Last time I'll know latency. And they're just trying to scare
0:06
everyone. Orpo propaganda.
0:08
Why are they focusing on this? They'll.
0:10
Spin it the way they want. Of course, that's the part
0:12
they'd be talking about. Look at that.
0:14
That's pretty neat. Oh.
0:15
Cool, you can see the outline of Clive.
0:17
Yep. No, I didn't sew anybody's mouth
0:20
shut. It wasn't my idea this time.
0:21
Oh. It was definitely a made of.
0:22
Why? Did you say it wasn't?
0:23
It was. Just reality.
0:24
I love a hot cup of coffee. It's also a fruit.
0:27
I could really. Picking us up some coffee.
0:29
Take a cup of Joe right now. So here we are at 4 lane.
0:32
Yes, he called me mommy not. Positive.
0:35
So he called you mommy once. What are you going to do?
0:38
Only a lot of power for a lot of that stuff.
0:40
As you got hit by a car. Now consider moving your desk.
0:43
And as we fist bump. Office is closed.
0:46
Pistol will come out of my arm and shoot them directly.
0:48
Put me in the fucking chest. So Iona, you see this argument
1:03
happen between Retro and this guy near the transformer, and
1:08
while you're looking at that, you see the guy who you did the
1:13
card bet with pull out a pair of binoculars and then go to grab
1:18
something from his jacket. Don't do what you think about
1:24
doing. Don't, don't excuse me, yes,
1:31
don't do what you're thinking about doing and.
1:34
What do you think that I think I'm going to do?
1:37
Well, it better we put the binoculars back.
1:40
No, I'm one of my other hand is in my jacket.
1:42
Yeah, well, keep it out. Keep your hands where you can
1:47
see them. Have you got a gun out?
1:49
No. Why should I listen to you?
1:53
Because the person behind me is going to kill you if you don't.
1:57
Should I get a gun out? Yes.
1:59
OK, stick them up. I'm like, Jeb, who are you?
2:05
What's your motivation? Have you learnt your lines?
2:10
Diana, you're going to say something.
2:12
No, I was. I thought it was funny that you
2:14
were doing the pre Jeb, Jeb. Pre Jeb.
2:17
Jeb. That's me.
2:19
Yee ha. That is you.
2:20
That is you. Yee ha.
2:21
Well, are you asking are you going to answer them?
2:24
Are you going to not? You Vendel, you guy reaching in
2:27
your jacket? Card guy.
2:30
I'm just a I'm just a guy. Have I distracted him long
2:35
enough for whatever's happening over there to happen because
2:38
he's not looking anymore? He's not looking over there
2:42
anymore. Do you want to roll anything to
2:44
see what he's doing? Yeah, I will.
2:47
I'll I'll just percept since he's been over there.
2:51
Perceive. Percepting I will percept. 14
2:56
yes. You notice now that his jacket
2:58
is pulled away from his wrist that he has an NCPD wristband.
3:06
So he's a cop? And then N.W.A starts playing.
3:09
Well, keep your hands where I can see him, I say.
3:12
Still. Normally that's what I say.
3:18
Look, you're interfering with an investigation.
3:23
Oh, what are you investigating? People stealing power.
3:26
Oh yeah, take care of that. I was going to call in back up.
3:33
You don't need to, I'm here. Oh damn.
3:38
Citizen's arrest. Listen, I'm part of a sting
3:46
operation and you're really fucking with it.
3:53
Meanwhile, on the other side of the street, Retro.
3:59
Yeah, roll to shoot. OK.
4:02
Truly, the NCPD also doesn't love vigilantism and people
4:10
shooting their suspects. No, they don't.
4:13
That's why that cop, as he was told that it's OK, has called in
4:16
reinforcements. Go, go, go.
4:19
Beans. Retro's bullet flies wide of
4:23
this guy and the guy goes to punch him because you roll Wait,
4:27
wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Wait, hold on.
4:31
Actually I think as we've as we've described this already, I
4:36
would go to shoot but because it's a crit fail, it jams so no
4:40
bullet is fired. Oh.
4:42
Oh, fair enough. Yes.
4:43
No bullet is fired. It jams.
4:46
But I can't now use. It you can't.
4:48
Yeah, because you can't. You can only fix your gun out of
4:50
combat. So you, if that's the choice you
4:52
have now made, your arm gun is now useless until after this
4:56
combat. Everybody.
4:59
Well, for initiative. Oh.
5:01
Boy, here we go. After finding out NCPD and then
5:07
with it being jammed, well they can't call me for.
5:10
Murder now. Exactly, exactly smart.
5:14
Just for brandishing a weapon? Yep.
5:17
It's a much lesser sentence. Sure is and.
5:21
NCPD. That's just a warning.
5:25
Minor infraction. 2080 feet. Oh.
5:27
Yeah. Just don't do it.
5:29
It's like like with the no smoking sign, there's also like
5:31
no brandishing. OK.
5:36
Golden. Vendell 27.
5:39
I don't know what happened there.
5:41
What the? Vendell's living.
5:44
Is that not surprising? That's insane.
5:48
My God, that's insane. OK, sure.
5:57
Damn. All right, the combat has begun.
6:01
It is Vendel's turn. You're on the east side of the
6:03
road. What does Vendel do?
6:07
Well, we're not really sure what's about to happen.
6:12
The guy across the street tried to punch Rush Row in the face.
6:17
Is that correct or? That's correct, yeah.
6:21
Did he land that punch? We don't know yet.
6:24
It's not his turn. Oh, well then it hasn't
6:27
technically happened yet, so Vendel's going to hold their
6:30
turn because we have no idea what's going to happen.
6:35
And I believe I am next and I will back up to Vendel and put
6:45
my hand near my weapon but not on my weapon just in case all.
6:50
Right. Because brandishing is a crime.
6:52
Because brandishing is a crime, I don't want a police officer to
6:57
see that I have my hand on my weapon.
6:59
Fair enough. I wonder if Night City is open
7:02
carry? Oh, it is, absolutely.
7:05
Yeah, the brandishing is pointing it.
7:07
That's very true. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
7:10
All right. Iona has prepped themselves over
7:12
on the east side of the road behind Vanna White and next to
7:15
this police officer, one of the gangers goes to hit retro retro
7:20
roll evasion. Which way is he coming at me?
7:23
Can I even see him? Oh boy, 17 beat 17.
7:28
I got 19. 19 Yes, they go to punch you and you dodge the
7:33
first punch. Oh, come here, you freak.
7:39
I go again, beat a 1520, you dodge the other one.
7:45
Oh, wild haymakers. So you can just see them coming.
7:50
One step back. Whoa, hey, whoa, hey, calm down,
7:53
buddy. And it's retros turn.
7:56
I mean, the guy who's swinging at the guy who's swinging at me,
8:00
I'm just going to punch him in the throat.
8:03
OK, I'm shut up -8 why don't I? Click off fighting.
8:06
I was just there. I don't know, Brawling 22?
8:10
Oh my. So 16.
8:16
So close, so close. So yeah, yeah, you're 3D6,
8:22
aren't you? Yeah.
8:23
Oh, wait, no. It's only 16, yeah.
8:26
It's only 16 the the the guy dodges steps to your right.
8:34
Goes both ways. Great, so now I'm stuck in just
8:37
a regular nights like American Night City street brawl where
8:41
nobody's connecting with anything.
8:43
Yeah, but you've still got one punch left.
8:45
Who's on who's who's who's recording this for the garden?
8:49
There's always somebody recording a fight somewhere are.
8:52
You looking around? You say are you going to throw
8:55
your second punch? Oh, I can throw a second punch,
8:58
that's right, I forgot. When I miss with the first
9:02
punch, I'll just neem in just wherever I can't just to get
9:07
meat so I'm not aimed. Brawling 23 Was that a name
9:12
shot? No.
9:14
It was not all right, just Invasion 13.
9:17
That is not enough and you've landed Rod 386.
9:23
No, not in the ribs 80. 6 right in the ribs no.
9:30
That's pretty good. Causing 7 damage and they get
9:35
pushed back. 4. Because you have cyberwear and
9:41
that probably hurt. That's Phoebe's 10.
9:47
So Jeb and I are like away from this, right?
9:54
Yeah, just a little South. But am I in?
10:00
Do I have visual of what's happening to retro right now?
10:03
Yeah, you've you've watched him. You're watching him in a fist
10:05
fight after he misses his first shot.
10:07
OK, out of all of those blows, only one connected.
10:11
So the fight, the fight's only just begun.
10:15
And is Jeb, is Jeb looking OK? I know he just, you know.
10:18
Jeb's Jeb's healed because you rolled A crit success in healing
10:21
him, so he's fine. OK, great.
10:24
So I'm going to leave you Jeb. Good luck and try to head over
10:31
to help Retro. No, I'm fine.
10:33
It's just a little bruising. Good luck and I salute him and
10:39
walk and just roll 20. Just my visual.
10:42
I can't see it because of the the crates are in the way.
10:46
So I'm going to just move. There we go.
10:50
OK, I'm going to move. You know what, the crates are
10:52
probably good cover, so I'm going to stay on this side of
10:55
the crates and shoot at one of these, one of these gonks.
11:02
Do it so much. Texture.
11:06
Kind of. I know always.
11:11
Off goes your first bullet for 24.
11:14
Let me check if they have a reflex of override.
11:16
I don't think they do. Oh, they do.
11:18
Look at that. Who are you shooting at?
11:20
The guy in the mask or the seeming leader?
11:23
I was going to say the guy in the mask as I think he's a
11:29
little closer to me so. He also does not have a reflex,
11:32
but he made a good choice there. OK, good.
11:36
And he, wow, you're all bad on damage and he gets hit for just
11:41
a little bit of damage. Not a lot because his armor took
11:45
a lot of it, but he managed to get rid of some of that.
11:47
OK, and I believe I fire again. Oh, you do.
11:51
Oh, no, 18. Yes, that is enough.
12:00
You shoot him, the guy gets hit once again for 12 damage this
12:04
time. That's a lot better.
12:05
Oh, I. Just got shot by a doctor.
12:08
Yeah, take a step back. With carriers what?
12:14
Yeah, you got a problem with that, buddy?
12:22
Great. You've been thwarted.
12:24
By Doctor Cat, that's. Funny, hey, careful names like
12:31
that do tend to stick in that city.
12:35
Let me ask when when Vivi does they're they're shot and and
12:40
does their line, is there like a Sentai music frame that goes
12:43
with that too because of the Kawhi cat ears?
12:46
Oh, definitely a. 100,000% absolutely yeah.
12:49
Across the street, the undercover NCPD guy jumps over
12:54
Vanna White. Whoa.
12:58
Headed over towards the other side of the street.
13:02
You know, you could have just walked around.
13:05
It's not. You didn't have to jump over it.
13:09
He cleared a van. Yep.
13:12
Damn, that's pretty. He just jumped over a van.
13:17
That's pretty impressive. Freestanding.
13:19
Not even a run, just. That is them cyber legs.
13:23
Yeah, he he rolls, he rolls an 18 on athletics.
13:26
Totally accomplishes it. Fantastic.
13:29
A car coach speeding by. He has to evade.
13:33
His silhouette against the sun for a moment, flipping.
13:38
Upside down, he gets to the middle of the street while not
13:42
getting hit by a car, and he's halfway towards this combat that
13:46
has happened. I watch him jealous.
13:50
Wow, look at that guy go. Well, I almost got.
13:55
Hit by a car there. That would have been really
13:58
embarrassing. I was wearing a cowboy hat.
14:00
Was a dumbass anyway. Man, he really got me on that
14:05
one. Just catching strays for no
14:08
reason. No, there was a reason I.
14:14
Don't know who to shoot, square head or the doctor.
14:21
Those cat ears are cool. OK, Schoeninger's cat.
14:25
Alive or dead? Retro.
14:27
Always alive. All right, then, unfortunately
14:31
you get shot. I'll take a bullet over a dead
14:35
cat any day. 100% these new sheets are nice because you
14:41
don't have to scroll as much, but I keep scrolling anyway
14:43
because I was used to it and that's weird.
14:46
Muscle memory. Muscle memory.
14:47
Muscle memory. Muscle he rolls a crit 7A crit
14:53
fail 7 and his gun jam. Oh.
14:57
Fuck I did stick my finger in the barrel and it just.
15:00
Yeah, very funny. Fuck.
15:03
I actually now it. Had.
15:05
A rate of fire of two, and now it's not.
15:09
And so he uses his movement to go and hide behind a crate.
15:13
So there's like a one in 10 chance that guns jam I guess in
15:20
this universe. Yeah, there is.
15:23
Damn. Quality.
15:26
Yeah. That's why quality matters,
15:29
because a high quality weapon you'll just be able to keep
15:31
shooting whereas low quality they can like explode and hurt
15:34
you. Sucks.
15:36
Yeah, yeah, No one said the city was easy.
15:40
Wait, so, so these guys are stealing power and and putting
15:45
it into this truck, right? Shush.
15:50
No, no, just wondering if that's what what was going on.
15:53
All right, I think I know what I need to do.
15:55
And Jim runs over and opens the the door to the truck.
15:58
Fuck me out. Loving the choices made tonight.
16:04

Vehicle Tech 23. Yes, that's fine.
17:47
You open up the truck, what are you going to do?
17:50
Hey, it's my truck. Drive away.
17:57
They were not expected. To steal the truck, right?
18:05
I guess you go to steal the truck.
18:09
Awesome. It's, it's in, it's.
18:12
The keys are not in the ignition, so although you've
18:15
made access to the track, you do need to hot wire it.
18:19
No problemo, just looking through here, just going to see
18:26
what to roll. I've got it.
18:30
Perhaps land vehicle tech? That sounds correct.
18:34
That is. I can't believe.
18:39
It oh, oh, that is that's the land.
18:40
Hold on. Hold on.
18:43
Oh. I've got 3 inspirations.
18:46
God damn. Yeah, use.
18:48
One please. Fuck, that's.
18:49
Oh no, wrong wires. Will try that one.
18:54
Again 18 yes, the vehicle starts up and you slam the door shut.
18:59
You now have control of this green van all.
19:04
Right fellas, call me when you need me.
19:09
You drive off all right? Drive or land vehicle again
19:11
please. Is that Jeff?
19:16
Jeb is the car. Jeb, you drive the vehicle down
19:22
the street to the other side towards the South, heading back
19:27
down. So it was like attached there
19:30
was some sort of. Cable, I'm getting to that, I'm
19:32
getting to that. And as you drive you're you're
19:35
about halfway past the bus stop when the vehicle stops dead.
19:40
However, you're all to 30 so you don't get hurt.
19:43
But you do have you're now playing tug of war with the
19:46
other side of this cable. It has clothesline the leader.
19:52
So the leader has now been hit. They have to roll Invasion
19:54
otherwise they're going to get seriously hurt by a large metal
19:59
power cable. The.
20:01
Wheels are just or in rubber. Yeah.
20:05
So you're now like burning rubber?
20:07
18 yes, that is enough. They jump out of the way.
20:12
Retro roll evasion. Retro is also in the path.
20:18
Phoebe is not. 21 Yes, you also step away.
20:22
So there's like a wire going like like that or something?
20:26
Yes, there is. That's exactly how it is going,
20:28
correct. Well done.
20:30
So there's now this long wire that's straight now.
20:33
I suppose, yeah. There is now a straight wire
20:37
long cable. Across.
20:40
Oh, that's the wrong truck. It's a vehicle with blinkers on.
20:44
So there's now this you've now got this cable and truck and
20:47
you're burning rubber as you as you're running away with this,
20:50
It's. Like pulling like eye level Jeep
20:53
inches away from. The the truck, though, the one
20:56
thing you recognize about the truck, Jeb, is that it's.
20:58
Heavy. This truck is heavy.
21:02
Jesus, the heavy truck. And there's a door to your right
21:05
inside it in to your right that you can look into the back.
21:08
Force back there. You open up the door in the
21:11
middle of this combat, you're almost out of your 6 seconds,
21:13
and as you look back, there's just batteries just all put into
21:17
parallel, just loads of them. Well.
21:22
I suppose that could be useful. And you hear a siren in the
21:25
distance, a whirring of noise and a burning of rubber.
21:32
And there's this screeching as a vehicle comes into view and
21:40
stops dead in front of the fight.
21:43
It's an NCPD vehicle and two armored officers jump out of the
21:49
side, get their guns out and just point it at the lot of you
21:53
stealing. Power is a crime.
21:54
Everybody get down I. Wonder if the cops in NCPD
21:58
always announce the crime that they're that you're doing.
22:06
Nobody likes a smart ass. They're kind of the same way of
22:10
like the Judges from Judge Dredd where they have to announce it.
22:14
How do you plead? Hey.
22:16
Stop mocking me. You'd say that?
22:18
What? And he?
22:22
Right, that's it. Pulls out his assault rifle and
22:24
starts to shoot that the leader, Retro and the breacher that's
22:29
near you in a little fan of bullets.
22:32
So grateful. I mean, come on, we haven't even
22:35
done anything yet. And he misses.
22:42
Fuck. Someone hasn't been to the
22:44
firing range. The The gang leader has evasion.
22:51
Oh shit, is that Brock Flesnar? And they dodge out the way.
22:57
I should have told. I should have been able to tell
22:59
by his Neo Affliction shirts. It's.
23:01
Trent Reznor. The guy next to you, Retro,
23:03
opens fire on the officer and his gun jams because he rolls
23:08
the crib. Fuck what the fucking.
23:12
Shit and he runs behind with his other friend.
23:15
So many gun jams. So many gun jams it's crazy.
23:20
The other officer goes to shoot you and the and the boss again
23:25
O21 that hits are you? Do you have a reflex of above 8?
23:30
I do not. You don't.
23:32
All right. Well then you get hit for 16
23:34
damage, are we? And so does the boss.
23:37
Oh, that sucks. So 8.
23:41
So 8 and. Then I don't know why I'm
23:47
blinking right now. How much does my armor go down?
23:50
One it's an armor piercing the boss you hear flesh RIP as blood
23:55
pours down from their side it looks like they've got an
23:58
injury, but unless you looked closely you wouldn't be able to
24:00
tell what it was. Nice.
24:02
OK, and the cops that have arrived have finished.
24:08
They're part of the turn, and the turn begins anew.
24:13
What does Vendel do at this point?
24:14
They've held their turn for a while.
24:16
Well, the two of us have seen this officer jump directly over
24:20
Vanna White, and as they did, now all of the sudden another
24:25
vehicle has come. So I think it might be time for
24:29
us to rush in and get as close as we can.
24:33
Fair. What are you?
24:35
What are you rolling? Well, first of all, movement
24:38
Vendel can Vandel. Does their speed?
24:47
Can their speed double because of their roller feet?
24:50
Triple. Triple.
24:52
That's good. That's exactly what I thought,
24:54
yeah. So they don't they they can
24:56
because of the roller skates they can run and shoot.
25:00
OK, let me just describe to you what my dream of dreams is.
25:05
I would like for Vandel to roll to the power cord that is
25:08
connecting the van to the scene of the crime and to sever it
25:16
with their. Sword.
25:18
OK, OK, sure. And they're using their.
25:22
Which sword are they using? The excess glass sword.
25:27
OK, good. A sword that doesn't connect
25:28
conduct electricity. Excellent choice.
25:30
Well done. I thought about that.
25:33
You did. So yeah, Vendel's move is, look,
25:42
Mendel's move is 6. So they can wow, they can go so
25:46
far. Yes, I.
25:48
Don't know how far but. The well, here's the thing.
25:53
Running double s your move, but the roller roller skates let you
25:56
move three times your move, and the cable is 12 squares away.
26:00
Oh, so it's 120? Yeah, exactly.
26:02
So you, you, the road is 120. Each lane is 60 feet wide,
26:09
right? Because it's a nice city and the
26:11
street takes up so much space. Sure.
26:14
All right. Well, I would like to separate
26:15
the cord all. Right.
26:17
Bendel rushes across the space, running 60 feet.
26:21
Sorry, two lanes is 60 feet. I'm done.
26:26
So 2, they rush across 2 lanes. They have to roll evasion
26:29
because they're crossing the street.
26:30
Oh. Gosh.
26:35
The Wrong 1. Brawling 21.
26:37
Wrong. Hold on, I'm rolling evasion.
26:40
Evasion 16 Yes, that is also enough.
26:44
In the process of crossing the street, Bendel does a flip to to
26:47
dodge a car and does a much more impressive jump than the cop did
26:51
over a car. That's how you do it, bitch.
26:53
Pulls out the sword mid air and as they come down they go to
26:56
slice the cable. The cable is hit for a roll of
27:01
17 causing 11 damage, which is enough because the cable has a
27:05
help of 10 and it snaps free. Jeb, roll a driving check.
27:10
Get ready, cowboy. Yes, Sir, bail to the metal.
27:18
The van lurches forward and you almost hit the parked car with
27:22
the guy repairing the sign, but you dodge effortlessly and the
27:25
vehicle careens out of the area. You have now stolen a truck
27:30
filled with batteries. All right, so maybe you change
27:36
plans. Tombs was like, I can spin
27:40
around, come pick y'all up and then we go do this somewhere
27:43
else. Or is that how this works?
27:45
I don't know about the whole electricity grid.
27:48
We might have enough power in there to do the triangulation
27:51
without all this bullshit. Can I still have one more hit to
27:54
go and I can move at least six squares?
27:58
OK, OK, we're so I'm spinning around then or I'm just going to
28:03
meet you down the block. I spin, spin, spin around, spin
28:06
around Jeb. Yeah, I don't make choices.
28:09
You have to ask the other players.
28:10
I'm an agency of the GM. Bendel will land on the other
28:16
side of the bench, the bus stop bench all.
28:20
Right, they land free. Everyone between the car and the
28:28
transformer has to now roll evasion.
28:30
So VV retro, the boss and the two cops.
28:37
This is very dangerous. Oh, that's.
28:45
Bad. Oh, that's bad.
28:50
And oh, you've got problems? That's bad.
28:52
No, that's not enough. You needed 20.
28:55
Oh dear. Oh everyone.
28:59
Not something I had considered. Oh, no, you didn't need no you.
29:07
You So the boss has a negative because of a critical injury
29:10
they have, which means they needed twenty.
29:13
Everyone else needed sixteen. Oh.
29:16
Phew. So Vivi gets it.
29:18
But sorry, Phoebe. There's a huge flailing cable,
29:24
Vivi. You unfortunately rolled A crit
29:26
fail so the tip of the cable slashes across your chest and
29:29
you get heavily shot. I know.
29:32
I can see VV skeleton. Oh no, my hair stands up.
29:40
You get flown back 15 feet and I need you to roll a check to see
29:46
if you pass out. Oh, my goodness.
29:53
All right. Let me see what I should roll
29:55
here. Let's see, body.
29:57
Endurance. Unfortunately you take 16
30:01
electrical damage and you fly backwards, landing on your bum.
30:05
You knock your head and you have a mild headache now and you
30:11
smell of burnt hair. DV are you OK?
30:14
This is it. This is it.
30:20
The. Wait, did VV get?
30:22
Did VV get lechecuted? No VV got shocked.
30:27
Shocked. Electrocution causes death.
30:29
That's true. That's you know what?
30:30
That's true. I do.
30:32
I do have an electrician friend who sold me that once or twice.
30:36
Yes, indeed. One of the NCPD officers has
30:40
also been shocked. And do you watch him sort of
30:43
flail around a little bit? He's not doing OK.
30:48
Yeah. You, you.
30:49
There's static in the air. Phoebe, you, you feel it.
30:55
That was not good. And the the boss also gets hit
31:00
with the last of the cable and it wraps around their leg and
31:02
they land on the floor, although they didn't roll a crit fail.
31:05
So they just have to be careful not to get shocked, their
31:06
current picture. But it does cause them to go
31:11
very low on their health and they get flung towards the road
31:17
and and everyone's screaming. This is very dangerous.
31:21
Boss, we didn't really think about that.
31:23
I did not think about it. You are so correct.
31:25
It's. It's your.
31:27
It's your turn. Well, I, I told Jeff to come
31:29
back around. So I'm going to, I'm going to
31:32
try and cross the road so that Jeff does not hit me and I'm
31:36
ready to jump in the van. I'm coming, don't worry all.
31:39
Right, roll evasion. I sure will.
31:41
I flipped a bit and I'm on my way.
31:43
I. Sure, will roll evasion.
31:46
Iona, you make it to the other side of the street, parallel to
31:48
where Bendel is, by rolling 18 on evasion.
31:52
Do you do anything else? You're in.
31:54
You're in golf fire range. Yeah, I suppose I I'm close
31:58
enough to shoot. If you wanted to shoot a cop, I
32:00
guess. I do not want to shoot, no.
32:02
I don't want to shoot while I'm in front of a cop.
32:04
No, I'm good. Thanks.
32:08
Iona abstains from me. No thank you, you're going to
32:12
rush my ass. The the gang boss on the ground
32:17
struggles with the cable and they go to try and pull it from
32:22
the capacitor cage by twisting the cable to dislodge the safety
32:26
mechanism. They may have done this before,
32:28
like a ship hand mores a boat with rope.
32:31
They haven't got a lot of health, but they're going to
32:33
give it a shot. 00 Brawling Contortionist 23 The boss whips
32:41
the cable it unclicks from the machine instantly powers down
32:44
and they whip it around their arm and stand up, using it as a
32:49
now heavy melee weapon. Now we're going to see some
32:53
action. 23 nice causing no damage and they whip it at
32:59
retro. Retro all of Asian.
33:04
Damn it I I didn't do my stretches today.
33:06
They missed. Damn.
33:11
And it's your turn just. So over hyped for.
33:14
It didn't didn't get electrocuted though or shocked.
33:17
Good for them. No, very good.
33:22
OK, If it's over there, I'm still fine because it's I'm
33:25
going to, I'm going to go ahead and move over to where the
33:28
batter is, where they're stealing power from, right and
33:32
shutting it off. Right.
33:33
Well, it's not connected to anything anymore, so it's just a
33:35
capacitor cage. Oh sorry, did I miss that?
33:38
Yeah, so when they rolled A crit success on Contortionist, they
33:41
flicked the cable and it unhooked from the machine and
33:44
that's how they used it as a whip against you.
33:46
Oh, OK. All right.
33:48
Well, that that's good to know. Then I guess I'm just going to
33:54
launch my grappler hand at his head.
33:58
OK as. You said a boss guy.
34:03
Yeah, OK. Just 5-10, that's like 15 feet
34:07
away. Yep.
34:09
Oh, that's not good. Cybertech 30.
34:12
Yes, you grab them by the arm. Oh, I was in for the head the
34:17
same shot. You grab them by the head.
34:18
You robbed 30. Yes, you grab them by the head.
34:21
I'll just fire. You go towards the head or does
34:23
the head come towards you? Well, yeah, the head's going to
34:26
be coming towards me as I also apply my fingers, trying to
34:30
crush his head at the same time. Like a vice.
34:33
So you're just trying to kill this guy in front of the cops,
34:36
OK. Oh.
34:38
It's self-defense. That's a that's a rough word
34:41
kill. I'm just causing a vice grip on
34:44
his head so that way he you know.
34:46
Are you trying to kill this guy? No, I'm trying to 'cause I'm
34:48
trying to cause a blood choke to cause him to pass out.
34:51
OK, cool rolls brawling. Officer, officer, I just crushed
34:57
his head so he pass out. It's fine.
34:59
Jesus. I learned it in self-defense
35:04
class. Crawling 22 Yes.
35:07
You pull the boss towards you by about 10 feet and as you do it
35:12
you watch their eyes roll back in their skull and they pass out
35:16
in front. Of you.
35:17
Oh, Mommy. Oh my God.
35:34
Next time are no latency. Can you hit?
35:39
Me with a whip. I'm going to try to gather my
35:41
senses. Oh.
35:42
God, there's no E. Brake.
35:43
VV's limping, yeah? That's a cop too, yeah.
35:48
Do a sick U-turn. Drift.
35:50
That is very cool. Vendel just don't get.
35:52
Shot and just step on the gas. And get back to reality.
35:56
I'm. So happy with those batteries.
35:57
Shit, close enough, everyone. Get in, I'll hobble on over
36:01
drive, drive. Smells like desperation and
36:03
crime. Everything that's in that way?
36:04
Not a fucking chance. Thanks Retro for the help.
36:09
You got the van on the other. Side, it's not like I'm going to
36:11
shoot him. I'm going to hobble over to that
36:13
one. Everyone's in the car, right?
36:14
Now I'm going to lock the door I.
36:16
Will let's get the hell. Out of here.
36:17
Give me a beer if you get there. First meet you back.
36:19
At the bar. No, that's Vendel, but that's
36:21
for the sketching. Yep, on my way out of bed.
36:25
Where is retro? I hope he's setting up the
36:28
batteries to do the triangling. Venal white was in the vicinity.
36:33
No, it was not venal white. It wasn't venal white.
36:35
Parking in a parking the bus lane is in fact a crime.
