The Doctor and Susan have been taken prisoner and the prison now is in the control room where the Daleks have started their "nuke everything" count down at 100.

while i was shitposting and not paying attention, one of the Thals wanted to go home but fell off a cliff because they had to cross a cave cliff in this movie.

Dalek city defenses so far:
* oatmeal swamp
* wall
* cave cliff

They're bringing the lights to the rave party.

In the oatmeal swamp, Ian decided to wash his face and saw a fish or monster or zombie or something, so he left, but then we discover that there are water pipes in the swamp that the Daleks use to get their water that maybe we can sabotage or something.

But anyway, the the main Thal Elion or Elrohir or somebody goes to wash his face and gets dragged into the swamp by an unseen something. But anyway we just ignore that and move on.

Make sure to invite Daleks to your party and give them drugs so they don't blow you up

We get a philosophical sequence in the swamp where the Thals are like "bummer I wish we could reason with the Daleks" and then the Doctor is like "you cannot reason with them, they are genocidal fascists!" which is a thing the Doctor would say in the show but makes no sense for this current context where the Doctor knows very little about the Daleks, but then the Thals are like "nah we can't fight we're pacifists now because of the nuclear war." and then they're both like "ok bye."

As the puny humans escape, the Thals have shown up with their wicker baskets to collect all the food.

BTW I'm pretty sure this movie is like 75% just ripping off that one story from the real Doctor Who original series... Almost everything that has happened is just a really crappy version of that one being rehashed, but in color and lavalamps.

If the Thals make it through this, they are going to kick ass on the '80s new wave music circuit with that hair and makeup combo.

Having captured our dalek, we unlock it and um... throw out the squid thing that drives it.

Anyway we get Ian to sit in the empty dalek shell and um have him pretend to be a live dalek escorting the prisoners out. Except he doesn't know how to drive the dalek shell and they have to drag it along, so this is very much a "here's a stupid plan the players made up that the GM has to pretend might actually work."

we devised an escape plan where we confuse the dalek then blind its eye with the pudding then grab it while its screaming for help and trap it on a cloak so it can't move because it needed the floor for power.

It’s a good thing little Susan is there. Otherwise, they’d be in big trouble.

"Take a letter!"

"We want to be your friends. Yadda yadda yadda…. Now sign your name. No smiley faces! We're Daleks!"

Terencio

to be fair, that makeup was pretty monstrous.

Very convenient of the Daleks to tell us all their evil plans via their Two-Dalek evil conferences.

I guess their plan is to um... let the humans die I guess. That seems actually pretty low on the evil scale for Daleks.

The Daleks trained at the William Shatner School Of Too Many Commas!

Also, the good doctor is a manuipluative liar. YAY

It's a meat-packing roach motel city. Dopey adventurers check in, and they never check out.

it's like the first and only intuition you need for urban exploration: don't go in anywhere that you don't have a guaranteed path back out out of. if a door has a mysterious opening and closing mechanism that requires you to touch a chair on the other side, you don't go through that door. these guys deserve to get juiced down into machine oil or whatever the bad guys do with them #monsterdon

Outside we find a makeup box lying in the dirt that has little bubble things full of some kind of pink drug in it, which we add to our inventory in case its a quest item.

Then we go to the city and discover that inside it's a modern art museum with golden sliding doors and statues of stacked rectangles and also windmills. The doors do not obey our commands.

We wander through a swamp a bit and then get grabbed by a hand, so we go back to our Tardis to discuss how weird this is and then something knocks on our door. We use our jury rigged TV to look outside.

Ian is like "lol fuck this place, can you take us home?" and Dr Who is like "sure!" which is the opposite of what the TV Doctor Who would say because in the TV show the Tardis just goes wherever it wants randomly.

"But Susan's found a city, wouldn't you like to explore it?" is also a very JRPG statement by the titular Doctor Who.
