without further ado, we've spent enough time waiting for Scar
to get here. Don't worry. He's gonna get chastised enough,
I promise. But before we get to that, we'll do
our usual go around the table, tell us who you are,
who you're playing, and why you're disappointed in Scar this week,
and yeah we'll go from there. So, Aaron, you're the
only one who's out muted, so you can go first.
Speaker 3: All right, Yeah, it's me Eric today. I'll be playing.
Speaker 4: Jacques Millard aka FOD. I'm pretty excited about that. I
have no idea where we are because I was not
here last session.
Speaker 2: Oh that's right, Yeah, yeah, okay.
Speaker 4: But this week I'm disappointeding Scar because he directed, produce,
and wrote the live action Avatar the Last Airbender series.
Speaker 3: On Netflix and it was awful. It was. It's so bad.
Speaker 4: But but Yea made it up because he also broke
her to deal between old al Passo and Pizza Pops,
and so they have old Alzozza Pops and I've eaten
like four of them today, so it's kind of a wash.
Speaker 3: I still like him.
Speaker 2: I don't know half what you said, but I'm sure
it's his fault. So y, I'm a little scared of
what I heard from him. That I'd be disappointed too.
Scar's not here, folks. We don't know why. We don't
know how. As I always say, he'd better be dead
because there's no reason why he shouldn't be here. So
my guess is he probably fell asleep because we're bombarding
him with the messages here on Discord and he refuses.
Maybe we need to get his real life numbers so
we can actually like call him and text him. Maybe
talks that man right now?
Speaker 5: Get his wife on it. Hey, can you get him
to come to the computer. We just need to yell
at him a little bit.
Speaker 2: Aaron sent me a friend request on Facebook. I need
more of those sweet nice that brings me up to
like four bro.
Speaker 5: Going up in the world.
Speaker 2: Yeah, thirteen years four friends. That's pretty good. Four years.
All right, Sean, who are you?
Speaker 6: I'm Sean and I'm going to be playing as always
overly Franklin Nichols Vault Homeless electric made who's now covered
in body armor, so maybe he won't die.
Speaker 3: Disappointed in Scar.
Speaker 5: You know, I stupped my toe today and I'm pretty
sure it was Scar's fault, So there you go.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, that's uh. I don't know what to tell
you about that man, but definitely his fault. Yeah, okay, Well,
we're happy to have you, and I'm excited to see
where the end of this adventure leads us. So yeah, wonderful,
all right, and then we've got our GM Adam.
Speaker 7: That's me, Hi, I'm Adam. I'm gonna be playing everybody
that these guys aren't playing. Uh, let's see. Uh Scar.
I'm disappointed in Scar because I sent him some very
tasteful to photographs and have not heard back from him yet.
That may have something to do with why is out here,
may not, I don't know. Very tasteful the lighting, the
lighting is very good and it I put a lot
of effort into it, and I'm just hoping to get
his feedback.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 7: Look, look, okay, I'm just you know, I'm disappointed because
I thought we were cool and he's not not liking
my posts on anything anyway.
Speaker 2: Well maybe that Aaron guy, I'll send you a friend
request that'll make you feel better.
Speaker 7: Oh hey, hey, I know that guy. Uh So, yeah,
let's see what have I been up to this week? Huh?
I don't know. My daughter was staying at grandma's house
for a couple of days. So I got to do
this crazy thing I've heard. I've heard of people doing this.
I haven't tried it in a long time. I slept
in today. It was awesome. It was awesome. I woke
up at like goddamn seven thirty in the morning like
a decadent king. It was amazing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, sleeping into you. Oh yeah, I'm in the wrong
line of work. Man.
Speaker 7: That's three hours on top of my normal So it
was beautiful.
Speaker 2: Wake me up. You wake me up at seven thirty
in the morning, you better be either on fire or arm. Yeah, so,
beautiful woman, yes, or any combination of the two.
Speaker 7: Say we're both. So, let's see I I did that.
That was cool. I finally recorded a promo for this show.
Mo so uh, that'll probably start popping up on some
other very kind shadow run people's podcasts. I'm gonna try
to talk to some people that don't do shadow run
stuff and get it out there so that we're hitting
some new audience people, which would be cool. So keep
an ear out for that. You'll be able to find
us on whatever podcast that you love. And if you don't,
tell me what podcasts you love, and I will tell
them to do it and hopefully they will respond with
the taste will photographs that I sent to them along
with that request.
Speaker 2: Hey, then that reminds me, do you do you want
to send me that and I can put it on
the Facebook page.
Speaker 7: Oh, hell yeah, I'll do that after we're done here.
Also joining us today, I got a special special friend
that happened to be available at the right time, and
I am very very pleased to have you on the show, Chuck,
Why don't you say hi?
Speaker 2: Hi? All right, contractual obligation for Phil Bye. Guys. All right,
so I'm joh those of you who follow the Pink
Foux Hawk discord, which, by the way, you are thinking
about giving your promo to those guys, right?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 7: Absolutely, of course?
Speaker 2: Okay, cool because they deserve it. Those of you who
follow the Pink Fax Hawk Discord Nobody's Byronic Commando, you
also are probably where that I'm part of as the
Sixth World turns, which nice for starters. It's a nice
little retro active callback to when you just kind of
threw away joke tossed that during somebody's game. I can't remember.
It's like episode six or seven. They're like, you're just
sitting there watching TV start to fall asleep as the
Sixth World Turns is on, and I'm like, that's the
name of the show that I'm doing with my guys, Like,
oh my god, that's amazing. And that was when we
went public. So yeah, like we're on to episode seven
pretty soon here, which will look like episode four to
the rest of y'all because we're a bunch of amateurs
and we're still trying to get this whole recording thing right.
And you are considering giving your promo to us too,
because we.
Speaker 7: Love it, of course absolutely, and as soon as you
guys have one, send it to me and I will
do what it can with it.
Speaker 2: Well, i think they're trying to leave the recording of
that to me, and I'm just like, give me some
scripts and I'd love to. I'd love to do it
for you. And I guess maybe I need to start
writing my own huh. You know, get the ball rolling
in that direction, so to speak.
Speaker 7: Amen, roll away and.
Speaker 2: Chuck, just be sure after the show send me your
whatever links you guys want me to put for any
social media or anything, and I'll put it in the
in the show notes. As they say in the biz,
what what what edition are you guys playing?
Speaker 3: So?
Speaker 2: Uh? As the sixth World Turns is second edition, so
you know we're kicking it old school. Uh, we like
it more because it's it's more punk, you know, like
there's nothing wrong with the steam, the streamlining that you
get with the season, you know, fifth edition, sixth edition,
fourth edition even, but second second feels just crunchy, just
gritty enough, really does feel like you're watching an eighty
sci fi movie. Like, Adam, I know you've been requesting
I watch certain movies to try to get myself lined
up for all of this, And I'm like, yeah, I
can see why you requested that, and I see why
you recommended that, and yeah, I've seen that one already,
and like you and I go back and forth with
movie references.
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, dude, Oh yeah, it's beautiful.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's beautiful. We are we are brothers from different mothers.
I will say that. Well, we are happy to have
you here, Chuck. Thank you for joining us so last
minute here. And what is it about Scar that you're
disappointed in? Absolutely nothing. If Scar actually answered his goddamn phone,
I would not be here right now, would I? But no, here,
i am recording with Dragons Greed. I'm getting to play
another game with Adam. I get to play with you, guys.
I am not disappointed in Scar at all. Hey, Scar,
stay asleep, let me stay here. I'll you're more than
happy to fill in for you for the rest of
the season. All right, Well that's good. Uh and uh
well I am your host, a great, unclean one as usual.
I will be playing a Thrac better known by his
street name Knuckles, the Orc biker bouncer dude who loves explosions.
And uh yeah, finally getting to use the weapons on
the bike, which has been pretty rad. Driving through the
fucking hallways been pretty cool? And well what else? Played
some more Warhammer today with Travis our Ogre Kingdoms and
Chaos Horde continuing to battle it out. Finally got a
w up on the board for the ogres today, so
that was pretty exciting and almost done with Doom twenty sixteen.
I got one level left to go through, got another
model painted for adept to Coon. This month, I finished
up Burke from Aliens, and I just hosted in our
Warhammer chat channel. Here guys, a picture of somebody who
made a thirty six man Brittonian lance with a custom
movement tray that looks like it's probably a foot and
a half.
Speaker 3: Long, which hilarious.
Speaker 2: Look at look at shit, it's ridiculous. Oh my flying
v that's wild man. So yeah, if I saw that
on Facebook, I just had to take a picture. That
was hilarious. That's amazing. You are essentially speaking a foreign
language to me at this point. I have zero experience
and knowledge with Warhammer or Hordy Gang. Oh I'm I'm sorry,
I'm sorry. Yeah. Well, I'm disappointed in Scar because you
don't know anything about Warhammer, Scar because he's not on
the fucking show that he promised to be on. And
I'm disappointed in Scar because of global warming. So guy's
got a lot to make up for.
Speaker 7: Man, we had that we had that day, that day.
Speaker 2: Oh wait, you know you know what else? You know
what else? I'm disappointed scaring. He plays fucking Ages Sigma.
That's what I'm in. Oh at least he plays Skavin.
But yeah, anyway, Uh, let's uh, let's dive in here.
So Adam take it away. Giver and I guess gave
in a quick synopsis of what we had done last week.
Speaker 7: I'm gonna honor. I'm gonna pass that honor onto to
you because I gotta tell you, man that that fifteen
percent beer I had last week, I don't remember what happened.
Speaker 2: Okay, that's fair. Well, luckily I just finished editing, uh
because I had a lot of editing to do this week,
so and I was a little bit delayed. So anyway,
so Aaron and listeners, we had gotten all of our
sweet gear from our list that we gave mister Johnson,
including ship tons of body armor, riot shields and shade
filled explosives, bullets and other nonsense. We decked out the
bike with some more armor and everybody got gas masks.
Set me. I had sound cool and we also got
the sound filters in case we deal with the bar
guys and then we began our infiltration, and by infiltration,
I mean kicking down the front door of gor to
tease out there.
Speaker 7: You go. That's exactly the right way to say it.
Speaker 3: I love it.
Speaker 2: So Sarah did her man of barrier ramps so I
could try to ramp through up onto I think it
was the third floor, and then you guys took the skybridge.
That being you, Mantis and Magic Hobo Vault. The three
of you stormed the skybridge. We decided not to deal
with the whole put shade in the vent systems, and
instead just went in and decided to just rush the
two places we thought we might find Sarah's husband, Howard. Unfortunately, I,
even with pre edging and rolling like fifteen dice, I
didn't roll single goddamn six and I did not pass
my my fucking ride test, So I crashed. I kind
of missed time the jump and crashing through the wall
on the second floor, which was cool, got up, dusted off,
you know whatever, still looked cool. I mean, you're in
the building now, right, That's all. So then you guys
went to his lab. Sarah and I hopped back on
the bike and went up to the third floor, and
then fucked up a security guard's day, real bad. With
the the fucking ak mountain on the bike, we got
to our two destinations. Howard was not at either place.
He wasn't in his dorm, he wasn't in his lab.
And then I don't recall how, but somehow we discovered
there was like a security elevator. Someone went down to
a new floor sub basement that our new hacker hold on.
I'm trying to remember his name, don't give me hints.
It was named as an American Glady turbo laser. That's
a turbo laser.
Speaker 5: American gladiators, remember that.
Speaker 2: I'm about to say it. I'm a turbo like the
fucking American Gladiator. So turbo laser. He did not. He
did not get that figured out for us. But that's okay,
because he did. He did pretty well all things considered.
So we found a sub level and we all met
back up. Sarah and I are still on the bike
and you three are on on foot, and really the
only thing we dealt with was the one security guard
and then we you know, knocked a bunch of people
down when fucking papers went flying and interrupted a conference room.
But other than that, so we're in this new sub
level and that's what you see on screen. It's fucking trippy,
it's retro, it's it's eighties, and it's a very nice
it's also a very nice, uh demonstration of how you
do perspective drawing. So whoever did that very well done and.
Speaker 7: That's what really job than you?
Speaker 5: Yeah, ai R, that's that's.
Speaker 2: A I like, I feel like I'm looking at a
like the behind the scenes of a synth wave music video,
like a nightclub. Yeah. So anyway, so honestly, you did
not miss a whole lot. We spent a lot of
time planning and then a lot of time sucking up
that security guard. So yeah, he fucking tripped to all hell.
It was awesome.
Speaker 7: How did you guys? How did you guys get across
the bridge? I don't remember exactly. I remember something about
the door exploding, but what was it?
Speaker 2: I think mantis exploding arrow.
Speaker 3: There you go.
Speaker 7: I'm like, I'm flowing up.
Speaker 3: Damage.
Speaker 7: But yeah, okay, he's not so so I think we're ready.
Is everybody ready?
Speaker 8: Just a reminder, Mantis and knuckles both have increased reflexes.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeahative, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, all right.
Speaker 8: That's being maintained by my fucking spirit, so I don't
even have to deal with that.
Speaker 7: Hell yeah, all right, here we go. Let's go. So
you guys are in the basement. It's got cool Neon
type lights. It's like a like a light blue, purples, pinks,
and it's cold down here, not terribly cold, but cold.
It's like uh uh for you American types, I'm gonna say,
it's like a cool like sixty degrees down here, right,
so not here, it's quiet. The only thing you hear
is like the buzzing of the lights, the overhead lights.
Long hallway branches off both directions. Surprisingly, few guards have
shown up so far, just the one up there, right,
So you head in. You've got your Boston Terror your
you're elect tronic magic Electro Boston Terrier. Uh that was
able to guide you in the direction of where Howard
Murr was, so you know which way to go. Thanks,
you guys, start heading down in that direction.
Speaker 5: Can we try sneaking?
Speaker 3: Guys?
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm on a motorcycle.
Speaker 5: So now you bought it down the elevator.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm not gonna leave it upstairs for some jerk
to steal. We'll just walk it then, come on, it's
a service element. No, I got a sweet elf chick
on the back.
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna do that.
Speaker 2: Well, they walk her too, Mary.
Speaker 3: Watching.
Speaker 7: I want to look cool, all right. So you guys
are bickering over how you're gonna proceed, that's when it happens.
Speaker 2: You know we're down. They know we're down here, Sean.
Speaker 3: Let's be honest.
Speaker 7: You hear you hear from behind you a loud snap noise. Automatically,
you guys, automatically pass your test because I don't feel
like making any test for it. You hear the snap
you know, bolts sliding into place. You're locked in your door,
slide open ahead of you. Everybody make a perception roll
now to see if you hear the thing that happens,
So chuck. If you in your character sheet, there's tabs
across the top. There's one that says skills. If you
scroll down, you should be able to find perception on there.
Speaker 2: Gymnastics yep, And then there's.
Speaker 7: A like it looks like a D twenty all the
way over on the right side. Ye Click on that,
bad boy, and we'll pop your test in there.
Speaker 2: Roll that beautiful. That's a good reference there, I like that.
Speaker 7: Dude, I think that every time somebody says to roll stuff,
I can't help. This guy lives inside my head.
Speaker 2: You get out of my head, man, right.
Speaker 7: All right, So here's the deal. I don't know if
I mentioned this here or somewhere else, but I've adapted
a house rule and it will be known as the
public enemy rule, and that is tie goes to the runner.
So in this case, Knuckles, you're too distracted by trying
to look cool and yeah, so you don't hear this thing,
but you other dudes hear a door slide open out ahead,
and then you hear a very gentle noise of something
walking towards you. Lambs, you can tell.
Speaker 2: Mantis will begin using his human hands to slowly start
drawing at least one blade.
Speaker 7: Okay, I will it slides out with it with a nice.
Speaker 3: Sh I'm.
Speaker 4: O a e machine pistol and holster my my.
Speaker 3: My regular pistol.
Speaker 5: Okay, I slide out of like a little holster my
ballbeam hammer.
Speaker 2: I got a special.
Speaker 8: Holster right for it, all.
Speaker 5: Right, quick drive shoots down my arm.
Speaker 7: Yeah, sweet, you you got the special tactical carpenter's jeans.
They've got the little hammer loop on the side.
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, great, Yeah, do we see anything or.
Speaker 5: We just hear it? You hear it before you see it, okay.
Speaker 7: Okay, sure, yeah yeah. So you you're you're firing up
your astral perception and you can see down this cord
or uh, there's there's no like light or anything with
the astral perception, so it's kind of weird and there's
no like like you get no real background vibes. There's
not really a lot a lot of like emotion that's
burned into this place. But you see like a oh man,
it's it's something gross coming towards you from that hall.
Like it comes around the court and you see like
it's like a like a ripple coming of of like
the ambient energy diminishing as this thing is approaching.
Speaker 2: Don't trolls have night vision?
Speaker 7: Uh you got a thermograph?
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, I got thermographic fission.
Speaker 7: Yeah. It's not cure yet though, it's it's obscured by
like the wall, so you can't like see it. Okay,
but the but the but the energy coming off of
this thing is visible on the astral So I'm gonna
remember how because I just came from playing on foundry.
How do you make initiative happen?
Speaker 2: Uh, I'll tell you it's not it's not h intuitive.
Speaker 7: It's it's not that bad. It's just, you know, I
came from doing the other thing. Uh. So there we
go turn order there. Uh, you guys, go ahead and
drag your tokens out and add them to the initiative tracker.
Speaker 2: Well, pull that one back out tracker.
Speaker 7: Okay, So you drag your dude out onto the map.
There you go, click on him once, and then in
your character sheet on the main tab on the right
hand side, you'll see your initiatives there.
Speaker 5: Uh, you've got currently Chris, how does it feel like?
Speaker 2: God? Forty?
Speaker 7: Oh my god? All right, so Manta says, uh, what
does he have currently? It's plus? Uh?
Speaker 2: I think he Chris, I had forty six? He had three?
Speaker 5: Yeah, it should it should still be in his sheet.
He should never raise it for any fucking reason.
Speaker 2: If he did, that's another reason I'm disappointed.
Speaker 5: That would be actually a reason I'm disappointed.
Speaker 2: So all I gotta do is just to click that
d T one.
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, physical intive.
Speaker 7: No, it's okay.
Speaker 4: If you go over to the to the right where
it says like a number D six. That number should
be three D six.
Speaker 5: It should be one plus the three D six I
gave him, so it could be.
Speaker 3: So forty six. Yeah, okay, So.
Speaker 2: Should mine be five D six?
Speaker 8: Then if I gave you four, then he would have
gotten three. But we definitely put it in the I
put it in the fucking chat.
Speaker 2: But I have well, I physically remember you said the
number four, so I don't know if that.
Speaker 8: Was so, then I was probably telling you your total
is four and his total would be three.
Speaker 2: D yeah, okay, okay, yeah, so seven plus four then yeah.
Speaker 7: Yeah, seven plus forty six. So we hit that button again,
and it'll give you a better initiative cure.
Speaker 5: You go much better, all right, sue me.
Speaker 7: I do like to live there, So let's see where's
the sky. Here we go, pop that out, move that
over to the other screen. There we go, There we go.
Let's get some initiative on there and blam, oh cheventeine
for this thing. Don't worry about what that is. Don't
pretend you don't see what's on there. Uh, So you're
up first knuckles. You have no clue what's going on,
so you're you gotta make a a intuition and reaction role.
It's a surprise test on your attribute roles. You need
three hits to not be surprised.
Speaker 2: Which one was it? Intuition and it.
Speaker 7: Says surprise on the underneath attribute.
Speaker 2: Oh, there we go, see.
Speaker 7: A four, so you're not surprised. You get deacked.
Speaker 2: All right. So I stopped doing donuts and I realize
everybody's being serious. I'm like, oh, and then I will
I will look in whichever direction the rest of the
group is looking. Okay, yeah, it's away nucks.
Speaker 4: Yeah, downing the engine, I mean, yeah, we smashed through
a wall with a goddamn motorcycle flying through the air.
Speaker 2: Okay, three stories up at least, man, and not to
mention the exploding arrow to puck and break down the
doors and the alarms. Do I need to recall the
alarms and the lights and everything. Yeah, So there's there's
I don't see anything at the end of the hall, not.
Speaker 7: Yeah, but uh and you've got you don't know it's coming.
Speaker 2: But uh, well, so I'll look down the hall. Everybody
else's what and like look to everybody else, like, what
are we doing? Something's coming. I just slowly start pointing
the tip of the sword towards the direction the sound
was coming from. Can I be prepared to open fire
if something comes around the corner? Where's that thing in
this game?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 7: You start aiming? Uh yeah, yeah, you know what. We're
gonna just aim.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 7: You can do two aims and then you'll get plus
two dice or you're also I found out you're also
able to instead boost your limit instead of so like
you have a like the accuracy limit on your gun,
you could as an aim action you have the choice
either add a die to your pool or increase your
limit by one.
Speaker 2: He don't know if that going to aim yeah.
Speaker 7: For extra dice is probably better. Go yep, got it? Yep?
Speaker 2: Track yeah, yep.
Speaker 7: That chokes that so uh mantis your turn. You've got
down at the end of the hall. You know that
something is coming, something four legs coming.
Speaker 2: You said that this thing has to turn a corner
before we can actually see it, right, Yes, I want
to get as close to said corner as possible without
giving away my position.
Speaker 7: Okay, the corner and.
Speaker 5: Look well well well.
Speaker 7: All right, so this is gonna get real weird, real fast.
Here's how this is gonna go. Now, Oh what up Scar, Hello, Hey,
thanks for showing up. Hey check this out. So this
is gonna here's how this is gonna work out. No,
every time Mantis's turn comes up, the two of you
are both gonna have a little roll off to see
was in control. Brad, Yeah, yep, there.
Speaker 2: Is everything good on your end before I talk about you.
Speaker 5: Yes, you talk ship away.
Speaker 2: Okay, we already have, but glad, glad, you could make it.
Speaker 7: Everybody, everybody except for Chuck. Chuck is here. Chuck is Chuck.
Chuck is driving Mantis currently, and uh he was. He
was the only person to be nice. So uh we
made jokes at his expense for.
Speaker 2: Like, I just suggested that were it not for his absence,
I wouldn't be here. So, you know, A said relatively nice.
Speaker 5: I guess that's ever said to me, very nice.
Speaker 8: Let's do this.
Speaker 7: So if we're going to do that, then what you're
driving the role, it's gonna be a two D six
whoever higher combined total between you two. So but right
now you're driving this ran right.
Speaker 2: Uh, And I'm sticking to my original plan. I want
to like hug up against the wall, draw another sword
with my human hands, and I think this is probably
gonna be the Monosaords go. You know, I'm dual wheeling
these Monosaords now, and I'm just gonna like press my
back against the wall and kind of like lean my
head around the corner and wait for this thing to
come around, because if it catches anybody's attention, it's gonna
see them first.
Speaker 7: Yeah. So here's what happens. You get there, you got
your swords up, and you kind of shimmy along the
wall tactically, and you peek around real quick. And when
you do, oh, you know what I like even better
than that, you stick the blade of the sword out
around the corner just a little bit. You look into
the reflection.
Speaker 2: Use a mirror, yes, and.
Speaker 7: Yeah, you peek around using the swords reflection, and you
see it. It's coming. This is it's called a razor cat.
You guys probably have no clue what this is. It's
not like a very common thing to see. But I'm
gonna pop them up in the show. Two players.
Speaker 3: There is just like a real BF.
Speaker 9: Panther that can is fucking Jack.
Speaker 2: I am writing my decision to get to Manley arrange
with this thing.
Speaker 7: Now you notice it's gotten, it's got it's got three years,
three years, and like it looks like it's got like
a double back. Uh. And it's got like hands almost
on the front. The tail is thick.
Speaker 3: Thuck, Yes it is. I don't like the way you
said that, but okay, yeah, duck, just jealous. You were
into him until you saw this cat.
Speaker 7: It's got it's got.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 7: Somehow he's turned the word thick into four syllables. Yeah,
I yuck. And as you get close, you can you
feel something in the air as you get close to it,
something something weird, something unnatural, something awkward. You feel in
your loins, something unpleasant. We're gonna drop you down to
a little avenue then the razor cat. This thing is
moving fast, way too fast. Also, I didn't mention this
thing is like, uh, it's you would guess ballpark.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 7: You know how much cats weigh. You know, maybe you're
thinking like this thing probably weighs like thirty five pounds.
It's kind of a big cat, but it's not huge.
It's not like a panther. It's like a like an ocelot,
like a big ass oscelot.
Speaker 2: Okay, is it the fucking ocelot from Archer? Yeah, baboo.
Speaker 7: I've only seen like four episodes of Archer. I should
check out.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a show just like I.
Speaker 7: Frequently anytime I had to, you know, spell things out
like Emma's and Nancy. But uh, that's uh, that's the
thing that stood out with me. And anyhow, So this
thing comes running around the corner. It's fucking fast, It's
real fucking fast. It runs around the corner and it
gets into reach of of of seven and it's going
to make an attack against you right away. Mantison here comes,
So I gotta it's not I don't have to target you.
That's not this game. I just have to use the
attack which is here. Here comes the claw. Oh it's
not that bad. So only three hits, So go ahead
and click that defend button. As long as your your
token is selected, you click the defend button in the
chat and it will roll for you. Uh oh no,
net hits three successes, so it totally misses you.
Speaker 10: Well right, I would have gotten three success too.
Speaker 7: Maybe who knows?
Speaker 2: You say that?
Speaker 3: I mean, how about we do a what if roll
star let's just see you.
Speaker 2: Uh no, no, we're good.
Speaker 7: Yeah, choice don't funk with faith, So we moved to
not knuckles Nichols volt.
Speaker 2: Oh, I see what you did there?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 7: Uh?
Speaker 5: Can I see this thing or do I just see?
Speaker 7: Like yeah, it's coming around the corner, so you see
it now and like it's uh, you're still in your
astral perception and this thing it's it's free to switch
that off, but I'm gonna say it's still on. So
this thing, it's it's got an aura. Give me a
do you want to do in a sensing role? Sure, yeah,
let's see. Let's uh, let's sense sense that ass Jesus. Yeah,
welcome aboard. Ye, this thing's magic rating is almost as
high as yours.
Speaker 2: Well, goddamn.
Speaker 7: It is a vibrant aura that is a disgusting, swirling
mass of browns and yellows, and it emanates this this
like field of just like negativity around it.
Speaker 2: Oh sounds like me.
Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, I guess I will hit it with a
lightning bowlb No.
Speaker 2: Dude, you hit with a hammer, because he's made out
of magic.
Speaker 5: I'm not getting near that thing.
Speaker 2: You have a hammer, he doesn't, right advantage?
Speaker 7: Would all your problems look like cats? Every tool becomes
a hammer.
Speaker 3: Even if even.
Speaker 2: Use hammer.
Speaker 4: Yeah, even if a panther's not magical. I do not
recommend you attack it with the hammer.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so we're just gonna sucking lightning bolded.
Speaker 3: No modifiers because that's me.
Speaker 5: Let me check which.
Speaker 2: We need a token on this thing on the board
so that we can target it.
Speaker 7: No, this is a foundery. But yeah, I've got token
out your I'm.
Speaker 2: Well aware of that. Yeah yeah choo. Yeah we should,
we should. We should be telling the listeners that you
actually used foundry uh for for the other game, which
I'm very proud of you.
Speaker 5: Yeah, very nice. Oh good, right it did actually yeah, uh.
Speaker 7: It's yeah, it's it's uh yeah, it's nice.
Speaker 2: I'm I'm digging the Final Fantasy three character versus enemy
lineup battle thing. Oh yeah yeah, that's what it looks
like a lot of yeah. Yeah, but remember you put
yourself forward so that the guy's in the back take
less damage, right right?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 7: Oh man? Okay, so what am I? What am I doing?
This is uh indirect so it gets to make an
avoition test. I believe it is what I was pronounced.
Speaker 2: You just you just shot red thirteen of the lightning bolt,
didn't six successes?
Speaker 7: It gets right, the fun out of the way.
Speaker 2: I told you.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that would have been much better.
Speaker 2: You should have cast both three, that's your problem.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I should have so I can shoot my fucking hand.
We're like a missile.
Speaker 7: You guys want to stop playing this and start playing
Final Fantasy eleven.
Speaker 2: I got.
Speaker 7: So here we go, Jacques the mad Frenchman, and by
French I mean Canadian, and by Canadian I mean Canadian Canadian.
Speaker 3: I am Quebecua.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and his quebec claw fingers will pull the trigger
on his Oari Arms equalizer as he burst fires upon
this cat.
Speaker 2: Is that?
Speaker 3: Is that a machine gun or it's a machine pistol?
But we got pretty successes.
Speaker 7: But see how well this does to get out of
the way. This is uh, it's uh second one.
Speaker 3: I got some edge. I'm gonna roll edge on this.
Speaker 7: You want to, Okay, guess what he can't do.
Speaker 5: He can't prege.
Speaker 3: Let me.
Speaker 2: I damn it across the gentlemen that.
Speaker 3: Buck mhm uh no way. I apparently hit the fend
you did, But I got no more successes. So that's
three successes.
Speaker 7: Total, all right here going, it's got minus one because
it already defended against one attack. You got no net
hits for successes, it gets right the fuck out of
the way.
Speaker 3: Do you shoot?
Speaker 7: Oh wait, was that a burst fire?
Speaker 3: Or is that as fire?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 7: Okay, so it should have. Let's try this again. It's
got the negative two from that, so it's got a
negative three total. Oh one net hit, so it's got
a soak once.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 7: One success takes seven damage and that is physical damage
and ware.
Speaker 2: A go how big is this thing compared to one
of us?
Speaker 7: Much smaller?
Speaker 2: This is?
Speaker 7: It's it's maybe panther sized. No, no, it's not. It's
it's like double the sizable house can. Okay, it's not
very big, okay.
Speaker 10: But it is so like man coon size?
Speaker 7: Man coon? What is that is?
Speaker 2: It?
Speaker 7: Is that like a raccoon?
Speaker 2: It's imagine a domestic cat, but like one hundred and
fifty larger.
Speaker 7: Oh just scale it up, yeah, I say.
Speaker 2: That's yeah, that's the type of cats I have.
Speaker 7: I thought I thought man coon was like a like
part man, part raccoon. Like, yeah, it was very big,
like like a man like part man.
Speaker 2: Those Let's see.
Speaker 3: I believe in you can kill.
Speaker 7: This is anybody? Is anybody currently engaged in melee with it?
Mantis is yes, Okay, I won't use the grenades.
Speaker 2: God damn it. All right, I'm gonna uh.
Speaker 10: Sorry to be in your way of your grenade throwing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's launching. I've actually got him in the grenade
launcher this time. Okay, where can I see what happens
when a cat trip's on shade? So we're gonna rip
loose with the AK ninety seven?
Speaker 7: Oh jeez?
Speaker 2: Yeah, So how many bolts does burst fire?
Speaker 4: Do?
Speaker 2: Three?
Speaker 7: It depends you can do three or I think you've
got the option for six or ten.
Speaker 2: That's right, Aaron. You weren't here last week, so you
couldn't tell me how to play my character. I've never
using the before.
Speaker 7: You can do a right you can do a burst,
you can do a full auto burst, or you can
do a long burst. So it's either three, six or
ten rounds. And uh the modifiers are for him would
be minus two, minus five or minus nine to his
dice pool. But you have stacking recoil penalties, so whatever
you recoil compensation is gets subtracted from the number of
bullets fired before you start taking that many penalties on
your tack rolls.
Speaker 3: What yep?
Speaker 12: Uh?
Speaker 7: Yes, do you have a recoil compensation value entered.
Speaker 2: No, because this is this is mounted on the bike,
so there's no upgrades to this.
Speaker 7: Okay, so if there's if there's mount if it's mounted
on the bike, it's got a pretty good recoil compensation.
I think it's like a ten.
Speaker 3: It's it's equivalent body.
Speaker 2: Okay, it's out of car, it's a bike, but thank you,
it's body eight. So i'll do I'll do the second
one that does say six shots.
Speaker 7: Okay, yeah, so you'll fire off that is a full
auto short burst.
Speaker 2: H Okay, do I need to do anything when I
press this button? Do it automatically?
Speaker 7: It should do it?
Speaker 10: Okay, get get cat.
Speaker 7: Five successes okay, cool, and it is going to defend
and uh so you did that once. It's got my five,
but it's also been attacked twice, so it's got a
minus seven. No success is five net hits, so it takes. Uh,
it's gonna make its test against the damage, so it
takes three physical damage. Mantis. Do you have some kind
of like gas mask on?
Speaker 10: Yeah, we all have gas masks.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Did you just say we bought a whole bunch of.
Speaker 7: Them before we got Yeah? Is it is it on.
Speaker 5: I've got a fucking why wouldn't we take I'm sorry,
I don't know.
Speaker 10: Two of us could potentially answer this. It's confusing. I
would never I would not take it off.
Speaker 2: But the other Mantis mate, Yeah, that's that's what I
was thinking too, Like after the whole thing with the Banshee,
I would be like, Okay, there are other ways.
Speaker 7: Oh, you don't know about it. I feel about that.
Speaker 2: I don't. Oh you don't, fine, I guess, I guess.
The other version of Mantis is meta gaming.
Speaker 7: No, you like you you chuck your love memory.
Speaker 3: The podcast?
Speaker 7: Yeah, so you got what you remember is uh, you
know the the last the last thing you remember was
you were connected to the matrix and you were busy
battling against uh some some sort of virus, some computer virus,
and then like you, you fucking got hit with some
some black ice and you died. You remember that happening?
And now you're here suddenly.
Speaker 2: I just got Johnny silver handed into this guy's head.
Speaker 7: Oh absolutely, but but but it uh neuromancer did that first?
Speaker 2: Of course? Of course, all right, can't.
Speaker 7: I got shot? And but if you got the gas
mask on, you're you're Okay, you're okay, you don't don't
get Ashley projected the cat drop's debt because you've shot it.
Speaker 2: Enough, oh sop to his soul.
Speaker 7: So you have uh you got well you didn't say that,
you have dropped your ass. You're still there. So you
you shoot this thing and it dies, uh and you
just see you know, it's it's aura drop and and
and fade and die. But like, uh, the that that
kind of condensing around it is still happening, and it's
it's it's aura does not move away from the body.
It just kind of diminishes and then collapses and uh vanishes. Okay,
so it didn't project out. It just died, but that
the aura surrounding it is is still uh that like
negativity surrounding it's still going.
Speaker 2: I mean I'd be pretty negative too if I was
shot and killed, so you know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's fair.
Speaker 2: I think I'd be pretty neutral because I wouldn't tear
anymore but dead. So after I killed the thing, I'm
gonna look at anyone else because they're smarter than me
and go. So was that one of the bar guys?
Speaker 4: No bars like dogs like shitty dogs like oh with
stupid faces.
Speaker 2: What is this thing four of his shoulders.
Speaker 3: It's a it. It looks like a beefy housecat.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
Speaker 7: Now you guys are taking a better look at it.
It's got this uh uh like a collar on it.
And the collar's got this this like uh it's like
white plastic thing that's like, uh, like a little bit longer.
It looks almost like, oh man, how can I describe
this thing? It's like a like an L shaped plastic
protuberance coming off of the collar, like like aligned with
its spine.
Speaker 2: That would be the third ear that you were talking
about earlier.
Speaker 7: No, no, no, it's got it's got a third ear on
top of its head.
Speaker 2: It's just you know there, Yeah, so you've got three
ears and a dorsal thing.
Speaker 7: It's not it's not a fin It's like a like
an L shaped protruberance, like a like a it's like.
Speaker 3: Is it embedded in the skin or it's it's taller.
Speaker 7: It looks like it's coming off the collar. And now
that you're like, uh, you get closer to it, you
can like it is it is like jammed in there
and like you you can see that it's not coming
out of the collar. It's like in the embedded in
the thing's neck and it's definitely plastic.
Speaker 4: Can I get some sort of skill check to see
if I know what it is? I think I know
what it is.
Speaker 7: But uh, you give me, give me a logic plus willpower.
Speaker 3: A logic plus willpower.
Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, Well I'm gonna ask Sarah is this thing.
Speaker 7: I I don't. I don't know. If it's looks like
a big pissed.
Speaker 3: Off cat, that's a zero successes.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 7: So she's she's like a sensing it and she's like,
oh that's bad. That's this thing's pumping radiation out. I
don't don't touch it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, Next.
Speaker 7: So you guys head and follow the direction again. You
get to another sealed door and it's got one of
these like uh kind of viewing windows to it and
inside you guys, can you know, if you if you like,
lean up against it, you can look in. But it's uh,
you know, it's a like a two way kind of thing,
but like tinted, like heavily tinted. That's what I'm looking for.
You can you can lean up against it, put your hands,
you know, up against it, and look through and you
see on the other side. You guys can see Howard
and he's working. It's got like a like a bench
in there, and he's working on one of these cats
that looks like it's like connected to you know, some
like a like a tube and like some machines and
ship like that, and it's like on like a table.
He's in there working on it.
Speaker 3: Okay, forward will attack the window with the fluid motion.
Speaker 7: Oh fuck, all right, go forward, make make a test.
Uh and uh it's just gonna you know, it's unresisted.
We're gonna see how many hits he can get. Okay.
So okay, so uh yeah, yeah eleven okay and yeah
so you yeah, you bash this fucking thing and like
it goes like dunk and shatters as the fluid like
pumps to the other end of it. And uh. He
snaps his head around and he's like whoa uh uh
uh uh uh.
Speaker 3: Your wife.
Speaker 7: Yeah, so she she like rushes forward and like you know,

Speaker 7: Or melee weapon skill, whatever it is called. Yeah, the
combat skill for it. Yeah, blades, yeah, blades.

through the window as you like slice it open and
the door opens up and there was a dour Yeah.
So he's in there. He's like changing. He's like, you

and he's he's like, you know, his ankle is shackled
to like the furniture in there. You can't you can't
get out of there unless somebody I don't know breaks that,

easy for a dude like him.
Speaker 2: Timanthus again, since he has the sweet ass swords, the
sweet ass sorts.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, Ford will even go as far as to
hold the chain tout for you.

He's like, I've been working around the I guess, not clock,
but not stop to work on this project that they
put me on. And they all, right, well.
Speaker 2: Look we got like a whole army coming at us,

Speaker 7: And he like walks out and he's like he's having
trouble kind of walking and he's limping a little bit,
and you can tell he's a little bit dehydrated. But
he gets there. He's like this way and he points
back the direction you guys came from.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: I was about to say, like, how did we get
in here?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 5: The door locked behind us, didn't it.

can you blow up the door? Can I blow up
the door? I could cut it up for you, but
blow it up now.
Speaker 7: So as you guys exit the room with him, and
you know, him and his wife embrace and then she
like she's like, oh, Howard, I was so worried. And
then she like leans back and like slaps his face
and then starts screaming at him. Could you do all this?
How could you do this without involving me? How could
you make plans for our family without consulting me?
Speaker 2: First?
Speaker 7: This is my family too. It's not just yours, your tag.
Everything you forganted.
Speaker 2: Sarah, Sarah focus, focus.

Speaker 2: I bet they're not as annoying as the hardcore guys though.
Speaker 8: Yeah, they don't have any John Wicks with them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's see what you guys said to say about
that first.

Speaker 5: I feel like cheating with us.
Speaker 2: Okay, you don't.
Speaker 4: Both has never given me increased reflecuses. It's like he
doesn't think I can help.
Speaker 3: Fair point.
Speaker 2: Do you want them? I'll give them to you.
Speaker 5: I got a scared holding the other two spots.
Speaker 2: Hilarious. Oh man, we're about to get the fight of
our lives that he's over here bickering. Get about equal opportunity,
Like I've given you invisibility before.
Speaker 4: Then you immediately almost died like my faulted me. Every
time you cast a spell on me, you either go
unconscious or.
Speaker 10: Forget about seeing.
Speaker 5: There's a reason I don't do it.
Speaker 2: Wow. Yeah, maybe maybe it's just bad luck.
Speaker 5: Bro, have bad luck.
Speaker 7: Actually you are bad luck.
Speaker 2: Have manifests and both failing.
Speaker 7: Here we go, Here we go, Here we go, Here
we go that.
Speaker 2: Wow, So Scar, since you're taken over, you want to
roll the initiative this one?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 10: Okay?
Speaker 2: Fifteen Okay. Are the knight Errant guys like, are they
like handling these dogs or are they equipped with like
do they come out like with guns drawn?
Speaker 7: Your guns? Yeah? No, they've got like like if you
look at the picture that I got out of the
Bargess with the knight Erran guy next one something like that,
Like they're not on a leash.
Speaker 2: It's like I didn't see the gun at first. I
see it like across his chest.
Speaker 7: Okay, see yeah, it's like a knight errant or like
a like a canine unit with a cop. So like
the dog comes out with them, and the dog knows
to do what they want rather than just you know,
running around like a lunatic, like my dog does.
Speaker 13: Violence and justice, Yeah, violence and justice.
Speaker 7: Violent justice is what's written on the training vest that
the barbers have on.
Speaker 2: I mean, we are breaking the law, so it's kind
of justice.
Speaker 7: Right, that's right. Yeah, violence injustice is what's this. So
that's my mottol I'm gonna get that tattooed on my No,
I'm not so wow, thirty three look at you. Oh
you know what. We gotta get Sarah in here because
she no, I'm not even gonna bother because she's she's
she's gonna endu knocking herself out. She's busy. She's helping Howard.
That's what she's doing.
Speaker 2: That's fine, all right.
Speaker 4: Or it doesn't happen to have like twenty points sunk
into like long arms or something doesn't.
Speaker 7: No, not at all.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm gonna launch a shade field grenade at them
from the bike grenade launcher.
Speaker 7: Okay, uh okay, fuck me.
Speaker 5: All right, let's go these shade field grenades.
Speaker 3: Guys.

Oh maybe fire your shame field grenades.
Speaker 9: Yeah, you know what I'm gonna pre edge. Yeah, yeah,
this one's for you.
Speaker 2: Sho love it.
Speaker 3: Yes, you rolling your bad luck for that?
Speaker 8: Nothing is working, not surprising, there's my.
Speaker 2: Bad luck roll. So I've I've rolled the grenade launcher
twice and nothing. Have it sampened?
Speaker 7: Try try refreshing, refreshing, try this.
Speaker 2: Let me just try this way. All the times you
took ship about rolls twenty, I think it finally hurt it.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it took a while for it to brozes.
Speaker 2: I'll show you. Just give me seventeen sessions and I'll
fuck your day up.
Speaker 8: Okay, let's see sixteen sessions. After hearing the ship talking
on the first session.
Speaker 7: What was it? There was like a thing where it
was like, uh, like a Microsoft Edge being like, uh,
get prepared for Happy New Year's or something like that.
But it's like march.
Speaker 2: All right, here we go one more time.
Speaker 7: Yeah, refreshed. I did do it again.
Speaker 2: You need to target. It's not it's all.
Speaker 3: Let me try, good thing, and you've got eight successes.
Speaker 2: Oh damn right, thank you?
Speaker 7: All right? Uh does it does it do damage? Does
it to ten damage?
Speaker 5: I think it does, like small amount of damage like
too normally.
Speaker 14: Oh no, no, no, no, it did the It did the
AK forty seven again for some reason I did.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I don't know what. For whatever reason, when
I'm clicking on the grenade launcher or the grenade that's
loaded in the grenade launcher, nothing is happening.
Speaker 7: All right, let me see if I can make it go.
Speaker 2: But when I do the AK, the AK works, the
grenade launcher does not. So what what Nucks needs to
do then is he needs to take the round out
of the grenade launcher and they do that World War
two movie thing where they bop it on the head
and then throw it like that. I mean, I'll just
throw a regular grenade if I have to.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, I don't know why this isn't working.
Speaker 2: Fucking stupid role.
Speaker 4: Well, actually, like because of the way SHEI grenades work.
I don't think they do like hardly any damage.
Speaker 7: I don't think they do damage.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, but just why don't you just take the
eight successes and then they start rolling their staves.
Speaker 7: I mean it would be the same thing because it's mounted, right, yeah,
it's gunnery. Yeah so yes, so well shit, I mean,
these these guys don't have the stuff to make them
immune to that like the other thing did. So yeah,
you fire off that grenade and uh you put it
exactly where you want to go, and the gas goes
off and uh, how much.
Speaker 2: Were these things in? One thousand?
Speaker 3: Right? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Oh man, thousand dollars.
Speaker 5: We just need to start manufacturing these forgetting the shadow runners.
Speaker 8: Let's start a drug train at Yeah, the.
Speaker 7: Goal is, see the thing is you buy the drugs
and then you do you explode them and somehow I'm
not sure.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 7: So yeah, you fire off the shade grenade and it
lands in between them and it blows up and the
crazy purple knockout gas spreads out from it and it
hits the dudes and they all, like all of them
just like a plunk plunk, plunk plunk, and drop to
the ground and uh, I guess uh volts still astrally
percepting because nobody's said anything otherwise. You see their bodies
fall and then you see their uh their uh, their
aura there I'm looking for their aura like comes away
from their their plunked bodies and starts to move about
as you astrally perceive. Though that makes you dual natured,
so they can come up and attack you still and
the dogs will oh but you can turn that off,
like it's it's like a free thing to drop. So yeah, yeah,
so like the dogs. Yeah, the dogs aret like sprinting
towards you, and you're like, oh, and you turn off
your actual perception just as it one of them like
leaps at you, and then you're like oh no, and
you close your eyes and turn it off, and then
like the ghost of it like just passes through you
and it's cool.
Speaker 2: Oh my god. It's it's like it's like you had
a fucking pair of vyr glasses on. It was running
towards just like take off.
Speaker 7: It's like the ghost train from Ghostbusters. Ghostbusters.
Speaker 5: Do we should get the fuck moving on? Come on,
guys with cocca.
Speaker 4: All right, Bordle pull out his his regular Neamada pistol.
Speaker 3: That's a little bit of the shade bullets.
Speaker 10: Wait, when did we get Howard?
Speaker 2: What the fuck? What?
Speaker 3: What are you talking about?
Speaker 2: Happening? Is happening again?
Speaker 10: Man? Just holding his head, buddy.
Speaker 2: How many trucks are you doing?
Speaker 5: You know when you go to bed at night?
Speaker 2: Not enough?
Speaker 7: Apparently maybe two, not exactly the right amount.
Speaker 10: Not enough is a nun I might start taking up.
Speaker 2: Some all right, k K mantis? Can you blow up
the door? U?
Speaker 10: Of course I can't.
Speaker 2: We're talking about all right, great.
Speaker 8: All right, I'm gonna give word and increased reflexes now,
by the way.
Speaker 7: Just because you complained about it. So you guys start
heading back and you you go up the stairs and
you they're another one of these cats is coming after you.
Speaker 2: Guys.
Speaker 7: You know that. So you guys like you, you you
hear it and it starts coming up, and you guys
are like, hustle, hustle. You get to the door. What
are you doing? You get a blasted with an arrow?
Or what?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 7: Explosive head, give me explosive head.
Speaker 10: Oh you I've been waiting my whole lot.
Speaker 2: Man, You have been waiting for that one, haven't you.
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 7: Yeah, what is it? I think it's like a d
and d thing. There's like a move called like hideous blow,
and I'm like, ah ha, that's one of those ones
that gets me every time. It's like it's like like
an ugly person, you know. Anyhow, Uh, you take what
you can get. I use hideous blow.
Speaker 10: Grow hanging fruit and I love it now. I five successes.
Speaker 7: Okay, Yeah, so yeah, you you fire off the arrow
and you hit the door in it. It pops, kaboom,
warp spends, blows off, the hinge, falls to the ground,
skitters out, and you head up. This thing is sprinting
towards you, guys, and at the bottom of the stairs,
you guys slam that door shut, and the thing, you know,
slams against you here like on the other side, like
and like you see it's pause sticking out under the
door to try to like swat at you. And uh,
those things are those things are actually pretty awful if
you get into close combat with them. So it's a
good thing you guys were able to kill it before
that really happened. They they cook your your organs when
they hit you or when you hit them. Yeah, they
just pump out radiation like it's real bad, real, real bad,
awesome yeah, So you guys get away from that one
and like it's you know, whoever's like holding the door
shut is like I feel a little dizzy. Oh, and
you like move away from the door and like start
to feel a little bit better. But you guys get
out and you're into that other we're gonna move. We're
gonna transition to die of cancer in five years. Yeah yeah,
you can have children anymore. But that's too late, too late,
too late for.
Speaker 2: With two kids.
Speaker 3: I got one on the way. Yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 7: There's one on the way. Uh yeah, that's that's that's
cannon that's happening. So you get into this building and
you guys are in this one. You guys come up
these stairs in head towards the exit. You guys are
on the ground level parking garage. So underneath my car,
you call the car. It was in the parking garage
across the other side of the street, second floor, so
it starts to to come towards you. This is the
replacement car, the cool one, the black one, and it's
on its way. The This has like a pretty serious
gate that is like a security gate, so the cars
can be able to just like come through it. No problem.
It's gonna have to like batter down the gate if
you want it to get through, or you guys can
do something else.
Speaker 3: Well, I does the gate have a control?
Speaker 7: Uh yeah, it's you don't know where exactly.
Speaker 3: Though, I'm gonna start looking for it.
Speaker 7: Okay. So yeah, I mean you're looking around out there,
and you know you're able to eventually figure out in
the in the building you came out of, there's like
a security room that handles the gate. So you get
into there and there's a thing and and there's one
guy in there. You you go in and you like
blast him with your your knockout gas gun and hit
the button. You know what. No, you blast with a
knockout gas gun and he falls and as he falls,
like his hand SLID's onto the big red button and
the gate goes like slides open, and uh, you know,
his spirit leaves his body, and uh man, this is
gonna have some weird, weird shit going on. But you
go and uh, your car shows up.
Speaker 2: Let's roll. Are we being pursued at all?
Speaker 12: Not?
Speaker 7: Does not appear to be.
Speaker 5: I look astrally to see if we're being pursued.
Speaker 7: You project and or not project? You perceive and like
the dude's spirit is like drifting around like trying to
You can tell he's trying to get back into his body,
but it's he doesn't know what the fuck he's doing.
Like he's like lost. It's like somebody that's like on
ice skates for the first time, you know, he's he's like, well, well,
how do I go places? And like it it's not
working very well for him.
Speaker 2: What does it feel like to punch a guy in
the soul?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 2: It feels great?
Speaker 1: What?
Speaker 2: Uh do we still hear the alarm going on.
Speaker 7: For any Yes, the arm is still going off.
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, or it's gonna climb in his car it's here.
Speaker 7: Yeah, So it gets there and uh, you get into
the car and you guys start to drive. As you
get out a very short distance. Uh, these automated guns
are gonna open up on you.
Speaker 2: I was wondering if those were actually turrets. Yeah, it
was probably should have asked that before we tried to
call the car.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna let the car come in.
Speaker 7: Yeah, well, I mean they like the guy that's like
watching is like, okay, you know, here's the car, all right,
shoot the guys. Now that they're in the firing yard,
so they bring him up here. We're gonna get one
round of fire off from both Oh that's right, it's
already open over here. One round of fire from both
of them, and then you guys are able to get
out of there.
Speaker 10: I'm gonna pump up my I'm gonna.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna pump it up, pump pump it up.
Speaker 10: I'm gonna what is happening? What are you having a stroke?
I think I'm gonna use adorenaline boost.
Speaker 15: As soon as I see those things like kind of
moving towards us, I'm gonna kick a switch on a
general and boost and try to pot shot him with
the explosive.
Speaker 2: Friends, Bay, Scar, did you forget about the other guy
living in your head?
Speaker 3: Beat?
Speaker 2: Seven?
Speaker 10: I will try.
Speaker 8: I don't.
Speaker 1: So.
Speaker 2: Has you said that this The guns are gonna shoot first?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 7: The guns are firing off before you guys can get
out of it.
Speaker 2: Okay, cool?
Speaker 7: So first one? Seven successes?
Speaker 3: Okay? How do I defend against that as a car?
Speaker 7: Good question? I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 2: I bet transformers ask that quies all the time. How
do I defend against that attack? Oh?
Speaker 3: I can do an evasion maneuver.
Speaker 7: Yeah, do the avoition, Yeah, pop a sick wheelie you
or success?
Speaker 4: So three net hits and then I can soak to
see if like the so I can soak for the damage.
So whatever three net hits I guess would be thirteen
points of physical damage against the car. That's eleven points
of physical damage against the car.
Speaker 2: Okay, so mark that damn.
Speaker 3: Yep?
Speaker 7: Bet all right, here comes the other one again?
Speaker 2: Seven Okay, not that I'm always in the you know,
mood to jump on that grenade, but are they both
shooting at the car or is one of them shooting
at me on the bike car?
Speaker 7: Because the car is out of heady? You you haven't
You didn't say you were going yet?
Speaker 2: Okay?
Speaker 7: Oh no, no successes? Yeah I was a.
Speaker 4: And also well success no good?
Speaker 3: So what's well? No seven successes?
Speaker 4: There's no way that's eleven eighteen blandmage, I take ten more.
Speaker 3: The other cars busted, So.
Speaker 2: What's the odds that mister Johnson has another one of
these cars? Because weed, are there any other cars in
this port? Like there's yes, look you got a parking lot,
why not take one of these?
Speaker 7: So those open and the car gets lit up and
is like immediately like stops driving it like rolls to
a stop. Is uh, thing's blown out the engine and
like it is still firing at the engine and this
car is like starting to starting to smoke and then
the engine catches on fire and they're still shooting.
Speaker 2: At it and overkill.
Speaker 7: Uh, you guys should probably get out and they're still
shooting at it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, get out, okay, question Adam. While this is happening,
can I toss a regular grenade at one of these turrets?
Speaker 4: Like?
Speaker 2: Can I? Are they visible enough where I could try
to target one?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Sure, yeah, you turn one. I want to see if
I can't climb some buildings and get to the other one.
So I'll toss a grenade, just like I'll pull rig
a grenade off the bandolier, just throw it from sitting
on the bike, and then I'm gonna pull back into
the parking garage so I don't get lit up by
the other one.
Speaker 7: Okay, So you guys, you guys bail out of the
cars start to start running. It sounds like Mantis is
dashing towards one of these tur rates, And uh.
Speaker 2: I would prefer to use whatever buildings I need to
climb as cover.
Speaker 7: But so you're in a parking Yeah, you're in a
parking garage. Underneath, so do you see like this this
kind of this wall down here. Yeah, okay, So that
wall like that goes around and there's like like a
floor above it. Okay, Yeah, so there's not really much
like there's like this this building that's right here goes
you know, up to the ceiling and then there's another
floor above you. So there's not really anything that you
can go like up over.
Speaker 2: Okay, So these guns are essentially embedded into the wall.
Speaker 7: Then, so they are so like imagine like a like
a like a parking garage. Now there's like a like
a waist height wall and then it's like open there's
like pillars over here and there. It's like that. So
these things are in the corner on the inside of
that knee high wall or a waistside wall, and they
can fire above it kind of like a like a
like a pillbot, like a like a World War two
pullbox kind of.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you're saying these guns are probably about wasted
chest high on us. Uh, yes, okay, all right, well
then yeah, I'm I want to see if I can't
just juke and dodge my way to one of these
gun things and try to cut it down.
Speaker 7: Okay, there we go, So let's get that grenade roll
and uh the we'll do uh Mantis and uh, we'll
do the grenade first.
Speaker 2: One moment. There we go. Sorry, I'm trying to find it.
Too much stuff on my character sheep five successes.
Speaker 7: Okay, that puts it where you want it to be.
So this thing is going to It can't defend because
it doesn't go anywhere. So you're taking twenty one ap
minus two and let's see it soaks not enough, definitely
not enough. It sokes one two three, soaks three. So yeah,
you you dust yournade in there and you blast this thing.
It blows up and like it you know, it starts
firing like crazy and then explodes and uh the car
is on fire and the fire spreading and the car
is all up in flames, and uh, you know, uh,
the passengers get out and they're back inside of the garage.
The bike is in the garage, but Mantis is rushing
towards the other gun. So give me a we're gonna do.
This is just kind of a free form thing. I
need a athletics or gymnastics your choice to get to it,
and then we're gonna do an attack here. So I'm looking
at the running running or running gymnastics hard running.
Speaker 2: We're gonna roll all eighteen of those. Du Yeah, there
we go, it will let me there we go. Submit
So seriously eighteen I get three successes.
Speaker 7: Hey still three is good. You get in there and
this thing is shooting at you, so we're gonna We're
gonna make one attack roll and then you get to
get your uh, your your attack against.
Speaker 2: It that I take it. He gets first shot.
Speaker 7: Yeah, a long way. So okay, so you need you
can click that defend.
Speaker 2: Button there defense. You attempted to use a role command looking.
Speaker 7: For the value of Oh you gotta you gotta click
on it. You have to drag your token out into
the map and then click on them and then it defend. Sorry,
oh fine, yeah that's not Let's drag us out there
all right round two click that.
Speaker 2: And then hold the sheet back up and then I
have the.
Speaker 7: Roll on the In the chat log, there's a defend button.
Speaker 2: Situational modifiers done.
Speaker 7: Oh five minute hits, so uh, you might want to
use you might want to use edge to re roll those.
Speaker 2: Hmm, how am I going to post edge that? So
say that again? After we got the beavis and buttoned
and laugh.
Speaker 7: Out of the word, click the word success and it
should reroll it.
Speaker 3: Mm hmm, I'm not there.
Speaker 2: I'm not seeing the word success wide up as a button.
Speaker 4: No, no, no, uh oh.
Speaker 3: You might not be able to you might not edge.
Speaker 2: I might be edgeless. Actually, your your.
Speaker 3: Defend said that you rolled zero dice?
Speaker 2: What really did I need to re roll that? Defend that?
Speaker 3: Did you? Did you?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 3: Wait?
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah we got there's five edge on the sheet.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, all right then defense situational modifiers zero submit.
Still didn't do it?
Speaker 7: What the hell is going on?
Speaker 3: We broke it?
Speaker 7: Let me try to do it this way. Yeah, it's
getting the same exact result every time. Weird hmmm roll
twenty Yeah yeah, it.
Speaker 4: Is rolling different values each time though, So I think
it's just a coincidence that I caught one success each time.
But basically, if you reroll one, two, three, four, five,
six D six, that's what you're at that that's what
you're educating.
Speaker 7: So and we could just count successes, right, Yeah, that
sounds good. So just just do that.
Speaker 2: Uh, run that by me again.
Speaker 7: So make it roll, Yeah, make it roll sixty.
Speaker 2: Six, got it six D six fire? What two?
Speaker 3: Three more?
Speaker 7: Excuse me? Three more? So it's got two net. So
now hit that soak button and uh we'll take another
an additional three damage off of the value.
Speaker 2: So situational modifiers minus three.
Speaker 7: Then maybe uh no, no no, no, just roll it without
a situational modifier and then whatever the value is, we'll
subtract three from it with our brain computers.
Speaker 2: Or three is one? Serious?
Speaker 7: Oh stun stunt? Yeah, so you take one stun damage
that's basically nothing.
Speaker 2: I feel gross.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's that's not bad. Like you get hit and
you're like, oh that hurt?
Speaker 2: All right? Yeah, you gotta got brutal sweat. Can you
give me something to target now?
Speaker 3: I think there you go.
Speaker 7: You don't target, you don't have a target. Yeah, so
you just make a make a tack roll with your sword,
your monosword find.
Speaker 2: That sword again. There it is monosaor seventeen roll and situation.
A lot of fires, five successes.
Speaker 7: Hot damn. So this thing can't defend. So that's nineteen
is gonna try to soak and see I get one, two, three, four, Wow,
four successes. Oh no, this should be less than that
because you've got the ap negative three. So here we
go one, two, three, four four successes. All right, So
yeah we're gonna stick with that first thing. Three successes.
So this thing takes uh, let's see, out of eleven.
So yeah, you slice this fucker in half. We yeah,
you kind of you like bounce around a little bit
and juke and dive and then hop over and it
shoots you, and you're like, you set up a bitch
and you slice it and that collapses.
Speaker 2: And three sixty slashes and I end up on one knee.
It explodes behind me, just next to my head.
Speaker 7: Yeah, perfect, exactly, like that totally cool.
Speaker 5: Noise, hardcore and.
Speaker 2: Figure right blade swing and then sheath it back.
Speaker 7: There you go like ghost Dog with his pistol.
Speaker 2: Yep. Yeah, oh I read that movie. But at the
same time I hate it so god damn.
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, it's so good, so good. All right, So
you look around. There's there's a bunch of cars in here. Sure, yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I also looking around on the map and there's like
five more of these guns just going mm hm.
Speaker 7: Yeah, don't set that those ones are looking in different places.
Speaker 3: Yep, I'm sure. Yeah to this this vehicle right here,
this truck, and uh sure it's fun. Is it unlocked?
Speaker 7: No, but it can be very easily because you're very powerful.
Speaker 4: Okay, Yeah, I'll wrap the door off, yes, and then
I go in and I'll attempt to hot wear it.
Speaker 7: Okay, yeah, go for it. That would be automotive mechanic.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm pretty good at that.
Speaker 7: That's what I hear.
Speaker 3: Not aeratics.
Speaker 7: You need. You're gonna need at least two and what
I get yeah one.
Speaker 5: Uh it's.
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah I could have. Yeah, I could have
definitely turned it in.
Speaker 7: Yeah. We'll say you did that because yeah you can. Yeah, yeah,
so you do. Uh yeah, you hot wire the fucker.
It's real easy. But it's like it's like in an
action movie instead of like in real life. So you
don't have to go into the hood or anything. You
just like you you open the glove box and you
funk around in there for a minute and the car starts,
all right, and with those guns out of the way,
you guys are able to load into this thing. So
this is like a like a sprinter van kind of situation.
It's an aries. I think bulldog is the actual thing.
It's an aries bulldog, right, isn't that what that is?
Speaker 3: No idea, I don't know.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's it's it's uh now now I'm just taking
casting myself.
Speaker 3: All right, it's an there's an areas roadback. I didn't
know that areas made cars. That was like just like
good thing online.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think that's where they started. Man, I think
they right, were they?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 7: BMW goes on to be sad or croup.
Speaker 3: Oh do you mean the GMC bulldog.
Speaker 7: GMC bulldog? Pardon Roadmaster, it's the bulldog, the bullkick.
Speaker 4: Well, I have the stats were here. That's why I'm asking,
yeah or anything?
Speaker 3: Oh god, this is so slow.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, but it is armored.
Speaker 3: Actually there's a fund on armor. Yes, and eight seats
so there's lots of yep.
Speaker 4: All right, yeah, d will wait for everyone to get
in except for Knuckles presumably.
Speaker 3: But that is Howard and and Sarah are with us.
I'm assuming.
Speaker 7: Yeah, they get in and you know, she's helping him
and like he's you know, he's having a hard time
getting around, but she's like his ankle is like all
fucked up, Like you can see like where this the
shackle was around him is like all like raw and
like it looks like it's infected or something. It's in
real bad shape. And like he's like coffin and like wheezing,
and like she gets some she gets them in there
and she's like, oh, Howard, what do they do to you?
And you guys, you know, are are trying to get
out of there. Your objective now at this point is
to get to the as Technology Pyramid, which is not
terribly far away. It's about sixteen blocks away. So you
guys start going and you know, she's she's like, what
do they do to you? And he's like, I was
experimenting with using the the alchemical polymer to try to
clean the radiation from the blood of these these cats.
I was exposed to very high doses of radiation myself,
and I feel like I have maybe lymphoma.
Speaker 3: Can cut it down.
Speaker 7: You kind of help here, so real, Oh no, no, no,
I think I'll I think I'll live for at least
another five years. I think when it's gonna be painful. Also,
my ankle is totally fucked and you hold it up
and like it's what is throbbing and pulsing and like
it's uh, it's bad, It's real bad. Like the cuff
is still on there because you guys cut off the
chain and the cuff is like super tight.
Speaker 2: You you want me to cut off the foot?
Speaker 7: No, no, no, I maybe I don't know. I don't
know what's right.
Speaker 2: I just get back to me on that.
Speaker 3: You'll be all right.
Speaker 7: Okay, let's just get out of here. I'm I can't
believe somebody finally came. I. I've been talking to this
guy for months and it's taking so long.
Speaker 2: You're mechanical arms is going to reach down and pull
a handkerchief from out of the coat and offer it
to him.
Speaker 7: Grandma's hankerchair. Oh sorry, yeah, and he coughs into it.
It's like Neon Green.
Speaker 2: Oh shit. Uh yeah, I don't know why we're gonna
keep talking. We need to get you to some kind
of that doctor like yesterday.
Speaker 7: Yeah. It's uh, I'm not feeling great, but you know
it's it's uh, it's nice to be out and they
open finally, you know, breathe the nice air. He like
rolls the window down. He kind of like hangs his
head out a little bit, and uh, you know, he
takes his deep breath of like the gross smog filled air.
Speaker 2: He's like.
Speaker 7: And like it's the air is thick, it's taste, it's
fiak and uh. He leans his head out and you know,
he's like, oh, it's so good to get this air.
So okay, and he kind of like loses consciousness and
like Sarah grabs onto him and like, you know, he's
his like head is like lolling back and forth, and
then it blows up his head, his head, Oh comeoom,
and like blood fucking sprays out, and then you hear
another and another fucking shot hits the side of the van.
Oh we're gonna, we're gonna, we're gonna break.
Speaker 2: Awesome.
Speaker 10: Mission still accomplished technically.
Speaker 8: All right, No, probably not, but maybe they just want
his body at the Aztec Pyramids.
Speaker 10: I mean, we did our job. We got him out
of there, right, you.
Speaker 3: Know what, Sarah, Mr was the better researcher. Anyways, I
think we can still figure.
Speaker 4: Something out, but mister Johnson's probably gonna go, well, you
better get her fucking head down before she gets domed.
Speaker 3: Actually, yeah, well I'm not sitting in the back.
Speaker 2: That's for your You count your car self. Drives.
Speaker 5: You do it, I will roll this one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, not this one.
Speaker 2: I thought it was an exact duplicate.
Speaker 5: Maybe an Yeah, I don't know how that works.
Speaker 2: Oh all right, I'm gonna get some doctor pepper. Yeah,
I'll be our beat. I should probably make some liquid
refreshment for myself as well.
Speaker 7: All right, I'm back. Hello everybody. I hope you ready?
Speaker 14: So uh Anam, Yeah, before we start, there's one last
thing we have to do, and it's not talking about
giants as much as I want to.
Speaker 2: You need to read the last of our Oh I do,
all right, and I believe the last one is his knuckles,
I think. So all right, I've I found it here,
so i'll just I'll put it at the I'll repaste
it in chat here, make sure the whole thing.
Speaker 3: Does Adam read it? Or do I read it?
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 10: You?
Speaker 2: I think you already? Did you read one yet?
Speaker 3: No? I haven't one?
Speaker 2: Oh you haven't?
Speaker 5: Okay, Oh then go hard Son.
Speaker 2: Well there you go. All right, So we're back, ladies
and gentlemen. Uh and uh that guy Aaron my new
friends on Facebook. Yeah, never has now gone up to five.
It's like it's like like fucking piccolo on uh dbc abridged.
He's like always checking his Facebook and his only friend
is Tom. Hey, look all your friend is here? All right?
Speaker 10: Uh?
Speaker 2: If you would, if you would, please read the last
of our g P. T. Burn roast sessions.
Speaker 3: All right?
Speaker 4: Well, well, well, if it isn't Knuckles, the epitome of
subtlety and sophistication in the Shadow Run universe. With the
shaved head that screams I've made poor life choices and
a neon mohawk that practically begs for attention like a
desperate street performer, Knuckles is the walking embodiment of a
midlife crisis on wheels. Let's not forget his ensemble, a
leather jacket that looks like it's been salvaged from the
rejected pile of a punk rock concert, and a bandoliader
of grenades that.
Speaker 3: Says I'm compensated for something.
Speaker 4: Oh boy, it couldn't wouldn't be complete without all those
oh so cool sunglasses, complete with a myriad of optical
enhancements that probably too little to improve his abysmal fashion sense.
But hey, who needs subtlety when you can announce your
presence with all the grace of a herd of stampeding
elephants and riding a motorcycle no less, because nothing says
look at me quite like revving up a loud, obnoxious
bike and tearing through the streets like.
Speaker 3: A wanna be action movies start. Oh there's more.
Speaker 4: And let's not forget knuckles day job as a bouncer,
because clearly his talents for diplomacy and conflict resolutioners.
Speaker 3: Or find us his taste and hairstyles.
Speaker 4: I'm sure his employers appreciate having a walking liability on
the prey roll, ready to ask any situation in a
full bone bar ball at a moment's notice. So here's
the Knuckles, the shadow Runner, whose idea of subtlety is
as non existent as his sense of self awareness. May
his neon mohawks shine as brightly as his future.
Speaker 3: Prospects, which I'm sure is about his dim as a
broken street lamp in the slums.
Speaker 2: Oh fuck, got him perfect? Oh man, there we go,
not even man bro.
Speaker 7: I made a thing on discord, so I can comment
on that with the face of uth Rex father.
Speaker 2: Do you remember the face of your father? Oh my god,
that's incredible.
Speaker 3: Where is this when you're.
Speaker 2: Like like something with discord there's like different icons and
stuff you can do.
Speaker 7: If you hover your mouse over, you get to see
a little bit of a bigger picture of them.
Speaker 2: That's the other one. Is that a guy in a
wheelcair I'm gonna Howie then, yeah, number.
Speaker 12: One five Howeys just just an exploding grenade behind him.
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm going to rate everything from now on in
like yeah, instead of stars, it's Howies.
Speaker 7: Oh dude, there's like, I don't know. I saw this
video with Jeff Goldbloom reviewing people's tattoos of Jeff Goldbloom,
and like everybody's he's like, I give it a five
out of five possible gold Blooms, Like every single one.
He's like a five out of five possible.
Speaker 2: Gold That sounds that sounds on brand for Jeff.
Speaker 7: Is absolutely He's a treasure. Jeff calling, maybe I haven't
seen you in weeks.
Speaker 2: Well he has.
Speaker 3: You.
Speaker 7: Guys are driving on the streets in the Bulldog. It's
a van. It's like a white like sprinter van kind
of situation. Eight seats, one of them occupied by a
headless corpse. Howard Murr his wife grieving over his very
recently dead body. He was crying about his ankle and
coughing out green crap. And now he's dead, his head
splattered on the side of the van. Another bullet hits
and this thing blows a fucking hole in the side
of the van the size of a pepsi can. It's
fucking it explodes.
Speaker 5: What goes inside night lords.
Speaker 7: Have this pepsi can blows through the side of the door,
and it hits, and it rocks the van when it hits.
Somebody's using some serious firepower. Uh, you guys have somebody's
got some kind of cyberrize or something.
Speaker 2: In you, right, somebody define cyber.
Speaker 7: Nobody's got cyberrizes. Vision magnification, vision enhancement.
Speaker 2: I believe I have that on my oh so cool sunglasses.
Speaker 15: Bot's got his binocular still, I've got I've got an
image link.
Speaker 2: I have vision magnification on it.
Speaker 7: My probe you're using your your your vision link or
your vision link, your vision enhancement and your cool glasses
and all the other stuff. You've got smart link on
their tea.
Speaker 2: Right. Ah, I don't know what that is. I'm gonna
say no, Okay.
Speaker 7: I'm gonna say yes. So your glasses, you know, you
look at the hole and then like you tap on
the on the like the right leg of the glasses
real quick, and it does a thing where it like
calculates and it gives you a trajectory and uh pinpoints
about where that shot came from. And like up on
the roof, you look up and then your glasses zoom in,
zoom in, zoom in, and you see a dude on
the roof. He's wearing this sick yellow leather jacket, because
that's what it likes to generate, is sick leather jackets yellow.
He's up there and it pings him. You recognize this guy.
He's on the he's on the shadow Runners network. And
he pops up his Kingsnake and he's up there and
he's got this big, big fucking sniper rifle and like
the the light reflects off of his equally cool glasses
and you see that he's lighted up a shot and
he like fucking slides the bolt. He takes another shot.
Speaker 2: I'll shout another shadow Runner, turn it quick.
Speaker 7: To fire at the car trying to hit the engine.
Block this sound because there's nobody sticking their head out.
Kingsnake rolls an attack with his Barrett model one. Five successes,
oh boy, four successes on the net fifteen physical damage
ap minus ten Ah.
Speaker 2: Damn, I want hiap weapons.
Speaker 3: Seven successes on that? So sorry? How much damage that was?
Speaker 7: Fifteen?
Speaker 3: Fifteen?
Speaker 7: Yeah? So eight?
Speaker 4: Okay, this man actually has quite a bit of armor,
so we're good.
Speaker 3: Can I see that guy?
Speaker 7: Uhulars with the opinoculars?
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, okay, I'm going to.
Speaker 7: Make a perception, make a perception. Alle we'll see if
you can see a FWK.
Speaker 8: You're gonna say, yeah, oh yeah, you see it. Okay,
I I look at him with my opera binoculars. I'm
gonna pre edge and I'm gonna influence. I'm gonna say
kill yourself.
Speaker 10: They like the Internet.
Speaker 2: Internet. When you influence someone, it's immediately just kill yourself. Kid.
It's never like, hey, put the gun down and walk
away or drink. You're done with marshmallow balls. Market we've
earned a.
Speaker 4: Few episodes ago episodes ago. He's corposcum. That's probably why
he's like this.
Speaker 10: Oh yeah, for sure, Why are you like this?
Speaker 7: Who did this to you?
Speaker 2: The more environment than have a space en where they
hurt you.
Speaker 3: Man, The whole body is red.
Speaker 7: Alright, great? Why am I why why are we even
playing this? Because you guys are just like you guys
walk over everything. So let's see, it's a logical willpower. Right,
here were three successes. Oh you know what you should get?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know you like two or three more dice?
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, yeah, So yeah, let's go that's the wrong thing.
Cancel this. Uh and you know he's got the thing.
He knows this is wrong, so we should roll that
again with three dice even less, and we're gonna use
one of his edge to reroll that, and that turns
into four successes. So yeah, five net hits. So he uh,
he shrugs, and he turns the gun around. He he
he can't shoot himself with it. It's too big. It
can't be done. He tries, he cries, and like he
you know, he spends around. You can see him, and
you're watching him and you're like, kill yourself. You start
rubbing her nipple and does he gets the cut into
his mouth and it doesn't work, and then he shrugs
again and he just jumps off the building you see
the yellow and hits the ground. Hits the ground right
in front of you guys as you're driving, and like
hits the ground and he's like and then you run
over him and his head explodes like a watermelon, and
like he splashes across the windshield like fucking what was
his name, Anton, fucking whatever?
Speaker 1: Uh And he.
Speaker 7: Explodes across the windshield like a watermelon and a bucket
of paint. He's like, oh man, uh and he just explodes.
Speaker 5: And we're good, guys, we can keep going.
Speaker 7: Little gob of them fling across and spill down the
side of the van and they go in through the
hole and through the busted out window. Now but he's
busted out now, and it like splatters in and his
his brain gobs mix in with fucking Howard's brain gobs.
It's gross the co mingle and and and they welcome back.
So no, he's dead. He's super dead. And like Sarah's
freaking out of the back. She's trying to like cast
healing spells on him, and like he's already dead, and
she's you can see she's like starting to like overdo it,
and like she's starting to bleed a little bit from
her eyes and nose, and like, uh, you know, she's
just trying to pump everything she's got into him to
try to save him, but it's it's way too late.
He's already he's already dead. He was dead the second
that bullet penetrated his fucking skull. He was probably dead
the moment that he was exposed to those lethal doses
of radiation and just didn't know it yet. But now
he's dead, for real. He's dead, for now, dead, Adam.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would like to, uh look around and see
if we're gonna be ambushed by anything else, if possible,
like I don't know, a helicopter, a fucking police brigade,
maybe a swap van, yes, barricades, tire traps, yeah, the
hounds chasing us on the highway.
Speaker 8: Stop giving him ideas, mande.
Speaker 2: We need we need another highway chase. That's all I'm saying.
So just put it out there. I'm virtually over here,
just like jabbing you with my elbow. Shut up.
Speaker 7: So you start, you start trying to look for those things.
Make a perception rule.
Speaker 2: I can attempt that.
Speaker 4: I just say, Ford is flooring towards what we're supposed
to be going.
Speaker 7: Yeah, you're going, you're going to cool fifty miles an hour.
Speaker 2: Oh success. Sorry, Sorry the edge was on.
Speaker 3: Sorry, Okay, do that.
Speaker 2: Go back one success all right.
Speaker 7: So you're looking out and you're trying to find other ambushes,
and what you see is uh with your cool glasses
and you're like magnifying, magnifying, and you start seeing ants,
like big fucking ants everywhere.
Speaker 2: May I attach this role as well?
Speaker 7: What? And you zoom out? Yeah, you zoomed in too much,
So you zoom out, and like the ants are the
same exact size, and like there's so many of them
swarming over and your lenses are completely covered in ants suddenly,
and then you like you, yeah, you pull off your
glasses and there's no ants, and like you look at
the glasses and there's no ants, and you put them
back on, and then suddenly it's it's pornography. It's just
like pumping through your like.
Speaker 3: With us.
Speaker 7: Yeah, so anybody this guy kind of vision enhancement stuff,
it's just pumped filled with pornography. And like anybody who's
got oh, I think it's all of you guys have
some sort of hearing stuff and that's just pumping pumping
a band called the Locust fucking full maximum volume. And
you guys are like, oh, this is horrible and uh
uh I would assume most of you guys don't like
the locus. Very few people do.
Speaker 10: But when you do, you they reach out to the
to turbo.
Speaker 2: You wouldn't happen to have the Locust on that super
rad playlist, you hear?
Speaker 7: Uh, yeah, I think they've got two songs in there.
Speaker 2: Okay, because you've also got like seventeen and a half
hours work music.
Speaker 7: In there's a yeah, not damn.
Speaker 4: I'll try to take out my RSS or like the
your plugs that we've had, I'll take them sound filters.
Speaker 10: Yeah, just yeah, you're going to reach out right away.
Speaker 7: It's still like it's still loud even when you've got
them like unplugged, Like you hold them like at arm's length,
and you can still hear it very clearly, like it's
like beyond the limitters, and they're like it's like rattling
like a fucking tin can because it's it's just like
shredding the magnets inside, and you try to use your
calm to reach out to them, and like your calm
is just like like blasting like pornography and the locusts
at the same time.
Speaker 2: Fuck, did you catch more pop ups? Is that what's
going on? Unfortunately the year.
Speaker 3: The gear head.
Speaker 4: Positive quality to increase the speed of the car from
a total of two to a three.
Speaker 5: Okay, can I can I make the car invisible?
Speaker 7: Uh No, that's not gonna work on a car, Okay,
because it's a van, dummy. Oh I got.
Speaker 10: Telep fan, fucking idiot.
Speaker 2: It's like an airbus change, Magico.
Speaker 7: Here's this guy anyway. You're not gonna you're never gonna
find him, but here he is, just in case.
Speaker 16: Nice, You're never gonna find him, but I made ai
R just in case.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Just kids, He's like fucking he's sucking up all of
your ship and like your car, like your car. I'm sorry,
excuse me, your fan? Uh it is. He's trying to
like take over the van. So like the the manual
control of the vehicle is for whatever reason, like the
lowest priority, so like like he can remote take it
over easier than you can actually drive it physically. So
you end up having to plug in in order to
kick him out.
Speaker 3: Okay, so I guess I'm into the car down.
Speaker 7: Yeah, so you plug in and it kicks him out
because like the van starts to like slow down and
you're like stepping on the gas and it's like not
doing anything, like what the fuck, and you like plug
in and then you're able to like override him kick
him out, and it feels like like painful gas that
you burp out as you like force him out of
it because you're experiencing, you know, the the senses of
the vehicle and just like you see the streets as
you're driving and like there's cars, there's traffic. You guys
are like weaving around traffic. It's, uh, you know it's
it's it's nighttime, but like just barely I think it's.
I think it's at this point. It's like around like
six thirty seven PM or something like that, so there's
still you know, people driving home from work and shit,
because it's your dysopian future. The shift is you know,
eight to seven, and you know you're driving and uh
we even between traffic and your sensors are getting like
fucked up, so like you can see, but it feels
like like when you wake up in the morning you've
got like eye crusties and like your eye just like
won't focus right like and you feel like you got gunk.
It's it's that kind of like experience with your sensors.
Like it's like hazy and like weird and uncomfortable and itchy.
Everything feels itchy as this guy's trying to get in
there and fuck up your your vehicle experience. But you're
going and you guys now have your your earbuds taken out.
You can't use your comms, any kind of vision enhancement
stuff is essentially disabled. And then you got a guy.
You guys, look at ma make a perception role, perception
role everybody.
Speaker 3: Boom, oh, three are moving on up in life.
Speaker 7: Nice one trash your trash?
Speaker 2: Uh scar you and I need to roll our two
D six again?
Speaker 5: Oh yeah zero?
Speaker 2: Oh you went, you're reroll that perception?
Speaker 5: No, there you go three successes?
Speaker 10: There we go two for me?
Speaker 2: Yeah, get better than I.
Speaker 7: You see, as as the van is driving, you see
this guy and like you don't see him in your
van senses. There's like a dude standing in the street.
The cars you're moving around him and he's there and
like as you're driving towards him, he's like invisible to
the van, but everybody else can see that got at
least one success. He's standing there and as the van's
getting closer and closer, he's not moving. He's like right
in the way, like he's playing chicken, and he like
fucking draw he draws like a fucking katana, and like
the van's like driving straight at him.
Speaker 3: Wait, I got a success on my perception.
Speaker 7: Uh okay, yeah, fine, you see him all right, as
you get closer.
Speaker 2: He's still doing all those things, still.
Speaker 7: Doing all this ship. But like as you're getting closer
to him, like, uh, you know, like this dude seems
like fuzzy, and then like it snaps into focus and
you can see him, like, oh shit, this guy's like
standing right in the middle of the road and you're
driving at him.
Speaker 16: And I'm like, I'm gonna get I'm gonna fucking lop
an air at himause I know exactly.
Speaker 2: What he's packing.
Speaker 7: Nice.
Speaker 2: I'm shouting sary as we're speeding down the highways of Calms.
I'm trying to scream over everything, like make him a
hood ornament.
Speaker 10: That's not gonna work. I'm gonna shoot him with an
insceniary around.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and then I will attempt to avoid him with
the pilot ground craft.
Speaker 2: Okay, oh no, you should have man to hang out
the side and he should sucking. They should try to
hit each other with the katanas.
Speaker 1: Like a duel.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like like like to samurai, fucking going past each other, right,
and then one of them, Yeah, they stop, and then
one of them just fucking keels over dead. Yeah.
Speaker 10: I think he's trying to cut the entire van in half,
That's what.
Speaker 2: I know that, but it's cut him in abb instead.
Speaker 10: That would be cool, but I don't see that happening.
Speaker 2: You roll like sixteen dice. Come on, man, it's the finale.
You do some crazy shit, use an edge.
Speaker 7: Broke success is no dead. Hits the arrow, and as
the arrows coming at him, this dude fucking takes the
katana and he's got it in one hand and he
takes the fucking scabbard up and he like fucking sweeps
the arrow out of the way, and it like goes
like ping, and it diverts and like it starts to
twist and turn and then slams into like a it's
like a newspaper stand thing, like not like a stand,
but like you know those little newspaper machines, and hasn't
had newspapers in there for like seventy years, but it's
still there and it hits and like it bursts, flames
and sprays as it goes, and like it leaves like
a trail of of of neon bright ass light and
cool and it's cool pedestrians and.
Speaker 2: Even more angry.
Speaker 15: As a pacifist adrenaline boost, I still haven't technically got
to use this.
Speaker 2: Yet, pacifism, because your arrow killed that person.
Speaker 7: You'll have to ask that when you die to whoever
judges your soul, and they will.
Speaker 2: Thinks that to himself. As we're speeding down the highway?
Does that count? Is breaking?
Speaker 4: The pacifism is to try and not just run this
guy over or like do exactly what this guy wants
us to or is this like inevitable?
Speaker 3: You want this guy to cut us in half?
Speaker 7: Oh well, I mean like I would love for him to,
but like it's no, you can. You can. You can
try to drive around it, but uh, because uh it's
soundly scar hit something really cool he was trying to do.
Speaker 3: No, No, I just want to know. I want to know, like.
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, no, no, after his turn.
Speaker 16: Yeah, regardless if you try to avoid him or go
run into him, I'm gonna pump adrenaline boost. And I
went to swing onto the hood of the van from
the window with my two micro my two monos.
Speaker 10: Out and charge Ford on top of the van.
Speaker 16: Just as we're getting near him, both weapons out and
my mantis post diving at him in the air.
Speaker 7: Oh fuck dude in front of the van. Fuck yes,
have an edge point? Fuck yeah? All right. So yeah,
you get there and you get in the position, and uh, Ford,
you make a driving test. You're gonna try to avoid
this guy.
Speaker 3: Well, if I see.
Speaker 4: Him doing that, because my reflections are pretty good, I'm going.
Speaker 3: I am going to and that's with the plus three because.
Speaker 4: Of hot sim Basically, I'm gonna try and swing the
back of the car around and hit him in the
back and push him towards mantis.
Speaker 3: Oh for six successes.
Speaker 7: You got to see them? Yeah, I see him.
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, oh yeah, all.
Speaker 16: Right, and uh I'm gonna pre edge these blades and
his face.
Speaker 7: Get get get plus six successes or plus six dice
to your your pool.
Speaker 3: So many dice.
Speaker 10: Nine successes.
Speaker 7: Okay, you didn't want to do this, you didn't make
your You have to do it off your weapon. Oh
oh sh wait, hold on, hold on, before you do,
before you do, are you attacking with multiple swords.
Speaker 10: I'm I'm technically doing one attack.
Speaker 7: Well, okay, hear me out. If you attack with multiple sorts,
you can split your dice pool and do multiple attacks
right right.
Speaker 10: But there's a negative to that, isn't there?
Speaker 2: Well?
Speaker 13: Yeah, yeah, you have, you have.
Speaker 7: If you're edging and you've got six extra to add
to it, it's a pretty big fucking pool.
Speaker 2: Okay, I have a question.
Speaker 10: I don't know how that's going to translate, but I'll
do that.
Speaker 2: So it's if he if he does that, Adam, Let's
say he had all four sorts out, he made four attacks.
Does the guy get negatives for the other three attacks
after the first? Yep?
Speaker 3: Ah and dice.
Speaker 10: Yeah, okay, you mind had the guide me through out
of this.
Speaker 16: But so, and since I'm doing multiple texts, then as
I get close to some kind of magical energy that
we all.
Speaker 5: Know Mantis obviously has because he's cool.
Speaker 16: He all of a sudden pivots in the air and
starts to spin.
Speaker 2: And becomes like a saw general grievous almost.
Speaker 10: So, what am I doing? One role?
Speaker 4: Well, okay, twenty six total dice and you can split
that between the two attacks as you'd.
Speaker 7: Like, or up to four attacks, as you've got the
four swords, so it's up to you.
Speaker 10: Well, yeah, let's do thirteen each. So how do I have?
I am just doing a raw thirteen.
Speaker 7: What's your total pool?
Speaker 3: Twenty six, twenty six?
Speaker 7: So yeah, two at thirteen.
Speaker 5: Wow, and they both get the benefit of bench.
Speaker 7: Yep, they both they both have explodey sixes.
Speaker 2: Feels so good. You're edging thirteen thirteen and six.
Speaker 7: Oh wow wow wow wow.
Speaker 4: Okay, and then on the first attack, you get to
reroll two of those sixes.
Speaker 7: Yeah, you get two extra. So the first tacks got one, two, three,
four already, so get two more dice five six, roll
another one.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, he rolled another six, folks.
Speaker 7: Okay, so you got six in the first one. So
here I'm gonna put a six there. And then the
other one's got one two, three, two, three four five
with three extra rerolls, so give me three extra dice.
Speaker 2: And that's the exploding sixes from the edge right six.
Speaker 7: So both of them have six, six and six.
Speaker 2: Wow damn.
Speaker 7: All right, so let's see how he does. And this
guy has not yet an attack, so he's got his
uh he was attack?
Speaker 5: Was he man shot at him, and then.
Speaker 7: You're right, right, you're right, You're right, You're right. So
you're so fast.
Speaker 10: I will be exhausted after this.
Speaker 5: Okay, just so you guys know, I'll feel you.
Speaker 2: You've been saving this for the finale. Avint you?
Speaker 7: Okay. So the first one's two net hits. The second
attack and this is with minus. Here we go to
subtract from all these attacks three net hits. So he
has to soak what's the what's the the damage value?
And armor penn.
Speaker 10: Nine nine DV and armor pen is negative three?
Speaker 7: Okay, so negative three three.
Speaker 2: Sounds pretty good.
Speaker 8: So nine DV so eleven total EP three for the
first one and then twelve for the second.
Speaker 7: Why is this not brobably? Soak armor pen negative three?
There it goes. So the first one's eleven and how
much dammache was it? I'm sorry, so it was it
was nine, and then you had three net so it
was twelve. Yeah, okay, So he takes he takes one
one physical damage. You're chipping, you're chipping away. Next attack,
eleven successes, it's pretty funny. Good seven seven successes. So
that one was the better one, right, So you had
three so uh yeah, thirteen minus seven, So he takes
five six, You take six, Fine, there you go. He's
still up. He's still up, but he's hurting, dude, like
you fucking swirl like a like ay goddamn garbage disposal.
And uh, he is doing his best to try to
keep up, trying to trying to get in there. But
you're you have too many sorts. He has know how
to deal with all these fucking sorts. And you land gracefully.
The van is now sideways and not in the right direction,
and uh, the other guys are in there. Uh knuckles,
you're you're cruising by on the motorcycle. You're gonna keep
running or what's going on?
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take a cheap shot with the wrench.
Speaker 7: Okay, all right, give me.
Speaker 2: A cheap epic fucking fight going out of that. The
wrench clunk him in the back of the head. All right,
I gotta find the wrench. Where are you?
Speaker 7: All right?
Speaker 2: Here? We got Colonel Mustard in the conservatory. Should I
know I'm gonna I'm gonna save it.
Speaker 7: Oh, you know what's gonna happen, leslie.
Speaker 4: Let's see, he's got a bunch of negatives because he
was attacked that's true.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's why, man, you could do it.
Speaker 3: We believe in you.
Speaker 7: See you got he's got one success, so you got one, nethot.
Here we go, here we go right again. It takes
for stun damage.
Speaker 5: That's enough to add an extra negative.
Speaker 7: Right it is. And you hit him and he's like,
oh ship and then.
Speaker 2: Question why is it stun damage.
Speaker 7: Because it's less than his armor failure?
Speaker 2: Okay, gotcha, gotcha?
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Uh so you you go got him and you're looking
back and then suddenly your front wheel locks and you

front wheel lock up, and you go oh, and you
grab on with all of your weight and you and
you throw your weight and momentum into it. You lean
forward hard and then you push and the thing fucking
flips comes back down onto the back wheel, and then
you gun that ship.

Speaker 7: Oh my god, But you're going and like it, dude,
You're like trying to steer, but it's like tough because
you know, you've got no your front wheels where you
steer from and it's in the air, and uh, but
you're like shifting your weight and uh doing a cool
thing where you're like, you know, you got one foot
hanging off the back like you're standing on the back
of it, and you're your one foot's loose and you're
using it like a rudder on a boat to drive
to steer, and uh, you got another fourteen blocks to go.
Speaker 8: Okay, can I can I ask my spirit to find
that person who's fucking with our comms?
Speaker 7: Like it's you don't know, you don't know who, and
so there's no way for you to send it to them.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 7: Also, your spirit has no clue how the internet works.
It's completely incompatible, just.
Speaker 2: Like all my clients, just like volt.
Speaker 5: Actually I feel a kinship with it.
Speaker 7: I get it, buddy, I get it. But yeah, so
this guy's still up. So we're gonna get initiative real
fast here and see how well this goes.
Speaker 4: Actually is is enhanced reflexes still up?

Speaker 8: So you should have whatever plus like five plus two
plus like a total of two D six.
Speaker 7: Oh, you gotta get your drag your dudes out so

Speaker 2: Uh huh yeah all right, fine.
Speaker 7: So yeah, yeah, fine, the Matrix hands and cool stuff.
Speaker 3: Fine, all right forty first, I love period.
Speaker 4: I mean, I guess it's it's a free action if
I recall correctly.
Speaker 3: To pop out of hots and yeah.
Speaker 4: Cool, and then I'll grab my my, my, oh a
pistol o AE pistol and I'll burst fire.
Speaker 7: Okay, yeah, my oy a pistol.
Speaker 3: With the A P D S rounds because that's what's
loaded in.
Speaker 7: You're not going to force this dude out of his body.
Speaker 4: Oh one success wait? Oh sorry, sorry, I did the
full automatic and that's not what I meant to do.
Speaker 7: I'm sorry. Or successes okay, okay, so he's got one
T through four okay.
Speaker 4: So yeah, now I will do it as a complex action,
so that will.
Speaker 3: Because that's the machine pistol.
Speaker 7: So that's oh you did that burst?
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, the machine pistol only fires or full matic.
Speaker 7: Okay, so the burst the burst is three rounds, so
that it's gonna be another minus two. So here we go.
Let's roll this way. Uh, you got nothing, no hits,
so you got four four net.
Speaker 3: The second action to do it again?
Speaker 7: Uh, you can't do that.
Speaker 4: Well, it's a simple action to burst fire the three
or a complex to do six.
Speaker 7: Uh, you have to split the pool to do multiple attacks.
I think, uh yeah, you know what, fuck it, go
for it, go for it, do another one. Six done.
You know what, don't bother y he falls down or
you can bother your call.
Speaker 2: Yeah, bother the hell out of this guy.

Speaker 3: Run him over with the car.
Speaker 7: Yeah, he can't defend.
Speaker 3: H So two successes, So that's another because it's.
Speaker 7: Gonna roll with a minus ten nothing so and six
more stun and he is dying.
Speaker 4: It's just like like like you know, drive by style,
Like I put my arm out the window with the
machine pistol and start shooting him in the back of
the head.
Speaker 7: Yeah, he's got a helmet.
Speaker 3: He's got a helmet.
Speaker 7: But like as you're shooting him, he's like, hey, it's
nothing serious, it's just biss And then he drops down
to the ground. You're like, but you get him, You're
take him down. You guys drive and you drive, you
drive you guys through.
Speaker 2: Uh what can I see? What's jammed the tire or
did he cut it or what?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 2: What's going on?
Speaker 12: Uh?
Speaker 7: No, the the the break is engaged. After a little
after you get a decent distance that it stops being engaged.
You get out of range of the guy that's all up.
Speaker 2: In your dick. That's a brilliant idea. Yeah, you know what,
he can have a point edge. All right, he takes it.
Speaker 7: But you guys, as you guys get out of range,
all of your you know, all of your comms, stop
pumping out the you know, the locust and U you know,
all of you guys get a message. He says, I
tried my best. Just biz right, good luck.
Speaker 2: I will give him one thumbs up emoji.
Speaker 8: Ipe a long corporate email into the text method, Shane,
rating him like a like a low level new entry
level employee.
Speaker 7: You get a thing bag. It's like, hey man, the
money's good like it's you know, and you guys, you
got better than me. So hey, good luck out there
no hard feelings. I hope the guys ever need help.
You know, you guys seem good. Here's my digits. Let
me know, go by disco hit me up. Good luck out.
Speaker 10: Let's call a guy who failed his job.
Speaker 2: That sounds good.
Speaker 7: I don't.
Speaker 2: It's not that he failed his jobs that we're just
fucking better than him.
Speaker 10: We're just that badass.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, you're right, you're right.
Speaker 8: Right, So we need to find someone equally bad ass,
and he's just not it.
Speaker 2: I mean, but maybe we can elevate him to reach
his potential. Sean got turbo laser. I don't see turbo
laser fucking helping us right now. We didn't.
Speaker 10: He didn't shut that down.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, initiative, man, this guy shown initiative. He's like, hey,
I lost to the better man. I should extend the
olive branch, you know what. I can appreciate that.
Speaker 16: Okay, yeah, yeah, we could use him as a fall
guy later for sure.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I like that.
Speaker 1: I like that.
Speaker 7: I like the way you're thinking.
Speaker 8: Give him the doctor Doom treatment, the list, all of them, man,
all his information to the FBI.
Speaker 7: He'll take your digits.
Speaker 1: Your go.
Speaker 7: So you guys drive for another fourteen blocks, just little
hiccups along the way, but you guys are able to
deal with anything. Apparently you're invincible. I don't know what
I did wrong. I shouldn't have given you guys the drugs.
But you guys get there, you get to the ass
technology pyramid, and Howard's dead. Sarah's like inconsolable. She's uh,
she's just like a just crying and crying and crying,
and you know she's she's giving up on trying to
cast the spells. She's too exhausted to cast of the
spells anymore. And like she's she's like completely wiped, and
you know she's crying. She's crying a little bit of
blood from all the physical damage she's taking from casting
the spells. And you get to the pyramid, and the
pyramid's got it's got a couple of dudes. They're like
heavily armored, like uh uh military looking dudes, and they're
wearing like as technology gear. And as you approach, you know,
they they stop you real quick and they see knuckles
and they're like they you know, they you can't see
anything I'm doing. They see knuckles and they give them
a nod, and then they like hold up a hand
and then the thing raises up and like they step
aside for you to go through, and uh, you know,
they see that like you're the guy in the van,
and they let the van through. And as you guys
start going into the parking garage at the bottom part
of the technology pyramid, there's a bunch of these armed
guards and like they're you know, directing you as you
go to a specific place. And as you get to
the actual place that they want you to stop at,
there's like a place. It's got like a like a
parking space and there's like cone set up and ship
and there's a bunch of these guys standing around. And
you get there and they, you know, one of the
guys gestures feed to park and you guys are gonna park?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, okay, I mean this is damn it.
Speaker 3: You're driving, so I guess you're not parking.
Speaker 7: So you park and knuckles immediately, like you as you
stop and you get off the bike, you know, you
put down the kickstand and you stand up, and like
five of these dudes rush you and like they push
you up against the wall and like they're like shouting stuff,
and you know, they they hold you up and they
drag everybody out of the van. They push everybody up
against the wall, and uh, you know, once they once
they get to handle on the situation, they make sure
everything's cool. Uh you know, they back off and uh
you know they're they they're on guard and like tense,
and you know they got a medic comes down and
like grabs Sarah's like panicking, and you know, they load
her onto a thing and they they get Howard's body
and they put it onto a thing, and you know,
she's she's like, hey, I can't I can't believe this
is happening. Out of this No, this makes sense. And
then like a dude like dozer with a thing, she
like blacks out and they take him away, and a
guy in a suit that's flanked by three more of
these guards comes out and uh, he says, you've delivered
the asset. We considered this mission complete.
Speaker 2: Okay, you didn't care if he was alive or dead?
Speaker 7: Uh him? No, no, no, no, he was just part
of the package. It doesn't matter, he doesn't matter. You
don't laugh, You don't get to laugh.
Speaker 5: Oh hope, but it was funny. Okay, never mind, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: I kind of want Mantis to have both pairs of
hands up in the air because of all the guards
and everything.
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, oh yeah, it says, very good, very good.
I'll contact my employee and let him know.
Speaker 3: You should leave.
Speaker 2: Now. Dust myself off and give these guards a dirty look,
like you fucking let us in here and then you
fucking attack us, like we're like where the bad guys like.
Speaker 5: Run away.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I totally want to these guys. Are
we or are we driving away from these guys? I mean,
I'm hopping. I'm gonna get back on the bike and
I'm gonna wait until everybody else is in the van.
WI the van go first. Yeah, I'm gonna get in
back into the van from the back, and as I
open the doors, the metallic hands are just going to
reach behind and flip the double deuse behind him as
he crawls back into the van.
Speaker 7: You guys, get in, You guys right, you head out.
The rain stops. The full moon. The full moon's in
the sky, shines his beams down the neon lights of
the city, glowing the van. The van holds up, traffic's
clearing up a little bit. The weather's pretty nice, pretty warm.
It's the end of May. It's the end of the
end of this ordeal, the end of your mission, the
end of the job. You guys can head back to
that gross meat plant meet up with mister Johnson.
Speaker 2: The kids.
Speaker 7: Get them wrapped up and ready to go. You get back.
Mister Johnson's there, he's sitting there, He's still wearing that bathrobe.
He's like you're.
Speaker 3: Back with.
Speaker 7: Two hours to spare. He's good, he's good. I take
it everything went well.
Speaker 2: Well if you mean by well we we we we
broke a couple of acts making it could have gone better. Yeah, definitely.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: So did you not need Howard?
Speaker 10: Did you guys only need.
Speaker 5: Sarah and her kids?
Speaker 4: Or what?
Speaker 7: No, the the whole family, that was the package. That
was the deal. Okay, did you not recover him? Oh?
Speaker 5: Well yeah, we got him there, gotten most of them.
Speaker 2: Howard got fucking acete on the way there. And your
boss didn't seem to give two ships. He actually found
her by the bubris.
Speaker 8: In fact, he does your boss normally laugh like a
maniacal villain?
Speaker 7: Or yes, of course we work for US technology.
Speaker 5: Oh so it's just kind of a corporate thing. Okay, yeah,
let's have.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 7: No, no, it's just a cultural thing.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 7: What you do not laugh at jokes? You do not
laugh at humor. It's it's funny.
Speaker 8: You wouldn't consider a man's head being caved in humorous.
Speaker 7: But sure, no, this is awful, This is a tragedy.
Speaker 12: No.
Speaker 7: I was just thinking of a joke I heard earlier.
Speaker 5: M Can you tell it?
Speaker 3: What was it?
Speaker 7: Of course, of course, of course. I Uh, two men
walk into a bar, the third one ducks.
Speaker 5: Give you that.
Speaker 7: Yes, it's a classic. Why did the orange stop running
because it was dead?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 7: Jokes, that's not part of my repertoire.
Speaker 2: Continue.
Speaker 7: The children are here, they have been uh m hm
quiet mostly.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 7: He uh, I believe he's French Man.
Speaker 5: He's uh, he.
Speaker 7: Is gone, he's left. I I can't say that I
miss him. He was uh kept looking at me. Weird.
He uncrosses his legs again and then recrosses him. H.
Speaker 2: So uh should we be concerned? Uh? Because you seemed
concerned like two seconds ago.
Speaker 7: Yes, no, no, this is quite concerning.
Speaker 2: This.
Speaker 7: My arrangement was to deliver the family as a whole. Uh,
I do not understand.
Speaker 2: I mean we we did, but someone sent another team
after us when we.
Speaker 3: Got out of there.
Speaker 5: I who have mardette?
Speaker 3: Though? So?
Speaker 7: Uh were these more of uh?
Speaker 2: Who are these more more runners? Yeah?
Speaker 10: The shadowers are folk.
Speaker 2: I at least too.
Speaker 8: One guy was wearing like a bright yellow jacket. He
was like up on a rooftop and then he fell off.
Speaker 2: You don't have to worry about him anymore.
Speaker 3: Uh, huh.
Speaker 7: That does not sound like his style. Normally this kind
of thing would be handled internally. This must not have
been him. This is concerned. The arrangement was originally for
the whole family, So I must ask you to deliver
the children also to the pyramid in the same fashion,
preferably within the next I believe I've got two hours
and thirty minutes. If you leave now, you should be
able to make it there in about an hour.
Speaker 2: Well, I looked to the others, like, does that seem
like a good idea?
Speaker 5: Mm hmm, I'm gonna gast influence on our fucking Johnson.
Speaker 7: Okay, uh, tell.
Speaker 8: The truth, basically, yeah, tell us really, what the fuck
is going on?
Speaker 7: Tell me how you really feel?
Speaker 5: I got I got three left, one of them.
Speaker 2: I kill yourself, kid joint.
Speaker 5: Here's a side night caps.
Speaker 7: Oh my god, dude, you guys are what happened to you?
You guys used to be cool?
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 7: So let's see here, he's in NPC's somewhere. Where the
hell did he go? I mean in contexts, In context.
Speaker 2: The facts speak for themselves. Man, He's cast a spell
like six times, and I'm pretty sure five of those
times the suggestion was end your own life.
Speaker 3: Not true, not true.
Speaker 5: It's been three times and it's only succeeded once.
Speaker 2: But how many times has it been attempted? Out of
those three three times? Yeah? So okay, yeah, my case,
your honor.
Speaker 8: I hit my I mean, I've cast it on Sarah
to just knock herself out.
Speaker 5: Uh, the fucking other runner just tell us as plan.
Speaker 7: Yeah, the helicopter turn around.
Speaker 8: The other guys like drive away in their fucking helicopters
when we were on our way to the archeology.
Speaker 2: They probably died because you don't drive a helicopter. So
they're in the other direction.
Speaker 3: Bro, what the fuck?
Speaker 4: I thought?
Speaker 2: At one point the helicopter started turning back around because
the co pilot got controlled.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and then I had to influence that guy too.
I've a told like two people to kill themselves. That's
not rolling for some reason.
Speaker 2: It's going out back when we were younger and not psychopaths.
Speaker 5: Okay, there we go, psychographic.
Speaker 3: I think six successes.
Speaker 7: Okay, what are you? What are you telling this guy
to do?
Speaker 8: Tell us true, what the fuck is going on? And
why are you worried?
Speaker 2: Spill the beans? Buddy?
Speaker 7: He's like I wouldn't let the bean spill. And then
he uncrosses his legs again and then recrosses them.
Speaker 5: When he does that, we see like ball or yeah.
Speaker 7: Absolutely every time he does it, Yeah, you get it.
You get a little flash.
Speaker 2: And uhau looking you know, well.
Speaker 7: He's doing it in such a suggestive way that it's
hard not to look. It's like it's like, uh, you know,
like a train wreck, Like you don't you don't want
to look at it. You have to fro every time
he crosses. Why do I keep looking? Why do we
keep looking in the eye so he uh, he doesn't hurry,
he crosses and recrossing. I can tell you the additional
team that you have encountered is is not likely to
be my the employers, uh doing this is likely some
other third party, fourth party. I'm not sure how many parties.
Speaker 2: I like to party, no party.
Speaker 7: I like the party hard.
Speaker 2: When it's time to party, we.
Speaker 7: Always party hard. And then he's like, ah hah, I
like this one.
Speaker 5: Ok.
Speaker 7: You like classical music? Eh, okay, sorry, pardon me, pardon me? Yes,
the family, the family. The family was the package deal,
the deal. I've been working this job for for Timore.
It's been going on for months. We bought the technology.
He wanted a deal to get his family out, and
that was the deal, and my employer approved, and we
were to get the family out and into the Pyramid,
to relocate and to find him new work for us.
Of course, you understand the corporate contracts at this level
can be very, very hard to break. So this was
the job and I completed it. However, part of the
package deal is the children, and the children must be
delivered to the archive or to the Pyramid. Now, please,
we don't have all day there. If you do, remember
there is a blood panther.
Speaker 5: Looking for us, ignored us.
Speaker 13: Actually, but we are a team.
Speaker 3: Well how do we know? Yeah, I'll get another car.
Speaker 7: H m hm.
Speaker 3: That's gonna be kind of my.
Speaker 4: My goal there is like, I don't want to show
up in the GMC that has a bunch of bullet
holes in it in case they recognize it.
Speaker 3: But if I can just find another.
Speaker 7: Car, Okay, yeah, you'll be able to procure another vehicle,
something easy, something unreasonable, not unreasonable, pardon me, something reasonable,
something average, off the side of the bread.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I'll ga you know, yeah, I need this.
Speaker 2: Yeah, can I want to gather the team together in
a separate area away from Johnson. You, guys, I got
a bad feeling about this. Something doesn't seems right. The
dude like vilgain left.
Speaker 5: I've only seen that in like pretty House.
Speaker 2: I mean, what do you think they're doing with the families?
Speaker 4: I don't know, but they aren't obsessed with Tina because
she's a banishing man. Even if mister Johnson is talking
about Tina like in a really weird way.
Speaker 8: I mean, they may just want to make her into
a blood panther, right, is this the best thing for
the family, what we're doing.
Speaker 4: I'll tell you now, I'm taking we're all still together?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Maybe, but now fuck man, Like, I hate to
split her up from our kids, but I really don't
like the idea of hand them over some fucking monsters either.
Speaker 4: Well, does the understand I have to finish the job,
mister Johnson has to pay me or else mine never
getting my daughter back.
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Fine, And honestly I would put a bullet in both
of these children's heads before.
Speaker 8: I do that.
Speaker 2: Well understandable?
Speaker 17: Uh hm, Hey, uh for you got or any of you?
Speaker 2: Do we have any way that we can like track
these two, like can we hand them over, uh.
Speaker 3: A rapid text and maybe we can one up just
in case.
Speaker 2: You know, I don't know, maybe.
Speaker 5: We're feeling with a corp. Though they're they're gonna know
about things like that. They're probably gonna do a thorough
check on them.
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's about put.
Speaker 4: It into a pizza pocket to make Kevin eat it.
Speaker 7: It always comes back with the pizza pockets man.
Speaker 10: Around the Xbox.
Speaker 4: I don't understand how good those pizza pockets are.
Speaker 7: I don't. I'm gonna have to look into it. If
I can get those in the States, I'm gonna try them.
Speaker 10: Those aren't hot pockets, No.
Speaker 3: They're pizza pockets.
Speaker 2: Well, Adam, you have you can do that, I can't.
Speaker 7: It sounds like a specific thing. We'll figure this out.
We'll figure out the food thing. But put it on
the Xbox, I think is a great idea. Wait wait,
I'm not part of the team. No, I mean, it's
just I don't think they're check I can. I don't
think they'll check the Xbox. I think that's I think that's.
Speaker 5: A good Do you think do you think we might
hear it on it?
Speaker 3: But I don't.
Speaker 5: I don't know, Like there's got to be a man
a berry there.
Speaker 2: Do you think we should, like, I don't know, tell
Kevin something in case like they need some fucking help.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we still got like six those jail broken Chinese
stolen Chinese comlinks. You can give them the number that and.
Speaker 8: Okay, if something bad happens, you just sit me down
one of these six comblinks.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well I guess, uh what if?
Speaker 3: What if?
Speaker 2: Like, is there a way that he could like contact
us through his game? Like they would? You know, I
don't know.
Speaker 8: Yeah, let's go buy an Xbox right now. We'll have
Ford create an account.
Speaker 2: Hell yeah, they called thirty thirty four. Yeah, and we'll
we're thirty eight. You can't realize in the year of
our Lord two thousand and eight, you have the ability
to do voice chat over Xbox sixty.
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, absolutely, And and there's also uh, in current technology,
I can send an Xbox message from my computer, and
I think I can if I if I reinstall the app,
I can send one from my phone to your Xbox.
And so I can send one from your phone to
my Xbox.
Speaker 2: How do you like that? All right? So that's that's
what I suggest. I'd be like, you know, I think
we should probably let him in a little bit what's
going on here, just so like if some ship goes down.
You know, I don't know, call me a softie, but
I feel bad what these people are going through, you know, Yeah,
fucking house gets burned down, Dad gets aced. Fuck knows
what they're gonna do with, you know, Mom and and Tina.
Speaker 5: Right right, I think it's that's a good idea.
Speaker 8: Yeah, And you're definitely a lot softer than I initially
imagined when we'd met up.

Speaker 2: Knuckles looks at her like a godchild sort of thing, right, Like,
if something happened before, he would he would probably take
care of her. You know, I don't know how great
he'd be at it, but he would try. I mean,
we already had the Knuckles Dad episode, the one time
right scolding Kevin to get to Hill the funk out.
Speaker 5: We also gave Howie Eat a live grenade.

you're able to steal it using a USB drive because
they haven't fixed it yet and it's been seventy years,
it's still a problem. But yeah, you plug in a
USB drive and then you're able to start the car
right now, and you drive and you get there and
you take the barrel out of the trunk and uh
PLoP it down, and then you know, the same same
kind of thing happens with these guys. It's a little
bit less aggressive than it was the first time, but
you know, they take the kids and the kids are like,
you know, well, he's he's panicking and they have like
a dolly that they put the barrel onto and they

in is burnt out building and him and him and Volter,
you know, settling back in after you know they're long
couple of weeks that it's been and uh, you know,
your your stash of food that you guys have is
there and like, oh cool, looks like no one's touched it.
You know, we're good and you're setting up and getting
comfortable and uh, you realize that it's gonna be quiet
for a while. You know, there's not anything really going on,
no more action, got the job done. Everything feels uh weird,
kinda kind of ongoing but kind of over. It's a weird,
uh liminal place that you're in. You guys sit there
both on you know those folding chairs that have like
kind of the the the criss cross woven like like
polyester straps, you know, the ones on the middle frames,
and you know you're sitting there and like you got
you know, you're like all right, start the fire and
there's like a little you know, fire and a barrel
when you guys are just sitting there watching the fire,
and it's weird awkward. You got knuckles, and Knuckles is
up in his tiny apartment. You know, you fold down
the cot and you fold up the hangar thing, and
then you know, your trid pops up and starts spinning
up and starts projecting a thing, and you're watching it
and you hear some some noise and you look out
your little window and you see like some guy gets
shot on the street, and you're like, home, sweet home, Yeah,
and you kick your feet up, take off your boots
and your massage and your feet like, you know, you're like,
oh god, it's good to get these boots off. You know,
I've been wearing them for like NonStop, and like your
feet are like finally can breathe. It's nice. Let me
get some more credits. We cut back to Ford and
Ford is trying to talk to Hannah and like she
doesn't answer, and you're you. You get Ford at the
stuffer shack picking up a new burner, trying to call Hannah.
No answer, and you're trying to call, uh, what's what's
Hanna's dad's name? The guy that I was shot, Troy. Yeah,
you try to call Troy, like no answer and like
you call, uh, mister nice guy you call, uh, Sully
Ellis and he's you know, he finally he picks up
and he's like, dude, what the fuck's going on?
Speaker 4: Uh, you'll tell me everybody's gone missing? What the hell
is going on?
Speaker 7: You haven't heard?
Speaker 3: I've thought, well, what did you think?
Speaker 7: I thought? I thought maybe I had something to do
with with what you're you've got going on. They're you
didn't hear.
Speaker 3: No, I assume I did not hear.
Speaker 7: They're they're dead, man. They died, both of them. The
shop's done, it's closed, found them in there, throats, sliced.
Speaker 3: Both of them, useless.
Speaker 7: Then we cut to you cut back to two knuckles.
This is a different time. You know, you're still in
your your apartment. It's banging on the wall next door,
and you're like, oh God, shut the fuck up, and
you look out the window. Another dude gets shot and
go a guy whatever, and then you know, banging on
the wall, banging on the wall, scream and it stops,
and then you know you're a better You fire up
the trade again and there's like all this footage of
you know, the disappearance are still happening in the news,
people getting killed, still going Let me go back to
the Hoboes, the Hobros. That's youtwo. I can't believe it
took this long for me to think of that episode
one Horos. You go back to the Hobros and uh Man,
Mantis is having a hard time, real hard time. All
these this missing time keeps happening. It's coming more frequent
and volt you've noticed that when this happens, it's there's
there's like someone else's driving. There's different personality in there,
and they're they're taking control more often and for longer.
Seems to be a few of them, at least three.
Speaker 5: Have I like figured out any of their separate names.
Speaker 7: I don't know, not yet. They all they all get
real concerned when it happens, and they're all weird about it.
But at least three different distinct well four, including the
one that you know coming through when it happens. Sometimes
sometimes he gets violent, sometimes he just wanders away. Every
once in a while you catch him doing taxes. It's
real fucking weird.
Speaker 2: I feel like Mantis and Mantis and Mantis have a
conversation with themselves.
Speaker 5: Support group of Mantis is just trick getting tattoos.
Speaker 3: Momental Style picked up the dry cleaning.
Speaker 7: Mantis. You go to your regular meetup that you're supposed
to do with your old pal Watsie. You go to
the burger place usually see him every other just sit down,
catch up a little bit, and he doesn't show up.
You try calling him. He has an answer. You end
up going to his place. You find him. From your
experience as a cop, you would assume he's probably been
dead for about three days. Throat slit. There's a note.
There's a note pinned to him, says something in a
language you don't understand, but you got a calm link
and so you can hold it up and you can,
you know, scan it with the translate thing. It's written
in like the the Asalana or Spanish. It says, I'm
coming for you.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 5: This is his eyes narrow dramatically.
Speaker 7: Has your eyes narrow dramatic. That's it. Now we're done.
The end.
Speaker 2: No, No, post credits scene.
Speaker 7: No, and then yeah, and then you guys wait and
you wait and you wait, and the credits finish. In
the post credits scene, it's you, guys, hear some loud.
The door opens up and Jimmy Jimmy pops out of
the bathroom's like, that's it, that's the end. Get out
of here. What are you doing? That's it, that's over,
Go home, Come.
Speaker 3: On, brilliant, Bravo.
Speaker 2: Wow, I haven't. I haven't gotten to the end of many,
many campaigns in any sort of fashion in my day, Adam,
So it is quite refreshing to have a group now burnout.
So thank you.
Speaker 7: Yeah, oh yeah, well, thank you guys. Thank you guys
so much for playing Chuck dude. Thanks for like the
perfect timing uh and uh and helping us out and uh,
you guys have been It's been an honor, a privilege,
in a blast and a lot of fun. And I'm
said for it to be over, and I look forward
to the future.
Speaker 2: Well yeah, well that's that's it, listeners. For now, there
is there's probably gonna be a chapter to a shadow
Run at some point in the in the show's future,
so stay tuned. But if you want more shadow Run
action aside from all the other shows and podcasts we've
plugged over the last couple of weeks. As Adams said,
they recorded their first episode tonight of a new show
we're gonna be putting on the Patreon probably in the
next month or two. So if you want to get
double your money. We're gonna have two shows going on
on the Patreon for a while. One of them is
gonna be a new shadow Run which is gonna focus
on the group that Ford is hired to try to
find his daughter. So we're gonna see Haggis and another
group of shadow Runners trying to solve that mystery, and
eventually that will come come free to everybody. Probably not
for a while though, so if you want to get
first DIBs on that and listen to it. If you
need more shadow Run in your life, stop by the
Old Dragons Greed Patreon and check out our great worm tear.
Other than that, players, thank you all for playing along. Aaron,
it's been great having you for our first full campaign
here with you as a player, so it's been excellent.
Welcome to the family and Scar and Sean as always,
pleasure having you guys along for the ride. And Adam,
thank you so much for taking some some work off
my plate and running a game. Your your knowledge and
enthusiasm of Shadow Run is an infectious man.
Speaker 7: Good guy. I had this opportunity.
Speaker 5: Getting back in the Shadow Run man.
Speaker 2: Thank you. It's nice. Nice to have not been in
the g set for once too. It's nice to play.
Speaker 7: I'm happy I can provide you with it.
Speaker 2: Hell yeah man, so uh so yeah, listeners, I guess well,
next the next two weeks you will be hearing our
one shots that we recorded throughout Shadow Run when we
had to miss a day. So next week is going
to be is it Zomba side first or Wrath and Glory?
I don't remember which is coming.
Speaker 4: First, So yeah, it's just weird because I just we
just finished editing it last week, so it's everything's out
of order.
Speaker 2: But so we're gonna have one shot at Zombi side. Sean, Aaron,
Matt and a very old school friend is going to
come back on the channel for that, So stick around
if you're a fan of Gallows Geist. We got one
of the OG members back, and then we've got another
one shot after that of Wrath and Glory some more
Warhammer forty thousand action. I'm running both of those, and
the Wrapping Glory game is what I'm gonna running at
a Deptcon this year, which by the time you hear this,
I think a depthicon probably have already happened. But if
you want some more more forty k action, this time
from the side of the Imperials and the Space Marines.
Check that out, and then once that is done, we
are finally, yes, finally, returning to Alien and we are
gonna have some video. Finally, we're gonna have actual video
content courtesy of OBS and scars knowledge and maybe maybe
some streaming. We'll see if we can get that figured
out by then. I can't promise that, but I can
promise video. Kyle's put together some excellent artwork for it,
and you'll finally get to see our beautiful bearded mugs.
There's a lot of beard, a lot of beard and
facial hair in this, so as it should be. So
I will be back in the GM's chair for Heart
of Darkness, and then once that is done, that'll finish
up the Draconas String trilogy. We're gonna dive into the
Colonial Marine campaign and then we'll see what happens after that.
So that'll probably keep us going for a couple months.
I imagine, probably up until or through summer, and I'll
just see how the schedule goes. So thank you all
for sticking with us and checking out a new system,
a new universe. Its been very cool, very fun. And uh,
I think that's it for tonight. So Chuck, thank you
for joining us. Me oh man, like you guys are
a blast to play with live like listening to y'all.
And then all of a sudden, Oh shit, I get
to play. Oh my god, I get to play like
I feel playing with guys. Awesome. Man, it was like this,
I'm so jazzed, Like I'm over here, like do I
say anything to anybody else? Do I keep this to myself?
I already know how this thing happen. Oh my god?
Speaker 5: What definitely brag about it? I mean that's always.
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm already over here pimping the hell out
of as the sixth World Turn, So you know, why not?
Speaker 3: Why not brag exactly?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, are you playing in uh in Aaron's Adam's
other game?
Speaker 3: Or is that?
Speaker 2: Is that a different crew Adam?
Speaker 7: Uh? That is that is different? That one's got? Uh

other shows? Uh so uh the uh uh Ridian he's
been here a few times. He's the the GM from
Pride Against Prejudice And we've got doctor Friendship from the
Sinless Podcast. Is uh the other player? And then Sean
from here and and me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we've got a little bit of a little
bit more cross pollination going on too.
Speaker 7: So cross Polynesian.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love well, You're always welcome back, Chuck. I'm
sure there'll be more, uh more opportunities in the future.
So yeah, let me know the next time Scarter size
he doesn't want to show up on Got It, and
feel free to lurk on the channel and you can
stay in touch with all of us. And uh I
think that's it, folks. I think we've talked enough. This
is more than enough for me to edit again. So
thank you all once more, and we will see you,
same time, same place. Ninety nine
