Speaker 1: You are listening to table story.
Speaker 2: Deathless is an improvised cinematic narrative with live production, including
music and dialog. There is no script. This story contains violence,
disturbing imagery, adult themes, and a darkness which may lead
you doubting for more perceived at your own risk.
Speaker 3: A logen of fight from Shade ho loget of fact
from me.
Speaker 4: That you say, stand up for the thing you can't
stand a louse.
Speaker 5: I have.
Speaker 6: So many things, things over tied, each a feeble grag
that naming what cannot truly be defied. Five five, But
there are names that LINGA girl, girl that sinking deeper deeper.
Speaker 7: Obsess.
Speaker 6: They taste of something, something that fails. I've always liked
those best.
Speaker 8: Don't you don't you?
Speaker 1: Hm?
Speaker 2: We begin in combat. Fenn has been knocked unconscious, crashed
into the side of a vehicle. Stalker remains partially veiled,
scouting out the enemy, calling out their position. Gunner stands
sort of at the front, ahead of Cora, an Esteban.
Cora has just spoken to Ishna and called on him
for aid. Constantine has been blown back by a spell
and is otherwise out of sight. Who wants to go first?
We have a turn order we can rely on or yeah,
or I can go first. Do you want to go first?
Speaker 9: Well, considering that I Gotsha's attention, I should probably go first.
So at this point I have sipped a little bit
from the first shadow creature and gotten the smell of
rotten eggs. My throat burns, the power hurts, but it
felt good. I still see that as potentially dangerous, so
I don't want to take any more into myself. I
would rather turn to Isshna in this case see what
he can put do.
Speaker 2: Ah, I'm so happy. So you rolled in eleven last
week to do this, and so then we cut so
you don't need to roll again because you've already done it.
You got doubles. It's an incredible success. And what is
happening here is you're actually going to unlock an ability
permanently that you can do. It's calling on his power,
but you can do it. So we'll add that to
your sheet in a second. But essentially, I think I
kind of want to know maybe what this feels like
for you. I think, oh God, okay, I think it's
like you might feel the insides of you might feel
your blood begin to boil. But for some reason, you're
not in pain, but you're still feeling the sensation of
like I am burning up, I am on fire. And
then I think when you go to speak, I don't
think he's he's not interested in possessing you, so your
actions are still your own. But he's basically going to
allow you to have his power at your disposal should
you choose to use it here. But he is going
to do an ability here in this opening move if
you would like, but it is now yours and essentially
he he says, and you step forward again. I'm not
he's not interested in puppeteering you or possessing you, but
I think you'd feel compelled to do this in a
way that's like, oh, this is how the spell goes,
and I know that this is what I'm supposed to
do if I'm casting the spell. It's almost like he's like,
this is so fucked up, because I know Mark is
gonna be like, oh my god, so romantic. But it's
like he is showing you, like how to shoot or
something like that. He's showing you how to do this spell.
I knew it. I knew it. He's showing you how
to do this spell. So that you can do it
again in the future. So you step forward as he's
saying this, uh.
Speaker 6: The fabric, tear your tether free with each word re
speech speak your master's grips falters and the weight of.
Speaker 5: Torture, torture.
Speaker 8: In perem.
Speaker 2: And the main skeleton right up front turns to fucking ash.
You now have the ability is going to take a
lot out of you if you do this without Ishna,
it's going to give you some burn. But you do
have the ability to return infernal undead back to where
they come from with that fucking eleven dude, fucking insane.
But it will, Yeah, it will. It will take a
lot out of you. Yes, you basically what you did
was you detach the tether and you know this, you
know magic also, you know by the way that he
casts this and what he was saying, you know, casting back,
you're breaking the magical tether that was imbuing this creature
with life. So this creature itself isn't from some nether
region of Hell or something like that. It's being imbued
with someone's magic nearby, like someone is you know, kind
of puppeteering or giving it life with their own magic.
But it is an infernal it is a demonic life.
So that is a clue for you. But yeah, but
I think as as soon as he's done with that,
I think you will feel a phantom of the toll
it will take on you should you choose to do
it on your own without him. So in PBu terms,
that means you'll take to burn every time you use
this and it succeeds, and that I need to be
very clear. If it succeeds, you take the burn. I
know we don't know what that means yet, but there
are five levels of burn, and basically, if you get
all the way to the top, you're like gonna die.
So two is significant, but you basically get to If
you succeed, you get rid of the thing that is
plaguing you. But so that you understand there are only
five levels of burn, you won't be able to do
this to all of these guys here without really hurting yourself. Okay, yeah,
all right, cool, So you don't take any burn here
because he shouldn't did this with your eleven. But you
now have unlocked this skill and you can call it
whatever you like.
Speaker 9: It's just about to ask as.
Speaker 2: It does ash to ash. So if you want, you
can call it that, but you can call it whatever
you want as well. Yeah, it's pretty fucking cool. Okay,
So that is the opening fucking move. What do we
see though, other than you stepping forward? Does your skin change?
Do you have any other visual cue of when you're
using like ishna as a power.
Speaker 9: Question for you? Does have a color?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 9: Tie to him?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 9: What is it?
Speaker 2: Red? Like a red or orange? Like an ember?
Speaker 9: Okay? Then yeah, I think that after he responds and
and says that, and I feel the being compelled to
step forward and knowing what I should do, Yeah, I
think that it'll look like my skin brightens, but then
you realize it is my veins that are lighting up,
giving off a bit of a glow. Okay, And I
also imagine, uh, my iris is getting like a like
a flaming ring around the outside, and maybe like the
veins next to my eyes like also lighting up with
like a reddish glow. And after after the spell or
whatever the ability happens, it's retreats, and maybe with it
a little bit of my color drains whatever little color
of whatever little like flush of life that my skin
has it, some of it drains away with the power
of recedings.
Speaker 5: Of what you were unravel.
Speaker 6: Soon there will be nothing left to recognize. Our marrow
shut twist together.
Speaker 2: Who's next?
Speaker 10: I call a therapist.
Speaker 2: Sorry, I'm unconscious. Yeah, Gunner, you up?
Speaker 11: So I would be able to see this monster now
like combust.
Speaker 2: Yes, So once she does that, with with Ishna's help,
you will see kind of like the very briefly, the
skeletal form it has, it has curling downward rams horns,
and for just a moment you see it in this
plane before it ignites in flame and crumbles into ash,
and then the ash blows away. But the others you
don't see yet, but you do see where that one was,
which was dead in the center. And then don't forget,
Stalker is calling out, like where they are?
Speaker 8: So you do kind of calling them out.
Speaker 2: You do have an idea where they were?
Speaker 11: Does anyone see them?
Speaker 12: Yes, they are there, and where.
Speaker 5: In the street?
Speaker 7: Honest gone?
Speaker 8: Why do we spend our time fighting the shadows?
Speaker 11: And I think having Gunner seen Fen get hit and
then Constantine get destroyed, I think this would sort of
awaken something in him, kind of akin to when he's
been in battle and seeing one of his his friends
or or you know, teammates go down and get hurt.
It would kind of like spark some rage in him,
like he's about to you know, he would lift a
building to try to you know, to fight back in
a way, or to get the upper hand, or to
you know, inflict the same amount of pain or damage
that that he saw that his friends experienced.
Speaker 2: I think you just used a keyword for PBu. Can
you roll for me either either body or dyne aka ether,
which is the one all the way in the end,
either one your choice, and then the difficulty is going
to be thirty three because I'm insane.
Speaker 8: So what is dyninge exactly?
Speaker 2: So that's your magic stat It's dying or ether depending
on which world you're in. But for now on the
character sheet, because I stole it from King Makers and
hacked it, it's dye. It'll be listed all the way
on the right inside st You'll just want to hit
that button and then the difficulty will pop up and
you want to put thirty three in.
Speaker 11: So I'm gonna roll Dine because I feel like it's
like he's having a physical reaction, but this this power
in him as actually being awakened. Maybe without knowing like
what would be a physical reaction when he was immortal,
you know, is now being you know, sort of reflected
in his in his magic saw'm rolling dying thirty three.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, that's the seventy three. Technically a failure. This
was for something else, So you go ahead and describe
what you're doing. But I just wanted to see if
something extra happen.
Speaker 11: Sure, So yeah, So like he saw, you know, his
friends get hurt. And during that time, I guess when
Korra was was turning one to ash. He's sort of
just kind of powering up and I can actually attack.
I would still like.
Speaker 2: To it, absolutely, absolutely may.
Speaker 11: So from my memory, I was like next to.
Speaker 8: Fenn by the car, kind of you.
Speaker 2: I'm so sorry. I just put you where I thought
you were. But if you want to move your token,
absolutely you may do that. I'm just gonna move over here,
so chat and see.
Speaker 11: So when Fenn got knocked to the car, I kind
of jumped over to shield him, and I think I'll
turn around again, having been facing down the street where
the beasts.
Speaker 4: Are, and I'll look at Finn knocked out on the ground,
and I'll stand over him and I'll place my hands
on the top of the car, and I start to
dig my fingers into the roof and they start to
pierce until I have a firm grasp the roof of
the car, and I want to lift just as easy
as I could lift a rock to bash someone's brains in.
Speaker 2: Okay, Oh okay, yes, you may do that. Now you're
gonna go ahead and roll. Your body difficulty will be
the base difficulty, which is fifty. So you kind of
got to like a fifty to fifty shot right now
doing this sort of Oh okay, you succeed. So you
you are lifting this car up, and you are I'm sorry, okay,
So we just see, is it like, is it like
how effortless does this look?
Speaker 11: I would okay, I'll subtract that war right, maybe you
know it's not It would not be It would be effortless.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay.
Speaker 11: But he's screaming like bloody murder and growling, and he
has this car above his head and he pivots, and
I just want to throw it as hard as I
can down the street towards okay, where Stalker.
Speaker 2: Pointed me, Yeah, okay, and where you saw the like
ash go down yep, okay, so.
Speaker 8: Literally aiming for anything, I'm just chucking it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you just like pick up if you don't mind.
You just pick up this car with like one arm essentially,
and you're just like you pick it up, and then
you use the other arm just to kind of like
guide it like a fucking football, and you throw this
car across the street all the way down and it
crashes down in front. I don't know if it looks
like anything is hit from your vision, but you do
hear a sound of like a hiss and a fire
and a crackling sound as it hits crashes down onto
the street. Who is next?
Speaker 7: I just want to say. Stocker is sort of pointing
them out, and then right next to his head an
entire vehicle flies past, and he looks back no expression.
Speaker 12: Ah, who's next?
Speaker 7: I think trench wants to go next?
Speaker 12: Sure, who's trying.
Speaker 7: Trench mouth. He's in this.
Speaker 5: My immersion.
Speaker 12: Come on, that's uh, that's how you say I stay
in English. It's it's the different translation. So previously I
had been yeeded across the street too because I got
hit by Ever what that blast if something was, So
I'm on the ground, I think I kind of look
up when I see this car go flying in question,
huh when this when.
Speaker 2: The sorry, I'm so excited to move the car.
Speaker 12: Oh wow, they they're still there, those guys.
Speaker 2: I mean you can't see them.
Speaker 12: Okay, fair, Yeah, the when the Ishna thing happened, did
it could we feel anything, like did anything that would
we have felt anything weird that Ishna like just juiced
her up.
Speaker 2: I have very good questions. If you cane it is dine,
it is difficulty. We're going to say the difficulty is forty.
Speaker 13: Can I roll also of I not IF's power heals
me from the power of of hotness.
Speaker 2: It does not heal you from the power to thirty one?
She rolled a thirty one. Okay, so that is a success.
So that means I think, I'm not sure if you
you know, I don't think you know, it's like Ishna
per se, but I felt something weird. You felt some power.
She basically went super Saiyan a little bit.
Speaker 12: Yeah.
Speaker 2: You could see her veins, like if you looked up,
you know, her veins were glowing like I think there
was probably also a little bit of her hair lifting up,
as if like gravity didn't apply to her. For a
moment while she was casting the spell. Really, I think,
truly it looks like she cast a spell. She took
a step forward, she did a gesture with her hands,
and she spoke in Latin. And then when I'm seeing
things just fucking disappeared in front of your eyes.
Speaker 12: So I'm on the ground, like up against the planter
or whatever that is over there, and I've been knocked
across and then yeah, I think when that feeling of
her powering up happens, yeah, I kind of my head
snaps her and uh, I'm just kind of staring at her.
And even after it's done, I don't notice the thing
even even turned to ash and I'm staring at her
until I hear ah. And then just to see this
car get lifted up and I see him throw it
down the street.
Speaker 8: Uh.
Speaker 12: And then to be more annoying, even though if I
got pushed back, I had shadows that were around them
that were parting, so you could sort of see where
they are or is that still there?
Speaker 2: No, I think when you got yeah, when you got
knocked back, you lost that a little bit, so you'd
have to redo something.
Speaker 12: I think there, Okay, I'm I want to get up
and physically charge them. Okay, all right, charge that area.
Speaker 2: Okay, go ahead, I'm going.
Speaker 12: With the intent to attack, like like I'm going to
physically attack one of them. Okay.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, okay, roll roll your your body.
Speaker 12: What's difficulty?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, okay, you can't see them, but.
Speaker 12: I saw where they were. They were.
Speaker 2: You've got the car to sort of kind of like
guide you.
Speaker 14: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say this is still pretty difficult, though. What's
your sense of smell?
Speaker 12: Like average?
Speaker 2: Okay, then yeah, it's pretty difficult. I think we'll say
thirty or forty, your choice.
Speaker 11: I mean.
Speaker 12: The vampire average, right, I'm going to do thirty five yeah,
vampire average.
Speaker 2: Yeah, vampire average.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 12: Okay, just hold on, I got to move this. I
can't see the role when it happens one second, all right?
Is a failure?
Speaker 2: Failure? Okay? So again I don't always like failure, meaning
you don't succeed at the thing that you're doing. But
what do you think happens here?
Speaker 12: I stand up mm hmm, and I see where the
area is, and I think I reach into my pocket
and I pull out the little kitchen knife that I
still have, and I just like dash up the street
to where the car is and where I think one
of them is, and I think what happens is I
my intent was I want to grab onto one and
like stick it in between bones and try to pry
it whatever part apart. Yeah, but I think when I
get up there, I jump and I like just clip
the side of like I feel like I hit the
arm in hand or something. Yeah, so I'm probably I'm
probably just wide open right there. Okay.
Speaker 2: I like that. I like that you hit one, so
you're wide open right now.
Speaker 12: Your next attack.
Speaker 2: Your next attack will have a shift. Assuming he doesn't move.
Speaker 12: This is one I like, I kind of jump but
I miss, but I feel it's hand. Yeah, yep, Okay.
Speaker 2: I love that.
Speaker 7: The moment I see him moving, I would finally react.
This is what I've been waiting for. Distracted with someone
in front of them, I'm going to try something something
that I've attempted but never gotten quite right. I'm going to.
Speaker 12: Sort of.
Speaker 7: Disappear in this place and reappear behind them. It is
a combination of what I think is celerity and obfuscation.
I've not I've had mixed success on this in the past,
but it's never worked quite right, but I'm I need
to get there immediately.
Speaker 2: Is that general or here you mean when you said
you haven't had success with this in.
Speaker 7: The past in general?
Speaker 12: Okay? Okay, have that mixed success?
Speaker 8: Yep?
Speaker 2: All right. So they are distracted by a car and
a person. So I'm gonna say that any because normally
you would have advantage shadow stepping essentially through into this space.
But they are in that space in which you would
normally shadow step into. So last time we established when
you're in this space, they see you, you see them. However,
they are distracted, so any advantage that you know you
had that was then counteracted by them being in the
same space as you, is now gone. So it is
a flat role as you try to, you know, shadow
step essentially into this behind the car. Is that what
you want to do?
Speaker 7: I am going behind. I would like to go behind
their their back ranks, so behind that's the one in
front of Esteban.
Speaker 2: Okay, cool, perfect, all right, So go ahead and roll
for me. This is going You can choose to roll
body or you can choose to roll dyne. Keep in mind,
if you succeed, you're going to increase one of those stats.
Speaker 7: This is certainly ether hie body yep. So the difficulty
is fifty.
Speaker 2: I think the difficulty is forty. I think normally it
would be thirty, but they're distracted by the car in Esteban,
So I think you can have the forty.
Speaker 7: Yeah sact success.
Speaker 2: That's awesome, Okay, So what does this look like?
Speaker 12: It looks like I sort of.
Speaker 7: Reach into It looks like I'm reaching in to another
plane of existence. I move through where I reach in
with my right arm, and my right arm disappears as
it goes inside, and then my body follows, and behind
is left a purple and shadowy puff of smoke and
a line of right purple between it sort of blinks
in and out of existence, and then the same line
blinks back into existence. Behind the enemy, I step through
a dagger coming out of its sheath, and I strike
a blink strike if you will.
Speaker 2: Okay, So I think we will do the strike on
the next turn because the moving the distance was this stern.
But narratively that's fucking sick as hell. So I know
exactly which one you're going to attack, and just so
that I know it's the one that Estebon didn't run into,
but it's the one right behind him by the car,
right the back line guy.
Speaker 7: Yeah, can I can move?
Speaker 2: Yep? Move your dog and yet go for you? Yep,
hell yeah, there you are. Okay. Is there anybody that
needs to go that's still up? No, you've all gone. Okay, wonderful.
Who wants to go first with the down folks? Constantine
or Fenn? I think it should be Fenn. I'm so sorry, Fenn.
Go ahead and roll. You're gonna roll, body or dine
pick one, doesn't matter what difficulty fifty I think defaults
fine shot, Okay, you can get up, but you're gonna
take a health point, or you can wait and try
again next round.
Speaker 14: I'm gonna wait and try again next round. I think
I'm I'm still dazed. I don't know what's going on.
All I know is I sensed five creatures, yes, and
then I was nothing, So I'm going to It's just
ringing and chaos and cars being thrown. I think I
can't even comprehend a car being thrown right now, that's
how Yeah?
Speaker 2: I am okay, all right, Constantine, you're up?
Speaker 10: Uh, I'm unconscious?
Speaker 11: Right?
Speaker 10: So do I have to roll to?
Speaker 12: Yep?
Speaker 2: You're going to roll either body or Dine. It doesn't
matter to me which one you roll. But basically, if
you succeed, you're increasing that stat by one point. Every
success in that stat you increase it. So it's your
choice which one you want to Potential success, yes, otherworldly
success will give you. You have a chance of buffing
that stat, So it's your choice which one you want
to use. However, when you use that stat and you succeed,
I asked that you make the success around that, like
it would be a magical ish kind of success rather
than you felt like your body just kind of woke up,
you know, yeah, like that. So, but either one is
applicable here.
Speaker 10: I'm gonna go for Matt.
Speaker 13: I mean, there was like a huge sorry to use
this wording, but like everyone's gotten juiced up right now,
Like there's a huge influx and surge of magic, and
I think that that would I would normally go for
body because I'd be like trying to come back in
a body way. But I think magic is the only
thing that could pull meet up.
Speaker 2: Yep, that makes sense.
Speaker 10: So what is what is the difficulty?
Speaker 2: Fifty? I think is what we said for Fenn as well.
Default is fine fifty to fifty of waking up this round,
and I will offer you the same thing. If you
fail that, you can get up, but you're gonna take
a hit point health.
Speaker 10: Oh wow, oh wow.
Speaker 2: Okay, so you can get up this round, and but
you're gonna take a hit point to do that, You're
gonna damage your health, or you can wait till next time.
Speaker 13: I think I'm gonna wait till next time. I think
I think it makes the most sense.
Speaker 10: I rolled in ninety nine.
Speaker 13: Yeah, you know, like I think it's just gonna take
me a little bit of a hot minute to get up.
Speaker 7: But yeah, okay, perfect keyword being hot.
Speaker 2: Yeah, keyword being hot. Indeed. Okay, So these two got
knocked at knocked by the car. This guy didn't though, Okay,
it is my turn now, or yes, I'm trying to
think if you, if it would go for you, or
if it would be terrified of you. I think it
would be terrified of you, Gunner. You and Fenn both
are in line unfortunately, so I also see that, and
I'm gonna take advantage of that. So both of you
will need to roll to defend right now as I
come in and attack you. Okay, So that's a body
and the difficulty is sixty.
Speaker 5: I succeed.
Speaker 2: Holy shit, yeah you do.
Speaker 5: I know exactly what that looks like.
Speaker 2: Almost under your body statue. Yeah, what does that look like?
Because you're knocked out now, I should have made the
difficulty harder for you. But that's okay, it's done. What's
done is done.
Speaker 14: Uh, I'm still knocked out. My body acts purely on reflex.
It feels danger coming and just gets out of the way.
So if I can move a little bit, it probably
or go towards like this wall garage.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's fucking awesome. All right, gunner, you're up. You'll
just want to do a body roll with the difficulty
of sixty.
Speaker 8: Body roll difficulty sixty.
Speaker 2: Gotcha failure? Okay, you are going to get hit by this.
You're gonna get hit by this wave, although you didn't
get hit by the last one. But you notice significantly
there is less force in this one than previously. Okay,
and that's the only clue I can give you at
this point. But it does hit you. It is also
going to take one light damage from you, which is
if you click on your token the green icon there
or that says that number you can just take that
number down to one. You see what I just did there.
I don't know if you could see that me doing
that or if it didn't actual yeah, yep, oh I
see yep and there, So I just moved it down
for you so you don't have to do it again.
But yep, okay, okay, I went. This guy's gonna go now,
and this guy has no idea that Stalker is behind him,
so he's going for U Steban. So you're gonna roll
to dodge. I think this is going to be forty
because you are trying to hit the guy in front,
and also you can't see him. Forty five Okay, he
is going to hit you. Let me see what he
can do. Okay. You hear the snap of a bone,
and then one of your bones snaps? Which one is it?
The one holding the knife? I would assume helped me
to Oh yeah, okay, yeah, so sorry you're I.
Speaker 12: Was going to say two ribs, but okay, you want
him to ye? Would he be going for my arm?
Speaker 2: I think if he can see that you're holding a weapon,
then yeah he would. Because what he has done essentially
you can't see it. What he has done, is he
is snapping his own bone to break your bone.
Speaker 12: Okay, then it's my arm for sure. Yeah, that's what
he's doing then for sure. Yep.
Speaker 2: So then he snaps his own arm forearm, Yeah, his
forearm falls limp, and then you know he has damaged himself.
But you now drop the knife. I assume you've been hit. Yes, okay,
that is it for men to make powdered sugar float
across the street too? No, but that is actually why
I had that class in the in that one shot.
So the other two have been waylaid by this vehicle.
So a gunner bought you guys to two or around
where they didn't get they got a lost time.
Speaker 12: How much do I take a point of damage or yes?
Speaker 2: Just the one?
Speaker 12: Okay, no question from I was like blown across the
street at the end of the last Is that a
point of dama as well?
Speaker 2: So I already did it.
Speaker 12: I was at ten when I started, and then I
just I just added it myself now to assume.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, okay, yeah you should. You should have already
had one. I'm at eight okay, yep, all right, yep, yes,
there is only ten. By the way, folks, it's very
deadly combat. Okay, who's next, Cora? I believe it is you. Okay.
Speaker 9: I think at this point I would be adjusting to
the new feelings, kind of checking in with my body,
feeling what's happening, maybe like adjusting to the the burn
how whatever. However, although you said I didn't take burn
this time because Ashna, yes.
Speaker 2: For you, yep, so no burn you. And basically what
burn does is like the first burn you have gives
you a negative you know shift when you're rolling, so
it just makes your odds a little bit hard. And
then as that burn increases, that risk goes up and up.
So right now you're good, But it should you choose
to take burn. I think the first two levels are
five and ten, so it gives you five percent and
a ten percent shift on your rolls.
Speaker 9: Okay, all right, cool, okay, Yeah, So I think i'd
be down the street a bit probably while all this
is happening. I think I would drift closer and maybe
take a position behind. I think this is like another
planter or something, just so I can keep tabs on
es Bahn and Stalker. Now we all can't see these
creatures except for Stalker.
Speaker 2: Right, that is correct, well you can now I can, okay,
if you've if you've got your ESHNA activated, so your
eyes are like glowing in this infernal ridiculousness and you
can see exactly where they are. But it's almost like
two planes are overlaid on top of each other for you,
you know, almost like a double exposure, so you can
see the like dust and the darkness and the weird
stuff that's like whipping off of them. And you can
see Stalker when he's obfuscated here in this space like this, okay,
and you can see that he is like it's almost
like everything is maybe going in slow motion for you,
because I imagine all of this is happening at the
same time, and Stalker is wicked fast, so he just
kind of like blinks from one spot to another, and
he's reaching back as he's getting ready to attack with
his blade, so you know that that's about to happen. Okay.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think I would be keeping tabs on what
is all happening, and I would see these two shadow
creatures closer to Esteban and Stalker and maybe anticipating another attack.
I would like to try to use an ability that
I was used to in the other world, which is
a I don't know how what to call it. It's
like the soothinging ability to kind of like maybe in
this case, subdue or make drowsy or slow or yeah, something.
One of the creatures that's close to probably at.
Speaker 2: Yep, okay, we'll say maybe the one that maybe the
one that just attacked him even though his arm fell limp.
So it's the one stalker is about to attack, or
would you like to attack the other one that stalker
isn't going to attack? Yeah, okay, okay, yep, go ahead
and roll for me. I think this is going to
fall under your ether, which is dye, So that's the
one all the way on the end, and your difficulty,
because you've got to shift with Ishna, is going to
be like I don't know, seventy. This is ridiculous, but I.
Speaker 9: Need seventy difficulty.
Speaker 2: Yeah, which means that you need to roll under a
seventy So oh I see it. Yeah, Yeah, it's lower
is better? Okay, oh ninety eight Okay, I have to
think about this for a second. So I think I
think it's impossible to maybe soothe because he you just
like destroyed his leader and you know, like he's terrified
of you, so maybe you can't calm him that way.
I again, I don't like the idea that failures mean
you're not good at what you do, because I think
that all of you are very good at what you do.
But there's a reason why this doesn't work, And I
don't know what that is other than that, do you
have an idea of why this doesn't work quite the
way you wanted to?
Speaker 9: At least maybe it's the it's I've always used that
ability on mortals or maybe in rare occasions other kindred
and the fact that these are like shadow creatures, maybe
just like the type of creature that they are doesn't
really work on them. Or I'm disoriented enough that I
try to use it the way that I'm used to,
but they take a different kind of application or something.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, yeah, why don't. Why don't because I'll give
you this, then you go to try to do it,
and maybe because maybe this is the moment where you
realize it feels a little bit different when you're trying
to do the older you know, the stuff from your
other world that you're trying to do here. It's possible,
but it just is. It's like you're you know, you're
following the recipe in a different way, and so you
go to reach for it and it's not quite where
you left it, and so you're like, oh, that's weird,
but it won't be necessarily too difficult for you to
do so next time. Yeah, okay, okay, all right, that
I believe is not my turn, Gunner, you're up.
Speaker 8: Okay.
Speaker 11: So when I got hit, I felt like a.
Speaker 8: A strong punch to the chest.
Speaker 11: Or maybe the hilt of someone's sword shield knocking me back.
And I think I just get like slid back a
few feet to maybe wind up here, and I, uh
take a breath, and I look to Finn.
Speaker 8: My belief is still coming to.
Speaker 15: And you know, before any battle there has to be
a great speech or someone to ignite something in you.
Speaker 8: You have to get up, you hear you have to stand.
Speaker 11: And fight, Fenn, you hear me get up, And I
think I we'll just bolt towards the uh the scene
at the car. I can not see these creatures, I believe,
but I can see Yesterbahan and what looks to be
trouble and maybe I heard his his knife hit the pavement.
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, I think you can also see it if
you want, you hear it and then you look over
and you notice that he's dropped it.
Speaker 12: Yeah. Uh, since I bumped into one and I don't
I don't know. I didn't feel like I get hit
when my arm broke. I'm looking at the like in
the direction of the thing of the one I bumped into.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yep, okay, yeah, that makes sense to me. Okay, still, it's.
Speaker 8: Still my turn. I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: So no, no, no, you're good. I was thinking I
was wondering if that was it. I think so, I think,
I mean, I think that's the end of the turn
because you used your turn. If I understand correctly, you
have used an ability to give then a shift on
his next role, like to make it easier for him. Yep,
okay cool. Then yep, you did that and then you
moved in. So yes, then you will absolutely have a
bonus when you try to get up. Okay, next up
is that's the fun.
Speaker 12: So, like I said, I did not know what happened
to my arm. I didn't feel anyone hit me, right,
I just felt like my arm just snapped all of
a sudden.
Speaker 2: That's right, Well, you heard a snap and then your
arm snapped.
Speaker 12: Okay, it depends on physically. So I heard it probably
from the one in front of me, but I know
there is one here, know that.
Speaker 2: There there's one, right, the one that you bumped into
was right by the car. And then the snap is
actually coming from the one to your right right. Yes,
so you're like, whoa you know? And now you know
you might have one?
Speaker 12: Plus I see is basically what I see to my
right end. I don't think you see him. He's obviously yep. Okay,
he didn't appear yet, all right, I don't think so.
Speaker 2: I think he appears once he strikes.
Speaker 12: Oh, he appears and then he has obscated and then
he strikes. Okay, cool. Uh, well, this is no time
to quit right now. So I'm going to attack the
one that I think is in front of me still.
Speaker 2: Okay, awesome, go ahead and roll for it?
Speaker 7: Is this?
Speaker 2: How are you doing this? Did you reach down and
pick up the knife with the other hand?
Speaker 12: No, I'm I'm jumping on it like I'm wowing towards it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, so body roll then, uh, and you're jumping
on the one by.
Speaker 12: The car, Yeah, the one that I think he's the
one that I bumped into. Yep, that's perfect difficulty.
Speaker 2: So I think your difficulty is actually fifty to fifty
here because this one's actually been knocked a little funny
by the car, so you you have a better chance
of doing this good this one. Yep, fifty to fifty shot.
Let's go, baby. Yeah, ninety eight you match the same
role as as Acorn.
Speaker 12: I think I too soon react. I hear the snap,
and I'm kind of when I'm moving to attack, I
hear this snap, my arm goes and then I miss
and land on the back of the car.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 12: Just I'm like flopped over on if it's upside down
or there. Yeah, I'd like to offer that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know it's a ninety eight, but like your
vampires still you guys, I think are still succeeding. But
these things are really difficult. So I think you do
lunch on this thing and then it just it's like
it's bones kind of just break and it's stiff. Yeah,
and then it goes who and then it comes right
back up and then.
Speaker 12: Oh go through it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I kind of go through it, and it's like
bones collapse and tumble and then it pops back up again.
Speaker 12: Yep. Okay, I'm still on the car. Either way, I
like fly through it and go in the car.
Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, Fenn, you're up. I want to give it
a go one more time, one more time.
Speaker 12: Okay.
Speaker 2: So last time it was a fifty to fifty shot,
but Gunner has given you a shift, so we're gonna
go seventy now as the difficulty. He's given you a
twenty shift.
Speaker 12: Other worldly success.
Speaker 2: Yes, oh my god. Okay, so now your your body
will actually go up one. So you've permanently increased your
body stat because you rolled another worldly success now, and
other worldly success is like fucking badasses. Hell, so it's
like even though you rolled your body, you have tapped
into some otherworldly magic here to do this. So what
does it look like?
Speaker 8: Uh?
Speaker 14: It looks fairal it looks like I'm getting rebooted, but
with animalistic traits like the hair, my arms like just
stink like sticks up and then it goes through my
whole body and I stand up. My eyes are are
not my normal human eyes there focused there there's still
that green I think from before, but they're more slit.
They're like a slit eye instead of like a round eye.
And his hair my hair gets a little more wild,
and I get up from I'm up almost immediately like
blink and you miss it, and smoldering, just smoke coming off.
As the hair settles down and I'm back on my feet,
I walk up to Gunner. I put my hand on
his shoulder. What was that you said about speeches and inspirations?
And I walk up to the Oh, actually I don't
know they're there yet, so sorry.
Speaker 5: I see all of.
Speaker 12: That going on up there.
Speaker 2: You have an otherworldly success, So I think, sir, that
you do. I think you smell them.
Speaker 14: Oh yes, I tilt my head up into the air
and I smell and I can smell whatever sandal wood
or whatever it was from Stalker, and there's a new
scent in the air. And I walk down the street
and I take the position with that their leader pad.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, and.
Speaker 14: My hands turned to bestrial claws.
Speaker 5: I want an attack? Can I attack? Can I attack?
Speaker 11: Ken?
Speaker 2: You got an I was about to say, you can
have two actions per a round because you did the
other worldly success. Okay, it wasn't just a normal success,
So absolutely you can attack one wonderful all right, go
ahead and rule your attack. You can choose to roll
body or ether for this attack.
Speaker 12: Yep, okay, but what oh dina is ether?
Speaker 5: Okay?
Speaker 12: Yeah yeah, yep, yep.
Speaker 5: Difficulty.
Speaker 2: Your difficulty is going to be which one are you attacking? Uh,
the one to my right, so the one that just
tussled with Esteban. Yes, then your difficulty is going to
be sixty because he's engaged and not paying attention to you.
Success fifty success, all right, So you're gonna what does
this look like?
Speaker 7: What do you do?
Speaker 14: I lunge right at him, screaming, and I grab a
hold of its stupid horns and I and I'm just
crying at his face.
Speaker 12: Just yeah, okay, trying to scratch it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, So you kind of like you grab at
something that you know we can't see, and and and
maybe you latch onto a horn. Maybe you don't realize
that there's a horn there, or maybe there's instinct happening here,
but you grab on and you hear the cracking as
you are, you know, moving these bones around, but they
seem to kind of snap back into place after you're done,
you know, kind of with it's in your jaws or
whatever it is that you're doing with your hands. But
you do hear it making sounds of pain, like a weird,
maybe high pitched, demonic groan, and and that's it. But
it does kind of right itself once you're Once you're done,
it seems that physical that might not be a good
idea unless you do something else first.
Speaker 14: Okay, yep, all right, this is the only time. Once
I hear the pain, I hear that it feels something. Yea,
I smile a little smirk. Oh you feel pain? Okay,
and I believe that's my turn.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's perfect. Also, you're still gray scale, so come
back to us. Oh so sorry, all right, stock it.
You're up. Roll your attack, buddy, let's go go baby
dead Jenna.
Speaker 5: Mm hmm.
Speaker 7: So that's just body.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's your choice, either body or uh well, I.
Speaker 7: Think your face attack is ether. It's all part of
the same.
Speaker 5: Move.
Speaker 12: So okay, what's the difficulty.
Speaker 2: This guy doesn't even know that you're there, So I'm
going to say sixty or seventy. I think sixty is good.
Sixty percent chance you can do it? There you goes, Yeah,
what does that look like?
Speaker 12: So when I sort of.
Speaker 7: Slip into this pocket of between time and space, I'm
falling and intentionally, and then when I'm coming out, I'm
coming out with gravity and celerity at extreme speeds, and
I'm bringing I'm it's like I'm leaping off of a
building and then landing on this skull with my dagger
with as much force as I can.
Speaker 12: Wow. Okay, So the.
Speaker 7: Sort of purple pink line appears and opens, and I
come through with a sort of shadow and purple smoke
following me, and my arm comes out first, leading with
the dagger, and it lands in its skull with my
body weight coming behind it, and I pull it down
as much as I can.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you absolutely do that. You crack this thing skull
wide open, and you bring the knife down and it
the whole thing. The skull just splits, and as you
pull the dagger out, the skull reforms itself. The whole
head spins around as if it's not actually connected to
the spine like ours are, and it just chatters its
teeth at you as it sees you.
Speaker 6: I uh.
Speaker 7: At first, I am recovering from my jump, and then
I stand straight and cock my head, studying its reaction
to me, and I think that's where we stop.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, Constantine, Yes, would you like to try again
to get it. Please, Okay, go for it. It's that
fifty to fifty shot.
Speaker 10: Yep.
Speaker 2: Okay, it's an otherworldly success. Baby, what happens?
Speaker 10: Okay, it's another worldly success.
Speaker 13: But as I mentioned, I got a ninety nine, so
I think I'm still not feeling so great.
Speaker 10: So you see me kind of.
Speaker 13: And I'm kind of trying to crawl up from the pavement,
just pushing myself.
Speaker 10: Up, and I say, does vnih hoofleish?
Speaker 13: And then I would like to look in the direction
and what do I see of these creatures at the
moment I see these creatures?
Speaker 2: You do not see these creatures at the moment you
see Gunner.
Speaker 7: Who is.
Speaker 2: Off to the side on the street. Gunner, did you
move forward? I forget? I'm so sorry. After you did
your speech with Fenn.
Speaker 8: I mean thank you. I wanted to.
Speaker 12: But yeah, yeah, go for it.
Speaker 2: You can move and then do a thing during a yeah.
Speaker 12: Yeah, after.
Speaker 11: Let's say after Fenn started moving.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you walked away, Gunner just like.
Speaker 11: Climbs this building. It just gets on top of this
build ship.
Speaker 2: Okay, hold on, can I can I just say that
you do the you do the like underworld thing where
you just like squat and jump on top of the
goddamn building. You don't need to climb. You're just like, yes, okay,
all right, I fucking love it. Okay, So you see then, Constantine,
you see to your left, you see Gunner on top
of this building. Here to your right, you see Cora.
Her veins are glowing like a little orange yellow red,
almost like they're fluorescent lights, and her eyes are lit up.
It looks like she's, you know, maybe mumbling. She might
be casting some sort of spell or just got done
casting a spell. And then you see a turned over,
busted car. Estevan is on the trunk of the car,
potentially groaning or like just he is in the process
of getting up. And and you also see Stalker who's
standing there with his headcock to looking at something that
you can't see. And then okay, Fenn is at the front,
and I think he might be in the process of
like grabbing something with his claws, but you can't see
anything that he has.
Speaker 13: Yeah, so I start walking forward and at first it's
like a bit of a hobble, and then I sort
of right myself and I like to think that I'm
filled with rage.
Speaker 10: That was not polite what happened to me, and so
it's not demure. It was not demure.
Speaker 13: The thing about knowing why and how people say yes
means that I'm also good, I think knowing how to
make them stop, so I would like to say hult,
and then I want them to freeze. I want these
enemies that I cannot see to become frozen.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, go ahead and roll. This is gonna be
really hard because you've never done this before. Yep, yep,
that's all right.
Speaker 12: I don't I don't.
Speaker 2: Mind at all. There's always like an.
Speaker 10: Instinct thing, yeah, just like I want this to stop,
like this is rude. Stop what you're doing? How dare you?
Speaker 12: Yep?
Speaker 10: Yeah? Okay?
Speaker 3: What what?
Speaker 10: Sorry? What is the target difficulty?
Speaker 2: The your dining is thirty, so that is going to
be your target difficulty. It's going to be thirty.
Speaker 12: Yep.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be really hard, but you still have.
Speaker 13: Oh my god, it's actually thirty one because I got
that you want Okay, yep, okay, well I feeled that's okay.
Speaker 2: What do you think happens though? Because I I think
this is a crucial moment that I need to make
sure that Constantine knows there is magic there for him
to use, like this is possible. You feel the rush
maybe of wind, You feel the heat in your cheeks,
the flush of power. You just couldn't execute it quite
right because you don't know how.
Speaker 10: It's crazy. Can I throw this out? And it's crazy?
Speaker 13: Okay, because it's unfocused and I don't know what I'm
doing and I've never done this before. Can it be
that I freeze everyone and everything for like one second?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 13: Okay, if it's for a second, yeah, like a second,
because it's like I can't differentiate between enemy versus like
on our side.
Speaker 2: I think. So I gave you this little weird can
you can you see the can you see the aura
around you?
Speaker 8: Or no?
Speaker 10: Uh not anymore?
Speaker 15: Oh?
Speaker 10: Yes I can? Yep, yep, yep, yep.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, okay, So I think everything in this bubble
does that, including yourself for a second? Cool because you're
so far away from them. Yes, but it's like it's
you know, you're a vampire. You've got vampire senses. There's
no way you missed that this happens, even if it's
for a second.
Speaker 10: Yeah, okay, Yeah, that's perfect.
Speaker 13: I like it because it's like something happens but obviously
not what I intended.
Speaker 10: But it's not makes sense, and.
Speaker 2: It gives you the idea that if you, you know,
keep trying, it's possible.
Speaker 10: Yeah yeah, okay, awesome, very cool.
Speaker 2: All right, my turn. Okay, this guy is gonna attack
Gunner off the roof again. Gunner, go ahead and roll
your body or your ether your magic to defend yourself.
Speaker 8: Dam I'm gonna roll up. Well, my body.
Speaker 2: Difficulty I think is forty five. Just because you're standing
on top of a roof, like that's hard to miss.
I would think. Yeah, yeah, okay, okay, yes, you're fine.
I'm so sorry you rolled Failure doubles, so so yeah.
Doubles are basically like souped up versions of the thing.
So you did you did do failure doubles, which means
you are going to take twice the damage, which means
you get hit for two points here by this wind.
But what do you think happens? Because I think that
you just stand there and take it and look at
the thing.
Speaker 11: But I don't, you know, like I mean, two damages,
that's a lot of damage.
Speaker 2: It is a lot of damage. So it's up to
you what happened.
Speaker 8: I think like.
Speaker 11: As soon as I got up there and like even
looked up, they just shoot this wind at me and
it just knocks me off the off the roof and
I like fall into a dumpster below or like we
don't have one of those like like fall and hit
like three things on the way down.
Speaker 8: Kind of thing, you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay, all right, that's perfect.
Speaker 8: Maybe I'm here now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's fine. You kind of like immediately tumbled
down and then kind of get up on your feet. Okay,
all right, that's awesome. Okay, these guys now are unuh
done with the car situation, so I am going to
attack with both of them. This one is going for you, Fenn,
So please roll body and magic to defend yourself. Asktebond,
you're gonna need to roll body or magic to defend yourself.
And Stocker, you're gonna need to roll body or magic
to defend yourself. I did not need to do that,
my bad m.
Speaker 14: Forty failure doubles.
Speaker 7: Other word, lady success am I okay?
Speaker 2: Eighty eight Pretty bad Dude ninety nine took two hit
points off of Constantina and knocked them out for a
couple of rounds. So I'm gonna let you decide what
this does. But this is going to take two of
your health off.
Speaker 5: Okay, yep, I just need to figure out how to
do that.
Speaker 2: So if you just click on your token, it's the
green one, and you just take it down by two,
or you can also type in minus two and I'll
do it for you.
Speaker 8: It didn't.
Speaker 2: Okay, there we go. What does this look like? Do
you think.
Speaker 12: Which one attacked me?
Speaker 5: And how was I attacked?
Speaker 2: The one that is right here is going to step
forward and engage with you. I don't know if you
can see that. So it's the one that was previously
knocked by the car. So again, you don't see this guy,
but you smell him as he gets close to you.
It's the rotten eggs. It's overwhelming, maybe a little bit
of burnt flesh even or cigar, kind of like smell
that like weird, like oh this is ash approaches you
and gets very very close, and you will hear a
sound before it happens to you. But you hear the
sound of a bone breaking, and then one of your
bones will break.
Speaker 5: Okay, it's going to be.
Speaker 14: The hand that was holding the horn on the other
guy is what it was. He's trying to help his
little friend. He's very cute. He gets the jump on me,
is what happens. I'm too focused with rearranging his friend's
face with my claws, and I'm just like tunnel vision
on it.
Speaker 12: And I hear all that that happens, and I let go.
But now my focus is drawn to that one. Yep.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, And so you hear the lunch of the
sound of the of his hand just being crushed and
the bones uh do not recover. Stalker can see this, right, So, Stalker,
you notice that the one that used this ability on
Esteban is forearm does not recover the way that they
do when you guys attack them physically. And the same
thing happens with the hand of this one when he
crushes it to hurt him. It doesn't recover.
Speaker 7: Uh, he just crushes it with his own hand.
Speaker 2: It just crushes itself.
Speaker 8: Okay.
Speaker 5: And it's the same hand that that I was broken
on me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, Now other worldly successes from you two? What
does this look like as they try to attack you
and you fucking dodge out of the way.
Speaker 12: Should I go for I'll go first?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 7: I think I'm still for some reason, it was a
reaction and for me, I'm still in this place where
I'm sort of moving through time and space differently, and.
Speaker 2: It's just I don't think you are anymore though, right,
because you attacked, so you're now out of space? Right?
Speaker 12: Is that how that works?
Speaker 11: Yeah?
Speaker 7: Okay, I am, but I'm I'm connected to that, and
I think that it's just I sort of and I
move that I use that. Yeah cool, I fucking love that.
Oh my god, it's it's not a special ability. It's
just flavor on a dodge.
Speaker 2: Yeah, meganically, but well it is a now.
Speaker 8: Moves.
Speaker 7: Yes he moves, he's there, and then he's not, and
maybe yes, this purple shadow smokers where he was, and
then he's afoot to the right and just missus.
Speaker 2: Estebon, what about you? You also had another worldly success.
Speaker 12: I think I am on the roof of the trunk
of this car, and with the arm that's not broken,
I hit it out of frustration, realizing that I probably
can keep fighting it this way. And I am, despite this,
in my own net, a little distracted and frustrated with myself,
and I'm starting to get up and this thing makes
a move to attack me, perhaps by breaking another bone.
And well here's the question. Is it attacked me by
breaking another bone?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 12: Or how is it? Because yes, I'm about to stop it,
so it will just.
Speaker 2: Have I was going to do a different ability, but
I want to say yes to whatever it is that
you are.
Speaker 12: No, no, whatever it is it doesn't know. I just
I'm asking because I want to know if it has
a broken bone, and how to describe this happening. That's all.
I just want to know what the attack is.
Speaker 2: Y yes, yes, yes, yes, go for it.
Speaker 12: So I hear another snap yep, and all of a sudden,
like it's the split second where I am distracted, and
then I hear a snap and I am not even
really thinking, and then suddenly in front of me is
my own shadow and it's arm like kind of just
it disappears off of it and then the reforms and
you know, goes back to whip.
Speaker 2: Oh my god. So we hear this like crushing sound
from this bone, Like I am imagining that this skeleton
and obviously I think only Stalker can see this, but
this skeleton reaches out, grabs his own forearm and just
twists it to like rip it off at the elbow,
and we see Stebon like a shadow that maybe kind
of leaps up in front of Estebon. Am I allowed
to say that it kind of maybe seems like it
has a personality of its own for a second, Stimon
where it's like leaping up to get in front of you,
like oh my god, stop, like you know, and then
all of a sudden, it's arm snaps, the shadow fades away,
and then it reforms itself.
Speaker 12: Then can I hold on? Can I it has a
different personality? Oh yeah, I think it. I think it
jumps up with its hands on its hips like this
like this, like with his chest Superman like a superhero.
Speaker 2: I love that so much. Okay, very very dramatic. Yeah, okay,
I love it.
Speaker 12: But then but in its four I'm just like disappears
and then it kind of just falls backwards to where
it may have been perfect yep.
Speaker 2: Okay, so those two attacked, this one attacked. Okay, we're good, Cora,
my darling, my sweet you're up.
Speaker 12: So just to be sure, though, that one has two
broken forearms, that's correct, Okay.
Speaker 9: Who has two broken forearms?
Speaker 2: The one right in front of Estebon Okay, yeah, next
to the car.
Speaker 9: Okay, so just a recap here we have Esteban's arm
is broken and not repairing. End's hand is broken and
not repairing. But then there's also monsters that have broken
bones that haven't prepared either.
Speaker 2: Yes, that is correct. Okay, they're mirrored or matching appendages
do not heal?
Speaker 12: Okay, got it.
Speaker 9: So soccer and I can see these these creatures, and
so I'm off to the side watching all this happen,
and I can actually see them interact with each other
and like attacking and the injuries and stuff, including the
times where.
Speaker 2: One of us.
Speaker 9: Tackled into them and they just like came back, they
bounced back. So I'm probably putting together the fact that
physical attacks are probably not going to be enough, yes,
and we need to do something else. Oh my gosh,
I want to try something my.
Speaker 2: Favorite, my favorite phrase, Well would you like to try?
Speaker 9: I think at this point I would be noticing things
don't quite work the way that I'm used to, and
so I'm probably just trying to get a sense of like, well,
what what what does work, what doesn't work, what works
differently in that kind of thing.
Speaker 8: So the.
Speaker 9: There's a lot going on up there by the car,
and I think in order to sort of try to
help the situation over there, I want to like project
something onto one of the creatures there. These seem like
creatures from another dimension, but they also seem like they
can get hurt and they can potentially die or get banished.
So I want to like try to wither one of them.
Speaker 2: Okay, oh, this is fantastic. Now I believe to whither.
You had to touch it, right, yes, okay, but.
Speaker 9: I want to see if I can do it from
a distance for some reason.
Speaker 2: Now, let's roll. This is gonna be this is gonna
be your ether, your magic, or you're dying. So that
one all the way on the end. There Your difficulty
normally against these guys for a standard thing I was
is seventy because of the Ishna buff But I think
this is this is a little strange and odd. So
we're gonna bump that. We're gonna give you a fifty
to fifty shot on this man, because I just think
it's fucking cool.
Speaker 7: And if you do it, you do it.
Speaker 2: And if you don't, oh well, but yeah, please get
a fucking otherworldly success because I need this to be
a thing that you can do. I don't wait too
if you get below like, oh my god, okay, I'm
sorry to lose my ship, but of course you got
another worldly sixty?
Speaker 12: Can I can?
Speaker 2: I can? I? I have an offer? I have an offer.
Can this be a combo ability with you and Esteban?
Speaker 9: Yeah?
Speaker 12: Okay.
Speaker 2: The reason you can do and do the reach is
because Esteban uses the shadow and you reach through your
or his shadow like comes to you. You reach through
the shadow, and then the shadow moves it and then
your fucking arms come comes out. One of the goddamn
shadows is that?
Speaker 12: Okay, after this heroic shadow takes the hit for me,
he kind of just dives forward under the thing and
and like and it's like now on the ground like
like this in front of front of Chra.
Speaker 2: Yes, so can just like reach down into that shadow
and then reach up and and grab the arm or
leg or what the fuck ever of this creature and
wither it.
Speaker 10: I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Speaker 11: What?
Speaker 10: Oh I can't even this is so cool.
Speaker 9: I also I just feel like Stefan too, like if
your shadow is activated there, like maybe I'm trying to
tap into the thing that I normally do, but because
there's a distance, I'm like kind of grasping into that
empty space and maybe I like activate or like, yeah,
like pass through your shadow and I like, yeah, just
such it and eventually like turn it into a tool.
Yeah from a distance.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh my god, I love it.
Speaker 12: I love it. I can can you know since she
normally needs to touch but isn't really now, yeah, if
like's just a shadowy version of her hands comes up
around its leg or something and grabs it or it
depends on how big you want it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's whatever it is. It's a combo ability between
the two and you. So she won't be able to
do it in the future. Yeah yeah, yeah yeah. So
but what I like is the idea that either of
you can use this ability on your turn if you
get like another worldly success or whatever, but otherwise it
just won't work. But only one of you can use
it per round, right, that would make sense?
Speaker 9: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, combo attacks fuck yeah.
Speaker 9: Okakay, oh fantastic.
Speaker 2: So what does the withering do?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 9: So I think it would look different on these guys
than like something made of like, you know, flesh and bone.
I imagine that, However, the shadow latches onto them. It's
almost like almost like a like a vacuum where all
of a sudden the creature starts like like doing one
of these numbers and then like almost collapsing in on itself.
And then after a couple of seconds it gets stronger
and starts jerking and maybe almost like kind of like
a vacuum seal like it'sh it crushes the bone to
rock probably right, We're well almost like like a piece
of paper that you like crumple in your hand. It
just like it's oh yeah, I don't know how to
I don't know how. I can see head, but I
can't like ubilize it. Yeah, but it just like uh
folds in on itself like jerkily, and maybe like since
they're uh like hell creatures or something like maybe with
every jerk and every break and every fold like some
ash or like yeah, embers like come out of it
or something.
Speaker 2: I love that. I love that so much. And I
believe this wither ability just turns that appendage unusable. So now, yeah,
I'm assuming you've done the leg, but you can do
whichever you like. But this one does already have two
bum forearms, so now it can't really move if you
take the leg.
Speaker 9: Mm hmm, yeah, like I'm sure cool.
Speaker 2: All right, so the leg is now gone off of
this one. Holy shit. Yes, okay, Gunner, you're up all
on Trinity moment, Get up Trinity, Get up Gunner.
Speaker 11: So so you see Gunner like in the alleyway and
he kind of like rises from a pile of trash
and there's like a fast food wrapper like stuck to
his jacket that just kind of like peels off as
he rises and falls to the floor, and he still
can't see whoever we're fighting, and he's pissed off, and
he just knows that it's shit is going down.
Speaker 8: He saw.
Speaker 11: As he was jumping up to the roof. He sees
Fen struggling with this beast, and he knows that they're
in this you know, general vicinity, I think.
Speaker 8: And I'm just really pissed off. And is Esteban's still
on the roof of the car I need to know before?
Speaker 12: Yeah, I'm he's standing on it right now. Well, here's
a question too, the one that lost a leg is
he's still standing up and we can't see him.
Speaker 2: You can't see him, So I won't answer if he's
standing up or not yet. But but I mean also,
you guys can battle chatter, you know, like Gunner, if
you're what if you were going to leap onto the car,
like you know, you can just say like move or
something like that so that you can still do your ability. Yeah,
you guys are this is a comic book. Let's go.
Speaker 11: So I just realized that I can I can jump
to the top of a roof and I can become airborne.
Speaker 6: So I do.
Speaker 11: I kind of like lower for a second and then
I just shoot up into the air and I'm doing
like one of those things that he saw in those
like viral like tiktoks of like vikings, diving off into
like a huge pit of water like one hundred feet
below where he like opens up and then becomes you know,
very tight towards the impact.
Speaker 8: And I think, like in mid air, I'm like move
to the bot.
Speaker 11: And hopefully he gets out of the way.
Speaker 12: Can I do something that might help him, like as
he's coming down as I move, like because it's my
turn next, Yes, what would you like to do? I'm
going to try to do some magic thing to like
move my shadow around one so he can see it
where it is.
Speaker 2: Yes, absolutely absolutely, So you roll first then, but this
is forfeiting your turn.
Speaker 12: We're just changing the order, which is he's in the
air and okay, see and he says, and I roll
off the car and I and I move. I take
a couple of sep backs. So what is my difficulty? Uh,
for this? I'm using my shadow. I want to extend
it and then go around.
Speaker 2: Okay, sixty, because you just did something crazy with Cora,
and I think you're like, holy shit, and so now
you've got a little bit of a shift as you
realize you my worldly success. Okay, so what does this
look like?
Speaker 12: I'm standing on the car and it looks like I'm
getting ready to do something else. And as I go
like this, I hear I hear him like this, and
I kind of just jump backwards probably but I don't
know ten fifteen feet because I don't know where he's going.
And then I think I put my hand on the
ground and the shadow kind of extends again. And since
it's otherworldly, can I put I wanted to go underneath
them and then kind of even if it can't go
under them, but wrap around.
Speaker 2: Yeah, can can I just say you just it? You're
You're shadow just becomes the shadow of the thing, so
he can see exactly where it is and what it's doing.
Speaker 12: See well, see, well, if it's out the worldly can
do more than one. So maybe Fenn can see somebody
when he.
Speaker 2: Goes to oh you little bit, Yes, absolutely, I would say, yeah,
the one that's attacking.
Speaker 12: And and I don't know which one he's going for,
So I'm gonna but I'm gonna do Fenn, and I'm
gonna do the one that was that I was fighting.
Speaker 2: Oh that one, Okay. I assumed you were going to
do the one by like closest to him, But yeah,
that's fine too.
Speaker 12: If you want other ones coming over, Yeah, jumping.
Speaker 2: For So I assume that you don't need to know
which one you're jumping for or he's jumping for, because
your shadow is doing that, it's gonna do it. Yeah, okay,
So I say that one and then the one that's
next to Fen. Yep, that's what I was thinking to. Yeah, okay, cool.
The suddenly, Gunner, you can see these two, So which
one are you going to land on?
Speaker 11: Actually, so I'm flying through the air all of a sudden,
see these beasts that I haven't seen.
Speaker 8: Before, but I want to land through the car.
Speaker 10: Okay.
Speaker 11: So you see me leap through the air and just
kind of nose dive through the center of the car,
and then you hear some creaks and like mechanics breaking
and smoke and maybe oh sorry, sparks and maybe even
fire come out of this thing. But I'm ripping it
in half and I'm holding it both sides of the
car on both hands like axes or boxing gloves.
Speaker 8: Oh, I don't know if I need to roll for that.
Speaker 2: Your attack for sure, absolutely, so go ahead and roll
your body or your ether, either one.
Speaker 8: Okay, I'm gonna roll body again.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm sorry.
Speaker 9: He just turned the car into like two handheld.
Speaker 2: Weapons, ye, gauntlets made out of the car. That's exactly right. Okay, smash, let's.
Speaker 7: Go fuck it? Yeah yeah, why not?
Speaker 2: Oh my god, Okay, this is so fucking anime, dude.
Speaker 9: What the fuck?
Speaker 8: What the this is?
Speaker 12: From the start?
Speaker 2: Yeah, the start was rough. I was like, oh god,
they might be in trouble. Okay, so before we describe
what this looks like, we're going to take a super
super quick break, but we'll be back in like five minutes.
So stretch, go, pee, be fastt snacks and we'll be
right back.
Speaker 5: You are listening to death List. I don't know why
I am telling you this.
Speaker 12: You're in the middle of the podcast. What are you doing?
Speaker 5: Go listen to the rest of the show now.
Speaker 2: And we're back.
Speaker 12: Okay.
Speaker 2: So I had them roll, I I had I had
two of them roll. I had both Fenn and Cora
roll just to see if I could give them some
extra information about like the the these enemies that they're facing,
and Fenn got twenty two doubles. So I sneakily gave
them some information that might help them on this fight.
But you don't get to know what it is because
they might just take advantage of it.
Speaker 15: They might not.
Speaker 2: Okay, now, describe what we see.
Speaker 16: I believe right, yes, yeah, So you would just see
smoke and fire, like flashing fire coming out of this.
Speaker 8: I'd like to think.
Speaker 11: I don't know how it would work physically, but I
believe there would be some fire if there's gasoline or something.
Speaker 2: And yeah, and sparks and I don't care there's fires.
Speaker 11: Ripping, Sure, there's fire. So it just looks chaotic and
the smoke kind of settles and you see gunner and
I'm standing there with these two half of the cars
on my hands, but I just want to start swinging them.
I just want to start bashing. And I feel like
he might just start whipping them around and just like
causing an absolute like chaotic scene where he's just lashing
these things around, but then would settle for one he
could see and okay, and just hammer fists both of
them down on him if if he could see it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, So you can see this one right in
front of you, and you can see the one right
in front of Fen. If you try to bring a
car down on top of the one that's entangled with Fen,
you're gonna get Fen. So I think it's probably best
that you go for this one. And I think that's
just what you would choose to do anyway, because nobody's
there by that one. So yeah, you're gonna go ahead and.
Speaker 11: Take it the safest route.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, this actually who's next? Esteban? Okay, but you did,
you went already next. Okay, So here's the thing. Here's
the thing is that I just gave Fend some crazy
information and if Fenn chooses to do anything about it,
then this attack with the fucking car would do potentially
a lot more damage than it's about to do. So
I'm just slowing time down like a comic book to
see a fend chooses to do anything about it?
Speaker 9: Do you choose to do anything about it?
Speaker 8: Fenn?
Speaker 14: I'm gonna do something, Yes, Okay, I am yes. As
all of this is going on, my hand is broken,
there's enemies that seemingly just put themselves back together, and
I hear two voices at the same time giving completely
different advice. I hear some I hear load in my
bond telling me to hide my power, telling me to
be something that I'm not. I think the back of
my mind it's quiet at first, but I hear another
voice telling me it's impossible to hide what you are.
You can put a filter on your emotions, you can,
you can funnel them any way you wish. But eventually
that funnel is going to crack, and that filter is
going to get too overloaded, and the dam is just
going to release in with my broken hand, and I
look at these enemies, I let out.
Speaker 6: A how.
Speaker 5: And it echoes through the streets and I'm.
Speaker 14: Looking eyes darting through all of them as a grin
forms on my face. But whoever's looking at me will notice.
The grin gets too large from my head, and my
mouth and nose protrude out as my ears get a
pointy and my blonde hair covers my entire body. And
I reach onet my broken hand out and it gets larger,
and the left hand does the exact same thing, and
I fix my posture and I am bigger than Gunner.
Speaker 5: And no, it's my turn to have some fun.
Speaker 17: I want to grab the one that broke my fucking arm,
and I want to rip it apart, and I take
its horn and I flash into itself over and.
Speaker 12: Over and over and over and over and over and
over and over, and I want to see if.
Speaker 5: It's going to come back together.
Speaker 8: Now.
Speaker 2: Okay, I would say roll, but you rolled off screen.
It's twenty two. It's otherworldly doubles, which is why you
are doing two things this turn first being this like
shift into this form well and the howl. Okay, this
was a magical howl, by the way, so everyone will
feel your bones reverberating here. Your bones are gonna shake
as he does this. This is a magical ability that
he's using. However, it just so happens that these these
creatures that work in a pack. They need to not
They won't take physical damage as long as this doesn't
this kind of like reverberation isn't happening to them. So
right now, he just lets out this howl, and all
of their bones start to tremble and shake and chitter
and chatter, and they are unable to properly communicate and
infuse with each other right now for this round, which
is why Gunner takes half of this one's fucking health
as he brings the car down on top. So we see,
you know, Been just releases this howl. Everyone's bone's shaking.
You guys don't take damage, but it doesn't feel great.
It feels very uncomfortable when he does this. If he
wanted to hurt you, it would be hurting you. Like
that's the sense you would probably get as a vampire. Also,
I think maybe some of you might immediately have your
instincts kick in of like this is this is an
enemy of mine, a great enemy of mine, right in
front of me. As you see him transform, and then
Gunner brings this car down onto this other creature here,
and you fucking nearly obliterate this thing. You take half
of its health. What does it look like as you
bring the car down on top of him and he crunches,
but he just can't quite bring his body back together.
Speaker 11: Yeah, So I think that when I bring it down before,
I'm swinging them around and there's like sparks from them
grinding on the floor, and I'm kind of maybe even
like twirling, just twirling them around, and I settle with
this guy and I bring them together and I just
hammer fist them down, and I think when I do that,
there's another eighties action movie explosion and it kind of
just like a pop, like yeah, huge like pop or
explosion when I bring this thing down on him and
strike him.
Speaker 8: I got you.
Speaker 2: Perfect, all right, Fenn, you went and you're going again.
You're grabbing the horn right. I was gonna let you
go twice. Roll again to see if you can. What
damage you do to this thing?
Speaker 5: Sure thing body?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 2: In difficulty, Uh, difficulty is now sixty for everyone because
you've reverberated their bones.
Speaker 1: Success.
Speaker 2: Wow, just barely a success? Holy shit? Okay, so your
class you actually do two damage when you hit instead
of just one unless they have something special to prevent
you from doing that much damage. So you're gonna wail
and take two off immediately of this guy in front
of you. All right, as you grab the horn, you
snap the horn off, and then you beat this thing
with a horn multiple times. And I don't know if
you're like a giggling or laughing as you do this,
but for sure this thing cannot keep up with you now.
And yeah, it's it's probably scary to see Fenn go
this this Nutso okay, s Sebon you you went already? Right? Yes, okay,
So Stalker, you're up, My dear, I've been.
Speaker 7: Watching everything studying these creatures. I have never encountered trying
to discover.
Speaker 5: Out kill them.
Speaker 7: Ah should I roll for that?
Speaker 12: Sure?
Speaker 2: Yep, you can go ahead. Do you want to use
your eyeballs or do you want to try to do
some magical.
Speaker 8: I think.
Speaker 7: I know that they are using some sort of magic,
and I'm just trying to figure out what that is.
I I'm not sure that Stalker has the ability to
study magic like that, so he'd have to kind of
go on instinct here, but he's trying to see something.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you're and obviously it's like PBu, so
I will let you roll, But I usually try to
let you know if it's going to be ridiculously difficult,
in which case this would be because as of now,
Stalker is still operating on his vampire the mass grade
character sheet in his head right as in, that's what
I know, that's my existence that I know, and you're
occult was zero. So I think it's like you don't
really you know, we're going to try. You can absolutely try,
but it's going to be really difficult. I think it's
going to be like twenty or thirty? Is it going
to be? Your difficulty for this probably will go twenty five.
If you want to try to, I mean, you can
use your eyes as well, and that'll be much easier
because some shit has just happened, is in the howl
and you can look and see that gunner has maybe
you know, done some damage and it seems to be
working this time for some reason. That'll be easier for you.
But if you want to try the magic stuff, you can.
Speaker 7: I Stalker knows something weird is going on here, he
doesn't understand it, and he's trying.
Speaker 2: To Yep, okay, go ahead and rule your magic. It's
going to be difficulty twenty five failure Okay, Yeah, what
does this look like.
Speaker 7: I think he's just doesn't look exciting.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 7: I think he's standing there and his head is cocked
and his brow is furrowed, and he's just looking at them,
and he's watching all of this crazy. It's stout, not
really crazy to him. He's seen a lot, but all
of this, these explosions and skeletons getting smashed and reconstructing,
and people turning into animalistic creatures and howling and stabbing
and fighting, all of this is sort of happening around him,
and he's just stood there very still.
Speaker 2: I think. I think what's happening with then is in insane.
I don't think you have seen this before personally, so
that is also something that would probably catch your attention. Yeah, okay, okay,
So you're just looking at the scene, You're taking everything
in as all of this is happening.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'd like I'd like to imagine that it's it's
like a drone cam and it's going through It's everything's
sort of slowing down, and there's like big explosion from
the car and the skeletons coming back together. There's a
howl and like a feral attack, and I'm just stood
exactly still my head cocked and brow furrowed, sort of
the focus of the camera as it goes around.
Speaker 5: And that's my turn.
Speaker 7: I have no idea what's happening?
Speaker 13: All right, Constantine, you are up, Okay, I know I'm
not going to be able to do not with that
adds to things, Okay, Okay, I am. I am speeding
up towards them like I'm trying to get to them.
My goal is to uh get up to where Fenn is,
even though Fenn is terrifying right now. While I'm doing that,
I had a skill in h VTM rules since the Unseen,
which would give me the ability to see unseen things
like ghosts and stuff.
Speaker 10: Or people who were trying to obfuskate. So I would
like to see if I can do that now, if
I can see who are fighting?
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, So you're gonna roll your You're gonna roll
your dye, and your difficulty is going to be you
got a fifty to fifty shop a coin even with
the rattling, the bone rattling.
Speaker 10: Okay, oh my goodness, Okay, cool.
Speaker 2: Now back to what you're saying about, like, oh, there's
no way I will be able to do two things
in a turn. Yes, well, now you've done an otherworldly success,
so you may now do something else. But I I
would like to say, you are approaching Fenn. Is there? Yeah, yeah, Okay,
as you approach Fenn, I want to be very careful.
But also I think there's no way for me to
do this without just saying it. So as you approach
Benn and you do this ability where you are able
to kind of like see in to the you know,
the obfuscated space or you know however they're hiding, you
will see the skeletons, but you will also have a
moment of unmistakable clarity that before you is a werewolf,
not a vampire, and this thing will kill you. It
is the most dangerous thing in this space right now,
and it is very happily beating up upon this skeleton, and.
Speaker 5: He's yelling as he's like wailing on this fucking thing.
Speaker 10: Okay, I would like to not go towards Ben.
Speaker 13: Then, and I would like to well, it's as you
get close, as I'm getting closer.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's when you get close enough you
can recognize like, oh shit.
Speaker 13: Then I would like to then go around to this
one that's here, yeah, okay, and I want to enter
its space and I want to grab it by the
chin and okay, close to my face.
Speaker 2: Might I recommend you choose a different one because that
one is currently being crushed by Gunner.
Speaker 10: And it's just that fent is so close to all
of them.
Speaker 2: Okay, this very scary.
Speaker 13: I choose the one whatever one is not currently being
crushed or is surrounded by the most thing I've ever seen.
This one's just getting the stare down from Stalker at
the moment. So I'm gonna go to this one and
I'm gonna grab it by the chin really hard and
pull its face close to mine, and I want to
give off this like awe, this entrancement awe, and say
what do you want with us?
Speaker 9: Why are you here?
Speaker 2: You're going to try to talk to it? Okay, yeah,
this is another role because your otherworldly success was for apusekate, yep, okay,
go ahead. This is again your magic difficulty is going
to be thirty.
Speaker 7: I thought he was going to kiss it.
Speaker 8: I like him.
Speaker 2: Ah dang. Okay, I think though, as you take the
chin of this creature that you can now see and
it's you know, it is still recovering from It's basically
been shocked around where physical damage will actually hurt it,
so its bones are still reverberating from this howl, and
it's still trying to recover. And you take its chin
and turn it towards you, and when you ask that
you do notice that the dark sockets where there are
no eyes, an emberraish light lights up when you talk
to it, and then goes back and recedes again.
Speaker 10: Okay, awesome, m h Coora, you're up.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, Yeah, so much just happened.
Speaker 9: I'm trying to think of I'm like trying to sift
through what Cora would know and like what I would
have like noticed through all of this.
Speaker 2: I gotta be honest with you. I like it when
you guys. Note, unless you are currently like super engaged
and there's a lot, like a huge battle going on,
I don't see why you can't have caught a little
bit of each of the things that are going on.
It's happening right in front of you. You specifically are
also way back watching the whole thing. So true, Okay,
I say you just take it all in. Okay, if
you want, anyway, you can be oblivious to certain things.
If you'd like I'm.
Speaker 9: I'm thinking about the howl. Yeah, and the fact that
it rattled their bones, and the rattling of the bones
is what disrupted.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, okay, so.
Speaker 9: I want to try another ability then.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but would you like to do a brain man,
I just want to eat it.
Speaker 9: I would like to. This is probably gonna work on
just one one enemy, so that's fine. Which enemy is
like the most dangerous right now for the rest of
the group.
Speaker 2: Fenn, I'll say it again, Fen, but no, in terms
of skeletons, the one that's on the or it looks
like it's on the trunk of the car. So this
one right here, I'll have it step off because gunners
technically using the car, so the car is now here.
Speaker 9: Which is excess the one that's like closest to my
line of sight?
Speaker 12: Yeah, okay, So that's also the one that lost the leg,
right that that she withered?
Speaker 2: No, the one that lost its leg is this one
right here? Right?
Speaker 11: Oh?
Speaker 2: No, No, because you're right, this one was on the
back of the car. Yeah, the one that one yeah, yeah, yeah, okay,
it's this one. So it's both of its arms are
like straight down and then it's also like limping a
little bit.
Speaker 9: Perfect it's wounded, it can take more damage.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 9: Okay. So I want to focus on this creature then
and pull upon my magic and focus on its form
and call to its bones, and I want to command
the bones to unknit and to reform. Yep. Okay, Okay,
go ahead and roll your magic.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, uh no, because you've got Ishna seventy. Yep,
you're at seventy right now. You're supercharged by your demon
friend whatever he is.
Speaker 18: Oh my god, oh my got Okay, So you remember
how you were like you pulled the myrgles and you
were like, I'm probably only going to be able to
do this on one of the thing, and then you
rolled another worldly success.
Speaker 2: So you can pick one more if you want to
do it to another one.
Speaker 9: Okay, whatever is the next most dangerous?
Speaker 2: Oh that's such a tough question. I'll go with the
most health is that? Okay? Okay? So then the one
across from Stalker. So these two in the like on
either side of Constantine. Okay, yeah, all right, okay, that
sounds good. What happens here?
Speaker 9: What happens here is I focus on the one that's
between Fen and constantine, and like I said before, I
call to its bones and I command them to unknit
And what happens there is it's it's like the bones
also continue to rattle, but rattle in a different way,
maybe in like a more jerky way, and the bones
heave and shift and then start to reform, and spikes
grow out of them and rip through the creature's flesh
until it looks like they all are like a pincushion.
It's like the bones just irrupt from the body and
it doesn't maybe even changes the shape of their limbs too,
because everything is just twisting. And maybe that power, if
it can affect the other creature it's spreads. Maybe by
doing this, I realize that there's enough room to push
it onto something else. And so I just let the
magic push onto the other creature and the same thing happens.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I think you might feel a nudge
too from Yishna that is kind of like, oh, hey,
you know you can do more than this. You don't
have to just leave it to the one, you know,
why not slide it over to this one too. And
he's clearly getting some sort of glee from what you
are doing to these creatures. Specifically, he's very much enjoying
watching you do this. So okay, fucking crazy all right.
Speaker 9: Now My question is by doing that, does it disrupt
the bones enough to impact them?
Speaker 12: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Absolutely, you've done damage, but also they're going to continue
to take damage like normal for this next round when
the howl wears off for the other two. Okay, so
you've effectively allowed them to hit this thing and it'll
do true damage rather than the standard. And you also
did damage to it and you can see all of that.
You're like, holy shit, you know, okay, and it feels good. Hm,
oh boy, all right, gunner, you're.
Speaker 9: Up just dumb.
Speaker 11: After I strike this thing, I just stare at it
and thinking, like, what is it going to take to
kill one of these things?
Speaker 2: It looks pretty fucked up. It looks like it's like,
you know, the bones rattle and kind of dance on
the ground as they try to reconnect themselves.
Speaker 11: I also think that by striking the car down with
such force, I destroyed it, so I'm not using any
more of car today. But I think that if it's
like staggered, yeah, I would just like spear him and
try to like tackle it down and like haammer, fist
it just in the in the face, like as like
viciously and chaotically.
Speaker 8: As I can.
Speaker 2: Okay, go ahead and roll body. Okay, Oh wait, did
I miss my turn? I think I missed my turn
to attack. But that's okay. I will attack after you.
I will attack after you.
Speaker 8: Okay fifty mm.
Speaker 2: Yes, because technically they're still reverberated and I don't mind
doing that, because that's fine. This has been a crazy
cool fight. Ooh failure doubles. Oh god. Okay, so what
happens here? It's not the worst role you could get,
but it's pretty bad.
Speaker 8: I think.
Speaker 11: I think it might Would it depend on your attack
or would I just completely miss him? I think I
tried to tackle it then.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think if it were like a ninety nine
or a one hundred, you would take damage. But I
don't think you're going to now, so it can be.
You can just take control of the narrative and I'll
do my attack accordingly afterward. So it's whatever you mess
happens here.
Speaker 11: Okay, maybe I spear him and I tackle it to
the ground and on on top of it, but as
I lift up, it's like holding.
Speaker 8: My arms or something like that.
Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, and like preventing me from actually rating the
fist down like I wanted to. Yeah, but we're just
like locked eyes, just holding my arms with its arms.
Speaker 2: Yeah okay, so then, yeah, if it's going to restrain you,
then the way that it would do it probably is
you see it on the ground. Its bones are rattling,
dancing along the pavement as it's trying to reconnect itself
very quickly as it knows you're going to come down
and attack it again. But then all of a sudden,
you see just the arms from the elbow up snap
together finally and lift up, and then they make a
gesture with their hands suddenly going into like a gripping
like claws, and then you can't move your hands, like
you're stuck. They don't actually touch you, but they do
it with their own like you find your hands are
doing the same gesture and you can't move and you're
locked in place as long as they've got their arms
in place. And I love that, by the way. I
think that's great. And I do think because it's doubles,
you know, something crazy bad happens sort of we're not
good advantageous for you, So I do think that you'll
be at a disadvantage for the next attack because they've
you know, it's seized your hands here unless you choose
to do something else, like if you choose to do
something with your hands, then you'll be at the disadvantage. Okay,
now I will attack, So you're gonna go ahead and
roll Gunner. You'll be at a disadvantage to get out
of the way. Probably, I'm so sorry. Then h and
constantine twice. Oh, you can roll a magical dodge or
a body dodge. Everybody that I called.
Speaker 5: Out, what's the difficulty? Sixty youse have or forty?
Speaker 8: I forget?
Speaker 2: Uh, well, I think this is the round for the
reverberation still, so I think they yeah, so your difficulty
is sixty for now, but then when they are done reverberating,
they'll go back. O god, yes, yep, success, So sixty. Yes,
that's correct, Oh my god god. Okay, okay, hold on,
we got to go in order here, and I think
we're gonna stay with Gunner since this was just happening here.
So it's it seizes up and then your hands sees up.
But then what do you do to just like stop
that from happening, do you like, because I'm imagining that
it it does this, your hand sees up and then
you just go oh fuck no and you rip out
of it. And then it's bones just fucking clatter to
the ground like you've just broken out of its hold
on you. But you can do whatever you like because
it is an otherworldly success.
Speaker 11: No.
Speaker 8: I like that, Yeah, I like flipping it on it
on back to him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, where you're just like and you yeah. And then
all of a sudden, it's bones just like clatter and
shatter apart down on the ground like it's going to
have to recover. It's now taking your uh disadvantage for
this next round. It's now it now has it? Okay,
and then then what does yours look like?
Speaker 12: I what was that role for?
Speaker 2: Sorry, it's attacking you, attacking me, and you get out
of the wane.
Speaker 14: Okay, I'm holding it, I think down on the ground,
and he lunges at me and I moved my head
to the side. It's not as specially as regular success.
So he just misses me, and I smile even more
and I continue to just.
Speaker 6: Eat.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, Constantine, I only see the one that you
have both of them attacking you. I'm so sorry.
Speaker 10: Okay, oh right, sorry, um.
Speaker 9: Still sixty.
Speaker 2: Okay, I can't well, I can't.
Speaker 12: What the fuck?
Speaker 2: Dude? All right, all right, all right, you got to
worldly success is what happens.
Speaker 10: Can I propose something?
Speaker 8: Yes?
Speaker 11: Yes?
Speaker 2: Absolutely? Holy shit, dude.
Speaker 13: So I'm still holding onto this one, right, yeah, I
would like to without looking at the other one that
is attacking me. So first of all, I'm holding onto it,
and yeah, it might be trying to attack you, but
I I would like to simultaneously reach out grab the
other one by its jaw and then like I don't
have this ability, but I kind of you don't. I
want to grab them both and then just speed so
fast that you can't see me, like to the other
side of the street with them. Yes, I want to
take them with me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you can do that, okay, because vampires absolutely
have that kind of speed. So I think maybe you're like,
you try to go to move and you realize that
this is just very easy for you to do this
as you bring them with you. You grab both of
them by the chin and bring them with you. So
take them across the down the way. If you can't
move them, I will yeah, I will bring them down
with you. Yep. Okay, thank you, there you go.
Speaker 10: Awesome.
Speaker 2: Okay, and that was it for my turn. Okay, now
we're back to normal, which is Esteban.
Speaker 12: Can we see them now?
Speaker 2: Nope?
Speaker 12: Okay, you scare them though, but so two of them,
just like, I don't know that two of them are gone?
Speaker 2: That is Correctine left, I mean Constantine maybe has his hands.
Speaker 11: Up using the shadow to show where they are though.
Speaker 12: Yeah, the shadows those weren't them.
Speaker 2: Those weren't the two shadow ones he had.
Speaker 12: But that's okay because is this one the gunners just
battering and then the one next to the fucking werewolf?
So okay, I'm gonna do some magic bullshit.
Speaker 2: Yes, you are my second favorite phrase. I want to
try something and I want to do some magic bullshit.
Let's go.
Speaker 12: Tell you what it is? Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh.
Speaker 5: So I'm considerate.
Speaker 12: Okay, I want to do something. It's only going to
happen if I succeed. Yep. And it's and it's and
it's it's really in response to the side of this
fucking werewolf there, like, it's the only reason this would happen.
It's not even a reflex thing. Okay, like to the
point where if this I have, this has to be
magic or it doesn't happen.
Speaker 2: Okay, got it.
Speaker 12: So so now just for a point of fact, if
it is between twenty and my uh my eh skill, yeah,
it's a partial success then, but but it doesn't happen. Okay, yeah, okay, because.
Speaker 2: You said very clearly it's it's.
Speaker 12: Got it, it's gotta be yeah, okay, yep, yeah, because
I'm pretty I'm pretty fucked up that there's a were
wolf here now, yeah, I bet, And it's clearly a.
Speaker 2: Were wolf, not absolutely, there is no doubt in your mind.
It's like you take two seconds to look at him.
This is this is the enemy. I tried to say
it without using that term.
Speaker 12: Did you hear that?
Speaker 2: I was like, I don't know if you guys know
what I'm saying. Ye, no failure, just stand there gobsmacked.
Yeah yeah, okay, that makes sense? All right, Finn? What
are you doing?
Speaker 5: I would like to try? This is like, not do that.
I try some real special bullshit if I.
Speaker 2: Can, absolutely, would you like to try?
Speaker 14: I want to cowl so loud at this fucking thing
that is pinned against me, that it just I want
a Godzilla breath.
Speaker 5: This thing is what I want to do.
Speaker 8: Yep.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 12: Is that dying yep?
Speaker 2: So your class actually allows you to roll a body
instead of dying, so you can use either I'm going
to do body yep, because it's a good it's a
good stat for you.
Speaker 8: Uh huh.
Speaker 5: And what is difficulty now?
Speaker 2: So they're technically no longer reverberated. Yes, so you're going
to be at And those two are the ones that
Cora did her damage to, so this one is going
to be back to forty Okay, failure, Okay, it was
a good try though, it was a good attempt. But
I will say that this would absolutely work if you
if you tried that. The sound and the entanglement bullshit
that Kora is doing, those are very very highly effective
things on these creatures. So gig all right, Stalker, you're up.
Speaker 7: What do you do?
Speaker 2: Constant has responded with your lunch.
Speaker 8: Well, I am.
Speaker 7: My last turn. I was observing and I think that well,
I didn't glean anything that helped me learn any weaknesses.
I have noticed that we are winning this fight, and
I am hm also noticing some strange things happening with
my companions I studied. I'm assuming I can tell that
Cora is the one doing these magical spells that are
causing their bones to explode and break and things like that.
Speaker 12: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean that's that's also why you picked her for
her occult knowledge. She is she's a spellcaster. Yeah. I
wouldn't think that that would be unusual, right, because you
know that she does that, that's what she does. But yes,
it is her.
Speaker 7: Okay, So I don't think it's strange that she's this powerful.
Speaker 2: I don't know, you don't know her.
Speaker 7: Watching her for weeks.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but this is the first time you've seen her
do a spell.
Speaker 8: Right.
Speaker 2: You only watched her for one week before you you know,
before you guys went into the crypt, right Ryan. Yeah,
I gotta be honest with you. I think it would
just be like, oh, shit is hitting the fan and
she is using her magic. I don't know if you
would think that it was weird.
Speaker 11: Uh.
Speaker 7: Then my focus would be on the werewolf.
Speaker 12: Yeah, and.
Speaker 7: I would spend my turn, I guess studying him. I
would just watch him.
Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, are you trying to gain anything from this
or when you watch her?
Speaker 12: I guess so, I you don't have to.
Speaker 2: I'm just wondering, like, I just don't want you to,
you know, spend a turn just narratively watching and not
do anything. I want to give you the opportunity to
gain something from that if you want that. But if
you don't, that's okay too. I don't want you to feel,
you know, strong armed into that.
Speaker 7: But yeah, I'm just trying to This isn't where I
thought my turn was going to go, so I'm trying
to decide. I yes, I'm just yeah, I'm imagining when
this is over, how do I deal with this creature?
Speaker 2: Okay, So, so are you looking for weaknesses? You're like
studying him as if you're going to fight him? Yes, yeah, okay,
all right, you're going to roll? Then this is interesting
because I think you can use your eyeballs here, or
you could try to do some magic sense. It'll be
easier if you use your eyeballs. But it's going to
be you know, like looking at your eyeballs you know
what you see, versus maybe some sort of magical sense,
but it's up to you. Both are possible. One is
just easier than the other.
Speaker 7: Well, I when Donker fights, he I think he relies
on magic just as much as he does his body.
One is to set things up and the other is
to sort of finish the job. I think magic makes
more sense here. Okay, so I'm going to do that,
ye difficulty.
Speaker 2: So that's a thirty difficulty for the magic one versus
your eyeballs.
Speaker 5: A failure.
Speaker 2: So I don't know how this, I mean, how you
want to play this, but essentially, you know, you're I
don't know, maybe you're just watching him in awe or
taking it in, but I think it's just simply you
don't see a very visible weakness and none comes to mind.
All right, yeah, okay, Constantine, you were up yeah.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 13: So I'm holding both of them, ye, still in a
vice like grip, and I'm going to look at them again.
Speaker 10: And I feel this darkened rage filling me to the brim.
Speaker 11: It's like.
Speaker 13: The level at which I can feel pleasure and love
and joy, all of those things can be met with
the same extreme and sadness and rage and jealousy and bitterness.
And right now I am letting that consume me. And
I'm going to look at them and say, where.
Speaker 2: Are you from?
Speaker 10: And what do you want?
Speaker 2: Okay, you're going to try to speak to them again. Okay,
go ahead and roll h if you try to do
if you try to use this ability on both of
them at the same time, I'm fine for flavor, but
it'll obviously be a lot more difficult than if you
just picked one.
Speaker 10: I'll do one. So I'll do the one that had
like the eyes flare at me already.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, so again now though they're no longer oh no,
these ones are reverberating still from Korra. So you are lucky.
So this will be a sixty for you.
Speaker 10: Okay, difficult. I really want to know.
Speaker 2: Well, no, you're communicating. I'm so sorry, you're not doing
damage to them. So this is still going to be
like a I would say normally a thirty, but will
bump in ten for the shift from Korra. Okay, so
I will say forty. My god, okay, so again, same
thing where the embers light up a little bit and
then abscond away.
Speaker 10: I would uh, I would then.
Speaker 13: If I would then like to in my rage, since
it's been building and they are giving me nothing and
this is horrifying now and I've just let it out,
I would like to uh throw them back to uh
fend the werewolve. Yeah, I would like to throw them
at him.
Speaker 2: You already did something this turn.
Speaker 10: So I just checking. Yep, yeah, if I could get
away with it.
Speaker 2: Yeah no no, unfortunately, look good, Okay, your things so there,
they are going to be uh here with you, and
it is now my turn, so I'm gonna I am
gonna go ahead and do that, and you are gonna
need to roll twice to defend. And now the reverberation
is off for no no, no, still here until Kora's
next turn. So yeah, you need to roll under a sixty.
I think we were saying sixty is your difficulty while
they're reverberated. Okay, wow, incredible, Okay, okay, so you otherworldly
success dodge the first one. The second one you dodge,
which means you're actually only taking one damage instead of
the two that it normally does. So one of them
hits you. Okay, cool, Okay, So I think anybody who's
looking at Constantine would see that, you know, he's dealing
with two of these things. One like goes to swipe
at him, and he like, I don't know, do you
just do?
Speaker 11: You?
Speaker 7: Just like move?
Speaker 2: Interview the Vampire sell where it's like yeah, yeah, okay,
So it moves very quickly, he's just like standing and
then he's somewhere else, but and he just happens to
be standing where this other one strikes. And the thing
with these anybody watching this, you can see that they
these two things are working kind of like in unison.
They're not their own entity. So it was almost like
this thing moved to attack Constantine, and when Constantine dodged
out of the way, it's like, oh, I did it
so that he would dodge so that you could strike him.
So it looked like that. It's not that two separate
entities are attacking. They're working in unison. All of these
creatures are okay, Fenn, you go ahead and roll for
me and Gunner you roll to defend to You can
do body or magic, either one.
Speaker 5: And you said forty or sixty.
Speaker 2: Yours is now, unfortunately forty because the reverberation on these
guys are over failure yep. Okay, so this one's gonna
knock you for two damage. Mine difficulty yep is the
same forty forty yep, oh god, okay, you will also
take to damage. Then here as this thing strikes you
Now this is gonna it's doing a different ability now
because it can't do its bone thing.
Speaker 12: Oh my god.
Speaker 2: Okay, your skin is going to ignite and it's going
to burn you, and you can choose where this happens,
where this signites. But it is going to give you
some some burns obviously your vampires, so you'll heal, but
it fucking hurts. It's smart. Same thing for you, Fenn,
I will say. Fenn looks really fucked up. Then looks like,
you know, he's having a great time. He looks very happy,
but he's looks very bloody.
Speaker 8: For Fenn.
Speaker 5: For me, it's.
Speaker 2: It's oh, I'm so sorry to interrupt you. Please type exclamation.
Oh did it happen already? I'm so sorry. I just
saw it. You have sixty seconds to type when somebody
gives that stuff away, and somebody was giving away a
membership to the table story, so I'm so sorry. Go ahead, Finn.
Speaker 12: It's going to leak.
Speaker 14: It's the back of his head. So the fire goes
through his face and it's the back of his head.
Now it looks like he has very painful but badass
mane of fire. That's just and he's oh wow, kind
of unfazed, so I'm focused, yeah, wailing yep.
Speaker 2: Okay, oh boy, gunner, you're also feeling it quite a
bit as this thing uh lights you up? Where does it?
Where does it burn you?
Speaker 8: I think it wants to attack my hands again.
Speaker 12: Yeah, and uh.
Speaker 11: You might even see my My whole hand's just engulf
and like shoot up my arms for a moment or
however long.
Speaker 8: The attack class.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, holy shit, okay, yeah, your hands light up,
it burns you. And then the skeletal creature, even though
it's like so fucked up and its arms are you know,
detached on the ground, the bones like fallen and out
of place, and it's kind of like crouched by this
car that you have smashed down on top of it.
It's like leaning up against it, using it, and it
even though it doesn't have skin, even though it's not
what you're used to looking at, you can tell that
this thing is really really fucked up. And if it
were wheezing, it would be wheezing, like you can see
the way that it's moving. It's just like it's just
an echo of what a human body might be like.
And so you can tell you I've seen this a
thousand times. This thing is like on Death's door, but
it still looks at you and laughs when your hands
light up on fire. And that is where we end
today's episode.
Speaker 12: I was only kidding when I said that I had
the move thing ready for when Fen dies.
Speaker 5: That I mean I haven't ready, but that was a joke.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm I'm oh boy. You've been listening to Deathless,
