to give us00:12:33
the you know one minute introduction00:12:36
of your character what is what is the00:12:38
first thing00:12:40
someone notices about your character00:12:44
uh tiana why don't you start us off sure00:12:48
i am playing suzanne edeshen and the00:12:50
first thing that00:12:51
anyone notices about about her is00:12:53
piercing blue eyes she has very light00:12:55
blue eyes00:12:57
um she's five foot seven and00:13:00
tanned spends a lot of time clearly out00:13:02
in the sun long red hair00:13:04
usually in a braid down down about the00:13:05
middle of her back00:13:07
and at the moment she's she's wearing a00:13:10
button-down plaid shirt kind of like the00:13:12
one i'm wearing now00:13:13
and uh just sort of like sitting back in00:13:16
the stage coach00:13:18
hat pulled down over her eyes just00:13:19
waiting she doesn't she doesn't much00:13:21
care for stage coaches she prefers to be00:13:23
on the back of her own horse00:13:25
now you are a federal marshal yes uh00:13:29
is your badge evident um00:13:34
at the moment no i00:13:37
am not i'm not exactly incognito but i'm00:13:40
not openly a federal marshal at the moment00:13:42
unless i need to be00:13:44
all right elda brad is gifting subs now00:13:48
i finally got a gift sub what right00:13:52
it only took you a year in a couple00:13:54
years uh00:13:55
thank you so much elder brat for the00:13:57
gift subs that's00:13:59
that's wonderful um and now i can00:14:02
you know now i can subscribe again00:14:04
that's great00:14:06
you can hit that not one emote yeah00:14:08
that's all good00:14:09
paradise with the o1 yeah speaking of i00:14:12
need to subscribe for my 21st month00:14:17
uh all right well she's doing that00:14:18
thomas what's the first thing uh00:14:20
uh tell us about elias jackson so elias00:14:23
jackson00:14:24
uh you notice a couple things he's small00:14:27
he's uh not a big guy um00:14:30
he was a lot smarter during character00:14:33
creation than he is today00:14:36
um what did you do you hit him over the00:14:38
head with a lead pipe00:14:40
i i did a little adjustments because i00:14:42
think i needed a more uh00:14:44
capable character but00:14:47
you don't notice is uh00:14:50
he's got a a leather-bound journal that00:14:54
he is attempting to write in in this name00:14:59
it's easier than a um00:15:03
easier than riding a horse but not great00:15:08
and he's always you know making notes00:15:12
jotting something down and even even00:15:16
asking say that one more time and then00:15:20
trying to write down verbatim the quote00:15:25
uh there you go all right um00:15:28
and uh jonesy what do you got00:15:32
oh yes julen c well so i am00:15:35
um you know this00:15:38
nicely aged woman00:15:41
who is small but buff00:15:47
you could probably tell she can she00:15:49
makes things00:15:50
she makes things for a living but what00:15:53
she makes00:15:54
you know most people assume she's uh00:15:56
blacksmith00:15:57
um i do a lot of that but i i i'm00:16:00
fascinated by way things work00:16:03
so i'm always asking people about their00:16:05
guns or what they have or00:16:06
if i see something that looks oh how00:16:10
does that mill work00:16:11
how are you doing that you know what00:16:12
everybody loves in this time frame00:16:14
asking about their guns yeah i've00:16:17
noticed00:16:21
uh uh yeah all right so uh um yeah i00:16:23
think the takeaway here is there is00:16:25
um you know you are clearly someone who00:16:27
works with their hands00:16:29
you know there's the the all right um00:16:32
amy so i'm abe00:16:36
from junior um of the illustrious00:16:39
sausage king of chicago sun um00:16:43
i had to look that up to find out that00:16:45
was fake [Laughter]00:16:49
in case anyone's confused aproman senior00:16:52
um that's reference from00:16:54
ferris bueller's day off so if you find00:16:57
that on the internet00:16:58
um so he is an obviously chicago00:17:02
chicago midwestern born um first00:17:04
generation american00:17:06
east coast educated tall beautiful00:17:09
blonde like00:17:12

appearance characters i know i can't00:17:16
help it00:17:17
just wait till senior comes to play yeah00:17:20
you're gorgeous or the other way he's00:17:23
he's the other way00:17:25
i look like mom um00:17:28
and i also stick out like a sore thumb00:17:32
it's like i wear med i wear midwestern00:17:34
clothes00:17:35
um i don't wear midwestern clothes00:17:36
either and i don't wear western clothes00:17:38
really i mean i try to00:17:40

tanned leather00:17:43
with sheeps like with sheep fur inside00:17:45
of the coat like00:17:47
there's everybody else and then there's00:17:48
me trying to fake looking like00:17:51
i belong so that's essentially like you00:17:53

no it's it's no it's that thing where00:19:07
people do they they're out and you can00:19:09
just tell like00:19:10
you get a lot of sun and a lot of wind00:19:12
and a lot of like exposure00:19:14
yeah my my my dad's actually like that00:19:17
but he's a farm boy so you know00:19:18
yeah and he's got a combination of very00:19:20
like utilitarian cheap clothes but his00:19:23
jacket is actually it was00:19:25
once actually a nice jacket but you can00:19:28
see where it's been patched together and00:19:29
it's really just garbage but00:19:31
uh but he rocks it holds on to it he00:19:34
thinks he rocks it00:19:35
did he grab it from it from abe froman's00:19:37
uh throwaways can we downs yep00:19:40
yeah it's one of the vapes jackets00:19:43
um so you are you are headed to this00:19:46
town00:19:47
um and you don't know you know this00:19:49
you're you're gonna set up a base of00:19:51
operations there00:19:53
um and uh um00:19:56
as you are in this stage coach riding up00:19:59
to it you're00:20:00
you've been in this stagecoach for uh00:20:02
you left00:20:04
let's see from colorado you left kansas00:20:06
city00:20:07
probably you know several days ago uh00:20:10
and00:20:11
you you have made your way slowly00:20:15
up uh a long ways00:20:18
and you um00:20:21
they they tell you that you're in00:20:22
colorado now you you take your their00:20:24
word for it but you00:20:25
you definitely you feel the altitude00:20:28
uh as you as you get higher up00:20:32
and um it is00:20:35
uh uh it is about uh it's it's late00:20:38
afternoon00:20:39
when the stage coach you hear uh the00:20:42
driver00:20:43
like call to a halt whoa whoa00:20:46
and uh it slows and00:20:50
the driver as he is want to do kicks00:20:53
uh the side of the coach with it like00:20:56
below his seat which00:20:58
is kind of over the back of your head00:21:01
uh and yells down uh tree on the road00:21:04
gonna clear it out00:21:07
y'all stay put and00:21:10
you hear he and uh uh the the00:21:14
uh shotgun man uh both get down00:21:17
from the tree00:21:20
uh and then it's quiet you can't really00:21:25
uh uh the you can't really hear much00:21:28
of what's going on up front i mean00:21:30
because there's not much going on if00:21:32
there were gunshots or something you'd00:21:33
certainly hear them you don't hear00:21:34
anything00:21:35
um the tree in the road that's what i00:21:39
would do if i was going to ambush00:21:40
someone yeah well exactly and00:21:42
and since i was thinking exactly the00:21:43
same thing like she set up pushing her00:21:45
hat up going00:21:46
i wonder i'm gonna stick my head out and00:21:49
uh see what i see00:21:53
you stick your head out uh and you see00:21:56
the um the driver and the shotgun man00:22:00
both standing in front of a large tree00:22:03
that is across00:22:04
the path um and in sort of tableau from00:22:08
behind00:22:09
there he the driver is doing the00:22:11
stereotypical like push his hat up to00:22:13
rub his forehead thing as he's like00:22:15
looking at something that perplexes him00:22:18
does it look like00:22:19
this was a natural fall uh it does the00:22:22
tree00:22:23
doesn't look like it was cut00:22:26
okay but like the the other part is near00:22:29
the road so it doesn't look like it was00:22:31
like that's right yeah it was not dragged here it was not00:22:33
chopped down or anything like that00:22:34
there's clearly00:22:36
um the trees uh make me a00:22:39
let's call it a natural world role00:22:42
oh let's follow the campaign00:22:46
no00:22:49
so what you do see you could spend luck00:22:54
certainly could uh guess what00:22:57
uh uh you got plenty of re-rolls uh no00:22:59
what you will see is that um the tree is00:23:02
in ragged shape oh do they need do they00:23:06
need somebody to help lift00:23:08
um she asks you that00:23:11
hey i don't know i don't like sitting in00:23:14
this thing i00:23:15
i would like to get out yeah this is a00:23:17
this is a good i would go help me00:23:19
get up and go pee in the woods all right00:23:23
yeah uh uh elias jackson heads off into00:23:25
the forest alone00:23:26
[Laughter]00:23:30
no way that could go wrong behind the00:23:32
first biggest tree00:23:34
yeah john john j is going to go out and00:23:35
see if she can help all right00:23:37
um or with the with the branch i'm just00:23:41
curious00:23:42
i mean either way by the way it's a00:23:43
branch right00:23:44
[Laughter]00:23:48
no he's his size it's only 40.00:23:52
uh what do we want with peeing00:23:55
how can i give him advantage yeah he00:23:56
would like to aid00:24:02
uh00:24:04
thomas gets to roll navigation uh or00:24:07
if you want to write your name it's00:24:08
raining read write english uh00:24:10
so uh yeah you you anybody that wants to00:24:13
can get out00:24:14
um yeah suzanna you come up00:24:17
to oh sorry jonesy you come up to the00:24:19
the tree and the00:24:20
the two guys are looking at it and uh00:24:23
make me a natural world rule00:24:27
i'm beginning to see where i should have00:24:28
invested points in this one00:24:35
this is a journey you're taking it's00:24:37
like i'm going what do i need to do to00:24:39
get it i have to roll00:24:40
under it again it's been a minute since00:24:42
we've played it's like what00:24:44
no i didn't make uh really close though00:24:46
can i00:24:47
i just have to because i'm bored00:24:51
what's the deal with this tree is it an00:24:53
ambush00:24:55
uh but who did you are you just saying00:24:57
that out loud00:24:59
yeah i'm walking up to it like00:25:01
everyone's confused00:25:02
alright yeah get around the the the00:25:06
driver will look at you00:25:07
uh well uh no sir if this was an ambush00:25:10
uh uh we'd all been shot by now00:25:16
well then what are we what are we00:25:17
looking at yeah let's move this thing00:25:19
let's do this00:25:20
well what's the confusion i i'm just we00:25:23
we just aren't never seen a tree covered00:25:26
in you know00:25:29
i don't know i guess that's sap and and00:25:31
you know now that he says this you00:25:33
notice that the tree is covered in this weird00:25:37
yellow sappy sort of00:25:41
um i mean without natural world you're00:25:44
not sure00:25:45
if you know what sap should look like00:25:49
let me have a crack at it all right yeah00:25:50
make a natural world roll00:25:55
uh critical success oh this is no are00:25:58
you and what have you done with nick00:26:02
yes but also he's natural world is his00:26:05
thing00:26:06
you know it occurs to me just in case00:26:08
anybody is joining us for the first time00:26:10
and has not played call of cthulhu00:26:12
we should do a quick like so uh when i00:26:14
ask for00:26:15
roles uh our players have skills that00:26:18
are based zero out of a hundred they're rolling00:26:20
percentile dice they want to get under00:26:22
that00:26:23
if they can't um if they miss the role00:26:25
they have a couple options they have00:26:27
luck points that they can spend one for00:26:30
one to bring the role down00:26:32
that's one way they can also push a roll00:26:34
if they miss it00:26:35
and pushing a role is a mechanic where00:26:38
you sort of give me a story reason why00:26:40
you're redoubling your efforts to do00:26:42
something and then you can roll again and if you00:26:44
make it awesome but if you miss00:26:46
something bad's gonna happen uh00:26:52
look look the first time i ever pushed a00:26:54
roll alexandria lost her voice i'm not a00:26:56
fan00:26:58
uh so a critical success is00:27:01
uh a less than is a a fifth00:27:04
of your of his of whatever his skill is00:27:07
uh and then there's also a hard success00:27:10
which is half00:27:11
of your skill roll and if if you get00:27:13
those00:27:14
uh uh those bifurcations of your skills00:27:17
you get a better result so with a00:27:18
critical00:27:19
this is not tree sap you know what00:27:22
teresa this is not syrup00:27:23
this does not seem like um this maybe00:27:26
it's some sort of00:27:27
fungus or something maybe this tree was00:27:30
diseased00:27:32
what now oh and you touched it yeah it00:27:34
is very sticky00:27:36
um and the other thing that you notice00:27:39
with a critical success00:27:41
is that this tree um00:27:45
violently uh i mean it didn't00:27:49
it it looks like it was struck by00:27:50
lightning in the way that it like00:27:52
is cracked asunder but there's no00:27:56
burn anywhere well uh but but is the sap00:28:00
along the the breakage or is it just00:28:02
outside of it00:28:04
uh it is a lot well so the the tree is00:28:06
essentially like00:28:07
cracked open almost like um you know00:28:11
almost like a uh uh00:28:14
i guess so my question is with the00:28:18
sap does it look like the tree was hit00:28:21
by a blast of this stuff and whatever00:28:22
hit it00:28:23
broke it off as in there's not really00:28:25
much within the breakage itself you know00:28:27
what you got a heart you got a critical00:28:28
success00:28:29
it looks like it something erupted from00:28:32
within00:28:33
oh which is very weird that's00:28:37
the yeah i'm not even gonna tell that00:28:40
sounds crazy00:28:41
yeah no it's very strange00:28:45
it looks like whatever this sap is00:28:48
was inside the tree and kind of came out00:28:52
i i i i see jared looking at all this00:28:55
kind of stuff and i i oh no00:28:58
what is wrong oh oh don't don't touch it00:29:03
we have to move the tree uh there are00:29:06
parts of the tree that are not covered00:29:08
in this stuff00:29:09
okay yeah let's let's hook things and00:29:11
pull from there but00:29:14
yeah which so when you start doing that00:29:16
the driver and the shotgun guy will like00:29:18
take a step back00:29:20
from whatever's on there uh some kind of00:29:23
mold or something it's uh00:29:27
well you know uh sometimes trees get00:29:30
uh get sick and die00:29:34
i'm uh i'm going to uh uh start uh00:29:37
drawing the tree00:29:40
documenting the things and and jared you00:29:43
said this was some sort of00:29:44
mold and we shouldn't touch it uh00:29:47
uh i'll i'll pull talk to him i'm gonna00:29:51
grab the tree aside00:29:54
who wants to follow me but i don't want00:29:56
to make a scene no no no no no00:29:58
yeah so jonesy the the driver and the00:30:01
shotgun man will help you00:30:02
as you like move the you you honestly00:30:05
are stronger than both of them00:30:06
so like you are live doing the heavy00:30:08
lifting there00:30:10
um well and and well they're doing all00:30:12
of that i have i've00:30:13
i've got my rifle out and like have it00:30:15
hooked under my arm and pointed down at00:30:17
the ground just00:30:18
casually watching not like on alert but00:30:21
ready to be active00:30:22
to ready for danger if it happens just00:30:25
because i don't trust the situation00:30:27
yeah nothing uh nothing nothing seems to00:30:30
be happening as they uh i see that she's got this so00:30:34
i just wherever00:30:36
like wherever the prospector was sitting00:30:38
i just swing my legs up and put my hat00:30:39
everything i'm like you got this00:30:40
and then just put my head over my head00:30:42
and be like yep abe is already abe00:30:45
abe has somehow the ability despite00:30:47
being a city boy to sleep at a moment's00:30:49
notice00:30:51
it's the rocking of the cradle yeah00:30:53
that's right that's right00:30:54
um and uh so once i've kind of done00:30:57
that and they're kind of pointed i want00:30:59
to look at are there other trees that00:31:01
have similar anything we'd have to see00:31:04
from the inside00:31:05
uh i'll take out my bowie knife and try00:31:07
and find a tree00:31:08
next to where this one had fallen from00:31:10
its base00:31:12
you see the stump so that's no problem00:31:14
yeah i'll start chipping away00:31:16
because it i'll tell elias like it looks00:31:18
like it came from the inside and it00:31:20
looked like it uh it happened all at once it just00:31:23
shattered it00:31:24
that's that is not normal no00:31:29
uh don't bring any of it in00:31:35
that doesn't sound pleasant uh yeah you00:31:38
so you start chipping away at one of the00:31:39
trees uh and00:31:42
this tree seems uh relatively solid00:31:45
okay this does not see there doesn't00:31:47
seem to be00:31:48
uh any sort of you know you like jab00:31:51
your knife pretty far into it and00:31:52
nothing weird comes out00:31:55
are there any are there any signs on the00:31:58
the stump of the tree that i can look00:32:01
around and see00:32:02
if any of the other trees have similar00:32:04
signs uh there00:32:06
there's not any symbols or anything like00:32:08
that uh no00:32:09
but just like like the usually if00:32:12
something's diseased you can kind of get00:32:13
an idea00:32:14
for it yeah so the sense you get is that00:32:16
whatever came out of this tree00:32:18
it was inside the tree and it wasn't00:32:21
there00:32:22
it didn't seem it doesn't look like00:32:23
there's any external markings00:32:25
so a couple of questions the um00:32:29
it's spring so other trees are probably00:32:32
in bloom00:32:33
uh was this one as well in bloom00:32:36
uh this tree was in bloom yeah okay and00:32:40
what kind of tree is it00:32:43
i i ask jared because i will00:32:47
and jared will tell you it is a a very00:32:49
appropriate tree00:32:50
for probably a pine or a fur i'm00:32:53
guessing for up in the00:32:54
you know the the rockies a larch00:33:00
sure number nine00:33:06
it's a cilantro tree00:33:11
now i i i wipe my hands off with some00:33:14
some leaves and stuff that are around00:33:15
i'm going to go back in the coach and00:33:16
say let's get going00:33:18
sorry make me a luck roll jonesy00:33:23
oh yes i got 19. yeah so you didn't get00:33:26
any you were you know you were very careful00:33:28
uh00:33:29
can i grab like some whiskey or00:33:33
something and wash my hands off00:33:35
yeah yeah alcohol clearly washes this00:33:37
off00:33:38
um uh everybody who's outside so00:33:41
everyone except00:33:42
a make a spot hidden roll00:33:46
on cursed ice00:33:50
oh 70. i made it right on the nose all00:33:53
right00:33:54
looks like two made it and nick i got a00:33:57
a one wow00:34:01
who are you and what have you done with00:34:02
nick yeah with my first guy these are00:34:03
these are my i'm pretty sure these are00:34:05
my cursed ice too so i don't know00:34:07
that means something bad's gonna happen00:34:08
okay guys i need a better curse00:34:11
so uh uh you all all three of you notice00:34:14
right away00:34:15
um that the uh the driver did not get00:34:20
any on him00:34:21
the shotgun man like is00:34:25
he's not covered in it but he got a lot00:34:28
on him00:34:29
yeah all his arms and stuff huh yeah00:34:32
does jared see anyone else in the group00:34:35
move to like try and clean him off00:34:38
he looks around is does he wearing long00:34:41
sleeves or short sleeves00:34:42
uh it's still spring it's spring00:34:45
mountain00:34:46
no no it's it's still chilly he's00:34:48
wearing he's actually wearing a duster00:34:50
so it's mainly on his jacket yeah we00:34:53
don't want that inside00:34:54
yeah i'm gonna well he's he'd be sitting00:34:56
outside00:34:57
but still but i don't want this stuff00:34:59
yeah all since i had the whiskey00:35:01
i'll take a rag soak it and i'll you00:35:03
know00:35:04
hold we'll see you got some you got and00:35:06
i'll start wiping him off00:35:07
uh he looks very sad that that is your00:35:11
use of whiskey00:35:12
uh and he's like looking at the bottle00:35:15
oh yeah00:35:16
clean out your mouth if you break if you00:35:18
give me this00:35:20
uh and he yeah well he'll he'll he'll00:35:22
let you do whatever you want while he's00:35:24
got the whiskey bottle00:35:27
yeah good good good good call jared00:35:30
uh so yeah you you you clean his jacket00:35:33
off and you got an 0-100:35:34
you are sure that there is no residue on00:35:38
him we're gonna have to get some of it00:35:40
in his eyes to make sure flush it out00:35:44
maybe no i'm kidding maybe don't put00:35:46
whiskey in a man's eyes that seems a bit00:35:48
uh a bit painful00:35:51
i wonder what would happen if you did i00:35:53
i think that's an experiment we'll have00:35:54
to just get00:35:56
back how about you miss jackson we can00:35:59
do that to you00:36:00
oh no that's what interns are for00:36:04
uh let's just say natives let's just00:36:08
we don't need we don't need to we don't00:36:09
need the period cosplay00:36:11
everything here that's that's fine uh00:36:15
so um yeah um the driver is gonna like00:36:18
well if uh00:36:19
y'all don't mind we're gonna get going00:36:20
again please00:36:22
that's when i poke my hat out and just00:36:24
see anybody need any help00:36:28
just like shoot him a look over my00:36:29
shoulder like no mr frum and i think we00:36:32
got it00:36:33
it's perfect he supplied the whiskey00:36:36
i'll have you know00:36:38
uh and yeah yep you get back on and the00:36:41
rest of your ride00:36:42
to stillwater is uneventful um00:36:46
you come across a rise and you00:36:49
um the the uh the driver will once again00:36:52
boot the while you're traveling we'll00:36:54
boot the the floorboard00:36:56
uh and say uh all right here's00:36:59
stillwater y'all get ready00:37:01
and you looking out the windows you see00:37:05
a um depending on if you are a rural or00:37:10
urban sort you either see a thriving00:37:13
mining town or you see a complete00:37:16
[ __ ]00:37:17
uh this um most of the buildings00:37:20
in this town are tents uh it is00:37:24
uh it is large it looks like you know00:37:27
there could be a thousand people here00:37:29
uh there's there's a lot of them there00:37:31
are some00:37:32
wooden buildings they seem fairly new00:37:36
uh and uh yeah you guys00:37:39
you guys did some research on stillwater00:37:41
before you came it's a my it's a boom00:37:43
town00:37:44
so they found gold and all of the00:37:46
suddens00:37:47
you know what was a sleepy little camp00:37:49

points at a large tent00:41:08
that is basically just an awning that uh00:41:11
that doesn't have00:41:12
um it's kind of a uh uh it's like that00:41:15
that tint with no walls kind of thing um00:41:20
uh it's got uh uh tree trunks00:41:23
are the seats and uh uh there00:41:27
is it looks like cheap liquor he says00:41:29
but um00:41:30
you know if you want the fancy stuff uh00:41:32
there's abe's whiskey00:41:34
and seaguars that's uh00:41:37
that's where i go when uh when i got a00:41:39
dollar in my pocket00:41:44
how often do you come up here to00:41:46
stillwater00:41:47
uh well a lot more in the past year uh00:41:50
since it's uh uh since it's booming uh00:41:53
but00:41:54
the the you know the kansas city route00:41:56
uh not00:41:57
not too many folks come up here uh00:42:00
especially during the winter00:42:03
um how when were you here last00:42:08
oh round about last fall right before00:42:10
the snow00:42:12
once the winter comes in i i don't00:42:15
i don't truck to no snow and the hotel00:42:18
was here at that point yes00:42:20
oh yeah yeah it was just uh fairly new00:42:25
hmm he starts just taking some notes you00:42:28
know he's gonna write a story about00:42:29
stillwater00:42:30
uh and um00:42:34
yeah there will be uh uh you know there00:42:36
is00:42:39
you can find there are probably a dozen00:42:42
saloons in this town that you can find00:42:46
all over the place uh there are um00:42:52
there are um00:42:56
i don't know there are probably a half00:42:58
dozen brothels00:43:00

uh and uh00:43:22
everybody and everybody make me a spot00:43:24
hidden roll00:43:28
in the box it's a normal success00:43:34
all right so it's not a normal success00:43:36
one of those is which00:43:37
it doesn't matter because i rolled two00:43:39
dice and they both say00:43:40
90. so i would consider that a 99.00:43:43
i think you're right all right so um00:43:47
you beat me to it no00:43:50
the first critical fail of the campaign00:43:53
uh so00:43:54
you have uh you all00:43:58

that people can overhear me00:48:11
you know i'm from chicago i do that00:48:14
that's fine just generally yeah it is um00:48:18
so i'm i actually kind of want to this00:48:20
isn't a big town right00:48:22
i mean well i mean for it it's not small00:48:25
this is a boom town so okay you know00:48:28
there are 80000:48:29
people in this town probably okay it's00:48:32
all over the place so it's not like the00:48:35
other hotels across the street00:48:37

do we know which hotel the agents that00:48:43
we're looking for00:48:44

ask if uh they've seen him check in here00:48:52
uh right oh uh and you you have the00:48:54
names of the three of them00:48:55
uh but the names are not important and i00:48:59

names of the agents00:49:02
okay well it sounds00:49:05
i i didn't see a city hall round here00:49:08
which means00:49:09
this this fellow stratton he's he's not00:49:11

interest00:49:48
my job is to stand here and tell people00:49:50
they shouldn't stay at this hotel00:49:53
but are you offering any sort of00:49:55
discounts for uh staying at the other00:49:58

most of the brothels does he have a00:50:48
blacksmith shop00:50:53
the blacksmith is part of delivery and00:50:56
the banker uh owns delivery00:51:03
what is spend is spend large like his00:51:06
spending like an enforcer from like chicago you00:51:08

so00:54:43
uh money is hard to come by in this day00:54:48
and age if you're not abe and so uh here's what00:54:51
we're gonna do00:54:52
everybody let's do this one at a time so00:54:54
you're gonna make me a credit rating00:54:56
roll00:54:57
and we're gonna figure out how much cash00:54:59
you have on your person00:55:02
so uh thomas start us off make a credit00:55:04
rating roll00:55:06
all right oranges is the tens00:55:10
because i'm not using that die00:55:14
63 is that a failure00:55:17
yes all right so you have00:55:20
half your credit rating in dollars00:55:23
okay that's not bad no00:55:30
all right uh amy your credit rating is00:55:33
ridiculous00:55:34
yeah my credit rating is 70 so let's go00:55:36
oh and i hit a 2500:55:38
so all right you have00:55:41
um you have several hundred you have as00:55:44
much cash as you need00:55:45
on your it's it's it's like like there's00:55:49
the stuff i spend00:55:50
and then there's the big bills in my00:55:52
like in my jacket finder right here00:55:54
your dad always told you to hide some00:55:56
money you know exactly00:55:58
there's always money in the banana stand00:56:01
all right susannah what do you got00:56:04
uh 41 is a success all right so you have00:56:08
your credit rating times one00:56:10
dollars jared now things get dark00:56:17
add two dollars to whatever you get here00:56:19
because00:56:20
[Laughter]00:56:22
i have two dollars all right what'd you00:56:24
roll00:56:25
i rolled a 50 and i needed to make a00:56:28
five00:56:30
yes right your credit rating is bad yeah00:56:32
so00:56:33
you have the clothes on your back and00:56:35
now you have two dollars00:56:37
oh what do you got00:56:42
oh yeah i've got uh00:56:46
what's that 30 31 oh i didn't quite make00:56:50
i have no i made my credit rating but i00:56:53
was trying to get a hard one which was00:56:54
30.00:56:55
so i didn't make that credit rating in00:56:56
dollars all right00:56:58
wait what if i spend all my luck00:57:01
[Laughter]00:57:03
you should push this one this is the00:57:05
role00:57:08
uh just to give you a sense of00:57:11
sort of the costs of things in this time00:57:15
uh a bath is 50 cents00:57:18
a a bath with a breath using new water00:57:22
is a dollar00:57:24
uh a hotel like the the original00:57:28
is two dollars a night the uh uh the00:57:31
the lone pine is five dollars a night00:57:35
something all right glad we are going to00:57:37
the original00:57:40
meals at the original are probably about00:57:42
a quarter00:57:43
uh meals at the uh at the lone pine are00:57:48
probably two dollars uh00:57:51
drinks most importantly uh a gl00:57:54
uh a glass of beer is a nickel00:57:58
a shot of whiskey uh is ten cents00:58:02
a bottle of whiskey is you know a buck00:58:05
for the crappy stuff00:58:11
so that just gives you a sense of kind00:58:13
of what you're spending00:58:15
so mechanically just because we're doing00:58:17
this as00:58:18
a bunch of like short stories are we00:58:20
going to do a credit writing role at the00:58:21
start of each like short00:58:22
short campaign each short arc i haven't00:58:24
decided we'll figure that out00:58:26
but that's just sort of a general idea00:58:28
of how much money you have on your00:58:30
person00:58:31
uh uh and then you know we'll sort of00:58:35
figure out what00:58:36
uh what what that means as we kind of do00:58:39
other stories for a while there's00:58:40
probably going to be00:58:42
fairly a fairly linear progression00:58:47
all right so you guys head to the uh00:58:49
original00:58:50
jared is dragging three uh trunks of00:58:53
clothes behind him00:58:54
the the whole way it's a good thing i00:58:57
don't have any luggage for myself00:58:58
because it really freaks me out00:59:00
well i will help him i was going to say00:59:03

um01:15:52
you didn't lose to the house you lost to01:15:54
this guy who01:15:55
was essentially one of the players it01:15:57
wasn't so there's it's not like a casino01:15:59
where there's you know the house and01:16:00
cash in and everything this was just01:16:02
people playing01:16:04
um but you know you did buy a number of01:16:07
rounds first so you are now very popular01:16:10
like the people when you walk out01:16:11
everyone's like01:16:16
uh all right so back to the hotel01:16:20
you uh you come in to the original which01:16:22
is um01:16:24
for the three of you one of the nicer01:16:26

you said uh if it was two dollars for a01:16:50
room here and five dollars at the there01:16:52
you go that's two dollars01:16:54
uh rooms are two dollars a night uh01:16:57
if you want uh if you wanna01:17:00
pay for a week01:17:04
then we'll call it uh we'll call it ten01:17:06
dollars for seven days01:17:10
uh breakfast is included01:17:16
and uh we'll give you one bath for the01:17:18
week for that ten dollars01:17:22

week thank you kindly sir you'll have01:26:07
your money01:26:08
and i'll take a bath and i'll eat your01:26:10
breakfast if you really want me to01:26:13
there we go fits right quite nicely01:26:16
really drying every finger01:26:18
small as this guy's fingers he's a01:26:21
weasley little01:26:22
man uh so yeah you all now have rooms01:26:25
in the uh the original01:26:29
uh and uh he'll point out to you he01:26:31
gives you he shows you where the elkhorn01:26:33
is01:26:34
uh jonesy uh01:26:38
yeah so we uh meet down downstairs or01:26:41
something after01:26:43
after everybody gets their room and01:26:44
everything yeah once01:26:46
once my things are secure uh you know i01:26:48
have the pistol that i wear on my hip01:26:50
but everyone wears a pistol around here01:26:52
i don't imagine that'll be noticed01:26:54
it's true so you don't see uh there's01:26:57
not a lot of01:26:58
open carrying of rifles no such in town01:27:01
but everyone has a pistol on their head01:27:03
yeah i have nowhere to keep my01:27:06
shotgun other than on me so that's in01:27:09
your room01:27:10
right like like my rifle and shotgun are01:27:12
both in the room01:27:13
yeah don't need them on the day today01:27:18
i have my shotgun on me01:27:22
all right so you're you're walking01:27:24
around uh um you definitely get some01:27:26
looks01:27:27
as you're walking around with a shotgun01:27:29
but you know01:27:30
not a lot so i suppose the real question01:27:34
is what exactly01:27:36
is the cover story that we're going with01:27:37
here because we're going to need to ask01:27:39
about uh the pinkerton agents do we just01:27:42
ask about01:27:43
ask for them by name at the various01:27:45
hotels and see if01:27:46
they they checked in there do we have01:27:50
and they flip through the uh01:27:51
the notes that we haven't do we have01:27:52
their cover story01:27:54
so we can ask their names um01:27:57
and uh you know oftentimes pinkerton01:28:01
agents don't use fake names they just don't01:28:04
announce their pinkerton agents01:28:05
sure well we can say01:28:09
we were some friends of ours01:28:12
came here earlier sent word to us01:28:16
that there was some good work and01:28:19
uh we're trying to catch up with them01:28:23
um and i keep hearing that uh that uh01:28:26
stratton once say a blacksmith01:28:29
so i'm trying to figure out how to see01:28:32
if i can get a meeting01:28:34
well if there's any way that we can01:28:35
avoid dealing with the the politics of01:28:38
this town i'd prefer to but i i we're just here to01:28:42
get our men and get back out01:28:44
and hopefully the the agent the leader01:28:46
that they were here to get01:28:48
but i i'm settling for just the agents01:28:51
if we can01:28:53
i i asked if there was any federal01:28:55
agents that came into town and the01:28:58
um the hotel man was very saying no01:29:01
no federal agents come here so they did01:29:03
not use that as a01:29:05
well not not off not our pink attend01:29:08
agents are federal agents01:29:10
most are not i mean i'm a federal and i01:29:12
say very quietly i'm a federal agent01:29:14
but you stand but i wanted to see if01:29:17
they had anything like that here but01:29:19
they don't01:29:23
right well um01:29:29
i i again i'd prefer to avoid dealing01:29:32
with uh mr stratton if at all possible01:29:34
let's let's start off by asking around01:29:37
at the various01:29:38
uh hotels and whatnot01:29:41
just to see if our men stayed here i01:29:43
mean yeah yeah01:29:45
we all have the names we all have the01:29:46
names right we already have them okay01:29:48
um ezra how long ago did the pinkerton01:29:51
agents come01:29:52
up here uh it was in the fall01:29:56
okay so that was the last that was when01:29:57
the when the stagecoach driver said that01:30:00
that was the last time he was up here01:30:01
that was when they came up01:30:03
maybe not on that stage coach but they01:30:05
were up here in the the last time that01:30:07
they got the pinkerton got any sort of01:30:08
report from them was01:30:10
let's say october okay01:30:17
uh i by the way for the chat the chat01:30:18
wants to know what dynamite01:30:20
cost uh back then according to the book01:30:24
25 cents a stick i think we can get a gm01:30:28
discount for getting dynamite though01:30:30
[Laughter]01:30:33
i do need to go to the general store so01:30:36
well they they would be happy to get your business01:30:38
i'm sure they would01:30:40
so you got so the really the only other01:30:43
hotel in town there's the flop house and01:30:46
then there's the lone pine01:30:49
and generally i mean because we've been01:30:50
pinkerton agents for a while a little01:30:52
while at least01:30:53
so we would know that they wouldn't01:30:56
generally stay at the flop house is that01:30:58
not generally something that's01:30:59
encouraged01:31:00
or would they have done so maybe to01:31:02
maintain a lower cover or does it not01:31:03
matter01:31:05
you know pinkerton is a super loose01:31:09
you know it's not like here here's the01:31:11
procedures and you know there's not a01:31:13
policy manual01:31:15
it's a you know you are01:31:18
we don't care how you do it here's what01:31:20
we want you to do not01:31:21
do they reimburse01:31:25
uh they can yes cool01:31:29
right well what happens is you complete01:31:31
your mission and you get01:31:33
some you get paid um01:31:36
i'll go and talk to the the general01:31:38
manager the person at the front desk01:31:41
um and and inquire about our lost01:31:44
friends unless you all think that isn't01:31:46
a good idea01:31:50
perfect fantasy we should find out if uh01:31:55
if they were in trouble with anyone01:31:56
before we go01:31:58
asking about so getting that out of the01:32:01
way sooner rather than later01:32:03
well but who do you intend to ask01:32:06
whether or not they were in trouble with01:32:07
anybody01:32:08
they could be anywhere in trouble right01:32:11
and there's there's around 800 people in01:32:13
this town01:32:14
i mean well i'm not saying not to do it01:32:16
i'm saying let's get it out of the way01:32:18
if we're all here you01:32:19
asked found in trouble we can split01:32:21
that's what i'm saying01:32:24
all right so i'll go talk to the general01:32:26
manager to fill out the desk01:32:27
all right uh yes ma'am just a quick01:32:31
question for you um we01:32:32
we were in contact with some friends of01:32:34
oz who came up here uh last october01:32:37
and wondering if do you keep records01:32:40
that far back01:32:42
uh well ma'am we're we don't we don't01:32:44
usually share our records01:32:47
i i understand that but i'm a bit01:32:48
worried about my friends they01:32:50
they came up here told us there was good01:32:51
work up here and then just01:32:53
vanished off the face of the planet01:32:57
well how about you give me some names01:32:59
and i'll tell you01:33:00
i can do a check and i'll let you know01:33:02
if they're in there that way i don't i'm01:33:04
not sharing01:33:06
confidential information with you01:33:09
sure that that makes perfect sense and01:33:11
i'll give him the names of of the three01:33:13
agents all right um he will go01:33:16
he sits at a desk behind uh behind the01:33:19
counter01:33:20
uh and he pulls a big old logbook01:33:23
out of a desk and he starts to look01:33:27
through it01:33:28
are we all craning over and watching01:33:32
i mean i mean i'm i'm leaning against01:33:34
the desk my elbow on it my chin on my01:33:36
fist and feet kicked back a little just01:33:38
just waiting uh01:33:43
uh well sir uh it looks like those folks01:33:46
did stay here last summer this is that01:33:50
they're here in the summer we lost heard01:33:51
from them in october01:33:53
well i see um well they01:33:56
they stayed with us for a few weeks in01:33:59
july01:34:02
any notion of what mata what where they01:34:04
might have gone from here01:34:07
you know we we don't ask that's that01:34:11
that's probably smart with most of them01:34:12
with most clientele around here01:34:16
uh but they yeah they were here in july01:34:19
all right01:34:20
well thank you kindly yes ma'am01:34:24
now and i'll slide an extra dollar01:34:26
across the counter for for his trouble01:34:28
oh wow well well thank you kindly ma'am01:34:30
thanks kindly01:34:35
god i actually have to keep track of01:34:36
money it's annoying01:34:39
if you lose it all01:34:42
yeah fair enough all right so i'll come01:34:44
back to the group and be like well01:34:46
they did stay here for a few weeks but01:34:47
they were here in july01:34:52
did they come i i don't remember the the01:34:55
the agency told us they came up here in01:34:58
october didn't they01:35:00
so the agency told you that the last01:35:02
they heard from them01:35:04
was in october got it okay okay01:35:07
sorry they'd been up in colorado01:35:11
for some time the agency didn't tell you01:35:13
why01:35:14
um oh wait you know they did that they01:35:16
did they did they're looking for the01:35:18
civil warfare fellow and how is the01:35:21
communication01:35:22
do we know how the communication usually01:35:24
is like01:35:25
telegram okay so we could actually go to01:35:27
the telegram office tomorrow01:35:29
well what time is it right now i mean01:35:30
i've already been01:35:32
late afternoon okay so like i've already01:35:34
drank a lot and01:35:35
lost all my money so it's been a ritual01:35:40
having a good day so far not entirely01:35:45
so my suggestion is that we go back over01:35:48
toward the lone pond01:35:49
and see if maybe our our agents jumped01:35:52
over there01:35:53
uh and stayed there after after july01:35:57
sounds like a good idea maybe uh head in01:35:59
the back door01:36:00
it's either that or sp aspen spell no01:36:03
you know i don't know how much we want01:36:06
to cross that sven fella01:36:10
we're going to have to talk to this uh01:36:12
this guy01:36:13
strat why why why do we have to involve01:36:17
ourselves in local politics01:36:19
because one businessman to another01:36:21
businessman01:36:23
meetings meeting in the social01:36:24
situations it's just a courtesy it's01:36:26
just a plain courtesy01:36:27
at some point he's going to invite me01:36:29
for lunch01:36:31
i just give abe the most the most blank01:36:33
look oh you mean yourself about the01:36:35
other businessman01:36:39
yes i was thinking of myself as the01:36:41
other business person that they would01:36:43
talk to01:36:48
all right so you guys head to the lone01:36:49
pine um01:36:51
and sven is still just01:36:54
oh you you've come back sneaking in the01:36:58
back way right01:37:00
is there a back way in this sort of01:37:02
place not really01:37:04
okay01:37:08
this is way before safety standards01:37:10
elias like walks around the building and01:37:12
then comes back in the front door01:37:14
oh there's always a window or something01:37:16
you could probably climb in a window yes01:37:19
be a little weird uh well um01:37:22
if they leave a window open they're01:37:24
saying they're open for business01:37:26
that's hold on let me put my beard on01:37:28
home01:37:30
i actually take it out of my pocket and01:37:32
give it back to you be like here01:37:34
you forgot this beard if you're gonna01:37:36
jackson01:37:37
what what in god's name are you doing no01:37:40
uh i i don't do that01:37:44
don't teach us so inside the lone pine01:37:47
is a very nice uh well appropriate01:37:50
appropriated hotel01:37:52
uh the the lobby has red velvet and it's01:37:55
you know in very good shape um and01:37:58
there is a bellhop who is like waiting01:38:01
and when you come in he walks right up and01:38:03
he says you got any bags01:38:04
i can get your bags01:38:08
i just think farther into like my code01:38:12
thank you i think i think we're good for01:38:14
the moment is there a restaurant here01:38:16
too you said there is a restaurant01:38:18
that's where we say we're going right oh01:38:21
oh you're just going to the restaurant01:38:23
oh okay well i'll take you right over01:38:26
and01:38:27
so you basically take a right and01:38:28
there's a small room01:38:30
with you know three tables in it uh and01:38:33
a bar and um and a bar01:38:36
and a bar and uh uh yeah they'll they'll01:38:39
sit you down and01:38:41
uh the bellhop is also the waiter01:38:44
what is their cheapest beer uh01:38:47
well we we got uh we got um01:38:50
we got the uh we got the homebrew cider01:38:55
it's a uh uh it's two cents01:38:59
okay yeah yeah i can i can do that01:39:02
all right let me mark this down keep01:39:05
careful track of my monies01:39:09
uh you know they'll bring uh01:39:12
they just sort of reflexively bring01:39:14
everyone a beer01:39:17
and then uh menus come and this place is01:39:21
you know it's a little expensive it's01:39:23
you know you get a you get a good meal01:39:25
for three dollars01:39:28
it's hearty fair but it's not like01:39:32
this is not camp food this is you know01:39:35
there's an actual01:39:36
cook involved oh wow01:39:42
on the menu what is there for less than01:39:44
a dollar01:39:46
uh well sir a baked potato you can get a01:39:49

so thank you how much inspiration the01:54:26
players have01:54:29
any any leftover inspiration that we01:54:31
don't use01:54:32
goes into the book of inspiration which01:54:35
uh01:54:36
when it accumulates a certain amount it01:54:37
triggers a giveaway01:54:39
i mean that's that's nice but we could01:54:41
also01:54:43
burn this entire town to the ground with01:54:46
those bits no i'm just saying allocation of01:54:49
resources we should consider our options01:54:52
happy 12th night flag i wish we were at01:54:55
the hotel instead of you know01:54:56
around the virtual table but here we are01:54:59
i you know what i'll01:55:00
i'll take that offer right now nick you01:55:02
get rid of all those bits and you can01:55:03
start burning this town to the ground01:55:07
how are you gonna even roleplay that01:55:09
[Laughter]01:55:13
we haven't even started the first arc01:55:16
it's my understanding the gold is in01:55:17
flakes we need to smelt it into bars01:55:20
go awry01:55:24
oh we got to get that dakota guy too01:55:26
shake him down for all its flakes01:55:27
oh yeah just i hate just01:55:31
you know there uh from what i understand01:55:33
there is no sheriff in town01:55:35
so maybe we get this dakota guy to show01:55:37
us around01:55:38
the outskirts of town and the best part01:55:41
is we don't have a marshall in the party01:55:44
the redhead just stares in federal01:55:47
marshall01:55:49
also another thank you to ginger fury01:55:52
seven01:55:53
great name thank you for the bits um01:55:55
again01:55:56
seven wants us to also burn the town01:55:58
down so this stack is getting big i01:56:00
think the odds of this town making it01:56:01
out alive are slim01:56:02
oh my goodness there were so many01:56:04
unanswered questions after the first six01:56:06
ginger furys01:56:09
well let's see i thought the seventh was01:56:11
a little contrived they're starting it's01:56:13
starting to feel formulated01:56:15
but but uh kind of like a a question01:56:18
because jared has been paying attention01:56:19
to this whenever there's transactions01:56:21
watching01:56:22
what is the form of the gold they are01:56:24
mining in this town01:56:26
he wasn't there for the flakes but are01:56:28
other people doing flakes are people01:56:30
is there actually mining or is it mostly01:56:31
uh panning it looks like that's01:56:33
a great question01:56:39
nuggets can anyone just pan is this a01:56:41
place where like you get what you01:56:43
and then the economy is built around01:56:46
just the the panners well you saw an assay office01:56:49
and so essay offices usually mean you're01:56:51
buying a claim01:56:52
yeah maybe we should look into that well01:56:55
and and that usually means flakes or01:56:58
very small nuggets01:56:59
having been raised the child of a gold01:57:02
miner01:57:05
ask me about it later i refuse to put01:57:08
roots down in this town01:57:12
but but the idea is hypothetically if we01:57:15
went up enough01:57:16
stream we could find the the vein that's01:57:19
being eroded away right01:57:20
or is that that's not what we're here01:57:24
for01:57:25
you know i mean i'm at the dinner table01:57:27
and i'm like i thought we were here to01:57:28
find joe01:57:29
and jeff and steve but i mean you know01:57:32
dave01:57:33
why is there no day no they're all it's01:57:35
three days01:57:36
three days01:57:40
abe i'm just trying to help you01:57:44
with your situation this i keep carrying01:57:47
the bags01:57:55
somebody is missing panning for gold01:57:57
aren't they01:57:59
yeah i should go up the stream01:58:02
maybe that's where they went we we have01:58:05
so many01:58:06
so many questions that aren't answered01:58:08
right now yeah we don't have time for01:58:09
your field yeah we have to we have to01:58:11
talk to this guy uh01:58:12
uh penna baker yeah damn it if we01:58:16
if if we stay focused we'll get the01:58:18
information that we need01:58:19
possibly find our agents or at least01:58:21
confirm that they're dead01:58:23
and go back to the pinkerton agency and01:58:25
get paid that is much more sure01:58:27
than whatever is out there oh why can't01:58:29
we do a little01:58:31
vote yeah if you want to buy a of a01:58:34
mining pan or if you have one on you01:58:36
and we happen to be at near a creek you01:58:38
can you can go right ahead but you know01:58:40
you might get shot01:58:42
by someone saying hey that's my freak is01:58:44
there a creek in the middle of the town01:58:46
there's a creek in the middle of town01:58:48

wonderful02:06:23
if uh if he wanted to02:06:27
king could uh king could rip your throat02:06:28
out yep02:06:31
they do that so uh so i'm a good man um02:06:34
as i'm smoking and being like02:06:36
charming as hell um so what do02:06:39
what uh stratton what kind of rules of02:06:41
the road is he you know what's he what's02:06:43
what's he running here what kind of02:06:44
angle does he run he's a thug02:06:47
he thinks that uh anything that he02:06:49
doesn't own he tries to burn down02:06:52
or uh he tries to uh he tries to muscle02:06:55
his way in02:06:57
protection that sort of thing he's got02:07:00
uh he's got a number of men you02:07:01
you might have met one of his uh one of02:07:03
his uh uh charming welcoming committee02:07:05
at the front there02:07:06
oh yeah the lads the lads fan yes02:07:09
yeah you know it's easier for us to just02:07:13
not deal with him02:07:14
uh we're slowly but surely buying this02:07:17
town out from under him02:07:20
and you know the old ways02:07:23
are not prepared for the new ways and we02:07:26
just have to02:07:28
see where we can make money in the02:07:29
growing pains we're good on you sir02:07:32
thank you how do you keep the peace then02:07:35
if it's just02:07:36
uh monoimano hair02:07:40
well uh there there's not a lot of peace02:07:44
there tends to be a fair amount of uh02:07:48
you know there there's trouble now and02:07:50
then but um02:07:52
stratton's enough of a businessman to02:07:54
not take things too far02:07:59
i noticed the the the jail when when we02:08:01
came in but i i hear there isn't a law02:08:04
enforcement presence02:08:05
how exactly does that work02:08:10
well uh if somebody does something awful02:08:14
we have a we we get a town council that02:08:16
acts as the jury02:08:18
and they decide what you know if it's02:08:21
just a couple nights in the jail02:08:23
or if it's kicking them out of town02:08:26
stratton's a little too fond of tarring02:08:28
and feathering02:08:30
oh ah barbaric practice yes i02:08:33
i don't i don't see any need for that02:08:35
sort of thing02:08:36
so what do you do if you find out02:08:38
somebody comes to your town to hide02:08:41
from whatever do you invite them in or02:08:49
can i make a roll02:08:53
i think we all want to make psychology02:08:54
roles now really you are welcome too02:08:56
yeah you are welcome to uh02:09:00
in the box in the box02:09:03
i mean he clearly uh you know02:09:07
i have a five i wrote psychiatry02:09:09
actually uh or psychology on02:09:12
johanna johanna not on my friend like i02:09:16
know02:09:17
all right with that whole last statement02:09:19
that you said02:09:21
i i i i wrote psychology on penna baker02:09:24
when when he made that comment sure and02:09:26
you made it02:09:27
yes uh well so he is um02:09:31
uh he's not used to such direct02:09:35
indirect statements uh and uh02:09:38
he's he clearly takes a a beat to like02:09:42
think about his answer um and02:09:46
uh well uh02:09:50
i i have not been in the habit of asking02:09:53
too many questions02:09:58
because you know in my experience in02:10:00
stillwater02:10:02
it's it's a fine town to find a new life02:10:07
does stratton ask a lot of questions02:10:10
about people who come in here02:10:11
he seems to have his finger on the pulse02:10:13
of everything02:10:16
no i don't think i don't think either02:10:19
i think stratton looks at everyone and02:10:21
wonders how he can how they can be of02:10:23
use to stratton02:10:24
as opposed to thinking i like to think a02:10:27
little more strategically02:10:30
that's very fair you know someone can02:10:32
help the town02:10:34
without necessarily helping me and it02:10:37
still02:10:38
is a net positive02:10:42
you're working down tone to help the02:10:43
town not necessarily yourself02:10:46
well i'm working to make money and02:10:50
when the town does well i do well02:10:54
and my employers do well02:10:58
although so uh uh with that good02:11:02
psychology role02:11:03
the one thing you'll notice is you know02:11:05
he's clearly kind of02:11:09
he doesn't think of it in terms of him02:11:11
being employed like he's definitely02:11:13
thinking like i'm running02:11:15
things here you know he's not he's not02:11:17
like02:11:18
oh i have to make sure that my bosses02:11:20
back in kansas city are aware of what's02:11:22
going on sure and i mean his bosses in kansas02:11:24
city are two days away02:11:26
yes at best yeah so02:11:29
yeah i can see that i want to know what02:11:32
uh02:11:33
abe's role told him about jonesy me too02:11:36
i02:11:41
why did you ask that question well i was02:11:44
thinking that uh we're here because we had people02:11:47
coming02:11:48
after that civil war guy so i was02:11:51
wondering if you know that they harbored02:11:53
people here i was wondering if he had a02:11:54
sense of that02:11:55
kind of harboring and then that would02:11:57
have made our guys02:11:59
fight with the people in town right all02:12:01
right so so abe you have a sense of that02:12:03
you have a sense of sort of02:12:04
the why uh uh uh susannah asked02:12:07
joanna asked that question having a02:12:09
johanna anna suzanna is really02:12:11
yeah so it's johanna that's why i called02:12:13
myself jonesy gonzi there you go02:12:15
yeah uh i just thought personally that02:12:17
johanna was gonna02:12:19
just need a place to hide and i wasn't02:12:21
too sure what what we didn't know yet02:12:23
i was starting to wonder that could also02:12:25
be passed02:12:26
uh last chance hashtag chaos in the chat02:12:30
to be entered for that nord games deck uh02:12:34
okay uh so yeah pinabaker is like02:12:38
openly he's just very happy a to have02:12:42
somebody who has you know appreciates02:12:45
the finer things but also you know like02:12:47
he recognizes you and that sort of thing02:12:49
and so he's02:12:50
he is very happy to answer any questions02:12:52
you have about the town and he'll02:12:54
he'll tell you that you know he his main02:12:58
uh his main businesses uh are02:13:01
uh uh he's very proud of the fact that02:13:04
stratton didn't think of starting an02:13:05
assay office02:13:06
and so uh the assay office is actually02:13:09
owned by him and so02:13:10
most of the mining money is going to him02:13:13
and so stratton makes most of his money02:13:15
off of drinks and [ __ ]02:13:17
got it and like i just kind of02:13:21
like a good man so where are02:13:24
my friends my friends here were02:13:25
interested in potentially just doing02:13:26
some02:13:27
side panning for you know as tourist02:13:29
type of you know02:13:30
fun things um don't ask i02:13:33
just you know i enjoy i enjoy fine02:13:36
liquor02:13:37
they enjoy digging in the dirt for rocks02:13:40
so um where are perhaps the best mining02:13:44
areas the best panning areas you know02:13:46
what have you seen02:13:49
well uh just based on what people are02:13:51
bringing in02:13:52
it seems like the farther the farther02:13:54
you head up in the mountains02:13:56
following the stream the better you do02:13:58
uh02:13:59
there's nothing close to town anymore02:14:02
that's all you know that's that's all been uh uh02:14:06
been pretty well uh cleared02:14:10
we had uh we had some friends come02:14:12
through here uh last02:14:13
summer i believe uh and i give him the02:14:16
names and i asked02:14:17
do do they happen to uh do you recognize02:14:20
them at all did they buy a02:14:22
buy a claim or anything they were02:14:25
friends of all of yours02:14:29
oh yeah i had never made their02:14:30
acquaintance actually technically that's02:14:32
an odd question can i can i psychology that02:14:35
you don't need to psychology that02:14:39
sure you can psychology that i already i02:14:42
think i already know02:14:45
sweet 20 associate with all of you02:14:47
associate with these people02:14:49
was the question that was just asked02:14:52
22 out of 40 success yeah essentially02:14:54
what nick says like he was02:14:56
he's he's clearly trying to see if you02:14:58
are all tied to them02:15:00
and it's weird that like five of us are02:15:02
looking for our three friends02:15:04
and i'm uh what is it uh elias02:15:08
basically said he was a friend of yeah02:15:09
i'm gonna be like oh i know the02:15:11
through elias i'm i'm dodging this02:15:13
bullet02:15:15
i i did it i did it i i worked for um02:15:19
the the post as a freelance stringer oh02:15:23
so i'm i did an article on uh one of02:15:26
them in the past and they sent me some02:15:28
information and said that they were02:15:29
coming here and then02:15:30
um you know i might have a story you02:15:34
might be interested in02:15:36
oh yeah i know you're always looking for02:15:37
an angle we have02:15:41
we have uh for about a week now02:15:46
up in the up in the hills uh there was02:15:49
a a silver mine and02:15:52
nobody from the silver mine has been02:15:54
down here in about a week02:15:56
and if some intrepid band02:16:01
were to go up and see what's going on in02:16:03
that silver mine02:16:05
you might find an interesting tale of02:16:07
claim jumpers02:16:10
silver i'd like to get my hands on some02:16:13
silver yeah02:16:14
well uh i i'm trying to remember out of02:16:18
character if he's the one who had who02:16:19
owns the livery02:16:21
he is would would we be able to uh get02:16:24
some assistance with getting some horses02:16:26
to get up in that area02:16:28
because that would be a hell of a trek02:16:30
on foot02:16:32
of course of course yeah i mean if you02:16:35
uh you know i i happen to be an investor in02:16:37
that silver mine02:16:38
so you'd be doing me a solid of course02:16:43
so you you you have02:16:46
a silver mine that you have not02:16:49
heard from for a week02:16:53
i have i own a portion of a silver mine02:16:58
i'm having flashbacks to uh dragon02:17:00
dragon device fire peaks02:17:04
[Music]02:17:05
hold on i need to get my uh firearms02:17:08
silver [Laughter]02:17:13
silver bullets silver bullets for02:17:14
everyone02:17:18
maybe blacksmith could help us with that02:17:20
or we could use this forged02:17:21
and some silver bullets that's why you02:17:22
need a shotgun because you just put the02:17:24
little bits of02:17:25
silver in there gravel02:17:29
no but but no it's is if we go up to the02:17:32
silver mine that would be very good and02:17:34
would there be any kind of reward02:17:36
for uh finding out02:17:41
well i mean i'm i'm putting you up in my02:17:44
hotel02:17:46

montreal i just i just heard canada02:19:55
yeah as long as you're not in quebec02:19:57
because um we hate quebecois02:20:00
no that's it's because it's some weird02:20:02
mail thing02:20:03
uh it's a weird giveaway law thing is02:20:06
what it really is02:20:09
yes so because what we give away isn't02:20:11
in french02:20:12
so we can't i'm here in ontario02:20:16

away oh i'll give this thing away all right02:20:36
i'm crying i'm trying02:20:38
now i'm hoping that cs martel has the02:20:40
good sense to not play d02:20:42
that is my it is a 5v system so it works02:20:45
for02:20:46
carbon 2185 or02:20:49
uh star wars fighting02:20:53
cs martel your name is still in the02:20:55

to go get your stuff if you want i'll02:21:08
i'll i i dropped my rucksack in the02:21:10
chest and locked it so i'll probably02:21:12
go back over there and unlock the fast02:21:14
and grab it yeah i'll go back02:21:16
all right so um i'm guessing abe is not02:21:20
going02:21:21
back up until now now if i'm getting02:21:27
so here's here's so here's an02:21:28

at any point02:25:36
uh you have not asked yet okay then i02:25:39

the the guy at the front desk pitabaker02:25:54
is now move he's02:25:55
off doing something but the they said oh02:25:58
mr pinabaker told me to take care of02:25:59
everything you need so whatever you need02:26:01
i got no problems well much obliged for02:26:04
that no and i'll give the names of the three02:26:06
agents and say02:26:08
uh friends of oz were here around july02:26:11
october02:26:12
and just wanted to check and see if02:26:13
they'd stayed here at any point02:26:16
uh no one by that name stayed here no02:26:20
stay here thank you very much just one02:26:22
chance02:26:23
um and again do let me know if you need02:26:25
anything02:26:28
i i certainly will thank you02:26:32
uh in the lobby of the hotel there's a02:26:34
great big fireplace and a fire burning02:26:37
and king is just curled up in front of02:26:39
the fire02:26:41
so i'd like to gather everyone up and02:26:43
kind of have a quick02:26:45
discussion so brandy by the fire then02:26:48
randy by the fire sounds like an02:26:50
excellent way to spend the evening02:26:54
like king barely looks up as you come by02:26:57
and just sort of holds his head up long02:26:59
enough for someone to scratch it and02:27:00
then plops it back down02:27:02
yeah definitely squish the puppy behind02:27:05
his ears i would have i would have02:27:06
nicked a piece of meat from somewhere to02:27:07
feed him02:27:10
so um we02:27:14
we've learned that our compatriots have02:27:16
been here02:27:18
in july in july and the last time that02:27:22
our compatriots02:27:24
checked in was in october but02:27:27
that's a there's an awful long way02:27:28
between july and october02:27:31
so that would have been they they02:27:34
checked in through the uh02:27:35
the telegram so if we were to02:27:39
if we were to ask someone where they02:27:41
were last seen we'd want to go to that02:27:43
office02:27:45
that seems likely assuming they keep02:27:47
records of who sends telegrams out of02:27:49
the city02:27:50
or if they just remember them i mean if02:27:52
if they came in02:27:56
harried or uh out of sorts for any02:28:00
reason due to something that we don't02:28:01
know02:28:02
that that might have made the encounters02:28:04
stand out02:28:06
and if it wasn't even wrong02:28:09
they were here for they were here for a02:28:11
long time02:28:12
from july to october at least looking02:28:15
for this fella02:28:16
so the check-in didn't have a02:28:18
geographical location02:28:20
but it was sent from this telegraph02:28:24
uh but it it you know they could have02:28:27
like02:28:28
sent it here by runner or something like02:28:29
that but it was sent from the telegraph02:28:31
office here in town yeah they could have02:28:32
been staying out at a mining camp and02:28:34
come back to town or something right02:28:35
right02:28:36
somewhere within a day's travel of here02:28:38
probably02:28:39
now that we've been here is there02:28:41
anything in02:28:42
that sort of the information that we02:28:45
have that stands out that's different than02:28:47
just02:28:48
they came up here and haven't seen them02:28:54
not really i mean the the so the time02:28:56
frame is really kind of the weirdest02:28:58
is the biggest thing like where were02:28:59
they from02:29:01
july to october right02:29:05
we might want to check the the the assay02:29:07
office and see if they bought a02:29:09
claim anywhere we do02:29:13
we are we are been asked to go up to the02:29:16
uh silver mine do you think they might have02:29:18
gone up there02:29:19
i mean it's entirely possible so again02:29:22
the silver mine has only been a problem02:29:24
for about a week02:29:26
yeah but it's still it's okay02:29:30
we don't want to foster any ill will in02:29:33
this town02:29:36
and sorry but university buddies only go02:29:39
so far02:29:42
but look how far it didn't go to harvard02:29:47
no i did not go to harvard but i imagine02:29:50
that connection can only go so far02:29:52
if there's no results given and i put my02:29:54
feet up on the table and be like oh but02:29:56
it's a nice distance02:29:58
i'm not i'm not opposed to checking out02:30:00
this silver mine um02:30:02
i mean it seemed a little it seems02:30:04
dangerous02:30:06
but uh it'd be interesting to see what's02:30:08
going on up there02:30:12
we are getting involved in local02:30:14
politics aren't we02:30:16
[ __ ]02:30:20
i think we got involved in local02:30:21
politics the second we decided to stay02:30:23
at a hotel02:30:26
second we stepped foot in this town i02:30:29
don't know you've02:30:30
you know no one's tried the let's stay02:30:31
at both02:30:33
this this right here this is the problem02:30:36
with towns without law enforcement02:30:38
without real law enforcement02:30:41
how loud is that said not very i'm02:30:44
keeping it quiet02:30:46
so the lobby is is very empty there's02:30:49
not a whole lot going on here02:30:50
well and and we if we want to see statin02:30:54
i made sure that i02:30:57
gave the impression i'd like to work02:30:59
here so02:31:01
if we need to do that i have that02:31:04
well what do we want to know from statin02:31:08
why would we be seeking uh uh an02:31:10
audience with him for lack of a better02:31:12
term02:31:14
yeah but he knows everything about this02:31:17
town he might have heard02:31:19
about people who are missing or gone or02:31:21
different or something02:31:23
or if that's beneath them unless they02:31:25
did something to stand out and if that's02:31:28
the case that might not work in our02:31:30
favor to talk02:31:31
to him about that because then we'll02:31:33
link to people who stand out02:31:38
any information is good information at02:31:39
this point02:31:41
the more we have the better that's true02:31:45
but if we are given information in02:31:48
return02:31:49
it might not be so good02:31:52
oh but maybe if that uh elias comes with02:31:55
me02:31:56
we talk and he gets tries to get a a02:32:00
exclusive yeah interview with yeah02:32:05
we can double team him02:32:09
i don't think that's the phrase you want02:32:10
to use friend next episode title02:32:13
[Laughter]02:32:17
and that's not beaver fever02:32:24
oh02:32:28
so i mean you you know that stratton02:32:30
usually is almost always holding court02:32:32
at the elkhorn02:32:33
but during business hours does that mean02:32:35
from nine to five02:32:36
i mean who knows what business is ours02:32:38
ours for a saloon owner02:32:40
that's fair well i mean i'm not opposed02:32:43
to going and checking out the02:32:45
the the nightlife situation out here02:32:48
yeah i think you get a better02:32:49
sense for a boom town by seeing what it02:32:53
looks like after the sun goes down02:32:55
[Music]02:32:57
boom boom so i mean just looking when02:33:00
when like elias was looking out his02:33:02
window like this town is alive at night02:33:05
there are you know there are lanterns02:33:07
all over02:33:08
there are people in the streets there is02:33:11
drinking going on it is loud02:33:14
there is partying and carousing02:33:18
all right i think that i think we need02:33:20
to go and check it out and02:33:21
get some get uh02:33:26
have a dream come on you can say get02:33:28
some companionship is that what you're02:33:29
trying to say02:33:30
no get some information on02:33:37

oh maybe spin the ted luck next time02:33:52
that's that's good though i like that02:33:55
that's looking good02:33:58
yeah he comes down from his hotel room02:33:59

somewhat different02:34:05

seedier saloons uh the elkhorn which is02:34:40
where stratton is uh there are brothels of02:34:43
plenty02:34:45

place to be02:34:48
let's start why don't we see if we can't02:34:50
find the stratton fella02:34:52
because we've had we've held court with02:34:53
one of the02:34:55
of the powers that be in this town why02:34:57
don't we see if we can't find the other02:35:00
yeah he's good02:35:04
i'm getting some distance from this02:35:08
not i i completely understand i hate02:35:10
politics and i don't like playing02:35:12
politics but here we are02:35:15

uh do we want to take that back and have02:42:20
anybody uh spend inspiration02:42:22
you could use an inspiration to get off02:42:24
try and get a hard success all right02:42:25
sorry what was the role for i was trying02:42:27
to get everything back after my computer02:42:29
just locked up and shut down02:42:31
it was a spot hidden role okay i'll02:42:36
uh yeah it was a regular success02:42:40
you could spend luck i have 70 in it02:42:44
so it's up to you guys02:42:47
or i mean inspiration you've got right02:42:49
let's do it i02:42:50
have 80 in it dude02:42:55
please oh i rolled in 86 the first time02:42:58
[Laughter]02:43:00
all right this is this would be a hell02:43:01
of a02:43:04
fifty two fifty two i'm not gonna spend02:43:06
the luck all right02:43:08
uh do you want to inspire tia uh uh02:43:10
susannah she's gotta02:43:11
have one yeah yeah we've got plenty of02:43:13
it all right roll that again02:43:15
suzanne all right02:43:19
noise hard success all right uh02:43:22
so um uh the two things that you are02:43:25
gonna get02:43:26
are that um every like people are very02:43:29
aware that this is02:43:31
stratton's home base and that tends to02:43:33
police this place pretty well02:43:35
but they're still the four thugs um and02:43:37
you also02:43:38
see a a back room that's essentially02:43:42
curtained off02:43:43
that it's pretty clear that that's where02:43:44
stratton is02:43:46
okay so i'll glance over and nod at that02:43:49
and say02:43:50
i think that's where the fella we're02:43:52
looking for is now the question is how02:43:54
direct do we want to be about this02:43:59
i reckon any outsiders coming in are02:44:01
going to get some attention from him i02:44:03
think we get some drinks and find a02:44:05
table and02:44:07
enjoy the atmosphere i could i could ask02:44:09
if we could see him because i want to02:44:11
have a job02:44:12
he might want to do that02:44:17
we'll take the take the wii out of that02:44:22
but okay i mean if you if you want to02:44:23
make contact with them02:44:25
uh that's fine but i was going to to see02:44:28
if elias wanted to get a02:44:30
a scoop as it were is that what it is02:44:33
that's the word scoop yes indeed that's02:44:36
that's the word02:44:37
uh yeah you guys get uh uh you get02:44:41
drinks and you settle down and and jonesy02:44:43
you're gonna ask the bartender02:44:45
or yeah okay uh how can i help you ma'am02:44:50
i heard mr stratton was looking for a a02:44:54
blacksmith02:44:55
and uh i would like to be able to talk02:44:57
to him02:45:01
uh well well i see uh i will let mr mr02:45:04
stratton know02:45:05
uh and he he will like uh he'll hand you02:45:08
your drink and then he'll go and he'll02:45:09
like02:45:11
motion over one of the thugs and he'll02:45:12
like whisper in his ear and the thug02:45:14
goes back to that curtained off02:45:15
uh back room02:45:19
and about 10 minutes later uh02:45:22
the thug comes out and you know you guys02:45:25
are watching him02:45:26
surreptitiously and he looks at the02:45:29
bartender and the bartender points to02:45:30
jonesy02:45:32
uh and the thug will come up and he'll02:45:35
say oh ma'am uh mr stratton would like to02:45:38
