1
00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:18.000
<v Speaker A>My falling, falling to destination.

2
00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:23.000
<v Speaker B>Constant condemnation.

3
00:00:23.000 --> 00:01:11.000
<v Speaker A>Mental infestation. Enchanted by your gracious. Welcome back to Goblets and Gays and our finale of Hunted in the Dark. I'm Aubrey Yurgian. I'll tell some players to introduce themselves, who they are, who they're playing, and then we'll get rolling into things.

4
00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:23.000
<v Speaker C>Hello, I am Andrew. I use key, him, pronouns. I will be playing. Riley Willows, the witch who uses she, they, pronouns.

5
00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:31.000
<v Speaker D>Hi there. I'm Beau. Any and all pronouns. And today I'll be playing Verity, low. She, her pronouns.

6
00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:42.000
<v Speaker E>Hi, I am, Clint, and tonight I will be. Or today shoot And I. Hi, I'm Clint. And I will be playing Put them.

7
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:49.000
<v Speaker B>Hi, my name is Zo. They, them pronouns. And I will be playing. Melody, Grace, she, her pronouns.

8
00:01:49.000 --> 00:02:37.000
<v Speaker A>So things have come to a head, so to speak. The crew has dealt with one of the slashers. Or has another one has appeared as well? Is it still without many answers but facing down the quarterback wearing this mask, holding a knife. So as Tommy stalks into the room, who would you say is closest to the door? Who was leading the charge to run away?

9
00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:49.000
<v Speaker E>I think Putnam was closer because Putnam just changed their mind and said, all right, we're out of here.

10
00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:50.000
<v Speaker B>Yeah.

11
00:02:49.000 --> 00:03:09.000
<v Speaker A>No. So, Putnam, you're the one that is going to have the knife swung at you first. You can either. I'll give you an option. You can either lash out physically and attack in turn with one of the knives you have, or you can attempt to keep your cool and dodge the attack.

12
00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:24.000
<v Speaker E>I'm going to attempt to lash out to see if I can at least stop Tommy a little bit or I'll mark that experience. Cool.

13
00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:39.000
<v Speaker A>Unfortunately, like, you were still not completely used to how Queen's body works and how like Queen never struck me as a person with an incredible amount of upper body strength.

14
00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:42.000
<v Speaker E>Definitely not an athlete. Yeah, yeah.

15
00:03:42.000 --> 00:04:08.000
<v Speaker A>So, yeah, you're unfortunately unable to get that hit in, but you feel the knife hit you in the side, like right near your left side and sort of bury itself there and you will take a harm.

16
00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:13.000
<v Speaker E>Did I. I still have my one from the transforming mishap. Correct.

17
00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:28.000
<v Speaker A>Okay, so Melody, Verity, Riley, you all see this as this imposing over six foot quarterback just stabbed. Not Quinn.

18
00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:51.000
<v Speaker D>Incense is maybe, maybe too nice of a word about it. Becomes pretty angry at this whole thing and is going to rush towards Tommy and just kind of like yell out like, stop hurting my friends and is gonna try to stab him.

19
00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:54.000
<v Speaker A>Lash out physically.

20
00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:58.000
<v Speaker D>That's seven. I don't think that's enough. Right, seven.

21
00:04:58.000 --> 00:04:59.000
<v Speaker A>You will harm them.

22
00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:02.000
<v Speaker D>But

23
00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:03.000
<v Speaker A>seven to nine they learn something

24
00:05:03.000 --> 00:05:04.000
<v Speaker D>about your true nature.

25
00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:12.000
<v Speaker A>Gain a string on you. I decide how bad the harm turns out or you become your target self.

26
00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:19.000
<v Speaker D>I think for now I'll just say you get to choose how bad the harm turns out.

27
00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:20.000
<v Speaker E>Yeah.

28
00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:41.000
<v Speaker A>For this it will be to harm. As he just backhands you across the face. You're pretty sure your mouth is full of blood or you're not blood. And you may lose a tooth from this.

29
00:05:41.000 --> 00:05:44.000
<v Speaker D>Did I at least hit him?

30
00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:50.000
<v Speaker A>You will get in a hit, yes. You will have dealt one harm to him.

31
00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:51.000
<v Speaker D>That's good.

32
00:05:51.000 --> 00:06:00.000
<v Speaker A>Then as you sort of slice along his arm, as you kind of go careening into one of the counters, like to steady yourself.

33
00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:16.000
<v Speaker E>Can I spend a fate to make that the how bad that harm is to Tommy a little worse with the blood and fury. Spend fate to have the final say in how bad it turns out when someone takes harm.

34
00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:17.000
<v Speaker D>Sure. Yeah.

35
00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:20.000
<v Speaker A>You could also do the same thing to reduce Verity's harm.

36
00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:25.000
<v Speaker E>That's true. Ooh, I would love to reduce Verity's harm.

37
00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:26.000
<v Speaker D>Yeah.

38
00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:44.000
<v Speaker A>You can spend that fate reduce Verity's harm. You are there to essentially steady her so she doesn't careen and slam into the counter. Sweet severity. You will only take one harm. Melody and Riley. What are you doing?

39
00:06:44.000 --> 00:07:00.000
<v Speaker B>I look at. I look at Riley with our two knives together. Should we door?

40
00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:16.000
<v Speaker C>Yeah, I. I think the best plan is move that direction. That seems to be occupied. Fighting Tommy. Tommy fighting them. But how do we save them Them?

41
00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:18.000
<v Speaker D>I guess.

42
00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:29.000
<v Speaker B>Do we? No. Do you got any spell?

43
00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:44.000
<v Speaker C>Yeah. So Riley is going to start chanting in tongues again and I think I'm gonna go. I'm gonna.

44
00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:45.000
<v Speaker D>All right.

45
00:07:45.000 --> 00:08:07.000
<v Speaker C>I'm gonna use my hex to do ring of lies on Tommy. I'm gonna ask him where did you get the mask? And hope he answers. Cause I suppose he doesn't have to.

46
00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:16.000
<v Speaker A>He would tell you that he found it in the hallway.

47
00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:23.000
<v Speaker C>Excellent. That helps us none.

48
00:08:23.000 --> 00:08:26.000
<v Speaker B>Well, that.

49
00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:29.000
<v Speaker E>That's a flaw.

50
00:08:29.000 --> 00:08:30.000
<v Speaker A>This is a long.

51
00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:35.000
<v Speaker C>A longer lasting thing. So we can ask. Ask questions. Oh, my God.

52
00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:36.000
<v Speaker B>Yeah, that's.

53
00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:46.000
<v Speaker C>Everyone can ask questions. And if the person ever attempts to lie, then the effect works. So if you want to barrage him questions.

54
00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:49.000
<v Speaker E>Why are you doing this?

55
00:08:49.000 --> 00:08:51.000
<v Speaker C>That's legit.

56
00:08:51.000 --> 00:08:52.000
<v Speaker A>Does he have to.

57
00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:53.000
<v Speaker D>It was.

58
00:08:53.000 --> 00:09:01.000
<v Speaker A>Is it just like he can answer? If he has to lie, he has to. Do I have a role for that or what?

59
00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:17.000
<v Speaker C>So if the person attempts to lie, they hear a piercing ringing noise. Big lies will make their knees buckle or disorient them. And then severe lies can cause brain damage.

60
00:09:17.000 --> 00:09:27.000
<v Speaker A>But, yeah. Now, as you call up the question, why are you doing this? She just says, I'm just doing what I'm told. Melody,

61
00:09:27.000 --> 00:09:38.000
<v Speaker B>question. My bestie is injured. I'm gonna do what I do best and then go over to make sure that Verity is okay.

62
00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:39.000
<v Speaker A>Are you to try to get Verity out.

63
00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:40.000
<v Speaker D>Out of there?

64
00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:43.000
<v Speaker B>Of course I'm gonna try to get Verde out of here.

65
00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:44.000
<v Speaker D>Yeah.

66
00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:46.000
<v Speaker A>Why don't you roll me a runaway with volatile?

67
00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:47.000
<v Speaker B>Let's go.

68
00:09:47.000 --> 00:09:48.000
<v Speaker A>Okay.

69
00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:54.000
<v Speaker B>Runaway is plus. Okay. Minus one. I got a seven. It could have been worse.

70
00:09:54.000 --> 00:10:02.000
<v Speaker A>You can choose one. You run into something worse, you cause a big scene, or you leave something behind there.

71
00:10:02.000 --> 00:10:32.000
<v Speaker B>I'm gonna leave something behind, and I'm gonna do it very intentionally. I'm gonna pick up Verde to get her out of, like, the. The front lines and maybe start moving towards the back door. But as I am, I'm gonna put my. Like, I'm gonna take my phone out of my pocket and put it in Putnam's hand and say, call someone. Or I can leave it. I don't have to actively do it, but I can leave my phone.

72
00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:50.000
<v Speaker A>Say, you could hand it to put. Yeah, no, that counts as leaving something behind. So Putnam, you're now holding the phone, and Verity, you, of course, consent to being dragged away.

73
00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:53.000
<v Speaker B>Like, I'm trying. You don't have to come with me.

74
00:10:53.000 --> 00:11:04.000
<v Speaker D>Freddie does not want to go, but if Melody's pulling her along, she'll probably go along with Melody.

75
00:11:04.000 --> 00:11:17.000
<v Speaker B>She's at least wants to get you away from. You can tell that she at least wants to get you away from the killer. She just. Please, we don't have to go far.

76
00:11:17.000 --> 00:11:24.000
<v Speaker A>Essentially pulling Verity into the. The next room, which is like this formal dining room.

77
00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:28.000
<v Speaker E>I'm gonna open the phone.

78
00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:31.000
<v Speaker A>The phone is dead.

79
00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:35.000
<v Speaker E>Melody, how long has your phone been dead?

80
00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:37.000
<v Speaker B>What?

81
00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:41.000
<v Speaker E>How long has your phone been dead?

82
00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:42.000
<v Speaker B>It's not.

83
00:11:42.000 --> 00:11:47.000
<v Speaker E>I'm gonna take it, and I'm just gonna try to throw it at Tommy and run.

84
00:11:47.000 --> 00:11:48.000
<v Speaker A>Yeah, Give me a.

85
00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:49.000
<v Speaker D>Give me a lash out.

86
00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:51.000
<v Speaker A>Physically,

87
00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:59.000
<v Speaker E>I'm historically great at those. Ooh, an 11. Minus one. A 10.

88
00:11:59.000 --> 00:12:02.000
<v Speaker A>A 10. So, yeah, you. You sort of.

89
00:12:02.000 --> 00:12:03.000
<v Speaker D>You.

90
00:12:02.000 --> 00:12:19.000
<v Speaker A>You get the phone and you just toss it, and it gets him, like, right in the eye. So he's unfortunately just, like, sort of staggering back for a moment as you sort of do that and attempt to run away.

91
00:12:19.000 --> 00:12:27.000
<v Speaker E>Romanian, Can I use the fate that I just got to spend it so that it's worse?

92
00:12:27.000 --> 00:12:37.000
<v Speaker A>Yes, you can. It's Essentially, as you get it probably perfectly. And so he's like, clutching at the eye and kind of like staggering.

93
00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:38.000
<v Speaker E>8.

94
00:12:38.000 --> 00:12:40.000
<v Speaker C>8.

95
00:12:40.000 --> 00:12:47.000
<v Speaker A>You get away, but you choose one, you run into something worse. Cause a big scene. Leave something behind.

96
00:12:47.000 --> 00:13:00.000
<v Speaker E>I think. I mean, Putnam's bleeding, so definitely leaving the weapon behind. Yeah, for sure. Leaving the weapon behind.

97
00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:01.000
<v Speaker A>Yeah.

98
00:13:01.000 --> 00:13:02.000
<v Speaker D>The.

99
00:13:01.000 --> 00:13:16.000
<v Speaker A>The knife clatters to the ground as you just follow Melody and Verity into the dining room and. Riley, what are you doing?

100
00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:20.000
<v Speaker C>I think I'm also going to seize the opportunity to run here.

101
00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:33.000
<v Speaker A>All right, same roll. Roll with all time. A7, same options. Run into something worse. Cause a vaccine. Leave something behind.

102
00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:49.000
<v Speaker C>I think. I think I'll also go with leaving the weapon behind as I like, kind of just like put it down on the counter. Like this clearly isn't an effective method. Like, we're not good at stabbing people

103
00:13:49.000 --> 00:13:50.000
<v Speaker D>and.

104
00:13:49.000 --> 00:13:53.000
<v Speaker C>And yeah, run out.

105
00:13:53.000 --> 00:14:14.000
<v Speaker A>Yeah. No, you are all in the fancy dining room. You know, Tommy will recuperate in just a moment and is currently trying to give chase, but, you know, will be back in full force in just a moment. So you. What do you do?

106
00:14:14.000 --> 00:14:19.000
<v Speaker E>Out. Right out.

107
00:14:19.000 --> 00:14:31.000
<v Speaker A>If you're heading this way, you're going to be heading towards the back door. Sort of go out onto the back lot. That's where you're headed. Unless you want to try to loop around and head out the front door.

108
00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:34.000
<v Speaker E>Ooh. That is where the car is.

109
00:14:34.000 --> 00:14:36.000
<v Speaker B>That is where the car is.

110
00:14:36.000 --> 00:14:50.000
<v Speaker D>Go out and go around them. Like, other than that, I guess we could go like. Wait, by looping, do you mean going back upstairs and going like, going back the way we came or going around

111
00:14:50.000 --> 00:15:14.000
<v Speaker A>Tommy, Essentially, the way the house is laid out, you could essentially make a giant loop through the house and try to hit the front door rather than. Because you're essentially where the kitchen is and the formal dining room. If you continued, you'd probably be closer to the back door than looping back around to the front door. You could either go up the stairs and around or through the house.

112
00:15:14.000 --> 00:15:17.000
<v Speaker D>I feel like for running, we're just going to go out the back door.

113
00:15:17.000 --> 00:15:23.000
<v Speaker E>Like, we're not going to think. Yeah, yeah.

114
00:15:23.000 --> 00:15:41.000
<v Speaker A>So, yeah, you. You hit where the back doors are and you go to push and they're not moving. Like, you can feel that they have something on the other side has secured them so they won't open.

115
00:15:41.000 --> 00:15:43.000
<v Speaker E>Are they glass?

116
00:15:43.000 --> 00:15:45.000
<v Speaker A>No.

117
00:15:45.000 --> 00:15:48.000
<v Speaker D>Yes. We're running. Doing the loop then, right, Going around.

118
00:15:48.000 --> 00:15:49.000
<v Speaker E>Yeah.

119
00:15:49.000 --> 00:15:50.000
<v Speaker D>No.

120
00:15:50.000 --> 00:16:01.000
<v Speaker A>And as. As you. As you do, Tommy will come into view and I'm gonna need runaway rolls

121
00:16:01.000 --> 00:16:04.000
<v Speaker B>again,

122
00:16:04.000 --> 00:16:08.000
<v Speaker D>be at 12 from Faraday.

123
00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:12.000
<v Speaker C>It's a seven again. Seven. Seven.

124
00:16:12.000 --> 00:16:16.000
<v Speaker E>A nice strong two from Putnam.

125
00:16:16.000 --> 00:16:20.000
<v Speaker B>I got a five.

126
00:16:20.000 --> 00:16:22.000
<v Speaker E>Five.

127
00:16:22.000 --> 00:16:39.000
<v Speaker A>Yeah. Now put them. You go to run, but a hand on the back of your flannel grabs you and yanks you back and take another harm as you sort of slam into the wall with your shoulder.

128
00:16:39.000 --> 00:16:41.000
<v Speaker E>Looking real beat up. King.

129
00:16:41.000 --> 00:16:42.000
<v Speaker D>Yeah.

130
00:16:42.000 --> 00:16:59.000
<v Speaker A>And I think Melody, you just freeze seeing this happen for just a moment. And Riley, you same three options. Run to something worse. Make a scene, leave something behind.

131
00:16:59.000 --> 00:17:05.000
<v Speaker C>I guess. What would making a scene entail? Just make a lot of noise.

132
00:17:05.000 --> 00:17:08.000
<v Speaker A>Make a lot of noise. You signal to.

133
00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:09.000
<v Speaker D>Yeah.

134
00:17:09.000 --> 00:17:14.000
<v Speaker A>Signal to anyone else who happened. Might happen to be in the house.

135
00:17:14.000 --> 00:17:35.000
<v Speaker C>Riley is like not screaming was like in terror, but more screaming. Just an infinite barrage of questions to hope that he answers one of the lie. Where did you come from?

136
00:17:35.000 --> 00:17:41.000
<v Speaker E>I bet we have. We asked him. Who told him

137
00:17:41.000 --> 00:18:01.000
<v Speaker C>so. Yeah, that could be one of them. Who told you to do this? Where did you come from? How did you get in here? Who lock the doors? Just a slew of questions as I'm running as loud as I possibly can so everyone can hear me.

138
00:18:01.000 --> 00:18:02.000
<v Speaker E>Yeah.

139
00:18:02.000 --> 00:18:20.000
<v Speaker A>No, and it's the. Who told you to do this? And there's just like a pause and you have. You hear a name. You hear him say Melody as you

140
00:18:20.000 --> 00:18:40.000
<v Speaker B>run away because you succeeded on your role and I failed. And my name gets called out. I stand there frozen, frozen, frozen. And then I take action by stabbing Putnam in the chest.

141
00:18:40.000 --> 00:18:45.000
<v Speaker A>Roll the flash up physically

142
00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:50.000
<v Speaker B>and I can use. What are those things called?

143
00:18:50.000 --> 00:18:51.000
<v Speaker A>Strings.

144
00:18:50.000 --> 00:19:14.000
<v Speaker B>Strings. To get a plus one right. Plus one that turns my nine into a ten. A good performance really makes things go well, huh? And I think she is saying that as she very calmly, very gently walks over with the knife that I think you gave her from the kitchen. And

145
00:19:14.000 --> 00:19:15.000
<v Speaker D>right there.

146
00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:18.000
<v Speaker E>Can I use my last fate?

147
00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:20.000
<v Speaker A>Yeah.

148
00:19:20.000 --> 00:19:25.000
<v Speaker E>I want to make this non lethal because I have one harm left.

149
00:19:25.000 --> 00:19:27.000
<v Speaker A>It's.

150
00:19:27.000 --> 00:19:29.000
<v Speaker E>I will let you rule however you need though.

151
00:19:29.000 --> 00:19:36.000
<v Speaker A>No, like, I like that. It's just because you are still getting stabbed.

152
00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:38.000
<v Speaker E>I'm still getting stabbed. Yeah.

153
00:19:38.000 --> 00:19:58.000
<v Speaker A>But it's. It's not lethal because it's just like slightly to the left of like or right of where it should be. Because you as a doppelganger, maybe your heart's not in the exact same place like a normal person's heart would be. So Melody stabs where the heart should be. There is not.

154
00:19:58.000 --> 00:19:59.000
<v Speaker C>It's.

155
00:19:59.000 --> 00:20:07.000
<v Speaker A>It's not fun. You feel yourself get stabbed, but it's not enough to do actual harm to you.

156
00:20:07.000 --> 00:20:11.000
<v Speaker E>Can I try something?

157
00:20:11.000 --> 00:20:13.000
<v Speaker D>Yeah.

158
00:20:13.000 --> 00:20:20.000
<v Speaker E>I'm gonna grab Melody's clothing and look her in the eye and turn into her.

159
00:20:20.000 --> 00:20:21.000
<v Speaker D>Yeah.

160
00:20:21.000 --> 00:20:24.000
<v Speaker A>Roll that transform.

161
00:20:24.000 --> 00:20:25.000
<v Speaker E>That is a 7.

162
00:20:25.000 --> 00:20:27.000
<v Speaker A>7 and 9.

163
00:20:27.000 --> 00:20:29.000
<v Speaker D>Choose one.

164
00:20:29.000 --> 00:20:34.000
<v Speaker E>The disguise won't last long. That makes the most sense. Yeah.

165
00:20:34.000 --> 00:20:48.000
<v Speaker B>I stab you and you don't die. Oh, that's hot. Now you look like me. If you'll allow, Melody will give you a kiss on the mouth.

166
00:20:48.000 --> 00:20:51.000
<v Speaker E>Who do you think you are to kiss someone like me?

167
00:20:51.000 --> 00:20:53.000
<v Speaker B>One you.

168
00:20:53.000 --> 00:20:57.000
<v Speaker E>I'm better you.

169
00:20:57.000 --> 00:21:07.000
<v Speaker B>I have no doubt about that. And she is kind of trailing a knife up your sternum, tapping it on your chest.

170
00:21:07.000 --> 00:21:10.000
<v Speaker D>Hey,

171
00:21:10.000 --> 00:21:17.000
<v Speaker B>I. Have you ever been controlled?

172
00:21:17.000 --> 00:21:21.000
<v Speaker E>I don't know if I know who I am anymore.

173
00:21:21.000 --> 00:21:52.000
<v Speaker B>Because you've actually satisfied all the conditions. You've taken something from me. You've listened oh so intently to me and you touched me so, so many times. And if you would like to more than Mike do, I mean above table, you can fall under her spell. Just like Tommy.

174
00:21:52.000 --> 00:22:01.000
<v Speaker E>Putnam would be trying to fight this as much as possible. Because what Putnam is trying to do is mess with Melody's head as much as possible.

175
00:22:01.000 --> 00:22:10.000
<v Speaker A>I feel like I'm down to make this a rule. Shut someone down is pretty applicable role for this.

176
00:22:10.000 --> 00:22:14.000
<v Speaker E>That is a crisp bore.

177
00:22:14.000 --> 00:22:27.000
<v Speaker A>And there's nothing saying you can't try again later. But for now that you will act under what Melody tells you.

178
00:22:27.000 --> 00:22:30.000
<v Speaker B>For now,

179
00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:53.000
<v Speaker A>Verity and Riley. You all hear that? You hear at least the name being called. I don't know how much of anything else you hear. If the name brings you up short and causes you to turn around and headed back towards where Putnam is, then you probably hear everything else.

180
00:22:53.000 --> 00:23:19.000
<v Speaker D>Yeah, it absolutely does. Unfortunately, I think Veride is just kind of standing there stunned. I'm going to sacrifice two strings, one on Melody and one on Quinn. To give myself a. To give myself a string. A string on myself. And then I will throw the knife at Tommy,

181
00:23:19.000 --> 00:23:22.000
<v Speaker A>lash out physically.

182
00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:29.000
<v Speaker D>9. I'm gonna become a darker self. There's no.

183
00:23:29.000 --> 00:23:34.000
<v Speaker A>Yeah, it feels thematic in this moment.

184
00:23:34.000 --> 00:23:35.000
<v Speaker D>Absolutely.

185
00:23:35.000 --> 00:23:39.000
<v Speaker A>Is there anything about Verity, physically that changes when.

186
00:23:39.000 --> 00:24:06.000
<v Speaker D>Yes. Verity's skin loses its color and loses its texture and turns into a. The golem's body turns into gray clay. All color leaves its skin. Eyes turn black.

187
00:24:06.000 --> 00:24:09.000
<v Speaker A>And

188
00:24:09.000 --> 00:24:27.000
<v Speaker D>something about it is different than before. It's not quite human, not quite alive. As it will charge towards Tommy, embed

189
00:24:27.000 --> 00:24:45.000
<v Speaker A>that knife in his shoulder, which will cause him to drop Putnam, which may or may not be a good thing. Who Knows at this point and deals another harm. He kind of staggers back and Riley, what are you doing?

190
00:24:45.000 --> 00:25:31.000
<v Speaker C>I think Riley has a moment of like I could keep running. Going to embrace what their grandmother has told them their power as a witch and go back into the room and try to help solve this. And I mean I'm a witch. Gotta do some magic. Going to attempt to bind Tommy now because my lie machine doesn't seem to work. So that that'll be the. The first thing I do.

191
00:25:31.000 --> 00:25:34.000
<v Speaker A>I'd say it worked pretty well. It's a.

192
00:25:34.000 --> 00:26:07.000
<v Speaker C>A 13. So yeah. Tommy cannot physically harm others. And I think I'm gonna taunt Melody in this moment. That's my toy now. He doesn't do that. As you know, Tommy can. Can no longer harm people and sort of just make my way back into the room and sort of survey what's going on. I imagine I can see see Putnam is. Melody is stabbed.

193
00:26:07.000 --> 00:26:11.000
<v Speaker A>So Melody that just happens

194
00:26:11.000 --> 00:26:59.000
<v Speaker B>as this is all happening while Riley is casting spells. I lean over to Putnam like as Putnam drops and I go to grab take the knife out of Putnam that I stabbed where the heart should be. And I say kill Riley when they least expect it. And then I walk over to Riley. Oh dear. You do not have to worry about my toys. There is an endless supply of boys out there and she is walking forward to you with a knife. But it's kind of circling so that wherever you are going is she blocks.

195
00:26:59.000 --> 00:27:11.000
<v Speaker A>Putnam, you've been told what to do. What do you do in this moment? You for the most part can act. You just have to follow this directive

196
00:27:11.000 --> 00:27:41.000
<v Speaker E>you've been given disguised as Melody. I know it's not going to hold up long. Melody with a knife walked away from me and Tommy has dropped me. So I'm gonna try to run up to Riley and say we have to get out of here. Let's like trying to pull her back to go through the front door. I think that would be an escape or something.

197
00:27:41.000 --> 00:27:42.000
<v Speaker A>Yeah.

198
00:27:41.000 --> 00:27:43.000
<v Speaker D>Be run away.

199
00:27:43.000 --> 00:27:50.000
<v Speaker A>And Riley, do you allow this?

200
00:27:50.000 --> 00:28:23.000
<v Speaker C>I think man. There there's a deep want to kill Melody in Riley that exists because you know all of this is happening because of Melody. And I think Riley will try to fight to stay in the room and not go with put Mel.

201
00:28:23.000 --> 00:28:29.000
<v Speaker E>Would that change my role or would that just mean I have to make a different move?

202
00:28:29.000 --> 00:28:35.000
<v Speaker A>I would say Riley roll to shut down Putnam.

203
00:28:35.000 --> 00:28:42.000
<v Speaker C>That is not going to be good. That's a five altogether.

204
00:28:42.000 --> 00:28:58.000
<v Speaker A>You try and Putnam is just pulling you along. And Putnam give me that runaway Roll seven. Well, one of three options. Run into something worse. Cause a big scene. Leave something behind.

205
00:28:58.000 --> 00:29:05.000
<v Speaker E>If Putnam is trying to get Riley killed. Definitely run into something worse.

206
00:29:05.000 --> 00:29:06.000
<v Speaker B>Yeah.

207
00:29:06.000 --> 00:29:12.000
<v Speaker A>Melody. I say there's probably several more boys here willing to do your bidding.

208
00:29:12.000 --> 00:29:30.000
<v Speaker B>There are. So I let them go knowing that I can feel they're more in the direction where they're going. And then I stay in this room with the golem.

209
00:29:30.000 --> 00:29:31.000
<v Speaker D>And then.

210
00:29:31.000 --> 00:29:36.000
<v Speaker A>Bring us to the golem. What are you doing?

211
00:29:36.000 --> 00:29:39.000
<v Speaker D>Is Tommy down?

212
00:29:39.000 --> 00:29:50.000
<v Speaker A>He is unable to fight back. He is not down. Down. He is certainly looking pretty ragged.

213
00:29:50.000 --> 00:29:53.000
<v Speaker D>I will continue stabbing him until he dies.

214
00:29:53.000 --> 00:29:54.000
<v Speaker E>Okay.

215
00:29:54.000 --> 00:29:56.000
<v Speaker A>Lash out physically.

216
00:29:56.000 --> 00:29:59.000
<v Speaker D>That's a seven.

217
00:29:59.000 --> 00:30:05.000
<v Speaker A>Seven.

218
00:30:05.000 --> 00:30:13.000
<v Speaker D>And then they will learn something about my true nature and gain string on you. So it's a bit late for that.

219
00:30:13.000 --> 00:30:18.000
<v Speaker A>They're not really gonna have much use for it as you will kill them.

220
00:30:18.000 --> 00:30:26.000
<v Speaker D>Yes. But everyone can tell in the room that Veride is gone. Only the Golem remains.

221
00:30:26.000 --> 00:30:33.000
<v Speaker A>Is the golem efficient or brutal? And how it dispatches Tommy?

222
00:30:33.000 --> 00:30:48.000
<v Speaker D>The golem is incredibly brutal. It just stabs and stabs and stabs and stabs until it's just not much left.

223
00:30:48.000 --> 00:31:22.000
<v Speaker A>And that leaves Melody and the Golem alone in the room with a couple of dead bodies. And Putnam and Riley. You are running through and you are so close to the front door when another form comes from a shadow and is going to attempt to tackle you. Riley. Well roll to keep your cool. Roll plus cold.

224
00:31:22.000 --> 00:31:23.000
<v Speaker C>That's a.

225
00:31:23.000 --> 00:31:24.000
<v Speaker B>What is.

226
00:31:24.000 --> 00:31:25.000
<v Speaker C>That's a three.

227
00:31:25.000 --> 00:31:51.000
<v Speaker A>It's a three. You are sort of hit from around the waist and go sprawling. There is another boy in a mask. It's too quick to tell who exactly. And he has a he. You are on the ground. He is moving to stab you with a knife.

228
00:31:51.000 --> 00:31:53.000
<v Speaker C>What even do I do?

229
00:31:53.000 --> 00:31:54.000
<v Speaker D>Yeah.

230
00:31:54.000 --> 00:31:55.000
<v Speaker B>Put them.

231
00:31:54.000 --> 00:32:02.000
<v Speaker A>What do you do when you see this happen? You were ever told not to let someone else. You're just told to.

232
00:32:02.000 --> 00:32:03.000
<v Speaker E>Yeah.

233
00:32:03.000 --> 00:32:06.000
<v Speaker A>Kill Riley when she at least expected it.

234
00:32:06.000 --> 00:32:20.000
<v Speaker E>Yeah. And I mean she'd be expected to die here. I'm gonna try to get her out of the situation.

235
00:32:20.000 --> 00:32:21.000
<v Speaker C>Yeah.

236
00:32:21.000 --> 00:32:30.000
<v Speaker A>Lash out physically. You have a knife in your hand. There is someone trying to bear down on Riley.

237
00:32:30.000 --> 00:32:37.000
<v Speaker E>I will show it is a four total.

238
00:32:37.000 --> 00:32:40.000
<v Speaker A>A four? Yeah. No.

239
00:32:40.000 --> 00:32:41.000
<v Speaker D>You.

240
00:32:41.000 --> 00:32:55.000
<v Speaker A>Unfortunately your hand is in the wrong place. So you are going to take a harm as it stabs you sort of through the wrist.

241
00:32:55.000 --> 00:33:02.000
<v Speaker E>If Putnam is under Melody spell. I think with. Because that's. That's for harm for me.

242
00:33:02.000 --> 00:33:15.000
<v Speaker A>Say yes. As this happens there are skirting death to avoid Death. Erase all harm and choose one. Become your darkest self or lose all strings you have on everyone.

243
00:33:15.000 --> 00:33:26.000
<v Speaker E>I would rather lose the strings so I lose the one on Riley and I'd lose the one on Quinn. For call inside your head, I assume? Yeah.

244
00:33:26.000 --> 00:33:33.000
<v Speaker A>Yes, you will. And you will reset your arm tracker.

245
00:33:33.000 --> 00:33:56.000
<v Speaker E>You see a Putnam take this damage and as they do, like, the form starts to like, fail. As like their body starts to like, glitch back to the. The like neutral golem form or not Gollum form, the doppelganger form that they carry.

246
00:33:56.000 --> 00:34:11.000
<v Speaker A>Yeah, and this person is still trying to stab Riley. And we'll figure out what happens with that in just a second as we jump back into the room and it's Melody. And the Go

247
00:34:11.000 --> 00:34:22.000
<v Speaker D>Golem stands up, knife in its hand, and turns towards Melody

248
00:34:22.000 --> 00:34:37.000
<v Speaker B>stands stock still, looking at the change that you've had with a knife in her hand. So what now?

249
00:34:37.000 --> 00:34:41.000
<v Speaker D>I'd do what I was designed for.

250
00:34:41.000 --> 00:34:47.000
<v Speaker B>You can be more than that.

251
00:34:47.000 --> 00:34:52.000
<v Speaker D>No, I can't. You prove that to me.

252
00:34:52.000 --> 00:34:54.000
<v Speaker B>Kill me.

253
00:34:54.000 --> 00:34:58.000
<v Speaker D>Or it will begin walking forward.

254
00:34:58.000 --> 00:35:05.000
<v Speaker B>She walks forward, dropping the knife, walking

255
00:35:05.000 --> 00:35:07.000
<v Speaker A>forward,

256
00:35:07.000 --> 00:35:38.000
<v Speaker B>her arms open. Do you really think you are nothing more than the thing that your parents made you? Sweetie, you are everything. The only thing in this world that I would never control. Could never.

257
00:35:38.000 --> 00:36:07.000
<v Speaker D>One will slow down. Stop. It's. My language is still stock still. But there's something in its eyes. It wants to believe that's true. It desperately wants it to believe that's true.

258
00:36:07.000 --> 00:36:52.000
<v Speaker B>She closes the distance, drops the knife and put both hands on your face. Come with me. This will be our fresh start. We can leave this town and go where we belong. Where we can be our glorious monster selves. We can head east. You are the only thing in this town that I want to cherish.

259
00:36:52.000 --> 00:37:02.000
<v Speaker D>That count as someone proving that you're truly irreplaceable.

260
00:37:02.000 --> 00:37:08.000
<v Speaker A>I think as long as Melody is being honest, which I feel she is.

261
00:37:08.000 --> 00:37:14.000
<v Speaker B>Oh yeah. It's probably the most honest she's been all night.

262
00:37:14.000 --> 00:37:39.000
<v Speaker D>Veritas skin warms up again, gains color. Her black eyes invert. Sclera is turning back to white. And she starts walking towards Melody.

263
00:37:39.000 --> 00:37:53.000
<v Speaker B>She embraces you, cups your face and says, go upstairs and go out the window, please. It's not a command.

264
00:37:53.000 --> 00:38:22.000
<v Speaker D>Verity sticks the knife into Melody's stomach. I'll use the string on myself. So it's. It's eight. I think Faraday is going to become her darker self again. As the knife plunges into Melody's stomach.

265
00:38:22.000 --> 00:38:27.000
<v Speaker A>Melody, anything in answer to that?

266
00:38:27.000 --> 00:39:23.000
<v Speaker B>She gets Stabbed. Good. Finally making a choice for yourself. And she falls to the ground and sits. There's a place, I heard about it on the Internet, that takes in monsters just like us. It teaches us everything that we need to know. So this will be the only command I give you. Go east and live a happy life. Gorgeous. And don't forget me.

267
00:39:23.000 --> 00:39:27.000
<v Speaker D>They will accept that. The golem will accept that command.

268
00:39:27.000 --> 00:39:28.000
<v Speaker B>Yeah.

269
00:39:28.000 --> 00:39:33.000
<v Speaker A>You leave Melody bleeding out on the floor.

270
00:39:33.000 --> 00:39:41.000
<v Speaker D>The golem exits the house, gets to the car. Yeah. Well, we'll begin doing that anyway. Yeah.

271
00:39:41.000 --> 00:39:42.000
<v Speaker A>You head that way and.

272
00:39:42.000 --> 00:39:43.000
<v Speaker E>Yeah.

273
00:39:43.000 --> 00:39:55.000
<v Speaker A>Putnam and Riley, you are contending with another of the enchanted.

274
00:39:55.000 --> 00:39:59.000
<v Speaker E>Does that affect the enchanted at all?

275
00:39:59.000 --> 00:40:22.000
<v Speaker A>I think so. I think it would. As the spell is broken and this person kind of is, like, clutching at their head and reeling and trying to piece together what happened, it's enough time for you to run. They may or may not die. Who knows?

276
00:40:22.000 --> 00:40:36.000
<v Speaker E>Yeah. I'm grappling with my darkest self, though, so I don't know if I would run. What does Riley do?

277
00:40:36.000 --> 00:40:55.000
<v Speaker C>I think after the shock of the, a person not trying to kill them anymore will look at Putnam and say, we. We really have to go. There could be more people who are like this. Try to just get Putnam to go.

278
00:40:55.000 --> 00:41:37.000
<v Speaker E>I'm. I think Putnam's gonna try to shut you down now. They're gonna try to, like, rip their arms away and say, what's. What's the point? I'm. I'm no one. I'm nothing. I am a mirror. Why. Why run? Why do this? Why am I constantly the one that is running? Why can't I just have something nice for once? I mean, there's so many. There's so many options here for me. Why. Why do I need to run? I can be here and I can have something nice and I could have something stable. I could take someone's space

279
00:41:37.000 --> 00:42:02.000
<v Speaker C>processing all of the, like, things you're saying, and then. That's about the future. This is about now. You can do anything you want in. In the future, but here and now we have to run.

280
00:42:02.000 --> 00:42:07.000
<v Speaker E>I don't know if I have to.

281
00:42:07.000 --> 00:42:12.000
<v Speaker C>I. I guess you don't.

282
00:42:12.000 --> 00:42:31.000
<v Speaker E>I think I could. I could. I mean, I could. I could be. Maybe I can just be Daisy. They. They haven't found her body yet. I'm just gonna be Daisy. And I think that's just gonna be it. Okay. Yeah. You know what? Let's go. I'm just gonna be Daisy. I'm gonna try to turn into Daisy again.

283
00:42:31.000 --> 00:42:32.000
<v Speaker D>Yeah.

284
00:42:31.000 --> 00:42:35.000
<v Speaker A>Roll dark.

285
00:42:35.000 --> 00:42:37.000
<v Speaker E>That's a 10 a 10?

286
00:42:37.000 --> 00:42:38.000
<v Speaker D>Yeah.

287
00:42:37.000 --> 00:42:58.000
<v Speaker A>Daisy is a form that you are so familiar with by this point. It's. It's easy. And while you're doing this, toss me a. Shut someone down. See if you're able to shake off any of these commands now that things are changing and.

288
00:42:58.000 --> 00:43:00.000
<v Speaker E>Which is a six.

289
00:43:00.000 --> 00:43:05.000
<v Speaker A>It's hazy, but yes, you will still eventually end.

290
00:43:05.000 --> 00:43:06.000
<v Speaker E>But it's.

291
00:43:06.000 --> 00:43:15.000
<v Speaker A>It's so very. Open the command. It doesn't have to be tonight. You have time.

292
00:43:15.000 --> 00:43:18.000
<v Speaker E>Or I could just be Riley right now.

293
00:43:18.000 --> 00:43:21.000
<v Speaker A>You could.

294
00:43:21.000 --> 00:43:31.000
<v Speaker E>I think that's how it manifest with Putnam being their darkest self. I'm gonna try to attack Roll two.

295
00:43:31.000 --> 00:43:34.000
<v Speaker A>Lash out physically.

296
00:43:34.000 --> 00:43:37.000
<v Speaker E>Minus one plus one. I don't even think a five is good enough.

297
00:43:37.000 --> 00:43:50.000
<v Speaker A>No, you, unfortunately, you do play your hand and take a very ineffective slash at Riley. Riley, you see this happen.

298
00:43:50.000 --> 00:43:54.000
<v Speaker C>I think I want to run away and just give up on the idea

299
00:43:54.000 --> 00:43:57.000
<v Speaker A>that,

300
00:43:57.000 --> 00:44:06.000
<v Speaker C>you know, Platinum will come with me. I think. I think Riley's just going to say, what's wrong with you? And try to run away. Here.

301
00:44:06.000 --> 00:44:07.000
<v Speaker D>Yeah.

302
00:44:07.000 --> 00:44:10.000
<v Speaker A>Roll that volatile.

303
00:44:10.000 --> 00:44:15.000
<v Speaker C>That is an 8.

304
00:44:15.000 --> 00:44:18.000
<v Speaker A>Run into something worse. Cause a big scene or leave something behind.

305
00:44:18.000 --> 00:44:44.000
<v Speaker C>I guess. I. I'm once again causing a big scene. Just shouting as I move towards the exit for help at this point. Because I think it's like even this person that I have been with the whole time is trying to kill me. So it's like someone has to be okay in here.

306
00:44:44.000 --> 00:44:45.000
<v Speaker D>Yeah.

307
00:44:44.000 --> 00:44:48.000
<v Speaker A>And as you're running, there's a moment

308
00:44:48.000 --> 00:44:51.000
<v Speaker D>and

309
00:44:51.000 --> 00:45:32.000
<v Speaker A>you kind of hear somewhere often the house sort of the click, click, click, click, click of a gas burner waiting to catch. And you hear the catch. Like the moment it clicks. And you hear a whoosh. And it's more than just one someone turning on a burner. You can smell the gas in the house. This place is going up. This place is gonna burn. So, yeah, it's probably about this point where the golem passes both of you and is running out to the car.

310
00:45:32.000 --> 00:45:34.000
<v Speaker D>Golem is not running. The golem is walking.

311
00:45:34.000 --> 00:45:35.000
<v Speaker A>Golem is walking.

312
00:45:35.000 --> 00:45:53.000
<v Speaker D>Okay, Like. Like. Like a horror villain. Like, okay, it's casual, like an automaton. Like a. It knows where to go. Go is going there, and nothing can stop it.

313
00:45:53.000 --> 00:45:55.000
<v Speaker A>Putnam, what are you doing?

314
00:45:55.000 --> 00:46:31.000
<v Speaker E>Putnam's probably following them out, but like in a crawling and laughing maniacally way. Cuz who even. Who even are they? Who am I? I am nothing to these people. They don't know me. They know Daisy. They know who I've pretended to be. And then when I get to the door. I'm gonna go. Quinn's inside.

315
00:46:31.000 --> 00:46:34.000
<v Speaker A>Quinn is the only person who did try to get to know you.

316
00:46:34.000 --> 00:46:38.000
<v Speaker E>I'm gonna run and try to get Quinn.

317
00:46:38.000 --> 00:46:40.000
<v Speaker D>If

318
00:46:40.000 --> 00:47:05.000
<v Speaker A>the fire is spreading quickly, but you have time. You can get them there, and you can get up to where they were in the room. And you did open a window. I'm looking out on the. Sort of the back area. There is a pool.

319
00:47:05.000 --> 00:47:08.000
<v Speaker E>Is Quinn under the bed?

320
00:47:08.000 --> 00:47:17.000
<v Speaker A>Yeah, they're still under the bed. They're worse for wear, but they have. They're still alive.

321
00:47:17.000 --> 00:47:25.000
<v Speaker E>I'm gonna try to drag him out, try to pull him out, and try to get us both out of the window.

322
00:47:25.000 --> 00:47:53.000
<v Speaker A>Yeah, I'd say so. It's only about a story down and into. Into some bushes. And it's not the most comfortable, and you're probably a little scratched up, but you have Quinn. While the others get in. Does the golem even care if Riley gets in the car? Or are they going? Or is it going before Riley can even get in the car?

323
00:47:53.000 --> 00:47:55.000
<v Speaker D>It's. Yeah. It's not waiting.

324
00:47:55.000 --> 00:47:59.000
<v Speaker A>Okay.

325
00:47:59.000 --> 00:48:04.000
<v Speaker D>It barely sees these people. As. As people. Fair

326
00:48:04.000 --> 00:48:12.000
<v Speaker A>Riley, do you. Do you attempt to get in the car with the golem, or are you just gonna start hoofing it back to town? It's not that far.

327
00:48:12.000 --> 00:48:24.000
<v Speaker C>Yeah, I think I might just try to walk. Like, I think Riley's focus is, I gotta get out of here. And doesn't even, like, consider that that's fair.

328
00:48:24.000 --> 00:48:52.000
<v Speaker A>You start the long walk home as the golem drives away, as Putnam and Quinn are in the backyard, kind of just watching as this house goes up. And that leaves one more melody. What do you do

329
00:48:52.000 --> 00:49:40.000
<v Speaker B>after setting the house on fire and waiting a few moments as I watch the car drive away and Putnam and Quinn jump into the pool. And as the fire licks up every part of this building, I pull out of my fanny pack that has been full of granola bars this entire time. And I pull out my phone, my other phone that is fully charged, given to me by some burnout loser. And I call 91 1. And I put on one last performance.

330
00:49:40.000 --> 00:49:42.000
<v Speaker D>Hello?

331
00:49:42.000 --> 00:50:00.000
<v Speaker B>There's two kids here, and they're stabbing everyone. And they're. And I hang up the phone. I throw the phone into the fire. I walk out the door as everyone else leaves and I just catch a bus.

332
00:50:00.000 --> 00:51:49.000
<v Speaker A>No one is going to forget the final party at the Rose Manor anytime soon, no matter how much they want to. And as the camera sort of moves to look at the moon, we hear the sound of sirens. Approaching the burning manor as you all head off in all of your different directions, completely changed by what happened tonight. And that is where we will end it.
