Speaker 1: Good ebing ladies and gentlemen, welcome back. It is us
Dragon's Creed Gaming and you are joining us for more
Shadow Run pay data. That's right, we're back. We had
to take a break last week, although the order of
episodes you probably won't notice that, but we played some
zombie side last week. But you'll hear that probably at
the end of this campaign. So you're lucky you didn't
have to take a break. We did, but we're back.
Rejackere to go. But as always, before we get started,
be sure you stop by the old Facebook page, keep

Help us out with that algorithm, help us get in
front of more people and grow the show. And if
you feel so inclined, if you've got a few extra
coins you want to toss in the Dragon's hoard, check
us out over on Patreon, where you can get early
access to all of our episodes, weekly early access some
week monthly artwork, and access to our Patreon only exclusive
actual play series for Warhammer Fantasy. We've been playing right now.
It's been a lot of fun so far, it's going
to get crazier so and as always, thank you to
all of our patrons who are already part of that.
We appreciate you guys, and your patronage goes a long
way around here, so thank you. I'm your host, a great,
unclean one, and I am joined by most of the
usual crew. Scar is m i A right now. Don't
know where he is or what he's doing. He has
not responded to messages. He's creeping in idle mode over
on Discord right now. So yeah, hopefully he'll join us.
If not, as I was telling the guys, no I
say around here, fuck him, you know, that's that's just
how it is. So anyway, our usual usual round the table,
and uh we've got a special guest joining us tonight too,
So tell us who you are, who you're playing, and
anything else you want to tell the listeners. We'll start
it off with Sean as always at our side. How's
it going going well?
Speaker 2: Going? Well?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm playing Franklin Nichols goes by Vaults, the homeless
hobo mage that uses electricity, and uh yeah, got to
play some board games last week, so that was pretty fun.
Speaker 2: And then I think we're on for next week Old.
Speaker 1: World right, Uh, yeah we are. Yeah, I forgot about that.
I'm on call this week. I'm on call tonight, so
I'm luckily it hasn't been too bad. But if I
have to step away, that's why. But uh yeah, I'm
gearing up. I actually I've had a couple of nights
this week to actually sit down and start reading the
rule book properly, just a cup of tea, put on
some music, and it's fucking great.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 1: It just it feels like old Warhammer is coming back,
and it's really it's really hitting me in the nostalgia hard.
So I'm really enjoying it so far. So I'm really
looking forward to actually playing a game. Yeah, it'll be great. Cool.
Anything else going on? Anything else? Uh, we're functioning.
Speaker 3: Nope, base week, Yeah that's true.
Speaker 1: All right, well we will head it on over it
to the Great White North. Aaron, how are you tonight?
Speaker 5: I'm doing pretty good. Actually, yeah, I had a good
productive day. I got to see ground WIRET and Willie,
which is our version of a groundhop that predicts the future.
It's a psychic crowd hop.
Speaker 1: Yeah it sounds. It sounds way better when you put
it that way.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's incredibly elderly. But when I was a kid,
they opened the box one year and he was just dead,
So that's that's a step up.
Speaker 4: What does it mean? Does it mean more winter or no?
Speaker 5: They declared officially he didn't see his own shadow, which
makes sense because.
Speaker 3: He's anything right.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I know that, they start I did that anyways. Yeah. No,
I've been having a pretty good week, just really cracking
through a few rule books on my end, getting into
into Room Quest. Every time I read it, I learned
new stuff about the Lord, because like it's like a
huge part of that, you know, join a cult, it's
always good.
Speaker 1: I'm pretty much. Yeah, well we I suppose we can
tell our listeners that Adam and Aaron are probably gonna
be joining me at gen Con this year and we
are going to be all running some games. So oh yeah,
we've submitted everything to gen Con for early events submission,
so you know, hopefully that means our events will actually
get approved. We won't know for a couple more weeks,
but uh, we got everything in way before the deadline,
so that's good. I'm gonna be running some Alien and uh,
Aaron is gonna be running some my belief room Quest.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm running the room Quest quick start adventure, so
if anyone's into just learning a bit about room Quest.
And then I'm also running a couple of games of Pathfinder.
Speaker 1: Second, that was Pathfinder. Yeah yeah, cool, all right. And
then Adam, I know you're doing some Shadow Run stuff.
I can't remember you doing anything else.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I'll you know, I'll talk about that a
little bit later when we come to me.
Speaker 1: Okay, cool cool, Well anyway, yeah, we'll let you a
little more about that when when the time comes. But yes,
Dragon's Greed will be uh it will be in almost
full force, I would say, running some games for you folks,
So that'll be cool.
Speaker 5: And yes, tonight I will be playing shock Me Lard
aka Ford. He is currently down a horn, but his
heart is still technically beating. We'll see.
Speaker 1: I'm still alive for the moment. Yes, so excellent. Uh well,
I want to say I thank you both for having
your artwork ready when I got into the channel.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 1: I'm very excited to see that not triggered. So that's
pretty cool. It's a good start here.
Speaker 3: I like that.
Speaker 1: So yeah, uh, Adam r GM. What do you got
going on? Man?
Speaker 4: Oh that's me.
Speaker 7: Hi.
Speaker 4: My name's Adam. I'm your game master. Will be playing
everybody other than the guys that these guys are playing.
I have been, you know, working and uh, checking out
a couple of podcasts. I started listening to Sinless, the
real one, not the new second one that is has
sprung up, which is a little weird. It's uh. I
don't know if you guys are you know, in the
loop on this, but there's a second shadow Run podcast
that's come out, also called Sinless. It's the same name.
It's a little confusing. I let them know that there's
already a thing called that, but you know whatever, maybe
it's good. I don't know. But the classic Sinless Classic,
we'll call it that. I've been listening to that. That's
pretty good. I'm enjoying it. It's fun, it's got some
interesting characters, and I'm enjoying that. What else? Still working
my way through the shadow Run origins with the Old Schoolers,
going through the Old School Adventures, and started watching the
new season of True Detective season four. It's fucking awesome.
Speaker 1: I've heard many good things about it.
Speaker 4: It's so good, so far. It's so good. I can't
I can't wait to watch more of it, but I
have you because they're releasing them like every week, and
it's it's a struggle to not binge. I wish I
could binge. So that's why I've been up to mostly.
But yeah, so gen Con that's coming up, right. I'm
gonna be running a couple of games. I got two
Shadow Run games. It's gonna be Shadow Run Anarchy for
the sake of speed and two Dungeon Crawl Classics games
while I'm out there, and that should be enough to
get me free access to the convention, which is pretty rad.
I am not sure yet when those are gonna be
available for people to check out and sign up for.
But one of them is a special thing for fans
of this show. It's going to be called the Kingdome Kerfuffle,
which is fun to say. But the other team that
was involved in the Kingdome it's gonna be special, one
shot thing, one time only for four people to play
as the other team during the Kingdome events, and that
stuff will become cannon for the show. So as soon
as that's available, we'll make sure that it gets blasted
out on the Facebook page, and I'll spam it everywhere
that I spam everything else. Four seats only, and I
think I'm charging five thousand dollars for it. No, that's
not right. It's less than that. It's way less than that.
I think it's I think it's like ten bucks. But yeah,
so it's gonna be a one time thing. So if
you're did, if you like the show, you can sit
down with me and I will be ridiculous and we
can play.
Speaker 3: It'll be fun.
Speaker 1: Event registration for gen Con opens up on May nineteenth,
so we still have while because yeah, early event submission
just ended or ends next week, and then they have
regular events submission I think goes until the beginning of March,
so they're still accepting events. The schedule isn't even done yet,
so it'll be a while before. But yeah, this was
the first time independently I'll be running stuff at gen
Con in person, So I don't know. If getting in early,
I assume that's probably gonna guarantee us a little bit
more than if it was late. But I suppose there
was a chance it might not happen, but we shall see.
So when that is all said and done, we will
let you folks know, and yeah, it'll be good ship.
Speaker 4: There's a there's one more podcast I've been listening to.
It's it's not a Shadow Run podcast. It's been my
jam lately, but I've been listening to this one Pathfinder
one called What the Dice. It's pretty interesting and we
got a special guest tonight. You can probably tell a
little bit MO about that show.
Speaker 7: So I guess that's my intro time. Hi. I am
Dan the GM.
Speaker 8: I am the GM and the insanity that had started
What the Dice and currently runs What the Dice.
Speaker 7: So a little bit about us.
Speaker 8: We are we like to play the cork up a
little bit, so we actually homebrew everything. We use the
core books as just kind of a guide to get
everything going, and then we use it for leveling, but
everything else is kind of home brewed, or is homebrewed,
I don't know how you want to word it. And
we're actually going to be moving into Shadow Run for
a second season. We're gonna be doing a fifth edition,
and we're actually doing something that I haven't really seen
anyone else do, And I'm actually homebrewing Shatter Run, a
different worlds and everything.
Speaker 1: So it sounds like a lot of work.
Speaker 8: It's been about a year writing so so so what
we've done or what I've done, because it's mostly my
insanity that decided this was a great idea. If you
listen to season one, they're on a planet called Narratova. Well,
the story I want to tell doesn't work on Earth,
so I have redesigned near Atova as an entire planet,
like with actual bigger country like with countries and their
own politics and all of that, while mixing in the
shadow Run lore to keep it true to Shadow Run. Yeah,
it's been an interesting thing. So it's all the whole
campaign is going to take place in a utopian city
called the Golden City, and that's all I really can
talk about without giving anything away.
Speaker 4: So that sounds pretty nice.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think. I think where we're at.
Speaker 8: Is I think we're going to be releasing the beginning
of that at the season two in about I don't know,
three four months is I think what our timeline is
looking at, depending on my editing schedule, if I can
finish up the last bit of what I need to
finish before getting it released, all right.
Speaker 1: And where where can people find? Uh find? Your show? Dan?
Speaker 8: So we are on all major streaming platforms as What
the Dice. You can find us on Twitter x, twitter Verse,
whatever you want to call it, as I believe What
the Dice pod We're on Blue Sky, Facebook pretty much.
If you go to anywhere that's What the Dice, I'm
pretty sure you'll be able to find us. You'll find
a like very brightly colored purple blue D sick or
D eight before it's the foot hurting one before.
Speaker 4: The yeah the calib.
Speaker 8: Or if you head on over to what the Dice
dotweeble dot com. I actually have a link to everything
that we are available on. I also have a link
tree that I can shoot you guys if you want that, Yeah.
Speaker 1: Shoot me, shoot me a private message with whatever you
want me to link in the show notes and I
will be sure put that in for you.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 8: Absolutely uh And without giving out anything, I will be
playing the NPC known as Maggot Mike.
Speaker 4: I love it, oh, you.
Speaker 1: Know, as a follower of Miracle, whenever I hear the
term maggot, it makes my diseased black heart, you know,
beat a little bit more so. Well, welcome to the show.
Welcome to the show, Dan, Happy to have you, Thanks
for joining us tonight.
Speaker 7: I'm glad to be here.
Speaker 1: And uh yeah, obviously you care more about the show
than Skar does, so you know, just got that going
for you. So shah gotta, that's that's the rule. You
don't show up. We talked ship. Everybody knows this. That's
you know, it's on the contract that they all signed.
Speaker 3: So you know I never received.
Speaker 1: Don't don't. Don't cut that part out anyway. Cool. So, yeah,
I'm the great on Cleveland. I'm your host. I'm playing
a thrac better as Knuckles, the orc bouncer, biker heavy
weapons guy who uh had to put the team on
his back last week and uh man that he had
to fight John Wick and uh eventually, eventually we got
the better of him, but it took a lot of
fucking effort, and we blew a dude up with a grenade,
which is pretty epic. That was probably my favorite part
was the grenade toss.
Speaker 8: Oh did you guys get to use chunky salsa rules?
Speaker 1: First episode? A nice Yeah, you're welcome to the gate. Yeah,
listeners and teammates, you're welcome, So I don't say I
never gave you anything. Yeah, yeah, what a what a
fucking episode last week. That was epic. Anyway, Adam, you
weren't here last week, but I did watch Thirty Days
of Night h awesome, really enjoyed it. That was a blast.
And I'm currently I finished season three of Stranger Things
and I'm a little late to the party, but that's
my wife fault, not mine. Was fucking awesome started season four. Man,
the finale of season three was fucking heart wrenching.
Speaker 4: Oh it's while which one was Season three?
Speaker 1: With the mind flare and the Russian bass under the mall?
Speaker 4: Oh with the mall?
Speaker 9: Yeah, okay, okay, man, what a what a great one
of the best finales of television I've ever seen, Like, man,
it had everything going for it, action, suspense, drama, horror,
uh you know.
Speaker 1: Sadness, lost. Man, it was awesome everything you can need.
So I'm really stoked for for season four. And uh,
speaking of Stranger Things, David Harbor, I also just started
watching today the Grand Turismo movie on Netflix, which I
thought was gonna be Yeah, exactly, that's what I think.
Speaker 3: Movie.
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, you have to. Does it start off with
a guy qualifying by raising a Honda Civic.
Speaker 10: Yeah sort of?
Speaker 4: Okay, So well, I don't glad stick into the plot.
Speaker 5: I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't know much about Grand Tourismo other than you know,
it was one of the big games in PlayStation because
I'm not I'm not a racing guy unless it's Road Rash,
you know, a real racing game, or Demolish of Derby
if you want to go back that far. Anyway, So,
I don't know the whole history of Grand Tourismo, but
the movie claims it's based on the true story of
this this kid who in the movie basically is, you know,
an excellent Grand Turismo player, and uh, this company decides
to get all these Grand Trismo players and basically kind
of uses Grand Trismo as like a race simulator to
try to train them to become actual race car drivers
and like you know, participating, like you know, like world class. Yeah,
but so it's got. It's got for Orlando. It sounds ridiculous,
but it's actually so far.
Speaker 4: It sounds like a remake of The Last Starfighter. It
sounds like it took it took the Wizard and the
Last star Fighter and rolled them together.
Speaker 8: It also feels like a player one like the whole
like gamer into real thing or that that that's a
weird plot for a movie.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I was gonna say I did a little
research and I guess it acts there is some truth.
I don't know the full story, Aaron. Do you know
as far as when they say based on a true story,
because the kid is an actual real person did become
a race car driver.
Speaker 5: So when they released I think it was Grand Turismo
three or maybe two, they had like a contest where
it was like you go into a tournament and whoever
won Grand Turismo like this Grand Tarisma tournament for the
newest game, they got the opportunity like they actually like
got their own car and like they got to pick
what it was and then they would race them. And
the idea was like they would train, well, you play
in Grand Tarismo, but like with the like the full
like simulated like steering wheel and pads and shifters and everything.
Speaker 1: Because yeah, it was like so it sounds ridiculous and
far fetched, but I guess unlike some movies that say
based on a true story, looking at U Texas, Chainsaw, Maascer,
it actually is based on a true story. So I'll
have more next week because I'll finish the movie probably
this weekend. But David Harbor plays a mechanic who becomes
like the the race crew chief of the master engineer
of the group. And Orlando Bloom is like the marketing
guy who like basically puts all this together and convinces
the Nissan to like fund this whole crazy idea.
Speaker 10: And then.
Speaker 1: The who is the Adam You probably know who's the
actor the Blacker, the black actor that played the black
the black actor who played uh, he was he was
like the best friend of Maximus and Gladiator.
Speaker 4: Do you know, It's like it's like Gema on something.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so he's he's the kid's dad in this movie. Yeah, Okay,
I was gonna say, I can't remember he's he's got
a unique name, but anyway, he's in it too. So
there's actually a couple, you know, high profile people in it,
and it's it's pretty good so far. I've actually really
enjoyed it because I'm not a car guy. I'm not
a racing guy at all, but uh yeah, I'll put
it this way. It's been way better and more entertaining
than fucking Full Metal Alchemist. All Right, I needed a
break from that ship. So but yes, I've been watching that,
been playing some Aliens Fire Team Elite with Matt because
he apparently has the game, so it's like, well, we
need something to do, so we're playing through that again.
And yeah, just doing some were painting and hobbying, getting
some stuff ready for a Depticon and gen Con, and
still working on the Zomicide stuff. So it took a
little bit of break this last week, but now I'm
kind of back into it and get my mojo back again.
So all all pretty good. And today I found a
bruising on what was it Google? Last night and the
thing came up for the new the new version of
hero Quest on sale, so I checked it out today
and it was sold out on Amazon. But apparently game
Stop sells hero Quest.
Speaker 4: So did they still anything that they can at this point?
Speaker 1: So sixty five percent off Holy Cow and that game
is I don't know, maybe two years old, and that
game is like retail if you buy it straight from
Avalon Hills like a I think one hundred and thirty bucks,
one hundred and twenty books or something. So I was like, man,
that's that's a pretty good deal. So had I had
a little money in the PayPal account which paid for
most of it, so Yeah, we're getting a new version
of hero Quests. That's pretty cool. Here we go that
awesome price. Yeah. So not that I need another copy
of hero Quest or that I need more models to paint,
but you know, at that discount, I felt like it
was it was it's been calling me. You know, it
supposed to.
Speaker 7: Be a fool.
Speaker 1: Well. I wanted to back it when they did the
Hasbro Pulse crowd funder, but when when I found out
it was just basically a reskin, it wasn't like anything
new to the game, I didn't. I was like, now
I'm not going to like drop one hundred and fifty
or whatever it was at the time. And you know,
some of the exclusive stuff was not that big of
a deal to me because it was like, oh, now
there's you know, male and female versions of all the heroes,
like that didn't really matter to me. It's just alternate sculpts,
you know, nothing. It was all and like different rules
or anything. So but anyway, yeah, they've redone all the
expansion packs. They've added new expansion pass to the game.
Speaker 11: Too, and since the original ones are so incredibly rare
and super expensive to get a hold of, I think
we'll probably just go with the new version and that
way I can finally have a complete collection one day.
Speaker 1: So add it to the pile of stuff to paint,
play and perhaps one day put on the channel. We'll
see shame. Yeah, you know, my pile of shame though,
is mostly board games at this point. I don't really
have much of a pile of shame with games, workshops
stuff anymore. So I worked through a lot of that.
Quite amazing.
Speaker 7: How many miniatures do you have in that pile of
shame that you got to finish?
Speaker 1: Uh, there's there's quite a few. But then again I don't.
I don't normally paint my board game models. That's something
new I've started doing. I do like full miniature games,
like like forty K and Warhammer. So, but we've been
doing some board gaming now, me and the gang usually
once a month. And uh, I swear, I swear I'm
gonna make it. I swear I'm gonna make it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, just yeah, just yeah, we believe it's just appointment.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Two other people showed up. Yeah, oh,
we'll go play on the first. It'll be fucking great.
And then nobody fucking shows up. Well, more donuts for me,
So you know what we say, Sean Fu.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm learning that.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Anyway, I've gone on long enough, Adam, I'm fucking stoked.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 1: We're getting towards the end of the campaign here. Last
week was one of the most fun or two weeks ago,
it was one of the most fun sessions of an
RPG I've had in a really fucking long time.
Speaker 4: So it's a It's an honor, man, It's an honor
and a privilege to hear you say that. Before we
start playing that, I'd like to start playing Shadowing. But
before we do, I forgot one thing super important. I forgot.
Speaker 1: Have you told everybody?
Speaker 4: But I don't think I've told everyone. Yeah, the news.
This is the most important thing that's ever happened in
my life. I finally beat the RoboCop video game. And
this is, I gotta tell you, guys, the best licensed
video game of all time. Like, no one will ever
be able to Dee thrown RoboCop Rogue City as the
best licensed video game ever. It was amazing. Oh my god, dude,
Like I was RoboCop, Dude. I went to it like
a laundrymat. I was giving people tickets. I was at
a bank and instead of diffusing a bomb, I just
decided to tear it off a dude and blow it
up like it. It has been a wild ride. It's amazing.
I I can't I can't talk about how great this
rebocop video game is. Enough play this RoboCop game.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we pretty much got to experience it with Adam,
which it was like somebody like telling me a story,
like a picture story.
Speaker 3: It was.
Speaker 1: It was fucking great.
Speaker 4: So I was doing the old fashioned take a picture
of the TV uh and posted discord.
Speaker 10: It was great.
Speaker 1: It was great. Can you can you tell listeners about
the other thing or is it still?
Speaker 4: Don't don't even worry about that. That's nothing. That's nothing
to talk about. Don't worry about that. I don't worry
about that. We'll talk about that at some point in
the future maybe.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, fair enough, alright.
Speaker 4: Let me throw this out there real quick. Uh, Scott,
thank you.
Speaker 1: That's it.
Speaker 7: That's all.
Speaker 4: That's it.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, listeners, we're back and I'll hand it
over to Adam so we can uh, we can get
to work here.
Speaker 4: All right, So everybody ready, all right, here we go.
If you guys recall last time, it was about two
weeks ago, right, Uh, you made a phone call. You said, Jimmy,
I need help. We need somebody to get us out
of here. We're in the ship. And he said, sure,
I'll send somebody, but you're not gonna like it. You guys,
remember this.
Speaker 1: It was a lot more panic than that. But yeah, yeah,
I think it was more like, Jimmy, they're all fucking diet,
I need help here.
Speaker 4: All right. We pick up garbage truck haul and ass
driving through Auburn, just plowing through everything in the way.
It's it's garbage cans mainly getting just like bowled over.
And you see this thing is kind of swerving a
little bit, and it's driving, and it's driving. It's driving.
It's going fast as fast as a garbage truck can go,
probably somewhere in the neighborhood and fifty miles an hour,
and it's going and there's paper and shit flying out
of the back of these things is going and we
see inside we cut to the back of the garbage
truck and you see that the the you know, the
trash compactory part is is kind of open and there's
you know, there's all sorts of garbage in there and
you know, the camera pulls through all the trash and
goes into the cabin and you see an elf, an
older elf driving. This is our new friend. I'm gonna
show him to everybody, show to players. Okay, i'me on computer,
you can do it.
Speaker 2: I'm come on internet.
Speaker 1: I blame Yeah, Oh.
Speaker 4: My, I'm sorrybody, this is not happening as quickly as
I like.
Speaker 1: This doesn't normally happen to me.
Speaker 3: It happens.
Speaker 4: It happens to a lot of laptops.
Speaker 10: Don't worry at that age.
Speaker 3: A lot of laptops suffer these kinds of issues. That's
normal is she is talk to, you know, technician, and
you can give keep something to fix it.
Speaker 12: I'm a little.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a little bit of a resource hog.
Speaker 1: You'll fit in perfect here.
Speaker 4: Holy crap, nothing's even going on here. Let's I'm gonna
refresh I already, guys, I hope you uh, we're ready
for suspense, because that's what's on order tonight is suspense.

are gonna have to look at the screen this way.
Speaker 5: What a handsome one that works?
Speaker 10: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Now do you in Shadow Run? Do do elves have
like giant ears like World of Warcraft elves or is
it just kind of whatever?
Speaker 4: Uh, They're kind of pointy, but you know it's in
my version of Shadow Run. Whatever the fun you want,
you want this guy's.
Speaker 1: Like like abe hobby.
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, I've always viewed it as just like real life.
You know, everyone's got different sized ears and elves canna
have the same?
Speaker 3: Now does he actually have one two to three, four
five fives on one hand?
Speaker 5: And then is that?
Speaker 4: Don't worry about it. Don't worry about how many fingers
and huckles U. You know, it looks. It looks right
until you start counting.
Speaker 1: It looks until you look at it.
Speaker 4: It's there's an old carpentry term. You say, it looks
great from my house. All right. So anyhow, we got
this elf driving this garbage truck, and he's there. He's
got this dirty overcoat and he's, uh, he's a little
bit of an older gentleman. If you want to call
him a gentleman, I wouldn't not once you get to
know it. It's blood, a little bit of blood splattered
on his jacket. He's whistling driving the garbage truck. You
see passenger seat A special device designed for your specific needs.
This is gonna let me show it to you, guys.
Boom special transportation device that fits your or specifics that
you've requested. Lou fifty five gallon plastic drum.
Speaker 5: Could we requests that kind of.
Speaker 4: You'll get the job done. Look, when you're in a rush,
you gotta deal with what you got. Beggars can't be choosers,
and you're begging for help. And here it comes Dan,
your character, maggot Mike driving the garbage truck. You've recently
acquired this. You are hauling ass towards your destination. Jimmy
give you a call and he said, Hey, I need
some kind of vehicle that's gonna be big enough to
handle I don't know, like seven people. Also, I need
something that's gonna prevent someone from breathing that you can
put them inside of, or you know whatever. And you thought,
what do I got that can transport that many people?
I don't know? And then you saw it. Garbage day,
garbage truck. You're hauling ass towards your destination. You've got
a GPS ping. You turn grig guide off because it's
gonna take you on your route and that's far too slow.
It's designed for you to go and slowly stop at
every single house along the route. Ain't nobody got time
for that, So you're gunning it. You're driving like a madman.
Plowing through garbage cans for fun, for the thrill. You
heading towards your destination. You can see you're very close by.
You turn around, you're onto this street and you see
garbage or you're in a garbage truck. You see fire
trucks and you see smoke billowing. You hear blast of
fire into the air, more smoke. As you arrive on
the scene, plowing through fire trucks in your garbage truck,
blasting them to the side, and you get there. You
know that these firefighters, these guys, they're mercenaries. They get
paid by the job, and if you don't have money
to pay for them to put out the fire, they'll
start another fire. These guys are bad news. But you
blow through who you arrive on.
Speaker 1: The scene.
Speaker 4: And you see your ride share customers. There's an orc
he's not in great shape, bleeding. And you see outside
of this fireball, this burning down wreckage what used to
be a house. Next to other burning down wreckage that
used to be a house. You can assume very soon
more wreckage that used to be houses. You see a
pile of unconscious bodies. Four Eagle security guys. One of
them is bleeding out of the back of his head.
The resume look like they're taking a nice lovely nap
in the street. A woman, two children, one xbox roll
at else elf with a bunch of arms, and one
guy who you tell immediately is very homeless. Yeah, you
smell it. You smell it before you see it. It
smells like your truck, your recently acquired truck. It's yours
now by law, the law of finders, keepers, losers, weepers.
You're on the scene, the scene of the crime. Oohrack,
you see this garbage truck pull up, stops, slides power
slide towards you. Don't get disconnected. No again, Uh, they're here.
Speaker 1: I I assume since he's sliding right up to me,
this is gotay for me. So uh, I'll just uh,
I'll just start dragging people towards the back.
Speaker 13: I'll be like Jimmy Sinda, yeah, jim you dog in
sackson man pick up, Yes, yes.
Speaker 7: I uh get out. And you see this, you know,
beer belly as he walks up and starts to hit
up switch and starts to open up the compactor in
the back.
Speaker 8: Well, we'll really back in the feel safe back there.
Jimmy didn't tell i'd be gramming. As he walks off
to the front.
Speaker 1: Oh, hey, what do we do with this one? And
you see he holds up a little girl who appears
to be unconscious.
Speaker 8: He doesn't even blink an eye as he walks to
the passenger side and rolls out this big blue barrel
a couple of bloody handprints on as I kind of
just kick it to you.
Speaker 1: Oh fucking brilliant. I knew Jimmy would come through. Yep,
she's going in the barrel.
Speaker 4: You put her in the barrel, snap on the top,
air tight. There's room up front for two. The back
holds as many as you can cram in there. Knuckles.
As you start tossing in your pals into the garbage
in the back, you see the mangled body of your
guessing too, garbage man in the back.
Speaker 1: Oh that's awesome. Well, hey man, you know, well, I'm
I paying customer. That's fine, So I'll just keep tossing
them back there.
Speaker 8: I'm a little sorry, but you got I'm gonna lean
out the window and just shout back, don't touch them,
sable with from me.
Speaker 7: Now you get yet?
Speaker 4: Yeah, it takes a little bit of work, but you
finally manage to get forward into the garbage and uh,
you know, the other two aren't too tough. But you
get loaded up. And as everybody's finally loaded into the
back of this this garbage truck that's filled with real
life garbage, another house debtonates, come boom, fireball. It's not
going well. The fire trucks are starting to come in.
They're a little bit worse for wear, but the firefighters
are peeling out. These guys are like the Japanese firefighters,
not like the American kind. They're they're dressing like it
looks like like a pop tart wrapper, and they're quick
and effishing. They're working a team. I don't know if
you've seen like Japanese firefighters.
Speaker 1: But like it's it's amazing.
Speaker 4: Yeah, dude, the way they like deploy the ladders and
the hose, it's like well a machine. It's like a
well oiled machine. But they look like little pop tarts
around but they're deploying in their starting to try to
deal with the fire, spreading fire, the detonation of the houses,
the gas lines exploding one after another after another. You know,
it's not long before this whole neighborhood's up in flames.
Surprisingly enough, still no knight errant.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, you know, I'm not the one that lit
the house on fire or connected all the gas lines.
So not my fault, not my problem. I got people
to worry about. So once everybody's loaded up, we'll toss
the garbage can back or the oil drone back there,
and then I'll hop up front with this guy and yeah,
all right, there, they're good. Let's go. Oh wait, no,
I'm gonna get on my bike. I'm not gonna leave
my bike here for that.
Speaker 5: Also, they're not good, like both, It's like gonna die
in this couple of nuts.
Speaker 3: I'm quick a medic, I mean, actually got twenty five minutes,
thank you.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, well, okay, Adam in the in the time
it took for him to get here. Could I attempt
any sort of medical aid on anybody.
Speaker 4: That, I mean, you could, but if you're not trained
in it, it's probably better that you don't.
Speaker 1: All right, I'll, you know, wrap him in a nice
blanket or something and be like it'll be fine. Now,
you know what, he's not here, so fucking you know.
Speaker 4: All right, yikes to kill him in real life. I
kill him in the game for real in the way.
Those are the rules. Come to your house, all right,
so you guys, yeah, we play hardcore. So you load
up and uh start heading out to your hideout, the
the lovely hideout that you guys have, which I have
somewhere as a hand out. Ah. Yes, there it is
Little Willy's high out show to players. Lamo. An abandoned
old building hidden away behind some woods. And I found
this out. It's pewl up, pewl up. I've been saying
it wrong the whole time. Pewl up. I asked a
dude from Seattle and he told me pewl up.
Speaker 5: Nice.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm like, I've what a fool I've been all right. So,
but that's where you guys are headed. So it takes
a little while, probably about solid twenty two minutes to
get there. Hey, take a clock, taken clock. You get there,
you pull up, you get behind this building. It's like
an old It used to be a taxidermy shop and
now it's just kind of a flophouse. Occasionally people will
hide out there. It's Jimmy uses it every once in
a while to hide some stuff and to hide some
people when they need it. He usually sometimes keeps a
car there, sometimes not, but you get there, you pull
around to the back and you're able to use There's
like a big one of those cargo nets that's got
the camouflage stuff on it, so you can throw that
over the back of the garbage truck to hide it
so that if anybody's flying over they don't see it.
You park the bike underneath it too, and you start
loading people in. Once you get inside, there's a couple
of old like work benches. Some of them are like wooden,
some of them are like that stainless steel with like
the scooped up edges so that fluids don't come out,
but you're able to flop people onto there. Everybody's still
unconscious except for Knuckles and Maggot Mike.
Speaker 8: I am going to look at the ones that are
entered and see who needs the most immediate care first.
Speaker 4: I think there's probably got to be vult right. I
think you're like almost alter.
Speaker 1: Mantis, right, So I would I would pick would Okay,
it helps out in every fight.
Speaker 5: You could.
Speaker 4: You could take care of mantis dead last.
Speaker 8: Uh So I'm going to take the one that is
needing the most medical help, move them to the table.
With the the stainless steel table and pull out a
medical kit that is a little rusty, got a strange
funk to it when it opens up, and I'm gonna
start stabilizing.
Speaker 4: All right, so you can make your test. Uh, let's
see here, you got character sheet stabilizing. We got all
of your skills are in place there. It's gonna be
under I believes, uh scientific skills. You got A first
aid that you can do is that if you succeed
with enough hits, I will look at my book. You
can't stabilize. See, I looked this up ahead of time,
and I knew the answer, and then I forget.
Speaker 1: It's gone.
Speaker 4: Yep, yeah, it's it's I was ready to go next
week and then realize my wife was gonna be out
of town and I needed to watch my daughter the
whole time. And then, uh, since then my brain stopped
again again. My brain stopped again. Yeah, oh yeah, right again. Yeah, yeah,
she's still alive. Yeah, I get it. I get jokes.
I get jokes. Uh, I don't even remember where I went.
Is it this thing that I got a bookmark in?
Speaker 5: No? What are you looking for?
Speaker 4: I don't know how to do things in this game,
uh dredaling, stabilizing, feeling, stabilizing, first aid stabilization. It's in
there somewhere, not in the magic I'm just looking pages.
I you know what I'll get there. Hey, So what
have you guys been up to?
Speaker 6: Uh?
Speaker 4: Oh no, we already did that. Uh yeah, Hey, you know,
while I'm flipping through these pages trying to find the same,
if any of you guys seen the movie Free Jack,
I've been watching the movie Free Jack with Mick Jagger
and Emilio Estevez. No oh no, yeah, dude, Emilios. He
plays like a like a race car driver that gets
uh zapped into the future and then he's hunted by
Mick Jagger.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 4: They want to steal his body and put some old
guy's brain into it. And Anthony Hopkins is there?
Speaker 1: All right?
Speaker 4: I found it, all right, all right, I found it stabilization.
Speaker 1: There we go.
Speaker 4: That's that's all the filler we need it, right all right?
So first aid plus logic limited by your mental limit
target number three, or you can do medicine plus logic
limited by mental with the target number three. The test
must be made situational modifiers. So let's see what we
got for situational lot of virus. You are indoors cool
minus one.
Speaker 1: Mmmm, it's a negative for being indoors to treat.
Speaker 5: No.
Speaker 4: No, If you are in a sterilized medical facility, it's
minus zero. But since your indoors minus one if you're outside.
Speaker 1: Of okay, that makes sense.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so let's see here we got you got medical supplies,
so you can add your medkit rating and let's see. Uh,
patient is awakened. Both of these suckers are awakened of
minus two as well. So you're in a minus three
plus whatever your medkit rating is, which I think I
put into your equipment.
Speaker 7: It is a rating five, which gives me a hole
plus two.
Speaker 4: Oh, there we go. So you just need three heads
otherwise he dies no pressure. Hey, welcome to the show.
Speaker 7: Mm hmm.
Speaker 2: Should I pre edge?
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, every chance, yeah.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, we're gonna pre edge. I'm gonna do it.
Speaker 5: I remember you're happen into overflow.
Speaker 7: Crap already got there this.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
Speaker 7: To and submit?
Speaker 3: Oh fuck that fuck?
Speaker 4: Oh my is that is? Oh it's only one wait
wait did it that?
Speaker 5: It didn't it didn't roll edge?
Speaker 4: Oh didn't yeah, I didn't edge.
Speaker 5: Oh just whatever your attributing. Just roll that many like
because we'll know.
Speaker 4: Well, here click that. There's an edge button up at
the top. Right underneath it says Shatter Run fifth Edition,
and on the right side of the say GM rolling edge.
If you click edge, it'll light up.
Speaker 7: I have no clue where you're talking. I don't see
what you're talking about.
Speaker 4: Uh, scroll all the way up on your character sheet
on the main tab.
Speaker 3: Oh, I mean it's probably every every tap g edge.
Speaker 5: Got it there it is?
Speaker 4: Yeah, Now now hit that uh that skill test and
put in your modifiers.
Speaker 7: Here you go where success is.
Speaker 4: Oh, okay, that's a lot better. So uh yeah, so
you stabilize him. He stops bleeding. So you're doing your thing,
you know, you you bust out your med kit and
you're stitching, sewing them up, patching up some holes.
Speaker 5: Does that heal at all?
Speaker 4: This is just to stabilize, that's just to stop dying.
Speaker 1: You didn't really think healing would be done in one
role in this.
Speaker 4: Game so many. All right, so you got one stabilized,
let's try for the other. The other guy, all right,
same same modifiers, because this guy also is awakened.
Speaker 5: Well it's mantis, right, Yeah, all right.
Speaker 4: Well he did vault first and then now he's gonna
do mantis. Okay, Uh, you're not in the overflow, are you?
Speaker 5: I am?
Speaker 4: You are too?
Speaker 5: Oh boy, okay, I'm in by exactly one point.
Speaker 8: Okay, all right, I only got two things at edge,
so I don't know if I want to use my
last one.
Speaker 14: Well, definitely not on this guy because he's not here.
Speaker 1: Say you save your edge for the troll. Gotta brutal. Hey,
the troll is my friend.
Speaker 4: Game.
Speaker 2: That's fair, that's fair.
Speaker 4: That's yeah, that's right, that's right.
Speaker 7: All right, two successes?
Speaker 4: Oh what I said? Was I say it was three?
Speaker 5: Yeah? Yes?
Speaker 4: Yeah, yikes, yeah it's three oof?
Speaker 7: Uh boy?
Speaker 5: Uh?
Speaker 4: Is this extended?
Speaker 1: Have you done this before?
Speaker 7: You want to do it? And I'll let you do it.
You can let you over in down.
Speaker 10: I don't care.
Speaker 7: I'll just scribe him for parts.
Speaker 1: I mean, you seem to be doing a pretty good
job yourself, so.
Speaker 7: I believe the healing can be extended. I always thought
it could.
Speaker 4: You can try again bos with minus two?
Speaker 1: All right, is there anything I can do to help?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Do you have training in first aid or medicine?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 1: Yeah, do you do?
Speaker 4: You have enough karma to buy a rank in either
of those things.
Speaker 1: No, we spent my karma last time.
Speaker 4: I mean we all right, so okay, uh so no, no,
you're you can't do ship you're.
Speaker 2: Oh my.
Speaker 4: Yike, you know what. Let me take a quick peek
here and see, because you know what it might be
a better idea to uh. Oh, you know what you've got.
Uh you've got other equipment on your dude, you look
at your equipment on Mike.
Speaker 7: You got uh oh that's right, I've got the uh
the impacts. Oh, I had a trauma patch.
Speaker 1: Is he here is the chos is here? Hi?
Speaker 12: Hi, I'm so sorry.
Speaker 6: I have a really good excuse though. Mm it was
today was my son's birthday. Leave Oh god, I had
another r T T.
Speaker 1: Just kidding.
Speaker 10: That's worse.
Speaker 12: I thought that would be better.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna smash it because you play so you.
Speaker 7: Have no.
Speaker 12: My son for really his son's birthday turned for sorry.
Speaker 4: Oh congrats, tell him, tell him. I said, uh, it's
not Saturday.
Speaker 6: I was, you know how, I like, I totally say,
you know how I remembered you think it would be
in some message from from Chris.
Speaker 12: I remembered because I was about to talk to my
sister and law.
Speaker 6: We were talking about baseball car I was like, man,
I was playing shadow Runny and when we had this
crazy guy that.
Speaker 15: Looked like this old baseball player that would chase fire trucks,
and I'm like, oh.
Speaker 10: Ship.
Speaker 4: In the here, Oh my god, so good, so good. Well,
welcome back. You're you're right now. We're in the process
of trying to prevent you from dying right now, so
good timing. Uh, you got here just in time for
your character to die. So uh, your new best friend,
maggot Mike is here trying to stabilize you from dying,
and he didn't, so we're looking at some other options
to try to bring you back from the dead.
Speaker 12: Uh, I'm glad I could make it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, literally just in time. You literally just rolled the dice.
Speaker 4: So uh, you got in your equipment on here. We've
got stem patches and trank patches and a med kit,
as well as an item that I like to call
a gross jacket.
Speaker 7: There we go, not that cross, It's only got a
couple layers of filth.
Speaker 4: Yeah, oh man, you smell it before you see it.
So we got so the the thing that you could
do in this case, the stem patch. We'll get rid
of some of the damage.
Speaker 5: The the.
Speaker 4: What am I talking about? The stunt damage off of someone?
So if they are knocked out with stun damage, they
could wake up, But oh he's still got he's got
physical damage on them too, So it's not gonna do
the thing.
Speaker 7: Doesn't the trunk patch stabilize?
Speaker 4: No, that's a trauma patch. The trunk patch knocks people out.
Speaker 7: Oh that's right.
Speaker 3: You meant to give him the trauma pad right, No, No.
Speaker 4: The trank patch.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we are really good.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it is a really good trank package.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna check like everybody's gear and stuff.
Did anybody have anything? I know the med kit was
in the car, but was there anything else? Think we have?
Speaker 5: No? I forgot to buy. I was gonna buy some
patches and stuff, but I told like being out and
talked about it before last session, and then we went
to the drug store twice and I didn't buy them.
Speaker 4: It's not a drug store store where there's a guy
that's trying to sell your drugs.
Speaker 3: And yeah, oh man, you find four soy bars at
the flashlight and the claw hammer.
Speaker 8: On bold Yeah, all right, I'm going to uh first
go back over to Bolt, steal some of his food
as I walked back over to the one that needs
medical attention.
Speaker 7: And while I'm eating this soy bar, I'm gonna right again.
Speaker 4: He's doing it. He's going for it, all right. So
this is an additional minus two. But it looks like
you checked that edge box.
Speaker 7: Oh you're not gonna let me say it, are you?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 1: No, I blew it. I believe it doesn't matter you.
Speaker 2: You can always say.
Speaker 1: Did the healing on vault? That just stabilized him?
Speaker 5: Right?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Yeah, just stop the bleeding.
Speaker 1: Is he still unconscious or out?
Speaker 13: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Until he gets additional Healey's.
Speaker 8: All right, all right, I'm gonna pull out my rusty
needle and thread and begin working again.
Speaker 7: Five successes.
Speaker 4: There we go. He's not died. So there we go.
You got one more? One more guy? So uh Ford, Uh,
looking at your character?
Speaker 5: I am not awakened. If that helps.
Speaker 4: What's your your essence though? I think it's under enhancements.
Well that's oh okay, yeah right there, So yeah, you
don't have enough of an essence penalty for it to
make this harder.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I only got one point that's in strength.
Speaker 4: Yeah, let me see, it's implants minus one per two
full points of essence loss. So yeah, there's no penalty
for that. So this would just be all of your
stuff with a minus one total.
Speaker 7: Okay, so I just have the minus one? Is that
counting my rating five medkit?
Speaker 4: No, No, you're they would go on top of so
you're at a total of plus four.
Speaker 5: Okay, all right, that shouldn't be too bad.
Speaker 4: You got this, You got this. You could do this.
Speaker 7: Five successes, Yeah, five successes.
Speaker 10: There we go.
Speaker 4: All right, so you're good. No one's gonna die right now.
There's still time. Nice, So the night is still young.
So you go around and you do your gross magic
and you patch up these guys so they're not bleeding anymore. Knuckles.
What do you do while this is going on?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I don't just kind of watch it like.
Speaker 5: Or did he get knocked out?
Speaker 3: I forget he got knocked out by the other guys.
Speaker 4: They knocked him out.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what, I guess I'll hook up the
Xbox and fire up call.
Speaker 4: All right, there you go. So, yeah, well this is
going on. Yeah, you're you're back there, You're you're fuson
around connecting the Xbox, and uh, you're trying to find
the right kind of thing because it's an old TV
and you're like, this doesn't have a v M T
I adapter?
Speaker 1: What the hell? And where's that? Where's the red, yellow
and white plugs?
Speaker 5: Right?
Speaker 4: So you end up finding the right kind of thing
and you get it and you you throw an elbow
into it and go a and then it turns on
and uh so you got that working, and uh you're
looking around a little bit, trying to get the lay
of the land. I guess as it were in here,
and and uh, there's nothing too comfortable. There's not like
bedrooms or anything like that. There is a bathroom and
the bathroom is gross, man like it's uh nobody cleans it,
you know, ever, and Jimmy's got you guys know this
about Jimmy. He's got like some intestinal issues going on.
So it's it's gross. It's uh, it's dirty. It's not like,
uh like a total disaster, but like it's like it's gross.
There's a lot of hair everywhere. Yeah, oh yeah, but
uh yeah, you find uh you find you know, a
couple of makeshift beds and couches and stuff like that
the water still works, which is great, but uh, you
get people kind of laid out, and uh so you
got your or three hostages, I suppose, and uh your
three amigos that are unconscious as he's going to work
on them, trying to restore some damage to them, kind
of get them back on their feet a little bit.
Speaker 5: How he can help you is is.
Speaker 1: Well once he patches them up. Uh, I guess I
would try to wake up anybody who was just like
knocked out. I don't recall like if I saw, like
if someone got like physically knocked out, or if they
like you know, got like attacked and like you know,
I don't I honestly don't remember.
Speaker 4: Oh they all got undamaged.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean I'll i'd start with uh
oh probably Ford, see if he wakes up. If not,
then I'll just kind of go down the line and
see who does wake up. Okay, so uh not including
the little girl. Obviously we're gonna I'm gonna put I'm
gonna get a big fucking sharpie, right, do not open
on the side of that can?
Speaker 4: Yeah, uh you find one. It's it's one of the
fat Max markers. It's a tape measure. I'm sorry. You
know the big you know the big ones, the big ones,
and you're right on there, do not open. But it's plastic,
so it kind of like beads off of there and
then like wipes away on your hands. So you you
end up finding some tape and you write it on
the tape. But you get that all set up. You know,
you got a thing it says don't dead open inside
and yeah, and uh, you know it's We're gonna get
some some medicine tests in here to try to or
I guess we can do first aid tests to recover
some damage on these guys.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm gonna look at it's Ford that's still awake.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 4: The only person that's awake is Knuckles. Everybody else is
knocked out.
Speaker 8: I'm gonna walk up to Knuckles as he's trying to
write on the barrel with the sharpie and hand him
some thick looking red fluid?
Speaker 7: Does work better? And you rotten when? Yeah? As I
walk off to help them.
Speaker 1: Oh thanks, and I will use the disgusting red fluid.
Speaker 4: There you go painting do with your fingers.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 8: It has a strange metallic smell to it, taste, yu
and I'm gonna get working on getting people back on
their feet.
Speaker 4: Okay, So, uh, characters on train blah blah blah, wireless
med kit blah blah blah, medical healing, heel spell Nope.
So yeah, you're gonna be able to make uh you
do a first aid test. Yeah, using uh, the minus
one modifier, but the plus five from the kit. So
you're at a plus four total on Ford. The other
guys are gonna be plus two net.
Speaker 7: So we will start with Ford. There's some six successes.
Speaker 5: So how does that work? How many do I?
Speaker 4: Oh, yeah, that's a lot. Nice. So the way that
that works is you're going to he has to hit
it excuse me, threshold. So the threshold is I want
to say, uh two or maybe three. First aid two
is the threshold. So any additional hits, remove one box
of damage, divide the net effects in half, rounded up.
If the victim is being treated is wearing any kind
of full body armor, so no, no glitch appen. Using
first aid in combat requires a complex action. We're not
worried about that. Yeah, So there we go. So the
additional hits, so in this case, four get removed from
your damage track.
Speaker 5: Okay, and so Ford is now conscious.
Speaker 4: There we go.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I was only one over so.
Speaker 7: Right neck is man a boy one?
Speaker 5: Actually? Oh, I was gonna say, I think I have
a high enough first aid skill that I could assist,
like just even talking. So I have exactly four So
I don't know if wind penalties apply to that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, wind penalties will apply.
Speaker 5: Okay, then I only have two, So then it's not
worth it because then I'll have to be able on
one dice.
Speaker 7: Well, I got two successes for the next person.
Speaker 4: All right, so it's not unfortunately, not enough to do anything.
Speaker 8: But they I didn't do any harm, so I am
still in the hypocratic I am still within the hippocratic oath.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, and the last person.
Speaker 4: There you go, four successes, all right, so take two
damage off of volt.
Speaker 3: All right, I'm still a three overflow.
Speaker 4: Yeah all right, yikes. So you guys are going to
be hiding out here for a little while in order
to recover this stuff. So uh, well you good.
Speaker 5: Well I'm just gonna say, like Ford.
Speaker 3: Oh wait, no, I should be I think it's okay,
all right.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Ford is probably not going to stick around because he's
supposed to go to a meeting with doctor doom Yeah.
Speaker 4: You come to after he does some work on you,
and uh, you wake up and this guy is like
leaning over you and he's he's like in your face
while he's working. You can taste his breath.
Speaker 5: He says, do you excuse me? I am good now,
Please do not.
Speaker 7: Be so close.
Speaker 1: Hey you're awake.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's about time. What happened? I already think? Good?
Where's the girl? Uh?
Speaker 1: Well, I put the team on my back and I
got you all here. Uh I got all three of
them and all three of you and the Xbox. So
unfortunately I can't say the same about your car.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Those uh, those those bastards we were not exactly easy
to put down. But uh well they're all gone too,
so they won't be bothering us anymore.
Speaker 5: I suppose this is good. I have to go find
doctor dooman and potential to kill him.
Speaker 1: What what do you not going anywhere?
Speaker 5: Yeah? And Ford is actively trying to stand up.
Speaker 10: Now.
Speaker 4: No, no, it doesn't work.
Speaker 8: I was about to say, maggot, Mike is going to
just take his thumb and just push it into a
bullet wound to push him back down onto the bed.
Speaker 4: Oof. It works, It works, you probably couldn't get up
on your own anyway as you.
Speaker 1: Try to do it.
Speaker 4: It's just it's so painful. It's like everything hurts, like
your whole body feels like a like a giant green bruise. Yeah,
he pushes in a little bit of blood.
Speaker 1: Skirts out.
Speaker 3: You stay around here.
Speaker 7: Don't make me tungue you into pieces.
Speaker 1: Uh look, it's called Jimmy. He hooked us up. All right,
we're at the safe house. Doc Hair patched you all up.
He's still patching you up. But you're all still in
the land of the living and uh got all gotta
got our guests as well.
Speaker 5: So you have a gun on you?
Speaker 1: Are you really asking me that question?
Speaker 5: All right, I'll message doctor Doom and I tell him
change your plans if you want whatever the fuck you
want to come meet us here.
Speaker 4: And says, what's the address?
Speaker 5: I tell him the address? Okay, I knew it before,
but I don't.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's righte. Yeah, that's fine. So you send him
the address, says sit tight.
Speaker 1: Out of game or side note. I don't recall what
is Ford's beef with doctor Doom exactly.
Speaker 5: It's Doc, Yeah, my child has been kidnapped.
Speaker 1: I remember that. So I didn't forget that, and.
Speaker 5: I think that like, okay, so Jock is convinced because
he is impulsive, been twenty two years old, and it
was the first thing he thought of that Doctor Doom
stole this pay data which involved the FBI, and the
FBI has taken his doctor or doctor Doom has taken
his daughter. Either way, Jacques is incredibly angry at doctor.
Speaker 1: And has this Has this been verbalized to the group
or any of us piece that together based.
Speaker 5: On what Ford has been up to, I think I
I verbalized it directly to the throg at one point, okay.
Speaker 4: I believe he said something along the lines of I'm
going to kill him.
Speaker 1: Yeah, wait, wait, wait, wait wait wait. I I know
I'm not the sharpest food in the shed, but can
you run this past me again? Because uh yeah, you know,
I don't. I don't do the details very well.
Speaker 5: Doctor Doom he took the pay data. Jimmy told us this.
He comes in rolling around like some sort of baller,
but he's not subtle. He's a fucking dumbass.
Speaker 1: I mean, but yeah, okay, go on.
Speaker 5: And then then now we got aries coming down all
over the place because we took these fucking prototypes, right, Yeah,
and then the FBI is looking for me and my
daughter is missing because he took fucking as he took
as information.
Speaker 1: Uh huh, and he sold it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and aries is fucking it is the government. The
government is the corporation. Like I know, I sound like
a crack put but this is the future and this
is really what's happening.
Speaker 7: All right.
Speaker 1: Question, how do you know that? Uh doom?
Speaker 5: Because Jimmy literally said it in the in the one
of them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, no, no, but you're I'm I'm missing the
dot connection between him selling stuff to that getting the
FBI after us. I would have more assumed that was,
you know, the quote unquote terrorist attack on the baseball
stadium on national television, or I don't know, the high
speed chase through the zoo and the gorillas. Man, those
gorillas were great, you know what I mean?
Speaker 5: Just uh, I just I don't I personally think that
the government doesn't give a shit when people who don't
work for corporations get hurt. But the second the corporation
loses twenty dollars, Yeah, the FBI is down your fucking throat.
Speaker 1: I could have told you that, so I guess that
brings me back to my question, what does doctor Doom
have to do with that?
Speaker 4: At this point, you show up, you show them your
phone and you start going through all these messages. Let
me get logic and intuition from YouTube and maggot.
Speaker 1: Mike logic intuition. Huh oh yeah, is that one of
these pre established ones or do I have to just
roll a bunch of dice?
Speaker 4: I think you're gonna have to roll some dice.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Was it logic and what intuition?
So dang?
Speaker 7: Do you want to separate or just put them all together?
Speaker 4: Put it together?
Speaker 7: Okay?
Speaker 2: Success?
Speaker 4: You got three successes?
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right. Five. I just look at the green numbers.
I'm green.
Speaker 4: It's green, you know, super green Corbyn Dallas all right?
So yeah, you got three? All right? So you that's enough.
Jacques is clearly not getting it, but Maggot Mike gets
it immediately and knuckles. You start putting it together. When
you're looking at these text messages, you scroll up to
the conversation that you had and you notice a surprising
lack of slang in the most recent messages compared to
his earlier stuff. Between between you between Doctor Doom and Ford.
So you're looking back at the group messages that you
were getting and you know he's he's it's all like
slang jargon, bullshit. And then now it says it's very
important you meet me in forty five minutes, Like what
is the address? Sit tight like it's it is. This
isn't the same person, You're not. You're talking to somebody
else on that guy's phone.
Speaker 8: Maggot's gonna look at knuckles and just kind of get
this like smile with his crooked, nasty teeth. M hm, No,
your frame, you ain't gonna be doing. Yeah, I'm gonna
set you up and get again.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, totally.
Speaker 4: You see hobos naked you know whatever.
Speaker 1: Man, if I was GM, you would get a point
of karma.
Speaker 5: Yeah, uh yeah, you guys cut You know what I
think you understand?
Speaker 1: I think I think I think Doctor Doom's out of
the picture, is what I'm piecing together here. Well mm
hmm you did you did you give me the address yet? Oh? Yes, yes,
Jesus Christ. How many times do I I'll go get
the guns and I'll start loading up all the guns
and re arming myself.
Speaker 4: All right, you get your guns.
Speaker 1: I'll look to uh to Doc and be like, uh,
I don't suppose you got any heavy, heavy fire power
power around here, do you.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 1: If more of those Arias bastards show up, I mean
I can take them, but uh, it's a very slow
one by one process, you know.
Speaker 8: So Mike is going to just flex his hands out
and you can see these razors slide from his fingertips,
and then he is going to smile and you can
see his teeth are sharpening as you hear that sickening
sound of like metal sliding against rusty metal.
Speaker 1: Oh wait, before I get too excited, though, are you
a pacifist by chance?
Speaker 6: Now?
Speaker 8: All right, good good wool on being past get get yell.
Speaker 1: I yeah, you're preaching to the choir anyway. Oh boy.
Uh well, uh, I guess we're gonna have some visitors soon,
so we should probably be ready. Uh And if these
aries fuckers show up again, it's it's gonna be it's
gonna be rough.
Speaker 7: The only.
Speaker 1: Uh knuckle squints trying to decipher what he said.
Speaker 5: He said he wants everywhere a couple of times he
said he wants to take the cyber away from the
Aris guys. Because I'll sell good yeah.
Speaker 1: M hm, oh yeah, yeah yeah. I just want one
of their guns and some of that ammo. I didn't
get a chance to snag that because I had to
literally drag everyone's ass out of a fire.
Speaker 8: But uh yeah, okay, I'm gonna point at the the
two mates. No dumb dumb man manage man's they they
don't sell too good. But but the Sabos, that's it.
Speaker 7: We'll good.
Speaker 1: Hey, any chance you can wake her up and I'll
point to uh uh Sarah.
Speaker 7: Right, yeah, I'm gonna can I roll a medicine to
see what's.
Speaker 10: Wrong with her?
Speaker 4: Uh yeah, medicine or first aid? Your your call, either
way is good.
Speaker 7: I think you're both the same number, so it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: Nuckles would be like, I think they hit her with
a stunned grenade or a fucking chock prod or some ship.
Speaker 7: So sick successes to know what's wrong with her.
Speaker 4: Okay, So you look over her and the boy and
they're both just like knocked out. You can see she's
got like a big old like goose egg on the
back of her head, so the so is the boy.
But there it's like stun.
Speaker 7: Damage, all right, do the stem patches will wake that up.
Speaker 8: So uh yeah, instead of doing it like what a
normal person would do is like gently put it on, maggot,
Mike's just gonna peel it off like he's got it
on his hand and just slap them across the face
to apply the the stem packs.
Speaker 4: Okay, so these these are for most of these people
have not played this before, so uh the stem patches,
like imagine like I don't know if you guys have
ever used those salon paws, like uh uh peel off
stick on like pain killer things. Yeah, it's like yeah, yeah,
it's like that. So it's like a peel peel off
back and you stick it on. It's got a bunch
of chemicals on it that seep in through. Are you skiing?
Yeah yeah, oh yeah, okay, okay so icy hot one sure, yeah.
Speaker 14: All right, whatever that was okay, So yeah, you slap
this thing on and uh, you know the are you
just doing the woman or are you doing the boy too?
Speaker 7: Or doing both? I'm gonna slap them across the face,
both slap pass feet.
Speaker 4: Both ones.
Speaker 5: You do it.
Speaker 4: You do it like the three stooges, good pop hoop,
and you get both of them, you line them up,
slap them both. But you know, the boy wakes up,
he goes, he looks around and like he's he immediately
pisses and starts scrambling and trying to run. The woman
wakes up and like it's like, uh, like fuck pulp fiction.
When she gets like jabbed in the heart and the
adrenaline heads, you know, she pops up and she's like
immediately like swinging her arms around and trying to fight.
Speaker 1: Hey, chill the fuck out. You're all right, No one's
gonna hurt you. Jesus. You people are fucking spases.
Speaker 4: The kid, the kids. The kid's terrified and he's he's
like running around. He doesn't know where the fuck to go.
Speaker 1: He's like Kevin, Kevin, Kevin, stop right now.
Speaker 16: Stop.
Speaker 1: He's like, all right, your xbox is fine.
Speaker 4: He's like, oh oh cool, cool, cool, cool, all right,
cool cool, all.
Speaker 1: Right, Sarah, I'm gonna let you go. You stop swinging.
Speaker 4: He got her kind of like I would imagine like
a bear hug, Like he got your arms around her
arms and around her waist, and uh, you know you
you let go, And she looks around for a second
and she is going to take a look at her
character sheet.
Speaker 1: Oh boy, are your kids here too? She's here, she's fine.
Speaker 4: She looks around and she is going to try to
cast a spell. Yep, yep, yep. So let's see here.
Damage is gone currently, she's at well, it's a what
was the rating on that? Six?
Speaker 7: Yes?
Speaker 4: Okay, so she five? Okay, so she's got five stun
damage on there we go. So she's going to try
to cast a spell on you. So let's go. H
She is not in a good state of mind. She's
going to go full bore on this thing.
Speaker 5: Mm hmm and knock herself back out.
Speaker 7: She might she human, she's now.
Speaker 5: Too damage.
Speaker 4: Yeah that was a so yeah, she uh, go ahead
and make a willpower to ask their knuckles.
Speaker 1: Will power coming up, sir, Just wheel power just uh,
it says apply wounds, but I don't actually have any wounds.
I just haven't.
Speaker 4: Still say yes okay, yeah, still say yes it's okay
or no, It doesn't matter to say two successes you
take two stun damage and then she blacks out.
Speaker 1: You know, I fucking told you.
Speaker 3: This.
Speaker 7: This is why you don't trust not for your magic wheel?
Speaker 2: Does they not do rat you got?
Speaker 1: You got any restraints dock for when she wakes up.
Speaker 8: Doc is gonna walk around and grab a bunch of
you know, extension cables and chains and just start dragging
just anything he can find, none of it wor clean
for a pair of of zip.
Speaker 5: Ti handcuffs, because I.
Speaker 1: We're gonna, we're gonna secure her. Oh I got the
handcuffs from the cops to that I thought will secure her.
And then I'll be like, all right, Kevin, look.
Speaker 4: Here's the He's all right. He's like trying to get
away from you at this point, like immediately, like you
guys are having this discussion about handcuffs, and like his
mom like wakes up and blacks back out and he
starts running.
Speaker 5: Ford will yell at him, excuse me, young Kevin, mister.
Speaker 4: M make a make an intimidation roll world. We're here.
Speaker 5: Let's see. I'm gonna make a negotiation if I can't. Okay,
That's where I was going for.
Speaker 4: When you said you're starting yelling at him, I was thinking, yeah,
but okay, okay, one success. Well, he's got a lot
of wood penalties, so let's see how he does. Uh,
all right, cool, he has no stats. Because I didn't
think you guysre gonna fight a child.
Speaker 5: Uh soil debating him at past a child?
Speaker 12: Yeah, I didn't do anything, and we have one hand grenade,
so yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I forgot you guys are the worst. So yeah, no,
he's got one hit. So, uh, you start negotiating with him,
and he negotiates with you. He's like, no, you look here,
I need an increase in my allowance. But no, so you,
uh you fail to talk him down. He's running, he's
in panic, and I try to grab him. Yeah, man, yeah,
you you can't give it a give it a sho and.
Speaker 5: Ford will just fire off the pistol into the ceiling,
just to remind them that works six successes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, all right. I grabb him by the
scruff of his collar and I hold him up, like, look,
he's still running.
Speaker 4: But you've got to, all right, chill.
Speaker 1: The fuck out. I'm gonna strap you to the goddamn
table too. You fucking listen for a second.
Speaker 3: You hurt my mom?
Speaker 1: No I didn't. She knocked herself out with her spell.
Come on, an idiot can see that. I saved your asses.
Speaker 7: Where are we?
Speaker 4: His place smells weird?
Speaker 1: Yeah it sucks, but you know what your whole fucking
house went up and smoked because of those aries bastards.
All right, those guys were trying to kill you people,
and we came there to save you, just like we
said we would. But instead of listening, everyone had to
start throwing fists. And here we are, so sit your
ass down, play your shitty ass game, and keep the
fuck quiet.
Speaker 5: You got it.
Speaker 4: You slam them down on the couch and h He's like, uh, okay.
Speaker 1: The correct response is, thank you, mister Knuckles, for saving
my xbox. Despite all the chaos and explosions and fire,
you thought about me in that last moment when your
friends were dying. Capiche.
Speaker 4: Thank you, uh except everything except capiche. Uh, but thank you.
I guess do you guys have Wi Fi?
Speaker 12: I don't know why Knuckles doesn't have kids.
Speaker 1: He's a way with.
Speaker 12: A whisper, child, whisper.
Speaker 1: You got a roof over your head, you got an Xbox,
and look, you even got some soy bars and I'll
throw one to him. No, when your mom wakes up,
When your mom wakes up, I need you to make
sure that she doesn't freak the fuck out again. Because
I cannot stress this enough. We are not going to
hurt you. We are going to keep you safe. But
I can't do that if you're running around like a
chicken with your head cut off and your mom's trying
to douse us with stundrenade ball buying bullets. Okay, so
for a long fucking night. So just chill a fuck out,
eat your soy bar, and play your fucking game.
Speaker 5: Can you do that?
Speaker 10: Please?
Speaker 4: He he looks at you and like his his face
is like the whole face is just slowly shaking and
contorting in weird ways, and he's trying to prevent it,
but like it looks like he's like gonna smile and
cry and frown, and he's just like his whole face
is just shaking.
Speaker 1: Don't cry, please, don't. This is not a time. Smile.
Speaker 4: Smile, big smile, big smile, big smile.
Speaker 1: Happy, everybody's happy. Do you play Call of Duty?
Speaker 5: Right? That?
Speaker 9: What?
Speaker 1: That is great? He can't do that's right because those
game companies, see, those fuckers will take them down to anyway.
Speaker 4: Season two taking down Horizon for their shiitty Yeah yeah,
is one of the big ten. I don't know if
you guys know.
Speaker 1: No more online only games?
Speaker 5: What kind of check would d.
Speaker 4: M you're gonna try to set up a wife when
all right, so this was gonna do for the rest
of the night. We're gonna we're gonna role play you
going through networking issues. So you got a salvage a router.
It's a fifty six. You got fifty six k otem
from from nineteen ninety three. But okay, so you it's
a surfboard. Okay, but yeah, no, yeah, you can definitely,
I guess yeah, you know, you could probably do that.
I would imagine you could tether to like a Calmlin
or whatever. Either way, there's more pressing concerns.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's a distinct possibility that some sort of person
that's taken out doctor Doom has your address and is
on the way.
Speaker 1: All right, our vault and manthis awake yet.
Speaker 3: I was volts away at the line of the two
proppy back.
Speaker 1: Okay, it's my favorite magic ovo. You're still alive, unfortunately. Yeah,
so bars, I was gonna eat on Hey, you know what,
the I managed to save one from the fire, and
I'll hand him the last one.
Speaker 4: It's a little bit it's a little bit burnt. It's
like the packaging is burnt.
Speaker 7: There's also some of his soy bars that I was
eating over his some of his wounds.
Speaker 3: There's there's chunks.
Speaker 4: It's in the guy's beard. So you can have the
rest of this immune.
Speaker 1: All right. So uh yeah, we got some problems that
are probably gonna have to be dealt with relatively soon.
So uh yeah, the problem well uh yeah, yeah, the
the the guy that killed uh doctor Doom is probably
on the way here because Genius decided to give him
our address.
Speaker 5: So oh yeah, genius is a strong word. I am
very intelligent. I've never done the IQ test. But yeah,
also Ford will point out, uh, don't you stay that
you don't have to do with the healing spells could
get probably bringing manthis back at least as another body.
Speaker 1: I can try.
Speaker 12: Takes pretty fucked up right now.
Speaker 1: I mean he he d like that whole house on fire.
That was pretty cool.
Speaker 2: Oh the house lit on fire.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah it was. It was a fucking disaster. But
I'll tell you what. Vault those aris bastards and.
Speaker 3: They didn't make it.
Speaker 2: That's good.
Speaker 3: I saw like one and then he filled me full
of bullets.
Speaker 1: They put a grenade in his fast and threw him
into the fire.
Speaker 5: For you.
Speaker 2: Very cool. I can trust you.
Speaker 4: Very cool.
Speaker 1: Unfortunately, Uh, did your car have a name?
Speaker 5: By the way, it was the Ford America, But no,
I didn't give it the name.
Speaker 1: Unfortunately America didn't make it a moment of silence for
our fallen comrade.
Speaker 5: There was so much money invested into that car.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it did more than Mantus ever did.
Speaker 3: Yeah, let me wake him up first.
Speaker 2: If you gotta be mean to him.
Speaker 5: Mantas killed the spirit.
Speaker 1: You got to wake him up so you.
Speaker 4: Can hear it.
Speaker 12: I would give you a dirty look if I could.
Speaker 3: All right, you get three wounds back fantasy.
Speaker 1: I mean to be fair, he did go all Samurai
on uh on that one guy, and uh, he like
blocked a bunch of bullets and ship. But yeah, there's
a lot of bullets, so I guess I can't believe
him too much.
Speaker 12: I may still be unconscious.
Speaker 1: Oh no, ohy, Mantas, wake up.
Speaker 8: That prospationes zero zero health for overflow.
Speaker 4: Well now it's one overflow.
Speaker 5: What did that go to? No? No, no, because overflow
is equivalent to your body, So you have a four
body I'm assuming yes, yeah, so you have zero health,
so you only have to recover one.
Speaker 4: More to be Oh oh you're saying the box the
overflow says four. Yeah, okay, yeah, that's fine. Yeah, that's
that's how many are left before you're dead dead.
Speaker 12: Oh okay, cool, cool? Oh yeah I had I had one.
Speaker 16: I was almost dead, so something.
Speaker 1: Yeah, is there any way to recover stun damage or is.
Speaker 4: That just overtime bed's over time or with a trink
I'm sorry, a stem patch. But uh, after after fifty minutes,
the damage comes back plus one. Oh, and it can't
be and it can't be resisted.
Speaker 2: Nope.
Speaker 4: So once that stem patch wears off on these two, they're.
Speaker 1: Gonna let's hope that guy gets here within forty nine minutes, because.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna walk over to Ford, all right, but I'm
just gonna do my best here. I'm feeling a little
bit more spry. Now, all right, you don't have any
bullets left in you?
Speaker 5: Right? Uh? Garbage, man? Do I have any bullets left
in me?
Speaker 8: I think I'm won't doing that and making the strongest,
you know, if the press don't kill you the infection.
Speaker 2: Matt, Yeah, that's pretty sounded okay, So I was just waiting.
Speaker 5: It's funny because your accent sounds like Northern Ontario French accents.
I actually, do you understand what you're saying.
Speaker 7: Right now?
Speaker 10: Yeah?
Speaker 4: I think I think it's the same people, isn't it
pretty much age act?
Speaker 7: Right?
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, but it's the same people. Like the Northern
Ontario French are the ones that that moved down They
became the Arcadians and then the Cajuns once they got
down there.
Speaker 7: Yes, it is a little bit more of the more. Yeah,
it's that creole kind of that grumbly truck driver from
the south. Yeah.
Speaker 5: So it is kind of funny because I do actually understand,
like me, Aaron understands what you're saying.
Speaker 4: Do me a favorite say say at two fey, thank you? Hilarious?
Speaker 12: All right, get that.
Speaker 7: All right?
Speaker 2: You get a two wombs back board or two health
back or whatever.
Speaker 5: Yes, I put that in. Thank you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, is mantis up now?
Speaker 3: No, I can't once I cast one.
Speaker 7: I can't.
Speaker 3: I can't redo it for you guys.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you can only held once magic camp.
Speaker 2: How you feel?
Speaker 1: Oh me, I'm great, Yeah, a little singed, but he
points hold out the jacket.
Speaker 4: He points he's got like some burns on like the
leg of his jeans.
Speaker 1: Nice that Yeah, yeah, all things considered. Uh, I'm doing Uh,
I'm doing fucking great.
Speaker 4: He holds up his left hand, he holds up the pinky,
and the pink he's got like a blister on it burned.
Speaker 3: You got a blister on your trigger finger from killing
all of those guys, is what happened.
Speaker 4: It's trigger fingers chapped.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean, if we're gonna get, you know,
attacked again, she might be helpful, but considering the situation,
But I don't know if you want to wake her
up again.
Speaker 3: No, since we kidnapped her family, I feel like she's
just gonna try to.
Speaker 1: Kidnapping is a real strong word considering they were about
to be murdered. Wait, I could kidnapped. I'm like Kevin, Kevin,
play your game.
Speaker 4: I thought you you guys were protecting me. I've been kidnapped.
Speaker 5: We are protecting you the exactly the job was to
make sure that you live for at least two more days.
Speaker 2: After what Oh my god, you weren't at least okay?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, so we need to deal with whoever's coming, right, So.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5: Ord's laying in the bed like kind of still bleeding
from his shoulder, but he's got a pistol and he's
kind of aimed it at the door.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we have any idea who this guy might be.
Speaker 5: I think it's the FBI.
Speaker 3: Well that's like really bad, right, Oh, I hope it's
not the FBI. I guess if it's someone else, we
can probably just kill him. It's the FBI or.
Speaker 8: Fucked well, honestly, you gets kind of frag then no.
Speaker 1: Anyway, I mean, they can't be nearly as bad as
those Aris guys, can They.
Speaker 16: The government more money and more problem mm hmm.
Speaker 1: Uh well, yeah, I don't know, you know, I'll whatever
you guys need me to do, I'll do. But I
uh yeah, I don't you know. I'm just gonna get
this ready. I'm just gonna start loading the gun and
make sure I'm good to go.
Speaker 2: They got the claw hammer, start polishing it, spit on
it your pants?
Speaker 1: Ye, Doc, is there anything else you can do for
for mances here?
Speaker 4: You could do one more test on him, even though
technically he'd have to do the best before the spell, but.
Speaker 8: Like, yeah, I was about to say I had to
do it before the spell, but I can if the
GM allows it, I'll do it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, oh yeah, go for it.
Speaker 12: No money, no money, no money.
Speaker 1: Just let's scar la plus to role play an unconscious person.
Speaker 7: Any modifiers uh net plus two yeah, or successes.
Speaker 1: So he'll there you go.
Speaker 8: I'm conscious, regrettably sorry, I'm leaning in really close and
you can smell the nasty garlic breath.
Speaker 3: M hm you laugh.
Speaker 12: You ain't dead, unfortunately, it seems mm hm.
Speaker 7: Maybe next time I'm just gonna lean back and walk off.
Speaker 1: Oh you are, you've probably seen better days.
Speaker 10: Huh.
Speaker 12: It would appear my debt is still not paid, you see.
Speaker 1: Knuckles raises an eyebrown and he's like, yeah, well, anyway,
we've got a few things to worry about before we
pay your debts and all that. We might have some
company real soon.
Speaker 2: Yeah, help me up.
Speaker 1: I will help him up.
Speaker 4: You help him up.
Speaker 15: I'm gonna I kind of take off one of my
swords with the the scabbard still in it and like
use it as a support.
Speaker 4: Okay. It's a very very expensive crutch.
Speaker 12: One of my regular swords, not my not my badass
chlowe once.
Speaker 4: Okay, okay, so so pretty expensive.
Speaker 12: Oh tuche.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I have a.
Speaker 12: Cloning my family for five hundred years.
Speaker 5: Oh what?
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, so we've we've got company coming and they
may or may not be responsible for taking out doctor
Do is the the suspicion should we have here?
Speaker 5: Yeah? I hope. I hope doctor Doon instead.
Speaker 1: You know, of all the people to hate that we've
come across.
Speaker 5: He did this to himself. He did this to us.
Speaker 7: I promise you what.
Speaker 1: We have a strange sense of justice. But okay, I
mean would any of us done any different?
Speaker 12: We brought this on ourselves.
Speaker 3: I would not have sold that because I could not
have found that pay data.
Speaker 4: But I don't know how to do that.
Speaker 1: But if you have the pay data, you would have
sold it.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean I'm homeless. I like money.
Speaker 5: If I had sold that pay data, I would have
left the country. That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Maybe he tried anyway, lamenting the loss of our dear friend,
doctor Doom. Do we just wait kind of see what happens?
Speaker 6: You know?
Speaker 1: Guns ready?
Speaker 5: Can can we look around, like, is there's anything in
here that we could like set up a trap or
something like? Is there like electrical wires that we could
just like throw at the door.
Speaker 7: So when the.
Speaker 4: Electricity does work, when the generator is on.
Speaker 5: Okay, can I roll an industrial mechanics check to see
if I can like set the generator up as like
a trap on the door.
Speaker 4: Uh so you're trying to connect like, uh, like the
electrical wires to the door and then.
Speaker 5: To the door knob. Yes, okay, yeah, okay, great?
Speaker 12: Why why are we not just leaving in Ford's car?
Speaker 1: That too too soon? I do like the the motion
across the neck.
Speaker 2: What happened to his car?
Speaker 5: No, it's apparently burns in the fire.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I I couldn't get the car out and all
of you at the same time. Oh that fire. The
plan was to put you all in the car and
then drive out, but the fire was spreading rapidly.
Speaker 8: And yeah, if you all want to leave, we we
do have montrod ain't brehead if you own.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we should probably leave.
Speaker 7: Is there? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Is there a reason we're trying to make a stand
while we're.
Speaker 12: All injured against the potential FBI?
Speaker 1: All right, let's go.
Speaker 12: I mean, knuckles could probably just kill all of them.
Speaker 4: But yeah, okay, only if they bring rockets. Only if
they bring rockets.
Speaker 1: I appreciate the vote of confidence, but yeah, let's uh, well,
where are we gonna go.
Speaker 2: Then just call Jimmy and have another safe house. CV
had one set up.
Speaker 1: All right, I'll load up our guests and I will
go get the barrel and uh and then I'll get
what's her face?
Speaker 5: Oh my god.
Speaker 4: So I just have this image of my head of
you turning the barrel outside and rolling.
Speaker 1: It and uh oh no, no, I've got I'm carrying.
I'm carrying.
Speaker 7: I had that exact same thought with.
Speaker 4: The Yeah, yeah, it sounds like it sounds like a
dryer with a shoe in it. Oh yeah, m.
Speaker 1: All right, Kevin, we we gotta go. There's there's bad
people coming here. So we got of a mouse.
Speaker 4: Hold on. I'm almost done. Give me like five minutes
I turn it off. He's like whoa, oh sorry, Uh yeah, yeah, okay,
all right, I guess I guess we can go.
Speaker 3: I guess it's a little bit more important than whatever
this is.
Speaker 1: Come on, like, if there's any like bags or something,
wrap up his xbox so he can at least carry
it with him.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, there's there. Yeah, you definitely find there. They're
old bags from uh Garfield's Beverage Depot liquor store. The
bags are super thick, the last forever.
Speaker 1: Here, put put your thing in there. Those are definitely
not biodegradable.
Speaker 4: No, definitely not. So Yeah, he sacks up the Xbox
and his controller and uh, you guys head outside to
the glorious garbage truck.
Speaker 1: All right, I'll call Jimmy up while they're loading up.
I'll get on my bike and get ready and then yeah,
see if we can get another spot.
Speaker 4: So you get hold of Jimmy and he's he's talking
to you about uh. He's like, oh, that's I mean,
that's the good one. Uh, I mean as far as
heidils go, I got h ah, let me see if
I got a.
Speaker 8: M I'm gonna lean out the window and shout out
to uh, to whomever that uh tell tell him to
give us give us my normal spot.
Speaker 1: I'll tell them that Doc says, give him a normal spot.
Speaker 4: Oh I uh mister, yeah, you know what, there's a
It doesn't look like anybody in there right now. Yeah,
you guys should be good here. I'll send you the
what the fuck was the address here? I'll send you
you know what, give me a minut I'll send you
the address. What's going on, you guys? Why are you
guys getting out of there. It's it's one of the
best places. I mean, it smells a little fucking awful,
but you know it's uh spacious, well apparent.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a conspiracy theory that may or may not
be confirmed that somebody took out Doctor Doom and they
know that we're here. What so, uh yeah, and I'll
give him the breakdown as far as knuckles under.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's that's not good. That's not good.
Speaker 3: He was.
Speaker 4: Uh oh, okay, I gotta update some stuff here. I got,
I guess you know what, uh ship, yeah, you got
You guys are really you guys are really fucking me
on this.
Speaker 17: Uh.
Speaker 4: I don't know why I deal with you guys. You
guys are real fucking answer to my health, my like
you give me fucking hemorrhoids, you know what. Sorry, excuse me,
excuse me just a moment, please excuse me. Yeah, you
know what, I'll get it figured out and I'll get
back to you guys. I guess, but I'll send you
the address and uh, uh the fuck?
Speaker 5: All right?
Speaker 1: Thanks right?
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no, no, this is for you.
You keep it, you keep it, thank you, yes, thank you?
All right bye, goodbye, peace.
Speaker 12: Do you remind him that were the main characters.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, but he's probably he's involved in I assume
he's involved in other campaigns.
Speaker 4: So you know, he's got a lot of stuff going.
Speaker 1: He's been, he's he's really the main character of this
universe all strings. He's like, what is Kevin Bacon?
Speaker 5: Bacon? Yeah?
Speaker 4: Yeah, six degrees of separation from Jimmy three legs?
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. All right, Doc, we're ready, No, let's.
Speaker 4: Go, Yes, drive off. You guys are in the back.
It's like a wooded area, and you guys cruise out
and uh, I'm gonna see you guys get out of
there in enough time to break away from who's coming.
But give me one of those mechanical engineering or industrial
engineering joshial mechanics, whatever you had. Yeah, yeah, give me
the test.
Speaker 5: One success on nine dikes.
Speaker 4: Jesus Christ, you feel good about it?
Speaker 1: Well, Hey, before we go to our next scene here, Adam,
why don't we take our breaks right at our halfway point?
Speaker 4: Yeah, sounds good, All right, but.
Speaker 1: Take your break, get some doctor Pepper and all that
good stuff. Listeners, We will be back, all right, listeners,
We're back. But before we get back to the action,
there's something that we have to share with you that
we completely forgot about at the beginning of the session.
So Sean decided to fuck around with chat GPT this week.
And I believe what you said is you asked it
to roast east each of our characters, right, yeah.
Speaker 3: I gave it a description at you know, like features,
and then I asked it to roast them, and then
I told it to make it more condescending and meaner.
Speaker 1: And it was.
Speaker 6: It was.
Speaker 1: It was fucking brilliant. So I love them all. I
don't know if I if I have a favorite. There
were some real good one liners in these. So Sean,
since this was your brainchild, we'll have you go first tonight.
It will switch, So pick one of the other characters,
not your own and read what GPT had to say.
Speaker 3: I think I'll go with manliness.
Speaker 2: Okay, ah, where to begin with our dear mantis.
Speaker 3: Picture this self proclaimed ascetic monk pulling it a decrepit
burnt out building, adorned with long, grim dreadlocks cascading down
his back like a waterfall of apathy. He dons a long,
tattered black coat, a testament to his fashion sense or
lack thereof, and proudly carries not one, not two, but
four swords because apparently one just isn't enough for his
pacifist endeavors. But wait, here's more. Our homeless hero and
his infinite wisdom has adorned himself not only the weapons
of a small army, but also with two extra mechanical arms,
because who needs subtlety when you can have mechanical appending
is flailing about like malfunctioning octopus. Let's not forget his
weapon of choice, a bow and arrow, because in a
world of advanced technology and firepower, nothing screams I'm totally
out of touch, like good old bow and arrow. But
fear not, Romantis is not just any shadow runner. He's
the epitome of contradiction, a walking calamity of waiting to happen.
Case in points his accidental unleashing of a banjee by tripping.
Speaker 7: Over the power of a cord.
Speaker 3: Bravo, bravo. It takes a special kind of skill to
embody both the tranquility of a monk and the chaos
of a banchie something klutz.
Speaker 2: So here's to you, Mantis.
Speaker 3: May your dreadlocks never get caught in your mechanical arms,
and may your pastor's ideals somehow survive the chaos on
the world.
Speaker 1: Wow, that needs to.
Speaker 6: Be that's my dreads getting caught.
Speaker 1: In my arms.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So we've got more listeners. We'll read one each week
to keep the keep the drama going. But holy fun
was that ship fun?
Speaker 5: O man? Right?
Speaker 1: Adam taking away? Oh?
Speaker 4: Man, I would love to take this away. So, uh,
let's see, you guys were cheesing it, I believe. So
you had done some sort of sabotage work and then
got into the old garbage truck and are driving off.
Who's riding shotgun in the trash?
Speaker 5: Trash?
Speaker 1: All ill?
Speaker 12: Okay?
Speaker 4: There we go forwards in the front okay, all right, so,
uh Kevin is panicking in the back of the back seat,
excuse me, in the the trash heap with the corpses,
the mangled corpses, and uh, you know, the other two
of you guys are at home, I suppose among the
squalor and you gotta deal with him the whole ride.
But you get to where we're going. I'm not even
I don't even know where you guys are going, but
you guys are going there, uh knuckles, you're following the
garbage truck. Where does the garbage truck go?
Speaker 7: I guess I'll take that.
Speaker 8: So the garbage truck is going to pull into what
looks like an old, forgotten meat processing plant from probably
before the second Crash Matrix crash. So there's those rusty hooks,
the freezers pretty well easily defended because you know it's
off the grid. No one knows it's there.
Speaker 7: But there's this air of.
Speaker 8: Disgusting in the air, Like if you are a magic
user and you're looking in the astral you would definitely
see a lot of the uh the pain from the
animal is being butchered here.
Speaker 4: Oh a lot of fear, panic, pain, remorse, loss, regret, and.
Speaker 7: A lot of boredom from people who worked here.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, those people their emotions turned off, stunted. You
can't have emotions in that line of work. Every day
you go in cows dying, screaming as you put the
piston against their head, pull the trigger and watch them
just die. You gotta turn off. It can't be human.
When you're there, they rotate you off of the killing
floor after two months.
Speaker 8: So I am going to pull the garbage truck into
one of the one of the warehouse doors and climb out.
Speaker 4: Door, rolls up. It's an overhead door.
Speaker 1: Welcome home, appreciate the place to a crash doc.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, just touch some of these these things. You'll up.
Speaker 8: As he walks off, He'll stop as you see a
couple of cyber arms that are still in one piece
but kind of rusted. Definitely tell that they were not
removed carefully. Those are there.
Speaker 7: Got clean up.
Speaker 8: As he wanders off to clean up and restock his supplies.
Speaker 4: Do you guys have a gross home away from home?
Away from home?
Speaker 5: Pourd will look over and help Kevin set up his xbox.
Speaker 12: Will find somewhere to rest you do.
Speaker 4: After a short while after the xbox is set up,
Kevin sitting there and then he just like he's like,
I don't feel so good, and he black X out
just stim patch wears off.
Speaker 7: M hmm.
Speaker 3: I'm trying to make sure he's still like alive.
Speaker 4: He's alive. He's got physical like there's like a little
bit of blood, you know, just a little bit, just
kind of creeping out of a corner of his mouth.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 4: However, Sarah starts convulsing right at the same time, like
she's just like convulsing violently and uh uh she's got
blood you know, eyes, nose, your's mouth, the head, shoulders,
sneez and toes like it's uh.
Speaker 3: That's killing me.
Speaker 7: Uh, doc is gonna come walk him back calmly.
Speaker 1: Why she's dying?
Speaker 8: Oh and then using too much magic and stimpat war off. Look,
he's gonna look at a calm link. Yeah yeahm linking
all right, bring over here, and he's gonna just pull
a h a rolling cart that you would usually see
freight get on.
Speaker 4: Well flatbed one.
Speaker 1: M okay, I load her up.
Speaker 4: She's convulsing, she's got the black shakes, n as, this
causes it. No Johnny and Numonica, but no, you load.
Speaker 12: Her up rolling information over lough.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there we go, Thank you somebody.
Speaker 7: All right, So I guess give her a medicine check
to at least one.
Speaker 4: Of those those guys should be able to lurn down
uh modifiers, let's see uh uh yeah, I think net
plus two yep, because she's got maggy stuff. And then
we're indoors. It is definitely not a clean facility.
Speaker 7: No it's not. I got a four.
Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, it's enough. So she stops convulsing. She's still unconscious,
but uh, you get rid of the the additional damage
that's being inflicted by this thing.
Speaker 16: Well, if he is taken care of m m thanks
mm hm.
Speaker 4: So you guys, uh, I guess, are gonna rest up
here for a couple of days to get through everything.
So a little bit of medical assistance in between. And
you guys laying low, taking it easy. You don't uh
you make it two days and Ford, you get a call.
Do you get a call from uh from Hagis and
he tells you that he's on the.
Speaker 5: Trail whatever issue. Who took her?
Speaker 4: Not sure yet, but it's not the FBI.
Speaker 2: Mhm.
Speaker 5: Doctor doom is dead.
Speaker 4: I don't know who that is.
Speaker 5: It's it's a man has it doesn't out there he's dead.
Speaker 4: Did some kind of expression.
Speaker 5: No, it's the name of a person. But okay, I
guess let me know. Uh yeah, matters.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll keep you up to date, h Adam.
Speaker 1: Mister Johnson said he was gonna contact us, right he did.
Speaker 4: He said he would contact you and probably about two days.
Speaker 1: I was gonna say two to three days, I think
that is what he said. Okay, yeah, all right, Well,
when when Ford is off the phone, I'll be uh
I'll say, uh, hey, man, it's gonna be all right.
We'll find her and well we'll kick in the teeth
whoever took her.
Speaker 5: It's it's fucked up, man, that's all I know.
Speaker 1: It's yeah, yeah, it is, but we'll make it right.
Speaker 5: As Sarah Marr walking up at this point, yeah.
Speaker 4: I mean this is this Uh yeah, it's the next day.
Speaker 1: So she she wakes up, I would be uh basically
staying in her general vicinity waiting for her to wake up.
So as she wakes up, person she sees.
Speaker 4: Yeah, she wakes up, and you know it's a gasp thing.
Kevin's Kevin, after having you know a little bit of
a freak out, metals back down and you know he's
playing He's playing his Xbox and eating questionable food and uh,
you know he's he's just like, is my mom, Okay,
where's my dad? He was supposed to come home for dinner,
but like we're not there, so and like the house
isn't there anymore. I guess where's he gonna go for dinner?
So it's just it's and then you and then you
start to answer. As soon as you start to answer
the question, he starts asking other questions. So do you
ever go to college? Did you ever go to college?
I think I'm gonna go to college. I don't know,
like my dad wants me to. Yeah, you know, my
dad thinks that I should just follow in his foots
and run the company like that.
Speaker 1: I don't, you know.
Speaker 4: I just I think I might go to college. Have
you ever had pizza with pineapple on it?
Speaker 7: I heard do that?
Speaker 4: I mean, I just I don't even know what a
pineapple really is. Is it like an apple and pine
nuts combined? What are pine nuts? Where does it come from?
But like it's just this constant stream of just consciousness.
It's awful. But uh, Sarah wakes up and you're there
so like her first thing immediately as she's like and
then like it is looking around trying to figure out
where she.
Speaker 1: Is and start this again, or I'm gonna knock your
ass out myself. You already did it the first time,
and yet you're still alive, So fucking take a second
and think before you fucking make me angry or do
something stupid again, and realize that you're still in the
land of the living, and maybe we can have a
civilized conversation. Can we do that.
Speaker 4: She goes, I think I'm gonna pass out, and then
her eyes back and she lays back down, and then
immediately she like snaps for it. She's like, where the
hell are we?
Speaker 1: All right?
Speaker 4: What is this place? This is awful?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it is all right, but you know it's
more awful being inside your house while it's on fire
and kidnapped by aries psychopath agents. All right, luckily, knuckles
in this gang, we're there to save your ass. So
as we said the first time, we were sent to
make sure you guys didn't get kidnapped or domed. All right,
and you're all still alive. Both your kids are here,
alive and well right, your daughter is under control, not
raving and trying to eat our brains.
Speaker 4: Okay, So where is she she needs she's in.
Speaker 1: It's not a buckets, it's a fucking it's it's one
of those big drums, you know, like an oil drum,
but plastic. How else are we gonna keep the oxygen
off of her? Right? Okay, It's the best I can do.
Speaker 4: She she needs she needs to feed.
Speaker 1: How do we do that? I?
Speaker 4: Uh, I need to I need to be with her.
Speaker 1: You stay here and I'll go bring the barrel inside
the room, you roll the barrel in, I'm not rolling in,
I'm carrying.
Speaker 7: I still think you're more of the savage.
Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, But the reason in particular he wouldn't
roll the barrel with the little girl is because Ford
is his friend, and Ford has a daughter, and the daughter,
Knuckles kind of considers like like a godchild or a niece.
So he wouldn't do that to the little girl. It
was Kevin's noisy ass, maybe, but but the little girl.
So he'll bring it in, like, and he wants Sarah
to fucking chill out and realize that we're not the
bad guys here.
Speaker 3: Good.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm a bad guy, but I'm not a bad guy.
Speaker 1: So like, she's.
Speaker 4: Just the look of horror on her face as you
bring that barrel in.
Speaker 1: She's alive. Okay, look, if you got a better suggestion,
I'm all ears, all right, but the fucking neighborhood was
going up. Aries, agents are all over the place, and
I was the only one still standing.
Speaker 4: So you I'm sorry, Aries, Ok.
Speaker 1: Yeah, those were the guys that were shooting at us
and you and your kids.
Speaker 5: Oh my god, they tried to shoot your doctor with
so many.
Speaker 1: Took down four or five of those assholes. They killed me.
Speaker 4: Who's that? Who are you?
Speaker 10: Oh?
Speaker 5: You? Fuck you?
Speaker 10: WHOA?
Speaker 1: What'd you?
Speaker 12: I'm like, I'm like barely holding myself, Like I'm like,
I'm just like, what the fuck look on my face?
Speaker 5: Unplugged?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah it was you.
Speaker 4: It's your fault. But it's all your fault. Uh I,
Oh my god. It makes so much sense, all the
all the disappearances, all the.
Speaker 1: Right, back up, back up. Maybe you can fill us
in on some of these missing blanks here.
Speaker 4: They there's been people missing, people from from work have
been going missing, and it's no one can explain what
was happening. And it's if they came, if they came
to my house and they were trying to if that
was aries, it was all right.
Speaker 1: I don't know how many assholes that have their own
logo on their fucking laser pointers.
Speaker 3: That's what kept saying they were hardcore. So I think
that's the group as hard right.
Speaker 4: Oh my god, Howard's in trouble.
Speaker 1: Am where we find him?
Speaker 4: He was, he was at work, he was he both
of us technically work for affirm. It was acquired recently
by Areas. It's it's called uh Gortees Alchemical. I can
give you the address and it's I I do. I
do security work for them at nights. I UH count
spirits to patrol and he's a researcher there. I used
to be a researcher there, but I after after what
happened to Tina, I can't. I have to be home,
I have to be with her, and it's I. I
had to stop. And they were kind enough to, you know,
keep me on the payroll. So I do security for them.
But I think got acquired by Aries, and and one
of the one of the executives, has gone missing, and
there's been a couple of other disappearances. And we didn't
we knew something was going on. I didn't. I didn't
think it was I didn't think it was the company.
You're sure it wasn't Eagle. You're sure it wasn't Eagle.
Speaker 5: Eagle was supposed to come.
Speaker 1: Yeah it was Eagle. No, Oh, it was Aries, Oh
my god.
Speaker 2: Oh no.
Speaker 5: While this conversation is happening, can I text mister Johnson
and ask him do we have a location on how
m That's all same.
Speaker 4: You get a message, you get a message back that says,
every things under control. Meet me at four pm tomorrow.
Speaker 1: We're supposed to bring all that boy right, yes, the
original plan.
Speaker 3: Do his text sound like how he normally speaks? Has
he been tagging out by someone.
Speaker 1: To we call someone? I'll take mister Johnson from us
here there.
Speaker 4: Hit me with one of those uh intelligence or sorry,
intellect and intuition, loduition and logic. Hey, I just had
a delicious drink. It's called a stormy dark and stormy
dark and stormy dark and story that brought to you
by Gosling ginger beer and some rum and some wine juice.
Gosling's ginger beer not as good as I forgot what
it's called. But the Australian one, that's the good one.
It's like bunga bore or something like that. That's the
good one.
Speaker 1: God one success I got four mm hm.
Speaker 5: How what's the rate of healing for like? Is it
one a day or something like that.
Speaker 4: We'll look at that in just a moment. Okay, are
you you're applying your wom penalties already?
Speaker 5: All right?
Speaker 4: Yeah, let me we'll look at that first then, because
you guys have a full day of rest in here.
Speaker 5: So.
Speaker 4: Bye bye, we got you can't heal physical as long
as you've got stun damage. The stunt damage goes away.
At let's see you make a body plus willpower per
hour test and each hit heels a box of stun
and then uh so that that probably goes pretty quick.
But then your physical damage, you know, I'm gonna say
that you guys, the the stunt damage goes away for everybody,
and then we're gonna do one physical test, so body
times two.
Speaker 1: You don't want to each to roll twelve tests here
for the last twenty four hours. I don't. I don't think.
Speaker 4: I'm not into it.
Speaker 8: Do they get any bonuses seeing tech? I am technically
quote unquote a doctor.
Speaker 4: Legally speaking, no, but technically yes, So yeah, you get
to add to it. So let's see characters with the
medicine skill are able to speed the healing process. Character
makes a medicine plus logic limited by mental test apply
probrium modifiers. So again, the same same thing plus two
for everybody. That's magic y plus three for Ford and
I think, what's what's knuckle? No, knuckles doesn't even need it.
Speaker 7: So yeah, fine, all right, So here's the each go ahead.
Speaker 4: Each hit that you get gets plus one die to
the healing test that the characters make.
Speaker 8: All right, this is for magic people, holy ship dumn
six and.
Speaker 7: This is for the non magic not non magic people.
Speaker 5: I'll tell you three.
Speaker 3: Okay, so we do our what's our role? Our body
times too or.
Speaker 4: What body times to?
Speaker 12: Uh?
Speaker 4: For the magic you guys? Body times? Do you plus
six each?
Speaker 1: Thank?
Speaker 6: So?
Speaker 10: Uh?
Speaker 3: Do we apply wounds to this role?
Speaker 8: Uh?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 5: Okay you do?
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I'm I'm.
Speaker 5: Below the threshold for wound penalties.
Speaker 4: But nice, that's hard.
Speaker 6: That'll do.
Speaker 2: I heal a box for each success. Yes, okay, cool,
I am unwounded now.
Speaker 4: Oh nice, you're looking spry.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Living in not a burnt up building seems to be
doing wonders for my eeling.
Speaker 3: You know, an eat packing plant might be the next
place I live, Guys, I swear.
Speaker 4: Moving up in the world. Yeah, haunted meat processing plant.
Speaker 1: How did how did you end up living in that building?
Speaker 3: Anyway?
Speaker 2: If yo wind me ask you, Well, I used to
live somewhere else.
Speaker 3: I was working in Pittsburgh. Some awful shit happened. I
kind of just started wandering and I found myself here.
There was kind of like a gang of people who
was living there, and I wanted it.
Speaker 2: So I burst them out.
Speaker 1: Oh damn, okay they some.
Speaker 2: Of them are still alive. Okay, not that part.
Speaker 5: No judgment in here, right.
Speaker 3: And then you know, Mantis one day showed up. It
was like, go what I was like, Okay, you could
live here too. You know, two homeless people's better than
a gang, right.
Speaker 10: I guess.
Speaker 12: You didn't tell me that you ran off a group
of people. Priory, Okay, fair enough?
Speaker 5: Right?
Speaker 1: And then uh, I'll look to manthis and be like,
all right, and how about you. I'm sorry, repeat the question.
Speaker 12: I'm too busy being bruised up and treating my wounds
over here.
Speaker 4: I'm busy trying to not like I was asking how
you ended up there.
Speaker 12: I ended up with that home. It was it was
near a place that I frequent When you.
Speaker 1: Put it that way, all right, well, thank you for
enlightening me. I was really good.
Speaker 4: Thanks for the details.
Speaker 2: My red story was extra short of the mind.
Speaker 12: Okay, it's right by where my wife and kid did.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, geez, like.
Speaker 4: The short short version better?
Speaker 3: Sorry, man, do you want to go like kill some people?
Speaker 2: It's like a revenge thing or.
Speaker 12: Do I want to go kill some people?
Speaker 5: Know?
Speaker 12: Do I want to get this mission done and get paid?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 5: And ooth rock. You see Ford kind of like a
behind and he's doing like the world's smallest violin motion.
Speaker 1: I'll do the motion again, like.
Speaker 4: No, no, no, what's wrong with you?
Speaker 1: Get a motherfucker, get a break around here, dude.
Speaker 5: Boris were go back. He's an asshole, Like that's just
how it is.
Speaker 10: Is that how that works.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get child services in here, no wonder.
Speaker 4: Hey, I'm just gonna throw this out there. I was,
I was, I was gooving around on them internets and
uh was talking to somebody about the show and like
the guy the guys from like Montreal, uh and uh, hey,
sorry dude.
Speaker 5: It's okay. It's it's a it's a joke that like
people from Ontario and people went back famously don't get along.
But it's it's a joke to.
Speaker 12: No mean, he's just mean to Mantas all the time.
He's a he's a bully.
Speaker 5: Yeah, make decisions. That's like part of his character. I have.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, all right, Well anyway, man to say, I
didn't need to.
Speaker 5: Drink, so.
Speaker 12: It's fine. I didn't mean to snap at you. My apologies.
Speaker 3: I get it, I get it.
Speaker 1: We're all a little stressed out right now. But you know,
I figured, after all, we've been through it, nearly dying
and saving everybody. You know, we could I don't know,
on the lit kumbaya maybe you know, past the time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, go grab a beer.
Speaker 4: So you guys look over you guys look over the
attack messages, and uh it seems similar, but a little
bit more wordy than normal. Yeah, let me get logic
and intuition. I think, uh, I think that's what we
were trying to do. And then everybody's like, I want
to have no wound penalties.
Speaker 12: I had one success I had my oldest four.
Speaker 4: Okay, I had one, but I had get more successes.
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's so many, fucking.
Speaker 1: Baby daddy, it's a new pair of shoes or zero's.
Speaker 4: He's one away from it being a crick glitch. That's right,
that's right. Okay, that's like him swallowing the phone on accident.
Speaker 1: Almost.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so limit one hundred. Oh yeah, your edge is
still turned on. Dude.
Speaker 5: Oh well, why did you roll for me?
Speaker 7: Though I didn't mean to roll for you. Out Looking.
Speaker 4: For you don't work.
Speaker 5: The successes.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I was other do that.
Speaker 4: I didn't either. That's that's hilarious. He's just gonna spend
your edge for you. Don't worry, all right, So you
I don't know where anymore. Okay, So you guys, uh,
you guys, look at it. Uh Ford, you get this thing.
You're looking at it and you're like, this seems a
little weird, and you notice the capitalization in the text
and you put it together and it spells out, help.
Speaker 1: Jesus Christ.
Speaker 5: Mister Johnson is in danger apparently. Oh great, and he
asked us to meet us at four pm tomorrow but
also early. I'm thinking we go maybe out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm I need I mean, are you guys up
to it? I'm feeling the best spry.
Speaker 5: We need a new vehicle, so it's so said, Yeah.
Speaker 3: But we have a lot of money and I don't
spend any of my money, so you know, we could
probably pick up a pretty easy right, it won't be tricked.
Speaker 4: Out, but.
Speaker 1: Yeah, sure.
Speaker 5: We could buy a vehicle, or like, we don't have
that much money, to be honest, we could just steal one.
Speaker 2: I mean, I've got like forty thousand new gun at this.
Speaker 5: Point, I forget how much cars costs. But I bought
the Ford America for a reason. It's because it was cheap. No,
for it's gonna suggest that we just steal.
Speaker 3: Good Yeah we could also just you know, if he
doesn't mind, take that garbage truck and just drive it
through the building.
Speaker 1: Hey, hey, doc, are you are you playing it on?
Speaker 4: Like?
Speaker 1: Uh, you know, coming with us when we go do
our errands and everything, or are you just here for
the medical aid stuff?
Speaker 8: I uh, I'm pulling one of the uncon well quote
unquote unconscious garbage men out of the back.
Speaker 7: I really did have a job.
Speaker 8: But if you need help, can helps cost him?
Speaker 7: Ex now? You him?
Speaker 16: Yeah, Hey that's fine, we need help and get help.
All right, Okay, I guess.
Speaker 1: He's in right.
Speaker 3: That was easy.
Speaker 10: There you go.
Speaker 4: You talked him into it.
Speaker 1: Exactly.
Speaker 5: See.
Speaker 1: Now we don't have to go buy a car steal
a car. It's just for good to go easy. Yeah,
check a pensapolist next.
Speaker 2: All right, So we want miss Murr to come with us,
since this pertains to probably her husband.
Speaker 1: I would and I'll look out. I assume missus Murr
is going to play nice and come along and I'll
look at her.
Speaker 4: Come along. Where what are we doing?
Speaker 1: I need to all right, look, look, the guy who
hired us to protect you and keep you and your
kids safe is in.
Speaker 2: Trouble, odd argue, that's really not your business.
Speaker 1: Do we need to hold secrets at this point? Honestly?
Does it matter?
Speaker 5: We were shadow runners? We don't. We don't know who.
For all we know, your husband could have been the
one too, Howard, I don't know. I'm just thinking for
oh it could.
Speaker 15: Do you want to figure out more of what's going on,
We need to go do this. It could be vital
to saving your husband and finding out where he is.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that way, Yeah, that's the way to say.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, there's a reason. Man this hugely talks, right,
he's the one that doesn't talk in here.
Speaker 4: Where where are we going?
Speaker 1: What's the name of the club it is?
Speaker 6: Uh?
Speaker 2: That's scroll.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, there's a lot of crap in the journal.
Speaker 1: Sorry, look involved.
Speaker 2: Yeah, nightclub.
Speaker 3: I thought it was a strict club.
Speaker 4: That's where we meet with the guy who's paid us,
the alabastrom Maiden.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the nightclub.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm, that's a lot.
Speaker 4: Howard is at the nightclub. I don't understand what's going on.
None of this makes sense.
Speaker 1: I thought you may just smart guys.
Speaker 5: Okay, to hear you, Let's start from the beginning here,
ms Burn. So we were hired by somebody who was
given a job by somebody else that we do not know,
specifically to protect you and your children. Howard was not
part of them. You're with me so far?
Speaker 4: How does I guess?
Speaker 5: Okay?
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that for sake, we are hired a guy
named mister Johnson. We don't know who hired him.
Speaker 5: Yeah. When I asked this man about Howard, he said
he sent encrypted messages asking for help. That that potentially
means that Howard may have been the person to hire us,
but we don't know that. That's that's all I can say.
And then imagine how I said that in my accent
because it takes long. Yeah, that's.
Speaker 4: Okay, I'll help. Oh, I need to make sure my
kids are safe though.
Speaker 1: All right, you're gonna play nice this time? Yeah, all right,
I'll cut her loose from.
Speaker 7: Strapped in.
Speaker 12: All right.
Speaker 4: She hits you with a with a stomach.
Speaker 1: Break her neck.
Speaker 15: Old, so neative, next map, right, not three strikes?
Speaker 10: You're dead.
Speaker 4: She's like, I'll help. I'll help. Oh all right, I
need to feed my daughter. It's okay, it's best if
you're not here.
Speaker 12: Wait, Benchi's undead? Am I missing something?
Speaker 4: No, you ignorant fool.
Speaker 15: She's We just had to practically use graphs and pictures
to explain the situation to you.
Speaker 4: I don't understand your politics, okay, I don't. I don't
know your whatever.
Speaker 12: Whatever she's I don't know what banes are.
Speaker 4: She's not, she's not some monster. She's just she has
a disease.
Speaker 2: I think we watched her RiPP dude's throw it out
with her teeth.
Speaker 4: She has a disease.
Speaker 5: She has.
Speaker 4: She ate the fucking guy.
Speaker 1: So she actually helped out in a way for the
reason you're still alive. So yeah, I'll take the little
girl over the aries bastards any day of the week.
Speaker 12: Right right, She's not undead. Okay, I was just asking
a simple question.
Speaker 7: I got a quick question. Is Doc close enough to
hear this conversation?
Speaker 5: Well?
Speaker 4: Yeah, his ears are huge to hear all of this.
Speaker 8: Okay, Doc is just gonna bring the what remains of
one of the tannitation workers and just PLoP him down
next to her and just walk off.
Speaker 7: Not saying anything.
Speaker 4: She's horrified. Everyone's horrified. Every single person's horrified.
Speaker 1: What I mean, that's pretty practical.
Speaker 4: That's that's that's how this works, is how any of
this works?
Speaker 1: Well, how does it work?
Speaker 4: It's she educates off of emotions. She feeds off of emotions.
Oh okay, strong emotions, dead people.
Speaker 12: You've got a lot of those.
Speaker 3: Ye shots fired, gonna start like, yeah, out of.
Speaker 1: If you want to stunball him.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Her her eyes like light up and ship and
she's like starts glowing.
Speaker 2: We don't need to do this, come out.
Speaker 15: Look, just met this lady, all right, and I'm just
a fitting myself, and I'm a little yourself.
Speaker 4: So she starts protesting about working with mantis, and eventually
you guys smooth it over. Uh, and you guys all
leave the room, and uh, some stuff happens here, some
screaming and uh some some some some crying and some singing,
and uh, you know, about a half hour goes by
and then she she comes out and she looks absolutely exhausted,
and uh, she she goes, okay, we uh we should
be okay for for a little while. I'm just gonna
and she kind of staggers and falls.
Speaker 1: I'll try to catch her.
Speaker 2: You can't try it.
Speaker 4: You get your you get your head, you know, like yeah, yeah,
how long do we have to do this again? Every
every day? And she has this kind of tear in
her eye and she kind of smiles, and she's like
every day every day.
Speaker 5: You could you could offload this work on this lots
of people, they don't have employment opportunities here. They would
happily allow your agauta to in both nightmares inside them
for a small plant.
Speaker 4: It's it's not it's not the same. It's she's she's
my daughter, it's my Uh.
Speaker 5: Anyways, perhaps you should stay here and look after your
children since everybody else seems to and your basics.
Speaker 10: God, there might be a single mom now.
Speaker 1: The monster.
Speaker 12: Just give her a stem pack. We could use the
extra guns.
Speaker 2: What happened with this impact like two days ago?
Speaker 3: I don't think that's good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you need you need like fucking energy drink or something.
What do you mean what do you normally do?
Speaker 4: It's I just need to rest, It's U I should
be okay in a little while, like magic healing you rest.
She's like, no, I just I just took a bunch
of boxes of stun damage.
Speaker 2: Okay, get some food, like you know, come up, I
have the ones bar.
Speaker 3: You can have that.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go by a.
Speaker 4: You're a lot of yeah, you can you get you get,
you go. You order Chinese and it arrives delivered by
the FBI with guns.
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, I'm gonna go get a shinies ordering anything.
Speaker 4: Okay, okay, but yeah, you guys, you guys get some food,
and you guys get ready to go. And by the
time it's like getting close to time to roll, close
to four pm, you know she's she's doing better. You know,
she's back to her herself. And uh, you guys are
all in the garbage truck, mostly except for Knuckles, who's
the only one riding clean. Everybody's stinky and.
Speaker 12: We're riding dirty.
Speaker 4: Cat you riding dirty.
Speaker 2: We're homeless, homes dirty.
Speaker 1: Don't be so hard on yourself, man, that feels worse.
Speaker 4: Actually, you said hard on.
Speaker 2: And pre edging easy, Oh boy, you.
Speaker 4: All right? So he just blows every time.
Speaker 1: You know what I do, I just activate the trash
compactor and in the campaign.
Speaker 4: The alright, so you guys, uh start heading out towards
the Alabaster Maiden. You guys get there, and uh, did
we want to do anything before you arrive.
Speaker 12: I'm going to talk to the mage. I'm gonna do
some more low blows towards there.
Speaker 15: Oh my god, no, no, I kind of like after
some awkward silence and we're right right then ride and dirty.
I I'd be like, look, sorry about earlier. Still covering
from my wounds, and I've been losing tracks of time
here and the.
Speaker 7: Thrown me off.
Speaker 15: I'm just huge chunks of memory just gone, and I
don't understand what's happening. And then you know, when we
got into the fight at your house, your your daughter, Man,
that ability she's got really woke up some really fucked
up memories.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that that happens sometimes.
Speaker 12: Needless to say, it's been a getting past couple of days.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, she wasn't always liking.
Speaker 5: It or weeks.
Speaker 15: I don't even know when the guys make it sound
is it's been a lot longer than I realize.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Time has a funny way of doing that sneaks
up on you. You know, one day you're researcher and
you're developing cutting edge magical technology, and the next your
whole world crumbles down around you and you're taken out
of the game.
Speaker 12: Your researcher once you say your name.
Speaker 4: Was Sarah Sarah mur I used to I used to
be before my daughter got sick. I was working on
a magical reverse osmosis process, something that could extract pure
water from tainted water magically, of course, through through a
dynamic polymer process. But it's I don't know, it's complicated.
You probably don't understand it all, but it, uh, it's
my life's work. It I'm just gonna clean up the ocean.
Speaker 12: Yeah, as well as all of this sounds, what is
the sound familiar?
Speaker 3: Why is what she?
Speaker 12: Why is that name sound familiar?
Speaker 1: Which your name?
Speaker 3: I'm going to lean over and just show him my
uh like little text message phone thing that says she
was the guard at al Gorti's chemical that we were
trying to avoid, which we did.
Speaker 5: Yeah, her husband was the researcher. There is one.
Speaker 3: I mean we might have knocked him out.
Speaker 12: I don't know, No, you did do that mission who?
Speaker 5: Yes, yes, we did. I don't think order to talk
about this in front of Yeah, actually no, you know
what Ford Ford will just kind of we they used
that technology you're talking about to make a Uh I
they did do that.
Speaker 4: I yeah, I I know they were trying to weaponize it.
That's they put my husband onto that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they succeeded. It was tremendous. You know, somebody that
we know who isn't a stole those guns and we
definitely had the chance to very cool.
Speaker 4: They they were stolen. You know, I heard.
Speaker 10: I heard they were zoom right.
Speaker 4: I mean I heard they were destroyed in a fire.
Speaker 15: And watch the You don't watch the news much, studio
or baseball, I guess you know.
Speaker 4: Oh the roube you guys are and creates Jesus Christ.
Speaker 5: Well at this point, who cares? Who cares? What things?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I'm right here?
Speaker 5: Well okay, better enough? Okay, great? But yeah no that
that the the roof got shut with one of those guns. Yeah,
someone who wasn't dusted that.
Speaker 4: How did?
Speaker 12: It was all over your TV?
Speaker 7: It was it was live.
Speaker 2: It was a crazed uh mascot just didn't like his
working conditions.
Speaker 12: This is give a kid a grenade and messed up.
Speaker 4: I don't understand what you're talking about. But my husband
was working on the project. Yeah, he he took over
after I had to uh, they called it promotion.
Speaker 5: Your daughter got sick, and then you have to quit doing.
Speaker 3: Your husband took over.
Speaker 5: At this point, somebody who wasn't thus stole the guns,
bought the company, right, and then at this point as
is trying to silence anyone who knows anything. That's why
you are a target.
Speaker 1: God damn pieces together.
Speaker 2: Wow, you are pretty smart, actually, holy ship, right, yeah, I.
Speaker 4: Can, I can I use someone's calm. I need to
call Howard. I need to make sure he's okay.
Speaker 12: I don't think you should do that's not a good idea.
Speaker 5: Okay, at least on.
Speaker 1: What's wrong with using our comms would be an unknown number?
Speaker 2: Hold on, wait, I think I have like six because
I stole some from some people.
Speaker 3: We put it in air.
Speaker 4: You get all these comms that are in Chinese and
they're all blood and none of them, none of them
are charged at this point.
Speaker 14: Oh you did offer one of them and it's like
hooked up to Yeah, one of them is good, one
of them is, but the other ones are all like
there's like fingernails stuck to him and stuff.
Speaker 4: It's a mess.
Speaker 12: We're totally not sketchy, obviously, I'm sketchy.
Speaker 4: You reach into your pocket to pull out your gambleg
and you pull out a banana peel because you you're like, oh,
I'm sitting in a mountain of garbage.
Speaker 5: But yes, this, this is what's happening. I don't think
it's a good idea because he's either with somebody who
might be in the insure order. He's not in a
good place. Yeah, but we will find out.
Speaker 3: The people with mister Johnson are probably aries, right, I
hope we're assuming. I mean he's probably better them than
sucking the FBI.
Speaker 5: Actually, yeah, Ford will send a message back to mister
john and it'll be something along the lines of le
four pm isn't a good time, but perhaps we can
arrange for a later meeting, and then he'll use that
same capitalization thing to be at to ask. Basically, it's
aries questioner at the veriend.
Speaker 4: And you see the little dots pop up as it's typing,
and they stop and they pop up and stop, they
pop up.
Speaker 1: It says.
Speaker 4: Four pm is the only time that will work. Yesterday
was a fluke, And you look at the capitalization and
it's like backwards it's S and then E and Y
are capitalized. So you're like, wait a second, and you
put it together that says, yes.
Speaker 2: I can figure that out.
Speaker 16: Come on easy.
Speaker 12: Did somebody give that orchipad in the head?
Speaker 1: That's all I forbought.
Speaker 4: It was a little love, never appreciated by efforts.
Speaker 2: He's the man who saved our lives.
Speaker 4: I just need to tell me they're proud of me.
Speaker 5: And Fordble turn to Sarah and be like, he says
that that there is is there. That's where we're going. So, yeah,
we take somebody alive we can.
Speaker 12: Is that something you're good at? I feel like it's
only justice that you extract the information.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll help.
Speaker 3: I would like to at least knock some of them
up because I that I got shot with a bunch
of bullets.
Speaker 2: You guys, are you guys going, yeah, we're driving right now?
Speaker 1: Hell yeah? Yeah yeah.
Speaker 4: Well I don't know if you guys are changing your minds.
So you guys get close to the Alabaster Maiden, you're
able to park your garbage truck, your motorcycle, disembark, and
your head towards the side entrance. I'm assuming.
Speaker 3: Are there any other entrances?
Speaker 4: Well, I mean there's the main entrance but can.
Speaker 1: We scope the place out from afar before we go in?
Speaker 4: H Yeah, I don't know. There's not like, what do
you guys got that you're gonna scope stuff out?
Speaker 3: I've got those tiny opera.
Speaker 8: Can you do?
Speaker 1: Can't you? Can't you do your ethereal walk thing.
Speaker 5: Yes, I.
Speaker 3: Could also summon a spirit and have it go jack,
which I would rather do. I mean, the fucking ghouls didn't, so.
Speaker 7: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Hey, you're the magic.
Speaker 12: They could have a mage among them, right.
Speaker 3: So I mean I can do either. I would like
to say I'm in the spirit at some point just
as an extra body to help us. But I can
go after really project and see if I can find it.
Just make sure you don't move my fucking body.
Speaker 1: Okay, Hey, whatever you fail is best. I trust your
magic hobo judgment at this point.
Speaker 3: Okay, I will go.
Speaker 2: Astro all right.
Speaker 4: So you lean back and you you you get a
little bit more comfortable in the pile of trash that
you're in, and you really.
Speaker 3: Literally just lay down in trash like that.
Speaker 2: This my normal way.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you release your yourself out of your body, You
take to the air, you soar with the greatest of ease,
and you pass through the area and you head towards
that side entrance. Just scope it out, and you see
an astral form there, And do you want to try
to assense this guy or you want to go in
pass him? What do you want to do? Where are
we going?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's I see an ast real form. Does that
mean he's like dual natured or he's just a regular person.
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, astral forms not the right uh for you
see an aura?
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, let's try to a sence.
Speaker 1: Yeah, go for it.
Speaker 2: Oh hey, I have some points in that skill.
Speaker 4: Cool.
Speaker 2: One success nice.
Speaker 4: So one success on the assensing table says that you're
able to tell the general state of the subject's health healthy, general,
emotional or impression nervous, and the subject is mundane, not awakened.
Speaker 3: So it's probably the same bouncer we've seen every time. Okay,
all right, yeah, and then I'll go inside.
Speaker 4: Okay, so you phase through the wall, you move around
in there, you follow the regular path that you've taken
a million times. You see, once you get into the
area that you would recognize as the kitchen, there's a
couple of a couple of horors in there, and you
move through and you get to that door, you know,
the one, the one that leads to the office that
you always meet mister Johnson at. You're gonna poke your
face in there?
Speaker 3: Can I like go up and over so I can
see in the areas around it?
Speaker 7: First?
Speaker 10: Sure?
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, you scout around the area surrounding it, and
everything else is as you would expect. You see, you know,
one one form you follow it and it's a you know,
a dude taking a leak in a bathroom that's on
the other side of the wall, and he's, uh, you know,
you get the feeling of like as you watch the
aura go from like frantic to relieved, you're like, oh,
that guy's taking a week and like he really had
to go but okay, yeah that was a buzzer beater,
but you know, and then he goes back to the
kitchen and you notice water by the way shows up
very clearly on the astral Uh he did not wash
his hands. But he goes back to the kitchen and uh, yeah, gross,
guys aren't eating there again. Yeuh but.
Speaker 3: That's a night club, fellows, yep.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's mostly mostly what they're doing is they're making
stuff to put in the bloody Mary's. It's all bacon
and little tiny burgers.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but then I will just dip my head in
from the ceiling like to look down.
Speaker 4: Okay, So make a sneaking roll or stealth roll. Sneaky sneaking,
damn man, sneak.
Speaker 3: I don't think I have that.
Speaker 5: Let's see that a physical skill.
Speaker 3: Probably not, I know what it's.
Speaker 1: Not other works.
Speaker 4: Make a luck roll straight up, roll your edge, just edge,
Let's see how that goes.
Speaker 3: Okay, plus one fit this wounds.
Speaker 2: I don't have these sustained spells.
Speaker 7: Goddamn it.
Speaker 4: One success all right, making a sense of role.
Speaker 3: Okay, two successes.
Speaker 4: Nice, So that gives you a little bit more information
that you got on the last one. Let me pop
this up here eventually, where'd you go? Okay, So for
two successes, So general state of the subject's health. You've
got one person that's injured. Inside, You've got four people
that are healthy. One of them is scared. That's the
injured guy. The rest of them are I would I
would put them at angry, out of any emotion, unless
gassy counts, but probably angry. All mundane be able to
find the presence and location of cyberware implants. The guy
that's injured and is scared has something on his head
and the arm is missing. One of the arms is missing.
The other guys also have Basically the way the way
this shows up is that the the aura is kind
of vaguely humanoid shaped and there's like holes in the
aura where there's cyberware. So instead of being whatever color
it would normally be, it's just empty. So, uh, the
other guy's empty things in the head. All around the body,
there's just like tracery of emptiness, like lines of emptiness. Uh,
and you know some spots where there's like big blobs
of emptiness like so you can tell that these these
other these four other of the guys are chromed up, right, Uh,
nobody magically active. Okay, See you haven't seen the auras
before because you haven't projected or perceived any of these
guys in the past.
Speaker 3: Okay, So for super cybered up guys and one very scared,
injured minor ly cybered up guy. Right, cool, cool, Okay,
all right, Uh, I just I guess I'll go back
to my body.
Speaker 4: Your hands tucked into your pants.
Speaker 2: What did I do that?
Speaker 9: I don't know.
Speaker 4: You'll never know and do that.
Speaker 2: Why are my hands in my okay.
Speaker 1: Because you're a fucking free now what you see?
Speaker 2: But no, I didn't do this.
Speaker 10: One of you did it.
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm pretty sure you were. Yeah great, uh yeah.
Speaker 2: The Johnson's in there, he's a little hurt, scared.
Speaker 3: He's surrounded by four pretty cybered up guys who are angry.
Speaker 2: So I didn't see anything else out of the out
of the ordering.
Speaker 3: So if we just want to kind of like bust
the door down and throw and flash grenades and ship
and just kill those four guys, maybe.
Speaker 7: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure it'll be that simple.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we can hope.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 1: By the way, is this a bad time to tell
you I don't have any flash grenades left? Yes, the
worst and one of these, and I'll hold up the
last remaining flash pack.
Speaker 5: What is that?
Speaker 1: This was the Strobe light party when we were with
the ghouls, Remember it didn't do anything?
Speaker 10: Okay?
Speaker 3: Yeah, they were blind, so right, this should work on them.
Speaker 5: I hope.
Speaker 1: And then I'll start counting the grenades on my bandolier,
which you notice there are something empty.
Speaker 5: You said that what you said that they had cyberware
in their heads, probably like the ones at the at
the house. They have the dinner pack like kind of
like your sunglasses.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, well the dinner pack doesn't do much against this.
And I'll hold up the remaining uh h grenade.
Speaker 2: Right, but our Johnson's still in there, right.
Speaker 1: I know, I'm not saying we aast Johnson. No, I'm
just saying, got one of these, and I got tuities
and tities. I gotta point to two gas grenades and
two smoke grenades.
Speaker 4: You just pull these out of your pockets, imploding them
out on the table.
Speaker 1: Some point.
Speaker 2: What do those gas grenades do?
Speaker 6: Uh?
Speaker 1: Well, you see, instead of exploding, the gas grenade releases
a cloud of gas over an area with a radius
of ten meters. This is usually I'm just this is
usually ran control slash c S gas, but many other
chemicals or toxic payloads can be chosen. It's such as toxins, drugs,
and btls. I want to belt. The cloud lasts for
approximately four h four whatever four times six is twenty
four seconds. Uh yeah, that's how long a turn is,
right whatever, less and windy areas, so the twelve seconds okay, cool.
Speaker 12: Just remember we need to get one alive.
Speaker 1: Would be great.
Speaker 15: Yeah, as I pull out explosive arrows and four mono
filament sword.
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe you should stick to the swords. I am
not getting in close. Comment well, row your birth the
whole place down.
Speaker 12: I mean, would that be such a bad thing here if.
Speaker 1: We're inside of it.
Speaker 5: Yes, it's a very cool nightclub.
Speaker 3: You're better with the swords.
Speaker 1: I am heavily injured.
Speaker 12: I think I would. My plan was to stand behind knuckles,
Let's be honest. Not so I'm just gonna stand.
Speaker 1: I don't blame you. I Oh, yeah, the vault. You
can do the invisibility thing.
Speaker 2: You want me? Yeah, I can make him invisible for sure.
Speaker 1: That's how we get the drop on him.
Speaker 3: Well, there's yours. You know, there's that door we have
to knock on, break down, or go through at some
point to talk to him.
Speaker 2: He's in that room. He's in the same room he's
always in.
Speaker 1: Well, maybe we talked to the bouncer.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the bouncer's outside.
Speaker 2: I think he's super nervous too, so, but I.
Speaker 1: Think can we Is there any way we can get
to a position where we can see down the alley
and see that side entrance and see if the bouncer
is indeed standing there.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you guys sneak up to the corner of the
building and you peek your head around real quick.
Speaker 1: And he's there. When we were here before, are there
any cameras see him? But are there any cameras out
here by the entrance?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's a gearedy gamer.
Speaker 12: I have been watching this whole time, just like.
Speaker 5: Born's gonna roll the dice on this one, and he's
just gonna he's gonna like kind of approach, Like he's
at the corner and he's left, Hey, bounce your friend.
Speaker 4: You see him quickly like pull his pinky out of
his nose and like wiping on the side of his jeans.
He's like, oh, hey, how's it going.
Speaker 5: Step over here. We don't want to be on camera.
Speaker 4: You step over here. You gotta come underneath. I can't.
I can't leave the door. It's my job.
Speaker 5: Listen, you will understand what's happening in the right.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 4: I just I know the boss is in a meeting.
He's been in a meeting for.
Speaker 2: A while, six hours.
Speaker 4: It's been a long one, longest meeting I've ever ever experienced.
Speaker 12: Your job is to protect the boss, right, I mean, yeah, it's.
Speaker 5: He'll come in for help. He called us.
Speaker 4: I can't I can't really hear you very well. It
sounds like you said, just come over here, send underneath
the camera. I can't see it.
Speaker 2: Can I see him?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm gonna you guys are all you guys are
snacked up in a cartoon, all like around with your
heads of different heights around the corner.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I.
Speaker 3: Get the fuck over here.
Speaker 4: Uh yeah, it works. He's like, yeah, fine, okay, I'm
not too worried about it. So uh he he walks
over and he's like, What's what's going on? How did
I get here? I thought it was at the door.
Speaker 12: Oh well, details.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Ford will show him the phone, the phone with like
all the messages and point out the capitalization with David nonsense,
and he'll kind of explain the rundown of what he
understands what's happening inside two days.
Speaker 4: It's like, I don't know, man, he told me to
watch the door. He's in a meeting. I'm not supposed
to anybody else in but and you think he's in
trouble in.
Speaker 1: There, Yeah, I do.
Speaker 12: Got over without shut over down.
Speaker 5: I don't know what to do.
Speaker 7: Man.
Speaker 4: Last time, West time I went in there when he
was having a meeting, I got He yelled at me,
really bad.
Speaker 12: Is that door probably.
Speaker 4: It's a door locked? Yeah, of course the door's locked.
Speaker 1: From the inside.
Speaker 4: Uh, I guess the inside and the outside both.
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I got the key and you open it. Okay, I
can't go deal with that.
Speaker 4: Look, here's the deal, guys.
Speaker 1: I can't.
Speaker 4: If you if one of you guys has to hit
me and just take the key, okay.
Speaker 5: Take up. I can't.
Speaker 1: No, no, we're not murdering the guy.
Speaker 4: By the way, keep the key, he takes. He takes
the hammer from you, and guy, he peels a little
sticker off the bottom of the hammer and he's like, yeah,
let me get rid of that for you. You don't
really need that anymore. And he flicks it and uh,
you see the sticker and it's an R F I
D tag And uh He's like, but yeah, just you know,
one of you guys just like hit me. Don't tell
me when you're gonna do it, though, like, because if
I'm ready for it.
Speaker 2: And he goes down, damn, I've got a strength of two.
Speaker 10: By the ways, I actually heard him.
Speaker 4: He wasn't ready for it.
Speaker 15: Okay, I'm not sure if any of you caught that,
but there was apparently a tracking device on your claw hammer.
Speaker 7: Did you know that?
Speaker 2: What's a tracking device?
Speaker 1: I just thought what a sticker for when you know
you bought.
Speaker 2: It, right, That's what I thought.
Speaker 12: Yeah, but I mean, I know he said it was
an f R. He said it was a tracking device.
Speaker 17: I don't know what were Okay, all right, radio, It's
something we used to use on the Force, and it
is definitely a tracking device.
Speaker 12: And that's forget it.
Speaker 1: I throw it on the ground and smash it.
Speaker 4: It's alright on the ground, but like it's like a sticker.
You stomp on it and it sticks to your boot.
Oh shit, peel it off.
Speaker 1: It's like into a little bundle and I throw it, you.
Speaker 4: Flick it, you flick it, and like it takes a
couple of tries to get it off your finger because
it's sticky, and then you eventually get it. But yeah,
it works out. It's like those stickers that go on
the inside cover of books that are like you know
what I'm talking about, where you feel it's got like
the wiery stuff on the inside of it. It's like that,
but it's tiny, tiny, tiny, It's like the like the
fruit sticker. By the way, I don't know if you
guys know this or not, but those fruit stickers have
to be made out of edible materials in case, because
the American people are stupid and they'll eat them peop believe,
so they have to be edible.
Speaker 1: Surprising, I think they should not make him edible, and
then we would sort out a whole lot of problems
in this country.
Speaker 4: I'm just saying, you would sort out a whole lot
of lawsuits. My friend.
Speaker 1: Hey, you can't sue if you're dead.
Speaker 4: Your not in Chris's America, that's for sure.
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, so uh he puts away his trusty claw hammer.
Speaker 5: With the key.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm gonna sendon a spirit and then okay, make
mantis invisible and uh you just take out your swords
and kill force everyword guys by yourself, right.
Speaker 4: I did not agree, No.
Speaker 5: I actually if I can propose a claim, oh yeah, definitely,
I'm gonna do it in my regular voice. Because again
time but Ford, We'll say, make Uthrock invisible, have him
knock on the door, and then when they open it
and no one's in the hallway. He opened fire on
them with the chalka.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, just blastom point blank. Oh you're talking my language.
Speaker 12: Johnson has a hostage. We gotta be quick.
Speaker 1: I'll push my way in my party and then knock.
Speaker 5: On the door.
Speaker 3: And they just fucking filled the door full of lead.
Speaker 5: Right slightly to the left of the door.
Speaker 15: Yeah, okay, whatever they're gonna see the bodyguard, isn't there.
Speaker 1: Or anything you saw when you were projecting any what
like ben shafts or anything.
Speaker 3: Like metal doesn't really show up as a separate visual.
Speaker 1: Oh that's kind of worthless.
Speaker 10: All right.
Speaker 3: Well, it's really just for seeing people.
Speaker 2: Okay. I'm doing the best I can world built me.
Speaker 1: Okay, I don't know how your magic vision works. Okay,
all right, Uh do you have anything any any spell?
Speaker 9: Oh?
Speaker 1: I'll ask Sarah too either, if you have any spell
you can cast on this guy that that would like
protect him. I'm Johnson while we get the party going.
Speaker 4: Nope, let me double check, she says.
Speaker 2: I was thinking about purchasing one of the shield spells,
but I just did.
Speaker 1: Not, and that's mistakes were made.
Speaker 2: Although I do have twelve karmas, so I could purchase it.
Speaker 4: At some point, she says, I can create a mana barrier.
Speaker 1: I don't.
Speaker 4: I don't know if that's going to be effective in
this situation.
Speaker 1: What do you got anything we can take out these
guards or help take these guards out?
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, if I get into range, I can pop
them with with this and like her hand, the kind
of glowy glow that it did before she tried to
hurt you and knocked herself unconscious.
Speaker 1: Adam refreshed my memory. His office was it like a
big desk that he was sitting behind, and then we
were in chairs, like in front of a desk.
Speaker 4: Yes, okay, uh, I mean.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Oh, we get him under the desk and then
take out the guards.
Speaker 5: I think. I think we just have to move in quick.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like going quick, you throw your flashback, I mean
that might fuck us more than a fox to them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think the flashback's gonna work here.
Speaker 12: So so look, look, let's go in quick.
Speaker 15: Let's get somebody invisible, so maybe we can get in
and get behind them, just in case they try to
use that guy as you know, a meat shield.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I can, I can throw myself between
him and them.
Speaker 5: Problem and Adam real quick. Do they have like one
of those like you know, old like the rope like
the guiding ropes that you had control crowds.
Speaker 4: With outside of clubs stanchions. Yes, it's the velvet rope.
Speaker 5: Ye.
Speaker 4: Not it's it's not currently deployed outside because the club's
not open for another three hours.
Speaker 5: Well dank you.
Speaker 4: But you can see if you look that they are
just inside like there's like a little like entry like foyer.
They're in there ready to get deployed, but they're not
deployed yet.
Speaker 5: Okay, when we go in, I'm gonna crat to use
as a club because I don't have my tire iron
because it burned to death.
Speaker 2: He's gonna pull out his trusty claw hammer.
Speaker 4: I don't think the tire iron burned.
Speaker 5: It's probably okay, fair, but I don't have it.
Speaker 4: Put us out there. Car fuel can't melt steel tire irons.
Speaker 10: Wow, that's a dated meme, But I like it.
Speaker 5: Should put jet fuel into the car, which is.
Speaker 1: Keep from last week. See all right, what do you
think Adam is a good place to call for tonight?
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's gotta be. It's I gotta, I gotta, I
gotta sleep woof gros.
Speaker 7: You can sleep when you're dead.
Speaker 4: I am almost there. It's been a long, long, weird day.
My daughter also on top of not sleeping at all,
basically for the past I don't know. It seems like
forever she she's able to climb out of her little
uh like pack and play thing. Now that I was like,
I gotta take the dogs out. We're gonna put you
in the pack and play. Put on some cartoons, and
I put her in there, and then I take the
dogs out and I come back, and then she's in
the in the fucking living room. I'm like, how did
you get out of there? I put her back in
and I say, how'd you get out of there? And
then she just climbs out of it, stands on the
other side and goes.
