Speaker 1: H h.
Speaker 2: Hello and welcome back to Heart the Rhythm, the only
actual play podcast in the world.
Speaker 3: Full stop. Wow, it's a big clan.
Speaker 2: You took care of the rest. Don't worry about it.
Deal with this is all you got, no options, just us.
Speaker 3: I wish that great recorder to the market.
Speaker 1: That's great.
Speaker 2: So I hope, I hope all you guys are having
you know, a good time over here, and we're recording
this at this time of real lifetime. It has just
been American Thanksgiving. We here in America have Thanksgiving, if
you're not familiar. Basically, we all get together with the
fam and have turkey and some other stuff to eat,
glut ourselves a little bit, and then completely forget what
the actual meaning of Thanksgiving is. Which is the best
way to handle it, you know, just just view doing
it as like a hey, get together, your family, have
a lot of food. It's probably the best way to
approach to the holiday because the rest of the stuff,
the actual history is pretty bleak. I know that at
least one of you traditionally celebrates American Thanksgiving. Ethan, now
that you're here in America, the Land of the Free.
Speaker 3: Did you celebrate American Thanksgiving?
Speaker 1: Ethan.
Speaker 3: So we actually did a month ago for can and Thanksgiving.
We went through and drove back up and visited a
bunch of family there, and we're just now getting over
all of that time and effort that it takes to
do all of that. Like it was like two three
weeks ago. I did like thirty hours of driving or
something like that. It was pretty bad a lot. Yeah,
in like a week, so we did nothing, but also
it felt more American Thanksgiving to us. We went to
a mall on Friday and was like, whoa, this place
is slammed. That's crazy choice. I want to go home.
Speaker 4: Yeah, unless you really really need something, don't go out
shopping on Black Friday.
Speaker 3: Oh no, I didn't leave the house.
Speaker 2: I worked in retail for a very long time, and
Black Friday is it's called Black Friday, by the way,
is the worst thing ever. There's been a lot of
bad stuff. There's been plagues, diseases. Worst Black Friday tops
it's the worst, especially if you've ever worked in retail.
Speaker 1: It in retail that like people die, like people die
so that they could say forty dollars on the television. Yeah,
it's nuts.
Speaker 2: It's absolutely nuts and everybody's like super rude about it.
Speaker 3: It's bad. It's bad.
Speaker 4: I already is being right after the holiday about being
thankful for what you have.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're thankful for the savings that you're about to have.
Speaker 3: Both. Thing is real weird to me.
Speaker 2: I work in a labor union and we get a
handful of paid holidays every year. Thanksgivings a paid holiday.
Black Friday is a paid holiday. It's kind of weird
to me, but hey, I'll take it.
Speaker 3: C J. Yes, do you celebrate thanks? I did? How'd
it go?
Speaker 1: Okay?
Speaker 4: When visited my parents' house of me and my sister,
she also is out of the famosus all us together.
Speaker 5: I brought my cat.
Speaker 4: They all state what since state state? Yeah, ok so
it's not too much of a drive. It's like twenty
minutes drive for each of us. Okay, Yeah, I wrat
my cat over. That was fun because he loves going.
He doesn't love going places, but he likes being new places.
He's very we love exploring. But they have a cat too,
so I was a little nervous, like, wh't started any fights,
but he was very polite.
Speaker 3: Good, that's risky introducing two foreign cats.
Speaker 4: Well, he was good with other cats in the in
the shelter. And then we knew that, like I had
another cat before that had spent a little time with
him before, so we knew that their cat wasn't super
aggressive against new cats.
Speaker 5: So like it was funny. So like he like follow
around my cat and be like who are you?
Speaker 4: But then like he went and explored a bathroom and
then he just sat in the doorway and he's like,
I'd like to leave, please, He's like, don't come near me.
Speaker 5: What are you doing?
Speaker 3: He's like, I like to leave, though I'd like to go, please, No,
don't come near me. Near me, I want to go.
Speaker 2: Question for you, Aaron, you are Canadian in Canada. From Canada,
I understand you have your own Thanksgiving. You come from
a different place with your own traditions. What's Canadian Thanksgiving? Like,
what do you guys do up there? Basically the same
thing we do, but better.
Speaker 1: So, like I don't know if it's better to be honest,
Like food in Canada is a little bit more expensive
and it doesn't taste as good, but it's because it
doesn't kill you as quickly.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, ours is made out of fake things.
Speaker 1: So it's like it depends on what you mean by better.
But yeah, like, well, okay, weird moment here. I'm an orphan,
so I don't really do Thanksgiving dinner. But my wife
and I we did have like a couple of people over.
I made a butterball turkey things like that. I saw
my uncle, one of my uncles. But I got yeah,
like I'm not like super super close with like my
my extended family just because of distance. Mostly. That's the
thing about Canada. We don't we don't live very close
together at all.
Speaker 2: So that's yeah, that's fair. I mean, it's my my family,
like the ones that I'm like blood related to, they
are all over the country, like no, not even remotely
close by. Like it's if I want to go drive
and see one of them, it's it's gonna take hours
and hours. Where's my wife's family, the furthest person in
her immediate family is where we ended up going for things.
Speaker 3: Thanksgiving.
Speaker 2: It's it's her mother, who's I don't know, man, maybe
like twenty minutes, like a twenty minute drive. Her brother
lives two streets over. You turn left and then you
turn right, and then you turn left, and.
Speaker 3: It's his house.
Speaker 2: It's at all, pretty close by him. So we went
up there, and so I'm getting ahead of myself. What
do you guys eat for Thanksgiving? Beyond turkey? What's what's
this like the side dish? What's your what's your rock
star side dish?
Speaker 3: Number one?
Speaker 1: Okay? For me personally, I do candy, parsnips and mashed potatoes.
Speaker 3: Okay, what a parsnip?
Speaker 1: Parsnip is a root vegetable, but it's like a little
sweeter than a potato, closer to a route baga in
terms of consistency.
Speaker 3: Okay, now what is a rootabaga? That coming is? No, dude?
Is It's a non farinaceous tuber.
Speaker 1: Does that help?
Speaker 3: Well? But maybe another example help?
Speaker 1: Or a potato is a farinaceous tuber because it grows
islets and that's how it like spreads, it's seats, all right, fair,
Non farinaceous tubers have like seeds inside, so they'll degrade
under the soil and then that's how they plant receipts.
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, yeah, okay.
Speaker 1: But.
Speaker 2: I didn't I regret it. So you eat you eat
ground fruit?
Speaker 3: Is it right? Okay?
Speaker 1: It's basically like like a white beat.
Speaker 3: What like a rhythm. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Right, So it's the thing that in Super Mario Brothers too,
that you ain't out of the ground you throw the
bad guys.
Speaker 1: Yeah actually, I mean those are technically radishes, but they're
they're basically radishes, but they're they're they're sweet and then yeah,
so like that's what I do. But like it's basically
all the same stuff as far as I'm aware through
the watching the media, because all our media is your media.
Speaker 3: That yeah, that's fair.
Speaker 1: So it's like cranberry sauce and I mean some people
do mac and cheese, like if they're feel and feisty, okay, yeah,
mostly just like mashed potatoes and creevy and turkey ham.
I always bring meatballs. I'm a big fan of meatballs
because you can just put it in a crockpot, put
it up.
Speaker 3: Oh I didn't let it, just let it hang out
for all, you know, leading up the whole day. Oh
yeah fuck yeah.
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's kind of it's just an excuse to
eat a lot of food, but without all the fan
fair because we we we cheate our history with Native
Americans different than you do. I don't know if it's
too political for the show in Canada either, we very
quietly just acknowledged that we definitely did genocide.
Speaker 2: Oh we we don't talk about it. It's it is
a secret. You can't You can't hear me winking. Uh yeah, No,
they don't talk about it. They go like, is because
they were friends, and then the Native Americans tell that's
how they played card.
Speaker 1: We absolutely do not associate those two things at all.
It's like Thanksgiving is its own thing. It has nothing
to do with the Natives except that they'll eat with
us now because well we're all friends.
Speaker 3: Sorry again, you can't hear me winking. All right, so
oh boy, all right, yeah man.
Speaker 2: I think the most accurate depiction of American history when
it comes to actual Thanksgiving is the movie Adam's Family Values.
So let's uh, let's go ahead and bring it on
down to eat. What's what's your rock star side dish
for Thanksgiving? Whether it be Canadian or American?
Speaker 3: So funny enough, we actually covered this in the last
episode I went through. I talked about the turkey dish
that I had, so I went in and for me,
it's stuffing. That being said, just to divert the conversation
a little bit. I'm drinking a pickle beer right now.
I haven't had one of those yet, but I've been
odd and weird and that it's so it's it's it
goes actually and it's like it's mostly a beer, and
then it really kind of tastes like someone just took
like a third of the beer and just threw it
out and then took a third of the pickle juice
from a jar and poured it in, And like, I
don't hate it. I don't love it. You know, I
think it'll grow on me. I think that's the thing.
I think, Like the first stip, it's like I don't know.
I think I'm going to finish this can. I might
go grab a second one, so we'll Okay, it'll.
Speaker 2: Grow on you like one of those furnace tubers. Well,
c J remember one side dish Thanksgiving time? Also, did
you prepare any that you brought with two?
Speaker 3: Thanksgiving?
Speaker 4: I did make some. I have these I log home
the little potato jiblets. These like little tiny eagle squares
of potatoes that chopped up. They doled my knife. They
were I chopped so many potatoes. Uh, but it's just potatoes.
Is just kind of oil in the oven and then
like salt pepper and I put rosemary on them.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, kind of like a yeah that sounds good,
that sounds good.
Speaker 4: Little crispy, Yeah, little crispy, little little potato crispy rosemary good.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Those were good.
Speaker 4: I like the the stuffing that my sister made this year.
Like sometimes iffy about it about stuffing, but like whenever
she did this, she was like, oh that's good.
Speaker 2: Okay, cool. Was Thanksgiving good for you guys? I mean
like Canadian Thanksgiving or American Thanksgiving? You guess, any kind
of mishaps, any kind of horror stories.
Speaker 1: I actually don't have horror stories social with Thanksgiving because
like again, like I don't spend that much time around
like my extended family, So it's just like the weird
conversations that you see on the media don't happen.
Speaker 3: In my house.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Like the last time I went to like extended family
was when I was like ten. Those on the only
memories I have with that was me and my sister
used to have like bread roll eating contests.
Speaker 3: Eat the most spread rolls? Had you do? That was delicious?
And then and then like.
Speaker 4: Or like nine of them and then we eat the
like cornicopia thing, a lot of a lot of carbohydrates.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, not really. Oh the last time I ended
up having to drive over to Canada, I saw a
car that the day before it was completely on fire,
which like that was like a cool thing you don't
see Like, so it was like the charred remains of
a car and it was like it wasn't smoky, but
you could tell them like that's fresh. And then like
you looked at it and we're like, yeah, there's pictures.
Yeah it's yesterday. Man, Like that traffic would have absolutely sucked.
And first off, they got out safe and all that.
But yeah, so just the desolated body of a I
don't know, it's a toyot a camera or something.
Speaker 1: Ooh, can I interrupt for one second because I just
have like a crazy story that that reminded me of
and it had nothing to do with Thanksgiving. But one
time my wife and I we were living in the city,
and we left the city for the day, drove like
four hours to go where we were going, spent like
two and a half hours doing what we were doing,
and then four and a half hours back and on
the way there, we saw this car that was just
like in the middle between two highways, upside down, and
we're like, but there was, but there was no one around,
and so we're like, clearly someone knows and this isn't
our problem. So we're just gonna go on with our day.
But then when we came back that night, it was
still there, and I was like, did everybody who saw
that car think the same thing we did? And just
not No one reported it and no police happened to
drive in that area. So then I just called the
police station, was like, hey, did you know if there's
an upside down car that's been there since six thirty
in the morning, And they're like, oh no, And I
was like, no, I can tell you where it is
and you can go look at it like it's nuts.
Speaker 3: I can't believe.
Speaker 2: I can't believe the person whose car that is didn't
say anything. Well, they must have been like drunk and
they're like, don't tell anybody.
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 1: It turns out that the car was stolen. It was
in the news like this the next day. So someone's
car got stolen. The kids like drove it off the
highway and then flipped it upside down, scrambled out and
ran away and then just no one said anything because
everyone assumed somebody else would do it.
Speaker 3: Kids almost got away with it. Two Yeah, but it's like,
uh oh sorry, that's where the car landed was in
the uk any valley.
Speaker 1: Yes, who are you now?
Speaker 5: You can talk about yourself?
Speaker 2: Yes, I'm had a hello. I had American Thanksgiving. We
went to my mother in laws place. The oven caught
on fire while the turkey was cooking. Uh oh, like
on firal Billowoke. I took some pictures and posted them
online while it was still on fire, and you know,
everything's okay, and the turkey turkey came out okay. Uh
and then you know, after the fire went out, started
the oven backup, put it back in. It was like
the best most delicious turkey.
Speaker 3: I've had in years. It came out really good even
though it started a gas fire, and everybody's okay.
Speaker 2: You know, so that's cool. That's my horror story about Thanksgiving.
And if I had to choose my number one side dish,
he's gotta be the sweet potatoes.
Speaker 5: Potatoes are good. I do like stuep potatoes.
Speaker 3: Yeah they do.
Speaker 2: Uh well, my mother in law makes a thing where
it's like you know, like mashed up sweet potatoes and
there's like pineapple rings in there, and then but marshmallows
on the top, and you and you and you like
broil it, so it like cooks and makes like a
marshmallow shell on the top that you crack through and
you're spooning, almost like crim brulet. It's delicious. I feel
very full, and it's been a couple of days.
Speaker 3: I'm so surprised how much Americans use marshmallows and the
things that they cook. It's disgusting.
Speaker 2: We're terrible people with terrible habits and we're all gonna die.
But it's delicious though, you know, like live, live deliciously,
die deliciously.
Speaker 3: It's a family motto. I guess the thing right, Put
that in.
Speaker 2: My fucking grave when I die in three months from diabetes.
Speaker 3: H yes. So uh.
Speaker 2: We're here to play Heart, a weird role playing game
that takes place in the bizarre underground world of the
Hat Beneath the Spire in the world of Destera. We
left off I believe you guys had found your way
through a bizarre crystalline maze into a settlement known as
the Labyrinth. You'd managed to pry open a door and
ended up in uh where where was this? Do you
guys recall where you ended up?
Speaker 3: The labyrinth?
Speaker 2: Like?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 2: Uh, you guys remember what I described at the end?
I don't know, I I.
Speaker 3: We you we kind of.
Speaker 1: I don't think we've described much of what we saw
other than there was like a a journal.
Speaker 2: We had the journal before you guys left. There was
the journal of Carlos.
Speaker 3: Carlos, that's right. So then I got to or something right,
it was like the kind of like this outskirty kind
of town.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you had climbed through this door and made
your way into it appeared to be some sort of clamped,
cluttered office.
Speaker 3: You remember that?
Speaker 2: Yes, Okay, if you do, you do all right, We're
gonna pick up from there. So let's go over real
quick before we get going. What we've got for your
beats for this session. Let's start from Ethan. What do
we got for your beats?
Speaker 3: So the beats I have are to take major blood
follow and to claim a resource of at least D
ten from a dangerous location.
Speaker 1: Okay, cool?
Speaker 3: And how about Aaron, what do we got.
Speaker 1: So I have take a minor fortune follow? Okay, receive
some bad karma basically, and then yeah, coherce an important
or beloved NPC into undertaking a task they don't want
to do.
Speaker 3: Okay, I love the sounds of that one.
Speaker 2: They really go, Oh yeah, then c J, what do
you get.
Speaker 5: Back to manners?
Speaker 4: One is let your curiosity lead you into danger and
communicate with something of the heart.
Speaker 3: Okay, there we go.
Speaker 2: Find yourself in a cramped, cluttered office. It appears to
be intact mostly, but there's a lot of things built up,
a lot of barricades they're set up. There's a bunch
of furniture moved in ways that look kind of like
a maze.
Speaker 3: You push through. The door behind you closes as you wenter.
You're there. Where would you like to go?
Speaker 2: Do you want to progress forward? You guys, have anything
particular you want to do? Or you want me to
keep describing stuff?
Speaker 3: I want to.
Speaker 1: Oh, that's that's how I want to know if if
this is like a welk like do we get the
vibe that this is a settlement full of like people
or is this just like a creepy and empty office building?
So where you're at now?
Speaker 2: You stopped for a moment, you listen, you didn't get
any kind of really description of it. You just know
that Carlo is supposed to be here somewhere. You listen
and you can hear some movement.
Speaker 3: It's hard to judge where anying's coming from because there's
all these bizarre echoes from all of the weird walls.
Speaker 2: And barricades that are put up. You're some shuffling. There's
definitely somebody in here, somewhere in this office with you,
but it's very dark. You do have flashlights of some kind.
I don't remember exactly how they were described, flashlights or torches.
But you're able to see, but not too far because
there's all these barricades and things that twist and turn
and curve.
Speaker 1: Okay, I have a plan. I have a plan. I
reach into my robe and I pull out a small
glass jar, and inside is a heart's bloom rose. What
I would like to do is pluck one of the petals,
very delicately. Okay, close the jar, put it away. It's
very fragile, and then I will recite an incantation and
perform a dance and then release the pedal. And then
the goal is that if this spell is successful, the
pedal will float on like wind and lead us towards
our objective.
Speaker 2: Cool.
Speaker 3: I love it.
Speaker 1: So I could make it a cultur role to see
see you. Yeah, let's see if I.
Speaker 3: Apparently I'm not very good at a cult. Well, no,
I I have I have the domain.
Speaker 1: I have the the cult domain.
Speaker 2: So okay, so that yeah, the occult domain is in
this case not applicable. Uh, you have Warren available to you.
If you look at the landmarks here, we are in
a Tier one landmark known as Labyrinth.
Speaker 3: Uh, it is Warren. There's the domain.
Speaker 2: If you have the domain of Warren, you can add
a ten sider to your pool. Start off with one.
Always they would make it too. And what you're trying
to do here, it would, I would say, is delve.
Speaker 1: Okay, and then domain is warrened I'm gonna roll okay, Wow, Yes,
I have a car.
Speaker 3: Okay. So success at a cost. So that means that.
Speaker 2: You succeed, but you do take stress. So the stress
that you're gonna take from here based off of what
you're doing, I would call this echo stress.
Speaker 3: Something weird is happening.
Speaker 4: To you.
Speaker 3: And we are in at where'd you go? Got so
many things?
Speaker 2: The default stress for this area is a D six,
So here we go. Oh ope, the world two D six.
I'm sorry, let mistick. Let's try it again. You don't
take that much. You don't take eleven, you only take
five five, So you take five stress to echo.
Speaker 1: Oh is this something to do with the bees or
is this like the environment? Well?
Speaker 2: This is this is the the reaction to your ritual
that you're performing is it's it.
Speaker 3: Doesn't do what you think it does.
Speaker 2: The heart bloom rose pass does not react in the
way you would expect it to. So I need you
to roll for fallout based on your echo.
Speaker 1: Okay, I got two, which is min fat.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yep, okay, so your echo stress reset. We've got
our first fallout. Everybody, your echo stress resets back down
to zero and you take your first minor fallow fall out.
So let me find where that is in my whole
bookie book to see the minor echo fallout, it's page eighty.
Oh you're gonna find out.
Speaker 3: It's like turn your boat page eighty hm hmm.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what, I think we're gonna go with it.
So we're gonna go with the conduit mm hmm. Because
you're oh, you know what, hold on hold on, hold on,
let me don't check it. If this counts as echo.
I think this might be echoing here.
Speaker 3: Let's see.
Speaker 2: Blood mind fortune. No, okay, you're fine on that. So, yeah,
you did conduit minor fallout. I believe there's a compendium
entry for fallouts. Yep, there you go, conduit. You can
drag that straight onto your character sheet.
Speaker 1: Okay, I will do that.
Speaker 2: They're in some kind of order that I cannot decide.
It's not albabetical answerdamn sure. Drinking on and it works
your character here.
Speaker 1: Your best efforts to keep the unreal energies of the
heart of Bay are futile. Your body is a crucible
for strain. You cannot use echo protection.
Speaker 2: All right, Well you don't have that anyway, but that's
not that bad. So the weird energy is the heart
are starting to radiate out from you as you try
to do this. The heart bloom pedal does its thing.
It lifts off from your hand after you do your dance.
And I would imagine this dance is like a little
bit of a disco kind of vibe to it, just
because that's what I feel like is appropriate. You can
correct me if I'm wrong, but the heart Bloom pedal
lifts off from your hand, and it kind of does
like a little loop de and then it starts to
drift on an unfelt breeze, and you can follow it.
But as it's doing so, little wisps of energy, red
cribs and energy flow between you and this heart Bloom rose,
and you can feel it twisting within you, not quite
in your stomach, not quite within your chest, Somewhere beyond you,
you feel a twist. A twist remains even though the
heart Bloom pedal moves to its final destination.
Speaker 3: You, guys, pursue.
Speaker 2: You head further in through this labyrinth, and it twists
and winds through this office until you get close enough
that you can hear the tapping.
Speaker 3: Of a typewriter.
Speaker 2: You move through, you can see a little bit of
a flickering light like that of a gas lamp. You're
around the corner, and you see before you a man
sitting at a desk. Click clack, type and away. So
I'm gonna view this character artwork and sit to you, guys, here,
I see.
Speaker 3: It a lot of picture, doctor Bouriol.
Speaker 2: There's a man, a human man, sitting at a desk.
That's cluttered and covered in papers, and he's click clacking
away at a typewriter, and he's got a little gas
lamp going on his desk and he's just like furiously typing.
Speaker 3: He's like, oh no, that can't be right. This is
not it's not it. I've got to work on this.
I've got to figure this out. There's got to be
a way. There's got to be a way.
Speaker 2: My work is very important and I need to find
the answers.
Speaker 4: And what is that?
Speaker 3: I hear something? Someone's coming. Who are you?
Speaker 2: Show yourself? And he rises to his lifting up his
gas lantern, and he starts to peer around, and he's
got a sawed off shotgun that looks like it's from
eighteen sixty something. He starts to move around towards you.
Speaker 5: Or no, we don't mean any harm.
Speaker 3: Who how did you get in here? Everything's been barricaded.
This place is safe, it's safe, My work is safe here.
How did you enter? How did you get in? That
way has been barricaded? Explain yourself? Are you a demon?
Let's talk a my check?
Speaker 5: Very interesting you must be those the barricades, those aren't
very strong?
Speaker 3: Interesting? Interesting? Interesting? You know you here? Come step into
the light. Step into the light.
Speaker 4: You.
Speaker 3: I want to see you. I need to examine you.
Please step forth, Keep your hands at a distance, keep
them up where I can see them. I don't want
any funny business. My business is very serious.
Speaker 5: Mm and one day we're just looking for somebody. We're
trying to hurt nobody.
Speaker 3: How much fellow, aren't you? Hmmm? Yes, your mustache, it's
very personally. I'm interested. List Please open your mouth, let
me look, let me look inside. I need to see
your teeth. Yeah, oh h oh, yes, very good, very

your sinuses? Yes, your yes, very good, very good. You
seem healthy and one of them. What an upsider? Well,
you must be an outsider because you came here through
this How did you get here? That was barricaded?
Speaker 2: There's no way, there's no way you've entered through this direction.
That direction is safe and secure. You must bypass my minds.
Speaker 3: How have you done? So? What route did you take?
Where are you from? Tell me answer my questions. Please,
very important.
Speaker 1: While he's talking to raw alone, who's here, I'm gonna
just walk by him and start looking at his work,
not touching anything, but I'm gonna start reading what he's writing.
Speaker 3: Be careful, be careful. There are some thoughts in there
in those pages that may warp your mind very well,
so be cautious. If you don't know the whole thing,
tell what I tear you apart. It's very very curious work,
and very interesting and very precious work. But you're welcome
to look at it if you want. Now, how many
how do you know? This man? Has he been here
with you? Is this a man? I cannot tell? You
are sort of crystalline god here in this mask, in
your dainty figure. It could be a man. It could
be a hmm. Demon. You must answer me, for if
you are a demon and you are curl to answer,
and you do not, you will die. Am I shotgun
or buy your own impulse? Answer me? Demon? Man? There
are three three men here? No demon? Three man. Yes,
as a man, I'm a man. You are a man?
Three men, three men, all men? Three men?
Speaker 2: All men?
Speaker 3: What can this mean? I will take this down in
my notes. Please stand up right? What brings you here?
Why are you here? You want? What do you want?
What do you want? How did you?
Speaker 4: Three?
Speaker 3: But four? And yes, we see that you're a very
very us going on. But we two have some important
work which might be on a bit of a time crunch.
So we're looking for a mister Carlos. Carlos interesting, interesting, interesting, Yes, yes, yes,
I've seen him before recently not recently. How time is
a funny thing when you think about time? How do
you perceive it? Does it move in a line? Does
it move side to side? Does it go in a
fat circle? Or is there something more cursed about it?
Tell me, I like to think of it impulses hmmm,
I'm intrigued. Now how did you get in? Please tell me?
I thought I defense is secure and that your legs Yes,
we just walked all right? Huh.
Speaker 1: Utilizing the power of arcade arts, I.
Speaker 3: Did not prepare for such things. I merely built barricades
and placed land mines, adds a very classic classic strategy.
You see, I did not anticipate the arcade. How can
one anticipate the arcane? In worlds where physic can be
very tricky? Ask you this, what do you want with Carlos,
what do you seek him? Why have you come here
to my office? Do you need medical services? I would
be glad to render them upon you for you to you. Ah, yes,
at this.
Speaker 1: Time, I don't believe we required medical assistance. Carlos has
a debt, not a financial debt, of course, but a
debt of servitude, an expectation that he has worked to complete.
Speaker 3: You do know where the red robes. Oh, of course
he did, Of course he did. We all have things
that are very important here. That's why we're here.
Speaker 2: This is a community of spots where we need to
build safety in numbers and barricades and defenses and land mines.
Speaker 3: Of course.
Speaker 2: Now you said, yeah, something married important. Maybe I can
help you help him protect it? Now, Carlos, you say,
what does he have?
Speaker 3: What does he have? I'd like to know. Well, all
we know is that it's as information. It's not information,
it's a device. And what we know is that he's
not protecting it very securely. So we're looking to go
and oh, no, better protect it. You just seeing interesting? Interesting?
I can get you through this office out on the
other side onto the streets. Now, the streets all very
dangerous because they are very secure, very secure, but not
unless you understand them. You see, for it is a
defense more than landmine trying to build up, Oh, more
than land minds. Land minds, raise a while sheet emplacements.
Speaker 2: Oh, it's beautiful, corridors upon corridors, the twist.
Speaker 3: And and then you'll get lost in there. And if
you don't have a guide, oh you'll die. Oh it
is quite secure. Now.
Speaker 2: It's very important here is that we're building this community together,
all of us trying to protect one another and our
own very important goods. But at the same time, I
don't want them fucking with my stuff, so I like
to keep them out too.
Speaker 3: It's very ricky. It's a cleverorative effort. Now, if you're
trying to find Carlos, you'll need to go out. I
will give you the guide here in exchange. The's something
that you consider precious anyway, one precious thing that you
consider precious yourself, and I will keep it very safe,
trust me. But I will give your guidance on how
to escape my office. It's very dangerous otherwise. And once
you're there, I can tell you where to go to
find where Carlos is hidden. There's a certain apartment building
that the newcomers tend to flock to you. Mm hmm.
Do you have?
Speaker 2: What can I have?
Speaker 3: Do you have anything? You you're the man with a mask.
Do you have teeth?
Speaker 1: Mm hmm. I would say to regard my face itself
would be a gift.
Speaker 3: Mm hmmm. Do you consider it precious?
Speaker 2: Delicate, something that needs to be protected. Clearly, you're trying
to protect your identity for such a mask.
Speaker 3: Why who's looking for you? Tell me that, and I
uh will be happy. I will be satisfied if I
can see your face and you tell me who's looking
for you? And if I can look at your teeth
face and as.
Speaker 1: Well, my friend, I will, but not here in front
of the others.
Speaker 2: That's fine, fine, I under stand the need for privacy. However,
it's very important to me that I don't leave my
work unattended. So the two of you must leave for
a moment, but not before you show me your.
Speaker 3: Teeth, please, I'd like to see them.
Speaker 2: Oh, Wood, don't afraid. I'm not going to do anything
up to Wood with your teeth. I just want to
make sure that you've got the right teeth in your mouth,
the ones that should be there, not the ones that
shouldn't because that is a very major concern for me
and my research.
Speaker 3: Neil, we'll crouch down a little bit and open his
mouth to have his tee. Nurse, all, did you did
you know about this this tooth here you have? It's
an additional cusp. It's rather were where rare ha ha,
rather rare? You have an additional cusp on your third molars?
Very interesting? Is that normal for your people? You have
very very interesting features. Are you some sort of elf
with the pointed ears? I've read about helves. I don't
know if I've ever seen one, but you appear to
be one, And do your elves normally have this additional cusp?
For I've done quite a bit of research, and from
my understanding, it's fairly rare amongst humans like myself to
have such an additional cusp on your molder. I like
to think of my teeth as quite normal drought teeth,
but I could not tell you for certain if there
is or is not an additional cuts on my peers teeth.
Speaker 2: Well, if you and he sticks his finger in your mouth,
that's at touch and he's like, you can see right here, there's.
Speaker 3: An additional cusp on the inside. It looks something like
a thumb on your tooth. It's very interesting. Please fill
it with your tongue. Let me watch you feel it
with your tongue. Do you feel it? At this point,
getting a little uncomfortable, Neil is going to do you
look up a little bit though. You can see playing
with the cusp in his mouth as he walks away. Yes, yes, yes,
such a nice, a fantastic find, my friend. Keep those
teeth safe.
Speaker 2: You never know when you'll need an extra cusp. Now,
please be away when I look at this man's face
and teeth. Now you remove your mask and tell me
who it is that's looking for you, that you're hiding from,
and maybe maybe I can hide you here, keep you safe.
Speaker 3: But I want to see your teeth. He takes off
his mask. It's quite heavy, but he does hold it
with one hand.
Speaker 1: Beneath.
Speaker 3: He is like almost impossibly handsome.
Speaker 6: Uh somewhat not nearly as hideous as I had anticipated.
I thought you would be horribly burnt. Also, though he does.
Speaker 1: See that's surrounding his right eye, that there are like
insects crawling in and out of his right eye is
what I should have probably said.
Speaker 3: Do you are you aware of this. You have some
sort of yes creature crawling about your Okay, very good. Interesting.
Now let me see your teeth he opens. Which one's
your favorite?
Speaker 1: He opens his mouth to show him his teeth. But
if the man tries to touch him, I'm gonna react,
not necessarily.
Speaker 3: One of these teeth is your favorite?
Speaker 4: Tell me.
Speaker 1: I reach into my own mouth and I pull out
a metal tooth. I say this one is by far
the most.
Speaker 2: Do you grow metal teeth? Or is this something that's
been implanted into Uh?
Speaker 1: No, I paid someone to implanted inside me.
Speaker 3: Oh, may I hold this tooth?
Speaker 1: You can keep it.
Speaker 3: I give him my tooth. Are you sure this is?
This is quite the favor you've given me. I will
make it safe. I will keep it very safe, and
if you ever need it, you come back to me
and it'll be here. It'll be safe, be very safe.
I'll be very safe. Yes, so excellent, excellent. Go ahead
and return your mask to your face. It's uh But
tell me who is it? Who is it that you
hide from?
Speaker 1: I do not hide.
Speaker 3: This is the way of my people.
Speaker 1: We wear our true faces, our chosen faces.
Speaker 3: Interesting, you don't you don't need to hide from anyone.
You don't need to be kept safe. Okay, fine, well,
don't worry, but I have a question for you now
allow me.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, yes, excellent, excellent.
Speaker 3: I would love to hear your question. But first, your
friends are welcome to return whenever you feel that they should.
But go ahead, what is your question? Please?
Speaker 2: While you're asking your question, don't mind me, I'm going
to be drawing up a map for you.
Speaker 3: Most excellent.
Speaker 1: I'll white open the door, I guess, so that they
can step in, and then as they step in, I'll
just be asking Carlos, how long has he been here?
Or rather, is he well white within the village.
Speaker 3: He only passed through my office very briefly. He actually
came from the same way that.
Speaker 2: You did before I put in the landmines, which is
very confusing to me that you were able to bypass
them so successfully. I heard no explosions, and you all
seem to have all of your feet, so I don't
know how you've done it, but I don't like it.
But here is a map that I've been drawing here
and it looks it's.
Speaker 3: Like a like a maze.
Speaker 2: It's like all you have to do is follow the
path that I've drawn here with the marker, and you
can get out safely. If you see anything that looks
like a land mine, don't step on it, afford it.
Duck under the race a while, and if you hear something,
click duck before you count to two, otherwise you may
lose your head. Now Carlos passed through here. We hard
to say there's not any good way to keep track
of time down here, but it feels very recently. I
don't generally venture too far out into the city itself
because I have.
Speaker 3: Very important work here, you see. But I do get visitors,
visitors that have, you know, received similar maps to this
one in exchange for their own trinkets as you see here.
Speaker 2: And he opens up like he's got like a curio
cabinet and it's got all sorts of weird things inside.
It's like they got it like there's like a spoon
and like a key, and like all sorts of weird
like trinkets. It's like they're all very safe here, very safe.
And my friends come back to me when they need help,
and you I will consider to be my friends. Now
that I've seen all of your teeth, you can come
back anytime you'd like, and I will treat your wounds
and teeth. And if you have secrets you want kept
secrets and safe, I will do so as well. But
Carlos was the.
Speaker 3: Question, Yes, yeah, you know in direction anyone?
Speaker 2: Yes, he went out into the city proper, and he
most likely went to that apartment building. I will draw
that onto the map as well. Now, when you find him,
tell him I said, hello. I guess, but I don't know.
But I have not heard anybody speak ill of him.
I have not seen him come back through. So it
is my best estimation that he has not been harmed
in any kind of major way. Otherwise he most likely
would return here, as I am the best doctor.
Speaker 3: In all of the Labyrinth. Now do me a favor.
While you're looking for your friend. If you hear anything
about the minotaur, please tell me. I want to see it.
It would be gloria. Yes, I hear he's coming. Don't
love the sounds of that, Oh, it will be glorious
for you.
Speaker 1: See.
Speaker 2: Once the Labyrinth has been completed to a successful point
where it has reached LABYRINTHI and enough qualities, it will
be joined with the gig Labyrinth, the Big One, Yes,
and the Minotaur will come through. You will keep us
all very safe. He will protect all of our important things.
Speaker 3: Er sounds good.
Speaker 5: Great for you, all right, I think we got what
we needed.
Speaker 3: Very good. Now here's your map. Do be careful and.
Speaker 2: When you come back through, I please come back through.
I would love and make sure your.
Speaker 3: Teeth through, okay, please, I'll try to keep them in muskull.
Very good, Very good. I think we'll make our way
out of the office through a narrow I think it'll
be through like a tiny narrow window originally, and then
like shuffling in between like tight buildings too. Absolutely make
it onto like the main road. Absolutely so. Yeah.
Speaker 2: You guys go out a window and you're walking across
it's it's like a three inch three and a half
inch like concrete little outcropping below the window that like
pigeons walk on, and you guys like shuffle across.
Speaker 3: That while you're outside like big like arm right hands
just kind of like digging into the wall.
Speaker 4: Try to like.
Speaker 2: Yes, and like you're you're going across, you hear something click,
you guys, duck. The thing comes across like a saw
blade comes out overhead and then it, you know, retracts
back in and you see land mines here and there,
and like you see at one point a pigeon sweep
in land peck peck peck, step over step over step
on land mine explodes and you guys make your way
down into the main uh, the main road, the main street,
which is there's a lot of people that are moving
around and they're all busy building stuff and as they
see you come through, they all look very furtive and
kind of like jittery and be like a newcomers.
Speaker 3: You're not here to steal from me? Sorry, I don't,
I don't. Are you here to help out here?
Speaker 5: Still looking for Carlos, I've.
Speaker 3: Heard of him. He's in the apartment building. Very good art,
thank you.
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna have you guys try to progress towards
this building like a delve. I oh, you know what,
there's not a good way for me to put that
picture in here, so I'm gonna add it into the
chat log in zoom. Let me upload a picture here
so you guys can see what the apartment building looks like.
I've got a queue up so once we get there,
you guys will have access to it so you can do, uh,
the main thing you're going to be trying to do
is a delve to get through. I can't think of
any other actions off the top of my head that
are going to be very helpful.
Speaker 3: I can compel people to tell me where the traps are,
absolutely you can. I like that.
Speaker 2: That's definitely a valid option. Yeah, so we're in ig
more in as well.
Speaker 3: Cool. Yeah, So coming out onto the main street, Nile
is going to use his hunt and so what that
looks like is he's going to take the map that's
been drawn up and start to position himself based off
of the different landmarks and some of the in and
outs of like how things are. You know, there are
openings and walls and those types of things, and I'd
like to think it's just kind of you know, zooming
in as far as like your like like location of
where are we actually and what direction do we need
to go? Yeah, I'll take it all right, So we'll
roll the hunt and the domain is Warren and just
roll I guess still learn the system. Yeah that's right.
Speaker 2: Oh oh, you got an eight on there, so we're
taking the best one that you got, which is the eight.
Eight is success, no stress, fantastic, So you're gonna deal
a bunch of damage basically to the resistance on this
based off of if you don't have anything that's going
to help you with your hunt that you think is
appropriate for this.
Speaker 3: Your regular die is a D four. Oh right, uh oh,
so I just hit D four then yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, little triangle in the chat box.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, I add the wrong tab open. That's a two.
Speaker 4: Here.
Speaker 3: We get two done to it. Now let's go on.
So who wants to do something next?
Speaker 1: I can go.
Speaker 4: Go for it?
Speaker 5: Do I use the trailblazer?
Speaker 3: What is your trailblazer?
Speaker 4: Thinks at least you explorers to lost sites and distant
stations have taught you how to best smooth through the
city beneath even costs of your own help. When you
lead a party on a dell, you may activate this ability.
When active, increase the stress dice inflicted on the dell
and that the delve inflicts on you by one step.
Speaker 3: Cool, Yeah, absolute can.
Speaker 5: Okay, So I've just got the one thing for delve.
I don't have this domain.
Speaker 2: Okay, so you're rolling two dice, Okay, the standard still.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then I don't know if you have the
dimensional barometer still, but you have the dimensional barometer. Still,
I don't know if it would apply here.
Speaker 5: Okay, I don't think.
Speaker 3: I need it. Yeah, we'll we'll let that go.
Speaker 2: So I mean that'll that'll let you upgrade the amount
of damage to So you got a regular old success
on that eight.
Speaker 3: So you're good. No stress for you.
Speaker 2: So h the barometer is a D six, So we're
gonna roll a D eight for you to inflict stress
on navigating.
Speaker 3: Yeah, two pyramids touch butts.
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, so you touch the but for two. All right, Aaron,
what do you got?
Speaker 3: What are you trying to do here? Do those eyebrowsers
by the way, no worries, Yeah, no, I'm I've got
killer eyebrows, ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 2: The best part is when you turn your head and
then they cover they cover your headphones.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because if I do this, like if I put
my fingers over there. So I'm going to approach one
of these furtive looking steep bu Chevy types.
Speaker 3: Yeah, sure, they're all by the way, yeah, canon.
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna quickly like kind of like lift my
glove a little bit and like rub my thumb against
my wrist and then as I talk to him, I'm
gonna like brush this like pheromone coated thumb against his cheek.
Speaker 3: Super gross.
Speaker 1: All right, you do it, and I say, you wouldn't
want anything bad to happen to me, would you? Of
course not?
Speaker 3: Please?
Speaker 1: You must show us how to get to the apartment
safely so that we did not trip any traps, all right, yeah,
and I will compel. So that's going to be to
die total for me. I don't have the.
Speaker 3: Yeah standard role.
Speaker 1: That's ten critical success.
Speaker 3: Whoom.
Speaker 2: So you get double double?
Speaker 3: Yeah? So is that uh double? I'm sorry? You go
up by a step party, That's what I thought. Yeah, so.
Speaker 1: Ad six, I got a two and you.
Speaker 3: Guys are not doing wow four and eight and a
six and we rolled to to toot consistent. So here's
what happens.
Speaker 2: This is gonna get weird. So if it's too weird,
I'm sorry. You brush your your gloved thumb with weird.
Speaker 3: Stink chuice on it on this dude's cheek, and you
ask him to guide you and that he wouldn't want
anything bad to happen to you, And he follows your
thumb and tries to get his mouth onto it. I
let him your gloved thumb.
Speaker 2: You let him and He's like, oh, that's good stuff.
Uh no, of course not, of course not. So there's
an apartment building, absolutely, there is. It's a little bit
tricky to get to, you know, because you're in the labyrinth.
I don't know if you know about that or not.
But it's it's a little bit twisty, a little bit windy.
Speaker 3: There's traps.
Speaker 2: There's oh boys, there are a lot of traps. But uh,
I could guide you, and you know, I'd like to
come with you. I mean, you guys look like you're in,
you know, a little bit of a dangerous place. Let
me help keep you safe. I'm gonna come with and
I'm gonna make sure you're there and you get there safe.
Safety first and second, the top five safety top I.
Speaker 1: My name, which I mean Steven?
Speaker 3: Oh no, what what? No?
Speaker 2: No, my name is that Stephen. Mmm, it's Steve.
Speaker 3: Call me Steve. They call me Steve. Uh and uh,
you know, yeah, let's go. Let's go out. Let me
follow you around. Let's go.
Speaker 2: Come on, I'll guide you guys. Watch out for that
what there you are? You almost got caught. So here,
I'm gonna send you guys the picture now of what
the apartment building looks like as you approach, so you
guys are about halfway there, so you can see that picture.
Speaker 3: In the marriage inviting with all of the barbed wire
reels everywhere. There's a lot of a lot of barbed wire.
So much barbed wire for viewers at home, it looks
like if you had a diorama of a building and
you had to play a spaghetti and you just poured
the spaghetti onto the diorama and all that spaghetti was
barbed wire.
Speaker 2: Also offenses and bars, lots of them.
Speaker 3: Love it again. Yeah, let me come with that.
Speaker 2: I'll help you guys get there. And so what we're
gonna do is he's going to effectively upgrade your die
for inflicting stress by one step for everybody for the
next round until he gets blown up by a landmine.
If you guys don't make it here in one round,
that's what's gonna happen.
Speaker 3: Who wants to roll something? Do you guys feel like
making the same test again? You can, It's totally fine. Yeah,
we'll go up to Eton. Sure. Uh so Nile will
go in and he's going to use his evade skill
and sir, you'll keep starting on the evade. But or
the name of the skills, not the narrative. Basically, what
we're gonna go ahead and do is you know, headlooking
directly down, like having the whole group kind of walk
that way there. You know, someone's looking forward to someone's
looking down and all of that, and we are just
trying to avoid every person everything that looks out of
sorts and any kind of open areas that look like
traps or anything like that. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, I'll take it.
Speaker 3: Let me should That is cute utter.
Speaker 2: Failure, failure, and take double stress.
Speaker 3: That's bad.
Speaker 2: So you're going to take two D six stress and
we are going to put that into your fortune.
Speaker 3: Not too bad.
Speaker 2: You got five stress for fortune. I think you have
resistance to that, don't you. Yeah, so you've got one
point of protection for it. So you take four h
fortune and then you've got to test your test for
fallout and roll fallow it.
Speaker 3: Oh wow, one minor fallout oof. That's three ones in
a row.
Speaker 1: Yeah it is.
Speaker 2: Here's the fallout that you get minor fortune. The Labyrinth curse.
You are compelled to build mazes around things or people
that you view as valuable. At the end of every
session that you don't build at least a little bit
of a maze mark a defour stress to mind. So
let me create an extra fallout on here that includes that.
Speaker 3: Okay, Yeah, I was like, I don't know if there's
gonna that one's gonna exist. Yeah, that one's not on
there unfortunately. Uh and this is fortune.
Speaker 2: And you know, it's really hard to spell labyrinths labor.
Speaker 3: I've misspelled it about three times this session and that's
only been like an hour.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's there, you go, it's in there. Nice, got
the labyrinth curse. I was really hoping somebody would land
that one. So unfortunately, though, you need to take major fallout, right,
major blood.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was.
Speaker 1: He took my fall I was supposed to. Yeah, a
special ability that's the opposite of taking his fallout, which
is I can give my damage to other people.
Speaker 2: Okay, so you've got the labyrinth curse.
Speaker 1: It happens.
Speaker 3: So what happens is you're going through.
Speaker 2: And as you're trying to figure this stuff out, you
trip over, uh something, Well, you try to evade a
landmine and you get caught up in a litle bit
of razor wire and the razor wire cuts into your
leg not terribly, just enough to you know, cut through
the pants, cut through the skin just enough that it
bleeds a little bit and something makes its way into
the blood and it doesn't really take effect right away,
but a little bit later on you're gonna start feeling
that need to build walls around the things that you
feel are valuable and important. You're already halfway there.
Speaker 3: Just settles it brutal. Who's next?
Speaker 2: Who wants to roll some stuff? Let's get some more
bad stuff happen. Oh also your fortune fault or your
fortune stress resets to zero?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, let me take that off. C J.
Speaker 5: Do you want to go, Well, I'll just keep doing
since I got the bones, I'll just keep doing.
Speaker 4: Well, then.
Speaker 3: Roll those bones the bones.
Speaker 5: Stip boards. Why I only get one.
Speaker 2: But you should roll another one because I think you've
got the skill, so you should have two.
Speaker 5: So I did the wrong one, I think.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: H So we're gonna take that success at a cost
that you rolled the first time. So with the six,
it was the six success at a cost. Oh, I
just can hit the button to roll stress. Nice, I
forgot about that. And it's going to roll against your
It's gonna be blood right, yes, blood.
Speaker 3: Two?
Speaker 5: So I get fun because I have one blood protection
all right, and.
Speaker 2: Then you can roll against fallout for that. So if
you get a one, what are.
Speaker 3: The chances of that?
Speaker 2: Like the D eight D twelve twelve twelve. So on
your character sheet you should have a thing that says, uh,
follow out.
Speaker 3: Oh for fallo. Okay, yeah, you're good.
Speaker 5: Yes, okay, we get to roll damage.
Speaker 2: Yes, you get to roll damage against.
Speaker 3: So it should be what a six, so it bumps
up to an eighth? Okay, eight? You do it.
Speaker 2: You get there, so you successfully navigate to the apartment building,
and then the Steve Boucemi guy that's with you, uh says,
this is it. You're here, so uh be careful going in. Uh,
Carlo should be in there. There's a small community of
newcomers in there.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 3: They're all working together on trying to protect their stuff.
Speaker 2: Generally, you know, it's people that have brought something with
them that are in there rather than people that are
trying to protect the actual community. So they're kind of weirdos.
You know, good luck, be careful and.
Speaker 3: Uhby I can help keep you safe.
Speaker 2: So you guys have a good one and be careful. Okay,
don't get hurt.
Speaker 3: I feel bad.
Speaker 2: Also if you feel like helping build trying to bring them.
Speaker 3: In atour all right, good luck, guys, goes still luck.
He's not coming with us in there. Hell no, I'm
not going in there? Are you kidding me? Look?
Speaker 2: I gotta protect the things that I value. And one
of the things I value are these sweet legs. And
he lifts his pant leg up a little bit and
his calves are so jacked. He's like, these are sweet legs.
Speaker 3: Gotta keep him safe.
Speaker 5: A miss legg day.
Speaker 3: He does, He does two little calf raises and you're like, damn,
And then he wants Roth has like a connection with him. Well,
he gets me.
Speaker 5: You understands what's up. He knows what's important.
Speaker 3: These games.
Speaker 2: These legs are meant for walking long distances uphill. So
you approach this building. It's a giant apartment block that
is covered in razor wire and bars and all sorts
of different things built up to it and onto it.
Speaker 3: There's like sandbags and stuff like that. You guys can
head it. Try to track down the elusive Carlos.
Speaker 1: Yes, I want nothing more than to find Carlos.
Speaker 3: You had it.
Speaker 2: You navigate through and there's some additional furtive people in
there that are banging some stuff together, and they see
you as you pass by, and you know, duck behind
stuff and start building more walls around them, built out
of whatever is at hand. You know, it's made out
of garbage and like chunk of plaster they're pulling off
and like they're digging. They're digging, like rebar out of
stuff and building with it, trying to secure things. And
you see, you know, a couple of these dudes walk
past each other and they're like, oh, hey, hey, buddy,
and then the other guy gives him a like you
go to give them a thumb up, but he's missing
a thumb because he blew it off.
Speaker 3: And they're you know, they're building stuff.
Speaker 2: And you find your way through and you eventually make
your way after asking some people to find Carlos. Let
me pop out Carlos for you guys. View character artwork.
Speaker 1: Here he is.
Speaker 2: You find him inside the apartment building and he's wearing
those light blue robes that designate him as a part
of the Vermician.
Speaker 3: Hegemony.
Speaker 1: We're gonna call it.
Speaker 3: He was a scribe.
Speaker 2: You can tell immediately, not not you guys, but Roth.
You immediately know like, oh yeah, he's wearing the rows.
Speaker 3: Of a scrimp.
Speaker 2: He's there and he's like, have they sent you to
kill me? I I'm only trying to protect the sonic oscillator.
Speaker 5: Nobody has to die today.
Speaker 4: We know you're doing your best to protect it, but
it needs to go back to wear flows that.
Speaker 2: No, it's it's not safe there. It's safe here.
Speaker 3: It is safe with keeping it safe. It has to
be safe. It is so important.
Speaker 2: This device is the only thing that's going to keep
those Christmas from falling. And if something were to happen
to this device, everyone's lives would be at risk. I
I can't think of anywhere safer than here, so I
brought it here to protect it.
Speaker 4: Now. I want you to realize, just tell Weezy, it
was for all three of us to get here. That
doesn't seem very safe to me.
Speaker 3: Not yet, not yet.
Speaker 2: I've only started building my defenses recently.
Speaker 3: It's I've got to protect it. Maybe you can help.
Speaker 2: If you can help, Maybe maybe if you stay here
and we build up, we can we can defend it
together and make sure that that no one else has
to die. One of those crystals fell and it killed
my best friend. He was just jogging, he was happy,
he was jogging, fell right on him, left him in twain.
You ever see a man split in half, perfectly down
the middle. It's disgusting, kieled apart like a god damp banana.
Speaker 4: I'm sorry I had to see that. But the only
way we're going to prevent more of that happening is
if that gets back to where.
Speaker 3: It needs to be. I can't protect it there.
Speaker 2: The crystals will fall, and when they fall, if they
hit the sonic oscillator, all of the crystals will fall.
Speaker 4: If you know how to protect it, then how about
you come back and you figure out how to protect
it back up there. You know how to do it
so well, you bring the knowledge you learn down here
and bring it back up there.
Speaker 5: How about that?
Speaker 2: Huh that doesn't sound bad honestly the way you put it.
Speaker 3: Oh, will will you help protect it?
Speaker 2: I feel like if we build a strong enough fortification
around it, we can protect it so that it won't
get damaged, and then all of the crystals will stay
up there and they won't fall, and we'll be able
to travel again safely. Everyone can be safe.
Speaker 4: There you go, there's the mind of the describe. You
got the robes, you got the mind for it. How
about we take that thing back up there?
Speaker 2: I oh, you know what now that I'm thinking about it,
But they might try to kill me if I go back.
I kind of stole this, I guess in a way,
like I don't know if they'll understand that this is
for everybody's good.
Speaker 3: You know, I took it.
Speaker 2: I took it to protect it, not to steal it.
You know, I'm trying to help. Hey, I hear I
hear it.
Speaker 4: Hey loo, look see I got this nice big shield here.
See that on my back there? You just that, Well, well,
well we talked them aut right, you just get behind there.
We'll tell them what happened that you were just trying
to deck to everyone. I'm sure they'll understand.
Speaker 3: I might be.
Speaker 2: Persuaded, do this, get it? Trying to compel this guy,
I'm gonna give you. I give you a bonus die.
We're gonna give you a bonus die because it makes
perfect sense.
Speaker 3: Yeah, h Is this the I'm like, is this the
point where both Roth and niall look over to Kindred
and He's like, come compel in this guy's bonnet. Make
it happy. I wanted to die. You do it good
to kill? Okay, Okay, I wanted to do all the
legwork of talking to this person. Now we'll just fight him. No,
I'm joking.
Speaker 1: I don't know, are you No? I mean, if he
attacks me, I'm but but no, I oh, I don't
think it's my compel role to make this one.
Speaker 3: I'll say, I'm trying.
Speaker 5: I'm trying. Okay, there we go. I had two rollers
up though I didn't want to do it.
Speaker 2: Success nice, Okay, So, uh, try to roll that D four.
Well you're supposed to roll two dice, but you know,
you know what, roll another one just in case you
get a tenor there, just in case compel No, alright,
so yeah, so hit him with a D four and
we'll see how you do.
Speaker 3: A three.
Speaker 2: So you're working on convincing him. He's like, oh, you
know that sounds I I don't feel like getting there.
I mean like, I can get there. I can get there, obviously,
I just I'm concerned that once I get there that
they're gonna they're gonna they're gonna punish me because I
stole I guess technically from them.
Speaker 1: And you.
Speaker 3: You know how the nights are it's very serious.
Speaker 2: I if you can ensure my safety, then I will
I will go, but I feel like I need to
be convinced that you're gonna keep me safe.
Speaker 1: Kendrick, at least step up. Okay. He leans down very close.
I think it's h plain marble face, like right next
to his ear.
Speaker 3: He says.
Speaker 1: The what was the name of the of the guy
that we talked to, like his title doctor Boreal? No, no,
no at the train station. The wind, Yes, steady on
the wind and I are of the same people. He
has tasked Wroth here with ensuring my protection, and so
what I will offer him is a ritual that will
perform in front the study of the wind, in which,
if you are brought to harm, I will perish and
he will face the wrath of the off ear.
Speaker 3: It's hell of a thing to say. Sure is okay,
go for it. Roll. Let's see how that goes.
Speaker 1: That helps, I'm lying, go for it?
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh double wow. This is crazy.
Speaker 2: You guys are rolling so well, so yeah, man, go
ahead and roll.
Speaker 4: There is.
Speaker 2: It's like, okay, you can go back. Yeah, yeah, I
think you know what. Yeah, let's go, let's go. You
gotta be careful though, because there's a lot, there's a
lot of traps. But yeah, let's go, let's get out
of here.
Speaker 3: This place is.
Speaker 2: This place is pretty weird. Yeah, they keep talking the
minotaur coming back, and like, honestly, like that kind of
freaks me out. I've heard rumors that this thing is massive,
absolutely massive. If it comes through, it's gonna terri I
don't want to be here if that happens, it's horrifying.
Speaker 5: All the more reason to get that thing out of here.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I think you're right. I think you're right. Let's go.
You know how to get back, say move again, Okay,
let's go, Joe.
Speaker 2: You guys progress back through labyrinth, through the apartment building,
around out, through all the crazy razor wire, get back.
You're going back through Boreoal's office and you get to him.
Speaker 3: He's there. He's like, oh, I see that you found
him excellent, excellent, excellence.
Speaker 2: How are you all feeling hmm, you seem to have
a little cut.
Speaker 3: Are you hurt?
Speaker 2: Do you need medical attention?
Speaker 3: I would say I do anything to help out. And
as you know he's been talking, he's been kind of
starting to pull some of the supplies out of his bag.
And a few times on the walk back has just
kind of stuffed it into like a little like taking
a piece of bread and just like stuffed it into
one of the crev crevasses like and starting to just
like it's like the initial phases where I feel like,
like this Labyrinth curse, you're more like a squirrel at
the beginning where you just kind of like shake like
a single thing and you're like, I'm gonna hide this
here or like like put this off to the side,
but yeah, grabbing uh maybe another piece of supplies there
and kind of like holding on to it. It's like, yeah,
it'd be nice to deal with this before uh I,
you know, have to come back in order to actually
continue surviving.
Speaker 2: Mm hm, very good.
Speaker 3: Nothing to see here. So he's got the ability to.
Speaker 2: Handle blood trauma blood stress to reduce you can reduce
blood stress, That's what I'm trying to say.
Speaker 3: But uh, oh, do you have I don't think you
have it. You've got you do have bloodtress. You gotta
watch it. So that's blood stress. But to be honest,
like blood stress is somewhat part of the the minor
beat I'm going for of hitting major blood follow or
that thing. Is there anything to do about the fallout
curse or is that a different that is unfortunately not
something that he can deal with, so I guess he
wouldn't really be capable of solving that considering how bad
he's dealing with it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, well yeah, you have to deal with somebody
that can that can help with with fortune recovery.
Speaker 3: So he's only able to deal with blood stuff. Yeah, okay,
a bit of a nick on me.
Speaker 5: If you want to patch that up?
Speaker 3: See yes, yes, yes, yes, yes we can do that
single pip.
Speaker 1: If you have to. If we get back to Grip Station,
the the minds like the Crystal Cave, the Singing Crystalline Cave,
it can do fortune healing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you'd have to give up your resource, your
sphare capacitors and wires in exchange to him in order
to roll to recover that. So it might not be
worth doing right now for just one okay, but forgot
but uh so, anybody with men can make a test
to try to do it. But there's a possibility of
you hurting yourself if you're reporting.
Speaker 1: That's fair, well, very good will. Did you want me
to I have men? If you guys want to trust
Kindred to heal you in this medical office.
Speaker 3: Are they like, I'm good, that's one of those like yeah,
it's one more of the curse and then two like
don't want to kick it off and just like he'll
he'll heal. And it's like, well, like what what actually
like how much damage can one take before it actually
is like you fine and have to use resources for it.
Speaker 2: It's you know, the more stress you have, the more
likely you are to land fallout.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you just get like two three stress and hit
followed anyway, which.
Speaker 1: Has been so far?
Speaker 3: Yes, I find the doctor on savor. I'm right here.
I can hear everything you're saying.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, this is something you've already know about yourself.
Speaker 3: I do, yes, Yes, m mmm, good day, it's day
very good. Well, good luck, good luck.
Speaker 2: Hopefully the way that you came in will still get
you out. U. So we're gonna have you guys go
through and we're gonna delve our way back out of here.
Speaker 1: It out.
Speaker 2: This labyrinth is not a very safe place. So uh,
we got a low threshold for you guys to get out.
Threshold is only going to be four who wants to
roll wet to try to make your way out through
this landmine filled corridor. Now, failure in here is most
likely gonna land blood stress. Considering the landmine.
Speaker 5: I got blood protection, so I don't mind doing some
to Delvin, all.
Speaker 3: Right, that definitely is. I just imagine your character is
so much just like running up Strom in front of
everything else, taking the heads.
Speaker 4: Still nice little light time a cook run.
Speaker 1: The other thing I'll say is I have the ability
to offload one time incoming blood fortune onto one.
Speaker 3: Of you or an NPC Carlos. You could, you could
blow them up.
Speaker 1: It's it's yep, it's possible. So even if I fail, well,
I have a net bonus of Carlos being dead.
Speaker 3: So like that, you know, all right, here we go.
Speaker 2: Oh ten, nice critical success. So go ahead and roll
that die and move it up a step. So it
should be are you using You should have declared whether
you're using your trailblazer ahead of time, But I'm assuming
you want I usually do you do, So I'm gonna
assume that you have. So we're at what a six?
So an eight sword rolling a ten D ten?
Speaker 3: You need ever more to make it in one go? Four?
Speaker 2: Ooh so close, so close, so anybody else that succeeds
in any amount will put you guys through.
Speaker 1: You take no fallout. So who wants to make a test.
I'll make a test and it's probably just gonna is
this dangerous?
Speaker 3: Risky?
Speaker 1: Like what's the.
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 3: It is not?
Speaker 1: But yet you know what?
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're gonna make it risky. It should have been
risky before. Okay, but you've rolled, you've rolled two dice
and you still got the critical success. So we're gonna
we're gonna what did you get on your now? You
know what, it's too late to go back. It's risky
now because you remind me that's a mechanic.
Speaker 1: No worries. So I am gonna do with delve okay,
and it's gonna be risky. Worn we'll see what happens.
Probably nothing good?
Speaker 2: Hap been? What?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 2: And uh so if you have zero dice, basically it says, uh,
you need to roll ten to succeed with a car
otherwise you.
Speaker 1: Feel oh damn.
Speaker 2: Okay, so you're gonna take blood blood damage coming here.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna put that onto Carlos, No boy, all right?
Speaker 1: Uh like that you roll that? Uh, that's stress, and
then I'll tell you how bad the Carlos to stay.
Speaker 3: All the way. Okay, So we're washing.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say this because I think it's it's telling
of my character, and you tell me if this is
not how it plays out. But we're walking and I
see a landmine and I thing like, I'm trying to
save him from a trap and push him onto it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's like what and he's like the oscillator and
he drops it and then he falls at his chest
on the land and he's like, what do I do?
Speaker 4: What do I do?
Speaker 1: What do I do?
Speaker 3: What do I do?
Speaker 1: What do I do?
Speaker 2: And then it blows up and there's Carlos junks everywhere.
Uh the sonic oscillator though, Oh the sonic oscillator is U.
I did not generate rules for it yet. Let me
take a quick peek at.
Speaker 3: Some tags and see.
Speaker 1: Is it fragile?
Speaker 2: That's oh man, I you know what, Give me a
roll a D ten for me and uh one through
three it's fragile. Okay, it's not fragile. Okay, so you
get it. It doesn't break. It hits and it goes
like blink bink bink, and then it lands in teeters
and is safe and not broken. Carlos has exploded. He's
gone well from Yeah, it's it's like gruesome. You guys
are all covered in Carlos chunks, shilled up and and
I'm guessing your shields got a little viewport through it,
so you're clean except for like around your eyes.
Speaker 3: It's just like splashed through. Yeah, you look like, Oh man,
I can't think of who I'm thinking of from uh,
Johnny Newmonic. But yeah, but right, all right, so.
Speaker 1: Yeah I still haven't made it through. I'll pick up
the sonic osculator. You do, mhm, yeah that's better.
Speaker 3: Ah.
Speaker 1: Sorry, he was unreliable and mentally unwell. Just figured it's
for the best, a bit.
Speaker 3: Of an extreme approach, though you know, we could have
he wasn't beyond rehabilitation. That's not something I'm interested in doing.
Speaker 4: But I get you were probably lying about helping him out.
But like, like he was saying that, I don't see
any reason for us to go around blowing people up.
Speaker 5: They don't need blowing up.
Speaker 3: I didn't do it on purpose.
Speaker 5: Okay, all right, you're making.
Speaker 3: It sound like you did so.
Speaker 1: Well, if you're going to be a spoil sport about it, yeah, sorry,
but yeah, I know. He picks it up and he
he his rubs were white and now they're just like
covered in blood and he uh he puts it in
his pocket.
Speaker 3: Yep, you tuck it in. Yeah, to get through this. Wow.
Oh so are we still in the labyrinth at this point?
I guess so.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: That was we need, we need any kind of success,
we'll do it all right.
Speaker 3: So I am going to try to build my own
labyrinth out of the labyrinth, is my idea. Yeah, Like
like like when you when you start to build through, right,
you just kind of like it'll just kind of coat
it or you know, create the type of passageway out
and you just work your way backwards through the maze
instead of going through another one. I have no idea
what uh whatever skill that would be minde that might
be a mend yeah, build but which I don't have
either of those.
Speaker 1: But you do have the Warren domain. So you're rollready
rolling with two.
Speaker 2: Die Yeah, but it's gonna be You're gonna roll with
two dice. It's gonna be so you're gonna lose the
higher diet. Oh we are in war Okay, wait, do
I have warrings?
Speaker 3: Okay? Perfect? Cool? Then yes, I'll totally do that. Then okay,
I just like not wanting to take the ooh you
got it. Yeah, success regular roles I had like twenty
minutes ago, and I there was some dice hesitation on
my side. I'll be honest.
Speaker 2: I don't blame you. I don't blame you. It was
a hot handed trash. So you managed to pull it off.
So you start building. You're pulling parts down to construct
another route, and it works. It doesn't quite make sense,
but it works. You're pulling down shelving in some of
these cardboard boxes. They're filled with old files and you
push them around and you find yourself pushing through into
the same crystal coral maze between here.
Speaker 3: And Grift Station.
Speaker 2: So now that we're back into the coral crystalline coral,
this has resistance of twelve for you guys, get for
you guys to get through. There's a possibility that you
can build a connection between the labyrinth and Gripstation. So
in order to do that, you guys are going to
have to find a way to permanently create a path
through there. I'll let you guys decide if you want
to try to do that. That's going to have an
additional challenge to it.
Speaker 1: But you know what, I would like to try to
do that, and okay, I will try and recreate the
sonic oscillator with my be magic that technology.
Speaker 3: Don't know what that means, but okay, interesting.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So I guys, we're kind of walking back through.
You guys are leading the way. You see me fucking
around with this, and then you see me occasionally like
pull out through like my eyehole, like little bits of
wax that look like pieces of the machine.
Speaker 2: Oh, they come out of your eye.
Speaker 1: Well, it's like like if you're looking closely enough, it's
like little b hands come out from like behind and
like hand them to me.
Speaker 3: That is worse. Yeah, yeah, so I guess I would
like to roll mend. Okay, I like it, So go
ahead and do a mend.
Speaker 2: We're gonna add though some opposition in here.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 2: As you make your way through the crystalline coral, you
see some movement and some people start showing up in there.
These are are like brigands that are in this area
looking to waylay people. So as you're trying to mend
and build, you're being accosted.
Speaker 3: So you guys get to go ahead and make your tests,
and after the three of you have made a test
or decided to pass, you don't have to make a
test if you don't want to, then they're going to act,
and you guys will have to make an evade test
against the one.
Speaker 2: That is attacking the one who's being attacked of you.
We'll have to make in a vade test. You can
also try to take out these guys. They have their
own resistance track, so you can make.
Speaker 3: Your men test. Okay, is it standard risky standard currently
for what you're trying to do?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 2: No, straight failure yep, so yep. In here, the stress
for this place is a D four and it's this
is going against Oh, I mean, given the weird crap
that you're doing, I don't know if it's gonna be
see here, Yeah, I feel like echo again?
Speaker 3: Do you like echo okay? To echo stress? Okay?
Speaker 2: And so I think you might be able to hit
that take stress button in the chat log. I think
it might apply it.
Speaker 3: Oh that's cool. I love how this, like how Foundary
is set up to have like these like you roll
it and then you just click the follow up button.
It's it's really really helpful when you're playing games like
like Pathfinder and stuff like that, where like you can
just hit the buttons instead of having to try to
like track all this other shit.
Speaker 2: Yeah, will fall out nice, good, okay, But you fail
to make any progress. You're you're pulling wax out of
your eye and trying to build stuff from it, and
it's it's not getting anywhere, it won't adhere to the
crystalline structure that you're trying to pass through.
Speaker 3: Who else wants to try? So quick question to the team,
are we feeling an evade or are we okay with
a fight? I'm okay, getting well the evade The evade
is is them attacking you. I don't roll dice, so
it's you trying to not get hit by these guys.
They are attacking you.
Speaker 2: So that's that's going to be in addition to whatever
you're trying to do unless you decide to Unless you
decide to take them out before my turn comes up.
Speaker 3: Cool, That's where I'm at. So Nile, seeing these brigands approaching,
is going to run up a hill and kind of
set himself up and use his repeater side arm to
shoot them from a range. Nice okay.
Speaker 2: So you're moving around in this crystalline labyrinth and you
find a spot where you can take a shot. You
line up and you're you're certain maybe that you're actually
shooting at them and not some sort of reflection or
through crystalline refraction, so it can make your kill test
kill and then Warren or Haven your choice. Uh, if
you have either of those, you you didn't ye, yeah,
and uh this is going to be against fortune because
there's a chance that you're hitting unluckily into a reflection
or something.
Speaker 3: So get stress. It'll be fortune. Stress sounds good. I
have killing Haven. And then also the repeater side arm
has brutal, which allows me to roll another die. Is
that the die when I'm doing the dam So I'll
take you got it? It's nice?
Speaker 2: Okay, So go ahead and roll your stress on there.
You roll twice, and you take them better because you
have brutal.
Speaker 3: All right, So two D six yeah, oh that was
one D sx plus two. That's but it was a five. Yeah,
so you have a five and a four because you
rolled one before, so you did five. Yes, yeah, don't
take the other one. That's fine, that's that's fine. They
have a resist. Oh they got protection.
Speaker 2: Uh, so you do hit, you shoot, and you hit
this guy and it's it's like this this scruffy looking dude.
He's got like this big wild beard and his hair
is all unkempt, and he's got like a gun and
he's missing a bunch of teeth and the teeth that
he does have are all like rotten and ship. He's
like a right, I take all of your money and
you shoot him.
Speaker 3: He's like alf fuck fuck fack ce J. Would you
like to make an action?
Speaker 4: Could I like use the in door skilled to like
try to like block any incoming attacks to gonna make
to like lower whatever their effectiveness.
Speaker 3: Yes, I will let you. I will let you make
that and then uh that'll be my turn. Is you
doing that? So go ahead and making door? Okay?
Speaker 4: It has the door then because I have this shield,
it has the block skill. Oh that's the plus one
blood protection okay, okay, okay, So.
Speaker 5: This is what's the difficulty?
Speaker 2: Uh nothing right now, and this would be against blood.
Speaker 3: So if you take stress, it's blood stress okay? Nice? Yeah,
no damage.
Speaker 2: So he shoots and you managed to deflect it, and
he's like damn and he starts like repacking his pistol.
You can go again if you want CJ, and then
it's back up to everybody else.
Speaker 5: Oh, I thought I was trying to do it as
like a like for everybody.
Speaker 2: That's why I was that's yeah, so you you, that's
basically my turn him attacking you. You endured it, and
then this is your action. You can either attack this dude,
or you can still try to progress through the maze.
Speaker 5: I think I still want to help delve, Like, okay, help, let's.
Speaker 3: Go for waking around through and.
Speaker 2: Nice critical success. There you go, and then you're upgraded twice,
so you're well.
Speaker 3: A D ten.
Speaker 1: Dude, you're killing me killing its.
Speaker 3: Five?
Speaker 2: Okay, good, good chunk of the way there. So now
we're back to the top. So all of you guys
have the opportunity to do something.
Speaker 3: Okay, what can I do? I guess I'll launch being
setting him in the kitchen.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So at this point in time, you disentangled and
like and like started to like move past him. I'm
assuming you're not like right beside the guy. Are you
the Roth he shot?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 1: He shot?
Speaker 3: Okay, cool shot it Roth and Roth Roth deflected.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because I have the spread things, so I don't
want to hit you with bees, but I will hit
at range with bees, which is a kill skill.
Speaker 3: Cool, uh, regular role success. There you go. So you're
getting a D four and I just want to double
check our the bees brutal. The bees are spread and ranged. Okay,
so two that's that's exactly enough.
Speaker 2: You you kill him with the bees. So you launch
the bees and they just where do they come out of?
Speaker 1: They come like pouring out of my eyes. There's probably
about one hundred of them.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, you know, just small smarm bees that
come out of your eyes.
Speaker 2: They swarm out all over this dude, and he starts
to panic and they start stinging them, and he's screaming
and he's shooting, trying to shoot the bees, and that
doesn't really work very well when you have to like
pack and patch and all that stuff for your your
fucking stickloading in your pistol. But he's trying to do
it and they just sting him to death, and he
starts to swell up, and then you know, he falls
down and he's he was wearing glasses and they fall off,
and then out of nowhere, another one of these brigands
comes up.
Speaker 1: I was like his glasses.
Speaker 3: You can't see without his glasses, and then the bees
sting the other buddy to death and you've killed him.
Speaker 1: Yeah, uh, what a waste.
Speaker 3: I just come back.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they bring the glasses and like they're starting to
eat the glasses to break it down.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And so it takes a while for the beast
to actually crawl back inside my eye holes, not my
eye holes, the masks eye holes. Yeah, they're not coming
out of my eyes. I don't have b vision mm hmm.
But yeah. So yeah, we're making good progress. But do
we want to make a connection between these two places?
Is this worthwhile? It may ingratiate the the VERMESSI into
us even further.
Speaker 5: I'm definitely not against making it easier to get around anything.
Speaker 4: Any chance you can take to make travel easy in
these parts is sounds good to me.
Speaker 1: I would be much better at working at this technology
in group station, where i'd have access to resources, but
I can try my best here as well. You you
wouldn't know this technology as well. Perhaps we could work together.
Speaker 5: Sounds good to me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so, yeah, I guess I'll attempt another mend.
Speaker 2: Okay, get an extra die if you're getting help.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So.
Speaker 3: That's a standard. It's a mend.
Speaker 1: And I'm just gonna say technology to get myself the
extra die because I I'll tell you that makes sense.
Speaker 2: Oh you got one? I was like six, but yeah nine?
Speaker 3: Nice? You make it?
Speaker 2: So, uh, since you're getting this help, we're going to
go up a die tune.
Speaker 3: What you got? You got D six? I think yes?
Speaker 1: Yeah, gofully or if they started typing, so I have
to fix that the.
Speaker 2: I nice, all right, So we're going to bring that
down and we are going to establish a connection.
Speaker 3: Well, oh that was enough. That was enough for the connection.
But you guys still have to make it out of there.
Speaker 2: You guys have two more stress to inflict on this
to get all the way through back to Grip station.
But once you get there, you will have built a
pathway literally all right between these two.
Speaker 3: Well, if that's the case, so Nile is going to
go ahead and look at the path of where the
brigands came from, and he's going to use his kind
of hunt tracking type skills in order to make the
way back out just following someone else's path. Yeah, go forth.
Speaker 1: What is this again?
Speaker 3: This is a it's a Warren, right, this is Warren or.
Speaker 1: Which I think you have both domains, So pick your favorite.
Speaker 2: A success alright there you go, go ahead and roll
for stress on there. You only need at least two.
Speaker 3: Is this just a defour.
Speaker 2: Four unless you got something an item disappropriate and equipment that's.
Speaker 1: Appropriate, anything that's us hunt beside it?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Oh yeah, nuts, what's a one? All right? Back
to you?
Speaker 5: A stress roll?
Speaker 3: Oh that was right, So you've got you've got one
to go any level of scessivate, we'll get you wants
to make the final test, go for it. Are no trails,
no trail, no trail lays, no chill blaze. I just
need to get on there we go. Is that your
first at a cost? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, she's been straight failure or like chrit
success in the whole the whole game.
Speaker 2: All right, So this is gonna be against supplies based
off of you trying to help build this path for
stress to supplies. I think if you have a little
heart button on there, I think it applies to you
and then you can roll for fallout.
Speaker 5: Okay, oh boy, okay, how do I oh wait, no wait, whoops?
Speaker 1: Some have you?
Speaker 4: How do I?
Speaker 5: How do I roll for stress? Stress Okay, the ro
ah there, it is.
Speaker 2: No fallout, all right, good good. So you succeed, you
end up finding your way back. You've lost some of
your supplies to this construction effort, and it turns out
later you'll find that while you were fighting that brigand
there's another one then managed to rob you a little bit,
so your supplies kind of went down. You guys red
turned back to Grip station. You make your way out
of the crystalline coral. There's markers to get to your
wax tunnel that you guys have constructed. You guys can
get to and from without having to try anymore. It's great,
great for you guys, unless that minataurrea comes through.
Speaker 3: I'll find this place really easy. That's all part of
the player.
Speaker 2: Part of the glory of being a Vermician Knight is
etching these routes into your armor. Take some time you
carve that in to show that you have made a
stable pathway between these two locations.
Speaker 3: It's a good day for you. Did good here men,
I reckon.
Speaker 2: So we're gonna go back through real quick before we
end tonight, and we're gonna check out everybody's beats and
see if we hit any of them. Nile, we were
looking for major blood fallout, no or retrieving a dangerous
D ten resource.
Speaker 1: Nope, Oh okay. I was like, I don't know what
the song casts.
Speaker 2: We'll see what happens at the beginning of the next one.
See if you guys when you meet up with the stage,
see if you guys get some kind of resource from uh,
look at it, Kindred, we got course of major NPC
to do something that they don't want to do. I this,
It says major n PC important, important, important NPC. He
was important.
Speaker 3: Oh, he was important because without if you guys didn't
interact with him, you wouldn't have been able to progress
this thing. So yes, I would say, he is a
little you know, like I was starting to grow a
little bit of an affection towards him.
Speaker 2: But well, you know what your heart, your heart is
telling me the truth. Well, damn, so we'll get you one.
That's a minor, right, that's a major. Yeah, Well that
was a little too easy, but that's fine. I already said, yes,
so you get a major, go ahead and look through
those in your leisure. We're gonna update it at the
beginning of the next session with what major you picked out,
take minor fortune fallout Nope, no okay, and then roth
have curiosity lead you into danger? What do you think
sure was curiosity a factor?
Speaker 3: No more than usual?
Speaker 2: Okay, I don't know if curiosity was really a factor.
Communicate with the heart.
Speaker 3: Yet not yet.
Speaker 2: Okay, So we're gonna end there. Thank you guys for playing.
You guys, have a wonderful night, and we'll catch up
again next time. And we're gonna see what happens with
your return to the Vermician station with the sonic oscillator
but no Carlos. See what kind of rewards you guys
get and how they feel about it here, and then
we'll determine where you're off to next.
Speaker 3: Thank you guys for playing. Have a wonderful night. I'll
get you next.
Speaker 1: Time, totally.
Speaker 3: Oh that's me. I gotta end a recording. Yes, wait
for it, Wait for it.
