What you were about to experience will contain violence, disturbing imagery, adult themes,
and may leave you hungry for power and blood. Proceed at your own
risk. Daylight is rare for you nowadays, Dina. Yes, James,
not for you, though. Well, it's good to see you. Have
you been keeping well? Very well? Thank you? And you well?
I better show you through your Yeah, he's waiting in your father's office.
All right. You're led through a stately familiar home, although I'm sure it
doesn't feel like home to you. And on the way to your father's office
you stand outside the door and you can hear a very very faint beeping of
an ECG machine. James knocks and holds open the door for you, and
behind the heavy looking desk and a bunch of papers is Martin. Hello,
Die, it's good to see you, Martin. Good to see you.
Do you want a cup of tea? I'd love one? Yes, thank
you, James, if you wouldn't mind. How is Manchester? Yes,
it's good, busy and how are you worried? But I'm fine? Just
kind of looks himself over. He looks a bit drawn and tired, But
when does he not? Yes, m I asked you here about well,
several things really, and well, I've noticed you've been spending a lot of
money recently, and I was I've got to keep the accounts in order,
of course, what have you been spending the money on, Bannah? Is
it? Well, I was under the impression that that money was mine to
spend as I wish. That doesn't mean you're not unaccountable. This family has
its limits. I'm working. I'm using it for work, So you're not
going to tell me. I'm telling you right now, I'm using it for
work exactly what I'm hired to do, what I was raised and trained to
do. Fight monsters. Yes, of course. And also I find it
very interesting that you're asking me questions and upset that I won't tell you what
I'm doing with my money. Brother Mine, I don't know what you mean,
Diana. I am in an open book. We both know that's not
true. Look, I just need to put something down otherwise I'll have to
it's not your money constanding, whatever that means, doesn't earn money. And
so, as the executor of father's estate, I need to make sure that
you're doing something that I can prepare for. I'm working with free lances,
small jobs, okay, where we are helping rid Manchester of a dangerous force,
which, if I remember correctly, is entirely why Father had me in
the first place. So I am merely using father's money to do as he
bade me too, as I always have done. Yes, I know that
you are. That's the word. It's loyal, I suppose, not not
questioning that. I just just needed to check, which brings me on to
my second point. Father isn't doing very well. Big surprise there, Yes,
well after the coma is his health has begun to deteriorate, and well,
honestly I really like him to wake up. Talk to him again.
I know this has been incredibly hard on you, Martin, different than it
has been for me, and I apologize, but you have to understand where
I come from as well. What would you have me do? I can't
imagine there's any services I can provide that the top doctors in the country cannot.
You can find a way to wake him up, put the monster hunting
to good use. Look, I will fund any request you have as long
as you try to find something that will fix whatever's wrong with him. And
are you finally going to tell me. Have you grown desperate enough? Because
I'm waiting. Some things aren't mine to tell. Diana h Once upon a
time, I would have thought that of all the people, you would have
said something. This is about the family now, I'm afraid before it was
just about you, me and you. I I I'm sorry? All right?
Is that all Martin? You mean? Is that all? Is that
all you have to say? Is that all you asked me here for?
Find a cure for father, which I'm happy to do. I will certainly
look into it, Okay. I just I don't. I don't want you
to take this lightly mm hmm. I will not. He's your father too.
What is a father, Martin? I know he didn't raise you,
but you need to remember from where your blood flows and where everything you have
comes from. That's what father is. M You don't remember him at all?
Do you? Not? A fond memory of him? Christmases? Marie's
Sister's gone from your mind entirely. He was blood too, you know,
our father's blood, your blood, my blood. Uncle Reese was a good
person and he did what was right by the family. He upheld his duty.
It's now passed down on to you. I regret that he's not here
anymore. At least he kept the family name. Is that what this is
about? No, No, it's not. Honestly, it's not. I
feel that I have done tremendous good to this family. I have been loyal.
I have served my time, dedicated my life, lost a father,
gained a father, lost another father. You and I were quite close,
but you weren't in those streets when I was training, when I had to
learn, when father put me to work fifteen. You'll forgive me if I'm
not weeping at his bedside. I will do my best to utilize the skills
that he instilled in me to find a way to help him. But please,
please do not talk to me about blood and family. You sit here
behind a desk calculating numbers. The money I spend very well, I uh,
at least go and see him before you leave. I don't know why
you to think of that, but I would appreciate it. Yes, of
course. And your brother stands up from behind the esque and opens the office
this door, and you can hear that beeping, slow and steady as he
leads you through into the adjoining room bedroom converted into a room full of medical
equipment. Make your aged father comfortable there he is lying in a coma.
I step forward, walk close to the bed and look at him. I
think you notice he looks still and calm. Perhaps, and honestly, if
you didn't know he was in a coma, you just assume he was sleeping.
Doesn't it look dyeing or unwell? He otherwise looks the picture of health.
Thank you, Martin. I'll be leaving now. Martin walks up to
your father's bedside and takes his hand and just kind of nods as you begin
to leave. Could you please roll me four D ten please twenty seven mm
hmm. That is two successes out of possible four. Would you like more
successes than that? Yes, spend the point of willpower and reroll to D
ten. No. On this occasion, everything seems as it should, and
you return to your car into the city, and then you find yourself at
are we calling it the office? Now? Yes? You find yourself at
the office with everyone else who is researching, preparing, generally getting themselves ready
for the night. Who else would be at the base of yours? Obviously?
You see Olie knows deep in a book what time is it? Uh?
Late afternoon? Afternoon, waits the afternoon? This afternoon, good afternoon
only certainly not down here none. How fair is the knowledge? Well,
I've got nothing. I think we need to find this priest or the USB.
Remind me again about the priest a priest. It's in the report I
put on a desk, Darren pen Thorpe. I've got an address. He
was on Google. My apologies. Have had a bit of a morning,
right, Yes, had a bit of a morning. Oh no, that's
all right. I've had quite enough today. Work is good enough, yes,
m h yeah, no, I do Regent Jones is unless region is
a title, and then that could be anyone, you know, commoner named
Jones is. I believe we should definitely follow up on the priest. That
seems the strongest lead that we have. Yeah, we're definitely been quite No,
and it's been quite a while since I've been to church. Yeah,
it's a nice one round here. I ain't been. I mean it looks
nice on the outside, quite like churches. Some can instruction around it though,
mm hmm. Have you seen any of the others today? Nah?
Theeos. I don't know how long it took him, but I think he's
gone to see Basa. I think Calor was around. I can't remember.
Sorry, nos in these books. You know it's all good, Yes,
tonight we will speak with the priest. All right, Well, good enough.
The church closes at four. But I think there's a like a refractory
there where priests would live, I assume it, being right. See the
only priest there? Uh nah, there's like two other priests. Well I
think once a vicar or priest in training. Yes, but I don't think.
I don't think they do any services or nothing. How long has the
priest and training worked there? Do you happen to know? I ain't got
no numbers on that I can all right, I'm in googling. I imagine
sometimes when you work together with someone for a very long time, they happen
to have more information than you and less incentive to keep that information private.
So right, okay, you think we can't trust the priest, can't trust
the priest? Yeah? Likely not. I mean a monster had his name,
yeah, but it says they were investigating him. It says mark person.
The priests mr have the mark. I'd love to see the mark.
Mm hmm. Well, I believe we should play it safe at first and
then perhaps gather our bearings and speaking with him brave afternoon to you. Look
at this, You know what that is? Is that a fucking N one
garrant? That is an N one garrant and a little special gift for you,
brother. Look at that MP forty that is full on fucking axis powers.
Why if you give me a Nazi weaveon broth? Well, I don't
know, maybe these famires are Nazis or whatever. You know what I mean?
Right? What how do you even find nine millimeter parabellum? You haven't
you Nato? Have you used NATO in there? I've absolutely got no idea
where he got that box of bullets from. But look at that thirty two
round detachable box goes on the side of it. Yeah, hang on,
there's some fucking cello tape. You can strap that to the side of the
fucking carriage. That's insane. I like it. I'd like to investigate the
bullets. Are they nine milimeter Nato or are they nine milimeters parabellum? That's
up to bread. There's a box of bullets that I bought off the Geezer
called Barry in dagon and Market, behind dagon and Market. So I they're
parabellum. Oh somehow they are correct? Fucking hell, yeah, it's a
parabellum. What the buddy? Hell? All right, all right, it's
safe, it's safe. Yeah, got myself this same one, Garren.
I don't know how to fuck this thing works. Really, we'll have to
give it a go later on. You know what I mean? You got
any magazine strip eclipse for it? Well, I've got bits and pieces fucking
gas powered thoughn't it? So you know what if some sort of like emp
shit happens again, like what happened in Watford, don't want that to happen
again. So this is pretty fucking useful, I reckon, right, And
what we're coming up against, well, I can't believe you've got a fucking
name one, Garon mate. Oh fuck, look at this as well.
That is an obsidian blade, right, looks really old? What's for?
I don't know. Baza said that you can probably fucking kill anything with it.
You know you're sticking with that. Anybody that says that cats can't do
the left, well can they have you done that fucking science? You know
what I mean? Maybe he's all right, I've seen cats turn left.
No I haven't done the test, because of course cats can turn right.
Have a look. Maybe I'm going to tape that to the front of this
lot of bayonet. You know what I mean? Looking at this obsidian blade?
Is it made of obsidian? Uh? Do wits academics? Role?
Waits academics? How much do you know about minerals? How do I do
a Wits academ Oh I've done it the wrong. Oh yeah, it's academics
wits. I thought, sorry, what you got that is three? Yeah?
That's uh. That is actually a obsidian. It has been forget the
word, but it has been crafted by knocking a stronger or more solid form
of rock against it and then notching that. It's got a slight serration on
the curve of the blade because these well, it's pretty fragile. But it
is basically the darkest obsidian you've ever seen. Normally it has like a slightly
red or green hue. Is it just a blade or does it have like
a hilt and stuff like that. The hill is definitely more modern than the
blade it was. It looks like it's been stolen from a some sort of
military knife. It's certainly stockier and hardier, but yet the the obsidian blade
is slotted right right in there. All right, Well, the hilts later
definitely made later. You might want to be careful putting this on your gun,
though, brother, Why what is obsidian? It's really it's brittle that
is sharp like glass. Chat fucking now he saw me a glass blade?
Obsidian is kind of like one use knife. Yeah, but shot. If
you look at the serration's ear oka color. I was wondering where the fucking
careboo is? Where's neo? Neo? Heah? The other one Jack,
she's visiting ah foor thing? All right, yeah, personally do you ever
seen a n one? Garren? No? I was actually just taking a
picture. Can I see the the blade ever? Shot? I don't want
to hold it, I just want to take a picture of it. Yeah,
careful, it's fragile, it's like obsidian basically that's made of like it's
basically glass. Oh wow, okay, well how are you supposed to use
it? Then? One you've seen it? Kill anything, kill god with
that? Really? What Basa said? Yeah? But Basa said, if
you're eat enough, honey, you're turning to a bee? Yeah, Diana,
yes, yeah, you're putting the kettle on or what ah, yes,
I will put the kettle one. Do you think you all right?
I'll tell you what. I had a fucking long drive. I curbed the
van. Now I might have fuck the axis axel. Actually is what you
are offered tonight. I'm not a fucking Nazi. Well for now you are.
I'll putend I'm one of the allies who confiscated it. Are you actually
a Nazi? No using a fucking Nazi weapon? Look at at Oh,
it was just it was a Neo reference and then the Nazi No, all
right, I don't think Neo went up against the Nazis in that movie.
No, he didn't. It's just I thought you were making a clever neo
Nazi reference. I guess now. I was off my tits when I watched
it, though, To be fair, when aren't you. Yeah that's a
good point anyway, and fucked the van up. It still drives, it
just pulls to the left of it. So uh, yeah, that was
clever, very clever. No, never mind both a little to the left
anyway, it's no big deal. Thank you for the tea. Oh,
yes, of course, anyone else tea? Yeah, cheers? Who well
are we doing today? And then we're gonna go and catch another one.
No, we need doss sorry Dinacle. Oh, of course research ages.
M h, it's not really research, it's more questioning. We will be
going to meet with the priest tonight to ask questions the priest that is apparently
marked. We will be subtle hm in this line of question sing, Do
I just try to get as much information? Yes? Yes, you fucking
do. Mm hmmm, I have no, you don't need to change care
bear walking into a fucking church? Why I do everything? Have you seen
them? Smocks? They were okay writing nouns are going to fucking pass out.
Don't think there's any nuns there? Where are they? Then? In
a compoun nuns? Nuns in a compent nomination? What denomination is this priest?
Specifically Maths England, Church of England? Okay, all right, yes,
no nuns in the Church of link Englin as far as I know,
yeh, Diana. Yes. Price walks into a bar. He looks around
all the ugly wolves. He says to the bartender, my son, you
must repaint all right. The other was quite good. That was terrible,
the mild pun at best. Do we need to fucking worry about him?
Then? If he's marked or what we're bringing the fucking tools? No,
I don't believe. So, oh we think he's some tools. I don't
know. Actually I suppose, but I wouldn't in a church and they can
be Yes, all right, best be prepared, then a couple of weapons,
not the orchid and kaboodle, as they say. Does that me nice?
Do I have to leave harber behind? Yes, I'm dreadfully sorry.
The only things we know are effective are then carbon steel blades, yours and
early water. Oh yes, I got a bunch of the holy water.
It's over in the corner there by the closet behind the stuffy steaks will also
be non negotiables from here on out, so please everyone grab a steak.
Yeah, there's another one there too, the pink one. It's a little
bad. Yeah that one. M put them down gently next to the other
one. They're friends, thank you? Yeah, oh I like that they're
hugging. Thank you. Well you made sense with the wings. Yes,
you can have all of your weapons prepared, and basically everything is sat in
the van and everything slightly more subtle can be with you if you'd like.
Perfect. Well, everyone, if you're ready, we should probably arrive before
it's too late in the evening. So now, yes, is everyone prepared?
You finished? Yeah, I've got this little this little fucking biscuit ear
en Field number two in it? Yes, all right? How long will
it take us to get the Saint Basil's Uh, probably about forty five minutes
drive and that will take you to the cusp of night. What are you
getting dark by the time we get there? Yeah? Pretty spent by it,
though, I don't know. That's what i'd do, hiding plain sight.
Yeah, but they've got to be out in a day, isn't they.
I'm beadings multiples. Think about what a church is, right, It's
like a big fucking brick mausoleum. In't it like really being outside? They
blasphemous? What not one big mausoleum place of worship? Right? Well?
You worship of grave and all. Also, it's Church of England. It
is not Catholics, is it? I don't know. Well here it is
all right, before we get too deep into discussing theology, that's all.
Pile into the band and head on out for our hopefully uneventful evening, well
hopefully slightly eventful, right, because we want some information. Yes, that's
true. Information would be good partially. And for how many books can I
take? I suppose as many as you can carry while also doing your job.
You want my fluffy backpack? No, I don't mind it up.
I'll go ok. Thanks. You all pile into the van, and eventually,
as I said, the cusp of night dawns or dusks. It dusks
on you and you can see some basils as described by Ollie. It is
under construction. There's clearly something a bunch of scaffolding up up the side of
it, and it's covered in part on the roof, and the light so
all on you can see through these beautiful medieval not stained glass, but certainly
leaded, small panes of glass shining out a very warm glow inside. Can
everyone make me a wits awareness role? Okay? Two oh two, you're
right there, people, I did wits instead of doing awareness then wits.
Sorry, ones, It's fine, I can Okay, there we go.
It is decided fear with the highest roll. As you're walking through the graveyard
that surrounds this area, it's the darkness is rather oppressive. The only place
you can really see anything is the path up to the huge your doors inside,
and then a few flecks of gray as you watch rows of gravestones peer
out the shadow as you're looking around, actually see something move in that shadow.
It looks like a shaggy black dog, huge like Saint Bernard's size,
or maybe uh it's an Irish greyhound, Irish wolfhound kind of size. That's
just kind of the back end of a dog walking through a nudge, Ollie,
you say that you don't see anything. In fact, theo you don't
see anything? Now, how funck would it go? Oh quick? We
want to take our hopeful lee sort of eventful but not quite eventful? Selfie?
Yeah, are we ready to go in? Yeah? Yeah, gone
in? Lead on, Furby and I will skip forward. Brother, The
Garran's a bit odd, too concealed, don't you think? All right,
I'll put it in the fucking back of the van. I still got this
though, and nudge to this just ridiculous old mark one thirty eight in my
trial is just literally in my waistbanded. It's not in a hole store or
anything. I'll be honest. I hope you got the safety on. Wait
does it even have a safety? Almost? Definitely not any Field number two
from World War two British issue thing. Yeah, no safety there, you
just got to make sure you don't shoot your dick off. Safety is don't
pull the trigger. And then yeah, I'll go and put their garrand in
the back of the van. But now I'm reluctant to do it because okay,
I think I just saw a wolf. Yeah that's fair enough. You
all make it inside and you see kind of a ton of chairs and things,
and you know, remnants of coffee and snacks on a table on the
side, and in this very clearly hundreds of years old church that was an
event happening, and you see a kind of fluffy head man in a pretests
black garb tidying up essentially. Just so I'm clear, this is not a
Catholic church. It is not, thank you now, this is Church of
England, which is different Catholic light. It's Catholic light. Do they still
refer to their priests as Father? They can do or all, but it's
nowhere near as formal and it's certainly not not what you would expect from a
Catholic church, which is gold everywhere, huge decorations is very plain. There's
bear stone. There are no decorations from various famous and wealthy people's graves inside,
but everything is either wood or graystone, or candles or black painted metal.
It's very austere in comparison. All right, hello father, Ah,
good evening. How are you? How are you? I'm afraid you've you've
missed the meeting. But if there's anything you'd like to know or I would
like help with, there's some coffee and some biscuits on the one side.
Perfect Do you need help tidying up? Yes, of course if if you're
willing, of course, yes we we we can. We can talk and
we can uh tidy up. Just fold the chairs up and put them over
there. So what if you all come here for I would like to be
taking a look at if I can see anything on his hand while he's tidying
up, Like while I'm getting close enough to like talk to him. I
would also like to be doing that as well, but I'm using the zoom
on my phone. I'm like pretending to get tea and biscuits, maybe actually
nibbling on one. Oh we help by going up to him and shaking his
hand. Oh yeah, okay that no one needs to roll, although Diana
does clock it before anyone else with five successes. Wow, okay, well
that's why she's in charge. Basically, as soon as you walked in.
Down there you knew as he was reaching out to grab chair and pick it
up on his palm is a dark mark. Yes, very clearly. You
can't see it in detail, but okay, and when you go to shake
his hand, Polly, and when you use your camera color, I'm not
even looking, by the way, dear, you're drinking. I'm just here
if the wind chip pops off. I meant in all the fucking biscuits around,
yes, help yourself, chocolate, well, thank you, I will
just put them in, put them in my back. That's right. I'm
afraid that's a sin. Chocolate. Let's tone out strong tonight. Father.
Yes, there were quite a few people looking to help us fundraise, which
is good because we need it. Uh. If if you're interested, there
are there are flyers. But it's in the it's in the early stages at
the moment, I am, Is that what you came here for? Well,
honestly, I'm thinking of how do I say I'm thinking of switching teams.
I suppose I can't think of a better way to say it. I
didn't know you were gay. No, I meant Catholic. I'm looking into
the Church of England as a potential my mistake. Oh okay, Well,
what were there any events or revelations that led you here? Let me see
what nearby? Yes, I do, And well I recently moved to Manchester
and I kept seeing this beautiful church. And well, I suppose I have
been drifting from my faith father quite a bit. I'm not sure if Catholicism
is for me anymore, and I'm not very well versed in the Church of
England. So I thought i'd dropped by, and well I saw you here
putting things away. It must be so terribly busy for you. I can't
imagine you. Well, I can imagine that you would be quite tired with
all these events. I will be honest, it has been very tiring recently.
Yes, And I can explain some of the differences if you like.
Yes, I'd love that you said you've been quite tired recently. Is that
new? I think's that busy over here? Well, we're always busy supporting
the community. But I would say that I've had I've had a bit of
a more difficult time recently. But it has the roof collapsed, so I've
been having to deal with a variety of administration things which are draining apparently,
my goodness, I'm sort of here that why did the roof fall in?
Quite honestly, I'm I'm not sure. We had a survey done and nothing
was found, and then it collapsed and well, certain parts of it were
rotten, but there's things that we can replace. It's it's rather pooring and
technical and unfortunate, isn't it that it wasn't caught earlier. There's a lot
of lead on the roof and that's worth a bit of money. Lead,
yes, which is why it's going to be so expensive to replace what was
someone's jacked order lead? Right? Not this time? Not this time.
It might have been what happened though. Someone's probably broken in and tried to
nick all the lead out of the roof. Water damage, Yes, someone
might have done that at some point. Yeah. What type of dog is
that? By the way, you've got fucking massive dog. Uh well,
I don't have a dog. Where did you see a dog? Might be
one of us? All right, people go dog walking around the church or
what on occasion? Is there a graveyard? Yeah? In the in the
graveyard, that's all a fucking massive dog, massive dog. Well, it
could could be the church Grim. What's that mean? Oh, church Grim's
fun bit of local, well British folklore about a guardian spirit dog that shepherds
the souls of the dead and whatnot, and all of those who reside within
a graveyard and common a spirit or a cryptid. I suppose I in my
studies I did a little bit of folklore overlapping with my theology. So it
was partly an inherited fear of woodlands. It was an inherited fear of wolves
and vicious animals that could kill people. I thought we didn't have wolves,
not anymore, but we used to be. We used to Yes, we
used to have bears. But yes, the church Grim and ended up incorporated
into church folklore and no like the evil eye and ill omens and such which
I hope you didn't see it, because we don't need any more ill omens
here. Why because the roof fell in? Do you think that was an
ill omen It's not a good thing. Yeah, it was probably a bunch
of sixteen year old boys who wanted a few coins. Maybe. How much
we can do about it now, how much that costed you. Then a
few blokes might be able to bring the price down, you know what I
mean. If there's in restoring listed buildings, then certainly I will. I
will take their information if they can make it cheaper and they've they've got the
qualifications. I work with a Pheugh Cartman who's back in London. I don't
know if they've come all the way up here, but it's a big fucking
job and it's so it's probably worth a few bob, absolutely tens of thousands
of pounds. Okay, now, yes you got all that money from then
Jesus. Jesus provides many things, but unto Caesar, and all that with
fundraising from the community. Father. Actually, I realized I hadn't mentioned another
reason why I came here specifically, was on recommendation from Oh what was that
gentleman's name? I can't remember it, but he was a ginger hair,
quite tall, slim. Oh I swore he was a member of your congregation,
but I cannot remember his name. Blast you're talking about Danny, Danny,
that might be it. Yes, very into sci fi novels. Yes,
yes, that's Danny. Ah Okay, all right, Yes, he
absolutely recommended coming here. Is he a member? Yes? I think when
did you talk to him? Oh, Carlo, when was that perhaps a
week? A week or two ago? It was last week? It was
a clamber bunny chance, very plonful. Well, I'm not one to judge.
Honestly, I'm quite worried about him. He disappeared a few months ago.
Oh goodness, I'm so sorry to hear that. If we just saw
him last week? You mean he stopped coming to church. Many do,
but he was practicing and it wasn't consistent, but he was. Do you
do you have a way to get in contact with him? People have been
asking since he's was this about two weeks ago? No? Couple of months.
I'm I'm afraid no, I don't have a way of getting a hold
of him. I might have barely check, thank you? Yes, she
probably mhm okay, father, I've seen that going around. Is that like
a skin rat. He looks at his palm and he seems to his eyes
got a bit glassy and seems to kind of zone out a little bit,
and he touches it and it doesn't seem to cause him any pain. But
eventually he snap snacks, snaps back to h and Oh, I guess you
could take a photo of it. Oh, that was an accident. I'm
sorry, I'm trying to scroll through my contact not a problem. I I
got it when the roof collapsed. It hasn't healed properly. And I do
have a look. I studied a bit of medicine at school. Yes,
yes, I've shown it to the doctor and they said it wasn't really anything
to worry about and would go away on its own. But he shows it
too. I do have certain skills doctors might not have. I'd like to
investigate this, Josh, Yeah, intelligence medicine. Oh so I did walk
around and try to investigate. I don't know if I found anything. What
were you looking for? I also walked around, but I was actually just
genuinely looking at the carpentry and the ceiling. Oh, I was looking for
anything suspicious, anything monstery or vampirey. Not that I really know what that
looks like, but I was trying vampirey or monstery. Honestly, this is
a medieval church, so most stuff could very easily fit in a hot hammer
horror film. Wonderful? Is there any way to reroll that? Josh?
Absolutely, you can spend a willpower point and we're all three D ten again,
and you have one desperation dice at the moment. It's a bit late
for that now, but depending on your creed, you can add that in
certain situations. Nothing one success. It seems as he describes it is.
It looks kind of like a bruise, a little bit more shapely, a
bit more circular. Nothing clearly caused it. You can't go, oh,
he got a splinter, or oh something crushed his hand, because you can
feel the bones are fine. There is no medical information you can get out
of this. There's the symbol now, I can see it in a blurry
photo. Does this Is it like just a dart? Is it some sort
of symbol that I can make out? There is a kind of faint shape
to it, which one second is a it's almost a kind of ring around
the edge of the mark. I mean, it's kind of fuzzy and jittery,
and depending on the lines on his hand and the bumps on his skin,
there is a kind of a circle with a kind of diagonal wiggly line
through it. Nothing looks clear. Have I seen the symbol anywhere? You
have not? Okay? I would like to is it possible for me to
read some of his demeanor, like get to read on his person. Yes,
you can wits plus not empathy. You wits plus insight slightly different versions.
Unfortunately, after you walk around calor, you can't really discern anything that
is specifically vampirey or monastery. No, there is holy water maybe in the
c probably not, but there's like crucifixes everywhere. It's like nothing jumped at
you. Same for you thea the carpetry looks good, and in fact,
you probably imagine like there's nothing that looks wrong with the roof, aside from
the fact that part of it is clearly broken, no water damage or nothing.
No, what you can see, it doesn't look like you've cut yourself,
Josh, I'm going to get a bottle of holy water and make like
I'm trying to clean the mark with the holy water. Okay, You're going
to need to roll for me, okay, and that will be a resolve
plus a cult. The roles are not with you today, not at all.
You dab on with like a handkerchief, a little bit of holy water
onto this mark, and he definitely reacts, but nothing changes about the mark.
He remarks, why is that uncomfortable. Is that alcohol or m tingle
is more of the word. I suppose the water. I say this sort
of like projecting backwards the water tingled a bit, I suppose is it just
on the mark edge? Tingled on on where the mark is? I'm just
going to touch his other hand with the holy with the tissue. What about
that one? This one's fine. This is a very strange reaction test.
Yeah, it's more of a safety test. Okay, well, I'm I
feel perfectly safe. Sorry, I don't like you. I don't think he
knows anything, Allie, I think you're right on my read on him.
I rolled three successes. You did roll three successes. What sort of what
the sort of things would you like to know about his demeanor? I would
like to know if he is deceptive in any ways, any deception lies,
any sort of subterfuge. There is nothing insidious about his words so far.
He seems genuine and open so far. Okay, well, father, I'm
sorry to hear about the roof, and thank you for indulging us. I've
seen that same sort of skin condition floating around. You're not the first person
who I've seen with it, so I find it very curious, and as
you can see, my colleague finds interest in it in a medical purpose as
well. So thank you for indulging our curiosity. Of course your brand had
that mark as well. Danny, is that his name, the one you
wanted me looking for in my phone? The ginger one? That's right?
He had the mark, that's right. I don't know what to tell you.
He's If he had the mark, then i'd I don't know what it
means. Perhaps there's something going around the When did you say the roof collapsed?
It was? When did I say the roof collapsed recently? It was?
It was a week ago. Hmm. Don't read anything into that.
That was me. I will try not to, but I can't help it
because he said he saw him last a couple of months ago. But he
got the mark when the roof collapsed? Is that what he said to us?
So are you trying to mess with him? Because Danny, I am
you did not have the mark. I am to see if he gives us
any more information. I mean, it seems pretty obvious that he's rather confused,
starting to think that he might be ill. But yeah, he didn't
seem to know anything about that, all right, all right, well,
thank you so much for your time. Father. I hope we haven't interrupted
your evening too much. No, I appreciated the help. If you want
to come back and we can talk about any philosophical differences you may have,
feel free, perfect, Yes, I'd love to thank you. Go for
a sit down, Yes, of course, we bid you a good night.
Oh a, sorry, before I go, can I use your toilet?
Yes? Of course? Just over uh calor can you give me on
please? Of course? We'll meet you outside. All right, okay,
Ollie color? What is what? What is this? I don't know,
but I know he doesn't normally ask for help, so this must be work
related and that excites me. And we're sort of away. Mm hmmm,
all right, is Mark reacted to bolleyball? All right? Yeah? I
saw that a little bit. He said it tingled right, Yeah, but
it was fine on his other end, so he's not a h right.
But also, this person was supposed to be investigated for the whereabouts of a
us B stick. You're saying he should have the stick? Hey, he's
got it in his victory? Are we going to go try to find it?
Is that what we're doing right now? Not the stealthiest. Look at
me, I should have changed. I can try, but I'm also not
the stealthiest right now. Yeah, but you're athletic. Might be able to
get in a window small too, Okay, Yeah, I can try that.
I will. He wrote about it really loudly. Or maybe you could
talk to him about so much better, idea, much better, have a
crisis of faith, something like that. I'll be late for that, right,
I'm sorry to hear that that. It's fine, Sorry for what nothing?
Never mind, I'll go and investigate you distract okay, okay, do
we have a code word in case things go south? Uh? Ferbie Furby?
Yes, that's is that? Okay? I remember, I remember what
they were. Those are terrifying, they are, and thus that is the
perfect code word. I'll rebstract him and I scamper off to go try to
find this USB stick. I will strike u up a conversation with the priest
just to keep him occupied. Yeah, Cala, yes, you are uh
looking for a USB? Oh? Sorry, I thought you were gonna finish
that with like you're lovely or something nice to say. Of course you're lovely,
thank you, And who would suspect you of stealing from a priest.
Well, he might, since I did technically take those cookies earlier, but
it's not stealing because he offered. He did offer. I don't think he's
offering the USB or anything like that. But you are on the way to
what you can only assume is his office of some sort like a rectoria.
Hmmm. Uh, we're all me WITS investigation. Any bonuses from Mollie maybe
right now is elsewhere. I will try ever so hard to lawyer you.
You said wits right, WITS plus investigation, Yeah, to successes. Would
you like to reroll? Yes, please spend a willpair pointroll three dice.
There is a desperation dice as well. Forgot to say really sorry, you
said three three d ten. Okay, that's better. Four. So you
take a look through. You look at his computer, which is a bit
outdated, it's still running XP and you don't see any anything that resembles a
thumb drive. But you do see a a receipt that looks like it is
basically a correspondence between the priest and someone who it's just initial themselves as h
H and it seems to describe they the possible transfer of digital information on a
thumb drive people are looking for it, people are looking to find a way
to spread it whatever that means. Right, But question, I'm trying to
remember what I know about this stick USB stick, you know. So it's
an interesting one because you have seen the TikTok account of sunglasses after dark and
after duck, and there's a prevailing fan theory that all of the occult and
you know, like the conspiracy theory, all acting like where I'm a vampire
kind of stuff is a huge arg to point to a place and a time
where you can find the truth of the story that she is telling. But
that account has now gone dark. Okay, So was I able to find
anything about this time or date? And is there anything on this receipt that
less time or date? Yes, you can. Well, you can't find
time or date. You can find a location, perfect, and that is
the cathedral here in the center in center of Manchester a cathedral. So not
this church, but the church the church, right, Okay, wonderful?
Okay, Well, is there any other information about this AH person or HH
person? Where did they go to? Where's the receipt for? What's the
diner? Uh? The receipt is Uh, it's more of like a handwritten
receipt like this is what I want, more of a letter than a receipt.
Okay, all right, Well, then I take pictures of both sides,
and I continue looking around to see if I see anything else. Yeah,
I think that's it, unless there's any any cool like weapons or anything
that I could maybe uh r, candlestick is probably the most dangerous weapon in
here. But at this point you are interrupted by yelp. Who's yelping sounds
distant from back where you came, person or a dog or persons. Okay,
does it sound like Ollie? It doesn't sound like Ollie's. And they're
not saying Kirby. They're not saying Kirby yet. Then I pause and I
wait. My heart's racing, and I wait to listen and see what I
hear before I immediately bought back. Let's find out what you hear. Olly,
you're going to strike up a conversation and cause a distraction. When you
go back into the main area, you realize that the main lights are now
off and the only illumination of racks of tiny tea lights. Essentially, well,
you hear a coming from inside the church. From inside the church seems
further I'll move further in towards the sound. He ran the corner looking to
where the source of the sound came from, and there appears to be the
priest slammed up against one of the pillars, and a person in a hood
and a cloak has them in a death grip and can't see their head because
it is buried into his shoulder. I kot for me, and then I
will come running down absolutely the second I hear that, Hey, what are
you doing? What's going on? I? Whoa, okay, calm down?
What's happening? Father? Are you all right? He kind of weakly
looks over to you and does a slow blink and a nod, and then
slides down the pillar as in he just died, as in he's dead,
or that he's passed out. Can I tell he does not look like he
is moving at all? If you would like to try and tell that is
wits medicine. No, I'll step forward. I'll step forward slowly. What
is this hooded figure doing? They're just kind of standing there watching over the
body. Well, hello, cat, got your tongue, ollie? Get
the others turns to look at you, and you see blood billowing down the
chin staining a very ratty shirt. Do I see fangs? You see the
bloodied glint of fangs? Oh, I mean so much trouble. Okay,
Ollie left to go get help. Right, Ollie did go to get help,
and you're all alone only rolled away. You are now alone with this
figure in the half light, and I don't have Harber So I'm actually a
little bit nervous. No, right now, what did you do to him?
I'm just going to play dumb. What did you do to him?
Is he okay? He's saved? Yep, you're bleeding. No, No,
I'm not. I'm so screwed. Get out of my way. You
need to roll. You're going to have to roll an intelligence resolve. However,
I believe you get some sort of bonus on this because you rule resistance.
I don't know what that is though, look it up. Oh,
so long as you hold your object of focus, the hunter is immune supernatural
abilities. It would other require otherwise require a resistance test, My dear hunt
master, Is that not haber? Mmm? If you would like it to
be, or you can have something small on one hand that's entirely up to
you, like a necklace could be a necklace Could it be the necklace that
Allie gave me? Could Okay, this is a This is a separate paths,
so it's up to you. You can have habit or you can have
the necklace. I think it's more realistic for me to have something small that
I would be able to take with me multiple places. Haba isn't exactly discreet,
Okay. In that case, I think you stand there and you hear
these words wash over you, and the urge to obey is planted. You
do not feel the need to follow. Sorry, just give me one second
while they think about how this would feel. That's fine. I step aside.
I don't want this thing to know that I'm not enthralled. Okay.
It steps each foot planted with meaning, an assurance towards you, as it
clearly intends to walk past you and exit out the back. But as it
steps within a foot of you, this slows down, ends over, and
you see the glint of icye blue eyes contacting yours. Do I stab him?
Do I stab him? Do I stab him? I don't. I
think he watches this journey in your eyes just says this is for the best,
but that I don't stab you. We both leave here unharmed. Okay,
could I ask you a question really fast? Because i've I mean,
this is a once in a lifetime opportunity thing that happens. Because I think
we both know that you're not normal. He just stops, as if he's
expecting you to ask anyway, the spot on his hand? What was it
evil? What's he going to? Okay, what's going to happen to him?
What's he going to? I don't know what happens to them? Well,
how do you know it's evil? Because it comes from a place of
evil? And where does it come come from? It comes from the dark
heart like magic, that's where you want to call it older than magic.
But I suppose the question now is do you know too much? Magic isn't
real? And it's best if you believe that. Goodbye, And as he
says it, a fleck of butt blood flicks from his lips and lands on
your cheek, and he turns about and walks away. I immediately hit the
floor. That was incredibly stressful. Everyone else where is everyone? Everyone comes
in and you see this figure turn about and walk away. Color yeah,
Color, Yeah, I'm coming. I'm fine, Are fine, I'm fine.
It was just a very close encounter. It was very scary. They're
very scary up close, and I didn't have Papa, and it was a
little terrifying. The check check the priest, alie, I have blood on
me. Fuck that, I've got the garon in my hand, and I
don't do it. Don't do it, running off, don't do it.
He gave me something, he gave me some information, and I also think
I don't know I he said that the mark was really bad and that he
was going to turn into something really bad and then it comes from like some
dark magic or something like that, and that he was trying to stop him
from turning into this evil monster. So essentially he's like some vampire, your
monster hunter. I guess that means he's like temporarily on helping us. Maybe
what the fuck are you talking about? What about that wasn't clear. He
just killed a blow, yes, And he said that the spot on his
hand was from some dark place and that it was gonna turn him. Okay,
if I tell you, don't mind fucking Pisces and elixa while you drink
it, we must get out for me. We might know in this room.
I can't believe anything. I don't know. I reckon when you go
and fucking get him? We got told up for a raisin Hei Cola.
Yes, sorry, I didn't have anything, just me. I didn't have
habit, so I I just looked like, just talk to him, and
I let him go because I didn't know what else to do. I mean,
there was a moment where I could have maybe tried to stake him,
but I was alone and I was scared, and I didn't know what to
do. You you did a wonderful job. You're certain that we should not
go after him. I would like to make a role, please huntmaster to
decide what I'm asking Harper, Oh you're asking Harber. Oh that's a well
power role. Just willpower anything else, just willpower. Oh wonderful. And
make sure you remove dice that you have marked off on that willpair track right
U Oh yeah, that's not a lot of dice for you. Did that
go through or no? There was that last three? The role? Oh
there it is, m dud is no good. This connection that you have.
You feel the rage reflect back at you for letting him go. For
letting him go, you are not good enough. You are a hunter.
It is the hunt. There are only two options. I immediately run die
after him. I immediately run after him. Way, I don't run.
Okay, I am scared, and I might check out the body, but
my friends are in. I'm gonna follow the fun I'm going to follow.
Okay, all four of you, h I need you to make ship.
Um, who's got the highest wits awareness might be me? I have a
total of four, Probably not me, THEO. Okay, you're You're probably
close to the front anyway, So THEA role wits awareness. Oh that is
four. You see the bloody cloak that this person is wearing. Flick around
a corner out of the out into the graveyard, and yeah, you are
all able to follow THEO and you are on his heels at this point.
I've got a lot of cocaine in my system. If it helps, we
are so Yeah, at this point it probably does help. But there's a
limit, especially like right in this second. It helps. Yeah, if
I can round the corner and name the fucking garrand at him, buy it
up against the shoulder and give it a pop. I ain't practice with it
yet, but I'll take a shot his fucking back or his legs. Yeah,
that is a composure fire arms role mm hmmm, two. I think
with two you actually hit him and you can see it clips his his arm
and as he starts to move it slightly differently. It does not slow him
down. Oh plenty more where that come from? Right? I try and
aim him again, but yeah, I don't want to be you're aiming?
What is everyone else doing? Can I be maybe trying to stop my brother
from shooting firearms in a small quiet hamlet in the middle, So too late,
and I've got a lot of cocaineism And i ran out of the door
first, and you're in a wheelchair. Unfortunately I parcored over like a fucking
Then I probably can't catch overfews. And then I, already, by the
way, have fired the weapon and it was so loud everyone's ears start to
ring. But you catch up to him once he's fired this first thing.
Rough. I got him, Yeah, I got him. Stop and guns?
Well, what do you want me to do? Fucking give him a
kiss? Don't shoot gun? Police, and I'll just we'll say it was
fireworks. I'll look at him fireworks. Here we go, he's getting away.
I'm like moving forward as well, like as far as I can.
But I'm still also kind of trying to aim this fucking this is a fucking
bolt action, I think, and then one isn't it. So I'm just
fucking like Chang Chain Chain doing all that ship, trying to get this thing
set up with another cartridge. Okay, uh, Heller, what are you
doing? You're still chasing? Do I have any weapons on my person?
Uh? Your main weapon is probably in the van? Correct, yes,
did, But when I went back to the van, I did say to
gear up and told them about the priest. I actually taped that in the
in the discord. Oh okay, yes, that's right, they would have
borne. So can I say that Diana throws me my weapon? Yes,
personctly I do that. Then I will chase this fucker down with Harber and
I will try to attack him if I can catch up, which you're probably
going to get. Oh yeah, THEO has oh yeah, clanked him.
So you do have an opportunity in this moment, I take it. Okay,
that is a dexterity Mela attack. Please, would you like to use
your sword's full capacity? I will take a test. I see that here,
this little composure occult thing. Is that what I'm doing? If you
would like to roll Composure Occult you can get plus three to this role.
Yes. If you fail, you will lose a point of willpower. Yes,
absolutely, I think I've already. I just think it's what Calo would
do. I've disappointed myself and everyone by letting this vampire go and Desperately.
If you feel like you can't hit difficulty for you can still use Desperation,
which at this point now a man is dead is at two plus two dice
to get this role. Okay, if you would like so, you want
me to roll the Composure Occult's sword or do I do the melee? Yes,
Composure Occults first, do that. Then if you would like to an
extra two d ten on top of this role or the other role for the
Desperation for the activation role, because I feel like that's the one you're you're
going to need the post. Yes, okay, then yes, I will
do that. I trust to you, hunt Master, just help me try
to kill this thing. Absolutely, so, I'm rolling this Composure plus occult.
Yep, I'm hit. I'm hitting the little button plus two, and
then I will take the first five successes. Yes to activate Harbor. Yes,
so you grip the hilt of this sword, and a pure joy of
imminent pain overwhelms you, and you feel that energy flow through you and help
your reactions. It helps your movements flow and guide you as if the sword
is doing the talking to contact. So unfortunately, simultaneous to your uh activation
of this past so you get plus three on the roll, danger also goes
up to two because you got a one on your desperation dice. Okay,
so now I'm doing dex and melee zach x melee plus three. That is
eight we shit with eight successes. You pulled off a very dangerous move.
Prescribe to me what it looks like you using the sword, because I don't
think we've had a full description of it. No, we haven't. We
haven't seen. I mean, the sword is as big as I am.
Okay, So what what do I manage to successfully hit this creature? You
hit him? Okay? Do I hurt him a lot? You hurt him
a lot? Wonderful? Thank you? Uh? He is not dead,
okay, I didn't expect him to be dead. Okay, so I think
we see well, you see, I am running full speed and all I
can see is this vampire and my failure and the fact that I let my
fear get the better of me, and I am angry, and I am
more angry at myself than I am this vampire. I think. I start
to snarl a little bit, and I see myself in this vampire. And
then I no longer see the vampire anymore, and I swing the clay more
down above my full on leap up into the air, and I use the
weight of the clay moar somehow to propel me up into the air. And
then I bring the claymore down on top of the vampire, right in the
shoulder, by the neck. The sword. Blood goes everywhere, and I
don't care. There is outs of blood up on the sword, on the
gravel, and now you are covered in it. As the sword bites into
his shoulder and tears down across his torso, and all you can feel is
that vibrating energy resonating from the sword, and you feel so good. We've
dug and ol whoa and OK, this vampire is still standing there. You
see the red line as you draw down the claymoor onto the ground, ready
for another strike, and you see all you have done is open his chest
cavity so you can see the bone and the decay of his organs, and
his shirt and his cloak fall away, and it's scrawled his like. He
is definitely not saying anything, but he is deep in eye contact with you
as you watch the clothes that he was wearing tear off his top half everywhere
marks almost identical to the one you saw on the priest pock marked on his
body. Looks like there's a little more to your story. It is not
my story. Sorry, I am only doing what the divine wills. You
won't stop me. That makes two of us in acting divine will. You
might have that back to front. I see how you are damned blessed.
You see his wounds begin to knit back together. I would like to try
to attack him again, please do huge mistake, but I have to.
I think she would. I'm so sorry. No, that's fine. Watch
me die in episode two, guys, Okay, is Haba still activated?
That is what I'm looking to find out for you. Okay, I think
it should be, though, perhaps we should help her. I'm like trying
to aim the gun, but she's in the way. I'm going to try
and get there either thrust at steak at Diana or like point at yours or
something while I'm trying to aim the gun, but I'm moving forward slower now
mm hmm. I pull out my browning pistol and I'm holding a steak in
the other hand as I slowly inch forward. I'm sorry you're using a browning,
Miss Anita Blake. I love the reference. That's it. That's all
I had to say. Am I adding the three? Hunt Master? You
are adding on the three. I don't see anything about it, but let's
give it to you. That's two successes. Are you willing to spend more
willpower? I am? Unfortunately. I think Calla will do anything at this
point to avoid disappointing Harbor any further. That's three D ten Oh shit,
two successes. You go in for a follow up strike. The smoothness of
your movements are mesmerizing as you feel that energy renew you bring across the clay
more quicker than anyone can expect, and you feel it loose from your grip
as he grabs the blade by the end and rips it and it flies off,
and he just says you missed your chance to stay alive. And once
he finishes, his sentence is at you and you feel a searing pain,
crush the center your core of your chest. I'm running wat is he sorry?
Just so I understand? Is he using his hand or is he using
a supernaturalist? Does my bullshit help against this? Or no? In this
instance? Oh that's just save my leg. He may have just saved yourself
thwart uh callor not that? Sorry? Hmm? Okay, I mean personally,
I think it's super cool if I go down, so I will happily
do that. Thought he was gonna punch. I definitely thought he was going
to punch through my chest and kill me. I definitely thought I was rolling
up a new character. So interestingly, if he was using supernatural ability to
enhance himself, so I think in this you mitigate the lethality. Okay,
that sounds great, So I'll still hit the ground. Wonderful. Both feel
that. In fact, you probably feel your necklace start to I don't know,
like throb or sing or crack against the sheer solidness of his fist and
your your your ribs are all broken and you cannot breathe, Diana, I'm
running forward, uh and I I just as I run, I try to
plunge the steak threw his back to try and hit his heart and then also
simultaneously shoot him in the head if possible. Want. Yeah, that sounds
like a strength meloe to me. Okay, you need a margin of five
successes. I have a question. Can I can I lawyer you a little
bit? Can I roll twice, once for the gun the shot in the
head, and the other for the steak if you would like to the two.
There will not add total successes together, but they will hurt him more.
So let's start with the strength melee and see if you stake him.
This is increct Oh god, that's zero successes. Yes, I think you
catch him a little bit unawares because he is focused on the surprising result of
his what he expected to be a lethal blow. And you scratch at his
back with the point of this thing, and you realize that as you drive
it deeper, it's not actually penetrating his skin, it is splintering against it.
Oh god, okay. And he just wheels around and slaps you back
onto the floor, and you take three superficial damage. I throw a bottle
of hollywater at him. I am unfortunately not going to make you roll for
that. There is a splash and a smash of this liquid vial, and
you notice, where do you aim for the head or I'm not like super
Combati, so I'm basically aiming for the mass, the largest part of him.
You notice that it doesn't really do anything to him, but I think
the same effect is more clear. The marks just covering his body begin to
glow red under this under this water at and you see much more clearly the
circle on the outside, a dot in the center, and a small cross
underneath it. At this point, he is going to start blinking away.
Try and you've never seen a person move so fast. A final part shot.
Go for it. I'll take some form of disadvantage if you want.
Uh No, I think it will be more difficult than too though, because
now he is moving fast. I think I like, go to fire and
he just just starts blinking, and it freaks me out. I just fire,
And it's just just weird to see somebody move so quickly, Like to
see something like that in real life, like like a stutter of reality.
You know, it would just look weird, like your internet connections blinking instead
of like it would just seem really odd. And I think it just kind
of does a weird visual feedback loop to my brain and I just fucked the
shot up completely, just firing into the side of the church. Yeah.
You watch the bullet glance off the corner of a tombstone, and just as
before he blinks away all Olie hears him say is it's a bit late for
that? And then he has gone fucking hell. Rah, check on Diana.
I jump over the name and run towards Diana. You collect up your
friends, and I think that is a good time to take a quick break.
One night later, Kellor, you are in pain but safe in a
hospital bed. Diana is mostly recovered from what appeared to be a concussion and
blunt force trauma at your bedside, but your ribs are all broken and breathing
is hard. Is there a long awkward silence? Or maybe not awkward,
but somber who speaks first? I'm not sure? Can you speak? Is
the question? Yes? Possible? What in that case is going through Diana's
mind? You're supposed to be the veteran vampire hunter here. Yes, someone
got hurt under your watch. Yes, how do you feel about that?
I really quite like Carla. I suppose it doesn't feel very good, does
it? I failed in keeping her say hmm. Now, I don't know
what sort of a reparal irreparable damage she has, both physically and mentally.
And I could never promise. I could never promise that this would be a
safe affair. But I suppose it's different when it's actually happening. You saw
her at there, that was something spectacular. It was. It makes me
scared because if she couldn't she was formidable, and that still was not enough.
And I put her there. M h But I want to know what
she's thinking. Yeah, where does the courage to say something to her come
from? Shame? How are you? I'm sorry? Oh no, I'm
sorry. You are put in danger. You are unprepared. It was my
idea that we go in stealthy, unprepared, and you fought formidably. I
thought I could handle it. I was wrong. I think you handled it
as well as anyone could. And what does that mean for us? Then
that's as good as we get. Then we're fucked, many of us,
if we continue in this strait will die. I can face that fact for
myself. Oh are they okay? Yes, they're fine, You're all right.
I find it difficult to face that fact for you. Quite fond of
you. So I mean you're kicking you out. No, not unless you
want me to. You're an adult woman. You can make decisions for yourself,
and I'm quite fond of you. But you need to heal. That's
most important. You are more important. H h that's not true. So
summit is not to us. I know where you came from. Job comes
first, and everyone else then us. I don't know how I'm gonna look
at them, Holly the o Jack. She'll be so disappointed, she wrote,
should be impressed that you survived, that you did damage. And when
she hears about how you nearly cleaved him in half, you know not many
would survive that encounter. You will have what they call street cred. I
think I can post about it absolutely. You take my picture, Yes,
you take the photo, and do you let her sign in to the forum.
Yes, of course. Yeah, she can do whatever she wants and
you've post the photo there. Yeah, I say something cheeky like So it
turns out vampires are a lot more dangerous. I don't know, something stupid,
I don't think properly right now. Immediately you get a stream of messages
just pouring out. Oh my god, what happened? Did you kill it?
Are you okay? Just from everyone? Everyone wants to know what you
have achieved. And I think I am so filled with shame that I give
her back the phone and I cannot look at her. There's a tiny feeling
at the core of that shame that you know comes from your sword, and
all it says to you is one you really need small power if you want
to do this properly, kay, he said? The uh post marks for
his body? What were those? He used? One he liked, amplified
something? Sorry, do you know what that was? No? I don't,
but it's something to go on. When can I go home? I
presume as soon as the doctors clear you. If you you, of course
are always welcome in the hotel and your room is safe and secure. However,
I would completely understand if you wanted to go home home. I'm man,
but that can be arranged. Oh yes, h as soon as the
doctors say it's okay. What did you tell them the doctors that you got
hit by a car? Right? Okay? Are you? M hm hm?
Is there anything I can do for you? Anything, I can get
you anything. I hit your hand and I look you dead in the out.
I won't let you down again, I promise. Oh, darling,
you didn't let me down. You didn't. I'm very tired now, yes,
of course. Mm. You both go back to bed to rest.
In the middle of the night, Color you wake back up and you feel
an urge to look back through the forum, and you see the outpouring of
love and the concern and the questions. You notice something everyone has posted except
except oh Crowley was a sub? Ally was a sub? Is there?
There are, in fact no messages from your friend's sunny seaside. You just
gave me full body chills. You just gave me full body chills. Are
you telling me no, no, no, no, no no no no
no no no no no no no no no, no, no no no.
I refuse to believe that my friend is a vampire. I fucking refuse.
I can't. I immediately put the phone down, and I think I
start to have an anxiety attack because I think Cala thinks the same thing.
For some stupid reason. It doesn't even make any sense. It's not like
I have any evidence, but just in that moment, I think he knew
who I. It just suddenly makes sense why he didn't want to kill me,
and I think I'm freaking out and I probably hit a morphine button or
whatever the fuck they've given me, and I'll send a message. I'll send
a message actually before I am taken away into oblivion. Cat cut your tongue,
and then where we will move back to the office on the same night,
Ollie, probably rather tense. They're looking through a variety of tones,
Internet posts and your bills are alleviating some of that stress and the pain that
you feel is what is it that you're doing and feeling. What I'm doing
is what I'm technically doing is I'm trying to find any ruins images that look
like that that I saw on his end and all over that leech's body.
But what I'm really doing is trying to trying to shift the guilt that I
have. Hmm. I'm trying to remom myself that it wasn't me that did
that, It was a monster. I suppose in that case, you can
use your library or just perhaps do an intelligence academics or a cult, depending
on what kind of information you'd like to find out. I think it would
be a cult because of the symbol. But okay, so you're cool.
That's probably what I'm looking in the books for. That's that's fine. A
cult it is. How intelligence? Do I get a plus one for library?
Yes you do. There are many many books here that has stopped this
place inconveniently enough for most people trying to walk around, but conveniently for those
who want to research things. Five with five, I think you do stumble
upon something and is the beginning of a fairly certain hunch that you've been working
off of, and that is that this symbol is magic. So you are
looking in the right places. Perhaps magic is the wrong word. Every source
that you find points towards this circle with a dot and the three lines underneath.
It is representative. Is not necessarily a letter. It is not a
symbol. It is more a drawing of an evil eye. How does that
make you feel? Makes me feel a bit watched when you start looking at
iconography that quite clearly is something to do with an eye. Every time you
see that symbol, all you can think of is you're being watched by the
symbol. Don't know, hmm. Eyes are imagery. That hurts me.
I actually feel a bit of a cold chill run up the back of your
spine involuntarily, and that feeling once you look up from the page of being
watched does not go away. There's nothing. It's been a busy day.
Composure plus results. Please. When you're done popping the pills. Two,
there's a moment where the hairs stand up on the back of your arms.
You hear something drop behind you in the separate room. Hm. Wow for
how no one's there? M m hmm Are you right? M m h
It might have been real. I'm gonna look. I'm gonna look. You
go into the main room and you see the mountains of plushes, the sofa
and various it's a rubbish that Jack has left around, metal and circuit board,
and on the floor are theo's khakish the ow. Didn't hear him come
in? Oh? Usually shirts when he gets in. Bro, you fucking
around. I'm gonna go into where the TV is because if his he's probably
sat on the couch playing FIFA or something. You go into where the TV
is and you hear something ah, and you're like, oh, there he
is. He must be playing alright, brave, what do you do?
No one in here? The TV is on, it's not on a station.
Turn it off? The fuck ah Ah, I'm gonna go get my
EVP. Hm hmm. You go and you find your equipment, and this
one in particular, how are you going to use it? The EVP?
So, I'm gonna set it, stand it up, and I'm going to
hit record and I record to see if it picks anything up, and try
to be quiet, and then I will I'll just turn on the rampod and
I'll put it right next to it, and I'll just wait so the EVP
will record audio, but I might not be able to hear, and the
rampod will be Temperatures change and movement within seven feet. Okay, make another
composure resolve for all so again. This time you have a a lapse,
as if you are concentrating on something and everything else disappears, and you are
convinced that someone very gently strokes their hand cross the back top of your shoulder
blades. You begin to lose your sense of gravity. Is this a familiar
feeling You've only felt it once before. It wasn't my fault, that was
a monster. The feeling of not knowing which way is up intensifice. You
feel drunk and everything fades to shadow. Please make another composure result two.
It sounds like there are people yelling at you. Some of them are concerned,
some of them are angry, some of them want to hurt you,
And all of this while you are tumbling head over tail overhead over tail,
and you can feel sharp pins and needles, as if shattered glass is showering
you, and all you see hanging upside down in front of you is a
bloodied corpse staring in your eyes, blood dripping upwards. It's gonna be okay.
Just look at me, I know. Oh God, oh god,
is she okay? Just could be okay? Ol Way, Oliver, Oliver,
wake up? What the fuck is wrong with you? You get into
the fucking cat. Can't be taking that ship with your fucking back maids.
What the fuck? You're right? Yeah? He left the fucking TV on
Hi, you left the fucking I've been on the fucking TV. Mm hmmm
mmm yeah, yeah you're right. Yeah, I'm all right. What are
you fucking doing screaming? Bah? Was h nothing? Nothing? What did
you take do it? Don't take nothing? Yeah, just been I've been
studying towards just it's fucking simple. Yeah, maybe you should have a fucking
kip. She'll be at the fucking hospital Are you sure they're okay? Yeah,
it's a bit like that, and you have to go in the morning,
Yeah, all right, send them a text am me. You know,
I fucking went out, had to look around and that a little check.
Who knows whether that fucking things coming back? Something fucking ain't bright about
that? Yeah, no, you fucking kidding me. What the fuck are
you talking about? Did you see its fucking chest was open. It was
just having a good old fucking chin wag. Yeah, you see him symbols
all over him. Fucking Holy war didn't do nothing, m h. I
mean Calor fucked it up though as well. Where the was that? You
very nearly fucking killed her there. I think it nearly fucking killed all of
us, to be honest, maybe she fucking saved us. You know,
I thought she was just a little fucking uh, you know, stupid little
bird with the sword like that. Yeah, she's fucking king Artorius. She
is wielding Excalibur, just fucking ran in. Well, yeah, but she
says she knows what she's fucking doing. Didn't look like it much it,
Well, she's all right, Ever a fucking dry slab am bullets do anything
to it, didn't sew it down. Did it? No miss the second
one get him with the first only grossed his arm. I think didn't seem
to do fuck all. Did consider throwing the fucking knife, and I'm thinking
to do well, bullets don't do ship a fucking clay more, don't do
ship back. If we get a proper claim more still do it though.
Yeah, maybe I'll see if Baska get like a claym more like like a
bomb, we canna put it in front of the door in case the fucking
thing comes in to find something that you're fucking gang and shoot. That's going
to work them like bullets of holy water that're fucking stupid. I got on
the blower with bad Tomorrow. See what he's got. He's got all sorts
of weird ship. He was trying to palm off onto me. But I
thought he was just trying to make a few quid. You know, it's
just simple that like Dagon flying like the fucking Greeks. I don't fucking know,
do I. I thought he was just making up ship. I thought
he was trying to sell me weed. At first, that was like a
butterfly. A fly? What can't butterfly? You see all right, Well,
it looks a bit like looks a bit like cannon. Maybe I think
it's an eye. Look hi for what now? Maybe a representation of an
eye or a meaning. Look in here it says it doesn't have the lines
on this one, but this one doesn't have the dot in it. But
if you look at Davis's tone, it's got all those bits where it's separate,
and they all represent watching watchers eyes something on fucking hell, maybe I
actually got some bars on that window? What are I will weld some bars
across it. You're writing that finger breakthrough bars like I am proper rebar shit.
Yeah, did you see what it did to Calor? Like a truck?
Fucking it? All right? Look, listen, you get a little
bit of sleep in you. Have you eaten anything? I haven't been busy.
I go down the garage, get some ginsters. Yeah, cornish,
cornish? All right? A red ball? No, no, no,
you ain't having no fucking red ball. You're off your fucking tits. I
don't know what the fuck you've been taking on them pills, but they're fine.
It's yeah, I got these like last fucking week. I'll get your
red bull, but i'll give it to you tomorrow morning. Well, get
me a monstern. You ain't even ship tonight. You've got going to sleep.
I'll figure out what his eyes about. How can you sleep with them
in the hospital. I ain't going to sleep. You're going to fucking sleep.
I'm gonna stare at that fucking door with a gun loaded, and then
when you get up, I'm attaching the fucking MP forty to the side of
your fucking chair and I'm pointing you at the door, and alway you read
your fucking books. I don't trust her fucking thing. See how fucking fast
it was. Yeah, he said something before he ran away. What you
say a bit late for that? What's that? But for what I think
the holy water? I threw a bottle of water at it, all right,
smashed all over him. Every report of holy water does damage to leeches.
Nothing would you recommend? Is too fucking what? Too strong? Different
different then marks, then marks, Still they glue it, items like they
were glowing with the holy water. So maybe he ain't a leach. Maybe
maybe that's symbols protective. Maybe maybe the symbols evil, but he's not.
Yeah, I don't think that's the case. I think it's sucking evil.
Bigger guns up in the moves like that. Bigger guns? All right,
yeah, fucking what do you want me to get a fucking rpgyheah, maybe
I might see if I'm getting off. You can't get in it, and
you can't get in it that way. I get a grenade, all right,
all right, I get a grenade, A grenade, fucking grenade trap.
Yeah, get a bit of fucking fishing wire. Run it across the
top of the fucking door frame, you know what I mean, and then
we'll fucking lure it in. It'll open the fucking door, don't matter how
fucking fastest got an angle to explode? Slow is it? It's gonna fucking
blow them up. Yeah, But what happens when they fucking attack us?
Well, I ain't gonna attack us because you can walk through the fucking door
and then it's going to fucking explode. We have fucking attack this today,
right, Well, I'll get a claim more then, right, we'll bury
it under the fucking pavement outside, you know, and it will come walking
in, blow its legs off. What's it going to do? Run away
in its hands? And what about when we want to go out well we
know it's there. We don't fucking step on it. You're not putting a
claim more outside, mate, We've gotta do fucking something. Bullets don't fucking
work. Sword barely did fuck all? It can move too quick. What
if we get crossbow cross I would like a fucking steak and we're thinking too
modern, right, yeah, I'll tell you what. Crossbow crossbow. Yeah,
doduring, they're still fucking yeah, fucking yeah, they do renaissance fairs
all the time, right, like a big fucking one hundred and fifty pound
crossbow. All right, sorted? Or wooden bullets? Can you get wooden
bullets? Just fucking fire a fucking arrow, it's made of wood in it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're right. I think I'm tired.
I think I'm tired, bro. Yeah, you uh right. Don't fucking
go to sleep and don't do nothing weird. I'll be fucking ten minutes out.
Zip back, put some fucking food in your belly. Then you're gonna
have a kip and tomorrow will fucking figure it out. I'll fucking put in
a world with badger about a fucking crossbow. Yeah, all right, keeping
on the fucking door and all don't falling asleep. Who knows what the funk's
gonna come through that fucking door that I have to be invited in. No,
that's well, I don't know. Maybe may we've seen fucking one,
two maybe two, definitely seen one of them, all right, putting a
text to uh Diana and putting a text to Jack and I just check out
all right, you know what I mean? The odd text Jack earlier make
sure she was all right, told her yeah, yeah, all right,
yeah, all right, I'm gonna fucking it out then. Yeah, oh
brother, you're on the fucking door though, Yeah, I'll keep it on
the fucking door, Holly. Jack Be gets back to you and says,
Granddad has stabilized. I'll be back as soon as I can. I can't
do much for him right now. I think he'll be okay. And you
remember your recording? Oh yeah, EVP, EVP, it's still running.
Do it picked anything up? You play it back and there is static and
sound of you shuffling in your chair, moving around. You gasp, just
faintly under the static, in broken stitched together words, you hear her voice
find a weise And that is an excellent place to end for today. Holy
fuck, Oh my god, Jesus Christ, thank you for all being quite
so down to get the shit kicked out of you do fun and silly things.
You all did incredibly. Yeah you took that much. I took emotional
damage. Yeah, that you've created emotional damage as well. Me. Yeah,
bro, your roles were dog ship. No, they were perfect.
Jesus fuck. I need to emotionally eat cookies. That was so good.
I'm sure THEO has a cookie that will help you. I'll him in the
fucking oven, so that mind if I he's brownies? Do you bro right?
You're good? You'll want to take a beat? No, I'm good.
Who wants who wants to with the thing that we always always do another
forget me? Me, me, me, me, me me. The
first time Calum met the leech maybe leach hooded hood, he's called hood in
notes uh where essentially it's with a blood her cheek. It was the whole
sort of scene. But when the blood hit her cheek, that was just
the a fuck me out. That fucked me a big time, And I
was like, oh, she's let me get away. Goods like live color
and run, I love the GM, like unaccountability, like I just said
you should go and chase after it and make you do anything. Yeah,
well we found out from it. Yeah. Also, THEO they're saying you
know what he said as well just kind of drove it home that I think
I would even though I know that they're super dangerous. You know, she's
got that that thing. I definitely thought I was going to die. I
thought you were going to she locking sword sort of, it doesn't really say
words, she doesn't reply in words, sort of, Okay, that's fine,
what's the next I'll oh No. I would like to applaud the peach
scene where he was, yeah, tumbling, like the crescendo from like it
was really it was a lot to do with you as well, Josh.
But I just enjoyed the scene as a whole, where it crescendoed from like
oh there's a fucking noise from the other room, all the tumbled all the
way down into just one of his absolute most traumatic memories. It just just
was such a great blend and gradient into that that I really enjoyed it as
a whole. I'll go next time. I agree that the peach peache and
I said that I had to stop and type in the discord because this was
so well done. But the it's that wasn't your fault. It was a
monster The way you said that about Cala and then again about whoever this was
waw Bro. It was so good, dude. I have to piggyback off
that too, because in that same scene when you were like in the traumatic
scene them, I literally like felt something crumple within my being when you were
like it's it's gonna be okay. When you were talking to hers, keep
looking, oh my god, just keeping I was like, what the actual
fuck I didn't have that was open. I was doing that because the best
but anyway, take the points. But but but also Merg's your opening scene
was absolutely incredible as well. You had so many expressions on your face and
the angry tea setting down was so good. It was just yeah, I
love this. In the discord, like Diana is in her mouth, yeah,
like like oh it also, oh my god, thank you. Also,
Peeves, that scene with you in the hospital was like, oh my
god, I don't know, man, it just felt so uh heartbreaking and
beautiful and then like yeah, I don't know, the everyone stripped down a
little bit. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, everyone had a moment
of stripped down. Oh boy, it was no. And then that assessment
from THEO at the very end, which was like really cool because so far
all we've seen of THEO was like, hey man, yeah, like I
don't know, like minds man. And then like that very end where you
you were just so loving of your brother and just like keeping an eye on
him, but then also very analytically putting the pieces together, being like my
boss, who's apparently this very impressive person, got fucking bitch slapped across the
room. Yeah. Yeah, it was really weird. Plain like, there's
a few things with this character that I like have to nerf in my own
brain kind of and then just approach the world differently in a way. You
know. I won't say too much about anything, but it's just it's it's
weird coming in and being like, all right, well just come at everything
from that way, because that's kind of how his brain works, and you
know, he's weird up bringing and ship so it's interesting to think about.
Also, we definitely had one hundred. You had to sit outside with him
in then, and he was showing you his subwer for like that whole time.
They were a million percent at Church. There was an off screen scene
where THEO was just chatting ship about a sub in the back of a Vauxhall
combo for so long and showing you his ministry of sound CDs. Conversation I
can't tell would be I can't tell it. Diana would be like, hm,
yes, interesting. She would be like, oh wow, I actually
really like this guy. I don't know. I don't know. Did you
see the size of his sub waterer? Who care? I think as well?
Man Diana now have had two off screen scenes where they're just dream why.
It's funny. Actually we had that last week yea, because in the
discord sometimes we're talking about like what our characters will be doing while another scene
is happening, just to help inform and give everyone an idea of where everyone
is, you know, so that you can quickly jump in and whatever.
And last week we had an off screen scene where after the roof, me
and Diana just got sucked up. It's like six am. I think,
with the exception of uh Cala, everyone on this crew is completely pickled and
I love it. Yeah, just so much to unpack here. It's delicious.
Uh h mm hmm, oh yeah. Carlos seems absolutely fine and well
pickled in another way kind of pickle. Well, excellent work, well done
everyone, all right, all right, well that was lage episode to the
credits thing. Right after credits thing, we'll do a quick shout out.
You want to just jump around, say who's where and doing what? Will
start with peachy? I do ghost things on Thursday, so yeah, what
has to other words? I'll feel guilty myrtles, Twitch dot tv, slash
mergles, what are you doing? Will you still have the No? I
won't have this. I'm gonna wash this off. I am uh sometimes animating,
sometimes watching lore videos or history videos, just chatting stuff. Yeah,
thank you. Maybe are you streaming? M hmm, what are you streaming?
Who knows? Keyboards? So random? I'm recovering from pneumonia, so
it's whatever I'm feeling like at the time. I'm also recovering from pneumonia on
my channel. I gave it to him. Marauders and assassins supposed to invite
me. I'm sorry next time. Oh right, okay, pneumonia party,
bring me to the pox party please, and then, Josh, what are
you doing where? I and also plug all of your VTM stuff because you
are the resident VTM guy to go to. Seriously, the reason that you
are summoned every October, come and frighten us. Yeah, So other people
that want to see more VTM stuff, Josh is your man, find him,
that's for sure. Get me FTL on Twitter where I talk about them,
or Strange Adventures on YouTube where I talk about vampires, or pod by
Night which is on all good podcast services where I talk about vampires. And
last week people were like, oh wow, the animation that Brad did was
incredible. I wish there was a dating sim for Leach. There is,
Yep, there is. It's I believe it's in Leach. Yeah, I
believe that link is in the description, but I'll make sure it is regardless.
Yeah. I also think we've got a couple of links on Leech's page
on table Story. But if you go to table Street at TV slash Stitch,
you'll get to the Josh's podcast. For the record, the dating sim
thing has all the season one characters in case you spoil yourself, yeah,
just before you dive in expecting these ones. It's not a spoiler for anything
though, because it's like an alternate timeline kind of thing, so you can
actually play a character. They're in the universe and interact with the wonderful its
voice acted by them. I wrote it so in a month, which is
why it's not rough around the edges. But it's good. Literally what it
was jam you can bunk Peachy? Sorry you can, Alex. Wait,
I didn't know you could bank Peachy? Well, what's that link? What's
that links? A really really graphic secret sub boss where you have to fight
fight fight? Did you see season one? What the fuck? You grab
him by the jaw? And then you can like click smooch or kill or
both Mary kill, And if you haven't seen season one you can go and
watch it. There's all the table story links to all of the playlists and
stuff as well, and I think I meant to make a big playlist eventually
where it just plays through all of them, which I think would be a
good idea. Yeah, so you just watch the anthology unfold for the next
thirty five years of us doing this. Yes, yeah, there's there's meta
stuff going on between three seasons. Well, if you want to in the
distance discord. Okay, quick question before I take us to the thing.
There was a season two snippet today? Was there not. You don't have
to see what it was. There was a callback, wasn't there. I'm
thinking of one of the symbols that you described on this guy's body. Oh,
I actually I thought the I thing was to the to the Yeah.
I think it probably is. Yeah. Yeah, well, I mean it
sucks like when you're like, I don't know about this. In the back
of my head, I'm like, yeah, I mean it might not be.
But Vampire Lauri is pretty He's going to do so much research this week.
Yeah, I'm going to try and get a fucking cross by grade.
Yeah. I guess in real life I might be rolling up another character.
No no, no, no, no, no no no, no,
no no no. We've got shipped to do. Don't you gone away?
Okay? Are you going to magically heal her ribs? No? I guess
hell yeah, yeah, I guess we'll find out. I guess I'm benched
broken. No no, no, no, no, no, no,
all right, we're out save for the post credits by I Oh hope not
hmm. I didn't think your kind had manners. Shut the fuck up and
get out of the way. This is my flat looks like a fucking ida.
Wow, come on in So what do I owe the pleasure? Can
I check in your stellar live? Well? I alive? Do you want
to feel for a pulse? Mhm no, I don't. So why are
you really here? You got any trouble with my voice? Trouble? No?
All right, you're gonna stop fucking laughing? All right? No,
h it's the Nines. I'm not one of your little fucking fuck boys.
Whatever it is, you bunch, do what do you want why? I
wanted to make sure you were still alive? What do you care? Because
I've been protecting you for the last you Yeah? Your dad you made a
deal, is that right? Yeah? He wanted you alive. I wanted
stuff from him. What do you want from him? Or? Do you
go what I want from him? Mostly? Mm hmm. Happen to know
where he is? Yeah? I know what he is? Hm hmm.
Don't suppose you'd mind telling me you don't know where your dad is? How
do I get you out of here? You can throw me out? Yeah?
I don't think I like my chances alone at least right, So I
don't suppose you're gonna tell me where Papa is. So you and him don't
get on when I'm a useful tool he contacts me, and if not,
he'll just create another. He's the one I am. Yeah, yeah,
but he still wants you are alive. I'm guessing you don't know why.
I mean up until you said that because you're his daughter, but m yeah,
I don't think that's it. And he used to work for the prince.
He used to work for a lot of princess as far as I know.
Oh so he is one of those one of who the fucking rilla?
You were working for? For him? Maybe now you can do me a
favor. Hang on, I wasn't fucking working for him. Clearly you were.
You had something I wanted and I could do something for him, which
is you're still I don't know there, I guess useful. You want me
to do something for you for free? Is there? I didn't think you
type worked for free. I work for freedoms? Does that count? Oh
boy? Right? So anyway, yeah, how about you, I don't
know, pay Papa another visit before he vanishes and maybe see that he doesn't
