Episode Eighty Four – A Big Red Christmas

Big Red Christmas

Indiana Jones and Santa’s Workshop.

Krampus isn’t just about beating people with sticks; It’s about sending a message.

The maintenance crew of a hibernating colony deal with a heist in the dead of winter.

What happens when you come out of stasis to discover that the wintering-over crew have gone a bit … odd?

SALLAH: Indy, why does the floor move?
INDIANA: Give me your torch.
[INDIANA takes the torch and drops it in. A chorus of high pitched voices complaining about catching fire echo up]
INDIANA: Elves. Why’d it have to be elves?
SALLAH: Santa’s Elves… very dangerous. You go first.

BRODY: A lump of coal is the least of your worries right now, believe me, Indy … Well, I mean, for nearly three thousand years, man has been searching for the Workshop. That’s not something to be taken lightly. No one knows its secrets. It’s like nothing you’ve ever gone after before.
INDIANA: Oh, Marcus, what are you trying to do? Scare me? You sound like my mother. We’ve known each other for a long time. I don’t believe in magic, a lot of superstitious hocus-pocus. I’m going after a find of incredible historical significance. You’re talking about the boogie-man. Besides, you know what a cautious fellow I am.
[INDIANA throws his gun into his packed belongings just in case.]

SALLAH: Indy, there is something that troubles me.
INDIANA: What is it?
SALLAH: The Workshop. If it is there, at the North Pole, then it is something that man was not meant to disturb. Death has always surrounded it. It is not of this earth.

∼ ∼ ∼ ∼ ∼

BELLOQ: All your life has been spent in pursuit of archaeological relics. Inside the Workshop are treasures beyond your wildest aspirations. You want to see it opened as well as I. Indiana, we are simply passing through history. This, this is history.

SALLAH: [catches sugar plum and points to dead monkey] Bad plums.

    Oy the puns! Another great episode folks. And here’s a link to the Fear The Boot thread that started the “Indiana Jones and Santa’s Workshop” idea: https://www.feartheboot.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=19333&start=330

    And not to toot our horn, (OK, Toot! Toot!) on the Tri Tac Games Podcast we started our own Christmas show.
