huge news, more good news. So I haven't gotten our
weekly numbers from Speaker in a while. I don't know why,
they just haven't been sending them. They just stopped for
like a month, but got them for the first week
of February. Last time we were checking on numbers, we
were inching around six fifty downloads a week. Well we
are up to eight hundred and eleves in the first
week of February. Massive, massive jump. So thank you all
listeners wherever you're listening from, whatever one of our shows
you're listening to. I'm sure part of it has to
do with the Shadow Run hype, because our numbers have
definitely jumped since we started this, so Adam, thank you
for bringing your knowledge and enthusiasm to it because it's
certainly been helpful. And yeah, if you're listening to another show,
we appreciate that. Gallas Guy still gets a lot of hits.
Our alien stuff is usually all over the place, too,
so we've got plenty more of that in store this
coming year, so really appreciate it.
Speaker 3: Listeners.
Speaker 1: You guys are really helping the channel grow and it's
really cool to see. So we're gonna keep churning out
more stuff and we got a lot of cool plans
this year, so thank you, Thank you for that.
Speaker 2: It's a big, big deal. Oven and Matt, I think
we can.
Speaker 1: Do our usual introductions, so tell us who you are,
who you're playing, and anything else you want to share
with the listeners.
Speaker 2: We'll start it off with Aaron. What's going on, man?
Speaker 4: Not too much. I'm just having a week, I don't know,
not the best week of my life. But that's all right,
you know.
Speaker 1: Sorry, man, we're rooting for you, and uh yeah, you're
not alone, man, trust that.
Speaker 4: No, I get that. No, I appreciate you guys and everything,
but no, I am excited. Did I have going on? Oh?
I wanted to talk about the movie mystery Man because
I watched.
Speaker 5: It this Oh yes, so good, so good.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Okay, So when I was a kid, I watched that
movie so much that I destroyed two VHS copies of it.
And when I started going to therapy, I had to
talk about it twice because William Hmci looks like my dad.
I fucking love this movie, and I forgot how much
I love this movie till this week. So if you
have anything to do, listeners, and and also fellow players,
go watch mystery Man. The best movie ever made.
Speaker 2: Okay, mystery Man all right on the list.
Speaker 3: I speaking of movies.
Speaker 1: I did finish Grand Turismo and it stayed awesome throughout
the entire film. Uh So, if you haven't seen it,
check it out. It's definitely worth a watch. I have
nothing else to see.
Speaker 3: David Harbor uh in action again.
Speaker 2: But it was pretty good.
Speaker 5: Love David.
Speaker 2: No, he doesn't.
Speaker 3: He didn't need to.
Speaker 2: He didn't need to.
Speaker 3: Okay, just curious. I mean, I'm like, I'm not, I
don't care. I just think that maybe somebody who's listening
might be interested. Note do you see his feet?
Speaker 1: Yeah, because he's a mechanic, so you do actually see
his feet at one point, So anyway, Uh, and who
are you playing tonight?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm gonna be Jacques Mlar. He's an autumn mechanic
and a terrible, terrible father.
Speaker 2: Oh sound, we're gonna see his feet too.
Speaker 5: What does that sound so dirty? Is that his name
of play on something?
Speaker 6: And I'm just dumb, but it sounds so dirty?
Speaker 7: Yeah, it sounds like you know, been me over there.
Speaker 4: No, it's just a random name. I thought of him,
like what's the French name? And I'm like Jack, I
don't think it sounds dirty.
Speaker 2: I think Scar's mind is in the gutter.
Speaker 4: So welcome at the art. He's looking at the character
art and going like I wish it was dirty too much?
Speaker 2: Too much? Scar?
Speaker 5: Yea, oh god, now it's bad. Thank you for reminder.
Speaker 4: You're welcome.
Speaker 2: Yeah, tell us about your trauma, Scar, who are you?
Speaker 1: And show us on the space brain where Scar Brand
hurts you?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 7: Yeah, Sean a Scar, And I'm gonna be playing uh
Sev Sivilios a ka mantis.
Speaker 5: Who knows what he actually does? But I have to
ask though, I mean.
Speaker 7: We brought up David Harbor, and who is the better
hell Boy, David Harbor, Ron Perlman, I need to know from.
Speaker 3: Ron Perlman.
Speaker 1: I mean, look, David Harbor did a great job, but
I think just you know, Ron Pearlman, he's got a
bit more of a filmography. I think, you know, he's
got a bit more of a history, and he he
got the chance to do it first.
Speaker 4: So it helps.
Speaker 5: And he already looks like.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and prosthetics. All they had to do was paint
him red. He's even gotten the horns, yeah, and the tail.
I okay, so here here's the deal, right, Uh? I know, Chris,
you got you got some plans and things you want
to do. We should do a spinoff podcast where we
just just talk about with movies and TV for a while.
I would listen to it because I think, I think
my opinions are very interesting and I would love to
hear them.
Speaker 2: With all the time I have.
Speaker 3: But we'll certainly do that, oh man. But no, like
Ron Pearlman is, hell Boy was like perfect perfect. Uh,
David Harbor didn't do a bad job. The movie was
not good, but David Harbor did fine. I think everybody
in that movie did fine. I just I feel like
they tried to cram three movies into one movie.
Speaker 7: The special effects and the one with with Yeah, it
wasn't it wasn't the greatest with David Harbor.
Speaker 5: But he was.
Speaker 3: The second one, the second one with Ron Pearlman, the
Elf King guy uh is supposed to be and they
couldn't get the legal rights to it. It's supposed to
be Elric of Melnibbine. If you don't know who that is,
read a fucking book. Supposed to be It would have
been better if philistine.
Speaker 7: It would have been better if maybe if Gimo del
Toro did the third.
Speaker 5: Anyway, and and and other news.
Speaker 7: I I played Frontier Scum for the first time Friday.
Speaker 8: Uh.
Speaker 7: That is a weird Western Morkborg adjacent's role playing game
that was tons of fucking. The book itself is like
an old Western catalog style with a bunch of gritty,
nasty things in it.
Speaker 9: It was.
Speaker 5: It was a blast. I'm proud of my party.
Speaker 7: They didn't kill a child, which is a lot to
ask sometimes, so it was.
Speaker 2: It was a good night, okay.
Speaker 6: Nobody handed the child the grenade either.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if I would call it
a good night if there wasn't any harm.
Speaker 2: Uh, you know to young uns, but you know, teachers off.
Speaker 7: So not only did they not kill a child that
was trying to kill them they long story short, but
they also did not they opted every other option to
not kill a dog, okay, which I was also proud
of them.
Speaker 3: Afferent story.
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you kill a dog, you're you know.
Speaker 10: A pure monster and you deserve to be murdered.
Speaker 3: So yeah, that's about saying, all right, cool?
Speaker 2: Uh who else we got Sean.
Speaker 3: Loo come back?
Speaker 9: Yeah, I had to be back.
Speaker 10: I'm Sean and I'm playing Franklin Nichols goes By Fault,
the street made who actually lives on the streets.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 10: I spent the day hanging out with Chris and one
of our friends, Travis, and I got to play my
Tomb Kings finally, and boy, oh boy is that fun.
Speaker 3: That sounds really sarcastic.
Speaker 9: It was actually a great time.
Speaker 4: It's just.
Speaker 9: That chaos guy.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I'd have to figure out how to how to
kill him.
Speaker 9: Even killing blow didn't do it, So I.
Speaker 2: Mean you almost had him.
Speaker 3: I made made a five plus ward save at the
very end of the game and he didn't get decapitated.
Speaker 2: But I could have that could have gone south that
either way.
Speaker 10: But yeah, the new rules for tum Kings definitely make
him feel really good. Uh, the tomb King curse still
sucks and is workless yep.
Speaker 9: I don't know why they actually nerved.
Speaker 3: It, but can confirm still trash. Well.
Speaker 10: Other than that, I've been playing a lot of Mass
Effect recently. You try to try to beat it out
insanity so I can get the achievements.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, now you're talking my language.
Speaker 3: Ye Chriss's pretty easy.
Speaker 10: Second one a lot more tedious, for sure.
Speaker 1: I tried doing insanity on my first playthrough in Mass
Effect one, and you literally can't do it, Like you
have to have a character who's gone through the game
at least once. Like the first fight of those three
guys outside the nightclub, it took me like five minutes
to kill one guy. Like that's how little damage you do,
and it's like this, this is never gonna happen.
Speaker 3: So yeah, all right, so here I'm gonna I'm gonna
hijack again because I have I have no self control. Uh, listeners,
here comes spoilers for Mass Effects, So take a moment
to plug your years. If you haven't played this game
that's been out for I don't know, like a decade
old h check this out. You know how the ship
gets like shot down at the beginning of this mass
effect too, yeah? Right, And then if you lay through
all the way through two and three and you get
the good ending for three, at the very end, you
see Shepherd go and like take a deep breath the
very very last second. Everything that happens between the ship
getting shot and that breath is all in Shepherd's fucking
limbo situation. That's why you go to a club called
the Afterlife, and that's why you go to like, uh,
I forgot what the other club was called, Second, the
third one. All of that shit, it's all in you.
Speaker 1: You're one of those people that thought Shepherd wasn't doctrinated too,
didn't you?
Speaker 2: You're one of those people.
Speaker 3: No, because it was a hallucination. M m okay, but yes,
absolutely of course.
Speaker 1: Come on, all right, Well, back on planet Earth, where
we believe in fasts and not fake news, we will
uh not being attention and instead we will talk to Dan,
who has returned as another special GATS.
Speaker 2: We're much more excited to have you here than Adams, So.
Speaker 3: I'm joking.
Speaker 8: You got over, Yeah, I mean, I I can try
to run your your book. I'm fine, just just send
me the PDF. I'll figure it out. If not all
homeber the bitch. So I actually sat with uh Sinless
and did watch a movie called Upgrade, Upgrade I got.
Speaker 3: I got to watch like half of that before I
had to disconnect. It was so good.
Speaker 9: It got so.
Speaker 8: It was very much in the beginning, I was in
and out because I was doing some other stuff, and
it was like all right, and then it was like,
want to hit a certain point. I was sitting at
my computer and I was just eyes glued to the screen.
Speaker 5: It was absolutely amazing.
Speaker 3: As soon as the thing with the knife happens, I
was just like, I'm like, oh my god, I need
to like, this is amazing. And then and then I'm like, oh,
I've gotta I gotta go do things.
Speaker 8: Yeah. I actually bought a copy of it the DVD wall.
The movie was still playing. I went on again.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I gotta get it. I gotta get a copy.
It's it man, that movie Super under the Radar. It's
it's fun.
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's very much fly by wire style combat is
the way it is the only way I can explain
their combat style on It is very fly by wire
if you understand shadown, it's the everything is just quick
movements and the combat in that is just bought on,
like amazing.
Speaker 2: And who are who are you playing tonight?
Speaker 8: I am playing Maggot Mike, your friendly neighborhood doc.
Speaker 2: And uh, where can people find your show?
Speaker 8: You can find What the Dice on all major streaming platforms.
We're also on YouTube. I Twitch stream every Tuesday and Thursday.
Currently doing a cyberpunk run with rim World. We are

and then if you want to just find us quickly
if you go to What the Dice dotweeble dot com
and that's actually our website and I have all of

Speaker 2: We will have links again in the show notes.
Speaker 1: If anybody wants to check that out, we encourage you
to do so, especially if you want some more cyberpunk

Speaker 2: So good to have.
Speaker 3: You back, Dan.
Speaker 1: We're very excited. And I guess now we have to
hear from Adam, So yeah, he's the GM. That's all
you need to know.
Speaker 3: Moving on, Sorry, I'm Adam, what's going on? I regret
to inform you that I'm Adam, I'm your game master.
Let's see, I don't know I'm gonna be playing everybody
that these guys are playing. And what have I been
up to you? Man? My daughter spent the last couple
of nights at Granny's house, so I got to have
like like unsupervised, unsupervising time for the first time in
a long while. And I got to go and play
a little bit of a role playing game called Wrath
and Glory. It's the current Warhammer forty K role playing
game in person with people. I had pizza, I had beer.
Chris was there, and and that guy Travis that was
mentioned earlier I met him. He was cool. Yeah, it
was a blast, dude. That game is if if you
are a fan of Warhammer forty K and you want
to play a role playing game. Up until very recently,
I would tell you the only way to go is
like Dark Heresy. But now I will say that this
Wrath and Glory game it's it's fun, it's quick, it's
easy to play, and you've got a lot more options,
and it's cool. Man. It's uh. I like it. I like, yeah,
it was.
Speaker 2: It was good.
Speaker 1: It was good to get around the table again. That's
the first time I've done it with people since before
COVID started, So yeah, it's been it's been a long time,
and it was a fucking blast. So yeah, that was awesome.
We were glad to have you too. Thanks for making
the trek out there.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, man, oh yeah, so let's see I did that.
I've been man. I've been listening to still Shadow Run
origins because there's a lot of it and I'm getting
through that. And got to listen to some of the
guest gms. That was pretty cool. I've been listening to Sinless,
that's pretty cool. It's another shadow Run podcast. I think
I may have mentioned them last time. I'm not sure,
but that one's fun. It's another a little bit earlier
in the timeline than where we are at, but I
like it. They're still there in Seattle. Most of the
other ones that I've listened to are not in Seattle,
but they're in Seattle too, so I don't know. Maybe
some kind of crossover stuff. I don't know. We'll see
what happens. But got I got that and a brand
new one that just hit the streets, I suppose called
as the Sixth World turns I don't know if you
guys heard me mention that as a trade show that
I think it was Knuckles was watching a few episodes back.
Apparently I accidentally stole the name from a thing that
was in development. So hey, as the sixth World turns
at this point, they probably got a couple episodes out there.
Check them out. Cool dudes, all of them. I've been
talking to those guys. They're really cool dudes. And man,
what else? Been watching the newest season of True Detective,
which is man on a scale from one to ten
of how much I enjoy the show, I got to
give it like a fucking sixty five, Like, oh my god, Like,
I don't know if any of you guys. Have any
of you guys watched True Detective. No, not yet. If
you haven't watched True Detective, then fuck you. But the
first season of True Detective with it's got like Woody
Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey. Uh that first season, Yeah, dude,
the first season of True Detective was like absolutely amazing,
absolutely amazing. It's like a like a detective show with
a bunch of dramatic stuff going on. It spans like
a couple of decades and the case that they're dealing
with has some occult overtones, but it's all grounded enough
that it could be realistic, but like it's it's it's
kind of skews slightly into the uh esoteric. Then the
second season came out and I didn't watch it. It was crap.
The third season came out and it was pretty good.
It's got what's his name, Marshall Ali. He plays like
an older detective that's got like all Zheimer's or dementia
or something, and he's trying to like reanalyze an old
case and like it's you know, parts are missing because
his brain is destroying itself. But like that was real interesting,
but like real kind of straightforward, nothing, nothing too weird.
This new one is getting real fucking weird. It's in Alaska.
There's there's like a like an ice block that's got
a whole bunch of dead dudes in it that like
are naked and like we're bleeding from their ears.
Speaker 4: It's like, what the.
Speaker 3: Fuck's going on? And people are seeing ghosts and shit.
And it ties directly in with the first season in places.
I don't want to spoil it, but there's tie ins instantly.
Speaker 4: So it is so good.
Speaker 2: Is each season like a different castaf.
Speaker 3: Different cast, different characters, different locations. So the first and
second season, maybe the third season, there's a super tiny
reference where they like this one woman's talking on and
aldo a picture. She's like, what do you know about
these guys? And it's the picture of the guys from
the first season. He's all like, I don't know, and
that's it. But this one straight up it's like like
this guy is in some way tied to a character
from the first season, like and then like like this
this name pops up in like the second episode and
you're like, I know who that is, and uh, it's
specifically directly tied in. And this is the first one
that's done by a new writer, and I feel like
the writer for the first season I at this point,
I feel like stumbled into greatness and then tried to
do it again and didn't. But they get it, and like, man,
it's so good. It's got Jodi Foster in it. And
I will tell you that Jodi Foster at this at
the age that she's at now, she is like fine, wine, glorious,
absolutely glorious, great actor. Oh yeah, the whole thing oh man,
it's so good. It's so good her character. I hate her.
I love it, I love it.
Speaker 5: I watch it.
Speaker 7: It's like older Jodi Foster than like, you know, nineteen
ninety one Jodie Foster.
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna lie, yeah yeah, yeah, no no, it's
because you got a good taste. All right. Well, I
am the great unclean one, your host.
Speaker 1: I will be playing as always as a thrack better
known as knuckles are orc biker may I don't know
heavy weapons. Gun guy likes explosives, has a sweet mohawk
that lights up. It's like made out of like I
don't know what are they are?
Speaker 3: What are they called? Cyber cyber tubes? Cyber?
Speaker 4: What were they?
Speaker 3: I don't know what they were called. Anyway, it's an implant.
Speaker 2: I thought, pretty qol. What I've been up to do?
Speaker 1: I played Warhammer against Sean today, our first Old World game.
Speaker 3: That was a blast. Uh.
Speaker 2: I think. I think it's got a promising future. I'm
very excited.
Speaker 1: Warhammer is back, baby, and it could not be any
cooler unless CAW stores.
Speaker 3: Had their own Army book, but that'll never happen.
Speaker 1: Other than that, what else have we been doing? Still
painting some Zomba side models here and there. Painting slowed
down this week, Souse. I was on call, but I
am back and ready to rumble. And as Adam said,
we played some Wrath and Glory last night. I was
running the scenario that we'd be running at a dept
to coon this year. I wanted to try it out
and give it a test, so just working out the
kinks out of the machine. But I almost forgot what
it was like to like roleplay in person. I was like,
oh my god, I have to like re look through
a book here. I don't have glorious foundry to help
me do everything, and now I'm here playing on roll twenty.
Speaker 2: So it's like m'd be better off with the fucking book.
Speaker 1: So yeah, But other than that, I'm ready to go.
Speaker 2: Man, I'm ready to see how this all starts to
come to an end.
Speaker 3: So take it away, Adam, all right, free free cap
of the last session. You guys were all hanging out
in the back of a garbage truck for fun and profit.
But you guys reached out to mister johnsonor he reached
out to you. I don't remember exactly the order of things,
but he sent you a coded message telling you that
he needed help, and U asked, is it aris and
he said yeah, And you guys went to meet up
and potentially rescue mister Johnson. You got to the Alabaster
Maiden Club four pm, just like you always do. You
talk to the troll who has been the bouncer. He's been,
you know, a recurring character. He doesn't have a name.
You should, but you know what his name's t Bone.
Deal with it. So t Bone, you guys talk to him,
and he's like, fuck, one of you guys, ask to
knock me out because otherwise I'm gonna get in trouble.
And you hit him in the face of the hammer
and you knocked him out, So I guess you did
what he asked. But now he's got to go to
a dentist. And then you astrally scouted and you found
mister Johnson. Well, you assume mister Johnson in where he
would normally be with four people in there that you
are assuming are more of these ares hardcore mercenary type dudes.
We take you now to the scene, the scene of
the action. I'm gonna translate. You gotta translate, transfer, translocate,
transmography whatever. I'm putting you guys in the interior. The
Alabaster Maiden sick, very eighties. I wish that was my fault.
Better believe it. Palm trees inside. It hasn't come up yet,
but there's palm trees inside. They are realistic, but probably
not real cool, high quality plastic plas Tech trees, plast
Tech brand trees, the best trees that you can buy.
So there's neon lighting, various colors ranging from pink to
light blue. There's some orange, maybe some breads in there.
But it looks like, uh, it looks like every eighties
coke head's dream of a nightclub, and it is. But
you head in. You don't go into the nightclub part
of it, because you guys are going to go through
your your director out, through the kitchen, down the hall
and all that stuff. I would assume, uh, you guys
are ready to go.
Speaker 9: In what spelled can miss muric cast.
Speaker 3: Let's take a peek because I did not pop her
out yet because she's in a different spot.
Speaker 10: So I'm probably just gonna make seb Salios, who isn't
Jeff Jellios invisible?
Speaker 3: I did not put that together until right now.
Speaker 10: A purpose I don't know if that that's purpose.
Speaker 3: Honestly, No, I'm asking him.
Speaker 4: I know.
Speaker 10: Wait he's not there, all right, Cool, we're asking Star
if his character's name is supposed to be Jeff Jellios.
Speaker 4: What you an old guy from Crank Frank?
Speaker 9: No is a hockey player?
Speaker 4: No, it was Jason Station.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think there was a hockey player.
Speaker 5: Maybe full disclosure, man.
Speaker 3: I am I don't. I don't know either, Star.
Speaker 5: I'm just I'm on four hours of sleep.
Speaker 2: I did it.
Speaker 5: Rtt fucking you might have to say my name of
color Aaron got it.
Speaker 9: That's fine, that's all.
Speaker 3: That ris my mistake. That's my mistake. I'm sorry, im
think of a different game.
Speaker 4: Is the protagonist of Crank and Crank two High Voltage
exactly the best?
Speaker 3: I gotta I gotta God. So you're already derailing me
because we're talking about movies. So I went to this
horror movie convention. It's called Horror This is years ago,
and it was the same year that the Crank two
came out, and I was there and uh, you know,
they had all these Crank two boats. It's not a
horror movie, but they had these Crank two boasters. They
were like free take one and I grabbed one, and
like one of the people that was there was, uh,
you know, Corey Haynes. And I'm like, dude, I'm gonna
get Corey hayne to sign this Crank boaster. That's hilarious, right,
And then I found out that he was in the
movie and I'm like, oh, that's not funny. I just
thought I thought i'd be funny because he was like
a drug addic and he uh he like while he
was hold hold on, hold on. While he was there,
he walked between like me, like my little group of
people standing in like a circle. He walked through and
he looks down, he looks at my wife's boobs and
he goes hey, and then he keeps moving and uh
like he just like dead like leans in and steers
at my wife's boobs and uh and then he died
like three days later. Damn.
Speaker 9: That's it.
Speaker 3: That's my story, all right. So let's get back to this.
Speaker 7: There was like an increase in hospital visits from people
who put like car contacts on their tongue front.
Speaker 5: When the Crank movies call it, you think people do.
Speaker 3: Know, I don't think so. I don't think so.
Speaker 1: I think dude, give themselves with bleach. People have done
the ship in crank, no doubt.
Speaker 10: I'm improved into visibility on my boy man tis.
Speaker 3: That sounds great. So you asked, what the what spell?
Does she cask? Right now?
Speaker 7: Uh?
Speaker 3: She's like in a situation, I mean I could try
to knock someone out. I mean I can build a
man of barrier.
Speaker 10: Okay, because we want to keep one of them alive, right,
guys to interrogate, I mean ideally, but well, I.
Speaker 2: Mean knuckles scoffs like yeah again, like if we.
Speaker 10: Have to, because we want to try and find Ford's daughter. Okay,
I'll do it, right, Okay, So why don't we just
kill three of them and leave one of them alive?
It's kind of the goal here, huh.
Speaker 4: So there's like a million stumbles in there.
Speaker 10: There's four, So let's just kill the three on the
left and leave the guy on the far right alive.
Speaker 9: Sound good?
Speaker 4: Okay, Yes, this is very good.
Speaker 11: Okay, Well I'll try to I'll try to get a
nerve strike on one of them.
Speaker 9: Yeah, that'd be so cool.
Speaker 3: It's like a vulcan neck pinch thing. All right, So
you cast your spell?
Speaker 4: How do we do?
Speaker 10: Fantastic he is invisible with four successes, and it has
improved in visibility so it ignores electronics and real stuff
and thermos and stuff, and.
Speaker 3: It looks like completely you resisted the ship out of
the drain too? Nice Sam, All.
Speaker 4: Right, nice question?
Speaker 2: Am I invisib to me?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 5: Like how do I know where I'm walking?
Speaker 4: You know?
Speaker 3: Like, well, it's not like your eyes go somewhere different,
but like I you know, what.
Speaker 2: Do they because they're invisible too?
Speaker 5: How does that work?
Speaker 3: Well? Magic? It's magic? So like you, I think, let's
not get into this, like I don't want to, You
don't want to.
Speaker 10: I don't know, spend your disbelief for this brief moment
in shadow.
Speaker 7: Can you imagine having to like walk but you don't
know where your foot is?
Speaker 1: Like, I mean, if you would not be adam, keep going,
We're never gonna get me where?
Speaker 3: Well, you know talking about like walking without knowing where
you're going. I fell down the stairs on Tuesday. That sucked.
My foot slid. I was wearing a fresh brand new
pair of socks and like I got hardwood stairs and
like do I stepped once was cool, second step slid
and then I just fucking land on my elbow and
rode down the stairs land at the bottom. I lay
there for like five minutes. My wife came out of
the bedroom. She's like, oh my god, was that Did
you fall down the stairs? I'm like, yeah, yeah, I did.
Speaker 4: Five.
Speaker 3: I took the day off of work. That's it. That's
my story, all right. So I'll post a picture of
the lovely drawing that I received when I went back
to work. So, uh, you falled down the stairs. Pay not,
there's something else. So you're invisible. We're not going to
discuss the details of invisibility. That's for the side podcast
that we're doing where we're talking about movies. It'll be
in the episode when we talk about the movie Looper.
But h so you go in and you're invisible, and
you head inside. Stop me if I'm doing anything that
you guys disagree with, but you head in.
Speaker 10: We're all going with him, right, he's not by felf
for sure.
Speaker 8: Well, if he's invisible, we don't know where he's at.
So we don't know if he's left yet.
Speaker 6: I don't even know where I'm at.
Speaker 5: Really, Oh, it was awful.
Speaker 4: We'll walk in and hope that he's following.
Speaker 3: Thank you. Thank you. Somebody's doing something. So you open
the door and you step in. You duck underneath because
you have to do that to get indoors. And you
step in and you head in through the kitchen and uh,
you see that that prep cook. You've seen him at
this point, I think four times. And he's chopping away
with his big old chopping knife. And he looks up
and he goes back to chopping.
Speaker 4: Jock's gonna take his knife.
Speaker 3: He's like, hey, I gotta get this stuff done. What
are you doing.
Speaker 4: I'm telling you this is important. I need this knife,
all right. And now that I hold the knife.
Speaker 3: So he steps back, Yeah, he steps back. He's like, okay,
I get something else. So this knife, this knife has
been sharpened so many times that it's you can tell
looking at it. It's like half the size that it
used to be. This is this dude's favorite knife. So
well you've got it. It's engraved, it's got a little
monogram on it. LTJ. So anyhow, you head back through
that hall and as you're getting close, you get the
hair on the back of your neck thing. You know,
you feel like someone just stepped over your grave. But
you get towards that door, and you know, you know,
you already know. On the other side of that door
there's four dudes, four dudes that are chromed to the gills.
And you assume that these are more of these areas
hardcore guys that almost killed all of you not too
long ago. I think it was two days or something.
At this point, you're all there. So how are we
doing this?
Speaker 10: You have one of those stunt tacks or something, or
do we want to just go in and start killing doc?
Speaker 2: Let me check.
Speaker 1: I think I'm out of stone grenades, but let me
double check.
Speaker 3: Here.
Speaker 8: Doc is going to produce a handful of trank packs patches.
Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of.
Speaker 1: I have smoke gas and h E grenades.
Speaker 4: This patch.
Speaker 10: All right, He's going on make them go sleep.
Speaker 4: But it's a dormant plaza.
Speaker 10: Yeah, probably pretty fully armored, so I think it would
be hard to get it on them.
Speaker 9: That na okay, I wish you the best of luck.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna take two of them, if there's enough that
I can carry two of them.
Speaker 8: I've got six of them.
Speaker 3: So.
Speaker 10: You know, why don't our big strong troll kick down
the door. And as soon as the door is down,
I'm gonna throw in a stunball as hard as I can.
Speaker 1: Okay, so I don't Is it possible to begin aiming
so that one door opens up and I eventually fire,
I would get an aiming bonus.
Speaker 3: Uh no, because there's nothing to aim at.
Speaker 8: Okay.
Speaker 3: I like your I like your initiative though. Thanks.
Speaker 10: Oh, I guess I'm gonna as increased reflexes on ooth
frot as well before.
Speaker 5: Fancy.
Speaker 3: Keep in mind, you're currently sustaining invisibility.
Speaker 1: Dude, he's the magic hobo. He can sustain like three spells.
He's awesome like that. He does it all the time.
Speaker 8: Mh.
Speaker 10: One of the first one doesn't take any it's the
second one that takes minus two.
Speaker 3: Well, as you're sustaining the spell, everything else that you
do takes it minus too.
Speaker 2: Right, Yes, he'll be fine. Yeah, I believe.
Speaker 9: I believe in me too.
Speaker 4: Watch them just like I Right now from my.
Speaker 3: I would cry a little bit.
Speaker 4: All right.
Speaker 10: You get plus three dice and I take one point
physical damage.
Speaker 2: So you should have three dice on what.
Speaker 10: To your initiative, your physical initiationive. So whatever the number
you have in there is plus three.
Speaker 3: Hell yeah, uh no, no, no, no, no, no, because how many
you got three successes? It's it's uh plus, it's base,
it's based on one, it's based on fours.
Speaker 9: Yeah, okay, two, four six.
Speaker 3: Okay, and then I think the three successes then gives
him plus three, is it right? So it's like three
D six plus three added to his initiative.
Speaker 9: We'll check out that part.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, I uh I got I got so.
Speaker 1: Sorry, So Sean, you're you're saying, you're saying three D
six plus three to the total.
Speaker 10: Right, So your your physical initiative should be like mine's
nine plus zero plus one D six. If I did
this myself, it would be nine plus three plus four
D six.
Speaker 1: Okay. So okay, I'm looking at it right now. And
that's for physical right, correct, Okay?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like that. I like those numbers. Tell me more.
Speaker 10: Well, I only took one physical damage from that, so honestly,
I think it's a win.
Speaker 4: Guys.
Speaker 9: Also, yeah, that's that's definitely a win.
Speaker 4: At the end of last session, you left to know.
Speaker 9: I realize it's a bad idea.
Speaker 10: If i'd bound the spirit before, I could have it
just sustain all my spells for me, But we didn't
you doing that. I just yeah, I just found out
about it last week, so I was researching it this
week and it's like, ah shit, if I had like
four hours, we could have done it. But yeah, thanks
like so many hours.
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, rough.
Speaker 4: Things said we should Sarah MRV. She wants to summon
that thing that man just killed.
Speaker 12: Oh yeah, Well we have a moment here when when
I have something that says, uh, like, uh, I would
just do a basic melee attack.
Speaker 6: Is that just unarmed combat?
Speaker 4: Are you talking about nerve strike? Because it's yea, if
it's nerve strike, then it's any weapon, any fucking weapon.
Speaker 3: You use your blades, my friend.
Speaker 7: Okay, after I feel like a dove that just got
set free.
Speaker 4: Yeah no, I was. I think that came up in
the in in that mission when but yeah you can, and.
Speaker 5: I promptly forgot.
Speaker 4: Yeah I know. I was like, oh no, he's slowly unarmed.
It's like, that's gotta be brutal on you, because unarmed
is not a great skill.
Speaker 9: Unless you're like turbo.
Speaker 5: It's definitely not what I'm using.
Speaker 4: No, like it's one of my best skills. But that's
also because I'm an troll.
Speaker 5: Well, then be a debate. They'd be a debated.
Speaker 7: I'm trying to look at the skill table because we
went over this too, and I'm just a little.
Speaker 5: Because, so if I have a five blade, I want
to six.
Speaker 7: It says it cost forty two, but there was some
kind of stipulation with this that wasn't the actual cost
or something.
Speaker 4: No, it's forty two total. So if you already have five,
it's whatever. The value of the five is, like forty
two minus that value. If it's thirty, then it would
be twelve. Like that's the idea.
Speaker 10: Yeah, so Chris Adam was right, it's not forced. I
was thinking of something else. So you get plus three
to the initiative and only plus one initiative dice at
this point because I only got the three successes much
less much less good.
Speaker 9: I mean, you're still getting a higher initiative than you did.
Speaker 3: Is there a way that you can boost it any
way to make it better?
Speaker 8: Uh?
Speaker 10: Usually I edged this role, so I just blits the
ship out of it.
Speaker 2: It's like the more successful you.
Speaker 9: Have, the better generally.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, so I'm sorry, So it should be it
should be at two D six and plus one.
Speaker 3: Pretty plus three plus three plus three.
Speaker 4: Okay, Yeah, cool. Yeah, no, it makes sense because you
were rolling like like eight or nine successes like on
the before.
Speaker 9: Let's just sit edge of it. But this chapter has
been so goddamn long.
Speaker 4: But that's okay.
Speaker 2: You're two, kay.
Speaker 5: Also, I'm delirious.
Speaker 4: You good doctor.
Speaker 3: How much crack did you smoke at all the fucking tournament? Bro? Okay,
sorry about that, guys, Now you're good dog. Oh I
had uh before I started, uh you know, playing tonight,
I had like a big big thing a lemonade, and
then a big thing a coke because I was like,
I'm gonna fall asleep, and then a coffee and then
now I'm drinking, so I got like so many fluids.
Speaker 5: Here's you're right on pire with me, my friend ultra high.
Luckily I sneak away and none of you ever know.
Speaker 3: We definitely know.
Speaker 7: Scarc Please please answer you hear like a distant flush.
Speaker 9: I'm here.
Speaker 10: Hey, guys, all right, all right, Yeah, what we wanted
mismurder some of that super spirit she brought previously into life.
Speaker 3: She's like, that's been banished.
Speaker 4: What do you mean.
Speaker 3: It was destroyed? I I can, I can summon him again,
but it's it's a process. It takes hours.
Speaker 10: Okay that when okay, every mind, no, no, no worries.
We will figure it out. So uh, when the door opens,
I'm gonna throw in a big as Dumbolt's mur If
you want to shoot your knock up, spell out the
guy on the far right. Everyone else, just kill someone,
not the guy in the center sitting in the chair.
Speaker 3: Okay, sounds like a plan.
Speaker 10: Okay, yeah, which every one of you big girly guys
wants to break down the.
Speaker 3: Door and roar, go for it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Jacques will go ahead and boot the door.
Speaker 3: All right, So everybody should drag their tokens out into
the field so we can that's that's Kevin. Kevin's out there.
Get Kevin out of here.
Speaker 4: I want Kevin here.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Kevin, he's got He's got a lot of experience
with strategizing and commanding a team in video games. Yeah,
look at this.
Speaker 2: I can't even reach the top of the fucking desk. Hey,
don't mistak Johnson. I'm here to do, Maria.
Speaker 3: It's not whoa initiative?
Speaker 2: Eh?
Speaker 3: All right, yeah, physical, don't forget your fat stack A
bonus initiative. There.
Speaker 10: I realized you were you were correct at him. I
misread it, so he's not as fatly stacked as I
had hoped.
Speaker 3: So it's it's a D six plus three right, yes, okay, cool?
Speaker 8: Where is the initiative in this program?
Speaker 3: Right hand side on the maintains rolled down.
Speaker 6: A little bit on this program. It's quite generous.
Speaker 1: YEA program is a stretch, guys, if it was found
the initiative for you?
Speaker 5: Yeah, all right, so years Wait, what wounded?
Speaker 3: What the fuck? You should have healed it when you.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it says I have seven wounds.
Speaker 6: Let me okay, let's get rid of that, right, I
should be fully ill?
Speaker 5: Right, yeah, let's try to think.
Speaker 3: I don't remember it's okay, white teena on the tracker,
get her out of here.
Speaker 8: Why is my There is no way my thing is
that high.
Speaker 5: Bonuses from you?
Speaker 4: Okay, hold on, let me try.
Speaker 9: The wow wow scar to you.
Speaker 6: Okay, Sorry, I had a corn moment for a second there.
Speaker 10: Sorry, someone's cheating and tell me I'm the.
Speaker 2: Foundry or the roll twenty logo he saw?
Speaker 5: What do you make wounds?
Speaker 4: Eight?
Speaker 2: Eight is the sacred number, of course.
Speaker 10: Eight mortal, eight mortal, by the way, caves eight mortal wounds.
Speaker 3: Yes, all right, here we go. Here we go. So
you guys are kicking in the door, so they get
to make a surprise roll.
Speaker 10: Or would we all be like holding an action to
do something surprise?
Speaker 3: Motherfucker? Yeah? No, no no. So the way this works
is if they fail their surprise roll, they get late yes.
Speaker 4: Cool, yeah, and they get like negative their defense roles
and stuff like, so they can't defend.
Speaker 3: So uh, none of you guys really like mention anything
about being quiet, So I'm not gonna do any kind
of stealth roles for you guys. I'm just gonna roll
for surprise. For these fellas, they need three hits just
kind of casually walk down the hallway and kick down
the door. I need three hits to succeed on the surprise.
Oh would you look at it?
Speaker 9: That's oh fucking futs.
Speaker 3: What determines that they need three, Adam?
Speaker 2: Is that just standards?
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a flat it's a flat target number, gotcha. Yeah,
So it's always like for surprises, it's three. So that
means that they would get to act in this first pass.
I got all all of them on the say, you
know what, I should roll them separately, right, let's do that.
Let's make this a little more complicated, so oh, roll
out duplicate.
Speaker 2: Guy, so far twenty three?
Speaker 3: Okay, don't worry about that, you guys will be okay, right,
all right, so ship, where do they go? Here we
go as aris aris. There we go. All right, we'll
get this guy in here. There he goes, what get
this guy nineteen? Okay, all right, all right, then we'll
get this guy in here. It is as hardcore guys,
as far as we can see, as far as you
can cheat. Yeah, this guy should have been as seventeen though,
so I'm gonna fix that real quick. There there we go,
all right, you kick the door. I'm guess it's you Knucks.
Speaker 1: I guess so yeah, cojamlam.
Speaker 3: Door fucking flies off the hinges because you got strong,
thick thighs, haunches like a horse. You kick and the
door snaps off the hinges, the cheap door. But you know,
don't don't tell Knuckles that he's it'll deflate his ego.
But you kick, it snaps off the hinges, flies into
the room, bangs into that very expensive looking desk, and
then clatters to the ground. The guys inside are like
car dark and you see four of these areas hardcore
guys in their black armor with the yellow accents. All
of them totin Ares Alpha assault rifles. They have balaclavas
on underneath their ballistic helmets. They look like a serious bitness.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 1: Yes, And this image that we're looking at, is this
the office or is this the nightclub?
Speaker 3: This is the night club. Don't worry abou the office
is you know, it's it's a small room and they
are in there. They're all standing up and sitting in
the middle of the room behind the desk is mister Johnson.
You see him right away. You recognize him immediately. And
he looks like he's been slapped around a little bit,
you know. His one eye is like swollen shut, he's
got blood from the nose. His cyber arm is currently
like as soon as you go in, you notice it's
like shooting some sparks out here and there, and like
the cigar dispenser on his forearm is like wigging out,
and and like he looks like he's in bad shape.
He looks like he got his as king.
Speaker 2: All right, Sean, your stun ball is it?
Speaker 3: Ae? Yeah?
Speaker 10: So I shouldn't go in here, right, I would recommend not,
but I think Adam was gonna roll the surprise for
each guy or no.
Speaker 3: You know what, you're right, let's do that. First guy
is not surprised, second guy is surprised, Third guy definitely
not surprised. Third guy surprises you, and that guy's that's
his surprise. So the bottom two or no, no, no, it
was the second guy. So the guy in nineteen is
going to drop down to a niner and this guy
is going to drop down to a seven and we're
gonna resort, all right.
Speaker 1: So because they're surprised, they lose part of their initiative. Right,
Is there any bonus to attacking them?
Speaker 3: They are not able to defend themselves. Oh yes, I
would like to shoot one of them. Please, okay do
it is?
Speaker 2: Is there anywhere to take cover in this office or
is it just kind of kind of small with the
desk in the middle.
Speaker 3: It's pretty small, but where you're at your like the
door jam is wide enough that you could like tuck
back and kind of fire around the corner of the door.
Speaker 1: In make sense, Well, how about I fire and then
I duck back behind the cover. Since I kicked open
I'm probably standing in the doorway.
Speaker 2: I would imagine.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so that, I mean there'd be too many actions.
So you can fire and uh, I mean you kicked
you fire and then you can like move, but you
can't do the take cover action.
Speaker 1: So you can just yeah, can I just move back
around the corner out of the way so any someone
else can get in here?
Speaker 3: Yes? Okay, you like clear the way so other people
can get in, but you're you're not gonna get the
cover bonus.
Speaker 2: Alrighty, that's what we're gonna do.
Speaker 1: I cannot click on their tokens to target them.
Speaker 3: You don't they.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you don't that you just roll roll the weapon attack.
Speaker 2: I'm thinking of the more superior product.
Speaker 1: Okay, right, all right, thank you, all right, cab think
we could go with the explosive rounds as usual.
Speaker 3: There's an explosive shell from a shotgun.
Speaker 2: Were successes.
Speaker 3: That is Kevalier fount shim you got damn all right,
but he's gonna try to soak it. So we're gonna
say defend situational modifiers. Minus We're gonna say one hundred
because he has dice. There we go the world soak
four successes, twelve stunt damage. Uh so that guy as
you pop around and blast the door open with your
mighty orc kick. You fire off an explosive shotgun shell.
It hits the dude right in the chest and it
uh detonates and it flings the dude and he slams
back into the wall and hits the ground. Uh. It
did not penetrate his armor. He doesn't take any physical well,
he does take a little bit of physical damage. But
he's knocked out. So you got one of them removed
from the order. But he is, but he's barely harmed
for real though, just the uh, the slamming into the
wall rattled his his cage.
Speaker 2: Okay, well I'll take knocked out. I'm fine with that.
Speaker 9: Yeah, bro, still good.
Speaker 3: Yeah, two guys are up next and they're going to
open up on you.
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 3: Oh no, so you hear like target acquired?
Speaker 4: No no, wait it frocks invisible though, right, No, I'm
going really fast.
Speaker 2: He's invisible. We should have put all the buffs on
one character and really.
Speaker 10: Just I want to give the time to shine bro seven.
Speaker 1: Attack All right, now, I think learning has occurred, So
let me just see if I'm correct.
Speaker 4: I do.
Speaker 3: There we go six successes with the If I do athletics.
Speaker 1: I lose some of my initiative, but I get to
do athletics versus gymnastics nastics.
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, and that's that's the dodge button, And that.
Speaker 2: Is how much do I lose on my initiative?
Speaker 3: Five? What do you guys think should do that?
Speaker 10: I mean, he's getting six successes, so he's gonna do
a shit ton of damage to you, I think, se
I mean, but.
Speaker 3: I'm pretty thick.
Speaker 2: Yeah, fine, we'll dodge. I never I never dodge.
Speaker 4: We'll try to dodging.
Speaker 2: Oh wait, sleptoken dodge boom.
Speaker 3: Three successes, three net hits. I subtracted your initiative, and
that means that you've got fourteen physical incoming. Hit that
soap button on there, ap minus six. I just went
from initiative twenty to initiative seven. Yes, you were at
twenty two and then your turn was over, so it
drops out to twelve and then minus five. Oh out, okay.
Speaker 2: More successes?
Speaker 3: Oh ten? Physical damage?
Speaker 2: God damn? Okay, how do I track health? Where's that here?
Speaker 3: So it's uh, you know, just the.
Speaker 2: First time I've taken physical damage.
Speaker 3: It's always been it's always been stun damage. It's right,
next to.
Speaker 10: This physical but yeah physical, okay, all right, still up?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, oh yeah, okay, well let's see that. Let's
see if you can say that again. After the next guy.
Speaker 7: Shoos question, adam, Uh, when can I just rudely interrupt
combat with adrenaline boost? I?
Speaker 3: I don't know what does that do?
Speaker 6: It gives me an initiative boost.
Speaker 7: It says, uh, this power lets you accomplish more in
one combat turn to get you get a plus two
tier initive initiative score for the current combat turn for
every level of this power you have, which is I
have a free rating up uh, and and then I
get sweepy.
Speaker 3: Okay, you you would have to do that well.
Speaker 4: That yep.
Speaker 3: So we're gonna say you did that already. So you're
gonna go before this guy?
Speaker 7: Cool h Yeah, I'm gonna run up invisible and get
up behind him a nerve strike him in the neck
with the blunt side of my sword.
Speaker 2: Okay, go for and bye. By blunt side he means
the sharp.
Speaker 10: Edge, like you wanted to capitate the guy who's gonna
shoot right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's gonna start him by.
Speaker 4: We are already knocked one of them out.
Speaker 9: The other three can all be killed at this point.
Speaker 5: They can be. But I'm pestist, so I'm gonna knock
him out.
Speaker 3: Fuck, let's see how that goes.
Speaker 7: I'm gonna attack his re his uh yeah, I have
to choose either reaction or agility. I'm gonna go reaction, okay,
and I'm just rolling my sword pretty much for this.
Speaker 4: You make a bullied attack, he defends against it as normal.
The net hits. Each net hit subtracts from his total score.
Speaker 5: Cool, here comes.
Speaker 3: Nice.
Speaker 4: That's fucking awesome, dude.
Speaker 3: All right, bro, So let's see how he does with
the defense role.
Speaker 10: Is there negative for being invisible?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm gonna you know what, I'm just gonna give
him a minus Uh, we're gonna give him a minus four.
Let's just make up a number. Here we go, nothing,
zero successes.
Speaker 4: So what's my now?
Speaker 3: Hear me out?
Speaker 5: All right, hear me out.
Speaker 7: So now when we question him, you guys can just
torture one in front of the other and encourage him
to talk.
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 4: You know?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, fun with last of us. That doesn't sound
very passively. I'm gonna point on the map and it
better be the same spot your.
Speaker 7: Well, let's scar the player suggesting that, so not not
mantis mantas, like all, this guy's going to live along
good life.
Speaker 5: I did a good thing here.
Speaker 3: You clearly haven't met us. So I'm gonna put this
out there. That amount of damage to his reaction, Uh
you hit him and uh man like you do a
nerve strike on his neck, but you definitely like shatter
like a vertebrae and and now he's paralyzed. His reactions
now zero. So he is paralyzed, probably for life. He
might live, but he's not gonna you know, just because
when he's alive doesn't really mean that they live.
Speaker 8: You know, Hey, we got a street dock here, I
can help, Yeah.
Speaker 3: Or I remember from last time. It's okay, I'll so
I gotta subtract seven. But he's definitely he's unable to
do anything with the reaction of nothing. So we're just
gonna remove that guy right.
Speaker 4: From the order.
Speaker 3: There we go. That brings us to Ford.
Speaker 5: So can you guys just see one just collapse? Not yeah,
you guys don't even know what happened.
Speaker 4: But we know when you're invisible.
Speaker 5: And yeah, but I mean I don't even really know
what happened. When you think about it.
Speaker 3: It's like a Freddy Krueger situation where you just see
somebody just like snap and fall.
Speaker 4: Okay, it's gonna go up to the one that's surprised,
and I'm gonna try and like lift his helmet and
shove the Trent patch on.
Speaker 3: Okay, so I like that. So yeah, unarmed, here's what
I'm gonna do. I'm gonna have you make two unarmed attacks.
So he's gonna try to defend one. This is for
you to get in there and pull away the helmet.
He's got two successes. You got a net hit. So
you managed to pull that away and make another unarmed attack.
But this time, uh well you already rolled it, but
make it again.
Speaker 4: But give me, shouldn't have a I don't think right, No,
I have I have a still we did not fully
heal last time.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, let's let's let's do this second one with
a We're gonna say a minus two. Roll it again
with a minus.
Speaker 4: Two one success, he's gonna defend.
Speaker 3: He's gonna defend with a minus one because he's already
received an attack. Uh so he Yeah, he succeeds. So
you tried to get the patch on it. Like, so
you managed to pull the helmet off of the guy,
so that guy's gonna have a lower armor rating. But
like you tear it off. It's it's chin strapped on,
but you like rip it away. So he's like got like, uh,
his his baltaclava goes with it, and he's got like
carpetburn on his face now and he's got the squarest
jaw you've ever seen. It's it's amazing. But you tear
the helmet off and you go to slap the slap
patch onto his face and he parodies with his elbow.
Managed to get you out of the way. You don't
make contact, drops you down to an initiative at three.
Speaker 4: All right, fault.
Speaker 9: So there's two two left up.
Speaker 3: Oh you know what, I'm gonna reroll that because I
forgot this is you said the surprised guy. I'm gonna
give him this four toil so he's still he's still won. Yeah,
still same thing happens.
Speaker 9: Sorry, So there's two up currently, right.
Speaker 3: Uh there are.
Speaker 9: Well one got front across the room unconscious and yeah.
Speaker 3: You're right, you're right. There's two yeah, one two two two,
I can can.
Speaker 10: I guess I don't want to stun ball because Ford's
in there. So I look at one guy and just
tell him shoot himself in the face.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 4: He was like, no, I negotiation, Yeah, my negotiation is in.
Speaker 2: H hey, buddy, kill yourself. Man, that's it.
Speaker 3: You make a good point.
Speaker 9: I guess I will.
Speaker 3: I've been thinking about it a lot lately, so I
guess maybe it like that I said, God, give me
a sign, and I guess this is it? All right?
So what do we got? Uh? Four successes, So he's
gonna make a it's a logic and intuition or logic
will power logic, will power will That makes a lot
more sense. He's in a roll it. Now he's got
a bonus because this is uh clearly not something he
wants to do. So let's get that with two dice bonus.
Oh for successes. So I think that that bonus did it.
So you tell him to do that and he doesn't flinch,
drops you down to one initiative. Uh, you did good
on the drain. Yeah, you resisted all the drains. Okay,
now we go to the I don't want to call
him a good doctor, but the doctor I don't even
think I should call him the doctor.
Speaker 8: The guy, Hey, hey, I got a medical bag. I
have medical quote unquote training.
Speaker 3: But you dressed like a doctor, so yeah, exactly.
Speaker 8: I mean, you know, the piece of paper says I'm
a doctor, just doesn't say a doctor of what I
am going to Uh the one that the the one
at the helmet ripped off. I am gonna run at
him and I am going to slash at him with
my hand raisers. Okay, any modifiers, No, you would have modifiers.
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, he's got his monifiers, you know, rolling extra die,
rolling extra die, because you got uh, you outnumber him
in melee cup. Just type slash our space one D
six dah by one.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 3: Uh so okay, h he's got a penalty. He's been
attacked already, so we're gonna subtract those and see he's
got four. So unfortunately, you don't. You don't succeed. You
slash at him, and the dude's able, he's nimble, he's
Wiley's out of the way. Drops you down to zero.
That guy is the surprised guy, so he does not
get to go. Then we go to Sarah, so she
sees what's going on in here, and she's gonna try
to cast one of her spells, which is a close
combat spell. She's got to touch him, so she will
hustle in, run up on the guy and attempt to
cast knockout, casting it at a force.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 3: She's she's not she's not happy about this. She's gonna
go She's gonna go hard. She's going forth to eight beats.
Speaker 4: So, just like as a character, she tends to overdo
it because she tried to cast a spell rocket like
also knocked herself out.
Speaker 3: Yeah, she's gonna take force done. Okay, she had two successes.
Uh yeah, yeah, that's not great. So this guy gets
to roll his wheel power, just straight WheelPower.
Speaker 10: So spell casting plus magic runs for what?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah that that bracket is your limit, right, So
that means the limit would be what the what her
force was, which was eight. He got zero successes. So
she does deal two damage to.
Speaker 10: She took foorst doun and dealt two damaged mm hmm
you ever changed there?
Speaker 4: Man?
Speaker 3: She's like I've had another and the guy's like what
and she's like I'm fuck it, and then she pulls
out her gun.
Speaker 10: That's that's the real damage dealer. I remember that gun.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that gun's name is Sleepy Ted. So now we
go back to knuckles. They're still on your feet.
Speaker 1: You've been hurt pretty bad though, Chris, that to you.
I am gonna open fire on uh uh. There's one
guy that's still surprised.
Speaker 7: Right.
Speaker 2: Correct, Okay, I will I'll shoot at that guy.
Speaker 3: Okay, as soon as I find my button.
Speaker 2: Alrighty, here we go.
Speaker 3: H Oh, it's got that ag description in there. Oh
look at that five successes. God damn, all right, let's
see what you can do with the soap.
Speaker 4: No way, it's pretty good.
Speaker 3: Twelve physical damage. Uh, that actually is enough for that
to pop through the armor. These guys are wearing full
body arm. It burrows through and.
Speaker 2: It's like this.
Speaker 3: The shell is like the size of a PEPSI can
and it goes inside and then it explodes yeah last night,
yeah yeah, So but it goes in and it blows up.
I'm twelve physical damage. That is enough to not only
knock him off his feet, uh, but that is enough
to put him in to overflow. This guy is not
long for this world. Sweet, he's uh, he hits the ground,
he's like he's like and you see like a bunch
of blood spray through his blahklava. Somebody said baklava earlier.
So he's and you see.
Speaker 5: Like a bunch of.
Speaker 3: Night a bunch of Greek pastry fly out of his
mouth and blood gross, it sprinkles, It sprinkles, some delicious
kind of it's got like honey on it, and it sprinkles,
and then bloods and you're cool, your cool sunglasses. The
windshield wipers on him engage, all right, So, uh, you
kill one. So he's dead. That guy was the surprise
one down here at a seven. He's not gonna get
to do anything ever again. Uh, and we got one
guy left. He's the next guy in the initiative order.
He oh man, oh man, pulls out the gun. This
guy's got This is the one that's got some wound
penalties on it. Hope, I just deleted the wrong guy.
All right, whatever, it's fine. It's the last pass anyway. Uh.
He's got woond penalties on him, stunned, and he's gonna
take a take a shot at Uh. You know what,
this guy's not in a great place right now. All
of his buddies just died. His mission's not going well.
Speaker 4: And on the weapon that isn't wearing the helmet and
is currently having like a doctor try to slash his
throat while Ford's trying to put a tin patch on.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this guy's really not doing well. And uh he's uh,
he's gonna make a skill test. Uh here we go.
Uh no, corporate specialization doesn't apply. He's got one success
on his etiquette to try to surrender. He's like, I
don't kill me. It's not worth it. Don't kill me, please.
Speaker 4: I put the tray patch on his face.
Speaker 3: Okay, Uh, it's man's term. But that's fine. You do it.
You take it, and you put it over his mouth
and will stop talking. He goes, he drops.
Speaker 5: Are we are we still in the same turn?
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 3: Yeah? It was like there's three seconds.
Speaker 5: No, I mean from the last time I went.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, we're still in the same turn.
Speaker 4: Would be your turn?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Wait what it's your turn? Like I put the tramp
clip from his face, but I was mostly making a joke.
Speaker 5: Or same round.
Speaker 7: Let me get same roup, okay for still first rap
nerve strike, Yeah, run out again with my other sword.
Nerves strike, Nerves strike for you, nerves strike for you.
Everyone's going unconscious?
Speaker 3: Oh right, go ahead, and ruin this guy's life. Go hard.
Speaker 7: I don't know he's paralyzed yet, all right, so yeah,
same thing, go on reaction with my blades.
Speaker 5: It'll roll eventually, there we go.
Speaker 3: Okay, nice, nice, we got five successes. He's gonna roll
his his defense. He's got a minus two but no
minus no, he's got minus nothing. He's got two stunts,
so it's not enough. Full on and you get two net.
Speaker 10: Well, he's he's beenna attacked twice this round right by
the knives and the stunt patch.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what, let's roll that again. You're right,
you rat, So we're gonna go then with the minus
two two successes, so you got three net.
Speaker 5: Is he still conscious?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 4: So?
Speaker 3: I mean, how does this work? Again?
Speaker 4: I forgot his reaction drops by the net hits, so
he had seven. He has now a reaction of them.
Speaker 3: Okay, so yeah, no that drops. That drops him down
by three, so his reaction is gone. He is still
he is not permanently paralyzed, so he's still conscious. And
then Forward puts the slap hatch on his face and
knocks him the fuck out. Yeah he drops and uh
as he hits the ground, mister Johnson's like, I can't
believe that they I don't know how they found me
here this this Yeah, we should should not have pained.
We should leave this. This location has been compromised. Yeah,
and you guys hear perception role being requested from me.
Everyone makes a perception auditory based Uh, it's not gonna
be good.
Speaker 5: Let's see.
Speaker 4: Let's see if I roll another political critical glitch.
Speaker 10: I only get five dice on this now because of
my two spells.
Speaker 4: I literally because of my wound penalties, roll zero dice perception.
Speaker 3: So wow, this is really really awful roles.
Speaker 5: So where and where is a fucking perception role?
Speaker 8: I am?
Speaker 10: Is this? I'm a skill right yep, under active physical
skills beautiful, I'm pretty good.
Speaker 9: That Oh I loved you so much?
Speaker 3: Mhm okay, So volt and megot Mike. You hear a scream,
muffled scream sounds like it's coming from uh somewhere back
further into the club from where you are. Mantis, You've
got Keen eleven ears, I mean the Megan. Mike's got
Keen Elevan ears two. But he's old, so they're not
that good. But uh, there's a lot of there's a
lot of hair in those ears, so it kind of
muffles the sound a little bit. So you hear clearly
through your gross redbox. You hear the scream, and you
can tell by the timber of the voice that it
is the scream of an orc. And you hear a
body hit the ground, and you hear another body hit
the ground.
Speaker 5: All right, so what's your name again? What's my name again? Volt?
Speaker 7: So yeah, like like east, you know, you still can't
see me. I don't really actually know where I'm going either,
But a voice comes from behind you.
Speaker 9: That's mine.
Speaker 5: I don't know if that how that feels.
Speaker 7: But I'm like really close to like I'm whispering like
into the ear, like really close.
Speaker 5: They're out in the hall.
Speaker 10: Okay, thanks bro, uh maybe go kill them. Well hold on,
we've got we've got grenades, and we don't really care
about the rest of the hallway as long as.
Speaker 3: Our Johnson's okay, make another perception role.
Speaker 9: All of us?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, everyone, marriage do it quick? Are we still
an initiative or no? Just rolling?
Speaker 5: I can't navigate these character sheets that quick.
Speaker 10: One success again, two successes, another.
Speaker 3: Screen, another screen. You hear body of the ground. Uh,
Mike mandis you hear running? But it's so quiet you
you know that it's someone who's able to run full
speed stealthily, and they're coming towards you.
Speaker 5: Like right out the door. That's pretty close. I can hear.
Speaker 3: Him, uh close, not like immediately outside of the because
you guys are still in that all.
Speaker 7: Okay, coming from the direction of the kitchen, I'm want
to say out loud now with a little bit more urgency,
there's an edge runner in the kitchen.
Speaker 5: Head this way, yep, insert game here, a cyberpunk.
Speaker 9: I mean, okay, uh.
Speaker 4: Let's sort or not sorry, what's his name? Jacques will
grab well, we'll grab the man, mister Johnson and just
throw him over his shoulder to.
Speaker 3: Help, and you load him up and he's like, what
is what is going on?
Speaker 10: What another runner with coming here to help?
Speaker 1: You?
Speaker 3: Do you?
Speaker 9: No?
Speaker 3: No, You're the only team that I've been in contact
with since I've been here.
Speaker 9: It's gonna be a real rough right now.
Speaker 3: You guys start moving, and as you head down this hall,
you turn around and you start heading towards the kitchen
and you see you go, you see.
Speaker 4: Your bob, Yeah, I see her?
Speaker 9: Yeah, yes, yes, I see her.
Speaker 4: Okay, for some reason.
Speaker 3: She loading properly.
Speaker 2: Let me read fix her.
Speaker 3: Bro It's okay.
Speaker 10: I can teach her to these differences, can teach her
to love again.
Speaker 3: Blood is just a liquid. So sprinting towards you is
this woman. She's wearing some sort of like tactical armor,
and she's got this like headdress on. It's like a
like a metal thing, and it's got lights on it.
She's got clearly vampire like features, as if she were
some kind of vampire. She's got big old fang. There's
blood smeared across her face. She looks at you and
she smiles. She sees mister Johnson. Mister Johnson sees her,
and he's like, no, no, no, no, no no no.
I I still have time. I still have time. And
she says something in a language none of you guys understand.
Let me get hm, would they even be see if
you guys know what language it is. Let's go just
a straight up uh logic, let's go logic.
Speaker 10: Is this minus the four dice I would have from
sustaining spells?
Speaker 3: Yeah, because you're distracted by doing that.
Speaker 10: Okay, I can't I have negative two dice so I'll.
Speaker 3: Just not roll Okay, okay, what's one to glench? Now?
Speaker 4: Whose success is?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 3: God?
Speaker 7: Does it ever happen where you're like trying to expand
a window, you know, clicking drag with your mouse and
roll twenty and it just sticks.
Speaker 5: Well fucking let go anyway.
Speaker 8: No, I don't have that issue with Roll twenty.
Speaker 3: Specially you, the two of you, uh and and Mantis. Uh.
It's Spanish. She's speaking Spanish. You don't know what she
says though, So I don't think any of you guys
speak Spanish to no. Okay, Uh, Jacques, uh you uh,
you speak French. So it's similar. Yeah, it's similar, But
I also he says, He says, I still have time.
I still have time, And she says, no Moss tempo,
Lo Moss tempo, and she starts coming towards you. Guys.
Speaker 4: Jacque's gonna bolt with mister Johnson. Okay, that's my plan.
Speaker 3: So you start running and she kind of she jukes
towards you. You're gonna make an opposed either running or gymnastics,
your choice against her gymnastics.
Speaker 4: Oh my god, she's gonna fucking hate me right now
because I have thirteen dice and running.
Speaker 3: Bro. Oh that's that big ass strength. Oh my god,
So you got four successes. She got one. Your dice
pool is only slightly larger. So you are running towards
her and you're trying to get this is this is
not the widest hallway. But you start going towards her,
and she tries to get you and get to him,
and you managed to plow through. You hit her kind of.
She bounces off you a little bit, but uh, it's
it's a big impact, like you feel it, like it
feels like you almost like almost like running into a
fucking tree. But you managed to blow past. And he's
like you hear him. He sounds fucking terrified. He's like, no, no, no,
there's still time. Then you blow past.
Speaker 6: I'm gonna run with you because running is the thing
I do too.
Speaker 3: Okay, so she starts chasing you. Guys are all starting
all running. We would assume yeah, yes, okay, guess yeah, okay,
So she's running, so uh, everybody make a running test.
Speaker 4: Want me to make another one?
Speaker 3: Yuh if you want.
Speaker 4: To, sure, I'm happy to almost three success.
Speaker 9: Oh my god, zero successes.
Speaker 3: Five, I got a one. I got a fucking one. Uh,
anybody that's got more than one? Uh managed that runner?
Maggo Mike does not a runner. She as you guys
are running, you guys managed to to start going. She
catches up to Mago Mike, who's he's old unfortunately, and
she's gonna make a single attack role against you once
I get to the right place. Geez, all right, there
we go seven successes. So she as she's running, she
grabs onto you and starts draining the life force out
of you. So, uh, this is a death touch. It's
about not in combat.
Speaker 10: I didn't declare anything, but I have counter spelling and
sure does that help him?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, so you can. You can add your counter counter
spelling dice to his his his test against this.
Speaker 4: So yeah, there's if you do it as an interrupt action,
you get I think it's pure or like there's some
minus to the role that.
Speaker 9: Uh yeah, it would be you get plus eight dice
to this. What is the role you need?
Speaker 3: Okay? So this is uh death touch and death touch
is a direct uh mana spell. So as a direct spell,
it's the spellcasting test plus magic. Let me by force
against either the body for physical spell or willpower for
a man of spell. So you need to make a
willpower test plus those dice.
Speaker 9: All right, plus how many dice?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 9: Plus eight?
Speaker 4: Is that your total because it's actually minus too because
it's a minute.
Speaker 9: Yeah yeah, Okay, Well.
Speaker 5: I got three successes.
Speaker 3: Okay, you take four points of physical damage. Okay, and
she she SAPs away your your strength. You know, it
hits and it hurts like shit, and there's like a
like a handprint that feels like it's cold, like like
like that burning sensation from touching ice went with salt,
and uh, you're still on your feet.
Speaker 8: Would I be able to uh slap her with a
slap patch one of the trank patches that I have,
not in.
Speaker 3: This moment, not in this moment. But everybody starts running
and you guys are trying to cheese it out of there.
As you guys go through, you see all of the
kitchen staff dead, all of that guy who you borrowed
the knife from. He's slumped over. His face is in
one of those big stainless steel bowls with a bunch
of salad in it. You got his knife monogramed LTJ.
His favorite knife. He's been using it for years now.
Speaker 2: He's dead.
Speaker 3: His blood everywhere. You guys run and run, and you
see once you get outside, you burst through that door.
You see outside two more aries hardcore guys get look
like they were setting up an ambush from outside. They're
ripped to pieces. T bone the troll dead. No, we
got hit in the head with a hammer. Look, he
got hit in the head with a hammer. And uh
then after that, uh you know, uh, there's a big
old chomp, big old chomp in his fucking throat. Right,
you guys are running, maggot Mike running. Let's get uh,
let's get one one of them. Uh, you get one
attempt to try to trunk patch this this thing.
Speaker 10: I'm basically in the same position with Maggot Mike because
I've had no successes on my run.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 3: Oh did you I minus poured?
Speaker 9: Yeah? Actually so.
Speaker 3: Well little ship. So yeah, man, both of you guys
there are running. You don't see that stuff yet. You
guys are running, You're going through the kitchen and she's
got you. So I guess we're gonna pop up another
little tracker here. Oh boy, something clear everything out of here. Op,
that's the wrong button. Let's go remove alterns.
Speaker 9: So I'm gonna drop this. This spells from the other two.
Speaker 3: Since they're not here anymore, that sounds left me.
Speaker 4: I mean, what are friends for?
Speaker 10: I'm carrying the pay track the other one, I said,
the other two now I trusted Fjord.
Speaker 3: Is that like, yeah, sixth initiative?
Speaker 5: Jesus, do I even need a rule?
Speaker 3: No? No, you guys are out. You guys are running
towards the garbage truck. Sarah Mu're is with you, and she's, uh,
she seems a little bit out of a little dizzy.
And you, guys, the whole time this is going on,
like you're aware that that that hair on the back
of your neck thing is still happening.
Speaker 2: And she's running.
Speaker 3: And she looks to the two of you and she says,
we'll take of yipple body damn moment. And she is running.
So are you guys gonna try to stop her? No, No,
I'm just gonna let it go.
Speaker 5: Yeah, same, just gonna step out of the way.
Speaker 3: So she she moves, She moves so fast, so fast,
like a blur. She's gone. She's out the door. You
guys get to the uh the everybody else is in
that that garbage truck getting there, and you're trying to
start it, and you realize you don't have the keys.
Speaker 4: Can I make a roll the hot wire? Because Jacques
at this point would not let what would be driving?
What do you want an automotive?
Speaker 3: All right, mindus too, because you don't have the proper tools.
Speaker 4: Oh mine is two now you tell me after I five.
Speaker 10: I feel like if you just take two successes away
for you're still really good or you know.
Speaker 3: For hard damn hot wired. So you you get in
there and it's like in the movies. You just like
pull open the glove box and there's a bunch of
wires in there, and then.
Speaker 4: You touch it shove. I shoved the knife in the
I use the knife like like something, and I snap
it off inside there you go memory, Oh.
Speaker 3: My god, So yeah, you jammed the knife and you
snap it off and the thing fires up. It's no no, no, no, no,
no no no. And uh, you know, there's only there's
only room for two in the front. So a bunch
of people pile into the back and the garbage is
start to get real ripe. The garbage in there is
like about three days old at this point, and uh,
the pile into the back start driving. Mister who's in
the front. It's Ford obviously in someone.
Speaker 4: Else, well probably mister Johnson, because I had them on
my shoulders, so I probably.
Speaker 3: So yeah, you toss in the passenger seat and he
heads and he's like oh and he coughs a little
bit of blood comes out, and like you realize that
he's got that that wound that people hide where they're
like shot in the side, you know, he's got that one.
And he's like, I've I've been hit. He's like my
arm and he goes to lift up his like cyber
arm and it's just like hanging there, like he can
lift it from like the like the bicep area, but
like that from the elbow is just like limp. And uh.
It's like I've been hit. I'm not doing I'm not
doing well. This this is not good. This is not good.
You must drive, you must drive. She will not stop.
She will never stop. She does not sleep, she will
not stop.
Speaker 4: And Jock doesn't drive right away. He's like, we've finished
the job for you.
Speaker 3: I will pay you, I would pay you. We must
go go, do you hear me? And he goes and
he tries to like like grab you by the collar
to shake you, but it's like one cyber arm like
kind of it flops up and it just like launches
cigars at you and he's like, no, me, we must go,
and uh there's no time. Let's go. I will pay you.
Speaker 4: I will pay you, all right, I'll start driving.
Speaker 3: You start driving. As you're driving. The two other dudes
that were too slow, get to make one last running test.
I need two hits for you guys to catch up.
And uh, who's in the back we got injured? Uh,
who's this guy Knuckles and mantis in the back seat.
You guys can do an aid test. So let me
get athletics from you two. Uh to give bonus dice
to the runners. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I was on the Magic Hogo.
Speaker 3: Athletics, aletics or or leadership because I know you guys
have real high ranks in it. I did not have athletics.
Speaker 9: Go oh cool, that's just one.
Speaker 3: And penalties. Uh you know what here? Instead of doing that,
I got a better idea.
Speaker 2: I don't see athletics.
Speaker 5: On the list.
Speaker 4: I just have to show all under.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a different game. I'm so sorry. It would
be animal handling probably strength model strength, body strength, body strength,
body strength, body It's Kerry lift, so either that or
hear me out. I got another cool idea. Yeah, shoot
with the shock gun. As as any hits you get
on that will be a bonus to their dice pool
for the running.
Speaker 4: Oh shoot the vampire.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think.
Speaker 3: Terminator.
Speaker 2: I think I'm better off doing the body to be honest.
Speaker 3: Oh, go for it.
Speaker 5: That's my.
Speaker 3: Six successes. Hot damn so plus sixty year dice pool volt.
Speaker 4: Oh so good.
Speaker 3: I reached my arm out really really far.
Speaker 4: And you could probably drop the spells.
Speaker 9: Oh, I definitely did.
Speaker 4: Okay, two successes is what I needed.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that is.
Speaker 10: Jump jop sprinting out of breath fifty years old.
Speaker 9: His heart may give out. He sees thres glistening arms.
Speaker 5: He jumps for them.
Speaker 3: You jumped, I snatched the magic hobo.
Speaker 2: Jump to the dumb.
Speaker 3: Truck, knuckles reaching. He's hanging onto that hang on handle
on the back of the garbage truck, and he's leaning
out as far as he can with the other side.
And you jump and like you're just about to make it,
and like the garbage truck hits a little bump and
you're about to lose it. And at just as you're
about to fall, he snaps down and catches you by
the collar of your jacket and then goes.
Speaker 5: Ah, well love.
Speaker 3: That flings you into the trash, and uh we go,
we go to the other side. Let me get that
test from Mantis to help Megan, Mike the m team Okay, running, No,

Speaker 7: Carry lift carry lift Okay okay, uh threse.
Speaker 3: Successes plus three to your running test, Megant Mike.
Speaker 4: Success to successes.
Speaker 3: Yes, same thing happens, exact same Uh. So you you're
running and she's coming after you, guys, and Mantis you
reach out, you snatch this guy and you pull him in,
fling him into the trash and you guys are driving
off and she's keeping.
Speaker 2: Up and we open fire.
Speaker 3: Now yeah, so you guys open fire. I'm not gonna
make you guys roll. You start shooting out of the
back of this garbage truck and you know, some of
them hit, some of a miss, and like she gets
blasted with a with a high X shotgun shell and
like it fucking hits her and like takes her back
and like you see her like hit the ground and
roll and you're like, that's the end of that, and
then she like fucking rolls up onto her feet and
starts running again, sprinting towards this garbage truck. You guys
managed to do this a couple of times and break away.
But she takes one of those shots, those shots that
that straight up murdered that one dude, blew him up,
went through his armor and exploded item the size of
a pepsi kid. Uh. She takes one of those in
the shoulder and is just temporarily set back by it.
Speaker 4: Meanwhile, she and.

Speaker 4: Hey, you know my.
Speaker 10: Christmas actually six So he takes scared of him six.
Speaker 3: Inches of charisma, so does she? Uh charisma? So you
guys lose right.
Speaker 4: Also, can I just say this, because I've never had
a chance to use it. We're almost done. Ford has
the gear head, I think is what it's called the
positive quality. So I can make this car. I can
make this garbage truck run like twentyster than it should
be able to for like up to six minutes.
Speaker 3: Oh my god. So you guys, yeah, you guys are
hauling ass and there's like trash flying out of the
back of this garbage truck and uh, you know, you
guys are trying to hang on so you don't get
like blown out of the back of this Things like
this shouldn't be going over forty and uh you got
you guys are going forty five, but uh no, you
guys are going and uh cutting to the front, you see,
uh you know Forges driving and mister Johnson's in there
and he's like, I can't I can't believe. I can't
believe she's already here. I still have time. I still
have time. I still have I still have And he's
like fumbling and he's like struggling and he gets his
calm link out and he's looking at it. His hands
are shaking. He's like, I still have twelve hours, twelve
hours to deliver. There's still time, there's still time. I
can't believe she's already here.
Speaker 4: And whatever you delivering, the the final contract, the whole
the whole thing, the whole setup.
Speaker 3: It's it's been a long, a long long plan. But
I still have time to deliver. I maybe, maybe, maybe
if we get everyone in place in time, that they'll
call her off. She'll never stop she'll never stop if
they call her off. Maybe maybe maybe I can. I
can't believe this is happening.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and Ford is like kind of like letting you
guys clue in on this, Like so thats what image
links can see it happening. Yeah, and the rest of
you are on the comment.
Speaker 10: My old timey commic doesn't actually work very well. So
I'm just kind of bleaking for knuckles can tell me,
like in detail, what's happening.
Speaker 3: You better start talking.
Speaker 5: Life in danger or something.
Speaker 7: We need to get paid underline underline exclamation.
Speaker 10: We just need to find out where Ford's daughter is. Honestly,
after that we can fuck off.
Speaker 9: Yeah, we get paid.
Speaker 3: He sends. He sends the money for the kidnapping.
Speaker 5: Jib jib kidnapping, jib kidnapping.
Speaker 3: Leave me alone. He sends the money for the kidnapping
kid Now. I can't talk now, I'm thinking about it.
The kidnapping job. You get that money, you guys get
some karma or you've been paid, so all of your
edge resets.
Speaker 9: Feels good, and it really does. I gotta save it
all for that person.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we'll bring mister Johnson with us back to to
to make it Mike's shop where we can so kind.
Speaker 3: Of over as you guys guys are driving. He's, uh,
mister Johnson's like, we still have time, my contact, the target,
the contract. Uh I don't, And he like rolls down
the window and he flings a he takes like his
calm like and he like snaps it and he like
throws it out the window, and uh, he goes, I
need you to I need you to remove this. You
need to tell us who the fuck she was first.
She's a blood panther. I need you to remove this now.
And he looks at you his yeah yeah, he holds
like his his floppy cyber arm towards you.
Speaker 4: Okay, get trackless. I'll make a cybernetics a cyber technology role.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I forgot that. You got that? Yeah, I can.
Speaker 8: I actually assist via the calm sing I see everything
that's going on.
Speaker 3: No reason you got this dude that thought like you're
driving and this thing doesn't have rigor adaptations, so you
got to actually drive it. And you know, you got
one hand driving. And he's like, I need you to
remove this to contract me and you lean over and
you go there and you you fuck with it for
a moment and you pop a little thing loose and
you toss it and he's in the clear. You've removed
the tracking thing so you don't have to tear his
arm off. So that's great.
Speaker 9: So he's a blood panther.
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, she's a blood panther. Do we know what
that is? I don't know anybody know what that is?
Speaker 4: I do.
Speaker 3: I just want you to say it.
Speaker 10: I have a bag idea who it's, who.
Speaker 2: They work for.
Speaker 9: I don't know what it means.
Speaker 4: I don't.
Speaker 9: I have no knowledge of that, though.
Speaker 4: I have some points in local games. I also know or.
Speaker 10: Ze, black market pipelines, electrical engineering, and theatle knowledge.
Speaker 9: So I don't think so.
Speaker 6: Punishment straight smart religion.
Speaker 3: Mm, yes, religion. You can roll religion. But this is
gonna be a steep one. Uh. Let me get well.
First off, what's your character's religion? Is he religious?
Speaker 13: He's spiritual, but but he's not like a specific religion.
Speaker 7: I mean, yeah, it's debatable, like we're talking about real
life religions. It's it's a fine line. So Buddhism, you
call it a religion if you want.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that's that. Uh, it's yes and no
but close enough. So so okay, because this is nowhere
near what is totally familiar to your guy, you can
roll your knowledge religion, but I'm gonna need at least
three hits for you to have any idea what this is?
Speaker 5: Beautiful?
Speaker 6: That's obviously what I'm gonna get.
Speaker 2: What if it broke?
Speaker 3: It?
Speaker 4: Like six?
Speaker 3: Oh you're so cool? What is it? What is this
extra two? What is that from?
Speaker 5: I don't know why does it say zero?
Speaker 3: I don't know what the hell is it? All right,
so you should be rolling five one, two, three, four
or five six seven? You got eight? What? I'm so confused?
Speaker 7: I should have I have a rating of two and
it says five dice.
Speaker 5: On the character sheet.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know what this this O two is?
You got some extra stuff coming in there? Let me
let's see if I can. But what happened? What? What
have you done? What are we doing?
Speaker 4: Man?
Speaker 5: Who knows all these enhancements? Fuck with everything?
Speaker 3: Okay? So religion.
Speaker 5: Knowledge skills?
Speaker 4: Right? Yeah?
Speaker 7: Yeah, I have a two rating and a dice it
says dice of five.
Speaker 3: I don't know what else specialization zero applies. I don't
know why that's there. So no, that doesn't apply.
Speaker 2: So there we go.
Speaker 3: So yeah, roll it again. And when it says specialization
zero put.
Speaker 5: No, okay, no right, not.
Speaker 6: Religion specialization no correct.
Speaker 3: There I goes okay, so no, you you are unfamiliar
with what that is? No, no, no, know what that is?
So you guys go, what the hell is a blood panther?
She's a special tactical uh, problem solver for the the
company I work for?
Speaker 10: And why are they having her chase?
Speaker 3: I think I think maybe my manager thinks I am
going to fail in my current contract. This is I
have a limited amount of time and it's nearly up.
It's an asset acquacy.
Speaker 5: You need to accomplish.
Speaker 3: We are trying to a deal has been made to
extract an asset from from a different company and bring
them into the fold. Uh, a transfer from arrival.
Speaker 6: I really hope your life is worth all this vagueness.
Speaker 4: Yeah, or it's actually going to turn to one and
it's just going to say your life's on the line.
We are literally nobody's in this world, and you need
to cut the bullshit. You're talking to a vaguely.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm under great the rest I'm
bleeding out I've been him. Oh, thank you make it
weird all right? Much better?
Speaker 6: Did you?
Speaker 10: No, I'm not wasting any edge on this guy.
Speaker 3: Are you gonna are you gonna edge him or at all?
Speaker 5: He's acting like there was a pre edge. I'm just
I'm just you.
Speaker 3: Heal you, heal nice, nice you?
Speaker 9: Somehow?
Speaker 3: What the wow? Yeah? You managed to unblast the hole
in him, and you know his his swollen eye starts
to kind of shrink back a little bit, but he's
he's like, thank you as much? Much better? Can we
I don't. I don't believe she's gonna be able to
track us directly currently. Can we stop somewhere I haven't
eaten in it?
Speaker 10: Down my jacket and realize all my soy bars are gone?
Speaker 9: God damn man.
Speaker 3: Okay, we got paid.
Speaker 2: You can buy more soy bars.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 4: It's a good.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 4: You've got some food at your place.
Speaker 9: There's there's some flesh.
Speaker 4: Yes, he says, you can eat human flesh? Is good?
Speaker 3: Oh uh, I don't. I don't do that.
Speaker 5: Well do you do that?
Speaker 3: No? No, like animals, Jesus, I don't know what you do.
I don't know what you do except for what I
tell you to do, but I appreciate that. That's a
good foundation for a working relationship. Now fine, fine, bye, Fine,
So you guys are now back at the hideout and
you guys set up and you know he's he's changed
into uh don't we mondy clothes?
Speaker 1: Why don't we take our break care adamo?
Speaker 3: Yeah sounds good, sounds good break time.
Speaker 1: All right, we'll be bad breaking O wooo, I got
on my edge back.
Speaker 7: Oh speaking of which, how much karma and money did
we get?
Speaker 3: Uh's five karma? That's and.
Speaker 6: Excuse me, that was the longest chapter of my life.
Speaker 3: Sir, Yeah, for our lives.
Speaker 10: Against eight aries hardcore guys.
Speaker 3: Fine? Ten? How's that? That's great? Thank you?
Speaker 5: Let me make it us a cool fifteen?

Speaker 5: Wait yeah wait no, that that's still better?
Speaker 3: Okay, yes, okay, yeah yeah yeah, so uh yeah, so
there's that. And uh, I think what was the agreed
upon the man? I think it was ten thousand apiece
something like that.
Speaker 4: I feel like it was more, but it doesn't actually matter.
Speaker 9: I think he gave us half half up front.
Speaker 4: To right, I'll give us a seven.
Speaker 3: You guys got some hundred up front?
Speaker 9: Oh okay, I just.
Speaker 4: Put ten thousand, and now I have forty two thousand and.
Speaker 10: Eighty forty seven thousand.
Speaker 4: Well I bought it, have.
Speaker 5: Over nine thou sorry?
Speaker 9: Do you actually no?
Speaker 10: If you know, if we combined our our funds as
homeless people to start like a coalition, we'd have over
ninety K.
Speaker 5: I do almost have. I have fifty K.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I've got forty seven.
Speaker 10: So we're Oh, you guys are uh back with money?
Speaker 3: Uh? Well, I was gonna say frugal. Are hanging on
to that? You know for almost guy? You guys are,
well you got the money, You're like, I'm gonna I'm
gonna hang on to it. I'm gonna invest this later.
Speaker 7: Well, I mean, cybernetic arms don't pay for themselves.
Speaker 3: It's true. I mean, well they do, but you have to.
You have to pay for him first and then the
you know, the return on investment. So yeah, man, you
guys are entering the final chapter. All right, so let's
get this going. Uh, welcome back, everybody, it's everybody back.
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, rad Okay, we're.
Speaker 3: Back at it. So you guys are back at the hideout.
The meat locker is what I'm gonna call it because
it seems appropriate. And mister Johnson has changed out of
his blood soak damaged clothing and he's wearing one of
the uh, the freight train bathrooms you guys brought back
with you, and uh, yeah, he's got his his fancy
cyber arm is functional, but it's it's still kind of
twitching on the fritz. And you know, he goes and
habitually tries to pop a cigar and it's it's all
out of cigars. And he's like, well, perhaps I can
explain what's happening. But I have been contracted. Contracted. English
is not my first language. I have a contract to
procure a scientist and his family two relocate to work
with our company. Unfortunately, there's been some opposition to this
and contracts and negotiations are not possible in the current standing.
So my job was perform a hostile acquisition. Now, this
scientist is a willing In fact, he contacted our human
resources department. However, he is unable to breach his contract
with his existing employer. So we've been working on a
way to extract it. That's where all of this comes together.
This prototype weapon was developed by him, and I needed
to prove to my employers that this item would be
functional and worth the investment. They are happy with it.
Speaker 10: Cool, Okay, it's coming together right.
Speaker 3: We had previous purchased his work on this project, and
the prototypes are functional and the production of the final
product has been underway and is being installed currently. Now.
Part of the agreement we had was for him and
his family to be extracted. Now there is a complication
which I'm sure you have already discovered, of his daughter Yea.
Where he will be going, she will be taken care of.
We have different opinions on those who are how do
you say, uh, infected than some other cultures. She will
have a future, She will not be an outcast. She
does not need to hide her life. I'm sure you
have found out by now that she is legally dead.
She has been declared as dead to hide her this
is not necessary. Where we will go.
Speaker 4: And Sarah Murr is here for this conversation.
Speaker 3: Not currently, I mean she she's probably in a different room.
But if you guys want to bring her in like
you can.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll bring I mean we're just talking about her
life and our kid.
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. She shouldn't about this. So she comes out and, uh,
she's like, what, What's what's going on? You guys are
all sitting around like this, this like shitty cough table.
You know, it's one of those spools. It's an empty spool,
and you know, you got some like milk. Milk creates
in like a like a patched up, shitty old couch
and uh, you know, he's got a coffee mug and uh,
you know he's drinking from it and it's chipped, of course.
So you guys are there and she comes out and
she's like, what, what's what's happening? What's going on here?
Speaker 4: Heaven? We say exactly what you said earlier to her,
So you're somewhere.
Speaker 3: She uh kind of staggers for a moment, and she says, you, uh, yeah,
he didn't say anything. He didn't tell me anything about this.
He's just making plans for our lives without including us.
Speaker 4: I feel like the wrong people to talk about this.
Speaker 3: We don't know about your lives, so I don't know this.
This is an agreement that's been made. It is best
for your family, best for your husband, best for your daughter,
best for you. She goes, how do you know what's
best for me? You don't know me, I've never met
you got half a mind? And she like starts glowing,
and she like raised her hand up like she's gonna
try to.
Speaker 9: Please, please, please.
Speaker 10: We're just trying to find information out at this point,
and I.
Speaker 3: Don't want any Can you blame her? No?
Speaker 10: I totally am like on her side, but I also
don't want to bring him insane vampire lady back to us.
Speaker 3: So, you know, see if.
Speaker 10: We can get information from him first and then decide
what to do.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Sarah, why don't we hear him out at least
what he has to say.
Speaker 3: She's is pacing a little bit and slowly dims gets
back to like you know, normal people looking situation. And
it's fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, fine fine. She like
fucking kicks a empty can scatters across the ground. She's human,
all right, Johnson, better plead your case. Yeah, well, I
had mentioned before my discretionary fund. I am prepared to
deplete it if we can finish this job, and and
and the time is short. My my deadline is in
eleven hours. And he swallows hard and he takes a
He takes a shaky sip out of his coffee cup
and frowns.
Speaker 10: And they're probably going to be up to miss Murr.
Speaker 9: Really, she probably wants to talk to her husband.
Speaker 10: So where's he?
Speaker 3: He has not been in contact for.
Speaker 9: The pastor where's Ford's daughter?
Speaker 3: Uh? Yeah, he starts patting his robe, trying to find
his f He's like, I destroyed it. I don't know
what day or time it is. Uh, he has been
out of contact recently. I I don't, Like I've said before,
I don't know about your daughter. This is not uh,
I I don't, I do not know.
Speaker 4: I have meet the deal with a different runner.
Speaker 9: Therefore, Oh okay, well, good luck to them.
Speaker 3: I guess.
Speaker 1: I have a question too, Yes you, uh, how much
are we talking? And what exactly do you need us
to do?
Speaker 3: The job is fairly simple. We must extract. Yeah, okay,
I'll believe that.
Speaker 9: The up is not simple.
Speaker 3: We just okay, no, no, no, no, no, He's very simple.
All we have to do is extract Howard Murry and
deliver him to the pyramid.
Speaker 2: That is all the.
Speaker 6: Just like we had to just extract this woman and
her daughter.
Speaker 10: And then extract you both from areas hardcore. Fuck we
forgot to gramp their guns again.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the bullet holes were I had my mind on that,
and you see me wiping blood off.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 10: You hold on, Bud, and I will actually cast a
nice old heelsbell on you.
Speaker 3: This is what pain feels like.
Speaker 1: I mean, I have I have the talent high pain threshold,
and I'm at.
Speaker 3: What's the lines?
Speaker 2: But what's the line?
Speaker 6: Oh God, is this what I've been doing to people?
Speaker 2: Us to be in here?
Speaker 9: Now?
Speaker 4: Adam, you can correct me, but isn't it technically better
if manual healing is done first and then to heal
like you can?
Speaker 3: You want to follow the rules? Yes? Like really yeah,
according to the rules, once you do like magical healing,
you cannot do first aid. So well I have to
do first magical healing.
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay if if magic Mike is open to.
Speaker 1: Well, Doc, I don't uh, I hate to ask, but
you might maybe pulling some of these bullets out while
uh Johnson here tells us how easy this is going
to be.
Speaker 3: You've got no bullets in you. Those things those things
are right through uh through the front out the back,
so there's nothing stuff the holes with you know, Sarahan
rapp or whatever whatever you do, whatever you guys do, spittle,
spin on it, yeah, spin on it. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean he saved the three, are you right? So
I trust him?
Speaker 3: Any modifiers minus two, you know, the facility.
Speaker 4: It would be a total plus two if.
Speaker 3: It's top of the line.
Speaker 14: Okay, the packing plant, Yeah, five successes.
Speaker 3: So that's three boxes back and then the heel spell.
Speaker 2: What are boxes?
Speaker 3: You're you're damn, I'm sorry, it's yeah, you remove your
your wounds.
Speaker 15: Yeah, minus three Okay, I can't do man, Okay, you
had ten.
Speaker 3: So you heel up a little bit. And this is
this is happening while uh, you know, while this conversation
is going on. So he's over here like pulling fucking
needle and thread for you, and you got the magical
hobo magicing up your your your bullet holes, and uh,
these two they're arguing and then you guys, stop it
and then he starts giving you the job while while
this is and he's no, no, he's very simple. You
just just must remove him from the facility he's in currently,
and then we relocate him through the period.
Speaker 2: And where is the facility that he's.
Speaker 3: In Uh he works at Gortiesel Chemical. You've been there before.
Mm hmmm. Why however on his own Oh he is
uh being.
Speaker 2: Unpreserved at some point.
Speaker 3: Right, you clearly have never worked in a effort to
set it. Uh no, no, no, Sometimes you must work late,
and sometimes you stay in the office for a very
long time.
Speaker 2: And sometimes Uncles rolls his eyes so hard.
Speaker 3: Sometimes when you are under certain observation, you possibly are
provided with dormitory.
Speaker 10: So would my previous life experience with a corporate environment
have like any help here?
Speaker 3: Sure? Yeah, yeah, you you're understanding that basically what he's
telling you. Uh, they're they're watching him, and he's basically
under house arrest. He's well, it's like work arrest. He's
on the on the job working and he's not allowed
to leave.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Also, uh, some stuff kind of clicks. This company, Gorteesel Chemical,
was fairly recently acquired by Aries, so he probably is
no longer a UKs citizen. He's probably now an Ares citizen.
He's got an Aries corporate sin so he they own
him when they bought the company. They bought him.
Speaker 9: Wow, that's a pretty fucked up.
Speaker 3: But okay, he's trying to defect. Yeah, he wants to
go somewhere else where. It's gonna be, you know, a
better life for him and his family.
Speaker 10: He's moving to America from Germany during World War two?
Speaker 9: Yeah?
Speaker 2: And how much are getting you.
Speaker 3: Want for this?
Speaker 10: Oh?
Speaker 3: Right, we get paid this. This project that we've acquired
leads us to believe that he is a very valuable asset. Yeah. Also,
my life will be saved by this completion. I I
am prepared to give you the rest of my discretionary fund,
as well as money from my personal account.
Speaker 1: Johnson, if you don't stop talking in riddles, I'm going
to end your life right now.
Speaker 2: Give me an amount?
Speaker 3: How much is in the account?
Speaker 9: How much is your life worth you.
Speaker 3: Altogether?
Speaker 5: I have to agree with my big friend here.
Speaker 3: I should say between the amount, that's what you should say.
I should and I need to consult the GM is looking.
I know, I'm sorry. I gotta look at this cash
rewards table. I gotta find out the modifiers and the
multiplication highest quick look the highest opposing Yeah, I can
just say that, right, The highest opposing dice roll divided
by four plus whether or not you guys have been out?
Number three to one and modified by if you're facing
at least six paracriters, Like it's there's a whole lot
of things I gotta look at.
Speaker 5: Don't forget if in retrograde.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if there's a gay, I mean, I just I
just feel as the GM, this should have already been done.
Speaker 3: You know, honestly, you're right, But.
Speaker 2: What do you do you think we were gonna ask
this guy.
Speaker 3: It's gonna it's gonna go to ship anyway, so it
doesn't matter, You're not gonna getaid. You're all gonna die, so.
Speaker 2: Kills me take the job.
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, like it'll happen, so you'll have you'll
die some way. But he says, you know what, I
can make this fifteen thousand apiece. How many as guys
do we think there.
Speaker 1: Are in there?
Speaker 3: Own?
Speaker 1: You see, Knuckles has a look on his face that
clearly says that's it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Yeah, Mantis's eyes just narrow.
Speaker 3: He's pardon me, I forgot to add a zero, right, Yeah, yes,
take that number. Put one zero on both sides.
Speaker 2: Now you're talking riddles.
Speaker 4: I don't like it's one hundred and fifty thousand, is
what do you say?
Speaker 3: I get that forward This is an expression where I
come from.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a ship expression. Don't say it again.
Speaker 3: It makes me Sarah in my language, Sarah, it's your.
Speaker 9: Call, it's it's your fucking husband, it's.

from where gorteesel Chemical is. The pyramid is. It's the
as technology pyramid. It is in our coology. It's not
anywhere near as big as the Ache is, but it's
it's fairly big. It's a big building. But I mean you,
I mean, Ford knows, he knows these streets. Ford knows
that to get it from Gorties to the pyramid will
probably take about twenty minutes in the car.
Speaker 1: I can rest you, but I feel like maybe we
need to gear up more appropriately if we're gonna go
into the uh, you know, the jaws of the shark,
so to speak.
Speaker 4: Oh, yes, we'll certainly.

Speaker 9: Being hit man.
Speaker 3: But no, no, no, no, no no, this is not

simple security cameras and egal security.

I just want to restock a couple of greades.
Speaker 4: Okay, you got it, I'll drop at the chat.
Speaker 3: Lad sweet, we should.
Speaker 10: Go back to Gustavo and buy more of those shade
grenades like shade drugs that he has and just put
them into grenades.
Speaker 2: Honestly, can refresh my memory. What were those?
Speaker 10: So that was the item I bought from him when
we were gonna go abduct Sarah Murr And it like
just forces you into the astrol playing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, PUTI out of your body.
Speaker 10: So we should all have like super heavy duty gas
mask and just fucking start gassing everybody in there.
Speaker 6: And I could definitely gas with arrows.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's hilarious.
Speaker 10: I'm super tentative about you with arrows.

gave us two names last time. We can use the
other name.

person in our lives right now.

Speaker 2: Is startling strangely.
Speaker 3: Accurate, which is alarming to me.
Speaker 9: Honestly, I haven't worked in a corporate environment.

really good if you just sold out, honestly.
Speaker 1: So so what we're just getting go in guns blazing
and just get this guy out at the plan?
Speaker 3: No we should.
Speaker 10: I mean I think me and Sarah Mercier's someone a
bound spirit so it can control a bunch of our fund.

Speaker 4: The first policopter I see, Chris is three point two
million new end and has a rating of twenty eight

Speaker 7: I really wish I had like days to figure out
how to spend all my money.
Speaker 3: Fuck, so you guys, it's almost like, yeah, you guys
don't have to answer what you're buying right now. You
guys can do that, you know, off camp. But basically
where we're at now, we got about twenty more minutes
before endo night. So come up with ideas, plans, how
you want to do this, and you got a leg
work you want to do right now, and we can
do that up the equipment that you want. You guys
will be able to acquire if it's under fourteen for
availability or fourteen or under Sorry excuse me, I forgot
to do his name something something forward, some number fourteen
or less. But you guys can get it and get
it right away. He's got good connections, real good connections.
Speaker 10: One thing we might be able to do is because
a few of us have like bartender contacts, because see
if they can maybe start just unloading large amounts of alcohol.
Speaker 9: To all the security forces.
Speaker 4: That come in.
Speaker 10: So maybe if any of the areas guys are going
there for drinks they get fucked as ship.
Speaker 3: You reach out to your bartender contact, the guy that
sets you up where you you met the the Eagle
guys bag yeah in the time, and he's like, no, man,
those guys have I haven't seen him in a while.
It's been none of those Eagle guys come around anymore.
I guess their contract expired. They don't, they don't, they
don't work there anymore any like you guys, you know,
we get a couple of the new people here and
like I don't know, like the like the security thing
is like gone, you know, there's none of them. Talk
like yeah, I'd like a beer. Yeah, yeah, dude, Yeah,
of course there's a few of those guys. This guy's
names Adam. He comes in here all the time. He's
really fucking drunk, and then he starts talking about playing
something with a dragon, and I don't know, man, the
guy's a nerd, okay, drinks a lot of beer, a
lot of beer. The farts a lot too.
Speaker 4: This bar.
Speaker 3: Okay, there's not a lot of security guys that come
in though. I mean, like we get you know, the
occasional you know, Pond comes in off the street, but
you know, they're it's not like.
Speaker 10: A real big scene for Its not gonna not gonna
be an effective idea.
Speaker 3: I have question facilities in in that, you know, that
place for them to drink.
Speaker 7: Oh quick question, Adam, how how much new end does
it cost for.
Speaker 5: Ford's friendship?
Speaker 4: It's affordable, but you gotta pay like a monthly subscription.
Speaker 5: It's a live service.
Speaker 4: It's a live service game. Great, there's a four will.
Speaker 3: Pass Yep, there we go. By the way, you guys
micro transactions. Every dollar you send me in my PayPal account,
we'll get you, guys one new y game.
Speaker 9: Can I can I make an EDG.
Speaker 4: No, I'll pull up my four O one k decades
can say that like, I'm Canadian. We don't have.
Speaker 9: Government supports and protects you. That's understand.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well then we call it something different.
Speaker 3: That's the yeah, you guys, I'm sorry you guys are
in Canada. Is called a four oh one. Hey, I'm
just gonna fucking kill oh man? All right? So uh yeah,
so you guys. You guys are talking about setting up
a bunch of gas grenades with with shade to force
these guys to astraally project. That's a pretty solid idea.
You guys are able to definitely one of you guys
can get to a stuffer shack and see a Gestavo
and he can definitely hook you up. So don't these
guys wear gas masks?
Speaker 10: Thought, well, we haven't seen where here gas mask We've
seen them were like body are our head.
Speaker 5: Man they have secured.
Speaker 14: Yeah, but don't worry, we will too because now the
big issue is if if the guy we're trying to
save goes into the asprole am, I I assume he's
just fucked.
Speaker 10: I don't think we can go save him.
Speaker 3: So well, that's the thing is when you actually project
if you're, if you're you have to get back to
your body if you don't know where it is.
Speaker 10: So if he's not, if he's not like dual natured,
he might not be able to get back.
Speaker 5: What if? What if we out you die?
Speaker 3: What's up?
Speaker 5: What if?
Speaker 4: What if?
Speaker 5: So we ken't think we gas the place still?
Speaker 7: What if but first I you know, somebody doesn't have
to be me.
Speaker 5: It'd be cool though.
Speaker 7: It's turned visible again, and we go in and slip
a gas mask on the son of a bitch.
Speaker 10: Okay, sure we could work that in.
Speaker 4: You know, it depends on where he is and stuff too, like,
because like they're in offices, there's different rooms we can
gas like half them.
Speaker 10: Well, if we if we hire like a Decker, maybe
he can shut ventilation chafts towards that guy's room. The
gas doesn't go to him.
Speaker 3: It's a guess called Jimmy and you talked to him
about a decker. He's like, yeah, yeah, yeah, I got
the I got the one one guy only right now. Unfortunately,
that sounds such short notice a guy his names. He
goes by Turbo La. I think I sent his deets before,
but here they are again. Thanks Jimmy. I love hey. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I won't say I never gave you anything right.
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, we were just talking about
how you're one of the only people we could rely
on in this.
Speaker 3: Shitty Hey yay, Hey, don't say anything like that. I
got a reputation.
Speaker 10: Reputation is sterling, and no one should ever talk down
to you.
Speaker 9: If they do, we will kill them.
Speaker 4: Hey, I love you too, Huhel, but you've grown mummy Jimmy.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, like a fungus. Okay, yeah, If you guys
need anything from me again, you know, just give me
a call. But right now, I got uh, I got
a meeting with with somebody here. Yeah hey no no, no, no, no, no,
no good enough. You can cheer you no by who is?
I don't know who this is. He hangs up.
Speaker 10: That's surprising with his personality that he Mike actually get
someone that's that's good for him.
Speaker 3: Everybody deserves somebody, buddy.
Speaker 10: I'm not saying there everyone, it's just the way heat
service staff generally probably would push people away.
Speaker 1: No, he's gotten better, remember hm that was pointed out.
He's gotten better since the Christmas.
Speaker 9: Very very little bit.
Speaker 1: But yeah, Adam, I would like to go ask Sarah
if she is coming along with us for this.
Speaker 3: She's uh, she's she's willing to help. She says, Uh,
I can help you.
Speaker 10: I summon your super spirit.
Speaker 3: By the way, Well that's I mean, that's a ritual.
It takes time. I can can.
Speaker 10: I insist we.
Speaker 3: Can. We can do this. It's a very intimate experience.
But yes, we can. We can do this together.
Speaker 9: Okay, I'll go shot.
Speaker 2: Uh what uh? What what else?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 2: How else can you help? I mean obviously you've worked
at this place? Right, So as for his labs and.
Speaker 3: All that, well, I after the contracts terminated, I don't.
I don't work there anymore. I've I've been a full
time mom for oh it's probably been about a month
and a half now.
Speaker 2: All right, that's that's not too long ago.
Speaker 9: Yeah, are there any.
Speaker 10: Any weaknesses that we might not normally know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean you were kind of like one of
their security people, right, so you've got to have.
Speaker 3: Well, yeah I did. I did their their magical security.
I would have a spirit patrol and put up man
of barriers. Uh, I don't know. I haven't been in there.
I don't do that anymore. I'm sure that they probably
would maintain something similar protocols with spirits and man of barriers.
It's it's a magical research facility, mainly so that people
that tend to be interested in that kind of thing
tend to be magical themselves. So the barriers are most
likely going to be still in place. I mean, I
studied security for a little while. I've I've gone through
a bunch of different protocols and areas. Tends to run
a pretty tight ship. And they've got two separate private
security firms under their umbrella. I know a thing or two.
There's probably I would assume there might be some some
bargains or possibly other other per animals fargus, Yeah, big
one of those scary magic dogs.
Speaker 9: Cool.
Speaker 4: Yea a different contracts that would be really cool.
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's super cool.
Speaker 10: We should probably also talk to our connections on Aaron
knights Errant and you know, see, if they can delay
any response, right.
Speaker 3: Probably will Yeah, if you haven't waited, I'm sorry you
were able to delay a night Arab response.
Speaker 5: Love Times the first mission.
Speaker 10: Yeah, wow, we'll talk about that first person guys.
Speaker 9: Actually, I feel like that's not a good idea right now.
Speaker 3: Wait wait wait wait what's what you what what's going on?
Speaker 5: Oh? Ship? Now I said that out of character me.
Speaker 7: I said, oh, you guys, Yeah, you guys did your
you guys dug your own because man just doesn't remember
that fucking mission anyway.
Speaker 3: That's true.
Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure Forde told her what we just like, straight.
Speaker 9: Up no, I'm pretty sure she does not know we
did that first.
Speaker 7: Does not know, so because I was like, oh wait,
how do I know your name? And then you guys
said the fuck up?
Speaker 1: Yeah, but keep in mind that Johnson just said, oh,
Gorte's the chemical. You guys were there before, and she's
in that room, so I'm sure she's smart enough to
figured it out by now.
Speaker 3: She well, she's she's frazzled, okay.
Speaker 1: Yeah a lot, but now we're having a nice, normal conversation,
so she's less frenzy.
Speaker 3: You guys, are also at a diner. She's not there,
but you talked about it. She's like, I will help
you however I can. It's uh, but no, we could
do this ritual. We can summon a spirit. Okay, I
I'll help you. I'll bind it. It's it's a little intimate.
Speaker 10: So well, we can summon your spirit'll theme on a
different one than I will find that one. But your
spirit seemed super dangerous, because.
Speaker 3: Well we can, we'll summon together.
Speaker 9: Sure, yeah, that's great.
Speaker 5: Is this progressively sounding more sexual?
Speaker 9: Oh?
Speaker 14: All right, I forgot I got ye.
Speaker 3: So you guys, you talked to her and she she
gives you a little bit of insight into what she
thinks you might be able to expect. So she mentioned
bargess or maybe other per animals, so like magical animals.
She said that I've seen before I left that there
there was an order for additional cameras, so it's likely
they're installing additional surveillance, most likely man of barriers, and
Howard has said that they've been doing a bunch of renovations,
so I'm not sure what that entails. And it sounds
like he's been in a dormitory. I don't there were
no dormitories on the level that I was responsible for.
Nothing on the second floor. I'm not sure if hold on,
it looks like the company's on the third and fourth
floor got kicked out, so it's possible. Maybe they've repurposed
the third and fourth floors it's dormitories.
Speaker 10: Oh maybe we could just go in from the ceiling
like the roof.
Speaker 3: Excess with a helicopter.
Speaker 10: Or I could just levitate you guys up a hoboicopter.
Speaker 4: I did find a helicopter that only cost.
Speaker 3: Eight eight for one.
Speaker 5: Support this helicopter how much? I'm pretty sure. Actually I brought.
Speaker 6: Up helicopters earlier too.
Speaker 5: Helicopters.
Speaker 4: It's a one seater.
Speaker 3: It doesn't have to the pontoons. It'll be cool. We'll
just clip on with like you know, caraveeners and climbing
slip You got one that says like not for climbing
that you used to keep your keys? You don't have keys?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 10: What what keys in these access Oh my shitty burnt
out broken car with no engine.
Speaker 4: To the wheels.
Speaker 9: I just sleep in it.
Speaker 3: All right. I think I think we're probably gonna cut
here and we'll we'll discuss stuff offline and come up
with a plan and it'll be awesome.
Speaker 9: Okay.
Speaker 10: Uh so previous times I've worked with groups and tried
to plan offline. I just you know, want to ask
you guys to actually participate.
Speaker 9: Make sure.
Speaker 3: Oh I like that. That sounds good, some planning stuff.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I have us.
Speaker 3: I've seen that disaster on fold firsthand.
Speaker 5: Listen, help me.
Speaker 7: Uh if some pains me, I will, I will send
you a screenshot of how many servers I'm in and
it gets very dangerous.
Speaker 10: Chris, I I did the best I could.
Speaker 9: You know, I'm at the.
Speaker 10: End of the I waited until there was one week left,
and then I took control and we survived.
Speaker 1: One of us survived as relative. But anyway, uh, I
mean all right, listeners, we uh that's all we got
for tonight, So we will be back next week. It
sounds like the start of the final chapter, right, Aaron
