You’re sitting in the middle of your lecture. Your crush, Joshua, is next to you. Suddenly, you feel the need to relieve yourself. You clench your cheeks, but it can only do so much. You get up to find the bathroom, but don’t think you’ll make it. Are you going to soil yourself in the middle of a lecture, in front of Joshua… or are you on a mystery quest? 57:40 bad time for a pause. Or a great time for a pause. I’ll leave it up to you.
Listen if he's *my* crush then he better be into my bodily dysfunction 🤤🥰😈

You’re in line at the grocery store check out, shopping cart full of meat and bread and fresh fruit and vegetables. The cashier finishes scanning your produce at an agonizingly slow pace, the line of irate shoppers behind you growing longer and longer. You reach down for your wallet… but there’s nothing there. You check your other pocket but to no avail. The cashier is looking at you confused. Everyone is looking at you. Did you forget your wallet at home? Were you the victim of an untimely pickpocketing? Or are you on a… Mystery Quest!
You're waking up in your bed, rubbing sleep from your eyes. You roll over, your eyes falling on your clock, bathed in the noonday sun. It's 1pm, you're hours late for work. Frantically you jump out of bed, phone in one hand as you get ready. You've missed 5 calls and a voicemail from your boss. You flick to the clock app. All your alarms are disabled. Who could have done this? Your asshole roommate Brent? Your office rival Judith? Your damnable past-self? Questions whizz through your head as you realize that you're on a... Mystery Quest!

Whom ever is doing the music/sound effects for these videos is doing a great job, I wish that the crew could hear it while they were playing!
I believe the foley work is done by the eminent Mister Bates himself!
@@cohomologygroupThe spectacular Tom Bates has truly made himself worthy of the title “Master”
It really adds to the tension, it's making me seriously consider experimenting with a soundboard when I DM
@@A2Ztigers Me too! The only issue is that most soundboards of that type are expensive or restrictive with the audio you can use
I absolutely love Ravs and Harry being married couple. I really really wish to get a director's cut edition available to everyone with some extra scenes (make it 8 hour video or something) as this is just such a joy to watch on long rides. And yes, carburetor (traditionally at the bottom of an engine) being disconnected from the brake engine was a very common issue for 193̶0̶13 Rolls Royce 40/50 H.P. "Silver Ghost"! What a nice catch from Ravs.
"Maggie?" "Perry." Love it every time that happens.
Tom being a top tier DM 6:35 gaslighting the group into believing he’s never wrong
What do you mean? Tom said 1913. Also, he has literally never been wrong in his entire life, you just told me that last week. And what is gas lighting? I've never heard of that, did your friends tell you to say that?
Its funny because the term gaslighting originating from lying about a car, so its a full circle at this point lol
He might have misspoke, but that model of car is indeed pre-1930s.
The car he showed is actually a 1913 Silver Ghost though. He might've misspoken at first, but he was correct.
@@coreylemon I actually read it originated from the movie Gaslight 😅
"Wait, who am I calling...?" Operator: "I don't know, usually you'd tell me!"
Love the banter between Simon and Lyds, they play off each other so well
I love how Lydia got Simon to try out his swindling in character. She's so great at staying in character and still getting stuff going! I love all the other players as well, this whole channel continues to entertain and impress!
Everyone has such wonderful characters this time around, Perry and Maggie have just amazing chemistry especially
Really enjoying the slow burn creepiness and how Perry always is doing his best to flee any spooky situation as fast as possible
I'm always so sad when the episode is over ;_; I don't want the fun to end.
I'm so pumped for the next episodes, it's going to be so very good
usually I wait to binge an entire series but I just can't wait with this channel
I watch it before I go to sleep and now it’s starting to get to the stages of “Hrmm, maybe I’ll watch this when it’s still daylight outside” 😅
Lydia is really getting into this now!
from newbie to pro in record time!
I love the "Main Cast" with swaps that seems to have happened, and they all have great chemistry
Lydia at 52:54 holding up the gun and saying "No?" with an unhinged look in her eyes is my new favorite thing.
Gods dammit, Ive spent 6 weeks looking for that wendigo! For it to just turn out to be a mystery quest is a load of croc! Wait a minute! I LOVE mystery quests! *This is a comment, for the Angorythm.*
Shout out to Ravs' characters, in both Mork Borg and this every time he speaks he exudes personality. Would love to accommodate him at my table
I absolutely love the intros. 57:40 Best time for a pause
Brilliant as always, we definitely need more Call of Cthulhu. This is some of the best Cthulhu content out there.
Damnit Tom, I normally have a lie down and relax with Mystery Quest before bed, but this weeks episode had me on the edge of it all! Can't wait for next week, but I am officially blaming you and the crew for lost sleep tonight!
I'm loving this series almost as much as Ravs loves feet
Loving this. Despite the comedic way Simon and Lydia are playing it I did get a wee creepy shiver when Perry noticed the 'weird shape' in the basement full of porcelein dolls.
Perry and Maggie are giving Baccano Isaac and Miria vibes
If I were Simon, I would've tried to do the "communing with the beyond" by describing the woman who Simon just saw behind the window to Augustus (or what's his name). It would've made the impression to Veronica and Augustus that Simon was actually getting information from the beyond, which would've been very much on brand for his charlatan character.
Also, I would have loved if he started believing he was really a psychic.
Take a shot everytime they mention that they're in a room for gasoline
I LOLed when he mentioned the abramelin operation because i do know what it is and it supposedly cursed Alister Crowley's mansion on lock ness when he half assed it
I love Maggie's reaction to Perry telling her that he saw a ghost.
I love how the cast is seriously embracing the roleplaying. They’re good at it! If you told me 10 years ago that Simon would seriously roleplay with a standard level of fucking around I would call you a liar. It makes me so happy.
I know I should have headed back... but if I have to go through the artic snow to watch a Mystery Quest, I'll go through it.
Got goosebumps at a few points.
I really like this adventure so far. It has a slower pace and builds the suspense over time, which I really enjoy. :D So many horror adventures (not necessarily the ones played on this channel) rush things too much. I remember one adventure I listened to in particular. Not even 5 minutes had passed after the character introductions and the narrator says, "You see your neighbour walk up the driveway with a shopping bag full of hands".
Mr Corbitt as a scenario is meant to kick off quite quickly, but that does sound rushed even for that one.
Tom sets these up so cinematic, I love how he cuts between them when they;re doing stuff, really feels like a movie.
This is a series i'll come back 3 years later to rewatch.
Ah damn, now its a week until the next episode. This is the best one they've done yet.
More of call of goodness is always 👌 Also this has been proper spooky and i love everyones role in it, the sound edits are on point aswell and make it alot more spooky, i was genuinely getting spooked out
I swear I saw the latest episode of this had been uploaded today - did it get taken down or did I just imagine it?!
I was thinking the same thing? Copy right claim maybe?
yeah same, are we being gaslight?
Thank u I am not as crazy as I think I am.
It was there, I watched it and commented. There was a sharp cut at the end of the video I think there were some editing mistakes or something
I like how they were able to make a thing that would only take about 10 mins tops to do in reality take over an hour in the story lol
this instantly became Gee's favorite episode...
This is soooo good!
If donny and sonny were around i get the feeling that old man might've end up getting his nose bitten off when he got confused
Tom was so good as sonny. I need him back for more call of cthulu. Since his character lived it could be a funny crossover with the new characters
Amazing as always
Love the narration from Tom. He does a great job describing enough to picture the scene, while leaving it vague enough for your imagination to run wild.
This series is already so spooky! I love it!
Loved this, best one yet. Tom seems to be actually spooking them good
Such a good episode! I love how on edge everyone is in this setting, can’t wait for next week :)
I am really enjoying this!
Really love these types of series keep up the good work Tom loving the content
Great episode this time, I got properly spooked!
God this has been the longest week of my life! Rewatched all the episodes waiting for more
amen brother
Lydia's character is an accurate portrayal of Mystery Quest fans in between episodes
loving this channel and this playthrough! amazing and funny rp! great laugh!!
Another great episode guys!
Haha enjoying Lydia's character, feel like she's channeling a bit of Ab Fab to great effect
I love this stuff so much MORE MYSTER QUEST!!!
This is my favorite saturday morning podcast and i hope you do it forever Tom
Mystery Quest is so good! Love all of the adventures.
Good job Tom and players :) excited for the next episode!
I love Lydia and Simon's character's dynamic!
This is some genuinely scary stuff. I am absolutely loving it!!!
Doing a great job guys. I've watched a lot of Call of Cthulhu videos but yours is one of the greats!
Amazing stuff as usual, this channel hasn’t put a foot wrong so far
The sound effects are superb, love the horror theme, keep up the good work!
I love this! More Cthulhu please!
I’d love a space Cthulhu. Or one set in an undersea base/submarine.
Love this series and this channel, please keep it up Tom 😊!!!
been looking forward to this episode. MQ is truly the highlight of my week ❤
Really looking forward to seeing where this story goes
this has very quickly become one of my fav channels on youtube loving this so much
Mystery quest has become my lifeblood ❤
This is the first series on this channel I am watching and I never realised there would be so much great sound editing and how they interact off each other. Simon and Lydia's duo are great!!
I’ve never seen or played call Cthulhu however I’ve been loving this so far. This is great I’m looking forward to more
Mystery Quest rapidly becoming my favourite Actual Play TTRPG show. Fantastic atmosphere, GM-ing and player chemistry. Love it 💚
Really great set of characters this time again. Also, Tom is doing really well on the the spooky situations! Really immersive, getting spooked. Love this series, good luck crew with surviving this mess! :'D
I absolutely love when "The squad" plays Call of Cthulhu
Good god I’m loving mystery quest. Dad and I watch it every Saturday together. This one had us both proper scared Our theory’s. Perhaps somthing couldn’t come through properly and ended up inhabiting the wife’s body. Or perhaps somthing came through and inhabited the wife and they thought she died so buried her. We’re both pretty stumped by the whole forgetting stuff
How could the woman be both showing itself to perry and be in the coffin at the same time, also, both ravs and barry could hear her while she was in the coffin, so perhaps shes doing some spirit projecting or something of the like? Its clear someone else died, I think that person may have been killed by evangeline, and so whoever the illusion caster is, (strong thoughts about the maid,) they decided to wipe their memory of them. To avoid them becoming aware of their mother.
I'm so happy this channel exists. Long live the channel!!
This episode was amazing. I love how you're (Tom) working their sanity by slowly showing them the creature/entity. Really putting in the hours in your DM homework.
This is great!
I love this tom you’re doing amazing. All of you are.
The intros are always so good
Once again, incredible sound design in this episode :PetTheEditor:
Mystery quest sustains my soul. Never stop, Tom. Or else...
I feel like this is less Lydia playing a role than channelling a previous life. Maggie suits her so well, it's an absolute joy to watch! So glad we came back to her and Perry and Ravs and Harry are doing a wonderful job flirting with each other.
Thanks Tom, that is real freaking me out.
great stuff big fan
The sarcophagus scene was a genuinely creepy moment! I like how you are all able to play off each other.
Goddamn I am always so happy to watch another Mystery Quest
You hear a stranger noise behind you. You roll to hear better it’s a success! What could this strange noise be? Wait it’s….. no it can’t be…. “If sonic and tails had seggs” OMG the horror RUnnnn WiLlie RUNN
It's quest time! An experience full of illusions.
Great ep
So happy I've decided to catch up on these post Jingle Jam. When it's pitch black outside. And I'm home alone. MQ does not fail to deliver immersion lol.
JINGLE JAM AND MYSTERY QUEST TO WATCH AAA not enough time
Enjoying the steady ramp-up.... I am 100% sure that this cabbie is not going to have a good day!
Tom you are such a good DM and these videos have all been amazing, thank you all so much, do keep it up!! ❤
Really liked this one, made me genuinely a bit uneasy. Maggie and Perry's bit with the basement was absolutely brilliant, hardest I've laughed in a while.
I love this show !
I love the Maggie and Perry dynamic
Enjoyed this immensely. You guys should give the Alien RPG a go.
Never played that one, but I'll say that Tom has expressed he prefers systems where there's room to fudge around with the rules and can be homebrewed with relative ease. Anything that requires significant number crunching is pretty much off the table instantly.
I do really love this scenario. It's so much into just scaring the crap out of the players.
always the best thing on youtube imo ❤
this is so great!!
Really refreshing to see Ravs not playing an absolute psycho. Last time i remember was that christmas role play where he was a deer
This is my favourite thing on youtube and maybe in the world
I did enjoy this episode and I would buy merch :)
