  Last time on no latency. Hey, can I have a try to get
• 0:05
  some more ammo for my Phoebe? Go ahead.
• 0:07
  I just dropped a lot of money on my apartment.
• 0:10
  Do you have smart bullets currently?
• 0:12
  That'll be all for me. Oh, I'll go last.
• 0:14
  Vendel. Was there anything you needed?
• 0:16
  How much are incendiary? If you're throwing it in, for
• 0:18
  sure. Looking for some ion cuffs.
• 0:20
  A lot of people keeping the packaging but I'm happy to give
• 0:23
  it a life like you said. Well, I suppose.
• 0:26
  You know my work. There could be something to be
• 0:28
  worked out for that. Abandoned.
• 0:30
  This life is never done. Hell yeah, brother are.
• 0:32
  We going in guns a blazing or? Corpo Shallot.
• 0:36
  It looks like Iona's having a rough time in there, and I think
• 0:39
  I know this person would. Would you just plug in the tiles
• 0:41
  so he can access it and then he can?
• 0:43
  Hey, Dan. Dan Daniel.
• 0:45
  Oh no, you should have put some fucking lock into it.
• 0:47
  Grab them. Put them into a headlock.
• 1:00
  OK. A grapple is a brawling check,
• 1:04
  so that's Dex plus brawling plus 1D10.
• 1:09
  Good luck, Jeb. Roll well Jeb, if you mess this
• 1:14
  up, this all could go bad. Brawling 21.
• 1:18
  OK I have to roll evasion with this?
• 1:20
  Oh shit he rolls a crit 17 but unfortunately you rolled above
• 1:26
  him still. So although he rolls a crate, he
• 1:28
  does step on your foot as this happens and as part of this
• 1:33
  grapple you lose. Fuck 4.
• 1:35
  HP he's got steel ship, steel toed boots on he's.
• 1:40
  He's a big guy, he's tolling you so you pulling him back means
• 1:42
  you have to step back with his heels.
• 1:43
  So he really crunched toe. You lose 4 HP and it fucking
• 1:47
  hurts. Get off me.
• 1:50
  And you're trying to choke him out.
• 1:52
  All right. Hey, Dan.
• 1:53
  Dan. Drive.
• 1:54
  The radio. I like you.
• 1:56
  I don't want nothing to happen to you.
• 1:58
  Just go back to sleep and we'll be fine.
• 2:00
  You're not, No. No, I get paid above minimum
• 2:05
  wage. This is bullshit.
• 2:07
  Roll the brawling check. Oh oh when he rolls one above
• 2:11
  your grip, fail and gets out of it.
• 2:13
  I think this is where Vendel probably jumps down to help.
• 2:17
  Checks out. Vendel jumps down to help 0.
• 2:20
  Shit. Into the room also falling and
• 2:26
  hurting themselves, rolling a crit fail to not below -1 and
• 2:30
  they hurt themselves and take 4 damage again my flesh leg oh.
• 2:36
  My flesh leg. Oh, that's the second time I've
• 2:38
  fucked up athletics. Vendor.
• 2:40
  You're supposed to aim for the couch.
• 2:42
  Right. I'm sorry.
• 2:44
  Excuse me? Taps the guy on the shoulder.
• 2:48
  I don't think, I don't, I'm, I'm sorry, I've just really hurt
• 2:50
  myself. I don't think it's a good idea
• 2:52
  for you to do that. So if you wouldn't.
• 2:53
  Mind. And then Vendel does a
• 2:54
  Roundhouse kick to try and knock this guy out.
• 3:03
  Where's my leg? Where's?
• 3:05
  My leg. Usually attached to the hip. 19
• 3:08
  Nice, yes. Vendel rolls 19 and smacks this
• 3:13
  guy across the face. He falls to the ground and is
• 3:17
  now prone, but he is still awake.
• 3:23
  Jeb, what are you going to? Do the only thing I can do, take
• 3:29
  the combat shovel. Hit him straight across the
• 3:32
  head. Oh.
• 3:33
  God fuck you, pull out your combat shovel.
• 3:36
  I'm really hoping if this lands to hear a really nice juicy
• 3:45
  sound. Effect yeah definitely 17 yes he
• 3:50
  gets a -2 to evade because he is prone yeah no he doesn't roll
• 3:55
  close unfortunately unfortunately only rolling shit
• 3:59
  A2 and is knocked out and is now unconscious on the oh the noise
• 4:06
  was loud ish and so outside next to retro the guy who's watching
• 4:12
  the stick ball game. What's that noise?
• 4:15
  Retro you have to roll the distractor and also so does Iona
• 4:18
  and Vivi in the tiny room because Janice is right next
• 4:22
  door. What are we rolling?
• 4:24
  Some way to distract Janice? Be creative.
• 4:27
  Retro is first though, so have a think.
• 4:29
  All right, I'm going to. Nope.
• 4:34
  Acting is not going to be good. Wait, wait, wait, wait.
• 4:39
  Hold on, dance. So yes, because the Bozos just
• 4:45
  got a AAA triple run off the vampires in the stickball game.
• 4:50
  And so I'm dancing because I'm cheering on.
• 4:54
  I'm cheering on the Bozos, not the Bozos Pirates, because I'm
• 4:58
  cheering on the vampires ago. Yes, yes, look at that.
• 5:01
  See, those fucking clowns can't even stack up to those emo
• 5:06
  vampires. Son of a bitch, Yeah.
• 5:09
  Yeah, it's weird. It's weird.
• 5:11
  You know, the the donk noise didn't seem like it's like
• 5:14
  really sunk. It sounded like the the timing
• 5:17
  of that sound was off when the guy got hit.
• 5:19
  You're dancing like I didn't. Really think of mine, boy.
• 5:21
  Yeah. No, I didn't use the sound board
• 5:23
  to go with it. Yeah.
• 5:24
  That's only like dumb radio shows and kid with like, yeah,
• 5:28
  yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You've you've successfully
• 5:31
  distracted me from this stuff that's going on inside one time.
• 5:33
  Yeah, very good. Inside the other room where
• 5:40
  Janice is, Janice looks up from her desk as she's trying her
• 5:45
  best to plug in your extension cable and VB.
• 5:49
  You try and and sort of cough and stuff, but Iona, I think
• 5:53
  it's really up to you. So Janice looks up from the desk
• 5:57
  and and she's very stressed still very dishevelled.
• 6:01
  And as she looks up, I'm going to gently caress the side of her
• 6:07
  face and push the bangs that are hanging across her face behind
• 6:12
  her ear and just be like, oh, let me help you.
• 6:15
  I'm just kind of gently, I'm going to roll personal grooming
• 6:20
  and I'm going to put two luck into it.
• 6:26
  Oh, that's of Crit 32 and this woman you can tell with your
• 6:33
  Crit 32 has basically fallen in love with you of.
• 6:37
  Course. Oh.
• 6:38
  She blushes. And with my with my my buxom
• 6:41
  bosom. You can.
• 6:43
  You can. You can you can plug it in here.
• 6:47
  Thank you. And you plug your agent in and
• 6:51
  you you hear fresh hi. I'm here to ruin the mood.
• 6:57
  HelloFresh. Hi, I'm your neighborhood net
• 7:00
  runner. Could you, could you try and
• 7:04
  track down this lost package for us?
• 7:06
  I I'm going to give you a confirmation number and then we
• 7:10
  can roll interface. Sure.
• 7:14
  NTRS 00116. OK, Yep, OK, sure.
• 7:23
  The roll interface. All right.
• 7:24
  And just so you know, we do have Janice here on the line as well.
• 7:28
  She is. Hi.
• 7:28
  Janice. It seems Janice, but honestly,
• 7:31
  I'm feeling a little flushed. There's one or more interfaces
• 7:37
  going on right now. He's got one luck.
• 7:39
  I'm just going to put it in on the interface.
• 7:42
  No roll bonus, just go oh. Oh my God, Rolling a crit
• 7:48
  success, you discover that it is in van #7 Domino did a really
• 7:53
  good job of hiding this and you also did a really good job of
• 7:57
  hiding it from Janice because of your crit successes.
• 8:00
  So now you know where the van is, but she to her, it looks
• 8:04
  like the information was not found and you can use this
• 8:07
  information and this situation, I imagine to your advantage.
• 8:10
  Oh. I'm so sorry.
• 8:15
  Well, shoot. Well, you know, you all here at
• 8:21
  your company are so good at your jobs.
• 8:24
  I I honestly have no doubt that it it will be found.
• 8:28
  OK, well, I mean, it says it's still here.
• 8:30
  It's just, I'm sorry, the information on which van it was
• 8:33
  in is completely deleted. Do you, do you, do you think
• 8:37
  that we might be able to go back and take a look?
• 8:41
  I mean, that's really against policy.
• 8:44
  But but you know, we're here. I mean, your eyes never help or
• 8:48
  never hurts. OK.
• 8:50
  I mean, I sure I just just like as long as you obviously don't
• 8:55
  take anything that it doesn't belong to you and then you check
• 8:58
  the package with me as you leave so I can sign off on the whole
• 9:00
  thing. That way the insurance thing
• 9:02
  doesn't happen you know of. Course, of course.
• 9:05
  Because I need to like stamp the box, it's got an RFID so.
• 9:09
  Perfect. But you rode really high, so
• 9:11
  here's the the RFID scanner so you can double check it's the
• 9:15
  right box without opening it. Wonderful Janice, you are just
• 9:22
  I, I treasure this experience with you because you're you're
• 9:27
  just a a bright shining light and you warm the souls of
• 9:32
  everyone you meet. Thanks, that's really nice.
• 9:37
  Your friend is outside dancing with my friend.
• 9:39
  That's cute. I can see them on the cameras.
• 9:42
  I've got cameras out front there.
• 9:43
  Oh. That's fun.
• 9:44
  That's fun. Yeah, look, look, he's doing a
• 9:46
  little dance. Look at that.
• 9:47
  There's so much good vibes here, you know?
• 9:50
  Yeah, you didn't just see Retro doing the Carlton.
• 9:55
  I just love. I love all the good vibes.
• 9:58
  Yeah, the the the good vibes a bit You I mean, you do seem a
• 10:01
  little disingenuous with your with your a in acting.
• 10:03
  But like she wrote two crits. So I'm not really that worried
• 10:06
  about it. Not really sure why a doctor
• 10:08
  works at a radio station. I'm honest.
• 10:12
  You need doctors everywhere so. Totally, Yeah.
• 10:15
  So if you guys want to go through the back, please do be
• 10:17
  quiet. I think, I think Daniel's asleep
• 10:19
  in the back, so. Oh.
• 10:21
  Yes, we'll, we'll be very quiet. Cool and just.
• 10:25
  And she gets up and she moves over to the door and she unlocks
• 10:28
  it for you with her key card. She's about to step into that
• 10:32
  room and you can see behind them.
• 10:39
  Janice I want to take advantage of this moment and I turn her
• 10:43
  around and I grab her by the face and I eyes could I kiss you
• 10:49
  your. Puzzle Audible guest.
• 10:55
  You've rolled 2 crits. I'm not going to say no to that.
• 10:57
  While this is happening, Jeb and Vendel, you have to hide the
• 10:59
  body and hide. Yourself no wait, no, there's
• 11:04
  people outside put. It there are lockers in here,
• 11:06
  there are lockers. On the east wall there are
• 11:07
  lockers. I didn't know where the lockers
• 11:10
  put it in take take off. You can.
• 11:11
  See them? They're there and there and
• 11:12
  there The. Cushions off of the off the
• 11:14
  couch. Put them in the couch, they put
• 11:15
  the cushions on top. That's a really good idea.
• 11:16
  Let me get my. Knife out and Vendel open spot
• 11:18
  on the sofa cuts out the lining of the underside and there's now
• 11:21
  a hole in the bottom of the sofa.
• 11:22
  Quickly right. Roll, roll, roll.
• 11:25
  Stealth to do this with Vendel. Vendel.
• 11:32
  Rolls Vendel rolls. A crit fail 7 but Jeb rolls a
• 11:39
  22. So what happens is as Vendel
• 11:41
  goes to cut open the bottom of this, they cut their hand open
• 11:45
  and yell OW and so now Janice hears someone yell OW and you go
• 11:50
  to kiss her. You have to roll well for this
• 11:51
  to work, but they do manage to hide the guy.
• 11:54
  The only real danger is that she will find that there are two
• 11:57
  random people in the backroom currently.
• 12:00
  It it's only us in the world and I, I, I take her by the face and
• 12:04
  I plant one on her. And you kiss.
• 12:07
  And Phoebe, you now watch Iona kiss a random human.
• 12:13
  I've never seen before. I almost never kissed anyone.
• 12:19
  That's not true you. Kissed it.
• 12:21
  This is the first. Time you kissed it?
• 12:22
  No. No, you kissed.
• 12:24
  Sort of. I did.
• 12:25
  Yeah, you did, but this also means that you have to roll
• 12:28
  sanitization. Oh, I will.
• 12:29
  Are you wet, your sweet patootie?
• 12:31
  I'm going to be doing that. With your high persuasion, you
• 12:34
  managed to Mac out with this this person, they also put their
• 12:40
  hand in yours and they put the key card in your hand.
• 12:42
  And you now have the key card as part of this interaction.
• 12:44
  And it gives time for Jeb and Vendel to hide in the room
• 12:47
  below. Vendel Vendel launch me up into
• 12:51
  the skyline or into the. Oh, you're, you're going to go
• 12:54
  upstairs? I was just going to go in this
• 12:55
  locker, but yeah, sure. No, no, no, boost me up.
• 12:57
  And then I'm sure you got like you got you got a robo, you got
• 13:00
  a robo leg. You can probably.
• 13:01
  You know, I got you. I got you.
• 13:02
  Maybe just roll on it When? OK.
• 13:03
  Three. Yeah.
• 13:06
  Yeah, your Stealth 19 is great. Vendell rolls a 25 quick success
• 13:12
  in Athletics and you are thrown onto the roof incredibly safely.
• 13:16
  And you managed to do a flip silently.
• 13:19
  Superhero landing. You're right on top, and if you
• 13:23
  want you can use your flip to close the Hatch on top of Vendel
• 13:28
  if you want to leave Vendel inside.
• 13:29
  Or do you want Vendel to come with you?
• 13:31
  Oh, I'm choosing. I think Vendel's with me.
• 13:33
  As I said, use your use your robo leg and and jump through
• 13:36
  the jump up into the leg. And Vendel also jumps up into
• 13:41
  the roof and closes the the Hatch below them.
• 13:46
  And now the room is empty. Iona.
• 13:52
  That was close. That was beautiful, Janice.
• 13:56
  Thank you. Thank you.
• 13:59
  Sorry I. Oh.
• 14:03
  Well, that was sorry baby, I forgot you were here.

• 14:15
  Thank you, I will give it to my assistant.
• 14:22
  Creep. I'm sure they're lovely like
• 14:24
  you. And you guys walk into the
• 14:26
  backroom, past the computer and a slightly be shovelled sofa to
• 14:30
  your left where you can just about tell that there's a dude
• 14:33
  in it. I close the door behind us.
• 14:36
  There are 8 lockers in here and your your key card does open the
• 14:40
  door out of here. Oh, wonderful.
• 14:43
  Boop, boop, boop, boop, boop. But third time's a charm there
• 14:48

• 14:53
  who's just chilling just. Chilling, straight chilling.
• 14:56
  Just chilling. He doesn't know what's going on,
• 14:59

  she picking up What's being laid down here?
• 16:12
  Yeah, yeah. You're aware Barry needs to

  bribe. It's very obvious.
• 16:16
  No insight required. He literally said it because he
• 16:19

• 16:22
  So it's barely obvious. PP pulls out. $100 at Euro buck

  we should be worried about? Oh no, the other guard I was on
• 16:47
  on thing for. I mean, we're technically on our
• 16:49
  break, but if we see anything we're meant to take our tune.
• 16:51
  But we were hanging out here watching the stickball game on
• 16:53
  my tiny device. But signal's really bad.
• 16:55
  It's like someone else is streaming in here.
• 16:56
  Boy, people get off to hear some noise or something.

  You're just watching. Are you going to try and step
• 17:51
  off the roof? Not yet.
• 17:53
  We're going to see what goes down.
• 17:54
  I feel like having the high ground up here with you Vendel
• 17:57
  is a sure a good position to be in.
• 18:02
  Ayanna, you look up and you can see Vendel and Jeb on the roof.
• 18:05
  I wave hello. Jeb just tips his hat.
• 18:11
  Well, there's there's nothing going on down here like it's
• 18:14
  it's safe and and. Jeb gives a a a call to to Iona
• 18:23
  instead of responding regularly. Yeah, for now, but we're going
• 18:31
  to stay up here just in case. Oh, all right.
• 18:35
  Down I could. I just.
• 18:36

• 19:11
  You've watched like Jeb and Vendel pretend to be ninjas on
• 19:14
  the roof. They're not doing a very good
• 19:19
  job, though, because it's actually your turn to move
• 19:22
  around. So I, owner and VVU, explore

  space is 7. Oh, look at that.
• 19:32
  Look at that. I don't see it, but I trust you.
• 19:36
  I'm making things up. Oh, I thought it was like a
• 19:39
  thing that Paris said it on the map you were pointing out.
• 19:43
  All right. As you come close to the van,
• 19:46
  Iona, as you come close to the van, I need you to roll
• 19:49
  perception. I'm sure I can do that, I
• 19:53
  percept. 20 As you get close, you can hear bickering and
• 19:59
  tinkering. Oh.
• 20:02
  Fucking fucker baby baby. Yes.
• 20:07
  I think there are people in the van.
• 20:09
  There are people in the van. OK Oh, oh.
• 20:14
  I wonder if they can hear us. I don't, I don't know, should
• 20:17
  I'm pulling my gun out? Prep your gun, Phoebe.
• 20:23
  You're also behind the van near Iona.
• 20:25
  Do you also prep your gun? I will.
• 20:27
  Pull out my San Rue. Hello Cutie.
• 20:30
  All right, you pull out your San Rue.
• 20:31
  Hello, Cutie. Do you go north around the van
• 20:33
  or South around the van? I will go South.
• 20:39
  Pincer, Pincer. Pincer manoeuvre.
• 20:42
  You move around the van towards the back.
• 20:47
  As you turn around the corner, you see that there are three
• 20:53
  dudes trying to break into the 7th van, the van that has your
• 20:56
  stuff in it. Shit.
• 20:58
  Now if you want to get a jump on these people, roll stealth.
• 21:00
  You just want to attack them. I was going to yell freeze and.
• 21:05
  Then do it. No, no, you know that.
• 21:10
  I I love it. Yeah, Phoebe rows the corner.
• 21:15
  Freeze. Put your hands up.
• 21:20
  This is a hold up. Night City if you look at a map
• 21:42
  of North America, somewhere on the western edge.
• 21:45
  You'd see an inky. Black dot with fingers pressing
• 21:48
  into the side of the continent. That's where you find Night
• 21:50
  City. And somewhere in the middle of
• 21:52
  that inky black dot is a giant smoking hole, like the universe
• 21:57
  itself drew iron and shot straight through the city.
• 22:00
  Radiation turned the sky red. But our story starts a little
• 22:04
  further South in a dive. Bar the shortstop.
• 22:09

• 22:59
  You're surrounded. You're surrounded, so you might
• 23:03
  want to stand down. Stand down.
• 23:11
  They're they're holding weapons and there's three of them, so
• 23:14
  they do outnumber you, but the one that's nearest to Iona is
• 23:16
  just looking back and forth with a gun in his hand.
• 23:18
  What do I I boss? What do I do?
• 23:21
  Put it on the ground. Don't listen to her, you know I
• 23:27
  always have a plan. No.
• 23:31
  Is that right? Who said that?
• 23:38
  Well, so do we, so you know, you better make sure your plan is
• 23:46
  better, I guess. Well, we already outnumber you.
• 23:53
  And we have better weapons. I have a San Rue.
• 23:56
  Hello, Cutie. Have you seen the way?
• 23:59
  And I have a baseball bat and I'm not afraid to use them.
• 24:02
  Well, I have a a rusty knife and a big gun.
• 24:04
  So so do you want some casualties here of your of your
• 24:10
  your guys here buddy because throwing.
• 24:14
  Out buddy. We've we've killed before and we
• 24:18
  will kill again. God, I don't.
• 24:21
  Know God, I think, you know, boys, I think we're going to
• 24:24
  need backup. Oh, oh, oh.
• 24:27
  Is that an all right here 'cause I got in the way of your plan?
• 24:32
  That was out of character. No, I'm just kidding.
• 24:38
  I'm at Look, I I have a gun pointed.
• 24:42
  I'm not. I'm ready to shoot put.
• 24:45
  OK, Look, I just need you all to step away from the vehicle
• 24:51
  unless you want this to get bloody.
• 24:52
  That's all I'm saying. Step away.
• 24:54
  The. Boxes are ours, lady.
• 24:56
  No, no, no, no. OK, Look, you're clearly not
• 24:59
  understanding, so I'm sorry. It's going to have to go this
• 25:03
  way. What word?
• 25:06
  I shoot. Him this.
• 25:10
  Crossfire. His dad tried not to shoot Iona.
• 25:14
  Call for it. Oh gosh, Oh yeah, I should pull
• 25:19
  up. My character today let's.
• 25:22
  See ranged weapon. Oh, I guess I'll just.
• 25:30
  Rolling at 21. All right, well let me double
• 25:34
  check this guy. He does not have a reflex of
• 25:38
  over 8, but he does. He's about to perform a multiple
• 25:42
  tracheotomy with her gun. All right, you didn't roll a
• 25:46
  crit. However, you did 'cause 14
• 25:49
  damage and so you watch him take a hit to the body and start to
• 25:55
  bleed. Was it this guy?
• 25:59
  Who are you? Who are you shooting at?
• 26:01
  Or this guy. The leader is right in front of
• 26:03
  BB. Yeah, OK, perfect.
• 26:05
  Yeah. Yeah, and then I'm like, y'all
• 26:09
  better step away. I own a role perception.
• 26:14
  Sure. Wendy's like somehow like good
• 26:17
  people or something, and then you're going to find out that
• 26:21
  I'm shooting good people. 16 All right, let's see.
• 26:28
  Oh yeah, that beats what I rolled.
• 26:30
  Iona. As you're paying attention to
• 26:33
  this gunshot to your left, a guy jumps over the wall and lands to
• 26:40
  your E, pulling out his own gun. The other boys are on the way,
• 26:44
  boss. Oh boy.
• 26:47
  You shouldn't have said that. Bang Bang.
• 26:51
  Bang. Bang Bang bang.
• 26:52
  Let's fucking go. Oh, it was fine.
• 26:59
  It's. 21 Who did you shoot? The guy that just jumped over
• 27:05
  the wall to my left and surprised me.
• 27:07
  Oh, excellent. Well, the guy who just jumped
• 27:09
  over to the left and surprised you takes a little lot of damage
• 27:12
  because you didn't do a lot of damage.
• 27:14
  But he does take. Some.
• 27:15
  Yes, and you watch his jacket RIP fairly significantly.
• 27:20
  If you want to do what's best for you, I'd hop back over that
• 27:23
  wall and keep going. Roll for initiative.
• 27:27
  Oh, click, click. Great roll, solid 4 I'm.
• 27:32
  Going to try this new thing. No, they're trying the thing.
• 27:36
  Oh, try the thing. Do the thing.
• 27:38
  The thing. Yeah, it numbered them for me.
• 27:41
  Wow. That's so fun.
• 27:43
  Wow. I know, right?
• 27:46
  Isn't that cool? That was that was a really good
• 27:49
  impression. Jeb and Vendel should also roll
• 27:54
  initiative. Oh, OK.
• 27:55
  I was going to that. I was going to ask like, can we
• 27:57
  hear this? Do we see this?
• 27:59
  Yeah, you can hear it, but you can't see it because you're
• 28:00
  actually pretty far away. OK, that's correct.
• 28:03
  Retro should roll as well. Oh yeah, I don't know if I can
• 28:07
  hear that. I'm all the way outside watching
• 28:09
  a stickball game. I'm I'm going to say that.
• 28:12
  Over a wall. I'm going to say you probably
• 28:14
  heard some gunshots. You've you've definitely heard
• 28:16
  that gunshot. Gunshots are really loud.
• 28:21
  They are. It's actually really loud.
• 28:23
  Decent roll for me. Yeah, Jebediah is faster.
• 28:29
  Iona you rolled A4. Yes, I did.
• 28:32
  Oh, that's bad, dude. I rolled a a critical 8 -, 4.
• 28:38
  God damn. It's 4/4.
• 28:42
  First of all, last is last, a mess.
• 28:45
  Combat has begun VV after Iona's shot.
• 28:48
  You are here in a very in a, and I'm going to be real with you in
• 28:51
  a really weird flip in a previous initiative that I was
• 28:56
  editing, you were lost. If you remember now you have
• 28:59
  swapped places that I own. I usually do get bad roles.
• 29:05
  I am going to, yeah, I'm just going to try to shoot and kill
• 29:10
  this guy that I just shot are. You just going to fucking muck
• 29:13
  him? I.
• 29:15
  You know, look, they had their chance.
• 29:20
  Well, OK, my question is, is he like he's down on the floor?
• 29:24
  Does he look like he's like ready to like get back up and
• 29:26
  grab his gun? He didn't fall over.
• 29:28
  He sort of stumbled against the vehicle, but you did shoot him.
• 29:32
  He didn't take a lot of damage, but he did take like, I'd say a
• 29:36
  good eighth of his health, I mean.
• 29:39
  He looks like a gonk and. They steal, they steal packages
• 29:43
  from parked vehicles. What do you kind of what do you
• 29:45
  think you know? It's Night City.
• 29:48
  I'm shooting again. Shit dude, 22 the guy does not
• 29:54
  have reflex. You hit him for seven, you watch
• 29:57
  his armor get bladed. Are you?
• 30:00
  Is that armor piercing bullets? I do have armor piercing bullets
• 30:05
  I oh. So you used armor piercing
• 30:06
  bullets? Oh shit.
• 30:07
  OK, so that's -2 and that means OK, cool.
• 30:13
  Yeah, so with. Auto fire they roll the seven.
• 30:17
  So what does that multiply it again by you?
• 30:20
  Didn't do what? A fire.
• 30:22
  Oh, they didn't. No.
• 30:24
  I didn't. No, not yet.
• 30:26
  Not currently. Yeah.
• 30:28
  No, you can't. Because, you know, blah.
• 30:31
  So yeah, you you shoot this guy again and you watch with your
• 30:36
  armour piercing bullet as it blazes through his lapel and a
• 30:40
  bunch of the stuffing from his jacket pours out from his
• 30:46
  collar. I liked this jacket, you bitch.
• 30:50
  What did you call me? It's.
• 30:55
  Nice, it's. Time to die.
• 30:58
  And you shoot again. Oh right, I do shoot again.
• 31:04
  Oh Frick. Not good Frick.
• 31:09
  After your amazing one liner the no latency curse continues
• 31:13
  because you're gun jams and it makes a sad oowoo noise.
• 31:19
  Lord. And and the guy looks at you
• 31:22
  with this, with this click as it echoed in the back of this
• 31:25
  parking lot. Smooth.
• 31:36
  And it's sorry. I just broke our immersion for a
• 31:38
  moment because I saw. What'd you see?
• 31:44
  I'm just, I was just looking down for my gear and I just saw
• 31:48
  the tragic world affairs Chad. I just internally laughed.
• 31:52
  So I had to post it and I just broke our version.
• 31:55
  I'm sorry. Worth it.
• 31:58
  Absolutely worth it. Oh, you broke.
• 32:00
  It because it's true, it's so funny and that's.
• 32:07
  The end of your turn if you want to fix your gun, you cannot
• 32:09
  move. Yeah, I will not move.
• 32:15
  All right, spend your movement to fix your gun for your next
• 32:17
  turn. Yes.
• 32:19
  All right, the guy who jumped over the wall to your left, Iona
• 32:25
  pushes back from the wall after being shot, looks at you.
• 32:29
  You think you could shoot me? I I do.
• 32:32
  What? That's not nice.
• 32:36
  I I'm not known for being nice. Apparently.
• 32:39
  It's true. OK be an 18.
• 32:42
  Oh no you don't have reflex you can't dodge bullets.
• 32:45
  That's right you are hit for an 18 causing 12 damage which is 12
• 32:49
  minus your armor. I played it by what everything
• 32:53
  is not I'm a piss. I just rolled A10.
• 32:55
  It hit you in your scar in the shoulder.
• 32:58
  Oh fuck. Oh no, I think I heard the
• 33:01
  distinct sound of Iona's scar ripping.
• 33:06
  I thought just occurred to me after I listening to this week's
• 33:09
  episode. Isn't it interesting that so far
• 33:12
  the only characters that can dodge bullets are the ones that
• 33:18
  have body fuel bite? Vendel can dodge bullet.
• 33:22
  Vendel doesn't have body fuel bite.
• 33:24
  Vendel doesn't have body. Fuel bite.
• 33:27
  Iona, it hurts and you are now in pain.
• 33:29
  Yeah, yeah. You don't have to tell me that.
• 33:35
  You're 11, so you actually, you actually only lose 2 HP, but
• 33:38
  that's not the point. And then he goes to move a
• 33:41
  little bit around the corner where he's standing to try and
• 33:45
  get behind you. But that gun, is it a heavy
• 33:48
  pistol? Oh, it's a red 52.
• 33:50
  Never mind after shooting you once.
• 33:54
  Shoot, you take that as well. Oh, it's a crit success.
• 33:59
  Oh shit. You're hit for 14 damage.
• 34:03
  It doesn't cause critical injury, but it is.
• 34:07
  That's a lot more damage. That's that's four.
• 34:09
  Yeah, yeah, exactly. And your armour gets bladed by
• 34:11
  one. That's right.
• 34:14
  What? I told you to get back over the
• 34:17
  wall. Why would you shoot me?
• 34:19
  Because you're. Trying to hurt my boss.
• 34:21
  And you're trying to hurt me and I'm the boss.
• 34:25
  Oh. Meanwhile, right in front of
• 34:27
  you, Iona, the guy behind the boss, goes to put his gun over
• 34:31
  the boss's shoulder to shoot Vivi.
• 34:33
  Hey, doctor. Oh fuck.
• 34:38
  Yeah, you have something to say. It it my gun jammed hold on give
• 34:42
  me where is it? Do I have the thing if it's OK
• 34:48
  and then OK and then as this part goes in here.
• 34:51
  You watch him just try and like, fix his weapon.
• 34:53
  Oh, thirteen. He manages to fix it.
• 34:55
  I got it working, can't shoot you now but ha ha.
• 35:00
  And it's Vandel's turn. What did he figure out?
• 35:02
  There's a little switch that turns it on and off.
• 35:06
  The gun, yeah. Right.
• 35:07
  Yeah, it's the safety. Oh, the safety.
• 35:09
  What does Vandel do? Can Vandel run across the
• 35:12
  rooftops? And honestly, the boss is pretty
• 35:18
  recognizable in in his face mask while everybody else is hooded.
• 35:23
  And I think that Vendel is probably smart enough to jump
• 35:27
  from the rooftop onto the top of the van and take down the boss
• 35:32
  from above. Sounds great.
• 35:34
  So Vendel has a move of really far because it's 6 plus.
• 35:41
  What is it 4 when they run? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 35:44
  If Vendel wants to attack this person from above, it's 123456
• 35:52
  that extends. Yeah, you actually can do it
• 35:54
  because it extends your run action by two and that is 7
• 35:58
  squares away exactly. Perfect.
• 36:01
  I will give you a bonus to damage if you roll successfully
• 36:06
  in the athletics check to jump off this roof, sure.
• 36:09
  Can I mm hmm make it a dance check.
• 36:14
  You can because they are skating over rooftop obstacles.
• 36:18
  Skate feet gonna save you, no? No.
• 36:23
  Bendel says as they fall over a machine on the roof and then
• 36:28
  fall flat onto the glass above Janet.
• 36:33
  Oh, hi, don't don't mind me. There's nothing important
• 36:37
  happening outside. I don't have anything I can do
• 36:41
  for Vendel this is. Vendel's very bad, horrible, no
• 36:45
  good day. And they still have one
• 36:51
  movement, so they get up from the glass and are standing on
• 36:54
  top of the building. I could try and shoot him, but
• 36:57
  that was really embarrassing. Also, once again I really hurt
• 37:00
  my flesh leg. Take the shot, Vendel.
• 37:04
  I took four damage. Vendel pulls out their very
• 37:08
  heavy pistol and shoots the boss for 17 damage, bowling 22 to hit
• 37:15
  and that's enough mate, that's enough, causing 13 damage total.
• 37:19
  That's a lot. Fuck you guys are hard.
• 37:22
  I'm getting there. Freezing.
• 37:26
  No, no, he knew what he was doing. 2D6 on the critical
• 37:29
  injury table is 4 + 2, which is 6.
• 37:33
  The guy leans against the vehicle and one of the bullets
• 37:37
  goes through a tendon near his elbow and his arm breaks.
• 37:43
  Oh fuck. He has broken arm.
• 37:44
  Now, Jeb, you're looking over the roof and you watch Vendel
• 37:47
  embarrassingly fall over a vending machine, fully roll over
• 37:50
  it, and then land on glass, get up uncomfortably, pull out their
• 37:53
  gun in a very uncool way, and just shoot over the edge and
• 37:56
  look at you. Jeb.
• 37:59
  Help. Jeb's going to run.
• 38:02
  Why can't I grab my guy? 'Cause you're on the foreground
• 38:04
  layer, you forgot already. Oh.
• 38:07
  OK, I'll move you just say where.
• 38:10
  Jeb runs over on the roof up to this, this skylight and like,
• 38:17
  'cause he's already has his combat shovel out and he just
• 38:22
  smashes the skylight and then like, kind of like pokes his
• 38:26
  head in and goes, you're right over here, yes.
• 38:29
  Or Dale, right? Down here, I'm just, I'm in the
• 38:31
  office. Jeb, what are you doing?
• 38:34
  The fight's over the other side of the wall.
• 38:36
  What? What?
• 38:39
  What? Jeb, I didn't shoot down the
• 38:42
  glass. I shot over here.
• 38:44
  And vendale points. Over here, Oh my God, I just.
• 38:47
  I can't see anything. This whole time I thought it was
• 38:53
  inside this building. No, no, we couldn't see because
• 38:57
  the wall blocked our vision. But it's, it's over here.
• 38:59
  Look. And then Dale pushes you to the
• 39:01
  edge of this wall and you're still on top.
• 39:03
  Oh my God. There's like guys here, Iona's
• 39:07
  been shot. I see everything.
• 39:09
  I I have been shot. I have been shot.
• 39:12
  Jeb, before we continue fighting, you probably should
• 39:14
  say nice to say sorry to the nice lady downstairs.
• 39:18
  Sorry about that. I thought there was.
• 39:20
  I'll, I'll pay for that. What's going on?
• 39:25
  Not now. We'll tell you in a minute.
• 39:27
  We really don't want you to know.
• 39:28
  It's better if you don't. Hey Iona, I'm I'm just going to
• 39:33
  level with you. I need to know who to shoot.
• 39:36
  I I point to the gentleman next to the wall.
• 39:41
  There is one directly in front of me all basically all of these
• 39:44
  hooded people. And then the the gentleman with
• 39:47
  the bones sticking out of his arm and the mask on.
• 39:51
  All right, so maybe just finish off the the mask broken arm,
• 39:54
  man. Perfect.
• 39:55
  That's the boss. That's the boss.
• 39:57
  Yes, he's almost done righto. Help me out, Jeb.
• 40:00
  And he's related to Bruce Springsteen.
• 40:03
  So Jeb pulls out his gun and shoots twice.
• 40:07
  Bang Bang. Rolling a 24 each time causing a
• 40:10
  decent amount of damage. That's lost our damage.
• 40:15
  It ain't great, but it's not them scarfing it.
• 40:17
  One of the bullets goes straight through a tendon in his broken
• 40:21
  arm and more blood spurts across the ground.
• 40:24
  And then once again he sits back up and the second bullet comes
• 40:29
  through him and he is very, very low on health.
• 40:33
  It he it actually causes him to fall to the ground and he is
• 40:35
  essentially proud. Guys, this might be the end.
• 40:42
  Well, I mean, I'm, I listen, I'd, I'd, I don't know exactly
• 40:46
  what happened over here while I was up on the roof with Van
• 40:49
  Dale, but I'm sure they give you some sort of heads up.
• 40:52
  We don't usually kill people without telling them we're about
• 40:55
  to kill them. So I, I can't imagine that you,
• 40:58
  you know, didn't get some sort of warning.
• 41:02
  Am I right, friends? He did get a warning.
• 41:06
  OK, see, we got no, no one to blame but yourself there, Sir.
• 41:10
  It's true. Retro, you're standing outside
• 41:14
  the front of this play and the stickable match goes to it,
• 41:19
  comes to a close and we're going to say oops, oops.
• 41:27
  Unfortunately the bozos actually do clinch it and win because I
• 41:30
  rolled A1 and damn the guy next. Motherfucker.
• 41:33
  And you look up and you watch Jeb fire 2 gunshots down into a
• 41:37
  into the bottom of the parking lot from the roof.
• 41:40
  Holy fuck. I know, I know mate.
• 41:44
  I thought the vampires had it. I thought that.
• 41:48
  Yeah, I I thought. That gloss break sound effect
• 41:50
  was really realistic though. That sounded like it was me.
• 41:52
  Oh my. God.
• 41:54
  What was that? I don't know.
• 42:01
  I've been here with you the whole time.
• 42:03
  I wouldn't know anything else. I was going to call it with the
• 42:08
  way, hey, everything going OK, Every, every anybody, anybody,
• 42:13
  everybody, somebody. Oh yeah.
• 42:17
  What the fuck was that? Oh, we're shooting some hooded
• 42:20
  guys and there was a dude with a mask, but he's pretty much dead.
• 42:25
  Oh, so you don't need me? He did say we're all right.
• 42:30
  That there might be backups, so oh.
• 42:33
  That's good. That's good.
• 42:34
  We can like kind of have you on call, you know, and then we can
• 42:38
  because they had they did the whole thing about being like,
• 42:41
  oh, we're going to call in backup.
• 42:42
  Better look out. But now we have you as backup.
• 42:45
  So we can kind of say the same thing.
• 42:47
  Get them. Get their Jimmy.
• 42:49
  'S all rustled. Yes, if you wouldn't mind Retro,
• 42:54
  just be on the lookout for said backup and let us know.
• 42:58
  Oh, that's good too. OK.
• 43:00
  I will look out for backup and back you.
• 43:06
  Do you look up for backup retro? I will back up for Lookout, yes.
• 43:10
  Cool, roll for it. See here.
• 43:16
  I'm assume I'm, you know, perception would probably be a
• 43:18
  good one. Yeah, but I'm wondering if dance
• 43:20
  would be a good one too. Dance or tactics?
• 43:23
  I could twerk my way to figuring it out.
• 43:25
  Perception 21 Yeah, to the north.
• 43:28
  You look to the north next to the wall where there is a fight
• 43:31
  going on the other side. You understand 2 hooded guys
• 43:35
  step around the corner. Right.
• 43:37
  Where are they? And then they hear like,
• 43:38
  fighting. Oh.
• 43:39
  I think it's on the other side of this wall.
• 43:41
  And you watch them head to the wall on the other side to go and
• 43:44
  try and help their gang and essentially outnumber your
• 43:49
  friends. I'm going to politely turn to
• 43:51
  the gentleman that was watching this football game with me.
• 43:56
  You should. Probably call an ambulance.
• 44:06
  Next time on no latency. Hey, what do you think you're
• 44:13
  doing? Stay with us, I will help you in
• 44:15
  a minute. So these guys are trying to get
• 44:17
  into that truck, huh? God damn it, could you please
• 44:20
  stop shooting me? He shoots a secret chopper.
• 44:26
  It's OK, I think I shoot next. If you want to make a makeshift
• 44:29
  tourniquet for the time being. Guest doc.
• 44:32
  And then drive it out to van. What Pinto?
• 44:35
  'S gonna hop off the roof onto the van and then.
• 44:38
  Oh shit, in a kerfuffle over here.
• 44:40
  Why is he so fast? That sounds like a lot of steps.
• 44:42
  Nope, I want to turn him into a human shield.
• 44:44
  Jesus, holy shit. He's the fucking cavalry.
• 44:48
  Oh, I do shoot him. Yes, they are going to pay.
• 44:51
  That guy probably had a family. Shouldn't have left?
• 44:54
  I laugh at him all the time. I think we're leaving the boss
• 44:57
  alive, aren't we? So we'll go ahead and duct tape
• 44:59
  the rebreather to his face. I have medical tape.
• 45:01
  Hopefully we can just get this knocked out.
• 45:03
  Help is on the way. Your generosity is going to be
• 45:07
  how generous I am with your Dick.
