contested role against the dragon. You all individually are going to roll athletics checks.
Okay, I'm spending my last fortune point, got it? I will
let people draw from the momentum cup before me. That's great because I probably
need it. All right, let me get you take one then, yeah,
that gives me extra dice, right, yeah, yeah, it's a
good ex scift dice. Is anyone else taking the momentum? What's your athletics
twelve for success? I'll take it. Then, I've only got a ten,
got it? I will spend my fortune point. That's a total of
four from me. Mother I'm scared. I'm sorry. I spent the fortune.
Oh my god, three unskilled successes? Unskilled? You like those gold
red unskilled? Yeah? All right. So, first of all, since
I was making my role and checking my stuff, who spent momentum? Well,
momentum or fortune? Momentum or fortune? Yes, I had to draw.
I got five successes? All right? Cole got five successes. I
spent fortune, so I had three six I have three successes. Okay,
Pedro got what I got two unskilled successes courtesy of rolling a third dive via
momentum. Gotcha, an octomer. I got one success I spent one momentum.
Cole has just an absolutely absurd boost of speed, driven on by his
primal fear of his creature, and thanks to that little extra stretch of movement
that you guys got from the camouflage, he is very easily able to make
it to the tree line before that thing covers significant ground. And y'all can
thank Cole for putting one momentum in the pool. Oh okay, I will
do that, bam. Now the mad dash for the rest of you.
It can't be more than thirty seconds to get you to the tree line.
This thing covers about half the ground in that time, and at like name,
at this speed, you can see why boulders have been knocked flying.
The steps are just boom boom boom boom boom boom, just blasting shit out
of its way as it's making it spring. Don't make it to the tree
line, but it is still coming. We gotta keep going. We gotta
keep home until we hear it stop right, calls out in front. Can
he like lays a trail or something. He's out in front right now,
so like whatever the better strategy is, you're all gonna have to follow him
if you want to stick together. So you're following coal. That's good what
it's gotta be, all right. The good news is outside of Coal,
the rest of you are in a relatively tight group. So boom boom boom,
everybody, give me one more athletics check. I want to see how
far you get before this thing hits the edge of the forest. Can I
have the momentum? Please? Did you say survival athletics? Okay, I
use it, Thank you, thank you, thank you. Spending Oh,
technically, remember that we generate more successes because athletic chicks. Yeah yeah,
maybe yeah, I got two goddamn successes from the last one. A Fortunately,
that doesn't change the outcome on anything. It got four successes, so
all of your everyone accepts snively successes got nullified. Yeah, okay, I
have two successes, one in a complication. I have spent a fortune point
okay, so that's five successes from me, I suppose. Ah, so
you're trying to get back out in front so you can try and steer everybody
in the right direction. I'm not gonna lie. I've kind of had a
plan in my back pocket in case this thing was gonna catch us, where
I whip out my bow, try to shoot it in the eye to get
its attention, and then split off from the rest of you guys. Ricardo
does not like that plan. I also really fucking hate that plan. But
like, if it comes right down to it, I feel more confident in
my ability to hide from this thing than I from Like, I don't know
anyone else's ability to hide from it, besides maybe Vega, because you builds
scumbags. Okay, Jordan, tell me I'm wrong, go ahead, Damn.
Silence is definite. I'll tell him that Socks is a bit. Like
I said, I don't really want to use this plan because I don't feel
confident I'll be able to pull it off. But it's the only thing I've
got if like is getting chased by a dragon. The immediate outside I could
thick of to this plan is if your ability to hide. Yeah, if
your ability to hide does not work, yeah, Oh no. There's a
lot of things that could go wrong. But like I said, I really
don't want to use it, but it's my backup plan. I don't think
we're at that point yet, we're in the tree. Well, we're definitely
out at that point. Yet this could go more than one way. And
let's vibe this out. Let's just vibe this out. We rolled the dice,
Let's go. Vibe is a word. Don't tango with the lizard is
really I cannot stress that enough. I don't want to tangle with the wizard.
Target number eighteen and eleven combat dice with vicious two. You don't you
know, I'm a super my friend, my friend, I'm super duper chilling
on that. So all right, so everybody got at least a couple of
successes, right, I have two yep, one in a complication, one
in a complication mine. We're unskilled locally enough. Cole was out in front.
Oh, I'm not going to make you twist your ankle while the dragons
chasing you. Would you like to pay doom for that? Complications slightly?
Throw a couple in the pot that pepperoni soups on the stove, guys,
Yeah, right next to a separate stove with crocodile soup on it. What
about the ear? The eight milkshake is also on the stove, because that's
how eight milkshakes work. I couldn't be more pleased thinking about warm milkshake is
like warm ape milkshake twice cooked. You have no one but socks to thank
for that, So how is it not cheese? At that point? Then
it is yuck. This is the quality, wholesome content you've come to.
No one love from the Broken Lords podcast. Everybody. We love our fans,
all three of them, just three favorite fans. So how does this
play out? My friends? All right? So I'm gonna ask for one
more die roll as coal falls back in October rips out in front otomer,
would you like to roll Survival plus? What direction do you want to go
in? What direction I want to go in? Or should I say,
what direction are you gonna try and herd the party in? Yeah, that's
the h part of me wants to say, we keep going northwest because at
least if we hit the wall east. Yeah, yeah, at least if
we hit the wall, that's what less direction we gotta look for stragglers in.
I think that's fair. All right. We speculated we were on the
eastern end of its territory, so we did. Yeah, all right,
just survival. I'm gonna spend our last momentum, go for it. We
kind of blew all of our stuff trying to fucking duck this out to success.
A very nice two successes, is you? I imagine you were lowering
the difficulty. Yeah, it would reduce the difficulty by one step. I'm
going to have that wash with the difficulty of navigating while running. So it
was a flat two and you succeed. Hell yeah. You keep plunging ahead
north easterly and periodically behind you as you run, you will hear the roar
again, and it sort of helps to spur you longer. But once you've
been like running full tilt for like a couple minutes, all your muscles are
burning, pouring sweat, you're doing your best in suddenly lower light levels because
you're outside of the moonlight to not like clothesline yourselves or break your ankles.
The third time you hear the but this time it's it's muted, and it's
falling even farther behind four
