Welcome to Theater of the Mind. Theater of the Mind is an unofficial d and D five e actual play podcast. Theater of the Mind is not appropriate for all audiences, and therefore, for listener discretion is advised. Welcome to Theater of the Mind, episode 13. My name is Mike. I'll be your DM today. And this week's question is, name something you have been holding back from the group, hoping for an opportunity to tell them. Why have you waited?

00:55.934 --> 01:29.314
My name's Amanda, and I'm playing Mel Kelly. Mel is absolutely terrified. Like, all the time, pretty much. And it's not even, like, because we're in a weird post apocalyptic thing. Like, she's literally always terrified about something, and she has literally never told anybody in her life this ever. And she's definitely not going to tell the group now because we're in a weird post apocalyptic thing, and every day is a battle, and she doesn't want to bring the group down. I mean, nobody needs that kind of negative energy, right?

01:31.774 --> 01:33.726
We need to find her some anti anxieties.

01:33.830 --> 01:35.278
Yeah, you need some Xanax.

01:35.446 --> 01:37.914
Well, it sure is how I eat the kale chips.

01:40.214 --> 01:41.674
Even she doesn't like it.

01:41.974 --> 01:42.838
Out of character.

01:42.886 --> 01:45.754
Out of character. I have learned kale chips are gross.

01:50.914 --> 02:15.854
I'm Jeremy. I'm playing Elliot. Brandy Bane. I'm having a hard time. Elliot speaks. If he wants to tell him, he just tells people and doesn't really care about what they think about it. So I can't think of anything that Elliot would not tell him for later unless he baked a birthday cake. But I don't think he's got a birthday cake in his saddlebags. I got nothing on that one.

02:17.094 --> 02:24.518
You got a birthday cake? You should tell us soon because it's been, like, a week and a half since we left your ranch, and that's the last time you could have baked it.

02:24.566 --> 02:26.486
Maybe it's a birthday cake mix.

02:26.670 --> 02:29.514
Yeah, that cake's birthday crumble.

02:33.854 --> 03:24.994
I am Bernal. I'm one of three mikes, so we go by last name here. I'm playing Olnack Vaga Johnson, and I've mentioned this a couple of times before the incident, so I have not told anybody about the incident because it caused people to lose their lives. And I find myself personally responsible for this. And I don't know how my current friends are going to take it if I bring it up and, like, reveal that some of the decisions I've made in my past during military service cost people their lives. Whether it's entirely my fault or not, it does feel like my burden and I felt responsible, and I just don't know how to bring it forward to the group in a way that would make sense. Also, I'm almost definitely gonna make horrible jokes about it. Cause that's how I cope.

03:25.454 --> 03:28.662
Tis the military way. The darkest of humans. Yes.

03:28.758 --> 03:30.034
I prefer coffee.

03:30.894 --> 03:59.054
Dark coffee and kale chips. Hi, I'm downs. I'm one of the mics, and I'm playing James O'Brien. James most recently told the group kind of, about his backstory, but something that James hasn't told everyone is he doesn't really know what he's doing. He'll be, like, incredibly confident about something that he's doing, and he has no idea what he's doing at all. Just blind confidence.

04:00.054 --> 04:05.474
Well, considering you wanted to take a wheelbarrow to cold Bren, I think some of us are starting to figure that out.

04:09.694 --> 04:41.594
I'm Casey. I play Emery Lee. And Emery, I think, is not. She's trying not to let on how much all the magic bullshit unsettles her. There's a lot of things that have happened that are truly just kind of upsetting in various ways, and she doesn't know how to process it because it's weird magic bullshit, and she doesn't know how to talk about it. So she's just kind of trying to face things as they come instead of thinking about it.

04:43.694 --> 04:50.034
Fair enough. With that. Let's go ahead and roll for recap. We'll go highest guess.

04:51.174 --> 04:55.674
This is clearly a group of people with the most well rounded coping mechanisms.

04:56.254 --> 05:04.274
Actually, I'm sitting here listening this. I'm going. Congratulations. You've just. Your heroes are a group of completely normal people, which is why you should never meet your heroes.

05:05.094 --> 05:06.990
Did you say highest goes or lowest?

05:07.062 --> 05:07.782
Highest goes.

05:07.838 --> 05:08.434
13.

05:09.014 --> 05:10.006
Also 13.

05:10.150 --> 05:10.834
616.

05:11.414 --> 05:14.886
16. What'd you get?

05:14.950 --> 05:15.318
I know.

05:15.366 --> 05:17.510
16. Oh, okay. Reroll.

05:17.542 --> 05:19.834
Reroll. That happens a weird amount.

05:20.334 --> 06:27.984
1015. We started the episode by killing an elk and butchering it. We brought it back to camp, and there was a weird humanoid shape skulking around the outside of our camp, which turned out to be a man in really ragged clothes who talked like he hadn't seen civilization in several weeks and had been in an ATV accident or something close to the time when everything stopped. And we gave him a leg of the deer in order to get him to leave without hanging around too long and sent him off towards rifle. And then we had a totally unbothered night of rest after that. Slept perfectly sound, knowing we had sent a weird man towards rifle and, uh, who eats raw. Oh, by the way Elliot and Olnock have a point of exhaustion is my note here. So they did not sleep soundly. The rest of us slept fine. And that was that.

06:28.644 --> 06:29.516
Perfect.

06:29.700 --> 06:34.732
He ate the elf rate meat raw, by the way. And I think James was having nightmares about that.

06:34.868 --> 06:35.396
Yeah.

06:35.500 --> 06:37.504
Yeah. He didn't even season it.

06:38.724 --> 06:42.944
Monster. No, they eat sage out here. They come preseasoned.

06:46.204 --> 06:46.772
Gross.

06:46.868 --> 06:49.064
And that was the only thing creepy about that guy.

06:49.884 --> 06:51.692
The only thing. Absolutely.

06:51.748 --> 06:52.356
Was it?

06:52.460 --> 06:53.300
Everything's creepy.

06:53.332 --> 06:58.340
Definitely not as weird, animalistic style sounding voice that had nothing to do with him.

06:58.492 --> 07:00.948
Or the fact that his clothes were all torn up and looked like you.

07:01.076 --> 07:06.638
Or the fact that he was clearly a wearable. But none of us know enough about magic to really confront that yet.

07:06.726 --> 07:07.766
Those aren't real.

07:07.950 --> 07:08.954
Exactly.

07:09.534 --> 07:11.994
But apparently it was the right time of the month.

07:12.894 --> 07:17.034
Wasn't that why Elliot and I couldn't sleep? We werewolf talking or some shit?

07:19.334 --> 07:30.970
You guys were skirted cause he was a werewolf. So you did not sleep well. Cause you rolled poorly on your charisma checks. Which makes sense considering the two of you are not exactly charisma based characters.

07:31.062 --> 07:32.594
I have a plus one in charisma.

07:32.674 --> 07:33.122
Yeah.

07:33.218 --> 07:35.106
Yeah, it just didn't do me any good.

07:35.210 --> 07:36.722
Look at you being all pretty.

07:36.818 --> 07:40.294
I have plus three. I have a plus 40.

07:41.914 --> 07:43.014
Yeah, that's right.

07:43.634 --> 07:45.294
James and I have bonded.

07:48.674 --> 08:03.144
All right. And, uh, yeah, I believe we are starting off that morning of the exhausted. What is this morning? Three? Of hunting, or after your second sleep of hunting?

08:03.964 --> 08:13.604
James is gonna get up and he's gonna pop his back multiple times. Like, whoa, better get to the coffee or else mill's gonna kill me. Did you two not sleep?

08:13.684 --> 08:14.804
Olnok. Elliot.

08:14.924 --> 08:16.184
Y'all look like hell.

08:17.084 --> 08:18.076
Shut up.

08:18.220 --> 08:19.144
Okay.

08:19.964 --> 08:23.864
On the bright side, I had help for my watch. And Olak did yoga.

08:24.634 --> 08:25.290
I did.

08:25.362 --> 08:28.122
Olna, did you take a picture with your fancy phone?

08:28.258 --> 08:29.934
It doesn't do that anymore.

08:31.074 --> 08:32.354
Yeah, what good is it?

08:32.394 --> 08:34.774
It was the point of the phone without taking pictures.

08:36.154 --> 08:40.202
It's perfect in every possible way. But if it can't take pictures of.

08:40.218 --> 08:42.330
Olnack doing yoga, then what's the point?

08:42.482 --> 08:52.684
Just please don't push anybody's buttons. Belle starts looking at the sky like he didn't mean it. We love you.

08:53.264 --> 08:54.472
Is she talking to God?

08:54.528 --> 08:55.444
What is that?

08:56.144 --> 08:57.284
What's his we?

08:58.304 --> 08:59.208
Shh.

08:59.376 --> 09:00.200
It's fine.

09:00.312 --> 09:03.952
Hang on. I gotta go. I think. I gotta go use the bushes. I'll be back.

09:04.088 --> 09:05.880
You gotta roll constitution.

09:06.032 --> 09:06.680
I did.

09:06.792 --> 09:07.104
Oh.

09:07.144 --> 09:08.164
I'll be right back.

09:09.824 --> 09:10.888
I think that's gotta go now.

09:10.936 --> 09:14.044
I think that's roll for constipation. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

09:14.904 --> 09:18.096
Is this about your demonic entity, who.

09:18.120 --> 09:28.584
Is a fine and wonderful. Probably not demonic, but definitely more powerful than us tiny little minions. She's still looking up at the sky like.

09:29.084 --> 09:31.484
Fair enough. Question answered.

09:31.644 --> 09:33.740
So anyway, Olnack did yoga.

09:33.812 --> 09:34.236
How's that?

09:34.260 --> 09:34.824
Like?

09:35.444 --> 09:37.864
I was nice. It was gentle yoga.

09:38.404 --> 09:45.276
It was calming. I did a lot of breathing and stretching. You still look like hell.

09:45.300 --> 09:46.092
So it didn't do much.

09:46.148 --> 09:59.708
No. Could not sleep. How did y'all sleep so well after what the hell we just witnessed? James, you especially. He ate raw meat with no seasoning. I thought that would bother you.

09:59.796 --> 10:00.052
It did.

10:00.068 --> 10:01.732
It gave me where I heard you having nightmares.

10:01.788 --> 10:02.684
It did. It did.

10:02.724 --> 10:07.236
It gave me plenty of nightmares, but I still slept. You decapitated like, three people.

10:07.300 --> 10:08.084
Yeah, but that's.

10:08.164 --> 10:09.324
That gave me nightmares.

10:09.444 --> 10:10.980
That gave all those nightmares.

10:11.092 --> 10:12.052
I did sleep through that.

10:12.108 --> 10:12.864
You're right.

10:13.584 --> 10:15.096
I slept like a fucking baby.

10:15.120 --> 10:16.124
It was amazing.

10:17.104 --> 10:21.564
So from in the distance, you hear, oh, hot diggity. It's about damn time.

10:23.584 --> 10:25.284
It's a good day for Elliot.

10:26.384 --> 10:29.312
I guess it's a good day to chase down some turkeys, huh?

10:29.368 --> 10:34.164
That's what's. Elliot. Elliot should be feeling nice and frisky.

10:35.584 --> 10:37.204
All right, everybody, I got coffee.

10:37.984 --> 10:39.032
We're gonna just cut that.

10:39.088 --> 10:40.164
Cut past that.

10:40.984 --> 10:41.376
All right?

10:41.400 --> 10:44.364
Coffee for you. No, coffee for Mel. Coffee for Elliot.

10:46.304 --> 10:47.484
Can I have a double?

10:48.024 --> 10:49.232
Sure, you can have Mel.

10:49.368 --> 10:52.616
Well, I. Well, okay, in my defense, I've already had two cups.

10:52.760 --> 10:53.484
Yeah.

10:55.464 --> 11:00.504
That'S where all the coffee's going. Put down coffee like a fucking crackhead. It's amazing.

11:00.624 --> 11:04.544
We probably should be a little less judicious with our coffee.

11:04.664 --> 11:10.304
Maybe we can roast some more before. Before it be possible and stock up on our way out.

11:10.644 --> 11:14.916
God, our ten. We're gonna have like ten pounds of carrying capacity of just coffee beans.

11:15.020 --> 11:15.892
I'm okay with that.

11:15.948 --> 11:17.784
I'm perfectly okay with that.

11:18.524 --> 11:21.864
I don't wanna think about facing a world without coffee.

11:22.284 --> 11:23.612
I could talk to the horses.

11:23.708 --> 11:26.284
I wonder if we can start bartering for tea.

11:26.444 --> 11:26.996
I think we can.

11:27.020 --> 11:30.932
I mean, it smells good coffee, but it's better than nothing.

11:31.068 --> 11:33.964
Yeah, that's true.

11:34.744 --> 11:36.684
Maybe we can go on a tea heist.

11:38.624 --> 11:40.256
Go back to our roots, you know what I'm saying?

11:40.320 --> 11:49.204
Have a tea party. Yeah, that sounds fun. You are going to Boston. Oh, my God, we are.

11:49.744 --> 11:52.884
I bet there won't be any tea left by the time we get there.

11:54.144 --> 12:00.174
Unfortunately, not a lot of people grow these things in America.

12:00.334 --> 12:01.718
I don't know if we can all.

12:01.726 --> 12:03.486
Right, Elliot, you're the resident hunter.

12:03.590 --> 12:08.434
Coffee? Are we going turkey hunting now or.

12:09.534 --> 12:12.374
Elliott comes back out of the bushes?

12:12.414 --> 12:12.990
Kind of.

12:13.102 --> 12:20.518
Okay, everyone, it's gonna be a good day. I got a good feeling about today. I'm a little tired, but we'll be. Who wants to go kill some turkeys?

12:20.606 --> 12:21.134
Woo.

12:21.254 --> 12:22.614
Elliot's gonna fist bump.

12:22.654 --> 12:24.150
How many people do you need to.

12:24.182 --> 12:25.886
Sorry, James. I read his name.

12:25.990 --> 12:26.794
My bad.

12:27.734 --> 12:31.838
James is Elliot would totally know how to hunt turkeys.

12:31.966 --> 12:33.022
Yes, he does.

12:33.158 --> 12:38.314
So he is gonna pick the appropriate method and the appropriate place.

12:38.614 --> 12:43.534
So, you know from Grif. Griff told you a location. Yep.

12:43.694 --> 12:47.110
That's true. Not to go there.

12:47.262 --> 12:50.606
So you'll go roughly in the area he talked about.

12:50.670 --> 12:51.030
Yep.

12:51.102 --> 13:04.024
Say it's about. He said it was like, a fair bit of a walk, but he wasn't exactly a quick walker. So we'll say it's maybe 2030 minutes by horse to get roughly to the area you think he was talking about.

13:05.724 --> 13:11.852
I don't know. Reason? I think. I don't know. I think we could all go.

13:12.028 --> 13:16.980
Okay, sure. And just bring with us kind of thing, like break down and.

13:17.172 --> 13:18.788
Eh, I leave camp where it's at.

13:18.876 --> 13:19.228
Okay.

13:19.276 --> 13:22.228
Unless you guys are worried about people coming through.

13:22.356 --> 13:30.620
You know, I've been camping enough times that people are very concerned about leaving food out. That was the only reason I was.

13:30.652 --> 13:37.236
Wondering, um, did we. Did we get our meat hung up properly up in trees away, do you think?

13:37.260 --> 13:43.844
We have talked to you about it? So the last conversation you guys had had about it, you didn't seem really concerned about the food.

13:44.004 --> 13:50.614
But if we leave camp, I definitely don't. We want to hang all the food. If we all leave camp and leave camp, then you're.

13:51.274 --> 13:54.330
Let's have spend a minute doing that. Yeah.

13:54.362 --> 13:55.274
Spend some time on it.

13:55.314 --> 13:55.442
Yeah.

13:55.458 --> 13:57.786
It won't take all that long. Throw a couple ropes in the tree.

13:57.850 --> 14:05.334
Bundle it up, drag it up. Survival check on it. You normally have advantage because favorite train, but you have exhaustion, so it's just a straight roll.

14:06.074 --> 14:08.294
Ooh, that's gonna be good. 17.

14:08.594 --> 14:16.886
Perfect. Yeah. You get it hung up and you're confident you can leave this for, you know, the better part of the day. You can't take a week away. Yeah.

14:16.990 --> 14:22.246
Do you think it would help if Emery did her cold thing on it to give it a nice chilled layer on top?

14:22.390 --> 14:22.854
I can't.

14:22.894 --> 14:24.166
It's been frosty in the morning.

14:24.230 --> 14:25.406
Right? Yep. It's still cold.

14:25.430 --> 14:26.190
It's cold enough.

14:26.262 --> 14:26.814
Okay.

14:26.934 --> 14:33.686
I mean, you. We won't hurt anything to do it. If you want to. But it's cold enough that it probably doesn't need it.

14:33.830 --> 14:34.574
All right.

14:34.734 --> 14:39.954
Yeah. Outside is basically still a fridge. It's still pretty chilly. It warms up. Okay.

14:40.034 --> 14:40.654
But.

14:42.554 --> 14:49.054
I may as well. It's a canned trip. I may as well. I'll just give it a little extra frost before we leave helping.

14:52.394 --> 14:52.746
All right.

14:52.770 --> 14:54.014
Which way to the turkeys?

14:55.394 --> 15:20.758
Griff told you it was somewhere up northish. So you head somewhere up north ish. It takes about 40 minutes by four sea to get there. You get to the rough area you think he's at. You see evidence of turkey. There's feathers. Because I'd imagine they molt a little bit from the winter into spring. That would make sense. Shed their winter coat as well.

15:20.926 --> 15:24.574
I don't know about turkeys, but I know geese molt their flight feathers in June.

15:24.734 --> 15:28.354
Okay, so we'll say turkeys do that too. I've never hunted a turkey.

15:28.934 --> 15:30.958
We're not at all familiar with how to hunt turkey.

15:31.046 --> 15:46.094
You definitely see they're rather large bird track scattered around. And off in the distance, you can hear the pretty distinct turkey gobble.

15:50.234 --> 15:51.294
What was that?

15:52.674 --> 17:13.700
So all the turkeys would come. I'll power everybody. Elliot, because he is a natural hunter, probably would have known to grab some grain of some kind out of our rations. Like, just a handful in his pocket, and he's gonna get it. He says, okay. He kind of finds a nice little clearing. He says, I'm gonna go out there. I'm gonna spread some of this grain out in this clearing, and we're gonna stay hidden around here. And I wanna be appropriate bow shot away from where we're gonna hide. And then we're gonna get everybody to sit down in the bushes and sit quietly and hide. I want anybody that has a chance to hit one, to hit a turkey, and then I will, literally. Cause I've actually seen this done. When everybody's sat quietly and everything's settled, I'm gonna gobble back to the turkeys to try to call them in. And I'll tell everybody we're going to try to call some in. When they start, you know, let them come in, try to let the whole group come in. And then when they start feeding, then we'll try to take. I think we decided we wanted about six of them. So if each one of us can take one, we'll be pretty close. All right.

17:13.772 --> 17:36.163
And Elliot would also know that, um, turkey hunting follows a lot of how you guys hunted the elk. It's pretty typical to find a blind, a lot of times up in, up in the tree. But ground blinds are not unheard of. Or even just setting up because it's a wait for them to come to you sort of thing. You don't go to them.

17:39.223 --> 17:43.888
Yeah, and I've actually seen guys that they would just go and they'd come running.

17:43.936 --> 17:46.144
So turkeys are not particularly scary.

17:46.184 --> 18:12.864
Hey, Elliot, as much as I would love to keep hearing you make that sound, by the way, is that gonna be an intelligent or a wisdom? Save against giggling, I'd say that's wisdom. Well, let's just assume I failed that. But as much as I'd love to keep listening to you make that sound, I could mimic a turkey sound with magic. That might be more effective.

18:14.644 --> 18:35.184
Okay, little girl, if you could do better, go ahead. Now, wait, before you start, call a couple of times. If they call back, you call to them. Call back and then go quiet. Because then they should start come looking for who made that sound. Don't keep calling to them. Call a few times and then go quiet. And then they should come looking to go, who made this sound?

18:35.814 --> 18:38.390
I will press to digitate turkey couple.

18:38.582 --> 18:44.114
Okay. Um. Sure. Yeah, you do that. That doesn't.

18:45.174 --> 18:46.254
Now it's a cantrip.

18:46.294 --> 18:52.474
So you out in the distance, you hear it come back.

18:56.774 --> 18:59.354
I nominate for inspiration for the Christian.

18:59.694 --> 19:00.254
That's fine.

19:00.294 --> 19:10.164
You can have inspiration. Then you hear it back to you morals.

19:14.144 --> 19:19.856
Could I have used minor illusion to make myself look like a boulder of some sort? Like up near one of the trees?

19:19.920 --> 19:25.644
I would have a duckblind. I 100% thought you were gonna say to make myself look like a turkey.

19:26.744 --> 19:31.724
That's how you die. Yeah, that's how you get shot. Fuck. There's one right there.

19:32.424 --> 19:34.644
I found one. Eldridge, blast.

19:40.424 --> 19:45.124
So you've got it good. Yes, you can have become a boulder. It only lasts 1 minute, if I recall.

19:45.824 --> 19:50.884
I figured out I'd time it so that when the turkeys are coming this way, I could have it up.

19:51.184 --> 20:04.012
Let's go ahead and just for the tracking of time, roll initiative. But you have disadvantage cause of your.

20:04.068 --> 20:04.276
Yep.

20:04.300 --> 20:04.932
So I gotta roll.

20:04.988 --> 20:06.024
I gotta roll again.

20:06.404 --> 20:07.980
I rolled out, so.

20:08.012 --> 20:11.588
Well, you're gonna have disadvantage to basically everything you do today.

20:11.676 --> 20:12.596
Except for attacks.

20:12.660 --> 20:15.704
Except for lay my one good roll, you dick.

20:16.844 --> 20:19.356
Let's go down the order of my piece of paper.

20:19.500 --> 20:21.104
Mel, 18.

20:24.764 --> 20:26.578
Illiot, 25.

20:26.746 --> 20:30.106
Damn. With straight roll. All right. Yeah.

20:30.130 --> 20:31.974
He didn't get advantage. He might have.

20:32.954 --> 20:35.534
Bull knock natty one.

20:37.114 --> 20:37.770
Okay.

20:37.842 --> 20:39.014
I had a 16.

20:39.914 --> 20:43.650
Damn it, Jimmy. Sorry.

20:43.682 --> 20:44.934
That threw me off 17.

20:46.754 --> 20:48.754
That's not at all why I did that.

20:48.914 --> 20:53.914
Emery four. I forgot my name looking at someone else's name.

20:57.494 --> 20:58.790
Go get him, buddy.

20:58.942 --> 21:00.422
All right. And now.

21:00.598 --> 21:03.134
Wait, where is Jacob? Did we leave it?

21:03.214 --> 21:04.046
He's on the back.

21:04.110 --> 21:05.086
No, he came with us.

21:05.150 --> 21:06.434
Yeah, okay.

21:06.774 --> 21:08.154
I assumed he came.

21:10.214 --> 21:12.954
Yes, I just assumed that he couldn't remember.

21:13.374 --> 21:13.806
Okay.

21:13.830 --> 21:16.150
No, you're right. He was at camp when Griff was there. Never mind.

21:16.182 --> 21:19.636
I couldn't remember, so I made him stay. I made him stay in the tent.

21:19.740 --> 21:21.824
Only two of you got out. Rolled by turkeys.

21:23.084 --> 21:24.624
Embarrassing for us.

21:26.204 --> 21:29.732
I'm like, zoned the fuck out, like. Cause I haven't slept for a day.

21:29.908 --> 21:35.304
The coffee got. You're both wired and absolutely dead inside.

21:36.004 --> 21:36.956
That's a great deal.

21:36.980 --> 21:43.556
Just a reminder, with the nat one, he had plus two, so he would be a 3.2. It won't change. Don't we worry about changing it. But he would have a three point.

21:43.740 --> 21:44.628
Okay.

21:44.796 --> 21:47.024
So just in case something else pops in.

21:49.764 --> 21:52.344
Oh, God. Oh, what now?

21:53.284 --> 21:54.172
Don't worry about it.

21:54.188 --> 21:55.100
Don't worry about it.

21:55.172 --> 21:55.380
Yeah.

21:55.412 --> 21:59.584
A wear turkey doesn't go. It goes, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble.

22:00.244 --> 22:01.804
That's that five foot turkey.

22:01.844 --> 22:02.356
There you go.

22:02.420 --> 22:03.704
Five foot turkey.

22:04.484 --> 22:10.194
All right, Elliot, Mel has started a rapport with the neighboring turkeys.

22:12.014 --> 22:18.670
I am going to use my action to hold very still and very silent to be super stealth.

22:18.822 --> 22:24.114
Perfect. Let's roll a stealth. I'm assuming you normally have advantage, but you're exhausted, so it's straight.

22:27.334 --> 22:28.474
23.

22:29.134 --> 22:50.574
Okay. You feel adequately hidden from tricky. I don't even need look, there's way there. Uh, Mel, you have a rapport going with turkeys. You have called twice, they have answered twice. Call a thrice back.

22:51.394 --> 23:02.074
After I do that, I'm gonna quietly look in the direction of wherever I last recall seeing Elliot. I don't have a bow. Can I fire both them?

23:04.334 --> 23:05.134
Yes.

23:05.294 --> 23:06.994
Be quiet, please.

23:09.734 --> 23:13.114
That's good, Jimmy.

23:13.854 --> 23:21.126
God damn it. Did it again. All right, anyway, James is going to do a stealth check bonus action. Hide.

23:21.270 --> 23:21.910
Okay.

23:22.022 --> 23:23.438
In his rock form.

23:23.566 --> 23:27.634
Perfect. We'll give you advantage. Cause you're.

23:27.794 --> 23:28.874
I now look like a rock.

23:28.914 --> 23:32.174
Yeah, look like Dwayne.

23:33.394 --> 23:35.074
That is a 26 for stealth.

23:35.194 --> 23:35.466
Yeah.

23:35.490 --> 23:36.214
Okay.

23:36.674 --> 23:39.654
You feel extra hidden, adequately hidden.

23:40.234 --> 23:45.642
And I'm gonna use my action to. I'm gonna hold action with my bow. Ready to shoot a turkey.

23:45.778 --> 23:46.574
Okay.

23:48.514 --> 23:51.174
The moment that I see Elliot fire is when I fire.

23:51.494 --> 23:52.070
Perfect.

23:52.182 --> 23:53.158
That's the trigger.

23:53.286 --> 24:00.198
Okay. We'll say you can have it for free for, like, three rounds. After that, you need to strengthen right.

24:00.246 --> 24:00.834
Yeah.

24:02.614 --> 24:14.594
Honestly, even 9th or one of that. 18 seconds. A long time to recurve. You're shaking already. Jacob's up. We're gonna see if he's smart enough to stay shushed.

24:17.074 --> 24:19.554
Al, what are we doing?

24:19.674 --> 24:20.334
Sh.

24:21.234 --> 24:24.330
Be very, very quiet. We're hunting turkeys.

24:24.402 --> 24:28.346
I am being quiet. The quietest I've ever been in my life.

24:28.450 --> 24:29.654
Stop talking.

24:35.754 --> 24:37.294
Then it's turkey's turn.

24:38.114 --> 24:42.294
That's exactly how kids stay quiet. Like they're dying inside.

24:42.654 --> 24:44.470
You can hear him quivering.

24:44.582 --> 24:45.314
Yep.

24:46.374 --> 24:47.634
Can confirm.

24:49.494 --> 24:51.674
He'S just vibrating with silence.

24:54.014 --> 24:56.110
Vibrating with silence.

24:56.262 --> 24:58.794
That's the best way to put that I've ever heard of.

25:00.094 --> 25:05.154
You hear the turkeys approaching, Emory?

25:07.694 --> 25:14.254
I am going to hold a frostbite spell for when I see a turkey.

25:14.414 --> 25:15.166
Okay.

25:15.310 --> 25:22.354
Actually, for when Elliot shoots at turkeys. That way I'm not scaring them off.

25:22.654 --> 25:24.554
Perfect. All right.

25:25.054 --> 25:29.834
I really hope we all pick different turkeys or else one turkey is gonna get fucking annihilated.

25:32.414 --> 25:34.754
Do you think we could get any feathers off that?

25:37.774 --> 25:40.246
I forget, do I have a bow?

25:40.350 --> 25:41.334
I don't believe so.

25:41.374 --> 25:42.486
I don't think I do.

25:42.590 --> 25:49.806
I believe that is why you are trying to procure something. Cause you can use one, but you don't have one. Right? Okay, so without a bow, what would you like to do?

25:49.950 --> 25:54.654
I don't even have like, a hatchet and throw. I got my big great axe.

25:54.734 --> 25:55.062
Yeah.

25:55.118 --> 25:57.790
That I can swing at if they get close enough.

25:57.982 --> 25:58.542
Yeah.

25:58.638 --> 26:00.434
So like a baseball pose.

26:01.134 --> 26:02.406
I'm gon get you.

26:02.470 --> 26:02.646
Right?

26:02.670 --> 26:06.718
Like. But like, quietly out of character.

26:06.766 --> 26:09.464
But from personal experience. Probably work.

26:10.764 --> 26:12.572
The turkeys aren't particularly.

26:12.588 --> 26:13.212
They're not smart.

26:13.268 --> 26:25.904
I'm just hiding in a bush and there's this glinting blade that they can. They could probably see if they were paying any attention. Cause I'm fucking out of it. We might get that turkey and kick his ass.

26:26.564 --> 26:29.724
If anything, the shiny of the axe is gonna draw them in more.

26:29.884 --> 26:30.584
Nice.

26:31.524 --> 26:33.464
So that's unintentional, but it's working.

26:34.544 --> 26:37.084
Elliot. Turkeys are getting closer.

26:38.024 --> 26:41.724
How many do I see in the clearing? Are they moving? Have they started feeding?

26:42.544 --> 26:47.328
They're moving towards the clearing. I made it yet say they're another turn away.

26:47.416 --> 26:51.608
Okay, I'm just going to continue sitting without moving.

26:51.656 --> 26:54.564
Or just run with your last stuff because you haven't moved.

26:55.304 --> 26:57.920
Mel, are they still calling or.

26:58.032 --> 27:14.064
Yeah, they're gurblet. It's, uh. Just for the sake of something roll. Like a. Persuasion.

27:15.484 --> 27:16.676
Animal handling.

27:16.820 --> 27:19.132
No, I think we should go with persuasion.

27:19.268 --> 27:21.424
We should totally go with persuasion.

27:22.484 --> 27:24.064
Oh, that's a ten.

27:24.564 --> 27:26.518
You needed that moment. I did.

27:26.566 --> 27:27.354
Badly.

27:28.454 --> 27:39.794
Uh, you hear the turkeys getting closer? They world worse. Not smart animals. They rolled a negative one on their intelligence check. Oh, my God.

27:42.054 --> 27:43.310
What is their modifier?

27:43.382 --> 27:44.054
Minus four.

27:44.134 --> 27:46.382
Minus four. Okay, that sounds right.

27:46.438 --> 27:50.874
Yeah. There's the dub dub. Uh, James.

27:51.914 --> 27:55.494
James is going to continue sitting in his boulder.

27:56.154 --> 28:00.014
All right, Jacob.

28:03.114 --> 28:04.130
Nice preemptive shift.

28:04.162 --> 28:05.534
He listens this time.

28:05.914 --> 28:10.454
Yep. You can still breathe.

28:13.954 --> 28:19.624
The turkeys enter the clearing. They see everywhere. You have the food. They begin the fooding.

28:20.084 --> 28:22.780
Eating. Eating. Maybe the word you're looking for.

28:22.812 --> 28:23.504
How many?

28:24.884 --> 28:41.184
Seven. Seven turkeys are feasting upon the grain you laid. Is this. You didn't have a health action. You were just hiding. Okay, Emory. There are turkeys eating.

28:41.844 --> 28:51.114
Emory tries to look at Elliot for some signal. Cannot see him, so she continues to hold frostbite until he fires.

28:52.654 --> 28:54.910
Oh, nock. Some turkeys are eating.

28:55.062 --> 29:15.984
I'm getting unusually excited to want to swing at this turkey, but since I am also very zoned out, I'm still just kind of staring at him. I'm almost like Jacob, like, shaking with a anticipation. I'm gonna decapitate the shit out of one of these turkeys.

29:17.484 --> 29:19.788
Are you holding your action again? Holding.

29:19.836 --> 29:20.676
I'm gonna stay.

29:20.820 --> 29:21.700
What is your trigger?

29:21.772 --> 29:23.884
Quietly, Elliot fires.

29:23.924 --> 29:26.156
Okay. Elliot fires. Everyone else does something.

29:26.220 --> 29:27.684
I'm gonna swing at one of them.

29:27.764 --> 29:39.404
Excluding Mel, currently, because she blow up. Speaking of Elliot, it's Elliott. Some turkeys are feasting. Everyone else is super anxious.

29:40.064 --> 29:45.840
Okay, I'm going to draw my bow. Take aim at the farthest away turkey.

29:45.912 --> 29:46.312
Okay.

29:46.368 --> 29:47.320
And take a shot.

29:47.472 --> 29:52.056
All right, let's roll that sweet turkey. Damage. Earth. Turkey attack.

29:52.160 --> 29:53.164
This is an attack.

29:53.824 --> 29:56.640
Normally, you'd have advantage because it's a beast, but you're exhausted.

29:56.792 --> 30:01.964
That's only on checks. Not on attacks. Not on attacks, not on tax, not on sage. Only on checks.

30:02.104 --> 30:03.904
Perfect. So you have advantage then.

30:05.444 --> 30:13.780
Favorite enemy. Oh, yeah. It's like way high, like 28 or something.

30:13.972 --> 30:16.024
Surprisingly, that does hit.

30:16.324 --> 30:19.604
If that bounced off the turkey, I would have. You have problems.

30:19.684 --> 30:25.064
Go ahead and roll that sweet damage and probably describe it.

30:27.544 --> 30:43.284
Yeah, he rolled, Max. His arrow's just gonna leave, and it's just gonna perfectly. The turkey's gonna take one peck, put his head up to do the little jerk to drop the deal, and it's just gonna perfectly cleave his head.

30:43.704 --> 30:44.112
Perfect.

30:44.168 --> 30:50.056
It's just gonna fall to the ground, and it's just gonna flop down. Didn't even realize it happened, and seems.

30:50.080 --> 30:53.484
How he's not a chicken. Princeruda he does die without his head.

30:54.194 --> 30:55.274
I aimed lower.

30:55.354 --> 31:00.338
There you go. All right. With that. That fires off a handful of people.

31:00.506 --> 31:07.494
Say the turkey. One of the turkeys, not the one that Elliot hit, has to roll a constitution safe.

31:09.874 --> 31:12.106
I watch Elliot shoot one, and it dies.

31:12.170 --> 31:13.442
And I shoot a different one.

31:13.498 --> 31:24.182
It's. It's second best stat here. It's only got a 40. Oh, my God. Uh. Fucking makes it. Rolled a 19 on the die.

31:24.358 --> 31:25.114
Wow.

31:25.654 --> 31:26.702
Super to.

31:26.878 --> 31:32.678
I fire, and the frost just kind of, like, hits it and then just kind of rolls off its back on either side.

31:32.806 --> 31:33.366
Shit.

31:33.470 --> 31:35.542
Frosts his feathers, but doesn't get through.

31:35.678 --> 31:36.262
Exactly.

31:36.318 --> 31:38.114
Give him his own personal flurry.

31:39.374 --> 31:40.854
James also had a held. Yes.

31:40.894 --> 31:49.144
James was also prepping an arrow. So he will fire at a random turkey that still has a head and doesn't have snowflakes over it.

31:49.964 --> 31:50.744
Yeah.

31:51.484 --> 31:53.692
That is a 21 day hit.

31:53.748 --> 31:53.980
Yep.

31:54.012 --> 31:55.076
I assume that hits.

31:55.220 --> 31:58.644
I'd roll your damage and probably just describe how you kill it.

31:58.724 --> 32:00.100
Yeah, that's gonna hurt.

32:00.172 --> 32:02.344
All you have to do is exceed three. Okay.

32:03.844 --> 32:06.652
I rolled five on just the short bow. Not the sneak attack.

32:06.748 --> 32:07.052
Perfect.

32:07.108 --> 32:08.364
So that's a total of eight.

32:08.484 --> 32:12.244
Okay. It is dead. How did you pet it?

32:13.184 --> 32:17.456
Probably not as fancy as Elliot's hip. I probably hit him, like, in the chest.

32:17.600 --> 32:18.328
Okay.

32:18.456 --> 32:22.936
I'm not good enough to hit it. Yeah, it was not a pretty kill, but I killed it.

32:23.080 --> 32:25.056
Horrible. Dying turkey sounds.

32:25.120 --> 32:25.600
Ew.

32:25.712 --> 32:29.568
And ulnok, we'll assume that you hid in a spot close enough for your ex to reach them.

32:29.616 --> 32:31.684
Yeah, it's gotta be the closest one to me.

32:35.864 --> 32:37.304
You were hidden, so you get advantage.

32:37.344 --> 32:37.520
Right?

32:37.552 --> 32:38.732
You get advantage because.

32:38.888 --> 32:42.060
Thank Christ. Cause that was a three.

32:42.252 --> 32:43.452
You're welcome.

32:43.628 --> 32:45.532
That would be a nine. I'm not doing much better.

32:45.588 --> 32:46.424
Oh, no, no.

32:48.044 --> 32:50.104
You got all your modifiers. You rolled a nine.

32:51.884 --> 32:53.756
It's gotta be more than a swipe.

32:53.780 --> 32:54.484
At least once.

32:54.564 --> 32:55.868
I think it's just once.

32:56.036 --> 32:56.876
Twice over.

32:56.980 --> 32:58.196
Weapon. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

32:58.220 --> 32:58.916
It's a plus five.

32:58.980 --> 32:59.620
Okay. You hit?

32:59.652 --> 33:00.420
Oh, no, I'm not in a rage.

33:00.452 --> 33:00.988
It's plus three.

33:01.036 --> 33:03.076
Don't hit. You do hit. Well, that's true.

33:03.100 --> 33:04.182
You haven't raised yet.

33:04.308 --> 33:06.178
I'm not raging. I'm just, like, zoned out.

33:06.266 --> 33:09.914
Twelve not angry. Hoop turkeys for those getting whiplash.

33:09.994 --> 33:10.974
Still got it.

33:11.474 --> 33:12.034
Yes.

33:12.114 --> 33:14.362
No. Yes. No.

33:14.538 --> 33:19.354
However, I am still swinging my battle axe, so it's a double. It's a d ten of damage.

33:19.434 --> 33:21.534
Perfect. All you have to do is roll better than three.

33:21.994 --> 33:25.642
I don't think he can roll under three. Cause I think that's his mod six.

33:25.698 --> 33:28.410
Yeah. Cause if he rolls a one. Plus his strength. Yeah. Oh, yeah.

33:28.442 --> 33:28.906
Plus straight.

33:28.930 --> 33:29.894
So that's a nine.

33:31.144 --> 33:32.624
You cut it in half.

33:32.784 --> 33:33.832
Describe what you did.

33:33.928 --> 33:51.804
So I'm aiming for its head, but I'm gonna go low. Cause it's a turkey, and I don't really know where to hit a turkey. And we're just gonna assume that I basically cleave this thing in twain. It's not gonna be worth much, but it's dead as shit.

33:52.144 --> 33:54.024
Well, we just needed the feathers.

33:54.144 --> 33:55.296
Yeah, we're just after the feathers.

33:55.320 --> 34:04.066
The rare pre butchered turkey. I think that's everybody's held. Cause Belle did not held she turkey.

34:04.250 --> 34:12.938
And now that everybody, everyone else is shot, I'll go, oh, crap. Right. And I'll shoot a fire bolt at one that somebody else wasn't shooting at.

34:13.066 --> 34:13.814
All. Right.

34:15.514 --> 34:30.308
That'S going to be a 16 to hit with nine damage. I'm really hoping that while I killed the turkey, I'm kind of hoping it's not actively on fire right now because that would make it hard to use the feathers.

34:30.356 --> 34:31.104
It would.

34:32.964 --> 34:35.892
Like, maybe I just smoked it from the inside out.

34:36.028 --> 34:37.504
You microwaved it?

34:38.044 --> 34:40.620
Have you hit it in the. I mean, the feathers aren't gonna catch.

34:40.692 --> 34:40.892
Yeah.

34:40.908 --> 34:49.096
They're not instantly flammable, I'm hope. I'm thinking I was probably aiming for the head, which means even if I didn't quite get the head, then maybe the tail feathers will still be good.

34:49.260 --> 34:50.072
Yeah, sure.

34:50.168 --> 34:54.256
Yeah. This isn't a life or death thing. That worked.

34:54.440 --> 34:55.968
You hit it on the front.

34:56.056 --> 34:56.392
Yeah.

34:56.448 --> 34:58.136
So the back feathers are fine.

34:58.240 --> 35:02.084
I think I should have told everybody we needed the wing feathers. I should have said something.

35:02.864 --> 35:15.452
Oh, I would have assumed tail feather too. All right, with that, it is James's turn. That is four dead turkeys. Last session, you said you. You wanted five or six.

35:15.548 --> 35:19.420
All right, I'm going to move to a different bush bodice action. Hide and shoot another turkey.

35:19.492 --> 35:20.116
Go ahead and hide.

35:20.180 --> 35:23.144
I'm going to do a combat roll to attack a turkey.

35:24.084 --> 35:25.892
Real intense turkey battle.

35:26.028 --> 35:27.828
There's another 26 for stealth.

35:27.876 --> 35:32.580
Jeez. The turkey doesn't know where you went. All right. And here we go to hit.

35:32.652 --> 35:34.024
That's a natural 20.

35:34.604 --> 35:36.636
You are fucking these turkeys up.

35:36.700 --> 35:40.362
Don't roll for damage. Just tell me what you did fairly.

35:40.362 --> 35:42.592
That one I hit square in the eye.

35:42.768 --> 35:43.524
Perfect.

35:44.464 --> 35:45.964
It was a turkey eye.

35:46.264 --> 36:03.564
It manages to walk for a little bit without realizing it's dead. Nothing is damaged except the brain and that one eyeball. The entire turkey is salvageable. Ha ha. And with that, it's Jacob's turn. He doesn't have weaponry.

36:04.544 --> 36:04.856
He.

36:04.880 --> 36:05.528
Whoops.

36:05.656 --> 36:07.704
Yeah, I was gonna say he makes noise.

36:07.784 --> 36:15.314
We're doing it. And it's turkey's turn. There's like, what, two left? They charge.

36:15.814 --> 36:17.406
They go into a rage.

36:17.590 --> 36:18.554
Wait, what?

36:19.694 --> 36:21.354
Barbarian turkeys.

36:21.734 --> 36:31.394
They roll a six on their intelligence check total. So they notice that their comrades are dead and they decide to not eat fat grain anymore.

36:33.254 --> 36:34.968
Turkeys are smart, bro.

36:35.166 --> 36:38.304
They're startled and it's Emery's turn.

36:38.604 --> 36:42.796
Um, I'm gonna do a different spell and I'm gonna cast a chaos bolt.

36:42.860 --> 36:44.964
Because I will battle. Wow.

36:45.004 --> 36:46.228
That escalated quick.

36:46.316 --> 36:48.404
Please not be listening. Please not be.

36:48.444 --> 36:51.144
The frostbite didn't work, so I gotta start.

36:53.004 --> 36:54.404
You roll to attack, right?

36:54.484 --> 36:56.508
I did badly. That was an eight.

36:56.676 --> 36:57.384
What?

36:57.844 --> 37:11.634
No, that was a three plus five. So I just shit. As this, like, whirling ball of energy splashes, like, right next to the remaining turkeys.

37:11.754 --> 37:13.594
It still does eat.

37:13.634 --> 37:14.650
Hang on, I gotta roll it.

37:14.682 --> 37:15.694
I was gonna say.

37:16.234 --> 37:16.994
Nope, we're good.

37:17.034 --> 37:17.894
Oh, God.

37:18.714 --> 37:19.854
Just wait.

37:20.954 --> 37:22.314
Nevermind, I'll ask later.

37:22.474 --> 37:28.398
Okay, old hak, I'm going to attack the closest turkey to me.

37:28.546 --> 37:30.054
You gotta charge in yelling.

37:30.134 --> 37:33.294
You're gonna have to move. Yeah, you gotta go in, go into.

37:33.334 --> 37:34.222
A rage and charge.

37:34.278 --> 37:34.494
No.

37:34.534 --> 37:36.994
Do not waste a rage on a turkey.

37:37.614 --> 37:39.878
God, Emery just does not like turkeys.

37:39.926 --> 37:42.874
She needs turkeys. She's just mad I shouldn't hit them.

37:43.894 --> 37:45.630
I'm the only one that hasn't hit one.

37:45.702 --> 37:50.670
I'm gonna run in like just my ax. Like up.

37:50.702 --> 37:51.574
Like, ah, yeah.

37:51.694 --> 37:57.534
Like just coming at it. We're gonna pray to God I don't roll like garbage.

37:59.314 --> 37:59.866
That'll work.

37:59.890 --> 38:00.694
Nat 20.

38:01.594 --> 38:04.374
Don't even bother rolling damage. What do you do to this turkey?

38:05.034 --> 38:12.098
So I cleaved one entwine horizontally. This one I'm gonna cleave twine vertically because I'm coming down on him.

38:12.226 --> 38:12.974
Perfect.

38:14.234 --> 38:16.322
So we just have two halves of a turkey now.

38:16.458 --> 38:30.552
It totally does that 13 ghost scene where it's still a turkey for a bit and seals apart, splits in half. And now you have two turkeys. With that, there is turkey left. There's Elliott's turkey.

38:30.608 --> 38:32.844
And that one turkey's real nervous.

38:33.504 --> 38:36.760
This guy ran screaming straight at it and killed his bunny.

38:36.792 --> 38:39.976
Elliot's concerned about the condition of a couple of these carcasses.

38:40.080 --> 38:41.256
He's gonna take a shot.

38:41.320 --> 38:42.804
That wasn't funny.

38:48.324 --> 38:49.344
Nat 20.

38:50.724 --> 38:53.916
Don't bother. These terms. Fucking audio.

38:54.060 --> 39:00.984
To be honest, after the last couple episodes, I feel like, we need to have a special disclaimer that maybe vegetarians should not listen.

39:01.924 --> 39:03.852
So we fucked up some animals in.

39:03.868 --> 39:23.364
This one as is making its run for actually, as much as Elliot's been practicing. And it was a Nat 20. Turkeys will fly a little ways. They don't fly very far. But the turkey took off and was flying away. And he not only does he hit it in flight, he knocks it. He's able to shave its head off too. In flight.

39:23.784 --> 39:24.256
Nice.

39:24.320 --> 39:25.324
And it drops.

39:27.304 --> 39:30.164
You have defeated the turkey.

39:31.744 --> 39:34.288
We spoiled your nefarious plot.

39:34.456 --> 39:36.736
I'm glad you guys were able to hit something.

39:36.920 --> 39:49.298
So I'm gonna take a. I assume we all have, like, bandanas or something like that. Cause those are useful things to have around. And I'm gonna press to digitate oat of peppermint oil and wrap it around my head and look at Emory and be like, what?

39:49.346 --> 39:51.178
One, please?

39:51.306 --> 39:52.570
And I'll do the same for her.

39:52.642 --> 39:53.218
Perfect.

39:53.346 --> 39:53.842
Okay.

39:53.898 --> 39:55.946
Cause I'm gonna be helpful today. Dammit.

39:56.090 --> 40:05.168
We really only need the wings off these turkeys. That's what we came for. And they're those flight feathers. Those are the feathers that we're after. However, this is good meat.

40:05.296 --> 40:08.832
I'm gonna say someone's bound to be willing to trade for it in town.

40:08.928 --> 40:27.632
Yeah, but this stuff we've got, we can grab these and take them back to camp. But we need to get them over a fire, start to cook and smoke them. We can start it here. We can go back to camp. It'll make less scent in camp if we do it here. How long did you say we rode to get here?

40:27.688 --> 40:27.976
20.

40:28.040 --> 40:29.528
Like 20 minutes. Yeah, it's still.

40:29.616 --> 40:31.296
Yeah. Let's grab these.

40:31.320 --> 40:32.192
Let's go back to camp.

40:32.248 --> 40:42.776
Yeah, let's take them back to camp. And as soon as we get back, we're gonna clean these and we're gonna start prepping to preserve it because this stuff goes bad fast.

40:42.920 --> 40:44.564
Well, one of them's already smoking.

40:44.944 --> 40:49.004
Yeah, that one will. Hey, good shot on that one.

40:49.744 --> 41:01.868
Cool. Let's just. For the sake of claiming we've done some looting, let's have, like, a survival check to see what is salvageable off of these birds.

41:02.036 --> 41:05.436
Is that a group survival or each of the recipes.

41:05.460 --> 41:07.516
Nice. 20 plus four.

41:07.580 --> 41:07.796
Okay.

41:07.820 --> 41:11.212
It doesn't count Elliott to roll it. Cause he's gonna have the best.

41:11.308 --> 41:19.204
But Elliot for sure knows that the two ulna killed. The meat's gonna be no good. He got into the guts pretty thoroughly.

41:19.324 --> 41:24.008
Yeah. You had to leave those for the. Leave those for the coyotes.

41:24.136 --> 41:42.844
We'll say the second one that Ulnok killed, the wings are fine because he had cleaved it in the hemisphere. But the one that he cut through the equator, some of the wing got damaged. Okay. We'll say fire bolt, because she aimed specifically for the front. Some of the wings got damaged. The meat's probably okay.

41:43.984 --> 41:48.276
Like says, our priority is the feathers, but we'll salvage whatever we can.

41:48.460 --> 41:55.716
So you could probably get, I'd say, five birds of meat. And we'll say five fleets.

41:55.780 --> 41:56.748
Five of each.

41:56.916 --> 41:59.212
Yeah. And wing meats.

41:59.308 --> 42:06.716
Emery rolled a net one on her survival. So I think, despite the peppermint bandana, she does have a moment where she's.

42:06.740 --> 42:10.316
Just kind of gagging to the side still, visually.

42:10.500 --> 42:11.220
Exactly.

42:11.332 --> 42:13.560
And she's remembering the smell from yesterday.

42:13.672 --> 42:18.776
And it's the smoking wild turkey. Wild turkeys are kind of rank anyway.

42:18.840 --> 42:20.648
And then the smoking one would be.

42:20.816 --> 42:22.112
Nope, they don't.

42:22.168 --> 42:29.056
I was gonna say Mel rolled a eight with her negative one. That's a seven. So all she knows is she's holding a dead thing.

42:29.160 --> 42:30.008
There you go.

42:30.136 --> 42:35.764
It's dead. What do I do with it? Only it's muffled because she has a bandana around her face.

42:37.384 --> 42:40.764
Cut its wings off, and. And we'll make a pile of wings right there.

42:41.664 --> 42:45.404
James has a high enough intelligence. He took the birds to Elliott. Cause he knows what you're doing.

42:45.944 --> 42:48.204
You probably learned how to butcher things, though.

42:49.344 --> 42:57.304
I feel like I give one to Jacob. Like, here, hold this. You've absolutely processed birds now, which fits the wing.

42:57.464 --> 43:04.762
Oh, for sure. But you're like an entire cow at your shops. Maybe weird, but, yeah, you've definitely processed birds. Yeah.

43:04.818 --> 43:08.294
Yeah. I can guarantee that is something you learn at culinary school.

43:09.554 --> 43:17.614
All right. But perfect. You guys were able to get that stuff I just said you got, and you're able to get it back to camp. No sled.

43:19.274 --> 43:38.834
So, Elliot, at this point, he's actually in a pretty good mood, even though he's really tired. Y'all can tell he's kind of dragging. But out in the woods, he's got his horses, he's hunting, he's putting up game. He's got a campfire going. Elliot is in hog heaven at this point. He's whistling, and he's ax mapping.

43:39.134 --> 43:49.118
Nice. So you get back to camp. Are you wanting to use your campfire to smoke them, or do you want to start a separate fire? You do need it to be a smokier fire than your campfire would normally be.

43:49.166 --> 44:05.584
Yeah. We'll kind of put it off the edge of camp a little ways so the wind isn't blowing smoke into our eyes, but not far enough that anything, especially coyotes or can sneak in and snag something off the fire. We want it close enough that nothing's going to bother, but we don't want it right in the dead center of the camp.

44:06.044 --> 44:23.398
And you know, enough about fire. You know how to build a fire that would lean more towards smoke and less towards, you know, what we normally want. So you're able to build that up, no problem. And it'll take, I would say you probably got to spend one more night, probably to get them thoroughly, safely.

44:23.476 --> 44:25.894
Yeah. And I'm not sure, but Elliot would.

44:26.714 --> 44:29.754
Turkeys are not a small bird, so I'm gonna say it's probably gonna take all night.

44:29.794 --> 44:34.234
Yeah, it's at least a few hours at minimum.

44:34.394 --> 44:41.634
Cause you split them open, and so you got halves. You're not trying to do the entire, like you do in the oven. We'll make spatchcock.

44:41.674 --> 44:42.154
Turkey.

44:42.234 --> 44:43.214
There we go.

44:43.874 --> 44:45.730
Well, Elliot, is this funny word?

44:45.802 --> 44:46.930
These enough feathers?

44:47.082 --> 45:00.464
I think so. You know what? We can, if we need to, we could supplement, like pick up. We just need. And he holds up the big flight feathers. He says, we just need these. We can literally pick them up off the ground.

45:01.804 --> 45:03.084
Now you tell us.

45:03.164 --> 45:12.380
Well, you know, I'm kind of tired. I didn't sleep real, you know, I think we need 180 feathers.

45:12.492 --> 45:16.172
Yeah, it's exactly. It's like midday at this point, right?

45:16.228 --> 45:16.864
Yeah.

45:17.264 --> 45:36.168
I think that knowing that there were at some point kind of turkeys nearby, Mel might take Jacob out and be like, okay, we're gonna look for turkey feathers. As long as we can stay within sight of the fire. Like, not actually the smoke, but the fire. We'll wander around and look for turkey feathers.

45:36.296 --> 45:36.608
Cool.

45:36.656 --> 45:38.444
Because it's something to do.

45:38.864 --> 45:40.444
James is gonna make lunch.

45:40.904 --> 45:45.344
All right. For the sake of seeing your success roll survival.

45:46.484 --> 45:48.404
Can she have advantage? Cause Jacob's help.

45:48.444 --> 45:49.516
Jacob's help, sure.

45:49.580 --> 45:54.468
Yeah. Well, can Jacob aid me? Because I don't doubt for a second that child's better at this than me.

45:54.516 --> 45:54.748
Sure.

45:54.796 --> 45:56.452
Kids are great at finding shit.

45:56.548 --> 45:57.348
Then I don't have to figure out.

45:57.356 --> 45:59.876
What his stat for that is. So. Yeah, that's awesome.

45:59.940 --> 46:02.476
Oh, sweet. So that's a 14.

46:02.660 --> 46:13.084
Okay. Yeah, you guys are able to find a handful. You find probably some other birds feathers as well, probably some pheasant feather.

46:13.784 --> 46:17.712
And I'll be like, take those two. I don't know. Like, I don't know.

46:17.768 --> 46:20.944
There's absolutely quail in the area, so maybe find some of their feathers.

46:21.064 --> 46:23.000
Those would be really small, though.

46:23.192 --> 46:25.640
We're taking them. I don't know. Yeah.

46:25.672 --> 46:26.524
Make allies.

46:29.744 --> 46:56.916
But, yeah, you guys are able to kill however long you want to kill doing that. Find a. Find a quantity of arrows that plot plus the wings equals more than enough for the arrows you need. There's probably an excess. I honestly, I don't know how many feathers come to a wing, but there's got to be enough. Probably. We'll say there's enough. These are big ass turkeys. We're abnormally small to make this work. Whatever's correct.

46:56.980 --> 46:57.268
Yeah.

46:57.316 --> 47:03.756
Can I finish making lunch in, sneak up on Mel and Jacob and scare the crap out of them with food?

47:03.940 --> 47:08.836
Sure. Cook the food. How well do you do? Well. Yeah.

47:08.860 --> 47:10.744
Let's see if I scare them with the food.

47:12.324 --> 47:14.580
That is a. What is that a performance?

47:14.692 --> 47:17.024
I forgot what we were doing for this check. Yes, sir.

47:17.404 --> 47:18.636
That is a 19.

47:18.820 --> 47:19.744
Good food.

47:21.044 --> 47:23.064
Made questionable sandwiches.

47:23.964 --> 47:30.072
Pretty good sandwiches say, like, grilled turkey out of 20. Yeah, pretty baller sandwich.

47:30.248 --> 47:34.744
It's like a real turkey sandwich with a slab of elk bean on it.

47:34.904 --> 47:35.992
Elk bacon.

47:36.128 --> 47:36.752
Yeah. There you go.

47:36.768 --> 47:37.764
It's like Thanksgiving.

47:38.104 --> 47:39.592
The tblt.

47:39.688 --> 47:42.544
So, what, you're gonna roll a stealth to sneak up on us?

47:42.624 --> 47:43.284
Yep.

47:44.144 --> 47:45.640
Do I roll a perception check?

47:45.672 --> 47:47.128
You are actively looking for things.

47:47.216 --> 47:47.440
Yeah.

47:47.472 --> 47:47.704
Yeah.

47:47.744 --> 47:50.600
Who knows? Maybe I perceive something created the ground.

47:50.672 --> 47:56.276
You don't get his aide, James, or Jacob. Jacob is also looking.

47:56.380 --> 47:57.124
Okay.

47:57.284 --> 47:58.264
Independent.

47:58.604 --> 48:00.824
That's a 23 for my stealth check.

48:02.004 --> 48:03.824
That would be a passive of nine.

48:04.844 --> 48:06.944
You adequately sneak up on the both.

48:08.844 --> 48:11.100
Mel screams at karate chops.

48:11.252 --> 48:13.104
I don't think those feathers are gonna be enough.

48:14.444 --> 48:18.700
Yeah, I don't know if I hit him. Do I need to roll to see if I hit?

48:18.772 --> 48:20.484
Yeah, if that's what you want to do.

48:20.524 --> 48:20.964
Roll the hit.

48:21.004 --> 48:28.828
I kind of do, actually. Do I have anything to plus this to an unarmed attack?

48:28.916 --> 48:31.492
Yeah, you'd be proficient. Plus your strength bonus.

48:31.668 --> 48:33.756
Oh, that's a ten to hit.

48:33.860 --> 48:34.612
Oh, that misses.

48:34.668 --> 48:38.864
No, don't do that.

48:40.204 --> 48:41.540
Just keeping you on your toes.

48:41.612 --> 48:42.260
You scare those shit.

48:42.292 --> 48:43.664
I might have died.

48:44.194 --> 48:45.934
He's got tears in his eyes.

48:47.234 --> 48:48.930
You may look what you did.

48:49.002 --> 48:49.610
Oh, okay.

48:49.642 --> 48:52.134
I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Jacob. Okay.

48:53.354 --> 48:56.570
I thought you were another one of the zombie creatures.

48:56.722 --> 48:59.454
Oh, I'm not. I brought food. I'm gonna hand him a sandwich.

48:59.794 --> 49:01.098
Shakily takes it.

49:01.186 --> 49:01.722
Apology.

49:01.818 --> 49:02.090
Lunch.

49:02.122 --> 49:02.338
Lunch.

49:02.386 --> 49:03.814
You jerk.

49:04.914 --> 49:11.454
As I'm like, petting Jake, patting Jacob on the back. I'm gonna get a hand mellow sandwich. It's like this is yours.

49:11.994 --> 49:13.574
I'll take the sandwich.

49:14.354 --> 49:16.242
Did you guys find any good feathers?

49:16.338 --> 49:21.666
Yeah, yeah, we found all kinds of feathers. We got big ones and little ones and white ones and turkey ones.

49:21.730 --> 49:23.738
I think he wants them to be about that long.

49:23.826 --> 49:26.730
I don't know. I'm helping. He can sort it out later.

49:26.802 --> 49:29.474
Yeah, unless you're making a pillow, I don't think some of these are gonna work.

49:29.634 --> 49:32.894
He can sort it out later. We're helping. All right.

49:35.314 --> 49:43.734
So you head back to camp. You guys are still killing some time looking. Go ahead and roll. A perception, another perception for me.

49:44.754 --> 49:46.854
I'm keeping James in front of me.

49:49.354 --> 49:50.654
James or Jacob?

49:51.154 --> 49:58.934
James. I want James where I can see him. Okay, that's a 16. I'm much more alert now.

49:59.794 --> 50:11.006
Now that your eyes have been opened thoroughly, you get a little bit back in the shrubbery and you do find a couple of turkey carcasses that have just been destroyed.

50:11.070 --> 50:11.754
Oh.

50:12.174 --> 50:20.154
As if out of rage. Not like something you'd expect an animal to do. There is a bit of turkey here, a bit of turkey there, a bit of turkey there.

50:21.054 --> 50:22.406
Ol milk's okay, right?

50:22.470 --> 50:26.234
It's not. It's not fresh. Fresh. It didn't happen today.

50:26.534 --> 50:27.966
A bell would be able to tell.

50:28.030 --> 50:32.842
That you could see that the blood has pretty much been sucked into the ground.

50:32.938 --> 50:39.082
Okay. I don't know if Mel would know how to, like, comprehend what she's looking at, but.

50:39.218 --> 50:46.810
And with that, you see that Jacob also sees this. These turkeys have been destroyed.

50:46.962 --> 50:50.282
If it's not fresh fresh, it probably smells awful.

50:50.378 --> 50:57.254
Yeah. Yeah. Oh, okay, let's keep going. How about how far from camp are we at this point?

50:58.114 --> 51:01.414
Like a five minute walk. You can see it.

51:01.754 --> 51:05.754
So like maybe 3400 yards?

51:05.834 --> 51:06.454
Sure.

51:07.754 --> 51:08.490
Okay.

51:08.602 --> 51:12.146
You have the lung capacity. Probably scream back to camp if that's.

51:12.170 --> 51:31.574
Your goal, but I'm not going to. I've got. I don't want to make Jacob any more nervous since somebody's got him terrified. And I do have James with me who at least has some ability to defend ourselves. So I'm just like, we should mention this when we go back to camp.

51:31.954 --> 51:35.162
You go ahead and roll a perception too. Okay. Sorry, I thought you went back to camp.

51:35.218 --> 51:41.018
Oh, yeah, sorry. That is a passive 14. And I rolled a two.

51:41.146 --> 51:42.934
She points out the turkeys to you.

51:45.714 --> 51:50.964
Yeah. Yeah. That's not. That's not normal, right? Is that normal?

51:51.124 --> 51:55.836
I don't think so. Can I investigate them closer, see if I can see like claw marks of like, what did this?

51:55.900 --> 51:57.944
Yes. Go to roll an investigation.

52:00.164 --> 52:01.224
That's an 18.

52:01.684 --> 52:35.120
You see, you're able to gather that there's probably, like, three or four turkeys here, none of which are even remotely attacked anymore. There are feathers everywhere. And the thing that you start noticing, especially considering you just helped cut these turkeys in half to get them smoking, I'm assuming you helped with that. Yeah. The major organs are gone. There's no liver, there's no heart. There's no. The guts are still there. The gross guts are still there.

52:35.192 --> 52:38.104
Yeah. The viscera is still there, but not the.

52:38.184 --> 52:49.864
Okay. Major organs are gone. There is absolutely deep slash marks into the meat. The meat itself doesn't seem to have been eaten much, just the organs are gone.

52:50.164 --> 52:57.116
All right. And can I tell, like, what kind of, like, how many claw marks there are? Like, are there five digit claw marks.

52:57.180 --> 53:00.156
Or is it, like, less looking close? It's four.

53:00.260 --> 53:01.064
Okay.

53:02.124 --> 53:14.512
Occasionally, maybe it might be five. You see? Definitely some aggressive. What you determine to be, like, bite marks with claws coming away from the bite.

53:14.608 --> 53:21.784
Gotcha. So I'll probably mention that to Mel as quietly so that Jacob can hear.

53:21.864 --> 53:26.768
If you genuinely don't want Jacob to hear. Let's go ahead and roll. Stealth, I guess.

53:26.816 --> 53:29.804
Okay. Hopefully I'm not too stealthy that you can't hear me either.

53:30.744 --> 53:32.672
Her to hear you. We'll say she can hear you.

53:32.728 --> 53:35.648
Okay. That is an 18 for stealth.

53:35.776 --> 53:38.856
Yeah. You're able to do it without Jacob being weird. Okay.

53:39.040 --> 53:44.792
They don't have any of the organ. All of the organs are not, like, the heart delivered.

53:44.968 --> 53:47.568
That's not normal. Right? I don't know.

53:47.736 --> 53:49.512
I'm not a wild animal, like, with.

53:49.528 --> 53:55.456
How torn up these things are. It was methodical and taken the organs, but it didn't really eat a whole heck of a lot of the meat.

53:55.560 --> 53:56.828
I don't like that at all.

53:56.976 --> 54:00.344
Yeah. Did this on purpose, but, like, very angrily.

54:01.324 --> 54:19.116
Hey, Jacob, let's. I've got an idea. Let's do a race. Let's see who can get back to camp the fastest. And I, like, basically throw all the feathers at James and be like, see ya in five. And so then I'm hoping Jacob will fall for it and we'll race back to camp.

54:19.220 --> 54:23.088
I'm basically a ninja. You're gonna lose.

54:23.276 --> 54:30.804
All right, count of three. Ready? Three. And he goes, and I go after him.

54:31.464 --> 54:35.124
I'm gonna start walking back to camp, throwing out the feathers that are useless.

54:36.104 --> 54:41.964
Seems how this is your strong point. I don't think you've got to roll this yet. I'm assuming athletics is one of your best stats.

54:42.264 --> 54:43.884
Otherwise, that's a weird build.

54:44.184 --> 54:47.232
Actually, that would be acrobat.

54:47.328 --> 54:49.750
We could argue leaping over.

54:49.862 --> 54:52.558
I've got. Yeah, it's about the same. I've got a plus three, so go.

54:52.566 --> 54:57.614
Ahead and roll just to see how badly you're ridiculously in shape. Self. Whoops. This kid.

54:57.734 --> 55:02.870
Six. I want Jacob to win. I let him win.

55:02.982 --> 55:06.102
Ironically, he rolled a six, so.

55:06.238 --> 55:07.078
So I.

55:07.126 --> 55:11.714
You let him win and that's the only reason he does? He's surprisingly not swift.

55:12.854 --> 55:19.818
Looking at this kid, I'm like, did you, uh. Do you have asthma, Jacob?

55:19.866 --> 55:22.014
No, I haven't run.

55:22.754 --> 55:25.690
I thought you guys were gonna race. We got back around the same time.

55:25.882 --> 55:30.250
Do you not do. I thought you did sports. Didn't you do sports?

55:30.322 --> 55:31.642
I did t ball the once.

55:31.738 --> 55:33.214
Oh, that doesn't even count.

55:35.114 --> 55:38.214
Mom tried to make me do soccer, but I talked her out of it.

55:38.594 --> 55:42.178
Jacob, my friend, you and I need to start jogging together in the mornings.

55:42.306 --> 55:44.094
Hi. Would we do it on purpose?

55:44.434 --> 55:46.454
It's fun, I promise.

55:47.514 --> 55:52.894
I could taste blood. You can taste blood? Wow.

55:53.194 --> 56:07.614
Saying, Jacob, it's a new world out there and I think it's important that we all have the ability to run in the event that we need to. So we're gonna do a little. You're gonna go on. I think you and I should go on some runs together. I'll go easy on you, I promise.

56:07.714 --> 56:12.394
Oh, God. Okay. Okay. As long as it's not as hard as that just was.

56:14.494 --> 56:15.794
It won't be.

56:18.334 --> 56:22.310
I think. I think Emery and Olmach are playing tic tac toe in the dirt.

56:22.462 --> 56:23.154
Nice.

56:24.574 --> 56:27.674
Has anyone seen Elliot? Is Elliot not currently moving?

56:28.294 --> 56:30.046
Elliott waiting over here.

56:30.110 --> 56:31.894
I'm checking on to me, it's nighttime.

56:31.934 --> 56:32.852
You can see him.

56:32.998 --> 56:34.432
Well, we'll go over to daytime.

56:34.488 --> 56:35.128
I'm right in. Yeah.

56:35.176 --> 56:37.800
James and I will go over to Elliot and tell him what we saw.

56:37.872 --> 56:40.004
We just fed them lunch. It's only daytime.

56:41.344 --> 56:43.632
I thought that with the whole dark vision I couldn't see him at all.

56:43.728 --> 56:47.152
Oh, I assume during the daytime you're not using your dark vision.

56:47.248 --> 56:47.768
Not usually.

56:47.816 --> 56:48.960
So he doesn't disappear.

56:49.072 --> 56:50.808
I didn't know that was something you could turn off.

56:50.936 --> 56:57.564
I'm not gonna lie. If there's any clips right now, Mel will lose her shit. That's just one thing too many.

56:57.944 --> 56:58.352
What?

56:58.408 --> 57:03.148
If there's any clips right now, Mel will lose her shit. That's just one thing too many.

57:03.236 --> 57:03.740
An eclipse.

57:03.772 --> 57:04.612
An eclipse.

57:04.708 --> 57:06.460
Eclipse. An eclipse.

57:06.532 --> 57:07.396
There we go.

57:07.500 --> 57:13.532
Like, she'll go like full on medieval hero and we're all gonna attack.

57:13.628 --> 57:14.732
I was thinking of, like, a chip.

57:14.788 --> 57:17.064
Any, like, a bag. Clips.

57:17.644 --> 57:19.784
Eclipse. Eclipse.

57:21.484 --> 57:25.584
So when Mel and Jacob were out collecting feathers, here they are, by the way.

57:26.234 --> 57:28.146
Hey, that's not as many as I gave you.

57:28.170 --> 57:29.490
What'd you do with them all?

57:29.602 --> 57:30.098
It's fine.

57:30.146 --> 57:30.546
You know what?

57:30.570 --> 57:31.494
He's talking.

57:33.394 --> 57:34.986
Go play with Jacob.

57:35.170 --> 57:36.374
This is important.

57:36.754 --> 57:41.114
So I kindly brought them lunch, you know? Cause it was lunchtime, and we noticed.

57:41.154 --> 57:42.494
He made Jacob cry.

57:42.834 --> 57:52.358
There was a bunch of dead turkeys. Not the ones that we killed. The bunch that were just, like, torn, shredded. And most of the beet wasn't eaten, but the organs were gone.

57:52.446 --> 57:54.874
Do wild animals normally do that? Is that a thing?

57:56.054 --> 58:05.142
No, that's not normal for wild animals to do that. I've heard stories of wolves doing things like that, but I don't know if those stories are true.

58:05.278 --> 58:07.314
This was, like, 400 yards from camp.

58:07.854 --> 58:09.662
I'm gonna try describing the claw marks.

58:09.718 --> 58:10.102
Okay.

58:10.158 --> 58:14.154
Do these sound familiar? I mean, we can just go and look at them.

58:15.054 --> 58:18.604
Okay, I'll go walk over and go look at the things.

58:18.724 --> 58:19.820
Okay. Go ahead and roll it.

58:19.852 --> 58:28.884
Make an investigation on it. I, the player, have a guess, but I don't know what Elliot will come up with. Yeah, Elliot's got no idea.

58:28.964 --> 58:34.436
He's like, ah, that's weird. There are definitely some massacred turkeys over there.

58:34.500 --> 58:36.584
Yep, yep, these are turkeys.

58:37.164 --> 58:38.884
We're gonna have to, if you care.

58:38.924 --> 58:41.104
I wrote three on my investigation, so.

58:41.644 --> 58:42.356
Ow.

58:42.500 --> 58:45.768
Yeah, okay. Huh.

58:45.856 --> 58:49.472
That's weird. I'll go back to camp.

58:49.568 --> 58:52.232
All right. Guess what?

58:52.248 --> 58:56.712
We'll keep an eye out for a turkey. Organ stealing monster.

58:56.808 --> 58:59.448
Yeah, maybe they're selling them on the black market.

58:59.536 --> 59:01.264
Oh, yeah. The organ trade for turkey.

59:01.304 --> 59:05.844
And we're a long way from thanksgiving, so nobody's going for giblet gravy, so. I don't know.

59:06.744 --> 59:11.394
Mel will spend the afternoon teaching Jacob the wonders of interval training.

59:11.934 --> 59:12.734
Oh, my God.

59:12.774 --> 59:13.518
Poor kid.

59:13.646 --> 59:16.734
Oh, God, you are torturing him. Are you doing the pacer?

59:16.894 --> 59:20.110
Oh, putting him through the wringer, dude.

59:20.302 --> 59:21.446
It's good for him.

59:21.510 --> 59:23.718
Poor Jacob's gonna have a point of exhaustion tomorrow.

59:23.806 --> 59:24.558
That's fine.

59:24.606 --> 59:29.274
If he sleeps well, it means that whatever crazy thing happens next, he might sleep through.

59:31.934 --> 59:37.832
Aside from the interval training, is there anything else? Dinner. Which is.

59:37.888 --> 59:39.364
Surprise. More elk.

59:39.704 --> 59:40.152
Yeah.

59:40.208 --> 01:00:00.296
And all I'm doing is just making. Tending the fire, making sure that everything's the right temperature and smoking well. And I'm spending, and I'm not working hard. I'm just. That's kind of occasionally go over, check on the horses, make sure. They've had water. They're in good shape. Just kind of put. I'm just puttering around camp between intervals.

01:00:00.360 --> 01:00:06.924
Mel's going to ask Jacob something she should have thought to ask, like a. Where were you from?

01:00:08.624 --> 01:00:25.096
Well, I. We were. We were supposed to be moving to our new town. I was. I was living. I grew up in Orem, Utah. Yeah.

01:00:25.240 --> 01:00:29.204
Oh, no wonder this hurts. You've got elevation problems.

01:00:31.344 --> 01:00:49.604
Dad had just gotten a new job in Castle Rock, so we were moving there. We were just in our car, and the moving truck was supposed to be behind us. Is that where you're taking me? It's back to Castle Rock. So I could find my mom.

01:00:50.504 --> 01:01:01.384
Maybe. We might be going through that area. And if that's the case, then maybe we can and find some family or something. Did you guys have relatives over there besides your parents?

01:01:01.724 --> 01:01:04.980
Not in Castle Rock. Grandma lived in Utah.

01:01:05.132 --> 01:01:05.864
Oh.

01:01:06.764 --> 01:01:08.344
I have an aunt somewhere.

01:01:08.724 --> 01:01:09.620
Yeah?

01:01:09.812 --> 01:01:14.052
Yeah. I don't know where she lives, so she just comes and visits.

01:01:14.148 --> 01:01:15.584
Does she happen to be a nun?

01:01:18.084 --> 01:01:18.824
No.

01:01:19.204 --> 01:01:20.864
Oh, okay. Just curious.

01:01:21.994 --> 01:01:30.374
No, I think she was a counter. I think she did the countering for her company.

01:01:33.114 --> 01:01:34.754
Like an accountant, maybe.

01:01:34.914 --> 01:01:38.214
That sounds great. She kept saying she was an accountant.

01:01:38.994 --> 01:01:42.534
Well, they do refer to themselves as bean counters sometimes.

01:01:42.874 --> 01:01:51.954
Yeah, I thought that was weird. But I don't know what she counted. I doubt it was beans.

01:01:52.814 --> 01:01:53.954
Perhaps not.

01:01:56.814 --> 01:02:04.206
Bye. Yeah. What do you mean, maybe? Like, you might be. Where else am I going?

01:02:04.390 --> 01:02:10.990
Well, we don't know exactly where we're going, and so you could take me there? Potentially, yeah.

01:02:11.142 --> 01:02:12.510
I miss my mom.

01:02:12.702 --> 01:02:20.128
Yeah, my dad. I miss my mom and dad, too. But that's okay. We'll find everybody someday.

01:02:20.216 --> 01:02:21.080
My dad's so tough.

01:02:21.112 --> 01:02:21.392
I know.

01:02:21.408 --> 01:02:23.044
He got away from those bikers.

01:02:24.704 --> 01:02:25.764
I hope so.

01:02:26.304 --> 01:02:28.124
He's stronger than most dads.

01:02:29.064 --> 01:02:33.896
I bet he is. Okay, ready for your next general?

01:02:34.040 --> 01:02:34.724
No.

01:02:37.984 --> 01:02:38.520
Come on.

01:02:38.552 --> 01:02:43.724
Sorry. Sorry I didn't run fast earlier. I'll run faster next time, I promise.

01:02:46.184 --> 01:02:48.224
Come on, it's fun. I promise.

01:02:48.344 --> 01:02:50.324
I didn't mean anything by it.

01:02:51.464 --> 01:02:54.360
Okay, last one. Last one, and we'll call it a day.

01:02:54.392 --> 01:02:56.280
Well, you said last time, and this.

01:02:56.312 --> 01:02:57.432
Time I made it.

01:02:57.608 --> 01:03:03.648
He begrudgingly gets ready. You guys run.

01:03:03.736 --> 01:03:04.404
Yeah.

01:03:05.404 --> 01:03:19.692
If there's not anything else anybody wants to do today, the day can pass safely and uneventfully. You, uh. You feel confident that you could leave the turkeys on the smoker overnight? They'd be fine. You could take them off the smoker. It gets cold enough. They'll be fine. Okay.

01:03:19.868 --> 01:03:23.220
I can also blast. Chill them before we go back.

01:03:23.252 --> 01:03:28.144
Yeah, let's do that. Yeah. They've had the day to cook and then to freeze them. That'd be great.

01:03:29.044 --> 01:03:29.452
Yeah.

01:03:29.508 --> 01:03:31.500
I'll frost bite the hell out of those turkeys.

01:03:31.652 --> 01:03:32.076
Perfect.

01:03:32.140 --> 01:03:35.184
I give them some extra spice because I couldn't hit them when they were alive.

01:03:36.884 --> 01:03:41.744
You succeed this time. They don't nudge. They fail their constitution checks.

01:03:42.124 --> 01:03:44.024
Don't worry, you'll get them next time.

01:03:44.324 --> 01:03:45.308
I got them this time.

01:03:45.356 --> 01:03:46.704
I don't know what I'm talking about.

01:03:47.524 --> 01:03:58.864
And with that, we can go for watches if you want. By the way, if there's anything you particularly want to do or this evening could just kind of pass on eventfully.

01:03:58.944 --> 01:04:03.600
Yeah, I figured Elliot and Olnock would just spend the entire night sleeping. Don't have to worry about watches.

01:04:03.752 --> 01:04:05.864
Yeah, I think the other three of us can manage.

01:04:05.984 --> 01:04:08.164
Yeah, I would very much enjoy that.

01:04:08.544 --> 01:07:23.458
Perfect. So, yeah, we. You guys, the night passes uneventfully. The people who do take watches, you do hear plenty of sounds of wildlife. You do hear the howls of wolves and coyotes out in the distance. You hear one wolf off by itself fairly frequently. It's a little louder and a little deeper sounding than the other wolves that you're hearing in the area, but it's a fair bit to the south of you. But other than that, the night does pass pretty uneventfully. You're able to wake up, everybody's lost their exhaustion. That had it. And the rest of you get a long rest and get your spell slots and all that fun stuff for the whole two you spent yesterday. Hey there listener, I'm here with a quick ad break.

You guys are able to, you're headed back, so you're able to break down camp. No problem. Yeah. Elliot, being the ranger that he is, make sure both fires are thoroughly snuffed. I would assume before you leave you're able to do so nice thing having Oak Creek right there is. You do have enough water to drown them thoroughly if burying the dirt around you, all that good stuff, it's pretty soft soil up in that area so you can bury them easily as well.

01:07:23.586 --> 01:08:19.734
I also want to take the time to kind of show everybody like, hey, we don't really need to do this, but I can see possibly in the future I'm going to spend some time and kind of show them how to clean up the fire pit to the point where you can't really tell it was a fire pit. Not that we need to do it, but I could see in the future that we might need to. And I kind of want to show everybody and have everybody practice a little bit. So literally take things like picking up some of your fire rocks and scraping, scraping the black off and then putting them down and then trying to clean it up because I just want everybody to go, yeah, we might have, we might need at some point pass without a trace if we can help it. So I just want you guys to see, so I want everybody to practice a little bit. We're not going to push hardcore. And then I'll kind of go, yeah, you missed a spot there and you missed that. But I just want everybody to start that. We might get point. We might need to do that.

01:08:20.034 --> 01:08:26.484
So James will be probably throw in his two cent too because probably had experience with hide campfires.

01:08:26.524 --> 01:08:48.608
Yeah. Between the two of you, you both teach each other some tricks from different perspectives. Elliot's is definitely far more than nature perspective, but you're able to pitch in a cent or two about how to blend into a more urban environment as well. And yeah, by the time you guys are done, there's not a lot of evidence that anymore anybody was here.

01:08:48.776 --> 01:08:52.400
Hey, look at that. We're just like the elves. The grass ain't growing better, but, hey.

01:08:52.512 --> 01:09:01.528
The grass is kind of bent down and padded down. But you're confident that as this frost melts, the plants will perk back up and they'll be fine.

01:09:01.576 --> 01:09:06.884
It might take a day or two. Good job, everybody. It looks good. Camp looks good.

01:09:07.344 --> 01:09:08.804
Mel, you forgot a pole.

01:09:09.424 --> 01:09:19.892
Oh, hey. Yeah, I need that. Oops. I'm looking at the square spot where my tent was for two days. Is that gonna be a problem, do.

01:09:19.908 --> 01:09:23.428
You think, toward the grass?

01:09:23.556 --> 01:09:29.944
Like in the future if we're trying to look like we weren't there? It's a big square tent thing. A problem?

01:09:30.484 --> 01:09:35.904
It could be. There's nothing we can do about it today, but it's something to be aware of.

01:09:36.724 --> 01:09:38.864
I don't want to sleep outside. It's scary.

01:09:39.743 --> 01:09:42.463
Oh, it's beautiful. You can see the stars and everything.

01:09:42.583 --> 01:09:42.879
Yeah.

01:09:42.911 --> 01:09:45.883
No, and without lights, you see way more stars out here now.

01:09:47.103 --> 01:09:48.199
Soft and squishy.

01:09:48.231 --> 01:09:48.327
Yeah.

01:09:48.335 --> 01:09:54.283
And it's been what, a month? So the skies are clearing up. It's like the nights are getting really gorgeous.

01:09:57.383 --> 01:10:04.219
It won't help your back, but next time you can always just harder packed earth, they'll put it on grass. Your tent.

01:10:04.391 --> 01:10:05.584
Oh, okay.

01:10:07.604 --> 01:11:02.664
Excellent. With that, you guys are able to saddle the horses up, taking the extra care from the things you've learned in the past and speaking with said horses. And you're able to set off back south towards rifle as you're going. The travel's fair, the weather's been nice still this whole time. Really had even so much in clouds. The worst weather is just. It's kind of chilly. But you're heading back down south. You pass random municipal building with a tennis court. You're back on hard on asphalt road again. Traveling south, you're not seeing too much of anything and overly exciting. You get back down to the watering hole that the prison utilized.

01:11:04.324 --> 01:11:08.324
I'm gonna keep my bow out the entire time we're passing remotely close to that prison.

01:11:08.444 --> 01:11:10.464
Are you wanting to look at the prison?

01:11:11.244 --> 01:11:15.628
Not necessarily look at the prison. Just, you know, have my bow out ready just in case.

01:11:15.676 --> 01:11:20.004
I think we should look at. I wanna look at the prison. It unsettles me too.

01:11:20.084 --> 01:11:22.546
I don't. Nothing good can come of this.

01:11:22.660 --> 01:11:25.566
I don't think it's good. And that's why I'm looking 17.

01:11:25.710 --> 01:11:27.430
Anybody else who wants to can. You're all there.

01:11:27.462 --> 01:11:29.554
That is 830 2018.

01:11:30.014 --> 01:12:02.714
All right, all three of you see that. You can't tell if you saw this on the way up. You guys didn't perceive the prison particularly last time. But you do see there's obvious signs of either a break in or out. Lots of broken glass on the. On the main. On one of the bigger buildings. The biggest building there has got very obvious broken glass. There is a door laying next to the hole the door should be on.

01:12:04.894 --> 01:12:11.518
I think. Emery pulls up on her reins and stops her. Whoa, hold on. Look at that. Do you guys see that?

01:12:11.686 --> 01:12:13.074
Yeah, sure.

01:12:13.994 --> 01:12:18.814
El sees that and says, this is why I didn't want to look at it. And keeps going.

01:12:21.314 --> 01:12:28.094
Elliot's gonna look over and he's like, huh, that's interesting. Hey, we gotta get this meat back. We gotta start tanning a hide.

01:12:28.634 --> 01:12:30.426
Ew. That's gonna be crazy.

01:12:30.450 --> 01:12:33.578
Yeah, it's gonna be nasty. I wanna get this job done as quick as I can.

01:12:33.706 --> 01:12:37.362
That's a good point. I just didn't notice that on the way out.

01:12:37.418 --> 01:12:43.444
Hey, look at it this way. If they were locked in, they've broken out. Everybody's not dead. Win win.

01:12:43.524 --> 01:12:45.624
And who breaks into a prison anyway?

01:12:46.044 --> 01:12:50.984
Something that's hungry. I mean, I don't know if normal people would bust a door like that.

01:12:54.164 --> 01:13:02.044
Hey, Jacob, look at that bird over there in the sky. And she pointedly looks at James like, stop with the scary.

01:13:02.204 --> 01:13:07.172
He's right, though. Like someone if. Even if they're just breaking out of prison, they wouldn't destroy it.

01:13:07.188 --> 01:13:10.864
Like, I don't think they were really angry about being in prison.

01:13:11.024 --> 01:13:11.560
I mean.

01:13:11.632 --> 01:13:14.644
Well, yeah, but I'm not gonna hulk out and bust the door down like that.

01:13:15.784 --> 01:13:22.072
And Elliot, she's gonna look and he's gonna go, you know what? I'm not gonna go borrow in trouble. I got enough trouble.

01:13:22.128 --> 01:13:24.880
My own fair.

01:13:24.952 --> 01:13:26.632
I mean, if you guys wanna go, I'll go.

01:13:26.688 --> 01:13:31.684
But I never thought I'd say this. I'm with Elliot on this one. We got enough of our own problems.

01:13:32.504 --> 01:13:43.020
I don't think you're wrong. I just think that that might be something that we might have to deal with either way.

01:13:43.172 --> 01:13:43.476
Yeah.

01:13:43.500 --> 01:13:43.852
Cause I got it.

01:13:43.868 --> 01:13:47.644
The nearest population area is rifle.

01:13:47.724 --> 01:13:49.304
There's no time like tomorrow.

01:13:51.244 --> 01:13:54.404
Hey, I like that. Is that one of them new sayings?

01:13:54.564 --> 01:13:56.264
It just became one.

01:13:57.004 --> 01:13:58.384
What do you think, Olnock?

01:13:59.304 --> 01:13:59.768
I don't know.

01:13:59.776 --> 01:14:00.736
I feel like we should be on.

01:14:00.760 --> 01:14:05.564
Alert something as we continue in the opposite direction.

01:14:06.424 --> 01:14:13.984
My point is, I don't think it's the opposite direction. If something broke out, if someone broke out of there, you're heading to rifle one way or another, right?

01:14:14.024 --> 01:14:18.432
It could be around us. We don't know where it is. Whatever it might be.

01:14:18.568 --> 01:14:24.364
All the more reason why we should keep moving. And maybe we can get to rifle before it does.

01:14:24.884 --> 01:14:25.372
All right.

01:14:25.428 --> 01:14:30.304
And get our bows and then skedaddle. Oh, God, I can't believe I just said skedaddle.

01:14:30.724 --> 01:14:34.148
Oh, look at you, starting to learn some proper English.

01:14:34.236 --> 01:14:35.024
Oh.

01:14:35.924 --> 01:14:36.828
Aw, look at that.

01:14:36.876 --> 01:14:43.092
Oh, that's right, though. Let's, uh, let's be alert. Let's keep our eyes peeled. I don't like this.

01:14:43.228 --> 01:15:28.964
All right, you guys continue on past the prison. As I said last time, the road kind of comes to the north side of the prison, and then it shifts a little bit westward, kind of around the front face of the prison, and it continues along the west side of the prison. So as you. As you head further south, I'm assuming those of you who were interested in prison continue to look at Zen prison. That one building looks like it went through Pelemec. You could see evidence of the other buildings have been opened up. Nowhere near with that level of intensity. You see, you rolled the net 20 or the dirty 20, right?

01:15:29.004 --> 01:15:29.524
Yeah.

01:15:29.644 --> 01:15:32.104
You see a body laying outside.

01:15:33.604 --> 01:15:38.904
Your brain in the horse is like body.

01:15:41.284 --> 01:15:51.844
And the rest of it, once he points it out, you can find it. It is very obviously dead. It is not moving. It does not appear to have been moving.

01:15:52.344 --> 01:16:03.044
Sensing mole's nervousness, I think your horse discovers a trot. I don't know how to make it stop, and I don't think I want to. Let's go.

01:16:03.584 --> 01:16:09.264
But that's all you see. There is one building wrecked. There's a couple doors open. There is a body in the field.

01:16:11.124 --> 01:16:16.464
I feel like now might be a good time to see what maybe killed it. Maybe it was the same that killed Turkey.

01:16:17.404 --> 01:16:33.184
Elliot's gonna reign to a stop, and he's gonna say, if you guys want to go check it out, we can. But the question I've got, if it is a body, and it looks like it, there's nothing we can do about it. Number two, are we gonna gain anything by going over there?

01:16:33.744 --> 01:16:40.208
Yeah, we can learn what killed it. Maybe he's got the same claw marks. It could have been that guy that we saw before.

01:16:40.376 --> 01:16:42.040
Why do we want to know?

01:16:42.192 --> 01:16:51.364
I mean, Mike says if you guys want help, we'll go over there, but I'm curious. Whatever the group decides, I'll go with.

01:16:53.064 --> 01:17:18.224
Where this building is situated. Again, this is a minimum security. There is no fence. You can ride directly to the body. You don't have to go through a main entrance and tour this campus to get there. The building that it's outside of is one of the three t shaped buildings I described earlier. And it is kind of standing up by itself. And it's maybe a five minute right from the road. It's not a hard to get to place.

01:17:18.724 --> 01:17:21.064
See, look at that. You don't even have to get off the horse.

01:17:22.044 --> 01:17:29.610
I'm like 50 yards away. I haven't realized you guys have stopped yet. When I do, I cuss. God damn it.

01:17:29.642 --> 01:17:30.314
I'm gonna whisper.

01:17:30.354 --> 01:17:32.162
There's a kid on the back of your horse.

01:17:32.258 --> 01:17:34.658
Hey, Mal, we're gonna go check this out.

01:17:34.786 --> 01:17:40.054
Of course we are. And then I figure out how to turn the horse around.

01:17:40.554 --> 01:17:42.162
You do have the boy on your horse?

01:17:42.218 --> 01:17:47.338
I do have the boy on my horse. So I'm okay hanging back a bit, but I. Not too far back.

01:17:47.506 --> 01:17:51.610
When you come back, he says, do you want me to take Jacob while you get your horse under control?

01:17:51.722 --> 01:17:59.374
I'm good. I'm good. I got it. I got it turned around. Frankly, I was good with the trot, but it's okay.

01:18:00.594 --> 01:18:26.714
All right. As you guys progress towards the body, you do notice that none of your horses are particularly stoked. They're not, you know, freaking out. But you are having to persuade them in that direction. But you're able to get up to the body. What you see is that this body has been absolutely destroyed. You can see that for free.

01:18:27.574 --> 01:18:30.046
We kept Jacob, like, far enough back.

01:18:30.230 --> 01:18:41.566
I'm gonna say, what is a horse's rate of movement? I think it's 40 foot, around 40ft. So I'm gonna stay the equivalent of one round behind them.

01:18:41.670 --> 01:18:42.270
Okay.

01:18:42.382 --> 01:18:45.274
I was gonna say I would be surprised if Mel got close.

01:18:45.374 --> 01:18:50.978
Yeah, I'm gonna stay 40ft back. So we probably can't really see, except that it's a dead body from there, I would say.

01:18:50.986 --> 01:19:03.130
So is it. Is it like, werewolf destroyed? Like, claw marks and all that? Or is it like zombie apocalypse destroyed where it's like, go to roll investigation. Okay.

01:19:03.202 --> 01:19:05.178
Can I assist? Because I am curious as well.

01:19:05.226 --> 01:19:06.306
How are you assisting her?

01:19:06.330 --> 01:19:09.418
Look, you should just also look poking it.

01:19:09.466 --> 01:19:12.726
Yeah, that's true. I will also do an investigation check.

01:19:12.790 --> 01:19:14.974
And anybody else who went up there can, if they would like to.

01:19:15.054 --> 01:19:16.874
Oh, I got a four.

01:19:17.734 --> 01:19:19.526
Can I put on some, like, that.

01:19:19.590 --> 01:19:25.674
Corpse that I have a five. Okay. The two of you who rolled poorly, see that this corpse is.

01:19:27.774 --> 01:19:28.950
I got a 19.

01:19:29.142 --> 01:19:40.134
You see all of the same markings you saw for that turkey? The meat is still there. It is. The gut has been completely ripped open. The liver is missing.

01:19:41.634 --> 01:19:44.722
So I don't even have to, like, actually, like, peek, you know, poke and.

01:19:44.738 --> 01:19:45.850
Prod to look for.

01:19:46.002 --> 01:19:46.458
Okay.

01:19:46.506 --> 01:19:58.346
Yeah, you can see there's a big old hole in the chest area that has a chunk missing out of it. You presume to be the heart. You see the throat's been ripped open.

01:19:58.530 --> 01:20:02.494
Well, it certainly wasn't done by a surgeon, but all the organs are missing. Just like turkeys.

01:20:03.574 --> 01:20:04.918
I don't like this at all.

01:20:05.006 --> 01:20:11.114
Is this, like a guard uniform? An inmate uniform?

01:20:11.574 --> 01:20:12.030
Inmate.

01:20:12.062 --> 01:20:12.926
This one didn't inmate this.

01:20:12.990 --> 01:20:14.514
Does he have his brain?

01:20:15.734 --> 01:20:23.486
Yeah, the head's more or less intact. Okay, so the head's been definitely crushed, but it wasn't lobotomied.

01:20:23.590 --> 01:20:26.526
Okay, lean rule out.

01:20:26.550 --> 01:20:30.562
Zombies didn't go after the brain.

01:20:30.698 --> 01:20:31.494
I don't.

01:20:32.194 --> 01:20:33.494
Zombies. Doesn't happen.

01:20:34.674 --> 01:20:37.970
Have you not watched any zombie media ever?

01:20:38.122 --> 01:20:43.854
After, like, five minutes. Melz, can we go? Like, how, please?

01:20:44.314 --> 01:20:51.546
Can he tell how fresh? I can't tell. Can James tell how fresh it looks? Fresher than the turkeys.

01:20:51.610 --> 01:20:54.934
Fresher than the turkeys. The blood has not been completely absorbed in the ground.

01:20:55.014 --> 01:20:57.474
So this happened, like, ten relatively recently.

01:20:57.974 --> 01:21:00.718
Recently. You would. You would guess.

01:21:00.846 --> 01:21:01.334
I mean, you're.

01:21:01.374 --> 01:21:05.590
You're not a crime scene inspector. Yeah, right. Not a forensic scientist.

01:21:05.622 --> 01:21:06.814
I'm the dude doing the crimes.

01:21:06.854 --> 01:21:19.578
You see, not usually. This crime, you're able to make with that good of a roll. You're able to make a ballpark guess that maybe with how cool it is, that's helped preserve it a bit at night, but you're guessing last 24 to 36 hours.

01:21:19.626 --> 01:21:28.770
Okay, with the. The amount of blood that this guy lost, are there, like, bloody footprints leading away from this dude? Are there tracks of any sort leading away from him?

01:21:28.922 --> 01:21:36.682
Uh, let's have you roll afresh. Either nature or investigation. Okey dokey. This is a specifically different thing you're looking for now.

01:21:36.778 --> 01:21:37.314
Investigation.

01:21:37.354 --> 01:21:41.214
And you guys, if you would like to, can assist or also roll.

01:21:41.594 --> 01:21:42.562
There's a 16.

01:21:42.698 --> 01:21:44.066
None of my dice are rolling.

01:21:44.130 --> 01:21:44.558
Shit.

01:21:44.626 --> 01:21:47.054
I rolled a five on that 115.

01:21:47.214 --> 01:21:57.514
Okay, the two of you are able. You in particular, actually, because I don't think you ever found it. See? The same. Not a bear, not a wolf paw. Oh, yeah.

01:21:59.774 --> 01:22:00.342
Hey, guys.

01:22:00.398 --> 01:22:01.714
Some weird tracks.

01:22:02.734 --> 01:22:04.334
That's the same tracks as that last.

01:22:04.374 --> 01:22:05.794
Thing that we were looking for.

01:22:07.214 --> 01:22:08.662
You think Griff did this?

01:22:08.798 --> 01:22:12.182
Possibility. Which direction are there tracks heading? Are they heading towards the rifle.

01:22:12.238 --> 01:22:16.414
Yes, we did send them off towards town.

01:22:16.574 --> 01:22:32.950
One thing worth noting, because these are fresher track than what you've seen. The distance between strides is fairly impressive, indicating either this thing was gigantic or it was booking. Shit. Oh, my God.

01:22:32.982 --> 01:22:33.994
He's Bigfoot.

01:22:35.374 --> 01:22:36.162
Big legs.

01:22:36.278 --> 01:22:45.938
Bigfoot tracks look like human tracks. That's an entirely different. I think maybe we should get our hustle on.

01:22:46.026 --> 01:22:47.854
Yeah, let's pick up the pace. Yeah.

01:22:48.714 --> 01:22:49.774
Oh, God.

01:22:50.714 --> 01:22:59.654
I'm not comforted by knowing more. But we know more. That's what I'll say about that.

01:23:01.774 --> 01:23:13.994
Mel knows nothing. She was 40ft away on the back of a horse doing. Trying to be as perceptive as possible, which is not easy for her.

01:23:14.294 --> 01:23:26.606
So to keep it, like, attempt to keep a PG for Jacob, I'm just gonna say, like, he's like, the turkeys. The turkeys that we found. And there's tracks heading the same way we are, so we got a boogie.

01:23:26.710 --> 01:23:27.154
Yeah, whatever.

01:23:27.174 --> 01:23:30.694
Whatever it is, it's going pretty fast. It looks like.

01:23:31.674 --> 01:23:37.574
Oh, and it looks like the tracks that we found around camp the other day.

01:23:37.954 --> 01:23:39.466
We found tracks around camp?

01:23:39.530 --> 01:23:39.682
Yeah.

01:23:39.698 --> 01:23:42.618
Olnack apparently found tracks. I'm just as surprised as you are.

01:23:42.706 --> 01:23:44.042
That's news to me.

01:23:44.178 --> 01:23:44.450
Right?

01:23:44.482 --> 01:23:45.906
I didn't tell anybody.

01:23:45.970 --> 01:23:47.730
Oh, my gosh. Yeah.

01:23:47.802 --> 01:23:49.610
Wait, didn't you tell us?

01:23:49.722 --> 01:23:51.506
No, no, somebody else.

01:23:51.570 --> 01:23:54.526
Soundtracks forgot to tell anyone.

01:23:54.630 --> 01:23:56.358
I thought you talked to Elliot about it.

01:23:56.446 --> 01:23:58.674
No, I didn't say shit to nobody.

01:23:59.734 --> 01:24:05.246
He rolled an intelligence or wisdom check or whatever it was, to see if he remembered and he didn't have to remember.

01:24:05.270 --> 01:24:05.654
I did not.

01:24:05.694 --> 01:24:06.674
And he did not.

01:24:07.094 --> 01:24:08.142
I didn't tell anyone.

01:24:08.238 --> 01:24:09.114
That's right.

01:24:10.174 --> 01:24:16.478
So he had that conversation with you two, and neither of you know what the fuck he's talking about? Someone else found those tracks.

01:24:16.526 --> 01:24:20.670
He apparently saw tracks outside of two days ago and didn't tell us.

01:24:20.742 --> 01:24:25.590
Elliot's got to kind of look at him in grimace and consternation and just kind of shake his head.

01:24:25.662 --> 01:24:29.514
I meant to tell someone and it didn't happen.

01:24:30.214 --> 01:24:35.074
For the record, I don't remember who it was. But one of the four of you also saw those tracks independently.

01:24:35.374 --> 01:24:36.846
I think it was James.

01:24:36.990 --> 01:24:37.654
Okay.

01:24:37.774 --> 01:24:40.038
Who also heard. Neglected to tell anybody.

01:24:40.126 --> 01:24:43.678
If it was James, then those tracks indeed look very familiar to you as well.

01:24:43.766 --> 01:24:44.114
Cool.

01:24:44.174 --> 01:24:45.186
I'm not going to tell the group that.

01:24:45.210 --> 01:24:46.654
I also saw some trucks.

01:24:48.794 --> 01:24:54.334
Mel's wavering between terror and anger, and so she's just sort of vibrating with a.

01:24:55.834 --> 01:24:57.634
Are you trying to be quiet, too?

01:24:57.754 --> 01:25:04.418
Yes. Yes, I am. I am trying so hard to be quiet. Right now you look like my mom.

01:25:04.466 --> 01:25:06.494
Did after I brought my report card home.

01:25:08.914 --> 01:25:11.150
I think Bell's about to unlock some new magic.

01:25:11.222 --> 01:25:13.034
I don't know if it's a new thing or not.

01:25:14.654 --> 01:25:16.174
All right, well, anything else you want.

01:25:16.174 --> 01:25:16.902
To do on prison grounds?

01:25:16.918 --> 01:25:17.958
Are we headed south?

01:25:18.126 --> 01:25:21.794
We're headed south faster than before.

01:25:22.734 --> 01:25:25.874
Why are we moving faster? It's not like this is gonna help.

01:25:27.694 --> 01:25:28.862
All right, so you guys continue.

01:25:28.918 --> 01:25:32.318
Maybe we can get to the bower before he dies a horrible, painful death.

01:25:32.406 --> 01:25:34.910
Well, yeah, that's the purpose of going faster.

01:25:34.982 --> 01:25:38.454
Yeah, right. As long as we can agree on our goal.

01:25:41.514 --> 01:26:11.894
So you guys pick up the pace a little bit. You know, it's a long enough ride. You're not gonna, like, gallop there. Your horses can't do that, but you can less dilly dally, more intentionally travel there. And as you travel the rest of the trip, it's still, it's a pretty, pretty area. I did remember to look at the map instead. And the order of events, leaving the prison goes to the lake next, where again you see people fishing. It looks pretty unbothered right now.

01:26:12.014 --> 01:26:13.950
They all have all their organs.

01:26:14.142 --> 01:26:14.638
They.

01:26:14.726 --> 01:26:18.910
You would assume so, considering they're peacefully fishing generally.

01:26:18.942 --> 01:26:22.358
None of them are wearing medical bracelets. They're all more or less upright.

01:26:22.446 --> 01:26:26.470
Are we gonna pass pretty close to anybody on the lake?

01:26:26.622 --> 01:26:29.082
If you would like to, we can say yes.

01:26:29.138 --> 01:26:30.666
It's not way far out of the way.

01:26:30.690 --> 01:26:33.294
I mean the road goes right next to the car.

01:26:33.794 --> 01:27:14.992
I want to, when we get up to one, preferably a group, but at least one. And I want to swing over and let them know that to keep on alert. We've seen some tracks. I don't know if there's a pack of wolves or if there's a bear running around, but you and anybody that you see, just keep your eyes open and just be aware that something's hungry out there. So we're headed into town. But you guys, if you're staying out here, just share it. Be on alert.

01:27:15.128 --> 01:27:20.660
And I would like to add to that and ask them if they've seen the gentleman with like a very ragged shirt.

01:27:20.812 --> 01:27:21.356
Closed.

01:27:21.420 --> 01:27:24.424
Describe the not werewolf we've seen.

01:27:24.764 --> 01:27:44.384
Well, first off, thank you Mister warnings. Greatly appreciated. We haven't had many folks come from up that way. Not a whole hell of a lot out there, so appreciate that. Why? What? I mean, there's cats and wolves all over this area. What's got you particularly concerned there, sir?

01:27:45.064 --> 01:27:50.656
Don't know. There looks like there's been some trouble up at the prison. There so just unusual.

01:27:50.800 --> 01:27:51.632
Oof.

01:27:51.808 --> 01:28:03.844
So just wanted. Just wanted people to know. It's not like you can listen to the radio and get it out. So we gotta kind of just share information. We're coming from that way, headed this way. That's what we saw.

01:28:04.184 --> 01:28:28.220
So we appreciate the warning there, sir. And it's for you there. Yeah, I think I remember seeing somebody match that description coming through. I think it was a fair bit earlier this morning. You look to be, you know, you're describing a feller. I'm assuming you describe the way, the same way I described him to you last time.

01:28:28.292 --> 01:28:28.900
Yeah.

01:28:29.052 --> 01:28:59.724
Kind of emaciated and tired. Yeah, that'd be the one. Big difference is, I mean, his clothes were beat, all the shit. Looks like you could have bought a new pair of shoes a while ago. But he looked healthy as a horse, walking along pretty confidently. I didn't notice anything too awful sickly about the boy. I actually surprised me because, again, he's the only other guy I've seen come up from that way. He looked fine. Looked like he'd been doing pretty good up there.

01:29:01.664 --> 01:29:07.530
He's been quitting so far. Sorry. An acquaintance of ours trying to keep track of him.

01:29:07.602 --> 01:29:13.458
Oh, it looks like your friend fared better up there than a lot of folks do in town. Well, good clothes.

01:29:13.586 --> 01:29:15.774
We appreciate that. Info.

01:29:16.114 --> 01:29:17.034
Unsettled.

01:29:17.154 --> 01:29:20.778
Absolutely. You have yourself a good rest of your day. Good luck with your fishing.

01:29:20.906 --> 01:29:22.162
Like a last puppy.

01:29:22.258 --> 01:29:27.694
Glad to see you ain't casting a line in here. This year's our fishing spot. Been fishing here for 43 years.

01:29:28.154 --> 01:29:32.214
All right, good luck. I never caught shit out of that lake. I hope you do better than I did.

01:29:32.824 --> 01:29:40.088
I caught a whopper last year. I'm hoping to. He had to be about 7ft long. Big old pike monster.

01:29:40.136 --> 01:29:40.896
It's like a whopper.

01:29:40.920 --> 01:29:46.004
I hate to interrupt with what is the riveting fishing story, but we gotta head on.

01:29:46.304 --> 01:29:47.800
Well, you have a good day.

01:29:47.992 --> 01:29:49.004
You as well.

01:29:49.384 --> 01:30:09.304
Get my virtual hat. You continue on south after the lake. Headed back towards rifle is when you encounter the golf course. It would have come before the lake on your trip up. And again, pretty similar scene there. You see golfers golfing.

01:30:10.004 --> 01:30:11.624
Nothing stops those people.

01:30:12.004 --> 01:30:15.024
You see lightning, you'll get their attention.

01:30:17.764 --> 01:30:42.360
You see another, maybe the same, maybe a different young man. He's out trimming whole a different hole this time, out there trimming the green. And as you continue forward, you end up by the bowling alley and it spits you right back out into downtown rifle. And you're headed straight back to Pate. Pete. Pete. Not Pat.

01:30:42.432 --> 01:30:43.288
Pete Rodriguez.

01:30:43.336 --> 01:30:51.396
Pete's place. So you're able to get there no problem. Town looks. Town looks as good as it did when you left it.

01:30:51.500 --> 01:30:58.172
Okay, we get to the driveway. I'm gonna car down the driveway. Pete, it's out of brandy bank. We're coming up.

01:30:58.268 --> 01:31:11.412
Don't shoot. A couple minutes later, Pete opens up the door, comes out to you like, ah, you guys made it. You came back. It looks like you had a pretty darn successful trip there.

01:31:11.548 --> 01:31:12.824
That went pretty good.

01:31:16.224 --> 01:31:23.764
Martin's a fickle game on a good day. And you folks ain't exactly from around here, so it was a gamble as to whether you were gonna come back.

01:31:24.384 --> 01:31:24.816
Okay.

01:31:24.840 --> 01:31:25.160
Yeah. Fair.

01:31:25.192 --> 01:31:36.920
Oh, yeah. We need those bows. We definitely do. All right, well, here's your feathers. And we're gonna get started out here in the yard on this hide.

01:31:37.072 --> 01:31:50.294
Perfect. If you don't mind asking you a favor, if you wouldn't mind doing that on the other side of the fence, at least, so the scent's as far from the house as possible. I've got a rack back there. That's where I do my tannin.

01:31:50.414 --> 01:31:57.310
Oh, you do have a rack. Oh, that'll make a lotta. I need your scrapers. I don't have. I did not have hide scrapers. Can I borrow yours?

01:31:57.422 --> 01:32:05.654
Absolutely. I got some. I can even show you how to make some out of bone for future, if you want. Bone scrapers are still the best tannin scrapers they got.

01:32:05.814 --> 01:32:08.934
Oh, I'm gonna call bullshit. I know about obsidian's better.

01:32:09.394 --> 01:32:11.214
Well, that may be.

01:32:11.554 --> 01:32:12.514
They're just hard to find.

01:32:12.554 --> 01:32:17.734
Big enough, but, yeah, if he goes inside, he grabs his scraper springs.

01:32:18.394 --> 01:32:20.814
Oh, thank God. This is so hard to do with a knife.

01:32:22.714 --> 01:32:32.814
And. Yeah. So you go on the other side of the fence. You see, he's got himself his tanner rack set up. It's decent. It's not. It's not like the cadillac. A tannerx, but it'll get the job done.

01:32:33.234 --> 01:32:34.314
It's a hoop. It worked.

01:32:34.354 --> 01:32:34.974
Yep.

01:32:36.034 --> 01:32:57.338
So. Thank you. So I'll have. All right. And I'm gonna take Jacob especially. But I'm gonna show everybody. We're gonna get the hide unrolled out. I'm gonna show him how to lace it up on the rack. We're gonna get the fire going. Cause we gotta start making the tanning solution, and we're gonna start boiling the brains and we're gonna start.

01:32:57.386 --> 01:32:58.074
Okay. That's what we're gonna do.

01:32:58.074 --> 01:33:32.104
Yep. Like, yeah, I don't have tanninsaults. I don't. I don't know if he does, but this is the way they used to do it. It smells worse, but it works. And I'll get that fire. Going to get that, and then I'm going to just take everybody and I'm going to show them. Okay. See all this on the inside? We're scraping this off, but we don't want to scrape through the leather. We're not trying to thin it. It's not hard to do. It's just smelly and nasty and awful, and it just takes a long time. So I start. I show Asia and everybody how to do it. And then, like, just take turns when your arms are too tired, pass it to the next guy, and we'll get this done quicker.

01:33:34.124 --> 01:33:37.196
Mel pressed today to taste some more peppermint scarves.

01:33:37.380 --> 01:33:40.028
Hey, give me one of them damn scarves. This is nasty.

01:33:40.116 --> 01:33:40.944
No problem.

01:33:42.244 --> 01:33:50.184
It does. It smells way worse. Way worse. You're trying to use mage hand. It's going to have an arcana roll.

01:33:50.644 --> 01:33:54.220
If you poke them home as high, very delicately attempt.

01:33:54.292 --> 01:33:58.420
Because I understand after Elliot told me that it's very, very delicate.

01:33:58.492 --> 01:34:02.148
I don't know if ten pounds of pressure will do much of anything, honestly.

01:34:02.316 --> 01:34:02.748
Check it.

01:34:02.756 --> 01:34:04.544
That's a natural one.

01:34:05.964 --> 01:34:09.700
Yeah. You tear a good spot, this high elf.

01:34:09.732 --> 01:34:10.764
Okay, well, my bad.

01:34:10.804 --> 01:34:11.196
My bad.

01:34:11.260 --> 01:34:17.148
God damn it. Quit fucking around. I'm not going back up here to get another elk.

01:34:17.276 --> 01:34:24.008
Well, I mean, he really only needed it for the hand pieces, right? I mean, we don't need that much elk, right?

01:34:24.176 --> 01:34:26.204
Maybe it's the principle of it.

01:34:26.784 --> 01:34:28.924
And you do know this part is payment.

01:34:29.224 --> 01:34:33.704
Would you. Would you like a prestidigitated scarf so you can touch it?

01:34:33.744 --> 01:34:33.968
Yes.

01:34:34.016 --> 01:34:37.184
Hey, wait. Somebody said they could fix the elves.

01:34:37.224 --> 01:34:39.644
Didn'T they fix something right? Can we mend it?

01:34:40.304 --> 01:34:42.080
I can try mending on it.

01:34:42.152 --> 01:34:44.204
See if you can fix that hole.

01:34:44.964 --> 01:34:47.348
Uh, just for fun. Rolling Arcana.

01:34:47.436 --> 01:34:50.124
Okay, I'm gonna try, like, holding the pieces together to.

01:34:50.204 --> 01:34:54.812
You know, my Arcana is not good, and I've been rolling like trash.

01:34:54.988 --> 01:34:58.744
Well, we're helping. He's holding it together to help her.

01:35:00.604 --> 01:35:02.140
We need all the help we can get.

01:35:02.212 --> 01:35:03.824
There's a nat 20 in the.

01:35:06.564 --> 01:35:09.464
You undo the damage his net one did.

01:35:12.144 --> 01:35:15.296
Okay, thanks. Now quit. Just do it the way I showed.

01:35:15.320 --> 01:35:15.936
You to do it.

01:35:15.960 --> 01:35:17.604
The Mae chan's gonna hand me the.

01:35:21.584 --> 01:35:25.800
Perfect. If there's not anything else in particular you wanna do today that can kill.

01:35:25.832 --> 01:35:29.120
Your day, I'm gonna take a bath at the end of the day.

01:35:29.192 --> 01:35:29.832
Oh, absolutely.

01:35:29.888 --> 01:35:30.684
Absolutely.

01:35:31.744 --> 01:35:38.582
I also think that we should set watches even though we're in theory in town and it quote unquote safe place.

01:35:38.718 --> 01:35:59.710
Yeah, yeah. And I definitely want to spend this evening. I mean, we gotta get things started. When Pete comes out, I definitely wanna give him a pretty in depth what we saw. We wanna tell him about Griff, tell him what we suspect and that, hey, we need. You need to keep an eye. Anybody that you know, talk to them.

01:35:59.862 --> 01:36:01.238
Gonna think we're crazy.

01:36:01.326 --> 01:36:24.032
Just keep an eye about. Yeah, I don't know if I'm gonna try to tell him about thinking he's a werewolf, but we ran into a weird guy and there's something bad happened at the. Something bad happened at the jail or prison. And just keep your eye open because we don't know what's going on. But we have suspicions, but no proof on anything.

01:36:24.128 --> 01:36:37.184
We'll play that conversation through then. So Pete comes out, we'll say after you guys fed your supper, you ate, got a campfire going, and you're kind of just doing the end of the night. The hide's. You're pretty much done with the hide.

01:36:37.604 --> 01:36:39.184
It's got a cure, but.

01:36:39.644 --> 01:37:38.338
So you can't even really see well enough to do anything anyway. If you tried, you risk damage. It's a pretty adequately done job considering five, six or four fifths of ya have never done it before. It's still a pretty, pretty adequate job. It's not gonna make the best coat you've ever worn or anything, but it's a solid leather. Once it finishes curing, you're confident that it'll be adequate payment for the quality of bows, you know, this man could produce. And so he comes out, brings a bottle out with him, sits down and like. Well, after that long out there in the cold, I'm sure you guys won't mind a little bit of whiskey to warm your cockles back up. Oh, that'd be much like a little Jim bean. You know, the good stuff here. Or Johnny Walker. That's what he drinks. He's a Johnny Walker.

01:37:38.426 --> 01:37:40.642
Basic Jim beams, like the cheap one.

01:37:40.698 --> 01:37:42.334
Jim Beam's terrible.

01:37:43.074 --> 01:37:45.334
I'm not picky.

01:37:46.474 --> 01:37:47.194
It's not.

01:37:47.274 --> 01:37:50.794
I saved the good stuff for when my friends come around. So here's the good stuff.

01:37:51.934 --> 01:37:53.158
Hell, yeah.

01:37:53.326 --> 01:37:53.718
Thanks.

01:37:53.766 --> 01:37:57.074
The jacks, the daily drinking. This is the fancy stuff.

01:37:58.774 --> 01:38:03.914
I warmed the belly anyway. I'll take a. I'll take a healthy swig and then pass it.

01:38:05.334 --> 01:38:10.854
So the hunting good up in that area still pretty fair.

01:38:10.974 --> 01:38:21.850
Pretty fair. I'll tell for. Yeah, I'll tell him where we were and what we got. Things that we saw that, you know, to help him if he were to go again, kind of share the info that we discovered.

01:38:22.002 --> 01:38:46.206
Ah, perfect. I always figure he used to be the meanest codger that owned that chunk of land with them corrals on it. So you never actually got to set up camp there. He was a mean old codger. All he did, I swear, all he did is ride around on his atv looking for people on his property. I don't think he ever actually ranched anything up there, but, ah. So I never actually got a hunt exactly that area. But I always, always saw a healthy head of. Healthy head of Elk.

01:38:46.270 --> 01:38:48.354
His name wasn't Griff, was it?

01:38:48.654 --> 01:38:54.438
No. No, it wasn't Griff. Okay, Frank. Frank Elhart.

01:38:54.606 --> 01:38:55.822
Griff was young.

01:38:55.998 --> 01:38:59.006
Made old cod. You got it. Swear he was old when I was a kid.

01:38:59.110 --> 01:38:59.950
Did he have a.

01:39:00.022 --> 01:39:03.206
Did he have a grandson named Chris, by chance?

01:39:03.390 --> 01:39:13.594
I can't say that I got too far familiar with the man. He wasn't. He didn't come to town often. Uh, and when he did, he again. He wasn't exactly anybody's best buddy here.

01:39:15.894 --> 01:39:18.526
We didn't see any. Any sign of him at all.

01:39:18.670 --> 01:39:28.278
Yeah, without old shit, he may well be Dave. Ah. Would I be surprised if that old fart had a pacemaker. Oh.

01:39:28.366 --> 01:39:29.166
Oh, God.

01:39:29.270 --> 01:39:29.830
Oh, God.

01:39:29.862 --> 01:39:34.044
I've never. Oh, lord, that's hard. Horrible.

01:39:36.504 --> 01:39:39.200
All of us sitting. Have an existential nurse.

01:39:39.352 --> 01:39:42.484
All of us are going, grandma.

01:39:44.024 --> 01:39:47.204
They got Pastor Dan down at the local congregation.

01:39:48.504 --> 01:39:49.224
Shit.

01:39:49.344 --> 01:39:57.672
That's what did him in. Although everybody's frankly amazed it wasn't the sheer volume of bacon that man ate every day. I guess at a roundabout way, it's.

01:39:57.728 --> 01:39:59.928
I was gonna say. I mean, I think that's.

01:40:00.016 --> 01:40:08.632
I mean, that did get. Lend itself to the pacemaker. See, Jacob, this is why it's very important to have balanced meals. Lots of intervals and kale chips.

01:40:08.728 --> 01:40:12.384
But you lost him on the left and doing your cardio, I guess, and.

01:40:12.424 --> 01:40:17.284
That was the intervals. How's Jacob doing after yesterday?

01:40:17.744 --> 01:40:19.520
And then riding on a little horse.

01:40:19.592 --> 01:40:24.472
Oh, God, that's. He's poor. His legs are hurting, that's for sure.

01:40:24.528 --> 01:40:26.530
Yeah, I bet that poor kid's a little slow.

01:40:26.672 --> 01:40:30.486
He's just laying on the ground with his legs splayed. Oh, yeah.

01:40:30.510 --> 01:40:33.478
He cracked out the moment that the tent was put back up.

01:40:33.526 --> 01:40:38.354
I feel like that might be the quietest I've ever seen him, and he's just sprawled out in the backyard.

01:40:39.774 --> 01:40:41.686
We gotta find this kid some comic books.

01:40:41.710 --> 01:40:43.510
Or something, right?

01:40:43.702 --> 01:40:46.554
Yeah, the boredest. Boredest seven year old.

01:40:46.974 --> 01:40:49.554
We don't do a good job of entertaining him.

01:40:50.614 --> 01:40:52.234
Hey, sports are fun.

01:40:53.584 --> 01:40:54.324
Sure.

01:40:55.944 --> 01:40:57.960
I bought a karate last week.

01:40:58.032 --> 01:40:59.404
The karate's fun.

01:41:01.384 --> 01:41:04.032
Hey, Jacob, do you want to do some karate tonight?

01:41:04.128 --> 01:41:04.840
No.

01:41:05.032 --> 01:41:06.004
Okay.

01:41:06.424 --> 01:41:09.056
I should maybe coerce him into some stretching.

01:41:09.160 --> 01:41:14.120
We'll consider this your rest day. But tomorrow morning it's yoga with me bright and early.

01:41:14.272 --> 01:41:19.664
My rest day was riding a horse all day and scraping deer guts off a blanket.

01:41:20.204 --> 01:41:29.084
I hear tell this is what the country life is like. I don't know. It sucks. I'm not gonna lie, Jacob being the country life sucks.

01:41:29.204 --> 01:41:29.460
Yeah.

01:41:29.492 --> 01:41:31.624
Elliot, what was your childhood like?

01:41:33.844 --> 01:41:35.164
I was digging in the dirt.

01:41:35.204 --> 01:41:36.424
I was a farmer.

01:41:36.764 --> 01:41:41.308
So you didn't do yoga and karate and riding a horse? Disemboweling things?

01:41:41.396 --> 01:41:45.004
No. Well, no, we. We butchered a lot of chickens. Yeah.

01:41:47.784 --> 01:41:49.136
We need to find this kid.

01:41:49.280 --> 01:41:51.244
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

01:41:51.744 --> 01:41:58.604
I can just see it now as we're traveling across the mountains. There's Jacob on the back of the horse with a comic book stuck to Mel's back.

01:41:59.744 --> 01:42:01.128
Oh, we found some tape.

01:42:01.256 --> 01:42:03.284
Yeah, just tape to Mel's back.

01:42:06.984 --> 01:42:09.268
Pete, how's those bows coming along?

01:42:09.416 --> 01:42:20.944
We're good. I got them pretty well. Pretty well shaped. Shaped out. Got them doing the thing now.

01:42:21.804 --> 01:42:22.636
Excellent.

01:42:22.780 --> 01:42:24.904
That has to happen to them.

01:42:25.484 --> 01:42:30.580
I think that height will turn out okay. It's not. I wouldn't go trying to make a suit out of it.

01:42:30.652 --> 01:42:39.952
It smells about right, unfortunately. Oh, God. Thank you again for doing it on the other side of the fence. At least the Mississippi got it. I ain't got to hear her complaining about it all day.

01:42:40.008 --> 01:42:46.256
I don't blame you. Yeah. Oh, God. The old ways work, but, yeah, there's.

01:42:46.280 --> 01:43:02.864
A reason we've moved on from a lot of them. Tell you what I do miss. Cutting them down with something other than just a file. And other things that I use today to shape them out. Um, the coop and saw.

01:43:03.844 --> 01:43:05.908
You didn't tell me your band saw went down.

01:43:05.996 --> 01:43:12.668
Yeah, it's out. Yeah. Miss that thing? I didn't think I was gonna mess with how often you break blades on those suckers, but, man. Yeah.

01:43:12.716 --> 01:43:18.584
Got one hand tools from here on out, how maybe we can fix this problem.

01:43:19.924 --> 01:43:21.236
Hand sanding.

01:43:21.380 --> 01:43:34.590
Um, in your experience traveling out among these mountains, did you ever see any weird, like, cat, dog, bear claws? Don't look at me. I didn't see them. Ask them.

01:43:34.702 --> 01:43:45.034
I've seen each of them individually. I've not seen a cat, bear, dog. I think there was a stupid show my kids watched once a week.

01:43:45.854 --> 01:43:49.354
I'll describe the tracks and the claw marks as best I can.

01:43:51.134 --> 01:43:54.888
Are those like cougar tracks? Sorry, mountain lion.

01:43:55.056 --> 01:44:26.980
That ain't cougar. Cougar don't do that to an animal. Humans, that's a different word for cougar. I know they still don't do that. Nor do mountain lions, for that matter. Also cougars. Black bears don't tend to leave a whole lot of beat behind after they make it kill. Most of your. Most of your predatory animals, if they're gonna go through the effort of killing something, they're gonna eat it. They're usually living one meal to the.

01:44:27.012 --> 01:44:32.260
Next, or they'll drag them off and stash them and come back to the kill tones.

01:44:32.412 --> 01:44:43.744
Gone. I've never met one with a culinary preference, period, let alone only for organs. They're gonna make a kill. They're gonna make a kill, and they're gonna get there.

01:44:44.904 --> 01:44:47.288
Oh, we got a new predator in town.

01:44:47.376 --> 01:44:49.444
Yeah, these are strange times, man.

01:44:52.424 --> 01:44:56.444
You say you saw it at the prison.

01:44:56.904 --> 01:45:02.204
We saw what was left of an inmate that had his internal organs removed.

01:45:03.464 --> 01:45:04.804
Jacob, go to bed.

01:45:05.464 --> 01:45:06.964
Oh, he's out. Oh, yeah.

01:45:08.944 --> 01:45:11.404
I say, Jacob, go to bed. What you hear is.

01:45:13.114 --> 01:45:15.914
He'S asleep next to you. He just laid out, like splayed.

01:45:15.954 --> 01:45:16.354
He's dead.

01:45:16.394 --> 01:45:17.010
Okay.

01:45:17.162 --> 01:45:26.938
The only bite marks in the meat, I guess you can call it, was just to get it out of the way, to get the organs. There's a gigantic hole in his chest with heart.

01:45:26.986 --> 01:45:39.394
Was that ain't. That ain't. That ain't a critter I ever heard of. I've heard stories of that back from, you know, the books I used to read with when I was a younger, younger man.

01:45:40.654 --> 01:45:42.034
You remember the story?

01:45:42.974 --> 01:45:49.514
I do, but I don't really see much how it could possibly pertain to anything of substance.

01:45:50.254 --> 01:45:51.438
Was it werewolves?

01:45:51.606 --> 01:47:15.294
Yeah, it was a wolf man from old Europe. There's tales of, they called it a curse. You get, uh, again, this is all obviously fake nonsense. You guys are look like you're taking this serious, but, uh, we're just rattled. Yeah, we've seen some shit. The legend story, there's a couple different ways you could become a werewolf. One was to get bit and survive that path. That. That makes you a wolfman, a werewolf. Um, there's tale that there was some cursed child from back in the deep, deep old world, like Mesopotamia area. The boy was an orphan raised in the wild by himself and turned into a feral, feral critter. And his bite could curciate into being a werewolf. Or allegedly sleeping in the hide of a wolf surrounded by the wolfsbane flower could do it. We ain't got a whole lot of wolfsbane out in this area. No, mostly just sage up where you were. A little bit of wildflower. But we ain't got a lot of that in this area. Not this early, especially.

01:47:15.594 --> 01:47:19.282
You think if we burn sage, it would purify everything?

01:47:19.458 --> 01:47:21.050
It's a different kind of sage.

01:47:21.162 --> 01:47:27.974
Oh, you might commit. I mean, you'll. You might purify some stuff through eradication.

01:47:28.874 --> 01:47:31.466
It's all better. Cause there's nothing there.

01:47:31.570 --> 01:47:35.694
That fire we had about two years back did its damnedest to burn this place down.

01:47:36.234 --> 01:47:42.506
Suddenly, I'm not sorry I don't read like I thought reading was fun. This sounds scary as hell.

01:47:42.650 --> 01:48:10.954
Yeah. And that. That story was more of a religious parable, a tale of the folly of man. More than it was, I think, ever meant to be taken serious as a monster story. More about the arrogance of man and the arrogance of science versus God's will, really. More what that story was intended for. Just happened to use it. A horrifying wolf man monster to deliver the penance through.

01:48:11.674 --> 01:48:14.054
Well, there's a possibility that we met him.

01:48:15.234 --> 01:48:20.414
You met a 400 year old wolf man from Europe?

01:48:20.714 --> 01:48:23.826
No, I mean, I wouldn't say it like that.

01:48:24.010 --> 01:48:25.734
That sounds ridiculous.

01:48:26.114 --> 01:48:34.934
Yeah, you ain't wrong there, miss. In fact, I tell you this story, and y'all look like you're learning some stuff.

01:48:35.354 --> 01:48:36.950
Oh, I learned things. Yeah.

01:48:37.122 --> 01:48:38.194
Concerned here.

01:48:39.774 --> 01:48:42.510
Is that why you were trying to go for a trivia night?

01:48:42.702 --> 01:48:47.606
Yes. I wanted to learn new things. And me.

01:48:47.790 --> 01:48:49.070
Okay. Okay, that's.

01:48:49.142 --> 01:48:50.206
That makes long.

01:48:50.350 --> 01:48:52.030
Long. It's that important?

01:48:52.102 --> 01:48:56.198
Pete, you have more of a mind for literary analysis.

01:48:56.246 --> 01:48:58.074
I was in the before times.

01:48:58.534 --> 01:48:59.294
I like it.

01:48:59.334 --> 01:49:00.622
I mean that as a compliment.

01:49:00.718 --> 01:49:15.974
I hope so not. You know, you only get about seven, eight bo orders a year, and I charge enough to make a living off it, so I got some time on my hands.

01:49:16.514 --> 01:49:17.454
Fair enough.

01:49:18.754 --> 01:49:41.994
But, I mean, they. You've heard the term the mark of the beast, right? Yeah, it's that old. The christian thing. Mark of the beast, yada, yada, yada. They. They took it literal in that story. You get marked by the beast, you get bit by the beast, you get marked by it, you become the beast, and then you are a near unstoppable force that's unleashed upon the population of the area you live near.

01:49:43.334 --> 01:49:45.034
God, that was awfully specific.

01:49:45.334 --> 01:49:51.314
But there's one big issue with what y'all are telling me and that story. It ain't the full moon.

01:49:52.014 --> 01:49:54.172
It that looks up.

01:49:54.238 --> 01:49:54.392
Yeah.

01:49:54.408 --> 01:49:56.664
What are the full moon phases it taint?

01:49:56.704 --> 01:50:00.564
No, we're getting there. The full moon's, I think, the end of next week.

01:50:02.704 --> 01:50:10.552
Oh, see, so whatever we think is clearly wrong, and we're overly imaginative because we've been through trauma and we're just terrified at life. See, this is fine.

01:50:10.648 --> 01:50:14.256
That inmate in the turkeys that don't have their internal organs would like to.

01:50:14.280 --> 01:50:19.044
Disagree with you, but they can't because they're dead. So this is fine.

01:50:20.954 --> 01:50:23.090
Well, just saying that those guys were disemboweled.

01:50:23.122 --> 01:50:24.786
But what a full moon.

01:50:24.890 --> 01:50:28.946
I think we'll be on extra alert tonight at the very least.

01:50:29.050 --> 01:50:54.086
It's interesting, though, that you guys mentioned there being this kind of carnage up on the north side of town. I went down to town today. I wanted to hit that coffee shop. Now that I know that they got their roaster up back and working, which. Thank you, folks. I've been missing my morning cuppa. I have any drinks? Drank the Folgers again. And God, it ain't good no more. Place done spoiled me. Add a little bit of salt to that Folger's grounds.

01:50:54.110 --> 01:50:55.342
It makes it tolerable.

01:50:55.478 --> 01:50:57.194
I've heard cinnamon, too.

01:50:57.494 --> 01:50:58.622
That is interesting.

01:50:58.718 --> 01:50:59.438
Add a pinch of salt.

01:50:59.446 --> 01:51:06.102
I wish somebody would have figured that out while I was in the military on a boat instead of just adding more coffee grounds.

01:51:06.158 --> 01:51:10.654
Yeah, no, a pinch of salt on the grounds and then pour the coffee. I don't know.

01:51:10.694 --> 01:51:33.674
It cuts the ass. But anyway, thank you, folks, for getting that back up. But I heard an interesting story. Dial it was down there. A couple folks comment from the southwest of town said that there was several young men found slaughtered out on the Richardson ranch. Yeah.

01:51:33.714 --> 01:51:34.274
That's.

01:51:34.394 --> 01:51:41.020
What could possibly have done that. Their organs from the story? Or was it something more akin to their heads?

01:51:41.212 --> 01:51:51.716
Yeah. I'll be honest with you, I didn't think to ask about the organs at the time. Wasn't at the forefront of my mind, but missing ahead. Several of our missing heads.

01:51:51.780 --> 01:51:53.572
That's crazy. Like, three of them.

01:51:53.748 --> 01:51:54.864
Yeah, they're poor.

01:51:55.564 --> 01:51:57.424
Emery kicks Olmo.

01:51:58.564 --> 01:51:59.228
Yeah.

01:51:59.356 --> 01:52:01.948
Let's go ahead and have horrifying, actually.

01:52:02.116 --> 01:52:03.748
What the hell did you roll for that?

01:52:03.796 --> 01:52:05.224
That's a deception.

01:52:08.084 --> 01:52:11.996
And we're just glad that he's not at disadvantage anymore.

01:52:12.180 --> 01:52:21.396
Well, and I just rolled a wisdom save to see if Mel has the sense to not say anything. And she absolutely does not. She's. Can we give him an advantage?

01:52:21.460 --> 01:52:26.064
Because we're I'm trying to keep the conversation moving and just slide on by that.

01:52:26.724 --> 01:52:33.564
I don't think so. On that one, you say something that weirdly specific. What did you get?

01:52:33.864 --> 01:52:35.424
13 plus 114.

01:52:35.584 --> 01:52:42.604
All right. He looks at you kind of funny. It's like, yeah, yeah, there were. There were three of them. Boys without a head.

01:52:43.504 --> 01:52:46.728
That does match with the turkeys, because a couple of the turkeys were missing their heads.

01:52:46.776 --> 01:52:52.912
And then Mel says, boy, it's a good thing that your ranch, Elliot, is to the southeast of rifle, right?

01:52:53.088 --> 01:52:56.740
Isn't there something, you know, like mark of the beast? You know, like three heads trapped off something like that.

01:52:56.772 --> 01:52:57.908
It's a trinity thing, right?

01:52:57.956 --> 01:53:01.424
Yeah, no, I.

01:53:01.884 --> 01:53:02.340
Right.

01:53:02.412 --> 01:53:07.780
Hey, how's that? More to bond. I got another snort of that whiskey there.

01:53:07.932 --> 01:53:37.904
He passes the bottle on over and he's like, yeah, thanks. There are three of them boys, but you know, they're. Poor mama, she. Oh, I got. Sounds like she passed. She, uh, ran out of meds sometime back. And what them boys were doing instead of getting her meds, I don't quite understand, but. Sorry. They were kind of. Their pappy was a. Their pappy was a dickhead. He was. He was just as bad as that feller on up by the hunting area I was telling you about. He burned just about every bridge in this town he could.

01:53:38.064 --> 01:53:52.812
Well, yeah, cuz there's a. There's a pharmacy in town. Why wouldn't they come into town? I don't. I gotta believe the pharmacy's probably giving out important meds to like. Yeah, they come and get them, so take them. You. Don't be funny.

01:53:52.868 --> 01:53:58.644
They're doing their best. I mean, they're trying to keep some. Some control. So that way, you know.

01:53:58.764 --> 01:53:59.228
Oh, sure.

01:53:59.276 --> 01:54:04.584
They don't give all the insulin out tomorrow, and then a week from now, all. Everybody's passing.

01:54:05.764 --> 01:54:10.308
Well, the thing is that it be refrigerated. It's not gonna last a long time. So.

01:54:10.396 --> 01:54:13.832
Yep, they got the coolers out spac, that they're holding it in.

01:54:13.888 --> 01:54:25.384
That's good, because they're not. The problem is they're not going to get any. But I figure, you know, when grandma cattle comes in to get her high pressure, high pressure medication, I'm sure they like, you know, here, go ahead and.

01:54:25.504 --> 01:54:53.624
Oh, yeah, and Nathan down at the pharmacy, he knows all like 15 people who need the insulin in town. If we're not a big community, it's the pharmacy in town. But, uh. Yeah, I don't know what. Them boys. Them boys were always built a little different, especially. They got around their cousins. But, uh, you know, it's a particularly brutal scene down that way. Hear the sheriff's kind of looking around, asking some questions, but.

01:54:54.204 --> 01:54:58.464
Well, if we hear anything, we'll. We'll look to sheriff up.

01:54:59.644 --> 01:55:04.934
Can I do an insight check to see whether or not he got caught wind of anything that just happened?

01:55:05.474 --> 01:55:05.858
Sure.

01:55:05.906 --> 01:55:08.974
He's any more suspicious than normal?

01:55:09.754 --> 01:55:12.094
Mel, would like you to pass the whiskey, please.

01:55:13.314 --> 01:55:14.054
14.

01:55:14.794 --> 01:55:28.918
He's. There's something confusing him. He's not suspicious, but between the comment of the three. He's done business with Elliot before, and.

01:55:28.926 --> 01:55:31.718
We'Ve been entirely normal before that.

01:55:31.806 --> 01:55:45.990
Yeah, normal. And his ranch now being to the southeast is sitting a little funny with him, but he's not like he was best buddies with Elliot, so he's not willing to call him out and be like, aren't you from the southwest?

01:55:46.182 --> 01:55:52.950
It was Mel who said it. She doesn't look like somebody who would be an authority on directions. Let's face it, that's part of why.

01:55:52.982 --> 01:55:54.422
He ain't calling y'all out on it.

01:55:54.438 --> 01:55:56.280
But it's a little funny with him.

01:55:56.472 --> 01:55:56.944
Ha ha.

01:55:56.984 --> 01:55:58.324
We have confused him.

01:55:59.704 --> 01:56:16.284
Well, we need to do a little bit more work. We'll check that high tomorrow. I think it'll be done tomorrow. We'll stay the night. We'll make sure that's done. If you need, we'd be happy to help. Fletch, arrows.

01:56:17.824 --> 01:56:21.748
All right. All takes about. I still need the metal for the marrow heads.

01:56:21.796 --> 01:56:23.452
Oh. Oh, crap. Forgot about that.

01:56:23.468 --> 01:56:24.828
We'll run that errand tomorrow.

01:56:24.916 --> 01:56:27.052
Yeah, we'll run down the scrap yard tomorrow.

01:56:27.228 --> 01:56:29.676
I can help shape those kind of.

01:56:29.700 --> 01:56:47.524
Honestly, kicking myself a little bit. I meant to grab it while I was down there getting coffee, but the story of the Richardson boys kind of derailed me a little bit there. Coming on back. They're dickheads, but they were. They had the potential to be good boys. I think the right hand could have guided him a little better. Unfortunately, they had their pappy.

01:56:48.184 --> 01:56:51.484
Everybody's got the potential, but they don't always have the intention.

01:56:52.424 --> 01:56:54.800
It's like, late evening now, right?

01:56:54.872 --> 01:56:58.688
Yeah, it's after dark. Cool. That's what I thought. It's a proper campfire story.

01:56:58.776 --> 01:57:01.304
So we have, like, a silver dagger.

01:57:01.424 --> 01:57:04.644
So what did we decide was the check against nightmares?

01:57:05.384 --> 01:57:06.480
It was charisma.

01:57:06.552 --> 01:57:07.724
Ah, okay.

01:57:09.744 --> 01:57:15.290
So I think hearing a story about a book written in the the 18 hundreds is a bit different than talking to maybe a werewolf.

01:57:15.402 --> 01:57:19.418
Like, actual maybe the combination of the two is making Mel a little.

01:57:19.546 --> 01:57:22.274
Knowing that he came towards town.

01:57:22.394 --> 01:57:22.866
Yeah.

01:57:22.970 --> 01:57:30.474
And that he's healing. According to old dude by the lake. He looks not sickly anymore.

01:57:30.554 --> 01:57:32.410
I think he probably fed well.

01:57:32.522 --> 01:57:32.842
Yeah.

01:57:32.898 --> 01:57:36.794
Good news is Mel's apparently too stupid to get nightmares.

01:57:36.914 --> 01:57:38.944
I think she's probably complaining. Compartmentalizing.

01:57:39.024 --> 01:57:48.364
That's a werewolf thing, though. Eating some stories. Danny. Who again? That's all just. That's all just nonsense talk. It's not. It's not real.

01:57:48.984 --> 01:57:49.856
You're right.

01:57:50.000 --> 01:57:51.204
Have you met elves?

01:57:51.984 --> 01:57:53.560
Never met elves.

01:57:53.632 --> 01:57:54.144
Oh, my.

01:57:54.224 --> 01:57:55.136
Give me the whiskey.

01:57:55.200 --> 01:57:55.760
You're drinking.

01:57:55.832 --> 01:57:57.264
You've had too much. You've had too much.

01:57:57.304 --> 01:58:02.608
I've never spoken to an elk. I just shoot him. All right, that's.

01:58:02.776 --> 01:58:04.174
Oh, not. Go to bed.

01:58:04.344 --> 01:58:05.434
That's probably a good idea.

01:58:05.474 --> 01:58:08.714
Did you talk to the elk you killed? It's a weird question.

01:58:08.794 --> 01:58:10.534
I screamed at a turkey.

01:58:10.914 --> 01:58:11.834
I'll dock that.

01:58:11.874 --> 01:58:12.614
We go.

01:58:14.834 --> 01:58:16.614
The shit out of that turkey.

01:58:17.274 --> 01:58:20.494
You know, you're right. I'm gonna go different than I do.

01:58:22.034 --> 01:58:22.682
You know what?

01:58:22.738 --> 01:58:23.434
I had to kill it.

01:58:23.474 --> 01:58:27.254
We don't all have foes. And that's why we came a lot different.

01:58:29.154 --> 01:58:31.228
I see on the back of them.

01:58:31.276 --> 01:58:33.744
Two man, I lit one on fire.

01:58:34.244 --> 01:58:35.580
I didn't have a bow.

01:58:35.692 --> 01:58:38.596
So you lit a turkey on fire.

01:58:38.780 --> 01:58:39.756
You know what?

01:58:39.900 --> 01:58:41.784
I think maybe we all need to go to.

01:58:42.724 --> 01:58:49.620
I think it's time for you to hand me those key. And I'm gonna put this on top shelf. Top shelf thing.

01:58:49.732 --> 01:58:59.294
After this admittedly confusing conversation, you are reminded me me why I live on the outskirts of town. And I appreciate that. Yeah.

01:58:59.994 --> 01:59:07.694
And, you know, we might be crazy, we might be overly suspicious, but make sure you lock your door tight tonight.

01:59:09.154 --> 01:59:10.934
I will absolutely do that.

01:59:11.674 --> 01:59:15.122
Not because of us. I want to make that part clear.

01:59:15.258 --> 01:59:18.334
I think Belle has a little nervous laughing fit over.

01:59:18.874 --> 01:59:21.014
As long as you do that, buddy.

01:59:21.484 --> 01:59:21.980
That's.

01:59:22.052 --> 01:59:24.504
We're looking out for you, dude.

01:59:28.644 --> 01:59:32.744
You better take that whiskey bottle back inside. We don't want anybody to get hurt.

01:59:33.204 --> 01:59:40.404
Yeah, I. Yeah. Well, let me know when you guys get that medal and I'll just be seeing y'all.

01:59:40.444 --> 01:59:42.268
Yep, we'll get it tomorrow.

01:59:42.356 --> 01:59:46.444
Not tomorrow with that. You guys said you wanted to do watches.

01:59:46.564 --> 01:59:47.328
Yes.

01:59:47.516 --> 01:59:50.024
I think Olnock's not on first watch.

01:59:50.184 --> 01:59:52.168
No, Olnach needs to sober up a little bit.

01:59:52.176 --> 01:59:53.844
Olnach is on last watch.

01:59:55.224 --> 01:59:56.680
Yay. On the overwatch.

01:59:56.832 --> 02:00:00.544
I usually prefer to do first watch, but I can do an earlier one if you want.

02:00:00.584 --> 02:00:01.784
Elliot'll take third.

02:00:01.904 --> 02:00:03.044
Earlier than first.

02:00:03.344 --> 02:00:07.444
I think she meant last, but yeah, last watch.

02:00:07.784 --> 02:00:15.956
I think you can still take last. We have enough of us. You and Olnot can double up. Okay, I'll take second.

02:00:16.100 --> 02:00:16.788
I'll take first.

02:00:16.836 --> 02:00:18.428
Then James Emery.

02:00:18.596 --> 02:00:19.660
At least I take two.

02:00:19.692 --> 02:00:24.724
Third, I take morning. Yeah. And now we're at fourth. Watch the duo.

02:00:24.884 --> 02:00:27.388
Morning calisthenics group. It's the yoga.

02:00:27.556 --> 02:00:28.692
We're doing yoga.

02:00:28.788 --> 02:00:30.984
You two and James, not James.

02:00:33.924 --> 02:00:37.864
Joining us for yoga in the morning. That poor child needs to stretch.

02:00:39.224 --> 02:00:40.824
All right, all right.

02:00:40.864 --> 02:00:42.040
You did this to him.

02:00:42.192 --> 02:00:47.488
I did. And it's good for him. You can. Would you like me to wake you up early so we can stretch?

02:00:47.576 --> 02:00:48.232
No, thanks.

02:00:48.328 --> 02:00:49.124
Okay.

02:00:49.424 --> 02:00:56.004
Nope. If I try to do anything before coffee, I will probably stab someone.

02:00:56.424 --> 02:00:59.648
Okay, so I make morning coffee not for Mel, but for Emory.

02:00:59.736 --> 02:01:00.216
Got it.

02:01:00.280 --> 02:01:01.000
Yes.

02:01:01.192 --> 02:01:02.124
To both.

02:01:07.784 --> 02:03:08.024
