KOTN Actual Play Podcast 27: Shit Luck Ep: 28 "Grim Passage"
[Music] Hello and welcome to Knights of the Night Actual Play podcast. This world of darkness storyline shed luck. It was written and run by our storyteller Scott. [Music] And now, please enjoy chapter 10, scene two, titled "The Monster Within." [Music] This is chapter 10 of the World of Darkness story shed luck. I'm the storyteller Scott with us tonight from my right. My name is Tom and I play the character Jay. Also, sometimes for Jonathan. My name is Mike and I'm playing Michael Clay. I am Jim and I play Sister Katie O'Connor. My name is Bob, I play Chew Park. Where are we at now? What are we doing? We got Side Street Billy on the couch. He's doing the investigation of the crimes, you know. I don't know how long that takes, but I'm giving him something. Minute, if not. For a minute, several minutes. Yeah, I think it takes several minutes per roll. So go ahead and find that out. In the meantime, you walk back to the car. I get my car, get ropes, bring it back and tie up. Do you have duct tape and like-- Hell yeah, hypes in your car. Oh, hi. Hi. Just saying, why would you be driving around with ropes in your car? You are very interesting to work with. I have a sniper rifle and a shotgun and you question ropes. Just saying. What's that? Ten minutes per roll. Chew feels like he's going to be here a while. Yes, we-- Okay, that's probably-- Should we be here where this attack has occurred? Shouldn't we just like get this guy in the car and get the hell out of here? Someone get what you do. Do you realize our friend was in that blood cell drum and there might be clues there? Not only your friends, just if it matters or not, but a member of Team Chiron as well. You know, you're-- You're as much as this place and you know how kind of-- Your conspiracy. You might want to turn your-- As much as you can just bond about things like that. Yeah. As much as places have been compromised, it's still more protected than any other old place in the open that they've been attacking us. It's got to be in like-- At least it's got to stop them around if they keep something that's out of here. Sadly, she's got to be-- Obviously, you can't keep everything out, but-- The hospital's compromised. Your kind of those are-- Go on, almost, open points. I put a question about where will the boy-- I put my car in the driveway turn the engines off. Sure. I was a president and bombed the car yet. Wait a second. Wait. Don't give me any ideas. Bob, would you question again, please? Why was Sy Street Billy in such bad condition? Why was he in such bad condition? Why was he in the condition he was if it wasn't his own blood? He was all but passed out in the street. Yeah. Why did that happen? Because the house-- No idea. --kick this butt. The doctor has no idea. I had no idea. I was aerodynamic. We maybe went up there and exhausted himself and came back down the stairs and ran out in the street and nearly got hit by a car. Maybe he was tired of working people apart. All right. I'm tying him clearly while he's investing. I don't know how you want to work this. I have a forensics kit. I'm not sure what the bonus that we're providing it with. Today it's two. Two? Well, that's a good number. The first thing I want to figure out, if I can test for that, is the blood and the Sy Street Billy, if that is the same blood that we're finding here. Crime scene kit costs two to three dots, which you got from your government agency. Yes, two to dice rolls. Two to three. Oh, look at that. I'm prescient. And so that's the first thing. Chiu believes it's going to take him nearly at least a half hour to maybe as much as an hour to glean all the clues. Chiu, that's what you're thinking. As you look at this incredibly violent crime scene, you believe it's going to take you a while. This isn't some 10 minute walkthrough. And nor should it be because it was someone who you actually called a friend. Hey, Tom? Yes. Have you called this in to take yet? No, I haven't. And I have serious reservations about making any calls to Mr. Tate right now. Kept another conspiracy theory. He's going to get in trouble. Here's another conspiracy theory. Beamer gets bees in his ears while he's taking a nap and gets in, and then Billy sees a premonition of Beamer tacking us so he goes in and takes him out. Just a conspiracy theory. Oh, what if? He said the truth. If I'm not mistaken, Beamer had claws. That's true. He did. He could have killed the dog, this claws. And then killed himself. Beamer had what? Claws. And then claws. When we got into fighting the alley, he whipped out some claws and went all Wolverine. He definitely eviscerated one of the security guards that we're trying to-- the assailants in the alleyway, Mike. He has an implant from the Chiron group of werewolf claws. That retract from his hand when he attacks things. Doctor, are you busy right now? No, I'm just sitting here kind of freaked out that Beamer's dead and wondering why we're still-- Beamer's knocked out. Is this Beamer's hand? He had claws implanted by your people in it. Can't you tell from that? Where's the hand? What pieces of the claw are you in somewhere? In a crime scene. Could you like cut off-- Is it he in the crime scene? Well, he could move it? He said he had metal clawing. What am I done with it? Can I have a hand and make some rolls here? Yes, you may make your first roll of everyone's discusses the first 10 minutes. I don't have a metal claw in the room. Quietly, the doctor's adding up the stand in the hand. His hand's still here. There's got to be some way up in the cell. Can't you? You can be carcass soon to get a hand. I was. I was possibly from the wall. Well, Tom, or I'm sorry, Jay. I'm sure as part of our regular paperwork for our team siren, our blood types are probably known. So if we can get samples of the blood, we should be able to confirm whether that's, in fact, Beamer's blood or not. Doctors already taken samples from a number of places. And that'll take time. Under the claws, you know, et cetera. All right, we'll figure out what's going on here. I'm keeping a lookout outside. Can you maybe pump this dude full of a adrenaline or something and get him off you? What if he wakes up and he's the murderer? I don't want him away from it until I have figured out what has happened here. Because John has claws, and who knows what happened. I don't know. He's a good call. John had claws in one of his two hands. The hand that you examine-- You got it, you're kidding me. --does not have claws. I'm sorry, that's the way it is. That stinks all the way out here. Stinks out on the other coast. What's my other hand? What the other hand is missing? The other hand is-- Well, it's assumedly on his body. We know broken it like, where's the body? There's nobody. It got like a lot of machine. No, you're telling me there's enough gore in that room to account for a full grown man? Is there? There's enough blood in that room to account for a full grown man. One's different than body parts. No, there's not enough body parts. OK. You found hand without the retractable claws. You found a foot that is wearing a work boot that beamer war and you found a part of a scalp. And that's about it. So the body, per se, is missing. What you're able to find in this part of your investigation was that the hand was not bemurs. What? Whoa, what? The hand was not the hand you were looking for with the claws from bemurs. Oh, that's different. OK, love. Sorry. The hand wasn't the beamer hand that you were looking for. It's a better way to say it. The attacks that were done in this room were definitely done with serrated type blades. Like I said, you see different types of blood splatter. And usually what a blade will give you is a medium blood splatter. That's the speed and the angle of the blood on the wall. But you're seeing high velocity impact blood splatter, which is normally reserved for bullets. So it's very odd to you that you're seeing this high velocity. But you're not seeing any bullets or casings or any signs of there's no holes in the walls. There's no nothing. It seems like all the damage that was done in this room was done with some type of sharp blade or knife or claw. Or some very high speed and very powerful high speed. And sometimes at a moderate speed. And then there's low impact, which is just the blood dripping off of a scalp or off a hand that's been severed. And that's like a bloop bloop. So you've just got like a round blood splatter that drops onto the ground. So you see all types of blood splatter. But normally what high impact blood splatter means is a chainsaw or a rifle. Some kind of high impact, high speed thing. It's odd that you don't see any remnants of that here. And if there was a chainsaw, you would have saw bits of flesh on the wall. And anything that you see on the wall is-- I mean, there are some pieces of little organs and stuff like that. But it's not what a chainsaw would bring. Go ahead. Scott, where does everyone lose our seat once again? It was on Vine Court, which is off of 30 seconds, down a ways from the vitamin B corporation. So I guess my point is that is it a residential or-- Oh, absolutely residential. OK. Then maybe what we need to do is-- it sounds like whoever happened here would have caused a lot of noise. Maybe we could see if there's any 911 calls. Or maybe we need to canvas the main neighborhood and get some better information. We've been here a while. I think if the cops were called, he would have been here by now. I think we've been here 10 minutes because Choo's been investigating that line. Well, I thought we had a safe house, too. A brand new one. That's the one rat. That he's-- Yeah. It's only hours old, you know? And it's already been compromised. OK. Mike, you have computer ability. So if you want to follow up with that hack into the 911 system or do something else on that end, you're certainly welcome to it. But you've been at the house for about 15 minutes at this point. And we-- so far no one's arrived. I am concerned about waking up here. You're breaking up a little bit. I'm concerned about-- When the big public-- When Choo was attacked by the bee lady, she was talking about being part of a hive or a commune, right? Being part of a-- She said, too, that you should join us. So if Billy is part of them, and Billy wakes up here, they'd be able to kind of know that we're able to peer with Billy, assuming they're all connected in some way, shape, or form. So if we take him-- Where are we going to take him? They're not going to be able to do that. We would just compromise another location, right? It's by fault, too. They don't speak through psychic abilities. The bees actually communicate, I think. We saw that in the alleyway when we were attacked. They actually-- They buzzed to each other. Yeah, they buzzed to each other. They communicate through sound waves. And to be telepathically-- To be fair. Those were two guards that when you killed them or knocked them unconscious, bees flew out of them. Whereas Henry, when you tackled him, his body collapsed into a corpse. Two completely different reactions to being attacked. When the one guy died-- We believe one was being controlled by the other one was being animated by bees. He was only alive because of-- Right. And I just wanted to say that you can draw whatever conclusions you want. And I don't want us to stop you guys from drawing conclusions. But it's fair to say that there are definitely two distinct bee-like entities that you've met so far. And you don't know where Tammy from today falls on that, whether she's someone who would fall unconscious and the bee would come out of her, or whether she'd end up being some rotting corpse who would collapse once the bees. So what kind of-- Do they communicate the same way all the way around the entire hive, or are there different ways of communicating? In truth, I think it's better to communicate with them here. And if we obviously have to ditch this place already, he's compromised. And if he compromises it further, who cares? We've got ortho, we've got bug bombs, we've got-- Well, they're still-- But I don't think he's being controlled by the bees to tell you the truth. But I still want answers from him. Well, there's still some more things that I'd like to look into before we do that. Something bad might happen. You might not be able to get any more evidence from it. Wait, you think that we're going to inject adrenaline into a drug-addled werewolf that something bad's going to happen? It's the recipe for something bad happening. I think he's agreeing. Whoa, it was your idea. No, I agree. I agree. The finish up here is quickly as possible, because we don't know how much time we have, but we do it here. Go ahead and make another roll. All right, I will hurry. I will risk wolf powder. All right. I don't know how we do it. But Hardmeen wants to just take the fight to them for a change. Yeah, we should. I'm sure it's frustrating for-- If I had a plan-- Your group. A plan. We know what we are going to do there and why, instead of just let's bumble around and see what we find. 2, 3, 4, 5, 5. Chew told everyone to sit the hell down so they can get a better feel for the crime scene. Chew, what you're able to ascertain after this round of investigation is, you're able to tell that the person, whoever it was, entered from the front door, they were accosted by the dog first. They then killed the dog, continued on into John Beemer's room. It looked to you as if John was reaching for his phone or had fumbled his phone, maybe trying to get help, and had been attacked. You're not sure what happened to his body, but you're relatively certain that this is John. He was sliced and diced with weapons. The attack probably lasted less than 15 seconds. The blood here looks to be all John's. You're very much sure that, as of right the second, you don't see any mixture of blood or different patterns which would indicate that the assailant was hurt. The assailant then walked through the blood out into the hallway. There was definitely either-- there was a reason that there's heavier blood in the hallway. So either he was carrying some of John's body part, or her was carrying some of John's body parts, because there was definitely heavy leakage, like low impact splatter on the ground. It was carrying something. And then there was also footprints of boots that go through the hallway. And then they start to fade a little bit as you go into the living room. And they fade in completely now in the rain on the front porch. And-- The boot prints each sees. Yes. Do they match? It's the bottom of-- That's the last piece of his exceptional success. He got all the information you think-- now you think you have it all, Bob and Urchu. And the last piece of the puzzle is it looks like the boots are the boots that Side Street Billy is wearing. And I can't believe what on him is from John. You cannot tell that without the lab test. Actually, you-- Can I jump in here? Sure. Can you identify the approximate time of when all this went down? Like, was it six hours ago? Was it 12 hours ago? Well, I was actually talking to John not very long ago. He did press to talk to John right around 10 a.m. When you guys arrived here, it was that quarter after 11. It was maybe quarter after 10 when he talked in the last time. Yeah, but it's about an hour ago. So real quick, to follow up, the blood is on the bottom. There's blood on the bottom of Side Street Billy's shoes. There is splatter on Side Street Billy's clothes. You went up and gave him a close examination. And it looks like there is high, medium, and low impact blood splatter on his clothes. And it looks like because of the state of the congealment of the blood, giggly check rigor mortis because there's no body to check. For the most part. But the blood, it enters different phases as it ages. And it's definitely about an hour to two hours old. Given that information in Scott, if you remember last week, expanding the powers of my dagger to include a power called glimpse. Yes. I'm wondering unless we have what sounds like conclusive or circumstantial evidence, Dr. Lucius might know better than I. But if we want to, maybe I can use that dagger to glimpse the past and see what happened. That would be all right. I don't know why we wouldn't want you to do that. I mean, I can't think of yours or not to. Unless you talk with us. Other than I also don't have dice with me, but I'll trust you guys to roll for me. Or carry off sheet. That's all right, because we're going to call it right here. We're going to come back with Michael Clay's investigation into the past and the potential interrogation of Side Street Billy. So we will end it here. If John Beamer's body was dropped in the bushes as he ran by, we would have had a chance to roll the spot that we were all over the place. She was walking around the house. You would have at least received a roll for perception if there was a whole body sitting in the bushes. But there's one other thing that makes me-- and this is speculation of my part-- but it might be something like a transformation on John and Beamer's part where his old body kind of exploded apart while a new form emerged. And maybe that's why there's only all this blood, but there's no pieces parts, just maybe some extra. But that's just my account background and some other stuff. Right. No, it's a good explanation, but I would say that Chew Park has dismissed any possibility that there's enough skin and bodily organs to make up a person in that room. There's enough blood to make up a person's body, but there is not enough human tissue and organ and skin to explain what happened to John Beamer. Plus, the blood splatters indicate that he was damaged by sharp, fast moving weapons. From what you know, of course, there could be magic that could do something different, I think, because of Mike's angle in here. Well, I think that you're an implosion of a body with a distinctively different mark. Right. Probably all high impact blood spatter, the quick, fast blood spatter. Real quick, we'll have Michael last because you jumped in quick towards the end, Mike. But let's do just a very quick what we think we learned tonight. Those are always interesting and it was quite a lot of information that was given tonight between the two scenes, or at least seemingly a lot of things. No, just some of us were here for half the year. Yeah, that's true. And another role. You're in a different scene. Let's just go around the table and let's start with Bop, with a mouthful of pretzel that's perfect timing. What I learned? Yeah, just your basic-- what did you learn tonight either about the supernatural or about the storyline? Well, I learned that we're not safe anywhere we go. Yes, I think it pretty much finds us anywhere. It's kind of concerning. Yes. I also learned that there's-- I guess I never put this together before, that there's two different kinds of bees, like Scott mentioned, just the way that they can communicate. So that might be something to look into. But this whole thing, this whole weirwolf thing, I've never seen this coming. I'm not sure why Seistry Billie decided to do this. He seemed like he might be on our side at first. So I'm not sure what the reasoning is. Maybe John was infected or compromised and saw that in his vision and decided to take care of him or whatever. So I don't know, we'll just have more questions that need to be answered. No, no more questions. No. I'm going to reserve judgment on Seistry Billie and the whole John Beamer situation until we get back to the medical lab and get a little more information and talk to Billie and find out what happened as far as what went on at the hospital. Obviously, I was a little bit preoccupied so I didn't see the whole woman attacking me. But the bee intrusion is interesting because it goes to show that there's a biological, real reason why these things are passing from one thing to another. And we just have to figure out what the science behind it is. Science of a bee crawling in someone's ears and controlling them. Right. Good enough. Or driving them so insane that they reacted in-- Were we not just looking for John Beamer's claw hand? Right. That was installed by a real corporation, by a scientist somewhere. Sister Kate-- once again, it just bogged my mind on how much we don't know. We still don't know why they killed the velcro agents. What's going on? I want to know what the rock that's in the bee place and what bees have to do with anything in Ohio City. What are they hiding? Why are these trying to stop us from finding out? They're getting pretty pissed off at us and ozing into things, obviously. But it makes me crazy not knowing exactly why of what's going on. And if we at least have this is the bad guy, they're doing this bad thing for this reason, it would be cool. And the extent of what can they do with this bee stuff? How does it work? There's some way you want to answer questions, though. All right, and that takes us to time. I am seriously beginning to doubt we can trust anyone. I know the shoe is convinced that all of this trouble we're having is because the bees are everywhere and you can see everything. And I'm not sure that's the case. There is absolutely no link between any bee and this new safe house. And yet, somebody found us here quickly and took out John. I don't think it's a secret that Tony was in the hospital. And honestly, I don't have a problem with that being-- And the bee people could have went there and just waited for someone to get a loan. You got pulled off for surgery, so we got one guy in a room by himself now is the time. The biggest problem I have is with this new safe house and how quickly it was compromised. And so I'm thinking of just going entirely off the radar on both tape and jade. They don't know where we are from now on because nobody's safe. If they sent us in here because we're going to be a small group that's going to be safe and under the radar, we failed that. Are we waiting for any information on them? Like, any major information that we asked? You only got the first half last week. I don't even think Greg saw that, actually. What a bounty of information you missed the last time we played. The information that jade provided on the history of that building, where the site where vitamin B is located at. I don't know if it's only built on an Indian graveyard. Similar. Pretty darn close. There's that. And then also, all the information that you researched regarding Michael's be idle. Anyways, go ahead. Go ahead, Jack, your time. Basically, that's enough for me. Yes, I'm at the point where I don't know who I can trust. No, it sounds like the house is compromised. I'm still not 100% sure that the B company compromised it. It could have been-- I'll email you because it's-- It's really washed on the linen. They have an apprenticeship meeting up with John. And both of them once got claws, the other got claws. He freaked out an hallucination, and he fighting the blood gorg. He had nothing to do with the bees. Who knows? Yeah, you really don't know. And that leads us a mic to give him the floor a little bit here. Pretty much, I agree with Jay. I just think that, in a way, I almost want to feed what would ultimately be false information about our location or plans to do Jade to see if people react and try to trap us. Almost like a little canary trap there. Or just, like you said, go off the grid because I'm surprised that our safe house was compromised in literally a matter of hours. And the key person that was organizing that was Jade and Tate, or Jade and Tate, or I'm not sure where it was a combination they're up. Also, they seem to find us so part of me wants to take this-- take your direction and go directly to the vitamin B and start looking at the place there because, I don't know, we seem to be spending a lot of time trying to detect and investigate. But our deep clover, it's clearly blown. So maybe it's time to suit up, gun up, and go in. There's obviously something going on in there with the whole business. That's it. I'd love to get into where the rock gets and take a look around. Then again, I'm not a good guy. I'm so-- I'll write a book about it after and see if it worked or not. After you find an artifact there and walk away. Yeah. You just want to take the rock home and check it out. OK, well, I think we'll call it here. There was some interesting turns of events tonight as we head into the home stretch. Should be interesting to see how you guys play this out. Let me jump in here quickly and let you know that if you're just interested in listening to the story, you can stop now. But if you want to hear the players make some guesses on what's going on, please continue on. I normally do a route of supernatural. You don't want to do that, or I don't know. I don't know. But then mostly I was covered in the first round. I don't know. We can do supernatural. It's going to be quick, but you're still very early. We talk about if you learn anything new about the supernatural. The whole idea behind what you're investigating is supernatural stuff, not regular stuff. And if you learn something new about the enemy, you can get extra experience points by mentioning it during this point. Bob, did you learn anything new about the supernatural today? Yeah. You're up close in personal confrontation with Tammy Song. Yeah. Tammy, song. Whoa, werewolves, or whatever size for your ability are pretty powerful creatures. That's a good one. It seems lightweight, doesn't it? Yeah. And having that benediction, I mean, and seeing him for what he is was kind of an eye-opener. My character probably has never encountered anything of that nature before, so sure. It's pretty gruesome that it can do something like that. And I'm not sure where the body parts are or how they have gone missing. Maybe he devoured them or something. But, you know, all the evidence seems to point towards the size of your ability. Doing this. But I'm not sure what his motive is. OK. But maybe another supernatural effect there. Sure be. John was under control to be a corporation somehow. He was getting-- Fair enough. Supernatural thing I learned is that 4th of bug spray or rain can kill the supernatural bees when sprayed into the air. Oh, wait, now there's supernatural bees? I think this is being-- I am being deceased. Very good. Jim? Um, it's my guess that Science Street Billy's had his feralness for a while, and I learned that if so, not all wild, crazy monster people are all bad. Because Science Street Billy wasn't bad when we first back in the day when he used to knock on our back door and ask us, and his tests seemed to have tried to help us out or people out in the past, and that to get to have bees-- to try to get hurt by bees, they need to crawl into you somehow. Let's think, try to put a bee in your ear. So obviously, I don't think a bee sting is really going to do much. I might do something, but I think it's good to get something permanent. I think if they have to crawl into you, it's just kind of gross. And on a side note, I think Kate is convinced that if Science Street Billy walked out of here, alive, and John Beamer is dead, then Beamer must have been bad, and Science Street Billy's a great guy. Because the Lord wouldn't let that happen on the blessed ground any other way. Oh, OK. So you don't like to get some religion in there. Sir, dog was evil. The dog got killed by the evilness. Oh, by John. By John, not by Side Street Billy. Tom, what did you learn about Supernatural tonight? Actually, I think we still-- some of the things we knew before, that Benjamin was the one who used the stings, that's a different type of magic. He gets his power from the bees, but he doesn't use bees for the magic, as far as I've ever seen. So there's definitely still two camps. You've got the vitamin B people, which are different than Benjamin. There's a different type of-- can't forget the fact that Benjamin is definitely involved in here. I'm not going to-- sorry, I've got to inkling that. The vitamin B people are the living bee people. And Benjamin got one of them, killed one, and then re-animated, made them do it on dead B person. I'm not sure about that, because he was trying to take Henry out. He's the one who sent. Because he will bathe in after Henry. You lost control of him? Yeah. It's possibility. I don't know about it, but it stands mostly. Because the bee-controlled people are bee-controlled people. If she is, they have the two guys who are in the alley where they do what they're told, they're robots. Henry wasn't a robot. He was walking around like, what the hell's going on? Why am I having such a bad luck? He wasn't-- it seemed to me that he was being super controlled, so he doesn't seem like he was a regular drone. Yeah, but you didn't seem like a drone. Just, I don't want to give the impression. She wasn't like, you will join us. Oh, we weren't there. Yeah. Well, he was. She was whispered into his ear. And she was talking. I'm saying, she could. She wasn't buzzing-- I'm just speaking because I'm sure Chiu would speak up and say, well, she didn't seem like she was a robot. She was acting like, you know, come join us. And then what they don't know is-- The females are typically the queens or the bosses. If it's a male, they're usually drones or guards and they've encountered that. But if we're dealing with a female, it seems to be something where she's in charge or has authority or power. And based on what Chiu said, she controlled the bees and they did her bidding. And she seemed to be kind of diabolical, not a drone, so. That's true. That's good observation. I got a question for you, Scott. And when listening over to the podcast, I noticed that when you described Benjamin the big guy-- Yes. --that he had a high pitched queen voice. Is it kind of be like his voice? Kind of a buzzing, kind of an annoying be like sound to it or high buzzing sound to it? And I guess the impression was an old cackling. It was more maybe because he-- I wasn't trying to give that impression. I don't want-- because there's so many mysteries here. I don't want to confuse a mystery by playing something up. It was more he'd lived with them for so long. He was such a creature that enjoyed them. And plus he was a small stature. And he was a little bit kind of like almost sickly looking or just different looking. So it was just a voice I adopted for that moment, but not to make it seem like he was a bee or something that was more important. Now, he could very well be a bee, but that wasn't what I was going for when I was picking up that voice. I don't want him to mislead you. All right. And I believe, Mike, the time you-- are you done with your supernatural knowledge? Yeah, I'm on it last night. OK. Mike? I guess I really can't add to what everyone said. I don't have any particular disagreements. I just think that, you know, now with the werewolf faction or the angle here, it seems like we've got three enemies in the pot, two bees and one werewolf. So I guess I'm a little more confused and worried, more than ever, especially with the idea that either the supernatural has a-- they have some type of omniscience or some type of detection on this, or we've been compromised much for us than we know. So that's pretty much all I have. All right. And because of your character's background, Mike, I'm going to send you some stuff that you probably-- like from your character's point of view that we discussed earlier about what you know about the spirit world or things along those lines, that may come into play these last couple chapters, and your knowledge may eventually help tie some things together. You know, that you as a player don't know, but your character, having been tormented by spirits pretty much his entire life, would have some of this knowledge, along with your conspiracy or just Kai Dauru. You know, they would have a little bit of knowledge here, too, from books that you've read. So I'm going to give you a little bit of information, nothing earth-shattering or, you know, too revealing, but it definitely will be something that maybe will help put some pieces together as far as how these different factions interact or why you would see a werewolf with the B individuals. You know? OK. Or you might just learn that from Side Street Billy if you decide not to kill him. OK. So I guess we'll break. Mike, thanks for joining us, buddy. Well, sure thing. I'll see you guys when I get back. All right. Have a safe trip, buddy. Later, bud. [MUSIC PLAYING] Thanks for listening to the Knights of the Night Actual Play podcast.
