Shout out to Octimer, thorn Diver, moist Catfish. However many names we
have on World twenty five Octimer, moist Catfish, sword diver, beautiful.
We can add money shot to that now. I guess boy, I love
mediting. My my m money shot, Thornish money shot. Oh my god,
I'm dancing dad. Anyway, It's fish sex Sunday on the Broken Lords
podcast. Real ones know what that was about? Oh really, my character
sheet doesn't like money shot as a word. What a sense. It's all
right, Col's gonna try and get out now for a dog. It's not
okay just yet, because there's one more weapon quality I need to look up.
Oh god, did all right? So we have five increments of fearsome
to the target. Okay, he didn't really have time to be afraid.
That's fair. But just know that he also took five points of mental damage,
just just for let the records show he also took five points of resolved
damage on that. Yeah, I'll just I'll file that away away. In
the point seven seconds, it had to contemplate life and all the mistakes it
made to get to this point. Before you fired your first shot, you
were like, hold that thought, and it went straight through his eye into
his brain. Like the other fish, people slowly look over their shoulder and
blink a couple of times at their dead home before turning back and pulling out
these strange looking coral daggers. Oh yeah, no, let's not pretend like
my life ain't marked right now. That's fine, that's I know where this
is going. I did my job. Boys to get out of the net,
Cory, to get out of the net. You're gonna need to make
an athletics chick. Alrighty, what's the target? The target? All?
The target? Number of successes? Yeah, well, there's a lot of
dead weight on the pulling end of the net right now, so you've also
been surprised. So we're gonna add two steps to the difficulty on that.
So it is a four all right, Well I'm spending a fortune point.
Yeah, that's fair enough. And we got momentum in there, right,
we have one, just the one momentum the pool. Are you fucking kidding
sucker in the net? Well you're not getting dragged off at least yep.
You didn't get a complication either. Only one person gets complications in this game
for some reason. Yeah, yeah, I was worried about it for a
minute. There you fire so fast, your boat catches fire, and so
to you also snakes. Now your pants are full of angry se urgeons.
Wow, yeah, you're right, this is complicated. Thanks. I don't
know if it was what you were going for, but definitely some big Medusa
energy there for a second. Oh, I would love to be a Medusa
man. Would I be able to pick up the sword and shield and charge
them or would that be too many? Or getting the sword and shield getting
to them and then using it attack action? So yeah, getting the sword
and shield and stand up would basically count as your your minor and your move.
Okay, if you wanted to move again? Can okay, I you
know what I mean? No, no, no, there is a way
that you can make that work if you spend a fortune point. Okay,
I believe if you spend a fortune point you can grab an extra action.
That's the way that you attack more than once got you. Yes, that
is a fortune point, perform an additional standard action per turn. Okay I
will so, Yeah, you can pick stuff up, run and drop a
fortune to I'm dropping l fortune to do that is it? No? I'm
not gonna give you doom yet I do not feel like done. I wish
whoever, I'm not like you sucks. I've not been burned like that yet.
I'm gonna swing on. I'm gonna swing on one of them. I'm
gonna swing on one of them with my S word. All right, swang
on them. I got the one success. Will that be enough? Oh
god, this is our first weapon versus weapon attack in the game. I
almost forgot about that. You're gonna want to roll an extra D twenty because
you have an S word and he is a dagger, got it? Imagine
number is fourteen. I had an eight. You got another success, so
you have two successes. You know what, I got plenty of doom.
Homeboy's gonna try and parry this just for fundsiats all right, we'll see if
he manages. I don't like his odds, but we're gonna try it anyway.
He could be an extra impressive fish person, but we all know.
Hell, we'll see now. This guy's bitch made. But Corey's dice might
not be bitch whoah. He rolled a nineteen to fifteen. Okay, flips
the knife grip to the one that no one ever uses because it's impractical,
flips it around so it's backwards, and then swings up in this graceful I'm
definitely gonna parry, except you weren't on a downstroke. You were on a
side stroke. And this guy's a fucking moron, straight into his ribcage.
Roll me damage. We'll juice it by the one extra success I got I
have. That's seven? Does that say seven? That's crazy? Seven?
Two effects? We're starting at eight damage and we got two effects. It
is, It is, in fact vicious one. These are not millions of
sets, so okay, all right, So we are at eleven damage?
All right? Is he able to reroll any because he's got some might I
might actually, Oh yeah, you have one zero in there that you can
reroll. I'm suddenly in the moon versus shimi. But you're about to get
some I know. Three is not still a zero? All right? Okay?
Eleven eleven damage and guess what that empty is their vigor pool and does
five damage twice, So you cut this dude clean in half. In fact,
this is the first time since you've been in this valley that you hit
something with a sharp, real sword and you barely felt any resistance. As
you slice through this guy's midsection, Ricardo, upon feeling himself, just goes
the loudest battle cry he can, right in the face of the next fish
man next to him. This was what happened to you, ran. You
can't help but think what it'll feel like when you hit drawn with that sword.
Who I've been thinking about many nights. I believe that leads Fedra.
Yeah, I stand up and brandish my quarter staff, and I imagine I'm
witnessing that literally all that. I too would like to thnd a fortune point
to get another action after I charge in. So you're gonna run in and
then bonk. So here's what I'm imagining, and I would go, you
can tell me how this will work. Okay, So I have a quarter
staff, I don't have the disarm quality on the weapon I have, Perry,
but I'm hoping to do like a golf swing type motion and an attempt
to disarm anyway. All right, So you want to hit him in the
wrist that's holding the dagger. Yes, called shout out to the wrist.
So basically the way this works is you're going to make a normal attack and
if it hits, you can either spend momentum that you got if you have
it, or you could pay two doom to activate the disarm. Okay,
well, first things first, there it is swing. I make no connection.
So this one actually manages to properly block the attack. What a dick
if only just a piece of shit. Well you know what, if he's
engaged with me, he can't attack anyone else. So I'll take that for
what it is. That's true. That doesn't mean I have to like it,
though, No, I mean I was hoping for more two fuck beast
fish people, and now it's time for six fish people to go. Oh
no, Well we did our best, boys, We did two fish people
roll up on Ricardo. They can try. I think that's the point,
honestly. All right, So the first one charges in and he bats the
dagger aside with his sword in side steps, but the second one plunges in
it darts forward unexpectedly with its dagger. Would you like to attempt a parry?
I can, which I can reduce to a minimum of zero because I
have deflection and it's the first time I tried to parry this turn, so
it would have been want would normally be one, So it is zero.
Yep, it rolled perry right, mm hmm. Could you with your fancy
sword. It's pretty sick, yeah, pretty pretty not mad at it.
One success in a complication, the sword breaks a it does have the unbreakable
right, So you basically try to parry this in the same way that you've
been trained to. Oh you parrying with the sword, right? Yes?
Or were you firing with the shield? My shield does not have the pary
quality, so it would have been the sword, gotcha? Okay? You
basically just react with your training and try to swing up and deflect the way
you normally would on this dagger, and your sword shatters it. I see,
and fragments of coral fly right in past your shield and stick into you.
Yeah, okaynade daggers, I see you fish people. I don't think
they were supposed to They're not frag grenade daggers. You just shattered it,
so it just fire trapanneling you. Jesus yikes. All right, the fishman
is just sitting there like it's supposed to be normal. The Fishman's justice confused
as you are, trust me, But I'd rather have a dagger right now.
And you take two points of damage? What's your armor too? And
it is left leg. Do you have you and you have two armor on
your left leg? Also right? Got it everywhere? Yep? Okay,
all right, so yeah, it shoots past your shield and sticks into your
leg armor. However, your armor absorbs the hit. Okay, this dude
no longer. I mean he has the handle of a knife. But that's
about it. That's like being armed. It's somewhat. It's a blunt arms.
He now has a blackjack. It's fine. Oh boy, I love
card games. Come on, I'm getting wait you turn, I can't one
of them rolls up on phedra. Would you like to attempt to parry?
I would love to attempt to parry. The first one's free, so go
ahead and roll me a parry check, perry check, come down the pipe
rolling. There we go. Games. That's three successes. It's pretty nice,
well done. So yeah. The one that you tried to disarm,
you swing in with kind of like a sweeping upward motion towards its wrist.
You don't connect and it just comes in with a straight lunge with the dagger,
and you twirl and bat the dagger out of the way with the back
end of the quarterstaff. Special thanks to Toys and Things in dan Versus,
