S2E33 - Fight at Clive · No Latency

0:02
Last time on no latency. Come back to the city.
0:06
Something satisfying about walking through those gates.
0:08
And quit anytime I want. Someone going to call a car?
0:10
Or synth coke addiction. All right, I guess it's me.
0:14
Let me look, old soldier. Ain't mine.
0:15
It is mine. Remy, how was space for?
0:18
You. I was high and out of space and
0:20
I just became everything. Yeah, I'd say that it's an
0:23
accurate assessment. Goals and to do.
0:26
'S. We do have A to do list, yes.
0:28
I mean, it's back. There's your coat for Iona.
0:31
I got these little lip things that.
0:32
We should probably get you to a doctor now.
0:34
You've expended a lot of energy. Really.
0:36
Stick it into his bus. Doc real quick for just take
0:38
your side for a. Moment I got it.
0:40
Who's that restaurant? It was Clive.
0:42
I think he's getting robbed. Maybe he just got some guns.
0:44
For us, but Clive also never calls me.
0:46
We do need guns, right? Well, we should go help.
1:00
Driving the clives. Driving the clives.
1:02
Why are we going to Clives? Because he's.
1:05
Were you not paying attention? Yes, he's quote UN quote got
1:09
guns for us. Oh, that's right.
1:11
That's right. He got guns for them.
1:13
That sounds nice. It's nice.
1:15
Do they? No, Jeb.
1:17
What guns and going to people that probably have guns to shoot
1:21
us? Why does he have people there to
1:23
kill us? It's probably not his doing.
1:27
Well then why are we going? To attack.
1:30
Wait. It might not be for us.
1:31
To rescue him. Yeah.
1:33
We have to protect the better, be rescuing him and then he's
1:36
going to give us the guns. All right, That makes a lot of
1:38
sense. That's fine, Jeb.
1:42
I would let him have it. Jeb, this is more of like a
1:44
thing of to see whether or not who's the best shooter between
1:47
you and I. So.
1:49
Competition will. We'll see.
1:52
They do. It takes offense to that.
1:54
I do take offense to that. You should, because you're more
1:56
male than you are shooter. So OK.
2:00
How dare you look? It's not bad, you know.
2:03
We all, we all are. We're all here to cover each
2:05
other's asses, you know. We all have our strengths and
2:08
our weaknesses. Mine just happens to be shooting
2:11
things and yours just happens to be having a sweet ass lag with a
2:16
cold sword. And other I'm a better shot than
2:20
Phoebe. Sorry, Phoebe.
2:21
Well. I.
2:22
Mean you didn't. Need to throw.
2:23
Doc under the bus, but I mean alright.
2:26
Well, well, while you're at it, whether the rest of us could add
2:29
Jeb. Yes, well.
2:30
Obviously the doc is good at doc stuff and you're good at
2:34
business stuff. Iona and Retro, you're good at,
2:37
like, you know, tech stuff. That is, I thought you were
2:40
going to get more into depth with that, but.
2:42
Oh, well, I mean, I mean, I mean if you want, if you want to talk
2:45
more holistically, I'd say, I don't know, you're a very good.
2:52
Impasse. You know, you can really see
2:54
what people are feeling and ignore it completely.
3:01
That's a great job. I yeah.
3:03
You know what? I can't say you're wrong.
3:06
That's weirdly accurate. I'm sorry, Iona.
3:10
And. That's at all.
3:11
We're here. You be there, you're much
3:18
getting off of the mouth. But before we get that, do we
3:21
want to like plan? It can be dangerous I.
3:25
I don't really think we need one.
3:27
I think we've handled situations similar to this before.
3:31
We just go in and we shoot them and we protect Clive Breach.
3:34
And clear. Breach and clear.
3:36
Breach and motherfucking clear. Do you want to leave the
3:40
vehicle? Can we exit the vehicle or park
3:46
it? Basically what I'm saying do we
3:50
want to get out? I mean do we want to observe
3:53
from inside the the car? Well, I think it's probably
3:57
worth having Sloan take a look at it.
4:00
But she's gone. I seem to go pick her up.
4:03
Where the hell is she? It's on the roof of the bar.
4:06
You should have gone and said hello.
4:07
Well, I said hello, but she didn't seem like she wanted to
4:10
come it. Is, do you think?
4:11
That I've been neglecting her. Do you think that's what it is?
4:14
You went to space without her, and I can.
4:17
Understand, if I was left, if if I had the opportunity to go to
4:20
space and my best friend went to space and I didn't get to go
4:23
along, I'd be pretty upset too. I should have got.
4:25
I should have brought back something for her.
4:26
A little souvenir of sorts. Shucks.
4:30
Well, anyway, we saving our friend or what?
4:32
I'm fine with getting out and taking a look around, so OK.
4:37
I could drive around the block if it makes y'all feel better.
4:40
Why don't you park in one of those parking spaces?
4:42
Oh, sure, Yeah. Hold on.
4:44
Just going to back into this one, you know, I always feel
4:46
better back and in the spots. You are a back end kind of guy.
4:50
You know, whenever I back into a spot, I always think to myself I
4:55
am a better driver than everyone else here.
4:57
You say it out loud when you do it, too.
4:59
That's your. Strength Dad.
5:01
You're the driving one I've. Got one of them fancy backup
5:04
cameras. Or a beep jab.
5:06
Careful, there's a there's a vending machine there.
5:09
Jab. Jab roller driving.
5:10
Check. Jab, jab, roller driving?
5:12
Check. Oh, Jeb.
5:14
Let's see if you. If your.
5:16
Money is where. Before you roll, which parking
5:19
space did you go for? The.
5:20
Space 1-2 or. Three very important.
5:22
Number one. Oh. 24.
5:26
That's fine. I get.
5:27
I like to get real close to it. Although if someone did want
5:30
something from that vending machine, they are shit add a
5:32
lot. So I'm like 2 centimeters away
5:35
from it. The The back of Vanna White pops
5:39
open with the little release that you've got on near the
5:42
steering wheel, and it boots the vending machine just right
5:46
because you rolled a 24 and out drops a fresh bag of kibble.
5:51
Oh. What flavor?
5:53
Dog food. You know.
5:56
What like? Sloans.
5:57
Dog food for humans in a fashionable way.
6:00
Right, But what a flavor. Is the dog food?
6:03
Human kibble? Chicken.
6:04
Sloan loves chicken. Chicken and gravy.
6:08
Chicken and gravy? Yeah, good Lord.
6:11
You gotta add water to make the gravy.
6:13
Well, sure. I like to like, add the water
6:15
with my salava, you know, just gonna pop it in there and just
6:18
swoosh around for a bit and then the.
6:20
Jab. Don't eat it.
6:21
It's really dusty. Oh.
6:23
Well, I had to say. Let's leave it for Sloan.
6:25
Good point. I'm very surprised you're able
6:27
to, like, just carry on talking and not go into a coughing fit.
6:30
Well, Dan, that's good. Well, you know, I've eaten a lot
6:32
worse. It's.
6:33
Probably Jeb's also got a lot of saliva.
6:36
Yeah, it's true. I never noticed this other door
6:43
here. So you will get out of Vanna
6:46
White and you pile into the street outside and Clive's.
6:51
Little establishment is in a little alcove between a few
6:54
buildings and in front a three parking spaces with three
6:57
vending machines behind each one.
6:59
And then there's a front door, a vending machine next to it and
7:01
then a gate around the corner as well.
7:04
So do we go through the front door?
7:06
Should we try to find perhaps a side entrance?
7:10
It might be worth doing a two prong attack, you know.
7:14
Crap move. Yeah.
7:16
The pincer move, yeah? Yeah, Pincer move.
7:19
That's. Right.
7:21
Alright, who wants to go to the side entrance if there is one?
7:28
Well, I think we'll, we'll probably need retro.
7:32
It looks like the front door is locked, right.
7:35
I don't hear anything. Well, Retro, I think you should
7:37
come with me so we can keep each other honest on how many
7:40
headshots we get. Are we going off headshots then?
7:43
Well, of course. Alright, we'll go off headshots,
7:46
then head over on over to that gate.
7:48
Well, but the front door is locked.
7:51
We need you. Oh okay, we'll unlock it and
7:53
then come back over, all right. Oh, you're back, Retro.
7:58
Hi. Yeah, yeah.
8:01
Suddenly Jeb reminded me that I needed to unlock both doors.
8:04
Okay. Do we want to like we're just
8:10
going to unlock the door and be like, hi, get fucked?
8:14
We should unlock it and then. Try to do it, you know, just
8:18
quietly don't. And then wait for Retro and Jeb
8:23
to get to the other entrance and then we all going to say all at
8:27
once and yes, then hi. OK.
8:32
I think. Well, if it is true people and
8:34
they're ready to kill our friend, then I don't think you
8:38
know. No, no amount of clandestine
8:41
operations are going to save his life.
8:43
I think we got to go in there drugs blazing.
8:45
I will get my shield ready my bulletproof shield as we walk in
8:53
and you know the whole breach and clear thing we got to got to
8:56
shield up. We walk in.
8:58
Think that'll help. Then I'll turn your half shield
9:00
on. Oh, OK.
9:02
And turn mine on as well. Retro 16, yes, the door unlocks.
9:10
It's a little loud, but luckily. The noise of the door unlocking
9:14
is overshadowed by the slight sound of a small explosion.
9:20
And then you hear the muffled noise of frustrated gangers.
9:26
I'll damn it. It's made of like falling steel
9:30
or something. Sounds like they're using
9:34
explosives in there. We'll go to the other door and
9:39
we'll. Get it going and.
9:41
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. The other door.
9:42
The other door, Yeah. OK.
9:43
I forgot about the other door. All right.
9:45
And then just call us when you're ready.
9:47
And remember, tell Jeb not to shout.
9:49
We have got communicators. OK.
9:52
Shout Retro. What was that?
9:53
It was like a big boom or something.
9:56
Yeah. Don't shout.
9:59
Talk. Quiet.
10:01
Stop, stop. Talk.
10:02
Stop talk. OK.
10:04
What's in front of you, Jeb and retro is a fence, so.
10:08
And you can kind of see into sort of a private area behind
10:12
Clyde's and on either side of the fence you can see through
10:16
it. If you move, you'll be able to
10:17
see a few things. Yeah.
10:20
What is that? Looks like another door back
10:22
there and some sort of mechanism.
10:29
Is about half a foot higher than.
10:32
Jeb is tall, so climbable. Or unlockable.
10:37
All right, let's see if I can unlock it first.
10:41
Unlock. Yes, not only do you unlock the
10:46
chain link fence behind the building, you also managed to
10:51
work out how to make a copy of the key so you now have access
10:55
to this gate forever. Oh sweet.
10:59
I thought it was just that the lock was just that little lift
11:01
up thing you had to do. That's it.
11:05
You just reach around the back and kind of just pull those.
11:08
Yeah. Or or you get a forever key.
11:12
I don't know. I'm just trying to be a nice GM
11:14
for the crit. I'll take the forever key.
11:17
I've got Forever key to a gate. Alright, let's let's quietly
11:22
sneak in. I'm rapping on you.
11:27
Do do, do, do, do. I wonder when they're gonna text
11:32
us. Letting us know that they're
11:35
going in. I think, I think, I think we
11:40
can, we can trust that Retro will actually call us because
11:44
unlike Retro doesn't really actually want to die.
11:47
I checked the back. There's two more parking spaces,
11:50
but nobody's parking them, and a couple of air conditioners.
11:54
Those are Porta poties. What?
11:56
Those are Porta potties. Oh, they're Porta poties.
11:59
Just say. There are two Porta potties
12:01
behind the building. Oh, OK, hold on.
12:02
We'll see it. It's not like we're here just
12:05
before we get going. One moment.
12:07
No, Jeb, come on. All right, I'm going to go to
12:11
the device, the door, and hold on.
12:16
I got to roll something myself, All right, I just to lock Jeb in
12:20
the Porta potty. You know something they don't
12:24
tell you is that you got to close, You got to close the the
12:28
toilet seat. On these Porta potties, because
12:31
that's how it gets stinky, people leave it up And that one
12:34
was lift up. These people are animals.
12:38
Did you you used one of those like seat covers, right?
12:43
What? No, no one needs those.
12:44
What? We talking about?
12:47
I was you at. Least not make a nest with with
12:49
toilet paper around. I was peeing.
12:53
Alright, that's fine by the way. Alright, I'm going to, I'm going
12:55
to crack open this door. So this is an electronic lock.
12:58
Yeah, so. 27. Geez, the DV.
13:02
For the back door was 18. Now the benefits of getting over
13:08
You didn't even roll a crit. That's insane. 27 means you get
13:13
to see through to the panel on the other side and through the
13:17
very fuzzy little black and white screen.
13:20
On the left hand side as you come in, you can see that
13:24
there's a guy with a Mohawk standing between 2 lockers and
13:29
then the door unlocks silently all.
13:33
Right, I'm going to send a text via my tile to VV and say we're
13:41
in breaching clear in three. OK everybody another.
13:48
Text to. All right, then another text.
13:51
Get ready. Preaching clear, preaching
13:54
clear, and we enter. Preaching clear, motherfuckers.
13:59
Oh my. We hear Jeff yell.
14:10
Across. Hey, No Latency listeners, It's
14:21
Spoon. I play Jeb here on No Latency.
14:23
But I also produced the brand new show System Switch, and it's
14:27
called System Switch because every few episodes we take our
14:30
sane, beloved characters and throw them into a completely new
14:33
universe in the form of a new role-playing game.
14:37
We'll go from steampunk to cyberpunk, from fantasy to
14:40
scifi, from romantic comedy to dark comedy from D&D.
14:43
To call of Cthulu. And everything in between.
14:46
So join us on our romp through the multiverse by searching for
14:49
System Switch on your favorite podcasting app.
15:01
Jeb, you've entered the backroom of this place.
15:07
It's where all the deliveries come through, but not really
15:09
where things are stored for very long, because this isn't like
15:12
super secure or so the walls are fairly thin.
15:15
As you step inside, you have a little peek on your left.
15:17
You can see a few lockers, some crates, some sofas at the end
15:20
where someone could relax, like if Clive has any workers or
15:24
people who want to chill before he does paperwork.
15:27
And in the distance, you can see another dude in this room as
15:29
well. Breach and clear, motherfuckers.
15:31
And Jeb bust like kicks down the door and rolls a smoke grenade
15:37
into the middle of the room, which I imagine goes off and
15:40
creates. A roll for that?
15:42
I'm not trying to do damage and. I'm like.
15:45
Like, how badly could I fuck this up?
15:48
I'm just rolling a smoke grenade into the.
15:50
Middle of the room well. It's.
15:52
Not it can cause fire. There it is, 13.
15:56
And my hope is to run in there with the smokescreen, run up so
16:03
that I am within kissing distance of the closest gang
16:08
ganger and just put my gun right up to his head and then go.
16:13
This one counts as one and then pull a trigger.
16:16
This time I am going. To be using my.
16:18
Boom. OK, so the smoke grenade goes
16:23
off and fills the center of the room with a big.
16:25
Puff of smoke and as it dissipates you lose sight of the
16:29
guy on the other side of the room.
16:31
But it's a big enough distractions that you get right
16:33
up and close to the guy that's near the door and you pull your
16:36
gun out and you shoot him for 22 doing 12 damage.
16:41
Now you called that shot, Did you shoot him in the head?
16:44
Yeah, I just. I like to think that I put my
16:46
barrel right up to his temple. So you go up to this guy, pull
16:49
your gun out, shoot him in the head.
16:51
And because you hit 22, and that's way above what you need
16:55
for that chord shot, you do double damage after armor.
16:58
So that's 14 damage in total. He's just above half health.
17:05
Yeah, And he looks at you. Who the?
17:07
Fuck are you? You're the worst.
17:09
No, you just shot me in the foot hold.
17:10
On Let me do my thing. I was gonna say your worst
17:12
nightmares. Let's be scary.
17:13
Ah, man, you ruined it. Oh, I'm sorry.
17:17
At least don't have a rate of fight of two.
17:18
Oh, you do, don't you? Yeah, bang. 23 You didn't call
17:23
it this time, so it does 9 damage.
17:25
That's fair. Did you?
17:26
Shoot me in the fucking head. While I was trying to, we kind
17:29
of dipped and weaved. It, kind of got some of the
17:30
clavicle. That's why it looks like took a
17:32
few little bit out of my armor. Shit, fuck you.
17:36
Fuck you do. You end up there.
17:40
Yeah. All right, cool.
17:42
Nice job. That was fun.
17:46
In the other room I am convinced to.
17:48
Fight. And so Vivi busts the door open,
17:56
and I. That's right.
17:58
Yeah, I. I slide in right behind and I I
18:03
slide across the floor up against the desk, the front desk
18:08
to duck down and I see that there is one person to the.
18:14
East, I guess just at the end of the desk, and I'm hiding from
18:18
the other two. I'm going to take a shot at the
18:21
person out in the open. Cool.
18:23
They look more important and tougher.
18:25
They do look bigger, but you still pull 21, causing 12 damage
18:30
total, and you see it glint off a piece of their armor and do a
18:35
little bit of damage to their sort of torso area and their
18:39
shoulder flinches back. And this.
18:43
Rocker chick with purple hair tied back into a tiny ponytail
18:46
looks at you and goes where? The fuck are you?
18:48
This is our score. Also, how?
18:51
Fuck you. I was supposed to say nightmare,
18:53
but but you ruined it. Never mind.
19:00
And you only have a rate of fire of one, right?
19:02
I do. I do.
19:03
That's it. So I'm just.
19:04
I'm ducked under the desk. The counter, baby.
19:10
I would like to move in with my shield and I actually think I
19:15
would like to place it like right at the edge of this
19:18
counter to make a little like line of cover for Iona and I.
19:25
So I place it down and I honestly despite doing this.
19:33
I do so much better with with melee because of my bat.
19:38
So I'm going to, I'm going to take a risk and I place the
19:42
thing, the shield down and then I.
19:46
Go out. And try to smash this person in
19:48
the face with my baseball bat. Try to smash me in the face of
19:52
your baseball bat. Yes.
19:55
That's insulting. Oh fuck shit. 17 damage.
20:03
That's like. That's that's a lot of damage.
20:06
That is, that's more than I normally do.
20:09
All right. All right, retro.
20:10
Let's see what what you got with this thing.
20:12
And I just like, I take a swing and I feel like it's a lot
20:17
lighter too than it normally is. It's like one of those light,
20:21
like professionals that they use like the really light baseball
20:24
bats. I don't know actually if they
20:26
do. The softball bats are very
20:28
light. So I I smash.
20:31
I smashed this person and oh and they I want them.
20:42
Can I dump them? I'm like, I'm ready to spend all
20:45
my luck points just so I can. You get another hit.
20:47
So the first hit, you're surprised by the different
20:50
weight of the bat as it whooshes past this chick's face.
20:55
You missed. And I maybe.
21:02
My son would be damaged. I could fuck up, didn't roll 15,
21:08
and they dodged the other way. Well, you got lucky this time.
21:15
Luck's got nothing about it. It's all about rolling.
21:18
Actually. Know, it's got a lot about luck,
21:19
isn't it? Vivi, unfortunately you moved
21:24
pretty far in this room. I know.
21:25
I'm scared. So you're now.
21:27
Basically stuck I. Know I'm a prime target.
21:31
Yes, you are. I mean, good luck.
21:35
Everything's fine. It is their term though.
21:40
Now this chick smiles at you and pulls out a Gun Mart special.
21:45
Guess you didn't see this coming and.
21:46
Shoots. You and they shoot you for 12
21:49
damage. Ow OK.
21:53
Strike ow strike. Gets you twice too.
21:56
Bang. And they hit you again for
21:58
another. Time.
21:58
Geez, okay. That was really rude.
22:01
Also, it's my turn. What about like self aware?
22:05
This whole fight is extremely self aware.
22:07
I mean you report. It it is what?
22:13
Do I do I own it? Why are you asking me?
22:16
You should shoot something or or go up and.
22:19
See me I I don't. You are your own person, Vendo
22:22
okay. I'm going to.
22:23
I'm going to do something. Yes, should go up and and stab
22:30
the vendel kicks off the vending machine, jumps over the
22:33
bulletproof shield and steps in front of VV, pushing VV back
22:38
towards the bulletproof shield but not over it.
22:41
They are now in front of. This rocker chick.
22:45
And they pull out that blade and they go to slash 14.
22:51
Well, good thing there's a is A2 attack.
22:54
It is. Yeah.
22:55
Oh my God, my goodness. This person is speedy.
22:59
They. Rolled a crit on evasion and
23:01
managed to push Vendell behind them towards the wall, splitting
23:06
the party in the room. Fuck well, that didn't go very
23:12
well. They're really fast.
23:13
I don't. I don't understand like what?
23:18
Maybe they went to the the Bubble Cafe?
23:20
Maybe. Are you high on drugs?
23:21
What? High on drugs insulting.
23:24
Back to the other room, Jeb. That gang ganger stands in front
23:29
of you, squares himself up. All right then.
23:31
Think you've got it, do you? He pulls out.
23:34
A very heavy pistol when he shoots you, hitting you for 21,
23:37
only doing 8 damage. Yep, that was fair.
23:42
I feel this is almost like a Civil War reenactment.
23:46
Yeah. You know, because we're we're
23:48
just taking turns shooting each other.
23:50
So I'm gonna hide. And they take a step back and
23:53
they open up one of the locker doors.
23:55
Interesting take. Themselves a little bit of
23:58
protection, meaning you'd have to reach in towards them to do
24:02
something. That's right, you you can't see
24:06
me now because I'm buying this door.
24:08
Yeah, brilliant. Great.
24:11
Great thinking, bud. Oh shit.
24:13
There's a lot of smoke. I don't, I don't see anybody in
24:17
here. Jeb's right in front of you.
24:21
You bumped into him. Jeb, what the hell?
24:25
Where they at? Are they even in here?
24:27
I'm assuming you just start smoke into an empty room.
24:29
I. Don't know.
24:30
There's another one on the other side.
24:31
I got this guy. Just run through there.
24:33
He won't even see you coming. All right, I'm going to make a
24:35
mad dash through then that to get here.
24:40
And do I see anybody? I don't think so.
24:43
Oh, shit. All right, you just came out of
24:47
the smoke. Yes, I did.
24:49
Oh, you've got a gun. This isn't good.
24:51
Yeah, I'm sorry about this. I got a window and I'll shoot
24:55
them directly in the face with my shotgun.
24:57
Oh damn. Then it's a cold shot.
25:00
Oh yeah, using. Any luck?
25:02
Nope. OK, well, not this time.
25:04
Cold shot. Bam. 22 yes, yes.
25:09
So double damage to the head, which is, oh God, that's 32
25:16
damage. Good Lord, to the head. 32
25:20
damage to the head is what you've done.
25:22
Yes. So I'm going to tell you right
25:25
now, you've done 27 damage to this person.
25:29
They go below half health, part of their helmet flies off and
25:33
lands on the sofa, and I'm going to roll critical injury. 6
25:39
Broken jaw or. Like shot off jaw.
25:43
Yeah, exactly. This guy's jaw.
25:45
You see, as the armor on his headpiece blows off the helmet,
25:49
turns and snaps his jaw to the left.
25:52
It's now dislocated and he falls to the ground and is now holding
25:56
his face. He looks you in your screen
26:04
face. Don't cry.
26:05
The pain only lasts a moment and then I shoot them again and
26:08
directly in the head. Oh damn.
26:10
And your second bullet misses bullets, ricocheting around the
26:15
room and digging into the sofa. Oh shit.
26:18
Oh wow, that is actually a very nice fainting couch.
26:22
I love you, Retro. That was cute.
26:26
But damn, no, I missed the Mr. shot and I can't think of.
26:34
Anything else? No, I'm done.
26:36
Like I can't think of anything else at the moment.
26:39
This guy on the ground looks at you and he has basically lost
26:44
his ability to speak. What pulls out a gun and he's on
26:49
the ground and he points it at you.
26:51
I mean, it's a -, 2 to hit, but it doesn't matter.
26:55
Because he runs a brick. 23 + 1. Hitting for. 24 damage.
27:01
No, he he critted on every single one.
27:04
The the guy is a legend. Holy.
27:09
Still a regular? It's still only a regular, so
27:12
this matches a little bit less to you, but as when he shoots
27:15
you, a piece of shrapnel gets stuck into your cybernetic arm
27:21
and it now makes a clanking noise.
27:22
Which means until you get that fixed, you're about as stealthy
27:25
as a bell. You have like a wing.
27:33
And also it gives you the sensation of pain.
27:36
And I'm going to say that 24 damage is fine, but it a blazer
27:40
armor by two, not one. Wow, that's four sixes.
27:43
That never happens. Holy shit.
27:45
Well, now it's now happened at me, you.
27:49
Going to go to Sawtooth after this.
27:52
Probably that was a big hit. Back to the other room, one of
27:57
the gangers is setting up a charge on this door.
28:02
That they're trying to get into. He's started work on that while
28:05
his other friend guards him. If you let him do, if you let
28:11
him alone, he will end up doing something it looks like and the
28:19
other ganger squares up behind him on the desk and has the
28:24
clearest shot on Vendel. Rolling a crit 21 + 2, causing
28:31
13 damage. The bullet sails across the room
28:35
and hits Vendel square in the. Chest.
28:40
I'm calling some shenanigans on this.
28:45
It's a very hairy pistol so I can't shoot it again, but fuck
28:48
off, this is our score. It's very rude.
28:51
You shouldn't have shot me. I'm gonna fucking kill you and.
28:54
We moved back to the other room where Jeb, you're now standing.
28:57
Surrounded by smoke and to your left so the locker door open.
29:02
Jim, like, slowly takes a few steps towards the locker in
29:06
which the gang ganger has locked himself in.
29:10
Have you built you in there? Still in there?
29:13
No, no. Now I got a question for you.
29:16
Are these doors bulletproof? You know, you know, I didn't
29:22
really think about. That.
29:29
Twice. 25 twice 20. Five.
29:32
Twice. You shoot 2 bullets through this
29:34
door and you hear them go through his body and stick into
29:37
the concrete wall behind him. And then I open the door.
29:40
Is he dead? He's dead.
29:42
So I opened the door and I checked to see if it was a
29:44
headshot. One of those was a headshot.
29:47
Roll. Is he 10/5?
29:49
No. Well, I got one retro from
29:52
before. You did shoot off a pinky in the
29:55
process. Oh, I got us pinky.
29:57
Zach have or something. Roll Resist Torture Drugs. 12DB
30:03
was 13. You have to eat this finger.
30:06
Jeb alone in the corner in the middle of this fight.
30:09
The pinky of this dead ganger sits in the palm of your hand.
30:15
Wow, you arm a might go for a snack.
30:19
Roll 1D four and then take that as he'll 2HP.
30:23
I'll. Take it but he.
30:26
He's dead. I close the door on him.
30:28
You stuff him into a locker and close the door.
30:32
Walk back into the corridor. That's like where there's.
30:34
Still a bit of smoke. I've eaten the pinky as if it's
30:36
like a. Corner.
30:37
Of the cob, you know, like and then I just have like the just
30:42
like the bone left of the pinky and I kind of just like shove it
30:45
through one of the bullet holes of the door, so.
30:49
Wow. There you go.
30:50
Gross. Back in the other end though,
30:52
Iona is hiding behind the desk where they have bought so many
30:56
weapons. I am going to hop onto the other
31:00
side of the desk and well, this won't let me go over desks, so
31:05
I'm just going to bring my token around and I'm going to grab the
31:10
ganger that is closest to the desk and put my gun up to his
31:13
head. Listen, what if you don't stop
31:18
your friend from opening that door?
31:21
I'm going to shoot you in the head this close.
31:24
Do you know what happens when somebody shoots you in the head
31:27
this close? No.
31:28
You die. Oh.
31:31
Right. Roll the face down.
31:34
All right, Cool. Press reputation plus one D10.
31:39
Cool press reputation plus one. D10 I don't.
31:43
Remember what my reputation? Is.
31:44
I think it's six, maybe 5-6, OK. All right, one D10.
31:51
Oh. Yeah, baby.
31:54
Oh. That's 23 baby oh.
31:58
That is. Oh.
32:00
I got, I got, I got 18, which is not bad.
32:05
This is not bad. I've been rolling really well
32:07
today. D3 Oh, baby.
32:11
Like, I mean, you can't stop the others, but I I mean, I.
32:13
Fuck it. And he jumps over the bar in
32:16
Clive's Weapon Shop. And makes a beeline for the door
32:20
turning away from you. You can still shoot at someone
32:23
else. Yeah, I all right.
32:26
I wanted you to stop the other one, but I guess I will.
32:28
And so I shoot at the person at the door, not the one that ran
32:35
away from me. The one that's unlocking the
32:37
door. Oh, yeah, the one that's facing
32:38
away from you so you can shoot them in the back of the head.
32:40
Yeah. Now I I hear you, 2323.
32:46
That is a that is a cold shot. The back of someone's head 23 -,
32:52
8. Yeah, that's above 13.
32:53
Yes, you do 24 damage to this person.
32:58
Cheers, man. You guys, it's getting serious.
33:03
This is the day when one of us dies.
33:06
No, it's not. That would have happened in
33:07
space. Yeah, it would have happened.
33:09
How many? Crits.
33:12
I know it's a little. It's all.
33:16
Concerning. You managed to get this guy
33:19
under half health. He rolls A4, smashes his face
33:23
against the door and you hear this like pop noise, like a
33:26
grape going and he's unfortunately damaged one of his
33:29
eyes. Fuck.
33:33
Not a fucking pirates. I'm from Newcastle.
33:36
Fuck, I know, not there. But that is awesome that you
33:40
shut out their eye from the back of their head.
33:43
Yeah, it's pretty grotesque. That's what the table said.
33:49
It's baby's too. All right, let's go for this one
33:56
again. The rocker chick with the cool
33:59
hair. Are they ever?
34:03
I have a question. Are they cute?
34:09
Crazy hot, crazy hot. This person is.
34:15
Bit as kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss rocker.
34:21
Chick and I was like. Like like Natalie Portman, but
34:25
when she shaved her head. Like Beefer, yeah.
34:29
That kind of fit. Oh, OK, Well, if that's the
34:34
case, I was going to go for your face, but maybe I shouldn't.
34:40
And I'm going to try to sewing again with my baseball bats.
34:47
Let's see how fast you are this time. 13.
34:51
I've got to put luck into this. The next one I'm going to, Yeah,
34:54
yeah, The next one I'm going to put Luck Points into.
34:57
Now you've flirted with this person across.
35:00
The battlefield. So I'm going.
35:02
To give you a -, 1 to their evasion for a very good
35:06
distraction. What the fuck A.
35:08
Mild flirt. You know, gets, gets.
35:11
You somewhere in. This little moment as you lock
35:13
eyes and you give this chick this little side sly smile.
35:18
You lock eyes and she kind of softens a little bit and then
35:21
your baseball bat makes contact with her chew as her face
35:25
careens to the left, she staggers towards some lockers.
35:31
Ow, fuck. Sorry, I did say I wasn't going
35:35
to go for the face, but it still looks good and I'm going to
35:40
swing again. Let's see how many.
35:42
Look, I'm going to throw three luck points into this one.
35:49
So 18. 12. Didn't even need to.
35:54
The second hit swings the other way, pushing them back to the
35:58
other side. Of the room they take 14.
36:04
That takes them under half. Health and cuddled injury table.
36:09
Oh, that's never good. Did you hit them in the face?
36:13
Yeah, even though I said I'm going to.
36:17
So bit you your second hit. Cracks right across the side of
36:21
their eye, and you watch their eye and a part of their face
36:25
crush into blood pouring down from the socket.
36:30
Well 2 ones that eye is gone. The other one's damaged.
36:33
This one's gone. Ish.
36:35
What the fuck? You're swinging well.
36:42
Hey, do you? It's OK.
36:44
Eye patches are really cool. We don't know that we're in the
36:51
other room. Phoebe, why'd you have to hit
36:56
the hot one? Sorry.
36:59
I mean, I I didn't want to, but. You know, it happens.
37:04
Now it's the hot one's turn. Now it's the hot one's.
37:08
Turn Dick and they pull out. A sword.
37:18
A sword. A sword.
37:18
Oh, melee to melee. Let's see how this goes.
37:23
And they swing at you beat 15. 18 yes, the.
37:27
First sword hit falls to the ground range attacks a -, 4, but
37:31
not close up for some reason, and they swipe at you again,
37:35
this time failing miserably as the sword falls out their hand
37:39
and slides across the room towards the door where.
37:43
The other ganger is trying to break in.
37:46
Fuck. It's just not your day.
37:52
Fuck off. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
38:04
Vendel rolls a 20. Crit.
38:07
So with a total of Vendel rolls a crit for a total of 27, doing
38:12
12 damage to the back of this person and they swing again.
38:20
This one they get to evade. Second one they get to evade.
38:24
Not the first one, because they were facing the wrong way.
38:26
What are they going to evade? 1400 just missed, just missed
38:32
that evasion because Vendel hit them for the 15, that's nine
38:35
damage. Yet again, they are very low on
38:38
health. They are not having a good day
38:40
at all. That is, it is bad for that
38:43
person. Does Vendel do anything else?
38:46
No. I think this, I think this.
38:48
Beating the shit out of this chick between Phoebe and Vendel
38:51
is working out. Pretty well, yeah, it is.
38:57
He's dead. It's Retroston.
39:02
You know, I don't really have to.
39:04
As they look at me in fear. There's half falling apart.
39:11
I'm going to take cue from what I heard from Jeb and as I walk
39:16
past them, exclaim I am Morpheus.
39:20
Sweet dreams and below the back of their head as I walk past
39:23
them. And they die.
39:26
You still have enough movement to open the door if you want.
39:28
And I will kick open that door. Is there any enemies within my
39:33
shot range? The the really hot chick with
39:35
blue hair I. Will aim for them and also
39:37
shoot. Not in the not an aim shot
39:39
though. I just said I'm Morpheus. 17
39:44
That hits 18 damage, hits them square in the chest.
39:47
They go flying across the room, smack their head against the
39:50
bulletproof shield, and bleed out on the ground.
39:55
Hey my. Dad.
39:56
Oh no. Oh no.
39:58
Oh no. There's only one person left in
40:03
this room who's holding their eye and they turn around and
40:08
they look at you all. And like, burst into room pulls
40:12
out a tiny green gun, points it at the guy near the door, and
40:14
should mess with the Welshman stuff, you know, pulls the
40:16
trigger. And there is the most incredibly
40:20
loud bang. Like crazy.
40:23
Loud. There's a lot of smoke left in
40:26
this room. A lot of you can't really.
40:28
You don't really know what happened.
40:29
But when the dust clears, there is a pure perfect cylinder hole
40:35
through this guy's skull. Right?
40:37
Thank. What the hell was that?
40:41
The green gun. It was the green gun.
40:44
Thanks for saving me everyone. Should I put on some?
40:46
Tea. Yeah, I could really go for some
40:48
tea, actually. That sounds fantastic.
40:50
It does sound good. What the fuck was going on?
41:03
Next time, no latency. What the?
41:13
Fuck is going on here. Well, it smells like a campfire
41:15
in there right now, so. That's.
41:17
I mean, that's a mighty fine door.
41:19
Where is the other one? The other perpetrator they ran.
41:22
Away but we're. Back.
41:24
And that's all that matters. How many headshots are here?
41:27
I only got the one. I got one.
41:28
I kind of had one. Everybody got one.
41:31
You don't happen to have the latest?
41:34
That's what I'm looking for. Oh, no, that's.
41:38
Rule #1 has never worked for free.
41:40
That's in the handbook. Do I have an invite to the
41:42
Kerrigan market? Retro comes back with a tray of
41:45
shots. Don't underestimate me.
41:47
Did she say bubble tea? I really appreciate your help
41:51
Iona. We really did not take care of
41:53
Claire the way. That we should have.
41:55
Anything you need let me know. I don't, I don't remember saying
41:59
anything about helping people at a cost to us in the pamphlet.
