Thanks a lot.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That says Sand-Bat, not Man-Bat.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;It never was Man-Bat.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Oh.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But that&#8217;s good.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;It is, but we&#8217;re likely to poke it with a stick.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The ledger we&#8217;ve never seen?&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;The one he&#8217;s religiously hoarded?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Which, you&#8217;ve gotta admit, at the end of the day he&#8217;s probably the guy with the most achievable goals.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Being willing to die?  Yeah.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Stir into the skid.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Stir?&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Stir.  I don&#8217;t know why I said stir instead of steer, but I did.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well, I think we&#8217;re outside, aren&#8217;t we?&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;You said you walked in.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Can you make a guess as to how big it is based on what&#8217;s inside of it?&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Well, considering what it contains doesn&#8217;t exist in this reality, sure!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Is it bigger than a breadbox?  Is it smaller than a Volkswagen?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am literally just describing the crate I stole and shipped the parts to France.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well, yeah, I&#8217;ll do it as quietly as I can &#8211; monkey hatchet style.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It doesn&#8217;t sound like anything we&#8217;ve seen or read about before.  It&#8217;s a new horrific thing.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;New continent, new horrific thing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Is Hildebrandt questioning him or hitting on him?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Do you speak, or do you simply not speak to me?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When did you save my life?&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;You had to be there.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Did you save my life by not killing me? Because that doesn&#8217;t count.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So all you&#8217;ve really done is delay the death of other people, so that&#8217;s not a positive or negative for me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What you&#8217;re doing is you&#8217;re marking them for death with your efforts.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well, I don&#8217;t know how you&#8217;re having this conversation. You went off to buy cabbages.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Oh, you were asking if I relayed the information. I relay it to everyone but the Frenchman. Even the German, who we just met.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Can I buy you some new Cool Whip, Pete?&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;You&#8217;re saying it wrong.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Can I buy you some new Cool Whip, Cheryl?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m asking you-player, not you-character.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As opposed to when they move it and the gently-put-together crate falls apart and cabbages fall out?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It should rain more here. Maybe Cthulhu can help with that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m going to succeed without spending points, and sigh deeply at once again going into dangerous situations with people who cannot fucking stealth.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You realize the idol is 3 foot tall? That&#8217;s a lot of cabbages! You&#8217;re going to look like some kind of weird vegetable burgler!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Just know that if you have insufficient cabbages, I&#8217;m setting it on fire.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Who decides what constitutes sufficient cabbages?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Meanwhile, in the office, I look up from my cabbage.  &#8216;What?'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What did you do?&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;I used mechanical repair&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I feel like Pete won the role-playing lottery here.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I didn&#8217;t realize we were playing Betrayal at Warehouse Hill.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What was the deal with the light?&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Mnyahnyunuh.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;You&#8217;re pretty sure that was Chinese.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Wait, we have an SOP?&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Fire.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Flames.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Two times! I did that two times!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Is there anything metal in this office?&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;I don&#8217;t know; I think Cthulhu is pretty metal.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Take the box, leave the cabbages?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Or it could be part of a complex mating ritual.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;No.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s a fine line between drunken revelers and angry mob.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Then I will politely set the idol on fire and get out of there.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Do I get 30 points for everything I set on fire?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s the same symbol as was on the side of the box that held your thing.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;It&#8217;s still on the side of your box.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;And it still hides your thing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re going to keep an eye on Randolph, the guy who owns the warehouse. The guy who&#8217;s clearly in league with evil?&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Can we just go to a bar instead?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Excuse me, madamoiselle. I ordered red wine, and you seem to have brought me some sort of red piss.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;We have not yet reached a consensus on the gallivanting.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[26],"tags":[27],"class_list":["post-871","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-call-of-cthulhu-7th-edition","tag-masks-of-nyarlathotep","wpcat-26-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.emeraldsilver.com\/gamequotes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/871","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.emeraldsilver.com\/gamequotes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.emeraldsilver.com\/gamequotes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.emeraldsilver.com\/gamequotes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.emeraldsilver.com\/gamequotes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=871"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blog.emeraldsilver.com\/gamequotes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/871\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":872,"href":"https:\/\/blog.emeraldsilver.com\/gamequotes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/871\/revisions\/872"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.emeraldsilver.com\/gamequotes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=871"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.emeraldsilver.com\/gamequotes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=871"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.emeraldsilver.com\/gamequotes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=871"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
