WEBVTT 1 00:00:06.000 --> 00:01:01.000 The walls of flames around me My falling, falling to desolation Constant condemnation Mental infestation Enchanted by your gracious. 2 00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:13.000 This is the third episode of our Halloween special, Hunted in the Glow. I'm Aubrey, your gm. I'll toss for my players to introduce themselves, who they are, who they're playing, and then we'll get rolling into things. 3 00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:24.000 Hello, I am Andrew. I use he, him, pronouns. I will be playing. Riley Willows, the witch who uses she, they, pronouns. 4 00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:33.000 Hi there. I'm Beau, any and all pronouns. And today I'll be playing. Verity, low, she, her pronouns. 5 00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:37.000 Hi, I'm, Clint, and I will be playing. Put them. 6 00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:44.000 Hi, my name is so they, them, pronouns. And I will be playing. Melody, grace, she, her pronouns. 7 00:01:44.000 --> 00:02:23.000 Last session, there were some revelations. There was a house party. There was a figure in a mask. Where we left off is everyone. But Melody is in a hallway facing down. Cal wearing the mask. We'll leave them there for the moment. I'm sure they'll be fine. As we go in and check on what Melody was doing. You said something about a quarterback. 8 00:02:23.000 --> 00:03:16.000 Oh, like, I like that. Yeah. I was sitting on the lap of. Let me check his name. I know his name because I read it. Checks notes. I'm sitting on the lap of Tommy right before. I don't actually know what happened, actually. I think I was just sitting on his lap, and then people started coming out, but that had very little to do with me. And I'm. I think I gave him a kiss. Like, I feel like. And if that didn't happen, then I'm going to give him a kiss. I was sitting on his lap. I walked out. I walked away from my intense current boyfriend into the arms of my next boyfriend, Tommy. I sat on Tommy's lap, and I'm ready to give him a kiss. And I'm like, hey, Tommy. 9 00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:17.000 Yeah? 10 00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:21.000 Why don't we start off by rolling to turn someone on? 11 00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:26.000 All right. Looks like a third team. 12 00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:38.000 That's very much success. You will gain a string on Tommy. And then they choose a reaction from below, they're just gonna give themselves to you. 13 00:03:38.000 --> 00:04:36.000 And I think as. As he's shown, I think that's. Actually. That's what Melody does. As soon as. As he's like. As soon as he's enjoying himself, like, feeling this and giving me attention, as every man should, I go, yippee. And I clap and I say, I have a gift for you. And I pull out a granola bar, and I wave it in front of his face like he's my little dog, because he is. And I say, here, this is for you. And now listen to me talk you about my night. And she just like goes on, she's like, so my parents weren't home, they were out on a date. And then like, skip, skip, skip. Oh, and like, what else? Like something else. Like, oh, and then I had dinner and you know, and then like some other boys and it's, she's just going on and on and on, like while his hands are just roaming with wherever they happen to. 14 00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:49.000 Yeah, yeah, they certainly are. If you are not going to stop him. He is 18 years old. It's the hormones are raging and the hands are wandering. 15 00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:55.000 And the hands are wandering. That is the yes. If you think I, I, I came to the kitchen to get a meal, 16 00:04:55.000 --> 00:05:05.000 like, and certainly unless you try and stop it, he is going to try and take things further. 17 00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:22.000 I'm pondering, I'm pondering the true horror of the show. I think there just kinds of comes to be a line because we're around the open. So I think there's just like a little smack when the hands wander a little too far. It's like 18 00:05:22.000 --> 00:05:34.000 he will say, there's plenty of bedrooms. I'm sure we could find a more private space to continue this conversation. 19 00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:41.000 And I say, okay, okay. I lean in really close and I say, okay, just let me check on my girls. 20 00:05:41.000 --> 00:05:52.000 He will lean back into the couch, do the thing where you put your hand like arms up on like the things spread, 21 00:05:52.000 --> 00:06:07.000 whatever men do. And yeah, when he does that, I give him a little smile and then I hop off his lap and walk away as if this was not happening at all whatsoever, to go find my girls, AKA Verity. 22 00:06:07.000 --> 00:06:08.000 Verity. 23 00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:09.000 Yep. 24 00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:19.000 And speaking of Verity, all the rest of you are in this hallway. You see Cal, who was in the front? Was it Riley? 25 00:06:19.000 --> 00:06:21.000 Yeah, it was me. 26 00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:40.000 It was rightly. Okay, you see, masked Cal, he has some sort of belated implemented his hand. It's a little too fast to really truly tell what it is, so I'm gonna need you to give me a. Some sort of roll. Probably a keep your cool. 27 00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:42.000 Okay. 28 00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:43.000 What do I, what do I have 29 00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:45.000 to keep your cool? 30 00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:47.000 That is a cold roll. 31 00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:52.000 Yikes. Okay, 32 00:06:52.000 --> 00:06:57.000 two five minus one for nine. 33 00:06:57.000 --> 00:07:20.000 Nine. So you have this moment where you're watching whatever he has in his hand coming right towards you. You can either take the hit or step out of the, out of the way. And whoever's directly behind you is going to take this hit. 34 00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:24.000 I, I have to, I'm gonna step out of the way. I do step out of the way. 35 00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:25.000 Okay. 36 00:07:25.000 --> 00:07:33.000 What was the marching order here? Was it. Was it Putnam? Was it Verity? Was it Quinn who was directly. 37 00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:38.000 I do think Quinn was right behind. Like, I do think it was the two of them because they were leading the charge. 38 00:07:38.000 --> 00:08:03.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was Quinn. And so, yeah, unfortunately, Quinn is going to take this sort of right in the shoulder area because they are slightly off because this person was just aiming for your chest. Right in the shoulder area. And Quinn just sort of like. And they sort of continue through and push Quinn up against the wall with a surprising amount of force. 39 00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:14.000 Would it be possible for me to basically push Quinn back and get in front of the masked individual? 40 00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:16.000 Yeah, that sounds like a. Why don't you lash out physically? 41 00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:26.000 Okay, I have a question. Can I use this unit as a soul to exchange my two strings on Quinn for a string on myself? 42 00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:30.000 Sure, yeah. If the move works that way. 43 00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:42.000 It is. And then I will use that string on myself to give myself a plus one on any roll. So, on this roll. Sorry, what. What role did you say it was? I apologize. 44 00:08:42.000 --> 00:08:43.000 Volatile. 45 00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:53.000 Volatile. Well, unfortunately, I'm pretty okay at this. Not great, but I would normally be good at those. That's a nine. A nine. 46 00:08:53.000 --> 00:09:09.000 So you will get your hit in, but you choose one, they learn something about your true nature and gain a string on you. The MC decides how bad the harm turns out, so it could be worse. Or you become your darkest self. 47 00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:15.000 I think I'll go for the first one for now. 48 00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:30.000 So, yeah, give me a brief description of what it looks like as he has pulled this knife out of Quinn. And you come in and sort of throw yourself in front and you kind of get slashed across the arm. 49 00:09:30.000 --> 00:10:01.000 What does it look like instead of blood? Like a ochre kind of sort of yellow, gray, sort of clay liquid kind of starts flowing out of Verite's arm. And in the slash, there's no muscle tissue, just more. More solid clay. As Verite stands up tall in front of Kal. 50 00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:21.000 Yeah, you all. Everyone in this hallway probably notices that rather than blood, that Verity has something else. You probably don't get too good of a look at it because everything is all happening at once. So, Putnam or Riley? Well, Putnam, you're the only one that hasn't gone yet, so I'm going to ask you what you're doing. 51 00:10:21.000 --> 00:10:58.000 Yeah. So with Quinn a little bit further back, knowing. Knowing what I know about at least. Like the. The attackers having killed Daisy before and now are so curious why she's still alive, odds are they're coming After Daisy again. And so if I'm disguised as Daisy, currently, that's probably not the best solution. Do I happen to know, because we're at the Hawthorne house, correct? Yes, do. Or the. The Rose House. 52 00:10:58.000 --> 00:10:59.000 Yeah, the Rose House. 53 00:10:59.000 --> 00:11:04.000 Do I know where Hawthorne's bedroom is? 54 00:11:04.000 --> 00:11:06.000 Roll me a D6. 55 00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:07.000 Okay. 56 00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:12.000 Also, while I'm thinking about it, Verity take one harm from being stabbed. 57 00:11:12.000 --> 00:11:22.000 Sounds good. I have a question also. Does my life matters least when you suffer so someone else won't have to mark experience and gain string on them here? 58 00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:23.000 Yes, that. That would. 59 00:11:23.000 --> 00:11:26.000 That would. 60 00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:30.000 That would definitely proc. So, yeah. Putnam, what did you get? 61 00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:32.000 I rolled a five. 62 00:11:32.000 --> 00:11:33.000 A five? 63 00:11:32.000 --> 00:11:33.000 Yes. 64 00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:45.000 I'd say so it's. It's a little bit further, like behind you down the hallway. But yeah, it's. You could probably get there and not very quick. You probably get there pretty quickly because 65 00:11:45.000 --> 00:12:04.000 knowing that I'm in danger as Daisy and Quinn is clearly in danger because they just got stabbed. I'm gonna pull Quinn and go to Hawthorne's room and I'm gonna try. Yeah, I'll just start there. I'm gonna try to get us out of the way a little bit. 66 00:12:04.000 --> 00:12:07.000 Romeo, run away. 67 00:12:07.000 --> 00:12:11.000 Not great at those. A3. 68 00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:29.000 A3. So, yeah, no, this doesn't happen as Quinn is a little bit of dead weight. They are conscious, but they are. They're quickly going into shock from being stabbed. 69 00:12:29.000 --> 00:12:30.000 Yeah. 70 00:12:30.000 --> 00:13:03.000 And you know, you're trying to pull them and it's just like if you've ever tried to like pull in a whole like carry an unconscious person, they just. They are dead weight and you aren't getting anywhere fast. And that is when you know, currently Cal is engaged with Verity. So you aren't in danger, but you are not making any progress at all. Yeah. And that's a failed roll. So don't forget to mark experience. 71 00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:09.000 Okay. I'm so close. Sweet. 72 00:13:09.000 --> 00:13:29.000 So. Yes. Riley, what are you doing? You dodged out of the way. Quinn got hurt. You see Putnam pulling. Trying to pull Quinn down the hallway to this room. And Verity is also just been stabbed. What are you doing in this moment? 73 00:13:29.000 --> 00:14:10.000 I think I'm gonna. I'm gonna try something strange and I'm gonna kind of like lean to where like Putnam and Quinn are and look at Putnam and say, I think it's better if Quinn pretends to be dead. And I'm gonna put my sympathetic token from Quinn in. In their pocket and say, just pretend you're dead. And I'm gonna try to cast my hex wither, which can make their Skin look all sickly and, like, spotty. Just looks dead. 74 00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:11.000 Yeah. 75 00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:14.000 No, go for it. 76 00:14:14.000 --> 00:14:20.000 What is math? It's eight. I have two. So 10. That is a 10. 77 00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:21.000 A 10. 78 00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:21.000 Yeah. 79 00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:43.000 No, that will go off without a problem. And su. Yeah. You give Quinn back his sympathetic token. And they appear to. Their skin kind of goes a little gray and their eyes go a little glassy. And to anyone else, anyone who comes across them that isn't any of you, they would appear to be dead. 80 00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:57.000 I think then I am going to, like, try to, like, make a scene about it, to point it out, like, oh, my God, they're dead, and figure out what everyone else is doing after that. 81 00:14:57.000 --> 00:15:03.000 How loud are you trying to be? Are you just trying to get attention to people in the hallway or beyond? 82 00:15:03.000 --> 00:15:05.000 Just us in the hallway. 83 00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:07.000 Okay, so you're not screaming it. 84 00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:08.000 No. 85 00:15:08.000 --> 00:15:16.000 Verity, Kal certainly looks like he is about to take another swing at you. What would you like to do? 86 00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:41.000 Nerdy, who's normally kind of awkward and quiet, has sort of a little bit of resilience maybe appearing on her face as she looks at Kal in this mask. And, I mean, she's gonna. She's gonna lunge at him. 87 00:15:41.000 --> 00:15:55.000 Yeah. Now lash out physically now that you actually get to, like, see what he's holding. His hand, it appears to be some sort of, like, soil knife, maybe. Usually would be to, like, cut into the ground to lay seeds. 88 00:15:55.000 --> 00:16:02.000 Dang. That's super effective against me. Unfortunate. That is a three. 89 00:16:02.000 --> 00:16:48.000 As you do this, you try and fight back. And Cal is a lot more skilled with this knife, this weapon, than he appears to be. And it is sort of. You come up and try and sort of shove his arms out of the way, just throw him off guard, and it sinks right through your arm. The weapon is, like, through your arm. So technically, you have the weapon now. It is in you, but. And you are going to take another harm from that. And. Yeah. Putnam, what would you like to do? 90 00:16:48.000 --> 00:17:07.000 Do I. I'm trying to. As Putnam, who's been a little bit in this high school, just. Just between being Daisy and being a couple of other kids who were sick the past couple weeks, can I recall any of the, like, larger football players? 91 00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:14.000 Yeah, you will. Certainly. You could think of Tommy Thorne, the quarterback. 92 00:17:14.000 --> 00:17:15.000 Okay. 93 00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:18.000 He's very big, very obvious. 94 00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:44.000 Okay, I'm going to. There's probably a door at least near me, right? Okay. I'm going to open the door near me and I'm going to yell in, help us. We're being attacked. And then I'm Going to step in and turn into the Bobby Thor. I'm going to see if this works. Just to get like another muscly person, you know. 95 00:17:44.000 --> 00:17:48.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Roll me that. 96 00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:50.000 That transform roll. 97 00:17:50.000 --> 00:17:53.000 That is a nine, seven plus two nine. 98 00:17:53.000 --> 00:18:06.000 So you have a choice of three things. The impersonation doesn't hold up under scrutiny. Assuming the disguise is agonizing. Take one harm, or it won't last long. 99 00:18:06.000 --> 00:18:33.000 I think the impersonation doesn't hang up under scrutiny because from at least we like know the killer doesn't know that I can change. And there's so much energy of this. I. I'm sure I'm transforming extra fast. And we're just trying to get something out there to help. So let's do the. The first option. 100 00:18:33.000 --> 00:18:51.000 Any of you in the hallway will watch as Putnam says this, steps in and steps out a completely different person like five, six seconds later. And Melody, that's about the point, you come up the stairs and see what is going on. You see? 101 00:18:51.000 --> 00:19:01.000 Yeah. Do I see just Tommy or do I see Putnam turn into Tommy from being Daisy? 102 00:19:01.000 --> 00:19:21.000 I think you see the moment where Tommy comes out of the room and you don't, you don't see Daisy go into the room, but Tommy has come out of the room and something just doesn't look right. And you can't put your finger on it. In this moment, 103 00:19:21.000 --> 00:20:37.000 I hear a not Tommy voice. Yo, we're being attacked. I see Tommy come out and I'm like. And now you look weird. And I'm like, well I'm. I'm like, I'm gonna very confusedly walk up to you and then look into the door to see what's happening. But also like kind of keeping my distance away from you because this is weird. This is immediately weird. And the minute I see Verity injured, I. Is there like, is there a vase or something, anything hit to hit someone with in this area? Yeah, I sprint past weird looking Tommy, grab a vase and I'm like trying to hit. I'm screaming, no. As soon as I see like half health, very. I'm gonna, I'm gonna hit this man with a vase. So it could be worse. Okay, that's okay. I got a 10. 104 00:20:37.000 --> 00:20:59.000 And you know, you do. You run in with the vase, you smash it over. You know who that is? You know, it's the same outfit he was wearing earlier tonight. You smash it over his head and it's kind of like he staggers and kind of like falls against the wall. Like for a moment, stunned, I smack 105 00:20:59.000 --> 00:21:57.000 his Mask off of his face to, like, for it to go flying somewhere. And I would like to use a move which doesn't tell me how to roll to this, but I would like to use my Rocky coast move, which allows me to convince someone to destroy something, or when I convince someone to destroy something, thing. But I'm gonna read him for filth. First, I kick him in the nuts. Step two, I kick him in the nuts so that he is lower to the ground than my height. And I look and I say, you disgusting little loser, you. You hurt her. And I don't know the equivalent of maybe I turn someone on and I say, take that fucking trowel, stab yourself with it and break your own heart. 106 00:21:57.000 --> 00:21:58.000 Yeah. 107 00:21:57.000 --> 00:22:01.000 No, that's plural. To shut someone down. 108 00:22:01.000 --> 00:22:03.000 I got a 10. 109 00:22:03.000 --> 00:22:14.000 You know, choose one from below, they lose a string on you. If they have no strings on, you gain one on three them, they gain a condition. Or you take plus one forward. 110 00:22:14.000 --> 00:22:20.000 I would like to give him a condition which feels very apt. Heartbroken. 111 00:22:20.000 --> 00:22:26.000 Heartbroken, yeah. So, yeah, you want to convince him to destroy the mask. 112 00:22:26.000 --> 00:22:31.000 Oh, no. Destroy the weapon in his hand. 113 00:22:31.000 --> 00:22:35.000 Currently, the weapon that was in his hand is in Verity's arm. 114 00:22:35.000 --> 00:22:46.000 But, you know, sure. The mask, then too. I don't know. Whatever. I want him to stop. I'm trying to get him to stop attacking my friend. Singular. 115 00:22:46.000 --> 00:22:47.000 Yeah. 116 00:22:47.000 --> 00:22:48.000 No. 117 00:22:48.000 --> 00:23:11.000 He is kind of stunned and sort of slides down the wall. Like, one hand on the wall. So he's like, kneeling, and the mask is sort of, like, gone down the hallway. And he does not look like he's in any shape to try and kill someone at this second. 118 00:23:11.000 --> 00:23:18.000 I turn to everyone and I say, get him. To whoever has the strength or energy or care. 119 00:23:18.000 --> 00:23:21.000 I've got the strength. 120 00:23:21.000 --> 00:23:27.000 Would you use a string on me to command me to do that? Perhaps 121 00:23:27.000 --> 00:24:06.000 she'll use a string on everyone else. She's only watching her strings. She's not doing that. She looks at you, kind of yelling at everyone to get them, and sees that you have a big painful thing in your arm. I think she actually runs over to you, takes the trowel out, throws it on the ground, and says, not you, and is trying to, like. She can't but, like, put your arm back together. I think she actually tears a piece of shirt off of her shirt, cloth off of her shirt to, like, tie it around your arm to, like, try and keep it together. So. 122 00:24:06.000 --> 00:24:13.000 Yes. Yeah. You're doing that, Putnam, are you? What are you doing, Riley? Also, what are you doing? 123 00:24:13.000 --> 00:24:17.000 Kel's on the ground. Right. 124 00:24:17.000 --> 00:24:29.000 Kind of like kneeling one arm on the wall, like on his knees. And he's kind of just like. He's trying to like. Melody probably gave him a concussion with that face. 125 00:24:29.000 --> 00:24:34.000 I'm gonna try to give him an actual concussion and punch him. 126 00:24:34.000 --> 00:24:36.000 All right. 127 00:24:36.000 --> 00:24:40.000 Lash out. Physically 128 00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:44.000 doing not great, Captain. That's a three. Again. 129 00:24:44.000 --> 00:25:18.000 As you do this, I think the form you're doing kind of just sort of. It's getting harder and harder to hold this form because you took it so quickly. It's. You know, everything's kind of falling apart. Like you can kind of feel some of the. Like your. Your arm wants to turn back into its natural shape and natural form. And you are going to take one arm as your own body betrays you. Riley, what are you doing? 130 00:25:18.000 --> 00:25:42.000 I think I want to like take the moment while Melody is helping Veride to ask like what Melody knows about this. So like Riley's gonna turn and look at Melody. Do you. Do you know anything about this? Because. And just sort of see what you know. Melody says 131 00:25:42.000 --> 00:25:54.000 don't be wrong with you, champ. She is not locked in to anything anyone else is saying as she is tending towards. But you can ask. She's like. 132 00:25:54.000 --> 00:25:55.000 Huh? 133 00:25:54.000 --> 00:26:10.000 What? Shut up. And she's like. Almost like. What's the word I'm looking for? Like in a trance. Is trying to make sure that Verity is okay. 134 00:26:10.000 --> 00:26:22.000 Verity looks very awkward about this whole thing. Like no, no. People aren't supposed to take care of me. That's not the right. It's not the right order of things. 135 00:26:22.000 --> 00:26:26.000 You think as you are trying maybe even if you're moving away or anything. 136 00:26:26.000 --> 00:26:30.000 Yeah. Perd is moving towards Pal for sure. 137 00:26:30.000 --> 00:26:41.000 She's like don't move. And at this point she will use one of the strings on you to make you stay in place and let her help you. 138 00:26:41.000 --> 00:26:45.000 Okay. I will accept the command. 139 00:26:45.000 --> 00:26:48.000 Anything else you would like to do, Riley? 140 00:26:48.000 --> 00:27:33.000 Yeah, I think not getting a response. I'll focus on California. I'm gonna. I'm gonna do some. Some risky nonsense here in the hallway and I'm gonna go over by cow and try to like get his eyes and look at him in the eyes and I. I'm gonna chant in tongues and yeah, I'm gonna attempt to hex cow with makes it to where they cannot physically harm others. Kinda on my side. What is four three, two seven. So that's a nine zero. 141 00:27:33.000 --> 00:27:44.000 It works. But you choose one. Either one harm the hex has weird side effects or you trigger your darkest self. I can be trusted with weird side effects. 142 00:27:44.000 --> 00:27:47.000 Yeah, No, I don't thing. I'm going to. 143 00:27:47.000 --> 00:27:51.000 I'm going to take one arm, 144 00:27:51.000 --> 00:28:00.000 but yeah, that's what I'm going to do. It's just me kneeling and chanting at cow. 145 00:28:00.000 --> 00:28:20.000 Yeah. No, and probably it's like a nosebleed or a headache or something that comes on as you do this. And he freezes. He. He is. He's conscious, but he cannot move. So he cannot move against any of you. 146 00:28:20.000 --> 00:28:25.000 Already wants to move forward, but she is unable to. 147 00:28:25.000 --> 00:28:29.000 Is Quinn still looking dead in the hallway? 148 00:28:29.000 --> 00:28:30.000 Yeah. 149 00:28:30.000 --> 00:28:36.000 I'd say that spell would go on for at least the next scene, especially with a success. 150 00:28:36.000 --> 00:28:50.000 I know that my body is starting to fail. I'm gonna try it again to pull him down the hallway now that he's at least like further down on the ground. 151 00:28:50.000 --> 00:29:02.000 Yeah. Being out of. Out of a. Out of a life or death situation, you will be able to pull him down the hallway and into Hawthorne's room. It's only a few doors down. 152 00:29:02.000 --> 00:29:30.000 When I get in there, I imagine if I remember correctly, Quinn had like a button up on or just like a plain shirt. Very goth energy. I'm gonna try to find similar pants or like, just like. I'm gonna actually. No, I'm gonna take that specific flannel off of him and try to like, hide him in this room somewhere so that I can come out as him if I need. 153 00:29:30.000 --> 00:29:38.000 Yeah, there's. You could, you know, put him under the bed, put him in the closet. Any of those options. 154 00:29:38.000 --> 00:29:53.000 I'm going to. First off, I'm going to open the window and then I'm going to try to put him under the bed, which I imagine teenage boys under the bed. There's some shit underneath there. 155 00:29:53.000 --> 00:29:59.000 But you can kind of like take one of the blankets off the bed and kind of just like put it over Quinn. 156 00:29:59.000 --> 00:30:19.000 Yeah. And then I would love to use Transform, but it's someone. I think specifically we talked about that this would count for Transform and crawl inside your head. It's someone whose mannerisms I have studied because of the makeup situation. 157 00:30:19.000 --> 00:30:21.000 Roll that. Transform. 158 00:30:21.000 --> 00:30:24.000 That is a 1313. 159 00:30:24.000 --> 00:30:35.000 Yeah. No, you are 100% Quinn. Anybody, like, unless they're asking you close personal information, will probably think you're Quinn. 160 00:30:35.000 --> 00:30:55.000 I have a shirt with the gashes. Is there like a sock in this room? Something on the floor? I'm gonna take just like some clothing on the floor and like wrap it and then try to tend to his wound quickly, too. I know there's only so much that I can do. But I mean it's. It's. 161 00:30:55.000 --> 00:31:23.000 It's gonna take. Take you a minute or so. But like everybody would see you at least moving Quint safety if they want to follow that as their prerogative. But the rest of the people out in the hallway, Melody, you are tending to very tenderly to Verity's wounds. And Riley, you are. Riley, what are you like after you've hexed Cal? What are you up to? 162 00:31:23.000 --> 00:31:44.000 Riley is sort of like focused in on Cal and then back and forth between Melody and Veride and just trying to like stay present in the hallway. Look at Cal to make sure he's like staying there and sort of just trying to keep him there until everyone comes back together. 163 00:31:44.000 --> 00:31:45.000 Yeah. 164 00:31:45.000 --> 00:31:52.000 So we can like question him as like a group I guess is sort of like Riley's thing. 165 00:31:52.000 --> 00:31:53.000 Yeah. No. 166 00:31:53.000 --> 00:32:15.000 And as you're doing this, as you're looking at Cal, you. His eyes start to go unfocused and you watch as this like his nose starts to bleed. And after a few seconds he will like kind of collapse and it's very clear that he is not breathing. 167 00:32:15.000 --> 00:32:33.000 I'm gonna look at Melody and Veride and say well, that is all our answers gone. It appears that also Quinn is gone and sort of just like. But where. Where are they? 168 00:32:33.000 --> 00:32:47.000 Melody snaps out of this like ties the tight. Make sure that the arm is on and you can get. I think you get two health back because I'm helping you. So you're back up to full 169 00:32:47.000 --> 00:32:48.000 and 170 00:32:48.000 --> 00:33:00.000 Melody turns around and sees boy drop like sack of potatoes. And you're like there goes our answers. What happened? 171 00:33:00.000 --> 00:33:18.000 I actually don't know. You smashed them over the head with a face and someone else hit them. Told them not to harm anyone. 1. And now they're in that state. 172 00:33:18.000 --> 00:33:29.000 Did. Did I. Did I give him a mega concussion? She's like looking at her hands, 173 00:33:29.000 --> 00:33:30.000 but 174 00:33:29.000 --> 00:33:34.000 it's possible blunt force can do that. 175 00:33:34.000 --> 00:33:36.000 Where. 176 00:33:36.000 --> 00:33:49.000 Where do we. And I think Riley's gonna start like walking and looking into like rooms to see if they can find the other two people. 177 00:33:49.000 --> 00:33:50.000 Yeah. 178 00:33:49.000 --> 00:34:05.000 No, you. You push open the door for Hawthorne's room and you see sort of Quinn tending like wrapping this sock around their. But you don't see anybody else. But the window's open 179 00:34:05.000 --> 00:34:15.000 can. So I don't know if this is how this works, but do I know if my spell is still going on? 180 00:34:15.000 --> 00:34:25.000 They certainly seem very alive. You're also aware that Putnam is a doppelganger. You were there for that conversation. 181 00:34:25.000 --> 00:34:31.000 I have suspicion, but I guess I don't I wouldn't know for sure. 182 00:34:31.000 --> 00:35:14.000 I, I think if you come in and start to, like, make a little bit of a face, I, I'm going to use Face Dancer and try to, like, give like a. Hey, don't question too much out loud right now. It says when you've, when you've transformed and another player begins to suspect something is amiss, you can tell them to. Impersonation is convincing and ask them to play along. If they accept, they mark experience and are convinced that you are who you appear to be until you transform or reveal your identity. But you can refuse. You don't have to. And it's. You can do as you please, but you can confront me however you want. 183 00:35:14.000 --> 00:35:24.000 No, no, I'll accept it. Because I think from the other room, it felt like we're trying to. To help each other figure this out at least. 184 00:35:24.000 --> 00:35:25.000 Yeah. 185 00:35:25.000 --> 00:35:28.000 Now. So, yeah, experience. 186 00:35:28.000 --> 00:35:29.000 That's. 187 00:35:28.000 --> 00:35:35.000 I'm gonna come up to you as Quinn and whisper into your ear and say under the bed. 188 00:35:35.000 --> 00:35:36.000 Cool. 189 00:35:36.000 --> 00:35:38.000 Yeah, just. 190 00:35:38.000 --> 00:35:48.000 I'll just. What? What happened? How did you get up? Are you, Are you okay? Like, and I'll start the conversation like, I'm, like, normally talking to Quinn. 191 00:35:48.000 --> 00:36:07.000 Yeah, I, I, I. Tommy dragged me in here and kind of just like, threw some clothes at me and then hopped out the window to go get help, I think. I'm not sure. 192 00:36:07.000 --> 00:36:11.000 Oh, okay. Yeah, I did see Tommy in the 193 00:36:11.000 --> 00:36:13.000 hallway for a second, so. 194 00:36:13.000 --> 00:36:20.000 Okay. Do we know where Daisy went? 195 00:36:20.000 --> 00:36:30.000 Daisy's hiding in a different room right now, I think. I think I saw her dip to get Tommy in the first place. 196 00:36:30.000 --> 00:36:41.000 Yeah, it's like trying to just have this normal conversation and, like, hey, the Queen isn't here. I'll say, like, louder. 197 00:36:41.000 --> 00:36:57.000 Melody. Verity. You've probably finished patching up Verity's wounds by now. It's up to you whether you want to notice anything particular about them. Like the fact that it's not blood. 198 00:36:57.000 --> 00:36:59.000 Melody already knew. 199 00:36:59.000 --> 00:37:24.000 Yeah. I think Melody is very gently holding the arm. Like the, the scar on the arm, maybe? No scar, actually, but the place where there should be a scar. I, I'm sorry. I don't like to give commands. 200 00:37:24.000 --> 00:37:25.000 I know. 201 00:37:25.000 --> 00:37:30.000 But I'm gonna protect people. 202 00:37:30.000 --> 00:37:34.000 You're good at getting yourself hurt. 203 00:37:34.000 --> 00:37:37.000 It doesn't really matter. 204 00:37:37.000 --> 00:37:47.000 It does to me. And at that, she kind of walks into the room to whatever this convers, this faux conversation that is happening between 205 00:37:47.000 --> 00:37:52.000 you two already stays there because she can't move. 206 00:37:52.000 --> 00:38:05.000 And she walks towards it, sees that you don't move, and she gets a really sad look on her face and says, command over 207 00:38:05.000 --> 00:38:11.000 a mark experience when completed already with Folly Mountfellow and Melody. Yeah. 208 00:38:11.000 --> 00:38:25.000 Now you all walk into Hawthorn's room, this sort of like little goth cave, and you see Quinn and Riley. You don't see the corridor back. Who also went in here? 209 00:38:25.000 --> 00:38:27.000 It was Tommy. 210 00:38:27.000 --> 00:38:28.000 Yeah, Tommy. 211 00:38:28.000 --> 00:38:37.000 Yeah. So I guess. Should I close this? 212 00:38:37.000 --> 00:38:42.000 Well, is Cal still outside? 213 00:38:42.000 --> 00:38:54.000 She gets a really uncomfortable look on her face. Calm, kind of. I think me and Riley killed him. 214 00:38:54.000 --> 00:39:02.000 Okay, it sounds crazy, but we should probably call an adult, right? 215 00:39:02.000 --> 00:39:04.000 Oh, 100%. 216 00:39:04.000 --> 00:39:08.000 Yeah. Okay. 217 00:39:08.000 --> 00:39:19.000 I have. I can like. Do we call? I guess she has. Who the do we call? 218 00:39:19.000 --> 00:39:25.000 Maybe find one of the Rose children. 219 00:39:25.000 --> 00:39:33.000 Maybe is Meadow or Hawthorne. Have we seen them here? 220 00:39:33.000 --> 00:39:38.000 Not recently, but you definitely seen them earlier tonight or. 221 00:39:38.000 --> 00:39:40.000 Melody, you have a cell phone, right? 222 00:39:40.000 --> 00:39:41.000 I do. 223 00:39:41.000 --> 00:39:46.000 Okay, maybe emergency services. 224 00:39:46.000 --> 00:39:47.000 Yeah. 225 00:39:47.000 --> 00:39:48.000 Yeah. 226 00:39:47.000 --> 00:39:49.000 Emt. 227 00:39:49.000 --> 00:39:50.000 Definitely an emt. 228 00:39:50.000 --> 00:39:51.000 Emt. Okay. 229 00:39:51.000 --> 00:39:52.000 Yeah. 230 00:39:52.000 --> 00:39:55.000 For my shoulder at least. 231 00:39:55.000 --> 00:40:03.000 So, yeah, you. Are you going in search of the 232 00:40:03.000 --> 00:40:05.000 Roses? 233 00:40:05.000 --> 00:40:30.000 Yeah, I guess I'm. I guess I'm being put in charge of doing that as the one teenager with a phone, which honestly. Huge. 1999. I'm loved by rich people and. Yeah, I guess I go and find one of the Rose children. 234 00:40:30.000 --> 00:40:31.000 Yeah. 235 00:40:30.000 --> 00:40:34.000 No. As you all exit the room and 236 00:40:34.000 --> 00:40:37.000 you, 237 00:40:37.000 --> 00:41:05.000 Putnam, you hadn't seen Cal State before. And it's. It's not pretty. There is a pile of blood, like a puddle of blood underneath his head from where he's bled out. And kind of all of your gazes naturally follow and you all notice something. The mask is gone. 238 00:41:05.000 --> 00:41:07.000 Guys, where's the mask? 239 00:41:07.000 --> 00:41:10.000 Is the weapon gone as well? 240 00:41:10.000 --> 00:41:12.000 Yes, the weapon is also gone. 241 00:41:12.000 --> 00:41:16.000 Oh, God. 242 00:41:16.000 --> 00:41:17.000 Cool. 243 00:41:17.000 --> 00:41:20.000 Awesome. 244 00:41:20.000 --> 00:41:25.000 Can I get everybody to just roll it? Keep your cool. 245 00:41:25.000 --> 00:41:27.000 I'm really good at those. 246 00:41:27.000 --> 00:41:32.000 You keep doing this. 247 00:41:32.000 --> 00:41:36.000 I guess I am good at this. 248 00:41:36.000 --> 00:41:40.000 I got a 3. 249 00:41:40.000 --> 00:41:43.000 I got 11. 250 00:41:43.000 --> 00:41:44.000 Got a 4. 251 00:41:44.000 --> 00:42:08.000 4. So those are of you who also got. Both of you who got fours. You can feel free to make whatever conclusions you want about where the mask went or why it went anywhere or any of that. Maybe it's cursed. You don't know. The others are keeping it together. 252 00:42:08.000 --> 00:42:19.000 Did someone kick it? Like, is it under the furniture? Like, that's. I feel like we'd need that for, like, evidence, right? 253 00:42:19.000 --> 00:42:41.000 Says on a 10 and up, you keep your cool and gain insight. I was wondering, are there any. Perhaps any like, bloody footprints or any kind of thing that looks like someone might have come by and. Yeah. And sort of taken this stuff, perhaps? 254 00:42:41.000 --> 00:43:05.000 Yeah. No, you actually. Great Call about the footprints. There is a set of bloody footprints. It appears somebody came down the hall from the same direction that Melody came from initially. And the footprints will eventually stop, but they do continue down the hallway in the other direction that you initially came from. 255 00:43:05.000 --> 00:43:24.000 So it could be anyone from the party. Awesome. I think Verde will rush over to the body and just kind of check on it and make sure that Cal is, in fact dead, because that's much worse than if he's just knocked out. 256 00:43:24.000 --> 00:43:27.000 Yeah. No, still a corpse. 257 00:43:27.000 --> 00:43:33.000 Awesome. Great. Cool. 258 00:43:33.000 --> 00:44:03.000 And so when you were in this hallway, Cal came from another room that was, like, across the way. And that's when you, like, one of the doors opens and you do see that there is at least one more body. There is a body of. You're unsure of who it was. It's one of your other just people in your class. You don't remember their name, but they've been stabbed. They're most certainly dead. Their throat was cut. 259 00:44:03.000 --> 00:44:06.000 We need to call 91 1. 260 00:44:06.000 --> 00:44:08.000 Yeah, yeah. 261 00:44:08.000 --> 00:44:10.000 I. I don't. Don't even. Wait.

Because she did not keep her cool. She looks like she's on the verge of a freak out. 265 00:44:20.000 --> 00:44:21.000 Yeah. 266 00:44:21.000 --> 00:44:23.000 So, yeah, 911 or. 267 00:44:23.000 --> 00:44:24.000 Or. 268 00:44:23.000 --> 00:44:25.000 Or 269 00:44:25.000 --> 00:44:26.000 91 1. 270 00:44:26.000 --> 00:44:27.000 91 1. 271 00:44:27.000 --> 00:44:36.000 Hey, hey, hey. 272 00:44:36.000 --> 00:44:55.000 She's clicking the buttons. She's gonna. She's gonna, like. She looks like she was. She's, like, pacing. She. Who died? Like, none of us. Like, is it like, truly, like, NPC number five type of person? 273 00:44:55.000 --> 00:45:04.000 It's truly NPC number five. This is not someone you. You recognize them as. They're in their class. They weren't in, like, you didn't know them. They were in, like, band. 274 00:45:04.000 --> 00:45:12.000 You think that's worse? No connection. I'm calling 91 1. 275 00:45:12.000 --> 00:45:18.000 Why don't you bounce me a. Just a quick D6. Just one D6. 276 00:45:18.000 --> 00:45:27.000 Bounce me a D6. What one? 277 00:45:27.000 --> 00:45:29.000 I have to ask. 278 00:45:29.000 --> 00:45:31.000 I don't want to answer. 279 00:45:31.000 --> 00:45:35.000 Is Melody the kind to forget to charge her phone? 280 00:45:35.000 --> 00:45:42.000 I've already established that she rarely sleeps and stays on it all night. So, yeah. Yeah, she is. 281 00:45:42.000 --> 00:45:51.000 Yeah. You. You go to call 911 and your phone is unfortunately dead. 282 00:45:51.000 --> 00:46:08.000 So there's two options here. I have a bad idea because this is horribly embarrassing. Can I use haunting? 283 00:46:08.000 --> 00:46:13.000 You could technically, yes. I feel like you're about to put on a performance here. 284 00:46:13.000 --> 00:46:40.000 She is. She is. And she's just like, hey, yeah, hi, 911. We. We need some help? Please, can you just. And then she rattles off the address. Actually, she turns. What address are we at? 285 00:46:40.000 --> 00:46:45.000 You're relatively sure if you say the Rose Manor, they're gonna know where you are? 286 00:46:45.000 --> 00:47:02.000 The Rose Manor. The Rose Manor. Okay, thanks. And then she acts like she hangs up her phone and I'm gonna roll and then immediately go find the people who are in charge of this house and tell them to come call 911. But I'm going to roll first. 10. A 10? 287 00:47:02.000 --> 00:47:03.000 Yeah. No. 288 00:47:03.000 --> 00:47:05.000 What do you choose from that? 289 00:47:05.000 --> 00:47:24.000 Someone in the crowd gives me a string. Do I choose? The crowd goes back to normal lives afterwards. Is that a choice? I see it on my list. I want everyone to feel calmer than they might. Yeah. 290 00:47:24.000 --> 00:47:26.000 You know, goes where you tell them afterwards. 291 00:47:26.000 --> 00:47:29.000 If you're like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm like, okay, guys. 292 00:47:29.000 --> 00:47:30.000 Yeah. 293 00:47:29.000 --> 00:47:50.000 I'm like, okay, guys, let's. I called them. Let's go into the main room. And because she's trying to save face, she does not want to be the person in the emergency that has a dead phone. Let's save face and go into where more people are. 294 00:47:50.000 --> 00:47:59.000 Yeah. No, and as you say that, let's go to where more people are. Somewhere off into this. Since you hear a scream. 295 00:47:59.000 --> 00:48:00.000 Oh, no. 296 00:48:00.000 --> 00:48:03.000 Oh, dear. 297 00:48:03.000 --> 00:48:06.000 I run towards it. 298 00:48:06.000 --> 00:48:08.000 I think we. We all do. 299 00:48:08.000 --> 00:48:09.000 Yeah. 300 00:48:08.000 --> 00:48:12.000 At least put does as Gwyn. 301 00:48:12.000 --> 00:48:35.000 Yeah. No, you. You. You all run towards it and, you know, you run into this main room and you kind of all come up short a little bit at the top of the stairs. Their bodies in the main room. There's like four in the main room. 302 00:48:35.000 --> 00:48:36.000 Oh, dear. 303 00:48:36.000 --> 00:48:39.000 Bodies. 304 00:48:39.000 --> 00:48:43.000 Cool. 305 00:48:43.000 --> 00:48:49.000 So we should leave, right? 306 00:48:49.000 --> 00:48:57.000 I think numbers are better, but that's just me. 307 00:48:57.000 --> 00:49:14.000 What? You. What is this kid's name again? Cuz you're. You look like Quinn currently. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Look. Tall, dark and handsome. There's more numbers down there being hunted than there are up here. We could go out the window, follow 308 00:49:14.000 --> 00:49:18.000 Tommy out the window. 309 00:49:18.000 --> 00:49:20.000 Sure. 310 00:49:20.000 --> 00:49:23.000 Okay. 311 00:49:23.000 --> 00:49:28.000 Go to the kitchen, get some weapons or something. Maybe that'll protect us. 312 00:49:28.000 --> 00:49:31.000 There are knives in the kitchen. 313 00:49:31.000 --> 00:49:43.000 Okay, we've got one vote for leaving, one vote for weapons and kitchen. Going down into the. Into the fray. Quinn. Riley. 314 00:49:43.000 --> 00:49:46.000 Riley. What do you think? 315 00:49:46.000 --> 00:50:33.000 Look, I think leaving is maybe problematic if you have called the police and then we disappear and people are murdered. I'm not an expert, but I would imagine they would assume that you are the killer, the caller. So, yeah, I think we should continue to try to find other people, at least it feels really bad, and I would love to leave, but I. I think we're kind of stuck in this situation. 316 00:50:33.000 --> 00:50:39.000 There's four of us, and just, like, what, one of them? Maybe. 317 00:50:39.000 --> 00:50:56.000 Yeah. But looking at the. At the way it looks in here, I don't know if I. I didn't want to acknowledge this, and now, mentally, I'm not. Okay. Because I'm acknowledging it, but. But there's lots of dead people in here, and they didn't seem to have a problem killing all of them, so. 318 00:50:56.000 --> 00:50:57.000 Yeah. 319 00:50:57.000 --> 00:51:10.000 Yeah. And Cal almost killed us in a hallway, so Alone. So, yeah, weapons is my vote. That's. That's where I'm at. 320 00:51:10.000 --> 00:51:15.000 Two weapons, one leaf. Looks at Quinn. 321 00:51:15.000 --> 00:51:22.000 I mean, yeah, if making a call to police and ditching is probably not the best option. 322 00:51:22.000 --> 00:51:36.000 She looks so unhappy at this turn of events, but will not be fessing up to her own mistakes at this moment. Fine. Let's go get weapons. 323 00:51:36.000 --> 00:51:40.000 Maybe hold up in a room or something. 324 00:51:40.000 --> 00:51:46.000 Sure. This is a big house. Do they have, like, second stairs? 325 00:51:46.000 --> 00:51:49.000 You're all on the second floor currently, and everything's. 326 00:51:49.000 --> 00:51:57.000 Yeah, yeah. You know, like, houses that are big. There's those stairs that take you towards the front door, and then there's the stairs that usually take you to the kitchen. Is this anything? 327 00:51:57.000 --> 00:52:00.000 Yeah, they probably would be something like that here. 328 00:52:00.000 --> 00:52:01.000 Yeah. 329 00:52:00.000 --> 00:52:33.000 No, you all sort of find those stairs. You've been here enough that you can easily navigate. And as you enter the kitchen, there are two more bodies. One of them appears to have their throat slit and drowned in the. The keg or the tub or tub of ice that is mostly melted by this point. And then the other one is just. It takes you a second. They don't have a head anymore, 330 00:52:33.000 --> 00:52:34.000 so 331 00:52:34.000 --> 00:52:43.000 either they're really strong or really tenacious. I don't think I want to deal with either. So is anyone ready to leave? 332 00:52:43.000 --> 00:52:46.000 I'm changing my boat. Let's. Let's get out of here. 333 00:52:46.000 --> 00:52:48.000 Okay. 334 00:52:48.000 --> 00:52:52.000 I'm still gonna look for, like, a weapon, even if we are leaving, because there are. 335 00:52:52.000 --> 00:52:57.000 There are knives. Oh, yeah. 336 00:52:57.000 --> 00:53:07.000 If they have, like, a knife block, I'll. I'll take out, like, a. Whatever biggest thing they have, and then I will go in front. 337 00:53:07.000 --> 00:53:12.000 They get a nice, like, chef's knife. Like chef's knife. Yeah. 338 00:53:12.000 --> 00:53:13.000 No. 339 00:53:12.000 --> 00:53:17.000 And there are a few that are missing. I'm sure that's normal. 340 00:53:17.000 --> 00:53:21.000 Oh, there's. Oh, awesome. 341 00:53:21.000 --> 00:53:23.000 Several of the knives in the knife are missing. 342 00:53:23.000 --> 00:53:25.000 Yeah. 343 00:53:25.000 --> 00:53:26.000 Six or seven in the block. 344 00:53:26.000 --> 00:53:27.000 Okay. 345 00:53:26.000 --> 00:53:29.000 There's six or seven in the block. How many are left? 346 00:53:29.000 --> 00:53:33.000 Four. 347 00:53:33.000 --> 00:53:36.000 I'll take one. 348 00:53:36.000 --> 00:53:42.000 I'll take one too. 349 00:53:42.000 --> 00:53:43.000 I don't. 350 00:53:43.000 --> 00:53:47.000 I guess I take the last knife. 351 00:53:47.000 --> 00:53:50.000 Like two people with small pairing knives at this point. 352 00:53:50.000 --> 00:53:52.000 Yeah, exactly. 353 00:53:52.000 --> 00:53:56.000 Verity, do you want two knives? 354 00:53:56.000 --> 00:54:00.000 I don't know if that would be any better than one knife. 355 00:54:00.000 --> 00:54:03.000 Okay. You let me know if you need a second knife. 356 00:54:03.000 --> 00:54:05.000 Yeah. 357 00:54:05.000 --> 00:54:10.000 I wonder if Verity put any points in the dual wielding skill. 358 00:54:10.000 --> 00:54:13.000 No, 359 00:54:13.000 --> 00:54:22.000 I feel like dual wielding skills not very useful in the. The specific things she's good at. Yeah. 360 00:54:22.000 --> 00:55:35.000 And as you all decide, just be like, okay, yeah, we're getting out of here. And you turn towards like one of the exits out of the kitchen, probably the one to the front door because that is literally the closest you would have to go further to get to the back door. There is a figure that enters the kitchen and you are all facing down Tommy the quarterback now wearing the mask and covered in blood. And I think that is a good spot to end this penultimate episode.
