Welcome back to The Big Red Button, where the wasteland doesn't let you catch your breath, especially after you've pressed the button.

In this episode, the Stragglers emerge from the rubble of Mitten Point to face something none of them were ready for. With cages full of survivors scattered across the wreckage and the cultist threat seemingly behind them, the crew begins to pick up the pieces, until something ancient and terrible rises from the debris. What follows is a desperate, gut-wrenching fight that pushes Jake, Houston, and Gotfree to their absolute limits... and ends a chapter none of them will forget!

Episode Highlights:

A Grim Rescue: With wooden crates holding survivors scattered across the blast zone, the crew splits up to free the captives, and discovers just how organized and methodical the cult's operation truly was.

Rise of the Wendigo: Just when it seems the worst is over, something emerges from the rubble in shattered power armor and bone

What Jake Remembered: A spent luck point and a flashback to a conversation with Brotherhood initiates Pennington and Wellington just might be the key to defeating something nearly indestructible.

The Mind Battle: The Wendigo doesn't just fight with fists.

[REDACTED]: The moment this episode has been building toward. You'll want to hear it for yourself.

Notable Quotes:
"I think it's the Wendigo. I think he's real."
"You three have interfered for the last time."
"Are you hungry? I can take care of that. I can take care of you."
"You will not hurt any of my friends ever again."
"Friends here. Me here. Big world out. You smell like home. Like campfire. Like yesterday."
"I ran the statistics on that in approximately 0.003 seconds and I will keep them to myself."

 (Music)

[00:01:08;29 - 00:01:37;08]
William
 Hey everybody, welcome back to the Big Red Button. This is our tabletop role-playing game set in the Fallout universe where each week we push the proverbial Big Red Button of chaos. And in this instance, we actually push the Big Red Button on a nuke. Everybody, tip your hat and raise a glass to spoiler alert if you haven't seen the last episode, to honkin'.

[00:01:38;16 - 00:01:39;48]
William
 To honkin' everyone.

[00:01:39;48 - 00:01:41;57]
Dallas
 Tell honkin' them out for the homies.

[00:01:41;57 - 00:01:43;23]
William
 Three honks for honkin'.

[00:01:43;23 - 00:01:45;25]
Alex
 Honkin' honk.

[00:01:45;25 - 00:01:48;17]
 (Laughter)

[00:01:48;17 - 00:01:54;37]
Alex
 Everyone, if you're playing Untitled Goose Game, hit your dedicated honk button right now three separate times.

[00:01:54;37 - 00:02:08;03]
William
 Oh, I'll never be able to play that game the same again. Well, I am William. I have the immense pleasure of playing a neurotic British robot. I also play one inside of the game

[00:02:09;05 - 00:02:10;04]
William
 named Gottfried.

[00:02:11;10 - 00:02:20;53]
William
 We are also joined by the walking advertisement for Fallout Shelters and

[00:02:22;09 - 00:02:27;48]
William
 Sweet Baby Raised Beef Jerky, our super mutant, no, our ghoul, Houston.

[00:02:27;48 - 00:02:33;30]
William
 In many ways, I think I'm just my spirit animal is a sociopathic duck, so it kind of works.

[00:02:33;30 - 00:02:34;55]
William
 And our...

[00:02:37;22 - 00:02:45;02]
Alex
 Actual, it's like the before and after, like what not to do and what to do when it comes to vaults. That's the advertising.

[00:02:45;02 - 00:02:50;27]
Alex
 Do you want to look like this guy? Do you want to look like this guy?

[00:02:50;27 - 00:02:57;03]
William
 Ironically, ironically, when they say, "Do you want to look like this ugly mess?" they point to you, Mr.

[00:02:57;03 - 00:03:25;47]
Alex
 Winger. Whoa. See, do you... You know, I don't know if you remember this, but I, Jake, got to see a lot of infomercials in the vault that I grew up in. And there was always one guy that was trying to put away, I believe it was called, rubberware. I'm making up a new term, that way we don't get sued. And the rubberware would never fit in the cabinet the right way, and it would just all spill out over his face. And it was like, "Ah, I don't know how to stack things." That's you in this case. And it was like, "Ah, I don't know how

[00:03:25;47 - 00:03:26;55]
Speaker 10
 to get inside."

[00:03:26;55 - 00:03:32;13]
Alex
 And then I'm the guy that just has the stackable one, where all the lids...

[00:03:32;13 - 00:03:37;46]
Dallas
 And rubberware is made out of tupper, right? Yes, exactly.

[00:03:39;28 - 00:03:43;54]
William
 It was actually made from the bones of my friend, Tupper. It was quite tragic.

[00:03:43;54 - 00:03:54;32]
William
 We are also joined by Alex, who plays our sweet, naive, delicate spring flower, Jake Winger.

[00:03:56;38 - 00:04:09;39]
Alex
 See, I'm like the spring flower that got trampled on a little bit, and then I was like, "See, I got moved from the nice Home Depot pot, and then got put out in radioactive waste."

[00:04:09;39 - 00:04:15;42]
William
 And now I'm like, "I don't know what to do." So you went from Home Depot to Lowe's? No, no, the other way around.

[00:04:15;42 - 00:04:21;47]
Alex
 Lowe's is the good place. Lowe's is the good place. Home Depot is the bad place. And we have...

[00:04:23;46 - 00:04:30;52]
Alex
 Lowe's is Target. Home Depot is Walmart. Anyone who's listening will know exactly what I mean by that.

[00:04:32;51 - 00:04:38;32]
William
 As someone who's been to a Lowe's grocery store, you know, it gets a little... I have as well.

[00:04:38;32 - 00:04:39;50]
Speaker 11
 A Lowe's.

[00:04:39;50 - 00:04:45;06]
Alex
 Which confused me immensely when I moved to North Carolina. I was like, "Let's go to Lowe's for groceries."

[00:04:45;06 - 00:04:45;33]
Alex
 And I was like...

[00:04:47;12 - 00:04:48;44]
Alex
 And get two by fours?

[00:04:50;35 - 00:04:52;50]
William
 Side note for people not in the know.

[00:04:53;51 - 00:05:01;55]
William
 Lowe's was run by two brothers, and they owned a grocery store chain and a hardware store chain. And one brother took the grocery store chain.

[00:05:01;55 - 00:05:03;09]
Alex
 Excuse me, is this real?

[00:05:03;09 - 00:05:07;48]
William
 Took the grocery store chain, and one took the hardware store chain, and one got immensely more successful.

[00:05:08;48 - 00:05:10;40]
Dallas
 I did not know this was a thing.

[00:05:10;40 - 00:05:17;50]
William
 Well, and our assistant to the regional manager of this Lowe's grocery store,

[00:05:19;04 - 00:05:26;37]
William
 the one who thinks that he's in charge and really is in charge of all of this chaos, our game master, Dallas McKinney.

[00:05:26;37 - 00:05:30;54]
William
 How many lens caps will be open today, Dallas?

[00:05:30;54 - 00:05:35;29]
Alex
 Who's to say? How many lens caps does it take to get to the center of a tootie pop? One,

[00:05:35;29 - 00:05:40;49]
Alex
 two... It's just teeth breaking off. The world will never know.

[00:05:40;49 - 00:05:43;18]
Alex
 Do robots have teeth?

[00:05:44;23 - 00:05:46;04]
William
 We better question. We can give them teeth.

[00:05:46;04 - 00:05:57;56]
Dallas
 Welcome to lens captors. Lens captors. Yes, lens captors. This story, this whole game has been run by first gen AI because that's all that my brain is. Just

[00:05:59;05 - 00:05:59;43]
Dallas
 the first one.

[00:05:59;43 - 00:06:04;40]
William
 As I've said before, you're the most human brain among us.

[00:06:06;17 - 00:06:10;25]
William
 No AI can be that brain. It's true. This is true.

[00:06:10;25 - 00:06:14;03]
Alex
 All right, Dallas. Which actually scares me more knowing that.

[00:06:16;41 - 00:06:19;57]
William
 If it's chat GPT versus Dallas, my money's on Dallas.

[00:06:19;57 - 00:06:43;38]
Dallas
 Got to keep them guessing. You got to get to weird first. So we last last we left off. You guys had gotten in a fight, one, and then we're going to be completely overrun by a huge mob of cultist cannibals.

[00:06:44;41 - 00:07:11;14]
Dallas
 You thought on your feet, you found a mini nuke launcher that was in disrepair and got free, put on the show of his life and got it was in. It confused and stalled the cultists long enough. Terrified them. We're calling it. What is it? Care of them away

[00:07:12;35 - 00:07:33;29]
Dallas
 until they realized a wrong guy and pay back. But you, you were saved from the, uh, the cultist mob by a single solitary sacrifice from one of the seven now six brothers who, who gave his life so that way you guys may live.

[00:07:37;28 - 00:07:38;34]
Dallas
 Rest in peace.

[00:07:40;44 - 00:07:44;12]
Dallas
 It's more of Adams at this point, probably not really pieces.

[00:07:47;07 - 00:07:47;35]
Dallas
 Uh,

[00:07:52;38 - 00:08:40;14]
Dallas
 and so you, uh, Godfrey, uh, went scouting ahead because you guys thought you heard Christ for help. Uh, and as he scouted ahead and we did. Oh, oh, it looks like there were probably people. Being used as, as meat at some point that had been left in cages. Uh, and now that there's no one left, at least no, no cultists, uh, they're still trapped in their cages in the shambles of what's left of midpoint post explosion. And you guys are on the outskirts of. Mitten points and there's just lots of destruction fires and just trash everywhere. And that is where I leave guys.

[00:08:40;14 - 00:08:46;20]
William
 If any of the cannibals survive, they would definitely show us our middle middle middle middle finger. That's true.

[00:08:47;32 - 00:08:49;04]
William
 I, um,

[00:08:50;41 - 00:09:12;59]
William
 all right. Um, of those that are currently held captive, are there any that are near buildings that look like they're about to collapse like this or, um, I don't know, are there children or their elderly? Like, can I see if I can perceive who is the most vulnerable and in need of attention?

[00:09:14;42 - 00:09:32;34]
Dallas
 Uh, it's hard to tell at this point because they are, I mean, they're scattered everywhere. There's some behind buildings, but it does look like the large majority of them were up into your left. Uh, that's where at least you can hear and see, see like hands and fingers poking out of the cages

[00:09:33;35 - 00:09:34;30]
Dallas
 on that side.

[00:09:34;30 - 00:09:40;10]
William
 Oh, so these, these are more like, like wooden crates and not iron barred cages.

[00:09:40;10 - 00:09:45;48]
Dallas
 Oh yeah. They're just wooden crates that they were using to just transport them back and forth.

[00:09:45;48 - 00:09:50;29]
William
 Um, I, I would like to go up to the nearest one and see if I can open it.

[00:09:51;34 - 00:09:51;50]
Speaker 11
 Okay.

[00:09:51;50 - 00:09:55;00]
Dallas
 I will need some rolls

[00:09:56;25 - 00:09:56;48]
Dallas
 from

[00:09:56;48 - 00:10:01;34]
William
 any of them dressed like a clown because I'm getting some real in vibes.

[00:10:03;08 - 00:10:05;06]
William
 They're in wooden crates. We don't know.

[00:10:06;29 - 00:10:16;14]
Dallas
 Um, I don't, there are no clowns yet. I'll need you to roll a strength and I'll, we'll use the rock, the lock pick for you. Got free

[00:10:16;14 - 00:10:20;56]
William
 strength and lock pick. Yes.

[00:10:20;56 - 00:10:22;33]
Dallas
 Uh, no, we'll do agility and lock pick.

[00:10:22;33 - 00:10:30;10]
William
 I have, um, I have a seven in agility and a six in lock pick. So I need 13 or lower. Gotcha.

[00:10:32;21 - 00:10:33;35]
William
 Oh, and I got a 15.

[00:10:33;35 - 00:10:34;07]
Dallas
 Oh,

[00:10:35;50 - 00:10:36;44]
Dallas
 so close.

[00:10:36;44 - 00:10:38;52]
William
 Okay. 11 11.

[00:10:38;52 - 00:10:39;25]
Speaker 11
 All right.

[00:10:39;25 - 00:10:40;34]
Dallas
 So you

[00:10:40;34 - 00:10:43;03]
Speaker 10
 throw straw, throw straw, throw straw.

[00:10:43;03 - 00:11:02;12]
Dallas
 You put your, no one did it. Bendley little claws inside of the locking mechanism on the outside of this great derivative, but to go on, it pops loose and you're able to pull, uh, what under all the muck, Mert, dirt and mud, uh, is an elderly man

[00:11:03;32 - 00:11:04;33]
Dallas
 inside of this cage.

[00:11:06;46 - 00:11:10;05]
William
 Hello, sir. Sir, are you, are you all right? Can you hear me?

[00:11:12;17 - 00:11:33;03]
Speaker 12
 I'm a little shaken up. We were all waiting to be eaten and then all of a sudden there was a giant explosion and it looked like the sun came up and it just threw us all about. But, uh, it looked like we weren't going to get eaten, but we thought we were going to be trapped to starve to death inside of these cages. I'm so glad you guys.

[00:11:33;03 - 00:11:38;49]
Speaker 13
 All I can hear right now is the shrimp telling us true story from, from a shark tail.

[00:11:41;54 - 00:11:45;53]
Speaker 13
 My sister had a baby and I took it over and she passed

[00:11:45;53 - 00:11:49;37]
William
 away with the baby. I was thinking of the

[00:11:50;59 - 00:11:53;50]
William
 old man journalist from gravity falls.

[00:11:57;29 - 00:11:59;10]
Alex
 My pancreas.

[00:11:59;10 - 00:11:59;31]
William
 It's true.

[00:12:00;53 - 00:12:06;46]
William
 Well, sir, as you can see, I have no desire to consume your flesh. Let me help you out of this box.

[00:12:08;15 - 00:12:10;36]
Speaker 12
 Why thank you, young robot man.

[00:12:11;48 - 00:12:17;47]
William
 You're quite a polka. Do you have any wounds that need tinting to? Are you all right? Can you stand?

[00:12:19;05 - 00:12:20;59]
William
 He's older than me, by the way. I

[00:12:23;11 - 00:12:38;39]
Speaker 12
 think I'm fine, but I'll help you to check on the rest of these guys. There was a key on the, on the leader there. He's the one that was in charge of getting us out of our cages, usually for the, you know, the butchering and such.

[00:12:40;00 - 00:12:49;12]
William
 There was, there was a key on that, that lead, uh, the butcher here was make his way in the new tool, the gate, uh, with the ruckus.

[00:12:49;12 - 00:13:08;03]
Speaker 12
 He did. And whatever we saw moving, we, we all just kind of got in the corner of our cages, but, uh, I'm pretty sure the explosion took care of him. So if you, you could find his key, it would make it faster, but, but I'll, I'll work on just trying to Jimmy the, the locks over here.

[00:13:08;03 - 00:13:09;09]
William
 Oh,

[00:13:10;18 - 00:13:13;05]
William
 right. Um, as I have both,

[00:13:13;05 - 00:13:20;19]
Alex
 how are you going to Jimmy the lock? If you only have one arm, what happened to your other arm? So, uh, it's just like

[00:13:20;19 - 00:13:36;03]
Speaker 12
 a stuff. Yeah. They, they perfected the art of, of just using us a little bit at a time. They were pretty good about at least using, you know, antiseptic stuff to keep us from getting infected. They said the infection made the meat taste bad.

[00:13:37;54 - 00:13:39;58]
William
 I very, very hygienic.

[00:13:39;58 - 00:13:48;11]
William
 I will take your word for it. Um, all right. Um, master McKinley and master winger will tend to you. I would like to, um,

[00:13:48;11 - 00:13:51;07]
Alex
 no, no, no, I want to go look for the key. I can't go.

[00:13:51;07 - 00:13:54;50]
Speaker 12
 I'm literally the only spot. My arm. Just let me know.

[00:13:54;50 - 00:13:57;52]
Alex
 I'm, I'm literally the only smooth skin here.

[00:13:57;52 - 00:13:58;17]
William
 I'm

[00:14:02;50 - 00:14:05;47]
William
 probably the one that should go do it.

[00:14:07;03 - 00:14:14;21]
Dallas
 It reminds me of the unity thing where he's like, the guy didn't have an arm and he was like, really? How far up? And he's like here, here, here.

[00:14:14;21 - 00:14:15;37]
Speaker 14
 He's like, oh, the other arm.

[00:14:16;42 - 00:14:20;15]
Speaker 14
 Yeah.

[00:14:22;11 - 00:14:24;11]
Dallas
 So, so what are your, what's the play fellas?

[00:14:25;12 - 00:14:25;36]
William
 I

[00:14:27;29 - 00:14:37;03]
William
 would speed things up and must McKinley is horribly wounded in Jake is susceptible to radiation. So I should probably go look for the key.

[00:14:38;27 - 00:14:39;37]
Alex
 Horribly wounded.

[00:14:40;58 - 00:14:42;41]
Alex
 You're more wounded than he is.

[00:14:43;44 - 00:14:46;29]
Alex
 You have a six and I, and I have nothing.

[00:14:46;29 - 00:14:48;47]
William
 I'll, I'll go find the

[00:14:48;47 - 00:14:51;33]
Dallas
 guy for you are at four health points.

[00:14:51;33 - 00:14:52;29]
William
 Oh, dear.

[00:14:54;31 - 00:14:55;09]
William
 Out of,

[00:14:57;34 - 00:14:58;56]
Dallas
 uh, you have four out of 10.

[00:14:58;56 - 00:15:00;51]
William
 Who? All right. Um,

[00:15:02;10 - 00:15:03;38]
William
 okay. Who's looking for the key?

[00:15:03;38 - 00:15:05;02]
William
 I'll go look for the key.

[00:15:05;02 - 00:15:12;05]
William
 While you're doing that, I will hover over to the nearest to the next box and attempt to help another victim.

[00:15:12;05 - 00:15:25;14]
Alex
 I, I want to go walk over to like, I see there's often the distance. Maybe are those like huts where the cannibals had been living, like living quarters. Is that what that is off in the distance?

[00:15:25;14 - 00:15:26;17]
Dallas
 It looks like it might've been.

[00:15:26;17 - 00:15:31;07]
Alex
 Yes. I want to start to meander more into their camp. Okay.

[00:15:31;07 - 00:15:31;37]
Alex
 All right.

[00:15:31;37 - 00:15:38;24]
Alex
 I think I see like I, I, right now with the devastation with the,

[00:15:39;25 - 00:15:50;32]
Alex
 just the human loss around me. I, I'm just overwhelmed. I can't process and I'm just stumbling. I wouldn't say aimlessly, but just like

[00:15:51;37 - 00:16:27;10]
Alex
 I'm frozen, right? Yeah. You know, like it's just too much for me to process and off to the right over here. I just see what looks like sleeping arrangements and I just, it's part of like this hatred has come over me or I'm like, how can anyone be this evil? I just want to see like, it's this like morbid curiosity of how are these people so evil living? How are they, you know? And so I just start to explore. I want to, I want to investigate this right in front of me.

[00:16:27;10 - 00:16:27;28]
Speaker 11
 Okay.

[00:16:27;28 - 00:16:29;37]
Dallas
 So are you going to do some roles?

[00:16:32;14 - 00:16:44;26]
Alex
 I will. What do I need to roll for perception and I need a perception survivor. Yes. Okay. So that will be an eight or lower.

[00:16:52;44 - 00:17:38;23]
Dallas
 So as you look around this area, it does look like at least part of this might've been some sort of a living arrangements for obviously not for the, the cattle as they had sometimes referred to the people in the cages. So this does look like where the cultists would have stayed and it is very sparse, very Spartan arrangements. They, there's not a lot of personal belongings in what you can find and everything looks very the same. Every bed looks almost exactly the same. There are no personal effects in what you're looking for. All the clothes look very the same, even though the leather looks like it's made out of different

[00:17:39;35 - 00:17:40;25]
Dallas
 people

[00:17:41;33 - 00:17:43;57]
Dallas
 that was probably processed.

[00:17:45;04 - 00:17:56;40]
Dallas
 And, and, and every one of these, you see either on the clothing or on a different paraphernalia that you find that the same

[00:17:58;29 - 00:18:27;29]
Dallas
 antlers that you guys saw on the back of the initial set of clothing on the first cultist that you ran into. So they are all the same and it is the same clothing, the same markings all over the place. So it does look like this. This is where they are practicing some sort of pretty in-depth religion together. A lot of collectiveness in what it is that you're finding.

[00:18:27;29 - 00:18:34;10]
Alex
 So I just kind of use my foot to kick around some of the belongings, you know, just like using your toe to

[00:18:35;16 - 00:18:40;00]
Alex
 lift sheets and kick over a pillow that's made of like

[00:18:41;07 - 00:18:42;04]
Alex
 straw.

[00:18:43;31 - 00:19:05;54]
Alex
 And I've just got, I'm, I'm disgusted and I just feel this like anger boiling up and I see a helmet on the ground and I walk over and I just kick it as hard as I can. And I'm going to roll a one and I broke my toe and that's actually where Viggo Mortensen broke his toe in real life.

[00:19:09;41 - 00:19:12;47]
Alex
 And that scream was a real scream. I'm sorry.

[00:19:12;47 - 00:19:21;22]
William
 The entire of the rings franchise was a giant tabletop role playing game. It was rolling dice. I'm sorry. I had to do that.

[00:19:22;29 - 00:19:27;13]
William
 On to on on screen and that determined the outcomes.

[00:19:27;13 - 00:19:28;58]
Speaker 14
 No,

[00:19:30;20 - 00:19:32;29]
Speaker 14
 I seriously though,

[00:19:33;36 - 00:20:07;08]
Alex
 I'm just, I'm kind of walking around. I've got my like hands just, I keep touching my face because it's too much. I'm like clenching my hands back and forth, just like holding myself because it's too much. Like I'm the only edible person here. And there's this overwhelming dread because they don't want to eat anyone but me. And I feel this extreme sense of empathy, but it's too much at the same time. You know what I mean? Like it's just, I can't.

[00:20:07;08 - 00:20:12;17]
William
 It turns out we find out, we find out that the cannibals think he's too pathetic.

[00:20:14;20 - 00:20:16;35]
Dallas
 So Houston, what are you doing?

[00:20:16;35 - 00:20:24;42]
William
 I'm going to go check. I want to go check for the key. Yes. At this point. So did I find the key?

[00:20:24;42 - 00:20:28;05]
Dallas
 I need you to do some rolling for me.

[00:20:30;49 - 00:20:32;42]
Dallas
 I need you to roll

[00:20:33;50 - 00:20:37;35]
Dallas
 a perception and I need you to roll

[00:20:38;38 - 00:20:39;37]
Dallas
 a survival.

[00:20:40;57 - 00:20:47;47]
Dallas
 Your perceptions of two. So you need a one or a two, a four and a three. You're close.

[00:20:49;24 - 00:20:53;23]
Dallas
 As you're looking through the rubble and the detritus, you have found a lot of,

[00:20:55;03 - 00:21:02;59]
Dallas
 of burnt skin, burnt pieces that look like it's from the blast. But along, I find

[00:21:02;59 - 00:21:10;39]
William
 keys, but they're on the jet. They're on like, there's janitor key rings and there's like one of like 800 different keys.

[00:21:10;39 - 00:21:26;19]
Dallas
 It's the plastic keys for children. That's it. No, you find like charred remains from the explosion mixed with what looks like nod bones and other discarded

[00:21:27;58 - 00:21:33;56]
Dallas
 different pieces of human that does not look like it was from the blast. As you're looking at, do I,

[00:21:35;26 - 00:21:37;12]
William
 do I see anything that

[00:21:38;42 - 00:21:40;08]
William
 would tell me that's honking?

[00:21:40;08 - 00:21:41;27]
Dallas
 No.

[00:21:42;36 - 00:21:45;45]
Alex
 There's no, oh, he's, he's smithereens.

[00:21:45;45 - 00:21:52;53]
Dallas
 He is probably atomized. If I would, if I was, if I was a betting man, which I am, I would say

[00:21:52;53 - 00:21:58;18]
Alex
 now he might also be blue now and live on Mars, but

[00:22:00;48 - 00:22:03;08]
Alex
 that is a very, very small chance.

[00:22:03;08 - 00:22:27;21]
Dallas
 Just saying. So you have not found anything, but you continue searching and you're watching kind of down the road into the lift. The old man scurrying about trying to pop locks open and he's, he's doing an okay job. And that is where the majority of the Christ for help. And you hear a lot of shaking of bars and stuff coming from is that side Godfrey.

[00:22:28;36 - 00:22:28;56]
Dallas
 Yes.

[00:22:28;56 - 00:22:36;31]
William
 I, as Houston went to look for the key, I was helping him to open boxes and free captives.

[00:22:36;31 - 00:22:46;07]
Dallas
 Yes. So you're also popping locks and, and using your solid when possible to cut open

[00:22:47;55 - 00:22:56;04]
Dallas
 said boxes and pulling people out and, and helping it. It seems like most of them are at least ambulatory and they are also jumping in and helping

[00:22:57;14 - 00:23:05;39]
Dallas
 pull people out as well. And you've gotten pretty good at opening up these crates and it does seem like there are quite a few where you are, but

[00:23:07;42 - 00:23:10;22]
Dallas
 I'm going to need everybody to give me a role.

[00:23:10;22 - 00:23:13;27]
William
 Roll for what can we at least know

[00:23:13;27 - 00:23:15;44]
Dallas
 this will be a perception

[00:23:17;06 - 00:23:25;49]
William
 and oh dear. Okay. I need 13. Again,

[00:23:27;21 - 00:23:30;22]
William
 well, wait, my,

[00:23:31;51 - 00:23:39;47]
William
 my perceptions of seven and my survival is a two. Yes, I would.

[00:23:39;47 - 00:23:42;23]
Alex
 What from each of us or everybody?

[00:23:44;13 - 00:23:48;55]
Alex
 Okay. I've got a five and a

[00:23:50;07 - 00:23:54;39]
Alex
 three. Oh, Houston's rolling now. I guess. All right. Cool. I think we all everybody can roll.

[00:23:54;39 - 00:23:58;13]
Dallas
 Yeah, you can all roll on it. It logs it. So I can see

[00:24:00;08 - 00:24:02;38]
Alex
 an 18 for Houston.

[00:24:02;38 - 00:24:04;36]
William
 My eyes out gouged out

[00:24:04;36 - 00:24:06;13]
Alex
 and

[00:24:06;13 - 00:24:12;33]
Dallas
 six. What do you need? His perceptions to his survival is zero. So zero.

[00:24:12;33 - 00:24:17;24]
Alex
 Okay. Here we go. So I need an eight or lower.

[00:24:19;50 - 00:24:20;04]
Speaker 10
 Oh,

[00:24:21;41 - 00:24:22;41]
Speaker 10
 it didn't show up.

[00:24:22;41 - 00:24:25;40]
Alex
 No, I had a five. Dang it.

[00:24:27;24 - 00:24:28;10]
Speaker 14
 Oh, come on.

[00:24:28;10 - 00:24:31;36]
Alex
 Had to re reroll. It didn't show up. Oh no.

[00:24:31;36 - 00:24:31;59]
Dallas
 Come

[00:24:32;59 - 00:24:36;15]
Dallas
 on, come on, come on, come on. We'll take the other one. This one is.

[00:24:38;23 - 00:24:40;43]
Alex
 That's an action point too. It is an action point.

[00:24:44;17 - 00:24:56;43]
Dallas
 Giving you an action point reluctantly. So Houston and Godfrey hear us here. What sounds like a building almost like a building coming down

[00:24:57;53 - 00:24:59;01]
Dallas
 and screams.

[00:25:14;22 - 00:25:33;28]
Dallas
 You look over and out of the rubble. The side where the older man was pulling people out of cages across the road from you fairly far away from all of you did the edge of perception. Something rising out of the rubble.

[00:25:34;38 - 00:25:37;36]
Dallas
 And what you see first are antlers are.

[00:25:38;36 - 00:25:59;07]
Dallas
 And then you see just what looks like a just mangled. It's got patches of skin gore on it. Skull of a red deer or some sort of deer. It looks almost way too old and different to be a red

[00:26:00;18 - 00:26:20;08]
Dallas
 stag. So this this almost looks like it predates the bombs dropping and just. But as it's coming up out of the rubble, you also see bones and just meat hanging off of the body of whatever this is. But then you hear a whirring sound.

[00:26:21;15 - 00:26:38;14]
Dallas
 And as it rises completely and pulls itself out of the rubble, you see what looks like power armor underneath of all of this blood and gore and detritus of this creature.

[00:26:38;14 - 00:26:40;51]
William
 What was it? Was it real?

[00:26:40;51 - 00:26:47;48]
Dallas
 And so the creature, whatever this is, gets up, stumbles a little bit and

[00:26:48;49 - 00:27:00;32]
Dallas
 all you see is the old man fly across the road into the rubble on the other side where Jake was doing his searching.

[00:27:00;32 - 00:27:16;26]
Alex
 I watch a body just ragdoll into a crate in front of me, the wood splinters, and the man looks up at me with pleading eyes. I stumble backwards because of the force of him landing in front of me.

[00:27:17;36 - 00:27:18;14]
Alex
 Guys,

[00:27:21;14 - 00:27:24;42]
Alex
 I think it's the Wendigo.

[00:27:25;42 - 00:27:26;37]
Alex
 I think he's real.

[00:27:28;06 - 00:27:28;16]
William
 That

[00:27:29;26 - 00:27:30;46]
William
 was something from mythology.

[00:27:30;46 - 00:27:31;04]
Alex
 I

[00:27:32;35 - 00:27:42;04]
Alex
 thought you were going to tell me that thing in front of us that just threw a person is a myth. You three

[00:27:42;04 - 00:27:47;19]
Super Mutant
 have interfered for the last time.

[00:27:47;19 - 00:28:05;28]
Dallas
 And so you see him in his bone covered metal fists punch through another crate, drag someone out, and throw them forcefully at Godfrey.

[00:28:06;46 - 00:28:08;37]
Dallas
 Godfrey, I'm going to need you to make a roll.

[00:28:08;37 - 00:28:08;53]
William
 Okay,

[00:28:10;11 - 00:28:14;12]
William
 agility to duck out of the way. Okay, all right.

[00:28:14;12 - 00:28:18;29]
Dallas
 So this is an agility. We'll do agility and athletic.

[00:28:19;51 - 00:28:22;28]
William
 Yeah, well, it doesn't really matter. I got to 20. Oh, boy.

[00:28:22;28 - 00:28:24;57]
Dallas
 Okay, so you take

[00:28:25;58 - 00:28:36;33]
Dallas
 the full force of the body that was thrown at you square in the middle of your caramels and it knocks you to the ground and you do lose a few health to health points.

[00:28:38;23 - 00:28:39;29]
William
 I'm down to two.

[00:28:42;04 - 00:28:52;10]
Dallas
 So Godfrey is down. He's spittering sputtering. Smoke is pouring out. Now, I'm going to need Jake

[00:28:53;18 - 00:28:57;50]
Dallas
 and Houston to give me another perception and survival role.

[00:28:59;00 - 00:29:00;12]
Alex
 You should roll the two.

[00:29:00;12 - 00:29:02;59]
Speaker 13
 Oh, another two.

[00:29:02;59 - 00:30:10;56]
Dallas
 Two successes at a boy. So Houston rolled two twos. Okay, so Houston, because he kind of nobody threw anything at Houston, so he is still kind of focused solely on the creature that you guys have not really been able to identify yet. And so as he's looking, he is gigantic. He's ominous. He is just covered in rattling bones and just all kinds of leather and different things. But underneath of it, it still looks like it is just actually old generation power armor. And it also looks like it is horrifically damaged because if you guys recall, he was standing fairly close to the blast. When it went off. So he, yes, this was was most likely the shape that turned the tide of the horde. And so he is as he's standing, he is also shaking quite a bit because it does look like the power armor is not fairing well. And if you look very closely,

[00:30:11;59 - 00:30:13;38]
Dallas
 which Houston has

[00:30:14;59 - 00:30:16;27]
Dallas
 the the

[00:30:17;30 - 00:30:38;14]
Dallas
 skull is over what looks like a person's head and it does not look like there is a helmet underneath of the ceremonial window go head. So the only thing between that person and the rest of the world is the bones of the window go.

[00:30:40;22 - 00:30:40;45]
William
 Would

[00:30:42;11 - 00:30:49;45]
William
 would they have made that like voice without the helmet? Who's to say who's to say anyway? So

[00:30:50;46 - 00:30:54;36]
William
 action points can be and where do I see my action points?

[00:30:56;29 - 00:31:01;10]
Dallas
 You have them. It's a group pool and they're sick.

[00:31:01;10 - 00:31:03;36]
William
 There are six. OK, and I have three lock points.

[00:31:05;34 - 00:31:06;21]
Dallas
 You do, yes.

[00:31:10;18 - 00:31:18;11]
Dallas
 So action points you can use to do different things. Action points can be used

[00:31:20;08 - 00:31:29;40]
Dallas
 to add extra damage so you can add extra damage. Nice. Take extra major action. Take an extra minor action. You can get information.

[00:31:30;41 - 00:31:39;37]
Dallas
 You can buy D20. So if like this is an extra risky role, sometimes you have to roll more than one D20 to be successful. And that's how you do that

[00:31:40;43 - 00:31:42;29]
Dallas
 or to reduce time.

[00:31:44;03 - 00:31:45;49]
William
 OK, and then the luck points.

[00:31:47;28 - 00:31:48;18]
William
 What do they do again?

[00:31:48;18 - 00:32:26;01]
Dallas
 So luck points, you can spend a luck point to introduce a helpful factor detail. It doesn't have to be a full thing like that. I can't lie, but also don't have to tell you everything. You can spend a luck point before you attempt a skill test and use your luck skill level instead of something else. Lucky timing. So at the start of any round, you can jump your initiative. You can go. You can go first if you want. Now you don't get to go twice, but you can go first. Or you can also reroll dice in a dice pool by spinning luck points as well.

[00:32:26;01 - 00:32:36;55]
William
 So I know the 20 was a critical failure, so there's no rerolling that one. No. OK. Yeah. But if I'd gotten like an 18 and a 19, I could have spent a look point

[00:32:36;55 - 00:32:41;20]
Dallas
 and reroll. Yes, you could reroll one of those per luck. Yes.

[00:32:42;39 - 00:32:43;15]
William
 OK, gotcha.

[00:32:44;30 - 00:33:06;19]
Dallas
 So Houston rolls a two. And that is what gives him all of that information about what he sees. So this is a giant creature of some kind. Obviously, there is power armor involved, but it does look like he is not doing as well as maybe he would like for everyone to perceive.

[00:33:08;03 - 00:33:10;33]
William
 Is there any thing

[00:33:11;34 - 00:33:17;33]
William
 like a critical spot that is leaking like a point of failure?

[00:33:17;33 - 00:33:18;42]
William
 Uncovered head.

[00:33:19;55 - 00:33:24;56]
William
 It's just more bone on bone. Master winger, don't you have some sort of projectile?

[00:33:24;56 - 00:33:28;10]
William
 OK, I also have a projectile weapon.

[00:33:29;24 - 00:33:36;50]
William
 You do. I do. I have a 38. I pull it out and I aim straight for the head.

[00:33:36;50 - 00:33:44;25]
William
 Well, we haven't been locked in combat yet, have we? Or is that ominous threat like him saying, come at me, brother?

[00:33:44;25 - 00:33:51;47]
Dallas
 If you want to initiate combat, we can definitely initiate. I'm going for it. I'm going to shoot him ahead. All right. So I'm going to need you.

[00:33:51;47 - 00:34:25;52]
Alex
 Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Before you do that, you. We know the Brotherhood of Steel and I recognize that that outline. I want to and I rolled a one. So that's where the spark. Oh, that's right. I know what he what that is, right? Yeah. So I have that like recollection of like that is the armor that we've seen. And I want to think back to when we met those other the the Brotherhood initiates that we were talking to on the road. Remember,

[00:34:27;40 - 00:34:28;40]
Alex
 what were their names?

[00:34:30;04 - 00:34:31;19]
Dallas
 It's been a long time

[00:34:31;19 - 00:34:32;06]
William
 in Wellington.

[00:34:33;32 - 00:34:39;22]
William
 Yes, well, in Pennington had the New Zealand accent. Wellington did not. Yes. OK.

[00:34:39;22 - 00:34:46;15]
Alex
 I want to think back to conversations with them. Oh boy. A flashback moment again. Editing where I'm going to do the ripple.

[00:34:46;15 - 00:34:47;56]
William
 Thank you very much. I want to think back.

[00:34:49;26 - 00:34:50;16]
William
 This is a callback.

[00:34:50;16 - 00:34:51;32]
Speaker 11
 Yes.

[00:34:51;32 - 00:35:28;42]
Alex
 I want to think back if I had a conversation with them about any like weaknesses in the armor or issues that they were having when they were scribes taking care of their night. I want to think of any weaknesses that I would know about from conversations with them or from things that I had learned in the vault. Can I can I roll to rack my brain for that? I'll let you roll. I'll let you spend a luck point. I'm going to spend a luck point on that. Yes. Since that I have three luck points right now and I have a five in luck.

[00:35:28;42 - 00:35:31;26]
William
 Yes. Do I have any luck points?

[00:35:31;26 - 00:35:34;43]
Dallas
 You do. You have five. As well.

[00:35:36;33 - 00:35:52;51]
Dallas
 Jake has three of his five. So that. Wait, wait, wait. Yes. And so I will I will give you a flashback sequence to give you some information, but you're going to have to burn a luck point, which brings you down to just two luck points. Mr. Winger. Mr. Winger.

[00:35:54;07 - 00:36:18;15]
Alex
 Right, right. So I rack my brain going back to Pennington and Wellington who hit the New Zealand X. If you recall, I did. Did I have did while we were walking with them, did they give us any information that could tell us about weak points before Houston decides to shoot at this thing willy nilly?

[00:36:19;18 - 00:36:34;33]
Dallas
 Okay, so you you are recalling and use the luck point. So I can give you details. So if you recall, as they were getting ready to get back into their vertibird, they're the

[00:36:36;14 - 00:36:40;20]
Dallas
 fusion core that that powers armor.

[00:36:41;50 - 00:37:08;11]
Dallas
 We've started to fail on on the gentleman in his power armor. So one of the guys helping him out had had pulled it out and was replacing it with a new one. And in doing so, they they talked about how that was a fairly fragile a transition point. And also they had to be very careful handling those fusion cores because if something happened to those

[00:37:09;28 - 00:37:25;36]
Dallas
 explosions can occur and they're very violent. So they they see into the armor and also are very volatile. And I am going to need you to if you want more information. Okay, I need another luck point burned.

[00:37:27;13 - 00:37:34;37]
Dallas
 Let's do it. Yes. Okay. So I'm going to you're down to one. All right. So also you feel in lucky.

[00:37:35;40 - 00:37:44;57]
Dallas
 And you're just endeavors in in your learnings in the vault. But but hold on. Hold on. Yes. Can we back up a little bit?

[00:37:44;57 - 00:37:47;34]
Alex
 You do the voices for Pennington and Wellington.

[00:37:47;34 - 00:37:49;41]
Dallas
 I was trying to avoid that. So

[00:37:49;41 - 00:37:52;14]
Alex
 that's the whole point of why I brought them back up.

[00:37:52;14 - 00:37:58;41]
Dallas
 I know. And I was anticipating having to do those voices today. And so I tried to avoid it.

[00:37:58;41 - 00:38:05;21]
Alex
 So in the water. I spent a luck point on this. I deserve to dance

[00:38:05;21 - 00:38:10;12]
Speaker 11
 monkey dance. Yeah. All right.

[00:38:10;12 - 00:38:13;08]
Dallas
 You're down to one luck point and I'm gonna wait.

[00:38:13;08 - 00:38:15;10]
Speaker 13
 But you gotta get you're not going to give me the voice.

[00:38:16;56 - 00:38:21;33]
Dallas
 I'm going to make sure that you regret spending this many luck points at one time.

[00:38:21;33 - 00:38:26;23]
Alex
 I spent two luck points. You don't say game. Yeah.

[00:38:26;23 - 00:38:52;09]
Alex
 So as you were watching. Oh, I'm sorry. Only got freezalatas sass the game master and break the fourth wall. Pardon me. Oh, are there listeners present? Oh my goodness. Hey guys, do you think Dallas should do the voices? Hold on. Let's wait door the Explorer style. Wait for it. If you think that Dallas should do the voices say yes, Dallas. Yes. Wait for it. I can't hear you.

[00:38:53;54 - 00:38:54;49]
Speaker 13
 Oh wow.

[00:38:54;49 - 00:38:59;42]
Alex
 That was really good audience. Somehow I think this is making your case worse.

[00:39:01;00 - 00:39:06;42]
Dallas
 I think we should do. That was really good audience. Anytime we do rolls. There's not gonna be a roll sounds, but I do want to say that.

[00:39:12;43 - 00:39:12;55]
Dallas
 Yeah.

[00:39:12;55 - 00:39:20;10]
Alex
 Yeah. Yeah. Do you see any clues? Swiper no swiping.

[00:39:20;10 - 00:39:25;11]
William
 Watch out that the, we find out that the Wendigo is actually Steve. Yeah.

[00:39:26;24 - 00:39:27;40]
William
 Oh, that's where he went.

[00:39:27;40 - 00:39:30;17]
Dallas
 He scadood in here 200 years ago.

[00:39:30;17 - 00:39:34;09]
Alex
 Nick Jr. Corporate lawyers are coming after us hard.

[00:39:37;52 - 00:39:45;31]
Alex
 Wait, no. Are you going to tell me that all of the feral dogs that we had to fight was that blue?

[00:39:46;33 - 00:39:49;53]
Alex
 No, it was blue. Ian bingo.

[00:39:49;53 - 00:39:51;31]
Speaker 13
 Nope.

[00:39:52;44 - 00:39:54;14]
Speaker 11
 Nope. Nope. Nope.

[00:39:54;14 - 00:39:56;47]
Alex
 It was the whole healer family out there.

[00:39:56;47 - 00:40:01;13]
Dallas
 That's gonna be a different part of a quest

[00:40:02;14 - 00:40:03;42]
Dallas
 is terrible thing. Guys.

[00:40:03;42 - 00:40:09;04]
William
 Irradiated dogs. You could down blue, but bluey. No, down blue.

[00:40:09;04 - 00:40:51;50]
Dallas
 That's old yeller blue. That's old yeller. They got down. Hey, you guys. Oh, you remember more of the conversation that happened. How lucky you are for a second time. And so you, you remember hearing as they are a yanking the fusion core out of the armor. And when they yank it out. There. The night is in the armor, but it powers down. So he is completely defenseless while they are replacing the fusion core and you can hear him kind of yelling and cursing them to hurry up to get the new fusion core in. And you hear.

[00:40:51;50 - 00:41:16;50]
Speaker 15
 So, uh, anyway, uh, glad we're not using the old kind because the old kind of power armor, we'd have to replace these lease. Maybe, maybe at least once a day, maybe more because they were so inefficient. But now with the new kind, we only have to do this maybe once a week, depending on how horrible it is that we have to, you know, fight move and be out here and about. So the old kind, we'd have to do this all the time.

[00:41:16;50 - 00:41:18;20]
Alex
 And also

[00:41:18;20 - 00:41:20;58]
Speaker 10
 that sounds so

[00:41:20;58 - 00:41:25;33]
Alex
 so like, uh, like it takes a lot of effort.

[00:41:26;49 - 00:41:33;05]
William
 And you can have it for the low price of $1,200.

[00:41:38;36 - 00:41:43;18]
William
 I'm now, I'm now wondering how a New Zealander got to America.

[00:41:43;18 - 00:41:46;30]
Dallas
 It's a melting pot. Shut up. It's a melt. Uh,

[00:41:47;40 - 00:42:06;44]
Dallas
 some of the, some of the vaults, uh, did accent retrains and that's what happened. It's they just listened over and over again to different. They're only exposed to very specific accents to see a one vault. Only watched bluey and they all came out talking like they were Australian. There's a whole thing.

[00:42:08;39 - 00:42:14;30]
William
 Naturally. That would be a good vault experience. Like bluey is just on a constant loop.

[00:42:14;30 - 00:42:34;34]
Alex
 You need to be careful with that fusion core. If you drop it, you know, we're all gone. We weren't even able to blink or, or gasp. It'll just happen. So you best be careful even with that one. That's just about to blow the one that's just fried out. We got to make sure that we put it right. Wrap it in the box, man, before you drop it.

[00:42:35;52 - 00:42:43;12]
Alex
 Where do you keep the box of spent fusion cores when you take them out of the armor? What do you do with them then? If they're that explosive,

[00:42:43;12 - 00:42:51;43]
Alex
 we put them in the verta bird and we take them back to the brotherhood of steel. So we keep them safe like, or bury them way out into the wasteland.

[00:42:53;34 - 00:43:06;42]
Alex
 But let's say that you didn't have a verta bird nearby or a wasteland, like burials plot. Would you just have to like keep them in random storage around you or how do you, what would you do?

[00:43:06;42 - 00:43:17;26]
Alex
 Well, I guess if you, if you weren't real keen on knowing what a fusion core is, I'm sure you just think it was like a burnt light bulb and you just kind of toss it to the side.

[00:43:19;53 - 00:43:20;31]
Alex
 Interesting.

[00:43:20;31 - 00:43:26;52]
Alex
 Okay. That goes against brotherhood of steel, steel protocol. So that ain't something that I trifle with. So.

[00:43:28;24 - 00:43:45;52]
Alex
 Yeah, that makes sense. I wouldn't want to like ever have to encounter that in the future. That would be like crazy. But huh. Interesting side. Little bit of tidbit of information that I will never use ever again. I'll just keep that locked away randomly until it comes up at a dinner party one night.

[00:43:45;52 - 00:43:48;11]
Alex
 Right. Thanks. Anyway, you guys later.

[00:43:52;12 - 00:43:52;49]
Speaker 10
 All right, guys.

[00:43:52;49 - 00:44:02;22]
William
 Is it just me or did the non New Zealander was that Carlos Mendoza's like dumber brother? They came from the same vault.

[00:44:05;18 - 00:44:07;15]
Alex
 How did he not become a super mutant

[00:44:07;15 - 00:44:07;34]
Dallas
 then

[00:44:09;44 - 00:44:14;28]
Dallas
 cousin vaults like they related vaults, but not cousin stuff. You know,

[00:44:15;45 - 00:44:17;37]
Dallas
 Oh boy. What a throwback there.

[00:44:17;37 - 00:44:21;45]
William
 So you spaced out there for a minute.

[00:44:21;45 - 00:44:25;08]
Alex
 I have an idea, guys, and I can see the

[00:44:27;16 - 00:44:35;32]
Alex
 as he's stepping towards us. Did you remember the two weird guys who kind of reminded you of the aristocats a little bit?

[00:44:35;32 - 00:44:38;36]
William
 Yes. The ones that were in the power. Yes.

[00:44:38;36 - 00:45:00;12]
Alex
 Yes. Yeah. They were helping the power armor guy. Do you remember how they were helping him back into their vertebrate and they had to take that power cell the fusion core out of the armor. I think that that has the same kind of power source.

[00:45:00;12 - 00:45:08;29]
William
 Yeah. So I'm sorry. It's does the thing glow in a little like a windowed compartment like an art reactor?

[00:45:09;30 - 00:45:14;25]
Alex
 No, no, no. That's Tony. That's Tony Stark. He's not in this universe.

[00:45:14;25 - 00:45:16;34]
William
 Is it the

[00:45:16;34 - 00:45:19;34]
Alex
 Wendigo will return an Avengers do.

[00:45:20;46 - 00:45:23;10]
William
 No, no, we have Tony Toots.

[00:45:23;10 - 00:45:25;59]
Alex
 Tony Toots Wiener, my cousin.

[00:45:25;59 - 00:45:43;22]
William
 No, but I mean, is it readily visible? Is it under all that armor? What I'm saying is he's not wearing his helmet. His helmet is more bone, which is susceptible to blunt force trauma or penetration by high speed projectiles.

[00:45:43;22 - 00:45:44;01]
Alex
 No, no, no.

[00:45:44;01 - 00:45:52;30]
Speaker 10
 Look, look. It's it's a like a power. The the the the the armor that the the brotherhood people have.

[00:45:52;30 - 00:45:53;34]
William
 I just go and start.

[00:45:53;34 - 00:45:54;37]
Speaker 10
 No, no, no.

[00:45:54;37 - 00:46:06;24]
Alex
 Houston, stop, stop. We need to split up and find those fusion cores, lure him to it and then Houston, you shoot it and we blow it up.

[00:46:06;24 - 00:46:12;06]
William
 So find the fusion. You forget we were not.

[00:46:12;06 - 00:46:14;23]
Alex
 Oh, you weren't. You weren't in my memory. Oh

[00:46:15;37 - 00:46:41;59]
Alex
 my gosh. Like the thing that makes the armor power. They should have a name for that kind of armor. It has a power unit. They're very explosive, but they're they get used after like a day or so and he's been up here for months and months and months. There's got to be hundreds, hundreds of these power units somewhere, right? Right, Game Master? Perhaps. Yes.

[00:46:41;59 - 00:46:48;22]
William
 He that's possible. Yes, but he's bearing down on us now.

[00:46:48;22 - 00:46:50;53]
Dallas
 Yeah, he's he's getting ready to pick up another person.

[00:46:50;53 - 00:46:59;58]
William
 He's trying to kill us now. We need to split up to some power ranger level of the good guys getting their act together and the villain just said

[00:47:01;05 - 00:47:01;08]
William
 the

[00:47:01;08 - 00:47:01;39]
Alex
 guy

[00:47:03;24 - 00:47:05;27]
Alex
 who was trying to arc weld

[00:47:05;27 - 00:47:08;03]
Alex
 a rail gun.

[00:47:09;27 - 00:47:11;56]
Dallas
 So as you guys are are arguing,

[00:47:12;56 - 00:47:23;51]
Dallas
 he punches through another crate, picks up the crate on one of his hands and he tosses it at. Mr. McKinley.

[00:47:23;51 - 00:47:27;33]
William
 I'm in turn and I start shooting.

[00:47:27;33 - 00:47:36;41]
Dallas
 Start shooting. I'm going to need you to give me a role for agility and athletics, which for you is a three.

[00:47:36;41 - 00:47:38;07]
Speaker 10
 And

[00:47:39;13 - 00:47:40;52]
Speaker 10
 twelve. All right.

[00:47:42;58 - 00:47:54;41]
Dallas
 And to nine. So as he throws it, it bounces off of the ground. You hear the scream of someone inside of the box as it flips up, hits you,

[00:47:55;44 - 00:48:03;28]
Dallas
 spinning you and knocking you to the ground and you do lose one health point in the ruckus.

[00:48:03;28 - 00:48:08;52]
William
 I would have my suppose I saw and I have a

[00:48:09;53 - 00:48:14;28]
William
 flamethrower. I'm really good at throwing things.

[00:48:18;11 - 00:48:24;34]
William
 Is is there something a bit of a crackly metal around me that I could possibly use as some sort of

[00:48:25;45 - 00:48:29;07]
William
 javelin to give some sort of long range attack? I'm afraid I don't have anything

[00:48:30;48 - 00:48:31;28]
William
 in that regard.

[00:48:32;28 - 00:48:34;42]
Dallas
 You don't

[00:48:34;42 - 00:48:36;19]
William
 flamethrower. Is

[00:48:37;51 - 00:48:45;49]
William
 it possible? I know I would probably render damage to my fleshy counterparts, but it appears that the

[00:48:47;05 - 00:48:53;37]
William
 creature that is working its way towards us. Do I know what kind of creature it is? Does it is it human?

[00:48:55;34 - 00:48:58;54]
Dallas
 It does look like it is a human in power.

[00:48:58;54 - 00:49:00;23]
William
 In power almost.

[00:49:00;23 - 00:49:03;08]
Dallas
 It is covered in bones flesh.

[00:49:04;32 - 00:49:10;54]
William
 Is it could I possibly fire some sort of like debilitating frequency

[00:49:12;25 - 00:49:21;00]
William
 that would render him disoriented disoriented or like drastically affect his hearing. I

[00:49:23;00 - 00:49:24;05]
William
 do have a. You can try.

[00:49:25;14 - 00:49:25;57]
William
 If

[00:49:28;19 - 00:49:40;16]
Dallas
 you do that, I'm going to. It's going to be risky. I'm going to make that you're going to have to roll three successful rolls.

[00:49:41;25 - 00:49:43;31]
Dallas
 And it is. Let's see.

[00:49:44;59 - 00:49:49;29]
Dallas
 That is going to be intelligence and science.

[00:49:49;29 - 00:49:53;02]
William
 Intelligence and science. So I would need a tin

[00:49:54;11 - 00:49:55;07]
William
 or lower

[00:49:55;07 - 00:50:00;28]
Dallas
 or repair. I'll give it to you with repair, but you're going to have to burn a.

[00:50:02;07 - 00:50:04;15]
Dallas
 A an action point.

[00:50:05;29 - 00:50:06;41]
Dallas
 Because you're gonna need to buy it. I.

[00:50:06;41 - 00:50:15;51]
William
 Oh, because I only have to die. Yeah, OK. I'm going to know. No, I would. I would. Yes,

[00:50:18;13 - 00:50:19;30]
William
 but I would also hurt.

[00:50:21;25 - 00:50:24;00]
William
 Houston and and and Jake.

[00:50:24;00 - 00:50:26;01]
Dallas
 I would have to roll

[00:50:26;01 - 00:50:27;50]
William
 like saving throws.

[00:50:29;11 - 00:50:29;26]
William
 But.

[00:50:33;25 - 00:50:38;16]
William
 OK, hang on. Let me zoom in on the map here. Where is this creature in

[00:50:38;16 - 00:50:44;44]
Dallas
 Godfrey? He is to the to the north and to the left of the road. I don't know if you can see him.

[00:50:44;44 - 00:50:55;59]
William
 All right. I'm no I'm not going to attempt to do anything that would also hurt my compatriots. Instead, I would like to move and take some sort of cover over here because his focus is on

[00:50:57;15 - 00:50:58;36]
William
 Houston at this point.

[00:50:58;36 - 00:51:03;11]
Dallas
 Right. And now he has taken taken a crack set. All of you so.

[00:51:04;38 - 00:51:18;50]
Dallas
 Godfrey, a cross through. He's going to crawl through the rubble and he is crawling a little bit more to the left of the road that he was. Scavenging upon and he is now fairly hidden.

[00:51:20;34 - 00:51:26;19]
Dallas
 He's broken line of sight with the creature, the wind to go, perhaps.

[00:51:27;22 - 00:51:40;14]
Dallas
 So he cannot see you. He did watch you run over past the broken building, but you are now behind cover. And so we are going to move. That was your your major action. Do you want to take a minor action?

[00:51:40;14 - 00:51:47;18]
William
 I'm trying to look at my inventory. I have a flamethrower, the pencil attachment. I know I just have standard plating.

[00:51:48;19 - 00:51:50;05]
Dallas
 And you can look for something on the ground.

[00:51:50;05 - 00:51:55;08]
William
 I would like to inspect my surroundings to see if there's anything that might aid me.

[00:51:56;12 - 00:52:05;57]
Dallas
 Okay. Give me a roll. Okay. And we're going to do a perception and a survival.

[00:52:08;32 - 00:52:08;53]
William
 Four.

[00:52:08;53 - 00:52:42;13]
Dallas
 Yes, sir. Fantastic. All right. So that. Yeah. So that you because you needed a seven eight nine. So that does it. So as you're looking around, you do find what looks like a piece of of metal that is triangular in shape, very flat as well and very sharp. It looks like it has been sheared off of something. And so it is just a nasty looking piece of metal that fits in your hand almost like a frisbee would.

[00:52:42;13 - 00:52:51;53]
William
 I would like to pick it up in my pencil attachment and rotated so that it is level with the ground and close to my person. And that

[00:52:52;55 - 00:52:54;46]
William
 is my minor action. Gotcha.

[00:52:54;46 - 00:52:57;41]
Dallas
 So you now have that in your pincers.

[00:52:59;07 - 00:53:01;06]
Dallas
 Jacob, it is now your turn.

[00:53:01;06 - 00:53:01;49]
Alex
 Okay.

[00:53:02;54 - 00:53:26;49]
Alex
 I know what I know from my memory. And so I get up and I can remember the shape of the fusion core. I remember that it's cylindrical. It's got almost like knobs on either side. And it glows a little bit yellowish on either end and clear in the center.

[00:53:28;23 - 00:54:19;36]
Alex
 And and so I have a small mental image and I'm my goal now is that I need to run in any direction to find that crate. The window go is storing it somewhere. And so it's got to be around here somewhere to give energy power to the armor. Okay. So my goal is I'm going to run over. I have scanned the area and I look and see what it looks like. If this is where all the other cultists were living, they wouldn't live in the same spot that their leaders living. Okay. Naturally. I looked in the place where the cultists were living, not where the cult leader is. And as everyone knows from Creed Bratton, being the cultist is more fun.

[00:54:20;40 - 00:54:29;02]
Alex
 But being the window go leader is where the money is that and the power, the power quite literally in the fusion course.

[00:54:30;16 - 00:54:36;28]
Alex
 And so I looked to the other side of the camp and I think I see what is the window goes lodgings

[00:54:36;28 - 00:54:40;43]
William
 turns out. So the window go is actually Creed office.

[00:54:42;22 - 00:54:44;14]
Alex
 Hey, now don't spoil the ending.

[00:54:46;10 - 00:55:28;52]
Alex
 All right. So if, if I can see what I think are his lodgings, I get up and I run to the other side to go to his lodgings. And as I do it, I yell over at Houston, Houston. If he turns his back to us because of where I'm running, you shoot the orangey yellow thing. I'm shooting in his back. Do you understand? Shoot the head? Yes. No, shoot the orange thing in his back. Do you understand? Shoot you in the back? No, shoot the yellow thing in his back.

[00:55:28;52 - 00:55:32;26]
William
 I'm kidding. I'm kidding. I will shoot the orange yellowy thing.

[00:55:32;26 - 00:55:34;28]
Dallas
 All right. So which direction are you running?

[00:55:34;28 - 00:55:42;12]
Alex
 Is the window go standing near what are his lodgings or is he up by the gate?

[00:55:42;12 - 00:56:17;45]
Dallas
 He is not by the gate. You guys have passed through the gate. So I'll set the seat as to what you know so far. You guys walked in from the south through what was what used to be the gates and is now just burned out flat nothingness. And as you walked further north into kind of where everything opened up there, there were the crates and other pieces of detritus and damage to your left on the road. That's where you initially found the old man and where

[00:56:18;48 - 00:57:09;31]
Dallas
 Gottfried was, was freeing people. And this is also where the wind to go rose and has been throwing people out of crates further down in that pile of rubber to the right of the road. We had lots of of bones and we had a lots of just blood and what looks like places where people have gathered to eat. And this is also where you went searching on the right side of the road where we found when to go lodging or not the window goes lodgings, but the cultists lodgings in varying states of damage and disrepair as well because it does look like everything here was damaged and affected in some way. So that is all that you have seen so far.

[00:57:11;01 - 00:57:19;03]
Dallas
 Okay. And you're in your get in your your endeavors now further down the road it does look

[00:57:20;06 - 00:57:39;37]
Dallas
 like when you guys walked in that this road dead ends into almost a cul-de-sac probably at one point, maybe even pre war that this used to be kind of the dead end to maybe a subdivision or some sort of, you know, end of a town. Yeah.

[00:57:39;37 - 00:57:41;08]
Alex
 And there's like a house over there.

[00:57:41;08 - 00:57:54;58]
Dallas
 There was something you guys never made it far enough beforehand to see before he started throwing stuff, throwing things when he started throwing things. You were, you were deep in the lodgings.

[00:57:57;02 - 00:57:58;54]
Dallas
 Houston can see down the road.

[00:57:59;57 - 00:58:03;42]
Dallas
 Godfrey can no longer see down the road because Godfrey has run to cover

[00:58:04;55 - 00:58:12;56]
Dallas
 and is, is kind of placed himself in a place of sneak with his newfound weapon.

[00:58:12;56 - 00:58:14;22]
Alex
 Here's my plan.

[00:58:15;28 - 00:58:44;07]
Alex
 I'm going to run towards the end of that cul-de-sac the end of the road, the little loop up at the end. That way I can get the window go to turn away from my friends. And as I start running, I want to go all the way to the end of the cul-de-sac. Okay, that is my, my, I want that to be my major action. All right. And as I am running that way, I yell to Houston, Houston,

[00:58:44;07 - 00:58:49;10]
Speaker 10
 shoot the yellow core in his back.

[00:58:49;10 - 00:58:54;37]
Speaker 13
 Shoot the yellow core. I pull out my gun.

[00:58:54;37 - 00:58:57;19]
Alex
 Wait, wait, I'm still running. So I start running.

[00:58:57;19 - 00:59:07;45]
Dallas
 Yes. Cause still your turn. So that is a, an extra long distance. So that would be two major actions. So you would have to burn two action points to get there.

[00:59:07;45 - 00:59:13;09]
Alex
 All right. I do that. All right. I need to get him away from my friends. Okay.

[00:59:13;09 - 00:59:46;42]
Dallas
 So you now have four action points. All right. So that is the end of Jake wingers turn. And it is now Houston's turn. Houston has his, uh, he is now firmly planted on to the end of the road. To the ground because he did take a hit from the crate with a human inside of it that was launched at him that knocked him to the ground. Uh, now he's sprawled out amongst the debris in the middle of the road, fully exposed. Uh, and it is his turn

[00:59:46;42 - 00:59:51;10]
William
 after I collect myself from the debris and the fall.

[00:59:52;17 - 00:59:54;14]
William
 I hear mr. Wingers,

[00:59:55;15 - 00:59:59;52]
William
 I hear mr. Reiner's voice about the yellow thing on the back. I grabbed the gun

[01:00:01;09 - 01:00:01;43]
William
 and I start

[01:00:01;43 - 01:00:04;07]
William
 to shoot what you're, you're prone on the ground.

[01:00:06;10 - 01:00:09;15]
William
 Like I'm onto the, I'm on the ground.

[01:00:09;15 - 01:00:12;56]
Alex
 Has the Wendigo turned to face me?

[01:00:13;59 - 01:00:15;38]
Alex
 Has my decoy worked?

[01:00:15;38 - 01:00:19;59]
Dallas
 No, it has not been his turn. So he has not been able to do anything yet.

[01:00:21;01 - 01:00:25;29]
Dallas
 Oh, okay. But his, his skull, you know, his,

[01:00:25;29 - 01:00:28;45]
Alex
 his very much protected skull.

[01:00:28;45 - 01:00:34;11]
William
 Okay. Okay. I do. I originally planned to do. I shoot the skull.

[01:00:35;44 - 01:00:51;27]
William
 Like I'm, but like I'm on the ground. I shoot the skull, you know, from the ground sort of like as a, anyways, I'm like falling and I grabbed the gun. Well, in the mid fall, I grabbed the gun and it's this epic action shot.

[01:00:51;27 - 01:00:56;13]
William
 It might be a little more stable if you're like, I don't know, come up to you and me

[01:00:57;46 - 01:00:59;23]
William
 stabilize the shot.

[01:00:59;23 - 01:01:05;39]
Alex
 He wants too many of the quick and the angry franchise

[01:01:07;24 - 01:01:11;12]
Alex
 would have been so much better if it was an alliterative franchise, but you know, whatever.

[01:01:12;42 - 01:01:14;01]
Alex
 I'm so glad it started the

[01:01:14;01 - 01:01:17;31]
William
 stone in my mind. Everything happens in slow motion.

[01:01:21;07 - 01:01:32;40]
Dallas
 Let's see here. You are going to, you have a pipe gun that does take a 38 caliber rounds and you are going, so you can take a minor action of aim

[01:01:34;04 - 01:01:40;20]
Dallas
 if you would like. And so that lets you be able to reroll one of your D 20s on your

[01:01:41;53 - 01:01:46;41]
Dallas
 attack to make, you know, so if you, if you miss, you get to roll it again.

[01:01:48;13 - 01:01:57;12]
Dallas
 Let's go. Well, we're doing, we're doing combat roles. Combat roles are a little bit different. So they're not the normative way we roll.

[01:01:57;12 - 01:02:02;44]
William
 Great. Now these are going to be like, oh, you get a one and you just die. The reverse.

[01:02:04;08 - 01:02:10;04]
Dallas
 So we're going to, here's your first. This is your, your combat role.

[01:02:10;04 - 01:02:13;42]
Alex
 That one didn't mean anything. That didn't have it. No, it did not.

[01:02:13;42 - 01:02:14;09]
Dallas
 No.

[01:02:15;30 - 01:02:25;01]
Dallas
 What? Yeah. Because you, you roll separately and so you, you did use aim. So we get to roll one of those again.

[01:02:26;33 - 01:02:27;14]
Speaker 11
 Natural.

[01:02:27;14 - 01:02:30;54]
Dallas
 You hit him. There you go. You hit him, but you hit him in the guts.

[01:02:32;09 - 01:02:33;54]
William
 Isn't that where his fusion core is?

[01:02:33;54 - 01:02:42;24]
William
 Did it know, did it find like the purchase between the armor and it actually wounded him or just go and bounced off?

[01:02:42;24 - 01:02:45;49]
Dallas
 Oh, well now we get to roll damage. Oh,

[01:02:46;52 - 01:02:58;50]
Dallas
 I needed to damage to the wind to go. So out of his 25 hit points, you have done two damage to set when to go. No cult leader.

[01:02:58;50 - 01:03:02;01]
William
 There was slip there. I was 25.

[01:03:04;16 - 01:03:15;37]
Dallas
 Oh my bad. Yeah. I mean, he doesn't, he doesn't look like it fazed him too much. Almost made him laugh at the attack.

[01:03:15;37 - 01:03:18;33]
William
 So I should have saved that one. I should have saved that one.

[01:03:18;33 - 01:03:21;13]
Dallas
 It's the winding goes turn.

[01:03:22;22 - 01:03:23;41]
Dallas
 So the wind to go,

[01:03:23;41 - 01:03:25;05]
William
 the winding goes,

[01:03:25;05 - 01:03:27;42]
Dallas
 the winding go at your baby.

[01:03:32;17 - 01:03:34;23]
Super Mutant
 How dare you run from me.

[01:03:35;33 - 01:03:42;52]
Dallas
 And so the, the wind to go turns and he pulls out his weapon,

[01:03:43;58 - 01:03:49;49]
Dallas
 which is a improved long laser rifle. No, he craved.

[01:03:51;43 - 01:03:51;48]
Dallas
 Mr.

[01:03:52;51 - 01:03:53;34]
Dallas
 Winger.

[01:03:55;07 - 01:03:56;10]
Dallas
 Come on.

[01:03:57;42 - 01:04:03;08]
Dallas
 Okay. So he does hit you. Oh boy. This is a lot of dice. No, that's a lot of dice.

[01:04:03;08 - 01:04:04;20]
Alex
 Oh my gosh.

[01:04:05;21 - 01:04:05;46]
Dallas
 All right.

[01:04:06;56 - 01:04:08;43]
Dallas
 He hit you for four damage.

[01:04:09;46 - 01:04:10;58]
William
 Oh,

[01:04:12;25 - 01:04:16;37]
Speaker 10
 but it like instantly cauterized on the way in. Cause it's, it's a laser.

[01:04:16;37 - 01:04:26;05]
Dallas
 It does. So this, yeah, he, he, he shoulders this and it looks like he uses this to hunt with because he, he uses this with

[01:04:27;15 - 01:04:35;14]
Dallas
 just death, deft expertise, aims and fires at Jake as he's running. And one of the rounds hits

[01:04:36;18 - 01:04:46;19]
Dallas
 him square in the back as he's running and it makes him stumble as he's headed towards this damaged structure at the end of the cul de sac.

[01:04:46;19 - 01:04:51;11]
Speaker 14
 Oh, I'm

[01:04:53;36 - 01:05:00;38]
Speaker 13
 not going to win. Enemy help me. Shoot

[01:05:03;18 - 01:05:07;17]
Speaker 13
 the power core. Shoot the power core.

[01:05:07;17 - 01:05:17;03]
Dallas
 Godfrey, you want, you hear this from your, your cubby, but you do not see what is going on and it is not your turn.

[01:05:17;03 - 01:05:19;50]
William
 Can I, can I, um,

[01:05:21;02 - 01:05:22;21]
William
 how much can I

[01:05:23;23 - 01:05:25;52]
William
 can minor actions be movements?

[01:05:28;05 - 01:05:36;19]
Dallas
 Minor actions are aims move, take a chemical, all those things. Because you can make a move and then you can make an attack.

[01:05:36;19 - 01:05:53;35]
William
 So I, um, I would like to move, um, into line of sight of the quarry. Okay. Um, I would like to, um, how many action points do we have between all of us?

[01:05:53;35 - 01:05:54;31]
Speaker 11
 We have four.

[01:05:54;31 - 01:06:01;57]
William
 You're four. I would like to spend an action point to aim. I believe that was a minor action. It is.

[01:06:01;57 - 01:06:03;49]
Dallas
 Okay. It's just one action point.

[01:06:03;49 - 01:06:26;30]
William
 Okay. I would like to spend an action point to aim and given my throwing abilities, I have this sharpened piece of triangular steel in my pincer grip. I would like to attend to throw it at fusion core, which is now visible on his, um, backside.

[01:06:27;54 - 01:06:31;25]
Dallas
 All right. So, so since there we do not have,

[01:06:34;35 - 01:06:42;32]
Dallas
 we're going to just use regular roles for this one. So I'm going to use your strength and your throwing ability, which your strength is four.

[01:06:43;37 - 01:06:45;23]
Dallas
 Your throwing ability is a zero.

[01:06:46;37 - 01:06:48;50]
Dallas
 And I'm also good. Yes.

[01:06:49;56 - 01:06:50;12]
Dallas
 I

[01:06:51;35 - 01:06:54;10]
Dallas
 didn't choose your stats. You did

[01:06:55;27 - 01:06:58;18]
Alex
 like slingshot at a

[01:06:58;18 - 01:07:06;33]
William
 rock. Yes. But I also rolled, I also rolled natural one whenever I did that. So it was put chance. All right.

[01:07:06;33 - 01:07:12;14]
Dallas
 I'm also going to make this because of the distance. You have to land to

[01:07:13;16 - 01:07:14;02]
Dallas
 dice.

[01:07:15;29 - 01:07:19;21]
William
 I have to get a four or lower on two of the three dies.

[01:07:20;40 - 01:07:23;52]
William
 Okay. Oh, here goes number.

[01:07:26;02 - 01:07:27;58]
Alex
 Come on.

[01:07:27;58 - 01:07:30;28]
Dallas
 I love that. So come on.

[01:07:30;28 - 01:07:32;39]
Alex
 Godfrey. Okay. Come on. Godfrey.

[01:07:34;41 - 01:07:38;39]
William
 Wait, a 16. I'm going to burn the left point and I'm going to reroll that one.

[01:07:38;39 - 01:07:40;37]
Alex
 Yes.

[01:07:40;37 - 01:07:41;11]
Dallas
 All right.

[01:07:49;20 - 01:07:49;52]
Speaker 10
 Oh,

[01:07:52;16 - 01:07:55;44]
Alex
 yeah. The cheese. There's

[01:07:55;44 - 01:08:01;39]
William
 going to be years of bardic inspiration about my throwing abilities.

[01:08:01;39 - 01:08:07;50]
William
 People are going to write that I think I rolled the sun across the sky. How did you do that?

[01:08:07;50 - 01:08:09;46]
Speaker 10
 How did you manage that?

[01:08:14;00 - 01:08:14;39]
William
 Oh,

[01:08:14;39 - 01:08:16;31]
Alex
 my gosh.

[01:08:17;37 - 01:08:18;55]
Dallas
 I don't like that.

[01:08:20;55 - 01:08:23;15]
Dallas
 Not that I was actively rooting against you or anything,

[01:08:23;15 - 01:08:27;24]
William
 but you were. Hey, I actively root against them all the time.

[01:08:27;24 - 01:08:28;16]
Alex
 I

[01:08:28;16 - 01:08:33;05]
William
 please tell me, please tell me that this is rewarded.

[01:08:34;24 - 01:08:36;05]
William
 That's to be, doesn't it? So

[01:08:37;37 - 01:08:38;25]
William
 as

[01:08:39;50 - 01:08:41;52]
Alex
 you have to, you can't.

[01:08:41;52 - 01:08:43;38]
William
 Don't set him

[01:08:43;38 - 01:08:47;46]
Dallas
 as Godfrey putters out of cover.

[01:08:49;32 - 01:09:01;25]
Dallas
 He sees floating down a black piece of almost like silk and he grabs it and he ties it around the top of his dome.

[01:09:04;41 - 01:09:10;35]
Dallas
 And he looks down and in the piece of metal and he sees his reflection

[01:09:12;01 - 01:09:15;52]
Dallas
 and he feels what what feels like real emotion,

[01:09:16;53 - 01:09:21;40]
Dallas
 something not in his programming, something deeper, something more.

[01:09:23;12 - 01:09:35;53]
Dallas
 And in that reflection, he sees the mayor. He sees the sheriff. He sees the gentle hands assembling him on this on the assembly line.

[01:09:37;42 - 01:09:59;24]
Dallas
 And he knows that this is for all of the people who came before and perhaps all of the people that will come after that treated him as if they were. He was a real person that maybe he has more humanity inside of his dome than any any other person may ever have.

[01:10:00;27 - 01:10:13;53]
Dallas
 And that fills him with such hope that he his apertures shut. They close all the way and he starts spinning more than he's ever spun before and he's the hints.

[01:10:18;08 - 01:10:19;06]
Alex
 Pieces of like

[01:10:20;30 - 01:10:22;40]
Dallas
 bolts start flying off

[01:10:23;50 - 01:10:26;59]
Dallas
 and he lets go of this piece of metal.

[01:10:31;28 - 01:10:53;07]
Dallas
 And it goes and as it's going, it hits the wall of the building beside it and bounces off and as it bounces and arcs, it lands directly in the middle of this fusion core with this bright explosion that drops

[01:10:54;29 - 01:10:56;53]
Dallas
 the wind to go to his knees.

[01:10:57;58 - 01:11:21;27]
Dallas
 And you hear just coughing and there's smoke billowing out and it has caught fire. And so you just see this skull with horns and just smoke and fire coming out of the middle of it. But as that happens, it opens up and he you see whoever was inside of it pulling it off and crawls out of the suit

[01:11:24;03 - 01:11:30;01]
Dallas
 and starts crawling towards the woods. It's your all's go.

[01:11:31;41 - 01:11:50;25]
Dallas
 We're out of we're out of combat. It's out of whatever you guys want it to be. We are. We are no longer in the cycle of combat. He is crawling towards the woods and because as this happened, Jake is very far away and you two are fairly close.

[01:11:51;48 - 01:11:55;56]
Alex
 I prop myself up on my elbows and I go get him.

[01:11:55;56 - 01:11:59;45]
William
 Don't let him get away. I speed toward him.

[01:11:59;45 - 01:12:12;13]
Dallas
 And so as you speed toward him, he is making his way. He is he is to the tree line and he is coughing blood and he sounds like he is not doing well.

[01:12:13;30 - 01:12:14;26]
Dallas
 And then

[01:12:16;01 - 01:12:17;08]
Dallas
 you hear a rumble

[01:12:18;16 - 01:12:20;38]
Dallas
 and you look up into the woods

[01:12:21;48 - 01:12:24;18]
Dallas
 and what looks like the trees move

[01:12:25;51 - 01:12:41;33]
Dallas
 and out of the darkness out of the trees. It looks like two trees have uprooted out of the ground, but it is not trees. Oh no, but it looks like antlers.

[01:12:41;33 - 01:12:44;37]
William
 No, this is what we get for spending that luck point

[01:12:44;37 - 01:13:03;00]
Dallas
 coming out of the trees. And so what rises out of the darkness is what looks like a mutated human slash deer that reaches down and scoops up the bleeding cult leader.

[01:13:04;03 - 01:13:05;00]
Super Mutant
 Please, please.

[01:13:05;00 - 01:13:07;56]
Dallas
 No, and it puts it into its giant maw.

[01:13:12;04 - 01:13:13;49]
Dallas
 And did you hear a roar?

[01:13:18;11 - 01:13:18;38]
Dallas
 Your move.

[01:13:20;57 - 01:13:21;34]
Speaker 10
 Guys.

[01:13:23;19 - 01:13:24;02]
Speaker 10
 Run.

[01:13:26;26 - 01:13:29;40]
William
 We just run. Just run.

[01:13:31;33 - 01:13:38;11]
Dallas
 So God, Godfrey, you get to make you have to make a decision right now. What are you going to do? Are you going to run? You're going to stay?

[01:13:38;11 - 01:14:00;27]
William
 I'm not leaving them behind. They have flesh. The one that I'm going to run to master Wengar and I'm going to put some distance from that unholy abomination and I'm going to get to master Wengar and I'm dragging Houston along with me. Am I able to get us both over that? Is he able to move?

[01:14:01;55 - 01:14:07;21]
Dallas
 Yeah, you guys can get over there. Okay. So you guys are on your way to joining Mr. Wengar.

[01:14:07;21 - 01:14:11;18]
William
 And while I do it, I yell out, "Cuckoo!

[01:14:12;42 - 01:14:13;26]
Speaker 14
 Cuckoo!

[01:14:14;37 - 01:14:15;51]
Speaker 14
 Cuckoo!"

[01:14:17;59 - 01:14:20;32]
Speaker 10
 Isn't that his way of saying it's safe?

[01:14:20;32 - 01:14:27;40]
Alex
 I don't understand these symbols anymore. I don't know anymore.

[01:14:28;45 - 01:14:29;29]
Dallas
 Mr. Wengar,

[01:14:30;30 - 01:14:34;38]
Dallas
 so the beast turns to look solely at Mr. Wengar.

[01:14:35;41 - 01:14:38;31]
Alex
 We need to get in here ASAP.

[01:14:39;52 - 01:14:48;30]
Alex
 So I move into the, is this a shelter area back here? Would we be blocked from this vision as we head further north?

[01:14:48;30 - 01:14:53;20]
Dallas
 Well, he looks at you and you see his red glowing eyes and you stop.

[01:14:54;26 - 01:14:55;18]
Dallas
 You can move.

[01:14:56;23 - 01:14:57;42]
Dallas
 And you're not sure why,

[01:14:59;01 - 01:15:09;55]
Dallas
 but you hear, you hear a whisper and your stomach growls. You feel hungrier than you've ever felt in your entire life.

[01:15:13;43 - 01:15:24;28]
Dallas
 And you hear a whisper from, from, that sounds like it's coming from everywhere and nowhere at the same time. And the whisper asks if, "Are you hungry?"

[01:15:24;28 - 01:15:27;30]
Speaker 10
 Yeah. Yes. Yes. More than ever.

[01:15:28;31 - 01:15:31;49]
Speaker 10
 I'm getting out of my head. How is he doing this?

[01:15:31;49 - 01:15:35;57]
Super Mutant
 I can take care of that. I can take care of you.

[01:15:36;58 - 01:15:40;47]
Super Mutant
 You'll never hunger again. I'm getting out of my head.

[01:15:42;04 - 01:15:47;22]
Super Mutant
 I should make you a living leader. The last leader. He was weak.

[01:15:48;26 - 01:15:49;46]
Super Mutant
 He was worthless.

[01:15:50;46 - 01:15:53;35]
Super Mutant
 You defeated him.

[01:15:55;45 - 01:16:01;05]
Super Mutant
 You should take his place. I can give you all the power.

[01:16:02;42 - 01:16:03;25]
Super Mutant
 I can feed.

[01:16:04;26 - 01:16:05;05]
Super Mutant
 I can fill.

[01:16:06;59 - 01:16:10;27]
Super Mutant
 I can make you more powerful than you ever imagined.

[01:16:11;49 - 01:16:14;05]
William
 Am I able to

[01:16:15;06 - 01:16:18;51]
William
 ascertain whether or not this is coming from eye contact?

[01:16:18;51 - 01:16:23;12]
Dallas
 I'm going to need you to give me a perception

[01:16:24;18 - 01:16:30;25]
Dallas
 and a medicine. So perception is seven, medicine is eight, nine, ten.

[01:16:32;50 - 01:16:34;44]
William
 I got a seven. Okay. Roll one more.

[01:16:38;56 - 01:16:40;02]
William
 Okay. So it's seven and a ten.

[01:16:40;02 - 01:17:01;10]
Dallas
 You do perceive that it is coming from, from the creature. And it does look like he is, he is trying to, he is staring solely at Jake and Jake is staring directly at the, the creature. And Jake, I need you to give me a roll. And this is a level two difficulty. So they both got to make it.

[01:17:01;10 - 01:17:04;38]
Alex
 Is it also for medicine and.

[01:17:04;38 - 01:17:09;15]
Dallas
 Medicine and perception.

[01:17:09;15 - 01:17:22;14]
Alex
 Okay. So perception endurance endurance is a seven and medicine is a three and a tagged skill. All right. So if I, if I get one here, it counts as a double success. Yes.

[01:17:22;14 - 01:17:25;24]
Alex
 Yes. Yes. Because it's a tag skill. Awesome. Here we go.

[01:17:26;24 - 01:17:28;17]
Speaker 1
 Get him out of my head.

[01:17:30;41 - 01:17:47;15]
Dallas
 That's a 13. You're struggling and it's just not, you're not able to shake him out of your head. He's digging deeper. I got a 10. It just, you start to push him out, but he just forces his way back into your mind. And he is just.

[01:17:47;15 - 01:17:56;04]
Alex
 But it was a tagged medicine. So I only needed to 10. I was a seven and a three and it's tagged. So that should count as a success. Right?

[01:17:56;04 - 01:18:00;40]
Dallas
 So you, you does count. So you're able to push him out for the moment, but you still can't.

[01:18:00;40 - 01:18:05;11]
Alex
 I can't, I can't fight him off fully. Oh my gosh.

[01:18:05;11 - 01:18:13;33]
Dallas
 Force him out of your mind. You can't hear him any longer, but you cannot move. And it does seem like he is about to try to force his way into your mind again.

[01:18:15;01 - 01:18:15;57]
Speaker 10
 Shoot it.

[01:18:18;31 - 01:18:20;50]
Speaker 13
 Help me. I go for it.

[01:18:20;50 - 01:18:22;11]
William
 I go for the gun

[01:18:23;32 - 01:18:24;43]
William
 and I try to shoot at it.

[01:18:24;43 - 01:18:25;30]
William
 I'm going to move

[01:18:26;31 - 01:18:31;39]
William
 while Cusa is doing that. I'm going to try and move directly in between the creature and master winger.

[01:18:33;36 - 01:18:35;43]
Alex
 I feel I'm locking up.

[01:18:37;56 - 01:18:39;48]
Alex
 It's like a cramp that is

[01:18:39;48 - 01:18:40;55]
Speaker 10
 taking over my whole

[01:18:40;55 - 01:18:41;38]
Speaker 14
 body.

[01:18:41;38 - 01:18:44;57]
Dallas
 Brain cramps. So Houston, are you trying to shoot at it?

[01:18:44;57 - 01:18:47;36]
William
 At least as a distraction.

[01:18:48;42 - 01:19:00;13]
Dallas
 As a distraction. Okay. So I'm going to have you, we're going to do a regular role since this is a distraction. So let's do a

[01:19:00;13 - 01:19:02;17]
William
 natural one. Does it kill it?

[01:19:03;36 - 01:19:29;47]
Dallas
 It does not kill it. It does not kill it. We're going to do an agility and small guns. So that's a, you have to get a two. And a 19. You do let off a shot, but it cracks off into the woods and it doesn't look like it affects him in any shape or form. He is just deadlocked. Fighting Jake and Jake's mind.

[01:19:31;30 - 01:19:38;02]
William
 Can I hover up in between and break the eye contact and like fire my flame thrower a couple of times?

[01:19:39;28 - 01:19:40;31]
Dallas
 You can. Are you going to

[01:19:41;39 - 01:19:50;59]
William
 like toward the creature and obviously not toward Mr. Winger, but just enough to provide visual stimulus to redirect Mr. Master Winger and to break the line of eye contact.

[01:19:52;01 - 01:19:56;47]
Dallas
 You can. And I'm going to make this one also a level two difficulty. Of what?

[01:19:58;21 - 01:20:04;12]
Dallas
 We're going to do agility and big guns. So three, four, five.

[01:20:06;10 - 01:20:08;03]
William
 Wait, I have, I have a seven in agility.

[01:20:09;46 - 01:20:11;09]
Dallas
 I was looking at the wrong person.

[01:20:12;40 - 01:20:15;40]
Dallas
 Seven and guns.

[01:20:15;40 - 01:20:18;26]
Alex
 Seven is targeting us.

[01:20:18;26 - 01:20:24;24]
William
 Okay. So, um, both of them have to seven or below.

[01:20:26;06 - 01:20:28;26]
William
 Okay, hang on. I'm going to roll the second one.

[01:20:29;56 - 01:20:33;07]
William
 Oh, that's a two. I'm going to spend a lot of points. I'm going to roll another one again.

[01:20:33;07 - 01:20:34;24]
Alex
 Come on. Okay.

[01:20:37;18 - 01:20:37;30]
Alex
 Yeah.

[01:20:37;30 - 01:20:39;37]
Dallas
 This is 14.

[01:20:41;05 - 01:20:56;47]
Dallas
 So you, you launch your, your flamer, uh, into the air, but because of your, your heroic, uh, spinning move of death earlier, it malfunctions and just kind of sputters a little bit.

[01:20:59;00 - 01:21:04;10]
Dallas
 And so as, as you're fighting, Jake, I'm going to need you to do another roll to resist.

[01:21:05;45 - 01:21:07;43]
Alex
 So I need another 10. At

[01:21:08;52 - 01:21:15;48]
Alex
 least. Yep. All right. But if I get one, it counts as a success because it's here we go.

[01:21:18;04 - 01:21:21;03]
Speaker 13
 Come on. I got a four. All right.

[01:21:21;03 - 01:21:23;46]
Dallas
 So you're resistant. You still can't move, but you

[01:21:24;49 - 01:21:25;52]
Dallas
 help. Please.

[01:21:25;52 - 01:21:27;17]
Speaker 10
 He's in my head.

[01:21:28;21 - 01:21:29;10]
Speaker 10
 I can't move.

[01:21:29;10 - 01:21:31;10]
Alex
 Help me.

[01:21:32;20 - 01:21:36;09]
Alex
 So you hear that sound convincing, by the way, or do I sound more constipated?

[01:21:37;09 - 01:21:38;47]
Dallas
 It could be both. I don't know.

[01:21:38;47 - 01:21:42;05]
Alex
 Yeah. So you hear so, so,

[01:21:42;05 - 01:21:45;28]
Super Mutant
 so little Peter to close your eyes.

[01:21:47;27 - 01:22:13;55]
Dallas
 You see Klausinski just watch himself through the air and he uses his red power fist and just punches the wind to go in the face and go brakes eye contact. You're able to move again. They get in a knockdown drag out fist fight. And as they're fighting, just all of the rest of the six

[01:22:15;16 - 01:22:26;54]
Dallas
 boys come to his aid and they're just falling all over this window. Tearing it apart, punching it, kicking it, biting it, fighting this thing, trying to break it free from

[01:22:28;18 - 01:22:29;57]
Dallas
 whatever it was trying to do to Jake.

[01:22:29;57 - 01:22:32;26]
William
 On your left. Right.

[01:22:33;45 - 01:22:35;13]
Speaker 11
 This is our portal scene.

[01:22:39;20 - 01:22:45;03]
William
 In the movie version of our show, this is what David Harper is playing Klausinski for sure.

[01:22:47;57 - 01:22:47;58]
Dallas
 And

[01:22:48;59 - 01:23:02;36]
Dallas
 so it is fighting them in it, but they don't seem to be winning. It pins one to the ground. It throws another one into the building behind you guys. And it is still talking to Jake in his mind.

[01:23:02;36 - 01:23:04;45]
Alex
 I thought I thought him out.

[01:23:04;45 - 01:23:07;00]
William
 I thought we broke the eye contact.

[01:23:07;00 - 01:23:21;09]
Dallas
 We did. He's he's he can move again, but he's still talking to him and he he asks one more time to Jake because Jake still feels that hunger that that just will not go away. And he says, Jake,

[01:23:21;09 - 01:23:27;31]
Super Mutant
 I can offer you the world. I can offer you everything you've ever dreamed of.

[01:23:27;31 - 01:23:29;18]
William
 Shining shimmering splendid.

[01:23:33;01 - 01:23:36;32]
Alex
 And we can't take this seriously for 30 seconds.

[01:23:38;12 - 01:24:00;18]
Super Mutant
 Jake, do you remember your time in the vault? Being pushed around, being lied to? Do you remember being put down? You never have to face that ever again. I can give you unlimited power. You saw the army I gave this man. I can give you that and more.

[01:24:00;18 - 01:24:06;32]
Speaker 10
 Do you want it? I do. Master Waker, fight it.

[01:24:08;47 - 01:24:10;46]
William
 Fight it. You're better than this.

[01:24:10;46 - 01:24:12;14]
Dallas
 What do you want to do, Jake?

[01:24:12;14 - 01:24:13;26]
Speaker 13
 Fight it.

[01:24:14;36 - 01:24:14;37]
Dallas
 Do

[01:24:16;49 - 01:24:17;30]
Dallas
 you want it, Jake?

[01:24:19;38 - 01:24:20;07]
Dallas
 I can't.

[01:24:20;07 - 01:24:21;02]
Speaker 10
 I can't.

[01:24:23;10 - 01:24:24;56]
Speaker 13
 Push him out of my head.

[01:24:27;12 - 01:24:28;50]
Speaker 13
 I got a one.

[01:24:28;50 - 01:24:34;21]
Alex
 I got a one. That's so you. And that's another action point.

[01:24:34;21 - 01:24:59;06]
Dallas
 It is another action point. I hate it when you guys pay attention to the rules. So you you are struggling with with this debate and him pushing into your mind. But you're able to to channel this back and you find a way into its mind. And as you pierce into his mind, you you make eye contact this time.

[01:25:00;11 - 01:25:09;54]
Dallas
 As they hold Klozinski gets it down on the ground, it's almost like it gives up and it crawls out of the woods and it kneels before Jake.

[01:25:11;42 - 01:25:15;30]
Dallas
 And it asks one more time. Are you sure this is

[01:25:15;30 - 01:25:17;40]
Super Mutant
 what you want, Jake? You

[01:25:18;44 - 01:25:25;11]
Alex
 will not hurt any of my friends ever again. Tell me

[01:25:26;30 - 01:25:26;50]
Alex
 why

[01:25:26;50 - 01:25:29;07]
Speaker 10
 you're doing this to us.

[01:25:30;40 - 01:25:32;14]
Speaker 10
 This is just who

[01:25:32;14 - 01:25:33;37]
Super Mutant
 I am.

[01:25:33;37 - 01:25:44;58]
William
 Could this be like an avatar, the last airbender situation where like Jake overpowers the wind to go and becomes master of the wind to go. That's what just happened. I think that's where this is going.

[01:25:44;58 - 01:25:49;14]
Alex
 That's where this is going. Pay attention. Stop thinking up Star Wars references.

[01:25:51;19 - 01:25:54;36]
Alex
 But the other one was the power I caught it.

[01:25:57;07 - 01:25:57;45]
Dallas
 And so

[01:25:58;47 - 01:26:00;29]
Dallas
 the video asks.

[01:26:01;58 - 01:26:02;47]
Dallas
 You have me.

[01:26:02;47 - 01:26:06;57]
Super Mutant
 It's your choice as to what you do from here on out.

[01:26:06;57 - 01:26:12;59]
Alex
 We need to we need to eliminate the threat, but we also need to make sure there's not more.

[01:26:15;12 - 01:26:28;39]
Alex
 I use the mine tunnel that we built and I lock him to the ground kneeling and I search his mind to make sure that there aren't more

[01:26:30;18 - 01:26:30;54]
Alex
 out there.

[01:26:30;54 - 01:26:58;40]
Dallas
 What do I find? OK, so in looking in his mind, I'm looking into his mind, it's almost there's not a continuity in his mind. So you can see back thousands of years, but it looks like he is in one place for a while. And then all of a sudden there's a change and he's in a new place and then there's a new place and he's

[01:26:59;50 - 01:27:14;24]
Dallas
 with people causing them to eat people. He's causing them to do horrific things. And then all of a sudden it just switches. He's he has been throughout most of time, but it's almost like he is without form.

[01:27:15;32 - 01:27:18;07]
Dallas
 He can just jump from one place to another.

[01:27:19;07 - 01:27:21;05]
Dallas
 And that's what you see.

[01:27:21;05 - 01:27:36;44]
Alex
 These are in the same way that his mind is a swirling vortex of past and present and maybe future. I can't I can't parse it. I can't figure out each of these pieces that I'm seeing.

[01:27:37;59 - 01:27:52;10]
Alex
 I'm searching his brain for two particular things. One is New Detroit. I need to see glimpses of New Detroit. And the other thing I'm looking for is glimpses of Carlos because I need to confirm.

[01:27:53;27 - 01:28:13;50]
Alex
 The safety of both our people and the whereabouts of Carlos and if there's any hint of either or both, that's what I need to find. And this is all happening within like like in a dream where it happened. Oh, he's split second. This is just the swirling vortex of my thoughts that I am searching him for that. Right.

[01:28:13;50 - 01:28:18;11]
Dallas
 You you see what looks like maybe was

[01:28:20;01 - 01:28:49;08]
Dallas
 Detroit, but it looks old. It looks too too too new to be as old as it would be now. You see what looks like this area before there were ever even buildings in this area. You see other places that you've never been before creatures and and dialects and languages. You don't understand, but it it it seemed like he was yearning to come back to this area, but he had never made it back here in in current history.

[01:28:50;35 - 01:29:08;52]
Alex
 So I don't feel a sense of peace come over me and I know that our people in New Detroit must be safe if he isn't there in his spirit. And then I'm still searching his mind for Carlos to see if there's any hint of him there.

[01:29:08;52 - 01:29:15;41]
Dallas
 Right. And you you don't see Carlos ever. It doesn't look like Carlos ever interacted with this being whatsoever.

[01:29:15;41 - 01:29:40;32]
Alex
 This is that's good. He's Carlos is his own minor threat in the grand scheme of things. He's not some spiritual force at work here. And so as I'm looking, it's it's interesting because I'm seeing this blending of they look like indigenous peoples dancing around fires and in his presence and then it flashes forward to

[01:29:41;44 - 01:30:04;18]
Alex
 women in in a circle with black people. Pointy hats things garbs that I've never seen before and then it flashes forward to men in these suits and ties that are similar to what I would have seen in my time. And then the cultists and it's all flowing at the same time and what I'm seeing in the stream of consciousness.

[01:30:05;35 - 01:30:10;48]
Dallas
 So as you're doing that, you use your nose starts to bleed. You start to shake.

[01:30:12;06 - 01:30:24;07]
Dallas
 It's too much. It's too much to absorb. It's too much to try to release. And you start to fade like you're starting to get ashen skin.

[01:30:25;55 - 01:30:29;03]
William
 Houston. It's it's it's hurting him.

[01:30:29;03 - 01:30:30;46]
Alex
 You can't have them.

[01:30:32;14 - 01:30:33;26]
Alex
 I can't have them.

[01:30:34;47 - 01:30:39;56]
William
 I'm going to go up and I'm going to use my buzzsaw attachment to cut off one of his antlers.

[01:30:42;26 - 01:30:50;08]
Dallas
 So you start to cut through one of his hands and it's working. If you cut off one of its antlers as it screams.

[01:30:53;01 - 01:31:01;09]
William
 Is there a way to like lighten the mental load? I'm thinking Guardians of the Galaxy style. They all hold hands.

[01:31:01;09 - 01:31:10;21]
William
 Yes. There's a way to lighten the mental load. I flip the antler upside down and I drive it into its chest cavity.

[01:31:11;42 - 01:31:17;57]
Dallas
 It roars in pain and it is gurgling and it is thrashing about.

[01:31:17;57 - 01:31:19;16]
Alex
 Not me.

[01:31:19;16 - 01:31:20;23]
Speaker 13
 Don't.

[01:31:20;23 - 01:31:27;02]
Alex
 I feel it in my own. I feel it in my own chest. It's connection.

[01:31:27;02 - 01:31:27;47]
Speaker 1
 It's not

[01:31:29;55 - 01:31:35;33]
Dallas
 me. Every time you exert pain, they're sharing the pain.

[01:31:35;33 - 01:31:38;33]
William
 That would have been nice to establish.

[01:31:40;35 - 01:31:40;51]
Speaker 11
 Yeah.

[01:31:42;12 - 01:31:44;38]
Dallas
 We're building this. I don't know. Now that doesn't mean it doesn't.

[01:31:44;38 - 01:31:49;00]
William
 It's like you all talked about this before the match started.

[01:31:49;00 - 01:32:02;32]
Dallas
 No, not even a little bit. I know. Not at all. I wish we had. No, it doesn't mean that he's dying whenever you do that. It just means that he feels the pain. You are. You caused him pain every time you heard it.

[01:32:02;32 - 01:32:06;42]
Speaker 13
 Jeremy, Jeremy, bring me water. Jeremy, please.

[01:32:08;18 - 01:32:11;48]
Super Mutant
 Jeremy, it's gonna be okay. It's gonna be okay.

[01:32:14;12 - 01:32:24;11]
Dallas
 Jeremy, Jeremy kind of holds him as he's driving around and Godfrey, you have, you have, have really landed a,

[01:32:25;16 - 01:32:40;51]
Dallas
 a fatal blow to the wind to go. It's still alive, but it is dying. It is an excruciating pain reflected not in it's screams, but in Jacob Pwinger's screams.

[01:32:42;10 - 01:32:44;48]
Alex
 I do want to know when I became a Jacob.

[01:32:44;48 - 01:32:47;25]
Alex
 This feels like a reason. It's just what I do sometimes.

[01:32:49;01 - 01:32:57;14]
Dallas
 I've said the names enough times that I just, it just goes back and forth. Godfrey, I'm going to need you to give me an intelligence and medicine role.

[01:32:59;00 - 01:33:02;22]
William
 My intelligence is seven. My medicine's three.

[01:33:04;58 - 01:33:09;40]
William
 I got a 15 on the first one. And 18.

[01:33:09;40 - 01:33:42;36]
Dallas
 So in the, the scruffle with the wind to go, it's hard for you to tell if, if Jake is, is just feeling the pain. If this is a mental connection or if it is a physical connection, are you, are you also killing Jake every time that you stabbed the wind to go? And in, in the, the screams, it's hard for you to know. It's hard for you to tell. So what, what is the, it is bound. It is down. But every time you harm it, you also harm Jake.

[01:33:43;52 - 01:33:51;56]
William
 But like I was saying, is there a way to like mentally spread the burden out so it's not all on Jake? You can try. Okay. What do I do?

[01:33:51;56 - 01:33:55;56]
William
 But as you have a mind, you probably need to do that. Yes. Yeah.

[01:33:55;56 - 01:33:59;34]
Dallas
 You can, you can try. You can try making a connection as well.

[01:34:00;59 - 01:34:04;38]
Alex
 I'm so cold. Yes. So I go up

[01:34:04;38 - 01:34:16;02]
William
 so cold. Houston attempt to make a connection. I unfortunately hold his hand. So cold. Houston

[01:34:17;23 - 01:34:21;15]
William
 basically tried to sharing guardians of the galaxy style.

[01:34:22;57 - 01:34:28;17]
Dallas
 Right. Okay. So, but yeah, let's, let's do some roles. Cold. Houston.

[01:34:29;26 - 01:34:39;58]
Dallas
 17. All right. Okay. So you, six. I was going to do a five for luck.

[01:34:41;09 - 01:34:48;49]
Dallas
 And I was going to do medicine, which is zero, which is that you can reroll for a luck point though. And you still have five. Okay.

[01:34:48;49 - 01:34:53;17]
William
 16.

[01:34:53;17 - 01:34:54;13]
Alex
 16.

[01:34:55;50 - 01:35:02;26]
Alex
 I'm in, in my, I'm starting to like, wake and shake and, and, and

[01:35:03;33 - 01:35:06;00]
Alex
 pop up all palsy a bit. And

[01:35:07;25 - 01:35:32;08]
Alex
 I'd look just pleadingly into Houston's eyes and I tried to look into him the same way that the window go looked into me just as a last ditch effort to share the spurtin with him. He's tried looking into me, but somewhere in the recesses of my mind, I, I feel that when to go spirit saying that

[01:35:33;35 - 01:35:46;12]
Alex
 the, the ghoul is unworthy of the power. The ghoul is unworthy and that that's why it was rejecting him. And I want to share that with him now against the will of the window go

[01:35:46;12 - 01:35:48;52]
Dallas
 and share it with, with Houston.

[01:35:48;52 - 01:35:50;49]
William
 I'll show you unworthy.

[01:35:50;49 - 01:35:52;54]
Dallas
 All right. So, uh, whilst,

[01:35:54;12 - 01:35:58;45]
Dallas
 whilst trying to do that, uh, Godfrey, I need you to make a roll for me.

[01:35:58;45 - 01:36:00;42]
William
 I need

[01:36:00;42 - 01:36:05;00]
Dallas
 you to roll a five for luck and a three for medicine.

[01:36:07;54 - 01:36:13;09]
William
 How's the 13. One.

[01:36:14;17 - 01:36:14;49]
Speaker 10
 One. Oh, one.

[01:36:16;02 - 01:36:17;32]
Speaker 10
 And an action point.

[01:36:17;32 - 01:36:19;45]
Alex
 And an action point on top of that.

[01:36:19;45 - 01:36:42;43]
Dallas
 So as Godfrey is Godfrey felt as he stabbed the window go, he felt absolutely horrific because he realized that into inflicting pain into the window go that it was also inflicting pain into his natural pain. And now friend Jake winger, and it just caused him

[01:36:45;03 - 01:37:13;08]
Dallas
 an emotional reaction that is not likened to a robot's abilities. And as he, he feels that he also makes the connection between the window go Jake and now the shared experience of Houston. And now you all feel the pain and hear the screams of this.

[01:37:13;08 - 01:37:28;47]
William
 Now that I am inside of its mind, given my processing capabilities and my analysis, can I determine where inside of this, this creature that this is coming from, if it's coming from its mind.

[01:37:30;12 - 01:37:39;52]
William
 I am I able to discern, given the natural one of luck and medicine, medicine, it was medicine.

[01:37:41;13 - 01:37:43;07]
Dallas
 It was medicine. It was medicine.

[01:37:43;07 - 01:37:49;26]
William
 Do I have any awareness of if I if I can sever the mind I can sever this connection.

[01:37:49;26 - 01:37:51;09]
Dallas
 So you feel

[01:37:51;09 - 01:38:00;39]
William
 or all is if the what the injuries that I'm afflicting is it just mimicking the pain or is this actually injuring

[01:38:00;39 - 01:38:02;25]
Alex
 or will that collapse my mind

[01:38:02;25 - 01:38:08;21]
William
 like this is if it is this old in his mind like is the pain being projected or is his body being harmed.

[01:38:09;37 - 01:38:48;28]
Dallas
 So you because you don't have a body to harm to be harmed. You, you do reach out and find that Jake's body is failing him. He's dying. But Houston's body is is also starting to fade, but has not started to fade in the same rate. It's not that the physical injury to the window go was causing the pain. It's the prolonged attachment to the mind. The longer that they are attached to it, the longer that the more of their life gets drained from their body.

[01:38:48;28 - 01:38:54;24]
William
 I pulled the I pulled the antelope back out of its rib cage and I shove it.

[01:38:54;24 - 01:38:59;17]
Dallas
 You all cannot move. Now that you're attached the pain is too excruciating.

[01:38:59;17 - 01:39:02;09]
Alex
 All three of us or just

[01:39:02;09 - 01:39:04;25]
William
 Jeremy. What about the

[01:39:04;25 - 01:39:10;30]
Dallas
 boys are still out there and the boys are not being affected the same way you guys are.

[01:39:10;30 - 01:39:13;45]
William
 Can I can we talk to them? Can we signal them

[01:39:13;45 - 01:39:40;31]
Alex
 in the same way that I willed Houston into this attachment? Can I will the boys to do my bidding like the window go was freezing me and I'm frozen him, but the power is too strong for us. We could try and I used to say, yeah, but if you connect them, then they'll freeze. No, no, no, I'm not going to connect them. I'm going to use the mental voice. The projection that he used on us.

[01:39:40;31 - 01:39:47;17]
Dallas
 I'm going to need you to roll. I need you to give me an intelligence and speech.

[01:39:47;17 - 01:39:53;13]
Alex
 I have a seven and intelligence and I have a five speech and it's a tag

[01:39:53;13 - 01:39:58;37]
Dallas
 skill hated that we keep. I don't look at the tags until I'm done because I forget that they exist.

[01:39:59;44 - 01:40:00;16]
Dallas
 Beautiful.

[01:40:00;16 - 01:40:04;35]
Alex
 It's going to count to three things because I need to spend an AP point.

[01:40:04;35 - 01:40:17;08]
Dallas
 I forgot about my own loophole in your loophole. To say to say you still have a high. You have a high number. So you just need to. Okay, here we go.

[01:40:17;08 - 01:40:18;35]
Speaker 10
 I need a.

[01:40:20;23 - 01:40:22;03]
Speaker 13
 I got an eight that counts for two.

[01:40:22;03 - 01:40:23;49]
Dallas
 You need to roll another one.

[01:40:23;49 - 01:40:31;19]
Speaker 13
 But I get three tries and I got a. 15 not quite.

[01:40:31;19 - 01:40:34;37]
Dallas
 Yeah. And you're going to burn a luck point on this one.

[01:40:34;37 - 01:40:35;32]
Speaker 13
 Yep.

[01:40:38;04 - 01:40:38;54]
Speaker 13
 I got a four.

[01:40:40;54 - 01:40:44;37]
Dallas
 I use every. I should have made that harder than it was too bad.

[01:40:44;37 - 01:40:47;41]
Alex
 You said that you said it and I took advantage of

[01:40:48;49 - 01:40:50;42]
Alex
 too late. Burn an action point for that.

[01:40:50;42 - 01:40:56;53]
Dallas
 I'm not. I'm not bound by time. I don't think I can make what a rule as I want. Oh, and then Jake died. Sorry.

[01:40:59;04 - 01:41:08;44]
Alex
 So I use every bit of me in our hive mind and it's almost as if all three of our voices are coming out at once.

[01:41:10;42 - 01:41:13;16]
Speaker 13
 Boys. In

[01:41:16;17 - 01:41:19;18]
Speaker 13
 the hopes that they hear that they hear and they

[01:41:19;18 - 01:41:26;42]
Dallas
 get his head. So as you guys reach out and almost instantaneously.

[01:41:27;51 - 01:41:28;32]
Dallas
 It just goes.

[01:41:32;28 - 01:41:38;20]
Dallas
 And as you're able to now look around, you see that Klozinski has.

[01:41:39;42 - 01:41:42;00]
Dallas
 The neck.

[01:41:44;19 - 01:41:46;58]
Speaker 11
 And

[01:41:49;43 - 01:41:53;32]
Alex
 the way to go. Just stopped. It didn't get her. It's not.

[01:41:57;13 - 01:41:58;47]
William
 Windigo got stopped.

[01:41:58;47 - 01:42:00;53]
Super Mutant
 It is.

[01:42:02;16 - 01:42:03;11]
William
 What was.

[01:42:06;51 - 01:42:09;27]
William
 I'm just glad you guys didn't see that time in Vegas.

[01:42:09;27 - 01:42:12;47]
Speaker 10
 I need a new. Like seven new.

[01:42:15;03 - 01:42:21;34]
William
 I'm going to need no one to touch me, talk to me or speak to me for at least one full recharge cycle.

[01:42:23;00 - 01:42:24;23]
Super Mutant
 Are you boys okay?

[01:42:24;23 - 01:42:30;08]
Alex
 You know how we keep asking about what's inside Godfrey's container. I.

[01:42:31;31 - 01:42:38;12]
Alex
 I felt like I was was inside Godfrey's container there. You were inside of Godfrey.

[01:42:40;08 - 01:42:46;31]
Alex
 Houston. Is that what your thoughts are like all the time? Because that was weird, dude.

[01:42:46;31 - 01:42:48;01]
William
 They were revolting.

[01:42:48;01 - 01:42:51;41]
Alex
 I wasn't going to say that he kind of helped save our lives.

[01:42:52;55 - 01:42:55;31]
Speaker 10
 I'm think I'm drooling a bit. What happened?

[01:42:57;08 - 01:43:01;22]
William
 I've been in a lot of sentient creatures in my time, but that was the worst.

[01:43:01;22 - 01:43:03;34]
William
 Oh dear. All right. I'm going

[01:43:05;34 - 01:43:09;11]
William
 to pull out a tiny little broom and try to just start sweeping the dirt.

[01:43:11;14 - 01:43:16;46]
Dallas
 So the boys come out. One of them puts a blanket around Godfrey.

[01:43:18;07 - 01:43:20;17]
Speaker 14
 The only one that doesn't need to be.

[01:43:23;31 - 01:43:24;00]
William
 Mine.

[01:43:25;42 - 01:43:26;18]
William
 I appreciate.

[01:43:26;18 - 01:43:26;49]
Dallas
 They

[01:43:28;02 - 01:43:52;55]
Dallas
 start just kind of bringing, you know, food and water. Some of them are ripping open cages and getting people out of the cages, but everybody just kind of seems to be lost. And just kind of meandering about not real sure what to do next, but the the windigo is laying there just crumpled its head. It's the

[01:43:54;05 - 01:44:10;56]
Dallas
 bone exposed head of the is just laid to the side. Its tongue is walled out of its mouth. It's missing one antler. The other antler is sticking out of its chest as it lays there and just slowly

[01:44:10;56 - 01:44:28;41]
William
 I go and I pull the antler that I used to mortally wound at least this window go out. Take the buzzsaw attachment and I cut off a piece. I should know about 10 inches long and I pop it into my storage container

[01:44:29;43 - 01:44:30;16]
William
 and just

[01:44:31;22 - 01:44:32;04]
William
 just skip it.

[01:44:34;31 - 01:44:35;18]
William
 I go over.

[01:44:35;18 - 01:44:38;29]
Dallas
 I was going to see if you're going to like wear it.

[01:44:41;05 - 01:44:45;13]
William
 I might be planning on attaching it to my dome.

[01:44:47;17 - 01:44:50;13]
William
 You're real. You're real unicorn Godfrey

[01:44:50;13 - 01:44:53;19]
William
 and my whole world pierce the sky.

[01:44:54;58 - 01:45:00;16]
Alex
 Do any of you have a weird like iron taste in your mouth like a weird aftertaste

[01:45:00;16 - 01:45:01;03]
William
 all the time?

[01:45:01;03 - 01:45:02;45]
Alex
 Oh yeah, I guess you were.

[01:45:02;45 - 01:45:03;57]
William
 I mean,

[01:45:05;45 - 01:45:09;48]
William
 I used to have a severe iron deficiency, but that was for other reasons

[01:45:11;05 - 01:45:13;08]
Dallas
 until your blood congealed.

[01:45:13;08 - 01:45:23;59]
William
 It turns out he got the name ironing pin from his iron infusions that he got from his horrible iron deficiency that caused it all the time.

[01:45:23;59 - 01:45:38;46]
Alex
 Mr. Claus, I don't know if in your vault you had a chiropractor, but that's not how you're supposed to adjust the spine, bro. And that's not funny right now. You saved our lives. We're eternally grateful.

[01:45:38;46 - 01:45:41;48]
William
 Thank you, Mr. Claus Insky. I did what I

[01:45:41;48 - 01:45:42;51]
Super Mutant
 had to do.

[01:45:42;51 - 01:45:58;22]
William
 I'm going to go over to the window. Go because supernatural being you never know if it's actually dead despite being in many pieces and just try to confirm that it's really, really dead.

[01:45:58;22 - 01:46:01;35]
William
 Do you just like object with your beats?

[01:46:01;35 - 01:46:10;56]
William
 It's not kind of like how a chicken, you know, will flail as it's dying. That sort of thing. Just want to make sure. Just make sure.

[01:46:10;56 - 01:46:21;26]
Dallas
 So as you nudge it, it does let out like a gaseous sigh as you poke it one more time.

[01:46:22;29 - 01:46:24;25]
Dallas
 But that's all that happens.

[01:46:24;25 - 01:46:30;53]
William
 Okay. Just double checking. I didn't know if it would like smoke would rise out and be smoke monster. And it's a whole loss.

[01:46:33;09 - 01:46:45;22]
Dallas
 We haven't made it to season four of lost where they got really lost in the plot of that one. But so you guys have killed the wind to go and you guys are.

[01:46:46;35 - 01:47:10;00]
Dallas
 And this seems to be the end of the cultists because you've you not only have killed their their physical leader, but you've also defeated the real wind to go. It was beasts hallucination, real, real wind to go. You have saved these people

[01:47:11;17 - 01:47:42;34]
Dallas
 and a long line of people who have been hurt, harmed eaten by these people. You have saved the ones that were here, the men, women and children that were still in the cages. And it looks like, you know, there's there's still a whole suit of old power armor. Sands one helmet over in the corner that is powered down. The boys are here and they are, you know, they're still patching themselves up, helping patch up the folks that they have pulled out of the crates.

[01:47:43;55 - 01:47:54;07]
Dallas
 And they just look kind of lost and sad. And they have all gathered around Klesinski and you all outside of your your wounds that will heal with time.

[01:47:55;19 - 01:47:59;48]
Dallas
 You now have some mental scars that you're also going to have to deal with with

[01:47:59;48 - 01:48:02;20]
William
 the main mainly from my mind.

[01:48:02;20 - 01:48:11;37]
Dallas
 Right. It also being attached to this creature. And so now you're free of this threat and the threat that had

[01:48:13;00 - 01:48:20;11]
Dallas
 had posed to the people of your town of Dust Ridge who who fled to New Detroit.

[01:48:21;22 - 01:48:24;47]
Dallas
 So what is it that you guys what are you going to do now?

[01:48:26;02 - 01:48:36;10]
Dallas
 Are you guys going now? This only applies to to Jake and Houston. There's a there's a pair. There's some power armor sitting over there that could be taken back to Dust Ridge to be repaired.

[01:48:36;10 - 01:48:42;20]
William
 I want to take the power armor because I want to spray paint it blue. Are you going to be a blue power ranger?

[01:48:44;26 - 01:48:47;08]
Speaker 11
 I knew it. I knew it.

[01:48:48;31 - 01:48:51;58]
Alex
 You were the last person that I would trust with

[01:48:53;47 - 01:48:59;40]
William
 power ranger. I become a mythical creature in my own right with my windigo horn.

[01:48:59;40 - 01:49:02;18]
Speaker 13
 And I'm doing nice

[01:49:02;18 - 01:49:04;15]
Alex
 like I haven't changed at all.

[01:49:06;25 - 01:49:07;40]
Alex
 I'm still just here.

[01:49:10;00 - 01:49:20;51]
Dallas
 The power armor is is is in is not in working order right now. But you can ask the boys if they want to. You can ask the boys to transport it if you would like.

[01:49:20;51 - 01:49:25;21]
William
 So I can I propose something?

[01:49:26;33 - 01:49:26;58]
Speaker 11
 Yes.

[01:49:26;58 - 01:49:33;50]
William
 The threat seems to be subsided at least for now.

[01:49:35;04 - 01:49:36;34]
William
 Looking around,

[01:49:37;37 - 01:49:51;27]
William
 there are lodgings here. There was the basic structure of a community and there are people that need to rest and they need to heal.

[01:49:52;38 - 01:50:04;49]
William
 What if we make this our base for the time being so that we can help to rehabilitate the victims here?

[01:50:04;49 - 01:50:31;32]
Alex
 And then once we've built a little community here, we reunite with our friends and our larger community that are in New Detroit. And then as a full strong family, we can head back to Dust Ridge and make it better than ever. Now that there's no murder, her murderous scientist in our midst, there's no more cannibals. We can go back and make Dust Ridge a home

[01:50:32;54 - 01:50:36;44]
Alex
 and just go back to being scrappers and nothing can ever go wrong.

[01:50:36;44 - 01:50:41;23]
William
 I say that we make this our base

[01:50:42;32 - 01:50:47;46]
William
 for now. We help the victims to heal. Then

[01:50:48;55 - 01:50:50;21]
William
 when everyone is

[01:50:51;38 - 01:51:01;01]
William
 ambulatory and transport ready, we meet up with the rest of our town in New Detroit. And then together we rebuild Dust Ridge.

[01:51:01;01 - 01:51:01;36]
Alex
 And

[01:51:02;40 - 01:51:04;44]
Alex
 nothing goes wrong ever again, right?

[01:51:04;44 - 01:51:06;12]
William
 Never. Never. I

[01:51:07;26 - 01:51:13;12]
William
 ran the statistics on that in approximately 0.003 seconds and I will keep them to myself.

[01:51:13;12 - 01:51:15;57]
Alex
 Never tell me the odds. Yes, I...

[01:51:17;21 - 01:51:18;57]
Alex
 That's how you make a reference.

[01:51:22;27 - 01:51:29;35]
Dallas
 That was fantastic. So yeah, you can absolutely do that. You can make that your temporary home and then...

[01:51:29;35 - 01:51:31;16]
William
 Our command center, if you will.

[01:51:31;16 - 01:51:33;11]
Dallas
 Yeah, and as time passes, you can

[01:51:34;23 - 01:51:51;57]
Dallas
 go about what else you would like to do. Now the boys are still standing here. You do still have potentially... It may not be your problem, loose ends with Carlos Mendoza as well, as they are out there, as he's out there doing who knows what.

[01:51:53;19 - 01:51:56;51]
William
 That's something I say that we handle in season three.

[01:51:59;10 - 01:51:59;26]
William
 Sorry.

[01:51:59;26 - 01:52:19;08]
Alex
 I just had a weird, like, "hi of mine" moment when you said that, Godfrey. It was like a wall in front of me just broke and fell away and I saw an audience of people wearing strange normal clothes and in cars driving to work and a grapefruit logo. He said the magic word!

[01:52:21;30 - 01:52:28;34]
Alex
 Some scar in the shape of a lightning bolt. It was very strange, all of it. I don't understand anything.

[01:52:28;34 - 01:52:31;31]
Super Mutant
 I'll let you wrap up the end of the season in a second,

[01:52:31;31 - 01:52:35;19]
Speaker 10
 but we... What's a season? Sorry.

[01:52:35;19 - 01:52:37;48]
William
 Klaus knows it's a show this whole time.

[01:52:40;44 - 01:52:47;54]
Alex
 He does see us when we're sleeping and he knows when we're awake. He knows if you've been bad or good. So be good for...

[01:52:47;54 - 01:52:49;35]
Super Mutant
 for goodness sake!

[01:52:50;50 - 01:53:34;36]
Super Mutant
 But... I am going to take my boys. My boys, they need to heal. My boys, I've lost one of them because I let them go. In my shame of failing them in the vault, I will not fail again. I take boys back into vault and we go back into hiding for a long time. But hopefully, things will bring us back together. May not be today. May not be during this season of life. It may be another one. But I love you boys and if you need anything, remember hanging lights and tree

[01:53:35;39 - 01:53:36;30]
Super Mutant
 and we will come.

[01:53:36;30 - 01:53:37;18]
Speaker 11
 Yeah.

[01:53:39;15 - 01:53:40;29]
William
 Thank you, sir.

[01:53:40;29 - 01:53:47;58]
Speaker 13
 And I walk over and I grab Jeremy's leg, which I can barely get around with my arms. And just grab it.

[01:53:47;58 - 01:53:52;28]
Super Mutant
 It's okay, little... little peanut. It's okay.

[01:53:52;28 - 01:53:53;38]
Speaker 14
 Thanks, Jeremy.

[01:53:53;38 - 01:53:57;55]
Dallas
 He... he pats him on the head and his neck pops a little.

[01:53:57;55 - 01:54:02;45]
Speaker 13
 But also, wait a second. You're like... you're like one vault over. I could come see you. I've got a Pip-Boy.

[01:54:02;45 - 01:54:08;14]
Alex
 I've got... I've got a Pip-Boy. I could just like come visit you in your vault at some point in the future, right?

[01:54:08;14 - 01:54:10;47]
Super Mutant
 All they would quest allows is...

[01:54:12;21 - 01:54:12;55]
Speaker 13
 Okay.

[01:54:12;55 - 01:54:17;42]
Super Mutant
 Okay. Listen to new radio broadcasts. It will lead you to vault.

[01:54:19;18 - 01:54:25;37]
William
 Okay. Yeah, yeah. I'll do that. Your harrowing assistance has been...

[01:54:27;43 - 01:54:38;30]
William
 Truly... we would not be standing here if it were not for you. I'm not standing. I'm hovering. But we... we would not be here if it were not for you. And for that, I am eternally grateful.

[01:54:38;30 - 01:54:47;39]
Super Mutant
 It was an honor to meet you, Metal Man. You are more man than we ever thought would be. And you, Jerky Man,

[01:54:48;54 - 01:55:04;20]
Super Mutant
 it was pleasure meeting Arthur, who got us through being in vault and who got us through being after. I hope you finish books and we look forward to meeting them and meeting you again. You are hero in our book.

[01:55:05;21 - 01:55:08;16]
Speaker 14
 I

[01:55:10;27 - 01:55:10;52]
William
 will...

[01:55:12;04 - 01:55:15;02]
William
 I will do my best to finish "Condo of the Lizard."

[01:55:17;06 - 01:55:27;18]
Super Mutant
 We must go now. We also look for poetry left behind. But we leave you with this one poem from

[01:55:28;26 - 01:55:29;29]
Super Mutant
 our lost friend.

[01:55:31;10 - 01:55:40;02]
Dallas
 And so they... they fold a piece of paper that one of them had tucked away and they hand it to you all for one of you to read.

[01:55:41;43 - 01:55:42;38]
Alex
 Friends here.

[01:55:43;54 - 01:55:44;35]
Alex
 Me here.

[01:55:46;14 - 01:55:47;35]
Alex
 Big world out.

[01:55:49;27 - 01:55:50;31]
Alex
 You smell like home.

[01:55:51;38 - 01:55:52;41]
Alex
 Like campfire.

[01:55:54;09 - 01:55:55;08]
Alex
 Like yesterday.

[01:55:56;09 - 01:55:57;52]
Alex
 Me not good with words.

[01:55:58;55 - 01:56:01;08]
Alex
 Words break easy like bone.

[01:56:02;20 - 01:56:03;09]
Alex
 Like heart.

[01:56:04;44 - 01:56:05;36]
Alex
 I go now.

[01:56:07;10 - 01:56:11;41]
Alex
 You stay strong. Remember me big. Love honkin'.

[01:56:11;41 - 01:56:14;18]
Super Mutant
 That was beautiful little peanut.

[01:56:16;34 - 01:56:21;39]
Dallas
 And so as you guys kind of gather around to look at this poem,

[01:56:22;50 - 01:56:31;55]
Dallas
 it wipe a tear from your eye, some oil from your aperture, and you look around, the boys are gone.

[01:56:33;08 - 01:56:35;53]
Dallas
 They just disappeared into the night.

[01:56:37;23 - 01:56:46;51]
Dallas
 Didn't even break a stick as they disappeared into the night. And they are gone, leaving you to help rebuild Mitten Point.

[01:56:46;51 - 01:56:49;04]
William
 Do they have another brother named Stealthy?

[01:56:49;04 - 01:57:06;47]
Dallas
 That's the secret one that got kicked out. But to rebuild Mitten Point with the help of the people that you guys helped out of captivity. And thus ends campaign one of the Big Red, but

[01:57:06;47 - 01:57:11;27]
Speaker 13
 I'm still standing slightly better than I've ever been.

[01:57:11;27 - 01:57:12;13]
William
 Well, I'm still alive.

[01:57:13;48 - 01:57:15;27]
William
 That is the count for something.

[01:57:15;27 - 01:57:26;07]
Dallas
 I did not anticipate all of you living. I did not anticipate the wind to go dying. I anticipate a lot of things there. But here we are.

[01:57:26;07 - 01:57:28;06]
William
 This was a Stranger Things ending.

[01:57:29;23 - 01:57:30;15]
William
 Everybody lives.

[01:57:30;15 - 01:57:33;26]
William
 I was anticipating the worst, but I

[01:57:34;59 - 01:57:40;03]
William
 guess I could drop the accent now. Oh, Godfrey, I miss you already.

[01:57:41;42 - 01:57:45;20]
Alex
 For now, the next campaign will be right around the corner.

[01:57:46;20 - 01:57:49;17]
William
 I need a break from these idiots.

[01:57:51;54 - 01:57:53;58]
Alex
 And so time will pass

[01:57:53;58 - 01:58:13;31]
Dallas
 as you guys take on the menial tasks of rebuilding Mitten Point and assisting the great folks that now live there in rebuilding their lives. Who's to say what will happen whenever you guys decide to venture out of Mitten Point and what adventures and buttons you guys might press?

[01:58:13;31 - 01:58:35;03]
Morgan Freeman
 And I can't wait. And with that, the stragglers went off and rebuilt all of Mitten Point. Now they didn't do it all in a day just like Rome wasn't built in a day. Rome was bombed in a day, but it wasn't rebuilt in a day, actually. I guess we don't know that because they didn't really tell us

[01:58:35;03 - 01:59:00;04]
Alex
 what happened outside of the United States. But the boars made Mitten Point their home for the foreseeable future while the stragglers rebuild the next campaign of the big red button. This has been the worst Morgan Freeman impression that Alex has ever done. I'm Morgan Freeman.

[01:59:00;04 - 01:59:01;14]
Alex
 The

[01:59:02;18 - 01:59:06;00]
Alex
 end question mark. And we'll see you guys next time.

[01:59:07;04 - 01:59:08;58]
Speaker 14
 Bye.

[01:59:08;58 - 01:59:10;40]
Speaker 11
 Bye.
