"Santo Berço" - Episódio 9 - O Segredo Na Floresta RPG

GM: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen welcome to another episode of The Secret in The Forest. Our Saturday RPG, where I am the whole world, I roleplay as the entire world, and all my friends: they are characters from this world, they have to deal with the problems I create for them, and solve the mysteries inside this universe that we are slowly building up together. So, without further ado, let's say hi to everyone. Ladies and gentlemen, how are we? Luba: Hello. We are really good. Rakin: Good morning. Gabi: Hello! Calango: Good morning. GM: I'm excited for today's

session.... GM: It's one that I've been waiting... (Luba: Yup.) ...for a long time. It's a- Rakin: We've already decided we're going into the city shooting everyone. Luba: Yeah. (Gabi: [Laughs].) GM: That's up to you, let's see. Luba: Just to be safe. GM: How are you in this Saturday, everything okay? How was your week? (Calango: It was fun.) Luba: We're good. We're good. I hope chat is doing well. The chats, right. Hello, chats. GM: True, true. (Gabi: Hello chats!) Luba: Focus on staying alive and roll an- hundr-... extreme [ahem]. GM: Always. GM: I would like to

thank everyone... (Calango: Rolling Extremes.) ...that's always on the hashtag, and always commenting, making theories along with the characters, going crazy with them. Because it's really rewarding to see, how everyone, uh, gets immersed in this story as much as we do. So, thank you very much, always, for your love. And I'm hyped, I'm excited, I'm ready for us to go, directly, into the world of The Secret in the Forest. Do you want to say anything else before we start? Luba: Uh… Chat is saying that I'm yellow, and I really am. It's the webcam, sorry. (Calango: This

here will be the dice, here,...) ...that will get an Extreme, when I shoot Holy Cradle's leader in the head. [Laughter] Guaxi: The leader! [Laughs] GM: So, I'll see you all right after our intro to see what is this Holy Cradle that you're talking about. I don't even know what it is. Let's go. (Guaxi: I don't know either wh-) [TSITF intro] Rakin: This name was very- GM: Very well... ...All of you... (Luba: Hi.) ...were... (Gabi: 'Sup.) ....sent, some days ago, to Carpazinha city, in Rio Grande do Sul, because a team from Ordo Veritatis, the organization you

work for, had been sent, around a month ago, and they disappeared. Investigating, you found out that not only them, but some other people of this town have been disappearing in the last few months. Investigating an abandoned house in the woods, you found a map that led to a cave in the middle of that same forest. After a long night of getting prepared, you had fun, talked, rested, and finally went to the place the map was pointing to. and you found something a bit unexpected, you found a town, hidden in the woods. You see yourselves standing

in front of this big wooden archway that reads "Holy Cradle". Gabi: Hold on, we're processing it. J: Guys, I thought it was a… cave? (T: Guys-) A: Yeah. Me too. (T: Guys...) Gabi: Everyone is shook. Guaxi: I mean, I spent, 10 minutes listening to Liz speak and now, I think I really didn't understand anything. Calango: How was, just to recap, the process of us getting here, we just walked for a while and ended up here? GM: You started to walk through the forest until you noticed that the trees were getting a bit twisted and weird.

You, at first, were walking through really thick woods but eventually, you found a trail that that got stronger and stronger, until the ground was well-made, like it was, almost a road, really, a dirt road. And the path was more obvious, with the trees, a bit deformed along this road, and the more you walked, the stronger the fog would get. Eventually the fog was so thick you barely could see each other, but further ahead you saw, turning right, an illuminated entrance, and possibly the end of this fog. When you got to that entrance, you saw yourselves

on a high point, looking at this town, with many people walking around, down there in the distance. With this center that has a strong mist, which looks like it's moving in spirals. Do we know how long we've been walking or we didn't even realize? (GM:You walked...) ...for around 20 minutes inside the forest. Calango: OK. A: Man, what if we missed the entrance? T: Dude, I don't think this looks like a normal town, guys. Ce: There, look over there! Calango: Then I point to the archway that's above us. GM: You point to the archway? Ce: “Holy

Cradle”. GM: When you look up and point to the archway, you see that on top of it, there's a black silhouette, kind of standing. (Guaxi: Aw man) Gabi: Why did you look- GM: When you point up, you see that silhouette, the arch is around 5 meters (16'4) tall. As soon as you point up and see this silhouette, it instantly, it's against the light, the sky is really bright, it's against the light, and it jumps [pshh] [tshuu] and it lands in front of you. I'll ask to all of you to roll Initiative, please. (Calango: Aw man...)

Guaxi: Damn, you're already gonna kill us. Calango: My ass! We just got here, man. Rakin: I'm already armed, okay, Popeye? Guaxi: I'm [laughs] I got 85 man. (Rakin: I got good.) Calango: It's Dexterity, right? GM: Yeah, Dexterity, yes. GM: Uh… Let's go. First,... (Gabi: I got 18, I got Good.) who got Extreme? No one, OK. GM: Who got Good? Gabi: Me. GM: Liz, OK. Rakin: Me too. GM: Liz and Thiago. Who has the biggest Dexterity? Rakin: She does. (Gabi: I have 75.) Rakin: It's her [laughs]. GM: So, first Liz then Thiago, right? Okay. Liz, Thiago...

Now, Regular? Guaxi: Me. (GM: Who has the biggest Dexterity?...) ...Cesar, then Arthur. (Calango: I do. Yeah.) Guaxi: You have more Dexterity than I do? Calango: I have 79. Guaxi: I have 85. GM: OK, Arthur and Cesar. (Calango: Dang, Arthur has way more.) GM: Cool, then it's Joui. Luba: Who failed, per usual. Guaxi: Started off well. GM: You see, when he lands and is not against the light anymore, you can see that he landed in front of you, kicking up some dirt, which gets on your faces. The person, with completely gray skin, his hair completely black,

and pointy ears. He wears simple clothes, white ones, with some brown leather parts and rolled up sleeves. When he stands to talk to you, you see that his eyes are entirely black and he has two black stripes going down from his eyes and curving on his cheeks; and another black stripe, going down from his lips to his chin. He's the first, let me put him here. Rakin: Jesus! Gabi: Holy shit! Gm: He stands up, looks up to you guys: ???: Welcome to Holy Cradle! GM: He stands up, and starts walking towards you, with a wide

smile on his face. Gabi: Do we recognize this voice? GM: No, you don't. Calango: Hold on, I'll take my gun out, man, I'm with my gun, I'll just take it out. Luba: I took my gun out too. Rakin: I also draw my gun and point to him. Gabi: I was already armed. (Rakin: I'm with my gun in my hand...) ...and aiming it at him. T: Dawg, yo, don't come close. ???: Heey! Calm down, calm down! T: What is this whole "Welcome to the Holy Cradle" thing? Dude, what are you doing there, man? ???: You guys

are in Holy Cradle! It's the name of the town, how did you- Hold on. You got to Holy Cradle, you guys arrived. I'm the Gatekeeper- Ce: Yeah, but how did we end up here? We walked through the woods and got here by mistake, how? Gk: Did yo- wait what? you tell me how you got here, no one goes to Holy Cradle by mistake! A: Sir, how did you jump from up there and didn't get hurt? Gk: Oh, practice, hehehe. T: Who are you and what's your name? (J: That's true. It's possible.) Gk: I told you

already, I'm The Gatekeeper. Who are you? How did you end up here?... (T: No one is called Gatekeeper, pal.) ...Someone told you to come here? J: Gatekeeper is not a name! T: Gatekeeper is not a name. That's right, Joui. Gk: Of course it is, what are on about? (J: Thanks, Thiago sensei.) My name is The Gatekeeper. No one told you to come here? How did you get here? Ce: We were walking through the woods, started to go through a foggy area, and got here. Calango: I'm still pointing my gun at him. Gk: But why were

you in the woods? J: Uh… Mr. Gatekeeper, excuse me, how do you know no one- (Gk: Yes? What's your name?!) J: I was asking a question, if you could, uh, answer it first. (Gk: Sorry! Sorry.) J: How do you know that no one sent us here? Gk: I'm asking if someone sent you here. That's what I asked! T: Why, how would that- Gk: No one finds Holy Cradle by mistake!... (L: Gatekeeper.) you came here for a reason. T: How do they find it, then? Gk: That's what I'm asking you! No one finds it by mistake.

(T: If you're the gatekeeper,...) you've seen more people arriving. Usually the people that get here, find it how? Gk: Because we bring them. T: Why? Gk: To live with us, what's… Who are you? Why are you… shouldn't be using these things here. L: You bring people here? (GM: He's staying back, because of your guns.) Rakin: I'm aiming, I'm aiming. GM: You notice that he's nervous, he was all happy, when you pointed the gun at him, he got nervous, he's like: Gk: You shouldn't be using those things here, what are you doing here? GM: Cesar, take

your hand away, please. T: I wanna know what you're doing here. GM: The hand. Oh, done. Gk: I live here. I live in Holy Cradle, it's my town. What are you doing here?! L: You said you bring people here? (T: Well, fuck.) Gk: To live here!... (Rakin: I put my fucking gun down, angrily.) ...But we don't kidnap anyone. (L: How come?) Gk: We ask if they wanna live here, they stay and move here. Who are you? How did you get here? Ce: So, here's the thing. My name is Cláudio, we found a drawing that was

showing a cave; so, we entered it and ended up here, that's what happened. Gk: A drawing? A: I am Thomas! Gk: Can I see this drawing? Ce: Uh… We left it behind, actually. We looked at it, and then we memorized it, and followed its instructions. Gk: Well I, I, anyway, if you wanna come into Holy Cradle, I have to take you guys to the Blacksmith. L: Uh… Mr. Gatekeeper?... (Ce: Blacksmith?) ...What happened to your skin and eyes? J: Ah! Liz-senpai, you don't go asking about other's skin like this (Gk: What are you talking about?) A:

Damn, you can't do that, Liz! GM: He looks, like, he checks himself. Gk: What about it? J: No one asks why people are gray. Ce: Uh, it's nothing, it's nothing, Gatekeeper. But what do you mean Blacksmith? Like, what's up with that? Gk: The Blacksmith, the town's leader. Ce: Why do we have to go to him? Gk: Because the Blacksmith knows about everyone that comes to Holy Cradle, he'll know how to answer stuff better than me, in fact, I'm here just to be the gatekeeper, to welcome people. Come with me. GM: He turns his back, kind

of checking if you let him turn around or not. L: I'll stand where I am, I won't move. Ce: Aw man, I… Guys I, I don't know if I want to... (T: Hey, Liz.) Gabi: I whisper: L: Guys, you remember the Crazy Old Man, from Virgulino's house? Ce: Yes, exactly! The Crazy Old Man. L: He had a paper that read "I'm the blacksmith". He ran away from here! From right here! T: Look, the best way to find answers is to pretend that we’re OK with all this; if anything happens, we shoot 'em dead. L: But

if we go to the Blacksmith, we'll be like them the Blacksmith must build people like this. GM: You're talking and the Gatekeeper starts yelling: Gk: I know you're finding this strange, everyone does the first time they come to Holy Cradle. Don't worry, you'll get used to it quickly. GM: And he starts walking backwards, waiting for you. (T: Getting used my ass, pal!) Gk: What was that? What? T: Nothing, I'm talking to my people here. (Ce: Talking to me.) Ce: Guy, guys, let's… we don't have any options, let's follow him. Look around, but take care, if

anything, we shoot 'em down. L: No, no. Wait. Gabi: I open my backpack and get my binoculars, that's there since session one, and haven't used it until now. Gabi: Uh… I want to try to look further ahead, like... observe the people walking around, their appearance, how they look. (GM: OK. What area do you wanna look at?...) When you look, you see that all of those people seem to have a grayish skin tone, some with a darker gray, some lighter. Everyone has completely black eyes, they are tall, short, chubby, skinny; have long hair, blonde hair, white

hair, black hair. People who seem to live in an usual city, but it all looks very old, and a bit medieval. You don't see any signs of electricity, there isn't any kind of streetlights, wiring. Everything is made out of wood and bricks. Gabi: Looking in the direction of the farm, where there's animals, GM: You look in that direction... (Gabi: Anything strange?) ... but the farm is a bit harder to see, because it's farther away comparing to the rest of the city, but it's still a small town. You see huge cows, way bigger than normal cows;

also, chicken that are a bit bigger; and many people working in plantations. uh… Huge pigs too, in this farm. Cows, like, three times bigger than normal, but their heads are still at a normal size. It's like they have huge body and a tiny head. Rakin: [laughs] Gabi: [laughs] Another question- (Ce: Hold on Mr. Gatekeeper, we're admiring the view.) Gabi: [laughs] One more question, the people, do they walk in like a zombie-like way? A bit crooked, or do they walk normally? (GM: The people are walking…) ...No, they look, most of them, actually, aren't really walking. you

see only a few people walking casually. Some people are working, and the biggest agglomeration of people, you see that most of them are going towards that grove, where there are many people already. There's a lot of people going that way. That grove with many tree stumps. Gabi: Uhuh. A: Mr. Gatekeeper, can I smoke here? (T: Uh guys...) Gk: What now- Of course! Feel free to! You're all welcome in Holy Cradle! Let's go! T: Hey, everyone. GM: He keeps walking. (T: Slow down, Gatekeeper.) Gabi: OK. I put my binoculars down. L: Guys, there's no electricity here.

There's nothing here. T: Dude, I've watched like 33 movies that have this vibe, that “The Village.” there are many movies like this. Yo, listen, stay sharp, we're not gonna sleep here today. We go in, chillin' stay chill, you know, alert, gun in hand, if anything happens, [pew pew], and run away. A: Guys, don't you think that Liz was right? That we kinda traveled in time, because this is looking like the past to me. L: Yeah, I don't know how far away we traveled in time, because, you see, Eva Van Gloss, she's a specialist in medieval

artifacts, and all of this has a medieval look. And another thing, in the letters they said that they were getting ready to stay completely away from technology, and this place doesn't have any electrical installations. So, they knew exactly what they were doing. (GM: The Gatekeeper sees that you're still,...) ...the Gatekeeper looks back, he sees that you're still reluctant to go, he says: Gk: You can ask any questions you have. I'm here, this is my job, to clear up any doubts you have about Holy Cradle. I know it might be a shock to many people in

the beginning; I thought you'd want to go straight to The Blacksmith, that would be able to explain better than me, but I'm here for that! GM: And he points to himself like this. Gk: [Ta-dah!] Guaxi: I get closer to Liz's ear and say: A: Maybe we could ask in what year we're in? Would that be weird? Gk: Guys? Gabi: I wanna take my phone out to check if there's a date, something. Ce: Guys, let's- Ce: Gatekeeper, just, let's go, come on. (GM: You grab your phone and it doesn't have data...) ...and it's showing the date

that it was before. GM: April 16th. Gabi: And what about time?... ...And time? GM: It's the time you arrived. You arrived... what time did I say you got there again? Sorry. Luba: It was around a bit before midday, I think. GM: Yes, I was going to say, it was like 11AM, yeah. Ce: Guys, let’s go, let’s follow him. L: Huh… Mr. Gatekeeper? Excuse me... Gk: Yes? Gk: I’m- yes? Gabi: I’m standing still. L: Mr. Gatekeeper, excuse me. This question might be kinda weird, but what day is it? Gk: April 16th. L: What… year? Gk: 2020,

what do you mean? A: Damn it. L: Huh… no, I was just kinda lost. I’m bad with dates. Gk: And now it’s 11… ...it’s about 11AM, isn’t it? L: How do you know it? By the Sun's position? (T: Dude, let’s just pretend-) Gk: What do you mean? Don’t you know what time is it? You’re holding cellphones, I’m seeing it! (A: [Haha]...) ...we’re joking, Gatekeeper! It’s just a joke, hah! Guys… T: Guys, let’s just go there and pretend- L: I’m not going with him, I’m not going! (Calango: I turn back and:) Ce: Let's go! A: Let’s

go, let’s go. Ce: But we need to! (J: I’ve got an idea, I’ve got an idea...) ...We take him hostage! Calango: I turn to Gatekeeper: Ce: Just one second! Calango: Then I turn to them again. GM: He’s still pointing to himself... ...in the same position as before. T: Dude, let’s go! (Gk: Whatever you want to ask,....) ...go ahead! J: Let’s take him hostage! For our safety. (L: What?!) A: No, are you out of your mind?! Dude, take his shotgun away from him, right now. J: I just- I just didn’t put my shotgun away because Liz

senpai was holding hers! Ce: Let’s follow him, then! (L: No I’m not!) J: Yes, you were! J: Okay, so I’ll put it away. Ugh, you’re all- damn! T: Hey, Mr. Gatekeeper, take us to that Blacksmith then. Ce: Let’s go, let’s go. (L: [High-pitched] No!) Gk: Sure, you are all welcome here... (A: Hey, Thiago, do you want a cigarette?) ...I’m sure you’ll love Holy Cradle, everyone does. GM: He starts to walk, he walks through the archway. Gk: That’s- by the way, that’s where I live, the Gatekeeper’s Tower. And it’s basically where I live, where I see

if new people are arriving. I saw you coming from far down there, that’s why I was waiting for you at the top of the archway. Ce: Guys? Gabi: I’m walking slowly. Guaxi: Me too. GM: He’s very expressive, he’s showing you a lot of things. (Guaxi: Wow. I- [chuckles].) Gk: There’s a smaller house here too, if you need to use the bathroom. Do you guys? A: I do, I need to pee, Mr. Gatekeeper. (Calango: Doesn't anyone...) ...want to move all the characters at once? GM: I can move them all. Yeah, I can. Put them on the

right order. (Guaxi: Organize the order, yeah, organize it, damn.) Calango: I’m here. (Gabi and Rakin: I’m a little behind them.) Rakin: Hey, my gun is in my pocket. But I’m holding it. GM: Okay. A: I need to pee! (Calango: My gun is-...) ...My gun is in my pocket, but I’m holding it. GM: OK, but you’re not holding it, right? Rakin: It's not in my hand. Gabi: No, I’m not. Calango: I’m holding it. GM: OK, uncheck that. GM: No, but, like, this is drawing your gun, you would have to draw it anyway to use it. Calango:

OK, so I’ll put it away. GM: OK, do that. Rakin: Technically, I’m fucked up. A: Mr. Gatekeeper, I have to pee. GM: OK, so you can uncheck the- Gk: Oh, you- go, feel free, you can go there. Guaxi: I look them, like this. Gk: We’ll wait for you, don’t worry!... (J: I can go with you, Arthur.) ...You arrived on a great day, actually you arrived on a Trial day, You’ll like it! A: Where’s the bathroom? Gk: Here, on this house, here. (Ce: Trial?) T: Hey, Gatekeeper, I forgot to ask, do you see a lot of

people arriving here? Gk: What is a lot of people? Nah. Actually, no one comes here alone,... (T: And leaving?) we always bring them, I told you, I don’t know how you found us, I’m still curious. Someone drew a map to Holy Cradle, you say? T: Oh, I don’t know, let us ask the questions, okay? Ce: But what- Trial? Today is a Trial day? How come? There's an event today? Gk: Yes, yes. The Trial festival!... ...You’ll like it! Gk, It’s a very festive day,... (Ce: What's that?) ...and we have a lot of fun! Ce: Hey, Big

T here likes to party, right? T: No, I don’t, not here. Ce: Me neither. (GM: Did Arthur go to the bathroom or not?) Guaxi: I went and got back. Calango: He did, and Joui went too. T: Mr. Gatekeeper, do a lot of people leave this place? (Luba: Yeah, we both did) Gk: What did you say? T: You said a lot of people come, do they leave after some time? Gk: No, no one leaves Holy Cradle, no one wants to. T: Ohh, you’re joking, you’re joking, bro. Gk: You’ll understand, you will- (L: Wait, so you’re saying

that whoever...) ...gets in, never leaves? Gk: Oh, you can if you want to, you can. But there’s no reason for it, you know? Holy Cradle is better than any other place. GM: He starts to walk again. T: Oh, damn. L: What brings people here? Gk: We do! L: But are there specific people who bring others here or anyone can bring them? GM: You’re walking while you talk, right? Just so I know. Gabi: Yep. Calango: Yes, we’re walking. Calango: Is Arthur still in the bathroom? Guaxi: Oh, no. While I was in the bathroom with Joui, I

just: A: Hey, Joui. J: Yes? A: Joui, I… ...have a bad feeling about this place. J: You're not alone, Arthur. A: I’m pretending like I’m okay, but I’m kinda scared. J: Ok, I’m scared too, but don’t worry, I- we will take care of you, okay? A: You don’t seem to be scared, you’re so relaxed. J: I’m not feeling a lot of things recently, actually. But I have a bad feeling about this place too, I’m just keeping my guard up. Relax, we’ll protect you. A: It’s okay, you don’t need to. (Calango: Arthur is shitting his pants.)

GM: Arthur, uncheck your gun, please. [Laughter] Guaxi: Of course, my handsome cute GM [kisses]. GM: OK, you come back and he keeps walking. You see this part you're walking down, it’s steeper. You pass by those little houses, they’re beautiful. There are some gardens, small ones, you know? It’s all well decorated. You see some people inside their houses, living their lives. While you’re walking, the Gatekeeper talks to you. Gk: Well, that’s a good question, it’s actually something a lot of people wonder, like, how do people come to Holy Cradle, when they arrive, the Ignarii- you, I

mean. Um... when they arrive, the Ignarii- you, I mean. Um... Well, we all have roles and we only look for new people when we need these roles to be filled, or else we just keep living our lives. T: You bring them, how? Gk: We invite them and they accept! T: What kind of invite, pal? I want to know, is it formal? GM: He stops... ...He abruptly stops. He looks at you, with a serious look on his face. Gk: Hi, do you want to live in Holy Cradle? Like this! T: No. Gk: Fine! Then, I would

look for another person. T: Just continue your tour, young man. Ce: This place is nice, Gatekeeper. GM: He keeps walking, and you start to pass by others. You see that all of them look like him, they all have those pointy ears, gray skin, and all of them seem really happy and excited, going towards this grove. And he starts- he comes here, and he points at the- (Calango: Can we see this place?) GM: Yeah. He points to this grove and he says: Gk: Look. That’s the Trial Grove, we’ll go there later. I’ll take you to the

Blacksmith first, just so you talk to him, then I’ll probably meet you there. L: Uh… why do we have to meet the Blacksmith first? Gk: Because he’s the city's leader, he needs to know about everything that happens in Holy Cradle. L: Uhuh. And have you ever had more than one Blacksmith? Gk: No, no, we only have one. Holy Cradle only has one Blacksmith. L: But was it always the same person? Gk: No, the city is- it has been around for a long time, the Blacksmith changes as time passes. L: How long has the city existed?

Gk: I don’t know, how long have we existed as human beings? I have no idea. Gk: We don’t record anything,... (Ce and A: How long have you been here?) ...we just live. A: How long have you been living here? Gk: I was born here. A: Which is…? How old are you? Gk: Well, actually I was brought here when I was 8, but I don’t remember much about my childhood. A: How old are you now? Gk: Twenty... three. T: Wha- what is that thing... on the right side, dude? (Gabi: Who’s the one closer to me?...) ...

Is it Joui? (GM: He’s taking you here...) ...It’s Joui. Luba: It’s me. Gabi: I grab his arm, so that he stays behind, and I can whisper to him. L: Joui! J: Yes? L: I think they don’t have memories from before Holy Cradle! He said he doesn't remember anything from before he was 8. Maybe when people come here their memories are erased, or something like that? J: Can be but maybe he just, he was just a kid and he doesn’t remember. I can’t remember much about my childhood either. GM: He stops and looks at you. Gk:

No, I remember! I remember, I do. GM: You were whispering, but he heard you. Gk: I remember things about my childhood, I remember playing with my friends, I remember the lady who brought me here, she was a pilgrim. (Ce: What are you talking about?) L: You have a great hearing, don’t you? Gk: You said it loudly. GM: And he keeps walking, you're almost there... (A: Who’s the girl who brought you?) ...You get near this house, that's more decorated, it has some iron structures, and there’s this guy wearing heavy armor in front of it. He has

a really heavy armor, he’s very strong, And there’s this giant purple hand above him. Calango: Thanos’ hand. GM: [chuckles] Your hand, Cesar!... (Calango: My bad.) ...He’s very strong, he has a darker gray skin, let me get it, here. He has a darker gray skin, he has three- he has one stripe down his nose and two other on both sides. His face is chubby, but he’s very muscular. Gatekeeper passes by him and says: Gk: Hiya, Mr. Guard! Aren’t you going to the Grove? GM: And the Guard: Guard: Hm. I’ll go later. GM: And he stares at

you guys. Guard: Who are they? Gk: Oh, those are some ignarii that suddenly showed up, I’m going to the forge now, because I’m confused too. Ce: Wait, we’re what? Gk: Ignarii! People who are not from Holy Cradle. C: Ig… ig… ig-what? Igna… Sorry, I didn’t understand. Ignarii. (GM: The Guard looks at you,...) frowning, and he says: Guard: Hm. Welcome to Holy Cradle. GM: He smiles. C:e Thanks, Mr. Guard. GM: So you see that house with a different roof. It seems to be very old, compared to the others you saw on the way. On the outside,

there are some tools, a big bucket with- no, not a bucket, like, a big square stone bowl, with some metals in it. And there's a big wooden door in front of some stairs. GM: The Gatekeeper- (Calango: We can see-) GM: Yes? Go ahead. Calango: I asked if we can see this, if it’s just a mist that is dense as fuck. (GM: OK, yes...) ...Looking ahead you can see, kind of, you know those hedge mazes? Those grass gardens, those mazes of... Calango: Like in Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire? GM: Yes, yeah, like those hedges,

but round, those tall bushes, you know? And there’s an entrance, and inside there’s just a dense mist. You can't see anything inside it, it's just a circle of grass, of- of tall grass, hedges. And inside there's just mist. GM: He goes there, he knocks, opens the door and gets in. Inside, there is a counter, and the Gatekeeper walks inside this house with the Guard next to. Do you go with him? (T: Mr. Gatekeeper...) L: I won't go in. I'll stay outside. T: Let me ask you something. (Ce: I go in.) Rakin: I get in and

want to ask him something. GM: The Gatekeeper sees that you hesitate in entering, he… Gk: You may enter, this is the Blacksmith's house. Ce: Yeah, guys. That’s the Blacksmith’s house. T: I’m fine, before getting in, what’s that… That beautiful garden there, that area filled with plants and mist? GM: He… He looks back. Gk: Oh, that… Sorry. That’s the Endless Maze. T: What do you mean Endless Maze? What… What’s that? GM: He puts his head out. Gk: It’s one of the biggest mysteries from Holy Cradle. While we're young we keep running, playing in there, trying to

get in, but… It’s just the Endless Maze, if you want to enter to take a look after, you can, it’s really fun the first time you go. T: So you went there already? Gk: Of course, everyone did. T: Then why is it a mystery if everyone went there? Gk: Because no one knows how to get to the center. T: Ah… Ce: People get lost in the way, is that it, Gatekeeper? Gk: Kind of, uh… I don’t wanna ruin the surprise, but… It’s better if you go, but if you don’t want to, I can tell. A:

Tell us, then. Gk: It’s a weird place... (Ce: You can tell, my knee is pretty fucked up…) Gk: It's never the same. It always changes and it doesn't matter where you go, if you leave, you are at the entrance. Ce: Got it. Gk: There is the tale of the guardians and stuff, but I’ll leave that to the Blacksmith to say. About that… GM: He points at the door. Ce: C’mon, c’mon. Calango: I get in. GM: OK, all of you are in the forge. (Guaxi: I see Cesar entering and I follow.) GM: And you see this

environment... It's just like what you’d think about a medieval forge. On the corner, there’s a kind of fireplace, with... some orange blazing embers. Let me just load the map for you. You see that behind the counter, there’s someone squatted, and there’re axes, swords, shields, items and tools everywhere. Behind the counter, you see that there’s a guy organizing stuff. He’s pulling out some tools, still leaning down, he didn’t even see you enter, he’s just… searching things… And the Gatekeeper; Gk: Hey, Helper, where’s the Blacksmith? GM: He’s really focused, and suddenly… Helper: Hey, what’s up? Calango: No!

Hell no! Hel: Hey, look at that. Calango: I can't believe it, you bastard! Hel: Who? Calango: Sorry, I didn’t say that. Gk: Hey, we got brand new ignari in town, Helper! Where’s the Blacksmith? He isn't here? Hel: Look at that, ignari. I can call him, do you want me to? Gk: Yeah, yeah. I just came here to bring them. They asked a lot of questions, but I think it’s better for them to talk straight to the Blacksmith, right? He knows more than me. Hel: Sure. Hey, Blacksmith! Hey! GM: You see than this guy that has

this gray skin, the short hair to the side, a beard that goes from the chin down, He has a… a line that goes to both sides, his eyes are completely black, he has a brown apron, his arms are very brawny, really beefy. He too is covered with calluses and some burn scars on his arm, probably from him blacksmithing job. When he says that, he yells, you hear coming from the door at his side. [stomps] Blacksmith: [in a deep voice] Hold on. GM: Then you hear some noise of falling metal coming from inside and other stuff.

Suddenly the door opens [door creaking], and you see a gigantic hand, putting it on the wall, kind of squeezing himself to get out. You see the biggest person you’ve ever seen in your lives. It’s a huge man with a long white beard, with his arms covered with marks from… calluses and burn scars from his blacksmith job, he has a huge and heavy armor. His eyes are completely black. And he has a hammer and a piece of metal in his hands. He comes out from this little door, he raises himself. Bs: Huh. Hello, welcome to Holy

Cradle. (Hel: Hey, Blacksmith.) Bs: Hey, Helper. Uh… Gatekeeper? GM: The Gatekeeper gets in front of the counter. Gk: I don’t know what’s going on, they arrived at Holy Cradle on their own, apparently, that’s not… Bs: Uh, but, how does anyone arrive at Holy Cradle on their own? Who are you? Ce: I’m the Programer. T: I’m the Hitman. (Ce: That’s the Gymnast, that’s the Reporter.) A: I’m the Guitarist. J: Pleasure to meet you, Sir Blacksmith. (Bs: You can say, I know you have names.) You’re not from Holy Cradle, you don’t need to use your titles… yet.

J: My name is Joui. (A: My name really is the Guitarrist.) T: Guys… GM: He has a serious gaze... (T: You’re big, huh, Sir?) GM: Really penetrating. He puts his tools on the counter, some of them fall down, he doesn’t even pay attention. He starts to go around the counter, he passes by the Helper, puts his hand on his shoulder, he comes [heavy steps]. He’s like 2 meters and 20 tall, he’s really much bigger than any person you’ve ever seen, and his presence is intimidating. He’s a... He’s a really big and strong man. Gabi: I

wanna take a few steps back and come closer to the door. Guaxi: I’m here, look. Bs: How exactly did you arrive in Holy Cradle? GM: The Gatekeeper looks at him. Gk: They… said that they were walking… They had some type of map, Blacksmith, I don’t know. Bs: Map? Someone made a map to Holy Cradle? Ce: Yeah, apparently. We found a drawing, followed it and we ended up here. Bs: Where did you find this drawing? Ce: Uh, in… In a house. Bs: What house? (Ce: [Stuttering] Is that-) Let me explain, Mr. Blacksmith. We make documentaries in

our city, I don’t know exactly how far away it is from here, but we make documentaries about haunted places and we visited this house… GM: Fast Talk. (Ce: And there was…) Calango: Uh… How many do I have on Fast Talk? I guess that I have a lot, bro. Yeah. I failed, of course. GM: Go on. Ce: And we found this drawing at that place, we followed it and here we are. Bs: May I see this drawing? Ce: So, actually we left the drawing there. We saw it, saw the instructions and followed them. We left the

drawing there. Bs: There’s no reason to lie in Holy Cradle. T: Let me ask you, Mr. Blacksmith. Is this a pacific place? All quiet here? Bs: Of course, everyone is welcome in Holy Cradle. That’s why I said you don’t need to lie. T: So why are there swords in here? Bs: We got… a few other things here in Holy Cradle too. T: What are those things? Bs: What? T: What are those things, just out of curiosity. Bs: What things? T: Uh… You got swords here in a place that is so nice, so there’s no reason

to have swords, armor and these things. Bs: During night… During the night, some creatures might show up, but we… We’re used to it, we’re protected. It’s a way from the village to protect us, too. (L: What kind of creatures?) Ce: Is that right? Gabi: Liz was quiet at the corner, didn’t even introduce herself. She was at the wall and when he mentions the creatures... GM: The Gatekeeper sees that you’re talking, he sees Liz departing, he… Gk: Well, That’s the Gatekeeper. Anything happens, I’m at the Gatekeeper’s Tower, you know where it is. Gatekeeper, I’ll leave you…

Bye! A: Gatekeeper? You’re the Gatekeeper! Gk: I’m the Gatekeeper, I stay at the Gatekeeper’s tower. Bye, Helper! A: But you said he’s the Gatekeeper. Gk: Hey, will you go to the Trial Grove after? Helper: I sure will. Gk: Yeah, c’mon! (Hel: Let’s go!) Gk: I’ll see you there, then. GM: He passes by you, waving goodbye. Gk: You’ll love Holy Cradle, I’ll see you soon. GM: He leaves the forge. Ce: I’m really confused, man. Bs: I’m really confused. (L: Blacksmith?) Bs: How did you get to Holy Cradle? Where is this house at? Ce: It’s from our

city, even we don’t know exactly which house it is. But how come creatures appear at night? I don’t know if I wanna stay in a place where creatures appear. What kind of creatures are there? Bs: It could be any kind, but you… maybe you should worry. Hel: I saw a rat once. Ce: A rat? (Hel: Yeah, there was a rat once.) Bs: Yeah, not exactly just a rat, right, Helper? Hel: No, no, but there was a rat once, but there’s worse. L: Uh… J: Were there a spider too? Bs: Uh... It might . We never

know exactly what might show up. Hel: Yeah, any kind can show up. Bs: Holy Cradle always reserves the most surprising secrets. Ce: Understood. So, Mr. Blacksmith… (Bs: But the thing is...) I don’t wanna scare you off, I know you may... be having some kind of an information overdose, but I need to know how and why you came here. It’s my job as the Blacksmith. (T: Look...) Bs: I can’t simply let unknown people roaming around my village. T: Dude, we just went looking for a cave and ended up here instead of finding a cave. Just like

that, there’s no… Bs: Looking for a cave? T: Yeah. Bs: Why were you looking for a cave? A: To explore. Hi, I- [stammers] I’m from the town… They came to visit and… They found the drawing of a cave… (Bs: So you’re from Carpazinha?!) A: Yes. And then we decided to... explore and search for this cave, but we ended up here. J: Guys, I don’t think we need to lie. T: But we’re not lying. (GM: He looks...) He looks like... Bs: Listen to your friend, there’s no need to lie in Holy Cradle. Ce: The thing is,

Mr. Blacksmith… A: We were looking for a cave and we ended up here, that’s true. Bs: Why were you looking for a cave? (J: Mr. Blacksmith, we…) J: We were... Ce: We had a… You can say. J: After some missing people and all the clues led us to this place, that we thought we’d find a cave, but we ended up finding a village. Ce: That’s right. (Bs: You were after missing people?) J: Yes. Bs: Who, exactly? J: There are people missing from Carpazinha for a while now. Bs: Well... I think that I can explain. Come

with me! GM: He goes. [heavy steps] He passes by you, he ducks a bit through the door and leaves the forge. Guaxi: I look at Joui and say; A: After you. Bs: Helper, do you wanna come too? Present the village to the ignari. Hel: Sure! Really cool. Bs: You can finish what you’re doing later. Hel: OK, sure. Thanks. GM: So you see the Helper, he goes around the counter, Uh… You entered already Felps, nice. You can move your character with your mouse. Felps: Uh... GM: OK, do the following. I forgot to give you the instructions.

Right click, and in the first option you'll choose Top Down. Guaxi: Top Down. GM: On the map. (Luba: Hi, Little Felps.) Felps: It doesn’t work, I right click and nothing happens. Guaxi: Ignored. GM: Anywhere on the map. Calango: He has to choose a color. Gabi: You have to choose a color. (GM: Yeah, choose a color.) GM: Choose yellow. Guaxi: Dummy guy. GM: Pink works. Right click. Calango: You can change yourself, Cellbit. GM: Can I? OK. Felps: Top Down, okay. Luba: As we’re out of the characters, I wanna say “hi” to Little Felps, what’s up? I’m

happily surprised. Felps: Hey! GM: Perfect. Now you can move your character and everything. OK, so you’re all… The Blacksmith leaves the forge, and you go back to Holy Cradle. I’ll ask you to… I’ll leave you all persistent because you can go back to the village, let me load it. Calango: Can you lower the music’s volume a bit? GM: Yes, sir. Calango: It’s kinda high… It might be me. (GM: Put yourselves into...) Actually, no need to. Guaxi: Damn, we’re really big. GM: Wait, you’re gigantic, let me just change the map for the new one. Rakin: Holy

shit. Gabi: The Blacksmith took down three houses with his stomp. GM: Hold on. Luba: Shingeki no Kyojin. GM: That’s good. You’re here. Felps: I gotta get used to how the hands work, but I will. GM: The Blacksmith is gigantic, wait. Felps: Damn! Guaxi: Just don’t leave him above. Calango: Wow, he’s bigger than I thought. Gabi: He’s really big. Gaxi: He’s this tall. GM: I’m working on it. The Blacksmith isn’t that big, he’s big, but not like that. You left here, and you are already bigger that you’d be on the map, you’re just big to represent

where you are. Guaxi: Yes. Felps: Yeah. GM: But you, tecnichally… You’d be like this. Rakin: Why me? Calango: OK. GM: You’re small like this. You’re just big to show on the map. J: What happened to Thiago?! Guaxi: The Helper is missing too. GM: Yeah, I’m putting him here. Felps: I’m still leaving. GM: Here. Felps: Shit! Guaxi: [laughs] GM: You all leave the forge and the Blacksmith turns to the Guard. BS: Hey, Guard. You can go to the grove too, we’re just finishing here, I’ll just present the village to the ignari. GM: The Guard is like;

Guard: OK, Blacksmith. GM: And he goes to the left and starts to go towards the grove. But he goes faster than you. (L: Uh, Blacksmith?) Bs: How can I help? What are your names, for starters? L: Uh... You can call me Liz. Hel: Hi, Liz! J: I’m Joui. L: Hi. Bs: Liz, Joui, okay, sorry. My memory isn’t how it used to be. Liz, Joui… Ce: Cesar. GM: He point at… Hel: Cesar. Bs: Cesar… Bs: You, bearded man. GM: He points at Arthur. Guaxi: I realize everyone is saying their names and I: A: Arthur. Hel: Arthur.

Bs: And... T: Thiago. Hel: Thiago. Bs: Okay, maybe I'll mistake your names in the beginning, but know that you're welcome in Holy Cradle. You'll find something to do here in the village. (Hel: For sure.) L: Uh… Blacksmith? Why do you call foreigners “ignari”? Bs: Because it’s that what you are, you're ignari. When you become a member... (L: But what's the meaning?) BS: It means you're not from here. GM: He starts walking slowly towards where the Guard had gone and you see that there are many more people walking to where the Guard went… Towards the grove.

Down here, The Guard is going there. Bs: Ignari is what we call foreigners in Holy Cradle. Luba: Sorry. (Rakin: What did you say?) Luba: I said that I'm in front of everyone. GM: Okay. Guaxi: So get yourself here. GM: He leads you... I think that any of you can go... Where you are now is not important, just the direction. Luba: Oh, okay. GM: He leads you… He leads you and… Bs: But when you become a true member of Holy Cradle, you find your occupation, you get a house, and then you can do the Trial and

finally become a lusidius. T: What kind or trial is this, bro? (L: What?) Hel: I'm a lusidius! L: Lusidius? What does exactly a lusidius do? (T: What's lusidius?) Hel: It’s the people from the village. (Bs: Well, it depends. Exactly...) I'm The Blacksmith. The Helper is The Blacksmith's Helper. (L: But only after the Trial.) Bs: He helps me, that's what he does. J: Got it. Bs: I know that you must have a lot of questions, but there's no need to be shy, you can ask. But I'm just curious about who exactly were you looking for to

get here and how did you find this map to Holy Cradle. T: [stammering] Aside from the map, just one more question, bro. Uh... You said you could explain the missing people from Carpazinha, what's your relationship with Carpazinha, man? Bs: It’s the nearest town. T: Fair enough. (Bs: Many times when we need to find someone...) We go to Carpazinha ask around. Ce: You go there? Bs: Not just to Carpazinha, but also to Poço Fundo, any nearby town around in the region. Ce: Do you go by foot? Bs: It’s not that far. L: If you went to

Carpazinha already, you know life’s different there, so why would you live in a place without electricity or anything? Bs: There’s no reason to live with those... Aberrations when we can live in Holy Cradle. Everything is better here. Hel: Here is great, it's the only place with buttery butter! It’s my favorite, really good. Bs: True that. It’s the tavern’s specialty. We’ll go there later, are you hungry? T: I don’t wanna eat, thank you. Ce: We ate a llonguet before we came here. T: Yeah, and I don’t wanna drink either, I’m fine. GM: So he starts to

go towards this grove,. And you finally arrive at this grove that has lots of people, you see many people. Let me put you in the grove. Here. You arrive at the grove and you see some folks chatting, laughing, some dancing, others singing, some holding beer cups. Then the Blacksmith points... Bs: Welcome to the Trial Grove. GM: And you see this Grove that has many logs, all of them roughly the same height and the same tree kind, they have a specific distance between them, kind of. It’s not just these, this isn't the exact number, it’s just

a physical representation… Visual, obviously, there are more logs than this. You see that everyone is kind of... (Ce: Here at the back?) GM: Yeah, everyone is partying, chatting, kinda spread out. Bs: Actually, you arrived on a good day, you arrived just in the Collector’s trial party. Ce: Collector? (A: Collector is… Is the Collector the one...) Who brings people from Carpazinha? Bs: No, no no. That’s a Pilgrim, the Collector is the seed collector, he helps the Farmer, I'll take you to him. (Ce: Is he new here too? OK.) GM: He starts to pass by and everyone:

???: Hey, Blacksmith! GM: They all look, each time you pass by someone,... they keep looking at you like... ???: Welcome to Holy Cradle! ???: Welcome to Holy Cradle! ???: Welcome to Holy Cradle! J: Thanks, thanks. People here are cool?! (GM: Some people turn to the Helper:) ???: Helper, I didn’t know you went on a pilgrimage. Did you bring them? Hel: No, no, no, no, I was just peacefully working and the Gatekeeper brought them. ???: Ah, the Gatekeeper went on another pilgrimage? Hel: No, they arrived out of nowhere, I don’t know. L: Other pilgrimage... (GM: You

see this short bald dude.) ???: How come? How does someone arrive at Holy Cradle out of nowhere? It doesn’t make sense. Hel: I don’t know... I’m just as curious as you, that’s why I’m going with them, to… I don’t know, learn more about it. (???: Did they just arrive or are they here for a while now?) Sometimes we don’t know. (Hel: No, they just arrived.) ???: What’s that, Blacksmith? Bs: I’m trying to understand too... Well, come here. GM: He starts to pass by all the people and you see that there's a crowding around a specific

person that you can't see clearly. You can move yourselves because if I do it it'll be a chaos. You pass by the crowding, and there’s a lot of people around a specific guy. He’s young and thin, he has his back to you, the hair is short and light brown, he has greyish skin, he is very happy, dancing, and when he turns to you, and look at you, you recognize him as Murilo. (Calango: It’s Murilo...) GM: You met at the hotel. But he has greyish skin. (Calango: I knew it.) GM: Pointy ears and black eyes as

well. He passes by you… Collector: Hey! Wait… L: Murilo?! (J: Murilo?!) Ce: Hey? Murilo? Collector: Do I know you? L: Ah, yes, we know each other. Collector: My name isn’t… Ah, you, ah, you’re from Carpazinha, I remember you, you stayed at the hotel I used to work. Ce: Yes... Collector: Welcome to Holy Cradle! You arrived right on my Trial. J: What are you doing here? There are people worried about you. Bs: Do you know The Collector? L: Yeah, Murilo. Bs: Uh, was that his name before Holy Cradle? Ce: Murilo, right… L: Why can’t he have

the same name, Blacksmith? (GM: He happily gets to you.) Collector: I can’t believe you came too, who brought you? Was it The Gatekeeper too? A: The Gatekeeper brought you? Collector: Yes. L: But did you know him before? Collector: No… But I’m really happy he brought me here. Oh, that's so cool, you'll love Holy Cradle. But, well... I’m happy you came, but I’m sad, because you arrived right on my Trial, so I'll have...I'll have to go a while without seeing you. L: But wait, Murilo, what about Jéssica? You just left her there? Collector: Jéssica? Ah… Ah...!

There are more important things, right? Maybe some time... (L: What about your family?!) Collector: Holy Cradle is my family, what are you talking about?! Ce: I met your grandpa at the xerox store. Collector: Is he okay? Ce: Yes, he's fine, he's worried about you. (Collector: Nice, nice...) I guess we gotta follow our own paths in life, you can't stagnate. A: Yeah, but you could've warned him, huh? (Collector: I like Holy Cradle, it makes me happy.) A: So warn your family you're happy. Collector: Why? Does it make a difference? Why would I leave Holy Cradle just

to warn them and not make a difference at all? A: But at least it'd leave them less worried, right? Collector: Why would they be worried about me? I didn't die. A: But you went missing. (J: But they don't know if you died, Murilo...) ...Or not. (L: That you didn't die.) J: That you didn’t die. (Collector: But the only person I got is my grandpa and...) He never worried about me anyway, what difference does it make? I’m happy here, I don't need to leave Holy Cradle, And that's good you came, too! (J: It makes a lot

of difference!) He's your family. Collector: Holy Cradle is my family now. Gabi: I want to pull Joui by his arm again, avail his closeness to me. L: Joui… J: Yes? (L: See if you can find someone from Team Kelvin...) look closely and see if you find anyone. (GM: You see…) You see The Blacksmith walking towards Murilo. Bs: Congratulations on your trial, it’ll be… It’ll be hard, but when you come back, it'll all be worth it. Collector: Ah, thanks. (A: What is the trial?) Ce: But come back from where? Calango: Did I hear that? GM: They’re

talking between themselves, he and The Collector. Collector: Ah, thanks, Blacksmith, thanks, coming from you… A: What is this trial, Blacksmith? Ce: Yeah, you said you’d be out some days, Murilo. Bs: The Trial is the gateway, it’s the growth in Holy Cradle, it’s when you stop being an ignarus… GM: He points at you. Bs: And become a lusidius! GM: He points to everyone around him. Ce: And how’s that, this process? Bs: Uh... It’s both simple and complex at the same time, I think you’ll like to watch it. It’s a party. This party lasts all day long.

Ce: But… Uh… (GM: Then, the Collector gets excited.) Collector: OK, I’ll explain. Do you see all these trees here? They all represent each one of us, one of the lusidii, I mean, I’m not one yet, but I like to consider myself one. I’ll plant my own tree, and then I’ll have to leave Holy Cradle for 3 years. But 3 years from now I come back, chop down my own tree and finally I’ll be part of the village! T: Where will you go for 3 years? Collector: I don’t know yet. Maybe I’ll go warn my family,

as you said. A: Where will he go, Blacksmith? Bs: Wherever he wants. He’s free, everyone is free. If anyone wants to leave Holy Cradle, they can, at all times. Right, Helper? (Helper: You'll only buttery butter here!) Bs: We have buttery butter. Luba: Master, can I roll Finding? (Ce: But you leave through…) Luba: To see if I see someone from Team Kelvin? (GM: Yes, you can roll, please.) Luba: No, I failed. (Guaxi: "I failed", obviously.) [Gabi laughs] GM: You start to look around and you see many people from many different ages, you see people wearing medieval

clothes, some people... Looks like they’re wearing costumes… Not costumes… They are with farmer clothes, some with dirtier clothes, another with mining ones, but you don’t find anyone that reminds you of... that Team Kelvin picture. Rakin: I want to look for who recognizes us. For people who look weird at us. GM: Everyone is looking at you at all times because you’re new, everyone is looking at you. Every time you get near someone, they say: “Ah, welcome to Holy Cradle, welcome to Holy Cradle!”. Ce: Everyone... Calango: I say to the Blacksmith. Ce: Hey, Mr. Blacksmith, everyone has

to pass by this process of staying 3 years out and then come back? Bs: To become a member of Holy Cradle? Yes, yes. but… (Ce: Were there anyone that didn’t come back?) Bs: Never. Everyone comes back to Holy Cradle. Ce: Oh, got it. Cool. Just another question, the trees that are chopped down here, are there any from…. Are there any from people that died here in Holy Cradle? Even the ones who passed? Bs: Uh… Actually... when you die here in Holy Cradle, you’re buried with your tree. It represents your whole life, and you stay with

it, even after your death. Hel: I got my own tree. A: Where is it? GM: You realize that the tree's distance is really like the distance between a grave and another in a graveyard. You can see that you can bury someone there. Almost as if each tree is someone’s grave. Ce: Uh... Calango: Can I see if... in this space that supposedly has a grave there’s fresh dirt or if any grass grew? GM: In some, yes. You can see that there are some closer to where he’s planting that have a discrepancy on the ground. And know

that you know people are buried there, you see that. Really probably there are buried people in there. Ce: And you’ll plant your tree? Calango: I turn to Murilo. Ce: Where will you plant your tree, Murilo? Where’s the space? Collector: There! GM: He points to… just aside a log there’s a little space that is… That has some stuff around, some preparations, and the ground is a bit digged already. Calango: It’s a bit digged or someone messed with it? (GM: Yeah, to put a seed in it.) Calango: Oh, okay. Collector: But that is just at the end

of the day. We’ll party all day long yet before I go on my trial. Where’s The Tavern Keeper that doesn't bring the drinks, Blacksmith? Bs: Calm down, I’ll check. You’re really excited, huh, Collector? Collector: But It’s my day! Of course I’m excited. Bs: I know, I know. T: Mr. Blacksmith, I wanna ask you something. Everyone who enters here passes by you, right? Bs: Uh, yes. T: So you know their real names? Their real names before the... (Bs: We don’t register anything,...) I just remember Murilo because he's one of the last ones that came here. T:

Got it, okay. (Ce: One more thing, Mr. Blacksmith,...) Sorry to overwhelm you with questions. That maze that we saw near your house, is it part of the pilgrimage's process or is it just a...? It came with the village? Bs: The maze, the Endless Maze is actually one of the biggest legends and one of our biggest prides. No one knows exactly how it works. No one was ever able to reach its center. Kids like to go in there and get lost and play around. No, no one really worries about it. Ce: Have you ever heard of

someone who entered it and didn't come back? Bs: Actually… how do you know that? Ce: No, that was a question. It's just that you, you said it's a legend, right, that, Ce: I don't know, I'm just asking if someone ever found the center. (A: Uh, Gatekeepersaid it's endless, and that, yeah.) Ce: So someone has found the center? Bs: Uh… Well, the only, in Holy Cradle we don't register anything historically, so all the traditions are passed from father to son, or word of mouth. However the only firm legend of Holy Cradle is the legend of the

5 Guardians. For some reason there are 5 statues around the Maze, the legend has it that it represents the 5 Guardians, or the 5 founders of the village or whatever they represent. And legend has it that they were the only ones to enter the Maze, and they wait in the center for the one who is able to enter it, and get to the center. The legend is a, is a story that we tell the kids, like a bedtime story, of course, right. (Ce: Yeah, uh uh. Sure.) Bs: But… It also keeps the children busy, wanting

to go in and find the Guardians in the center of the Maze. Ce: The statues were already there for as long as you can remember, then? Bs: Since I... Many many years, since before I was here those statues were there. And the Maze… Ce: Are you, are you gonna do a tour, show us the village? Bs: Yeah sure, sure, if you, if you're still interested, of course. Bs: Holy Cradle hasa lot to offer you, I'm sure you'll love it. (Ce: Yo, I really wanted to see those statues, I love legends.) Hel: Love it. Ce: I

love legends. Let's go, I'm excited. GM: You notice that like, the, everyone's face when they see you is always like, a happy and excited one to see that someone new arrived in town. From what you saw walking around the streets, the city probably has around 60 to 100 people, like, actually living in it. Around 80 people, you can't really tell exactly. Calango: Ok. Bs: I'm sure you'll love to meet all the many other Holy Cradle's members. I'm the Blacksmith, the village's leader, responsible for taking the most important decisions, I'm also responsible for taking care of

and defending our people. Bs: The Guard... (Ce: Every night…) GM: He points to that armored guy over there. Bs: ...you must have met him too. He's the one responsible for helping me with the defense, uh, especially when there's any emergency and someone needs to go out during the night. Ce: How, what type of emergency makes someone go out? Bs: Someone having an accident, falling, hurting a limb, a sickness, you never know. Ce: Can't you take care of someone who gets in an accident here in, in Holy Cradle? Just because… Bs: Of course we do! We

have the Doctor for that. That's where I wanted to take you to right now, actually. T: Yo, I also wanted to ask you a question, mr. Blacksmith, just… not to be indelicate or anything but you have this marking there, on, on your head, the cheeks, the Gatekeeper had one, what is that? Bs: Well, I don't know. Why don't you have them? Ce: True, true. Guaxi: But, Murilo, does he have that, Master? Guaxi: The marking, too. (GM: Yes.) T: But like, Murilo didn't have it when he got here, what happened to him to have it now?

Bs: Well, he stayed here at Holy Cradle and eventually you develop it. T: A mark on your face…? Bs: I like to think of it like it's a great representation of how Holy Cradle is better than all the other places. Guaxinim: I turn to Joui. A: Joui, is there something on my face? Bs: We are Lusidii. T: There's three. A: Stop... Hel: There's buttery butter Ce: Let's go, let's go, I'm curious to meet the Doctor, see the statues, I'm liking this. Bs: I feel like the best person to introduce the Doctor to you is actually

the Helper. Hel: Yeah, he's my dad. Ce: The Doctor is your dad, Helper? Hel: Dotor, doc, yeah. Let's go. Bs: Good. A: Is your tree there? Hel: No, my tree stays here. Calango: Doc. Felps: Doc. Bs: Uh… Collector, we'll be back soon, don't worry. Collector: Ok, ok, just don't forget to come, there's still a lot of partyingto do , we'll party all day! Bs: Yes, yes, of course. The party... GM: He, he starts to, to go towards the door, still talking to you. Bs: The party of, of the Trial lasts until the night comes. Then

he makes the plant, he plants the tree, and everyone goes home. GM: Ok. So you go back to Holy Cradle's map, here? Luba: Yes GM: Uh, you can place yourself, let me put the… the Blacksmith here and the Helper. You can keep talking to the Blacksmith meanwhile, ok, you don't need to wait. Calango: Is the Blacksmith going with us? GM: Blacksmith is going with you. (Guaxi: I wanna pull Liz aside.) Calango: Ok, then the Blacksmith,I thought he was staying. Well, ok. GM: No, he’s taking you… Luba:I see Arthur and, Arthur calling Liz and I look

at him and go like: Gabi: I… I only have my notebook and… and with my pen in my hand and I'm writing stuff down and I hand it to Arthur, who pulled me, so he can write what he wants to tell me. Guaxinim: Did you write, like, the ignorus, ignarus and… what is like, like, the words. Gabi: Uh, no, Liz, Liz made many notes, like... Guaxi: Ok. I make an arrow to the word "Ignarus" and say: A: What does this word remind you of? Guaxi: Then I hand it to her. Gabi: I make another arrow.

"Fire?" question mark Guaxi: Then I take it and say A: When I heard this word the first time the first thing that came to my mind was "ignorant". Then I give it back. Gabi: I make a surprised face, like this, and I'm: GM: Ok. The Blacksmith, he's walking, and then he realizes that only him and the Helper are walking, and he looks back. Bs: Aren't you coming? Ce: Come on, come on, HEY YOOO. (L: Sorry!) Hel: We're coming. Bs: So, explain this to me, how was it exactly. Who made this map? How did you end

up here? I’m still trying to understand. You don’t, you won’t stop being welcome here, you entered Holy Cradle and now you’ll be part of us like all the others, but… what brought you here? And how did you get here without a pilgrimage? L: So, actually we came here looking for a cave and we got here by chance, so we were just following an ordinary map looking for a cave. Ba: But the, what cave? And why were you looking for a cave? Ce: So, Mr. Blacksmith, uh… we were at this house, that we don’t know the

origin of, we found a drawing, it wasn’t a map, it was more like a drawing of some people that apparently found a cave and made a drawing of it on a map, then we… went, and got here. Then we got to the place that was in the drawing... Bs: But you’d follow any drawing of any map from anywhere you find? Uh, this doesn’t make any sense to me, sorry. Ce: No, it’s just that people, people were missing, and we wanted to investigate, they left this clue of, of this cave and… A: It wasn’t the first

place we went to, Mr. Blacksmith, Ce: Yeah, we searched in many places. Rakin: I want to, hey, I wanna get the picture of the, of the symbol drawing and show it to him. T: Do you know what this is, Mr. Blacksmith? GM: Do you wanna pull, grab the picture object whoever has it, please? Gabi: I’ll take it, I’ll take it, I’ll take it. Rakin: I show him the symbol. GM: You wanna show what picture, GM: What symbol picture, this one? (Gabi: I’ll… I’ll take this one.) Rakin: That’s the one. GM: You, ok. The Blacksmith is

right in front of you, with his back facing you, he’s walking slowly towards a house that’s a bit whiter with a green-ish roof, up ahead. T: Yo Blacksmith, before you go to this house, do you know what symbol this is? Just curious, because… GM: He stops. Bs: Huh, what is it? GM: He grabs the picture, it’s really tiny in his hand. His expression, you see that his expression was like: Bs: Where did you find this? T: Around. There. In the house we were at. GM: Uh, your audio is cutting up a little, Thiago. Calango: You

have to turn off echo cancellation, right? Rakin: My echo cancellation? Gabi: Yeah, I think so. Calango: (Go on), go on Discord’s settings, voice and video, scroll down, then you’ll see “Echo Cancellation”, then just turn it off. GM: You see that the Blacksmith he was like, he was, (Rakin: Is it good now?) GM: he already has a closed face, naturally, but when he grabs this picture, he looks at it and… Bs: ...Where did you get this? L: I believe this picture belonged to one of the guardians. Bs: Huh? I don’t know what you mean by that,

but… I know someone who might know more about this symbol. I’ll take you there later. GM: He hands you back the picture. GM: And then you get to this little house, uh, white house, that the Helper recognizes as the Doctor’s house, and… it’s, it doesn’t have a lot of decoration, like, looks really simple, but it’s well maintained, all of Holy Cradles houses, even though they have this medieval aspect, they are all well taken care of, and… The Blacksmith just: Bs: Well, this is the Doctor’s house. Uh, if you wanna go in, he’s probably finishing taking

care of, of one of the miners that are hurt, so he can go to the, the Grove afterwards. GM: He points at him. Ce: Just a question, Mr. Blacksmith. Another one, actually. It’s just… every night, for what you said, you fight against freaks that show up here. Who are the responsible ones? You fight, the Guards too, is there anyone else who fights? Bs: Well, we don’t fight anyone, actually, we just know that the creatures are here. Actually they barely show up, they just really appear sometimes, except for when there are Ignari in town. The town

doesn’t really like Ignari. But, don’t worry, this will, this changes with time, you don’t need to… We’re here for that. J: But if you don’t like Ignari, why are you being nice to us? Bs: No, we the Lusidii., we like them, it’s the town that doesn’t. J: What do you mean? (T: What do you mean the town? Is the town alive?) Hel: The town, dude! Bs: The town, Holy Cradle. T: But, what, aren’t you the town? Bs: No, we live in the town. Hel: Yeah. Guaxi: Can I whisper to… (T: So what is the town?)

Guaxi: wait, I can’t whisper to him, forget it. T: Like, in my head, the city consists of the people that live in it, the city are the people, so if you’re saying that the people like us but the town doesn’t, so what is the town? Bs: The town is Holy Cradle, where you are. GM: And he points around. (Hel: Look to the ground) A: Is the town alive? Bs: In a way. T: In what way? Bs: In the way that it gives us food, it protects us and gives us life and a place to stay.

And if it feels that there is any danger... GM: And he looks at, and you feel that, like, he looks at, at, at your guns. Bs: ...and fire. It doesn’t like fire. We don’t use fire in Holy Cradle. And I don’t know the reason you came here, but fireguns don't sound like just curiosity to me. And the town does not like fire. You shouldn't have brought this here, and it won't respond in a good way. Doctor! GM: Then he enters the house. He always bends down, to go through doors. GM:Will Helper go too? Are you

going after them, Felps? GM: They go on. You're in front of the house. Calango: I get in too, let's go. GM: Everyone does? (Luba: I’ll go too.) Gabi: I'll go after them. Guaxi: I'm behind them. Rakin: I'll take the lead, let's go. GM: You get to this house, to this really pretty wooden room, which has a nice rug, and the table has a pretty tablecloth on top of it, and you see these, these candlesticks on top of it, but they aren't lit with fire, they have what seems to be really tiny lamps, emitting a very

red light. You all enter the house, and the Blacksmith he goes towards the armchair, and sits in the armchair. Bs: Hey, doctor! Felps: I'll sit here too. GM: You see that to the right there's a closed door, and then from inside comes out a guy completely in black, with the… He's like 50 years old, he wears completely black and long clothes, he has sleeves, uh, long sleeves, black gloves, and he's also wearing small glasses and a completely black hat. He has two stripes that goes down like this, his skin is grey and his eyes are

totally black, too. He comes out: Dr: Uhh? Ooh. Blacksmith, who… May I help? Welcome to Holy Cradle? Bs: Uh, these are new Ignarii that arrived in town. Apparently they came here following some kind of map, looking for missing people. It's the first time I hear something like this in Holy Cradle. Dr: Mhm. Are they hurt or something? Bs: No, no, they just wanted to come here to meet you, apparently. I'm showing them around, you know how it's like to Ingarii. Hel: It's always nice to show around. Dr: Hi son! Hel: Hi dad! Dr: Hm… welcome…

GM: He looks at you, like, with a serious and penetrating look. J: Mr. Doctor... J: Were you born here in Holy Cradle too? If I may ask you that. Dr: Uh, no… you must be very scared, right, The Blacksmith? Bs: Yes, yes. They are a bit shocked. Especially considering they didn't get here with any kind of pilgrim. J: We are a little curious, too. (Dr: Hm… how does this thing of not coming with a pilgrim work?) Dr: There isn't a map to Holy Cradle. Ce: It wasn't actually a map. J: Well, uh, mr, Mr. Doctor,

my name is Joui. Do you remember or could you say what your name was before you got to Holy Cradle? Dr: No…? Why do you wanna know that? J: We're a bit curious. GM: Then you hear a feminine voice coming from behind the door that he came from, and then you hear: ???: Uh, just a second. GM: And you see coming from behind the door: ???: Mr. Doctor. GM: She looks at you, it's a girl with, uh, black, tied up hair, wearing a white apron and all-black clothes, looking like, like The Doctor's, you recognize her

as the nurse Cibele, from the hospital. Gabi: It's Cibele. Calango: AHH, dude I knew it! Nurse: Welcome! Welcome to Holy Cradle! Felps: And I look at them really happy, really happy. L: Cibele? Calango: I say “Cibele”. Ce: Hello. Hel: Hi, Nurse! Nurse: H-hi, Helper! Uh, hi, uh, is everyone ok? You came to Holy Cradle too! That's nice! You're very welcome! L: Cibele, what are you doing here? Nurse: I'm helping the Doctor, we are… there's a nurse that ended up having a stone slide inside the mining, the cave, and so we're helping him. But he's almost

ready, we are, we were already going to The Trial. You arrived on a very cool day! Be very welcome to Holy Cradle! Ce: Thanks, Cibele. Felps: [Laughs] L: Cibele, why did you abandon Carpazinha? Why did you leave the hospital, why did you leave everyone? Nurse: Because I wanted to move here. What's wrong with it? L: But, you didn't tell anybody, you just vanished. Nurse: I didn't vanish, I came here! I didn't have anyone to tell, who would I warn? Hel: I'm glad you came here... Nurse: Hey, Helper! Heehee. Hel: Hey! A: Hmm. (A: Don't bother

asking, Liz.) GM: The Doctor looks at you, like Dr: Uh, you… seem a bit hurt. GM: He looks at Joui and Arthur. Dr: You want me to check that? A: No, we're fine. J: Yes. (L: No, Joui!) Dr: You're definitely not ok. GM: He points to Joui, like this. Hel: My dad's the best, let him take care of you. L: Joui?! A: Liz! Dude. Gabi: I grab him by his arm, the moment he says yes. GM: He arrives, he gets there fast. He comes, goes walking towards Joui, like, looking at, at his wound, and he,

he, he starts to go towards it, his fingers are really long, he's wearing black gloves, he's looking at your face, like, and now you are really close to him and it's a little, it's a little uncomfortable, like, seeing his completely black eye reflecting light. He, he comes really close to you [dice sounds] GM: He takes... (Gabi: I slap his hand,) Gabi: so he doesn't touch Joui. [slap sound] Calango: [Laughs] Hel: What?!! GM: He was trying to get the band-aid, then he: Dr: Hm?! Is everything ok with you…? (J: Liz, it's ok.) GM: The BlacksmitHel: Bs:

Hey, you can let him do it, he knows what he's doing, he's the Holy Cradle's doctor. L: N-no, no. No, no, no. Don't touch him. J: Liz-senpai, it's ok. Hel: What, but, my dad's the best... (A: Ah, Liz, man, let Joui go.) J: Trust me, trust me this time. Gabi: I take my hand off of him. [Laughs] J: Uh… Sorry, Mr. Doctor. GM: He's looking at you confused. Dr: I just wanna check the wound. J: Oh, sorry, Mr. Doctor, she's my doctor too, she was just a bit concerned. Dr: Alright, these Ignari Doctors… [sigh] GM:

He, he goes to your band-aid and [TSRH] takes it off, like this. J: [groan], ouch. GM: It hurts a little, GM: and… you, you see that there's that X, not very healed, stitched, and he: Dr: Hm… Oh, I can fix this in 5 minutes. Don't you want me to fix this? We are already done with the Miner's thing, anyways, we can fix you up and go to the… Grove. L: Joui, don't! J: Uh, yes, but, my, can my doctor stay with me? In the room? Dr: Whatever you want, I just wanna do my job now

that you're in Holy cradle. L: Joui!! J: Ok. (J: Trust me, Liz.) GM: While this happens, Cibele goes towards Thiago and Cesar, who are at the door. Nurse: So, how, how did you, like, get here, I didn't understand anything, but that's cool, you came to Holy Cradle! T: Yeah, it's nice. Ce: Ah, I'm also [clap] very excited to be here, Cibele! Guaxi: [Laughs] T: Wow, wonderful place, nice landscape. Nurse: [surprised sounds] And it was an accident, right? No one brought you. Tell me more, what happened? Ce: Girl, wow, we were walking around Carpazinha and then…

We ended up here! Nuser: Huh? Calango: I leave Cibele there Calango: and go towards the Helper, where is he, here? GM: Cibele is a bit confused. Yeah. Ce: Hey, Helper. Hel: Me? Huh? Ce: Uh… while, while they're going there to sort that stuff out, can I talk to you? I wanna know a bit more about the city and all. Hel: Oh but it's just that, I, I wanna, I wanna see it too. Ce: What do you wanna see? Hel: I wanna, I wanna see, specially that, the Nurse will be there, I wanna go with them.

Ce: Why? You, you, you li- you like her? Guaxi: [Laughs] Hel: Shhh, shhh. Dr: Come, come, come on. GM: He starts, he pulls Joui like, by the arm, the Doctor, he comes, he keeps bringing Joui to, to this room, he opens the door, bringing you. You then see this room, with three beds, made out of, sacks, they don't seem very comfortable, they look more like gurneys. There are many, there's a shelf with many bottles with blood, some liquids in different colors, like, most of them are really green, and on top of it you see a

shelf with many and many little jars and jugs and glasses, with what seems to be a type of green crystal shining inside of them. The Doctor, then, he, he points to you, the Nurse comes with him and says: Nurse: Uh, can I help? Can I help? GM: She comes along. The Doctor turns to the Nurse and says: Dr: Get… hm... GM: He looks at Joui, at the scar. Dr: Get me a small crystal. GM: The Nurse: Nurse: Ok! GM: She runs to this top shelf, and grabs one of those, uh, those little jars with crystals

inside, she takes a tiny green crystal, which's shining, and puts it on, on a metal material that has a slot on the tip, and places the crystal there. Then takes it to the Doctor, who holds it and points it to the bed. Dr: You may sit. J: Ok. L: Joui. Are you sure? J: Yes. Guaxi: Yeah, I also went with them, I came along. (J: Just stay here with me.) T: Yo, Mr. Doctor, what kind of kryptonite- Ce: Arthur, get back here! [Laughs] (T: Hey Mr. Doctor-) GM: The nurse brings it, the Doctor grabs it,

like, he, he places himself while you speak. GM: Have you asked yet? (T: What do these crystals…) Rakin: I did, I did. T: What Crystals... Dr: Oh, these are one of the many gifts Holy Cradle gives us. GM: And he, he holds your face like this, and starts to, you feel the crystal touching the top of your scar, he runs it harshly through it, you feel it kinda burning, then he... Luba: He's talking to me, right? GM: Uh, yeah. (Luba: Oh, ok.) GM: He runs the crystal over your scar, almost cutting it, and you feel

like it's a scalpel cutting through... J: Ouch! GM: ...and you recover… 4 HP points. Calango: You're losing sanity, don't fall for his lies. [Laughs] GM: And the scar, the scar… it kinda, you see some green smoke coming out of it, and the scar is completely healed. It's no longer a wound, it's just a scar. Then he removes the crystal. Hel: Yaaay [clapping] Dr: Done, I told you it would be quick. Calango: Hold on, yo, I wanted to talk to Arthur, take a bit longer on that process, please [Gabi laughs] GM: Ok, ok, but while that

happened you can talk to Arthur. (Felps: Yeah, side talk.) Ce: Uh… Arthur. A: 'Sup. Ce: Did you notice that weird thing on the Blacksmith's eye? (Guaxi: Uh, I look at him.) Calango: I look at him, out of the corner of my eye, and I wanna check if he has any reaction If he heard it. GM: Uh, Blacksmith, the Blacksmith, I didn't actually put him there but he came in with you, to accompany everyone. (A: Ok, what do you mean, hold on, a marking?) Calango: Ahhh. Oh, I thought he was here. GM: No, you can point,

you can point, no problem. Calango: Ah, no, actually. Calango: No, I just said that to see if he would hear, if he would react. I just said that to see if the Blacksmith would react, because if he did, I wouldn't say what I wanted to. GM: You can go and say that either way. Calango: Ok, so I'll get closer and I wanna say that. (Guaxi: Ok. I, like…) GM: The Blacksmith is looking but not impressed, but seeing the Ignari, like, just watching the Ignari reactions, of the healing happening. Guaxi: When I was going to enter

the room he called me, so he pushed me, here, to the wall, to get closer to the Blacksmith. [Laughs] GM: The Blacksmith is the one closest to the door, next to Thiago. Ce: Ok, come here, Arthur! A: Hi. GM: Did you say that? Calango: I said it quietly to Arthur, yes. GM: Ok, ok, ok. A: What is it? Ce: Dude, Ce: we know about the, these Maze, that apparently there is a legend that people found the center. What people do we know that came back from Holy Cradle? Lurdete, Lurdete's daughter, and apparently the Crazy Old

Man. What if these were the three guardians and, and there's the other two missing, who we don't know? A: Or it the three guardians are actually the doctors that did everything. Ce: But, they've never even been to Holy Cradle, to begin with? That's what I'm thinking. If the, if the people of Holy Cradle know there were, there were 5 guardians, they have probably been here before. A: I don't know what to tell you, I'm way more confused than you are, I think. I'm really curious to know what's happening there, actually, I'm a bit worried about

Joui. Ce: Ok, hm… I don't know about their listening ability. I noticed that the Gatekeeper had a really good hearing when he, when he heard Liz whisper. But... apparently, when they're distracted, they don't hear so well. I said that earlier to check if the Blacksmith would hear it. Anyways, let's go back in there. A: Uh, don't you think that... you've seen that everyone has grey skin and all. Do you think that it comes with time or that he's doing that to Joui right now? Ce: So, I think that that's what might be happening to Joui,

but... it might also be that the longer we spend here, the more we become one of them, I think. A: Ok. So let's go see it, because, you know, we better go see it. GM: When you come back, then, you see the Doctor finishing the closing of Joui's scar, and he gives back the crystal, which doesn't have such a strong green light anymore, it only has a dim light, and he gives it back to the Nurse, who goes back running. The other, the Miner that was sleeping next to you, he wakes up. Miner: [yawn] Uh…

hello? J: Hello, Sir. L: Hello…? Min: Welcome to Holy Cradle? GM: The Doctor: Dr: Oh, you woke up. Uhm, are you feeling better? GM: He moves his leg. Min: Hm, yes, yes, hm. Are they new Ignari? Who brought them? Dr: Apparently… Bs: No one knows, no one knows. They actually came by themselves, following some kind of map. We're trying to understand it, too. GM: The Nurse comes: (Ce: It's not really a map.) Nurse: Yeah, I remember them from the hospital. Nurse: They arrived there really, really hurt once. Bs: What, hurt? GM: He looks at you.

Bs: Why were you hurt? Ce: Bar brawl. T: Hold up, yo, yo Cibele, how long have you been here? Just curious. Nurse: Oh, I came here on the 13th. Ce: You've been through the Trial already. Right? Nurse: No, I'm really, I'm really excited. I came with Murilo right? The Collector, I mean. [Laughs] Gabi: Uh, while that's happening, I wanna hold Joui's face and start examining his scar. GM: You run your hand over it and you feel that it's really well healed. It's all cured. Very soft. Luba: I don't feel anything anymore, right? Like- GM: Yeah,

you run your hand over it and you don't feel anything. It burned when the procedure was happening, but it was also very relieving, as if you felt that where the crystal went through, it stopped hurting. T: Hey, Sir… L: Uh, like, I'm analysing it with my knowledge, and I see that it's just, it just looks like a wound that has been healed a long time ago? GM: Yeah, sort of. T: Yo Mr. Blacksmith, there's something that you've been saying that's making me really confused, man. You say all the time, uh, you call everyone, they come

here, why is it so uncommon for people to find the town if it's right next to Carpazinha, huh mate? Bs: Uh, why would someone look for a town in the middle of the forest? T: Why doesn't someone- not in the forest. They're there, travelling, chilling, look at the forest, and "oh, look! A town!" To me that sounds more common than uncommon.. GM: You remember that in the road, you like, you walked for 10, 15 minutes inside the forest, right in the middle of the woods until you started to find the trail. It's not like the

trail goes out of the road and goes right to the town, it's like, a really in-the-middle-of-the-woods thing, it's not somewhere you can casually go in. Just to be clear. Calango: Yeah, and it's in the middleof the woods in Carpazinha, right. GM: Yeah. T: Seems impossible to be so uncommon for people to come here, many people are looking at us in a weird way. Like, no one will find the town, no one... Bs: No, everyone is finding it weird because no one expected new people since no one went out on a pilgrimage. It's surprising to everyone.

But don't new people appear out of nowhere every once in a while? Or is this the first time? So new people don’t show up, Mr. Blacksmith? Bs: We always bring new people when we need new people. T: And it never appears someone without you needing them? Never? Bs: You were the first. At the least since I’m here. T: Years and years pass by and we’re the first ones? Bs: Without any pilgrimations, yes. L: Hey, Doctor. Sorry to bother, but have you ever seen this symbol? Gabi: I handed him the same picture I handed to The

Blacksmith before. Do you want me to pull it out? (GM: The Doctor, he… He looks at it...) Dr: Uh… Blacksmith, isn’t this the symbol… Bs: Yeah, it’s the symbol from the attacks at the Farm. Uh, I said I’d take you there. L: Er… Doctor. Have you ever seen this symbol on a man’s back? Bs: What? No, this symbol... L: This symbol... (Bs: At least it looks like the symbol...) ...Marked on the animals that are showing up dead… At the Farm… What do you mean marked? (L: Ah, so you really...) ...Don't have any knowledge regarding this

symbol, right? Bs: No. L: This symbol doesn't represent anything to you? Bs: It represents the animals that are showing up dead and... And eaten at the farm, no one understands it. Lately… You ask a lot of questions (L: Oh, thanks.) Bs: But I realized… The guns, are you from the police? Hel: Oh no, oh no. Bs: Calm down, Helper. Helper: Oh, okay. (Bs: Do you work at Carpazinha’s PD or something like this?...) ...I can’t recognize your accents. Where exactly did you come from? Ce: Er… (J: I’m from Japan.) Ce: São Paulo. L: Er… I’m from

São Paulo too. Bs: And you came here... To do what? Ce: We were looking for some people, some friends of ours that went missing. J: Mr. Blacksmith, the name... (Bs: In Holy Cradle?) Ce: No, we don’t know if they came here. (J: The name “Esoterrorist” reminds you of something?) Bs: What? Eso... What? J: Esoterrorist. Bs: No. Luba: I look very seriously at Liz. Bs: You… But wait... You came here to... (Gabi: I wanna hand him the Team Kelvin picture.) Bs: You came here to the South region because you were looking... But you said you were

looking for Carpazinha citizens. Bs: But you wouldn't come from São Paulo and Japan to look for someone from Carpazinha... ...Who are you looking for? (Ce: Friends of ours...) ...Friends of ours, we came here to look for our friends that went missing, then more people started to disappear in Carpazinha, and we’re here. (Bs: I know everyone from Holy Cradle, if you tell me...) ...Maybe they might be here. Gabi: I pull out Team Kelvin’s picture from my backpack and hand it to him. L: These are our friends. (GM: He takes it...) ...The picture is really small on

his hand, he stares at it for a while and looks at the back. Bs: Yes... They came to Holy Cradle. Actually. (Ce: Oh…) Bs: I imagined you had something to do with them, since you got here. They had a behavior like... GM: He returns the picture. (Bs: ...Really like yours...) ...They arrived at Holy Cradle, but they came in a pilgrimation, they were brought by The Pilgrim, the Last Blacksmith. That... Unfortunately died. L: Oh… The Last Blacksmith died? (Ce: Died from what?) J: I’m sorry. (Bs: She… Yes...) ...She died on the.... She died 10 days ago.

Anyway, I don’t… Going back! They came here... About... four, three to four weeks ago, more or less. I don’t remember exactly. They stayed at the village for a few weeks. Do you remember how many weeks were there, Helper? It was three weeks, more or less. Helper: three, two to three, I don’t know. Bs: And... they made something that… Just as you came here out of nowhere, it surprised everyone. They’d get in the Endless Maze every day, apparently they were really trying to find a way, but that’s normal. When you’re an Ignarus, it’s normal of you

to get fascinated by the Maze, keep trying to find a way, thinking you’ll find the Guardians, thinking you’re the “chosen one”. But no one ever gets it. Of course, everyone gets out, just using the Maze to play, to have fun, but they… (Hel: So cool.) Bs: After a few weeks here asking lots of questions, just like you! They got in the Maze and no one saw them coming out. Younger people started theorizing that they managed to get in there, but it’s obvious that they didn’t. Probably what happened is that that they got in during the

day, stayed there until the night, and came out in the middle of the night when everyone was inside. But they were never seen again in Holy Cradle. Or they were the first people to get in the Maze, that I find impossible. Or they left. Ce: But didn’t you say that other people got in before? (Bs: Which is more plausible...) ...Since you came here. J: Mr. Blacksmith? Sorry, but you said people think they are the “Chosen One”? Is there some kind of prophecy regarding the Maze? (Bs: No, it’s just… When…) Like I said, the tale is

that the Guardians are waiting for someone who can solve the Maze, and they are waiting at the Maze’s center. So everyone wants to be the "chosen one", or the "solver", or what you wanna call it. J: I’m sorry for the Last Blacksmith. GM: He looks at you with a sad gaze. Bs: No problem, time takes everyone and everything. What matters is that Holy Cradle is... Holy Cradle is a strong place... Because of her. Ce: Was she The Blacksmith for a long time? Bs: Yes. Bs: When she died…I... (L: For how long? Do you know?) Bs:

Oh…When I arrived here she was already The Blacksmith. Ce: My condolences, Mr. Blacksmith. (GM: You see that he’s sad talking this.) L: Er… Sorry, one more question, Doctor. But how long have you been here? Bs: Many, many years. We don’t count, we don’t care about time here in Holy Cradle. We just live, and when we need someone new, we leave and search, we’re not obsessed with... With time like you are. But you’ll get it soon enough. Ce: Yeah, okay. Calango: I get out and keep waiting at the door. Guaxi: I go straight to Joui and

I keep looking at his cheek. J: Look... It healed completely, I don’t feel anything. Guaxi: I start poking him. (GM: The doctor turns to you.) Dr: Hmm… Your problem seems to be a little bit bigger. Do you want me to solve it too? Guaxi: I look at Joui. Guaxi: And I look at Liz. Dr: Nurse! Nurse: Oh… Dr: Bring a bigger crystal. (A: Oh… I guess…) Nurse: Okay, okay. (A: I guess…) GM: She goes to the shelf and starts looking. She takes a crystal, a bit bigger now, (L: [wispering] Arthur!) About this size, this big.

The other one was the size of a die like this, and this one size is like this, a bit bigger. She puts it in bigger pliers, and brings them to The Doctor. (Calango: I got back.) Dr: Just sit there. (GM: He starts to get near you...) ...With his odd look, that… (A: Oh, Doctor, er… I...) ...I don’t know if… I guess that… I...I’m cool, I guess. Dr: Uhh, you’re definitely not okay. (Ce: You find these crystals in the cave?) GM: [SHLAP] He removes one of the bandages, the top one, (A: Ouch...) GM: And you got

a giant and ugly scar. Not a scar, just some poorly made stitches. (Guaxi: A cut.) Dr: Uh… Geez. Who made this... (L: Arthur!) Dr: ...This surgery on you? (A: I said I didn’t want it...) ...Er… (Dr: Don’t you worry...) ...Nurse?! (L: Any problem with the stitches, Doctor?) GM: She hands him… Hands him the crystal. Dr: Stay still, don’t move… (L: No!) Gabi: I’ll put my arm in front of Arthur and pull him back. GM: Okay, wait… Arthur, do you let her do it? Guaxi: I let her, I’m… (GM: Do you let her pull you?) Guaxi:

Yes. (GM: Ok, he was going to…) ...He was going to start healing you, then she pulls you back. Dr: Uhm?! Any issue? (A: I don’t... I don’t…) L: I don’t think it’s a good idea. A: Did it hurt, Joui? J: Oh, at the moment it burned a bit, but after... (A: So that’s it...) ...I got a problem with pain… Sorry. (GM: You see The Miner...) ...While this conversation was going on, he: Miner: Oh, well. I’ll go to the Trial Grove. I’ll see you there. Actually... Blacksmith, do you know if The Tavernkeeper needs someone to take

the beers there? Bs: Oh, apparently people were complaining that they didn’t have beer, so maybe it’s worth it dropping by the Tavern beforehand. Miner: Okay, okay, okay. I’ll go there, then. GM: He passes by you. Miner: Thanks Doctor! Thanks Doctor! Doctor: It’s fine, just take care next time. GM: He leaves The Doctor’s house. Ce: These green crystals you find in that… That cave that The Miner was working? Doctor: Yes, it’s one of... Many gifts from Holy Cradle, these are the Life Stones. Ce: And you got other crystals? Doctor: We have a few other crystals. We

got the fire crystals, you may have seen them at The Blacksmith’s house. Ce: We saw them on the candle holder, right, Blacksmith? GM: Oh… The candle holder is at The Doctor’s house, but now… Roll a Wisdom test. Calango: Damn… I’m smart, brother, if I fail I’ll be disappointed at myself. Guaxi: Yeah, I said that last time. Calango: Hey! I got regular. Oh, it was regular, regular. GM: Okay, regular? You... Now that he said that, you got a memory, you… Think about The Blacksmith’s house, and those embers you saw at the corner, some were on the

ground, some fallen ones, and they probably weren’t blazing coal, looking back, maybe they were red crystals that were emitting light. (Calango: OK.) Ce: Yeah, I remember I saw it at the forge, but I thought they were embers. Bs: Oh, it’s normal to get mistaken when you’re an Ignarus, but we don’t use fire in Holy Cradle. Bs: Holy Cradle gives us the heat we need with the crystals. (Ce: Understood.) L: Mr. Blacksmith? And where do these crystals come from? Do they come from the same place? Bs: From the mining cave. (Ce: The cave, right?) L: Yeah,

but do all the crystals, all kinds of crystals that you use come from the same cave? Bs: Yes! And there’s also all the other ores we need: Iron, copper, gold, whatever... Whatever you need. The cave and Holy Cradle gives us all we need to live. L: Okay, thanks. Calango: Now I come here and stay there. (GM: The Doctor is with...) ...The crystal in hands, looking... (Gabi: I keep pulling Arthur to my side.) Dr: Do you want to fix this or not? A: No. (Guaxi: I get the bandage he removed. Did he throw it somewhere?...) ...Or

is it in his hand? (GM: It’s… He just removed it and...) ...Left it besides the gurney. Guaxi: Ok, I get it from the gurney, then. A: Oh… Not today, Mr. Doctor. Guaxi: Then I put it back. Dr: Oh, okay. Nurse! (T: Hey, Doctor?) Dr: Do you have anything else? Nurse: No, Doctor, it’s alright. Dr: So we’ll be on our way. T: Wait, Doctor, wait. Let me ask you. Do these crystals help with hearing? Dr: Oh, no, no. Unfortunately, we can’t repair severe internal injuries. T: Hm… OK, then. Dr: I can try. T: It can be…

GM: He asks… He asks… (Dr: Nurse?...) ...Fragment this crystal and bring a tiny one. Nurse: Okay. (GM: She goes running to the shelf again...) ...He takes the little hammers, you hear them You see her [tin tin tin], she does a lot of stuff. OK. She gets back with a pair of tweezers, with… A little green crystal splinter, she hands it to the Doctor, fastly. He looks at it, analyzing. Dr: Ok, I need you to stay still. Really still. Which one is it? The one with the scar? T: This one. Doctor: Okay. GM: He holds… Doctor:

Stay really still. (GM: Roll a…) ...Constitution test for me, please. (Guaxi: Still test.) [Luba and Gabi laugh] Rakin: [muted] I passed. Guaxi: He passed. GM: You passed? (Rakin: I passed, I passed.) GM: Okay. You... You stay still, he starts to insert the tweezers inside your ear, and you feel… You hear a noise [ringing noise] You’re hearing again. Calango: You’re fucking joking. GM: He… He’s like: [Snap snap] Dr: Hello? T: Hey, y’all… I’m hearing again. J: Mr. Doctor, do you have any kind of psychological crystal? Dr: Ahn? J: To deal with… Trauma. Dr: Oh… As The

Doctor, I’m responsible for talking to people and dealing with their issues too. If you need anyone to talk to I’m always available. J: Okay, thanks. Maybe I’ll come back later. Doctor: Well, er.. I want to... Welcome you again, I know you must be really confused right now, but you’ll learn to love Holy Cradle just as we all do. Blacksmith, me and The Nurse, we’ll go to the Trial Grove, to The Collector’s trial party, I’ll see you there. Anything else? GM: He looks at Arthur again. Arthur: Ah… Er… No, no. Today, we’ll go celebrate the Trial.

Felps: I come to the corner here, and I talk to The Nurse. Hel: Will you really go today? Nurse: Yes, yes! I’m really excited, I want my Trial to be as soon as possible, too. Hel: Yes! True. Nice. I hope there’s Buttery Butter. Nurse: Oh, if you want I can ask The Tavernkeeper later. Hel: Oh, please! Nurse: Blacksmith, Blacksmith! GM: The Blacksmith, he was doing something else. (Bs: Uh?) Nurse: Can you get some Buttery Butter? We like it a lot… Bs: Oh… I’ll talk to The Tavernkeeper, okay, okay. Hel: Yes! (J: Can I try it

too?) J: I want to try it too. Bs: Oh… We’ll go to the tavern, there must be some there. GM: The Nurse turns to The Helper. (J: Thanks.) Nurse: Well, I’ll see you there. Bring some beverages to us. Hel: Sure! Nurse: [Giggles] GM: And she leaves. Actually, she said “bevys” because she has an aussie accent. She leaves with The Doctor, they both go walking together towards the grove. T: Hey, Lil’ C... Bs: Oh… Well, I guess it’s better if we leave his house, right? It’s not polite to stay at somebody’s house if they’re not present.

GM: He starts to leave [heavy steps]. (J: I agree.) He crouches through the door. [stutters] Every time that he passes by you, you see that he’s much bigger than any house that was designed. Ce: What happened inside, guys? It took really long. T: Bro… (J: Something about butter.) T: I guess that independently... what’s happening in this village, we gotta steal 10kg of this crystal. J: Thiago-sensei, that's not cool. (Ce: Why?) L: What happened? (Ce: Joui, are you okay?) T: Guys, I’m hearing again! I’m hearing with both ears again! (J: Me?) Guaxi: I wanna do this

[snapping] on his ears. (Gabi: I'll get in front of Thiago...) ...Yeah, I do this on both sides. [Snapping] L: Wait, are you sure? (J: I’m great, and Thiago-sensei is hearing again!) Ce: Thiago is hearing again? How come? (Guaxi: I go to his deaf ear...) ...Put my mouth near it, and say: A: Zucchini. T: Zucchini in your ass. (A: What!) Ce: He’s hearing! (J: You see this place? It’s amazing!) L: No, no no no no, but… Don’t get carried away by the good stuff. Pay attention, each time you get something good... (Bs: Won’t you come?) Ce:

We're going! (A: Ah, we’ll be right there! Just a sec.) L: [Whispering] Did they hear us talking? J: It isn’t polite to stay at someone’s house without them being here. (A: Let’s stay at the street, let’s stay at the street!) L: Let’s go, let’s go. (GM: OK, you leave The Doctor’s house?) Guaxi and Gabi: Yes. (GM: Okay...) ...So we’ll put you back on Holy Cradle. Oops. Gabi: Actually, wait… No, okay… nevermind. (GM: Now you’re in Holy Cradle...) ...You wanna get back to the Doctor’s house? (Gabi: Uh-huh, yes.) ...Where’s The Blacksmith? (GM: Do you wanna get

back to the…) ...The Doctor’s house or not? I can put you back. Okay, there. (Gabi: Where’s The Blacksmith?) Calango: Now let’s get out, and again, and again… I’m joking. GM: OK, you’re back here. Guaxi: Almost peed. GM: Oops. (L: Hey, someone, go outside to distract...) ...The Blacksmith, I wanna explore this place. T: Hey, Liz, steal some crystals for us. L: [shushes] Stop, Thiago. (J: Thiago, that’s nothing polite.) A: Guys, why are you using the crystals, didn’t you… Didn’t you say to me not to touch that sludge? You got crazy, and the guy we don't even

know wants us to use something, we don't even know the place, we were searching for info about it. (Hel: They're taking their time...) J: Yeah, but we didn’t get crazy this time. (Bs: It really is taking too long, Helper.) A: You don’t know that. (L: Someone go outside!) Bs: Do you wanna go inside see what’s going on? (A: ’ll go outside!) GM: You see… No, you didn’t hear that. So you see The Helper comming inside and you are whispering, The Helper gets in while you talk. (Hel: Hey guys...) ...What’s going on? (A: Oh…. We’re talking

quietly.) T: Everything is okay, we were just admiring the architecture, look. Hel: Oh, pretty cool, huh? Our house is really nice, I love it. (Ce: You live here, don’t you?...) ...You don’t, right? (Hel: No, no...) ...This is my dad’s house, The Doctor. Ce: Understood. (A: And where do you live?) Hel: Oh, I got my little house. L: Do you? Let’s meet your house then. (A: Show it to me. Yeah, show it.) Ce: Hey, I’m going. Hey, I left. J: [Whispering] What are you doing? (Helper: Great, you left, okay.) A: I wanna see his house, geez.

(L: Please, go ahead...) ...We’ll go right behind you. Lead the way. (Hel: Okay...) ...I called them. (GM: You leave...) ...You leave the house. (Gabi: I’ll stay inside.) GM: Okay, the door is open, everyone is leaving, and The Blacksmith is looking at everyone passing by, he’s looking at you inside. (Gabi: I lean on the corner, waiting for everyone to get out...) ...I lean on the wall here, I pretend I’m not here anymore. (GM: Roll Stealth.) Rakin: I'm also inside the house. (Gabi: Wow, I don’t even know how much Stealth I got, wait.) Gabi: I rolled a

10... Rakin: I gotta roll Stealth too, Mr. Master? GM: If you wanna stay in, yes. (Gabi: Oh, I got regular.) Rakin: I wanna stay in, but without being stealth, I wanna get in giving an excuse. GM: Oh… How many did you roll? (Gabi: I got regular...) GM: Regular? (Gabi: Regular, I rolled a 37...) ...No, 27. GM: The Blacksmith, he saw you hiding. Bs: Oh… We are going, okay? You… The Doctor has already left, it’s better if we keep seeing the rest of Holy Cradle, wait for him to get back if you wanna talk with him

more. T: Hey, Mr. Blacksmith, let me tell you something, he said something about a fire crystal. this green crystal you use for… The fire crystal, can you show it to us at your house, quick stuff? GM: He points at the candle holder that’s behind you. Bs: That’s one of them. Ce: Told ya. T: Fuck, this thing is glowing! Guaxi: Didn’t you leave the room? (GM: You see that candle holder...) ...What appears to be fire are actually four little red crystals lighting up the table. T: You use that to make your swords, your... Your stuff there?

(Bs: Yes, yes. They emit the heat we need...) ...To cook or to… Just piling up the… Is your friend okay? T: She’s fine, she’s there. (L: No, no. I’m fine...) ...I’m just looking around. These crystals here caught my attention, they’re really cool. I’ve never seen something like this. (GM: You see, you go to the shelf to investigate…) you see just a few doodles from really basic medicine, many rudimentar drawings from the human anatomy, with muscle parts that you don’t even understand what’s written, there are very few things written. It’s just drawings, the majority of these

notebooks. You don’t see anything else. (Gabi: But it’s in Portuguese?) GM: Ah, you don’t recognize it, it’s in another language. Calango: Why was the arc written in Portuguese, then? Guaxi: Touchè. (GM: Whom did you ask that to?) Calango: Oh, I asked more because I thought it was a plot hole... But I didn’t ask, then. GM: Understood. (Calango: I didn’t say anything, I’m fine.) GM: You see this language that you don’t understand, (Rakin: What a player.) but they are isolated little words, they are isolated symbols, and you see… And you see just that on the drawing.

while The Blacksmith is talking. (Gabi: But like…) Bs: And when you… The crystals work in a manner that when you accumulate them, the greater the amount of crystal accumulation, more heat they emit. So, these crystals barely emit any heat, we use them for light, but when we accumulate bigger crystals and in more quantity, I can, for instance... Melt iron. T: So if I get 10.000 of those green crystals I become the healthiest man on earth? Bs: Oh… We’re leaving, OK? GM: He yells at you. Bs: It’s better if we get back. Don’t make me deal

with problems now. GM: He gets angrier on his voice tone. Gabi: Okay, this shelf here that I got near, can I see something? (GM: You see what you saw earlier...) ...Many blood canisters, many different tools, many pieces of those crystals with less light. The Blacksmith puts his hand on the door and gets in. Bs: We are leaving The Doctor’s house now. L: Sorry, sorry, Mr. Blacksmith, I’m going. Bs: OK. (L: Perdón, perdón.) J: Liz! That wasn’t cool.... L: [Shush] T: Liz, look at the dude’s size, bruh. L: [shush] Gabi: I pass through the door. GM:

You leave, then. So you’re back at Holy Cradle. We’ll now take a five minutes break to get water, go to the bathroom, and then we’ll keep exploring Holy Cradle and the Lusidii when we get back. (Luba: Nice!) Felps: Okay. (GM: We’ll be back in five...) ...Hold on. (Calango: Fuck Off!) GM: [laughs] ...Hold on. (Calango: Fuck Off!) GM: [laughs] GM: We’re back, ladies and gentlemen, to The Secret in the Forest, thank you so much to everyone who’s watching, thank you so much for everyone who subscribes with your Prime today, thank you so much, so you can

use the chat and support in general, to have the emotes, a kiss! Thank you so much for the affection, for always being here supporting and watching the adventures I write and they develop. Ah… We’re back, ladies and gentlemen. (Luba: Felps, you’re one of us now!...) ...Ops, hey. (Gabi: Hey, hi.) Cellbit: Hey, Thiago, he... (Calango: Big T is enjoying...) ...His new hearing, he went to enjoy it. GM: He went to hear the wood’s birds... (Guaxi: Went on a walk.) GM: Perfect, we’ll wait for Thiago to get back, then. Oh, actually, we can get back to the

roleplay. Thiago… He went to look at the birds here. (Luba: He’s talking to some shelf in there.) GM: He’s talking to a tree. Well... (Calango: We look at him...) ...And he’s gesticulating with the tree. GM: You see then The Blacksmith leaving with Liz and Thiago... from inside The Doctor’s house. You can’t see The Doctor anymore, you can see that in the distance, behind the logs, you can… You are directly connected to the grove, right? At your side. You can see that he and The Nurse are arriving... At the grove, and the other people are going

to talk to them. And you see more people going down from up here, from that house with the orange roof, towards the grove too. Calango: Uh. J: Thiago-sensei, are you okay? T: Sorry. Ce: Big T? T: I was in a trance after I could hear, It was amazing, I’m feeling a thousand emotions. (Ce: We imagined it was that.) GM: You, Thiago, when you went to look the trees, you were hearing, you were enchanted by the sounds of the birds, the wind, the trees shaking, now with both ears, and you realized, while you were looking at

those birds, that there are birds you’ve never seen before. There are four-winged birds, there are birds with a really long and blue beak. Passed by, flying, many... Little birds, like, really tiny birds, the size of… What you thought were insects, but you realized when they flew by you, that they were all tiny birds. They’re animals you’ve never seen before. T: Hey guys, the fauna and flora from here is very diverse, huh? I’ve never seen these birds... (A and Ce: What do you mean?) GM: The trees, you realized they had many different colors, pink, yellow, and

all their branches are twisted, some logs grow like spirals. T: Bruh, that bird over there looks like a flying tortoise. GM: You see a bird that looks like a flying tortoise. Ce: Wow. (L: Oh my God…) Ce: It really looks like a tortoise. (T: Look at it...) ...How does a bird have a shell, man? (J: This place is awesome!) T: How does it fly with that shell? Look at it’s aerodynamics. Bs: Holy Cradle always graces us with... New and surprising creatures every time. (Hel: Every day there’s a new one.) Bs: It’s one of the best

traits of living here. J: Every day? Hel: Practically. Bs: Yeah, not every day, but we always see something new. Ce: Cool. Let’s continue the tour then, c’mon. A: Let’s go, we got to leave soon, I guess. Bs: Well, now we’ll go to a place I think you’ll like a lot, at least, it’s a place we like a lot. Bs: We’ll go to the tavern! (Ce: [Whispering] Maze.) Hel: Yay! (Ce: Oh…) GM: He starts to go towards it. Bs: Well, now that you’re here in Holy Cradle… GM: You don’t need to move, we can just leave

them still and when you arrive you don't need to… (Guaxi: Oh…) Bs: Now that you’re here at Holy Cradle, you probably will spend a long time there, because it’s there where everyone eats, talks and drinks. It’s one of the main points in the village. Ce: Cool, let’s go then. (GM: You’re walking...) all walking towards the tavern. (Calango: Oh…) Ce: Do you... Have beer? Bs: Of course we have beer, how couldn’t we? Ce: Because everything is different here, we’re not used to it. Do you have any differentiated drinks? (A: Yeah.) I’m a lover of… (Bs: Ah,

we sure have, I mean…) ...From where you came, it’ll probably taste… I don’t wanna blow the surprise. A: Buttery Butter is to drink or eat? How does it work? Hel: It’s both! It’s amazing! J: Wow. (Rakin: I wanna pull the guys close to whisper.) GM: Okay. Gabi: I get near Thiago. T: [Whispering] Guys, I think we shouldn’t eat nor drink anything here. A: So do I. (GM: You’re starting to get hungry already, just to warn you.) T: If you’re hungry... Hold your stomachs. Thirsty, hold the thirst. We’ll leave soon enough and we’ll go to eat

Letício’s llongetes. These we don’t eat. (A: Thank God I ate…) ...Thank God I ate 5 llongetes, I’m fine for now. (GM: True.) T: Nice. (GM: Arthur is less hungry...) ...Because he ate many of Letício's llongetes. Guaxi: I start to shake my belly like this, my tummy. (Calango: What belly? You got a six pack.) Guaxi: But it’s a tummy. Guaxi: I stretch it. You can stretch it, didn’t you know? GM: You’re walking or you stopped to talk? Luba: Walking. (GM: Okay.) GM: The Blacksmith then… You start to go towards this… to this big building, not a

big… It’s a big house, with this orange roof, and you already hear much chattering coming from inside, and some people are taking some boxes and leaving for the grove. Everyone always looks at you like: ???: Ah, welcome to Holy Cradle! GM: And keep going. This place’s door is a double door, really big. When you get in front of it, The Blacksmith gets up [stomps] he passes underneath it and gets in. You look inside, the place is really... Roomy, with many round tables with chairs, a counter more to the corner, a place fully made out of

wood, it’s well lit up by those same crystals you saw at Doctor’s house, let me just… Pull it. Here… Bam. You see, on the counter, two people talking, you also see some people standing around, this area, the place is really nice, it has many windows, illuminating the place. You see, at the, behind the counter there's a small, bit chubby, bald old man, not old, just a guy cleaning up some stuff, and in front of the counter you see another very big man, not as big as the Blacksmith, but he's also huge, a little more fat,

with grey skin, and he seems really dirty, full of calluses. You see, talking to him, a small man with a tuft, a dark grey skin, too, and some drawings forming an arch on his head. And they seem to be having fun and laughing together with The Tavern Keeper on the counter. Next to them, you see a lady who's taking some, some drinks to, to these two guys, the man and a younger guy who are talking at the table; and on the other side you see that Miner, that you met earlier at the Doctor's house, talking

to someone else who's wearing something like he is, they look dirty, and all of them have calluses and well defined muscles. You hear this coming from the counter: ???: [laughs] [slap] GM: He slaps the smaller guy’s shoulder, who: ???: Ouch! Calm down! Hm, okay. GM: And they are talking about something you don't know. They all look at the door when you go in, and the Blacksmith: Bs: Hey, yo. GM: And all of them immediately look at you, and just stare at you standing at the entrance. And the Blacksmith begins to [heavy steps] towards the counter.

Felps: I go after him. Gabi: This stare that the NPC’s give us is like, like an angry stare, an admired stare or they're just like “oh, new people?" GM: No, they all, they all look surprised but all of them have a happy expression when they see you. Calango: I just want to make an addendum, uh, I wanted to congratulate the artist who made the scenery, they're all really good, I'm impressed, man, the scenery is rocking. GM: This one was made by Thiago, Thiago Baltar. Awesome, awesome, awesome. He's great. Guaxi: A round of applause. Gabi: [laughs]

GM: And you see the Blacksmith arriving, and then you see this man that's almost his size, but chubbier and not so buff. Getting closer to him you already notice that he’s... that he’s almost 210cm tall, and he has stripes around his hand, and looks like the Blacksmith, but without the burn marks, because he’s not the Blacksmith, his whole body is very calloused. He looks at the Blacksmith. ???: Hey, Blacksmith! Who are those guys? GM: The Blacksmith replies: Bs: They are ignari who arrived here on their own, it seems... ???: Huh, what?! How did they arri..

Welcome to the Holy Cradle! I’m The Miner! [laughs] J: Thank you, I am the gymnast. GM: With that, when you look, the short old man is next to him. From up close, he has lots of wrinkles, but he's super well-dressed. He has the best-looking, best put together outfit. He looks at you and goes: ???: Uh, welcome to Holy Cradle… and what is that? GM: And he points at you guys. A: People. T: What do you mean "what", bro? ???: What are those clothes? T: Don't tell me you're the Stylist. Weaver: No, I am not, I

am the Weaver, and you need to... Ugh, immediately change your clothes now that you're in Holy Cradle. Ce: Oh, I need these. (Weaver: This is unacceptable! What even is this?!) GM: And he points to Cesar, who is wearing three different shirts. Ce: Oh I need them, it's cold as fuck. Weaver: Cold? It never gets cold in Holy Cradle. GM: He's right, it's not cold, you don't feel cold. Ce: Oh, but I'm scared I will. Weaver: Hm, cold, it's never cold in Holy Cradle. Don't worry. Hel: The weather is pretty nice. Ce: Oh, but I'd rather…

keep them on. A: Uh… I don't mean to interrupt... GM: Then you look at the short baldy behind the counter, he has black strip coming down from each eye, and he also has one on his head, he goes: ???: Oh, bah! Wouldn't you like to drink somehting? Welcome to Holy Cradle! GM: He sits the cup like that on the table. ???: I already poured the beer! Do you want some, Helper? Hel: Yup! J: I want to take a sip. A: No! [PSH] Joui! ???: Take one! Today is Trial Day, we have to celebrate! We are

already bringing the stuff and soon we're all going there, heh! J: Do you need help carrying the things, sir? Min: Uh, we're taking the last boxes now, haha! Don't worry! GM: That was the Miner. Hel: B-Blacksmith, Blacksmith. Weaver: Huh, one sec. GM: Then you see the Weaver, he leans closer to Joui and he puts his hand in the pocket to reach something. Luba: My pocket? GM: No, his pocket. Luba: Oh, okay. GM: He leans close, he pulls out a measuring tape and starts to take measurements... (A: Uh, excuse me.) GM: From your head to waist.

(A: Don't you think that's a little...) Weaver: Stand still! Stand still! Hm… J: OK! A: Isn't this kind of rude? (GM: He squeezes your shoulders and shake them.) Weaver: Uhm, ok. Turn around. GM: He bends down, measures your pants Weaver: Mmm, I know exactly what I'm gonna do for you. Your turn! GM: And he goes towards Thiago. T: Hey… J: I'm gonna get new clothes. GM: He starts measuring. He gives your shoulders a squeeze, and then: (Hel: He makes some great clothes!) Weaver: Mmm.... Mmm! He gives your shoulders a squeeze, and then: (Hel: He makes

some great clothes!) Weaver: Mmm.... Mmm! He measures your pants, goes from leg to hip, he: Weaver: Mmm, okay… GM: He lets go. Weaver: OK! Next, please? GM: The Blacksmith goes: Bs: Weaver, wouldn't it be better do this- (Weaver: Oh, shut up!) Let me do my work while you do yours, okay? Next! Luba: I give Arthur a little bump, like: J: Go, Arthur! A: Joui… GM: When you push Arthur, he looks at him. He rolls out his measuring tape, then when he's going to go touch Arthur's shoulders, he: Weaver: Mmm! GM: He starts to squeeze, then

he goes to his pecs. A: Uh.... Sir... Weaver: Mmm, I know exactly what to do here. Turn around please? A: Uh... Joui. J: Hi, I'm recording. It's okay. Weaver: Hurry up, I have a job to do here. A: Okay... Liz, take Joui's phone away! L: Not me! GM: When you turn around, he starts measuring your butt, he spends a long time measuring your butt, then he starts measuring your legs. A: Uh, sir... huh, sir? Sir! Weaver: Okay... Mmm... You! GM: He points to Cesar. Weaver: Oh, what is this? Ce: No. No. Calango: I put out

my hand. Ce: No need. I'm cool, thanks. Weaver: No, this right here is un... unforg... unthinkable is what this is. As long as I live in Holy Cradle you will not be wearing this! GM: Then he starts. Ce: No, I'm gonna wear whatever I want here, my guy, let's go. Hel: Relax, relax! He's just gonna make you some, you decide later! Ce: But I'm not wearing it, then. You still doing it? I wont wear. Weaver: Hah, I doubt that. Hel: His clothes are amazing! Calango: Okay, alright. J: Cesar, that is impolite, let him do it.

A: I think the impolite one is him, he barely knows us and talking shit about our clothes. GM: He measures your shirt, he looks at you… Weaver: Oh, I already know what I'm doing. GM: Then he turns to Liz. Weaver: And you… come here. GM: He goes: GM: He measures diagonally. He starts to do a lot more measurements than before. Weaver: Could you turn around, please? L: Uh, what do you need this for? GM: He goes... He... Weaver: Mmm... [mumbles] okay. OK. I just need... Just needed to make some mental notes, it's fine. Uh, Miner,

Tavern Keeper, Blacksmith, Helper, I'll meet you at the grove, and you guys… right around tomorrow, maybe, I'll have something ready for you. You will receive it at the Hotel, probably. Hihi, bye! L: Hotel? T: There's a hotel here? Hel: Bye! A: Oh, I don't remember saying we were going to stay. [nervous laugh] GM: He leaves, and on his way out, he grabs a beer that's on the table and leaves. He leaves. Hel: Blacksmith, Blacksmith. Bs: [sighs] Sorry about the Weaver, every time he sees a new ignarus he gets so excited that he will "get to

make another piece of art", this happens all the time. Tk: Oh, but the Blacksmith is good at what he does! Min: That's right, that's right! GM: Says the Miner. It's really hard to tell their voices apart, they're very similar. Felps: Yeah, true that. Gabi, Felps and Luba: [laughs] GM: All you can tell is that the Miner's voice is a little lower than the Tavern Keeper's. His is more raspy-like. Guaxi: I head "raspberry". Calango: I'm gonna sit down. I pull the chair and I sit. Tk: Uh, do y'all want anything before goin to the groove? Hel:

Me! That one! Tk: Buttery butter, right, Helper? Ah! Hel: Buttery butter, pour it up! Tk: How many do you want? Guaxi: I'm sitting here too. Gabi: Oh, I sit here, too. Hel: Oh, two, two, just to get started. Tk: Let's go. Hey, Waitress! GM: Then you see the lady holding the tray coming your way. Waitress: Huh? May I help? Welcome to Holy Cradle! Tk: Uh, ask the Cook to make me two buttery butters. Waitress: Okay. GM: And she walks around the counter and goes through this little door up here. She goes in a place you

can't see. Luba: I want to talk to the guy behind the counter. GM: The Tavern Keeper or the Miner? Luba: Tavern Keeper. J: M-Mister Tavern Keeper? Tk: Huh. What is it! Huh? J: How much is the beer? Tk: No, it has no price, you're in Holy Cradle! Did you really think we paid for stuff here?! You want a beer? (Guaxi: I look at Liz.) GM: [TSCHH] He's actually making these sounds with his mouth. Tk: [TSCHH] Here you go! Hel: Yeah! J: Liz, it's free! Gabi: I get up off my chair and walk towards Joui. T:

He's a minor Mr. Tavern Keeper! Don't let him drink that. Hel: A minor? Tk: What, he's a minor? T: Yeah, he's a minor. Tk: He clearly isn't. T: He is, look at this kid's face, man, no way; GM: Do you take a sip? Luba: I do, I take a sip. L: He can't drink beer. Luba: I take a sip. GM: Joui... Everyone, mute yourselfs. Everyone except The Helper. Gabi: Oh... Fine. GM: Joui. Luba: Hi. GM: This is the best thing you've ever drank in your entire life. It's insanely good. Like, you take it, and you...

Man, you don't even like beer that much, you never had one before. But this is so good. It's like, you can't even compare it to anything you've ever had before. It's really, really, good. I'm just confusing them. GM: You feel like you just drank the... If five chefs came together to make one glass of beer for you, this is what you'd get, the best chefs in the world. This beer is really amazing. Luba: I'm just distracting them. GM: Yeah. L: Joui? Calango: Hello? I'm back. It's back. J: Liz. Liz... L: Joui. J: This... Luba: I’m

about to tear up, okay? J: This is the most delicious thing that I drank in my whole life. Hel: Oh yes! Tk: And you didn't even try buttery butter yet! Hel: Damn! When they try buttery butter! J: Try it, Liz-senpai, try it! Gabi: I get it from Joui's hand and I spill it all on the floor. J: No! Tk: The fuck?! GM: The Miner grabs your arm when you do that. He takes it and says: Min: What was that? That was so disrespectful! (T: Poor Waitress, dude.) Min: Someone will need to clean this! If you

don't want to drink, just don't. (Hel: What a waste!) A: She- She's kinda mean. I'm sorry about that. Min: Ignari are always like this. Guaxi: I walk past her and I say: A: Good one. Gabi: I want to grab Joui's face and check his eyes. GM: You are now looking at him. (J: Liz, that was really impolite!) T: Lemme grab a cloth. Where can I get one? GM: He gives you the cloth he was holding and the Tavern Keeper walks around. Tk: Excuse me, excuse me, excuse me. What happened?! GM: He starts wiping the floor.

L: Joui, what are you doing? T: She had a spasm, man. J: It's really, really good. L: Joui, stop! You have to stop! Something very bad is gonna happen if you keep acting like this. GM: The Blacksmith looks at you. Bs: Uh… We are here. We're not monsters. You are scared of Holy Cradle… GM: He lays his hand on you and he's very strong. His hands are the size of your head. He turns to you. Bs: I know you might be scared. But don't desrespect the Tavern Keeper's work because of that. If you don't want

to eat, just don't. One day you'll understand. But don't be disrespectful, and don't cause stress in Holy Cradle. No one here has anger, hate or any bad feelings for each other. You are new here, you don't understand yet. But when you fell a part of Holy Cradle, you will get what I'm saying. L: I don't want to feel like a part of it. That's not what I'm here for. Bs: And what are you here for? GM: He looks deep into your eyes. L: I'm here to find my friends and take them home. Bs: They are

home if they are here. Gabi: Can I try to take his hand off of my shoulder? GM: He took it off while talking. T: Lemme help out with the cleaning, Mr. Tavern Keeper. GM: He already cleaned it, it wasn't much. She spilled it, he wiped it. After that, the Waitress comes out of the kitchen with two blocks of butter with melted butter on top. Making a yellow-y melt with foam around it. She brings it: Waitress: Here you go! GM: And she puts it on the counter in front of the Helper. Hel: Yay! Here we go!

Does anyone want to try it? Thank you very much, Waitress. Thank you. A: Stop it! GM: The Tavernkeeper gets back behind the counter. Tk: Uh, well. Uh! Hey, Miner. Min: What? Tk: Take this to the grove and we're going. Min: Oh, You take it and I'll go there later. I'm gonna keep these guys company. Tk: Alright. GM: He picks up the box and he leaves. He passes by these guy's table and says: Tk: Hey, let's go to the grove, everyone is going there. I'm taking the beer, come with me. GM: They go: ???: Okay, okay.

GM: When they pass you guys, they say: ???: Oh, welcome to Holy Cradle! GM: And all of them leave the tavern. ???: Oh, welcome to Holy Cradle! GM: And all of them leave the tavern. With that, the two miners that were here also start to get up and leave to go to the grove together. T: Hey, Mr Blacksmith. Can you do me a favor? Can you apologize to the Gatekeeper later? Because the people over here are cool, dude. Bs: I... don't worry about it, we're used to it. Lusidii normally- Ignari, when they first arrive, they

get a little scared, that's why... the Pilgrim that brings them prepares them and explains about the town a little bit, so they don't get scared and scenes like this one never happen. But don't worry, we get it. (T: It's cool.) You can count on us to help out on anything you need. GM: Then The Miner says: Min: But what is it with y'all finding the town on your own, with a map? I'm curious about that, nobody comes to Holy Cradle by accident. A: No one said it was an accident, sir. We told you that we

followed the trail and we got here. Min: Exactly! That's what I want to know about, just curious. A: It all led us here, there's no secret. Min: "It all" what? A: Us looking for our friends. Bs: It seems they were looking for... Do you remember that group, uh… Those people that tried to go into the maze and vanished? Min: Oh, yeah. Right, about a month ago, yeah. Bs: So, they're apparently looking for them, they're their friends or something like that. Half our people believes that they made it to the center, the other half thinks that

they just left. Min: They definitely left, right? [laugh] Bs: I think the same way. Hel: Uh-huh. J: Well, we couldn't find them out there, so that's why we came looking for them in here too. Is there some type of tale, maybe a prophecy, about what happens when someone finds the center of the maze? Bs: Uh, the only prophecy we have is... Well, not really a prophecy, it's just a little story we tell the kids. It says the Five Guardians were the only ones who did it and they are in there. Waiting. J: But what are

they doing? Bs: We say, "go in there and find out, heh!" [laugh] GM: And the Miner goes: Min: [laughs hardly] T: Then let's go in there. (Hel: [laughs]) Bs: Well... A: So we're going to the hotel, huh? Bs: Are you not hungry? Well, now the Tavern Keeper's gone, y'all hurt his feelings a little bit. Hel: There's still some buttery butter left! (A: No!) J: I want to have the butter! A: I'm good. A: [sighs] Hel: Come here, come. (L: Joui… ) A: Aw, man… T: Hey, let me ask you, if we still want to go

back home... GM: He gives you one buttery butter, it has a little spoon on the side. Hel: And you can choose, you could drink it, eat it, it's up to you. Luba: I want to take a sip. GM: A sip? Okay. You eat it... Like this. Calango: "Everyone, mute" [mockingly]. GM: And… No need to mute. (Calango: [laughs]) GM: You... It's kind of the same feeling you had with the beer, but now it's butter. J: Guys, it's really good. Hel: I told you! It's really good! It's amazing! J: Yes! And I agree! Thiago-sensei, do you want

to taste it? Min: Well, now that you tasted buttery butter... (T: I'm good.) Min: We can say you officially are part of Holy Cradle! We welcome you! J: Thanks. Min: The Tavern Keeper's buttery butter is incredible. Sorry, the Cook's. GM: Then, when he talks about The Cook, you see coming from the kitchen door, a guy with his little apron and a head cloth. (Calango: Letício!) GM: And he comes out with a few buttery butters on a tray, and a few other foods. Let me get him here. Calango: Letício! Please come in. Gabi, Luba, Guaxinim and

Felps: [laugh] GM: And he's just a guy wearing a bandana on his head, his skin is a very dark gray, he has only two stripes, and he just walks by you and says: Cook: Ah! Welcome to Holy Cradle! GM: And he takes it back, All the way across the tavern. (Hel: Hey!) T: Hey, Mr. Blacksmith. Bs: Yeah, what is it? T: If we want to go back to our place, and then come back tomorrow to chat, would that be okay? Do we have to stay at this hotel? Bs: Uh... Whatever you prefer, you're free to

go. Bs: But we have a very cozy hotel. (T: So, should we go back?) Bs: You can stay here. The Hotelier would love to have you as guests. T: No, it's cool. (A: Yeah, but we live close by.) T: We live pretty close by, we can get there in just 25 mins, drive on the highway, on the 33, turn left, we're home, man. It's chill. J: I would just like to talk to the Farmer about the symbol before we go, if that's possible. Bs: Uh-huh, yeah. She was the next stop on our tour, before heading

back. (Ce: What about the statues?) Bs: Sorry? Ce: The statues. I was curious about them. (Bs: Oh, I thought the Gatekeeper told you.) We can take a look in the maze too. You're in Holy Cradle, you're the bosses here, all I'm doing is explaining, that's my job as the Blacksmith. GM: Then The Miner looks at the Blacksmith; Min: Well, I'm going... I'm heading to the grove. And if y'all, uh, if y'all need anything, I'm the Miner. I work in the mines. See you. GM: And he gets up. (J: Thank you.) GM: [heavy steps] He leaves.

Luba: Uh, where's the Tavern Keeper? GM: He went to the grove already. Luba: Ah, ok. GM: The Waitress is next to you. (Calango: Are these the crystals?) GM: Huh? Calango: Is this like a chimney thing, with fire crystals in it? GM: Uh, where? Calango: Here in the corner. Felps: Bottom left corner. GM: Yes, these are fire crystals. (Gabi: A fireplace. ) Calango: OK, I want to touch one to see if... GM: OK. Calango: If I can hold it. GM: You see a more apart crystal... It'll take time to cross, does somebody want to act in

the meantime? Luba: I want to keep drinking the beer. [laugh] GM: OK, you're eating. (Gabi: I'm leaning on the counter next to Joui. ) GM: Even though you're not eating much, you feel pretty full. Besides this being very tasty, you feel like it's filling you up pretty well too. Calango: No saltpeter on the food. Luba: I want to look into Liz's eyes. J: Liz-senpai, I know that you're worrying about me, but... you can trust me. Take a sip. L: I'm not gonna do that, Joui. J: OK. Could you maybe lend me that notepad where you

write stuff down? I just... I don't have mine on me right now, and I want to write down my feelings, while I... L: Uh-huh. J: Thank you. Gabi: I hand it over with a disapproving look, but I still do. Luba: Master, can I write something without you knowing? GM: No. Luba: Fine. Luba: I want only Liz to know. (Guaxinim, Calango and Gabi: [laugh]) Guaxi: We can mute. GM: Yeah. Everyone mute except for me. GM: I can mute the stream too, if you like. (Calango: I'm mut- ) Luba: No, no... OK. GM: OK. I'm muting the

stream, then. (Gabi: The stream?) Gabi: Cool. (Calango: I'm mut-) GM: Done. Now they can't hear you, just me. They could read your lips. Is that it? Gabi: Okay. (GM: Okay, done.) Calango: I'm unmute. GM: You can unmute, yeah. Rakin: I'm back. Luba: Guaxi isn't. Guaxi: Calango doing this to unmute, man. [laugh] Felps: How? Guaxi: He did this. GM: Hey, rockers! [brazilian meme] Guaxi: Hey, rockers! Calango: Remember what we muted?! That's gone! GM: That’s gone! Unmute! Unmute! Unmute! Felps: Unmute and unmute! (GM: Speaking of, Cesar.) You get to the crystals. Do you just pick them up

with your bare hands? Calango: I want to pick a little crystal that's separated, yes. Calango: I want to touch first. GM: Yeah, you touch it, you feel that it's really hot, but it won't burn you. It feels like you're touching a led light that's been on for a while, it's pretty hot. Uh, if you hold it for too long, it's going to start burning your hand. You feel it's just a small crystal that emits an amount of heat that's pretty big for its size. Calango: Uh-huh. Okay. (GM: He emits a lot of light, your hand

gets very red.) Calango: Right, I go back, I toss it in with the others and I go back. (GM: When you toss it, it does a little [PFF].) A little explosion of light, when they touch each other. Calango: Okay, I go back. Gabi: I want to go up to the Blacksmith and talk to him. GM: The Blacksmith's helping the... Waitress, who's organizing some stuff... Ce: Hey, Thiago! You stole my seat, dude. T: Oh, you snooze, you lose. Ce: Aw, man. (Guaxi: [laugh] Damn! ) Ce: Snooze?! (Guaxi: I do this at Thiago.) Ce: I went over

there on the chimney. Crap. Guaxi: [laugh] GM: What's The Helper doing? Helper? Felps: I'm looking at them, drinking buttery butter. (GM: You're drinking with Joui, yeah?) You see him writing something for Liz, he hands over the thing... Felps: But I'm chilling here, enjoying my buttery butter. GM: The Blacksmith is helping the Waitress, helping her around, and he goes: Bs: I can wrap things around here, you can go to the grove, you don't miss the party. Waitress: Oh, thank you, Blacksmith! GM: And she stops. (L: [clears throat]) Waitress: I'm going. Welcome to Holy Cradle, y'all! GM:

And she leaves. L: [clears throat] Hey, Blacksmith. GM: He's doing that, and he: Bs: Huh, ah. Can I help you? L: Uh… Can I help you around with finishing whatever you're doing? Bs: Sure, feel free. I'm just... getting some things done since the Tavern Keeper left a little earlier. L: Uh… I wanted to talk to you while I help you with that stuff, uh… I'm sorry for how I acted before. We came here prepared for the worst, you know? We were thinking that our friends were dead, and what I found, finding all these happy and

jolly people, was very different from what I was expecting, so that was a big shock. But thank you for welcoming us. Bs: I understand. Uh, alright. I know, I remember my experience trying to understand Holy Cradle for the first time. Back then, I had… I met a Pilgrim who explained exactly what was going on, which made things easier. But I understand that it's a shock for you. And I know that you might suspect that... That this has something to do with the devil, or, I don't know what y'all's religions are, but I assure you, we...

We are just a village. We just live here. Bs: Please try to be understanding. ( L: Uh, sorry for asking,) I don't know if you're going to be able to answer this, but... Where were you from? Before you came here. Bs: I was from Carpazinha. L: Oh, cool. Did you have a job there? Bs: I worked with metallurgical and... used some... tools. I think that's why The Pilgrim picked me, she needed a person. L: Ah, interesting. Thank you! And sorry for what happened earlier. Bs: It's okay, I get it. And, uh… Liz, right? L: Yes.

Bs: You will learn to… you will learn to... understand Holy Cradle. I know what you're probably thinking right now, I've been there. A: Mister Blacksmith. L: Right. Thank you, Blacksmith. (Bs: Hi!) Bs: How can I help? (A: Uh, I have a question.) A: Uh, we can leave the same way we came in, right? That's what you said. (Bs: From Holy Cradle?) A: Yes. (Bs: Uh, of course, everyone...) A: Why do these animals that we saw and the monsters that come out night, why do we never see them out… there? Bs: Holy Cradle is special in

many ways. Not only, y'all probably noticed, maybe, since you're recent Ignari, that... the plants here aren't the same as the ones in the outside world, the animals aren't the same, the food isn't the same. (J: They absolutely aren't. ) Bs: And the night is not the same either. A: Oh, okay I think I get it. Guaxi: And I turn to Thiago and say: A: I don't get it at all. T: Man... A: Where is Cesar, dude? Guaxi: Oh, he's already here, huh? [chuckles] (GM: Cesar is back, yeah,) And the Waitress left. Ce: Let's go to

the farm, then? T: Damn, people around here are nice, huh? Ce: Too nice, Big T. T: Yeah, I was thinking that too. (Ce: But, you know.) You could put lipstick on a pig, Big T... T: Yeah, and it kills two birds with one stone. Ce: Yeah, not all that glitters is gold. T: Yeah, dude. [chuckles] Ce: Should we get going then? Bs: Did you guys finish it all up here? Didn't you want to eat anything? J: I'm satisfied, thanks. T: I’m fine. L: Is there some buttery butter left? (T: Thank you for your kindness.) T:

Hey, Liz… Bs: Ah… I can get in there and see. T: Hey, Liz... Hel: He ate everything. GM: He goes [heavy steps] and passes by you. Gabi: I just wink for Thiago. Guaxi: I see her winking and I do this. GM: He opens the kitchen and you hear [bell ringing] and some kitchen noises - things falling and stuff. He’s really big and he’s trying to… You hear him trying to find something. Will you do something? T: Hey, guys… L: Uh... T: I wanna say something really quick. GM: You finished your buttery butter, Helper. Felps: Yeah,

yeah, I finished it. T: I just don’t want you to forget, guys. (J: I think there’s a little left of mine.) Luba: Can I offer her? J: Liz… GM: Of course you can. Felps: You can. J: Liz, there’s some of mine left… L: Uh... Was it good? J: A lot. L: I’ll have some, then. Gabi: I take it and I taste buttery butter. A: Liz… GM: When you taste it... You taste a little and it's really good, like, really really good, it's one of the best things you've ever tasted. It looks like all the best

chefs in the world got together to make this special dish for you. It’s really good. It’s not suspiciously good, it just seems really nice, something you’ve never tasted before. Uh... And it tastes just like you like. T: Hey, Liz, that’s not what a wink fucking means! A: Ah, you winked at- Hel: Did you like it? Felps: I ask looking at you really happy, really, really, happy. L: I loved it, thanks. It’s really tasteful. Hel: Yay! I told you it was good. It’s my favorite. L: It’s weirdly tasteful. GM: It’s not weirdly tasteful. Gabi: It isn’t?

It’s just tasteful? GM: No, it’s just tasteful. Gabi: But I think a buttery butter being tasteful weird. GM: It just looks like it’s really tasteful. It doesn't seems to be weird for you. Gabi: I just think it’s really weird a buttery butter being so tasteful. That’s it. A: Helper? Hel: Uh, hi? A: Have you ever eaten Leticio’s llonguetes? GM: You see the Blacksmith getting out, some stuff falls behind him, like... Closing the door, kinda looking around, “no one saw it”. Bs: Oh! GM: He has a bag in his hands. Bs: I found some leftovers from...

what the Waitress was taking to the grove, if anyone wants it, it’s a sandwich, a pork sandwich. T: Aw, man… Can I take it to go, Mr. Blacksmith? Bs: Sure. T: Give it to me then GM: He gives you. The little bag is super tiny on his hand, but it has… You see that it has three to four sandwiches inside. T: Let me take it to go, then, please. Hel: Those are good too. GM: He puts it on the table in front of Cesar. Rakin: I take the bag to go. Ce: Take it, Big T.

Bs: So... Uh, do you want to eat here or do you wanna go to the farm, the grove? Ce: Let's go to the farm. I’m curious, my anxiety is attacking here… I wanna see all the things. (A: Me too.) T: And the mist. (Hel: Blacksmith?) Bs: Spill it. Hel: The girl tried buttery butter and she loved it! Bs: Ah-ah, you liked it? L: Yeah, man, it was awesome. Bs: Told ya you were going to learn to understand Holy Cradle! Hel: I told ya! L: It’s pretty good, really. (Hel: It’s really good!) L: I didn’t expect

that. Bs: I told ya! [Laughs] L: Please, greet the Cook for me later. Bs: Ah, sure thing. We greet them every day. They know they’re really good. Everyone here is really good on what they do. Well... GM: He seems happier; he walks with a bit more confident posture. Bs: Ah, let’s go then. I can show it to you, I gotta talk to the Farmer anyway. And you can check whatever with that weird symbol. A: Fine. L: Great. J: Thanks, Mr. Blacksmith. A: Did you answer me, Helper? About Letício’s llonguetes? GM: He leaves. Felps: Right when

you asked me that, the Blacksmith came. A: Helper… Have you ever eaten Letício’s llonguetes? Hel: No… Guaxi: I get up kinda pissed off looking seriously at him. A: So you’ve never eaten the tastiest thing in the world. Guaxi: Then I turn, pissed off. Felps: You really turned. Hel: Uh... OK, I guess... Okay. Felps: Then I just... J: Don’t mind about him, Helper. Hel: OK. It's fine. It's alright. GM: You leave the tavern. The Blacksmith closes the door because no one is still inside, he [door closing] closes the door, and you’re back at Holy Cradle. Here

we go, I’ll put you on the map… Here… The Cook is going. Ah, you see now that the village is looking pretty empty, since there’s no one... Everyone is going to the grove. Then, the Blacksmith… Let me put him up here. And the Helper again. The Blacksmith is going straight up, and when you leave the tavern, you see that it has a view to one of those big statues ahead. Gabi: How does it look like? GM: The statue is… Actually, you can’t see in much detail because you’re a bit far away, you can get close

to it. But you see that it’s a faceless statue, of a still man. Without any specific details, it’s just a man. Calango: Does he wear anything specific or it’s just ordinary stuff? (GM: You get close to it.) You analyze the details, you see… The Blacksmith realizes you’re going to the statue instead of the… Let me just put the Blacksmith here. Instead of the way he was headed. He lets you go because he imagined you’d go there. (Rakin: Damn!) Luba: [singing Attack on Titan theme song] GM: He goes towards you. Bs: Uh... I imagined you’d get

close one day, since you said you didn’t yet. Hel: The statue… (Bs: That’s one of the Guardian’s statues.) L: Er… All the statues look the same? (Bs: There are five around the maze.) Uh... Uh... We... Three are like this and two look more feminine. L: Oh... Cool. And... Any of them carries something... specific? Carries... I don’t know, something that may differentiate each one? Can you distinguish the masculine statues from the feminine ones? Bs: Ah, you’re seeing it there, it is... It's a statue completely… It just looks like a man. Hel: It just is. Gabi: Master,

does it… (Bs: There’s an entrance here.) If you wanna try to venture into the Endless Maze. L: Big T? (T: I get near the entrance, to look inside.) Ce: How long does it take to get back, if- For example, he gets in, will he get back... There’s a specific period or… not? A: An average. (Bs: What do you mean?) He gets back when he wants to. Ce: Yeah, no, because we can put him inside there just to see how long it takes for him to get back. If he'll take too long, he wont go in,

you know? Bs: He can go in there and stay as long as he wants, and he can leave whenever he wants. The Maze, in that perspective, is somehow like the Holy Cradle. Ce: Understood. Rakin: What do I see looking inside? (Ce: You better not, Big T.) T: Just a quick peek. (GM: When you look inside the Maze...) you see just a straight corridor, with two hedged clivers that go straight, then they turn to both sides and you don’t see anything more, there’s a lot of mist inside. Rakin: Do I feel anything different close to the

mist or…? GM: You don’t feel anything. (Hel: Do you want me to go in there? I can go!) T: Bro… Ce: Go, then. Go, then, Helper. Hel: Okay, I’m going. Felps: Then I get in. GM: You see the Helper going with a lot of confidence. He goes in, in the middle of the mist. He stops. Do you turn or do wait for them? Felps: I get in and say; Hel: Does anyone wanna come with me? T: I’ll go. L: Big T? (J: I’ll go too.) Hel: Will you come? Ce: No. J: I will. A: Ah,

everybody is going, Liz, I guess we gotta go too. Ce: I won’t go (L: I’ll stay with Cesar.) A: Cesar went. Oh, you’re staying here? (Ce: I’m here...) I won’t go. A: I’ll stick with you guys. Hel: Okay, do you wanna go? C’mon! (GM: OK.) GM: So, who got in, keep unmuted and who didn’t, mute. Calango: I’ll mute. GM: Great. The three of you get in the Endless Maze. You take the first turn, and you see that the turn, it goes- The corridor keeps going in a circular way. Then there are two entrances to the

side and other two upfront. To the sides again. And a wall. T: Guys... my dad always told me that if I got lost in a maze, all I had to do was follow the right wall. Sooner or later, I'd find the center or the exit. Hel: Yeah, it works, it works here, too. But here it’s actually much easier, but it's up to you. Do you want to keep going? You can follow me or one of you goes upfront. T: Why not the right wall? (J: You can guide us, I think that’s better.) Hel: I’ll guide,

okay… Felps: What do we see in front of us? GM: Everyone but the Helper mute… Hold on. Let me just do something... Felps: OK... Ah, okay. GM: Is everyone on mute? Rakin didn’t mute. Felps: Yeah, he didn’t mute, but he isn’t listening. GM: Okay, I’ll just mute him just to be sure. Felps: OK. GM: Okay... Uh... Right. We’ll… Felps: You'll mute for the public too, right? GM: Yes. [talking on mute] GM: Let me unmute. Done. Felps: Okay... Felps: Luba as well. GM: Ready? Hello? You can unmute. Felps: It’s just… Yeah… that’s it. Luba: Sorry, sorry,

sorry. GM: Everyone but Thiago and Joui keep on mute. Guaxi: Ah… Luba: My bad, Guaxi. Felps: OK, done. GM: OK. Keep going. Hel: So you want me to go? T: Bro, I think you should follow the right wall. Follow my dad’s advice. Hel: OK, let’s go. Felps: We start going to the middle, since we got in... GM: Wait, I got a serious problem with my earphones, let me just fix it... I can’t hear you. Luba: He isn’t listening, go, go. GM: Hello, say something. Rakin: Set the maze on fire! Hello? GM: OK, keep going. (Felps:

I said that...) Since we... (Rakin: I got a lighter!) Felps: Since we are at the outside layer we start to get in. GM: Yes. Felps: We turn to the... To the right to get closer to the middle. Depends on... GM: Yeah. You’re getting in and following the Helper, right? Felps: Yeah, that’s it. Luba: Yes. GM: You see the Helper, he’s going deep, he does many turns, uh... He gets in, he turns to the left, and the whole maze appears to be circular, so he keeps going in, turns to the left, to the right… he does

many turns, you already got lost… I mean, roll a Wisdom test, both of you. Luba: Sheesh, where are my dice? Here, sorry. Rakin: Damn, I rolled an Extreme. GM: Thiago, he... Still can keep a… a good memory, kind of. (Luba: I failed.) GM: Maybe you could go back from where you came. You make many turns, so you get lost at some point. Felps: We spent a lot of time in there, right? Doing… (GM: What?) Felps: We spent a lot of time walking in the maze, right? GM: Yeah. How much time did you wanna spend walking,

Helper? Felps: Well, I walked... I don’t know, 20 minutes maybe? GM: OK. Felps: That depends on the two that are with me, of being with me the whole time. GM: Yeah, they’re following you the whole time. Felps: If they wanted 20 minutes, that’s what I mean. Rakin: What was the info there? GM: 2-Wait. I can't hear you at all. My earphones died for some reason. Let me see if these ones work. Luba: Test, test. GM: Say something. Felps: Hello, hello. Rakin: Hello? Rakin: Hello? GM: Man, what’s going on with these earphones? Luba: But is it

just Felps? Felps: No, you’re following me and I’m talking about how much time I…. Rakin: No, he’s talking about the earphones. Luba: About the earphones. Felps: Ah, okay, about the earphones. I guess it’s everyone. (GM: I've got a serious problem here.) Felps: Everyone probably. Rakin: Hello. GM: I can hear you really low. Hell, bro. I’ll move on like this, I’ll hear you really low though. Felps: Okay. Rakin: Fine. Rakin: Ow, what relevant info I got rolling an extreme in Wisdom? GM: You just could remember the… you kinda remember the way you were following, but at

a certain point you got lost, because he walked for a long time. Then it's up to you. You realize he's walking a lot and not getting anywhere. At a certain point, Thiago, you realize he should... You feel you are... (Felps: I’m just going and saying;) Hel: Hey, you see? It’s a maze. GM: You should have gone back, but you didn't. You've already been here, but it's not the same. Felps: I turn where should have a wall, but there's a path. Rakin: I wanna roll a Listen test to see if I hear something. I was looking

forward to this moment. GM: Go on, you don't have a penalty. [laughing and clapping] Rakin: Success. GM: You sort of hear the wind, the leaves moving. Nothing else. And this whole place has a really strong mist, you’re always really close to one another because there’s always a really strong mist in the whole maze. Felps: Yeah, here we gotta walk a lot to... To see the walls, we gotta get really close. GM: Yeah. Felps: We can’t see much farther away. Luba: Do I see anything on the ground? GM: The ground is grass. Luba: Just grass? OK.

GM: Yes. Luba: OK. The walls are normal, just wall... (Rakin: Guys...) GM: The walls are made of grass too, of bushes. T: Hey, Mr. Guide, not wanting to attack you at all, I completely trust your guiding abilities in this phenomenal maze, but I think we should stick to the right wall and keep on it. Hel: Do you-Do you wanna keep going… Do you wanna find the exit? T: Yeah, I think it's better, right? We’re not getting anywhere. Helper: Ok, it’s fine, I just wanted to show the maze, we can leave then. T: Let's follow the

right wall, no? Try to use this tactic to see where we get. We’ll always get somewhere new. GM: Not exactly, no. He was following what seemed to be random to you, but he was confident, as if he knew a certain way to go. Felps: I was just following a path “trying to find the center”, just to show more of the maze, but… So… You… You tell me you wanna go back? Rakin: No, I want to follow right here, following the right wall we’ll get somewhere new. if we follow the right, we’ll always get somewhere new.

Felps: But as we’re following... we were kind of following right, we got to places we already had been, but it was different, got it? Rakin: Got it. Felps: The maze was different, the whole time. J: Are you two okay? Helper: What do you mean? T: I’m fine. Helper: I’m great. T: Are you okay? (Helper: Are you?) J: I am, but you keep talking about J: following the right wall. T: No, if you touch the right wall and follow it, you’ll always get somewhere new in the maze. Helper: I’ve heard the right wall tactic, but this

one is different, it doesn't work here. T: This fucking maze is really crazy, I wanna leave, let’s flee, for God’s sake, we’re not getting anywhere. Let’s leave, the crew is waiting for us, doing I don’t know what. Felps: So I’ll turn… I’ll turn, we turn 180°, we go back and in the first right turn, there’s the exit. GM: Yeah. When you decide to go back, you look behind and you come back by the first... you were walking for a long time, you definitely weren't at the exit, and when you turn back and make the first

turn, you’re see up ahead Liz, Cesar, and the Blacksmith waiting for you. T: Hey, Joui. J: Yes? (GM: And Arthur.) T: This guide is playing with us. [whisper] J: Huh? T: He’s fooling us. [whisper] J: I don’t think so. (Helper: What? Huh?) Helper: Did you say something? T: We’re fine. J: Everything’s alright. T: I was saying that you were an excellent guide, bro. Helper: Ah, OK. Nice. J: Helper? Helper: Yes? J: I noticed... (GM: You begin…) GM: ...you begin to walk in a straight line. Felps: Yeah, I was leaving. Luba: No, I wanna talk to

the Helper. GM: Ah, OK, you want to… OK. Felps: Oh, OK. Gabi: Can we… Hello? GM: You see, just to describe what you were seeing from the outside… You see the three of them go in, the Helper, Thiago and Joui got in, they spent some time, they stayed there for a long time and the Blacksmith was like: Bs: Let’s see how long they take inside. GM: They stayed there like, it’s been around 10 minutes and nothing, no sign of them, and suddenly you see them turning a corner and coming back the way they went in.

Calango: The 3 of them are coming back? A: There they are, look. GM: Sorry? Calango: All 3 are coming back? Calango: We see all 3? (GM: Yeah.) J: Helper? Ce: Look, I guess they’re coming back. Fuck, they took very long. J: Helper? Helper: Yes? Say it. J: When we arrived at Holy Cradle, we noticed that the Gatekeeper had really good hearing. Helper: Hm…? J: Do you have it too? Helper: Hearing? Ah, I don’t know. J: You... ...Do you hear from really far away? Helper: No, I guess it’s normal. Helper: I think. (J: Ah, OK. It’s

'cause...) J: ...I found that really cool. Helper: Ah, OK. I see. (J: Thanks.) Helper: Do you hear from far away? J: What? Helper: Do you? Why the question? I didn’t get it. T: Now I do. (J: No, just curious.) Helper: OK then, no, okay. Felps: We keep heading to the door. GM: OK, so you see… They get out of the maze and meet the rest of the group. Ce: What happened? You took too goddamn long. Liz: You took a long time, huh? (A: Did you find…) T: We didn’t take long, it was quick. Helper: I

just showed them.. (A: You spent 2 hours there.) Ce: You spent 2 hours. (T: Lemme tell you...) T: ...not wanting to talk bullshit, but Mr. Guide, you… Helper: What? T: It’s complicated, huh? (GM: Guys,...) GM: ...I’ll take an extra break because I need to fix my earphones. Your voices are really low, I can barely understand. GM: So I’ll take a 2 minutes break just to fix the audio, I dunno what's going on and we’ll get back, OK? It’s just technical difficulties. GM: I’ll be back in 2... a 3 minutes break just so I can fix

this… I don’t know what’s going on, okay? Calango: Aight. (GM: Hold on.) [break] "We'll be right back!" GM: I made some emergency adjustments here, I guess everything should be alright anyway... GM: Hello? (Calango: Holy Cradle…) Calango: I’m pissed bro, fuck off… Oh. GM: Hello, hello, everything alright? Guaxi: We were chatting. Luba: How's it doing? GM: OK, I can hear you now, I put you in the sound box, so you won't be able to hear the music GM: from my little layout. (Calango: Aw…) GM: But it’s only for emergencies. (Gabi: No, it’s fine.) GM: It came

back to how it was. Guaxi: Cancel today then. GM: It happens,... I don’t know exactly what caused it, I don’t know what the issue is, but now we’re back to normal. Luba: OK. (GM: Moving on...) ...from where we stopped, you saw… Liz really sleepy apparently, and the… GM: And the Helper and Joui... (L: They took too long, huh?) GM: ...they come back, Cesar does too. Calango: What Cesar? Cesar was already here, dammit. Guaxi: He comes back from his sleep. Calango: Cesar never got in, he can't come back. GM: Joui, the Helper and Thiago, coming back

from the center of the maze. Ce: Damn, it took you 2 hours. (Guaxi: It’s Thiago.) Gabi: Thiago is at the center Gabi: talking to the spirits. (GM: Thiago is still in the maze.) Rakin: There was a shelf there. J: Ah, it wasn’t 2 hours, Cesar. Ce: It was. (J: We just…) A: No, we were kidding. J: Ah, OK. I thought there was something related to time there, I was already tripping. A: Yeah… Ce: But what’s up? What is inside there aside from plants? J: It exactly what we expected... exactly what they said would be there,

J: the maze. (T: Bro…) J: Ah… (Liz: Plants?) J: Just grass on the ground, the walls were normal and it was really easy to get in and out actually. Ce: But you got in... (T: Lemme tell ya.) Ce: ...wandered around a bit seeking the center and you found the exit by accident, is that it? J: No, we found the exit because... (T: No.) J: ... the Helper guided us in a way... It was normal, it was good. T: I’ll tell ya something for real, I was walking there, we walked, walked, then out of nowhere I

said “Bro, I wanna go back”. 5 seconds later we found the exit. T: I guess the Helper was making a fool of us. Bs: Now you know about the Endless Maze I was talking about, this happens to everyone, no one knows how to get to the center, but from the moment you want to leave, you turn your back and leave. Helper: It’s easy to leave. You leave whenever you want. Ce: It’s hard to get to the center right, Helper? Helper: Exactly, that’s… (A: But...) Helper: ...complicated. A: Didn’t you say the team that came entered and

disappeared? Helper: About that I don’t... Bs: Yeah, exactly, Bs: that’s what we found weird. (Helper: It's what they say.) Bs: But what we believe is that they probably got in, stayed at the maze trying to find the center, and then they left during the night when there was nobody in the streets. A: But don’t monsters attack at night? (Liz: Wait...) Bs: Exactly. Liz: Let me see if I got it. So you get in the maze, you walk, walk, walk, and when you turn back, the exit… from the way you came in L: is still there?

It’s like... (Bs: Exactly.) Helper: Yeah. (L: Hm...) Ce: Blacksmith, one question I should've asked before and I didn’t. You know Carpazinha, you told me you’re familiar with the world Ce: outside Holy Cradle. (Bs: Of course.) Ce: When you leave this place you keep this skin... this greyish skin tone and these strips on the face? Because if you do… we would notice it, right? Bs: Ah, I for one never left Holy Cradle, but, uh… I guess the Helper can show it to you better. Felps: Then... Rakin: Hey… I wanna lit up a cigarette facing the maze’s

door, kinda hidden, y’know? (GM: OK.) Rakin: Leave the lighter lit up… Rakin: ...Leave it lit up for 5 seconds near the door of the maze before... GM: You light up the lighter near the maze’s door? Rakin: Just for a bit. 2 seconds; (GM: When you do this…) [Tick] You see from inside the maze, the mist [Vuum] it leaves from inside at once towards you, like it was the wind, it extinguishes your fire, and the Blacksmith: Bs: What did you do!? No! GM: The mist begins to... (Helper: What’s that!?) GM: ...expand throughout the whole city, the

mist begins to appear and spreads all around the village, and now I’ll do something real quick. Ce: Thiago!? T: I just wanted to light up a cigarette! A: That was just a tiff. (GM: Hold on.) GM: I’ll leave you all like... Guaxi: Muted. GM: Here, uh… now you all will be like this. Liz: And you call me out when I spill beer on the ground. A: But he ain’t guilty, he was just trying to help. T: I just wanted to light up a cigarette. Liz: Me neither, my hand shook. GM: You see that the whole

village gets completely covered in mist, and you are at the middle of that mist, and the Blacksmith: Bs: What did you do? Why did you... I told you the village doesn't like the fire! Calango: I hold Liz and Arthur. Helper: It doesn’t like fire! Don’t use fire here! T: How can I light my cigarette up, then? A: But The Gatekeeper told us we could smoke we light up cigarettes this way! Bs: You brought the night too soon! GM: And he: Bs: C’mon, if you wanna go to the farm, now it’s the time. GM: And he

begins to go up quickly like this, towards it. A: Wait, is this the night? L: Cesar, come with me. Calango: I’ll go with Liz. Felps: I’m going, but I say I need to get back to... Helper: I need to get back to work, to organize… to finish organizing some stuff. Bs: Helper, finish organizing the things. and help the people… Bs: It shouldn't have happened! (Helper: Too soon!) Bs: Why did you do it? GM: He looks at Thiago. T: The Gatekeeper said we could smoke, boss. Felps: I get really mad 'cause Felps: you did this too

soon. (BS: I told you...) Bs: the village doesn't like the fire! T: But he smoked before! Bs: You're not safe! Especially with that. GM: He points… he looks at your guns. And the Helper begins to… he goes back running to… Felps: Yeah, I got back down here. A: I guess you instructed the Gatekeeper badly, A: Gotta keep an eye on what he’s saying. T: The Gatekeeper told us we could smoke! Bs: You can smoke, but don’t light it with fire! A: But buddy... (T: Bruh, I didn’t know...) T: ...about this technology of lighting cigarettes up

with crystals. I didn’t have one, so I lit it up how I could. GM: You begin to go up towards... you begin to go up kinda fast. You see many people in the houses, closing them, closing the windows, and the farmers up here, they’re all really scared, saying: ???: Run, run, run! Take the pigs! Boy, take the pigs, take the pigs!! GM: And they take… They begin to push the pigs and the cows. One of them is pulling the chickens, taking them inside the… inside the... places that they keep the animals in. And the Blacksmith,

running: Bs: We need to help them! You... the night wasn't supposed to come so soon! GM: And they begin... you see many people at the farm, they weren’t prepared to this moment. Luba: I... J: Uh, Mr. Blacksmith, is there something we can do to help? Bs: Yes! Help to take the animals and put them in the barn, fast! J: OK. Luba: I wanna do that, Master. GM: You now hear, coming from the other side of the village, where you came from, on that tower, the Gatekeeper’s Tower, you hear [Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding] a bell

ringing... With that, among the mist, you see a... what appears to be some kind of silhouette of what looks like a dog, GM: but much larger. (Guaxi: Aw, bro.) GM: Coming from one of the houses... (Calango: Aw, man.) ... it comes [Running] really fast towards you, and when it gets close, the mist is... you can barely see, but when it gets close, you see a completely black dog with… Its face looks like a skull, with red eyes, and now, I want everyone to roll Initiative. Calango: I get my knife. (Guaxi: Aw man…) GM: It’s not

that big. (Gabi: Damn...) Rakin: I got my handgun in hands. GM: Among the mist, he comes [Roar] [Running], it comes running, now everyone roll Initiative for me, please. Calango: I already rolled. Luba: I got an Extreme, holy fuck. (Guaxi: Same.) Rakin: I got an Extreme too, no way. Guaxi: Holy shit! Gabi: I got a Normal. Luba: It was Good, sorry. Rakin: Mine was Super Extreme, Rakin: I rolled a 3. (Guaxi: Damn.) GM: Uh... Let me roll for… OK, let's go. Rakin: Bruh, with my ear comes a good die. Guaxi: I rolled a 4, we can

almost do a… sequence there. Rakin: You stay behind me. (Luba: I don’t like 4.) GM: OK, everyone got Extreme? Calango: I got Normal. (Luba: I got Good.) Gabi: I got Normal too. (GM: OK, so…) ...only Joui got Good? GM: OK, so the other people who got extreme, tell me your Dexterity order. Rakin: He has more than me. Guaxi: So it’s Arthur, Thiago… GM: OK. Rakin: Don’t even say it 'cause I know you got more. Calango: Then Joui... GM: Joui, Cesar? Guaxi: And Liz. GM: OK. (Luba: Mine...) Luba: I got 59, Cesar. Calango: No, but you

got Good, I got Normal. Luba: Ah, OK. GM: And here. GM: So you see this creature that reminds you of a wolf, coming from the mist. Lemme just make it transparent, because of the mist… Okay… you see it arriving quickly, it passes by the Blacksmith and jumps directly onto Joui. It’s really big, it’s almost the size of one of you, and when it's passing by, he jumps [Roar] to bite Joui. The Blacksmith… wait… OK. The Blacksmith holds it with his bare hand by the head, it [Cry], its body is jerked back, it’s being held by

the head, and he [Posh] tries to bash the skull with his other giant hand, let me roll the Blacksmith’s damage here. Guaxi: Hail Mary, full of grace. GM: I've waited so long for this moment. Calango: 7d10. (Gabi: Oh my God.) Luba: What did you say? You waited so long? GM: I need more dice. Gabi: [Laughs] Felps: The big mistake. GM: I need this one, this one... GM: ...and this one... (Gabi: Damn, how many...) GM: ...No, but where’s the other? I need one more. Guaxi: His damage is rolling every dice he has. Felps: Glad I’m organizing

my stuff there, bro. Gabi: It’s the d20, the d2, the d6... GM: He caught this big dog, this giant wolf that was coming for Joui, trying to [Roar] bite Joui, the Blacksmith gets him and [Pow], bashes and [Plush] he turns into a black goo and [Shhhhh] disappears into the mist. GM: And the Blacksmith: Bs: You shouldn’t have done that, Bs: now the village is coming after you! GM: And right then... GM: You see another two of those, just like that one... (Guaxi: Aw, man...) GM: ...coming in the distance, hold on. Calango: Eesh. Guaxi: Holy damn.

GM: In front of you. From behind you, you hear [gallop sounds], as if a horse was running towards you. And when you look back, there is what looks like a horse's body, but all, all black with a intertwined thing on it, kind of leaving a goop where it goes, and it doesn't have a head. Where its head should be, there's tentacles, black tentacles, and it's really big, it's a really big horse, and he's coming full speed at you, from behind. Calango: Holy fuck. Guaxi: Holy mother. J: Mr. Blacksmith, thank you. GM: Uh, it's still on

the battle, calm down. That was his turn. (Guaxi: Oh yeah? [laughs]) GM: Now it's Arthur's turn. (Luba: I just wanted to thank him, sorry) Guaxi: Oh, I grab, I'll grab my shuriken, I'll finally use those things. Gabi e Felps: [laugh] Gabi: You got a shuriken? Guaxi: Of course. Who doesn't? Gabi: Damn, Arthur is full of surprises. GM: OK. So you draw your shuriken on your round, right? Guaxi: Yes. GM: OK. You see Arthur quickly opening his backpack and grabbing a bunch of metal shurikens, putting them along his arm. Now it's Thiago. T: Yo, Blacksmith, do

you have any guns I can use there, cus if I shoot [laughs], we'll be fucked, since it's more fire. BS: You shouldn't have done that! T: Do you have any sword, anything? A knife? A dagger? GM: You...uh, it's over, it's over. This… That's your round, like... Rakin: That's my round, yeah, I chat with him. GM: OK, did you draw your gun or not? Rakin: I did, man, I'm holding my gun while saying all that. GM: OK. You see the people in the farm running, and the animals seem to ignore anyone that isn't you, they're running

directly towards you, all of them. Uh, now it's... You see like, a blonde woman, really tall, that was right behind the Blacksmith, and she's the one yelling ???: Get the pigs! Go, baby, get the chicken, go, go, go! GM: And all the animals already start to go inside, like, when these animals start to show up. Now it's Joui. Guaxi: [hiccup] Luba: Uh… I draw my, my two brass knuckles GM: OK, that's your round. Now it's Cesar. Calango: What's in that little house right next to us? GM: It's a house of someone that lives there, and

they closed it, like… it's all closed up. The people, you look around, and a lot of stuff is happening at the town, but you're focused on the battle, but people are running, getting things, you hear, like, many people from the woods, like, a lot. People are spreading around town, getting inside their homes and bringing stuff inside. Calango: Is this house already closed? GM: It's closed, they're all closed. Calango: Is there… Is it big? Are there any stairs on the side? (GM: It's small, a small house...) GM: Why? Do you… What do you wanna do? Calango:

No, because with... Depending on the circumstances, I'd like to go on top of it, on the roof. GM: No, you can't go on top of it. Like, it's not that small. Calango: OK, so, here... Luba: [laugh] There's a cow on top of the house. Calango: [laugh] At the top here there's an entrance... GM: Lemme see… No, there isn't, there isn't. [laughs] Calango: ...This thing here is like a barn? GM: Yeah, it's like a barn, it's where they're taking those big cows and pigs to. Calango: Dude, I'll grab my knife and run over here, and enter

this thing. GM: OK, you go in, you have... you're hiding behind a, there's a cow going in, being taken by one of the Farmer's helpers, here. Calango: OK, I go, I go, I'll go along with the cow, Calango: I kinda try to hide next to it. (GM: OK, you're next to that big cow...) GM: ...it's like way bigger than you, it has a tiny head [lowing] [laughing] GM: Now it's Liz. Calango: OK, can I just yell something on the way, while I run? (GM: Sure, sure, go ahead.) Ce: Guys, you wanna go one on one

with a wild hound? Calango: And I run off. Gabi: [laugh] OK. Uh… I’ll draw my hunting knife, and I’ll kinda stay in a crouching position, kinda ready to dodge anything that comes my way. Gabi: My intention is not to attack, my intention is to dodge, (GM: OK.) Gabi: so I’ll hold my knife just for safety. GM: At that moment, you see the two wolves... the Blacksmith, like, he grabbed that thing and it already disintegrated in front of the Blacksmith… He places himself in front of you, turned to the wolves, and both of them charge full

speed and try to run past him. The Blacksmith tries to grab one of them, while he can’t grab the other. OK [dice sounds] hmmm... He doesn’t make it. He tried to grab, but the wolf is too fast and runs right past him and jumps on top of Joui while the other is running towards Thiago. Joui? Luba: I want to… GM: Fight back or Dodge? Luba: Fight… hold on, to fight back is Fighting, right? GM: Yes. Luba: Yeah, I want, I wanna fight. GM: OK. Luba: Uh, I got… Good. GM: You got Good in the Fight

back? Luba: Yeah. GM: You may attack. Luba: I wanna punch its face. GM: OK. Luba: Uh, I'm wearing the brass knuckles, so it's... (GM: You can deal damage...) GM: ... you can deal damage. (Luba: It's 1d3, one d3 plus 1, right?) GM: 1d3 plus 1, right. Luba: OK. I got one on the dice, so 2 in total of damage, right? GM: OK. You, this monster comes, it opens its mouth, you see this… this weird shape on its face, it’s like… it’s a skull, but it’s a repulsive skull, the wolf that was… mutated, it has some

tentacles coming from behind, it goes to bite you and you punch it with your brass knuckles that you just grabbed and [POW] it... it falls to the ground and [RAWRR] turns to you again, while the other attacks Thiago now. Fight back or Dodge? Calango & Gabi: You're muted. Rakin: OK, what do I roll to fight back, again? GM: Fighting. Rakin: Holy shit, do I have that? GM: Brawl. Rakin: Ow, so I'll just dodge. Dexterity, right? GM: Uhuh. GM: Dodge is below, uh, it's, it's the one... (Rakin: Extreme. Extreme, extreme.) GM: You got Extreme? Rakin: I'm

so lucky, dude. GM: OK. The wolf jumps in your direction, and [wind sounds], you just go, it [grunting] goes right past you, and when you, when it goes past you, you notice that on this… this little gap on the house, part of the mist is a little different than the others. You didn’t have, y'all hadn't noticed that yet, but the mist, there’s a specific area of it that seems… to have a shape which’s moving in your direction. Rakin: OK. T: Guys, there’s something coming from there, let’s bail and find some protection, I only have this

gun here and we T: won’t be able to fight against this thing, man. (GM: OK, your round is over, now it’s…) GM: No, it was the wolf’s round, now it’s the Blacksmith. The Blacksmith turns to this monster that was attacking Joui, and tries to hold it one more time to beat it up [dice sounds] OK, he hits it. And he… He turns to hit it and he [POW] crushes the wolf’s head with his foot, and [PSHA], the wolf explodes right in front of Joui too. Gabi: Woah. J: Wow! GM: And he just… he turns to

you: BS: Don’t use fire! J: OK! GM: And now it's Arthur. Guaxi: Uh… now there's just this wolf here and the horse, right? The horse hasn't moved yet, it's just standing here. Guaxi: During all this. (GM: Uh…) GM: the horse is coming, it's running towards you, it was further than this, I just put it here to be on the background, but it was coming from afar, and you hear [galloping sounds], GM: it's getting closer to you now, and it’s coming fast. (Guaxi: OK) A: If we're gonna run, we gotta run now! Guaxi: And I wanna

throw a shuriken at the horse. OK, a shuriken, I searched here, Mater, and it’s like one d3 and it’s written “plus half dB”, what’s, what’s that? GM: Uh… it's extra, extra damage. Guaxi: Oh, so… can I try to throw it? What do I have to roll... Dexterity, what? GM: Roll Throw. Guaxi: Throw? Lemme see if I have it. Here, OK, nice. [dice sounds] 18, it was Very Good, Good, almost. GM: Was it Very Good or Extreme? Guaxi: Uh it was… no, it was Extreme! Guaxi: It was Extreme. Oh, no, it was Very Good, (GM: Was

it Extreme? So max damage...) Guaxi: it was Good, Good. (GM: OK, it was Good?) Guaxi: I mistook, my bad (GM: Which one did you hit?) Guaxi: I hit the… the horse here, the cow, I don't know… GM: OK. How much? Deal damage. Guaxi: OK. It's one d3. [dice sounds] 3. So it was 2, right? Is that it? GM: OK, you hit, you see that... you threw one shuriken, right? Guaxi: Yeah. GM: You hit the nail on the head [PSH] and it sticks, and a little bit of goo comes out, and it [galloping sounds] is still

coming full speed, you didn’t affect it, but now it's coming towards you. Guaxi: OK, OK. GM: Uh, now it's… Thiago. Rakin: I run away, I put my gun away, try to get the knife from my pocket and yell: T: Run, fuckers! GM: You yell at… when you say that, the Blacksmith says: BS: You can’t run now. Rakin: Oh shit, so I stand still, only with my knife, staring at the monster that's coming. GM: OK, you ran until which point? So that I know. Rakin: I ran closer to Joui to help him with the wolf. GM:

OK. Luba: The wolf is dead. Gabi: It died already [laugh] Rakin: Boy, so I'm with my knife pointing where… here. (Guaxi: He's here.) GM: where were you running to initially, before the Blacksmith yelled at you? Rakin: Towards the Blacksmith, because he's big and protective (Guaxi: It was... Cesar.) GM: Oh, OK, so you're here. Gabi: [laugh] GM: Now it's Joui. Luba: OK. Uh… I run, I... No, I don't run, I just turn around to get ready. Also... J: Arthur! A: What? Luba: I run towards him. J: Hand me a shuriken. Luba: Can he do that, Master?

GM: Uh… he can give you a shuriken, (Guaxi: I drew many of them) GM: No, but then it's his round, to give you the thing. Luba: Oh OK. Guaxi: Oh. Luba: OK, I just stood by his side then, because I heard the horse and I wanna help him. GM: OK. Luba: I don't have much to do now. GM: Uh… Cesar. Calango: Uhm… I wanna search inside this thing, see if there's a fork, any farmer tool here. GM: Uh, you, you look inside and there are indeed some farmer tools like a pitchfork, some brooms, stuff like

that. Calango: A pitchfork then. GM: Yeah, a pitchfork, yeah. Calango: OK, I wanna take the pitchfork. GM: OK. (Calango: Can I take it and move?) GM: You can. Calango: Or just take it? OK, so I grab it, and run towards them, here. GM: Nice. So you see Cesar, who's next to this big ass cow, he comes out running with a pitchfork in hand, and now it's Liz. Gabi: Hm… knife in hand, uh… lemme think. Gabi: Oh I'll… I'll turn towards the wolf and like, keep holding my knife pointing up, so if he comes at me

I'll be precise, it'll be like an aiming at the wolf round. GM: You can't aim on one on one. Gabi: No? GM: No. Gabi: Oh, but I'll keep waiting, I'm already in position. GM: OK, uh… It's their turn now. The headless mule comes running [galloping sounds], It tries to hit, it tries to run over Joui and Arthur, who need to roll Dodge, you can't fight back. Guaxi: OK. Luba: [dice sounds] Guaxi: Lemme find Dodge here. Les'go. Luba: Uhuhuhu! Guaxi: [dice sounds] GM: How was it? Luba: The dice forgave me. Dodge… I'm just checking if it

was Good or Extreme, Master, but it was good. GM: OK. Guaxi: Oh. Mine was 49, uh, mine was Regular. (Luba: It was Good, Good.) GM: OK, both succeeded. The mule comes [galloping sounds], it’s a really big mule, but you both make way for it, and it [galloping sounds] runs right past you and now it's here, near the Blacksmith. GM: The wolf turns... (Calango: Go, Blacksmith) GM: ...and after missing his attack on Thiago, who ran off, he turns to try and get closer and jumps on top of Liz. [CHRAW] Trying to bite her. Liz, you'll fight

back, right? Gabi: I'll fight back. GM: I'll let you have advantage because you prepared yourself, I'll give you that bonus. Gabi: OK, thank you. And… Oh! Hold on, how much do I have… I got Extreme. I got Extreme. GM: OK, deal maximum damage. What's the knife's max damage? Gabi: It's 1d4. GM: OK, you deal 4 of damage on the wolf, right? Rakin: It's one d4 plus 2, no? Knife? Gabi: It's d4 plus dX, Gabi: but I don't have extra damage. (GM: dX is extra damage, you don’t have it.) GM: The knife is small. (Gabi: It's

small.) GM: OK, so you, the wolf jumps to kill- to bite you, and you were ready, you just dodge a little bit and cut [tearing sounds], you cut his stomach open a little bit and [PSHRR] a little goo comes out, but he [agony sounds], and turns, he makes a non-wolf like sound, a little alien-ish, it's a weird sound. Then, that shape, that ghostly shape of the mist comes toward you… and you just feel that the mist, it suddenly takes the shape of two arms, not exactly human, and it tries to attack you, it’s trying to

attack you. Do you wanna dodge or fight back? Gabi: I wanna dodge, I wanna dodge. GM: OK. Gabi: Holy mother, for God's sake. Luba: What the fuck is this?? Gabi: Regular. GM: Uh, you’re able to dodge, you notice that the mist, it’s... this dense mist, this concentrated portion, it tries to grab you and you just dodge along with the wolf’s attack, that you cut his belly. Now it’s the Blacksmith. The Blacksmith, taking the chance of having the mule right next to him, he tries to hold it to ride. [dice sounds] Rakin: Holy shit. GM: But

he can’t, and it runs over him. OK, you see the Blacksmith like, he jumped in front of it to try and ride it, but the mule [POW], bumps on him, and he [PSH], just went with it for a while, but he stopped it… he stopped its movement, it was going really fast and he just jumped in front of it and [POOM], got hit, and held onto the ground. He’s holding the mule in front of him now. And it bumped really hard on his metal armor. GM: Now it’s… Arthur. (Calango: Is the Blacksmith holding the mule?)

Guaxi: OK, I wanna... go to the wolf here and... and like, I don't know, punch it [laugh]. He's turning to Liz here, isn't he? (Gabi: He left) GM: You see that like, he has a ghostly shape, seems like you won’t hit it, but when he attacked Liz you saw a chance of opportunity, seemed like it took a solid shape when he attacked her. Guaxi: Oh OK, the goo here, right? GM: Oh, yeah, the smoke. Guaxi: OK, I wanna try to… I don't know, kick, kick the goo. GM: OK, you may attack. Guaxi: I notice that

disgusting thing [dice sounds] and throw a, 26, yeah, I got it. Yeah, it was Good, Good. GM: Did you get it? You can deal damage. Guaxi: OK. What's the kick damage? Guaxi: It's one, just... (GM: It's 1d3.) Guaxi: OK [dice sounds] 5, uh, so 3. GM: 3? You see this thing getting shape, it kinda, kinda [shin] when it attacked Liz, and when it attacked, you took the chance and kicked it, and you felt that [poom] you hit something that made a [grunting] and moved on. Now it’s… Thiago. Rakin: I'll try to stab the wolf. GM:

You're kinda far. You'll run up to the wolf, then. Rakin: Oh no, wait, is the mule on the ground Rakin: with The Blacksmith? (GM: It’s not on the ground,) GM: The Blacksmith took the damage and held it [SHH], dragged it and they are staying still now. Rakin: So I'll try to stab the mule. GM: OK. You may attack. With advantage since The Blacksmith is holding it. Rakin: OK, I got Good. Rakin: Damn, I'm very lucky with these dice today, man (GM: With advantage.) GM: Did you roll twice? Rakin: I rolled twice, (GM: OK, deal damage.)

Rakin: I got 8 then 74. GM: Deal damage. Rakin: It's 1d4, right? (GM: Uhum.) Rakin: I got 4 man, Rakin: what the hell... (GM: OK.) GM: You hit it right in and kind of cut its thigh open a little. It tries to kick you back, as a fight back, when you stab it, as a reflex, but it misses you, you were on its side so you managed to dodge. It's a really big mule, you feel that it's not really hurt, and that black goo starts to drip on the ground from where you stabbed. And now

it's… Joui. Luba: Well, I'm there next to the goo… this, this ghostly thing and the wolf, right? GM: Yeah. The wolf is next to Liz, and the ghostly goo is in front of you. You can't reach the wolf, just the... not goo, it's like a ghost, it's like, it's a solidified mist. Guaxi: Like an aura (GM: Yeah.) Luba: OK. hm... I'll punch it too, then. Luba: Fly kick, kick it. (GM: The farmers already...) GM: they already put most of the animals inside… Inside the little houses. Luba: No, I'll, I'll hit... (GM: And you realize now...)

GM: That woman who was screaming, she… she's done organizing everything and she gets ready, she comes with… with her pitchfork to help. That's why she left. Luba: OK. I'll hit the, the ghost thing. GM: OK, you can attack. Luba: Uh, it was… Good? GM: OK. Luba: Now the damage, right? (GM: Uhuh) Luba: Sorry! Oh, no, it was Good, I thought I had gotten Extreme, sorry. I got 1 again, so 2 on total damage, right? I'm with the brass knuckles. GM: At, the ghost, right? Luba: Yup. (GM: OK.) GM: You notice that the punches you gave,

it kinda reacts with a weird [grunting] and the parts of it kind of vanish through the mist and don't come back to this specific aura, it's becoming smaller and thinner. OK. Now it's… Cesar. Calango: Uh… Calango: I'll come to… (GM: With the pitchfork in hands.) Calango: Yeah, I'll go up to the horse... GM: The pitchfork deals 1d6 of damage plus 2, GM: I'll give you that. (Luba: Uh!) Calango: Nice. OK, I'll pitchfork the... the other thigh, not the one that Calango: Thiago stabbed. The other one. (GM: OK.) Calango: With advantage, right? GM: With advantage, yeah.

Calango: What is it, Fighting, right? GM: Fighting. Calango: Where's it… Uh... Fighting. Oh, already got success in one, I'll just roll the other. Calango: Yeah, Regular. GM: OK, you can deal damage. Calango: It's 1d6 plus 2? (GM: Yeah.) Calango: 4. GM: Already with the extra? Calango: Yeah. (GM: OK.) GM: You stab it with all your strength, you come running, and [tchum] stab this mule, and it does [TCHSSHH] it makes a noise just like the one from the fog, and its tentacles [vluub] start to move, where the head should be there's these tentacles, they start to

vibrate very intensely, and now it's Liz. Gabi: Right. I saw that this... this shadow is trying to grab, so I walk back a bit, I walk like, until the side of this house, here, I still have my knife in hands, I hit the wall twice, like this, of the house, to get the wolf's attention to me, and I assume a defensive position, GM: The house is made out of stone. Gabi: Ah, I hit it twice with my hand like this, just to make some noise. To try and get the wolf's attention. GM: Uh… You can

try to roll Intimidation to get its attention, this won't work, with the roll it might work. Gabi: OK, I'll try rolling Intimidation then. (GM: OK.) Gabi: Why not? I failed [laughter] GM: You failed? Alright. Gabi: Can I try whistling? (GM: You try...) GM: What do you do exactly? You hit the wall and you say something, or just two light taps on the wall? Gabi: I'll give it two big taps and whistle as well, Gabi: not so loudly (GM: OK.) GM: You feel that even though it looks a lot like a wolf, it's not exactly acting

like one, and it goes… but it... it turns to you, and it growls, like [RERRR] and it runs past you and jumps on Thiago. Calango: Dang. Gabi: Damn, my bad, Big T. GM: Thiago, Fight back or Dodge? Rakin: Let's Dodge, right? Calango: The Blacksmith is gonna have to finish it, Calango: or we're fucked. (Rakin: This one I failed.) GM: Failed? GM: Alright, the wolf, it (Rakin: Failed.) GM: [growling noises] bites the air, and since you were next to the mule it just, it goes like, it... what can…? You hit it with a knife, right? (GM:

The mule.) Rakin: I stabbed the mule with a small knife GM: Wait, then… no, OK, it does miss. It jumps on you, but since Liz was in front of it, it gets lost for a bit and falls by your side and misses the bite, you dodge a bit to the side. Now the phantasmagoric entity, it starts to go, and it goes through Joui. [VUM] you feel that it isn't solid. Can you roll for Sanity, please? [Rakin and Gabi laugh] Luba: Do I have to roll more or less, Luba: I have to roll less, right? (GM:

More.) GM: Ah, you have to roll less than your sanity, yeah. Gabi: [laughter] Calango: Shit [laughter] Luba: Got it! Luba: 16. (GM: A Success?) Luba: Uhum. (GM: OK) Calango: Nice. GM: It goes through you, you get startled for a bit, and it goes towards Thiago too, but it doesn't attack. The… now the mule is gonna try to kick Cesar, since he stabbed it with that thing he has. Gabi: [laughter] Calango: Son of a bitch. Calango: Hey, tridents are long, huh, it's gonna be hard to kick me. GM: Do you want to Dodge or Fight back?

Calango: Imma dodge, man. Yeah… Felps: Ouch. Calango: Ah, got it. I rolled a Good, dude. GM: You still have the, the… that thing stuck on it, and [UOP] you just open a bit its belly, [TSSHIUM] you see its paw going past your face and coming back, and you can dodge since it really is very long what you're holding. And now it's The Blacksmith. GM: The Blacksmith, he's gonna hold the mule, and he's gonna take advantage that, that... he's gonna take advantage that the mule is, is being attacked by you guys, and he's gonna turn to

the wolf, and he's gonna try to step on the wolf's head that just fell by his side. He doesn't, he does step, but he misses, because the wolf fell a bit off, and the wolf takes advantage and bites his leg, [RURR], and rips off a piece of The Blacksmith's leg. Calango: Poor him. GM: That starts to, that starts to bleed on... On his calf. Luba: Master is the blood red? (Rakin: I wanna...) Rakin: That's what I was gonna ask now. GM: Uhm, his blood is red. Luba: OK. (Rakin: Alright. Good one.) Rakin: Good one, Joui.

Gabi: [Laughter] Rakin: We're... we're synchronized. Gabi: In the middle of the battle... (GM: And now it's Arthur.) Rakin: Lemme light up a cigarette. Guaxi: OK, I turn here and also wanna like, the… uh... Guaxi: the thingy here is... the fog is here, right. (GM: The smoke, the fog, right.) Guaxi: Can I see if it's still, Guaxi: if it's still solid? (GM: It isn't solid.) GM: You can see it's the same as when... (A: Cesar, watch out!) GM: it went through Joui, [VUU] it just went right through him. Guaxi: OK. A: Cesar, watch out! Guaxi: Then,

like, I don't know, I just... Put my hand on my pocket and get out my English punch. Guaxi: I wanna keep my English punch, (GM: OK.) Guaxi: and I put away my shuriken. GM: Thiago, it's you. Rakin: I wanna reposition a bit here, so I see that the wolf is near me. And I want to get the knife that was inside the mule... GM: You can't go through the mule like that, you'd have to go around it. Rakin: Oh, so I wanna grab the knife that's in the mule, [RRR], tear it, Rakin: even more, deal

damage. (GM: OK, you can attack.) GM: With advantage. Rakin: Yeeeah, that's what I'm talking about. All: [laughing] Guaxi: Yeah that's it. Rakin: I rolled a Good, I rolled a Good. GM: OK. Uhm, you can deal the damage. Rakin: I dealt 1 damage. All: [laugh] GM: You take the chance to rip it off a bit more, but you feel that it didn't hurt that much, ah... you kind of tried to stab where it was, it has very tough skin, and you can't stab it very deep. Now, it's Joui. T: That's one tough mule! Luba: Is it

my turn? (GM: Yeah.) Luba: OK, I only can attack this... this ghost when it does something, it seems. I'll try to attack either way, since there's not much more I can do. GM: Alright. You can attack it. Luba: I'll punch it again. Luba: I got Regular. GM: Uh… GM: You punch it hard on the, like, on what was left of it that you can see, [voom] your punch goes right past it, and when this happens you see it solidifying, [TCHEW] attacking your arm. Calango: Hm. Luba: Holy shit, sorry. Gabi: [laughter] GM: Lemme just see it

here, GM: OK. ( Rakin: Lost the arm.) Felps: [laughter] GM: Mark off 3 hit points damage. Luba: Can't I fight back or anything? GM: That was its fight back. Luba: What about my fight back back. Just kidding. [laughter] Felps: Fight back back back. J: Ouch! Fuck! (GM: And now it's Cesar.) Calango: Uh... OK, hold on, Joui is closer now, right? Calango: He's around here. (GM: Joui is, uh...) GM: He's next to the monster, yeah. he was attacked. Calango: OK, I'll grab the pitchfork, Calango: the pitchfork is still in my hand, right? (GM: Yes.) GM: Yes,

it's stuck but you got it out, you just got it out of the mule. Calango: Alright, I'll pitchfork the ghost, I'll step to the side and pitchfork the ghost. I'll probably miss, I'm not skilled at all in fighting. GM: You saw that now that it attacked Joui, it became solid as soon as it attacked Joui. Calango: Alright. And there's no advantage, right? GM: No. Calango: Yeah, I'll miss, my Fighting is pathetic. I got it! All: [laughing] Calango: Regular, regular. GM: OK, lemme see. Calango: Damn, man, I hit two of them. (GM: You can deal damage.)

Calango: It's 1d6, right? Plus 2. GM: 1d6 plus 2, that's right. Calango: 6, please 6, son of a bitch. 6! All: [laughing] Calango: 8, 8. GM: You see, you take the chance to, as soon as it solidified, you [shuu] you stab it where it might be a head, I don't know, it doesn't has much of a humanoid shape, and [pium], you take down all of that solid fog that [pshhh] just disappears and becomes normal fog and it's over. All this fog disappeared right in front of you. Calango: Yeah, and with that goes all the luck

of a lifetime. GM: Now it's Liz. Gabi: OK, I will… I wanna turn here, to the wolf, and try to step on its thigh to try and break one of its hind legs. GM: OK, it's Fighting. Gabi: [dice sounds] Ooh! Gabi: I got Good. GM: You got Good? Gabi: Uhuh. GM: OK, you can deal damage, GM: it's 1d3. (Gabi: How much is the damage?) Gabi: D3? OK. Gabi: 1. GM: You kick its thigh, it pushes you a little to the side, you feel that it hurt, but didn't really work. Now it's... That farmer I mentioned.

She comes at it with the pitchfork and: ???: Aaaaaah! GM: And she goes for the mule, and tries to stab the mule with all she got. But she misses, she goes with everything like this and [tshpum] somehow she manages to go under the mule and stab the ground, she: ???: God damn it! GM: Now it's the animals. The wolf it ripped off a piece of The Blacksmith's leg, then it goes for Thiago and tries to attack Thiago. Fight back or Dodge, Thiago? Rakin: I'll dodge, y'all know. Oh, it was Good, Good. GM: OK. Uhm… you're

able to dodge, the beast [tchh] tries to bite you, and you “Oh!” jumps behind and the mule is gonna try, with its tentacles, it goes, it attacks The Blacksmith, tentacles [vsss] and [FUM] try to throw themselves towards The Blacksmith, and it manages to do so, the tentacles kind of tie around The Blacksmith's neck, who immediately tries to take them off with his arms, on his round he's gonna try to do that. Calango: Where is the Helper to help now, damn it. GM: Huh… now it's… everyone had their turn, right? Yeah, Now it's Arthur. GM: No,

now it's The Blacksmith, (Guaxi: OK, so...) GM: The Blacksmith is gonna try to take the tentacles that are hiding him off, and he manages to do so. He puts his hands and [TCHUU] pops the tentacles that the mule was using to hold around his neck, and now it's Arthur. Guaxi: OK, I run and... and, try to somehow punch the mule too, like on its ribs, whatever. GM: Where will you punch, sorry? Guaxi: On the mule, I wanna run here... GM: OK, you'll punch it with the brass knuckles, right? Guaxi: Yeah, on it. (GM: OK, you

can deal damage.) GM: You can attack with advantage. Guaxi: Uh, Fighting and then the brass knuckle, right? GM: Yes. (Guaxi: If I pass.) [dice sound] Guaxi: 39, so I passed, I passed, it's Regular, Guaxi: not even Good. (GM: Hmm...) GM: OK. But it kicks you. You charge at it, you're gonna punch it and [POW] you get kicked on the stomach. Guaxi: I'll lose 7HP, I'll die instantly, uhh. GM: Uh, let me deal its damage. Calango: Fuck, a horse kick must hurt, man. [sounds of many dice] GM: I'm kidding, it's not all this I'm just kidding.

[Everyone laughing] Guaxi: Holy shit. Guaxi: Uh, what about the advantage, huh Master? GM: Holy, man, you get 6 of damage. Guaxi: Aw man. (Calango: Goddamn) GM: You got hit on the stomach [POW] GM: and get a major wound. (Guaxi: My armor doesn't do anything, right?) GM: Huh? Guaxi: My armor doesn't help on this one, right? GM: Uh, it does. Guaxi: Does it? So it’s 5 of damage, right? GM: Five of damage. Ok, you still got a major wound. (Rakin: What a kick.) GM: And you spit some blood, you took a fucking hard kick from an

huge mule, right on the stomach. Guaxi: Ok, major wound, right? GM: Ah… Roll a Constitution test to see if you get incapacitated…? Guaxi: Ok. Lord, thou hast searched me, and known me… (Felps: Bro…) Guaxi: Incapacitated, Master. GM: You’re incapacitated? (Calango: Aw man…) Guaxi: I am, I am. (GM: You passed out.) You took [Pow] and passed out. Turn the “unconscious” on. Luba: Fuck, can I… He's gonna fall on the ground, huh? Can I hold him? I'm by his side. GM: Uh... You can spend your turn to do that. (Luba: Oh, no, I'm not.) Luba: No, I

won't then. [Laughs] Luba: I'm too far away, I can't. GM: Now it's Thiago. Rakin: Hey, just an addendum before anything else, but if my energy comes down, it's because there's a fucking thunderstorm here. (GM: It’s fine, here too, here too.) Rakin: I’m scared, but anyway, I’m- Calango: Damn, it’s really raining. Rakin: I take the knife that I couldn’t drag because the monster was really strong, right? GM: Yeah. Rakin: Then I try to drag more [Knife ripping flesh sound] GM: Ok, you’ll make more force. You can attack with advantage. Rakin: Fuck, I’m pissed, bruh. Felps: With

blood in his eyes. Rakin: I pull, pull, pull, and slip. I failed. GM: Did you fail? Rakin: I failed, I got 25 of Fighting. GM: Ok, you feel that it tries to attack you back with one of the tentacles, but it can’t either. Now it’s Joui. Luba: Ok, I run to Arthur, I see that he was kicked... GM: Aham, he passed out and fell on the ground. (Luba: I go to him, and if I-he fell already?) GM: Yes. (Luba: Can’t I hold him? Ok…) GM: Ah, you can-no… If you wanna spend-You can spend your turn

to do that. Luba: I want to, I wanna spend my turn to do that. (GM: Ok.) Calango: [Whispers] Luba: And can I also look for a knife, to see if he got any? GM: You can, roll a Finding then. Luba: Ok, but I hold him on my arms like this to protect his head. GM: Ok. Luba: I… succeeded in Finding, Master. GM: Ah… what did he find, Arthur? Luba: Normal. Guaxi: He found that… that same pocket knife I handed him that time at the Hounded’s house. GM: You find this pocket knife and take it, (Luba:

I take it.) this may be your turn, you went there, held him, and pulled the knife out that he was holding. Luba: Ok. GM: And now it’s… Cesar. Calango: Err… [Mouth noises]. Bro, I’ll run here, look. I’ll go around Arthur and stand by the lady’s side here. GM: Yeah, Arthur is with Joui here, kind of, actually. Calango: Ok, I’ll- I won’t stay near the mule’s kick area, bro. GM: Alright. [Laughs] Calango: I’ll stay in front of it. Felps: He learned. Calango: I’ll hit it with the fork on it’s little neck. GM: There’s no neck, it

doesn’t have a head. Calango: Ok, so where I can. [Laughs] Guaxi: On the tentacles, on the tentacles. (Calango: With advantage?) GM: Ok, you may attack. Calango: With or without advantage? Calango: With, right? GM: With advantage, yes. Calango: Ok, now it’s the time I miss… I missed… Damn! I rolled a 4 bro! If it weren’t for the advantage I’d miss. GM: Extreme? Calango: Let me- probably yes. Yes, it was an Extreme. GM: How do you wanna kill the mule? Calango: Aw, man. (Guaxi: Aw man… He’s a-) Calango: I don’t believe it, bro. Guaxi: He’s a fan

of Cesar man, that’s the sentence. Felps: Exactly. (GM: It’s not my fault that he kills them all, bro.) Calango: I… bro-I’ll put- I’ll shove the fork with anger in- I don’t know, where the beginning of the neck would be. GM: Yeah, there are tentacles coming out from that area. Calango: I’ll shove it right where the tentacles come out with all my strength. GM: You shove it, and when you do it, you- you see the tentacles trying to hold your fork, wrapping around it, you keep shoving and going deeper and deeper in this mule’s system, and

you see it disintegrating slowly like [Melting noises] and turning into a big pile of goo, and falling on the ground [Liquid sounds] disintegrating slowly amidst the mist and in a… after a certain point, there’s nothing in front of you. Calango: This goo is familiar or not? GM: It’s a black goo. Guaxi & Calango: Uhh... Calango: A black goo… J: Don’t touch it, Cesar. GM: There’s no goo anymore, (Ce: I won’t do that.) GM: the goo disappears just when- just when it becomes a goo. Now, it’s Liz turn. Gabi: There’s just the wolf now, huh? I

wanna avail the fact that I’m at his back and I wanna, like, throw myself on him with my knife in both hands to try to hit him as hard as I can on the head. (GM: Ok, you may attack.) Gabi: By the love of God… Uh… Normal. GM: Normal? You can deal the damage. Gabi: It’s 1d4. 3. GM: 3? You get on the wolf, you-you do exactly what you said, you throw yourself with the knife, you stab it in the spine, and it [Fall sound] falls onto the ground, it [Noise] gets up with difficulty, and

with you on top of it. It’s in bad shape, sludge is oozing from it. Ah… I want you to roll Sanity for me, please. Gabi:Aw… I… I failed. GM: You lose… 3 points of sanity. Gabi: Ok. GM: Ah… now it’s the… GM: Ah… now it’s the… the Farmer, that comes running to this wolf and tries to attack again, she’s kinda mad. Farmer: Aw, damnit! GM: And tries to hit the wolf again… she misses again. [Laughter] GM: she misses the same way again. [Attack noises] and shove it on the ground. Farmer: Damnit! My sight is bad

tonight! GM: And now it’s the wolf that will attack Thiago, it’ll get up like this and will have a penalty because Liz is on top of him. It’ll try to attack Thiago with his remaining forces… and it rolled an Extreme. Rakin: I… Can’t I try to dodge? GM: Yes, you need to roll an Extreme. Rakin: It rolled an Extreme with a penalty? GM: No, well remembered, he has a penalty. [Laughter] Gabi: na na na na. GM: He rolled a 100, I just rolled a 1 followed by a 100, no, I rolled 4 and 100. (Guaxi:

OH MY GOD.) Luba: Fuck… Calango: Damn... GM: He completely misses. Rakin: Mr. Master, you were trying to fuck me… GM: It fails, you, bro-you-you look at it and you feel “Bro, I’m fucked, it’s gonna eat me” then Liz pushes him to the side and [Bite the air]. It bites pretty far from you. Luba: [Phew]… Rakin: Can I counter-attack? GM: Ah… You can counter-attack because of his failure. Rakin: Nice. I gotta succeed, right? Or not? GM: You gotta succeed, yeah. Rakin: I gotta succeed on Fighting. Fighting with advantage or… GM: No advantage. Gabi: But you can

do it, whenever you want, I’m fine on the wolf rubbing myself on the sludge. (Rakin: I’ll take my knife, leave the mule,...) Rakin: ...I’ll stab the wolf and I stumble again. [Laughter] GM: Great. Now it’s the Blacksmith. The Blacksmith, he takes, he-he-he turns now that the mule is gone, he turns to the wolf and tries to punch it hard on the head just when it tries to bite Thiago… He hits the ground with all the strength [POW] he- and a lot of dirt spreads everywhere, and it leaves a mark- where his hand was, now there’s

kind of a hole on the ground. Now is Arthur. Luba and Calango: He’s unconscious. (Guaxi: But I’m unconscious right? Do I gotta roll-do I gotta roll...) GM: No, you don’t need to roll another test. Ok, you can roll another test to see if you wake up. Guaxi: Ok, I want to. GM: It has to be an Extreme. (Guaxi: No, no.) Felps: Slept again. (Guaxi: No-no. I’m sleeping, I’m sleeping.) GM: Ok, you’re still passed out. It’s Thiago. Rakin: I pull myself together after missing and I try to stab the monster again. GM: Ok, you may roll.

Luba: I didn’t have a turn I guess. GM: Ah You-You’re after Thiago. (Calango: Yeah.) Luba: Ah… Ok then. (GM: Your turn was holding Arthur.) Rakin: I take- (Gabi: It’s that Thiago's turn was a counter-attack.) Rakin: I take the knife, try to hold the wolf, and I stumble even more this time. [Laughter] L: Holy shit… (GM: Thiago misses once again. You see that Thiago is a bit-) a bit in shock because he feels that this all is happening because of him, because he went with the lighter in front of the maze, and all the monsters are

coming to attack him because of it, he’s a bit worried he’s a bit worried and he can’t think straight. Now it’s Joui. Luba: Master... GM: What? Luba: Thiago is exactly in front of me? Because I wanna throw my knife at the wolf. GM: He isn’t. You can-you can throw it. Rakin: God willing I’m on the ground. GM: Roll Throwing. [Laughter] Luba: I succeeded. It’s… Normal, not good, but normal. GM: Normal? Luba: Yeah. GM: You throw the knife [Knife on air] And the wolf [Dodge sounds] Passes stra- ah no, it has a penalty because of Liz.

You throw the knife, it spins, spins, spins and [Stab sound], goes on his eye, stabs perfectly [Stab sound] and its skull breaks in half and [Sludge sound] it turns to goo while falling on the ground, and becomes nothing. L: Aw. GM: In front of you, there’s just the Blacksmith and the Farmer, worried sick. Bs: You shouldn’t use fire, I told you the village does not like the fire. What were you thinking!? GM: And the Farmer, that is this woman, she has a gray skin, pretty dark grey, let me get here right. She’s really tall-she’s like

40-she is really tall and thin, her face is really thin, she has a strip that’s like this, her eyes are completely black, she wears this straw hat, her hair is long and blonde, she has this blue overall with a beige shirt under. She-she-she’s worried. Farmer: What happened? What happened that- Out of nowhere the night started, Blacksmith!? Who are this- Welcome to Holy Cradle, who are you? J: Ah, ma’am, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, it was our fault, we didn’t wanna bother, I apologize. Farmer: But the village does not like them, it threw 345 monsters on top

of them, Blacksmith. GM: Sorry, I’m putting the Blacksmith’s voice on her unintentionally. Bs: Yeah, I know, I know. They brought- They brought a lot of fire, you need to get rid of these fires you brought, if you don’t, this will happen even more! J: I don’t-I don’t get what happened. But-what fire? L: Er… guys, if you don’t mind, may we have this talk inside a house? Farmer: Yes, yes, oh my God... GM: She looks around the farm. Farmer: it’s ok, it’s ok. We’ll have to chat another time, after- tomorrow, after the night is over. GM:

She turns and goes back to her house running, she leaves. And the Blacksmith says; Guaxi: And I’m still unconscious. But nobody cares about it, right? (Bs: You-we don’t have much time,) the night came much earlier than I expected. T: Ow, someone wanna help the boy there on the ground, he's in bad shape. Ce: Joui’s with him. (GM: Now, Arthur, roll one more Constitution test.) Luba: Constitution? GM: Yeah, roll a Constitution test. Luba: Me or Arthur? GM & Calango: Arthur Guaxi: Ok. Luba: Ah, ok. Guaxi: Ah… It was Normal. GM: Ok, you begin to wake up,

you feel a lot of pain in your stomach, you feel you’re really bruised, but you’re awake again. Bs: You need-You need to go to- I need to get you to the Hotel, you don’t have time to be here. You shouldn’t have used the fire. J: I think-I think that Arthur needs to go to the Doctor. (T: It was just a cigarette, sir.) J: I think Arthur need to go to- (Bs: There's no time for this now, the night has already started. We need...) Just follow me! GM: And he begins to run back-He begins to run

back to the way you came. (J: Ok.) Not running, more like jogging. Bs: And be careful we may have… the village clearly didn’t like you. It’s normal it- GM: While… He’s saying this while you jog to his house. Calango: I’m still with the fork in hands, ok? Just to be clear. Luba: I’m taking Arthur kinda suspended on my shoulder. Bs: It’s normal for the town not to like Ignarii, but no Ignarus ever took a lighter and Bs: It’s normal teased the town like that. T: I just wanted to smoke, man. GM: He goes on walking.

Bs: You need to get rid of these fire guns. I’ll hand in some of our weapons to you. Let’s go to my Forge! GM: He begins to-he goes on walking. Don’t you wanna talk on the way? Will you go quietly or chatting? Gabi: Ah… after that lecture, huh? (Calango: Er… I’ll ask-I’ll talk to Jo- To Arthur.) Ce: Arthur, are you ok? Okey-dokey? Hello? A: [Pain moans] My belly fucking hurts so bad. Calango: I-I’ll help Joui to take Arthur, I put his arm around my shoulder. GM: While you run, among this mist, it’s hard to see

people, you just see many figures of people finishing to arrange stuff. Ah… some boxes thrown on the ground, that people abandoned because everyone was caught by surprise. You see people finishing to close their houses, kinda frightened… And while you pass by- everyone is coming from the direction of the grove and spreading throughout the village to get back to their houses. So there’s nobody here. Calango: Ok, I’m helping Arthur to move. GM: Yeah, you-Arthur needs some help because he’s really hurt. Arthur, take the “unconscious” state out, because you’re still unconscious on the sheet. Guaxi: True that,

pardon me. GM: So you’re bringing Arthur, and you finally arrive at the Blacksmith’s house, and he gets in… and on the way he says; Bs: You-you-you... what kind of weapon do you want? Do you know what you wanna use here? Calango: Man, if there’s anything by distance, because I’m really bad at… hitting. Bs: Ok. GM: He’s just going fast, he’s not even looking behind. (J: Mr. Blacksmith, anything-) J: Mr. Blacksmith, anything we can use to... to help and repair what we did to you, I accept it. Bs: You did nothing to us, I’m worried about

you! J: But why? Bs: The village does not like… Ignarii… it feels… thanks to what you brought; fire guns, fire, it feels threatened, probably. That’s not good for you at all. T: Ow… If you want us to, we can leave. (GM: You finally arrive at the Blacksmith’s house...) ...and… he gets in quickly, he goes straight, and you see that he freezes, he stops just as he gets in. And he looks at- when he’s looking inside the forge. Calango: Ah… (J: Mr. Blacksmith?) Ce: Blacksmith? Rakin: I try to take a peek inside. GM: You all enter

to see? Gabi & Calango: Yes. Gabi: I enter. (GM: I’ll ask then-) Calango: I’ll stay- GM: -to all of you to press “B”. Guaxi: Aw man… (Gabi: Hmm...) Gabi: Ouch ouch ouch. GM: Did it? Calango & Gabi: I pressed B. (Rakin: I’m hearing the same lightning that-[UNCLEAR]) GM: Yeah that’s in the real world, that’s not-there’s nothing much I can do. Rakin: Yeah, the same one that hit there I heard here, I’m not even joking. Gabi: Yeah, it’s hardoce here too. (GM: You quickly get in...) the Blacksmith’s house, and everything is the way it was, but

when you enter, you look at what he was looking at in shock… now, you can press B again… [Suspense music] ...you see… on the ground… leaning… And it’s here that we’ll end today’s session of The Secret in the Forest! Thank you very much to everyone that watched, the rain is destroying my house. Rakin: Here too. When you said “it’s here” a lightning stroke hard [Lightning sound] GM: And… I’ll see you in the next session on day… I mean, next Saturday, at 6p.m., to more The Secret in the Forest. Oh my god, are you hearing that?

Luba: I am. Gabi: Yeah. GM: Goddamn. Ok, (Gabi: I heard, I can hear it.) GM: Thank you so much for all the love and care, thank you so much to who watched- GM: And I’ll try to save my house- (Guaxi: If you need me I’m here, Master.) GM: Because the world is ending here. Guaxi: It’ll never end like this. (GM: Thank you so much, and take care.) Guaxi: But just if it ends… [OUTRO] Translated, Transcribed and Subtitled by Equipe T (@Equipe__T on twitter)
