hi everyone Alex here with a couple of
things to mention ahead of today’s
episode firstly I get to announce the
winners of our first writing competition

[Music]
welcome to rusty quill gaming Halloween
special it’s pretty speak how spooky
dude beginners multiply that by fear we
are going to be doing a two-part
Halloween special this time gmt– by me
Johnny Simms writes our host of the
Magnus archives and in my own time
just as bigger gaming nerd as Alex and
with me and Ben Meredith and the
entirely silent ghost of Lydian it is
what’s that Lydia message is only we can
hear I’m not saying that on air so we
will not be conveying or repeating
anything the ghost of Lydia Nicholas
says but she is here with us in spirit
right so we are going to be playing
Deadlands
which is a western horror now you will
notice that in this the first of the two
episodes it’s significantly more Western
and in the next one it will be
significantly more horror so if you’re
expecting a spooks this time instead try
to enjoy the American accents Deadlands
is run on the savage world system both
the setting and the system are produced
by pinnacle publishing who are are
they’re just great so the savage world
system you have your five main
attributes agility smarts spirit
strength and vigor moving thinking
feeling punching and getting punched can
you punch someone in their spirit only
with words
then you also have skills which are
under those each of them have a die type
from a d4 to a d12 when you need to roll
one of them you roll that die type if
you get a 4 or above you’ve succeeded
because you’re all super special
snowflakes called wild cards you have a
protagonist superpower which is you get
an extra d6 for everything and you take
the highest of the tube you do not add
them together it also means that will
start to melt by part 2 of this yes you
also have little poker chips which you
can use to re-roll dice now there is
quite a complicated combat system it is
fast but not fast enough for a short
two-parter so for the most part if there
is combat if monsters are attacking you
I will probably say something like roll
your shooting roll you’re fighting you
will do so and then I will tell you you
want to make a shoot make another shoot
so anyone listening who is very familiar
with the savage worlds system you will
probably notice quite quickly that are
what I’m running is not the savage world
system it is entirely a system of my own
whimsy the year is 1880 and history is
not our own the Battle of Gettysburg at
the height of the Civil War in 1863
something happened something went very
very wrong
lots of people say that the Dead
returned from the grave to feast on
their living companions
and that ghosts and spirits and all
sorts of demons and monsters emerged to
wreak havoc upon the American West all
of that obviously nonsense
totes butts or whatever reason for
perfectly normal mundane reasons the
Civil War just happens to have dragged
out for about 20 years it’s currently
reached ceasefire and a stalemate
largely because just so many people are
dead in 1868 California fell into the
sea as it does it is now an area called
the great maze which is all sort of
waterways and mesas I was really really
hoping it was like ma I and it’s just
overgrown and full of a wheat no no in
fact there’s a massive famine problem
there so it should have been the great
maze for fighting
yep exactly and Metz applause shout out
for anyone who knows dead lands there is
still a massive famine problem because
this takes place in the early part of
1880 yeah I’m not gonna
explain that and people start eating
people that’s the solution to all
famines
I mean like you yes but but that doesn’t
matter
point is in the ruins of California a
new super fuel was discovered is it also
people are no no no any revelations
about it no just screams as though the
dead themselves are burning alive when
it’s used for science reasons to be fair
uranium does the same is just motion
without encounter in their daily lives
so this has caused a real renaissance in
mad science steampunk man silence nice
Anse because it hasn’t happened before
but there’s lots of steampunk mad
science all powered by this super fuel
so anything from steam wagons to ray
guns to robots or brass and cogs and Shh
that sort of thing but none of that
matters to you guys
yay or no because you are all currently
hidden in a small camp in a valley in
Arizona a long way from any of this so
you were all in jail until very recently
now I’m gonna ask everyone to go around
and quickly introduce themselves and
their characters and listener I’d like
to talk to you for a second about James
we’ve waited fifty-three without the
entire rustic your gaming podcast was
actually just one massive an elaborate
intervention because you’re so afraid of
interventions that it took this long to
get you here thanks now well James is
playing a character who’s originally
conceived and written as Carlos Vasquez
an old Mexican gunslinger however James
despite wishing to play this character
has discovered that he cannot do so okay
the character of a lot of trains
nonsense voices stalk Ben yes will you
be playing I will be playing cigarillo
Lee who comes from Brooklyn because
that’s the only American accent I can do
terribly the other ones I can’t do it
all
I’m the greatest outlaw of this
country’s ever seen I came from Brooklyn
make my make my fortune in sunny Arizona
didn’t go so well it got held up on my
first job Alex
so I’m Nathaniel Fletcher I am a male
I’m not a thief but if I was a thief I’d
be a really good thief and I’m extremely
attractive everyone I know tells me so
even if you haven’t heard it it’s said a
lot and finally bring my name Zeke I
think that says it all really as a man
if you wear these uses it’s reorder from
there so you like Groote
you wanna know anything else you can ask
I’m scared too
oh so fun little facts are most about
the carrots tree it’s got a section here
which is alive yes or I assume no yes no
these are character sheets of my own
design and I felt that they needed to
take attain all information that could
be pertinent to the game so yes there is
a small section that details whether or
not you are currently alive it is
important information
I think he’s a pretty impressive
character sheets created by Johnny and I
very much enjoy your minds
you’ve genuinely made in your mind mine
says appearance like if a barn could say
hey or slick hair slick moustache slick
everything really
Oh grizzled stubble to sharpen a knife
or not my face might be careful shaky
hands I’ve gotta freshen as yet unbeaten
face which bodes very well for me yeah
you won that’s all about boar no thanks
mr. Zig sir
so you were all in jail in Phoenix
Arizona there’s a variety of I do the
god of the American West for a variety
of crimes in fact I will let you detail
what crime will each of you in prison
for someone has too many questions he
didn’t love the answers I gave him oh my
god for robbing the Train my mistake was
trying to rob the train itself rather
than the passengers get old get me
confused sometimes a time I I tried to
UM knock over a liquor store
unfortunately I forgot my gun I didn’t
steal the dress I had the dress on me
and and the shop was changing stock you
were all in prison until a wanted bandit
that Carl
Sidebottom well who has worked
extensively with before by the name of
black jack Bronson Brooks he is neither
black his first name is not Jack but his
second name is Bronson but he just likes
the name black jack so he busted you out
and in the process the rest of you got
out as well and you fled and are now in
hiding in a gorge in Arizona because the
Rangers are currently looking for you
with black bronson all five like Jack
Bronson is currently out keeping an eye
before he’s the lookout he’s currently
the lookout yet he’s not here he’s
promised you all sorts of banditry
apparently his previous his previous
Posse got quite brutally gunned
down during a failed coach robbery
should you try robbing the coach I made
that mistake gotta rob the passengers
and he’s essentially in the market for a
new gang and you guys are apparently it
so as it stands you’re sat around a
small campfire in late afternoon it’s
very warm
oh yeah I’m off any of you guys play
cards
no maybe pacifying a bit will be dinner
we’ve already had lunch so yeah okay so
and I found these cars I don’t who’s in
mine so I play black Jack’s but it feels
like a like a misstep
so I mean poker poker poker poker poker
you look like a baby room so if everyone
wants to roll me gambling that will be
your gambling die a d6 your wild card
take the highest and if you don’t have
that skill it’s a d4 - - I’ve most roll
one dice being swindled by four No
so I’m going to say you lose $10 you
gain $2 yeah you gain $8 oh boy so
tonight is starting to fall when against
the skyline you see a horse and rider
approaching does it look like blackjack
it does look like laughter I don’t flee
like whoa yeah no well who was thought
he’s the crazy one growing Hope
dangerous young man we never know he
made Hitler 21 I will establish cold
or that multiple times before every time
I break you out of prison
every time we get a new member of the
gang go up there go crack help me old
material that’s solid gold huh bunkies
oh they’re too soon I don’t know
I mean you remember the first time we
met and I had to explain it to you but
well you didn’t understand till I called
myself
pontoon Bronson what a twist right see
two of saddles with a group of comedians
at me yeah Wow
what’s the job I don’t much care for
stands in my hot air hole like a
sniveling coward you here Bank up
customers tellers Volta can get a chance
about five miles ride to the east small
town Hensley gorge be watching a couple
of days sheriff came in two days ago
rode out now because rounds are the same
as normal shouldn’t be back that way for
a while we should have a good few days
head start before any sort of posse
comes along any deputies around now that
I could see towns too small for a
marshal of itself
now obviously killing is not ideal but
we do what we have to well that sounds
easy should be nice simple job he’ll
unfurl then all blueprints buddy is it
some paper that he’s clearly been
sketching the outside of it looks like a
wordy little injury that’s nervous all
that represents us all cops and trees
where we can retreat if necessary it
provides moderate cover it’s not I need
just draw a tree call this judge with a
steeple that’s because the church has a
steeple it’s it’s important all right I
mean I agree there’s only one page
[Laughter]
from back east with three years Carl I
know how to draw a sketch with a
statement so as fascinating as that
cartography is it’s a noble science oh
yeah
yes I am so be broaden the Oldman’s oh
now I mean surely it’s better to sort of
[Music]
[Laughter]
Wow it’s fine it’s it’s gonna get us in
the second episode this is not gonna
make it all the more brutal it’s getting
so much more for them to kill us
deliberately designed these characters
to be marriages but neither myself nor
the audience I believe you all got your
equipment from the prison John’s weapon
is that sort of thing and question do we
know what happened to the dress I’m just
a dress I’m just asking oh the dress you
were stealing far as I’m aware it’s
still back in Phoenix on topically in
the dress shop that’s fine all right
money from this job you can buy as many
dresses as you want
not many dress it depends on the
expensive happiness of his taste you I
mean this this job that it isn’t to do
with dresses and this was maybe like a
20 dress job look it okay fine sure so
so we we sneak in we sneak out I mean
that seems simple to be honest I worked
with your on a very direct sort of man
when I commit a crime what would your
preferred method
well I mean I’m I’m kind of looking here
like you say you’ve got it you’ve got a
cops I mean surely it’s easier to just
sort of do you maybe notice robberies
James 4:4 blackjack seems a little bit
more impatient than he normally is you
know that as a standard rule he’d spend
a good couple of days planning a job
like this with the people who was going
to do it at the moment he seems to be
kind of pressing you to to just go for
it
you don’t wanna go off into this sort of
thing half-cocked a normally at Ypres
para mmm I just it’s a really good
window of opportunity as far as I can
see we’ve gotta go before the sheriff
comes back exactly and to be honest I
don’t like this area
my boys were killed not a day’s ride
from here the sooner we can get out get
further west into California with as
much money as we can carry happier on de
la cámara the direct jerk I say we go in
fast hard even quick you’ll you’ll need
a lookout from the cops I volunteer for
that I think that would go really well
um all right oh you know be there I’ll
go and I eople okay yeah sure that’s out
of sight as well I’ll go there I’ll hit
the steeple I’m gonna follow my rifle
not really how I mean I’ll yell oh yeah
it’ll be great
don’t your mother think you’re gonna
shoot to get attention more like shoot a
guy no no it’s fine I’ll yell and then
ZQ you’re a strong guy you can come out
steeple smash cut to it is night on a
ridge overlooking Hensley George you can
see the squat brick building that is the
bank could you make me a stealth roll
are you going up a steep absolutely yes
it’s a smiley face yoga’s Roosevelt to
try and
hey get into the church my stealth is
formidable so we’ll roll a v8 and a v6
and a d6 that’s how the game was hello
Snake Eyes guys what auspicious
beginning to the right so the door to
the church is not locked it’s a standard
white board Church if you imagine a
Western Church it’s the picture of that
you open the door start sneaking you can
see the small staircase leading up as
the steeple behind you you come to hear
about the Lord
yes you look like I have needs a long
long long talk about the book of jokes
now you see Joe he’s had enough time to
get up to the steeple let’s go oh yeah
are you approaching on foot or horse
awesome yep you have of course I just
should say on my character sheet my
horse is called El Jefe
I like to point out because it’s called
Sidebottom yes is now called Jet Li L
Jeffy short for Laurence Jeffy Jeff a
exactly my horse says be course his name
and they’ve got a name he’s dangerous
his name is Bob okay lovely I just
wanted this put out he’s a big horse is
it because you’re a big person an old
horse would not do so much so you ride
hard to outside the bank the door is
currently closed jerk cover me I sling
my club over my back walk up to the
doors and give them a mighty kick mister
and problem and this point I’ll add this
yourself like with wall to the back of
the side rails Gary yeah you we will
that six I should point out all the ice
in dead lands and savage world’s explode
which means you roll them again if you
get the host number significantly less
excited about robust
9 9 yep you don’t break the lock but you
do break the door around the law and not
the bit of door
the whole dog is basically just a lock
suspended in an empty space that then
cartoonishly falls to the floor the
other side is what looks like a solitary
bank worker currently counting out some
piles of money doing some paperwork he
has stopped and is looking at you stick
him up boys he sticks them up so when I
said boys are gestured for my two
companions to come into the room with me
three components I forgot
[Laughter]
so yeah his hands are well in the air
and you guys enter you are in the bank
blackjack strides in behind you
everything you can bonus to the vault
and the bank teller sort of points to a
large vault door behind him yes it’s
very obvious
you’d think blackjack would have known
but apparently not he’s he’s winging it
blackjack do you know want to make him
open it no you’re still here yeah do you
want you want to watch the horses maybe
what no I got this gun holds up herb
that looks a bit big feet yeah oh yeah
but I know is that the shooter I should
point out the signal me pretty stop the
points and click into this cigarette
Olli has a sharps big 50 which is the
largest gun in the dead land setting he
does not have the strength to use it
Oh Carl go with the tail and make sure
that vault gets open right here your
mother leading the teller along there
with his rifle George is poking along
that with the barrel of it right all
right just don’t don’t there ain’t no
ain’t no cause to be yeah what about you
phone
[Laughter]
Fuzzy’s Idaho open the door
he’s starting to open default are you
going to go and check on the horse
Zeke still looking at me no I’ve been
buying up the notes yonder on the
counter no I’m kind of hovering around
the front door kind of like I could go
see the horses but I’m not gonna okay
and at this point job found himself so
page on the sick of the test we made a
bet with God because God loves to gamble
yeah it’s a point of my last sermon boy
aha God yeah loves soccer game about
r-spec does play dice not with cards or
dice or any other wicked simple thing
yeah but rather with the labs people a
father I see also yeah you know but it’s
lethal thought it is I really think that
it is a noble thing it’s climbing tall
live bakka side of it I mean yards
creation or of course God doesn’t play
dice no I imagine imagine if God rolled
a snake who can imagine what sort of let
me draw it out effects I’d really like
to see God’s creation from on high
could you facilitate that for me Father
what the steeple yeah was closed at six
after the surface Oh Oh father and such
a terrible sinner and son and I think
some perspective from maybe from on high
would grant me the chance to see the
error of stuff well I mean I’d love to
grant you your steeple base redemption
there son unfortunately
I ain’t got the key caretaker doopty
he’s probably in the saloon by now oh
that that’s such a shame you know what
you’ve given me a lot to think about
father I know I’m only halfway through
the story and oh well father father I
wouldn’t have reason to come back if you
finish now it’s so and I have my own
follow-up parable fathers you’ll excuse
me one second I have to pay a visit and
obviously in a house of cards had it be
inappropriate I just I just leave and
start heading towards the saloon all
right I’ll see you Sunday probably
absolutely father yeah I’m just heading
to lesson ass young man
[Laughter]
so are you heading I’m heading straight
to the saloon to find the caretaker okay
meanwhile the teller has opened the
vault and there is a lot more money in
there than you’d expect from a from such
a small town bank Ewing’s going so could
you make me a smart roll game just
generic smart yes this is this is what’s
known as a common knowledge role that’s
where you got smarts to see if you know
something I’ve rolled - twice - you have
no idea why there will be so much money
in there it’s quite a common I mean we
have we have we have both Union and
Confederacy here I mean technically you
should mostly be Confederacy but I mean
this far west
how interesting
all right well I do thank you for not
shooting me oh no no no that would that
would violate your cross off okay I mean
we’re not that happens I’m taking a TV
star to help you back it up he will do
it slowly and probably be stopping often
so actually make me an intimidation
oh yeah could’ve been one to take never
get my splash threat issues crunch
office yeah that’s why I think that’s
where the contamination comes her for
he’ll he’ll be bagging some money
you’ve now intimidated and threatened
him enough that as and when a Wells
Fargo agent says why did you help him
back up the money he can say he was
gonna shoot my crotch off yeah Zeke I’m
carrying the first pair of bags outside
of the pools or leaving the as it turns
round by scuttle out of the door like
yeah don’t look at the horses
okay scary man song right you two then
are now inside of the saloon can I see
cigarillo well could you pay me now just
roll Tansy’s good to explosions on my
Giro but yeah yeah you are both Jedi
10:10 brilliant six eyes are on a d6 on
a d6 then Yuri roll the six and edit
together because it explores so good and
exploring things and then a force or ten
so crowded town each other so intimately
each each four above your target is
called a reins and so if you succeed
with arrays then generally you get extra
good things and sometimes more racers do
good things sometimes it’s just it’s
just nice to know how well you’ve done
so yeah you see each other then your
eyes go back to the saloon as the doors
open and it’s a very drunk man staggers
out supported by two relatively sobered
men the drunk man is wearing a very
shiny sheriff’s style I immediately
stopped to a skidding halt look
incredibly panicked at cigarillo
immediately turn around and run back and
whilst going past the bank just sort of
gesture ha ha ha and then run back to
the church right okay Ben others scoot
back inside the door Zeke Zeke the
sheriff’s here but he’s really drunk
let’s take a look I dumped the two bags
I’m carrying just inside the door and
poked my head out yet you can see the
sheriff staggering down from the saloon
to deftly supporting him so they do seem
to be deputies they are wearing less
shiny stars but they are deputies no no
he’s just started violently throwing up
just in the street nice are the other
two supporting him and being something
until yes looking at the bank and
they’re quite distracted folks they are
literally opposite you guys other side
of the street but right now they are not
looking at the smashed door of the bank
how far away is the other side of the
street about five yards it’s quite a
quite a wide but a wide street the
commotion over hears the commotion of
cigarette only coming back into the bank
what’s the problem the sheriff’s just
come out the saloon he’s got a couple of
Deputies yeah
Chris bond at this point mr. mr.
Fletcher runs past going come on car
kakaw does it alert the sheriff on his
deputies
it definitely alerts deputies I had a
gun I would shoot you Alex
yes you’re obnoxiously loud kokorin has
caught the attention of the sheriff and
the deputies you see the smashed door
and yet they are starting to draw
weapons I’m gonna shoot one you’re just
yours gonna lean out there and shoot all
right no shootin wrong I’m gonna do a
shooting role I get D ain’t ya I’m quite
good at the shooting so I’m using the
shots big 50 yes I’m a - - yes
so that is a 4 a 4 that would normally
be a hit but it is night which is
another -2 for just being hard to see
too so one of the windows of the saloon
next to them is the gun box violently in
your hands
it’s not actually the first time you’ve
shot it but you’ve never actually hit
anything with this gun so I’m gonna deal
out some very quick initiative cards so
faces are facing so it starts with
jokers ace king so that is spades are
the highest yeah yeah again savage world
casinos will notice that I’m not
sticking to a six second round this is
just a way of ordering the chaos okay so
I know that they’re aware presumably
they are company there’s been a big old
boom gunshot which is closer the bank or
the church you are equidistant between
the two I run to the church okay yelling
salvation salvation or free Jesus
salvation the old person has just locked
been looking the front door and will
turn oh you came back to tell me about
Jojo now I know some would deserve would
dismiss what I have to say is me not
mention not a father is mr. Sheriff or
rod there seems to be a bit of commotion
skip to the King of Diamonds stones is
clubs or clubs is the lowest okay right
so cold autumn is at the door of the
vault with the bank teller behind him
mhm so I think he just takes one pace
out he stands a door shut behind him and
pulls his rifle out okay do I have
enough time to then take a shot through
the window yes but I will be giving you
a minus two because it’s a multi action
okay so you’ll be a minus four in total
sure and I’ve got my special rifle which
in on this character sheet for
I says is called Consuela my trademark
Winchester 73 right so you get one so
it’s a total of - three - you’re a try
okay so d-10 at d6 and take 3 away from
the highest oh six - really roller six
six oh yeah six is explode that’s the
ones that 7sus4 that is a hit
could you roll me your damage please
I’ll say you hit one of the deputies
sure to d8 813 Toba and you we roll the
eight because yep gory gun murder the
first first gory rules he is here so
singularly okay going slightly pale cuz
not seeing somebody actually kill no
this is probably the first time you’ve
seen a headache this is the second this
is the second job I’ve been on them yes
let me try to knock over a liquor store
so I’ll scramble into the banks I was
standing in the doorway and knock out
one of the panes and if I’m able to do
with the Maki action take a shot with my
pistol now and with my rifle we just
kind of over my back with it sure so
that was kings queens jack 10 yep
blackjack Ronson he’s going for one of
the windows that does not open up onto
the streets still in the sort of teller
area and as he does so you can see he’s
fiddling around with what looks like
some dynamite and he’s going to try and
hurl it roughly just towards the sheriff
and his cohorts
he doesn’t actually hit them but he gets
it into the middle of the street and
there is a boom various windows shatter
and just there’s a lot of smoke and dust
and panic
so that was tens nine eight I call out
you lied to us blackjack ain’t no lies
come on
they’ll be down from now let’s get this
cash out of here as quick as we can and
yeah you’re so you’re basically making
making tracks yeah I’m gonna I had two
bags or gonna pick it up and run to my
horse okay sir everyone before the
deputies are currently shaken so they’ll
try and what I only want there to be one
deputy and the share of your are shaken
they’ll be trying to recover their
senses unsuccessfully you can see a lot
more movement from the South saloon and
the sight of guns being drawn you don’t
know if they’re other deputies or just
armed towns folk because it’s the Wild
West and more importantly it’s a monster
filled Wild West so everyone has guns so
yeah it looks like you’re very close to
being swarmed by a lot of angry whole
new round Jokers aces black Jack’s a
nice black Jack’s gun for his horse
kings queens jacks Jack Carl saw bottom
is now I think by this point
ease up against the window frame poised
over em and he’s gonna take his time and
take a shot at their service okay you
ready you specifically want to kill it
kill the chef all right make me a cut
the head off the snake of law and order
in this town all right and that’s how
long yes
t-turn plus forty six five is my chest
all bare so that’s with minus one that
is a hit we drain your damage which is
to the eight
[Music]
five six is 1111 he’s got shot he goes
down and don’t know if he’s dead but
he’s certainly drunk and shots and on
the floor yeah he’s probably not going
to be trying to tackle you okay yeah so
that’s a jack
ten nine eight yep so yeah cigarillo Lee
is things are going badly tavern jail
Zeke and blackjack are going he’s also
gonna go yep just run for it yeah yeah
anyone who’s making a who’s fleeing this
round I’m gonna let you go fine calm I
have some problems what’s your what are
you want to - all right so the tavern
basically the windows of the saloon
explode we’re done fire it looks like
it’s being fired
pretty much blindly out of you guys Zeke
cigarillo and blackjack are not as
lighting a fire
and they’ve got incredible - it’ll meet
you
there’s a lot of exploding great Jesus
fire hoses right
and what is mr. fletcher doing so having
heard the gunfire mr. Fletcher is
proceeding to run to the church run past
the church while screaming oh praise
Jesus I’m saying oh oh
gracious I’m just not the book of Job
just I’m joking and Abbey Lyman
forgetting about my horse past the
church okay so everyone is fled I gonna
have cigarillo October’s probably
supposedly left yeah I’m gonna as Angie
got my horse go it’s time to go and then
I’m gonna unleash my rebel yell ability
right because Zeke has a ability called
rebel yell it’s an edge that allows
you can do a terrifying war cry of the
Federal Army which can stun people
people go like oh my god I can’t believe
he said that is that it’s so not okay
normally there’s issues with radius and
battles but I don’t use a battle map so
just give me a bellow and then roll
intimidate I have no into oh I got loads
yes what’s the opposite of not too well
given your in Arizona which this is a
pointless of war is your technique
Confederacy the saloon replies so I mean
this is great let’s all have a let’s all
have a big old gun I will let you leave
if you wish
yeah this brave I will probably I tell
you what I’ll make you ask you to make
me an agility roll don’t not get shot as
you leave sure yeah yeah six six and you
for being a bit shots it’s the bitch
let’s try every role using one of my own
you plan at it yes now fate chips or
pennies in service rules are a mechanic
for we rolling dice or normally soaking
wounds so if you get water you can avoid
getting wounded by its mental betting
I’m not really using the soaking thing
because as I say I’m massively simple
but if you’re gonna bring all your
agility there to try not get dropped a
bit better yeah so what an eight an
eight then yes you managed to get on
your horse you managed to get on and
ride away with nary a bullet in your
engine to literally minutes of that cut
to the morning you’ve been all been
riding for hours well one of us hasn’t
thinks he wasn’t on a horse truly
everything wrong
has anyone I will say that you were all
running fleeing the same direction so
you will have come across be
pathetically fleeing I spit on you
[Laughter]
blackjack will pick you up if necessary
I’m at the front and I’m just direction
I’m so angry
okay yeah yeah sound too scared of leek
do I pick them up Oh where’s the awesome
to beat the sings would be the last one
to catch them up so yeah cool so yeah
you’ve been riding now for of good few
hours there is a dust cloud behind you
you are being pursued could you all make
me write rolls no so it’s D four minus
two plus D six because we’re PCs so
that’ll be the prevail mm-hmm six two
three three right brain is fine and the
money’s on Michael James and Alex you’re
going to be at minus one to all roles
and so you get a chance to sit down for
a while because you are very sad also
only a problem if I try and do anything
new smooth and cigarillo Lee has killed
his horse at which point and how he
feels very you tell me you’ve hardly
ever ridden before
you rode off like a matter you went like
you disappeared over the horizon so they
covered by side row with my thumb out
essentially yes you you have just
aggressively ridden your horse to death
because you don’t know how horses were
curious and disappointed on leave but I
offer you a seat on the back of my horse
thanks mr. Theisen thank you I won’t do
it again
god dammit all right it should have been
easy ain’t no way that the sheriff
should have been there and the deputy
and the deputies goddammit and cold you
shut now there ain’t no way they’re
gonna leave off the chase now all right
this way and he starts riding off
following him you head down and you can
see quite a well-hidden Harry said sure
what’s inviting another pot along with
us well I’m gonna saw not it’s the only
place we got to hide right now I’m gonna
board in the brain you got it Jess what
do we do with the horses jerk well
should be space for him in there
okay we can eat them later don’t listen
[Laughter]
don’t listen to inject me and cold claps
his hands over Jeffy’s ears you each the
cave it is dark the shadows they seem to
come right up to the end the Sun doesn’t
seem to penetrate even a little bit
beyond the threshold it is a large cage
there is a lot of space in there you can
get the horses you probably wouldn’t
want to start the fire in here because
it’s a channel the smoke out quite
visibly it goes deep though it goes
quite a ways in you can’t actually see
far how long we’re gonna hold up here
jerk still I’m sure there don’t do any
of us have a source of light in any way
you various view have matches and the
black jack has a few lanterns okay which
he will hand out actually in fact I’m
gonna say he has three lanterns he will
take one
he will give Zeke one and he will give
Carl one because fair enough that’s
who’s got the best stars
someone needs to be watching the glory
we came down oh there might be me uh
yeah probably I mean I don’t trust this
man as far as I could throw it well
that’s pretty far though
blackjack was that you sound like it
came from deep ok oh good adjusting wind
yeah probably just the wheel
sorry about that loves it’s definitely
it’s definitely not the wind we’re all
in trouble we should flee immediately
all right sig row yeah yeah yeah you
watch the you watch the gourd sure call
you too I’ll watch the horses no you and
Zeke let’s go check out or I could
you’re coming with us
oh oh that’s fine black guy will hand
you each a lantern I get a lantern yes
and hey doll okay lead the way Zeke I am
right behind I have one hand on the back
of your neck and you are exactly one
arms-length in front of me then you’re
mr. lay off to the mouth of the game we
go yep yeah sure sure thing it is dark
and you can see lacing through the walls
are small veins of a dark grey rock
speckled with white that you would
recognize as ghost rock it’s about a
minute of walking the ground is
gradually going down it’s a surprisingly
deep cave when it seems to split off
into two well now we know okay excellent
so it splits into two and there was
nothing here so we can go back you know
we want to take great I’ll keep an eye
on Fletcher all right I’ll go with
alright old apparently okay here we go
yep I’ve got a Lancet in one hand I’ve
brought my club okay blackjack will
gesture for you to proceed Alex Fletcher
knows enough not to try his luck and
proceeds really slowly being really
careful because that thinks he might die
soon after about a minute you come to
what looks like a roughly carved out
cabin you can’t see any other exits from
it casting your light around it looks
like there a scrap
is over the wall what kind of scratches
name you notice wrong okay I notice is a
formidable for I’m good at stealing
things I’m not good at noticing them to
steal the six explodes mm-hmm to attend
to attend they are not fingernail
scratches they look like cause of some
sort the beam of your Lantern casts
around the room and you see what looks
like looks like a nest made of clothes
next to it is a pile of it’s hard to
tell exactly it’s leather okay we should
go die what is it called some stuff and
people and dead people and ten people
yeah definitely you sure have a look
yep I can see yep loads of loads of that
it’s not turn to look at blackjack and
you can see that a little bit of his
face is sagging away from his eye
I dropped the lantern and immediately
flee the way I came and we’ll end it
there Sookie
interestingly dropping the London isn’t
even a tactical choice it just felt
right well thank you for that Johnny and
obviously people will be returning for
our next episode we the second
concluding part of this atrocious horror
thanks again for guessing and we will
see everyone next episode
