What's up everybody? Welcome, Welcome to Table Story. Simul Lochrum. Hello,
welcome to the show. How's it going. It's going well good?
Is everybody prepared to be your virtual self? Yeah? I got stream in
today. I remember, I remember what I'm like. Let me get into
character. Okay, it's like a furious second where you're just slapping yourself in.
Remember the John to come on together? Oh we do have two cams
backwards. How did that happen? How did I do that? How did
I do that? Oh? Man, I'm on like very little sleep,
guys, so bear with me for the episode today. Welcome to the show,
everybody. While I fix the cameras, why don't we go around the
room and do some introductions real quick and we'll hop into things pretty pretty much
right away. But yeah, I'm gonna switch those real quick, so let's
go around. Please, Jay, if you'd be so kind, Hello gamers,
it's me the gamer playing in a video game with you today while you're
watching. Thank you all so much for tuning in. I'm Jay. I'm
playing an intuitive Jack who rages whose name is Jay Emerson. I hope that
you all saw Void Smokers art on Twitter it's over in our in our section
that the thing in discord Simulacram go look at it. It's absolutely hilarious.
I'm the ugliest character out of the entire party, and I've all played it
as such for all of you. I hope you enjoy it. Thank you,
Jay, Welcome, fantastic, much appreciated. Myth Would you be so
kind to go next? Please? I'm mythmatic. I'm playing Alric Shiloh in
this virtual video game, Newman era ninth World. He is a risk taking
right, which means I think I've like I study ciphers and stuff, which
is super cool, A risk taking right who dances with dark matter. Super
excited see what we get into today and really what our virtual selves do.
I'm excited. I'm hype back to you. Thank you, Naga Orrex.
Hello, I'm Naga Rix and I'm playing Una O'Leary, a gregarious jack who
speaks with a silver tongue and always buys around for her friends. That's kind
of my defining characteristic. I've decided. I was very, very nervous last
week when everything started going wrong, because all I could think about was I
was actually at a con when we were doing the episode, and I kept
flashing to like, oh my god, who would take care of my animals?
If this actually happened? What would happen to my animals? So I'm
very happy this week. I don't know if you can see, but I
have a sleeping cat in my lap. I know, I feel better.
I feel a little better about that. Thank you, Nega Works, Thank
you, thank you for having me. I play a character named Technome who
is a protective nano who works miracles and basically looks like a battle angel.
I kind of imagined it as something between a cyber punk yet magic the gathering
angel in my mind. You know, I don't know. I'm obsessed with
the whole angel looks. So if I can play a healer that also looks
like an angel, and yeah, I look forward to this story. It's
gonna be way different than anything I've ever role played. And this is a
great this is a great crew. So and I was actually in the discord
like reading everything and it was really it's really cool to read what everyone has
to say in the table story discord. So I've been enjoying it and the
fair art has been great so far. Thank you Pocket PB. Hello,
I'm Pumpkinberry, and I am playing myself, playing a character in a game.
I'm playing Cora Alai, a mechanical delve who talks to machines. And
I've been waiting for this all week. Let's go. Unless Wax not ready
and needs me to stall. I'm good, Okay, okay, I am
also ready. I'm good. I'm ready, Thank you, Peb. I'm
Wax Stephen, and I'm normally the GM of doom here on table story,
but here on Simulacrum, I am the administrator. This is a very weird
show. This is a very weird show. We're doing something a little bit
different with this show, a lot different with the show. Let's be honest,
the players are playing themselves, playing characters. We're doing a fourth wall
breaking thing here, and it's real weird. It's real weird. There are
times whell Chat where Chat will be uh actually role playing along with us,
and I'll give you guys some prompts. There's gonna be some prompts today for
Chat to role play along with us. That's not gonna stop. We're going
to do that throughout the whole show. I just want you to be aware
of that. We're going to do that throughout the whole show. But we'll
give you some prompts. Guys, we'll give you some prompts and the show
is real weird. We're playing new Minera if you guys are curious about the
system that we use for this uh and we are. We are sponsored here
on table story from from Monte Cook Games. If you hello, Darcy,

focus is set so okay, yeah, but then it won't be in focus
yet my camera has path. If I had the box set, I could
do it. I could definitely. Yeah, but then then the then the
angry sun god behind you would would be blocking the shots. He must be
Okay, you needs to be appeased. Okay, fair enough, Jay,

amazing. It's pretty amazing. And the whole the whole setting in general just
worked really well for what we wanted to do for the show. And it's
it's it's a beautiful thing. It's a beautiful thing. We've been doing a
lot of patron one shots offline with the system, and I think everybody's really

because blatant favoritism, blatant, shameful, shameful, just kidding. Yeah,
it's amazing. It's amazing. Go get yourself a discount on some stuff and
check it out. Uh. So that being said, I think it's time
to load up your simulacrums and let's head on into our virtual world of New
min Era, the Ninth World. On the last episode of simulacrum Our,
players here loaded up their VRT rig betas a sort of haptic rig system,
including a headset, gloves, and a sort of chest piece that had a
force feedback kind of sensation when they interacted with the world. To use of
new min Era, the Ninth World, a sort of virtual MMO, a
tabletop that they were able to go into and explore this world, and they
had the opportunity to create their characters and journey into this world. However,
after a short amount of time when interacting with it, they were not unconscious,
and when they awoke, they were seemingly able to interact with the world
in a much more direct way and unable to exit or remove their VRT rigged
betas Chat saw streams go dark for a moment, but only for a moment.
Players, Please remove your headsets. Oh my god, did you just
realize you had that? Jay looks sake. No, that's just an unfair
thing to do. So we all take our headsets off. Yeah, everybody
take your headsets off. Pebe take yours off. Oh my god. Yeah.
Okay, Chat, I want to make sure that we separate the players
from you because there's some things that are happening right now. I'm going to
let the players know not to look at Chat. Okay, So Chat,
let's talk about what you saw last session, because there was a time when
you didn't really know what was going on. The players entered this world,
you saw the streams go dark, but quickly after they came back, the
streams were up, and any players that had cameras on themselves, aside from
they're in game cameras, you would have seen the players in a much different
light. There's some there's some streamers I think that have cameras for themselves when
they when they do these kinds of things where they have this virtual environment,
just to see them flailing about and stuff. What you saw was them essentially
slumping to the floor, falling to the ground with their rigs on, seemingly
devoid of any response. I think immediately you would have seen Peebe's husband first
react because they're in kind of a close space. You would have seen him
run over check on Peebe as she fell to the ground. He would have
checked her. He would have checked her vitals trying to get her to respond.
And that's where I'm gonna need to start role playing today. Chat.
Start the role playing now. Chat. You've just seen Pumpkinberry fall to the
ground, her husband runs into the camera, and you never see you never
really see her husband ever on her streams you might catch a glimpse a glimpse
of him. He's checking her vitals, and you see that he's taking off
the VR t rig. You can see essentially that she is wide eyed,
believe it or not, but non responsive. She's blinking rapidly and you can
see he's kind of yelling for her, and she doesn't seem to be responding.
He pulls out his phone and immediately starts calling nine one one. As
that's happening simultaneously, you see the the other streams have similar reactions. Probably
in Jay's stream, next, you'd see Vio come into frame, rushing over
and yelling, babe, babe. Vio rushes over to Jay and you see
you see her doing much the same thing, checking on him. She leaves
on the VR t rig, being a bit wary of this whole thing,
but she's calling nine one one as well. In nega Orx's stream, you
see you see her slump to the ground. And this is probably the most
worrying for you Chat, because I think most of nega Orx's followers and viewers
know that she lives by herself. Does anyone in chat know nega ors Can
they reach out to one of her friends. What would you do on pockets
stream, it would probably take a little while, but you might see her
boyfriend run into the shot and check on her. He also does not remove
the vrt rig beta and he's checking on her, checking her vitals and things.
She is also non responsive. He calls nine to one one. And
lastly, on myths stream, again, I don't think there's much response for
a minute, but you'd see you'd see possibly one of his parents come into
the stream to check on him. They take off the vrt rig beta and
they call nine to one one. As this is all happening chat in this
sort of strange simultaneous event across these streams. This is happening on lots of
Twitch channels the people that were invited to these betas, similar responses happening across
There's a widespread panic that happens, and simultaneously you get insight basically, their
their cameras, their setups that sort of blinked out for a moment on New
Miner the Ninth World are still live. You are still seeing all of the
things that are happening to them as long as their streams are live, and
that's when we're going to get everybody back. Well, that's different music.
Okay. So when last we left with the carecharacters, you had landed with
a travel bubble, a cipher used by Pumpkin Berry and her character Corlai,
heading to the town of Capford, and it was decided by the group that
you were landing sort of on a roof in the town something along those lines,
because we're invisible, right according to the because we're in our sphere thingy.
So this is kind of the look about the town. There's some I
don't know if it's exactly rice, but there is sort of some rice farm
kind of things happening, and there is a it's obviously like a lumber town.
You can see that there's a lot of lumber stored in various places around
the town. Do you land on a roof? Do you just land in
a sort of inconspicuous area of town? What do you do? I think
we were landing just out. Oh no, we were talking about landing just
outside. And then the point was raised that we're invisible, so we can
just land on the rooftop if we wanted to. Yeah, like maybe on
the edge of town or something. Because I brought up the point of like
maybe we should land on a roof so we can like peer down at the
people and see kind of like what kind of place we're in before just barging
on into a town of strangers. We have no idea that could be like
marauders are scary people, things bad guys. I'm okay with that. If
you guys want to like land on a rooftop outside on the edge of town,
I think that's the best option somewhere with like really good handholds. Okay,
and I will bring the bubble down, I guess, on top of
a rooftop on the edge of town. Okay. As soon as you do
that, do you release it? You know, once we can set on
ourselves on the roof. Yes, I do. Okay, you land on
the roof as soon as you That means that cipher is gone now right,
as soon as you power things down pops forever. Okay, But now we're
here we ciphers. Thanks? No, uh what now? Well I'm gonna
scan I guess right, because the bubbles, Yeah, we should stay low.
Yeah, probably stay low. I won't open my wings. I guess
someday we'll be able to use that. You're the cosmetics in you that you've
paid for. Yeah, I hope it's worth it. I bought the Collector's
edition, like the really expensive one that only like fifty people could get.
Yeah, I don't know, I kind of I kind of went a little
all out' well they look beautiful, really cool. Yeah, but Jay,
I think you really should have maybe bought the Collector's addition too. I don't
know what's going on up there. Uh no, I'm that's just he likes
to make meme characters in everything. Character smooch man, he's fucking ugly.
Oh my god, really big lips follow up seventy six, really big lips.
And I would be like, hmmm, give me a small cheek to
the all the MPCs as he's talking. I'm gonna crawl like to the edge
edge of the roof and look down and and a little less inconspicuous if we
just walked into town. But yeah, I'm gonna crawl to the edge and
look down at like the street or can I see what, like what's below
me? Perception check? I guess that won't. That won't be a perception
check. You can just see below you, Oh okay, unless you're looking
for something in particular. I wonder. Okay, maybe hmmm, what is
my understanding? Neumannara mean whenever you're interacting with new min era, yeah,
and you are trying to figure out what it is, then you will be
using that skill. Okay, okay, what do you see? I would
I would like to do a perception check to like see if I can spot
anyone and get like a feel for them. Beautiful, they want to m
what do you mean when you say that? Like? Can I see anything
about them? Do they look like they have a bunch of weapons? Are
they back like? Do they look like they're like rough and uh? Whatever?
Do they look like normal townspeople that kind of like are their children around?
Uh? Is it a bunch of drinkers? Like? Is this a
pirate town? Is this a normal town type thing? What kind of creatures
are they? Sure? I don't think you would have to make a role
for this. They seem like hounds people moving about doing their daily work and
stuff. It's probably in the afternoon sometime, hm, so you know the
people that might be getting up early to do their work might be finishing things
up. Is there food nearby? I think you can probably smell some food
throughout town. All of you would be noticeably hungry by now. By the
way, my tummy growse as I smell the food and I'm like, oh,
we've got to get food. Does anyone have money? Did anyone start
with money? I don't know. How do we check? What is it?
Just like in our pockets? I have a little bit of money,
but not a lot? I roam. Yeah, do we know how much
stuff costs? Because I only have eight? But is that a lot?
Here? Is that not a lot? Well? See, I kind of
spent money on some of these upgrades. I guess I don't. I don't
have a I didn't. I didn't start with a. We have three five
chins, that's it? Yeah, I got I got four? Well you
you know, don't you mith? Like how how much do you things?
Usually from down to town? But I mean like eight five to eight is
about average or so. So I mean like if the eight what what what
are they? Chins? Hin? Not chins chin? Yeah? Like the
leg, like the like the currencyeah, but like the leg, it's spilled
the same different value, complaining no, this is a really dumb question.
Okay, never mind, you answered my question. Well, what do you
see back now? Like, oh, there's people right right there. I
say that accidentally, You're like really loud. Oh there's people right right right
there. They're just townspeople. Everybody looks normal. The study of Townsville.
I think we could probably go down there. We're gonna look fucking creepy if
we just start climbing down the buildings something. They're like normal people. There's
got to be like they're prepared for NPCs. Like, I'm sorry, I'm
sure they're prepared for us, right, They're just NPCs. There's a game.
Yeah, they might not even notice. Honestly, Huh. I wonder
if you walk up and they say the same NPC dialogue. I'm curious.
Now. Yeah, there's like a kid that's walking by, like one of
those little like I don't know what do they look like? By the way,
Like, what are these people? Look like? A lot what you
might expect. I think the outfits are a conglomeration of a lot of different
things you'd see people in sort of you know, canvas sort of attire,
combined with maybe an artificial arm or some sort of strange energy floating about them.
They're they're all a bit weird and a bit off than what I think
you might expect. The whole world sets that feeling upon you. Are you
guys gonna talk? You're talking to someone, You're just I'm hanging back if
you're talking to someone. As there's a there's a kid that walks by,
and I'm like, hey, I hide, I'm kid. Yeah, I'm
hiding. They look around, Oh look up up up this way like above
you and like the sky is up. I'm up. They look up,
go up, Hello, hey, hey, what's up besides me? I'm
I'm I'm up clearly, But I need to get down. I don't know
how I got up here. I don't know, I think, so how
do I get down? Kid? Is there like a ladder? You got
a rope? I can get you a ladder? Oh that would be I'll
pay me back. I promise it would be you a off. How did
I get up here? I think I drank too much. I think it
was a crazy night. See it was my birthday last night, and and
so I drank too much. And I don't know why I'm up here,
but I don't remember, honestly, but I should probably get down. I
can see if I can find a ladder for you. Oh, that would
be perfect if you could do that. I'm getting really hungry because it's been
I've been up here way too long. All right, Oh, thank you,
thank you in advance. Did he just say he was going to get
a ladder? Yeah, yeah, like a whole ass. What if you
offer to pay for it? We don't even know how much a ladder costs.
No, I offered to pay him, not for the no, big
difference, it's big different. I offer to pay him for when five people
get down that ladder. Yeah, also can't we can't. We just you
know, I can lay on the roof and you know, lower lower you
down. Wait, how I'm laying on the roof going to lower us?
Well, I mean I can just use my hands and you know, it's
not that far down. It might be like fifteen to twenty feet off off
the ground. This is like two stories I'm like walking down, not that
down. So well, I mean if I if I lay on the roof
and I hold you and you kind of it's outstretched, then you you drop
far enough to drop and you'll only drop twelve feet. I used to do
park coord Yeah, I'm gonna try this. Okay, I'm gonna do it.
I'm gonna do a pk roll. It's gonna be easy, and then
I'll try to teach it if I if I survive, Here we go,
Ready, there, here we go. I'm gonna trip you if you try
this. Okay, all right, i'mus. I'm curious. I want to
see far knowledge will will transfer. This is interesting. Okay, okay,
okay, you know like he studied it in college. Can he do it
with his character? I'm curious. Ship, Yeah, go for it.
This is a speed task difficulty to Okay, get it. I am gonna
spend some points on this one. You would like to use effort for this
role. I will use some effort null to knock this down to a one.
So hopefully I don't roll under a three. Good luck, I back
away, don't die. You have rolled a five. Why don't you describe
how you get down? Okay, so, uh, I guess I start
to lower myself down off of the edge of the roof. Uh and as
we get close, Actually no, I don't. I do a bit of
a running leap and I use the forward momentum. Uh. And once I
hit the ground, you see he collapses into uh uh all Rick collapses into
a roll and then gets up pretty quickly using the forward momentum, and I
go, guys, okay, so that worked. That worked, And I
just off a little bit of the mud and dirt from the coat. So
if you want, I could try to explain it. Holy shit, that
was amazing. What do you mean you can try and explain it? Now
we have to yell it from all the way down here. No, well
mean we have to worry. We have to go fast because the kids,
the kids coming back, so we have to we have to go now.
If anybody will climbing down, I'm climbing down. No, I'm climbing down.
I like, look at my my stats and I'm like, dude,
I don't have a lot of speed. I can't roll that. I put
it all in intellect. I don't know. Like when we could still see
chat, they said, put it all in intellect, and that's what I
did. You have to stay there because the kids coming back for the ladder
for you. He needs a ladder. Oh I got okay. Now as
I'm climbing down, if I can please make a mite check difficulty to beg
immerson. Thank you, No, thank you for pronouncing it correctly. Yeah,
you have rolled the sticks. Why don't you explain how you climbed out.
I think I'm just like frustrated, climbing down, like in frustration,
talking up to uh to check nom as. I'm climbing down and finding any
handheld that I can, I'll jump down like a foot or two. I'm
the whole time, I'm like, what, oh, watch out for that?
No, oh, step in that crarec You're gonna saeck me out.
You're gonna sec me o. I haven't done this. No, just calm
down, calm out, breathe, breathe, breathe in, breathe out.
How far away from the ground of I don't look down, You're about ten
feet. You got another story to go. Okay, okay, I'm gonna
go a little bit further down and then drop like the five feet and land
on my shins and around my on your money, on your mind. I
landed right on my money. Oh wow. Now might not be a good
time to mention that I'm very afraid of heights. I can down, I
can try to. Okay, Yeah, I don't. I don't even like
like escalators and mulls and stuff. I don't like being lifted up for like
piggyback rides. I'm very scared of heights, so no pressure anything, peebe
but I might I'm scared. We won't judge you. If your pants it's
okay, don't scream or if you fall, yeah, don't don't scream.
And maybe one of you two can catch her, and we could we have
both of you are okay, twenty feet up? Okay, I'm going to
lower her down. Who you know, okay, okay, and then she's
going to drop, and then you're gonna catch her, all right. Just
don't put that much responsibily. You're gonna throw someone off. Two stories you
give me, Please, don't throw me off. I'm not throwing you.
I'm not throwing you. I could never do that. I'm going to grab
onto your wrists and I'm gonna lower you down, okay, okay, okay,
little jacket and I give one part of it to uh, I guess
one side of it to j and then I smart one like a blanket,
and we try to and we just kind of lower as if we're like,
okay, just if you're gonna drop, we got you, okay, okay,
I'll aim for the makeshift trampoline. I've never thought of this, all
right, Just slow and steady. Okay, I got it. This will
be a mighty task difficulty to with one asset? Is this for peb because
she's lowering me? Okay? This is for Una? Oh for me?
Okay my difficulty to you said, with one asset. Noel's helping us with
this. This is great. Yeah. I mean I rely on your on
your instinct or your knowledge for now. You just made a trampoline other jacket,
you have rolled an eighteen sang PB. Your confidence, it's it's what
did it for me? It really did. You made me feel so safe
in your arms. Thank you? So how does this? How does this
work? How does this resolve itself? From the moment Peebe touches my hands,
I just instantly feel a lot more calmed when I'm getting very anxious and
overwhelmed. If somebody kind of like puts a hand on me, it just
kind of helps center me. And I take a nice deep breath and she
slowly lowers me over the edge, and I just keep telling myself, You're
just on a Disneyland ride. You're just on a ride in a theme park,
and it's all going to be over in a minute. And it goes
so smoothly that. I don't think I even get a speck of dust or
dirt onto your jacket, Myth because landing with grace and peebee, thank you,
thank you, thank you. Oh my gosh, you were great,
you were great, thank you. And then I'm going to try to get
down. Oh yeah, how are you going to do that? And I'm
going to do that. I'm going to try to do what myth did.
See if I can learn what I'm are you fasting to do? Just became
a robot and you're going to jump off a building? Well, I'm curious
to see. Maybe we don't have time. I'll explain later. Yeah,
I'm gonna try to. I'm going to try to the way you want me
to explain it, or you got it. I think I got it.
I watched you do it. I'm going to try to replicate what meant did
with no prior experience, by the way, you don't want me to,
like difficulty, what difficulty to speed task? Okay, I will oops,
I will use some effort. You have rolled or fourteen she's gonna break he
Let explain how this happens. I might need some assistance because I don't know
how the game actually functions. So in watching what myth was doing, I'm
trying to decide if it was like a you know, double tap forward and
then I roll tumble role. I'm trying to see if like it was mechanically
something I would be able to do even though me pb had no experience at
doing it. Do you consider yourself a graceful person? No, this feels
different than when you try to perform a sort of acrobatic task in real life.
You feel maybe more confident when you do it. You're able to move
your body in a more intuitive way. You're able to sort of mimic what
he did. Okay, wow, okay, well then yeah, I absolutely
tumble down and gracefully roll at the end, almost exactly the way that he
did before me, and then I stand up somewhat surprised and look down at
my body. That was pretty good. I should not be able to do
that. I mean, I took gymnastics when I was like ten. That
was that was cool? So maybe I want to be honest with you,
I've done that only once on a one story in real life. So I
did that? Was? That was impressive. We shouldn't be able to do
this? How did you do it? A gamer, dude. I don't
know. It didn't feel like I didn't feel like normal, if that makes
sense. You know, when I'm on my roller skates and stuff like,
it felt different. Trying to stay up. I don't know. You have
to control momentum and you have to and you have to make sure your speed
that is going down goes forward instead, and that's the scariest part. So
that was really well, yeah, did you clean on the system or did
you do that? I think I leaned on the system. I was so
there was a system then maybe I don't know. I just sort of did
it and trusted that I would be able to do it, if that makes
sense. You know, like the matrix, we heard a game right what
Yeah, this was like like the game like shut off and we were like,
you know, maybe what we can do here is just reactuated of what
we can do in real life, you know. Yeah, but like like
six hours of us playing was actually only a minute and we're gonna back to
our streams like, oh, hey, guys, I just went on an
acid trip because I don't know. I don't either. I try to access
the menu in the chat again nothing nothing, okay, well, still nothing.
I'd suggest it's at this point. It'd be at this point that the
the young girls. She's probably like I would say, she looks maybe like
preteen. She would come over and she's got this kind of strange looking like
apparatus that she brings over. It looks kind of metallic and there's bits of
synth on it. And she's walking over with this thing and she says,
hello, Hello, I poked my ho Hey, I'm still up here.
She like puts this thing down on the ground. She slaps like a a
something on the side, and you just see it kind of like just expand
upwards towards the towards the roof and it just kind of leans forward like a
normal ladder. Hum well, well that was easy. That hmm hm,
well thank you, and I start climbing down. That was sick. How
did you get up there? I I honestly, I'm not even joking.
I have no idea. I blacked I blacked out last night. And have
you ever No, you've never drank right. You've never drank right because I
wouldn't want to. I mean that's you can't write drink all the time,
no, not like like alcohol or no, you have alcohol and neuminarimis it
could any and yeah, it could be anything. They have weed? Can
I do a knowledge based task? Can I do I know if they have
alcohol? Or what it would be called? Not knowledge based but understanding or
yeah knowledge I don't know. Please make a difficulty to intellect check intellect.
Okay, this is a knowledge based task. You have an inability with knowledge
based tasks. Please use the knowledge based tasks. Die roll from your character
sheet. Okay, knowledge based task? Uh huh uh huh okay, got
it? Oh, difficulty too, ah, yeah, you have rolled in
eighteen. Who There's a really strange feeling that happens. It's difficult to describe
that. I think there's a sort of disconnect for a second where your normal
train of thought is focused on the task at hand, where you are trying
to concentrate on the ladder situation everybody else, and then it pops into your
head. You might know something and then it pops into your head. It
just pops in there, and you note that, Yeah, as it does
that, like I don't know why, but for some reason, my head
just like kind of hits the ladder. I'm like, like it literally popped
into my head, just like are you okay? Is that normal? Is
that normal to hit your head on the ladder? I don't think so.
Oh No, I don't know. No never, I'll explain it later.
I just keep climbing them. Okay. What was the answer to the question
though, like about knowing about alcohol? Yeah, alcohol does exist, definitely.
Is there a specific name for it or like what would be popular?
Like you know how there's like me, there's liquor, there's like whatever.
I think. I think people have specific names for different drinks, but people
would just assume alcohol is a It is a common name for things. As
I reached the ground, I look at the girl and I'm like, listen,
I'm sure your parents will explain when you're older, alcohol is not really
something you should drink probably, but and you definitely shouldn't drink too much even
when you're older. Just take I got such a hangover today. It's pretty
bad. Have you ever No, you've never had a hangover. I don't
even know why I'm doing this. Uh. I reach into my pocket and
I give her one shin and I say, thank you so much for getting
the letter. Uh, do you need this letter? Do you need to
take it back? It's my father's Oh okay, yeah, yeah, you
might want to take that back. You might get mad, Hey, k
hey, kit, can can we borrow your dad's ladder? You would have
to ask him why do we need Why do we need the letter? It's
a ladder that extends itself. Why wouldn't we need the ladder? I mean,
do you want to go talk to this kid's dad? No? I
don't want to go talk to anyone's dad. Of you kidding me? No?
Hell no, I want to go talk to your dad, can I
I want to tell him what a nice young lady you are. I'd really
like to tell him that what you did, you didn't have to do that.
You could just left me up there? Oh oh, rec attention.
We all just right there watching this happen. Yeah, probably a few feet
away. I had another question as well. I assumed we were a few
away. We were able to talk to each other like a voice chat without
our avatars, like speaking or great question. Yeah, we can't do that
anymore, right, we can only just speak with our carrot. Okay,
lost the discord? Okay, all right, nothing new, just checking no
discord from here on out. Yeah, are you actually going to go talk
to his dad. My father probably won't be home for a little while.
You know what that's You know, this is a good Maybe we can go
get some food or something. Got to know where food is right the New
Yest. I'm sure we can find it. I'm sure we'll be Okay.
Are you scared of a little girl? No, I'm not at all.
I don't really know why we need to get a ladder. I don't know
about the latter part, but food, and she's kind, and I bet
her dad must be kind. If she's kind, we were in a video
game. I want to take that ladder and go into it. Kay,
you need to not use words like that, Jay, do you here of
us as can? I just like direct the girl to lead me to food,
like, hey, bring me, I need some food really bad.
Do you know where the nearest shop is? You know what a video game
is? If we say we're in a video game, happened to the fucking
plan? Jay? I'm just walking away with the little girl. Now,
I'm gonna get some food. Sorry, you don't fucking blend in. I
like try around food. Jacobmerson, okase make a difficulty to intellect based check
okay me technome Okay? If you have any skills relating to interaction with people.
Hmmm, here's those probably not difficulty too difficulty to intellect task. Okay,
oh what if I feel? Oh, you have rolled a fourteen.
So she just kind of nods and she says, yes, yes, I
can show you to some foods. There's a shop nearby. Jimesh runs it.
Oh you know what, I didn't get your name? What's your name?
I'm very Oh, nice to meet you. Very. I'm techno or
that's why my friends call me. I don't know where they got it techno.
I think One of the things that you probably didn't notice before is that
she's wearing she has this sort of wrap around you know, like in cold
weather people have those like the ear protection, like not necessarily ear muffs,
but that like wrap around thing and that covers their ears. She has something
similar to that. You can see it's like there's pieces of synth in it
that maybe are glowing or something. She says, why don't you have any
ear protection? How do we need it? She looks a little confused.
You're they've walked maybe a few steps away. Sorry, I thought they were
still like a couple close to us. Never mind, oh, are you
yelling this? No, I wouldn't have or heard it then, My god,
yeah, we're yeah, we're probably like what like fifteen feet away or
something. Protection you'd hear it at all. I don't you see. I
don't need it. I guess I'm just different. Are you blind too?
Blind? No? No, no, no, I'm not. I can
see just fine at least right now. Are you blind? She looks very
confused. The sound is coming soon? The sound? What? Oh man?
What does that mean? Looks very confused. I'm see I came here
with my friends and we were celebrating my birthday. But I'm not from here.
I'm a visitor. I don't know what the sound is. Where I
live. They don't have sound like that. Oh no, oh no,
you need you need you need to cover your ears. You need to cover
your ears right now right? I just she's like looking around. You just
see me, like they see me just covering my ears? Now? What
she doing? Fuck? Is she doing? Guys? Maybe we shouldn't split
the party. Should we just go with her? Well? I mean,
we're walking behind her, but she's having a conversation. I thought we were
supposed to lay low and you turn around them my eyes were I'm like,
cover your fucking ears, why, why, why just just do it?
Do it. There's a horrific noise that blasts through the town. It is
deafening, and I would like everyone except for Technome, please make a difficulty
four. Might check this is related to sound or endurance. Yeah, Coralai
has rolled a four, team has rolled a fifteen. Yeah, Ulric has
rolled an eight. Ja Goomerson has also rolled in eight. So I think
what happens is Una, you and Corlai get your hands over your ears before
this sound occurs. It is a physical sensation that you feel reverberate through your
body, as if you've been as if you've gone to a very very loud
concert or something where you can feel the sound traveling through your body from the
speakers. However, Jamerson and Ulric, you don't get your hands to cover
your ears in time. You can feel the sound blast over you and you
can feel your ear drums rupture. Ooh, this is the first, I
think, aside from the smack to the head, the first real sensation of
pain that you have in this world. And the fucking ears are bleeding.
Your ears are bleeding. Oh my god. It hurts. I don't know
if you've ever had an ear drum rupture, but it's not fun. It's
extremely painful. I started screaming. I would like to scream. Oh my
god. I started screaming, first out of pain and then confusion. Yeah,
I immediately trying to set a doctor. Now, I'm like grabbing on
your should I'm like, please go get a doctor, and I just run
at them. Whoever's the closest. Ah, Can I still feel it?
The sound is still occurring, it's still reverberating. Yeah, and I'm not
shit. Okay. Can we hear them screaming over it or no? It's
probably difficult. You can probably see them react more than hear them, probably
rising on the ground and pain. If it's still through your ears. All
reight's covering his ears, but there's still like you could see there's a smear
of blood coming and looking or leaking through them, like the bottom of his
palm and stuff. As like I'm struggling and looking at you guys, and
confusion and and like rolling back and forth and stamping my feet on the ground
while I'm on my back, just like jaws probably wide open and locked in
pain, battling incoherently. I think that I think that there you would see
very like run off somewhere. Okay, does anybody else on the street seem
affected by this or does it seem like all of the townspeople had their ears
covered? There's probably there's probably one or two people that might run over to
you that that see this happening. But you can see they all have something
sort of like covering their ears. Can you can can you help? Can
you get some help for our friends? Please? It's okay, it's okay.
I'm right here, I'm right here. I can't take my I can't
say I can't take my hands off. You cannot. You don't know what
to rupture to ear drum. It's just it's a horrible it's that sort of
tonight's kind of sound that's happening bringing it's like a it's like a you can
feel the pulse in your ear, in your ear basically, and it's it's
a it's a combination of like a dull sound as well as a ringing m
hmm. I'm sure it's all mucked up because of all the blood in there
as well. So and yeah, you're you're having trouble keeping your balance as
well. He's on the ground. Yeah, I'm I'm writhing on the ground.
Can fall over onto the ground? Finally, does it do anything?
Or we just subject to it? The sound is still happening. How long
I'm gonna I'm gonna kneel down beside Jay just but I still have to cover
my ears. But I just want him to know that I am present.
You can you can't hear the other people, obviously you have that your ears
covered, and there's this horrific sound that's happening. They're making a few gestures.
It's it's it's probably two women that are that are in town and they've
rushed over to Jay and all Rick, and it looks like they're trying to
sort of like keep them calm and try and get them to cover their ears.
Is that even gonna help at this point? Can you please give them
medical attention? Something's really wrong. They're bleeding. What's covering their ear is
gonna do? No? No, are you there? I don't know if
I can hear you right now. It's pretty loud unless you're in my head.
Are you okay? No? It's here? Uh? Is there anyway
I could I could use my hedge magic to make one of those ear things
that these people are wearing, these weird head things, weird headphones. Hedge
magic is not used in such ways. Well that that's convenient. No,
kyrolacostas you say it or something. Please, I'm clear as day. You
can hear noll by the way in your head. Unfortunately, you have already
failed a role. What do I do? You're just screaming this out loud
right? Yeah, because okay, okay, okay, no, no,
I have I have a skill right tool for the job. It's just it's
something like I can't remember, but it's like I just suddenly have the thing
that I need. You have a special ability called right tool for the job.
Are you using an iotem to do this? Do I have one?
I can't really take my ears off and look in my fucking belt. If
you think about your character sheet, your character sheet will open. Okay,
probably need to use your hands to use the iotum. Oh shit, I
don't think I have one. Actually, I don't know that would be on
the sheet. Oh okay, however, you would need to free your hands.
Okay, I can't, I can't. No, how much longer does
this noise last for? Do you know what it is? Would you like
to try and understand what this is? Sure? Yes, thank you?
No, please, what's happening? Please make an intellect check difficulty for If
you have the ability to understand the new min era with any skills, this
would be related to that you said difficulty for. Sorry, correct, Yeah,
you have rolled in eighteen in a similar fashion. The knowledge suddenly pops
into your head that this is in fact some kind of new min era that
is causing this to happen. As you're thinking about this, you can see
that there is a there's a group of what you would assume to be like
lumber workers, like woods people that are returning to town. You can see
that they have some sort of storage cart that they're bringing fresh, freshly cut
lumber into town. All of them noticeably is is blind. Some of them
have no eyes. Some of them have some kind of strange scarification or something
that happened with their with their eyes. It's all obvious that all of them
are blind. But yes, you would you would understand una that this is
related to some kind of new min era. But I don't know anything more
than that. H I think that you don't know specifically what it is,
but you know that there there is a there is a cause for this.
There is This isn't something that's naturally occurring in the world. This is related
to a new min era. Guys, I don't know how to get this
to stop, but I do know that it has something to do with a
new min era. But we've been in here for like five minutes. What
are we supposed to do about that. I don't know how to deal with
that. I think my ears hurt anymore. I them. No, I'm
sorry, I can't really hear you. It has something to do with a
new minera. Can you read lips a little? Uh? Huh? No?
Are you trying to understand Una O'Leary Coralai? No. If I'm honest,
I'm not really focused on what she's saying. I'm really worried about my
friends. I would say I'm focusing on her, not that I don't care
about them writing in pain, but I'm like, I'm just so confused by
what's going on right now that I would say I'm focusing on what UNA's trying
to say. So just make a difficulty for intellect check. Oh yeah,
yeah, oh no. Unfortunately, you can make out her words with a
six. Are you gonna die? We're gonna die? No? What do
we don't? Unrecognized command? What do we do? Unrecognized command? I
fucking hate this game. I walk up to one of the ladies and I
already I asked. I I start yelling can you help me? I need
your help? Can you help me? And I'm like looking, I'm like
screaming at her because I don't know how loud I'm being because I'm like covering
my ears. She's obviously trying to communicate with with you, but you can't
really hear her over this loud sound. She's saying okay, and I say
say, can you can you hold my ears? Can you hold my ears?
You can hold my ears? Okay, Okay, okay, uh God.
I like signal the other lady, the other lady and I and does
does she come over? I'm like they were, they were right there,
so I don't know whatever. Yeah, they were obviously, I mean they
saw this happen and they were very worried about what was going on. I
point Peebe and I'm like, can you get her? Get her? I
need her? Can you get her? Just get her attention? She's kind
of I know she's worried, but I need her attention right right, right
now. Please. I think the the other woman that's holding your ears would
would say something along the lines of, you know, you can see her
mouth moving leg and the other person walks over. Okay, were you asking
for my attention? Yes? Yeah, that's what I thought. Okay,
so I assume the other lady will she will grab you by the arm.
What's going on? I don't go, peep, don't go. Oh god.
I moved my leg so that I'm right next to what, right next
to Jay. It's okay, it's okay, it's okay. Can you please
help our friends? Holy shit, I'm like waving at peebee. I'm like
waving at it, and I'm like do you And I'm like mouthing do you
have something for my belt? Are you? Are you? Yeah? Whatever
you want? Whatever? No, for you, not for me? And
then I point to the lady and I'm like, can you hold her ears?
She nods her head, ye y y yah, yeah, yeah,
yeah, that's great. Okay, then yes, I would like to Then
no, I want to try to make this please right for the job.
I take my ears back and I look at the late and I say thank
you. So I don't know why I needed her to whole mine. It
just was nice, poor lie. You would like to use your right tool
for the job. Yes, this costs you intellect point from your pool.
Okay, you will use you will consume your responsive synth to do this.
Okay, can I make two? Please make an intellect check in regards to
crafting new min era. Okay, you have an inability with the skill.
This will be a difficulty four. Okay, I'd like to use effort very
well. You have one edge in intellect. This will cost you two points
from your intellect okay, uh asset right tools? Yes, yeah, you
have rolled a natural twenty. Okay ooh ooh, I like say that.
All the ladies next to me so not you. You craft two strange looking
devices, and it's so weird because you don't even know what you're doing.
But you know what you're doing and out of the synth. Why don't you
explain what it looks like as you create these two devices because it was out
of synth fabric. Right, synth is sort of it's of technology whatever that
you can imagine to be in this world. It's kind of a catch all
term oh yeah, okay, I think I take I take two motor parts,
and I connect them together, and I'm able to tinker it so that
the motor starts to, you know, whir a little bit, so that
I'll maybe take away some of the sound, kind of like noise canceling headphones.
So I pretty much make two of those with the gadgets that I kind
of have in my tool belt, and then I will sort of start to
head over and then realize I have a woman holding my ears, and then
pause and then kind of gesture with her to come with. And then I'll
kneel down beside Jay and you know, put them over his ears, and
then I will go over to myth and do the same thing. So I
think, as you've pulled these sort of strange motor like pieces, there's some
kind of nanotechnology that bleeds out sort of like Iron Man kind of thing that
happens, and it just kind of wraps around both of their ears. And
then I will go back to cover my own ears and gesture that the woman
can stop holding my ears. Now she stops, this however, does not
alleviate their condition, but I would like to gesture the woman to come back
and hold my ears, and you still have a woman holding your ears.
I think they were. I made her stock because I was like, why
do I have her holding my ears? It doesn't make sense? And then
I make her like hold my ears again. And then I want to lean
down and try to do healing on Jay because I think he would be the
closest to me. Okay, have you healed Jacamerson already today? No?
I know I held someone last time. I held Peb last time. Ah,
you're okay, You're okay, You're okay. Right here is trying to
use healing touch on Jacamerson. Get this thing off my ear. It hurts.
No. Intelect check technome, however you are. You may roll your
key skill for this. Okay, difficulty too, Okay, intellect, Okay,
I'm just gonna I'm gonna go for it. Okay, I said,
yeah, Oh I did it. It's it's working. Oh, look in
my hands light, my fingers are glowing. I have my my fingers like
on his forehead. And guy, do you think similar similar to when you
healed Coral. I you sort of saw like her her brain sort of expand
outward in a sort of like wire frame from her head. You see the
the ear drum and the ear canal uh sort of pull out from from Jay's
head and you can see like these various points of glowing yellow light that you
touch with your fingers, and you can see them slowly start to dim.
Jake Emmerson, you no longer f and as I'm like dying it, I'm
like just glowing and my eyes are just this bright golden just staring down,
like directly down it. That's like when my eyes are meeting as they're coming
open. I'm like, what, that's good. That's good. That's good,
that's real good. Oh And I immediately screamed, can you hear me?
Oh? Sorry, okay, now that you have this, Now that
you have this this apparatus on your ears, Jay, It's it's this sort
of like a noise generator that's happening, like a white noise generator thing that's
kind of kicking out a lot of the noise. You can hear it.
It's it's much lower now in volume, and it's just kind of this like
horrible, griny sort of digital sound. I thought I was dead. I
pushed j out of the way, like I don't even wait. I just
pushed Jay and I want to try. Can I Can I do healing twice?
No? Can I heal him too? Is there? Mana? Am
I gonna run out of uses? No? You have one edge in your
intellectibility. Every time you use your healing touch, it requires one be cost
of your edge. However, it costs you nothing. Every successive use of
healing touch on another person requires another step in the difficulty task. Okay,
so it'll just be harder for me, So it'll be a three. This
is a difficulty to to apply a healing touch on Ulrich Shiloh. I'm nodding
at her because I think we can all hear Nol. Even if I can't
hear what she's asking, I can hear what Noel's saying, right, Yeah,
so I'm nodding at her. Yes, yes, yes, I just
tried to heal him as he's likely screaming. He's make the same role for
all terrified. Probably wasn't as screaming as much as Jay, but very much
so terrified confused. Oh, I've rolled a twelve much the same way that
you saw this interaction with Jake Emerson. Uh, you do the same thing
for all Rich, and you are no longer deafened. Oh, the pain
subsides sort of feels I think, maybe a bit warm, like a fresh
beam of light. I grab grab pocket's wrist as she's like done, like
doing the healing thing, and I grab a risk thank you? What because
I don't have anything? Ah? How long does this last? I look
at the ladies as she says that the ladies now, Jay and Ulrich you
can hear them through the filter of this device that that CORALI has created,
and they say it usually ass lasts for a while. Why didn't you have
any ear protection? We didn't have ears until an hour ago. How long
is that? A while? Probably another hour? Hey, why kind of
just did what do you say? What did you say? This is kind
of just it here. I don't understand, and like it's just gonna do
this for a while. It happens regularly throughout the day for like an hour
or so. Yes, like how many times a day? Maybe ten?
Oh? Okay, are you kidding me? Who wants a drink? Me?
He too? Wait a minute, Wait a minute, wait a minute,
do either of you ladies have any more of those ear things? Because
the three of us are still covering our ears with our hands, so and
I can't really hear anything. So if you have an answer, I guess
you need to direct it at one of those two. And I like,
look at Jay and ooh, do we have anything to write on? We
can get something to write on the first happening, I'm gonna jay hands over
the core lies. I'm gonna walk up and put my hands over her ears.
And we need to get a drink and find more of these wild wild
interacting. Could I study his things so I could see if I could make
it, because I have iotam and I could also craft interesting. Please make
a difficulty three intellect check in regards to crafting new Minera Ullrick, Okay,
No, I have an asset. I have a skill for crafting new min
Era. So that's gonna knock it down. So now it's a two.
Okay, I think I could do this if I roll this? Oh I
can. Yeah, you have rolled a seven. You think you can craft
it. It will take a little bit of time, however, to make
one for everyone, and it will require a unit of IO for each,
And you don't think that they will last very long, maybe two hours or
so. No, yes, I have pressing your luck. I can choose
to automatically succeed in one task without rolling. Could I go ahead and craft
one right now? That is correct, Okay, I'm gonna do that.
And I quickly craft one up and give it to Peb, so you kind
of mimic what she did, which, again, it all feels really like
alien to you. You don't understand, like how you know what you know
about this iotem and the synth and whatnot. But it sort of moves about,
and you feel the nanites and things moving along your hand as you extend
and create outwards. This strange apparatus, this ear protection. I think it
probably yeah, I mean, with pressing your luck, you just you just
kind of make it up very quickly. Okay. I think, like I
find maybe some scrap in the straps of my of like the harness I think
I have underneath, and maybe even some of the pockets of the wolf code
I have, and I pull out like a metal bar that I start to
bend over my thigh, and then I start to like grab these these like
these things that looked like they were probably hoops of some sort of animal,
and I start to like bend those and then I grab like these looks like
it if some sort of biological wire, and I start to fasten that,
and then I kind of hold it up towards and then like you see,
and I pulled a small vial that has like maybe a glowing piece of ore
or something in it, and I pluck that out with some tweezers and I
insert that somewhere in the device, and then it starts to boot up,
like kind of like a pair of headphones, and then I put them over
Peb's ears. Can you hear me? Yeah, yes, yes, I
can hear you. Holy shit, holy shit? Okay, do you have
any more of that stuff? I can. I've got a lot of iotem
but I need you to help me out. Yeah I can, I can.
I just I only had so much, all right, all right,
Yeah, I've got I've got a three more, okay, all right?
And uh And I start to pull out the vial and I start shaking it
around, and I give one to her and I start to fasten the other
one. Nol, I would like to make another one of these. Very
well. Your previous use you used an ability, correct I did? I
used the right tool for the job. Yes, your right tool for the
job allows you to use one piece of iotem. Okay to create a temporary
device. Okay, this will cost you one from your current intellect. However,
you have one edge, therefore it costs you nothing only the iotem.
Okay, yes, I would like to do Can I make two of them?
Yes? Okay, please make two intellect checks. In regards to crafting
new Minera Difficulty three? Do I have an asset? No? You do
not. Okay, you have an inability when it comes to crafting new Minera.
Please use the skill from your character sheet. Yeah. The first one
is a twelve okay, characters are also amazing. Mm. The second role
is a four. You have destroyed this piece of iotem shit, I'm sorry.
Do you want me to try again? Or units of iotein? Okay?
You spent two so far that you were given to CORALI Okay, I'm
sorry. If you would like to craft another, please make another intellect check.
He's seventeen. So after that last failure, you were able to create
the second piece of protective earware in a similar fashion. And again there's this
really like weird alien feeling sort of in your mind for a second. As
you're able to craft these things, you've never really been able to do anything
like this before, you know personally, right, I mean, I know
you put together computers and whatnot, PB, but do you consider yourself a
technical person? Not really? Not like this? No, yeah, like
maybe handy or anything like that. You're yeah, and I mean I've done
soldering and shit, but not like this. This is another level for you.
You've never imagined that you could do anything like this. But yeah,
you you craft another piece of earwear, so everyone's got their own sort of
protective earware at this point. Yeah. I immediately take it over to each
of them, and I slide it over on top so that they can,
you know, pull their hands out to both of you. Last, can
you hear? Now? Oh my god? What is this? I don't
I have no idea. But these won't last for too long? I don't
understand. This is so bizarre. Is this gonna happen forever? Does this
just happen here? Where's this coming from? Henk? Ten times a day?
Hen how long does it last? Then? About an hour? No?
No? How long do these last? Oh? I don't know,
I don't know. I don't She just says, temporary? Is there like
a durability on these? Now? Can we see the durability on these.
Uh uh, Rick, you would know that you probably get maybe two hours
out of these. Pet will get this uh probably this cycle and there's this
blast and that's okay. Probably we have this blast to find other protection or
a more permanent protection. Okay, buy them. I don't know. Probably
we're in the town where they have them, so they must sell them as
a as a commodity. Right, what about you, two ladies? Do
you do hi names technom? By the way, thank you for the help,
but do you know where we can get some not crappy versions of these,
some good versions of these? Uh. Harrish makes them for the townspeople.
But he's he doesn't have any more parts. How many Polish does he
need? It's a quest, guys, it's our first okay, Uh we
should Can you take us to him so we can find out what he needs
to make these, because it'd be we probably should get them. Yes,
are you all right? I've I've never seen magic like that before. Oh,
I'm fine. It's those two that you need to talk to. And
I point at like all yeah, I'm like wiping away the blood with whatever
clothes I've got from my pack, wiping all the blood off my neck,
like, yeah, we're fine thanks to techno. Yeah, I could feel
that, like I could, I could feel that like in my core.
How long has this been going on for in your town? A few months
now? It's horrible. It scares away so many of our visitors. Yeah,
no shit, I wonder why do you know why it started happening?
Oh? Another quest? Like looking back and them like excited, Yeah,
looking for the exclamation point. Somewhere I can I can take you to Harrish.
Yes, please, this is sort of a great adventure. You probably
have no idea what I'm talking about. Uh. You guys kind of run
off into the into the village towards one of the houses, and that's a
good place for us to take a break. Holy s Oh my gosh,
Christmas. You just say Christmas, Jesus Christmas? Oh fuck you whack.
It goes to iotam and some parts there goes my years. You guys chose
this town. Your ears are fine, You're welcome. I know that was
I keep imagining that, like that was that was? That's really upsetting.
Dang Shyeah, you know, like you think this is like a fun game
and then like your two friends are like screaming on the ground. No way,
man, So bring as fuck fucking pockets character like and just wings and
Literal Heal Mercy Yeah, just Digital Healer Literal Mercy ind game with the wings
popping out and the eyes blowing like. Yeah. So this is a good
place for us to take a break. If you guys were not aware,
If you if you've come into chat, you don't really know what's going on.
Chat is doing a lot of role playing and whatnot along with us,
and are allowed to look. You're not allowed to look. Okay. I
glanced and I saw some shit, so I was like, okay, and
then I stopped looking. It's okay, it's all right. I'm going to
keep some things from the players, and I'm going to keep some things from
from Chat. But Chat that was really great role playing. We also have
to get like a mod. I didn't even think about it. I should
have, but we have to get a mod, probably just to have the
bot just say, like, what's going on in the chat out of character,
just so everybody kind of knows. People don't freak out when they come
in yet. I'm working on very little sleep, so I didn't even think
about that. But that's something we should probably have. But yeah, this
is a show that is sponsored by Monty Cook Games. A big shout out

on with the show so far. For those of you that are viewing in
the chat, you might you might be a little confused if you just come
in to join us for the show, but there's going to be some role
playing that happens in the chat periodically and just go along for the ride.
I guess you'll figure it out. It's real confusing, probably if you haven't
been watching, but it is what it is. The players are characters that
are playing themselves in a virtual in a virtual world, I should say the
players are playing themselves playing characters in a virtual world. There we go.
Those are words, I can say those words, and yeah, they've just
encountered a pretty insanely weird place in the village of Kepford. But I think
we have a little bit of a shout out, Nega, did you want
to do that? Yes, I'm gonna stop chewing stress eating chips really fast
to do it. I was just super excited because one of my beautiful mods,
Golligi, actually that I've been seeing in chat until we had to hide
chat. I don't know if she's still here, but I saw her here
at started stream. She just gave birth to a beautiful baby boy literally yesterday
and has been watching today's show in the hospital room. Less than twenty four
hours ago. She was in labor. She's a champion, and the fact
that she's still here supporting us is amazing. So I just want to shout
around and say, congrats Ashley, We're so excited for you, Thank you
so much for supporting and congratulations congrats. An Okay, I'm gonna have to
make a little table story onesie or something. I want it. You wear
the full baby size myth. Okay, yes, let's hop back into the
game. Okay, so we have to close chat. We love you,
chat bye chat. So, yeah, you have all experienced this deafening sound
that's still going on, but you've created this strange synthetic ear protection, and
uh, you're making your way towards this, towards this person that's been selling
this, uh selling this ear protection in town for the for the villagers.
Uh perish. Uh. Two of two of the women that have sort of
helped you through this difficult problem, this reverberating, horrific sound that has happened.
You've you're led over to one of these one of these sort of like
nondescript sort of it's a combination of like synth and like hatch and wood and
metal. These little like little small houses. One of them has like a
has like a window cut out with a with some shutters, and the woman
just like knocks, I guess, like pounds on the door, probably pretty
loudly and forcefully, and you'll see you'll see the door open reasonably quickly.
There's an older looking man that opens the door. He's got on a robe
and like a probably some kind of like weird sort of head gear that links
up with the robe. It's not like a hood, but it's something some
some kind of piece of synth that comes down across across the back of their
head to connect with the robe. Yes, what's this going on? We
need permanent ones of these? Can we? Can you make us these?
But the one that you have? More visitors? I'm sorry but I haven't.
I'm sorry, more visitors. Yes, we have visitors come in fairly
regular for lumber deliveries and such, but I don't have any any spare iotum
left? How how much more? Excuse me? How much? How much
do you need to get here? Hey? Yeah? Do you do?
You? Do you have some im? How much do you need? I
don't know. It depends on the iotum. I'd have to look at it.
How at these got too left here? Mm hmm? Iotem like magic
stuff? Iem? Is that it's the kind? Yeah kind of? I
don't think that this is enough? How much more should we get for you?
Then? If we can acquire enough, will you do the job for
us? What do we mindles like? Well? Iotem can be found in
many places. You can salve it yeah, much as like ciphers and other
new monera. Are you well, are you here to help us? Yes,
but we can't help you if we go down we get plagued by this
sound. And these are only temporary ear covers. They're going to run out
within the next what hours? So did we say, yeah, we don't.
We don't have a lot of time. We'll help you, but we
need the proper gear to do so. I don't want to go death.
It might take you longer to find more eyeotem for this before I can make
anything. Do you have any extras pre made hanging out in the back,
saving them for friends family? Would I do such a thing? No?
I gave it out as soon as we had the problem. I have made
as many as I could. Can you salvage these? Yeah, that's a
good idea. Can you repurpose the materials these were made with? What if
I help you? Like turning my head and pointing at it, it might
be able to make one one? I mean, one's fine, one's good
enough. One's better than zero. Yeah, if you if one of us
stays here while he makes one, then we can go find more. Split
the party, Jay, Really, why say Ulrich should go, and I
should probably go with them, and then one of the ladies can just like
hold my ears or something. Maybe they can go. I don't know.
Young girl, uh very at this point approaches you in the group. You
can see that she has one of the villagers that came back that's obviously blind
They're they've got some kind of uh it looks like that they did this to
themselves. They blinded themselves, like they stabbed their eyes out or something.
Uh, probably more like slashed. Oh okay, But you can see that
she's holding holding uh, this man's hand, and he's like, he's a
pretty strong looking guy. He's obviously like a does physical labor of some kind.
And and she says, uh, excuse me, I turn around.
Oh you're back. I didn't I thought you ran off because if we scared
you with all our screaming, this is my father. Oh, this is
your Oh he's he's strong. Oh no, uh uh what's his name?
What's your name? Against sir Irish? I am candor old. Oh never
mind, this is my ever all right. Oh, I'm technome and this
is and I like gesture to like everyone else to introduce themselves. I'm Jagamer.
What was that I couldn't hear that? Right? Ja works? Uh?
You know Leary Arick Schiler. Help me out it, by the way,
you need help making them days? You need? If not something I
can also help, and I'm Coralai. What the village really needs help with
is someone to stop this horrible noise. Yeah, well we can definitely help
you with that, but we can't do it if we're if we're deaf,
Yeah, you show us a speaker and we'll break it. Do you mind
if I ask you a question, sir? What happened to everybody's eyes?
I've noticed there's quite a few people that I'm assuming they're blind. You guys
can't see. There wasn't enough I owed them for Harrish to create any more
of the ear protection devices. We had three people in town that were blind,
and they didn't experience any of the horrible noise. One of our other
villagers said that they would blind themselves and see if they could still hear the
noise. Holy shit, I read a book about this sci fi novel.
I read it in high school. Did it work though? Did so?
If you're blind you can't hear the noise? Yes, only the truly blind,
though, so Jay, you shouldn't hear the noise. I'm not blind,
I'm just aug leak. Oh no, sorry that was that was a
he's never mind. Uh so that's always an option, you know, That's
always an option, I guess. But we will definitely help. I'm not
gonna stab myself in the fucking eyes. No, it's only the truly blind
anyway. So I think we should stop using the word definitely in this place.
Oh yeah, I think I think that. Yeah, that might be
a good idea. Yes, I think that we would be more than willing
to help. However, we need ear protection. Otherwise we're just not going
to be able to help because be covering our ears most of day, not
able to really do anything. If you know where to get some more iodium
that would or some more of these fancy headset things, then that would really
help us been recovering or stopping. Do you know what's causing the sound?
New minera related, isn't it? I have no idea what it is.
I've I've heard it. I think we know where it is coming from.
Oh, no, one has been brave enough to go there. I'm brave.
No you're not, but I am. I'll go there, and you
guys are going with me? Yeah, I again happily, but not without
your protection. That's going to last longer than two hours. We have your
protection and we have two hours. Good news, perish. We are not
no one. How far away is it where the revengers? It is neld
Just like that. I'm just going to back up and put my hand for
Jay's mouth because he can't see it anyway, I'd be like, just stop,
just sorry. It is near where we where we cut down our lumber.
How how far? By time? How long would it take us to
get there by foot? Maybe half an hour. By the time we get
there, we're gonna have what an hour and a half left with you.
It's not good. It's not we're gonna have an hour because we'll have we
have to get back, okay, but it's it's either of that or I'm
going to lower my voice a bit. We pop that bubble again, and
we get out of here and pop the bubble again. It's over. It
was a one and done. Oh it's going to take longer, probably to
run out of the range of this right. Here's the deal. Its I
think there are some people who have made themselves permanently blind in this place.
I think the best way to help out this town is to make as many
of these things as we can. If we stop the sound from being made,
and these people have gone blind in vain, would you live your life
blind for no reason? I mean, they're gonna have if we sound,
if we leave it forever, they're gonna have kids growing up now being broad
to the world, living like that. Listen, I'm not gonna not help
them. However, I turn around to the man, I'm like, do
you have like a leader, someone who knows about just a leader, a
mayor maybe someone that that leads you all? Or is this just no just
no leader? No leader? Uh? You work as a collective here?
Crap? Do you have an elder? Maybe parish is the oldest? Okay,
well the namer I uh no, excuse me, what's stop? Stop?
Okay, you know I'll be I'll bear it back. I'm just a
bit overwhelmed right now. If you guys could work with or here's we gotta
work on getting these ear things and then we are definitely gonna go find out
what this noise is, I could pray I'm gonna go our God, No,
I wouldn't use that word. That could be bad in some places.
But yes, I'm gonna go take a breathing real quick. So I'm just
gonna walk away from the group. We don't talk about our god at all,
right. They look at each other confused. As I walk out of
range, I go, no, no, no, I have a question
about a cipher that I have. I don't know what it does. Well,
I know what it does, but I don't know what I can do
with it. That makes no sense. So I have this telepathy plant.
Is there? Like? Do I get to read someone's mind with it?
Or do I just talk to them via distance or in a with distance?
Are you referring to your telepathy implant? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, that
that thing, yeah, right right here, it's in my inventory. The
implant is an injection that the user activates and targets one creature and range with
for one hour per cipher level. The device enables two way long range mental
communication between the user and the target. HM. I mean this could be
a way to keep in contact with one of the townspeople to get what we
need. But I don't know if I want to use it for this,
I don't know. I don't know, Thanks and all, Thanks Manna,
thanks Buddy, Thanks God, and I amen, and I walk back.
So where can we find the di iotam? Where do we find it?
Yeah? So like a junk heap nearby that you know of where you're like,
we don't go there because there was a wolf that watches it and we
don't want to get our arm bitten off. This isn't there isn't any left
anywhere. But I didn't not in the village. I have a really really,
really hard questioned favor to ask of you. Can we borrow people's we'll
give them back when we're done. Just let us go check out this thing.
Then we'll just be done. Let us go take care of it.
Some people are just gonna have to put their hands over their ears for a
little bit. Oh promise, we'll be back though. We'll get this thing
taken care of, and then we'll get out of everybody's hair. We'll just
we'll leave Harrish sort of pipes up behind you and he says you cannot remove
them. They're implants. Oh okay, So we're basically just in a time
crunch. If we want to help you start to see all Rick, start
taking goggles from probably that were around his neck. These two like metal plates
that were in the back of like probably in like one of his like one
of the coat pockets. It seems like it was too big to fit in
his pocket. And he places those down as well as what looks to be
this like little maybe a cube, and one of the sides like flaps open
as he sit sets it down, and he goes, right, your ciphers.
If we're gonna make this, if this is gonna be a thing,
I could take the eye owe them from each of these those ciphers will be
used. Oh yeah, okay, oh yeah, take this right. I'm
gonna hand over h small disc that would like normally split in half. It's
like a machine implant, and this is I don't know what it does.
Just there you go added to the pile. I look at everybody else.
You want us to give you a cipher as many as you want? I
mean, if you want to help people out, if we want to help
this village out, I think this would be the best place to do it.
I mean, you'll get more depending on the level, we'll get more.
We'll get more. No, I meant, like you could think you'll
get more resource out of it, depending on if it's a higher level or
not, does not, does not matter. You know what, here,
just take this one and I hand them the gravity nullifying spray. Even though
I don't want to get rid of that one. I know, I don't
want to get rid of my gravity, my gravity changing place either. Yeah,
I've got a massage changer that I don't want it, but I mean
I'll pass it up if we really need it. All right, you can
have my rejuvenator. Oh hold on, that sounds way better than a Yeah,
that sounds amazing. Also, how many do we need we need?
I want to help the town. I don't know. Well, I mean
just just for us. We need to be able to do. You do
it to one and then we can see how many we need afterwards if we
get any If we don't get anything from it, then there's no point in
doing it to anywhere, like trying to salvage anyone else's right, because it'll
just be a waste. And we should look after number one here and make
ourselves. Yeah, me, it's a joke. We're all number one.
I'm just kidding it as a joke. Guys, I'm just joking here.
How about you just salvage mine. I'll give you my gravity nullifying spray.
You salvage it, and we'll see what happens, and if it works,
then then other people can offer one as well. Well, hang on,
if he's going to make it, he's just making implants that we permanently put
in our ears. Just make it match me place gold. Thank you.
You found a way to make one set that are like kind of noise canceling,
and I'm not going to test if they're removable, So maybe we can,
maybe you two can work together, you and Harash to find a new
way that isn't an implant noise canceling headphones. Got it, I got it?
Yeah, okay, sure, I just don't want to end up making
a temporary thing, you know, right, Yeah, sounds like a plan.
We got to do something. We don't have time, so okay,
yeah, I just put I put, I put in your hand. Here's
my there's my cipher, and I've got all three of mine up for up
for dissecting into iotam. So I mean, if you need another one,
you can have my rejuvenator, but I'd like to keep it of pulse.
Just keep it for now. Let's just see what happens with with with ours
or with mine? We got the test right, Yeah. Besides, that
sounds really good. I don't know what it does, but it sounds it
sounds cool. How many pieces of snipher's are you trying to disassemble and salvage
for iotom one or no? Which one? Uh? I like? Put
my hands on the pile, I push everything aside and I leave that cube
this one? Which one is that? By the way, this one is
the instant item level one. The Sniphers level is level one. Please roll
a salvage new Minera. Check the Salvager Instant item difficulty level one. You
have rolled a natural one that is a GM intrusion. You gain one XP
and you can give one XP to another member in your party. I will
give it the pocket or offering the Gravity or the Novice Prey or the Gravity
Spray character. Pocket is not recognized. Oh techno, yeah, get it
right, Technome. You gain one XP as well as one XP for Alrich
Shiloh, thank you. What happens when you try to take apart this cipher
is not good? I'm gonna need another role from you. Oh oh no,
oh no? What that he just said? That? Oh? I
thought he wrote, but failed again. Please roll, please roll a D
two hundred hm hmm, yeah eighty. How many other ciphers are on the
table? Three? Three other ciphers? My other two brevity four I give,
I gave mine four. Yeah, I do leave that off my sheet.
So roller one D four please no, no, all four ciphers are
destroyed. I'm about to paunch you in the face. I know I'm a
healer, but I'm about to work another kind of miracle. What did you
just do? What the it wasn't supposed to happen? You think, uh,
they were here, they were here a second ago. Wait we all
hear no, sorry, we all hear null saying the rolls right. We
all know this wasn't his fault. Okay, all right, No, I
still blame him. Who's a ship roll mh To make it worse, I
think you've I think you've you've destroyed those devices. There's a some kind of
feedback or something that happens. What do you think happens when these devices get
destroyed? So I guess I confidently because before I did a pretty sweet PK
roll off the off the roof. I feel like I have that it's in
my backstory, I can do it. So I go to do it,
and I have no idea what I'm doing, but I hope the backstory will
actually start. I guess conducting how an orchestrating how this is gonna work.
And it doesn't. I start to like, I guess, break it open,
you see. I kind of look at everyone like I know what I'm
doing, and I pop it open. And when I do that, it
exposes the I owe him that's inside, which is cool for a second,
but then it starts to and starts to like it starts to fizzle and crack,
and I drop it on the on the on the table. Uh.
And the box that is now open with an exposed iotein inside starts to vibrate
and rattle around, and as it does, arcing cyan blue probably lightning that
it actually looks more like smoke arcs flies out and taps and zaps all of
the other bits of cipher. Uh. And this cipher is an instant item,
which means I could use it to put a cipher in it to recall
out of it later, kind of like a like a bag of holding.
So what I think happens here is it eats all of the ciphers that are
there, and then it's fears itself. See this horrific uh short circuit sort
of experience happen all across these devices. And then just kind of okay,
uh uh commerce and what was you're the cipher that you put in machine controlling
plant? Okay? And what were the three that you had me? I
had well that that the one that I was that was an instant item.
Okay, that was an instant I just look at the NPC's that was an
innocent item there. And then the the other two were that was a gravity
plants. And then the other one was, uh, it doesn't matter.
I don't think, no it does. Ah. It was the it's not
even on my sheet anymore. It was the crafters eyes, the craft's eyes,
the grapher's eyes. Can you describe as that? Because ah, oh
ship I said that right. I feel like I'll be very embarrassed if I
describe what it does. No, uh be embarrassed. Let's hear it.
No, what a craftersize do? I could have instantly crafted one to even
easily, but I needed to I needed salvage one to actually craft what it
was. So I couldn't actually use it. Yeah, all right, hold
on, I'd like to hear what this is. Would you like to try
to understand what kind of new min era the crafter's eyes are? Yes,
sir, that is a difficulty for intellect check in regards to understanding new min
era. Do I just do understanding new minair correct difficulty for Oh boy,
we'll see failure. You have rolled in nine. Unfortunately you know nothing about
the crafters eyes except what Alrek has told you. Abused it, but I
needed to salvage the eye item first. Yeah, I get it. Can
you try again? Like I can give up the bisage changer? I mean,
why did you need iote him first to use it? Because you need
iote him to craft even airraft. I mean I have to craft something.
But I mean said it wasn't enough. Well, I guess we're just kind
of out of look here, running out of time. We can go.
We could go scour the side, like the country side, look for ciphers,
and then we could make him on the way. These only last for
two hours. If we're going to make a go at something, it should
be whatever's causing the sound. As much as I do not want to do
that. Oh, I agree, I agree, we can do both.
I also agree, I would like to use a player intrusion. Convenient glimmer.
My bad, Sorry technome has decided to use a player intrusion. This
will cost you one XP. What is the layer intrusion you would like to
use? Oh, convenient glimmer. Glimmer provides you with a clear answer or
suggests a course of action with regards to an urgent question, problem, or
obstacle that you are facing. And we're facing a lot of problems and obstacles
right now. Would be very nice to have a suggested course of action or
answer with regards to this. That's clutch. So I think, what happens?
You feel this like weird sensation in your head. There's a certain static
and I think you hear whispers coming from all about you. Different feels like
it's a different distance away. I think maybe at first you think it's someone
in the town, but you realize there's no people where the whispers sound like
they're coming from. And also whispers would be really difficult to hear with this
horrible noise distortion thing that's happening, and you just hear, you just hear
the whispers start to speak. There is a new monera that is causing all
of this. It is in the wood. In the wood. There is
a new mon era that is causing all of this. That is in the
wood, my wood. A whisper back. You start to see like a
probably uh you know, like when you get really tired and you maybe see
some spots floating for a second. Mm. I think you see that start
to coalesce like in front of you. Yeah, and you see like a
you see maybe like a small sphere, uh, probably red standing out a
bit from the green and the browns towards towards the woods. I I like
reach out for them, and I just start like walking towards them, like
I think I can like grab these like little orbs that are just quit.
What is this? I don't know? And I just start walking towards it.
It intrudes, Can we just yeah, just follow? I think I
think I know where it's at. I think there's I think it's I know
exactly where it's at. We don't have to look for it. We'll know
where it's at. We'll be back. Okay. Well, I think if
we have the older ears, then just told her years I don't know,
we'll see okay, okay, yeah, walk out and then I turn and
be like, right, so thank you, we'll be back. We'll fix
everything and we'll be back. All the villagers look very confused, like awkward,
walking backwards, like bye, we won't be back. Yeah, I
just I just follow them, so part of the Collector's edition. I think
I don't know, like it was an intrusion. She said it out loud,
Oh Russia, Yeah so you are. I'm just like I'm just grab
them. I'm just trying to grab these orbs, and like I just keep
following them, following them. So I don't know how far this goes,
honestly, and I completely forgot that I was even hungry at this point.
So are you sure you're okay? No, Yeah, this is guys.
It's just so trippy. I think I think this player intrusion gives you acid
or something. This is so weird. It's like I could grab these balls.
That is sick. Yeah, it's pretty coold. Yeah, I used
to try one day. You're talking we need ball nothing, not balls though,
we need new min Era. No, it's they said, it's the
new Monera causing this thing. You guess hear thy. Yeah, there was.
I thought you guys were whispering. It was really annoying at first,
but then it's just these voices. They they they didn't start Friday. They
started talking in my head and whispering weird, weird, a lot of weird
shit somethings. Tm I but they said the new monera was causing this and
it's in the wood. And then these floaty like little orbs everywhere just started
leading me and it's like I could see where it was. I could just
see it, you know, with my eyes. I'm terrib Just follow yep,
I'll just I just have to trust you. At this point I have
trust you completely. Let's go. This sounds terrifying, by the way,
agreed, Yeah, a little bit. You're making your way out of town.
I think you see probably another thing that's it probably catches you all a
bit and you get another moment of of I don't know, I'll let you
decide. But there's there's uh what appears to be like a what looks like
a combination of of a lizard and a a maybe like a like a mountain
cat. This this is things pretty big. This is about the size of
a horse. You see uh this thing and it has like a it has
a has a addle on it and the equivalent of what you would assume to
be a saddle. Some of it's made out of synth and whatnot. Bad
ass, there's mounts in this game. That's the thing from Avatar. But
you see as you as you kind of like walk past it, you can
see one of the one of the villagers, one of the blinded villagers,
has a uh, probably like one hand on one of the one of the
reins of this creature, and it is uh, it's carry it's it's carrying
some of the lumber. It's obviously some kind of an animal that they're using
for for the labor and whatnot. And as you pass it, you just
you kind of hear this like, hey, I'll give you a shin to
ride this. We have we have no time. I want to ride these
after though, do we have to connect our hair? I mean, we
have no time to ride this. We got to ride this to the things
that we get there faster. I totally agree with you that I bet it'll
fit the smallest people. And I like turn back and I look at uh
Una and and Pheebee, but all five of us. No, No,
you guys go ahead and we run fast in a very fast like manner.
Well, I teleport. We have to. We have to follow you though,
because we can't see where you're being led. I'll tell them. I
can't tell a port. I'll be out of sight. Oh do you have
any more of these? These are pack animals? Great? How many do
you have? We have a pack? We have a pack. Then someone
rolled me a one D six? Got it? Not myth? My one's
done? Where my ones are out? Nice? We might be able to
rustle up six of them six, one, two, three, four,
five? And who's the sixth? Are you gonna go with us? Sir?
I'm with you. I don't understand. Oh, we're gonna go stop
the sound you are? Yeah? I mean, have you heard it?
It's awful? Can't hear what he's blind? Oh right, I can still
hear it, and it is awful. I don't know how why I'm gonna
go stop it? If someone's gotta turn off the radio or something. I
don't know. We're gonna stop it. I uh A good question? An
animal? Yeah, it's a weird animal from where we're from. Uh?
So can we take can we get five of these. Yes, I suppose
so, yeah, that'd be great. Yeah. A difficulty to intellect task.
This is in regards to communicating with another person. All great, I'm
allful communicating with people. Well, you know what he should have? Uh,
should have someone else who's really good at communicating with people's silver tongue?
Do it have the silver on their tongue? Right here? Oh? You?
Oh? Why aren't you talking to? Why am I talking? I'm
terrible at this? Uhts step aside? Wouldn't be at all possible seeing us
we are on a mission to save the town here U would you mind terribly
if we borrowed five of these to get us to our destination faster? She's
so nice, very please making a difficulty to intellect task. This is in
regards to communication or persuasion. Okay, since I I just want to confirm
aal since I have a skill for all social interaction, do I get any
type of bonus with this? Or you can click the dye next to the
all Social Interaction skill on your character sheet. The difficulty is too thank you.
No, you have rolled a seven. So the person that you're speaking
with, they say, of course you're helping the town. Please let me
get them unsaddled, unhooked from there the carts you is there anything? Is
there anything they like to eat or do you have any treats you kind of
give them when they're good or anything like that. Yes, they are vegetarian.
Any fruit would do well, noted. Thank you appreciate it. You're
welcome. Thank you for helping us anytime. Honestly, I mean, it's
what we're here for. I think. Is that, Yeah, that's what
heroes do. It's what we're here for. It takes maybe a minute or
two for them to maybe like five minutes for them to get the gaullien or
the gallon, sorry, disconnected from the carts. And you can hear like
these these creatures they have a you know, if you if you've interacted with
any reptiles, they just kind of exist, right. They don't have the
same They don't have like that ma million sort of connection that I think a
lot of people have with with a lot of like cats or whatnot. They
just kind of want to be warm. But these things are they're not just
like a reptile. I think like as you've gotten close to them, they're
they're I think maybe upon seeing it, you realize that the animal kingdoms that
you are used to are not the same here. There aren't just you know,
our normal animal kingdoms that we have. The lines are a bit blurred,
and uh yeah, they're just kind of they're making sort of like these
strange sort of like hissing sounds. They don't look like they're aggressive or anything.
That's just kind of what they do as they're as they're moving about,
but they seem rather domesticated. They're not really being aggressive. Uh. They
get them unhooked and uh, yeah, you guys climb aboard. While that
conversation's happening, I think all Rick is scanning the ground. I guess everybody
else is probably maybe paying attention, but he's not as much. He's his
focus is drawn onto the ground and really anything else around is there? Can
I use this time to scan for iotum? Uh? What's the range on
that end? Feet? I feel like you can. It seems like you
would like to scan for iotum. Correct, don't have to tell him.
Yes, When you scan for iotum you use a device or some kind of
unique sense. Kah, which is it for you? Are going? Uh?
Probably a unique sense? Very well? This costs you too, uh,
that's not filled in all the way. Uh, I think it's intel.
Yeah, I think that's too intel. Yeah, please make a an
intellect task role. In regards to salvaging new min era. The difficulty level
is four. However, you have one asset. You have rolled a seventeen.
Yeah. Yes, So I think what happens is in the ah if
you have the fiber optic streak in my hair. So maybe when I'm scanning
around, like maybe it'll like glimmer when I see something. Maybe that'll be
like the divine sense or something or that. I think, I think,
I think what happens is you see, uh, one of the one of
the pieces of lumber that has been collected in the carts that they've got attached
to these gallon that they're that they're disconnecting right now, has probably in its
core. You can see that it has quite obviously a piece of iotem in
there. You can see it almost as if you're looking with X ray vision
through the through the piece of wood, through the piece of lumber, almost
like it's run into it. If I just you know, you know,
keep talking keeping and I'm gonna just rab it off of the cord on the
back of the cart. Oh my god, I don't have the silver tongue.
You keep talking? Are we? I wow? What are these creatures
either? Do they have names? Maybe anything we should know about them?
Taking care of them? Answer and Prancer and I don't know the rest.
Something in Vixen man, sir, comment comment Cube, Blidsen, Donner and
Blitzen. Yeah, there you go. What do you recall the most most
wonderful of all? Yeah? No, who was that Randolph Off? No,
it's rained that a very shame. You know, we'll be going,
sir, Thank you so much, thank you, thank you, thank you
so much. Sorry about that. Yeah, they're there blind, I mean
as I mean, they're they're just kind of they're making like the like.
Yeah, yes, we all at the same time. We're leaving. Thank
you so much. We will be sure to return them shortly. Yes,
please do your best to help the village. We will, we will,
we will do our best. Thank you. And now everybody's getting on top
of these gallon yeah, riding off into the sunset. What do they feel
like? Do they feel they're very strong? I mean they feel the scales
are probably really similar to like an iguana scales. Okay, wow, they
don't really. They don't really feel like a like a snake. They feel
more like an iguana, sort of like a rough type of scale. Do
they respond to like pets and stuff I'm petting mine? Yeah, I would
definitely. I'm not. I'm chasing these damn bubbles. I still see react
to other pets like I don't cat. I thought you said amazing, and
I was like, please make an intellect task roll difficulty level two in regards
to interacting with creatures. Okay, can I as well? You have rolled
a fifteen. Anybody that wants to do this can make a cool so.
Uh yeah, it seems to. It seems to react to your to your
petting. It's got these weird sort of flagella like antenna things that are kind
of sticking up from its head. Coralize is the only one that seems to
respond in a positive way. However, when you and when you and Jay
Gimerson do it, the creature probably maybe nips a little bit like it does
like a just like a little Oh my god, it's a big I mean
it's scary. Yeah, let's not try that again, Jay, am I
supposed to ride this thing? If I can't even pet it. I don't.
Okay, listen, I had a bearded dragon once when I was a
teenager, and I named it Beefcake. And this will be my beefcake again
if I can ride it. But you got to let me ride, you,
little buddy. Not a sentence. I thought i'd be hearing you say
today, But Beefcake was my boy? How far how much farther pocket?
How far away away? Do I know? You guys haven't even started writing
yet. I mean I started going, Oh yeah, I will follow her
something to get up on this? Can we get up on this? You
guys can all get up on it. I mean you were just kind of
trying to interact with it in a positive way to actually to actually get going.
I imagined I was petting it while I was writing it. But yeah,
did we not get a cart? Why do we need a cart?
Please? Please make a speed task roll difficulty too in regards to writing an
animal or creature? No dot, do you get a bonus to anything if
you have edge if you use effort? Okay, can I use this skill
on this? Like knowledge based or understanding? This is a speed task?
Poop wa A. Jac Emerson has spent one effort to make this task easier.
Yeah, it's sixteen for Coralai, a thirteen for Una, five for
Jake Emerson, and a three four Technome Ulrich. Sorry, no, what
am I making? Sorry? Task difficulty level two. In regards to riding
a creature, it's a Mica speeds task spied. Ulrich has rolled a sixteen.
So yeah, everybody sort of sets off. These things have like a
weird you know, more like a cat like stride as opposed to a horse.
So you know, there's like that that's sort of like strange bounce to
them that they have, like we have hiccups. Yeah, and you see
Technome maybe make it like three or four strides before she just flies off this
thing. Shit, pocket, Are you okay? Are you okay? Yes?
Yes, maybe I did land on my wings. Please make a mite.
Ask roll difficulty to Oh I rolled MITE the first time. Wow?
Yeah, okay, Sorry. Technom has rolled a natural one. Oh.
You gain one XP and you can give one to another member of your party.
Hmmm, I'm gonna give mine to Una. I don't know if she's
been given XPS. And by the way, no she doesn't get a reroll.
It's the same role I would have been the same. Yeah, yeah,
well my speech ten one more. It doesn't affect the role. Oh
it doesn't if you spend effort. Oh okay, you gain one XP and
I'm sorry, who are you giving the other one too? Uh? Una?
Okay, you hit the ground really hard and smack into some rocks.
Please roll a one D six. You run into six rocks, three rocks.
You take three damage to your mic my as you stumble rolling and just
kind of smack into a rock as you hit the ground. Oh that works.
Does my stuff go from nine to six? Six to nine? No,
it's that's just your current, not your pool. Okay, sorry to
interrupt. I have an immersion question when when this is happening and we have
to roll, does time like stop for us? Because we can hear Nol
saying like, oh you rolled in NAT one and then she has the accident.
What is it like for us? I think there's a brief pause.
Okay, there's a brief pause. It's probably similar like in a lot of
games, you know where there's like those time based uh role play games where
you have like it goes into slow motion. Yeah while you're making a decision.
Yeah yeah, yeah, okay, be similar to that, I think,
holy shit, Okay, wow, that must be you are disorienting as
hell. Okay, I don't think that it is. Oh okay, it's
not disorienting for you. Okay. If anything, it's good because then people
around us an't like, what the fuck? So we all know that you're
about to fucking eat face because we hear the critical role. Yeah, we
hear okay technoms rolling smacks into the okay ing and it fucking hurts. It
feels like you fall off. It almost feels like you're fall fall out of
a moving car or something. Then you smack into a rock. All right.
I stop my my not steep, my lizard, steep, stop your
styeah and I and I definitely get down and I try to check on her
and make sure she's okay. I'm not to get down because I don't know
if I can get back up, unsay, pocket, Are you okay?
Oh you go? There's like like a minor gash on my head. It's
bleeding. I got like I got the typical scrapes on my like elbows on
my knees, and I'm like, man, this was like all gold and
white. Now I got scratches on it. It's okay. We can everywhere.
We can fix that. It's not a big deal. You bumped your
nog in a little bit. Can can you pat a lot of money for
that? I have tools I can hold on. Can you look at me
for a second. Does two fucking concussions happen the same way? Here?
Do her eyes look like normal? Like? Does she are? She?
My eyes glow gold? Is that normal? God? I don't know if
I can tell if they're dilating. I don't know, but I gotta cut
on your head. I'm gonna heal myself. You should do that. That'll
fix it? Does it even do anything? I mean, I already destroyed
my my might pool. There's no point in healing myself. I'll just take
the blood and keep going. Yeah, I think so too. I think
Noel also said it gets harder, so maybe save it for whatever this is
that we're about to go anyway. That's a good one, are you right
now? No I have six mite out of nine? You can still heal
that. Yeah, but we don't want her to do that because it gets
harder every time she heals. Somebody new she should save it for something else.
Also, what is that random voice that I'm hearing right now. It
sounds like whack, what the fuck? Yeah, he didn't have one of
these? Yeah, what off fucking line? Freaking weird? Are you okay
to keep going? I just I don't know if I should get back on
that thing. Can you get on one of ours and we can kind of?
You can you can ride with me? Yeah? Yeah, that might
be better. Maybe, I like, we don't have a car. If
we turn around and talk to the guy and get the cart, don't have
time, I can turn around and go back and get a cart. We
got like two feet yeah, but we two feet ago. Okay, shit,
okay, all right, listen, Okay, it's the giant wings.
These have no actual functionality. They're all cosmetic. However, they look cool,
but you look really cool. They kind of shimmer, It's really true.
Actually they react to when I do spells and stuff, but they just
do not help with flying. Maybe one day we can get If I was
role playing, my character would think you were a god. Maybe maybe I
am in this world? Yeah yeah, maybe maybe like that one episode of
the Orville when she becomes a god. I love that show. Okay,
Okay, here's a plan. You go ask for a cart, and I'm
gonna try and heal this blood off me because if we meet someone, I
don't want to look like I just got in a bar fight. Look.
Look, look, we're not meeting anybody right now. I really don't think
that's a good idea. I want to they can't see us. Yeah,
is it gonna cost me more? Am I gonna have to take away some
of my intellect? I mean there's not a lot of that left and for
real, but I just think we should save it for you know, a
man misunderstood. Well, if I have if I have one edge, doesn't
it take away the cost and I can still cast it? That is correct,
So I can cast it without a cost. So I don't have to
worry about that. Yeah, so I just cast it. You go get
the cart. I'm gonna. I'm gonna healf ficulty, doesn't it the difficult?
I don't care difficulty, whatever you want. Each healing touch role has
a difficulty, and every time you use healing touch on a character successively,
it becomes one more step more difficult for the day, on the same character,
on different characters, same character. Okay, so if I heal different
characters, it's the same it's a low difficulty, but if I heal the
same person over and over, it's more difficult. That is correct, though,
don't fuck up over and over? J What the all? Right?
But you I can't control my ears getting fucking burst? That's true. Okay,
I'll give you that one. But maybe I should just take this hit
and save my healing later for myself, as I might need it as long
as you're fine. Yeah, but I think we got about thirties minutes left
of our Yeah, we should probably get out of here. Let's just get
that car. What do we need the cart for me? Wait, let's
just go. Let's just go. I don't think we have time. Yeah,
I don't have time. Just talk. Yeah, I hop on the
fastest person's mount dog lizard thing. You're gonna jump on someone else's, can't
you just jump on yours? I can lead yours. It seems like Peebe
was doing pretty well with hers. Maybe it's just safer that way, we
don't have to worry about I'm gonna get dirt and two feet I'm getting on
Okay, I'm getting on pep Okay, I'll try to lead hers, grab
her. I'm just knock getting back on that thing right now, I'm not
doing it. No, my er, my lesson. Ready, they're room
for two people on one? Like how big are these creatures? Or should
I yeah, you can probably fit two people on one. Probably sounds like
you shouldn't try. Okay, I guess I'll just what do you want me
to just get online? Try? No, just get on, get on
mine. Mine was very friendly, you know, the liked pets, and
uh, I'll lead yours or something, so we can just focus on this.
All right, all right, all right, I'm on. I'm already
on. I'm already on. I don't know what you're telling me to hop
on. I was on before you. Okay, I'll get on yours then,
yeah, I hop on. Well we can't see the so just to
be clear, huh you CORALI is hopping onto No, I hopped onto hers
and she should be hopping onto hers. Okay, that was like, I'm
done talking about let's just get on. I'm not getting on my own.
He doesn't like me, don't he or she? I don't know. I
don't know what it does not. It does not like me. This dog
cat lizard, I don't know what it is. I forgot, but it
doesn't like me. That's probably why, Okay, and then I'm I'm riding
with her on the back back of the saddle thing. And then difficulty is
two. Yeah, the natural twenty with plus four damage or major effect.
I'm just kidding. So I think what happens is you you get on onto
this thing, and it seems to acknowledge you as you do, so it
sort of puts its head towards the side as it did before when you when
you when you pet this thing, this gallon, and it, uh,
it makes us sort of like different kind of keening noise as you as you
as you get on board, uh, and it kind of it makes it
easier for you to get up on onto on on top of this thing.
And it seems like it's no problem to carry both of you. And it's
pretty fast. This thing like takes off. All of them are very quick.
As Peb's shoulder to where I see the bubbles and then I'm just guy,
I'll just guide him according to where she's pointing. Okay, there,
you make your way through the through the woods, trees like whipping past all
of you. These things are fast. They're about as fast as a horse,
and there's a. You know, there's branches and stuff flying over your
head as you're making your way, and you can see the sphere is getting
closer and closer as you make your way through the woods. As you approach
this area, you can see that the sphere seems to be resting in the
ground somewhere ahead of you, maybe like one hundred feet away in the distance.
What do you do? It's about one hundred feet away in the distance.
Okay, what is it? It's a sphere? A sphere? Okay
have you seen that movie Sphere? I don't know if I want to go
near it? Okay, uh, okay, that's a big bomb to drop
their pocket? Like, is is it mechanical? Is it? You know?
Are freaking? I do? Ellyfish gonna come out of it? What's
happening here? I like to do a perception check if I can please make
an intellect task difficulty four. If you have the perception skill, you can
roll that? Can I? You have rolled a natural nineteen? Ahead of
you through the woods, you can see that there are these three what are
clearly metallic and synth uh triangular shaped panel that are kind of embedded in the
ground. And you can see that there are these circular holes in the ground
as well. All about these panels. The panels clearly just don't fit in
this scenario. There are obvious signs that this is something strange in the ground.
Ah shit, is this a puzzle? Okay, stop, step steps
up? All right. Oh I gotta tell you guys. Oh sorry,
I was like looking that there's like, okay, let me see if I
can. There's three metallic synth triangular shape panels embedded in the ground. Like
these circular holes all around these panels, but they don't really fit. And
it doesn't really it just it looks odd. I think that you the crafters.
Is it a machine? Is it a machine? It looks like a
machine, doesn't it. Whenever I checked it out, I mean I heard
you roll it was a freaking make please make an intellect task check. Okay.
This is in regards to understanding New Minera. Okay, difficulty level four.
Oh oh man, these are getting hard. Oh that is a natural
twenty. I need to say that more often. Wow, look at all
these Look at these three roles here, so the uh these things are definitely
the source of this sound. The they are New min Era. There there
is something about this that is causing the sounds. From what you can tell,
there are circles like holes in the ground around these triangular shapes, these
New min Era. I think, judging based on this situation, you're able
to tell that these circles aren't necessarily part of the new min Era. It's
quite possible that it is some kind of defense. Uh okay, I mean
this is definitely what's causing the sound. Great, but it isn't a machine.
That's what I need to know. Well, it's it's it's newman,
it's part of the new min era. So there's okay. But the circles,
they're like a defense They look like a defense system. They don't look
like they're part of the actual Like someone put a defense system around these pillars.
Dude, you rolled in that twenty. Is it a machine or not?
Dude, I don't. I would have never heard. I never heard
a machine being told. So the word machine was never used. How's that?
No, is it a machine? It's not a machine? Okay,
Yeah, Like I said, the word machine never used, never heard the
word machine. I'm going to assume it's not a machine. It's pillars with
triangles and a bunch of circles. I'm going to assume it's a defense system
and this is some sort of puzzle that's you ever watch tomb Raider, how
you've got to do puzzles and ship or whatever? Played that video game.
I used to balcony and break her neck for fun. This is gonna be
great. I got I got non working wings, I'll be fun, and
I got heels. You know what, next time you have a migraine,
I'm gonna walk closer. I just don't step on any circles. You see
a circle, don't step on it, don't go past it. Just to
be clear, the circles, now that you've gotten a better look, are
kind of like holes in the ground. They're not like an actual circle.
Oh okay, I'm gonna try and like patrol around. I'm just gonna casually
walk around and start to have a running perception check. Okay, I'm gonna
signal myth, myth, come come with me. Let's check a little closer.
What do these holes do as you approach, I swear to God of
goblins or something pop out emerging from the holes. Nope, you see several
spheres whoa from the ground around the New Man era? What did you do?
Got close? You said, those are machines. Holy sho. The
gollen the gollin uh start to move a little bit uncomfortable, and the spheres
begin to move. And what's weird is they actually move in a spherical formation,
moving towards you, uh technom and Ulric. I think you were kind
of moving forward. Yeah, I love that. Yeah, yeah, I
I instantly use distant activation. You can activate or deactivate any machine you can
see with in short range, even if you normally have to touch it or
manually operate the device. I instantly, vanish I recognized these sphericles, death
stars, little death stars. Yeah, I think you recognize a sort of
hostile like intent on these spheres as you can see these red lights powering up
about them. And that's a good place for us to end today. Are
you fucking kidding me? Wax Steven? All right, That's why I was
so insistent on if they were machines or not. Pocket. I wasn't trying
to be a dick, I just machine, So I wasn't going to tell
you it was a machine. I know, I don't know. It just
a blanket term for anything that's not a machine. Just it works somehow.
Yeah. Oh so if you use the term Newmonerra that it automatically kind of
means not machine kind of yeah, kind of Okay, okay, could it
could still be a machine, but unlikely the triangle parts at least not these
little drones thingies. Nice drones or machines for sure. Holy shit. Ah
but how many good session everybody. Gosh, that was intense. I did
warn all of the players and whatnot before we started this campaign that things would
get intense, they would get personal. I was not joking. I was
not joking. Yeah, so good session, everybody. Let's uh, let's
do some shout outs. But first let's give a shout out to our sponsor,
Monte Cook Games. Thank you so much for supporting us. And if
you missed it, we have a giveaway going on PB Did we have a

Doom for the first time, and holy shit, it's amazing. Rip and
tear. Yeah, thank you. I may or may not play it tonight.
Also, I may restart my streams so I can continue playing. That's
a that's a great idea. Play that before bed, good plan. You

not a c K and I've been working on a lot of costplay lately,
streaming games every now and then, but mainly focusing on the cosplay grind because
I have packs and let's go on to look forward to. So Doom is
a great game. It is a great game. This is a lot of
fun. I'm sorry, I didn't know if it was a machine, but
I stood the term Newman Era, honestly, I was like, so,
I was just being in character. I'm using quotes because I'm playing myself.
But one I would be agitated at the state of if I was trapped in
a game, I would be just like, tell me what it is that
I need to do, and do it. So I had no idea.
It was all puzzles and glazed over. So this is a cliffhanger for sure.
I hope. I hope we don't die. Yeah, same, Yeah,
I have a question actually, so since this is the end of one
episode and we're going to be beginning another at the start of this is it
is the healing thing in a reset? Or do I need to rest?
You need to rest? Okay, So we need to rest, guys.
Eventually I need to reset some stuff because if I have to heal more people,
it's hard. So yeah, okay, thank you so much. Pocket

what oh what okay, chat, So I think what happens here as as
all this stuff has been going on. Anybody that had their streams going their
cameras and whatnot showing things going on. There were there were streams that were
showing people's homes and whatnot. You saw maybe some emergency personnel or whatever.
The streams were probably turned off. However, what happens is the streams stayed
live. They were not able to turn off. You saw the cameras in
the people's homes turn off. However, the stream of Simulacrum and the characters
continued. You didn't see any of the reactions after the stream and stuff went
down from the players. All those cameras got turned off. Twitch probably tried
to turn off everything for the players. However, they stayed live. Thank
you for watching Simone Lockram today. This is a weird show and a weird
experience and I hope you enjoy it. Good Night everybody, Nothing seque. Rember
