All right, welcome back everyone to another edition of the Broken Lords podcast.
Today we're going to continue following the exploits of the swamp heroes. I don't
feel like the hero. We have a real sword. We're heroes. Now,
that's that's the definition of heroes. You have a real sword. No,
this is a this is a collective. This is let you have it.
You can be her hero. I don't feel like a hero, right,
you're a Ricardo's hero, phedro. Let's be real here. Oh god,
the level of confidence instilled in him by that sword. And then he
looks at the water and a chill runs down the back of his fucking neck
regardless. All right, So when we last left off, you guys had
found the eponymous sword that Jordan is popping off about, and you're stuck on
an island surrounded by murky, green, scum covered water, beneath which lies
a vast and horrific catfish. Now, we were speculating that there might be
enough shrubbery and drift wood or whatever around here that we can try and fashion
a raft together. Sure, you can make the attempt. There's no reason,
no reason why not? Is that a survival to gathered the materials,
like, what do you are we looking to do crafts? What are we
looking? Yeah? Yeah, we'll start off with some survival checks to see
how much material you folks can come up with. Okay, all right,
is that the whole class down? Hitlas? I really gotta like get more
concoctions ingredients going to be only so much on this particular island, but we
can island hop to try and you know, get more. Let's get let's
get a way out of here first, all right, so I'll thrown out
of survival. The difficulty for this will be too because the island is small.
Anyone's else survival higher than nine? I think? Yeah, yeah,
it's gonna say. I think I think the entire bag is survival. So
can I like give a helping die to Octomer? Sure? Roll extra die,
buddy. Is anybody else helping October as well? I'll help. Is
it just gonna be a cooperative effort? Yeah? Okay, So go ahead
and roll five dice then Octomer. Okay, that seems pretty pretty good.
I'm gonna do that thing that I usually forget to do and subtract one momentum
from from that with adding Cory. That's what I wanted to do and that's
not what you wanted to do. So five is the maximum? Right?
Five is the maximum? Yes? Okay, well there goes nothing. Hey,
it's five successes. Let's go, bab oh, let's go damn,
eleven, twelve, sixteen, and sixteen. Damn you really fucking you hate
to see it now? All right? I know that we have three momentum.
Off of that, what can we juice it on it? You could
spend some of that momentum to have the process go faster. That would be
cost of one depends on how much time you want to spend on the island.
Now you you guys have a few days rations right, Yes, so
I think we spent one of those. So I would say, if you
spend one momentum to make it go faster, you'll be able to gather enough
materials early in the day that you will have time. Basically, you'll find
more abundant materials and you'll have time to begin working on the raft right away.
I'm cool with that. If y'all cool with that, it's ultimately up
to you. October. I would also say Thatthedra and Cole could each spend
a momentum to get some of the materials that are specifically useful to them.
Oh please, since you're outcombing the island anyway, all right, let's uh,
let's so that would be what three momentum spend for all of that,
which generated three, which is the momentum that was generated. Yeah, I'm
cool that we saw three in the bank. I look with that, all
right, Well, technically I think we might actually have more. We had
four. Corey took one away because new scene. So we have three and
we generated three. We're not in the forest. Oh yeah, yeah,
no you're not. You're not in the forest. No, I know what
you're talking about. Yeah, I was just reading my skills. Always a
good policy. So you guys are able to get together some decent size driftwood
and enough like smallish trees that are growing on the island to make a mat
that might float if lashed together, although it might not float particularly well.
As luck would have it, Cole was able to find some minerals and harvest
some SAPs that he can use as a binding agent between the wood to make
the quote unquote vessel float better and be more sturdy. While he's at it,
bearing a successful alchemy test, which would be a difficulty zero. So
I'm assuming he's going to pull it off. I have been shot a side.
Please please, I'm going to spend one fortune pointing O my god,
spending a fortune point on a D zero is the most bitch made move in
history. Anyways, you lookily Colvid not get a convocation of that. Well,
I'll live that. I'll chalk that up though. Okay, Drew was
able to gather some useful herbs that she might be able to turn into concoctions
and whatnot. Did we want to quantify that that did also generate two more
momentum? You actually spent a fortune point of that mole Lamal, I thought
that was a joke. I guess all right. I also thought that was
a joke. That's because it was a joke. He might have been serious,
but that doesn't mean it wasn't a joke. Sometimes you gotta put a
bitch down. We live here. This is our life in our life in
the swamp. That's another good episode title right there, our life in the
swamp. Anyways, how many ingredients can I add to my belonging scory?
You get one combat die and you can spend additional momentum like those two that
Snidely just generated. That gets to get more. Okay, it would be
plus one per momentum, so you have five to work with. Then let's
roll and just see what happens. That button did nothing. Let's roll and
actually see where damn. Thanks, you hate to see it. Two you
got two? Congratulations, you're a one in six chance and you pulled it
off. Yay? Then can I take two more? Is everyone good?
Sure? That'll erase Snidely's shame. Now his shame will never disappear. That
is true. He knows that we all know it. And can I roll
for finding my ingredients? No? Because yours I just gave you. Oh
okay, your said character where you mean into glue? Yeah, glue is
character waterproof, waterproof glue. It's or water resistant glue at least swamp resistant
glue even better. It's like one of those infomercial products like what's that black
stuff that they just slap on everything to fix holes? Flex seal Yeah tape,
Yes, all of you coal got flex seal tape. That's what he's
got. Well, we can make the whole boat out of that ship.
It's true, apparently we can. That's a lot of damage. That's a
lot of damage. Oh Jesus Christ, where are we at here? He
said, revving a chainsaw menacingly having just stabbed something with the chains Hey,
Ricardo, Yeah, could you, perhaps, for no reason at all,
give me a resistance check? Please? Sure, I'd love to do that.
I'm gonna spend a momentum in doing something, So I'm gonna call this
a difficulty too for reasons Why would you want to do this? That doesn't
make any sense. Well, because the alternative is automatic failure. Yeah,
I'm chilling with that anyway. I'm I wouldn't want to want a coward,
and I'm alt spending a fortune point because I'm a scared baby boy. H
welcome to the shame club. Yeah, don't matter, don't matter, I
don't spending a fortune point. A difficulty too is not the shame club.
Okay, So I have look at that four or five five successes, look
at that one wound one treated? Remember phrase that? Is there a momentum
soak or momentum thing I can spend on the this or should I put that
all in the pool? Man? Oh? Yeah, now there's no momentum
spend for this? What a healthy young man? You are. Yes,
I'm super add Yes, I am spend for fending up bubonic plague. I
was supposed to realize that. Wait a minute, I've been in the water
for a long time, underneath the water. The bigger problem was that you
were sliced open under the water. That's true. That's also an issue direct
bloodstream contact with certain things. I no longer feel bad about spending the fortune
point for Hey, you're a fighter. Just challenge the viruses to a fist
fight. Yeah, no, no, I got you. Bacteria fucking easy.
So it's so easy to fight them. Now that you have a metal
sword, you are immune to bacteria anyway. Just fucking stabbed the bacteria,
bro. So yeah, I got you. I got you. I'm the
best at surviving in wetlands. Ask me how it's the score of neo sport,
all right, glad to see we are incredibly unfocused today, so we
need a crafting check to craft the raft raft craft craft craft parentheses, c
raft. I'm glad you're as bad as us today, Corey and really actually
seven Yeah. I can definitely help out in a crafting check, though I
probably shouldn't be the guy to do it. It's mine's at ten, I'll
do it. Mind's at eleven, so I'll help too. I have any
crafts kill it's under intelligence. Oh hey, I have two smart boy,
right because I make tea duh. Yeah, it's literally because you're an herbalist.
Yeah, you guys are all crafty. I'm proud of you all.
Yeah, it's probably this long. We are the craftiest critters in the shame
chalet. Okay, I wanted to do the same thing where we all spirit
bomb socks. I'm cool with that. Sure, how do we craft a
spirit bomb de one? Enlist the help of a black hearted sorcerer? Oh
no, I don't think he's gonna help us spoiler alert. So yeah,
it socks. You want to you want to roll five dice on craft?
Sure, I'd spend fortune, but like, why would I? Right would
fail on five dice? Shut the fuck up? Stop that difficulty is to
stop doing that five I fail? Of course you Would's right there, buddy,
two successes. And are you see that you are like the god of
complications? You've rolled Lord twitties in Conan that I've ever seen you roll at
