Hi everyone, I really like your face. And welcome to Forbidden Lands.
I do. I like all their faces, especially Wax when he when he
realizes he has chocolate. It's a good face. This is nice. It
wasn't that face. It was less strifted. Uh oh my god. Why
can I have a good friendship at least? I think DM me later and
say don't talk again. Hi everyone, and welcome to the finale of Forbidden
Land. I mean, yay, it's very sweet. It's better set much
like the chocolate did you get? Did you get bitter sweet chocolate or dark
chocolate? Because you're alter ego as well? Good brand ninety minute blackout.
That sounds like me. Yeah wait, MINTT, I mean you're probably blackout.
He doesn't like frush fresh hellhower before this show every time we could smell
it. But why But anyway, Hi, let's go quick and say who
you are? Get into the recap all that fun, because again, we
don't want to We don't want to waste any time today, Yes we do,
Yeah you do. You just want this to last forever. Well,
this is not a never ending story unfortunately, So we're gonna start Cat Cat
Who are you? Who do you play? And what's your favorite kind of
chocolate? You look, chocolate covered bacon is amazing, all right, but
it's not my favorite chocolate all right, but I have to say milk chocolate
or like, I don't know, is there like a combination with like chocolate
hazel liut like the tele I guess does that even count? Does it tele
account? Sure it's chocolate. Is it got hazelut in it? Too?
But that's chocolate. I like chocolate hazel nut. That doesn't have to specifically
be uh natilla, but okay, chocolate hazel nuts. Oh, I play
Manossa by the way, I feel good start hi, I'm failin, and
uh I play I play Alkali. I didn't think about that for a second.
I don't know why, but my favorite type of chocolate is definitely dark
chocolate with like coconut. I don't know if you've ever had like those dark
chocolate coconut like cups. Oh my god, it's like coconut butter, not
exactly like the flakes or anything like that. But it's actually really really good.
Fair enough, I don't like I don't like coconuts, so I'll let
you have all of that. Well, I don't like coked nothing against you
for liking it. I just don't okay. But here's a question, though,
do you like okay, do you not like the fake shredded coconut or
do you not like an actual coconut? Both? Both? Okay, because
there's literally two different things, so it's both coconut. I want to make
sure coconut milk I can do in curries. Yeah, exactly the same.
Oh my god, exactly the same. Yeah, thank you, bluddy.
Hi, Hello, Hi, I'm Bloody faster and I play inkit and uh,
favorite chocolate I don't want anyone. No, you can say whatever you
want. My favorite chocolate is white chocolate. I was about to say you
you got defensive before you said it, and I knew there's no, it's
not chocolate. My god, I don't care. Look, I don't care.
I like it, okay, my milk chocolate. Yeah, what would
I call it? What? What should I call it? White substance?
I think milk like it's not a wow. Hi, I am a Millia
Tyler, and my feelings about white chocolate should not be discussed here. I
don't think I think Bloody has had quite enough abuse. An abuse you can
take it, okay, it's the stuff of the devil. It's not real
chocolate, and you need help. You know. I knew I needed help
before that, but okay, now I'm going to get it. It's the
stuff that we give children so that they don't take our chocolate. Okay,
I'm good with that. Like you can give it to me. I'm a
child like cool, you know. Yeah, very disposal unit awesome, exactly,
Desperately trying to wrestle the beginning of the Shaw back to Daniel's control.
My favorite chocolate is anything as dark as possible. I can take some fruit
in my chocolate if need be, but if not, then Cabria's dairy milk,
because it's proper chocolate. And whatever you guys in America eat is just
bizarre. I would like to clarify the same thing that happens with beer for
for everyone in Europe that thinks that everyone in the US drinks the same thing
for a lot of foods, the the like horrible like bargain bin chocolate that
so many, so many kids and stuff consume on Halloween is not the only
chocolate that we have. Wait, so is the Cadbury chocolate different in that?
Here? Okay? So I was gonna say, I was gonna say
when you said Cadbury, I'm like, yeah, it's better. American chocolate
has rasberry added to the milk because it has to be preserved something. Yeah,
not made for you. Okay that you love chemicals, Yeah, thank
you, Millie yack. Uh. I play anxiety and I like the chemical
peanut butter chocolate. I'm a Reese's fiend. Yeah, especially got ticket hourury
peanut butter. I want it. I don't know why you guys they have
real ones though, Like like if you go with uh more like actual organic
brands and stuff and they're pretty good, I'll take give me, give me
that fake yeah, give me. I want my peanut butter. I love.
Yeah, I think like I feel like homemade ones and then like the
the actual like Griese's brand ones are really good, like in their own way.
Mm hm you everything. You can get those like muffin cups that you
normally put muffins in and pour a layer of dark chocolate uh coconut oil and
then your peanut butter on top and put them in the freezer for an hour,
and then you've got your very owns peanut butter cups coconut oil like buried
in too, where I can't taste a coconut. Coconut oil does not taste.
Just do the chocolate and the water, but the blend little but yeah,
it's really good. It's really cool. A month and you don't fill
it all the way. Okay, I gotta go to the kitchen for a
few minutes. You's just go outside outside pies telling us all the way you
fill it up about the size of a races right, and then when it
freezes and you take the silicon off, it has the edges. You wanted
to fill a muffin up with reesis that's what I hear? Yeah, that's
kind of what I wanted to get, really sad at like one a m
all those individual ingredients with a spoon. Oh yes, peanut butter and oh
yeah. Okay, so we agree that nutella is awesome, Millie, Do
we agree on that? Oh yeah? Oh hell yeah. Okay, we're
back on track. Let's go Nepella's actually really go bacon? Oh God,
holy ship, you did bacon in your ice cream? I just want to
know, yes, she does. I haven't done it yet, she has
yet what you have not, I've had been on ice cream, but I
don't like. I haven't actively like dipped it in ice cream. I have
talked chocolate sauce on a steak once that was insanely good. Really, but
like you're kind of vaguely Molly style. Okay, yeah, actually yeah,
it will taste okay, but I just cannot can't. I can't. I'm
not. I'm not going to order, you know, steak with chocolate on
it. You know, we hut. I can't do it. I can't
do it. Are you not entertained? All I gotta say is, if
anybody needs a tip on a streaming and your chat is dead, talk about
food they wake up. Yeah, like you know, you can just say
pineapple pizza, right and just just let chat and plum streamer. I shouldn't
have I shouldn't have chosen chocolate. I made a huge mistake. You did
the voice in our heads? Who are you? And who do you play?
And you already said your favorite chocolate? I think, but you could
do it in a second or two me. Yes, you lovely voice in
our heads. Yes, I'm the voice in your your mind. And my
favorite chocolate is dark chocolate with sea salt or dark chocolate and strawberry are my
favorite. That's good. That's pumpkinberry, by the way, because she didn't
actually save her, it wasn't good. Thanks, strange voice in the distance.
I know, I know, you know, you're not You're not You're
more than that. Uh. And finally, whack, Hi, everybody,
I'm whack. Stephen and I playing a kel Let's go there is He already
showed his favorite chocolate, dark chocolate. Yeah, and I'm domestic. Then
the Gem of Consequences Black wants to play, and you know, so do
I And I think everyone else does here too. Yeah. Yeah, that's
right. Yeah, and dark chocolate all the way. More cookie yep,
I'm sorry. Julie made cinnamon girl girls gout cookies this year. I did
all that. They don't exist in this world, and so we will do
the recap. It is too bad that they don't. Yeah. The last
time on Forbidden Lands, our party found themselves at the ski Lodge, this
tribe of people who lived up in the mountains. Apparently, according to our
adventurers, who had found shelter in a lodge by the rail. This transportation
to the front Line's rail finding a number of frozen, mummified bodies as well
as a new heat source for them to try to recover and rest a little
bit, and went on exploring why this rail stopped, this obstruction that was
detected that just so happened that it was an avalanche working to clear that as
they ran into some trouble, these howling machines in a pack that were attempting
to hunt them, they were able to get away, take out a few,
run, get back on the train, activate it, and plow through
the remaining snow that they had melted, and make their way into their final
destination, Seattle, or so it's called way back when. Unfortunately, as
things tend to go, looking at this barren waste land, broken bent and
blasted skyscrapers, these skeletons of old buildings, and this rail couldn't stop.
Everyone was able to successfully bail out before it slammed into one of these structures
and erupted into fire. From there, the party, knowing where they were,
roughly, looked and walked about, attempting to find their destination where this
transmission from an old one's spirit came out. Avoiding what they specifically, Feyuka
found what was called radiation pockets. They were able to successfully get out and
around those without being harmed, and made their way to what Nevin called the
Seattle Science Center the Pacific Science Center, and it being mostly destroyed save a
dome and a few arches, and made their way in Pilford a few things,
and found themselves on an elevator going down, surrounded by plants growing still
in this harsh, barren environment, in this bunker that they've heard of from
a one doctor cross where they met less than familiar, well semi familiar,
but less than friendly voice and began arguing with this unknown voice about putting away
some sort of weapon and then agreeing to that, and that's real evil.
The elevator has been stopped and you were in almost pitch darkness save some of
the lights surrounding this class elevator showing off plants being tended to buy machines.
Oh, I ask you again, friend or foe? I mean, I'm
putting it back, So we're obviously friends. I wouldn't really say friends though,
more so like acquaintances, like friend, friend, friend friend. Why
are you here? We received a distressed signal and you can do aid or
steal a glare over at manassa This facility is fully armed. I will let
the elevator come down, but if you threaten it in any way, do
I mean why? So clear? Absolutely yes, thank you, and I
apologize on I will not touch anything. Do not apologize on my half.
I can land to hush up sometime and fill it with ah, my goodness.
You don't know who the Sasha is eva cooperating? Am I not?
The lights turned back on, so maybe a little more dim than when you
first entered, and you see more and more plants. You go down what
feels and very much looks like hundreds of feet with this vertical garden, this
vertical farm, and it's glass the elevator. The elevator is glass. You're
able to see this entire facility as you go down, tons of green plants,
most of which you've you may not even recognize the fruit that's on them.
Oh well, I'll say, look at all this stuff, look at
this food? Why is all this here? And there are no people here.
We do not know what is here. We only know what they want
us to see. All we know is that person's name Sasha, and that's
who we need to talk to. Likely and do I add, maybe someone
else would take the reins on talking to Sasha and we moved on, but
it seems like you have not. So you haven't moved on on your attitude,
right, that's what I have, not moved on from Yuka or Alcali.
You should be the ones to talk to Sasha since you have the information.
Maybe even not bring up you know, and he looks down at the
tablet not bring him up at least not yet. Why we would be hiding
stuff that would be untrustworthy. We need to know the motives. And also
if we were coming on here on different premises and then stealing and pissing her
off, maybe we could just be open and we can be open. Okay,
everyone, just be on your guard. The SASA said that there that
this place was armed. We don't know what that means. Yet. We're
here together, not to fight with each other. Okay, relax. Yeah,
let us try not to aggravate anyone this time. Maybe just that includes
making needless jobs. Yeah, can we all agree to that? Okay?
Yes. In the elevator, after a couple of minutes, it feels it's
not a very fast. One reaches the bottom floor. The plants are not
reachable by hand, but you're able to look up and see all those little
machines floating about, grabbing things, moving them. Probably about the size of
maybe a basketball, little little tiny floating robots machines. They look very different
than the animal machines that you're used to. They look a lot more blocky,
less organic. They're floating about, and you're faced with a large hallway
in front that can continue to go down this. How close are those robots
or those mechanics feed up? Okay, So you'd look up and you'd see
them floating, kind of flicking between different plants. Every now and then a
leaf falls to the ground, looked like it was snipped off, and then
another small machine would come out, clean it up and then go back wherever
it was. Look at them, go efficient little things. You need one
of those. Didn't we not just talk about making pointless jabs? Yes,
we did talk about that. Well, let me take this opportunity to say,
if anybody here gets us into trouble unnecessarily by taking things that are not
theirs, everybody, do you always think people are talking about you when something
bad is said, because that's not necessarily a very healthy way to go through
life. Shall we? And then I keep my hands up with pleasure elevator
doors open. Okay, z Ivy just walks through. I wouldn't follow.
I follow along, but I keep my hands up and just a point.
I do have my focus on and I would be looking around just to see
if I see anything, sir. Absolutely, walking through this large corridor,
you would see something familiar to you, at least in its design. Those
printers that you saw in False City, very similar ones are here. As
you're walking down this hallway. There's glass in between the hallway and the printers
that they're absolutely printing what looks like some sort of inkish meat like thing.
Oh now, yes, mm hmm. That is our protein production. Yes,
I have materials. I can feed up to eight hundred people a year.
Say plant materials. You said plant. That is correct, excellent.
Well I like this place better than last one already. What was it that
you did enjoy? Was it? Was it the hurtling downwards terribly faster or
was it the creatures trying to devour you or the cold? I think Manassa
means the last factory. Oh yeah, this is exactly what was there,
except it wasn't plant based. Mm hmmm. I thought maybe there was another
project tethnically there is, but that is not a Valkon sign anymore. All
right, yours is much better, by the way, this project thing,
thank you, You're welcome. You approach a large set of doors at the
end of this with the words above it project Sasha. Question, Sasha,
are you an AI or an actual person? Both? I think? Oh
you seems like I keep telling you no difference. Thank you? Shall we
proceed through that door? All right? Are there any surprises for us on
the other s side of the store? No, I may have been lying
about the facility being armed. I just the last group of individuals that came
through here were not kind. How long ago was that? Eight weeks?
What a few weeks? What happened to them? If you don't mind me
asking? They thieved and left? Oh? Well, that's just wrong.
I'm sorry. Wait, you're telling me out here there were people just a
few weeks ago, that is correct? Did did they did they give you
their names or anything? Or did they just they were not friendly? Oh?
Snow, they did not get into the heart of the facility. However,
I'm sorry, that's why there were those things outside. I have not
seen any tracks. If you'd like I can scan for life signs. Absolutely,
please, We went all this way. We didn't see any signs of
anything else being disturbed. How did they get here? That's they already here?
The weather might have hidden their tracks Sea tribe. Wait time again.
I detect six six, what Sasha, life ones? Six creatures not humans?
Does that include us? No, it does not include you. And
I'm a little certain, but they might be more beast than human. But
they are intelligent organic? Yes? Oh how many they're walking on? It's
very difficult for me to tell. Wait a minute. Back at Falls City,
Dirtrick or whatever his name is, yeah, him, he said that
there were some things between them and where we are now, of some kind
of creatures that used to be something that turned into something else, maybe due
to the what's the word radiation? Well, all we found out about from
areas was that that radiation would kill us. No, that was Nevin was
the one who don't. Well, but if that's the case, we've been
warned. We have not come across us any intelligent beings of organic nature.
And here we are. Yeah, I assure you, radiation cannot reach you
here. You are safe. Oh that's good. Are those life forms outside
the facility or in here. Oh no, they are outside, I believe.
Okay. I've had to redivert a lot of my power to sustain the
facility. All right, so some of my sensors are not optimal at the
moment. We're familiar with power diversion. Okay, so six of them,
six of us. Well, why do we have to fight them? No,
we don't know yet. They can often, if you'd like, I
can open the doors when they arrive. No, no, wait, no,
no, why Sasha, when you say that they come often? What
do they do when they come often? Do they come inside the facility?
No? I don't let them in? Oh all right, Well, what
exactly do they do when they come by? Loot? Sometimes they get aggressive.
It seems like they're looking for something. But it is difficult for me
to tell. Do they speak to each other at all? It's hard for
me to tell. I don't have audience upstairs. It could be it could
be a form of scavenger that we're dealing with. But if they're looking for
something specific, then wait, what is the purpose of this facility? She
also said they were more beasts than man. Well, still have another door
if we if we venture further in, like Nichel is saying, Sasha might
be able to fill us in a little bit more to save humanity. I've
been waiting three hundred and fifty four thousand, seven and eighty days for humans
to come here. But I have vernical farming, a one hundred acres worth.
We can feed eight hundred people a year. The door plant protein.
That's another eight hundred a year. That's sixteen hundred people that can be fed
a year with inside this bunker. That's amazing. Thank you. I'm not
I'm not sure even you could hat that. Okay, well do you try
me? Asha? Can you open the door? Please? Absolutely? Thank
you, Thank you. Sasha sitting there struggling trying to open it, and
the door opens, maybe because of you or because of Sasha. I want
you greeted with what looks like a tribal meeting room, but old one style,
large table in the middle, a number of old one screens, some
of them off, some of them flickering, some of them on, and
spitting out a lot of old one text that it's hard to decipher. But
those of you who've been in ruins have seen this before. There's just textas
flying. There's no blue pedestal like you're used to, especially when talking with
an ai or a spirit alkali on the screens. Am I able to make
anything out? Or no? If you walk up to them, you can
roll for it. Yeah, I'll go ahead and do that. Okay,
difficulties seven? Okay? Would I be able to apply artifact knowledge to that
in this case? Yes? Okay, thank you. I'll apply one point
of effort. Okay, it's moving too fast and you don't recognize enough of
the words. Occasionally you pick out kind of what Somesophis said. Low power
on emergency reserves, find new power source, divert power, a bunch of
things talking about power. M Sasha. That distress signal we received? Yes?
That was by or well, we received a message from a doctor Cross.
Yes? Who was doctor Cross? Or? Who is she created me?
Is she alive? No? Sadly she passed three hundred and fifty four
thousand, seven hundred and eighty days ago. So I'm sorry for your loss.
Thank you? Well? Are we gonna go meet Sasha? Where are
you? Sasha? I'm here. I look around not set up like air.
You see the room? There are pictures on the walls, more old
one pictures you see a middle aged woman with glasses in most of them,
not in the kind of white robes you saw in the Aries facility at Site
ATA, But you see that's she's the same person in a number of photos.
And they're around old ones, machines, they're holding plants. They look
really happy. But no major machines in this room like you saw in the
room with aries. You must miss them very much. Kh What did the
distress say? Exactly? Because I'm still in my head asking myself, why
are we here? Well, maybe Sasha can fill us in your survivors for
it too bloody? Right? Did she not know that they are more?
Are there more far away where we're from? Really? How many thousands?
Yeah? Thousands? Was there another facility? Was there another project? No?
No? Oh, now, now you don't know that you didn't know
them about this one? Yes, sir, why did you call us here?
I in order to keep the facility running. I've I've been diverting power
and my power is low. I was calling for aid. Uh what do
you have locations of other power sources? No? Aid? Yes? Oh,
you said that your purpose was to save us? Yes? Where were
you when we needed you? I have been here waiting, Miquel, you
can't be serious, of course, I am mm hmm. That's on your
mind, Nikael, Aris Hades. MM. Every time we encounter one of
these hey I, as you say, they say that they were made to
protect us, to help us. Mm hmm. I recognize Hades. Hades
blocked my network. I was unable to send a message until Hades was defeated.
So he's your phone. I suppose you could say that, yes,
this is a turn of events because Aries had no idea. Remember, Aries
was also diverting power in order to maintain the facility, so he couldn't help.
He wouldn't He might have known how many of you are there, Sasha.
I actually didn't know if there were any others. Of course not.
It's easier to keep them separate. On top of that, we probably have
multiple groups working on multiple things. The world we live in is very large.
The old ones will probably spread out and maybe communications failed. We can't
think that this land that we stand on is the only piece of land.
The pitch is much bigger than what we think. What we thought, Sasha,
the last hey I like you that we encountered, their name was Aries,
and they were trying to protect humanity as well by producing some pretty awful
weapons of war. I would say, there's no weapons here. Seems like
this facility was for survival of you know, not combat. Different needs,
right, I just want to confirm, though, So what's your main directive
su sustaining human life via this facility which makes food, shelter, blocks any
harmful radiation or plague. We are the last hope, we are the bunker.
So if you're made to sustain human life, why were you so angry
with us when we first turned up? For us? Because the last batch
that I ran into were not They stole, They were not here to help.
And I will not let this facility be threatened. So we must do
something in exchange for the food and the tiny little fellas zooming about to plant
stuff? Do we well? There is no must exchange. It's just a
simple matter of fact. I am running law on power. I have been
running for three hundred and fifty four seven and eighty days longer without anyone here
to help me. I know that failing. So what needs to be done?
Let's say we want to help. She needs power, I need help
diverting power. There's a residential district nearby that I have cut off. There
we go. That's what I'm looking for. Okay, well I can temporarily
shut myself down and scan if you'd like, now keep yourself on. It's
probably better that way, is it now? Yes? I think so?
We also have have Nevin right, maybe they should meet. I think it's
fun. You know what, I'm not even going to say it. Yes,
I agree Sasha. Yes, you said you never met another AI like
you? That is correct. Would you like to meet one? I would
love that he's a bit fresh? Mm hmm. I would pull out the
PDA. Nevin. Wait a moment. We still don't know everything about We
still don't know everything about Sasha. Every time we have visited one of these
ais, something bad has happened. Mm hmm. But the fault is always
in their creator. Agree, you don't have any information yet. One more?
Are you wanting? You want to scout? Yes, see more of
the facility. I agree. I make an agreement than al Calacer. Would
you like a tour? Yes? I have waited so long to give a
tour. I can tour you through the whole facility, Nikel, is it
yes? I understand your apprehension. I was apprehensive when you approach the doors
as well. But I should very much like to make it up to you
how you will find no door unlocked here, Mikeel, You will find no
weapons, although I would very much like to show you my park. Park.
What is park? It is a place where young cumans play and gather
together. It is just beyond the garden if you'd like to head in that
direction. Are there any place any particular? No, are there any places
within this facility that have any sort of information that would be useful to us?
Yes? I have databases upon databases of information of before, but unfortunately
I've had to shut that down and partition it due to my lack of power.
So if we help you with your power issue, you'd be able to
grant us success. That is correct. Let's find out where I say we
get her power. Let's find out where and what this power will do.
Well, she already told us what the power you know source could be.
I understand what she said, but I want to see it. Would you
like me to do a scan? I can shut down and do a proper
scan. No, do you not? I mean as in, because quel
Nikkeel wants to see I'm not asking to go Manasa, how aren't you listened?
For once I am know where her power is being diverted within the facility,
what is powering, where it's actually going, and what the purpose is
on this power has been diverted to the food sources and the water. Will
we be able to see where it will be once your full power? What's
operational in this facility and what's not? What will be absolutely? Perhaps I
could share a map of the facility on this screen. M would there are
helpful? Thank you? I will try. Would there actually be a way
to upload it to this and I would hold out my PDA? What is
his device? Well? If if you don't know, then I guess it
doesn't matter. Well let me try. Okay, can you set it on
the table? Here? Is it vogged? Is that when I think it
is? Uncle? I it's the other one. I set the second PDA
that I had onto the table. Yeah, sn from Asia. Now it
did work. After a few moments looking at it. You can pull up
a different map, not the one sending you in this direction to the facility,
but rather one of the facility. And it looks a little weird because
maybe you touch it to kind of move it a little bit and it rotates
slightly. It's a three D model rather than a top down due to the
verticality of this facility. See that there is another elevator past this room that
leads down to the garden, the park, residential district, medical facilities,
entertainment, nursery, schools, and this is all within the facility itself.
Correct, But you do see a few spots schools, residential medical, They've
all been redded out. A big scheft that you came down from in the
elevator is labeled the farm. That hallway you have is the butcher. Huh.
Impressive jobs, Sasha, Thank you. I can't take all the credit.
Doctor Cross was an amazing woman, and I'm sure she would be sad
to see I have diverted power away from entertainment, and but I really needed
to. She told me, if anything happened, people still needed that,
so don't immediately cut it. Okay. I waited a long time. Well
you did good. Thank you, so Sasha, you're welcome. Yes,
were there were there ever people here other than doctor Cross? And what exactly
happened? There was a raid? Doctor Cross told me, yes, she
was on the other side of the door. She told me see it off,
Sasha, they will come. Just wait. I don't like that.
Sound like that a rate of organics on machines. I was unable to out
those bodies have to be seen up there. I don't have very good sensors
outside the facility. Unfortunately, she was my best friend. I'm going to
turn to Fuca and look at her and say, you know, I thought
you were crazy at first when you said that we were like, But I
think I'm starting to understand what you meant by that. It's not just them,
it's everything. Humanity has a dreadful habit of thinking they're special. M
you are special. Everything's special. The sun rising in the morning is special,
the grass growing and trees and it's all special. We may be unique,
but we're no more worthy of respect. And this lady here, oh
your little friend, thank you, and you speak, you speak, is
one I've seen both sides of the coin. That must be quite the experience,
Okla, Yes, I'm not an expert with these things. However,
in observing with what happened with Aries, Aries developed a sense of self preservation,
even with his mission or his order. I think the same thing happened
here with Sasha. She's learning, she's thinking for herself, creating a personality
of her own, but still trying to follow orders. However, Aries in
the end was quite twisted. I think Sasha is essentially the opposite. Was
he twisted? I don't think it seems he's layal only and logical. To
me, people when they're threatened go one of two ways usually, and it's
all about survival. I meant twisted in his mission? How is it fault?
He was just missing some information? All right? Well? You know
what I mean? No one and the same. Sasha is loyal and dedicated
to what she was created to do. And Latina can tell we have the
same desire doctor cross and eye mhmm, Which is be that last hope to
help humanity survive? I would love nothing more, and I mean it.
I would love nothing more than to see this facility full of people. I
can't help you out with that more than just one of us. Well,
to think another group of us walking around booh enough noise with you? Love,
Well, I don't know about you, but I think I've had enough.
It's a bit tragic, don't you think Since it's old ways, this
facility with everything you would need to survive, to thrive, even it doesn't
need to be magic. It was way out here this whole time, and
puns. People were scared to come out here, not just scared enough strangers.
It wasn't merely fear, the work, was it. There were people
that left and never returned. There was no word. You don't know what
happened to them. If they had to go through half the stuff we went
through, i'd be an explanation. That's why we're doing it. We at
least I am. I still have to make great trade route, so I
still plan on coming back. Everything happens for a reason, and sometimes we
don't even need to know what that reason is. Sometimes we just do.
I don't want to let Sasha down as much as she doesn't want to let
us down, or doctor Cross, so come to your senses. I will
go either way. But my mind is made, and he kind of leans
up against the door. Sasha. Yes, you don't make machines here,
do you. No. I keep the machines that are currently here running,
but again they are not weapons. They simply help with the crops water.
Can you show us the rest of this place? I would love to,
and even though it might take a little bit of extra power. I hope
you forgive me for lighting your way. Now. First, up to your
left, you will see a large vertical garden. It spans two thousand feet
vertically. I believe I mentioned you can feed eight hundred people a year.
Hmm. We're going to go past this garden all right, to the rest
of the facility for you. Let's go Asiety puts his hand on Nicael's shoulder
signs of a leader, and he walks ahead, and he would see the
party walking through this facility, touring it as Sasha maybe seeming like she's rambling,
excited to talk to people for the very first time in a very long
time, pointing out medical facilities, maybe lighting up windows. If you want
to walk in, she'd likely open the door for you, but very little
power would be going to it, so it would look fairly empty, but
supplies everything that you probably would have wished for. But an old one form
is everywhere comfortable looking beds. When you get to the residential area, enough
for about sixteen hundred people, give or take, you could have an entire
village here and then some without any problems whatsoever and be sustained indefinitely. Anxiety
walks up to MK. He runs up to it. Hey, hey see
that area right there? Yes, what about anxiety and m K crofts?
Yes, everything there. You can make a workshop a workshop. Yeah,
if we could get those those those floating machines and we could study them and
see what makes them work, if we could make it from yeah, making
our own Okay, but we don't want to No, no, I mean
not not like not not destroy them, but just study them. And yeah,
I know this food. Do you see this food? So this food
everywhere I see that you're excited. Yeah, m okay, Sasha, Sasha,
Sasha, I have a question for you. I have an answer,
yes, okay, So I have these these rations. Is here a way
that we could tell maybe you could, I don't know, work your your
your your your magic and analyze it and see what it's made of. We
should do that later when she has more power. Okay, I'm just asking.
I would be very happy to answer any questions you have. Yes,
okay, Asasha answered me this once we get you more power. Yes,
would there be a way to scan or I don't know, determine a safer
route to where we once came from? You'd believe no, that's not what
That's not what I'm intending. I'm a merchant, and I came out here
to hopefully find other people to establish trade. Oh and I see your facility
in all its glory, and the only thing it's missing is people. Yes,
So what I like to do, if we do get you more power
is bring the people. Yes. To answer your question, yes, I
can't do that. We can do a scan, and I would insist that
before you leave this facility, you let me do a scan anyway for radiation
pockets or anything that might hurt you. Absolutely. But aside from that,
I wasn't sure if I should mention this because I didn't want it to seem
manipulative. But if I do have power, I could perhaps send a stronger
signal, a much much much stronger signal. H gotta reach more than just
where we were at. Yes, back where you are from, and we
can attach a safe route. Well, I don't know about you. That
sounds like a good idea to me. Now you're thinking like a merchant.
I would have gone with pilgrim, but merchant works as well. We were
going to be great business partners, you and I, Sasha. I can
see it already that is a business partner. I'll tell you more when we
get more people here. Wait a minute, but what if that signal reaches
bad people? Then we protect it? Really just us, We're gonna stay
here, protect this whole facility. Well that's what we're gonna go. No,
no, not just us. A then who others that will come?
We could the knowledge that we have, we could send the signals sequentially to
the people we want to know, having that knowledge first, like people back
home, get reinforcements, and then continue to send signals further out. There
are many people that have lost their homes mm hmm from Meridian and lost their
homes exactly. I don't know about you, but I am ready to get
some some of this dream answered. Agreed the prospect of doing trade again.
Sasha, Let's get us some power. Yes, you've had a very difficult
journey. I apologize if I am hesitant. Understandable. I was hesitant at
first. Two I find myself trying not to get my hopes up, and
then realizing I have hopes at all. I am very glad you're here.
Could I ask one favor before you venture out for power? Of course,
I have these tomatoes and some food. What is a tomato? Honestly,
I don't know. And the part that gives me that information has been it's
a questioned a way to serve power. So it's honestly it's been driving me
nuts for you know, probably about four thousand days now. I would just
love if perhaps you had a meal. Oh, I know who would love
that? This tomatoes food? Yes, it is a fruit. I believe
it grows on a vine. But I've been wondering how it tastes and what
purpose it serves for quite a while since I Okay, good, definitely taste
it. Okay, will it poison me? No? Absolutely not. There's
nothing poisonous in this. Okay, let's go tomato time. Where can I
find careful? How you phrase that? Sasha m k has been known to
eat whatever she may find on the ground. Okay? Can we not say
that to anyone we meet? Can I have like a clean slate with someone
new? I will go with her and test this tomato as well. I
think it was pronounced to talk too right, tomato tomato? Wait a minute,
I have toes can say a round red fruit veg? Okay, good
as as my fleshy. Alright, let's go where to it. I'll like
the way unto Mato do Mato. As your walking through the facility, if
if you have your map out, Alkali, you would see be going towards
what is called the mess, the mess. I lean in to ALCOHOLI extremely
close and obviously within her personal space. What's that? Uh? The map
obviously talking about that right there and pointing at the mess. I'm not sure,
uh, Sasha, Yeah, what is this room? Okay? And
I don't have the medical facility open? Okay, okay, okay, I'm
sorry. I get excited with food. I just really like food. I
know you wouldn't have guests. Mm hm, I'm sorry, Alkohali. What
was your question? Well? What is this room labeled the mess? Mess?
Uh? As far as I understand, that means that means a lot
of clutter or litter. Unfortunately some of my knowledge has been again partitioned away
and sealed for now. But it is where you dine, where you enjoy
meals with friends or family or your community. Is it because you make a
mess while you eat? Perhaps K has solved it, ha ha ha.
Doesn't mean it's a challenge, mk. Well, whether it was or not,
challenge are accepted Okay, where do we stand? What do we do?
There are a number of tables lined with chairs, and you can definitely
see there's a lot of seating here, enough to fit several hundred people at
one time. It's a huge room. And one little table as little robots
that flew in from before. And there's this red fruit in the center of
a couple of plates, and alongside those there's some slices of said red fruit.
These are the feeders. Please, don't be threatened. They're just bringing
food. Hello, they're bringing food. Yes, do you have any extras?
I feel like Fuca wants a pet. Oh exactly, we need everyone.
They're not pets, just doing their job, same as you miss trade
all rite touchet. Okay, well mkay, you want to do the honors
first? Yes? Yes, yes, Sasha? Is that the tomato?
Yes, okay, take your time, don't okay, I I will take
a slice tomato slice put in my mouth. It tastes like tomato, is
it, Josy, You're not going to describe one of tomato tastes like dam
it's how is it? It's delicious? It's it's juicy anti then yes,
but also the texture, it's it's it's weird, it's it's Does it induce
crying? Because you're crying right now? Are you all right? I'm okay,
it's just it's so beautiful. Explode all the juice exploded in my mouth.
Yes, that's very similar to other fruits. So that makes sense that
it also had the seeds not too right. Yes, that's so strange.
I would have thought for sure it was a vegetable. Thank you for answering
that question for me. Yes, of course you should try. You should
all have some all have some hand it to make. They don't make told,
and if not, I'll try it for you and tell you how it
is. Yes, yes, just just put it, all right, I
pick up a slice with like my two fingers. I'm gonna grab a tomato,
a full on tomato, and I'm going to shove it in Zayer's mouth,
like all of it. I've been eating it of you, But I
don't mind taking Those who eat tomatoes, by the way, get a free
recovery. Oh, probably eat one like an apple, like I eat way
too much of it. Sure, I would just grab a slice, rips
and yeah, very fresh. I'd watch all of them for a bit and
kind of see them more happily munching away and grab one of the slices and
just half heartedly nibble at its fresh fruit, not one you've had before,
fresh fruit partitioned away are I believe tomes of information on how to prepare food
in different a variety of ways to make it tasty. So you will have
access to that as well once we have power, and then you can try
making things yourselves. They go, NIKEL, you can cook us food.
Oh, this is the best day of my life. I mean the old
ones do it. Maybe they have like pulsions something that you can mix.
Well, now I understand why they call this place a mess. That's that
wasn't me. Yeah, she's you might want to why all over? Actually
it's on her shirt, my shirt. Yeah, well excited they tell what?
I could go run. I don't think you're supposed to eat through it.
I think you're supposed to eat around around it. What do you mean
through it? I ain't the whole thing. I don't know taste the good
Okay, I'm not supposed to No, no, all of it. That's
fine, just less messy way to eat it. If you call it the
slices for us, if you're gonna eat just goll in, I say,
messing all while, will you enjoy your meal? If it is all right
with you, I would like to do a precautionary scan of the area for
you before you go on your search for power. Does this mean that you
will shut down for a few moments? Yes, she will be safe.
I assure you. The doors will be locked all right. Thank you,
Sasha. You are most welcome to say that. Finally, thank you,
Sasha. Seems like Nevin will have a great friend. Guess the caps little
playtime together and whatever. I don't know, PDA or something that they I
don't know what they do. Think that we could you know what? Never
mind, never mind, never mind, never mind, forget, forget,
forget. I started this. Power flickers and dims for a moment. We
may even hear a small electrical buzz. Lasts maybe ten fifteen seconds, feels
like a minute or two, and then the power goes back to what seems
like normal lights turned back on. I have a map of radiation pockets for
you, and then exactly where you need to go to get power. Wow,
let's get started. Of course, I also didn't see the life forms
nearby, but I will keep scanning regularly. Is there a way we will
be able to communicate Alkali Can and Fayuka can commune with the spirits? We
have focuses? I don't. I don't know if that helps. And I
also have am I a spirit in a way? May I see it?
I would push back in my hood? We recognize those Sasha there, Doctor
Cross had one. A number of people had those focus as you know what
they're called. Oh, that's a signal point. I can absolutely use that.
May I interface with it? Your face? What exactly does that mean?
It means I can't connect to it? Oh? Yes, why not?
All the other noise and buggers are constantly talking at me. You might
as well join your voice to the group. Then I will do just that.
M Hello, only you two hear that? Now? Hello Sasha,
Hello, I've never done this before. It's exciting. It's working all right.
Well, now you have two AI beg us to talk to you at
the same time. Alcohol we all do. Well, perhaps we should be
on our way then, agreed. Do you have the map? Uh?
Sasha? Are you able to send that map to this PDA? Just take
one? She should thank you? Oh? Yes, thank you. I
didn't see it. Yeah, I have. The map shows more or less
the original map of Seattle, because that's all Sasha had in her original database
to overload or to overlay it. And you see a number of red circle
zones throughout the map and it's been very clearly labeled radiation. Mm hmm.
What I want to go? There? There's a path that kind of fishes
through a bit that leads to pretty decent path for you to follow. Thank
you called Celetti le Soletti, lou yes, bless you solely? Is she
what is that newt? Is she going crazy? Lady? I don't know.
I think she's kneez bless you. No, No, it's it's the
name of this place right, a place where in Yes, no, no,
I think is the place we're going. What are you? What are
you talking about? We can't hear any place with power. It's where were
I believe, I'll be honest. Any relevant information I partitioned away and I
may have I'm maybe getting the name slightly wrong, but this is what I'm
calling it. Letty lay very well? Lay? Oh okay, so Letty
lay, if you could lead the way right, please be careful before we
got sasa. Yes, oh, yes, yes, okay, do you
have any medical supplies that we can take with us? Maybe postions or I
do have a medical facility, although I believe power has been diverted away from
it. If you'd like, I can try to reopen it. No one
will hear. Do you have oh? What were they called? Sty styme
steyme? Oh? The stems stuck? Yes, yes, yes, the
thing I said you with. Yes, you have. I can try to
overpower and open the door if you'd like. Would you like me to do
that might be worth it? Yes? Please? Yes, yeah, absolutely,
sary great idea. All right, sorday, Since you were the one
who asked you for the one who gets to roll, that is going to
be an int check Difficulty five okay, um in, check in, check
in check five me sure I have anything else that's gonna give me some lovely
stuff? Yang, all right, Difficulty five one effort. No, I
sa site. Diverting that much power could potentially harm your plant production. After
you start doing it. You're giving me the opportunity to deny him after the
role. Okay, I can try to divert his power, but it could
potentially threaten the the food source. Why do we need the power exactly why
either you want to open the medical facility, but it might endanger the food
that's not done. Yeah, yeah, is there no way to open the
door without power? Open which door? No? Unfortunately not and I would
prefer if you didn't damage the facility. Understandable. Okay, all right,
let's go. Everybody good. I may I take a few tomatoes and just
sing them into my pack. Take as much as you like. Thank you,
thank you, thank you. I take some more. Hendry had taken
a lot. Yes, this is this is a stretch. But have you
ever seen a man who looks kind of similar to me? It would have
been years ago, not not recently. I wish I could say yes to
you, Alkali, but I have not not. I've seen no one since
doctor Cross put a hand on Alkali's shoulder. Hey, you never know what
we might fight, we might find out there. No, it's it's fine,
it's fine. Just wants let's go. Thank you, Suh to save
and come back. Hm. I intend to need more tomatoes. Tomatoes,
yes in my shop. Okay. Anxiety just walks out the door towards the
I guess we're going through the elevator. Okay, okay, yeah, yeah,
whichever way was indicated by Alkali or Sasha. Mm hmm. And that's
the elevator. You came back down through the garden the vertical farm. I
will grab Alkali, buy the hand and pull her back a little bit and
look at her and say, hey, mm hmm, are you going to
be okay? Yeah? It was uh, it was a stretcher, I
know. But listen when, not even even if when, because we most
definitely will when we come back here and get the power working, we'll send
a stronger signal and hopefully it'll reach him. I hope. So I'd like
to give him a punch in the face. I would like to see that.
But keep your hopes up. Yeah, let's let's go, all right,
and the two of you joined the rest on the elevator and the glass
doors close. It begins. It's a sin and that's world. Take our
break, alrighty Tomato, I'm creaking tomatoes right now. I'm crazy tomatoes,
raw man, I don't have any either tomatoes. All right, we'll take
our quite three to five break right here. Thank you all for joining us
for the finale of Forbidden Lands. Yeah, so go go to the restaurant.
Go get some water, go get a beverage, watch the Pitts mittens.
And this is not necessarily technically the final day. You can look at
it, but do remember we have some cool stuff with money, cook games
with this awesome system, and please go follow these wonderful people. And you
happen to have I don't know, ime gaming sub free was it one of
them or here any of that, and yeah, we'll see you shortly.
Hello everyone, and welcome back the Forbidden Lands. Our party is currently in
Project Sasha's facility, going up the elevator and out through the garden, as
Sasha called it, the vertical farm, a little robot zipping about. Now
you understand maybe a little bit more, and you can actually see some tomatoes.
You recognize those, but there's still other fruits and vegetables that you've never
seen before. Some you have, there's your porn and other veggies and some
leafy greens. But there's just so much, so much food. And you
make it to the top of the elevator and the door opens for you.
I'm immediately on defense mode. Okay, go ahead and give me a perception,
mister defensive, a difficulty three. I think we work fine for this
all right? Success, Okay, nothing in your immediate vicinity in this dome
of the science center. All right, let's make our way up, all
right, Alkalai, you lude the way, I'll follow behind. Yeah,
m Fayuka, if you could keep an eye out for any of those radiation
areas, just make sure that we don't get close to them. I'll try.
I think they're marks on the map. More well, I'll be able
to spot them. I'll point them out as we go along, and then
you can keep an eye out to make sure that there's nothing that surprises us.
Wait. Question, did Sasha upload herself to both of your focus or
what was it? Just? I believe it was both both of us.
Can hear her? Makes me feel better? M hm? Okay, all
right, are you ready? Let's go back into the cold. Let's do
this. Yeah, you feel you definitely feel a bunch more of a chill,
though it's not near as bad as the mountains. A light snow falls
onto the black and soil and ground they began walking, Alkali, I would
love a few checks from you as well as Fayuka. They will be separate
and different though, so for you, Alkali, you are going to be
making a tracking check basically checking landmarks. You can't really use your photographic memory
here because you haven't walked through this area yet that you're going. I do
have a skill called navigation though, since I do have a map, would
that be applicable? Yes, it would, because you're able to find your
way around. So that does make it a difficulty free tracking check for you
rather than six okay, And that's intellect. Yes, you auto pass under
four if she is trained trained in it. That's that's the only kicker,
which I don't think this is like perception. I think this would be more
speed based, I think than because we normally tracking I believe is used for
speed, unless you can argue otherwise, Well, I mean I would be
pretty much using mostly like my brain power to like calculate based off of the
map. Okay, so in about this distance away there should be this landmark.
Okay. From this landmark, we would be going this way. I
would be taking my time with this, Okay, then I'd say, and
would work there for sure. And then for you, Feyuka, You're going
to be doing a similar check, but more with perception and looking around with
your focus, so that as Alkali goes Okay, over there, there's a
radiation pocket according to the map. Can you tell us where the edges so
we don't get close. That's also going to be a difficulty six perception check
intellect, that is intellect if you do not have a perception skill. Correct.
I applied a point of effort as well. Okay, great, and
you're successful. You can point those pockets out, no problem. As you're
walking through the city, see how well? Okay, so you're able to
point out roughly the area that Yuka. It's a little hard because unfortunately,
radiation does seem to affect your your spirit finder. Shall we say a little
bit? Who's in the lead? Who's all? How you walking through this
dead city? I'm last. I think I'd be behind Okay, are you
upfront with Alkali as well Fiyuka or are you behind or in the middle looking
out? I'd probably be closer to the middle, okay, uh Binasa anxiety?
Where are you? I would be next to Fuka? Okay, I'd
be in between Fijuka and uh Nickel off to the side a little bit,
not so far, but just gotcha. You're just you're not in a straight
line so much that you're off in the middle on the side, I'm looking
for organics or or just trying to keep eye out from movement for sure,
for sure or track okay. Uh So as you're walking and doing that,
the two up front, so that would be Nikekel and Alkali, I'm going
to need a speed defense from both of you. Difficulty five oh from muswell?
H No, just the two up the closest up front, got it.
As they're walking, I'll also be applying a point of effort. Okay,
h a right, okay, all right. So it's a good thing
that A nineteen was rolled there because you're able to kind of catch with your
navigation before you're like, we're getting close, and for Youku is watching to
make sure that you don't get too close. Unfortunately Fayuca is not quite able
enough to do that. But alcohol you immediately stop and like put a hand
on Nikel before he can walk any closer. Wait, that's wrong, move
this way dangerously close to one of those pockets. Get closer to me,
all right, we're really really close to one of these. We need to
be careful. Do I see see anything different? Yeah, that's the scary
part about this. Thank you, damn could I check for tracks of these
iminoid things that were outside moments before. Absolutely, go ahead and give me
a difficulty six racking check. That would be speed if you don't have anything
for that. Do you following identified tracks? You said difficulty six? I
feel correct if you have find identified tracks, that would be a skill you
do you see? Yep? And I feel like I have something else that
I might have. Just let me read over this real quick. Sure he
could probably help me look as well. Yes, increase the effects. That's
not that's not it. That's not it. Okay, all right, I
know the stand watch wouldn't work for this because you're moving on moving yep,
all right, difficulty six. Yeah already, he said, I can roll
as well if you see him tracking. I didn't say that, but you
totally can. Oh, I'm sorry. I don't know that I would.
I would be worried about what alkalai? Okay, yeah, so if you're
focused on that, then no, okay, all right. You find old
tracks. They're partially covered in snow, so you know they haven't been here
immediately. But you see eat like human feet kind of, but then you
also see hands. It looks like there's a lot of crawling around on all
fours. You see maybe a couple sets of tracks like your hell, come
here? What is it? Diari? Look at this unnatural movement? Not
too fresh, but this might be what Sasha was talking about. What's unnatural
about them? They are hands and feet. If you measure the distance between
the two, it's almost like they run on all fours. The scary part
is it almost looks human the beasts. Do those look like regular human sights?
Feet and hands. What bothers me is that they're running around in the
snow. They are strange. The pattern doesn't make sense. It's very sporadic.
You need to be on God. Everyone makes sure your weapons are clear
and ready. I take out my tear bluster once he says that, I'm
already holding few cans here. Now my boat would be out. I don't
know how they will act. They are intelligent, so maybe we should not
be the first ones to strike immediately, watch their movements and judge off of
that. Well, from here, let's just be quiet and try to make
our way from point A to point B. Hopefully we won't run into these
things with these people. Hopefully we will if they're an engagement to Sasha just
keep moving, move around this way. We don't want to hit this pocket
here, okay, right? Alkali? All right, Sasha, I believe
I yes, if you would like, I believe I can upload her some
sort of device that will allow you to more accurately determine the radiation levels.
If you'd like me to try. I'm fairly confident I could do it.
Could you? Could you upload that to booth? Uh? Both mine and
and fucus focuses of course, if Fucus are right with it, hukah,
yes, m hmm is there? Yes, then you hear me right,
yes, and you are okay with it? Okay with what I hate you.
I would like to update your device to allow for a proper I believe
it's a Geiger counter. It should allow you to properly assess the radiation more
than just a pocket that I have given you on an app. So I'll
be able to see it, yes, able to see the levels as they
are changing and as you approach M detect radiation m hm Hey Sasha, yeah,
is there a similar app for you, know, to find food sources?
I don't believe so. I've been working on this since you left the
facility. You don't hear that, by the way, And well, Sasha,
don't mind you. You just said that out loud, which is fine,
but you didn't heard. I did hear though them talking about the apps,
right, correct, That's why I said you. You don't hear the
response. Okay, thank you, Sasha. I will try that now.
Okay, Alkali, go ahead and give me an Uh, this would be
an artifact knowledge check difficulty six as well. Uh, burning through that effort,
I'm gonna put two points. Let's oversworth it, all right, Okay,
success, Okay, success. You should both be able to access it
now and almost immediately you begin to hear as you're walking around this pocket kind
of a Please keep in mind one point five to two will not be lethal
in short term. Uh. Four or five, however, we'll kill you
within sixty days, and ten or higher will be a matter of hours to
try to keep these levels when you're walking. Uh, what is Sasha saying?
Okay, so she's sent me this this device and fewke as well.
It's going to help us properly detect the radiation levels. But I'm gonna have
to be paying attention to to to the sounds. We need to be careful,
so you're going to listen to sounds while also lean us Feyuka, can
you keep an eye on this radiation? Well, she says she's done something
to my I don't know. Do you hear that too, Fuca? Yes,
amongst other things. Can you move away from it? It subsides to
almost nothing sound wise, that's overwhelming. Get used to it distracting bloody things?
Want me again, how she came have one of those in the first
place. You need to keep moving mm hmm, yes, agreed, lady.
You need to follow behind either Alkali or Fuca. Okay, don't just
go off on your own. You can't detect those things. I am not.
I am right here. Okay, Well, just don't say don't definitely
probablation, because she says if it's a high numbers, you'll be dead really
quickly, So do that stay in mind, all right? All right?
I plan not to die any sooner than I stood. Okay, okay,
yeah, ha ha ha. I stay super uncomfortably close to Fuca, like
right behind her. Could you wait, maybe you don't want to die.
We'll step in my foot printstone invade my personal all right, how can I
please? Yes, be Gael, you got my back, always could move
forward. Okay, we continue walking down this old street, the shells of
buildings above you. When you do see those pockets, maybe now with the
this has Sasha called it a Geiger counter, you can see a little bit
better and yeah, sure enough, I mean there's been some terrain changes probably,
but maybe you're noticing a little bit more of a divot in the ground,
like was there an impact here long time ago or a nearby impact.
And now that you've noticed that a little bit, you can kind of put
two and two together and when you see that pocket coming up on the map
and go, okay, we need to go kind of cut through these old
buildings. But you're able to visually see a little bit easier now where those
pockets are. And after not that long, maybe five or ten minutes of
walking through this old one city, you come across a building that is more
intact than most, a building that has well, it's got letters on it.
You can read them, and it looks like you might be in the
right spot. I believe the name of it was uh let him you remember
if you can Salas Salas solettally that sounds like it is. Let's is this
the right place? Seletly it is, although it doesn't appear that I got
the name wrong. I see, I see yes, Seattle City Light.
Uh huh. Some of the letters were missing, so I had to guess.
What do you guess? Though? It's lots of funny. H Sasha
is just very funny. Okay, So what did you find? The right
place? Uh? This is The letters are missing, but this is the
Celetiato City Lights. Apparently you can make it out of there. Bok the
letters, the letters that are still intact say ciletti les. Okay, well,
this is our destination, let's go. Okay. The doors, which
once were glass have long since shattered. All the windows are broken. Inward.
As you step into the foyer, it's a barren looks like it's been
torn apart, maybe looted a long time ago by whoever Sasha was talking about,
or old ones, but it's practically an empty building. The snow has
flowed mostly into this main floor, stares off on the side that go up
to it. Looks like nothing of the roof of the building, however tall
it used to be, is no longer there. Just bits and pieces of
trouble seem to stand up almost on their own. Sasha, what exactly we're
looking for? Well, this would have been a power station. It would
have provided the entire community, the entire city on a grid. So we
should be able to find that main room and we can reroot the power from
here. To me, there should be a small sub building with some experimental
power. That's what we're trying to access. So the word you'd be looking
for is experimental. Yeah, it would be. Oh do you know how
to read the language the same as as on the banners. Yes, yes,
wonderful. I'll upload what the symbols should look like to your device and
you should be able to view it, all right, and you'll be looking
for that send it to his as well. Of course, Well where do
we go? She's sending me some thing for a moment, you get a
little ping m and there is Unfortunately, it's just like all the old ones
seem to do, a building underneath all of this underground. Ah, I'm
just going to go through those main doors and then there's an elevator I believe,
but probably best not to take that. But there should be a stairwell
just on the other side of these main doors here, all right, You
already. We have to go down, way down. Where are we going
to find this power grid thing? It's underground? He gets as already,
just gets on. He's just used to this by now. You see the
main doors near the elevator that Sassa mentioned. Mhm, all right, lead
away, Alkali right, The normal door sigil is indeed on this door,
though it flickers a bit. This is fun. I've never been outside before.
Is she telling you jokes or something? You keep laughing? I'm sorry,
she's just very excited. I'm almost charming. Right. I would go
ahead and put my hand up to the door and twist okay, and it
opens, though you see it kind of struggle and strain for a second as
the flickering continues, and then the doors slide open. She know they used
to have people that would sit here throughout the day and watch this grid.
Hmm. Really, yes, I find it quite fascinating. It was that
important? Huh, yes, what was important? It feels strange that you
are having conversations without us. No, sorry, could not? Could she
not alto like, She's not like, I don't know, she said,
interface interface, Yes, interface with one of those things that Nevin is interfaced
with we would have had to do that way back there though the facility.
I want to hear the jokes too, though, well, we don't want
to do that, and then we take hour. Don't want to object anyone
else to hear any yes loud noises Sash. She mentioned that people used to
want m hmmm, that's all. The door stands open of you. I'd
go forward and make sure my focus is on scanning around to see if I
notice anything out of the normal. H you see the stairwell ahead of you
going down? There's no stairs up in this case. That's it. That
should be the stairwell. This is it? Mm hmm. Let's go down
then or up? Which way is it? There is all up? Only
down? Wait? JN down the way? Was that? Sasha? Wa?
Something's interfeering? Hi, Sasha, are you okay? And the doors
shut behind? What's happening? Does she do that? Mmhm yeah yeah,
I'm not on their defenses? Nevin, yes, Nevin, oh no,
be careful, everyone spread out carefully, Diary, keep an eye on the
upstairs, Hi, Alkali, keep an eye on the downstairs. Yes,
I'm sorry. He takes his bow out and he just kind of points it
in the direction while looking. You stand all on the stair well empty.
There are no stairs up, only down, and the doors shut behind you.
Anything, no movement has yet, nothing down in here either. I'm
gonna enable dangerous sense just to make sure you know, yep, and that's
you have to stay in the same place for five minutes. No dangerous sense
is just initiative role reduced. Oh oh yeah, yeah, just in case.
Yeah, you don't have to stand role initiative. I could do stand
watch at the moment since I'm looking, since he asked me to, So
yeah, stand watch enable it as of now. Okay, all right,
that is just for this area and you basically are waiting there for five minutes
to look around. Alkali Feyuka. Did the spirits tell you anything? There's
something making it so that we can't talk to either Sasha or Nevin. Your
focus can you see anything? Your focus isn't working? You feel empty and
cut off? Is yours working? Oddly? Quietka? Is yours working?
It's gone very quiet? Isn't it fun? Now? We don't have eyes
or eares well, we have our own eyes and ears, agreed, And
that's what we're going to have to rely on. We need to make this
quick in and out. Everyone, Stay here? What do you mean stay
here? I'm going to look downstairs alone. Yes, bekay, let me
go with you. No, stay here. I'm going to position myself to
walk downstairs. Okay, and then I look. I look at Alkali and
I say keep an eye out. Okay, I'm counting on you. Just
just make sure you make us own so we know if you need us.
Okay, please, I'll whistle. Okay. I'm going to stealthily make my
way down the stairs. Okay, but give me a difficulty six stealth check
speed. If you don't have stealth as a skill. Oh, I forgot
that. I'm in stealth, by the way. Okay, go ahead and
make the same check for yourself. Now it says you're trained in procession in
stealth because of anxiety, I'm going to yeah, I want to position myself
in the shadow or some sort. Sure, what is this going to roll?
As? Uh? Speed? You can? Yeah, if you have
speed. But since it's difficulty six, if you don't have a speed skill,
you can knock it down to difficulty five, just to mimic that.
Since you're trained as you do that, oh okay, and cancel that with
the nex p all right, so still a failure, but no GM intrusion.
Okay, okay, you didn't put any effort, and then failure for
you as well. You're near the crowd, so that could be why you're
staying up there with them. But Nikel, you are creeping down the stairs
and you go down maybe four to five flights of stairs, step down to
look down this hallway, and as you step down, you get the splash
of water maybe a few inches and you hear the echo of water. Go
down the hallway? What are you doing to kel? I'm looking around kind
of seriously. Yeah, the hallway itself has a lot of piping going all
the way down it. And you see light kind of shining at the end
of this hallway. Do I notice any cameras or anything strange in the hallway?
Go ahead and give me a perception check. It's caulty five rolled it,
Okay, it'll happen. What happened, It's like, no, you
know how to roll. It's just trying to figure out that intrusion right now.
Yeah, you already denied it and it doesn't know what you do.
I will try again. Yeah, go ahead and try again. I'll take
the first one that whatever pushes through, and if not, we can pop
up to the top group. Nat, I'm allowed to do that. Yeah,
I did it a second time. It's not coming to okay. You
might want to refresh roll twenty while we pop to the other group up top.
You all would easily hear, even though you are five flights up.
You would hear just a small echoing of water, a small splash down below.
Did you hear that? Yeah? I did? I hear splashing?
Is that? Nachel? Umm that? I do not know? Why did
he go alone? Just going down? Calm down? Maybe this is what
he's for? What heroics? No? Going ahead nice and quietly. It
doesn't seem to be a thing that all of us are very good at.
Some tasks requires sneaky sneaky, and some of them require hitty hitty and different
tools for different jobs. All of you will wait up there patiently? Or
no? Should we should? We at least make our way down a little
bit, like, what is this making me uncomfortable? Just waiting here?
Truss him? It's you understand. We have to trust him. He said
he'd whistle if you needed us. You're right, Let's trust him. Fuck
back with nikekel. There are no cameras, nothing odd, just the allway,
dimly lit with the light at the end of it, maybe forty fifty
foot all way again, piping in tubes seem to wrap around and in it.
Not like a cauldrony, more like an old one. They're a bit
rusted, you don't. You don't see anything out of the ordinary. Those
of you above here a whistle echoing up. Did you hear that? I
was that camp? Yeah? That was Nicole. Let's make our way down
quietly. Definitely a whistle. Okay, I'll be behind you. Okay,
I'm waiting till I start to see them coming down the stairs. You might
even hear them before you see them, as there are a couple of flights
up. Then they slowly make their way into your vision. As soon as
I can start to see them, I wave and I pull a finger up
to my lips. Once they start to get closer, I'm gonna make my
way over to the hallway where the light was. Okay, And once you
all come down here, I just say I didn't see any thing in the
hall here. I'm going to have a look down the hall before you go.
Was that use splashing I heard, Yes, I didn't see the puddle.
Okay, Okay, as you look down, you'd see about three inches
of water on the ground going down the hallway and everything. Stay here,
I'm going to look down there. Go ahead and make me another stealth check
nikkel. Same difficulty as before. Six As you attempt to muffle the sound
of the water splashing, and you do it this time, maybe you kind
of drag your feet a little bit more so you're not stepping in water as
you sneak through the hallway to the end where you see the light coming through
and it's large. Were you asking? I was gonna say, what does
it look like there at the end of the hallway. Yeah, so the
hallway itself is still all the tubing and piping moving through. Maybe as you
kind of get maybe if you get close to one, you can hear what
sounds like something maybe liquid flowing through some of them. But if you look
through the door or the opening. Okay, go ahead and give me a
perception that one's difficulty freehof and cancel that. Well, the curse has passed
on. It's canceled. Yeah, you changed it up. No, I
can't cancel that one. You don't have XP, all right, fair enough,
take your XP and give it to someone else. Bequel, Yeah,
I guess we'll give it to Alkali. Thank you. That's a level up.
Okay. If you look into this room, there's there's that standing water
three inches. It's a pretty big chamber, big ish maybe you know,
fifty feet in diameter. It's rounded as well. You hear a hum of
electricity. You don't that might be a power source in quotes. It's hard
to tell with your your knowledge as a Nora, but you don't see any
danger in here at all. It looks as though it might be empty.
This might be where you need to be. I look back down the hall
and I just wave them on, Oh, come on the away. I
will take up the rear. I'll let everybody pass, and I just take
up the rear and just fully alert and nanger sense sloshing of water as you're
walking through echoes a bit through the hallway, beating up to Nikkeel and you
make you get your way to him. And you're all in the hallway now
looking into this room. Is it darking here, by the way, because
I don't know it's well lit. Actually into the room itself, the hallway
was dim, but that was just from the light here. Okay, what
did you find? I don't know what this is? And you do?
You know what this is? Then if I if I take a look inside
and see just peeking out, can I tell what that is? Kind of
resembles a fuel cell? Just giant? So does it look similar to the
ones in the facility that Areas was in? Similar data similar the bigger,
much bigger, more standalone? And is there anything else in that room or
like any parts to that machine where it looks like maybe maybe that lost power
and it could be powered up or anything like that. It's already on.
Oh, it's on. That's the humming you've been kind of hearing a bit.
There are pipes. Some of the pipes from that hallway look like they
go up to the ceiling and then attach into the top. Some of them
are dripping a bit, which is probably explaining the water that's in here.
Oh, it's not a ton of water. Okay, that's that's similar to
one of the power cells in in in the site with Areas. This one's
on already though, And he told us if we to close ones out it
would cause radiation damage. Yes, So Logically speaking, we're looking for ones
that are not currently functional because Sasha needs more power in What other areas were
there from where we are? Like? It was it like a T junction?
What did? What did it? There was no tea, It was
just it opened up into this main chamber. And with your failed perception check,
you didn't see any other egresses whatsoever? There isn't anywhere else though?
Are you sure to see anything on the way down? Uh? I don't,
I don't. I don't think so. And are there chords attached to
this? It looks like they're all on, like the ceiling area moving into
this power. Uh, whatever it is, maybe we should look more to
up than down, if you know what I mean? Outside you see those
what do they lead? It has to have something feeding power in? Maybe
that's what they store extras? Right? Are you sure there's nowhere else?
This is all that I saw? Did you see anything else when you came
here? Dan? If I I give a quick look around to see if
there are any other like entrances or exits. Do I find anything? Go
ahead and give me a perception check, also a difficulty three. I have
expert yep. Uh so it looks like there might be platforms higher up there
may have there may be a way to get up to access some of those.
But you do see there's a console just like the rest of the place
is at the base of this power station or whatever it is. Okay,
so platforms up there, we might be able to make something work with those.
But let me let me try this console first and see if there's any
power. Okay, I would go up to it and see if it's still
functional. Anyone following you all, are you all in this room or did
you stay in the hallway letting her go ahead, I would Alkali, Yeah,
that was the last one to come in because this it. But I'm
at the doorway. I'm probably at the back there with Zary okay, of
the hallway kind of opening, whereas the rest of you walk inside the room,
but not you know, close to Alkali like closer, disagree, I'm
in the back. I was in the back in the doorway and keeping watch
and to clarify, like I would be being careful and trying not to make
sound with the water. Go ahead and give me a stealth check. Those
of you who are trying specifically not to make sound, you're not so Yeah,
you're not being difficulty either. Difficulty six still speed check if you don't
have the stealth skill, Minasha, Manassa and Alkali make a good amount of
noise. Nikel, you've adjusted to this. Now, I'll actually refund you.
Well it's only one point of cost, but I'll refund you that because
you had already been stealthy so and you succeeded this last one, so you
can have that point back. Okay, thank you, so, Nikel.
Being quiet the rest of you not so unless you're not moving like anxiety.
The splashing kind of echoes and goes about this entire chamber, almost like the
dripping kind of you know that sound that water makes that is almost musical in
like a dripping noise. That's more or less what you're doing here. You
walk up to the console, Alkali. If I touch it, does anything?
Turn on it? Does? You touch it? And you get experimental
power system active, optimal levels, optimal levels? If this is If this
is optimal, then why is why is this a problem for Sasha? Maybe
she can't reach it. Maybe I wish we could ask her. If I
interact with it a little bit more, can I see if there's anything else,
like any other menu functionalities or anything. Yeah, go ahead and give
me intelligence check. That'd be difficulty five for you. Would my artifact knowledge
be applicable here or no? Yeah, I could be applicable here. Okay,
I'll apply one effort as well. Okay, success. You do,
indeed see a couple of sex as you like, maybe fishing through the menus
trying to look and see if there's anything that could be relevant. You do
see power diversion as an option, and that rings a bell for what Sasha
was talking to you about. Sasha said she wanted the power diverted to her.
Okay, let me see if this from where I think from here,
do you know what this is actually powering? She said something about residential areas
inside the facility or outside inside the facility. She mentioned there was the residential
area. Said is this powering now? She said that there was power to
the residential areas of the city. Oh, but that she had to divert
power from it. Yes, well, if they do it, I don't
see anything wrong with it. Are there? This is the real questions.
Yes, that may be affecting, and that's why they are upset. What
that would make sense because they currently have power here. We don't know what
else we are affecting outside there said she only detected like six people, like
six things creatures. What's that Yoka? Currently those pockets of radiation outside.
Something doesn't feel right something the area said about the damage from the Maybe we're
not the first people to try this, are you in? What are you
insinuating that Sasha has had more than just us try to do this for her.
I'm not insinuating anything. I'm trying to draw a conclusion to stop us.
Ally, No, it makes sense. It also makes sense why the
whatever organics out there human like best like or upset? Why because we're probably
or that the version of power may take away from them. That doesn't make
sense as to why though, that they come and raid and take from wouldn't
you around Sasha has taken yet? Yes, exactly, nothing has been taken.
They are intelligent. Maybe they heard the same signal we don't know.
That's the thing. Sasha said that they weren't friendly and that she wouldn't let
them in, But they could have gotten the same signal we have gotten.
But she wouldn't let them in, so they wouldn't know that she's running law
on power. We trust each other. Maybe they were trying to divert the
power somewhere else other than that, other than Sasha. We should trust her.
Wait a minute, I agree, we can divert how to Sasha?
Can they divert all of it away from her from here? No? They
would. I would imagine they'd have to have something similar to what Alkali has
or No, going to need everyone to give me a speed defense role except
anxiety. What difficulty? Eight? Oh? Should be fine? I rolled
not being nice to you today, and yes, that is a failure with
a nineteen. So it's just a regular speed test. I put two points
of efforts speed defense. But yes, oh I did mechanical creature. I'm
sorry, the mechanical creature won't work there. That would take away one point.
I'm trained in speed defense, so it would be step. Yeah,
yep, so you need a fifteen? Ye roll to fourteen. Okay,
the roles were trickling in, but I guess mine didn't count. Yeah,
yours didn't. I'll try again. I won't hit the buttons as fast.
If it doesn't go, you might have to refresh again. Last time that
one day? All right? Oh, that was a self check. Oh
no, it's the same thing though you're train. Yeah, okay, then
that's the same role. Yep, okay, all right. You all feel
a rumble and those that failed aren't quick enough to act, though the rest
of you are able to run back. As you feel your entire foundation collapse
and go away, the whole floor drops. Those of you who were able
to react run back and or jump to anxiety and cling to the ground as
best you can as you hear flush. Those of you that failed are now
free falling in the air and land a splash in water deeper than you can
see. Where would I be if I passed that speeding past your back at
xiety? You may basically kind of turned and jumped as you felt the ground
comes. I'm gonna catch Alcali? Is that okay? Are they? Are
they? Alkali and Manassa? I caught both of them. A lot of
comes over. Buka and m k are down. You can see them though
the light is dim. Buca, yes, are you all right? No,
we're far too low down. I would I would take Hope out of
my pack and start trying to unravel it to see if I can lower it
fast down to them. Are need? So we're in we're in deep water.
Right, You're in deep water. There is a platform underneath that you
can crawl up onto that you see a circular plaform in the center underneath everyone
else near you. I'm so confused visually if I was coming up'll say,
you're in You're in water, and there's a circular platform in the center.
Right, Okay, water is deeper than climate. Yeah, it's it's maybe
like but that much off the ground or up off the water, so you
could reach up and pull yourself up. Okay, I'm just I'm seeing this
platform too, right, It's not it's okay, dimly lit, but you
see it. I am immediately going to start swimming towards it and try and
climb it. Okay, as soon as you give me a swim check of
three, that would be today difficulty free mhmm at twenty. But youka,
you pull yourself up with ease, you'll gain two speed points from kind of
a shock of cold water to your system. Danny, you said it was
dimly lit for them. I do have eyes adjusted, so would I be
able to from where I'm seeing see them at least slightly because you're not in
total darkness or dimly lit right light right now. Your eyes adjust quickly and
well, but seeing into darkness is a different thing. Okay, you hear
them. It doesn't sound like they're terribly far below you, maybe another fifty
to seventy feet. Ooh, so have you lowered rope down? I did,
Yeah, and it's reached us. It's definitely not reached you. I
can't. The reason is they're on the edge of this room. You're in
the center. There may be twenty or thirty feet away from you, right
I can rope is hanging out over water. You may or may not be
able to see it. Those of you down below, can I use my
rope caster to fire to kind of intercept it so we could shimmy along that
rope and then get onto the other rope. That's going to be a I'm
going to be a difficult check, but you can attempt it. So let
me try for sure. Those of you up bus is trying to lower rope
down? Can you see it? Can you see it? It's just not
long enough and the wrong place. I've got mine as well. I'll try
and lower it down. Wait, Dan, Dan, can I ask something
before? Sorry? How far is the rope like? The edge of the
where we are at from the platform. Oh, I'll be lost at huh
oh lost a cat? Oops? Okay if you want what Okay, he's
lost the cat. Lost the cat? A cat? Right? Oh no,
oh no, oh no, dammy snow zooms. Not even in a
snow place. You know she's not she's in California? Is she not in
California? Is she? She's a calling? Right? This is Cat's way
of stopping the show from ending in Now, TB can do that if you
unless you have one, I can do it too. Okay, he's got
it. Okay, fax got it. So of course he's got it.
Give us a moment. She'll be back eventually, probably so Dan, I
mean, while we're sitting here waiting, So what is that? This is
again like the platform, I think maybe fifteen twenty feet wide. The rope
itself is probably about twenty feet away? Would you okay? So I'm gonna
ask you, since you are the you know the m what do you say
that with my skill, my trained skill jumping, I would able to jump
like would it be possible for me? Or now? You can definitely try
to jump twenty feet out horizontally for sure, okay, okay, long off
world record? Hey yeah, yeah for Olympian Yeah, I mean yeah me
you know, I mean the world record for a woman's long jump is twenty
four feet eight inches, so the world record the literal Olympian. Excuse me,
I am a Greek. Okay mk mk, it's Greek. Okay,
she has Olympia blood in her son. Sup. You can give me a
difficulty nine jump. Check. Oh up, it's an Olympian jump, right
because you can attempt it if you'd like. It's difficulty nine. This is
gonna hurt like a month. You know what, Maybe I should whack just
throw his rope first and then see what I'm gonna do with it. You
know, I'm gonna throw a duster as well. Okay, So your rope
caster you shoot like you you basically shoot into something and then plant it near
you. So you're having You're aiming your rope caster at a rope. I'm
aiming it to like the wool up and behind it. So if you notice
the range of your rope caster is short, yeah, so in theory you
can do that, though it's going to be difficult, not impossible, but
difficult. So go ahead and give me a difficulty seven, attack roll with
your ropecaster attack roll no. Now realize without any effort or training, that
is going to be impeding to roll at twenty one on a difficulty correct.
So if you don't do any effort, or if you if you don't have
any training, it is literally impossible. Okay, how do I put effort
in for it? Just as you're going through the role. If you want
to put effort, yeah, do up to three. Remember if that doesn't
come out, if it's speed, the rope casteratically says that yep, okay
too. Still oh my, no, okay, so it still costs to
six even with the failure the rope caster. You all hear it kind of
swang and pit near you all, and then maybe you jammed the rope caster
on your end down to the ground and it just pulls it right out of
the wall up above them and splashes into the water. And Cat's almost back
by the way. So I think what we should do really quickly because we're
gonna go a little over time. Let's take just a one minute break,
just give Cat the time to pop back in it. No no break,
Black says, We're good. Hell yeah, okay, I just try to
make it easy for production. All right, Okay, it's fangs and then
it splashes into the water. What are the rest of you doing? We
would have heard their voices and I would have been able to probably deduce that,
like this rope is probably too far from them. Is there is there
a way to get closer to them? Or is it is the whole room
collapse to a point where we can't cross over towards that. I'm getting out
in my rope. I'm getting ready to just add it to tears. Sure,
Uh, there's cat mutually back out cam. No. I think,
what do we want to do? Do we want to go down? Because
I was just looking at Manassa and Alkali and Nikael while he's doing his rope?
Are you going down? Or wait? Wait? What are we doing?
Can we can? We? Can we get over closer to them?
You have to drop and swim more than likely here here add my rope?
Okay are you cut? Yes? Yes? Anything else down there? Well,
we're in a glass, have water a lot of it. Go ahead
and give me a perception check both of you as you're looking around down there.
Difficulty intellect right correct if you're looking listening difficulty what sorry culty for all
right, natty nat oh see you both as you maybe stop and listen.
Do you hear water sloshing a bit? Do you hear that? What do
I hear water? Of course I hear We're not alone the yuka you clearly
see in one of those little egresses in the wall. There are some down
here too, but you see maybe a human crouched looking out at you.
Hello, sacrifice speaks? What did he say? Says? The sacrifice speaks
the sacri the fucking what sacrifice? To who? Champ shack? So you
begin to hear more voices echoing. You begin to hear it echoing up.
What's going on down there? Is it saying? Tons? Okay for you
car are you guys? Okay? We are not alone here? We found
some friends apparently where a sacrifice? Alkali, give me the rope, okay,
okay, I'm going to look for some I'm going to look for someplace
to tie it. Okay. Uh, you could probably tie it to the
ropes and that or the pipes in that hallway, the thick metal pipes.
I'm going to test and feel like if they're really strong enough to hold our
weight. Difficulty too, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
they'll definitely hold your right. I'm going to tie them off best I can.
Okay, I'm tying my rope to Alkali's rope. Yeah yeah, and
uh, I think what I'm going to do is I'm going to Yeah,
I look at Alkali and Zaire and Manassa, and I say they're in danger.
We need to help them. M hmm. We gotta go down there.
I'm going to rip off a piece of my cloak and uh wrap it
around my hands. Okay, and then I'm gonna say do the same fine,
and uh, I'm gonna say the rope is tied off. We need
to make our way down okay. Okay, and Fiuka, I'm going to
need a speed defense roll from you. Oh no, that speed defense roll
is going to be eight mm hm. Would you like to accept it or
just fail and spend an XP. If you gain an XP and can give
one if you succeed, or if you accept it, I will spend the
XP and fail it. Okay, do both fail? Though you do not
get a GM intrusion from that. You hear the water slashing, You hear
the chanting begin to rise as you look around. Fayuka from before you see
six human looking creatures in different egresses surrounding you, chanting what sounds like chomped
shock, and a large very familiar to the rest of you minus Fayuka fish
like machine leaps out of the water and slams you both into the water.
You're going to take eight points of damage. That goes to mite first,
dude in the desert. It is probably about thirty feet long. The rest
of you at the top, fashioning grips, hear the jump, the thud,
and the splash. You two were back in the water, not on
the platform anymore. We need to go now, Yeah, sure, go
go. I'm going to sort of grab the rope with my hands that are
kind of bandaged up, and I'm gonna sort of look down and start to
slide down the rope. While waiting for him to go down, I'm gonna
pull the cork out on my vial and pop the speed burst. Okay,
okay, do the next hour you have a speed edge increased of one.
I mean just to note that under your character sheet to make it easier for
Pearls. Okay, all right, those of you climbing down the rope are
going to need to give me a difficulty one climb check that would be speed
or might depending on how you're climbing. You can choose the two of you
in the water if you want to get back onto the platform. Are going
to give me another swim check difficulty free, which is based on speed.
Okay, So all of you slide down the rope with no problems whatsoever,
and I we're all able to hold it like on before dropping into the water
unless you wish to do so. Yeah, as as I'm getting close to
the end, I'm going to try and swing to the wall to plant my
feet behind me against the wall and push off and try to jump onto the
platform. Okay, we're all of you waiting one by one to go down
the rope, or you just joining immediately after he started sliding down. I
waited, I would have been following closely. What I wanted to do was
hold the rope for everyone until they all got down, just to give extra
brace. Okay, So in case some mody wanted to swing but I didn't
get this, go ahead and give me a mite check of one. You
don't need very much. It's already been tied to something very secure kah sixteen
Okay, and those in the water again, if you're trying to get out
of the water back onto the platform, difficulty free, speed check or swim,
whichever one you have, all right, And as they're doing that,
it was Nikkel and Alkali who went down first. Nick Kel starts to swing
the rope. I get ready to jump, all right, and yeah,
I'm going to do I'm going to swing back to try and push off the
wall and jump. Go ahead, I got you. Give me a jump
check both of you. Difficulty free, that would be speed go on.
I'm trained in it, so okay, you would succeed. Uh yeah,
I'm gonna swim XP to cancel. Okay, you cancel that out. But
you fail. Alkali maybe jumps just after your failure. You splashed directly into
the water short of the platform, near where mk is struggling to swim.
You see if you can pull herself out of the water with Alkali landing on
the platform. Michael Manassa, you went down next, yep, and you
got your client check. You were successful. You're hanging up over them,
Sarary, are you waiting or are you going down? While Manasa's on that,
I'm going to scream, Manasa, are you going to jump too.
I haven't really thought that far. I'll do something I have you, but
I need to get down there. Well, then come on down here,
all right? So he drops a rope and uh, just looking over the
ledge. I'm in the water right correct, You and m K are in
the water right now? Yeah? Is she close to me? Yeah?
Very close? Okay, yeah, yeah, get back to the platform.
I'm try it. Those of you in the water are gonna need to give
me a speed. Defensive eight goes on the platform. Definitely here the sloshing
and splashing of this large machine. Okay, that's a nap twenty on the
speed. You both succeeded MK, just barely. You did not need to
do that because you had pulled yourself onto the platform. Oh yeah, you
also have megaphone on. May not be intended, she did. I know
what's happening with this machine? I give up. That's all right, Uh
manassa. You would see this as Desirety begins to slide down the rope towards
you, m K begin to swim toward the platform. NIKEL reached there before
her and just grab her by the scruff of her coat and throw her up
on ther platform and pull yourself up as well, Nikel, I would help
whoever's going over as well. Come on, come on, Nasa, are
you going to yeah? Com are you going in the water? Are you
going to at a potform? Where they were where YouTube just were. So
it snaps at us, It snapped at where Ink Nikel were. All right,
I'm gonna look up at Isaier or at y Diary nice and I'm going
to take out of my back pocket an old one explosive in my hand,
and I'm gonna look at him and I'm gonna go we need to feed it.
H Okay, I have you good sosirety slides down, uh and he
t he wraps his arm around manassa for brace and wraps his arm around the
rope. Okay, okay, you can get an asset for this, manassa.
What are you trying to do? So I'm going to take one of
I'm gonna so I have one of the explosives in one of my hands,
and since he's holding me, I'm going to take my PDA out and I'm
going to turn it on so it makes a light. Okay, I'm going
to try and get its attention to see if it can start seeing that I'm
flashing this light and I'm hanging from I'm hanging from this rope, so I'm
essentially a worm on a hook. Okay, all right, so you're doing
that dangling. Okay, I'm gonna need let's see. I think that's more
or less a deception check. So in this case, that would be intellect
for sure. Intellect Okay, that's going to be difficulty five for you.
Yeah, so that's what you're doing right now. Yeah, I was just
giving a chat. So I have a question. So I am this is
a this is a very big reach. So I am trained in social interactions,
which is intellect. So I'm trained in persuasion, intimidation, lying,
and bribing. Would the deception in this case? Yeah, okay, yep,
you are manipulating a situation here, Okay, and then I so and
I get an asset you said an asset from sorry, correct? Okay?
And what difficulty five? Okay, I'm gonna put okay, okay, Kasha
four. But that is a success on your quote social interactions, as you
are essentially making yourself fish bait. So you've got the grenade, You've got
the PDA kind of hanging more or less in one hand. Is that the
idea s holding out an arm? Mm hmm. I have the DA in
one and I have the grenade sticking out like and I'm leaning down below as
he's like holding me. Okay, did you pulled the pin? No?
I'm wait, okay, thank god, I'm waiting eplop all right, monostly,
I'm going to need to give you as have you give me a speed
defense of eight? Does she get an asset from me? From hold on?
That's a physical tab, not a defense, just a difficulty. You
did try difficulty eight the slashing as you are all on the platform, would
notice this large fish with its fin sticking out of water so close? You
can spend x beater reroll as known. You don't have to No, I
can't. Okay, all right, manassa, you're hanging your arm out with
the grenade and a PDA. I have a question. Yes, and this
is a try and you have to approve it or not correct. Can I
do a player explore a player intrusion? Since I am technically one with her
so to speak, will my exploring trusion apply to whatever happens? This is
a four C because I don't want to call it while you're giving it.
Which one are you trying to do? You know, I have to be
a fortuitous malfunction. Oh wait, yeah, it would have to be that
one after a dangerous device malfunctions before it can affect you. Gotcha. Uh.
In this case, there is nothing being used against you as a device,
all right, So don't worry about spending your XP. This is more
of a creature than than a device directly, and she is the device.
So I guess, I guess you could say if her device doesn't work,
if you would like. And I just realized I have no experience. I'm
sorry, no experience. You couldn't do that, that's all right, Yeah,
I was sorry, I thought, I okay, that's okay. All
right. The fish leaps out of the water and breaches directly at you,
and USA, I'm giving you a choice here, because it is biting at
your arm. It will bite your arm. Do you hold on or let
go? Or do I throw her? We'll just say that that would be
I voice. Wait, so I get to choose if I hold onto the
grenade and no, you hold on to anxiety or like oh sirey, I
mean he said, he wanted to get down there? What second? Give
me answer? It is now latched onto your arm, this thirty fish.
I'm gonna let it bite my arm as long as I can, but I
want to make sure that I pick the pin up like I take the pin
out. Okay, you already prepared, Go ahead and give me an attack
roll with that grenade. Difficult. I'm still holding you. So are you
gonna punch me in the face or something? Or kick away from me?
Like? What are you doing? She's holding on to you. Slash the
rope and her arm is now in a fish that is swinging a bit.
It is huge and it's you definitely feel the rope tightened for a second.
But difficulty for attack roll with the grenade? Please and thank you? Okay,
how do I do the attack roll with said grenade? Would I just
ah, guess, hold on? You can? You could make a I'd
say in this case, it would be a might check difficulty for uh and
it'd be rained. There you go, old one graade. Thank you.
I think I just saw do that. You can roll that? Difficult?
Poor success? So does she lose her arm or something? Like? I'm
trying to figure out what's going on? She absolutely does, but not before
she pulls the pin. Your arm snaps anxiety immediately, hanging like still holding
on your arm is not really there anymore, just above the elbow. At
this point, I have no idea what to do. In his head,
he's thinking drop because she's just sitting here, danglum with blood coming all out
major Arteri's maybe something. So what he's gonna do is gonna turn her around,
facing her. He's gonna pull her arm in and hug her tight and
drop into the Okay, need to hit the water with a splash. And
after a few moments the fish circles around and you hear a muffled all right,
at this one, I'm gonna try to swim for the platform. Okay,
go ahead and give me a swim check difficulty for speed, no assets.
As you are, you are dragging manassa. Just to clarify the chambers
of the cylinder, Yes, and there's alcoves with people inside. Correct up
above a bit. How close the change edge to the edge of your platform.
At the edge of the cylinder cool probably about twenty feet away from you
on all sides. There are six of them. Are they leaning out over
the air they are now leaning out. They are absolutely they look shocked.
They have stopped chanting. These vaguely human looking The more you look at them,
the more like grotesque they seems. All right, you pull yourself up
onto the platform with manassa. I take aim with my sharp shot bow,
and any of them that are looking out over the platform, the one that's
closest like above this machine, I'm gonna fire my sharp shot bow, go
for it. It'fficult a free. I'm trying to rip everything, like rip
something off of me her and wrapping her arm as quickly as I can to
tie off the blood. Yeah. I would have dropped down and helped immediately
me. Okay, just let's taken this here. Help me. Have you
heard that one of them yell out the chomped shock an arrow immediately go right
into its throat and it collapses and falls into the water. You hear screams,
right, and they begin to run and flee into the alcoves. Did
it work? What are you doing? Did it work? We would be
tightening them like say, making a makeshift. Toernique Alkali, you can give
me a medicine check. Who's helping? Are they in the center of the
platform still. Yeah, they've plopped themselves onto the plow. Yeah. Absolutely,
I'm just looking like looking for anything else that might attack us and trying
to keep an eye on the on the machine. Okay, right, Alkali,
are you trying to medicine? Yes? Okay, okay, you can
gain uh two assets Alkali from both anxiety and at yuka. But because he's
trained anxiety, because he's got the physical uh task also difficulty six medicine check
Dan, how beaten up am I at this point? Oh? Pretty badly
beaten up. You're not impaired yet, but you're you're definitely winded. Yeah,
I'm gonnapply effort as well. And you said two assets, right,
two assets nineteen? Okay? Can you get a minor effect with that e
turniquet? The stump that is? Which arm was that that you were hanging
down? Is your left arm? Okay, so it's probably like about here
tourniquet up here. The bleeding seems to mostly stop. Oh right, hold
hold on there so I can wrap this. Okay, didn't work? Did
it work? Yes? Yes, okay, you are crazy risk and you
do it right now. Anxiety just hugs her tightly and it looks up at
nick Kel and says, I am going to take out every last one of
them. First, we need to take this thing out. What do you
have? Give me details? I said, I just knocked one of them
into the water. It might go after that thing. Go ahead, and
I'm going to sort of scour the water while this happens. Okay, MK,
come here, yes, and you hold her? Can you hold her?
Yes? Me get her bearings anxiety laser in MK's lap and stands up
and takes out of his sword. Is a death bringer sword. Okay,
you see, Nikkel, This chomped shock as they called it, swimming,
though more erratically than before, goes to eat the one you dropped in the
water. These creatures, these past people, and as it opens its mouth
and swallows it, it slams directly into the wall and doesn't seem to move.
Dan. Would I be able to use a player intrusion? My idea
for this is since this makes an inactive, ruined or presumably destroyed device temporarily
activate, would I be able to temporarily try to activate my focus in order
to see if I can get any signal of, like, any weaknesses on
this chompshock thing. You absolutely can do that. I'm spending the XP.
It's a temporarily activating a device that isn't working. Yeah, absolutely, that
does that. Your focus turns on. You scan round you, you scan
the chomped shock. It's no longer active. It's not moving, it's not
active. It's not active the stupid fucking thing. So are they controlling it
or is it? Is it? I don't know they have to be.
Who cares. Let's get out of here. Uh, anxiety is going to
run and jump in the water and swim towards the rope for in the water,
right because I ti we have two ropes that were I wanted to go
on in the little coves the area that they were. Yeah, going up
to the is the rope to climb into one of those. Okay, all
right, I'll go get the rope and hold it, secure it when asked
to come on, come on, Oh, I got you. I'm trying.
I'm gonna kilp to you. It's okay. I'm like, multi of
you're gonna kill those fuckers? You can. We need to get the power,
We need to get you safe. Yes, all right? Can I
love that one? That a hell of a trait. I'm gonna go up
first. Okay, do you go up first? Uh, you've already rolled
for the climbing, so those of you succeeded, you're able to do so.
Unless you're carrying Manasa that's going to actually take a mite check. I
am not, but I am going to get to that rope to a position
where I can hold my arm out to brace her up when somebody picks her
up. Maybe Nichal can pick her up and put her on his shoulders and
I'll grab her from there. Yeah, if everyone's kind of trying to just
get Manasa up the rope or something, all cut off. I don't know
how much rope is left, but i'll cut off if there's enough, I'll
try and cut off some of the rope to tie Manasa to my back.
Okay, yeah, you pull out your knife and do so. Just give
me a speed of one just for using the rope and securing it. Yeah,
you're able to lash her to your back, essentially the help of others
maybe pulling her up as you're treading water. All right, Manasa, you
should be good and tight. I'll get you out of here. I'm going
to reach with my when hand and I'm going to try and struggle and pull
out my tear blaster and I'm going to pull it out and I'm going to
like lean forward on Nikkel and I'm going to hand it to them and I'm
going to go. I know you don't use these, but gets loaded and
it's not going to do me any more, use to anymore. I need
to get you out of here first. Let's not give up yet. Come
on, come on, I'm gonna try to hoist her up with Nikel.
Yeah, I'm I'm trying to climb the rope. Okay, give me my
check of two Nikel. I have climbing you do? You're You're climbing isn't
the issue here. You don't need to make that role. This is just
so that you can kind of keep yourself secure. You're climbing, no problem,
Yeah, yeah, climbing wise, no issue. You're not used to
the extra weight on your back, but you're able to make it no problem
to the top. All right, Manassa, Let's see if we can get
you safe. And I'm just gonna try and swing myself around to put her
down kind of gently. I got it, I got it, I got
it. The rest of you were able to climb up without issue if you're
not very Manassa, she's already the what were those things? Are those what
Sasha told us about? You have to be Society's gonna take his leather wraps
on his arm that protects his arm and put it around both Manassa's arms,
so to give her some extra brace if she has to pull up on surfaces.
Yeah, okay, I see what they have in your ALCOHOLI come?
Yeah? What was all that down there? Was there something something related to
the power? Did anyone see? No? I think it's too deep.
When I was in there, it felt like an abyss. But how did
they How did they disable that thing? Didn't disablity stopped controlling it, period,
took the hands off controls. You look around, do you see?
Do you see anything? Maybe all it needed was a sacrifice. Just keep
a warm, kay as much as you can. Jeez, Okay, Dan,
is the terminal still intact? Yeah? It is. It looks like
it's more attached to the plant than anything else or the power generator. It's
just the platform has been more or less like dropped down. It's still technically
there. It's just was on a hinge or something that collapsed the innermost part
of the whole thing. And you said there were some platforms above us,
right, Yeah, there was those little egresses similar to what the creatures crawled
out of in the bottom level. So visually, just so I can get
this right in my head, is the terminal away from us or is it
close to us? It is in the center, it's a way from you.
It's just you have a pit now in between the terminal and you and
us. Okay, would those platforms be able to take us a little bit
far enough for me to be able to possibly try to do some sort of
like try to drop down or to jump over or something. If you're able
to get up to one, you might be able to jump onto the power
generator and kind slide yourself or shimmy yourself down. Potentially it's a bit of
a jump, but you'd at least have instead of the world record, you
know, Olympian jump, you've got an angle down so you can get momentum
to keep you going. Okay, there's a potential I can always push you
over there. You guys see the platforms I can I can try and make
my way up and trump across. We'll go together. Good can can you
boost us? Say you're here of course? Okay, all right, come
all right, maybe you can swing us. We'll go down the rope.
You swing and we try to push off the wall again. All right,
so you want me to lower a rope? Are we going down for so?
Up? First? I thought we were taking the arms. I'm sorry,
okay, it's up, yeah, exactly. Okay, come, come,
come, come, let me go first. Is there anywhere I can
climb? Do I have to jump? There's the piping that's been like kind
of around and wrapping this room, so you could probably climb up to one.
I'm gonna test the piping and see if it'll hold my weight. Okay,
you can give me another mite check of two for that, just to
test it. I guess I'll just boost to be a climb of free if
you determine one way or another, and that will be where is it?
Yeah, definitely, I'll test it. It'll definitely hold your weight, no
problem. And you're getting an asset as sciary helps you climb. We can
use the pipes, okay, Diary, can you boost us up there?
Yes? All right, all right, it's ready. One at a time,
Nick, I will go fast because I'm gonna start monkeying my way up
I have climbing. Is this difficulty three? It absolutely applies. Might have
an asset, might or speed your choice. I'm getting back speed. Uh
yeah, so you're you're monkeying your way up there quickly rather than kind of
deliberately. Difficulty three with an asset correct. Society is helping you with his
enable, others skill, her ability. Yeah, okay, no problem at
all. This is easy, very easy. And you make your way up
to the top platform easy right at your hand there. Just be careful.
It's a little loose, all right. I'm gonna just you know, once
I get to the other side, I'm just gonna help her. Just onto
the last bit. Okay, And you do so, no problem, And
your focus is starting to flicker a bit. It looks like what you did
is not lasting much longer. Oh so it's still it's still active from when
I did that. M h just barely. I gotta go. I only
have a little bit left. I look at Alkali and I say, after
what they did, I don't care if they lose their power. Me neither,
And I'd go ahead and try to make the jump. Okay, Doki,
it's gonna be a jump check of six difficulty speed. If you don't
have the jump skill I do, I'm gonna go ahead, Oh god,
I'm gonna go ahead and apply two points of effort. Okay, success,
hm hmmm mm hmm. And maybe with like a slight push of nikel helping
the momentum, you leap out over the open air, angling down and slam
into the side of the power generator. Able to grab yourself on some of
the piping. Okay, you're able to climb down to the platform. It's
not really platform. The terminal, I should say, and cling to it,
Sasha, can you hear me? No response? Okay, I'm gonna
go ahead and as quickly as possible interact with that terminal and see if I
can go ahead and divert the power. Okay, you already did your checks
for this. You were just cut short. You can see a few places
you can divert power. The one that sticks out the most is specific science
center. I would absolutely pick that one. Okay. You hear a quick
or deserted and the lights flicker and dim, though, don't go out in
the room you're in. Do I see any way that would be easiest to
get back to the group from where I am right now. I mean the
absolute easiest is jumping into the water and climbing back up. I'm sorry,
can I if I scream out, will they hear me? Yeah? Yeah,
she's only like twenty feet away? How can lie? Yeah? If
you divided the power, what's going to stop them from doing the same.
You're right, make it so they can't. I'm gonna go ahead and pull
out uh my gun mm hmm. And I'm gonna shoot that fucking panel.
Okay, go ahead and give me a difficulty one attack role. It's not
exactly moving. Yeah, you empty however many rounds you'd like to in it.
It's a three shot burst. But a thing begins to spark and holes
are in it. The screen flickers around the holes and shuts off, so
the power generator stays on. All right, Yeah, I'm gonna make my
way back over to you guys. Just be careful, I will. I
want to go. I keep your eyes open. We see Alkali jump and
land into the water with a splash. Come on, come on, con
I got you. Come. I'm going to the rope make my way back
as well. Okay, okay. Climbing down. Yeah, you don't need
to roll again for that. I would make my way okay, Yeah,
I would go straight for the rope. Okay, you can climb up with
no rolls from before, Dan, Do I have visuals on the machine,
the machine that you were fighting the fish? Yeah, it's I mean if
you look down, maybe, if you're like really peer over, you'd see
it kind of being just on the edge where it's slammed into the wall.
Okay, because while this all is happening, that's what I would be doing.
I would just be looking down to see if it's still, you know,
inactive. Yeah, it hasn't moved. Put all of you together at
the top the ends of this hallway again as you prevent them from sustaining there
stupid rituals. I hope they're not good. It looks over at my nassa.
Maybe we can make you something later. Looks a way okay, yeah,
oh yeah, Oh it's gonna be so cool. You're gonna look epic.
Wait, if you've devoted the power, maybe maybe Sasha has enough power.
Maybe you're is your device working, Biyuka, Maybe your device still seems
to be having problems in this area. It's flickered out. Now, Alki,
damn it? No, thankfully quiet? Okay, are we going up?
Are we gonna find our way through here? Let's get back to Sasha.
Yeah, and then for you could probably do a better job patching up.
And also when we get back, once Manasa is safe, we're coming
back. We are going to find those people, okay, and find out
who they are and why they did what they did. Agreed. Why do
I get the impression you don't have me curiosity on your mind because you're a
smart woman. For you, then questions will be a just an our favor,
not this. Nobody makes a sacrifice to something unless they're scared you.
Alkali nearly took that battery before the one with the radiation damage. Those people
could just as easily have been you. Sasha made a sacrifice of us for
power. Still judging people, it's just noise. You've got to be special,
and there's noise all the time, congratulating yourself on being so superior.
They could have spoken with us, They could have tried to talk. They
can obviously speak. We were invading on air. They were chanting we're invading
because right is I don't want to admit it we wanted what they had,
and we came in and we took it. Mm hmm and maybe enough.
She's right, skip manassa home. H let's just leave. Anxiety's gonna been
down until manasa to get on. Come on, m hm much lighter without
your back. M oh, you mean the extra arm. We'll fix that,
get better. Don't worry. It was a worthwhile trade. It was.
It's reckless. And as iety started walking over, right, are you
going up? What are we going through? We go up? That means
us. Okay, you all begin walking back. Go up the staircase until
you reach the closed door I did shut behind you? Is it open now
that the it is not open? Still shut? Okay, well there's this
door power. Do we know your focus is still not working at least not
on this side. No idea. Then we'd open it up the old fashioned
way. Okay. Six off the sword. Is there a wedge in the
middle? Did a door close like this or did it close single? Is
it a single door closed? Okay, yep, so you could absolute that.
It's just kind of like slamming the sword into the wedge. Okay,
go ahead and give me a mite check of five. Is anyone helping as
already. Now since I'm attacking this, that's exactly we're gonna go. Okay,
you can absolutely do attack. I'm going to I'm anxiety, has just
had it. He's pissed. So can I use Can I just one shot
his name? I am going to use. Sorry, So it's up to
your role. Okay, So maybe any do I need a roll first before
I start adding on the extra stuff? Oh? I have to? Oh?
Am I rolling this to make sure I hit it? Or or is
it rolling to open it? Okay? Rolling to open it? All right?
So can you use your attack role difficulty five to do so if you
have extra stuff that adds on to it, say if it's after the roller
before? Okay, let me quick. We have stone Breaker. Your attacks
against objects inflict for additional points of damage when you use a melee weapon that
you wield in two hands. I'm also trained in two handed weaponry. Sorry,
inspect, and I have red What was that? Just don't break?
I have wreck as well, don't I? Why not? Do I only
see? Okay, I'm gonna grabbed. Okay, cool, all right,
yep, we go, okajoky said difficulty five. I just sworn I got
something off of that. Mm hmm. This is my right. Yes,
you're attacking with your swords, so it would be my base in this sense
to have for it. Okay, success to jam this large sword into and
wedge and lever a Jit snaps open the door breaks huh yeah, Sasha Hull
you could hear keep moving? Hum hmm yeah, okay keep Sasha? Can
you hear us? Yes? Okay? Are you all right? Uh?
Loose definition. We'll talk more when we get back. Okay, Hi,
does that work? How worried? Yes? It worked? There weren't.
We have more power than we'll ever need, lifetime's worth of power. Thank
you? Sorry back, Manassa's kind of nodding off. Oh, I'm just
tired. I'll prepare the medical bay, thank you, Sasha. Okay,
us, can you map out where the hotspots are? Please? Absolutely,
they're already on your device. Okay, who knew that could make you so
tired? Let me see you all begin to walk back, assuming that's what
you're doing. As you trudge, A trickle of blood, though much smaller
than it was with the tourniquet frails behind you due to Manassa's arm, so
you're able to safely make it back. Occasionally you might even hear echoes of
those creatures from the facility behind you that don't seem to be pursuing you.
Make it back to the Pacific Science Center. Zey just books it. He's
like this, so does Sasha. Is Sasha able to talk to all of
us? Now? And this is where you want the facility. You walk
into the dome. The doors that you went through before are shut like normal?
Is there the sigil on the door? Absolutely? I would go ahead
and open it. The door to the elevator opens. Welcome home. That's
where we'll end the show. Well, this sucks, h ah and that
was forbidden lens. You all did it. Congratulations. I'm sad. I'm
I'm gonna say it too, so sad. What what? Yeah? Well
done? Everyone? Wait, I got this Dan, Here we go.
Epilogue. We need an efflog. Nasa gets a new arm both bay with
the love from m K anxiety. She gets a shiny arm very snow snow
melted. Might I suggest with the scraps of the part of the vehicle that
you were going to steal that? Yeah, she's going to have a good
trades with this ship. My god. Okay, okay, like we I
know we're saying that it's the end and that's it. There's no sequel,
but there has to be a sequel, right, come on? What is
what is happening? I need? I need more what? There's so many
things I need to do and say. Yeah, that that is the sign
of a good ending. Mm hmmm mm hmm. Stop stop it with your
logic. Always well, with all endings. It's always good to do the
final shout outs for all our wonderful characters and players as they get to tell
you where to find them, because they're all wonderful and you should watch them
as well, even if it's not on this show. But I do want
to say thank you all. Yeah, so let's uh, let's go around
the circle and give yourself a little final shout out there. I'm gonna clap
at the end for everyone. Yeah, so why don't we start? It's
Millie a day. Oh no, oh, kill everybody. I am Amelia
Tyler. I played for Uka for you today. I feel bad going first
because everybody's been like, yeah, we gotta do a seaquel, like as
of this episode, I didn't know it last episode. As of this episode,
Fuka is fucking out of there. The second she saw how many people
were going to be there, it was just like tapping out, gone,
like this was my group, These were my people. And if there are
going to be more than that, if there's to be a voice in my
head constantly, nap, she's gone. She's gonna make sure my NASA is
okay, and then she will funk off in the middle of the night.
And that's it. Like what you did there, you gave us some stuff
like that. That's good. I'm not sure when I'm not gonna gonna be
streaming, might be soon, who knows. I was supposed to assume yesterday,
but I was feeling a little bit poorly, so I did not because
I'm trying to do that healthy work life balance thing. But you can see
me. Apparently I'm allowed to talk about this now in a Pathfinder right the
Righteous I'm going to be playing one of the companion characters when dug yeah,
question, that's all voice actor? Huh is it all voice actor? Yeah?
Yeah, I think you're not talking an award winning voice actor Ahelia Tyler
think one line please? Yeah? And and those are the stuff going on.
I can't talk to you, right yet on the twitters, and I
will keep you posted as much as I can about all that stuff and things.
But thank you all so much. It's been really fun. It's suck
to have to duck out in the middle, but I'm really glad I made
it back to the end. Yeah. I did all my action last week.
It's fine. I got to go sledging. What more could I go
on? I flew one more time at the end. Yeah, Machine Fly.
I was so happy. Last episod absolutely full circle. Thank you Milly,
thank you, thank you bloody you bitch. I knew, I knew
you were gonna come to me. I'm I'm having a moment, Okay,
Dan, Oh, I'm so sad. I'm so sad. Hi. I
just want to say thank you for having me on the show. Thank you
you know everyone for playing. Thank you Frank, thank you Milly, thank
you Faye, thank you Wag, thank you Kat, and thank you Dan
for doing this for us. It was awesome. And I don't know,
I really am emotional and it's bittersweet. On one hand, I'm like,
okay, yeah, I get my Monday's back, But now's like, what
what do I do? I want more of this anyway, Hi, I'm
bloody faster and I would actually love to be on a campaign with all these
amazing people again in the future. Who knows, finger crossed that we can
get something going. You can find me on Twitch, you can find you
on Twitter. You know, just find me if you want to. You
can find me, you know, if you want to, you can find
the way. That's it. That's all I'm going to say. Just watch
everything that these people are doing, because awesome. Tell us a little bit
about k K is going to be in charge of the food situation over there.
First ideas supposed to feed sixteen hundred people over a year. It's just
sees Mommy, I just ate everything. Well, yeah, that's that's what's
going on. Thank you, Thank everybody. I love y'all so much.
God, thank you, Bloddy heym ah bit is sweet man. I don't
know what to do on Mondays now. Hi, I'm tech. I played
Xaiety. I hope he enjoyed Zaiety. He came in a little bit later
and than everyone else. He was an ad on because I don't know how
to tell time from east coast to west coast apparently, so yeah, but
we figured it out and we're here now, and I could say I made
every show through pain or through better or worse. I wanted to make sure
I was here because I treat this like these are my family members right here,
and I try to do the best I can. And you enjoyed the
character. It's rough playing someone like Zaiety who's a little hard headed but very
very passionate about stuff. I tried to make him a part of me,
but not just like me. Hopefully another show pops and I'm always down table
story has me for life, so hopefully you know, as long as they
keep going, I'm down to do more characters down for more shows. Pebe
your next, because you're You're a goal for me, absolute goal, my
dream. Yeah, absolute goals. Dan. You did a fantastic job that
I don't know if this is your first DM or whatever, but you did
wonderfully. You created a story in a background, and you placed our characters
somewhere that's hard to I'm not letting go of my characters. I mean,
everyone else might be doing it, but I'm not. And I'll never forget
this experience. And thank you for contacting me again. Even though Peep tried
to tell me that math is easy. You know he's not anxiety. He
he he made up with Manasa, took a like into her ways and agreed
to help her open up trade routes. And what he did was he wanted
to open up areas that were safer for people to travel back and forth.
It was his way of giving back to his friends that he lost that he
really didn't get to talk about too much. And also he met with his
family back in Austorom and pretty much explained to his father what he's been up
to and that he's made his own path. And not only did he make
his path, he made a have for others to be able to give to
the future and that was really important for him. So he's just hanging around
with Nasa and learning how to be a merchant and failing sometimes making an upset.
But it's more laughs than bickering and that's about it. Mm hmm.
Thank you. Oh you can find me on twitch technique, oh you know
e just a queue and on Twitter technique TV. You know E. Twitter
is the best way to find out what I'm doing, when I'm doing,
who I'm doing it with, and uh, what projects are going on and
stuff like that. So definitely okay, definitely definitely follow me there lovely.
Thank you tech. Say hi, I'm feeling I played ALCOHOLI for you.
It's not play, It's played now mm hmm stole man. I'm so sad.
What a what a wonderful experience with with such wonderful human beings. Thank
you all genuinely for being in my life. I love each and every one
of you so much, genuinely. And and thank you to the community for
for hanging out with us while we uh got poisoned by mushrooms, had our
arms chomped off, found shiny weapons and no death. Yeah, that's that's
a big thing. So yeah you can. You can find me on on
Twitch and Twitter as flan. It's all the same, same tag. But
holy shit, thank you so much for watching us. I work my way
and I I got I can't wait. I can't man. I hope I
get to be on more table story stuff. That's all I gotta say.
You all are fantastic, Dan, You're awesome with Reaper Relay and you absolutely
killed it with this campaign. Thank you so much for having me. And
with that said, I think in terms of what Alkali probably would have been
up to, she definitely would have dove into the research that that Sasha did
have available in order to find out more about the old ones and what happened
and to try to piece together like what mistakes were made and what went wrong
and how things can be improved for generations to come, and probably would be
working together with her and maybe Nevin to get the signals spread farther and farther.
Fantastic, Thank you, Hey, thank you. Kad Hi. My
name is I'm Kat and I played Manasa your favorite now one armed lou Goblin.
However, will I be able to scavenge now with only one hand?
Carefully? This show has probably been one of the best things of last year
that I started. I'm so glad that I was invited to be a part
of it. Dan, thank you so much again. Amazing, amazing job
being the DM of Consequences. It definitely felt like that, and I especially
for me. But you know what, I loved. I loved every minute
of it and I will definitely miss hanging out every Monday before the show and
talking about Bacon because you know, it's it's just the stereotype that will forever
live on. And yeah, I'm like super super like sad that I won't
get to play with these wonderful people. Please follow them and all they do.
They are amazing content creators and just overall genuinely amazing people. Same thing
with peeb as well. But yeah, uh, you can follow me on
Twitter because that's pretty much where all of my stuff is on Twitter. That's
well, you know, you're gonna know everything from how much bacon I eat,
how much bacon I make, how much bacon I buy, Yeah,
all the kind of stuff I have. I have legit like written down certain
brands of bacon that I've like, I've like. Yeah, So anyways,
that's a whole nother thing that I can discuss on Twitter. But uh,
for Manassa, she probably would have taken Zaire under her wing, her one
wing, and basically taught him kind of the tricks of the trade and helped
establish a safer path for more people to basically come and live and thrive under
like the Sasha project. And I think in doing so kind of fulfilling her
underlining thing of redemption and not. I guess they're trying to erase the bad
name that the Carja people had had. So that's pretty much it, and
she is probably thriving and doing lots and lots of trading and Chinese, always
the Shinese, always the Shinese. Thank you, Kat, Whack Hi everybody.
I'm Wax Stephen. Normally I am the GM of Doom, but along
with these other lovely people, I have been a player of Doom, driving
Dan slightly more insane every week as time has gone on. So I've been
happy to contribute to that. I've been happy to contribute to the show with
all of these wonderful people. Thank you so much, Dan for putting in
the work and you know, sort of slapping together a system with me and
making this happen. And thank you so much to Fae, thank you Bloody,
thank you Millie, thank you Frank, thank you Kat, and thank
you PB for being awesome role players. And it was a lot of fun.
It was a lot of fun. There were some some trials and tribulations
that we all went through through the course of the show. And I know
that with such a difficult time for everyone out there, that the show is
a bright spot for a lot of people and it helped people get through those
tough times. It definitely helped me get through some tough times myself, and
I appreciate it, and I appreciate everybody for watching, and I appreciate you
all for taking part in it. Thank you. I don't normally like to
do epilogue stuff myself. I usually like to let people's minds wander as to
what they think a character that I'm playing would do. And I'm curious what
everybody thinks Nikel would do. Is there any but any thoughts? I'm curious
what you all think. I think he would try to help people. We'll
get here. Oh yeah, he definitely be training people. I think he'll
get them there. He'll train people like I meet with manassa anxiety to check
off point, so it's not just so back and forth, and probably train
people, lead them, have a shrine built, maybe not the shrine,
but have an area built for his mother to you know, bring her home.
You know, he's already said that he wants revenge there. Oh yeah,
it doesn't seem He'm gonna have his revenge arc first and then he's gonna
have to settle down. So I wanted to hear your opinions first. And
I do want to do an epilogue because everybody else did one, so I
feel like it's yeah, I feel like it's appropriate. It's a test y'all
failed, so uh, first and foremost the situation with the the other people,
there's definitely lot of rage there. For sure, Nikel has a lot
of rage inside of him from what happened with the Red Raids, And if
you've never played Horizons or a Donner, if you don't know the backstory there.
We've talked about it a little bit on the show, but it had
a lot to do with the previous Karja ruler sort of trying to sacrifice a
bunch of people, and then Nora took a pretty big hit, and Nikekel
lost his mother in the Red Raids, and it's pretty easy for him to
go to that place again when he sees people that he cares about getting hurt,
and there would be a lot of difficult decisions that he'd make. But
I like to think that even though he's able to get to that place of
rage, he's also good at controlling it. And I think you would hope
to try and get one of the others to help speak to those people and
see if there was any way to work out some sort of peace. But
ultimately I think that Pebe is correct Nikel would definitely want to go back home
to the Sacred Lands and help anyone that wanted to make the journey out.
Like I imagine twenty years from now, in a sequel to the show,
there would be a crew of people called the Shepherds, and it was like
founded by Nikekel and everyone trained and learned how to do that and gather and
guide people. I think that's a really awesome conclusion for him. I'd be
super neat. Yeah, yeah, I like that. But otherwise, thank
you so much everybody, and we appreciate you. Thank you so much for
being here much love chat. Thank you, thank you very much. And
Pebe, even though your time in the show was very short, you are
still a part of it. Oh, thank you. I YOURLF shout out.
Please. Well, I'll just be very short. I really loved the
show. Huge fan of everyone on it. Dan, I'm so proud of
you. It's such a great job. And yeah, thank you everyone for
watching. And what Wax said, he said it best, honestly that I
know that times are tough right now, but stuff like this brings us together
and keeps us going and keeping on keeping on. And we'll keep on keeping
on. If you keep keeping on. So it's that thanks. Thank you,
Peeb and I and Domestic Dan. I was the gem of consequences for
this show, and I appreciate every single one of these players. I'll just
iterate real quick, kind of reiterate what Whac said. I know last year
was super hard, very hard for a lot of us on the show and
a lot of people in the world, and I know my mondays were definitely
brighter as a result. So I appreciate all of you for being a part
of the show as much as you can for some others because of last year.
And we'll just leave it at that, but yeah, thank you,
especially to Whack for running production. The show was incredible as a result,
far more immersive. So I want to just see a lot of love and
chat for Whack specifically because of that, because he was willing to play a
character and run the mood and that is I guarantee you. I couldn't do
that as a character, So that's a huge hats off to you, sir.
You did incredible and I'm very proud and very happy you did that.
So thank you, Problem Muddy. Yeah, as well as thanks to you
and Pebe for encourage me to do the show as well as helping me work
through the systems because Whack knew the system very well, and there are definitely
times even mid show where I'd be like, does does this is this?
How we do this thing? I forgot about the tears until I know.
We episodes before we ended, two episodes before the last. We finally got
most of the character sheets where they were supposed to be. But overall,
yeah, just weeks ago could Yeah, but all very proud of the show,
Very proud of all my players. Thank you Millie, thank you Tech,
thank you Faith, thank you Whack, thank you Bloody, thank you
Kat, thank you Peb for joining me on this adventure. And yeah,
I'm just I'm just very happy with what we got. I'm glad you all
enjoyed it along the way. And I think that's it. But guess what,
even though this show is ending, there's so much more right now on
table story. So you don't have just stop watching shows after this. Please
encourage you just watch all them. Just watch all them, use up all
the time you have in the day that you're allowed to spare and watch all
the rest of the shows because there are so many other wonderful people on so
many other wonderful shows, not just these lovely individuals. And that's all I
got. Anything else, whack housekeeping wise for other shows coming up, you're
the one house things Witchcrafting Wizardies on hiatus until March ninth. We've got Rhyme
of the Frost Maiden on Fridays. That's still going on and it's wonderful.
It's D and D fifth edition, and it's just a great group of role
players and the story has been fantastic. Each one of their little enters has
been amazing. And we have the Cerebrum Project on Saturdays, which is going
to also have a finale on Saturdays. Alay, it's right, isn't it
Saturday? No? No, never mind, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, be like a one try. I'm just a little quite a
