Episode 19

## Day 6

Conrad Hearty awakens on the floor. He moves around the room, feeling only the dewy, damp, and slightly squishy floor around him. He ignites his lighter and sees that the gooey blobs on the ground are bloody viscera of some kind. He shouts a “hello,” and is met with a reply of “HELP!” from Robin. Robin catches up with him, alerts him to the incoming danger of the giant cat creature, and they sprint away together. They come upon two separate doors, labeled 1 and 2. They bolt through door 2.

Remy and PT collect themselves, deciding to go through the door at the end of the blood room, opposite the door where Arnaldo is. The door opens into the hallway with all the doors, but they are on the third floor. Remy pulls out Grappy the grappling hook and the two fly across the hallway to the door across the way, nearly falling.

Conrad and Robin make their way down the very narrow hallway, Robin still holding the orange kitten, Conrad with his lighter out. Robin finds a key in the door behind them and locks the door, grabbing the key. They get the impression that the corners of the hallway are slightly angled inward, causing the hallway to narrow the further they go. Conrad shoots once behind him toward the locked door as they hear the giant cat creature scratching at the door and meowing. The meowing intensifies, and the two can hear angry cats throughout the room. They continue to sprint down the hallway, and it continues to narrow.

Remy and PT open the door, revealing a partially bricked-up wall with a small hole. They find Conrad and Robin inside the tunnel and begin yanking them through. Remy ties the rope from the grappling hook around her waist and pulls, as PT tears away crumbs of bricks and Robin pushes Conrad through the hole. Conrad pops out of the hole like a champagne cork with the group’s combined effort, and Remy holds onto him as the two swing on Grappy’s rope. PT pulls Robin through the hole as Robin hears the large feline monster thundering down the hallway, and seconds later a giant cat paw shoots out of the hole, swiping the air.

Conrad pulls out his gun and holds it with both hands, snaking his arms around Remy’s neck so she cannot drop him. He fires into the hole in the doorway to fire six shots from his gun. Two shots hit the creature’s paw, and blood gushes from the wound and onto Robin. The paw is pulled back into the hole. PT makes a molotov cocktail with his moonshine, lights it, and tosses it into the hole. Rather than hitting the cat creature, it explodes in front of it, lighting several cats on fire. The flaming cats flee out of the hole toward our Outlaws as the creature recedes into the darkness. Remy continues to let out the rope as they are lowered past the second floor. They make it to the ground. Robin grabs the rope and climbs down. PT follows suit.

All the Outlaws make it to the ground. The little orange kitten paws at Robin, who picks it up.

They fill each other in on what has been happening. Conrad becomes convinced that PT is a vampire, and Robin stands in front of the gun. PT turns and walks toward a door, but when he grabs the knob, he feels an immediate burning sensation. He lets go of the door, seeing that an “M” has been burned into his hand as he hears a voice say “keep the change, ya filthy animal.” Conrad continues to point his gun wildly around, eventually shooting PT. Robin grabs the gun from Conrad, who crumples to the ground as soon as PT begins to bleed. PT grabs the gun from Robin, walks over to Conrad, and shoots the remaining three shots into the ground at his feet. He very seriously insists that he has had enough and they need to move on to get out of the house.

Garbanzo and Tomahawk appear in one of the second floor doorways, telling the Outlaws that they found the sapphire. The two ghosts are now in corporeal form, having possessed some bodies. They grapple up to the doorway, going through a kitchen and into an indoor but outdoor-appearing snowy swamp.
