got tons of exclusive content over there that got weekly
or monthly art being released by Kyle the Redbeard. You
can hear on some of the other dragon Screen shows.
We got some more Shadow Run coming out on there eventually.
What else do we got going on over a Patreon?
I don't know. I'm not a member of the Patreon.
Speaker 2: It's it's it's too honest for me.
Speaker 1: I feel like I contribute a lot to the channel
in other ways by being on the channel.
Speaker 3: Give updates. You get the updates about exactly what's happening
in Chris's life, exactly Chris.
Speaker 1: I did spy on that a little bit, and it
is it is detailed, like I know what he ate dinner.
Speaker 3: It's great, it's great. It's great in case you wanted
to stalk him harder. Uh but yeah, what else is
on there?
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 3: They got the other shows. You get early access, I think,
to some stuff. You get, the art, you get, you
get a cool color for your name. For the discord.
That's where it's at.
Speaker 1: Yes, and yes, and and and even if you're not
a Patreon member, you should still check out the discord.
We invite people who don't pay us to just talk
to us as well.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you hang out, you can, you can, you can share.
We'll talk to you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, actually we like you. Recently, Danix, Oh yeah, dude.
Dan X, who has commented a couple of times on
the Shadow Run game, has recently popped on over to
the Discord. I've seen him on Facebook and stuff as well. Uh,
he's a pretty cool guy because he comments on the videos.
And if you want me to call you cool, leave
some comments. Otherwise you fucking suck. No, thank you for listening.
But also.
Speaker 3: A little thirsty there, little honestly, a little desperate honestly,
So my wife has abandoned me and she's left to
go and do things with her sister this weekend, and
so I've been all alone.
Speaker 1: So I am thirsty, Ethan, it shows real thirsty?
Speaker 3: Is that what the notices? The outfits that these Canadian
guys are wearing, Yeah, with button up shirts and it's
fucking hot as.
Speaker 4: You, Adam, you're the only one not wearing of a
button no shape even.
Speaker 3: I guess, I guess.
Speaker 1: So.
Speaker 3: So CJ has done this thing that's that is blowing
my mind, and you're you're probably gonna hear me talk
about it a lot today. CJ has transformed into a
cartoon character.
Speaker 5: Somehow can't see it in a format you know, we'll
never know, but I have transformed.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So in our little uh we're recording this through zoom,
in our little zoom video session where we can all
see each other, CJ is now a cartoon character, and
there's a little pixie fella flying around near her that
she cannot directly interact with.
Speaker 1: The watermark.
Speaker 3: That's the watermark. Either way, it's awesome and my mind
is blown. Is thoroughly entertaining me. I am wearing a
T shirt because I am lazy.
Speaker 1: Nice speaking of Since, Adam, since you were speaking, why
don't you introduce yourself, talk about your characters, talk about
your life.
Speaker 3: Okay, sorry, that's me. I'm Adam. Hello. I will be
playing someone I'm not sure who, but probably like Ludes
or maybe Marv, possibly Jacob. We'll see what happens one
of them. I'm gonna let you guess which one. One
was a nice guy, one's not a nice guy. One
of them nice to punch people.
Speaker 6: There you go.
Speaker 3: Anyhow, what have I been up to. Let's see work?
You know I do that pretty frequently. I went to
Saint Louis over last weekend. That's where I was. That's
why I wasn't here, and that was pretty rad. It
was a great, you know, easy going weekend. I got
to meet up with If you if you're familiar with
Shatter Run content, if you've listened to Shatter Run podcasts.
There's one called Resting glitch Face. If you haven't listened
to it, listened to it. It's great. I got to
hang out with Sid from Resting glitch Face in person,
which was really cool. Sid works in this really cool
place where there's bee hives on the roof and you
can go see them. It's awesome. So we did that.
But it was cool. We got to We got to
hang out and had fun and uh uh we met
each other's wives, which was cool. And I got a
tattoo that was cool. I ate a lot of great
food I got. I got this crape that had pistachios
on it. Man, it was great. I love pistachios, and uh,
what else?
Speaker 1: What else?
Speaker 7: What else?
Speaker 3: What else? Will oh? Gen Con that's coming up, that's
coming in real soon a couple of days, we're gonna
be in in uh in Indianapolis, running some games, talking
to some people, hanging out.
Speaker 2: I think he's gonna be talked about it like it's
already happened, though, because this comes out afterwards, so wasn't.
Speaker 3: I remember that time when I went to gen Con
next week two weeks ago through. I don't know how
this works. I exist around time time is uh a
weird thing I like to I don't know if I've
talked about time before here, but I think time is
already all existing. It's like a book that I could
choose your own adventure book that already exists, and we
can only read in one direction, but you could flip
the pages to a different section. I don't let's not
talk about time. I'll be here for way too long.
Speaker 1: You just don't know the language. You ever seen the
movie Arrival?
Speaker 3: Nope?
Speaker 1: Oh well that's the premise of the that's the promise
of it. If you learn this alien language, you can
live at all points in your life at the same time.
Speaker 3: That sounds awesome. I will watch that.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So that time that I went to gen Con, it
was great. You know. I ran those games and I
met those people, and I drank some beers, and then
I also did some stuff. I got a book. Oh,
I got a book. I got a new book at
gen Con in the future subversion new role playing game,
cyberpunk fantasy thing kind of like Shatter Run a little bit,
maybe written by some people that wrote some Shadow Run stuff.
You know whatever, But it's cool. It's super cool. I'm
very excited. About having picked up the physical copy at
gen Con in the.
Speaker 1: Past the future.
Speaker 3: Yeah, all over the place, all throughout time subversion. Check
it out, fragging Unicorn games. There you go check.
Speaker 1: Them out again. All right, speaking of fragging unicorns, Ethan,
how are you doing?
Speaker 2: I got I thought I'd be the least likely person
for that transition that. Yeah, No, I'm doing great. I've
had a really fun busy week. I actually went well watching,
which is a thing that you have to do while
you're in Boston. So I had to go and do that,
which is great. First time I've done that. And I
actually got to see some whales, which is great because
you know, when we started this whole campaign, I was
talking about, you know, looking for dolphins and not actually
seeing any.
Speaker 1: So little almost saw a dolphin exactly, but you actually
saw there you go, mostly the tail.
Speaker 2: But yeah, no, it's that's really neat. I really love that.
And then also we are going to be moving in
a week and so it's been fun packing up tons
of boxes all of that, and so that's been keeping
me busy, and it's been stressing out my cat, which
is I think it's just it's such an interesting scenario
that one because like you go when you google, like
is my cat stressed out? And then they just describe
a cat.
Speaker 3: They're like is it is it?
Speaker 6: Like?
Speaker 2: Does it not have like does it have dismont attention?
Is it doing? And you're like, this is just a cast, right,
And it's so like, oh, it's just it's like I guess,
I guess it's always stressed out. And that's the problem
all cats at all times, like tell all the time.
Speaker 7: Sorry, you don't need to be sorry.
Speaker 1: How are you going on?
Speaker 8: H well, speak about cats.
Speaker 5: My cat knock stuff off off of my sewing table
and it's stabbed my foot.
Speaker 8: I've got a pin like halfway.
Speaker 3: Through my toe.
Speaker 4: I did I did hear that? It's like, look, you
can't just be happy. And after you stabbed me.
Speaker 3: Who's wondering what the hell you were talking about? What's
going on over there with this cartoon character?
Speaker 5: Oh okay, like I said, no one else can see
it because this is an audio based program. I set
up a vtube model because I thought that would be fun.
Speaker 8: I came onto the stream and I were.
Speaker 2: Like, what you feel more famous? Like I feel like
I'm talking to a more famous person because you are
this YouTuber.
Speaker 3: Now CJ's cartoon avatar has this weird tendency to wink.
I have I have concerned that your avatar is pink eye.
Speaker 8: I mean, yes, the eyes.
Speaker 2: But there you go.
Speaker 8: Hi, I'm c J.
Speaker 5: I'm playing Myrie the Leech and maybe also Shiova the Ghost.
Speaker 8: Uh uh we had. I don't know what else to
say about that.
Speaker 1: Very spooky. There you go. We got one more person left,
and that would be do o doo. What's up? How's
it going? How's it hanging.
Speaker 6: I've gone back to work. I was having a staycation.
Speaker 4: It was it was a nice I didn't need to
do anything, it was it was nice. But now I'm
back at work, and uh, I'm back to the chaos.
Speaker 6: I don't miss.
Speaker 4: But yeah, it's very It's been a very uneventful week
for me. But I am playing only Albatross and Albatross
accessories and uh yeah, I'm ready to uh have more traumas.
Speaker 5: Uh, just give me some of your trauma.
Speaker 8: I haven't gotten any.
Speaker 4: TRUMPA Yeah, I mean, I mean passing on traumas like
that technically doesn't make people friends.
Speaker 1: They don't. But yeah, you get even more reckless, get
real reckless with it, but yeah, I guess I'll talk
This is Me It's aired, also known as poultry Geist.
This week has been full of nothing but disappointment. I've
been disappointed because Dio asked me to make him a
playlist of Canadian music, and then I got excited because
I thought he was coming to Canadians out there was
a totally different reason why. I don't know if you
want to talk about how the podcasts are not there deal,
but yeah, he's not coming to Canada, so I don't
get to Ceteo's face, potentially because I thought maybe he'd
be coming to my neck of the woods but no.
And then on top of that, I found out that
or I posted in the discord in response to his request. Initially,
I posted a link to a single song known as
ram Ranch, and nobody said a thing about it.
Speaker 3: I didn't check it out. I didn't look at it.
I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: Yeah it's okay. Ram Ranch is the best song ever
inten it's about twenty seventy fold. Yeah, it's twenty sweaty
Cowboys in a shower.
Speaker 2: It clicked on the play list and I looked at it,
and I was at work and I went, I'm not
listening to any of this, and I just had to
close it.
Speaker 4: If it helps, I listened to it, but I also
disassociated like twenty seconds into the.
Speaker 6: Song and.
Speaker 3: The sense amount of spirit quest.
Speaker 6: I mean, I wasn't listening, but like at least that
was present for it.
Speaker 3: Ram.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but yes, that is the best song I ever
made in Canada. And there's an accurate description of what
it's like to live in Canada for sure.
Speaker 4: I mean, I hope this makes sense and or doesn't
make you angrier. I did put Let's Go to the
Mall by Robin Sparkles in it.
Speaker 1: Yep, that's okay.
Speaker 3: That's the second thing I was gonna recommend, other than
the one that I did, which was I'm in Love
with a Girl named Spike by skinkin Pickle. It's about
Spike from the Grassy.
Speaker 4: If it helps anything, as well, both songs made it
onto the playlist, So there you go.
Speaker 1: But yeah, no, so yeah, and then other than that,
I've been chilling. I eat pogos today because I'm alone,
and I like you guys don't have pogostick better be
like craft lunches. It's corn It's a corn dog, corn
dog of corn dogs. You know, like you just like
put like four of them on a plate and you
have a time of your life.
Speaker 6: So, corn dog, what's the word play on this? Why
is it called the pogo?
Speaker 2: It's like it's just it's a brand brand.
Speaker 3: Okay, corn dog nuggets up there?
Speaker 5: What was the thing in Britain like rock candy was
called something else like it was.
Speaker 3: Well, if it's England, they're probably calling something like like
a like Rocky Bach or something rocky Backy.
Speaker 8: No.
Speaker 1: I think I think we can all use and say
that the British are weird.
Speaker 3: They are England, You're weird. What's up with it?
Speaker 1: Yeah? What's up with that? Also, guys, we hit top
ten in games and leisure in Kenya.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, key yeah, thanks guys say yeah not seriously.
Speaker 1: Thank you for listening if you are in Kenya and listening.
If you're elsewhere listening, also thank you, but mostly if
you're from.
Speaker 3: Kenya, specifically Kenya.
Speaker 2: If you, dudes, jump onto your VPN, switch over to Kenya,
give us a listen.
Speaker 1: That's the best course of action there. And with all
that being said, it's time to return to the Twilight
City of dusk Fall. Last week are our heroes, our scoundrels,
our cult. Members of the Soul Seekers successfully managed to
steal the Eye of Kotar, along with a few other
things from the spark Rights in Charterhall. They did so
with i'll say animal casualties. I mean, Albatross kind of
killed a couple of innocent civilians. But that's ok.
Speaker 6: Oh, yeah it happened. What do you mean It sounds right?
Speaker 1: You know he was he was under the influence of
rage essence at the time, so that, yeah.
Speaker 6: It was definitely okay.
Speaker 4: It wasn't by choice that the person I shot down
from the plane threw it to my face.
Speaker 3: What I missed?
Speaker 1: You miss miss a lot. Listen to the episode, Adam,
not to listen to the.
Speaker 3: Episode, I will I have, because by the time you're
listening to this, I will have. I did. I listened
to it, and I probably enjoyed it.
Speaker 1: There you all maybe, But now that you've returned to
the library, we're entering into downtime. You guys managed to
get into downtime without getting into any problems because you
lucked out on the entanglements role and you have no friends.
Speaker 3: That sounds right, That sounds right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, But what else we got going on here. Albatross, dio,
would you say that albatross is someone who dreams like
or has dreams.
Speaker 4: Remember, he's a man who has more nightmares. The occasional
dream does come as a luxury, but very far and.
Speaker 1: Spare that night when you the next night. And this
may happen after other stuff that we described later on,
because time is a little wishy washy and and blats
in the dark. But the next time you sleep, yeah,
timey whamy. But the next time you rest, you find
yourself having a nightmare. Specifically, there seems to be like
a goat wearing a yellow that is eating your arm,
your good arm.
Speaker 6: Ooh.
Speaker 1: And despite any like inclination to, you know, maybe stop
that from happening, your body seems to be paralyzed in fear.
And as you look away from the goat, perhaps you
look up and there seems to be like a serpent
opening its maw, and then you are blinded by the light.
How and then you will wake up?
Speaker 6: How big is the serpent?
Speaker 1: I would say, like monumental in size, like kind of
beyond the scope of mortal comprehension.
Speaker 3: Fuck, that's that's that's some good, fucking weird dreams.
Speaker 1: But yeah, that that is the dream that you have
most recently after you return from this latest adventure, like.
Speaker 6: Man, I'm chipping out, man out here seeing a giant
fucking snake.
Speaker 1: Okay, uh wait one moment, Oh there's Jacob, Jacob Bridgewater.
Well let me get in.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 1: On the same evening, as you rest, you find yourself
standing atop of like a mountain on a bright sunny day,
when a large bird begins to tear like it flies
towards you, swoops down and begins to like tear at
your flesh.
Speaker 3: This is a dream.
Speaker 1: This is a dream.
Speaker 3: Oh okay, great, I'm.
Speaker 1: Like, this is I'm a I should have I should
have lied and said no, and then I would have
been like, gotchet. But yes, as you do this, the
the there's like a cloud or something above you of
that covers you in shadow. And as you do as
as the shadow kind of embraces you, this bird kind
of combusts and it burns and it falls, and there's
just a moment where Jacob Bridgewater begins to like dissect
the bird and eat its organs. You feel like that's
a very natural thing for you to be doing.
Speaker 6: In this moment.
Speaker 3: Seems right, it seems like the thing.
Speaker 1: Seems Yes, you know you have won those dreams where
you're just doing something and you have no idea why.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, all the time, I have a lot of weird dreams.
Speaker 1: Yes, and so does Chickup and so does Albatross. But
in this moment, yeah, you eventually wake up from that.
They Yes, you do not have a dream at all.
In fact, you've been finding that ever since you've descended
into the depths below and had your your dream like
walk and visit with whoever that was beneath the willow tree,
you have been unable to dream.
Speaker 2: Well, that's a little hard.
Speaker 1: To There's nothing I'm telling you what's happening. I'm not
saying about a roleplay that.
Speaker 2: I'm just saying. It's just like you're like, deal, here's
a cool dream, Adam, here's a cool dream.
Speaker 1: I mean, there was a whole episode dedicated to your dream.
Speaker 6: Another you get sleep deprivation, c J.
Speaker 1: I'm giving you the most difficult tream yet because you
will have agency. The next time you sleep. After returning
from with the Eye of Kotar, you find yourself feeling
particularly restless, and when you wake up, you find yourself
in your own bed. However, looming nearby is a figure.
It doesn't feel threatening, but there is somebody watched in
the corner. Are you do you say or do anything
at that point in time.
Speaker 3: I move.
Speaker 1: As you joy awake?
Speaker 6: Okay?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Absolutely?
Speaker 5: Wait okay, wait so you say I'm awake and then
I see someone looming Okay, that'd be immediate, just like
kind of like jump like fa like they jump out
of bed.
Speaker 1: That seems to be a figure in the darkness. Okay,
And as you fall backwards, you kind of fall into
like the sheets, and it surrounds you, kind of like
you are falling into a lake or like a body
of water. You you open your eyes and you find
yourself in that space that we once described when you
first found that that that place that you've cleaned is
your ivicetand that cathedral with the windows and the iconography
and the spirits that are walking around, right, Is there
anything that you would like to look at in here
or do before I move on? Tell you what happens next?
Speaker 5: What is so it looks it's like the people look
like the normal same, Like it doesn't look like there's
any like everything's still chill here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's very serene. That's the word I would
use to describe it.
Speaker 5: Yes, Marie would start walking towards the stained glass a
little bit.
Speaker 1: Okay, you walk towards the stained glass and for the
first time that you've been down here. I don't know
how often Marie's visited this place, but each time the
light outside has been too bright, it's been blinding, and
you haven't been able to see what's going on outside
of this group. But you see kind of often the distance,
and yet you can see every detail is as if
it's right in front of you. Is a man in
a yellow robe being eaten by a bird. You look,
maybe through a different stained glass window, and you see
albatross being consumed by a goat. And you look through
a third window and you see they being like you
see that seeing that we described when they was being
consumed by the man in the tree. You see that moment.
Speaker 3: What the fuck is going on?
Speaker 7: Well?
Speaker 1: Shit, and myrie. As you turn around, you see the
figure of the Weeping Lady, except that she's no longer
a statue. She is just a woman standing there with
large wings and she speaks to you. She says to you,
there are methods of finding your end. Your compatriots have
chosen something dark and something painful. Is this the path
you seek as well?
Speaker 5: I can't say getting eaten by yellow cloaks seems like
fun time. You're you're not mad at me?
Speaker 8: Right about the whole.
Speaker 3: Oak thing.
Speaker 1: I am beyond furious, but also beyond ecstatic and beyond loving.
I am I am saddened most of all. And you
do see that, like as she speaks to you, like
tears are pouring down her face, even though she's maybe
not expressing like sadness in her choice of words, that
this is an incredibly sad woman, like a supernaturally sad woman. Professional.
Speaker 3: Why do you mean?
Speaker 1: Yeah, she says, you have awoken something larger than you
would ever comprehend with. This comes much power, but you
and your compatriots must be prepared to pay the cost.
Speaker 5: And I assume those visions are showing what the cost is.
Speaker 1: For some of them, it's too late. But where the
man under the tree for nothing he offers is free.
And there's a moment where she closes the wings kind
of over herself, and they grow and they surround you
as well, And then you wake up and there's a
single feather on your chest. And now we go into downtime. Guys.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, okay, now now we're now we're good.
Speaker 1: Now we're good. Now we're good. Remember, you guys chose
to receive visions big almost few comprehensible visions that describe
what may or may not be your God's will?
Speaker 3: Uh? Did we?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 2: Okay, I like to or may not, may not like
that gives more information.
Speaker 1: I do or do not know.
Speaker 6: Let's get it.
Speaker 4: I'm getting anxious, but.
Speaker 1: Yes, well, maybe return back to the moment that you
guys re entered the library. You see, Marv is there,
Marv and and his injured gang of doctor thugs. They
seem to be kind of tending to their wounds. Marv
scenes particularly upset that he didn't get the fight master Crocket.
Speaker 6: Oh, I got.
Speaker 3: A bunch of bunch of the face.
Speaker 1: You also see that. Yeah, Daniel dere Visa's there to
greet you whoever you want. But go ahead and tell
me what you guys would do when you return back
from this latest score. We can talk mechanics, we can
talk narrative. I'm just giving I'm opening the floor.
Speaker 3: I think I think if Marv and the dockors got
roughed up. From my understanding, there were dogs involved, So
that's a fun uh. They they'd be hanging out with
the late Days getting their heel on.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, and so camera they're all.
Speaker 3: Like eating eating eating sauce. I don't know what's in
the sausage, considering you know the food situation, but they're
allly eating sausages and it looks like a bunch of
dudes with stogies. But they're eating sausages and like talking
and playing cards while getting bandaged up.
Speaker 1: Absolutely and mechanically cohorts here will heal differently than you
guys do. At least I'm gonna homebrew this. They will
recover as long as you don't use them in downtime
at a rate of one per down time, so they'll
be back two more downtimes. They'll be at full how okay,
But yeah, that is what you all return to. She
Ova found some documents and she's sharing them with the group.
Speaker 5: Ah, this is like right when everyone gets back. I
think she was out later because she was like hanging
out with that guy to like soul suck them. Yep,
So I think she she's like anna be returning until
later so the girl is actually gonna be behind they
the whole time, just kind of following him.
Speaker 3: Got lot of them souls, huh.
Speaker 5: Yep, slurp it up those souls.
Speaker 3: Put a little bit of lowry on them souls.
Speaker 1: They How does it feel to be followed by this
strange girl that you me or may not have actually
spoken to before.
Speaker 2: Well, I'll give her this much. You know, I'm pretty
happy that she's not that much of a taka because
it kind of lets me think. And actually, you know,
they's quite happy with how you know, that score went,
and so you know, there's definitely I think, you know,
there's an amount of you know, deal or yeah, I'm sorry,
Albatross got really scuffed up in that in the last
one there, So I think there's a bit of you know,
uh maybe yeah, maybe, you know kind of I think
trying to talk out cross up a bit of it's like, hey, like,
you know, you did a really great job there, and uh,
you know, he really, you know, gave one for the team,
and I got to say, you know, against all odds, yeah,
sure as heck, you know, took care of that woman.
Speaker 6: I completed my twos, and uh.
Speaker 2: You know, I think, yeah, coming back. You know, Adam
kind of just described this thing of like, you know,
the doctors there and stogies and all of that, and
I think there is, you know, a good cause for celebration.
You know, we've you know, this is no small feet
and so you know, maybe just having a quick a
quick round of of you know, shots all around to
just kind of say, you know, good job and you know,
congrats to us for having completed this and have made
it back mostly unscathed.
Speaker 3: I would love for the doctors as as you propose
around the shots. The doctors still all start kind of
chuckling a little bit, and uh and you know some
of them started they start throwing elbows into each other
and like all at once they stop and they all
turn to you, and all of them lift up flasks
and they're like yeah, and they're all like laughing, slapping
each other on the back. And one guy's like I
got bit there by a dog, you know, and uh,
and you know they start drinking and you know, like
these guys have been drinking a little bit, but now
they're like, well it's a party, so you know, they
start pouring out and like it turns into a thing
where these guys. Most people's idea of, you know, a
good time of celebrating and drinking. These guys are fucking crazy.
So you start, you know, having a couple of drinks
and like these dudes are like pooring and pooring and pooring,
and you've got like it tastes like lighter fluid, Like
you're getting like stuff this dude made in a bathtub,
Like you're getting crazy stuff and like it gets raucous.
Oh ah, hey up there in Canada, you don't have
my lord, be grateful.
Speaker 1: Lord.
Speaker 3: Okay, you've probably never heard of it. Keep it that way.
Speaker 1: It's the worst.
Speaker 3: Anybody that knows about Malort, it's the worst. I got
a buddy. You you're listening to this. You probably know Kyle.
Think about Kyle. You probably know he claims to like Malort,
and I know he's lying. And I know he's lying
because it's impossible. It's disgusting. It's like a dandelion liqueur.
Maybe I don't know. It tastes like if you were
to take if you were to take like a like
an ash tray, right and you leave it outside and
it rains into the ashtray and then you pour that
in through an old gym sock and then you wring
that out and then you put some brown whatever that
it means into it and then drink that. That's what
fucking milort tastes like. It's discussing. It tastes the exact
same as my bile. It's the worst. It's the worst.
But yeah, they're drinking.
Speaker 1: They're drinking milord and a drink alort. I'm gonna roll
a for them. Yeah, because guys, and specifically Marv, acquired
an asset recently, a bunch of supplies. Oh yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 3: The sausage stogies came from. They're probably filled with like hagfish.
It's probably a hagfish that's stuffed with cricket, ground up
cricket and then grilled.
Speaker 1: Right. I will give you a couple options based on
what I what the world ends up being about, what
your benefits or harm of this are. Let's do it, okay,
so it's benefits. I will give you a choice. Either
I will allow you to fill up three sections of
the acquired followers clock, or I will allow you to
move up two satisfactions with the citizenry of six towers.
Speaker 3: Ooh, that's a hard choice.
Speaker 2: I want the second one I want. I think. I
think one of the things that we've been doing has
been getting you know, helping six towers grow and you know,
and and and into that, right, and if you're throwing
a great ranger, that like, you know, goes out a
little bit into the rest of the town as you know,
people are having fun, separate and they go out and
all of that. And then I think, yeah, it drives
really well.
Speaker 3: I like it. I like it. I'm into it. That's
that's cool.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so the thugs and you guys are welcome to
partake and joined in as well. But the thugs, these doctors,
they kind of burst forth after you've had a few
rounds and they decide that they need to take the
party to the streets and they take these crates that
market brought over out to the streets and they basically
start a cookout in the ground.
Speaker 3: I love it in the loud yelling Drake come out over,
you know when people start and throwing, well, you gotta
keep it down. It's like, I keep it down. We
got sausage, people like. I like sausage, And yeah, part
the sausage coming out of.
Speaker 6: Exist.
Speaker 1: But it's not great.
Speaker 2: But it's bread.
Speaker 3: It's probably I would imagine got bone in it, a
lot of like ground up bone meal in the back.
Speaker 6: Can I have boneless spread?
Speaker 3: We don't have that. There is there a vegan option, No, no,
there's not.
Speaker 1: A Yeah, can get vegetables. You can get things like that,
but it's expensive and a lot of it's imported from
a Ruvinia. Otherwise, if you want to be vegan, eat
the mushrooms. That's what's going on.
Speaker 3: But the mushrooms are fed off of corpses. Do they
still count as vegan?
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 6: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 5: The mushrooms are like the high of mine, so they
could be their own organism.
Speaker 3: It's true. I think mushrooms are probably like the third
smartest thing on the planet, behind you know, Octopi and
something else. I'm not gonna say humans because it's definitely
not us pie.
Speaker 1: But yeah, So this party kind of breaks out, and
I will say it lasts like I've got about twenty
four hours, Like I think they oh nice as people
kind of come and, like you, guys almost lose control
of this party. As people are coming and going off
of these university grounds. Their students are getting involved. The
dockers are probably passed out and the party's still rages
without them. Oh no, the.
Speaker 3: Doctors don't pass out. They're they're used to it. They're harders.
But like there's probably there's probably like a boxing match
going on somewhere and people are like yeah and like
uh like ah fighting by and then like that guy
gets knocked out instantly, you know, that kind of rowdiness,
rough and tumble.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think this is as good a time
as any while this party is raching on, Lord Skirlock
happens upon you guys. So he's walking towards the library,
he sees this party. He is polite, and he bows
and waves, maybe even shakes a few hands on his
way until he until he knocks on the side of
like a like a door jam where you guys have
this this sheet.
Speaker 3: He knocks on the hole in the wall.
Speaker 2: He comes in the side sheet entrance, Yeah, the employee entrance.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, I mean it's one of those things where
he sees people coming and going from there. Yeah, And
so he goes over and he makes his presence home
with a knock. He can see inside because the sheet's
probably pulled to the side or whatever.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I mean people are in and out like
there's there's I would imagine there's like silly like as
he goes and he knocks like a doctor is like
chasing like uh like one of the weeping ladies and
like she's like running and she's like and he's like
Jasonerre doing weird fingers and he's like, come here, lady,
I'm gonna get you. And then she's like, yeah, it's
like you gotta, I gotta. I got a wound you
can hurt or you can help. You won't hurt the wounds.
I got a wound that it needs dressing it. I
got more hurt than you got, skirt lady. And he's
chasing her and it's silly and they're giggling and maybe
maybe they're gonna smooch later, who knows.
Speaker 2: And so with most of the main characters, I guess
at at a table seeing what car lot you know
would be like and to and to you know what
do we owe the pleasure?
Speaker 1: Yes? I want to check in is Albatross? Here is he?
Before MM before I get into r P M Albatros.
Speaker 4: The Albatross took two glasses of whatever the strongest thing
they had there.
Speaker 3: Oh bad Joyce, and he's.
Speaker 4: Now essentially doing not recon well, I mean like recond
Like he's on top of the roof of the Academy
and it just kind of okay, he's.
Speaker 8: Drunk on a roof. That's great.
Speaker 1: You're drinking.
Speaker 3: You're drinking the rocket fuel and you're on the roof.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So you would have seen lord's Lock approaching because
like there's a little bit of commotion wherever he goes
as the citizen recognize him. You can tell that like
a lot of the people here really respect him or
like want his favor or his attention, and like a
good politician, he can offer it in about eight second
intervals before he moves on. So you would assumed that
he's coming. And so I don't know if you join
them or not, but Lord Skirlot will see. Yeah, you
introduce yourself into a second here, but you're not here
right this second. As Lord Skirlock comes in and he
offers a polite bow to to Bay and Myrie ludes
if he's there, I think so, I mean.
Speaker 3: I gotta I got a real quick question before we proceed.
If it's cool. I remember at one point, uh if
you miss a week with the character they recover from
possible tity damage.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it moves down one level.
Speaker 3: Okay, so he's at a level two titty hook.
Speaker 1: Yeah, get your titty out going curious.
Speaker 3: So yeah, so he's in the in the case, then
Lud's is definitely there. He's hanging out with everybody.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, So you went from like kind of like
pretty injured and like maybe you know Sawtooth's care to
your your back and you're able to tend to your
own wounds or rely on the weeping ladies to dress
them and stuff like that. So the three of you
were there at the table. Albatross might be joining a second,
and he does. He says, hello, I've come to uh
just have a short discussion. I didn't realize you were
you were hosting an event. Honestly, we didn't know, Oh Albatross,
I did not see you there. But allow me to
take a moment. I must apologize for our last meeting.
I let my emotions get the best of me, and frankly,
you've deserved better than that.
Speaker 6: Honestly, if you wouldn't me dead, I would have been gone.
I understand you.
Speaker 1: But I've come because I have a favorite to ask
of me.
Speaker 2: Could it be about your political race?
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, it is. It'll be coming
up in the next few weeks, you know, election day.
First of all, I hope that you would consider voting
for me as the Six Towers representative. I'll be the
first since the fall of the district. But I've inserted
myself on the ballot. We only need fifty percent of
the district to vote to and state me as a counselor,
which is where my favorite. Oh yeah, but.
Speaker 3: What do you what's your him and drinking a little bit?
So you got you to forgive me? What what's your
stance on the politics of Uh?
Speaker 6: You know?
Speaker 1: What do yeah?
Speaker 3: What are you doing? What's kind of Let me tell people,
I don't know, I don't know if vote, I can
I vote? I don't how's it? What are you gonna
do for poor people?
Speaker 1: Well, my my biggest concern again is actually for the
poorest people of our city.
Speaker 3: All right, yeah, you got me, you got my vote.
Speaker 1: And and he will outline basically ignoring the louts, and
he will he will talk a little bit about his policy,
I guess, And and his big thing is is that
he wants six towers to become more than what it is,
and specifically that he feels like that White Crown and
bright Stone received more than their fair share of resources.
Speaker 3: Is yeah, yeah, you know the people here too, you know,
just because when it's not fancy.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 3: Also of the buildings have holes in them. His gestures
all around wildly, you know. I mean, it doesn't mean
that there's that people, you know. I mean sometimes you
gotta you know, it will help. He's not wrong with that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there are people who would not appreciate me being
on the city council, which is where my favorite comes in.
I believe that you are aware of the violence that
usually occurs on most election days, and we flash back
to anyone who's lived in dust Fall long enough. The
newspaper itself posts warnings that you should bring a helmet
and any weapons you need to defend yourself while you
go in uh, while you go and vote. So most
of the city does not vote. However, I would hope
that you might be interested or able to provide protection
on election day for our citizens.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I thought. You're gone with that, yeah,
you know, And on top of it, I think if
maybe there's a lot of people. I don't know how
much time you spent right around here right now. There's
a lot of people outside, you know, and they've they've
been drinking and they have a sausage and maybe, you know,
we go outside and we uh tell them you here,
you know, maybe they uh they'll vote for you. You know,
it's and and we'll make sure that they're good. You al,
it's a community. And he does he interlaces his fingers
and like his fingers are like fucking gross. I don't
know if this has come up before, but they're really gross.
Like he's got long, like brittle, like yellow fingernails, and
like his fingers are like long, like Urcinio Hall's long
ass fingers. Like they're like long, you know.
Speaker 2: From you this like this whole game as you go.
I don't know if this has come up before, but
it's really gross.
Speaker 3: Image of them. Yeah, no, he's in. They're gross, and
like he's got like these really long and they're like
these brittle, long, yellow like hard cracked fingernails and he
interlaces them, and his knuckles are like super super like raw,
but his fingers are like real pale and they're like
these like raw like beaten like knuckles like it like
you look at me, You're like that dude needs some lotion.
But he like interlaces his fingers and they've got some
of them have warts and some of them have like
open wounds. And he's like, you know, I forgot where
he's going with this, but my fingers a pretty fucking gross.
But yo, come together, you know, and like we'll protect
them and the whole the whole thing, you know, and
they will vote for you because they like you, and
you know, you go out there and you tell them
and we'll back you up, and you know, we'll we'll
make sure they're safe and it will vote and we'll
make you you know, I'll put you in there and
all you gotta do is just go out there.
Speaker 1: Is it this? He is, thank you for explaining that
to me. I was unaware.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I got you know, I got ideas sometimes,
but you know, it's also got a lot of d.
Speaker 6: And I got this.
Speaker 3: And he pulls up his shirt and he exposes his
like ripped off titty and he's like, I got a
wound this big.
Speaker 6: It's Avatrize and Jackson, all right, So anyways.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the look on Scarlock's face while Luds is talking
is one of like infinite patients, Like he is fully
prepared to sit here and let Luds talk at him
for as long as it takes. But he is also
like almost imperceptibly relieved when Albatross interveins and he says, yes,
My concern is is that there are two members in
particular who have quietly under the threats that they would
prefer I not to be on the council, one of
them being Lord Strangford of the Lebiathon Hunters. The other
is the head of the Ministry and Preservation.
Speaker 6: I am.
Speaker 1: Understand their their concerns, but the democratic process is important
to us. All would not be upset if something were
to happen to either. And he looks right at Albatross when.
Speaker 3: He says, mister kill people.
Speaker 1: But most importantly, I would be willing to renegotiate the
terms of our arrangement to benefit you quite greatly. If
I find myself on the City Council, perhaps even you
might find yourself with a bit of authority here, maybe
even get the university accredited.
Speaker 8: Establishments.
Speaker 1: Yes, well, with the diversion of resources to areas that
I deem more appropriate, Perhaps it wouldn't be so humble
something to consider. Just note that on an election day
there will certainly be violence in the streets as again
it's pretty common, but you keep our people safe, and
I find that you will probably find that day it
will benefit you greatly. And before he leaves, he just
quickly goes to shake Fay's hand and he he puts
like a small like note in your hand.
Speaker 3: Oh, it's like how Grandma gives you cash.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he says, enjoy your festivities. I wish I
could stay longer, but unfortunately I don't partake.
Speaker 2: Well, we appreciate your patronage, and then we haven't we
haven't paid Scarlock for the sponsor feed right, so no,
maybe when they goes to pay him, he will then
pocket over the note back into Jay's hands.
Speaker 1: Yeah absolutely, I am. Oh, go ahead, I have.
Speaker 3: An idea of something I'd like to do. If you
guys don't like it, let me know. But I think
ludes would want to ambush Skirlock when he tries to
leave with like like announcing him being there to the party.
Speaker 1: Okay, I mean the the party members goerst did him
come in?
Speaker 6: Well?
Speaker 9: Yeah, but like no, no, absolutely go ahead, okay, go
drunk mango, So yeah, yeah, sorry.
Speaker 4: Do you no say what he's gonna do first, and
that will dictate how Albatross is going to respond.
Speaker 3: Basically like he's gonna stumble out and be like, ebody, look,
I got Lord Skirlock's here, he's he's here, he's uh.
You know we could have done this with Adam, you know,
his party anything, you know, all of this and this guy, yes,
Kim can we can? We can't gave it up? Give
it up for large scarlat yes, clapping.
Speaker 1: And and the crowd, the at least the ones that
can hear you, they do. They turned to Skirlock and
they clap for him. They say thank you, thank you,
good sir, and and then again he Lord Skirlock doesn't
seem to flinch as he is he makes his way
through the crowd, stopping and he spends about eight seconds
almost exactly with every single person exactly who.
Speaker 8: He's done.
Speaker 3: Luke's is gonna like like ramble on and he's gonna
say a bunch of bullshit that's not true about Skirlot.
He's gonna be like this food. You know, he brought
the food at the party, it was his he would
party wouldn't happened if Scarlat didn't do it. This guy,
this guy is Skirlat. Hey, we'll get this guy. Wow
tall he is.
Speaker 2: I see this guy's friends.
Speaker 3: Like this guy. If you don't, if you don't pick
this guy, you know, when the time, you guys got
to vote for this guy. And we're gonna be there
and and the dockers and the doctors are like, wa.
He's like, the doctors would be there and the doctor
if you if you will for him, the doctors wn't
beat up. Anybody tries to beat you up. And the
doctors are like, well, beat him off.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 3: He starts to get all like you know, frantic and
ship and uh, he's going to try to like you know,
like stoke the flame in all of these people at
the party.
Speaker 1: Fair enough, is Alba trust going to react to this
at all?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 6: He's laughing.
Speaker 1: Okay, cool, all right, go ahead and give me a
role there. Yeah.
Speaker 3: It feels to me like a Sway roll or you
know what probably better than Sway in this situation is consort.
But but I'm gonna do Sway because it's the one
that I've got. One bonus.
Speaker 1: So it'll be one persue. It's gonna be controlled, and
I'm gonna say it's for limited effect. Because there's a
party going on. Only half the people can even hear you.
Lord Skirlock is correcting people.
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, so you got a three. Yeah, so
you can.
Speaker 1: Press on by seizing a risky opportunity, or you can withdraw.
Speaker 3: What does it mean? What does it mean? I've never before.
Speaker 1: Okay, so this is kind of what happens when you
do control for limited you faltered. So like the the
momentum of it, it's really only impact you who's trying
to get it going in the doctors who are already
on your side. Everyone else is kind of like this
guy's fucking hammered and yeah, is trying to get further
and distance himself from you. But if you were to
press on, I would increase the risk to risky and
you could try again.
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, yeah, boot and rally, let's go, uh and
I'm gonna push. There we go, Push for the extra.
Speaker 1: Die, push for the extra die. There we go. I'll
give you a Dellas bark. Yeah, hit me, baby Skurlock
will have a problem with lutes specifically, Yes, and I
get extra die. Yeah, yes, perfect, here we go, all right, six.
Speaker 3: Baby, you do it. I draw attention to him. I
draw attention to him, and I say something that he
doesn't want said. You know what, I think you something
about him being able to do magic.
Speaker 1: That is exactly what I was going to suggest. And yeah,
there's a moment where he stops in his tracks and
kind of looks at ludes. The person who he's shaking
the hand of at the time just feels him like
start to crush their hand. Yeah. Yeah, there's a moment
where he's like percent. The guy's like, oh my god,
what the love? So sorry, sir, I'm so sorry. You
know what. Enjoy the rest of your party, and he
slips from a coin like a couple of silver go get.
Speaker 3: That looked at I got. There's I haven't watched basically
any of it, but there's a show called Boardwalk Empire,
and it's got like, uh, you know, Steve Buchmi, thank you.
I saw like part of one episode one time where
like it's just it's just the scene where Steve Buchmy's
like sitting on this bed next to like a child,
and the child's like upset and Steve Buchmi just hands
them a lot of cash and then walks away, Like
that's that's what that show is. In my mind, is
just Steve be like here's a lot of cash and
walking away. I mentioned that's what happens. Like, sorry about
your hand, here's a lot of cash.
Speaker 1: He walks away. Yeah, but yes, the the people themselves,
like the party kind of picks up in full swing.
They're they're people are cheering and they're shouting the praises.
A lot of them are drunk. But yeah, it does
seem too to have some impact on the crowd. Go ahead, there,
I'll trus deal.
Speaker 4: Uh hearing that? H so so wait wait now so
he questions the guy's hand, gives him the coin, and
now he's leaving. Yeah, he was already leaving, okay, like
like like he's gone now.
Speaker 1: I mean, if you he's talking a lot of people,
it'll take him like a minute to get out for sure.
Like if you want to talk to him, you can.
You can catch up to him, no problem.
Speaker 6: Okay.
Speaker 4: Now, if it's not escalating in any way, then yeah,
Albatross is just gonna he's gonna be really upset with
with him with ludes but.
Speaker 1: That's fair. That's the other permon of the Doublest Park,
and everyone hates I'm kidding.
Speaker 6: Thank you.
Speaker 3: It's just there's something I don't like. I don't know, listeners,
if you whether or not you know this. Dio and
I have been in real life. We've been friends for like,
I don't know, man, it's been like twelve years or
something like. It's been a long ass time, me and Dio.
Out of all of the people that I do any
kind of gaming stuff with, like Deo is probably like
one of my best friends. All of my characters and
Deo's character are at odds, like they none of them
get along. But in real life, like I would, I would.
Maybe I might take a bullet for Dio.
Speaker 1: Dude, my characters hate them.
Speaker 2: That's fair, comfortable enough to pretend to hate each other.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I just like, I know, I'm good with it.
I'm sure deal is good with it. I want to
make sure the listeners are aware, like it's all for fun.
Speaker 1: It's all fun. Mm hmmm. Yes, that moment goes and
not and mechanically it is going to increase the amount
of turnout for the collection day. Fuck you guys, are
there to protect them or not. But the election day
is it's weeks ahead. We'll say it's about three or
four weeks. We'll say it's a month from now, well
a month our time, it's less than a month. In
Dustball time is only six months in the year. But yes,
you have a bit of time to prepare to deal
with that, decide if you're going to deal with that.
They if you look at the note that he gave you, yeah,
oh yeah, say, it's a list of five names with
addresses you recognize. Strangford and I will have the name
for you but after the break, but I don't have
it currently. It's also the name of the person who
is in charge of the Ministry Preservation. H You also
see you also see a few names listed as they
would be, like people like important people in the Viathant
hunters and at the Ministry Preservation. And a single name
of a banker.
Speaker 3: That's the that guy is the werewolf.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, you know there's two banks in in in
in the city, and one of them is in bright
Stone and the other one is in White Crown. This
is the one for bright Stone.
Speaker 3: Where's the We're missing one piece of this, dude. We
got the eye. We got the hand the.
Speaker 1: Rich white Yeah, same white at the ministry preservation.
Speaker 3: All right, cool, that's that's what I thought. Maybe it's
one up a.
Speaker 1: Check, no worries. But yes, and you guys will subtract
two coin if you want to, can just pull it from.
Speaker 3: The understanding come out.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so take it out of your vault. Shall leave
it in the vault and I'll take it out of
your loose coin.
Speaker 6: There you go.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you guys have paid him, you had an
interaction with him. He's giving you a task. Whether you
choose to take it or not is up to you.
But yeah, we're in downtown, guys. Anything else you'd like
to do in this moment or in a moment in
the near future. We can always flip back and forth
between this moment and in the future as well.
Speaker 5: So so the girl who was still vollowing that at
some point someone gave her like a drink, so she
just awkwardly holding it.
Speaker 8: Now she does she's not drinking, she just got shoved at,
or she's just souling it out.
Speaker 5: So that is like this calm moment of relatively cong
because it's a party, she'll she'll awkwardly kind of try
to like go up to him be like, well, uh,
I we haven't really talked a lot, I know, because
like I mean, when I first got here, it was
like really busy and things seem to be really disarrayed.
Speaker 8: So I mean, I I've never really gotten a chance
to talk.
Speaker 3: Leave me alone, Adam, I'm sorry. Character. Your character keeps
winking at me. It's so weird. I love it. It's
so cool. It's so cool. But as time to be alive.
You I'm talking to a cartoon. It's so fucking cool.
Speaker 7: I'm sorry.
Speaker 3: I'm so excited.
Speaker 1: And this double checking. You're talking to bab hey talking
to a Oh.
Speaker 2: Oh, that's yeah. We're happy to have you on.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: Uh when we last talked it was Hiova. But I
take it I'm not talking to Shioba.
Speaker 8: Oh no, no, she hasn't come back yet tonight.
Speaker 3: Hm hmm. I was so questioned, is uh.
Speaker 2: As you know, this is a school, we are a
university of sorts, and so I guess I can say,
would probably do your best if yeah, you could find
a way to work here in your off time as
well as on time, so you know, been if you
like to do lessons or and it's just trying to
you know, I guess come up with small talk to
someone who you know, didn't really present very much and
is just kind of sitting there awkwardly. So he just
kind of describes the curriculum a little bit. You know,
we do we do a quad mester, and you know, they,
I guess we'll spend a bit of time and I think,
like seeing the thread not really move much, they will
start kind of monologuing a little bit in this case,
and he's like, you know, I I go through and
I mostly focus on accounting, uh and going through that way.
You know, there's also uh, some amount of masks that
we go through a little bit into some stats. But
you know, we keep we keep it mostly light on
the this stem side of things and focus mostly in
on ethics for for the semesters we've had so far.
It's a it's a little rocky at the moment.
Speaker 3: I would love for ludes to stumble in, Hey, look,
I asked some questions. I have questions for you. So
you're you're like the person what right, Yeah, ghosts.
Speaker 4: Sure?
Speaker 3: If you if you if you get drunk, right, and
the ghost is is the ghosts drunk or.
Speaker 2: Is it just you.
Speaker 3: I don't know, you haven't really drunk, does she? If
she's in you, do you and you're drinking? Is she
sober and you're drunk? Are you just in the back
and you're like, I mean it's kind of.
Speaker 8: I know what I do is kind of illegal to
have a ghost in me. So we haven't really tried
getting drunk.
Speaker 3: You know, I don't worry about you know, the loss
is just it's like a like a like suggestions. You know,
as long as you're not doing something, it's gonna get
you caught by your little blue coats. You'd be okay,
and honestly, like, nobody here is gonna really I mean,
I don't know if nybody's gonna talk about what you're
doing when you're doing your thing. But I got questions. Okay,
so what like is it? Is it like being asleep?
Speaker 6: You know?
Speaker 3: Is it relaxing there's somebody else in there?
Speaker 8: I mean, I'm aware of what goes on when she's
in control, like.
Speaker 3: We're we're both comfortable or he like kind of getting squished.
It's it's a living I guess this is like a
ghost choke. I like it.
Speaker 6: I like it.
Speaker 2: I imagine As this is happening, she's moving more and
more into a corner, but she's crushing her further into
the corner for like just pressed in.
Speaker 3: It gets to the point where was like.
Speaker 8: Looking at me like help, help, help get close.
Speaker 3: He gets too close to the point where like you
can like you can feel him breathing on you, and
like his breath is not good. Uh, and you see
like just like you're you're just all you can see
when he's talking to you, Like you can't look away
from like these wooden and gold teeth as he's talking
to you, and like this like all you can think
about is just like the wooden and gold teeth and
he's like ask, yeah, I'm not in you just see
like wooden and gold teeth and just like flashing in
your vision. That's it, all right?
Speaker 2: That goes on for it like way too long, and
well it goes on, Yeah, it goes on for too long.
Vey is gonna kind of go in and feeling a
little sorry for her, just take ludes and spin him
like one eighty while going like you know I heard
actually Danny's got these beables talking about whispers, you know, not.
Speaker 3: OK, all right, you know what I gotta talk to
I haven't talked to that guy. I'm gonna go. I
gotta go talk to that guy. I got some questions
for him too. All right, so you know you you
you wait here any points in vey He's like, I
gotta talk to you about that. You know I'll be back.
Don't worry if I'm not back in thirty minutes, call
the Blue Coats, okay, And then he wanders away.
Speaker 1: And sure enough, as you go to trackdown Daniel, you
see him get on like that rolling ladder. I think
he's like Jason, he's skating it.
Speaker 3: And then it goes on. That's that's happening. In the
background of the rest of this episode.
Speaker 5: Looks pitifully very grateful O red Page, thank you.
Speaker 8: A lot of questions.
Speaker 2: I'll give you some time alone. And he's gonna wander
up ahead.
Speaker 3: I think she's in love.
Speaker 2: She's like, I almost made a friend, guys.
Speaker 3: I got a point out real quick. I love this,
I love this, I love this game. I'll playing with you, guys.
This has been awesome.
Speaker 1: Yes, I've been having a lot of fun with this. Uh,
all right, let's get into some mechanical that time. I'm
gonna I'm gonna point to someone. I'm gonna point at dio.
What is a trust do during and after the party?
That would mechanically like like a downtime action.
Speaker 6: Mm hmm.
Speaker 1: May actually be doing okay for stress.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that is what trauma does at first.
Speaker 1: It makes everything better. However, you will get too stress
if you don't indulge.
Speaker 6: Your place, and that's in fact what he wants to do.
Speaker 4: He would have left the party early, very early, like
right after Lord Sherlock left.
Speaker 1: Okay, and you're going to indulge your vice.
Speaker 2: How much stress do you get if you over indulge.
Speaker 6: I'm going to need to I'm going to need something.
Speaker 1: Sorry, go ahead, Sorry, where are you going?
Speaker 4: Albatross is definitely going to need to hunt for an
even because he can't indulgence stress until he has he
has the meat. Sorry, your Arby's.
Speaker 3: I love it.
Speaker 8: Next next quest we get turf that is Arby's. It
is r and like deal make Arby's.
Speaker 3: You know Arby's.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I say your your your thing is no longer tapped.
And so this has changed a little bit because you're
working outside of the group and lets you want to
go to them right now?
Speaker 6: Mm hmm. You know what, too much time has passed them. Yeah,
he'll confront them.
Speaker 1: Okay, you go and you find your man night Market,
the one that had requested that you performed the hunt.
You see that he does not look well, kind of
similar to you. He's got those hives. He's scratching his arms.
Speaker 6: Wait what.
Speaker 1: Like but back before he ate, you know, described Albatross
was starting to break out in the hives and having
withdrawal symptoms. This man is kind of going through something similar.
And he sees you. I don't know if I've described
him before. He's a taiker rosie man, very very thin,
like almost impossibly thin, but his arms extend well past
his knees. Other than that, he looks completely human. And
he sees you as he's scratching his arm, and he says,
so you've returned. Do you have good news?
Speaker 6: H do not?
Speaker 1: Mm hmmm. We were relying on you to provide for
this latest hunt. Is there an issue? You don't seem
to be as affected. That's the rest of us. It
was a complication, okay, and what are you going to
do about it? It is your turn to provide for
the ritual. That's fair.
Speaker 4: So if I could just have a description of like
these characters, like everybody who who who has been were
taking in this ritual.
Speaker 6: Without you.
Speaker 1: There's five of them. Only one of them has spoken
like in character, but you've probably spoken to them all.
They are not all military or spies. A lot of
them are immigrants from Taikos that have legitimate jobs and
as like as traders or lawyers or as laborers. But
they are all people who indulge in in the old
ways of take Rossi people. They you have probably known them,
like not all of them for the same amount of time,
but you've been a part of this group as people
kind of ebb and flow people live and die you like,
throughout the years. So the man you're speaking to has
been there as long as you have been, which is
maybe three or four months. It took you to find
someone after you actually moved into Dustball. But yeah, like
they're nondescript take Rosi people because like, realistically, I just
don't want to make up six more NBCs right now.
But you have known them for a very long time,
at least some of them. The newest member maybe joined
up a year ago.
Speaker 4: Okay, Albatars wouldn't hate them per se, No, you would
hate the circumstances he's in now. So's hm hmm, okay,
I think I know what.
Speaker 6: He's gonna say. Okay, he would.
Speaker 4: He would take him and uh and say he would
basically gesture to him to speak somewhere private.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, he he. He brings you into his home.
You've may have been there once or twice before. It's
like a flat kind of like on the first floor
of this this building, a NetMarket. He sits you down.
You see that his home is pretty humble. It's not
like he's not a very wealthy man by any means.
What seems to be the issue? What do you need
to talk about? It's the demon that I owned.
Speaker 6: Did you.
Speaker 1: Did you forego the ritual with the rest of us?
Speaker 6: It was something different about this one. It demons here
not known.
Speaker 1: Friend.
Speaker 6: And when I had found this flesh, when I had
taken its life. When the flesh is in hand, it
always calls us, it always calls to us. But this
one was different. It did not call it demand.
Speaker 1: This does not I'm glad that you've made it out alive,
but this does not help our kin, our kind, our group.
Speaker 6: It does not please me.
Speaker 1: You must rectify this.
Speaker 6: That's why I come to you and to seek another
I must make sure that you water well.
Speaker 1: Then let it be done. We will go now.
Speaker 6: I will run the front I will run the front line. Yeah.
And so.
Speaker 1: He gathers most of the group. There's about four them
and yourself. You guys actually have to leave the city,
and so you go into the Lost District. Fake some
time to get there, but you he knows a path
that's pretty covert. It's like a smuggling route, and he
takes you into there and we'll get you to roll
your indulge bikes.
Speaker 2: I had never seen the lost gesture. And then I'm like, oh,
let me take a look. And I happen to pull
the map out for this session, and it's right there
up in the corner, yeps.
Speaker 1: Up there, yep.
Speaker 6: And for indulge vice, it's going to be.
Speaker 1: It's your lowest stat so that would be resolve.
Speaker 6: This one.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So if you click the dice on the side
and you go to indulge vice, set your stress which
is two, and you're gonna roll one.
Speaker 3: Die.
Speaker 6: Okay, I push again.
Speaker 1: You can't push a resistance role.
Speaker 6: Okay, these are always fun. Let's say.
Speaker 1: I'm stressed of this over indulge. I mean it was
it was bound to happen.
Speaker 3: I wouldn't want to be.
Speaker 1: All idea. I'm gonna give you a choice. Albatross can
be lost as he engages in some sort of epic
battle with the Demon and is not able to return
until after the next score. Or you can attract trouble,
which means I will roll in a dish entanglement. Actually no, sorry,
I will select an additional entanglement.
Speaker 6: Mmm.
Speaker 2: How creative are you feeling right now?
Speaker 8: Do you have a backup character?
Speaker 2: That is the question?
Speaker 1: Well I do not, but so for the purposes of downtime,
this could have happened after the other stuff you do
during downtime, so you would still be able to play
as Albatross for the rest of this and will just
say that this happened like a week later.
Speaker 6: I mean, dear.
Speaker 4: It just hm hm for me, I think just because
of how on the on the on the wire it is, uh,
he wouldn't want this problem to come back.
Speaker 1: Okay, so you're are you picking loss then?
Speaker 4: Uh so, So just to just to kind of think
about the consequence here, it's either the Demon or it's
Lord Skurlock, right, no, no, it.
Speaker 1: Is either your character is lost for a week and
we'll describe what happens during that time. Yeah, I'm telling
you that it'll be involved with the hunt, because that
makes sense, or I will choose an entanglement.
Speaker 8: You don't get to know what that is.
Speaker 1: M h. I'm gonna put a time limit on it.
I'm gonna count down from five.
Speaker 6: Oh sorry, I'll do the entanglement.
Speaker 3: Okay, Oh boy?
Speaker 2: Why is that an entanglement for Albatross or an entanglement
for the group?
Speaker 1: Yes? What did you do? Okay?
Speaker 6: I know what it is.
Speaker 1: Okay, so you successfully managed to hunt like a like
a small demon. It kind of looks like a pile
of dogs.
Speaker 3: What the fuck you? Why is that? Why is that
what you think of?
Speaker 4: All right?
Speaker 3: Sorry, go on, that's okay.
Speaker 1: I'm just off the cuff of my head, you know, like,
what's what's going on in my imagination right now?
Speaker 6: It's it's.
Speaker 1: Yes, like yeah kind of except it's got like like
it's kind of like if if a dog was standing
but then it had like a dog tumor growing out
of it, like eight times over?
Speaker 3: What why?
Speaker 6: Why?
Speaker 1: Sorry?
Speaker 4: One of them has to be a dog, But like
protruding out like just the back end just kind of
sticking out like a really like like on the side
of it.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And and that one has a human face for
no reason. The rest of them just look like dogs.
But yes, so you you do manage to hunt this,
and you guys perform the ritual in the Lost district.
The the issue that happens there, the entanglement that I
select is arrest arrested, and so we will look at
what that is. I'll show you, show the players and
an inspector sense a case file of evidence to a
magistrate to begin prosecution of your cruit. The Blue Coats
will send a detail to arrest you a gang of
at least equal in scale to your wanted level. Pay
them off with coin equal to your wanded level plus
three hand someone over for a rest. This will clear
your heat and reset your wand level or try Toby capture,
and so you will have some time to think about
that while we go through everyone else's downtime. Adam, one
of your characters is gonna got to have a downtime
activity planned.
Speaker 3: I mean, I think that the drinking for for Loots
is obviously uh falls into his stupor vice. I mean, Marv,
I was saying ludes, but because like ludes has a lot,
well both and they have the same amount of the
exact same amount of stress. Oh yeah, we're stressed the
fun and I went, I didn't realize I need to
give him a point in something because his prowess is
filled up.
Speaker 2: They're gonna marge just drinking together.
Speaker 1: Yeah, could very well be. I won't say that ludes
Like I'm gonna be nice and point out that luds
would actually have a zero stress. He's been high out
of his mind while he's hanging out with Sawtu.
Speaker 3: It's true, So I'll get rid of that nice. Okay,
then yeah, Marv. Then is uh, he's drinking it up,
so he's gonna he's gonna get drunk, and he's gonna
he's gonna fight somebody.
Speaker 6: Okay.
Speaker 1: Uh so yeah, you're you're you're fighting there.
Speaker 3: You're gonna fight a couple of somebodies. He's gonna fight
a couple of dudes and like somebody's gonna punch him
and like, regardless of you know, somebody hits him and
like knocks one of his teeth out. He's like, I
have been hit like that in years. Let's go and
he's gonna beat the ship out of that guy. There's
gonna be one tooth less than he was yesterday. So
let's do this. So what I hit the the dice
over here, and this is a indulge vice and he
is at one, two, three, four five six. Stress.
Speaker 1: Yeah. The spot for Marv, his lowest is zero dice
and insight. Yeah, so you're gonna beat rolling zero dice.
Speaker 3: You go, let's get it's two.
Speaker 1: He loses too. Stress. Yeah, you're fighting these two guys
and they're just not good. They're they're just not as
good a fighters as you knock them out almost immediately,
so you like, you know, like you get to feel
like a man or whatever.
Speaker 3: But it doesn't do it.
Speaker 1: That's not what he's looking for. Man, that's want to
get hit in the head. You want to get hit.
Speaker 3: What he wants is he wants that. So there's a
special thing for Marv. I don't know if this happens
to everybody, but like if he gets hit hard enough
just right, something some switch flips in his brain and
like everything shuts off, Like he doesn't black out, but
everything shuts off and he goes into this like blind
kind of like like rage like frenzy thing where like
all of his troubles just disappear and like his consciousness
is gone and it's a way and it's just meat
is all that's left. Meat and bone and gristle and
just impact, impact, impact impact. He doesn't get there, he
doesn't get there. This dude hits him in the face
and he's like, that's all you got. There is nothing
like I get you. You hit like a fucking child.
I've been punched harder than this my children. I had
one kid that I picked up for fun and they
bunched me in the face four times and it hurt
worse than this. This is nothing. I'm gonna punch you
in the face. And it's not it's not for fun
that I'm punching in the face because I need to
punish you for being such a piece of crap.
Speaker 6: I mean.
Speaker 3: Bam knocks the dude out and he's like, there is crap.
I'm not I'm not fulfilled, I'm bored. This is boring
to me, and Bam punch the other due like this
is I you know what this makes me sad? I'm
gonna I'm I don't maybe I don't want to fight
anybody ever again after this. This, this is shameful. I'm
gonna go sit down. I'm gonna sit down and I'm
gonna eat some of these sausages, dip them in this
yere so us. I don't know what that is, but
it tastes great. It's a little bit sweet, little bit tandy,
but and me enjoy and then sweet us. But it's
too stress, all right, that's it.
Speaker 1: Yes, And and what you're describing is called waiting out?
Speaker 3: Oh, okay, is it for like white guys?
Speaker 1: No, it's okay. So it's happened to me exactly one time.
If if you get hit, there's kind of two reactions
you can have that involve you not really understanding what
happens next. One of them is whiting out. The other
one is writing out. Writing out is when people die.
Whiting out is when you don't remember what happens for
like the next thirty seconds. Okay, yeah, but yeah, it
is like a thing that like humans can do in
the real world.
Speaker 2: Kids at all, No, don't problem.
Speaker 1: It's a real problem. But yeah, I just wanted to
put that out there. It's like an episode of Jeopardy.
What is whiting out. That's what he just described. They
or Ethan. I'll say Ethan, because you have multiple characters.
Now what do you have to do?
Speaker 2: It's yeah, I do. And actually I want to go
and do a term of drill bit. So I mean,
first off, just quick comment on the party is just
at some point point, I know that there was this
situation where drill Bit was in you know, maybe maybe
even like standing on the table while all of these
doctors are around, and he's just kind of describing about
how he like, you know, I went and I reached
out and I took those fucking dougs and I put
him down and just kind of talking about like, you know,
just that that group people absolutely hate dogs that time
and braging in onto to those excerpts. So yeah, that's
all great fun. But then yeah, after that, as a
drill bit, I'm gonna go and I'm gonna finish, or
I'm gonna possible I guess possibly finish. I'm gonna try
to do the the power the power base, which so
last session tried to go through and start to construct
a connection to the electroplasm. Is it electroplasm, the electro.
Speaker 1: Field, it's yeah, it's electroplasmic energy, though the lightning towers
are powered by Leviathan blood specifically, which creates like a
surplus of electroplasmic energy. Leviathan blood is just the blood
of demons, right, Yeah, So.
Speaker 2: We're going to keep on pushing it on that clock.
So I'm going to I guess, do you want me
to just start to describe it or do you want
me to roll and then talk through it.
Speaker 1: I guess start to describe it so that we know
what we're rolling.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So having you know, put in the initial start
of the the conductor relay in those things what drove it.
It is going to do now is to uh configure
the the actual batteries within it. And I alreadys kind
of looked at it. I'm going to try to do
in a tune. And so what that means is he's
going to be going in there and making sure that
all of the capacitors and the relays are set up
in the right way that you know, there's actually it's
able to just draw the power in and you know,
have that connection to two other buildings. And that's kind
of I don't know some of the complexities there as
to why it's hard for people to just go and
just quote unquote steel power.
Speaker 1: Oh absolutely, it's also incredibly illegal, but yeah, go ahead
and give me that tune roll. It's a downtime action,
so it's not risky. Risk and effect don't come into play.
It's just how much of the clock you fill in?
How how good is this so you managed you actually
do manage to get some some good work done. You
fill in two segments, you had three remaining. You could
spend a coin right now to bump that up and
complete the project.
Speaker 8: Arie would love to help with this project at any point.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, yeah, well it's only a six six
o'clock and he has five out of six, okay, so
without spending an extra downtime, Like basically, you can spend
one coin now to complete it, or you can spend
another downtime and whoever does it will just have it done.
So it's whether or not you want to.
Speaker 6: Spend the coin.
Speaker 2: I was really hoping to get all three ticks with that.
That's so hard the game.
Speaker 1: Yeah, are you spending that coin? Myrie says that she
would be able to help out, so she would definitely
be able to probably get the last of it. I
also will pitch that narratively. I think that makes a
lot of sense.
Speaker 2: Oh, like a ton of sense. It's in hindsight, I
should be. And so we could have actually thrown that
in because I think that would have been a really
great bonding moment of Drawbit and Myrie going in and
building this thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, okay, how about this, Myrie. You see this
robot man, maybe in the aftermath of the party, maybe
at the end of the party, while people are still reveling,
you see him trying to put together some sort of
like power relay. Are you gonna arguing to a system?
Will you spend your downtime action to fill up this clack?
Speaker 6: All right?
Speaker 3: I love I love the little cartoon.
Speaker 1: Like yes, So, Myrine, you go and you put your
hand on on Drillbit's shoulder as he's a tuning and
like using his like ghostly powers and reaching out to
do this work. And it doesn't matter what you roll,
you will succeed. So just go ahead and describe how
you help.
Speaker 5: She's going to like see him doing this, having had
no prior knowledge of this, now realizing there's a giant
as battery in their library.
Speaker 8: It's gonna walk over for handam.
Speaker 5: It's like, it's whole time you've been in here working
on this, and you didn't fucking tell me any of
this was going on.
Speaker 8: What the fuck is wrong with you? Move that capacitor
over there right this instant. You're doing it wrong. Let
me let me have this thing.
Speaker 6: Oh my god.
Speaker 2: She ties back here and then yeah, I was left
of it a half tie back, but she does.
Speaker 3: It's just it's just like a little bit of bangs
that and there's like nothing on top, just ties back
the banks behind your head.
Speaker 2: Seeing that Marie is going in and is actually like
starting to take out some of the capacitors and and
kind of switch it up. Robe is gonna kind of
step aside while helping, but then not step away and
actually kind of go in because it is something that's
very interesting to him. It's like, oh I said that
was negative. Is it makes much more sense? Yes?
Speaker 5: Yes, okay, it's adding a complaine total waste of like
run off energy coming through here.
Speaker 1: Honestly, yes, And as Myrie and drill Bit balled over
their love of electricity to put it like in the
worst terms possible, we will take a short break here.
My name is Aaron and I love Arsy Cole. But yes,
I'm gonna go drink some Arcia Cola. I actually do
have Arcy Cole today, so nice, but it's but it's
in a battle I got.
Speaker 3: Do you guys have leaders up there?
Speaker 1: We do have leaders up here. In fact, we use
leaders more often than you do.
Speaker 2: We use them to measure soda bounces. Confused the heck out.
Speaker 6: Of me, dude?
Speaker 3: How about how about ounces?
Speaker 7: Right?
Speaker 3: Because they're liquid and weight. Listen, volume and weight, But
that makes no sense. Eight of them does, but eight
of them sixteen?
Speaker 1: No one knows how many ounces in thee kilo twenty eight?
Speaker 3: No one knows.
Speaker 6: No one knows.
Speaker 3: It's stupid.
Speaker 1: It's stupid. Every drug dealer in the world prior to
like the legalization of marijuana, I knew the answer that question.
Speaker 3: Well I don't, So that's what you know about me.
Speaker 6: I don't.
Speaker 1: Still fair enough? All right, Well everyone, we're going to
take a short five to ten minute break here. We'll
see you all soon. Enjoy your lives.
Speaker 3: Nice, Okay, So real quick, I need to I just
learned something I need to share with you guys. They've
renamed the Next Avengers movies, it is no longer gonna
be King. It is going to be Doctor Doom. Doomsday
is what I believe they're calling it. And officially the
guy that's gonna be playing Doctor Doom Robert Downey Jr.
No boom.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's only okay if he never takes his
mask off. It's totally like, but he will.
Speaker 6: I mean face, like it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well yeah.
Speaker 3: But also, like if you think about, like I'm guessing
because they you know, with King Iron lad was a
variate and like they could they could definitely work it
in where Tony Stark in some alternate universe is Doctor
Doom and like that totally makes it and like, dude,
fuck yeah, I am super into it. I didn't see
Dame By see Wolverine and Dead Book.
Speaker 1: I need to watch it.
Speaker 6: I'm planning on sitting some time aside.
Speaker 3: I'm hoping I'm hoping to see it before gen Con.
I'm hoping to like work something out with my mother
in law where she can watch Nora and Katie and
I can go see it. But like, I'm I'm fucking
pumped about Marvel movies again for the first time in
a long time, because like the Last the Last Badge
and has been kind of kind of.
Speaker 1: So I have not watched any of the Avengers movies.
Speaker 6: You miss.
Speaker 1: The one before Endgame, and I also haven't seen Civil War.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm in the same boat. I've only seen the.
Speaker 6: No. No.
Speaker 1: Here's the thing though, is like I just I have
a problem with like the way they make movies, like
it just it bugs me, and like I don't like it.
I like, I will say this, I liked ant Man
more than I like Age of All Trum.
Speaker 3: Oh well, yes, I will agree with you. I love
dan Man. Ant Man was fun. It was so much fun. Yeah,
it was so cool.
Speaker 1: That's where I'm at. But I also have to pete
and I will I will go.
Speaker 3: I will talk about these movies for a month. So
all right, I'll be back. And we need some more
of these spicy veggie straws. They're They're amazing, amazing product
of the.
Speaker 1: All Right, ladies and gentlemen, we're back. We're back and
better than evers. Yeah, why is that all sexy? Late
the world? On the break, two things happened to me. One,
I grabbed a beer. I grabbed Golden Lauger, the official
beer of Letter the television show, which I had already
previously purchased, because that would be yeah, yes. And then
the other one is is I looked up ram Ranch
because I wanted to like provide some information on it.
I was gonna read the lyrics, but they say the
word cock too much, and so like, I feel like
that would just be a bit fat.
Speaker 6: So.
Speaker 1: But what I did find out is that there is
actually two hundred and twenty sequels to ram Ranch, and
he's been releasing new versions of ram Ranch since like
two thousand and like eleven, and the latest one dropped
in twenty twenty, So I think he's done with the
ram Ranch for now.
Speaker 2: So I hate to be crass, but like, is it
gay porn? It's like all the album art makes it
look like that, and so is it's not.
Speaker 1: It's not gay porn. It's a song, Like, first of all,
it's art.
Speaker 3: Are you now, are you saying that gay porn can't
be art?
Speaker 1: I'm saying that most gay porn is not art, but
that's a safe answer. The very first line of ram
Ranch is eighteen naked cowboys and the showers at ram Ranch,
and it just gets worse from there, like like to
the point where like, if this was like not an
R rated show, I would just like be taken off
the air. But I also just don't want to subject
our listeners to this unless they want to go and
look up ram Ranch themselves. But how they recommend it's
the best song I've ever written. Yeah, it's way better
than they can Bob, don't.
Speaker 6: Ever did I partially regret my search.
Speaker 3: We're gonna your your algorithm is gonna be all fucked up.
Speaker 6: Now, nothing but ranch.
Speaker 3: Now you're gonna get. You're gonna get all kinds of
weird ads when you go onto the internet, all kinds
of weird ads for ranch dressing.
Speaker 6: Cowboys with.
Speaker 2: Ranch dressing extra creamy.
Speaker 6: Ye, all right, as long as it's not blue cheese.
Speaker 3: I don't know which is grosser, extra creamy ranch or
blue cheese.
Speaker 2: Aaron different.
Speaker 1: Especially of smangma.
Speaker 3: Santur is the word you want?
Speaker 1: We'll go to Adam, Adam, what's your character up to?
Oh man, you have a second downtime action there after
we hit this lovely bonding moment between them.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So let's take a quick feak here. I've got
nothing with that guy. We got this guy that much
with that guy. So I guess it's gonna be Loots
Lunes is gonna nothing really great there either, but.
Speaker 1: He is gonna hang out, what in your heart of hearts?
What do you want to have happened? Now?
Speaker 7: What?
Speaker 3: That doesn't matter. What's gonna happen next is that Luke
is gonna go to the doctor.
Speaker 1: Yeah okay, yeah, yeah you uh you merch into Sawtooth's
office and he's got a patient on the table, but
he almost like and you can tell he's he's like,
well into the ether. The second the door opens, he
just kind of drops everything and looks at you with
the wide eyes and he's like, oh, what can I
do yet? Far there?
Speaker 3: You know, last time you were working on a titty
and like it's still all fucked up. I mean, look
at this, look at this, and he like lifts up
his shirt and there's way like that.
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 3: I keep talking about how he's got a lot of nipples,
but there's way more, way more. There's so many, Like
every time a shirt comes up, there's like a D
twelve more nipples and there's so many of them, and
like the the amount, the way that they're all like
rugos is it's gotten to the point where they're like
they almost look like scabs but like brown at this point,
but with like nipples on them. It's real weird. But
like his whole titty is uh is you know? I
got hooked off of there and now it's like one
giant patch of bark and it's and he's like, he's like,
I'm moving. It makes this crankling noise and it bleeds,
and like he like rolls his shoulder around and it's
like it sounds like someone's cracking branches off of a tree,
and then like a bunch of blood just starts to
seep out between like the ridges of this thing. He's like,
I need, you know, I need something, some more help
on this thing. It's it hurts, like it really fucking hurts.
It smells like pine.
Speaker 6: I also rolled twelve D twelves. It's one hundred and
nine nipples.
Speaker 1: It's a lot, not enough. Don't worry, Adam, you have
so many more episodes to tell us about Morning.
Speaker 6: Nine.
Speaker 8: Guys, kids, that's a.
Speaker 3: Good jumping off point one hundred and nine. Listeners, Keep
track thousand, keep track. One hundred and nine.
Speaker 5: Nipples are proportional to the amount of letters you're animal
can birth.
Speaker 3: Like how you're after winked when you said it. Oh yeah,
but no he you know, he doesn't. Later he cares
about this environment. Oh all right, all right, what do
I roll for healing?
Speaker 1: Actually I roll or what you can roll if you want.
It's a fortune roll.
Speaker 3: It's un fortunate with two die okay, two dice fortune roll.
Here we go.
Speaker 1: Oh six er, there you go. So that's gonna be
three segments on the clock, which is great because.
Speaker 3: With that reason upgrade that I took, that means that
he goes down to level one of being hooked in
the titty.
Speaker 1: Oh oh, there you go. Oh, and you take an
additional die on healing treatment almost so comes up as
a six. Then it's a critical and you'll bleed over
into the next one.
Speaker 3: I don't want to bleed anymore.
Speaker 1: It is.
Speaker 3: Probably one in six, right, get another for another segment.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you're halfway to filling up and clearing the
level one harm. What this looks like is he brings
you over to the table and you see that there's
like a man covered in leeches just kind of like
lying there, and he sets you up like on that
guy's like on on his knees and he's like, oh,
oh jeez, I forgot about him hair, and he just
like kind of takes a jar and throws some more
leaches on him. Yeah, he just shakes the jar off.
Few leaches drop off, but he's like that you do her,
and and then he's holding those jar leaches and he's like, here,
let's try this, and he just starts throwing leaches into
your bark. And what they're doing is because you have
bark skin there, they're they're only drawing away the blood, okay,
and then they're dropping off like relatively quickly, and so
like yeah, exactly. So, yeah, he throws some leeches at you,
and then he gets the matches out and he starts
burning like the holes where they are so that they caught.
He rises and he's like, okay, it looks like you're
your your physiology. It's not even necessarily changing. It's probably
how it always was.
Speaker 3: But a bar did he.
Speaker 9: No, but.
Speaker 3: Have one, you know, one one one regular nipple? Orry
about there and it was all you know, like skin
color like this, and then he shows him like there's
regular skin and it's all gross, it's all like pallid
and like like like it's greasy, and uh, it's like
it's got a little like, I don't know, nodules, let's say,
nodules in weird places.
Speaker 1: Fair enough. Well, you don't. It don't look like that
no more. It seems like when you're injuring yourself, your
scar tissue comes in as whatever the fuck this is,
and he's poking at your wound.
Speaker 3: Well, I guess it doesn't really hurt, you know. I
thought it would hurt when touched it, but it really didn't.
It felt fine. I don't should be worried about that.
Is it normal? I don't know what's normal? Way who
what is normal? Who knows?
Speaker 1: I don't know. But yeah, And he spent some time
and it's it's it's it's a little bit archaic and
and like he constantly kind of flits between you and
the other patient, forgetting that the other one is there.
So it takes a little bit got it.
Speaker 3: He puts his coffee down on him. Oh, sorry, I
forgot you were there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but yeah, you you. He does successfully manage to
like mostly heal it. It's no longer oozing blood.
Speaker 3: That's great. I love it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's still a little tender maybe, but you're on
the bend for sure, and then we'll go over to
Dio Dio after this. Yeah, actually, after your ritual, there's
a little bit of tension between you and the rest
of the group as I kind of figure out that
that you partook without them. The man himself that you
spoke to before seems to be the leader of this group.
He just pulled you aside. He says, it is incredibly
dangerous to be doing this alone, like to be consuming
the flesh without proper preparations, without the ritual. There are
strength in numbers, but something will change in you if
you do it again.
Speaker 6: Allowed to keep it in mind, and he.
Speaker 1: Sends you off. You all return back to the city
and you kind of part ways. You realize that most
of these people don't live in night market or in
six hours like. They live all over the place, a
diverse group in terms of city districts. What are you
gonna do for your second downtime action? There? They have
no stress, so that's good.
Speaker 6: So my question becomes, uh, when do the blue coats come?
Speaker 1: They come when I tell when I when I tell you,
they come, that's when they come. But it's I'm I'm
gonna let everyone get their downtime actions in before I
pop that off, because that could itself could be a score. Oh,
depending on how you handle it.
Speaker 6: Hm hm.
Speaker 1: Alba. Trust does not know they're coming.
Speaker 6: Reasonable, But I as a player have that looming over
my head whenever that shows up.
Speaker 2: Hill the stress, but don't roleplay it.
Speaker 3: It's stressed for doo fortress.
Speaker 6: Yeah uh, I mean what I want to do just
give him the secrecy of the situation.
Speaker 4: He would lay loaf for a little bit and then
afterwards he's going to visit Lord Skurlock.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, yeah, so you you you pay Lord Skirlock
a visit that that gaunt, taller man that serves as
a his like butler answers the door and escorts you inside,
leads you to the parlor where Lord Skirlock is sitting.
Speaker 6: There.
Speaker 1: There's a there's like a cold tea sitting on the
table in front of him. It's like he poured himself
a tea and drink it.
Speaker 6: Mm hmm.
Speaker 3: I should interrupt. Wow, I'm sorry, I thought I had time.
What I was just saying, we need to name this guy?
Speaker 1: Which guy?
Speaker 3: I feel like his name is Ruckus?
Speaker 6: Oh?
Speaker 1: The oh, the Butler.
Speaker 3: Yeah, ru Rucus Butler, you know not riff raff Ruckus.
Speaker 1: Okay, y'all, y'all are going to start calling on Ruckus
behind his back.
Speaker 3: No, I feel like he needs to have an eight.
Speaker 1: Oh you want to know his name? You could ask
him what his name is. Oh, he's got a name.
Speaker 3: Never mind that, forget it, forget anything. Edit that out.
Speaker 4: No, but Albatross is going to address Lord Scarlock. It
seems like something's troubling you.
Speaker 1: I appreciate your concern. How long have we known each
other there, Albatross, almost seven years? Eight years.
Speaker 6: In quite some time.
Speaker 1: I feel I can talk to you more freely than
I could with most. The demon you killed is one
that I had an open contract with. I didn't know
you made contract extra demon. Well, there's many things I
don't tell you about what I do and don't do.
That's not our relationship.
Speaker 6: I'm sorry. I didn't know what demons can make.
Speaker 1: I mean, that is their most useful function. They offer
power in exchange for what they want. If you find
the right demon, they can be quite reasonable, all.
Speaker 6: Right, I mean, actually, what would that be like? Super
commonly known for demons?
Speaker 1: No, not necessarily most people's experience with demons is that
they're weird piles of dogs that attack them.
Speaker 3: The average encounters a weird standard.
Speaker 8: Pile a dog's demon. You know, you see, it's almost
like that's a textbook.
Speaker 2: But would not this being like someone who hunts demons.
Speaker 1: Right, yeah, yeah, most demons are like like they don't speak, like,
they do not speak a language, first of all, like
like or they do. You don't understand what it is,
like no human would. There are some whispers and maybe
even some like individuals that are able to work out
some sort of language or method of communication with them,
but like most people would see some sort of crazy
abomination that you almost always has violent intent. You would
also know like just at large, like they teach it
in schools pretty much across the world. Most demons have
some sort of like emotional state or like purpose that
like drives them, and it can be things like vengeance,
it can be things like it can be be things
like joy even or like intense sadness, and then they're
usually tied to like some sort of element like fire, water, earth,
something like that. Lass And if you want to check
that out more, it is in the Core rule book.
You can make your own demons.
Speaker 3: What where's that?
Speaker 2: There's some pretty cool demon stuff at the back of
the book.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like great at the very back of the book, right,
I'll check it out. Yeah, I don't have it in
front of me. It's like one ninety something, but yeah,
you can make your own dements and stuff, and there's
a few things that are there about Yeah, you know
that Satara could talk. I think she may have spoken
to you while you were fighting her. If not, she
has spoken in the show to somebody, at least a
few people still. Yeah, yeah, which is and to Jacob
actually I think it was Jacob and Bay have heard
her speak. Yeah, So like Satara seemed to be some
sort of unique demon, though all demons are unique in
her ability to be reasoned with.
Speaker 6: That's what you would know, Okay.
Speaker 4: So demons with sentience are definitely not part of the norm.
And thinking about it kind of like a like in hindsight, now,
after like that combat with Satara, what Lord Sterlock would
be saying would make sense?
Speaker 6: Right, like it just be like, wait, I mean that
actually checks out?
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, you also know that Satara was not like
the strongest demon you fought, like by any means like
she wasn't like particularly powerful.
Speaker 3: She got kicked into a burning house and died. Yeah,
and she was like like a.
Speaker 1: Bit of like a seductress, right, I mean she's made
out of quartz. So it depends what you're into.
Speaker 6: But yeah, I want to rock somebody who's into it,
like it's a spirit shipman.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you're really into porcelain dolls, maybe, but oh god,
I do you like.
Speaker 8: Any rocks hard to a hard rock?
Speaker 4: Then yeah, okay, do not do not enter Steven universe
choking here. Okay, let's see. Okay, I mean I.
Speaker 2: Want to know context, start to interject them like I
need I need more info.
Speaker 1: But yeah, ultimately you would know that some people definitely
make deals with Team. It's like that's pretty common knowledge.
Like it's it's like super risky and like most people
end up dying from it, but people do it. Like
that's maybe even something that is pretty common. In Taikeros,
you have an uncle that tried to make a deal
with the demon that you never saw him again.
Speaker 6: Mm hmm.
Speaker 3: That uncle that's always trying to make it quick bluck. Yeah,
so he's got a weird scheme, weird angle on stuff.
Speaker 6: And I already showed. I showed Lark scare Lock the
yeah thing.
Speaker 2: He freaked out.
Speaker 1: You did show, and he threw a table at you.
He says. Part of the problem, Alba, try if I'm
if I'm gonna be totally frank, is that I owed
her a debt, and that debt has transferred to you.
Because she's not really dead, she's bound to you, But
I don't think you would appreciate what I've been paying
her with.
Speaker 3: Let's find out what this weird fucking thing is gonna
be next time. All hair and one thousand dollars, what
might that be?
Speaker 1: I was to bring her souls that she would sustain
herself with. I know that you would not be able
to sustain yourself with the soul. But in theory I
do owe you. I owe you about ten more souls.
The problem that I'm having is that you do not
possess the power to pay off your end of the deal.
And we're running out of time, and watch like that.
If I fail to provide you with ten souls within
three weeks time kid for twen, I can provide you
more details about the time later, which I'm fully capable
of doing. I could do it right now, I would
perish almost a.
Speaker 6: Media, and then we must find a slove.
Speaker 1: If I give you the souls, then you would be
bound to perform a feat that I just do not
believe you have the power to complete. And if you
fail to do that within immigrated upon time, you would
be forever bound to me as like an indentured servant
instruct I am doing my research. I will do my
best to not force that upon you, But I hope
you understand that, given the choice, it would help tremendously
if you if you had some method of traveling to
the ghost field, got it one way to get to either.
Speaker 7: Ye?
Speaker 6: Wait what.
Speaker 8: What dow?
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a joke, not a good option.
Speaker 6: Mm hmm.
Speaker 2: You die.
Speaker 1: Take your time and think about it. I don't expect
you to have a solution. I don't have a solution,
and and deal, I'll just say I don't have a
solution for this. I wasn't expecting you to eat Satara usual,
but I did have a whole thing going on with
Satara and Screwlock, and you kind of just stopped to
step right in the middle of it. So I'm making
it your problem.
Speaker 8: In the middle of that, man said I'm taking your partner.
Speaker 3: And now it's your deal.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and so mechanically I will reveal the clock I
have going well, actually, sorry, I haven't written manually, so
I'm just gonna make it and fill it in appropriately. Screwlocks.
Deal is a twelve segment clock. Oh, the only that's
we do up to eight, So it's going to be
two clocks then, Actually, so what's twelve? Mine? Six is six?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 2: So yep, well it's there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, I hate to do this to you, but
there's two segments left on this clock. Oh.
Speaker 2: So just to make sure we've got enough of a
sense of a picture of what problem that you're just presenting.
Speaker 8: What Just to be clear, all right, let's go to
the whiteboard.
Speaker 2: What is the actual outcome that needs to like come.
Speaker 3: Out of this thing or so?
Speaker 1: So Skurlock when that, when that clock fills out, Skirlock
will will give do O ten souls. Okay, at which
point do Oh will have to go and do something
that was originally meant for a demon to go do.
Speaker 2: That has not been shared and you're purposefully not sharing it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like it will come up, Okay, it will come
up when the clock gets filled.
Speaker 8: Is that he has to go into the ghost field.
Speaker 1: It would help tremendously if you could. But basically, yeah,
like they're there, I'll reveal it. There is an enemy
of Skurlocks that you would have to combat combat. I
could deal with that.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, you say that Skirlock who is afraid of
him who threw a table let you and almost caused
three level three arm is afraid of him.
Speaker 1: I dodged it, dodged.
Speaker 8: Do that.
Speaker 1: That's the issue is how many times can you do that?
Speaker 3: And and for someone that wants to kill you, and
that's someone who just got pissed.
Speaker 1: For a second. Yeah, but yes, so there is a
threat that is just well above the scope of what
you will be able to survive. I'll tell you right now,
if you try to fight him as Albatross right now,
you will die, Like I guarantee it. I will kill you.
Speaker 3: He'll kill No, I'm not going to kill down there.
Speaker 1: I'm already going to the States next week, so I'll
see you already.
Speaker 3: I'm down murder.
Speaker 1: But yes, and then.
Speaker 6: Canada start playing as he's approaching my home, it just right.
Speaker 3: Out of his body.
Speaker 1: Can I just say I talk about candle lot I
am not very patriotic, like I'm just not a good Canadian,
Like that's just how I am. But yes, and then
the all that the payoff if you failed to do
what he asked you to do or refuse to do
it is that you would forever become an indentured servant
to him.
Speaker 3: Oh that I'm fine with him. I'm you know what,
I love that for you. Yeah, you know, no problem,
there's no skin off my boat.
Speaker 1: So Screwlock has set the has set the stakes and
explained why he was so upset. Yeah, because ultimately, like
he doesn't really care about what happens to you, he
wants his job done. That he was originally going to
have someone this other demon performed. There will be a
way that it is certainly possible. There deal. I'm not
gonna throw challenges that are that are impossible at you,
but I'm saying like, if you go in as you
are right now, you will die. And so maybe he
outlines that to some degree to you, but he's pretty
vague about the details, as I'm being a little bit
vague about the details. He also says that he is
going to take some time and do his own research
to see what he can do and if in case
you missed it, he did imply that Satara is technically
not dead and that in fact you and her have
kind of like bonded in some way.
Speaker 4: He thinks a lot about communicating and dealing with demons.
Speaker 1: Okay, did you want to start a long term project
to see if you can learn more about dealing with demons?
Speaker 6: Yes?
Speaker 1: Okay, So I'm gonna call and make a new clock
called Introduction to Demonology, give analogy.
Speaker 3: I want to one.
Speaker 2: This sounds like at least a one o two problem though,
So you're.
Speaker 1: This clock, and I'll be kind to make it a
four second clock. If you fill out that clock, I
will provide more information about about what you might be into,
what you might be able to do about it, et cetera,
et cetera. And if you would like to take a
downtime action now and and start the process of filling
out that clock, you are.
Speaker 6: Welcome to do so absolutely. Uh would that be a
steady role?
Speaker 1: So, and with the long term clock, it's one of
those things where you get to pick how you would
like to approach it. Some things make more sense than others.
So describe what you're doing to learn about dams as
you leave Scirlock's house. Mm hmm, Like would you go
and hit out the books, would you go ask someone
about it?
Speaker 6: Would you go and.
Speaker 1: Like sneak around and somewhere and find it like you can.
There's a lot of ways to skin this cap, but
I just need to know.
Speaker 2: What you're doing, like studying them and hiding or like
you know, fighting a week one while like observing.
Speaker 8: It, stabbing onetle, writing in a notebook.
Speaker 3: In the other hand, I mean in.
Speaker 1: Series, it could be possible to intimidate a demon as
someone who hunts demons, so you could scirt my short
way or command your way into getting information.
Speaker 2: Like week little week less demons, and you work your
way up.
Speaker 4: I mean that seems like very much like he just
starts going through this gauntlet of demons.
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, okay, yeah, like I want I want
to encourage you to explore your options and not feel
like you have to study it. That's just what my
does because she's good at it.
Speaker 8: She likes stiff and books.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's just gonna he's just gonna go into this
underground ring of demons and just start beating the ship
out of every demon he can figure out and he's
going to push it.
Speaker 1: Okay, you're gonna push yourself for extra die yes, okay, or.
Speaker 6: For better result.
Speaker 1: Or yeah, I'll allow you to push yourself for greater effect. Basically,
you take the stress, I'll push up the value as
if you spent coin by one.
Speaker 6: Well, we'll go there and it's gonna be receiverer great.
Speaker 1: Yeah, sure for this kind of thing, it doesn't really
come into play like that. You're not ever Yeah, no,
that's okay, that's okay, that's just it's it's slightly different
than a typical actional Okay, you managed to fill out
three segments of this four segment clock. You find yourself
prowling the canals below, like you, you know, have some
areas where you could do it on foot, maybe you
take a boat. However, you feel like you do it specifically.
You know that there's a type of demon that kind
of looks.
Speaker 6: Like a rat.
Speaker 1: It's called rat Yes, you've also heard rumors of something.
Speaker 3: Called a rat king ooh gross, and that this is.
Speaker 1: One of those demons that may be able to speak.
And so yeah, you you basically are hunting these rats
in the sewers, and they're not reasonable or like intelligent
enough to really speak to you. But like as you
find like a maybe a group of five or six
of them eating like a person, you kill one of
them and they all run off in the same direction
and you manage to follow them. Oh, actually, I'm sorry
to know you did fill out the whole clock because
you pushed yourself for great per effect and that's what
I said it would do. So you fill out the clock.
You find this rat king, and I don't know if
you've ever seen a rat king in real life.
Speaker 6: Is the wrecking the same thing we were?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yes it is. It was the same thing
that happened in the Spirit Ordens episode that we have
not released yet because of editing.
Speaker 2: Issues, a little behind the scenes view.
Speaker 1: Yes, the whole episode that unfortunately I was not able
to release, and I may not be able to release.
Speaker 3: I've been waiting for it and hoping.
Speaker 1: To be honest. The solution is is I would have
to re record my entire track. Oh no, what's yeah,
I've got, I've got I've started it. I just don't
know if I have time, to be honest, But yeah,
you do see that there is It is not as
large as the one that you that I described to
you in that episode that no, the audience hasn't heard.
This is kind of like maybe like a person sized
pile of rats entangled and meshed together. I don't know
if you if you've ever watched Hilda, but it's a
show on It's it's on Netflix. It's a it's a
show where like this young girl talks to like weird
trolls and stuff like that, and she's very friendly with them.
And a rat, the rating is a character in that
as well, and kind of like that. It moves over
towards you, like a wave, just kind of hiding in
the corners, away from the light, and his isn't whispers
and it says, let's see my best rat impression. Yes, hello,
would you come to my lair? What for?
Speaker 3: It just sounds like you.
Speaker 1: It sounds like me. I already, guys, ladies coming home.
You haven't seen me? Because this is not the only
thing you chase a cartoon character. I'm a rat.
Speaker 2: It's true rat, Like, let me do my best depression.
Speaker 3: All right, hold on getting character here, alright.
Speaker 1: I was not prepared to be a rat today. Okay, guys,
do this.
Speaker 2: You're like this, It's like it's it's a.
Speaker 3: Hello.
Speaker 1: I'll reccon it. I'll reccon it. And you're gonna and
now the rat is vaguely Eastern European the racking. Yes, hello, welcome,
you have for me? What do you?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 6: Okay, do you like some anyways, I'm let's see funk up.
Speaker 7: Huh.
Speaker 6: I'm still thrown off by the for the voice.
Speaker 1: Okay, you will not be disturbed by my voice. It's perfect.
Make your request.
Speaker 4: So the goal right now is try to try to
figure out more about demons and uh, how to deal
with this soul sacrifice and going into the ghost world.
Speaker 1: The ghost field.
Speaker 6: The ghost field.
Speaker 1: Racking is very well connected, you know. Oh, yes, you
are talking of Sataras Steel.
Speaker 6: Yes, yes, mm hmm.
Speaker 1: I can see that you are touched and and like
he like kind of extends like his hand and then
like a rat, jumps off and like touches your palm,
like lands in your palm. The one with the glass
in it is is very good. Satara, Satara, she is
an interesting one, sneaky.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 1: You will find that in your current stage you would
not you would not farewell against the challenge that she
was to face. But perhaps perhaps if you were to
indulge to become more like Satara, like I, perhaps even
like skirm. Look, you would be able to do this
and then he would owe you. Perhaps he did not
mention that are he suggested that I go into the
realm of demons, suggesting that you are more demon than
man as you stand today. An interesting prospert.
Speaker 6: Mm hmmm.
Speaker 1: Prospects And and well, we'll fade to black on this
as do O and Albatross make their decision. You have
an at length discussion with the rat King, and I
will provide you with details about what he has to
say and what he'll tell you in a private message,
so you can decide what to do with that information.
All right, and then we will move away from there.
We're gonna go to Marie. Marie, well, Marie or Shiova
or or the girl. What are you up to?
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
Speaker 8: Marie got to have her fun time doing the the.
Speaker 5: Generator, but I think she also needs to actually clear stress.
Speaker 8: That wasn't as fun as it was, It wasn't actually
clearing session. She's only got one pip left.
Speaker 5: Oh my yead, I mean, come on, I'm just like okay,
but like I could just let her get traumatized and
then that's all goes away.
Speaker 3: There you go, go for it. Just get fucked up, yes,
mess up.
Speaker 6: Don't live in anxiety. Just let her fuck you up.
Speaker 3: Well, I'm gonna get anxiety is one of the options
for fallout.
Speaker 8: I'm gonna get I was gonna take paranoia, but you know, yeah,
there you go. She I don't know what to do then?
Speaker 6: Mm hmm.
Speaker 1: What would what would be more important to my read
than than reducing stress?
Speaker 6: Right now?
Speaker 3: What would be more important?
Speaker 5: Hmmm, she's already got her kick ass guns.
Speaker 1: True.
Speaker 2: Also quick note, mechanically, it is just that, like you know,
when the stress fills out, it is like you're out
for the scene, right, Yeah, they're.
Speaker 1: Out for the scene. So like in theory, like if
it's the first thing she does, she might rejoin you
a little bit later in the score.
Speaker 2: Oh that's fair.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it kind of depends because like the last score
was basically one scene.
Speaker 2: Because we kind of split into three. Yeah shit, I
don't know.
Speaker 1: Oh my, do you want me to ask Bay or
Ethan and then we'll come back to you Ethan suh.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, so I want to do one thing mechanically,
and then I want to go through and start, I
don't know, sort of a gather information, but we're not
quite at that point of I don't know, maybe it'll
kind of kick it off. So mechanically, what I want
to do is now is that zippower is set up,
it's about time for me to recharge, and so it's
gonna go. And what is that called. It's not indulging advice?
Uh drain?
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're clearing rain. So yeah, because you have taken
the time to set this up, you can just do it.
Speaker 6: You just do it.
Speaker 2: And so with with how this works, basically with the
contraption set up, and I imagine now like a top
of the university, there's just this like, you know, kind
of a it looks like a bit of a junkie
box and a whole bunch of wires kind of connecting
out to it, and it just kind of glows blue
every once in a while, and you've got like these
cables that kind of swivel down and then eventually they
go hit pop into university, but you don't actually see
anything there and there's just like this set of lockers.
And so what happens is is Droebick goes and he
just kind of opens up a locker door and he
gets in side and shuts it and so just like
like a recharging station basically kind of inside this locker
there's just this big kind of fuse switch and he
and he hits it, and you can tell there's just
kind of like you know, there's a there's a cable
at the top, and then there's a cable about halfway
through there, and he just kind of leans back and
lets like that hit two different parts of his body,
and the energy just starts kind of flowing through, and
it's it's almost like a massage if you think of
it that way, as far as how how relaxing it is.
And it's like, oh, that's the spot, and yeah, it's checking.
Speaker 1: On in there, okay. Yeah. And and so I will
be kind because it does not say in the book
whether it's around up or down. I will round up
so you can clear it three stress nice?
Speaker 2: Oh no no, no, so whispers drain half o holes.
Yeah yeah, with holes and electroplasm, it's just a clear
five drain.
Speaker 1: Oh well, then there you go, clear five drain.
Speaker 3: Nice.
Speaker 1: Yeah nice, I only had five, so you're at zero bo.
Speaker 8: No, you didn't even over indulge on that sweet electroplasm.
Speaker 1: What's the best part about dying is you can't overindulge your.
Speaker 8: Vice And oh true, that's right. I forget about that.
Speaker 1: Jeez, that's the best part about dying. Okay, Yeah, we'll
move away from drill bit in that and we'll talk
about what you were going to do next.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So with that and and having the list of
the of the names from Lord h. S. Lock Pay
is gonna go and investigate and try to get a
better sense of what's going on. And I guess really
what Vey's looking to do is kind of from this list,
understand who these other two parties are and more so
of like what them os are for this party. So
so Vey is gonna kind of go and it's gonna go,
I don't know, walk around town. I'm trying to think
of a spot to go to. This is not a
bar I always go. He goes to a bar within Like,
what's another place that you talk to people I'm so
out of touch.
Speaker 7: Yeah, you go to like one of those you know what,
you go to the sheets, which is indge and it's
kind of like a communist gathering ground for people that
are in the political.
Speaker 2: No, oh, that's perfect. Yeah, So I'm gonna make my
way over to the sheets and just try to understand
what the two sides that we've talked about as I
looked at my notes, which and just understand what type
of force and you know, risk that we have coming
in from the either the Leviathan Hunters or the Ministry
of Preservation. Right, trying to is just kind of going
in and trying to understand, you know, what they do
in order to force people to not vote or to.
Speaker 1: You know, put pressure on and so okay, absolutely, so
for free, I'll give you the following information. You can
check out the addresses provided and they are residentss all
of them. So these are the residences of these people,
so you know where Lord Strengthford's house is, you know
where like everyone else on that list, like you know
where they live. Also, for free, I'll provide you with
the following information because you will know this just kind
of being maybe not from Dustball, but you've been here
long enough that, like people have talked about it, it
is not a subtle affair. When people like it is
very common in Dustball for basically like privatized militaries to
show up and intimidate, slash, hurt people that try to
vote that they like, it's it's kind of like their
version of Jerry and Angry.
Speaker 3: Mm hmm, Jerry Mingling.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you know that that's like they're just going
to show up with weapons and beat people up, like
that's probably their plan.
Speaker 2: Cool, fair enough. I'm like you're like, oh, by the way,
this is super obvious. They just show up and knock
shit down like it's subtle.
Speaker 1: It's it's not like like the newspaper has provided warnings
saying like bring your armor, bring your weapons, like if
you want to vote, and that's pretty common across the district,
though there would be more information to Tickling specifically about
how they might impact six hours.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I think that's it, right. And so while
at the sheets, you know it's gonna be there's just
tit chatting, you know, talking amongst people, and maybe he's
going to see a group of people who are obviously
Leviathan hunters, and he's going to kind of make his
way into that area and just start you know, chatting
through and trying to get closer in. And it's like, oh, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: Go ahead and give you that role and we'll well,
and I'll give you some information some role play based
off of that. The fact that it's a crits you
you get lots of information before you even join in
on the conversation. You there's a pair of Leviathan hunters
will say they have the uh, the crest On and
they're running their uniforms more or less like they like
when they're not on the boat. They have the cloaks
that they wear to signify who they are, and they're
talking to to like an older woman. Clearly both of
these people have known her for a long time and
they're just like the Strangford is is going off as rails.
I know that we haven't we haven't produced in such
a long time. I I just don't understand the what
what he wants us to do now He's asking us
to go into six towers on election day. We're supposed
to set up blockades. We're supposed to to stop people
from crossing it. It's it's just insane. It's not what
I would do. It's not what I want to do.
But I don't know how else, like if it's just
not something you can do to to I Strengthford. So
you know that they're not necessarily down with the plane,
but the plan is to literally blockade the street around
the area with the Leviathan hunters. Do you want to
speak with them?
Speaker 2: Oh, that is interesting.
Speaker 1: I will say it will go well because you roll
the critical says.
Speaker 2: That's that is fair, and it's I'm like, I am
playing the cutting character who is the always dive in
and it's like, man, I'm not never, I'm never nearly
as clever as they. So having pre rolled absolutely, yeah, yeah,
you know, so gosh my god, how do you like
like dive in? And it's just like, oh, well, like
you know, if you're if you're trying to put a
stop to put like walkings on six towers, like obviously
you do a North Street over in the east, right,
because that would definitely stop, you know, at least the
majority of the folks from from reaching the polls. And
Vey's going to just kind of subtly introduce himself into
the conversation as if he was in it already.
Speaker 1: Okay, so I'll give you an option because you had
the increased effect, it was a good role. Do you
want to mislead them and give them bad information or
do you want to learn more about what the ministry
or preservation is up to.
Speaker 2: Ooh, I want to mislead them with bad.
Speaker 1: Information, okay, And it's pretty easy to do because the
information isn't necessarily bad. You just know that you have
enough time to just tell people to go around, maybe
start your day in the south district, south of the
district and move your way north, like you know what
I mean. Like you, so you you you have some
sort of plan in place, and I'm making note of
it that they are not going to be in the
best positions. But they take your advice pretty seriously. However,
that conversation goes running a long time, so I don't
want to arpea the whole thing, but yes, you you
do manage to get them thinking that like they have
a pretty solid plan about how they could organize this
more effectively. But you just know that you would be
able to work.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, exactly, and we'll we'll.
Speaker 1: Leave you there. You you do chat with them, you
learn a few things you learn like that. I'll well,
Lord Strangford is head of the levia the Hunters guild
that he is not actually super well liked right now
by most of the Leviathan Hunters because he is making
some very questionable decisions as of late, and that they
have not actually yielded any Leviathan's blood in almost half
a year. But when they say that, yes, it is
borderline of crisis.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it hasn't really come up, you know, on purpose. Yeah,
it's been going on, and Jacob never told us no,
of course not. That's why he's able to just wander around.
There's nothing going on, there's no work.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 1: The the Leviathan fields have come up empty as of late,
is how they were it. And there's a lot of
concern about that amongst other people who are in the know,
which is not very many. Yeah, and I think that's
about it. We're gonna go over to CJ Cjes.
Speaker 3: Gurdons like, yes, yes, I know what I want to do,
all right.
Speaker 5: By wakes up one morning and there is a feather
on her chest and she had a dream of disturbing
imagery of her compatriots being consumed by some golden cloak.
Speaker 8: So she would like to help them in the only
way she knows. She's useful in sniff and books.
Speaker 5: Okay, so she would like to study the Golden Cloak
to figure out what the fuck is going on here?
Speaker 1: Okay, I am going to you go ahead in the
long term project. Yeah, it's a long term project. We're
going to talk about We're gonna talk about shadow Man.
Speaker 3: Shadow Man, that's what I'll call it.
Speaker 1: It is an eight segment clock h and I'll throw
it on this thing. But go ahead and give me
a role for that.
Speaker 8: You got it.
Speaker 1: We're shadow in three is. It's got lots of class
going now, Oh.
Speaker 8: Yeah, oh, unfortunately tricky subject.
Speaker 1: And that is ultimately you are finding that there's not
a lot of books at least we're not readily available
in either the library that you live in or the
library that you traveled in previously, like that larger library
you I've looked through a lot of these books. There
are lots of books about old gods and the sun
and and lots of things that you've been kind of
glancing at. This figure the the idea of the yellow cloak,
the idea of the sun, and some sort of tree
birds eating goats or anything like that. Like it's just it.
You're really having trouble finding where to start, but you
know where you've You've gone through enough that you kind
of are narrowing it down slowly, so you make one
segment on the shadow Man clock.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I know where not to look now.
Speaker 1: Okay, we are getting pretty close to the end of
the night here, guys, So I want to do one
last call out. Does anyone want to take a third
downtime action?
Speaker 3: Um, let me take a peek at these clocks. We've
got some acquire follower clocks. Something bad that doesn't sound good.
Speaker 1: Something bad is a clock that I control.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the acquire followers might be worth doing it. We
still have gold or I'm sorry, not called coin to distribute.
Speaker 2: Okay, so oh yeah, if we want to talk like
we're like full wrap to like level of cl.
Speaker 1: Right, yes, so you if you guys are going to
do that, now would probably be the time we can
kind of montage that. So I also added one turf,
and that turf is you guys setting up the power grid.
Speaker 3: Okay, cool.
Speaker 1: You can pick where you want the turf to be
on the map. I just clicked it so that it
was there because like there's different pathways you can take.
But yeah, the power grid itself is giving you some
influence within the town as people will probably ask you
to use it.
Speaker 3: I can't charge my phone, but for.
Speaker 1: Eight coin you guys could move to a Tier one
with a stronghold.
Speaker 3: Oh, a stronghold, we'll take that.
Speaker 8: I do want to upgrade, like like, I'm down to
spend the money if you want to.
Speaker 1: That leaves you with five coin in your layers still
from last time. You also have a gun a revolver
that's worth four coin that's still there.
Speaker 2: And then we got screaming goats last session as well.
Speaker 3: We got the goats. We got finally how many goats?
Speaker 1: Goats? Yes, it's a pair of goats and them we
have not yet.
Speaker 2: No, they just kind of came in mid heist basically okay.
Speaker 3: But they're permanent goats. One of them needs to be
named John Paul gotier Oti for short.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's I think that's a personal decision. But whether
or not you nickname and disrespect the goat.
Speaker 6: So anybody have speed tams? Wait, wrong game, But.
Speaker 1: Yes, you guys are Tier one with a stronghold. You
have five coin remaining, plus any coin on your character
sheets you can always pull from stash.
Speaker 8: I was gonna say, do we get.
Speaker 6: Yes, you do.
Speaker 1: You do get stash when you upgrade, So you guys
will can three stash right now, everybody, everybody, everybody, And
that is true every time you upgrade, and that's true
every time you fill out your crew XP.
Speaker 3: Okay, so.
Speaker 1: I think we missed one, then added I don't care.
I would like to.
Speaker 3: I would like to progress this acquire followers clock, but
I don't know where we're at with additional coin? Can
can we dump one.
Speaker 6: To do that?
Speaker 1: Does anyone have coin on the character?
Speaker 3: She?
Speaker 1: You have coin in the in the vault?
Speaker 3: Trik? Yeah, yeah, I just grab them from the vault.
Speaker 2: Okay, all for academic.
Speaker 1: I marked it. I marked it off, So go ahead
and invest into your school.
Speaker 3: I would like to attune to do this.
Speaker 1: Okay, and this is as ludes, yes, okay, that's the Dean.
Speaker 3: When is deanly duty deely do?
Speaker 2: So it's like the day.
Speaker 1: Okay, so that's gonna mark you three more. So you're
one short of filling it out.
Speaker 3: Are we cool to dump the extra coin to recruit
some I don't know, ghastly students or faculty?
Speaker 2: Oh do you want it to be faculty?
Speaker 3: Get teachers in the school.
Speaker 1: Now, you guys are missing teachers. But Charter Hall also
recently burnt down, so maybe there's some people looking for jobs.
Speaker 3: How many people hear me out how many teachers died
in that fire?
Speaker 1: Not very many.
Speaker 8: Actually, some have good fire safety protocol if.
Speaker 1: You want, if you want them to say to me
to say yes, then I will consider.
Speaker 2: Are you trying to hire them after the fact they
got fired?
Speaker 3: Now they're getting hired.
Speaker 1: Nice?
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So you guys start to hire teachers and you
can describe the teachers any way you want, but.
Speaker 3: They're all screaming all the time and on fire mathematics.
Speaker 1: So I've been keeping track of how many times you Bill.
I am willing to workshop what that means, and I'll
talk to you about it in between sessions. Here, you
guys can either have followers that are kind of like
expendable and right now you would have three of them available, like,
or I can basically make like a like a tier
of school. Like as your school becomes more valuable, you're
kind of moving up like you would in a cru tier.
So that would put them at a level one strong
as well. Your school is not like a level one school.
Speaker 3: Intriguing, I think deserves further discussion.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll discuss it in between sessions about how we
want that to play out. But yes, for the time being,
you managed to bring over some faculty. Maybe some of
them are dead, maybe some of them are alive up
to you guys, but a mix.
Speaker 3: Bungs are all dead inside.
Speaker 1: That's right. We'll just pay them less. That'll do her,
and then we have one more thing, unless anyone else
has any more downtime actions they want to do. We
actually have two things I want to deal with before.
Speaker 2: We end our session. All right, hit us with the
hard stuff.
Speaker 1: Okay, well look, the first one is not heard. Someone
go ahead and roll one die for me, all right. Okay,
you do not gain any coin from your vice net.
It's it's a bit of a wash because you know,
like maybe you're giving some of the money back to
to the church, to the weeping ladies, like you guys
have some sort of arrangement going on with them. You know,
you've been focused on other stuff, so maybe you haven't
been recruiting as hard. But yeah. The second thing is
is that the Blue Coats show up.
Speaker 3: Oh, that's right, we already that was gonna happen.
Speaker 1: With a warrant and they kind of come just marching
in Darmit is the warrant. He grabs lutes, and kind
of pins him down against the table and he's and
he and he like looks back to the other guys, like,
make sure you get make sure you get a lightning
hook for this guy. He's he's a little bit slippery.
And you see at least a couple of them draw
out their lightning hooks and kind of are keeping an
eye on you. And Darmint looks to uh bay, We'll say,
because they is there?
Speaker 6: Sure?
Speaker 1: Why not? You're all there, everybody except for probably Jacob Ridgewater.
And he says, all right, we got a warrant here
for one arrest. Somebody's coming with me unless you've got
the right amount of coin.
Speaker 3: We just spent all the money.
Speaker 8: Money. Why do you guys spend the money.
Speaker 2: Before we try to spend it on a hiring ghosts?
Speaker 3: Damn it.
Speaker 2: I think we do have enough money. But I think
it also brings us down to zero money.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it would be six coins.
Speaker 2: Across all of us.
Speaker 3: Out of out of character, out of you know, it
should either be loose because he can just leave, or
it could be they because they can do a lot
of good ship. Well he's in there right.
Speaker 1: Well, so there's three options of how to handle this,
and I want to make sure you have all of them.
Speaker 2: Do caused this too? So let's put him up on
the time, like we could just we could, you know,
get rid of the problem.
Speaker 4: I mean, have they have they have they said anything
about me being the cause of the problem.
Speaker 8: And someone's got to come. They don't care who.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he said he has a warrant for one arrest.
And it's pretty common in Dustball that a lot of
times they know that criminal enterprises exist and they want
them to continue to exist to justify their existence, and
so often they'll they'll arrest one person for an entire
crews crimes unless like you're like, really a problem. Do
you have three options? You can pay six coins, You
can hand someone over for arrest, which will clear your
heat entirely. It is pretty cool getting you all the
way down to zero stress. Or you can try to
evade capture.
Speaker 3: We just jesus it.
Speaker 2: Well, I guess that's the score that you were talking about.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I kind of love that, but like at the
same time, like I kind of also love not having
any heat in it.
Speaker 8: I also do kind of like that too. Rock Paper scissors,
do we very.
Speaker 1: Quickly want to take a look at incarceration.
Speaker 2: I would love to I'd love to get a sense
of what that is. I feel like as the spider,
I am the person who goes to jail, but I
have no idea of what that actually entails.
Speaker 1: The only way to reduce your crew's wonder level is
through incarceration. When one of your crew members, friends, contacts,
or a framed enemy is convicted and incarcerated for crimes
associated with your crew, your water level is produced by one,
and you clear your heat, so it's not gone, it's
down by one.
Speaker 6: My bad.
Speaker 1: Incarceration may result from investigation, the rest by officers because
someone turns himself in or takes the fall for the
cruise crimes. The severity in prison sentence depends on your
water level. So at one to level three, this person
is going to jail for a year or two.
Speaker 3: Ooh, that is not brief.
Speaker 1: Incarceration is dehumanizing and brutal. The renown of your crew
is your only real defense inside. When you serve time,
making an incarceration wile using your cruise tire as the
dice pool, and then you can you can gain rep
from that role. You can you can gain prison claims.
There are things that you can do in prison that
no one else could do, that help you in prison
and help you outside of prison. So that is something
to consider.
Speaker 3: This seems like it requires some deliberation like this, this,
This might be a discussion for the coming days. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, yeah, yeah, so I will we'll say. With all
that being said, I think this might be our session
for today. Is there anything else anyone wants to say
or do in this particular moment.
Speaker 2: I do like the freeze frame and it's just like
head head head head head next time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, next time on Sins and consequences. We'll see
you next week. Nighty night, two.
Speaker 6: M S
Speaker 5: S SS
