Hello everyone, and welcome you Forbidden Lands. We started the show off like
we always do, which is I don't know what's happening, and yeah,
here we are Monday, because I do know what's actually happening, and it's
the show and we have two left, including today. You're making it.
I've made it here. Yeah, just just cana see some POGs and show
no reason whatsoever. Got someone fa another famous person on the show. It's
just weird being outshined by so many people. Ambassadors, hog champs, multiple
to get the published voice. Actresses don't have a really bad stomache sitting on
a toilet. Yeah, was that where you took the picture? It was
like, I'm not going to make I had there the BDET hits for the
first time. That was the face when they hit the first time in Korea
Japan. That's yeah, that pressure is like did they really? Yes?
I thought it fell off because I had to look at a new Yes,
it is just like worse. Yeah, no, it's it's a shocker.
One of those the brand actually it is the brand of it soccer days.
A look at regular toilet and the latch comes out when ready. So it
tricked me. So I didn't know. I knew the seats were heated.
I know the water was heated. Also, I was just gonna say that,
Pogchamp, if you look at it like from the like your peripheral,
it actually, because I have my chat on the peripheral kind of looks like
you're like fist bumping the screen, which kind of makes it even cooler.
Yeah, just double cool, double cool, anyway, double plus cool.
Well, Hi everyone, Happy Monday. It's good to be here. I'm
glad you're all here. We've got Milly back at the very beginning of an
episode now, which is very exciting and nostalgic of the very beginning of the
show. So h it's good to have you back, Millie. And yeah,
we'll start with you. We've been doing questions now to to get your
brain a moving, so uh, you know, I'm gonna I'm gonna ask,
like as I asking weird questions, Millie, who are you? Whose
character you played? Just that real quick? And then who is the last
person? And I know this is a while we have to think back for
this, who's the last person you fist bumped? Oh gosh, multiple questions
at once. My brain is explaining I am a really tyler and will be
playing forca for you today. And oh yeah, the last person I fist
bumped was was Joey Britten. Because we've been playing a lot of ping pong
recently and it's it's not competitive at all, but we do celebrate stupid shots.
Just gonna take a quick cut to the basement and there's pong balls embedded
in the wall. Yeah, this was our game. No, it's not
a game wonderful, Okay, thank you, Milly, And uh, you
know what, maybe we'll go to the twenty four hour amazing face of a
pog Champ next. I think we could do that. That would be that'd
be a good idea. I think look at and Twitch ambassador as well as
well. Yes, collecting right now, staying shortinaire like it's just a many
talents tech, I'm boring. Actually, I just like play for compliments today.
I can't take it. I started this, I started this, blessing.
I don't anymore. Thank you for being here. I'm technique. I
plays I And it's said to say anxiety will only be around for what two
more this episode in the next three, but you who always live in your
hearts. In twenty four hours on Podchamp for you. There you go without
the hair st talk to me technique and on Twitter that technique TV. That's
about it. I love being here and hopefully we get picked up on another
show soon. No pressure TB thankfully. All right, man, it's so
good that they can have literally everyone in the next show, all thirty five
people that have been sitting in the waiting room. I love that. Yeah,
the next show can be called Found and as you found all of us,
there you go. I was just gonna say, like that would be
cool to actually have one with all like thirty five people, just like like
a guest star I talk about I think. So I have mute power on
uh on clean feet. I've just muted everyone, just so Chad knows.
I need to state categorically the thirty five people on a show will actually kill
me. So we're not going to do that. Thank you. We're turning
to regular broadcasting now. Hi. I'm pretty sure he muted me as well,
which is even more fun because I was in full agreement with him there.
But you know, maybe maybe the next person that should do would be
good to be whack actually whack Hi, everybody, I'm wax Stephen normally the
GM of Doom, but on this show I am one of the many players
of Doom that can drive a person to complete in total insanity. Sorry Dan,
and I play Nikel, the stoic Seeker for then Aura and the last
my fist bump somebody was probably my cousin who christmases Ago COVID's been a long
time. Yeah, yeah, I say, I don't know if you said
what you used last fist bump tech. I think it was El Smith at
convention, honestly, because that's how we just go up there and do that.
So yeah, she was like, hey, dude, it's good to
see you. Cool, and that was it. So it was really solid
impression, honestly, thats exactly what she would say. She's She's amazing.
Man. She always makes me smile. I can't. I try not to
smile so much around her, but she she does the elephant noise and is
over. I'm just done. Imagine you trying not to smile. It's just
man, you really you really got to keep that that that masculine bruh.
Yeah, clearly I'm just a lot happier now, so I can't help you,
know it. Well, Thank you Tech for that, and thank you
Whack as well. Cat. We both give most time on shows together.
I'm Cat, I play Manassa, your favorite Luke Goblin. Uh, I
fist bumped my dog. I'm gonna need video evidence of this. Grab her
real quick and make sure we see that Bloody is trying so hard to be
so well. I could just see it. I'm perfectly composed. I'm trying.
I'm trying like this whole entire time during COVID, I've been trying to
train her and the only thing she responds to is bacon. She's your dog,
like, no one is surprised. Well, like, I'll put my
fist and I'll be like boom and she'll go with her pap Oh, if
you meet bacon first, you know she needs the bacon first. She's the
deposit. What are you doing? Okay, I'll get I'll get a video
of her doing it, But never do you see the bacon meet in front
of me, and she's still staring at it right now. I believe it.
Dan, Can I just say something. You need a show where you
invite all of us and you just ask questions like this, like when is
the last time you did this? Thing. When is the last time you
did that thing? And that it goes from there, you know. But
I just needed a whole show with who that you make that you send us
exercises? All right, Well we know where text motivations are, all right,
I'll consider it. I like asking questions to throw people off their guard
regularly, so that that's that's good. Okay, I'll tuck that away for
a future show. Bloody, thank you every one of the first guests,
thank you. Yeah, okay, yeah, that seems thank you. Hey,
Hi, I'm feeling I'll be playing alkalive for you today. And uh.
The last person I first spilt I think was my brother, like brother
three months ago. What was the occasion? I was like, hey,
bro, I was picking up mail. A special occasion. Just hey,
bro, to be honest right now, like any occasion with human contact is
a special occasion, right, yeah, yeah, I know the person they
do exist. You don't work for Amazon. This is a mirtory, right.
Well, let's move forward with Bloody. Uh. Hello, Hi,
I am Bloody Faster and I play MK on this show. And I'm really
really sad that I only have two more chances today and next week to elbow
drop things. You know, it's been too soon, too soon, too
soon, too soon for this twin. But anyways, last person I fist
bumped was probably Lobos. We went on an Overwatch bench at some point a
few weeks ago for I don't know what reason. And you know, good
plays, bro, right, that's what bros do. Yeah, that's what
you do. Your your life partner is just bro And look, yes,
my partner the same pretty much. So I don't know if I'm doing my
relations really wrong or really right. All right, cool, I can't yes,
totally about to Adam wants her to be like this pump, so yep,
perfect, thank you pleading, and I'm domestic Dan, your GM of
consequences. The consequence today clearly was I'm going to ask a question that parkins
us back either really recently with our partners or years ago, And for me,
it's a year ago. It would have been at Cees at one of
the lodging people i'd met, very likely, because you know, we were
it wasn't the well, it was the pandemic at the time. We just
didn't know it, but we were still it was you know, multi hundred
thousand conventions, so it was like, hey, let's not shake hands because
health and then I got the flu anyway, so you know it was great,
It was perfect. But I think that's perfect, and it's time right
back in the Last Time and Forbidden Lands. Our party, having dealt with
and recovered from the Fireclaw, had some choices to make Hades, the AI
built for the defense of humanity. While Sentient itself couldn't really deal with or
handle the fact that it wasn't needed anymore. Alkali did her absolute best to
work with and try to convince Ares that maybe if there was proof, it
wouldn't ever need to turn on the death Bringer production facility again. Unfortunately,
when presented with that truth, it found its purpose meaningless and removed itself.
But of all of that, an old familiar face showed back up in pursuit
of them. After going ons in Fall City, Fayuka returned and a new
friend was found, one named Nevin. This very basic AI that was able
to be transferred over to a PDA and brought along with them after some very
very successful rolling or convincing by Alkali and Fayuka, and they were able to
bring Nevin with them onto the rail that they were finally able to get a
much needed rest after so very long traveling west and north to what seems like
their final destination, this old one's city called Seattle, with Nikel looking out
as they finally exit the rail tunnel, seeing a wide mountain range, everything
covered in snow, and then looking at a new dawn, a new day.
We joined the party as most of them sleep, but with Nikel looking
out as the snow flies past them and what seems like a blizzard, and
Nevin being just introduced to the concept of snow. Yes, Nevin, this
is snow. As an input. Do you know where we are? From
data given from designation Alkali, it seems we are roughly one hour away from
your destination. We must cross through the mountains up ahead. When you say
through the mountains, is there some passage, yes, data indicates snow baloney
pass Is it safe? Unknown? I look down at the others, Yeah,
yeah, I think. I walk over to probably to Zayari. Yeah,
they're all passed out, pretty cold. I nudge him, zay Ah
Danger. We're all right, Uh hm, what what's this? What's going
on? Well? I let everyone sleep for some time. Everyone seemed to
need it. Okay, uh need to scout to it. What do you
need to do? Well? I thought you might want to take a look.
Mhm oh, frozen water, snow, snow. Yes, yes,
I've I've I I rarely seem I heard designation snow. Even Nevin knows the
snow as well. Fast learning. Yes, I was telling Nevin about the
snow. I asked if never knew where we were, and Nevin said that
we were going to be coming through some sort of passage through the mountains within
the hour. We should wake everyone and be careful through the mountains, like
we're going through a mountain. How is this possible? There is a tunnel,
I believe passage. Okay, so I'm still trying to come to myself.
I thought we were actually going to go crash into a Mouthay, all
right, come dow anxiety. We have snow, Nevin, I know,
what is that on your face? There? Happy lines rung your cheeks.
Have you been smiling? Yeah? The snow is more familiar, I would
say, Norah, snow is your elements. Oh, it remind me of
home. Maybe this is home. Home is where the element is. Nikair,
welcome home and he like gently punches him in the arm, and you
know, you are not the only one seeing this. Your mother, she
is part of all of these you make up proud and she brings you snow.
Maybe you're right. I know I am right? When am I wrong?
No answer, live in the moment. Nevin yes, Zaidi perfect,
Zaidi is never wrong, And I like Nevin sound text my defaults. I
spoke too soon. It'll grow on me one day, hopefully. Hmm.
Let's not tell the others about that at all. We're still working out the
bugs. So what if this place is safe, why is it? Why
why don't others come out here? Because the travel in between is You asked
that knowing what we've been through. Yeah, but I also know how desperate
people get, and they are just trying to live a life without war.
But you know, maybe maybe the lesson is is that the machines aren't the
enemy. It is each other. I was thinking back. If the old
ones were so perfect, and if everything was working so well, then where
did this war come from. It wasn't just a machine that landed and infected
everything. Maybe we can start over, Nicare, build a new inform,
others build, build some kind of safe passage. We don't have to stop
here. We can we can make this that we're on work for us now
that we have Nevin, we do not know the possibilities. We bring people
from the old to the new h and then you fulfill your shoes as leader.
Got a nice run into it. And to put the pressure off for
you, not only you, but we are our leaders. I think that
was the point that I was missing from the beginning. Even the old man
like me can grow. It just kind of looks at everybody. We can
build a town. Maybe, hopefully it's good to dream. I dreamed of
a splendid area was white erased and everything is growing vibrantly after the snow melts.
Maybe we can have green and beautifulness and build a town. You know,
Ink can be over the food. She can make food and weapons.
Now that's a bad idea. Maybe she would use weapons on food. Okoli
can be like a diver and then educate people on all the old artifacts.
You can train me and you can train. You can train warriors. I
can train scouts and zion Man. Sorry, I lost myself. That's all
right, Frank, Yeah no, even if we don't see it in our
lifetime, Michael, it'll be good to at least hear about it. This
is a good dream mm hmm. And I think with everyone here we could
make it possible. Hm. Yeah, this group can make anything happen.
It might be time to wake the others so they can see this too.
Mm hmm. I'm going to uh walk over to Alkali Alkali mm hmm.
But oh it's so right, whoa uh I let everyone sleep for some time?
Oh right, right, good morning. Are you tired? Do you
need to do you need a rest? I can? I can take a
watch. I could use a little rest. Okay, yeah, mm hmm.
You should have a look. Yeah, wow, it's really coming down.
Huh. Evan says we have a little less than an hour before we
make our way through the mountain. Oh awesome. Uh wait threw the mountain.
There's probably a tough all right. Evin said that there was a passage.
I think we all had the same worry, all right. I just
had visions of anyway, Okay, uh, get some rest. I guess
we should let the let everybody else sleep too, still, or we can
wake them. I probably really want to see the splendor. Yeah. The
last time I saw snow was when I went up north and I actually met
Yuka. Oh yeah, m before you wake everyone, let me nots a
sleep yeah mmm. And possibly for Yoka, she probably needs extra rest anyway.
Oh snow, I don't give a crap about thatsh Yeah. Probably all
right, get some sleep, Nickel, I'll go week MK, all right,
wake me if there's any trouble, okay, h yeah. Yeah,
long journey. Yeah, it feels like it was a blink of an eye,
but boy, my body tells me it was a lot longer than that.
Yeah. I think we're probably gonna need to I don't know, see
some sort of medical professionals at some point. You do that that we've grown
harder. Yeah, I was speaking with Nikel that maybe we can make this
walk. Maybe something on the side is greeting us not with danger but pleasure,
an open landscape of some sort. Maybe we can build, Maybe we
can bring people on trans transport. Well, we would have to find a
way to fix the first one, because we kind of destroyed it, didn't
we. Yeah, maybe there's more others. You know, this connects to
something, I would hope, unless it stops the track and we end up
in the air. But I mean, we could also study this one since
it's a little bit heartier, and see if there are any intricacies that are
I guess similar to the previous transport that we took, and see if maybe
that's a way for us to solve anything. But m h, I mean,
who knows. We gotta take a look firsty. It's hard to believe
that this is the only one oh the facilities, so saying that is also
scary to think that there's other facilities. But maybe we can make Nevin kind
of a supermined at the end of this and control everything show like that.
I think that'd be good. Start fresh, don't make the same mistakes as
the old ones in turn some someone like Nevin into just a product of war,
you know. And unfortunately we are the monsters. We are the machines.
Machines that are innocent ones. They go about their day day and day
out patrols what they were programmed to do. But we break away from the
norm. I guess the old ones put themselves in that situation. Huh mm,
yeah, yeah, maybe that's how it's all written. Maybe it's start
here. Have some good. He presented with a bad. Without peace,
there's no chaos, So without chaos, there's no peace. I can forth.
I don't know, Hey, Zary, I just wanted to say I'm
sorry, what God did? Nothing, that's not true. I hear you
are alive. That's not true. I mean this entire time, a few
can had points. This is what I'm trying to say, And this entire
time, instead of having productive conversation, I rammed my ideologies down your throat,
down everyone's throats, and I'm sorry. Well, I would accept your
apology only because you are sorry. But I've always told you and hopefully taught
you, that when you make a decision, you stand by it no matter
what I do, and you did so. I believe learning lessons with accepting
in the consequences is a odder thing to do than to say sorry. Yeah,
and it's up to us to accept it or not. Those in this
room that don't accept it will accept it anyway. Yeah, built very much
the same, And if we didn't, we would not be here. I
would not be here. I guess stubbornness can be good in some ways.
Mm hmm. Absolutely kept us alive barely. Okay, that's alive, Thank
you, Thank you are coming. In my life, I had nobody,
nothing, There was a grumpy person, sitting up in a watchtower picking off
any and everything that looked like a threat. Yeah, and you tried to
stab the first person you met. Jeez as well. I mean, we
live in a world where sometimes the first thing you see wants to kill you,
eat you. That was a lesson. Yeah, mm hmmm, let's
get MK. Yeah, if we make it out of here, wherever we're
going, I'll show you how to properly use a sword. Thank you.
Hm. I would get up and walk over to m K. Okay,
yeah, hey MK, and I would be like lightly touching her shoulder.
M hm. Do you want to get up and hang out with us and
see something cool? Yeah? Have you ever will not know what to say?
What this is? Have you ever seen snow before? M K?
Huh? What? It's beautiful? You like it? It looks tasty.
You might be able to eat it. Don't tease her. It's food.
Well, it's crackfast. I mean I guess it's not. It's not very
filling. It's flower all the way all us there? Okay, what is
it? Look for yourself? A look? Wow? What I can eat
this? I mean you can eat anything, right, I guess. But
what is it you've heard stories of up north weather nor are right? Like
they train in intense weather, the cold, and it's freezing water and free
just snow is what they call. It's water? Yes, sorry, that
frozen what a really really cold water? It turns into a solid. Well
you know what, I'm disappointed it's not food, but it still looks really
pretty. Wow. Is this where we go in? Are we here?
Is this it? We go into a mountain fast, but apparently after that
will be there. We have about an hour I think, right? Is
that what Nakel said? Yeah? How about that hour? Nevan? Yes,
Alkali, good morning morning, he said, good morning. M hm
uh Nevin? How about how long do we have until our destination? Destination
approximately minutes away? Train train? Yes, to train? Where are we
going to train? I think what Nevin was trying to say is that this
is a train already we trained? What that's what the old ones called it?
Nevin, this transportation unit is desated train. Any Why was it called
a train not a moving device? Or m hmm? What was were so
weird? He just taught us something. Isn't that cool? There we go
train? Train train mm hmmm, I think of a metal monster. You
are welcome m hm hm hmmm. So forty five minutes. Huh, yeah,
I am. I kind of want to wake the others so that they
can see. But at the same time, I'm a, well, they're
gonna wake up now. They said, yeah, we know, yeah definitely.
Then to sew Nickel and needs the rest. He's been up the whole
time. Okay. For Yuca probably needs to sleep, sleep a little more,
and Manassa, we want to keep sleep until we get there. Why
because she's very tired. But you missed this. No, let's let's wake
her up. I'll wake up Nassa. One of you should probably wake up
Fiuca. I'll let him Kre do it. She's in way better standing with
you right now than me. So oh okay, yes, okay, okay,
okay, Manassa, Yes, oh you're rup. I've been good morning,
Good morning. Thank you for almost waking me up. Ziary. Listen,
I didn't know if you wanted to rest more. You've you've been doing
a lot of stuff. You had something blow up on you, you have
somebody punch in the boob, I mean, you know who know, I
know it's rough. Thank you for being so considerate. Of course, I'm
always considerate of you. Mka, Hello, good morning, Hi, good
morning. Hi. Did you see this? Snow? The snow? Him?
Gay? You can? You can wake up without with you should probably
do it gently instead of continuing screaming. Think that her hearing is that good
to find? If it is? Yes, old crawling up? Do you
lady? This had better be important. I am you. I don't know.
I just know that they were bickering about whether to wake you up or
not. So I figured that I just wake you up. You can deal
with that. I was going to do it. Apparently there was something wrong
with waking you up or something. I don't know. I should have a
little conversation at some point about tone and voice. Hm. I was telling
them it isn't a justification for me feeding you this stick mm hmmm mmm.
Yes what stuff outside? White stuff, pretty fluffy. You should watch you
hit your head. I told him not to, that you've seen this before
your times. Actually they said that you were too old. No, you
probably need your rest. Yeah, whatever excuse means I get more asleep.
I do not care what it is you telling me you've never seen SnO NASA
depending on how sheltered. Probably not him. I hadn't. She's been pretty
sheltered. It's going to be fun. Mm hmm. What does that mean?
What are you going to do to me? We can't wait for you
to eat it. That's what I know what it is, manassa. You
can't trick me anymore. Okay, I know they told me. It's just
water. Just water, yes, and food and sustenans and a habitat and
all sorts of different things. This, you know, yes, also a
weapon if you use it right. I want to know how to use this
as a weapon. I did you. I'm staying out of that conversation.
Mm hmmm. Can we fight with it? Can we? If it's made
as a weapon, maybe we can put a lot of it in one area,
dunk the person in it melted and then drowned him. I thought you've
seen what. There's water all right, frozen, I mean heated up.
It becomes water enough it'll stop the moving permanently. Why are we drowning people?
I don't know, we're notically that's a good point. Mm hmm.
Interesting suffocation mm hmm. How old is that? To the touch very it
depends. They want to wrap up, especially the fingers to the first to
go how fingers toes? I don't care use the what's this trouble I had?
As I had a man who refused to wear gloves while carrying the cart.
They froze off a lot of purple. They go red, and then
they go and then they go black, and then they've got some fun shaped
new hand. Wait, wait a second, the snow does all this?
He couldn't. He couldn't a bit bites. He couldn't carry the cart anymore.
So he's pretty much was out of job. Actually, now that I
think about it, I had to fire him. This used to what He
wasn't useful with his hands, he couldn't carry the cart. I sent him
back to Meridian. I don't know he might be he might be making pottery
with his feet or something. I don't know. Did he make it by
himself? With you know? Of course that's good at least. So what
have we learned today? Kitties stay inside, respects your environment. It can
be your best friend or your worst enemy. Also, don't get hired by
Manassa. She would be a pretty terrible boss. If you do not have
a purpose for a job I need done, there's no reason for you to
work with me. I hate to see what you do to your lover.
I don't have time to love because love does not have time for you.
My love is anything shiny. No, no, m Well, we have
about I believe at thirty minutes or so before we line. How long has
it been, dark eye? Do you need to read your robot machine baby
Nevin as a name? I know it's Nevin, But how long have we
been on this train? Nephidden? Where's Nevin? It might be tired?
Maybe maybe maybe we asked them too many questions. Oh, all your settings
were on the fault. Oh, approximately four and a half hours? Wow,
all right, what what that was? How long we've been going?
But it took us that far in four and a half hours? How far?
Well, I would pull out the PDA with the map on it and
I'd show them about about that far. It's pretty damn far. Wow mm
hm. As much as I'm happy to be going and this trip has been
nice and smooth, we are not known for nice and smooth. I wonder
what is on the other side. Which do we even know what we're doing?
Alcalai like, why we're searching for the facility. I guess that has
the distress signal if it even is a facility. Remember that. Uh?
That that that lady doctor Cross on the audio log that we heard, right,
she mentioned the Faro plague. Uh. And then she mentioned Sasha,
who probably is dead at this point. But she also mentioned Seattle. And
I think that's where we're going, Vina. We're going to Seattle. Our
destination is downtown Seattle. The front line, the front line, That's that's
what they used to use. Okay, So remember the facility we were just
in with Aries. It was used to create those death bringers and then load
them onto these trains in order to transport the death Bringers and whatever other creatures
they made to the front line of whatever war they were fighting. Oh that
means that there might be death Bringers waiting for us. Oh. I didn't
think about that, activated ones too. Maybe Nevan can override. He is
a part of ariesnique. Right now, I think you soft Suddenness should probably
concentrate a little more on wrapping up warm. It seems definite, we know
right now. So I'm gonna take my knife and start cutting the fabric off
the seats. Yeah, it's pretty thin fabric. Admittedly, it's not like
the nice thick memory foam that you dealt with before. But it's don't go
to my bag, pull out the rest of the leather I have. You
can model them after these if you want, you know, I'd pull off
my gloves and hand them to them. Oh okay, mmm, if it's
called your straight leather may not be good enough. Me need something? Uh
check? Is there any foam in these seats at all? Not really think
like really public transportation kind of padding. There should be some kind padding in
it, though, right there is. It's just not much. It's not
foam. It's more just kind of fabric padding than anything else. I think
I might be able to do something. I say, for Yucas cutting that
up doesn't look too thick. But as long as it's fabric and we can
probably insulate the leather, you can use the bedroll if you really need it.
No, No, your comfort, it's just fine comfort. You're expecting
any level of comfort out there, I do not know. It's very very,
very cold. I think you should take up the offer that few because
giving you comfortable as you want as long as you're alive. This is true.
I take a little bit off the base of the mountain range begins to
all away track up along the side of the mountains. Up above, you
can see what looks like a pass through the mountains where the track goes.
Wow, clouds hang fairly low. You can't quite see the top of the
mountains now that they're in them. I think I'm starting to feel what you
were talking about. It just gets colder a little bit. Wrap up nice
and warm. You don't want to any their skin getting in touch with that,
And I rip parts of this this sheeted fabric up to give them something
to wrap around their faces and noses, almost like a like a bandana worn
around the front. No, the train continues to climb and chug higher and
higher. It goes to the point where you lose visibility in the clouds.
That is not a good climate for my head right now. It's so cold.
We see the party making some sort of pandana masks, bundling up as
best they can as the cab of this train, as they've now learned,
does indeed begin to drop in temperature ever so slightly noticeable, and you emerge
from the clouds, mountains breaking away on each side of you. You see
often the distance as you reach this peak snow so lighter and on blackened soil.
Skyscrapers beat up bent in the distance. Looks kind of like a wasteland.
I made something for Nicel just in case. Yeah, have you sold
on to this? All right? I need it. I'll give him a
little poke with my stick. Wake up, lad, it's much colder.
When have I been asleep? Not too long enough? Yeah, put this
on. I'm gonna get chilly. I'm used to the cold. M h,
it's your fingers and toes. Mountains seemed to stretch a bit as you
are mostly going kind of it as a diagonal almost, so you can still
see over as you're at the top of the mountains. Now it looks like
it dips down into the mountains a bit before going forward. You don't see
tracks, but it's possible it's covered bite Snow, what are you all doing?
S out of bundling. I'm just preparing and getting everything together that I
can. I don't find anything else to make more clothing for everybody. I'm
checking my weapons, making sure that I have arrows and things ready. Could
we take an action right now, like actually craft something? Yeah? What
are you doing? Because I would love to make some explosive ammal some some
sort for Fuca tua if you've forgotten. They crafted that mall so it can
hold containers and be enhanced. But you don't actually need to craft anything for
that. You built it so you can just the cylinders that you find fantastic
one exactly. So as long as you have canisters of material, you have
quote AMMO for it, though it will consume it one to one. Thank
you. How is everybody feeling? You were? You were sick? Elie?
Are you over it? Who was sick? She doesn't even remember puking
all over that? Please? Oh god? I have puked many times throughout
this journey. Is that even surprising anymore? Yes? But if you do
it now, you're losing valuable food, You're losing body heat, and if
you fall behind in this, it will claim you. So are you all
right? I have a thick layer of fat protecting me, and I'll make
sure we eat before we go anyway, of course, we have to eat
before we go. Dan, Can I take a further look at that small
vial? It said speed burst on it, but I kind of wanted to
take a look to see if I could figure out a little bit more about
it. This time absolutely can go ahead and give me artifact knowledge difficulty five
fourteen mm hmmm, so that was specifically speed boost correct. Yes. Upon
using this, you'll know mechanically it will add. Let me see real quickly
when I got you say what level that was. I don't believe you gave
me a level. I just have it as one right now. Ah,
that's perfect. Okay. It gives you one or whoever takes it speed edge
for an hour. Thank you. Mm hm Miquel, what were you doing?
I may have missed that. Yes, I am getting my weapons and
arrows ready, okay. Cool. Figured i'd check anyone else who didn't know
what they were doing. While you're going through the paths, I'm probably making
sure I have everything in my pack. Okay, doing inventory those of you
who are going through your pack, and you give me a raw speed check
a free please m okay, sorreity. With that natural twenty, you're able
to help get manassa kind of you finished pretty quickly, and you're able to
kind of help inventory as best that she'll allow you, so that she can
finish around the same time as everybody else. And I said, let me
help you. I know things have been it as rough, But you know,
I very much cap for you and know we'll be I won't say no
to any help. Let's just start. I'm over and he's just where do
you want this to go? Should I get this? H? Yes?
And what about those? Those will wrap up together and put them with the
polaze canisters and then Sparker should go there. Okay? And the shots were
keeping that pack and they go, what is this? What is this?
Nevin? Talk? Nevin? What is that? I know? Instruction?
Nevern? Nevin? Are you able to? Are you able to stop the
train or slow down? Everyone? Close? Manual control? Where can I
find that? The console? Okay, I'll run to the console. Everybody
bookle up doing the console? I I would turn my focus on and I'd
check and see if I can see any sort of thing to interact with.
And if I do, I would I would touch the console or any Is
anything going to pop up? Yes? You get a number of warnings popping
up, a number of warnings popping up, specifically with obstruction detected brace for
impact, speed too high? What are you trying to do? I am,
I'm trying to lower the speed all the way down. Stay in your
seat. Oh goodness, what is directly to the sides of us at the
moment, mountain and snow, lots of snow. If you're talking about in
the cabin itself, in the cars, I was thinking outside sideways. If
we need to gotcha, I'm sorry. I'm going to go into my pack
and get the rope and I'm going to wind it round seats on in either
side, so there's almost like a kind of rudimentary fence or net there.
I'm going to wind my arm into it and gesture for them to all do
the same. Go ahead and give me a speed check of free. If
you have not Fayuka specifically for what she's doing. If you have ropes or
tying or anything like that, you could use that. Otherwise, just a
speed check of free. Success. You're pretty damn sure that your knots are
as secure as you could ever make them, especially in this amount of time,
and you motion and do just that, Alkali, What were you attempting
to press? H was Was there any button on there that said like speed
or like a velocity whatever, Go ahead and give me a perception check of
five. Hey, I'm going to go ahead and put there's a lot of
information flowing. Wait didn't. I didn't I interact with this before? Yes,
you did. Can I use my photographic memory? Oh wait, this
is just going to be trained. I think it's difficulty five, but you
could use You could use photographic memory to remember where certain things were before.
Absolutely, okay. I mean it's the same thing for perception, So I'll
just do perception. Okay, I'm gonna apply SHO points of effort as well.
Natural twenty. Very nice. We're all gonna die. It's okay,
worth it worth it is wrapping rope and tying and cinching knots and kind of
wraps an arm around and plops yourself in a seat doing so motions the rest
of you to do it. All of you can make a speed check of
two with the exception of Alkali succeeding. Well, you're able to grab your
stuff secure and defense check. No it is not. You're not defending,
but you are prepping. Oh sorccess. If you need to make a speed
defense check would mean you'd get an asset. What was my major effect?
Is that saved for later or your major I think that was helping manassa outright.
You succeeded and you were able to help manassa got you, got you
all right? Sweet check? Three? Yes? Two three three? Oh
it was two. My apologies. Okay, oops, mikel with a everyone
the roles right now. I'm so scared. I'm so scared. I'm so
scared. Everyone succeeds. Michael succeeds a little bit better. If you do
need to make a speed defense, really get two assets instead of one.
That. Yeah, I just I have a speed defense skill, so I
was just asking really, oh, totally fair, but yeah, with that
nineteen you'll get an extra asset. So Alkali. Finding exactly where you need
to go, knowing exactly what you need to do, and remembering the last
train and how you played around with the speed before, and remembering if you
put emergency brakes on, that ends up having almost devastating effects, depending because
it's emergency. But looking at everything and you catch a few obstructions and you
don't entirely know you're able to slow the speed down first, then hit emergency
brakes. See if everyone feels a jolt for a second. There not horrendous,
not as like the last train you're on, but still pretty bad.
And then the stop begins as you feel your guts and everything shifting forward.
As you are pulled, everyone can make a speed defense check of four those
of you who succeeded, which was everyone get an asset? NIKEL, you'll
have two assets? Am I also rolling for this as well? Yes,
you'll get an asset. Though due to your previous role and knowing what you're
doing and being able to anticipate it, where do we put assets in it?
After an effort? After it'll pop up for you? I h ah,
we knew it was gonna have. How would you like to do?
It's only it's only one extreme or the other with me, It's fine,
it's fine, considering this is a very very bad situation. I have one
experience, and I shall use one experience to cancel that out. Reroll then
NASA with the failure, everyone else with the success, Alkali with we'll see.
Oh is it a real it's supposed to be canceled? Just the intrusion.
I think I still fail regardless, right, Mack is nodding. Yes,
So the answer is yes, you fail, but you stop doing right.
Yeah, that's fair. Somehow it took me a week to forget that.
You've been doing too well. Don't worry. Well, that's changed now,
So Manassa, you've already successfully grabbed the rope. Unfortunately, with the
sudden jolt, you end up getting a very bad rope burned down your arm
as you're pulled in theank forward. You'll take three points of speed damage,
Alkali, same for you, three points of speed, but you weren't on
a rope and you end up getting jolted forward despite trying to anticipate it and
put your arm out just too slow as you slam your head into the screen
itself. And that's reduced by armor. Right, yes, okay, damage
is reduced by armor. The strain slows and gets itself to a stop.
Is everyone okay? Yeah? Well Alkali, are you guys all right?
Oh? Yes, we had a lovely time, didn't we. I am
good, I am fine? Fly It is it with you in these things?
Mm? Well I did better than last time. What is that noise?
What what is it saying? It's saying it's saying there's an obstruction something,
something's in the way. We would have crashed into it if if we
didn't stop this. Oh are you all right? Mayor? Yeah? Yeah,
I'm okay, Yeah, I would waddle over and I'll sit down I'm
going to be looking for concussion. I'm trying heal her up as best I
can. Okay, uh, go ahead and give me a medicine check difficulty
too. Mm hmm. Yeah, so you're not able to heal anybody with
this so much, but you do see that the wounds are fairly superficial.
They're gonna hurt, but it's not it's not like they can't function any more
sort of thing. I think he'll be fine. Cracking bruise on your head
though. There's the train level right now, yes it is. The snow
is coming down a lot harder. Now. I'm going to get myself out
of this uh tides wrap situation, and I will try to see if I
can see what's going on ahead, okay, I'm also give me a perception
checked difficulty and unless were you heading outside? Kay? Is that what I
just heard you say? I would like to before she does that, I'm
going to take a strip of the fabric that I pulled off the chair and
help pull her arm out. Go spit on it, good for healing.
Spit on it. That's sorry? Sorry, who was going outside? Okay?
I can spin on it if you get on it. Okay, then
fine if your arm's all right off in the train itself, there's too much
snow on the screen to be able to catch and see anything. It's just
too difficult to see this way it kil k, where are you going?
I gotta see what this obstruction is ware the cold and snow and with the
train. Okay, Nevin, do you have any any any information on what's
ahead of us? Unknown? It seems there is an abscraption. Thank you,
Nevin. You're welcome, ALCOHOLI everyone else okay, Hi, I am
I am just really cold, and Nasa, are you sure you're okay?
And as sorry, I'll be fine. It'll just sting a little bit in
the cold. But let's cover it up. Yeah, yeah, it's a
strip of that fabric. Tell let's to spit on her arm and wrap it
up so that it's it's moist but not Yeah, it's not going to get
cold, eig. Thank you. So hopefully if we can figure out what
the obstruction is, maybe we can end up moving it and and getting rid
of it. If it's if it's just something I don't know us, we're
gonna walk right. Yeah. Yeah, I'm just a little a little jolted
that's all. Cold will bring you back to you. This is in a
couple of minutes. Come on then, yea, who if you were heading
outside? Mm hmm, how many I would have been following him? K
okay and had hour for you as well. Okay, it's everyone going out
or a couple of staying. I will probably leave last. I'm going to
stay in the doorway, okay, just to make sure because all our stuff
is still in here. So right, Oh, I can't I take my
stuff with me? Oh yeah, I'll be I would have taken it too.
Or have you taken my rope off and put it back in my bag?
First you get grab yourself sorry, first chance you get grab yourself a
stick or something. You're gonna need it. Oh, I got my getting
out of the train into the crunch of snow fresh powder. Looking ahead as
this blizzard seems to be picking up a little hard to see who's taking a
lead and where you're going. So I probably am walking first with Nikail close
by, and I'm trying to get to the front of the train and see
what this obstruction is, try to see if I can find it. Okay,
all right, you're walking forward with nikekel there is no visible obstruction,
at least immediately in front of the train. And you do see the tracks
I see and frozen leading out ahead. Wait? Wait, wait, I
have the map. Hey, I don't see anything some obstruction I'm getting Nevin?
Yes, is there a way for you to show us where where we
are on the map versus where where where the obstruction is? All positioning satellite
have been down. From what I can tell, it is difficult to tell
exact location. Can't you do it the old way? See what's nearby and
figure out what that is on the map? Are you asking me for you?
Yes? You've got eyes well site, haven't you? It is difficult
to tell location due to the large amount of snow. Okay, Nevan?
How long has it been since last we inquired about? Uh? The link?
The travel time approximately fifty minutes. Last time we asked, it was
about thirty minutes. We're forty five forty five minutes right, forty five,
so we're thirty minutes away by this train. Nevan? Uh, can you
give me some sort of an estimate on the map of where we are With
the knowledge that we are about thirty minutes away from our destination and still on
the tracks, go ahead and give me uh. I think in this case
that would be artifact knowledge difficulty five. Okay, I will also apply an
effort as well. Okay, success, I say, it seems that we
are roughly at these no walming hack spied lodge the what ski lodge? Snow
wambing hack ski lodge? The lodge a lodge? Ay? What lodge?
Now? Skiing ahead on the side of the frat? What is this ski?
That's a good question, tribe Nevin, what what is skiing? What
is it? What is it? Ski? Ata? It's fun? I
know we should all be on our guard. Yes, yeah, I don't
know if I trust those ski people all collide. Did the spirits tell you
anything? Let me let me talk. I would turn on my focus and
see if there is any sign of any signal around me. Okay, You
and Fayuka can sins. Fuka doesn't turn hers off. You can both give
me a perception check difficulty five as well. It's intellect right correct difficulty what
sorry? Five? You may I don't know if you do or not.
It doesn't look like you have a direct perception skill difficulty five solid raw roll
right there? So Alkali here? Maybe still a little maybe not concussed,
because a little bop on the head wouldn't do that, but maybe you're a
little dizzy from it still, and it's hard for you to to kind of
gather yourself. However, Heyuka, as you maybe everyone's kind of trudging forward
a little bit and fairly cautiously away from the train while keeping it in your
sight. It does look like maybe there there might actually be something old one
up ahead. You do get some blips kind of like what you would with
doors and paths and old one ruins something up that way. Keep on your
God, this ski tribe might be lurking. I'll make a bee line straight
for what I'm saying, Nevin, can can you possibly put some sort of
a locator on this this lodge you were talking about, just so I have
it visibly? I believe I can. Thank you, Thank you, thank
you. And you see a blip show up on the map, Okay,
it looks like it's I mean, you don't entirely know where you are specifically,
but blip shows up and it's roughly kind of what you can tell the
direction that you could point it out. I think that lines up. Everybody,
Bundle up, let's go grab your stuff, and you all trudge forward
lodge. Yeah, the wind beats upon your back as you move forward,
seemingly moving through the pass. As it temperature continues to drop, visibility drops
even more, becomes harder and harder to see, though, Fayuka, you
have no troubles with your focus. As you continue to move forward in the
snow, building's outline begins to show itself, caked in ice, presumably preserved
and near it along the tracks are what you Fayuca would absolutely RECOGNI eyes as
leftovers of an avalanche covering the tracks in front of the lodge. Does looking
up at the mountains around us, does it look like the lodge is in
danger of another impact? The lodge seems to be mostly outside of the impact
zone of this avalanche, though there may have been stares at one point and
they've since been covered. We all see the outline of well just as you
get closer, Yes, and you see a lot of snow. Those of
you who have not witnessed an avalanche before, snow impacked ice covering the tracks.
What happened here, talk glad to just keep moving, is that the
snow being used as a weapon, not used itself. As a weapon.
Come on, mkay, keep it down. We do not know who's out
here Misty tribe, and if they're out here, we do not want to
endanger ourselves in their element. You're right, you're right, you're right,
you're right right. You can't see any sigils on the side of it,
can I? As you approach, you do, in fact see a sigil?
Oh? Do I recognize it? Yeah, it's the standard door sigil.
Mhm. Oh this again. You would see that now, Alkali,
when you get closer, do you want me to open it? Or are
you good? I'll go? Are they gonna take anyone out? M might
just be the one mm hm anyway, mm hmm, and I'll go to
the door and slam my fist against it twice. Yeah. Your method,
while crude and not the flourishy way that Alkalia opens doors, still works as
you kind of like pound on the sigil itself a way that only Fayuka does,
and it unlocks as you know it where the symbol itself kind of twists
and turns and then opens and you know the door is unlocked, though it
seems frozen shut, so the door hasn't opened, it's just unlocked. Correct.
When you pounded on it, you heard maybe a little bit of ice
groaning. This building has not been touched for who knows how long? What's
wrong? This frozen shut? Okay? Maybe hit it, kick it,
pull it. Maybe I'll look for other entrances. I'm sorry? Are you
suggesting that it's? Yes? Zi? MK? Can you help the door?
H yes, yeah, I can smack it. Let's try pulling all
together first? Oh no smacking? Okay, well maybe a little light around
the edges, a little smack off, a little smack it, gentle smacking
the door? Sweet, we've got no door for everyone? I can smash
gently? Does that specifically? MK? Can everyone give me a mighte defense
check of two? Every everyone? I'm sorry? Say that again? Everyone
gave a might defense check of tube. Oh yeah, I didn't do defense.
I didn't know how to do. It's just a good It's just a
might role. Some people haven't might defense specifically written out? But either or
is it same? If you're trained in defense is when you want to scale
for it. But yes, you might? Okay, I think that that
was everyone. Great. The cold is biting at you, but you've bundled
up enough that you're feeling Okay for now, looking around, are there any
other interests that confined with my focus on? You can give me another perception
check this time of or on? Oh uh, I have expert we should
make me honest. Yes, this is the only entrance that you can find.
So there's one other entrance that the sigil is flickering, but that whole
side seems to have either had a collapse or snow and ice build up or
both. This is your best entry point. There's nothing else. Okay,
let's begin with the door. Is it my time? Just gently? Gently?
Gently of course, lots of little taps around the outside. Do you
want to break it? Yes? Okay, everyone stand back. Okay,
why are you asking us to stand back? If you're gonna gently tap it?
Look, just stand back, okay, don't question it, just do
it. Okay, this this the snow. Did you see how the snow
attacked these people? Well? This ski tribe's all right, Okay, I'm
gonna I'm gonna try to control my uh extreme strength and uh just tap it
as gently as I can. Kind of the first taps are gonna be me
gauging you know how much strength I need to apply? Okay, all right,
go ahead and give me an attacked role with the Yuka junior. Uh
difficulty, Just start swinging an old lady around. Come on, let's go.
Oh my god, I have a sound ready for Faka's bone snapping sor
right, they do them without help. Success. It's the exact role you
needed to I. Yeah. So you're kind of tapping with your mall,
kind of gauging the strength of this ice, and you actually find that it's
a lot more solid than you thought originally, so you do actually have to
kind of put a little more weight into it. Okay. As you begin
hitting the edges and then you find yet another one of these convenient doors.
While it does open outward, the majority of the ice has seeped into the
seam between the doors, and you begin to like hammer a lot harder at
those, chipping and breaking the ice away, and it looks like, after
a few more hits it's going to actually open. Oh yeah, oh yeah,
you're gonna work with me, okay, Okay, let's go, yes,
yeah, job, you cleared the ice. Yes, take up break,
take up break right? Let me know, all right, Zayarie,
can we trying to open this now? Absolutely? I am ready? All
right? Is there a handle or what what are we looking at? There
are two handles, one on each side that are visible. Looks like you
grab that handle and I'll grab this one. Okay. With a bit of
a grunt and strain due to the wind at your backs, maybe giving you
a little extra resistance, you're able to open the doors. Light and an
mostly empty looking lodge, barely reminiscent of what you might actually would recognize,
albeit with old one flare great. You a large hearth in the center,
old frozen seating about with very well preserved old ones scattered about, frozen sitting
at tables, maybe huddled under, some of them together, some of them
around the hearth itself. Does it look like there's any wood in the fire
currently or like in the fireplace? I mean there's some preserved but frozen wood
sitting next to the hearth. And I use my Iphi detail here. I
don't know how it existently? Can hey whan to go on and make sure
there is no broken windows or cracks to where cold can come in and sleep
upon us. Ah, what is your direct question that you would like to
ask me? As you can? Are there endangerments? Let me just be
specific specific so I don't. Please. Are there endangerments coming in from the
cold that can creep on us like broken windows? Broken torn I don't know.
Clarifying statement, just to make sure I'm getting your intent correct. You
are asking is this sealed from the weather more or less that the question?
The answer is yes, it is. It looks like the windows were pretty
well insulated. The temperature in here is still very very cold and freezing,
but it's not outside higher than outside, and you've got shelter from the wind
and snow. If you shut the doors behind you, you'll be fairly protected
from the elements in that regard. Okay, Nikael, can you and you
get the doors? Yes, everybody inside. You just close the doors behind
everyone. Okay, everybody be careful because this is the ski tribe headquarters here.
Okay, it's very rare. Yeah, but be careful. Okay,
there's no air intruding. Though it is very cold in here. This serves
as something we can work with. We should probably unpack and get our bed
rolls and everything really close together and see if we can we can do something.
What is that over there? He points at the I guess the fireplace.
Yeah, it looks like a like a hearth. You know what a
hearth is. Yeah, it's the furniture in this place, all made of
wood. Yeah yeah, a lot of it would with like very frozen patting.
Mm hmm. Just somebody, uh who's feeling a little violent want to
break some of this up. We can get the fire going. I have
to move the people, and move the people respectfully, all right. I
start trying to cry. I'm assuming they're frozen, right, oh, very
yeah. I start prying and I think I break off a finger. What
what are you doing? They're preserved moving the bodies, And I just said,
with my focus, does anything pop up on the bodies or anything like
that in the surrounding area? Perception check of six for you. I need
to identify them. When what were you say? I said, I'm basically
trying to like pick their hands up, and I'm pretty sure I take a
finger off, yeah, okay, and I flick it at Okay, I'm
down. This doesn't sound respectful. I just moved towards a body and look
for a hold on into arms or something that has a little bit more stiffness
to it. Are these bent over or are they huddled together? Varying?
Some of them maybe look like they were sitting on the couch, is just
kind of waiting. Some of them are like huddled together under tables. Some
of them are actually sitting. That's kind of the main thing. Okay,
where are we putting them? Just off to the side for now, and
know it'd be so creepy if they wake up. That'd be really unfortunate,
because this one's going to be missing your finger? Are you guys gonna just
sit there and watch this one? Gently? Move them come home. I
don't know if I can gently remove this one. You don't grab them by
their finger. You get underneath left here, come with me, use their
legs gently. Okay, I'm going to assist in helping him. Okay,
yeah, you don't need to roll for it. It's just I'm down easy,
all right. Okay, come, you are a muscleless and I'm helping.
I'm here. My god, just look at him. Look this one.
Shut this one. You don't want that one because you might not be
able to pick it up. Okay, okay's pick up this one. Well,
let's ski try. They weren't very strong, now, were they,
so I guess after maybe like a few minutes or so, we get them
moved in a corner. Yeah, well they're doing that. Is there a
there's a big window or something looking at over the panorama? Is it that
kind of ski lodge or just absolutely it is. I'm gonna because I'm no
good at this side of things, I'm just going to kind of settle myself
down and be scanning the horizon, scanning them the outside to see. Yeah,
it looks what Nevin called the Seattle area, your destination, which admittedly
very far away and due to the blizzard that seemed to have rolled in,
you can no longer see that old one city ruin in the distance. But
if you give me a perception, check difficulty or it's intellect right, yes,
m Wizard's a bit too much to actually see anything, if anything was
approaching, if you saw or felt or heard or rumble of another avalanche,
you're not sure. I'm sort of investigating the hearth just in general, trying
to understand what it is. Okay, Yeah, it's definitely you can tell
it's purpose, but it is absolutely old one. And I mean me,
you can give me a per perception or a skill that you might think is
more more applicable of tow to what perception or difficulty too. If you think
you have a skill that that is more useful, you can use that.
Oh no, I mean I assume it would be in in check, right,
Yeah, absolutely so. Yeah, it's actually really archaic for old ones.
It's basically it's just just extravagant looking. The stonework is very very fine
and well done, but it looks like a pretty normal hire place. The
flute might be long broken, but for the most part your kind of standard
fireplace hearth. I think they put the fires here and the smoke escaped up.
That is good. Let us make fire. I'm going to sort of
look in and see if I can see sky or anything like there's a hole
there or anything like that. Doesn't look like you can the flute or whatever
you'd be used to is maybe shut. I'm gonna go in a corner and
grab I'm gonna start grabbing tables and chairs in a corner and maybe like,
how can lie? Yeah, two things we can do. Give you help
me chop this up. Or maybe you should check their pockets over there if
possible, to see if there's any kind of cards or whatever else that these
old ones may have had access somewhere. I can I can I can do
that looking around, Dan, are there any like table like desks or drawers
or anything like that as well? Absolutely? Yeah, Okay, I'll see
if I can look through their pockets, and then I'll do a little sweep
of the place and take a lot of tables and first do a couple so
I can have them before I bust them up, just in case something is
important and I don't ruin it. Okay, all right, i'd go around
and start looking any help? Uh yeah? Are you? Are you good
to help? Yes? I'm not done here. I don't think we can
move anymore these, okay. Uh, So I'll have you m k roll
first for me. It'll be so that you can give an asset if you
succeed. Difficulty for it would be an int check. Uh you're searching,
You're you're scavenging, more or less. I'm going to use one effort.
Okay, succeed you'll get an asset for uh the same role okay, searching
or scavenging. Uh bas okay, Yeah, you are able to find some
Like really, they're like little packages you've seen like old one packaging before,
and like it's kind of orangish in color, though faded and they're just they
kind of pick them up, and they kind of break into pieces when you
do, and it just seems useless. I can't really find anything you're worth
here. Yeah, I'll slide it over here. Man, we need to
break up this furniture and make fire. I am on it. Take off
my sword and be safely away from everybody and try to break it up quickly.
Okay, you don't need to roll for that. Okay, it's old
wood that has been here for too long. It's snaps while it's all frozen.
Man versus furniture. Man wins. All right, who's going to pass
time? Um? Can you want to help me with all of this?
Let's take it over to Nickel. You know I'm down to smash anytime.
It's already smashed. We don't need more. We need wood not to see
out ash. Okay, okay, okay, you see I can. I
can handle my strength. Okay, I can bring the wood over to Nikle.
Should be plenty. Just pilot up here. Do we still have any
of those firs from the creek whatever his name was, Door Creak? Yes,
we only have the first that we have to keep us warm at this
point. Yeah, I was thinking to make something. We have all this
here, maybe we can make something. We need to trap the heat.
When when when if we get this going, we need to get this this
wood dry somehow. I think that the cold will have seeped, some of
the will have seeped moisture out, but some of it is frozen. It's
going to get very smoke here in here. Maybe the heat that we create
can Is it frozen up there? And he puts his head in it,
I could not see the sky. We may have problems with smoke. Is
there anywhere I can put my sword in there and then just nudge go ahead
and give me a difficulty. One might check, yes, you can,
it's frozen. But after you kind of like give it a couple of bashes,
the flu snaps into place and you do start to see sky. Maybe
you get hit with a little bit of snow and ash, Okay, I
think you're good. I look good. Just sit all over his face and
the hands. I think it's in my my mouth the snow outside, Ah,
you look, I don't. Yes, I'm just gonna go to the
door and crack it open and grab some snow and just like I don't wipe
it on my face face is cold but far cleaner. Now, okay,
I think I did something. I can see the sky. Now we should
be able to light a fire and let's smoke escape. I'll get to work
on that. I'll help someone should look around this place to see if there's
anything else here. M hm to activate scavenger Okay, I mean the skill
or a special ability on top of still okay, I was like, I
don't think you activated, just do it scavenger mode activating on Okay, what
difficulty would i've put that as? Uh, it will be the same as
alkali difficulty for you're the last one that can attempt to scavenge. Though if
there were things and desks, they may have disappeared, not as a success
as that is kind of your deal. Yeah, you go about maybe how
far before I answer, how far into the lodge would you go? Because
it's a big room, and then there's if you go past the hearth,
there are uh stairs, go up. I would go pretty far, like
even as much as like upstairs because like I'm in my zone. Like yeah,
so maybe you look at like you start maybe picking through some of the
tables that the anxiety smashed up and there wasn't anything good in them anyway.
You find more of those orange packages that Alkali found, and moving up the
stairs with kind of the crunching of this frozen carpeting, most of the there
were rooms up there. A lot of those doors are open and pretty barren.
Looks like they've already been picked through, potentially by old ones, as
it doesn't look like it's been disturbed for a very long long time. You
do find one room with a door shut, though not locked. I would
like to attempt to open it, and you're able to. It creaks pretty
heavily, but it opens, and you find a few old ones huddled together,
frozen with what looks like their belongings around them. I turn around,
make sure no one's behind me. I don't think anyone followed you. Yeah,
you turn around, I look do it respectfully, and I'm going to
go over and I'm going to look through the belongings. Okay, so yeah,
you've already done your scavenging check. As you begin to you find what
looks like maybe some sort of bag, but it's got like a very odd
lock on it that you're able to drag across and open. Okay, because
I don't want to like. I don't. I don't want to, like
to reader, I don't want to like touch them. Yeah, you don't
have to. You don't have to. The belongings were more around them than
in their hands. What's in the box? You find a lot of what
looks like parchment, but in small green like stacks. There's lots and lots
of parchment held together. The main thing you do find, though, with
your scavenging role, is a couple more of those small Old one explosive devices
in the midst of all of that, okay, hiding under the stacks and
stacks of this green parchment. I take the green parchment, but how how
many would you say? Like, hmmm, probably five or six stacks about
that thick. Okay, I'll take all five. And then there were two
of the Old one explosive devices. They look very similar to those ones you
found before the defense building for areas. Uh, I guess I would still
like look around the room to see if there's like anything else that may be
of use, nothing that you can see. Well, I'm doing it.
I'm talking to myself. Well, you won't be needing this anymore. And
I don't know why you would carry this patchman in a box that alone locket
but maybe it sentimental or whatnot, but could make really good tinder. And
this is an explosive. I'm going to pocket that and I think that's all
I can get out of this. Thank you for your time and right,
well you have and I like, look up at the people. Have a
great one. Am I going to turn around and leave? Yeah, you
would have heard that, Fajuka, The rest of you probably not, Like
there's open air along the railways where the rooms are, but you'd have to
be listening in pretty hard. However, Buka being a bit close, stating
that she did follow and quietly at that. It's up to you whether or
not you're in sight when she exits the room or not. Fiuka, You're
old had succeeded, so you could dip back away if you so chose.
I'll just be leaning against her a wall and just shoot her a slight smile.
No, hello, I'm useful. Found some and I'm going to handle
sack of the parchment. Found this could be useless tinder. Good thank you,
Yes, that's what I thought. They kept it in a box for
some reason. Locked. Oh, stop looking for logic when none exists,
if it was there, it's long gone. Now better we make use of
it than them. Indeed, you're learning. Don't worry. I won't tell
anyone good. It would ruin my reputation. Come on, let's go and
get warm, agreed, and I will follow back. And that is where
we'll take our break for the day. So thank you for everybody for being
here. We'll be right back. Real short break. But there were some
cool trailers for shows that you can watch on other days as well. But
welcome to the second to last episode of Forbidden Lands. We'll see what they
do in a lodge of ski after the break. Stay warm, everyone,
Welcome back to Forbidden Lands. We're going to dive right back in with Nasa
and Fayuka coming back down the stairs to a fire that has begun to roar
in this old one hearth. They are gotten it going any luck. I
found this, I hand him the I handed him like a to the packs
a tender or parchment. Oh this could be good for later. I was
able to get the fire going without it, luckily. Oh all right,
what is that some some sort of pictures parchment. It's got some smudge images
and stuff on it. I don't know but they were bound in packs and
kept in a locked box and matching out here, and I think that can
make a fire is considered quite the luxury, so it makes sense I want
to protect it, right, So once everyone gets warmed up, I'm going
to have a look and see if I can head further down the line here,
so see if I can figure out what blocked the transport. I'll go
with you. I have the map and everything. Are you sure? Yeah?
Okay? What blocked this? You mean the down there? The Yes,
it was it was just snow, wasn't it. I don't know,
but we have to look. I'm gonna come with why, because if it's
something that we can clear, maybe we can continue with the transport. M
We're far what I'm just I'm just eating rations. Do you need help or
do you need me to look after the fire because it may go out once
Alkali and I have a look, and if m K is coming, I
am okay, okay, I would tend the fire. M hmm. Seems
like they re found another paradise for himself. Huh. I mean if you
need me to go, I can go. Just be careful. We don't
have that much wood. Oh yeah, I got it. Just keep it
starting. Yeah, it should be good. So should we go? Yes,
let's go. I'll take one longing look at the fire and wrought myself
back up again. Actually you should look at the fire. I will go.
I'm sorry. Do I well, I might get greedy and put more
wood in while you are all god and get really warm. And I think
you have better judgment than me. And also I can probably track see if
there's any footprint or anything out there leading somewhere. Am I right in thinking
that this is a suggestion based on my age? Absolutely not. You tricked
me first on hitting me. I still have the wound mentally, So these
young people are to go outside into the snow, my natural habitat, and
I'm to stay here. Why precisely? I won't argue with you. You're
right picture. Yes, I'm not asked. Let me let me. I
would like to see you stop me, young lady. Come on, I
would not dare even try. Be careful if you need anything. Scream no,
don't scream, no, absolutely no screaming the snow. We'll take too
long to explain that screaming angers the snow. Oh then, okay, so
maybe the ski people just screamed a lot, and that's why this happened.
Look out of the corner of my eye to m K same though, I'll
just yeah, go go. The cold is coming in, all right.
We're going to have a look and see if there's something that we can do
about this obstruction. We'll be back as soon as we can. If we're
gone for too long, on come look for us. Absolutely, that's fair.
Everyone bundle up. But who is staying behind? Just me anxiety?
Okay, yep, all right, Oh Monosta is coming as well. Yep,
of course. All right. The five of you step out and are
immediately yet again, hit with blast of cold and snow in your face.
This cold is a lot deeper cutting than you're used to. You're doing better
than the rest of them, admittedly, but this almost feels unnatural compared to
what you're used to. Where are you all trudging? Because that is what
you're doing now through this snow. It's picking up and it's building up.
I'd be following the tracks or trying to follow the tracks. Okay, can
you give me a racking check of three? I can do that, thank
you. Definitely doing just that. Checking for new special bullshit like expert some
of our some of our players may have gotten some player bullshit since last episode.
Mm hm hey, and this is a difficulty? What difficulty? Three
fifty success? It's no problem for you. While the tracks themselves are no
longer visible, you remembered where they were. You saw your old tracks though
they are disappearing to the lodge. But it's metal and you're able to feel
that with kilt the butt of your staff as you're walking and tapping to make
sure that you're following the tracks. And you reach as a Huguenots g avalanche
and you've seen those two as well, Nikekel, though you hadn't seen this
at the time. Keep moving, you see how anything yet? Okay?
Just some rocks? Is this how it's supposed to be? For God?
He told you just keep moving, don't stand still. It's some kind of
storm. The avalanche has covered the tracks entirely. From what you can tell,
Nikel, it might be two or three feet deep over the tracks themselves,
with packed ice and snow. It looks like there's too much snow on
the track. Would we be able to move it? I don't know.
It's a lot. We might be able to if we had some sort of
tool, yes, Alkali. How many how many obstructions did did the did
the train detector or did you detect beforehand? Was it just one or were
there multiple? One obscuption a lot one? Okay, So that means that
this is probably the only one right that would be as fairly accurate assumption,
Alkali. Thank you Levin. You are welcome of Alkali often and just randomly.
Robbie H. So how deep is the snow? If you move up
onto the avalanche itself, it's probably a good three feet or sell where you
are, it's probably pushing about a foot and new snow is building. Well,
we can either dig it with our hands and freeze doing it. So
find a swifter way to it. We have to take a look around.
There's no way we can clear all of this snow. Oh really, no
way. Do you have any ideas? Lots of things clear snow. Question
is, and I hit the ground in between the tracks. Are these things
got so good enough footing to take it? What if we got some torches
or maybe one of these I'm going to I'm gonna pull out a blaze canister.
Oh? Can everyone give me a mite? Defense of three? Except
for anxiety. Who is so warm by the fire toasty? I'm holding a
blaze, canisters, a cant fastening character rolling wow, okay, okay,
Banasa or sorry m K nikel take three points of mite damage as you are
freezing, Yuka. It's dropping in tempt, but I mean, come on,
you've you in your youth. You you climbed the summits of the banuk
to paint your your stories. This is nothing in fact with that major effect,
I'm gonna give it to you. Yeah, these tracks are very well
built. As you're tapping and kind of just ignoring the cold there, they
should probably be able to take kind of whatever you throw at them, so
to speak. You're confident of that, Alkali, you're doing incredible in fact
with your major effect, that that in damage you took from the hit,
the cold's kind of snap your focus back. You can recover those three points
of image. Ye oh, so I'm pointing to Manassa. So how far
back do we need to be to watch the fun Well, assuming it's going
to make somewhat of a bit of a blast, hopefully not too much to
the point where we trigger an avalanche, it should melt majority of the ice
we have to make sure that we place them carefully though, so we don't
actually, you know, disrupt the tracks. No, it looks pretty sturdy.
Just don't give it too much. Wellie and I walk back up towards
where we came a little bit, and as I passed Nkel, I'm like,
see, well, whatever you think might work, I think it's better
than trying nothing. So what are we doing? Are you placing it and
then having the caw fire a shot? Okay, we're going to try one.
If that doesn't work, we'll use the remaining two. Okay, I'm
gonna go ahead, and I'm going to go forward, and I'm going to
try to like place it like right. I want to say, like as
close as I can get it to like a majority of the snow on the
tracks, okay, like the center of the avalanche more or less. Yeah,
Okay, why don't you go ahead and give me a client check at
two? Okay? Would that be a minor speed? Um, I'll let
you decide, depends on how you're doing it. If you're trying to scramble
up versus like distinctly placed, I'll do speed. Okay. Yeah, if
you use effort, it'll need to use Speed two Difficulty Yes, success.
You scramble up, no problem. It's only three feet high, but you
did I believe you said you took your stuff with you. So you make
it to the middle set the blaze canister in. It's green fluid, still
sloshing, seemingly not caring too much about the cold, and are able to
climb back down. No problem. Oh, we'll make a snow dweller of
you. Yet. I hope this does not anger the snow. It probably
will. Everyone stand back. I'm going to take aim with my bow.
Okay, and as he's doing it, I'm just doing really hushed kind of
almost like a prayer to the ski. Okay, why don't you give me
an inch check Fayuka Difficulty three. As you see Nikel lineup is shot.
Mm hmm. You're gonna gain an asset Nikel from Fayuka and the spirits,
or at least so you think, O Nkel, go ahead and give me
a Difficulty five attack roll as the wind whipping and the maybe your fingers are
a little numb from your previous defense failure, but you do get an asset.
Nonetheless, I'm gonna go ahead and put an effort in for free as
you can do that needed a six and rolled a six. The arrow flies,
your numb fingers almost slipping as the air releases, and it sinks in
the blaze canister as it erupts now. Blaze canisters aren't normally explosive, as
more a spreading of a flaming liquid, and it does so, and the
liquid begins to spread and melt and sizzle. Though there was a noise nonetheless
from the impact. Everyone can give me a perception check free intellect. You
do not have a perception skill. You are listening. I have expert Yes
you do want Oh God export Fayuka mumbling to yourself and still praying to the
spirits is more focused on that than anything else. Manassa very keen eyed though
you heard something through the wind, but you're even more thinking you saw something
wow the avalanche. The rest of you think you hear I get a nineteen
as well? Oh you got a nineteen as well? Then you definitely also
think you see something moving? Howl moving? Why is it? Can you
see howling? You hear that? Yes, some kind of howling. The
avalanche is melting slowly, but sure, what are you doing? We need
to get back to ZAIRI. He're right here, right, let's go.
Don't shout and stay low. Everyone move, I'll guard. I'll guard the
the area behind us. I pulled the rope out of my backpack again and
tie a few knots in it at different lengths and just pass it up the
line to everybody, so we're all kind of holding onto the same piece of
rope. Okay, I'm assuming everyone complies, but let me know if you
don't. Okay, Nikkel, you have your bow out, are you able
to uh grab that or are you going what are you going to do with
that rope because you know you can't string of rope a string of bow and
hold that. I'll tie it around my waist. Okay, yeah, you
can do so, no problem. Okay. In the midst of that,
still, maybe hear the echoing howls in the distance, though it seems to
get closer as you move your way back to the lodge and open the doors.
Diarty, what do they see when they open the doors? He's got
the batteries Like m hm. The snow obscues your vision, but you do
see his outline as it comes you get ready for battle, Get up,
I was just doing the what you doing celebration at the impending battle. Yes,
I'm on, I'll go, okay, I I'll go to the window
at the front that he looked out at before and see if I can see
anything past where the avalanche was. Ah, you give me just to just
do one more perception difficulty free all of us, just so you can and
she succeeds. Do you remember? Just mechanically, because I haven't been here
for a bit, you can add effort, which will cost some of your
pool, to decrease the difficulty of your roles if you want to be more
guaranteed of success. But it does eat up your stack, so nonetheless you
succeed. As you're peering out through this blizzard, and you do see movement,
you see that's that's not a saw tooth. That's not a large catlike
machine. You do see glints occasionally from the light, and it looks a
little smaller than that, a little more. I think you've heard that word
before describing scrappers. You've not seen a machine like that before. And it
disappears into the lizard and there are more. M hm, okay, I
love everything. I can see them? How many down there? I don't
think you want to know the answers to that. Do you think that we
cleared enough snow off of the track to get the transport moving? That's how
far is it between those creatures and us and the train? They're not in
between, they're on the other side, more on the avalanche side, but
they might they Look, you've seen predators move, and it's it's straight downhill
to the train. More uphill to the train. Downhill is more poured your
destination, your final destination. Oh, I mean from us, it's downhill
towards the Yes, it's a bit downhill towards the train. Yeah, proximity
wise, yes, technically. Okay, all right, we need to move
fast if we're going to do this. Let's go now. And there are
tables and things here, yes, still, okay, take the legs off
them. Okay, now crack. Go ahead and give me a speed check
at two. Those that are doing that, I'm still guarding like outside.
Okay, you're standing like outside the open door looking out yep. Okay,
you've got a nineteen already, so you've already seen or think you've seen.
Oh boy, all right, we'll get to that in a second. There,
Oh, we won't denying it, all right, it's just experience.
You said, no, we won't. I have the bullshit. He's got
that thing. He's got the thing. That's what I was doing by the
fire. That's my bullshit. Then feel free to re roll while we deal
with what Nikel is. Difficulty to speed. Yes, that's right, it's
a Nikel. You see these so good creatures lurking and moving forward. Yeah,
you can break the table legs off, no problem. You cannot do
that again for another ten hours till the ten hour recover ROAs just a reminder
there, but solid use one of those machines. As you now can recognize
it. Nikel is slinking, for you've not seen a machine like this before.
It is maybe three or four feet at its shoulder, quadrup eedle,
a tail lashing behind it, a long snout, gears worrying as it moves
forward. Maybe i'd say short range from you, short range fifty feet.
The lizard is obscuring a lot of vision. It is slinking. It looks
it is. It is absolutely in predator mode. You've recognized this from your
hunts. Its shoulders are kind of up as it moves forward. Toward you.
What do you say, I see a predator? Move now? Oh,
gesture for Zayiri to take one of the tables that he's knocked the legs
off and put it on the ground. Two each, three each, Get
on. We're sledging, okay, using this light, use the table as
a sled towards the train. Yeah. Yeah, we want to build up
speed as quickly as possible. Beautiful to organize that. I love that idea,
but I'm going to definitely need you to make a role for it.
You can, specifically, that's going to be difficulty for speed unless you think
you have a skill that would amplify that. That's up to you. If
you don't think or can't argue something, I'm probably not guilty for Okay,
difficulty for speed to get this to work. See if you communicated well enough
but also can place it out well enough. Uh, and I'll put in
two effort. Can I do that? No? Can? Can? I
definitely? You definitely can, Okay, says in the upper right for Oh,
well, that changed itself over, I'll fix that. You have ability?
Okay, Well, in that case, if it's mortal peril, let's
do three. If I can do Yeah, if you'd like. Yeah,
so that takes three off my pool. Yeah. Nine, nine, Okay,
that's fine. Yep nine speed you have and edge, but no more
than that. But you succeed. Guaranteed success. Everyone is able to PLoP
themselves onto a legless table and begin to slide themselves back past Nikkel down the
hill of the lodge toward the trainn Kel, you see them fly behind you
and past you as this predator moves forward. I'm going to see them running
sort of sliding down behind me. I look, I do a double take,
and I turn around and I'm gonna rush and sort of try to jump
on the back of the thing. Go ahead and give me both a run
and a jump check. Can I give him a and asset? Since I'm
the last one, I believe you can because of your ability. Yes,
that lets you. It helps someone with a physicality task. You can aid
one of his motions, that one reach out when he jumps and grab him.
Okay, so you jump. We'll get an asset difficulty too for both
of them. Come on the high up. Okay, Owl's echo from more
directions, Nikkel, as you run and not slipping, and the man I
want to try to do something while this is happening. Okay, he'll make
his jump roll, but you absolutely can attempt something. Okay, I'll let
him go first. I leap his sprinting to catch up to this table sled,
grabs Xiety's hand as he pulls him in and onto the sled. Hang
fi, Okay, what are you doing? I can I fire my trip
cast in capacitator like I want to fire and try to put like a trap
right, you know, in front of us. But I assume we have
enough distance in front of us, I mean behind us, right behind in
front of them. No, no in between you and these correct correct that
you may absolutely attempt that. Yes, okay, I need a difficulty five
attack role with the incapacitator. What are you using for that? By the
way, victrip casser? Right? But what type of trap? Oh?
So I have shock and I have fire. I think I'm going to use
shock. Okay, I'm trying to Yeah, all right, go ahead and
give me that. I'll CALLAI. You said something there. I'm going to
have my focus on and wait for any given opportunity for them to get close,
to be able to scan and take a look and see if I can
pinpoint any weaknesses, any like anything within their their insides. Okay, you're
moving pretty quick and away from them, but they begin to sprint. And
when I say they, I mean probably good five or six of these machines
begin charging mk fires off or trip caster, getting a very wide arc of
this wire trap. Go ahead and give me a perception scan of these machines
as they get close. Alkali Difficulty five. I'm also going to apply.
I'm also going to apply to you effort. Okay, okay. In a
success, we're able to scan them quickly before one hits the trap, the
lead one, the one that was stalking Nikekel and you see, okay,
there's a there's a sonic device in its throat, similar to what you dealt
with with some of the other like those those long legs, those those bird
like ones. They've got that pouch for sonic attacks. That is absolutely its
biggest weakness. As you see it hit the trap and tumble in the snow
with a few more leaping over it following behind. Your table is slowing down
as the incline begins to level out. As you are near the train,
get in a train as passed as your card once once the the table sled
starts to slow down. I'm gonna come up and sort of from a roll,
and I'm gonna aim at the closest one of these machines and fire.
Okay, I'm gonna five. I'm gonna run in front of Nikkel like and
try to just form a defensive stand. Okay, So do you clarify that
for me, because right now he's attacking and you just said run in front,
and that's the word I'm going to use. Okay, Well, I
guess you want to say like, I'm just trying to defend on his side,
giving him room to shoot. I guess I should be more stupid.
Okay, I'll let you have that this time. Yeah, I mean I
was. I didn't mean to me in the head. Please, Well next
time, fair enough, I have an ability of bullshit. I can get
out of that. But enough, I have a special ability, do you
known as surprise attack? I got it to your tack for me. An
advantage was the pride before your opponent has acted in an asset. So they
are they are. They are absolutely attacking you in that sense. So I
think you they have acted in the sense that they're stalking you. But but
I'm gonna do a thing I don't normally do, which is I'll do a
roll and I'm just gonna get a D one hundred and fifty and up will
succeed because I think you're you're well within thirty eight, so you don't get
a surprise on them day they were stalking you. All right, then I
will just fire with my sharp shots though. Okay, I am, however,
a capable warrior that you are, and I got plus one to my
attacks, a tier four. Okay, what's the difficulties at five? Five?
All right, let's go ahead and put in, uh do two effort
into the attack and one into the damage. Okay, success, just barely,
but a success nonetheless. As your arrow flies true, the closest of
these predators gets hit directly in its shoulder area and immediately slumps and slides,
still very much alive and functioning, but absolutely taken off guard. Another one
leaps over it. I'm dying. I need everyone to start it, and
for foot, everyone who is running away and not kind of backpedaling defending,
which would so far I believe is only nikkel anxiety. So the four of
you please give me a run check. Difficulty too, that is a speed
check. You don't have a run ability. I think I'd probably try and
back them up, noticing that they're trying and fighting, so I'll pull out
my shot bow to you. Okay, all right, difficulty too? Did
you say difficulty too? Would you like to okay? Would you like to
accept the GM intrusion or pay an experience to deny it and still fail?
You would get an experience, and you can give one if you accept.
That seems unfair, intrigue who gets an experience? And make sure to mark
yourself an extra experience? Juicy? So you need to give give an experience
away to one of the other players Nickel okay, Michael mark an experience?
You shot one nikel anxiety another one leap over that one that just slid and
hit the ground. You see one of the predators that had hit MKS trap
shocked and twitching due to the experience. But one comes out from the blizzard
seemingly down the side of the pass and immediately engages Fayuka as she runs.
Faiyuka, I need you to give me a difficulty five defense check. That's
might right, MTE or speed. I'll let you choose. Basically, it
is Are you trying to dodge and outrun it or are you trying to block
it? A difficulty five by dan? Am I close enough to Fuca too,
not with the GM intrusion. Well okay, wow, so this is
just defense right? Well? How far are you away? She's you three
including Alkali, maybe ten or fifteen feet away from you. They were sprinting
away while you kind of turned your back. This is all happening very fast.
Question before you started? Is this an initiative check or no? No?
Okay, I can put a couple of effort into that, right,
yes you can. Yeah, let's do that. Man eh oh whoa.
That is not only a success, but you've gained a minor effect. And
I see you use might So you hear the howl and the leap at you,
which you see, But you could plant her right foot behind her,
whip out her staff, and just take the bite and fling this predator into
the air away from her as it hits the wall and slams down, shaking
itself and its confusion off. Get down. What I cool? Getting into
trouble? S already? One that leapt over, the one nikel knocked down.
What are you doing with it? How close is it immediate range?
It looks like it is about to leap. I look the leap. Yes,
okay, I'm going to switch stances and bring my sword back behind me
instead of defensive, and I'm going to throw all my might into the sword
as it leaps forward to connect. I'm going to use are all right?
Use your things? The other two of you have made it to the train
ahead of Bijuka MK and well yeah MK, and Monossa has you have made
it to the train. Okay, I have to use it after all right?
Okay, So difficulty five attack role okay, and I'm using my sword
for this, yeah, yeah, okay, I make sure. I wanted
to make sure the right thing yea, if you're attackling is a sword?
Yeah? Oh my asset from That's true, my asset as well as all
right, you caught him before he rolled? Well, okay, difficulty five
down. If I turn around, do I see if you're still outside?
Oh my, you got to be kidding me. Yes, you do.
And you can't do your player bullshit because you just you already used it.
So you can spend an experience to deny it. You can spend an experience
to deny it. I have seven that's been six experience, but I will
one you whatever you do. I may have some stuff. That's fine.
You've failed your attack roll. Is what happened. Okay, gotcha? Gotcha?
Do you spend your experience? You failed your attack role. You will
need to do either a MITE or speed defense check of five. As it
is in the air and you cut just you went like for a low attack
up, but it ends up kind of clawing the blade away as it's leaping
with its bite. And yes and kay, you definitely saw fay. You
could do just that. When you turn, you see your block and fling
the predator and then continue to run back to the train. Okay, yeah,
so you see her do that and then run at you. I uh,
I assume I'm inside the train telling me too, Yes, yeah,
okay, like the front of the train. Yeah, yeah, the front.
You could be at the door which is near like the front side.
Okay, dash, and I what do I see? Like you see your
the train just as you had left it around the console or anything. I
mean, you see the console. You don't see any light ups because you
do not have a focus. It is more or less a blank console.
The screen showing the snow and everything. I'm gonna ancher, gonna ancherly shout
the one person who can start the train is not here. I'm gonna run
back out. Can I see? And oh sorry, I was gonna say
you would. The thing you would see immediately is Manassa run into train MK
right behind her. Manassa run out and pasted m K and then you Fayuka
and you hear her shout the one person who can start the train is not
here. So uh, since I was one of the people who pranked the
rest of us on the last train we were on, right, could I
go and check? Maybe see if I can and turn that thing on?
You can get in and you'd see. If you're in the train, you
would see what Manassa saw, which is a console that has no lights because
you don't have a focus. Can I see it you step on the train,
Yes you do. Yeah, I'm running straight onto that I can I
do? I understand what I suppose I saw Alkalid doing sometime. Check It'll
be difficulty for at my age. Maybe she could win this, you know
what. She can tell us what she sees and we can difficulty for difficulty
for anxiety. What were you doing. You had a difficulty five defense check.
Do I need to roll that first before I try to counter it?
I mean, if it fails or if you succeed, you probably don't need
to counter it. That's up to you. If it says something after a
role is usually pretty specific on that. If it doesn't, then I would
say wait UNTI laugh. Sure, Okay, all right, this is speed
you said, right, or might depends on how you want to handle it.
If you want to block it or if you want to you can see
five yep. Okay, so you fail? Yep? What are you doing
for attempting this? It's like I spend one experience? Uh excuse follow it's
a player intrusion m HM says for food, fortuitous malfunction, the trap for
a dangerous device. I'm assuming this can count. Correct. Machines are a
bit up in the air. That's not going to stop your failed defense role,
but it might at least aid you and the rest overall. Okay,
Uh so uh something around can prevent I guess yeah, no, I see,
I know what I can do with that. So yeah, it'll you'll
still need to you'll still fail, but failure defense, but something else will
happen. Okay, if you're wanting to do that, and I'll just in
case you don't want to spend the xpen hol Resilience is on as enabled.
It also gives me plus one armor. There you go, So you would
take five points of speed damage, so armor can reduce that, of course.
But you try to move out of the way, Nikel, you'd see
this after you've shot one. It slid and hit the ground. You hear
a thump behind you and what sounds like a howl moving away as it slams
into the mountain in your peripheral and you see this one leap over the one
you knock down and sink its fangs into Sert's shoulder before he's able to whip
it away from himself. All right, so that's a floor damage, right,
yeah? Damage or damage okay? Yeah, And when it hits the
ground, it gets itself back up, howls and attempts a sonic attack.
Now that's gonna be for Alkali and Nikel to go ahead and give me a
defense check of any of the kinds into speed or might of five. Yeah,
I'm definitely doing a speed defense, yeah, sir, Okay, I'll
cli you are fine and Nikkel is fine. Both of you are able to
quickly like plugging over of your ears knowing this as this blast of sound erupts.
Can you feel a rumble? But you can. You're on the train.
You recall and you watched carefully as Alkali was able to initiate this train
moving forward. You can repeat it if you so desire. You know where
she turned the speed up and down as well. When there is the emergency,
and you recall that I've got that knotted rope, yes, Leolah in
my pack. Who else is in here with me? MK? MK was
with you? Yes, she followed you and Manassa ran back out. I'll
give it to MK and say, tie one end to the train, throw
the other ender out to them. We don't leave anyone behind. Okay,
speed check of one MK. Success, you're able to quickly hie it,
pass it out. Did you initiate the train? I'll kind of lean out
towards where they are and just shout, get your asses in here, we're
going and start doing what I saw her do. And you put your hand
on one of those ruins, the sigils, and do kind of a grabbing
motion and pull up and the train begins to chug forward. I'm talking about
very nicely all the way through. Absolutely, if you wouldn't mind terribly,
we need to get out of this situation and then we'll treat you to a
nice new sorry about your cloth thing. You hear this, mks. She's
mumbling to the train in itself, and you all hear the train begin to
chug, as well as feel a rumble in the mountains. So I would
have I would have had my bow out already, act yet so you can
do something right. So the one that basically went after ziye, did it
end up like dropping down onto the ground, Yes, it did. He
he was able to fling it off. And that's the one that erupted the
sonic bellow. Okay, So since I succeeded on the bellow while it was
like doing it, do I have a clear shot at its throat? Absolutely?
You do, all right, So I'm gonna go ahead and take a
shot really quick out at its throat. Difficulty free, okay, success,
and your arrow sinks in mid bellow. You still feel the rumble, but
it's been howling for a few seconds at least, and immediately cuts out like
sound as you break whatever part allowed it to do that, But an arrow
was sticking out of its mouth. Now it's kind of shakes its head.
What are you all doing that are not in the train? You've heard that?
If you peek behind you, the train is starting to move. I
have range increase two hundred. I don't know how far the train is from
here. Close that that close? Definitely? Okay, So I'm gonna curse
he wants to get back at the This is the closest to me, you
know, exeting me. Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna just grab Zyrene and
start hauling him to the train. Okay, I'm gonna I'm going to yell
to elk good on the train by got your ass on this? Check?
No, okay, all of you make a difficulty to roll or running if
you do not have the running skill speed check. So yep, you're trained
and running, not just the skill you have. Okay, Yeah, Monossa,
you're able to grab the rope and just hand it to somebody without any
problem, as you like, leap up onto that anxiety. You're doing fantastic.
Your next run check, your next run check gets an asset You've You've
apparently built up enough of this cold resist that your lungs are actually feeling good.
Question is running? Is this running just movement or is an action?
It's both depending on the context. If it's in combat, it's an action.
Okay, all right, so I can't take an action, all right?
Cool? Yeah, you're getting an asset though for your next run check
whenever that is, if you can choose to use. It doesn't have to
be your media. Okay, I'm cutting. All of you are able to
swing yourselves onto the train. Well that road back up. I'm gonna find
the nearest one of these things and uh take in with my sharp shopos.
The train starting to move. Okay, the alarm is still going as you
step onto the train. But go ahead and give me a difficulty. Which
one of you attacking is maybe a better question. I guess if the one
that I attacked earlier is still moving towards us, I will attack anyone it's
got the arrow sticking out of its side as it is limping but still trying
to move, because it's still difficulty five. Difficulty four. Your arrow flies
directly, hits it and it collapses before it moves any further. I have
successive attacks. I guess you do I take down AFO, I can immediately
make another attack on that same turn against a new faux within reach. The
second attack is part of the same action. You can use this ability with
melee attacks and ranged attacks. Nine sast yourself to speed. Of course you
have enough edge, it doesn't matter, and go ahead and make your second
attack. Which machine are you attacking as you lean out of the open door
as the train is moving? Yeah, whatever one's closest to us. Okay,
that would likely be the one that ellowed, So the one that has
an arrow sticking out of its mouth currently, Yeah, if it's still got
its mouth open, I think I'm gonna just try and shoot it through the
mouth. Okay, that's difficulty for as well, and the arrow flies just
over it as it is a little difficult. Now the train is picking up
more and more and more speed. When snower whipping into the train, I
would like I would like to use a player intrusion. What player intrusion need
use? And manassa I would like to use lucky break. Go ahead and
post that for me. Something unexpected happens that is to your advantage, Okay,
for sure, nikelbaate it. There we go, go for it,
Yah, take that experience away. Your arrow flew over. However, it
was enough to distract. Maybe you saw that machine flinch, which is a
little disturbing because they normally wouldn't. But if flinches, maybe tries to move
out of the way, and it happens to jump backward onto the track as
the train slams into it, The screen flickers for a second on the impact.
Snow starts to pile up on the doorway. Close, close the door,
Close the door. I would walk up to the panel and just like
find whatever it is that I need in order to close it, and the
door shuts as Nikkel has stepped back inside. Is everyone okay? Things?
I did it. I made the I made the thing that. Thank god,
we have somebody else that can start a train. I knew she could
do it. I knew she could do it. Well this one did.
It's fine. Even the door before. You're right, you're looking a bit
peaky. You are right, diary, I'm pissed what happened to you.
Damn things one nimble. I've never seen one before, so look against me.
I thought having a bigger, a big a sort to do more damage.
But in some cases, everything loves are always better. What's happened there?
Show me shoulder? Mm hmm. I'm going to try and see what
I can do to help out with that. They almost like I hope you
run into more of them. I'm sorry, what was that? Did you
say that you hope that we run into more of them? Mm hmm?
What is your problem? Why are you that on that stupid just because one
else smarts you feel like you have to go against it again to better about
being smarted? Is about the modifying my technique? Well that's anymore. If
that makes me feel any better, you can modify our your technique when we
are not around fair enough. Okay, I'm glad that I'm glad that we
can come to that agreement. Thank you. I hope your shoulder is better.
By the way, I'm going to go sit down. M Why is
everybody looking so grumpy? That's the first time I've ever seen you lot work
as a team. It was rather impressive. I'm not grumpy. I'm just
a little stressed out. That's all stressed. So that was the most fun
I've had in a long time. That was pretty fun, I will agree.
Can I take an action recovery? You absolutely can? Yeah, the
guns eat me. Okay, it's the alert still going off. No,
it has quieted itself and turned off as you moved through the old avalanche that
you melted away. We're now clearing the pass. Lizard is still going but
it looks like maybe you even can feel it a little bit starting to move
down instead of up. Good thing we didn't stay there longer. Huh.
Yes, I worry if these creatures were here, there will be more.
You know that, yes, But now we know more about them, don't
we. I don't know if that will help us. They were fast,
so we have. We're on our way now. Yes, we are to
wherever we're going, Seattle. You doubt yourself a lot, don't you to
Nickel, just because you've never seen it done. You don't think you can
do it or someone else. We'll do what needs to be done. All
you've ever got to do is survive for the next three minutes. After that,
move on to the next. You clear out of the clouds on the
train and the sight that you saw before. As you begin to dec end
the mountain after you're going through the pass, you see that snow stretching out
across blackened soil underneath it looks like stumps or twigs sticking out of the ground,
any of them almost looking like they've been blown away toward you. You
see a city off in the distance that is more and more fast approaching.
Come see, Come see? Is that it is that it? You're not
asking, You're asking people who have never seen this. Well we can ask
Nevn get your saddles before. Goodness. Thank you, Thank you, Nevin.
Yes, are you? Are you able to navigate where we are now?
Global positioning devices are still working. They may have failed millennia ago,
however, processing I would hold it up so that, like if there is
some sort of a camera or a vision device, he would be able to
see what's in front of us. Thank you. I do believe, based
on projections, that is the destination Seattle, front lines of the war.
We made it. Thank you, Thank you. Evan. You're well,
Alkali. Why are we so excited to go to the front lines of the
war. I'm not excited to go to war. I'm excited to get to
my destination, and the destination is the front lines of war. Well,
Evan, just unfortunate. We've been through this before the war was however long
ago. We don't know what we're expecting, but we should be prepared.
But that's that's where we need to go. That's where our our our journey
began in terms of where we needed to go. At least, this is
the first part of us finishing this thing. We've had basically a war following
us for the entirety of this journey. Yeah, what's the worst that can
happen? We've put death bringers for Damn's sake. Come on, m I
could definitely and I'm hungry. What are we going to do now? A
few minutes? How long does it look like it's going to take? Because
together there from what Nevin said earlier, about thirty minutes. Okay, I'm
going to work my bedroll. Yeah, distance is a while, but yeah,
about nine minutes. I'm going to unroll the remnants of my bedroll on
one of the seats and just go. I trust you'll wake me up if
you need me for anything, cross my ancles. We'll make sure it's important.
Mm hmmm. See you're learning, and I'm just spark out the second
i'd lie down. Just okay, what are the rest of you doing?
Keeping a lookout? Can I see? Nevan? Yeah? Thank you Nevin.
Yes, Manassa, I have shortened the name. Would you like your
full name? Well, yes, I would very much so enjoy my full
name. Understood, Yes, Manasa greater freighter in the land. Ah.
Perfect. Do you mind showing me the map that was on this device of
course in the mass? Quick? Thank you. I'm going to take out
my little journal that I have and I'm going to start pretty much copying it,
and then I'm going to draw these really horribly drawn stick figures of like
dogs next to the train and a bunch of snow. Okay yea. And
well, while this is going on, I'm like, I'm sitting with like
my knees up, and I have Nevin in like on one knee, and
I have my journal on the other, and I'm kind of whispering, and
I go, all right, Nevin, I need you to take some notes.
Understood, all right? So No. Number one is on MK.
Note that she's very strong and only likes to eat beta input added to NK.
I'm actually very beautiful entry excellent, all right? And uh for FUCA,
she's an old crow. I can't fly, but her stick hits very
hard and very stood excellent all right. And nikkeel he is a very clueless
but is an excellent hunter. Ata all right and ziary just note very passionate,
deep sigh understood, Oh not understood, Ada regardless, excellent Alkalai note
curious, irresponsible at times, hard headed, but great friend. Also,
she's your mother eight input. However, the concept of mother does not exist
with my instruction. Well put it in your construction. Then you should be
respectful to your mother. Always good, excellent, and deserves all respect.
However, yes, yes she does. All right. Those are the notes
for now. Now don't go sharing them though. All right, this is
top secret, filed under classified. No one but Nevin may access. Perfect.
Thank you, Nevin, You are welcome, manassa greatest trader in the
land. Oh I love that, uh Nevin? Yes, in care,
I am actually very beautiful. Actually can't you can skip the second part?
Well, referring to me, you can. Just I'm whispering this, by
the way, Oh are you I made Yeah, I made note that I
whispered this, damn Okay. Then then did not, however, Nevin,
Nevin did not. Nevin didn't whisper, but you only heard what Nevin said.
Perfect, okay, Uh Nevin? H who are you talking to now?
I was speaking with Monasa in the land with yes, can we help
you? Yes? That bud Okay, what were you talking about? I
just I'm just curious. Yeah, I mean he's he said, he said,
it's good. Excuse me, Nevin, uh is Manassa your administrator?
No? No, So what are you taking directions from her? Now?
Negative? I have sat classifying data or Nevin for his ears only. I
have no gender anasay, any construct for their ears only. Nevin. Please
note that uh Manassa is a great trader and scavenger, but she also lies
a whole lot, so do not trust her. Okay, it's direct conflicts
what I have been informed of, Nevin dismiss note Nevin, no, stop
giving him order or them orders. Please just started. It's basically saying she's
basically telling Nevin lies about giving me. Nevin back confused, Alkali, It's
okay, Nevin. You can come with me. Yes, take go back
to your mummy. There you go, Nevin, Yes, Alkali, Can
I access what Monosa has told you? Of course you are what you said
it was for your ears only, Nevian, that's what you get. I
am a construct. You know what? MK? In your sleep. I'm
going to place all your rations, not the human ones. You would not
I would, you wouldn't. I am watching you, I'm watching the screen.
I'm watching you. Well, i'm watching you more. Rose was watching
the screen. By the way, those who weren't resting and apping, i'd
be keeping a lookout. I don't know if that means this. Uh yeah,
And that's the main window. So if you're looking outside for sure,
I definitely I woke up from all the noise. Can't because I was lightly
to just closed my eyes and I'm going to activate uh stand watch okay,
and that costs one intellect because you have an intellect edge. Another question,
Dan, Yes, I was one over on my recovery. Does that go
away or does that store there's no? Yeah, okay, cool, you
just heal the max. You're good. Awesome. Yeah, So you can
stay alert and awake for all that and uh yeah, you if you have
to make any perception checks while here in the train, you will like yeah,
as well as stealth, you get a you're trained essentially, so if
you weren't trained in that, you can be now for the next eight hours
while you're in here. But all of you that are paying attention. So
in this case anxiety and nikkel, I would see the city fast approaching,
maybe just a few minutes at most, as you've been basically open ground on
a constant after you left the mountain range. The wind is died down a
bit as you are flying on this train through this snowy wasteland not much longer
to the city. M Are you all done arguing? M H? I
read that it was intended for you to hear Are you done arguing? I
went for say arguing? More so it was playful banter regardless pay attention.
MHM all right should have put up tight in his note as well, Dan,
from from where where we are? Uh? Looking out? Would it
would it be safe to assume I should start slowing down the speed of the
train or is it far enough? Tell telling me about assumptions. Well,
I'm asking you, like if I would be able to calculate whether or not
I should slow down. That's what I'm asking. Yeah, go ahead and
give me an into check just raw in check difficulty three? Okay, I
it did you hear me? You just had to You had to hide or
just roll a lot more time. Sometimes you don't ask questions I'm going to
just work myself because this is this is this is for me to know whether
or not I should so surely can't be that bad. I want to get
off this wild ride, you know what Dan says. And this is where
we're gonna call episode. I'm probably gonna I mean, you're not. Actually
we're going a little late today. As I was watching, is noticed Are
you accepting that? Or are you paying an experience? You know, I
have no choice. It's like I may have known that already, but I
wanted you to say it out loud. I will happily take an experience,
and I will give an experience to Zaire uh since he's not being grumpy with
us, Ziety, go ahead and take your experience for this chance. I'm
pretty sure I'm going to reverse that real soon. All Right, the train
is moving fast, and you're pretty sure you need to slow it down?
Mm hmm. Can I just stand there and look pretty? You already do,
But is that gonna help the train? So if I'm alert, I'm
gonna be like you. Notice you and Nikael would both notice the train is
moving really fast at this city. The city is getting very close, and
we also down and I would start to slow it down. Faster would be
better, I mean slower would be better, but quickly get to wake up.
Hurry and I'm gonna rush back behind a seat. You might want to
rope away crushing again? Yes, so what do you? What are you
doing? Exactly there? I'll call right, no, no, no no.
I'm trying to bring down because I learned from last time. I'm gonna
bring down the speed as much as possible before I'm able to go ahead and
pull the brake. If I notice that it's getting way too close, I'm
pulling that brake. Oh, it's definitely getting way too close. I'm pulling
the brake way too fast. Pull the brack or the alarm is hit all
that hell tight. You pull the brake and nothing happens. It's not working.
It's not working. Hump from the train. What hump from the train
entered the city hillers of snow, ice and metal. I'm gonna go I'm
gonna go with it and go like right, and I'm gonna pop this.
You slip from a strain, squeeze through bars, break the grip of a
creature, pull free, or otherwise get loose of whatever is holding you in
place. Yeah, you can just do that and get out of the train
and all all of that. Would A would I be able to use an
ADVANTA would I be able to use a player intrusion advitangeous malfunction to possibly,
uh make it so the train at least moves slower in some facet or is
there absolutely no way that I can disable some sort of thing to help us
in the situation you can slow it down in those minus society who's already off
the train. I mean, this is all mortally simultaneous. But he's just
dip the fucking rocketed off. He definitely did anxiety blasting off again. Yes,
you can do that. Spend the XP you just got, and uh,
you will give everyone an asset on their jumps out of the train.
Move Okay, I'm gonna wrap myself up in my memory phone blanket. Just
into the nearest Snyder. Okay, go ahead, and everyone who's jumping out
of the train, give me a jump check difficulty three. That is,
in this case it's going to be speed oh difficulty three. But you'll all
get an asset from what Alkali did. So I am trained jumping and jumping
also also me you are the only exception because of that wonderful gem intrusion there,
Alkali, you still need to roll for it this time. I'll take
that. Dan, you get your asset regardless. Do all speed. For
if you don't have jump, roll speed difficulty three. Okay. And for
the trained in jumping, do I use an asset as you said? Is
that what's happened? If you're trained in jumping, you just roll the jump
skill, but you gain an asset. I mean, can I just do
that with speed because I don't think I have put it out. If you
don't have jump, use speed difficulty three, gain an asset. Okay.
Everyone jumps off the train. Most of you kit some sort of snow bank
softly enough. MK unfortunately does not, as she hits and rolls and tumbles,
takes four speed damage as he skips and bounces like a stone over water.
And you see Desirety maybe fifty feet behind you, gently in a getting
himself out of a snow bank. And the train flies forward and slams into
an old one building a few hundred feet away with eruption of fire, and
the building itself begins to collapse. Wait, is this the building that the
zaire is at? Or that is behind to you. The train went forward
there. Now wait is that where I am? No? Okay, okay,
oh my god, you wait, nka jump off jump the train skid
it into the building and yeah, yeah, it's a different kind of caboose
that hit she elbow dropped the b I'm sorry. I can't control the shock
wave hits with air and wind and heat as it rolls over you. The
building slams into another building and teeters on it just barely. Glass and old
meadows shadow shatter and fall down. And after the dust clears, city is
quiet, save the small breeze is everyone Okay. I can't trust you a
lot with anything, can you. No, we woke you up when you
told us that it was important to wake you up right so much. There
was nothing I could do. It was. It was broken, genuinely well.
I tried, Okay, I don't know. I was not my most
graceful fall good moves really all alive. Yes, we are stuck here getting
up out of the snow, and like dusting all the snow off of me.
I love pissed. I stomping over to the group and I say,
everyone be quiet, Okay, we just made a very loud explosion in this
city. We don't know what's here, but every fiber of my being says,
we are not alone here. Do you see anything that we can we
can we can hide in? For now? There are buildings all around us,
Sary you, Fayuka manassa, take a look over there. See if
there's any buildings that we can find that we can rest in, or that
we can take shelter in. Weckome alcomy. Okay, you and I we
will all go this way. We'll look over here. Okay, okay,
all right. As I'm going, I'm going to suggar follow identify the track
tracks. Okay, that is a skill you roll, yep. So what
are you trying to do specifically? While I'm checking these buildings? I want
to see if there's any footprints or any tracks that I can track that are
fresh, to make sure we avoid those as of now. Difficulty six cracking,
m I believe i'd also roll for mine. That is correct, You
would indeed roll if you're looking for danger specifically, you can roll for that.
Difficulty six. Difficulty six still trained, but yeah, anxiety, all
right, okay, so you've find old tracks, anxiety, you find old
tracks but they are there. You don't know how long. I mean,
it's snow, but they seem to have. It's more the tracks were made
and then they froze and got snowed over, probably made in mud on a
not so frozen day. Manassa, you've heard rumors at one point in your
travels that there is an unseen danger something you've heard of before people. I
mean, you know the forbidden Lands there supposed to be like you come here
and you die and you don't come back, and something about certain land having
spirits that attack you when you move through it. And you're pretty sure that's
somewhere around this city, if not in multiple places, and you don't know
where, but that that's You've got a lot of red flags up on that
all right, diary. Yeah, I don't want to scare you, but
we need to be very careful where we walk the ground in front of me,
where the air. I don't know something that I've heard. It's just
I have a feeling. I've heard stories of spirits that attack just without being
provoked, okay, even just by walking. Oh so angry place. This
it is cold, freezing more than it was up there. The wind is
we need to get going and find something anything like my focus not within the
immediate range I need to roll for that. I know that it's about a
thirty foot range for your focus in general. So smoke rises from where the
train has slammed into it. Let's not go quite there, just in case
that spreads. Okay, m hmm. I'm gonna take steps forward very slowly.
There you all going the cities around you just to be I pointed probably
just to the left of wherever we were for zayre Manassa and and fey Yuka
okay. And I pointed to the right for myself Alkaline Okay. So what
I'm going to do is I'm going to take just some junk metal that I
had in my sack and I want to like toss it out in front.
We have a few feet or something, not a few feet, but like
maybe six feet or anywhere between six to ten feet to see where it lands.
And I see like, so I'm gonna explain to them and say,
what if I toss this, I'll toss it. Okay, I need a
roller now the toss metals nothing on the ground, no spirits. Oh,
I shall go in that direction. We're gonna go like really slow, just
kind of foot move in front. Maybe we should have Uka leap not to
have, you know, have her killed and all, but because she can
see things that we can't. Mm hmm. Could you think she would already
been talking if she can see it? Right? I mean, I could
be wrong. Just looks back at for Yuka. I'm thinking it's it's just
chatty noise. Sometimes it's not. It's not a manual m okay uh.
Could I use the player intrusion I've never done before and it's rather exciting.
I means, unless there's a contextual reason why not. In general, yes,
I serendipitous landmark. You hit the little U chat icon there, it'll
post it chat for me, ah to show us where is a good direction
to go in for safety. Ah ah, many good ideas in this.
Once you've hit this city, just it seems like the path is lost or
you are a trailmark or a landmark or a simple way the terrain accordor bends
suggests the best path forward at least from this point Yep deduct and experience,
so you absolutely can do that. So you've seen the map that Alkali has
pulled out money many times, which is where Nevin resides as well. And
you saw a kind of distance, you saw where you were going to be
heading, and you saw the point that you were supposed to go for wherever
this signal came from, and you're able to make out some sort of it's
off past the city. But because the snow is a lot lighter here,
and frankly half if not more, of the buildings are barely skeletons, you
can see through them. It's just very odd, albeit kind of bent and
broken over spire that at one time had like a wide disc at the top,
and it's kind of sitting underneath it off in the distance. But that
looks like that's the direction you need to go from where you are. You
need to go over there in that direction. I don't know if it's safe
or not, but over there. Okay, So those of you who went
and followed Nikel around can go with him. We're sticking with you right now.
Okay, that's unclear? Oh kay? With the three of you,
you begin walking that way as are to you were in the lead, were
you still throwing or you just occasionally did just that one time? Well,
if she seems pretty sure, so he's gonna put all this. I'll be
packing snowballs together. I'm not sure what he's doing or why. Sure,
but if it's movement, if we're trying to entice something out or something,
I'll just throwing snowballs. Okay, sure, you're throwing snowballs, and you
do that and occasionally just kind of flop into the snow ahead of you.
But you're heading toward that that strange landmark, that old building that's broken in
half. Mhm okay, anxiety could you give me? Did you give me
a I'm going to say intelligence check difficulty three mm hmm challeg mm hm hm
sixteen. Okay. You see the snowballs and they do nothing, and maybe
occasionally I'll I think, maybe I'll throw one more piece of metal out.
It thinks and it hits, and as you look at it, it starts
to glow, almost like it has heat. Very hat that idea is not
natural? Is that a spirit? Can I see anything happening with my focus?
Go ahead and give me a perception check difficulty too. That would be
intellect if you don't perception skill as an at twenty, there have been so
many of this episode. My goodness, Yeah, you're looking at it,
and sure enough you see the metal starting to glow, and you immediately get
warning across your vision due to the focus. The spirits are very loud,
warning radiation, immediate danger. This is not safe. They're saying it is.
Okay, well listen, it's a dangerous it starts to band it back,
like like you said about the batteries. Radiation. I was not there
for that is it's something that could kill you, ah kill Okay, And
then he turns around and uh grabs knots about hand and uh kind of puts
his hand on the shoulder of okay and say, we need to go down.
Let's go, let's go, let's go. We need to be careful
we walk because if there's more of these than we take the path we took
before there was nothing there. All right, Well, we need we need
to warn the others just in case, because they I don't even know if
if they know. Yes, we need to find some way to get warm.
Is there anywhere around here, just shelter. I'll be looking into the
buildings. Most of them as the battle we came, Yeah, most of
them very skeletal holes, blasts and metals, shattered siety kind of looks over
to the train with all the fire and stuff. I shrug. Honestly,
it's not a bad idea at this point. Yeah, we get closer to
the train heat. I mean, I'm sure in a cawin remust a new
one if you've found out that we were still by the crash site, because
you know, maybe nothing too close to feel the heat, I don't know.
It's better than standing ahead and knowing nothing. Agreed, All right,
and as we see three start to trudge off, we'll go back together group
real quick? What did the spirits tell you? I would have my focus
on and I would be looking around very intensely since we are in some sort
of danger. Yeah, and you'll succeed automatically for a difficulty to perception like
that, you could just same thing, and though you wouldn't get the heavy
warnings at one point or another while you're walking, was there any particular direction
or like what we're how are you navigating? Is maybe my better question here?
Well, if there is a I don't know the layout of Seattle,
but if the the transport came into some sort of terminal train station or what
have you, the equivalent, Uh, I would have assumed that they would
have went to the left of the line and we would have went to the
right of the line. Sure, for sure, I had just directed them
to try and find some shelter and uh, you know, someplace we can
sort of meet up and hold up. Okay, okay, maybe maybe Nevan
has a has a map or something of this place. Nevin, keep keep
your voice down, Lisa, understood, Well, not that down, a
little bit more up so I can hear you understood. Okay, perfect,
Nevin, Do you have a nap of downtown Seattle by any chance? One
moment, process, I do my best to zoom in the map you already
have. Apparently, Oh that's perfect. Yeah, yeah, Currently you are
moving away from the destination you originally intended away from. You will want to
go north and west. You are currently going south and east. Can you
possibly give me some sort of like a zoom in on on the location we're
trying to go, Like what it looks like? Something like that? One
moment, it seems the building you are looking for is the Pacific Science Center,
specific Science Center. Okay, Nickel, do you do you see do
you see anything? Can you see it? Take a look? All right,
go ahead and give me a perception check difficulty for natural twenty sus my
god perceive seventh today he sees color, he sees music, sound. I
like it. I mean, yes, uh, you you can see it
at the major effect. You look at the map, you look at landmarks.
You're able to kind of track some of the buildings that you think are
the same, even if they don't quite exist anymore. And so this,
yeah, you can find It's maybe be a five minute walk. It's not
that far. This must be that building there, This is that building if
those do? You see it there just in the distance. Yeah, I
see it. I see it doesn't seem that far of a walk. Okay,
okay, and Nickel, let's let's let's go get the others and let's
go. Okay, okay, slowly and cautiously we move, okay, And
you do so, moving kind of a bit of backtracking, heading back toward
the line itself. And with that major effect as well, you're able to
see the other three of them walking back toward the train. There they are
right there? Are they walking in the train? I wave at them.
I'll definitely say that. You can kind of see the group reconvening, so
to speak. Ah, he caught us in my warmth. Well, technically
they were walking back here too, so I mean they could have had the
same idea. Where are you going, going back towards the warmth to see
if there was any down There's no good. We found the building, as
I say, I found the building where the transmissions coming from. It's just
there right northwest direction. Is he pointing towards the danger area? He's partial.
I mean that danger area was maybe a bit restricted because you had also
rolled very well, So you're it's in the same direction, but you might
be able to skirt around it. Can't take a direct line there, but
we might be able to box around it. Where was this danger that you
spoke of? Was it war machines? No? No, same as those
power cells you've tried to take back at the factory radiatation. Ah, don't
look confused. That's what they told me. What do we do then,
Well, we can't go that way. We suggest not going there. Yes,
we don't go there entirely. No, we just don't go to skirt
around it. Where though, do we know where this danger is on the
ground. I have the map, I can navigate us, but we have
to keep our eyes peeled to see if there's anything. Does the map?
Does it mark on the map you can see where this danger was. Well,
they told me that time. Sometimes they're chatty, sometimes they're not.
But Zairi he was throwing feeding the metals. It an offering. All right,
Uh, Fayuka you and Alkali you will lead the way. You show
us which way to go. As Alrey looked at Nikkel and he kind of
smarts like in approval. Could I request someone with a weapon? Rights?
Thank you. I will be right behind you and follow behind Diary you guard
the rear. Time for a lovely walk on the snow again? Yay are
you ready? Oh? Do you not like snow? Now? You seems
so excited. I regret that now it's actively dangerous just in case of something
the rare sounds good. Good to know, and since I'm navigating, that's
my navigation skill. It reduces the difficulty by three steps. Okay, well,
at least because of Fayuca and Nikel, you don't need to roll again
to navigate to the spot you already know that exists and to avoid the danger
and the pot spots I'll call them because of they're both in that twenties.
I'm gonna let them roll with that for a bit. Perfect So we would
see you all walking through alleyways and being towering, going under towering skeletons of
these large buildings, scraping the sky. And occasionally if you could put like
hands out and you'd have to skirt around an area, maybe duck through the
skeletal building, just to get out of the way of these spirit hot spots.
And as you're moving forward, you see building that hell it spotted,
or at least that broken building that was leaning over, and how Kali.
Looking at your map, you would see maybe is that like an old one?
Sign letters are missing from age, but some of them pack sign her
back Pacific Sign Center. This is it, bless you. No, never
told us the name of the place. It's the Pacific Sign Center. We're
here inside, all right, Well lead the way, okay. Do you
do you see anything? Do I no hotspots within sight? Mm hmm looks
safe. Maybe angry one seems to be back there. I don't know why
old ones did to them, but I don't think it was nice as long
as they're far from us mhm. But now a number of arches along this
long building complex that is mostly destroyed. Many of the arches are broken in
pieces. One of them still stands. You see a dome off in the
back of this complex, mostly intact from where we are. Can we see
any sort of like a door or entry way to that dome without moving up
to the dome? No? All right, slow and study. If you
could please keep your eyes your eyes peeled. Okay, Can I focus on
looking for an entrance if I roll my identify thingy I think you can roll.
Yeah, you can roll for an entrance there. That's something important.
I'll allow that for sure. Difficulty three, Yeah, no problem. You
are able to as you are all kind of skirting around towards this dome able
to find an entrance looks fairly frozen shut admittedly, but you haven't actually walked
up but yet. I will point to the door. Check that area right
there, right, we're moved up to it at this point, right,
Dan, Yes, Okay, Do I see any sort of of any glyph
or anything like that signifying that it's still active? You do? Occasionally it
looks like it almost shorts out but then flickers back on. How with what
I can see? How strong does the door look? Metal? Door?
Without inspecting it more than just looking at it metal door, Okay, I
while she's scanning it, I'm gonna go up and like inspect it. I
mean just from just a real quick plan to like maybe hit it or like
knock on it a couple of times. It's pretty thick metal. Okay.
I'd like to try and see if it's possible to open, and if not,
then we can take further action. It does open and it's unlocked.
Are we ready? This is what we came here to do. It is
Come on mine, let's guess some more trouble, shall we? Let's do
it and I'd walk in. Okay? I follow you step into the dome.
The doors slam shut behind you as you make your way through. Dim
lights flicker on as you enter in looks like an old reading room. You
see old one, probably technology or something hanging from the ceiling. Some of
its snapped off and hit the ground. And there is what looks like yet
another old one lift in the back. Are you ready to take another ride?
No? Are you in the mood to be digested? Zi? No?
I don't want no offense. But can you slow it down? Looks
like for you slow it down? I just don't want to get on anything
else that goes whatever never I I guess, so he kind of gently is
looking around. When are you going first? I'll go fairly large lift,
which is already open via its doors, before we go down. Just doing
a quick survey with my focus. Does it look like there's anything of importance
in this room? Depends what you're looking for. I suppose you see some
of the old one tech that was hanging from the ceiling, some of it
smashed on the ground. Looks like maybe there were some vehicles of some kind,
but probably not functioning. Okay, I said old one tech. I
did what difficulty do? After all this? Do what I knew it the
scavenge difficulty? SI, Oh my god. Okay, never seen this tech
before. Oh okay, let me take that away. Oh effort, Yeah
you are. We're able to find let me see, that'd be some sort
of oh, for lack of a better description, cannon. Although it's much
smaller than m case, you have no idea what it does. You've not
seen it before many fun where was it was next to one of those vehicles.
She was able to like yanked it off of the vehicle's side. You
just hear this like loud like metal, like ripping noise, like tearing,
Manassa, we could do this after we might not come back and uh okay,
come on as Alcady gets in on the lift as well. Yeah mm
hmm, Hey, what's like yours? Mkay? A bit smaller? That
is like mine, but smaller Manassaka barrowish. Maybe let's talk about it later.
Okay, I mean while we're here, what am I doing? Can
I? We're here? Okay, you're right, you're okay, okay,
okay, I only fight to clarify. I only find the small cannon right
correct, Okay, I partly like after getting the canon, I do like
a quick like like look, all right, I won't be any more thorough.
Let's go. Okay. Does it look like there's any sort of panel
on it? Absolutely? There is. It lights up when you get onto
the elevator taking a look at it doesn't have like an up a down,
a specific like floor. It has a slot for an orb. Okay,
I take out my blue orb and I inserted in the slot. You're a
soft administrator access granted. Her name's Alkalai. I don't know we're gonna take
us, does it doesn't have any other like, any options in particular.
Uh, it just just uh sasa project ops up, Sasha, okay,
uh I would press on that option. Okay. The door shuts and you've
been into feel it to send after a moment the sides, but you weren't
quite sure we're glass until now show you a massive underground building. Plants are
growing along the sides vertically. You see small machines moving back and forth through
all the plants, tending them, and it seems to go down hundreds of
feet, hundreds and hundreds, and the elevator stops and the lights go out.
Identify yourselves, m hunts Alkali Nevin? Uh what do we say?
He's yo? What? Nevin? I don't understand the question. Identify yourselves?
Yeah, we've been looking for you. Are you friend or foe?
Friend? Who? That's two questions in one. We heard your transmission,
and yet you steal. I'm sorry what? No, I don't steal.
That's not good for business. What is it that you have picked up?
She's just outside before getting on the elevator? Was it yours? I scavenge
it wasn't being used, so I'm using it? Manassa, No, no,
no, don't give her attitude. I'm not. I'm telling her the
truth. You will put it back, she will put it. Are you
going to use it? Manassa. I'm just I'm literally asking because literally anything
up there is dead and gone. And do you know do you know that
I'm aware? You are aware? So you just want to leave it there
to rock and just rust It hasn't purpose. It is not rusting, all
right, well, final put it away? It has purpose? Are you
Sasha? The voice is the same, but I hope not what I am
Sasha Roll. In the episode h Nasa is gonna get a swift kick in
the ship. Celeb agree with her, is going to get away. Vanasa
has a backpack that's just jingling, dropping off everywhere she goesets are full.
She literally can't not make noise when she moves. Used to and she's like
cross her arms, to cross her arms and be like, I don't have
anything. I don't know what you're talking about. No, she didn't,
she didn't live. She literally she could be completely honest about it about it.
Here's the thing, is like, as soon as you want to know,
yeah, she wants well, she wants the news. She'd be like,
well, it's being used, and she's just like yes, and she's
like, oh wait, I fine, I'll hold her on. She's glad
she didn't drop the lift on us. Well, it went very long today.
Thank you players for being willing to do that needed to. I don't
get to a certain point that we just did before next episode, the final
episode. Well, let's go around and do some shout outs real quick,
because I and we've gone over and I like to respect my player's time as
best as possible, so we'll do this quick. But yeah, let's uh,
let's go around and we'll start with we'll start with all Millie, so

was literally the sled. That's good, thank you. Whack hi everybody.
I'm Wax Steven. Normally I am the GM of Doom, but I am
one of the many players of Doom and uh, Nikel's getting serious. This
is uh, this is what we came here for it's time to stop screwing
around and unsayah, we have an episode that lasts an hour. May May
Yeah, I Uh, I do a bunch of stuff here on table story.
I I gm a bunch of things. Uh. We've got a special
going on for Witchcraft and Wizardry tomorrow uh. And it is the last one
of the school year for Witchcraft and Wizardry. It's called Demon Lord and Desires
uh. And it is a it is a a Cannon's story that I integrated
into Witchcraft and Wizardry that was based on a story that Mergles wrote when she
was fourteen fifteen years old, and it's been really great and it's screwed with
everybody. So I always enjoy that. So make sure you check that out
because it's gonna be the last Switchcraft and Wizardry episode for a little while while
I'm working on year three, so make sure you're there for that same time
as this show and Friday, I've got rhyme of the Frost Maiden, which
is a show that I do with a bunch of wonderful people, including Technique
there and it's just it's just such a good experience, a good show.
Make sure you check it out. D and D fifth Edition Running Rhyme of
the Frost Maiden Module from D and D. And it's just week after week,
it's just been just been so good. Everybody's been knocking out of the
park. And of course on Saturday, we have the wonderful Cerebrum Project.
Who are special guest tonight is uh is GMing and starring into Yeah, it's
it's it's a it's a very special, brilliant, so good. Oh my
god, for characters you've changed. Yes, we have a special guest tonight.
Pumpkin Marry is here. I'm not gonna lie. I actually I don't
know why I thought this, but I literally thought that Peb was like she
had those answers recorded and you were the whole episode. I don't know why
until she thought that, he was just yeah, and I'm just like,
dang, these are really good, like pre records. How did what you
would do? As just put that back on? Make sure you check out
Cerebrum Projects. That's a two pm Eastern on on Saturday. It's so so
good and Uh, there's just so many amazing things that get done on that
show on a weekly basis. And so many people are involved, and BB
is somehow trying to uh manage the cats that are running around to the little
kittens of them at least. Yeah, pretty much. Yeah, that's part
of the reason why when you said that, I was like, Nope,
nope. As for my end of session stuff, I'm going to give an
XP to Fayuka for for sort of just helping everybody stay on their ship.
And I think, uh, I think I am going going to Oh,
I'm gonna I guess I'll take the extra XP. I was debating on that
and study a machine. I think I'm gonna take the XP. Okay,
perfect, thank you, WAC, thank you, and heck hello Technique.
Come. I stream on the stream site called speech at Technique with no you
know E is a Q and on Twitter is at Technique TV no you know
each is a T in the V and at Anxiety Here. You can catch
you on another show on Fridays at five pm Eastern as Tarriella. And it's
been it's been crazy on both these shows. I it hasn't hit me yet
that the last episode has coming, but it will hit me next week,
so expect all right, man, the chat Paul chaps in the chat.
Go ahead, go do it. I always going to do it now global
and I never I never thought in a thousand years that I have a global
EMO, even if it's just for a day. That's that's a huge accomplishment
for me. And normally I don't celebrate accomplishments. So a lot of people
that know me very very closely know that I'm extremely humble, sometimes damagingly humble,
because I don't recognize things that I should be extremely proud of. So
this one I'm celebrating. I made a post. They're gonna announce it all
at the end of the week. They do a different thing now where they
do a pod chat recap instead of just focusing on one person to avoid negativity.
But it's been all positive stuff. I will say the compliments have been
the best part team so far. So that really just these are people that
are really nasty. I've seen these people before. I've seen them before,
so that was a that was a big heartwarming. And people that I looked
up to since I was a young adult is commenting, which is holding back
some emotions. So Famelia is so amazing to have you back. I look
up to you so much. With voice acting and just in general. Ayuka
is the person I've always needed in my life as a close friend, be
honest with you, just to hit me with a stick if if I keep
thinking too much, which is which is something I take a heart and everybody
on the show, Falin who's my best friend, Kat who's very very close
to me as well, and me and Whack became pretty close over this time.
This is this is hard and me and Dan knew each other forever since
he was forced feeding me bakery goods. And it's hard. It's hard,
man, It's hard not to get emotional about this and where we're not like
leaving each other, but just being brought into a family that I can escape
with has been the biggest It's been the biggest gift for all my years on
Twitch. So I want to thank everybody in this amazing community for allowing me
to be here. Now. I want to give my experience, give experience
to Fijuka because she made all but everyone gave her experience for everything I wanted
to give. So I'm gonna give it to Nikel because they bonded in the
beginning of anxiety and it seems like Nikel actually listened to Xiety. He's like
actually taking lead. Anxiety noticed it, and he was very very proud.
I don't know who's just older than who, but Anxiety kind of looks like
looks down, looks up, look not look up to him, but looks
at him like I didn't mean to say that, but like his little brother,
so to speak. Because I'm guessing. So what you're saying, Anxiety
is to blame for Nikkel being so uptight. Now NASA is going to figure
that out. Figure it out, then Stele a thief anyway, it's that
for business. So yeah, I'm gonna give the experience to him, and
I'm this is the last episode. I'll take an experience that'll put me at
eight total and that will uh oh, that will grant me my tear up
here you go leave, Yeah they will, oh very good. I was
gonna avoid it, but after that that wolf thing actually really puts me off.
All right, thank you tech. Yeah it's not for a long winded
but I just wanted to thank everybody. That's all right, that's all right.
We were already already over and I was gonna say thank you everybody playing
and watching. He went and he d oh, yes, I was gonna
get to her. Don't worry, I was thanking. I appreciate you making
sure I don't forget her whack I actually do. I'll be sassy, but
it's a nice reminder. I was just thanking everybody, and the segue was
going to be and thank you, pe B. She's been here since the
beginning of the episode. Yeah we didn't know, but wow, yeah she
was here and we weren't sure when you would get there. So I was
here. My god, she deserves the biggest virtual wait so wait, so
did you hear like are before starting the session? She's been here the whole
time. You gouber like going off? But could you shout yourself out?
Yeah? Today I'm Peeb. You can find me at Twitch and Twitter at
Pumpkinberry. I also do some stuff here on table Story, which Wack already
mentioned this reven project on Saturdays, and I absolutely have a novel worth of
blackmail material from listening to the entirety of the break and the starting soon before
the streams. So that's that's it. Actually, you guys can't tell that
I'm smiling. I'm one joking there. Yeah, I'm just I'm just tucking
around with I got nothing. I've just learned something. For the first time
ever. Peep was muted at the start of the show, continued to be
muted, and it was totally deliberate. And I also I also didn't have
my headphones on during the pre show or the break just out of respect for
you guys, So don't worry about that. I've got nothing to hide,
but I want to hear that noise anyway. Thank thank you so much for
having me on. It was a pleasure. Yeah, that's it. That's
all I got. Thank you for saying yes, because that's the thing that
we've planned for since the beginning, because I was like, I don't want
to choice all voices. Good lord, Yes, go follow p P please
and thank you and watch the show she does, just like watching the shows
that Whack does. And I'm domestic Dan GMA consequences today and uh, we've
got one left and that's it and then this show is abidden. So thank
you everybody for being here, and we will see you next week for the
finale. Thanks for sticking around late. I don't think we'll go this late
next time. We just need to excuse you. I the end of session.
I am taking an experience and I'm giving one to someone. Yeah,
you're sorry, I back, thank you. I was actually because it has
to be for a reason that nobody else has done, right, sure,

ORB that activated the elevator. Okay, sorry, Oh that was it.
