S2E88 - Zero's Last Stand (HW24) · No Latency

0:02
Last time, Oh no latency. Why'd you do that?
0:05
Did you still like Tracy? I love stealing.
0:07
It's one of the things I'm good at this.
0:09
Steve 0 What's his deal? Well, this is the original, the
0:13
OG. Which is OK.
0:14
We made a mistake and we we grow and we learn.
0:18
And everybody makes mistakes. Got what we needed from here.
0:21
Oh, I can't pick it up because I I need plausible deniability.
0:24
Do you need help retro? Well, you need to have plausible
0:26
deniability like other people do all.
0:28
Right, so how are we doing this? I know that we're coming.
0:30
Both me and Vivi have come together plenty of.
0:33
Time. Yeah, Come on, people.
0:34
Now we've came. Vivi, what's so funny?
0:36
Watch out Jab, he's coming right for you.
0:38
All right, there are traps. Exploded a little early down.
0:41
There legendary it's the flight starts flung at us from every
0:44
which way. Oh man, save me.
0:46
Good roles. God knows Vendel doesn't get
0:48
very many of them. I'm so sorry.
1:03
I don't mean to laugh at your pain, but you're hobbling.
1:08
Do you need? Let's see, do I have anything in
1:10
my bag? Well, I did.
1:12
I think I suffered some like 6° burns.
1:17
I don't know how many degrees there are, but.
1:19
I have, I have a Med pack. I'm just going to use that on
1:21
you all. Right row 1D6.
1:25
I mean, I'll pay. Phoebe is like no, no, no right
1:27
now. I mean which part?
1:30
That's fine, we can. It could be the same.
1:33
A quick little patch up is fine. It's a quick little patch up.
1:38
Four. That's you know what?
1:42
That's almost half better than I was before.
1:46
There you are, so I. Appreciate that, hey.
1:50
Do you think if they eat one of the thieves they'll still heal
1:53
up? Does that still apply?
1:57
I would like to not mix body fuels.
1:59
It's not advised in the in the paperwork.
2:01
Oh. Yeah, that's might not be a good
2:07
idea. Unknown reactions.
2:09
We didn't test for any of them. Very irresponsible.
2:12
You know what you could do is you could peel off the burnt
2:14
flesh and eat that. Like bacon, but also don't.
2:19
That's gross. Some say gross, some say
2:23
delicacy. Yes.
2:24
Also don't. It was the scientist, didn't me.
2:27
It's like it's like the kid who picks their nose and eats it in
2:30
class That's gross. Yes.
2:33
Sorry Racho, I might have missed.
2:37
Did you check out this this PC? No, I could.
2:41
I might, I mean you were able to disable the this trap.
2:45
Maybe you could disable whatever weights for us behind this door?
2:50
OK, well, I will, but at the same time, I'd also like to see
2:56
if I can check the power levels of where the power is coming
3:00
from. Yeah, yeah.
3:01
Yeah, you rolled me something. I don't have anything labeled
3:06
something. I'll just do electronic security
3:08
tech. Oh, crit failed?
3:12
No, the machine is booby trapped and causes you for damage
3:16
directly to your health. It bypasses armor.
3:18
It does not collect $200. That's been happening a lot this
3:22
morning. Oh, oh, nice oh.
3:25
Careful. Damn.
3:27
It Vivi. I don't think that was good
3:28
advice. I think the trap was actually
3:29
the computer fuck. I saw your skeleton there for a
3:33
little bit. Now I'm sober, fuck.
3:38
Spooky scary skeleton since Shiver Up retrospine ha ha.
3:44
Sorry, everybody's getting, everybody's getting hurt.
3:48
That's OK Vivi, you and I are still at full health.
3:54
For now, all right, let's go. Says Vivi as she opens the door
3:59
to the next space. All right, this room, but where
4:02
are you going? Don't go too far.
4:04
It might just set you up the. Bridge No.
4:07
One's real perception yet. This room looks interesting.
4:14
Jeb, as you walk into this space, you see a very long
4:18
corridor that is suspended over a large VAT of water.
4:23
The water looks dirty. It looks like that's where their
4:26
waste goes. Looks like this.
4:30
Here's Shitter. The a long gangway that leads to
4:34
the other side of the building over the water as you you roll
4:39
pretty high on perception there VV near where the door is
4:42
between these two shipping containers, you can see a lot of
4:44
blood splatter on the ground that shows a path of the blood
4:49
going from north to South and then on the other side of the
4:53
door you can see it go from South to north.
4:55
Like the blood came towards the doorway at speed very quickly
5:00
because you rolled 22. All blood leads to the door.
5:05
OK, just the next door. Is is that door open GM?
5:10
Yes. All the way.
5:11
I can see all the way. I don't know what the booby trap
5:16
is here I. Don't think I know either.
5:22
Are they like jumping sharks or? While the blood goes to the
5:27
door. I mean, like I said it, maybe
5:32
it's just the shitter. Why would there be blood on the
5:34
ground? Someone had a bad shit.
5:39
It's gross. Do we just?
5:43
Go. Do we just go in?
5:46
Do we just run? Just run for our lives.
5:51
I'm in. I'm running for my life.
5:53
Everyone roll athletics. I was muted the whole damn time.
6:00
DM you didn't hear what I said? No, I didn't because you were
6:03
muted the whole damn time. Pay attention.
6:06
I said I threw my Cam at the door.
6:09
It makes no difference, OK. I'm going to use my inspiration.
6:12
Oh, you're using your inspiration?
6:13
Yeah. You think you said?
6:16
This. This yes bitch.
6:20
Cursed roll 20 hates us, yes. OK.
6:23
All right. So Jeb Retro, who else is
6:27
running? Me Iona.
6:30
Iona and Vendel? Can I have roles for Iona and
6:33
Vendel please? There's Iona.
6:35
Iona rolls of 15. That is good enough all.
6:37
Right. And so does Vendel.
6:40
Both good enough. So Retro.
6:42
No, Retro. Iona and Vendel make it clean to
6:45
the other side as they rush as quickly as they can to that
6:50
other side as you're running through the doorway.
6:54
As you get closer, Iona, Vendel and Retro, you notice that above
6:59
your head it's a big large girder held by two big chains
7:03
and it release it as you pass it swinging from either side like a
7:08
sandwich towards the door in the middle.
7:10
You are now in the danger zone, everybody.
7:13
Oh, Jeb and VV, there is a large piece of metal coming from your
7:18
North and South and you're going to have to avoid it.
7:22
Here's the thing VV, you're lucky because normally, normally
7:25
you'd have a hard time with this on your own.
7:28
But luckily you have Jeb and I will say you get plus one purely
7:32
because Jeb reacts to this, which helps you react earlier.
7:35
But Jeb doesn't get a bonus for this just.
7:37
Shit and then evasion, yes. Evasion.
7:40
Yes, please, just just VV and Jeb avoiding this trap because
7:46
it's it's they're the only two people in line.
7:49
All right, Oh, oh, oh, that's too literally, I just rolled it.
7:55
OK, I rolled the one that was less that was less.
7:57
That's powerful. I thought it was going to be
8:00
yes, very good. Jeb, you rolled A24 with evasion
8:04
and VV. You rolled a 16 + 1 thanks to
8:07
Jeb's reaction time, and you managed to both drop to the
8:10
ground and jump through the doorway in time for these two
8:16
big pieces of metal to fly over your head and slam the area
8:23
shut. Wow.
8:25
It would take you a few minutes to get past that if you were
8:28
trying to escape. Oh my.
8:31
God, there was too close. Jeb roll resist torture drugs
8:35
that. Was. 16 isn't good enough.
8:44
No it's not Jeb. For whatever reason you can't
8:46
help yourself. You are now walking S you're now
8:49
in this space and you're walking South and you can't help it.
8:53
You're walking towards the door. You all watch Jeb kind of like
8:56
lose concentration and start walking towards the door almost
8:59
zombie like. Oh.
9:01
My Jeb. Jeb, Jeb, where?
9:04
All right, Just all right. You have heard though.
9:07
You smell something. What's what's?
9:08
What's you smell something? You smell something really,
9:10
really, really good. It's given your tummy.
9:13
The Rumblies, Jeb. Jeb Commence.
9:19
Jeb follow his desires. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think I'll
9:24
be. All well, no, because he's going
9:26
to walk directly into a trap. So we should make sure he
9:32
doesn't get any more hurt because he's still burned badly.
9:38
I'm going to follow Jeb all. Right.
9:41
You follow Jeb. Jeb, does anyone try and stop
9:43
Jeb? No.
9:48
No. If I see something very
9:51
dangerous, I'll try to stop him, but for the time being, no.
9:54
Steve Zero knows that Jeb's a common.
9:57
Jeb, you walk into this next room and even you know what you
10:02
smelt below you is a huge VAT of blood.
10:08
Oh my God, that is fresh. Is it fresh?
10:15
It is fairly fresh. It's more biomaterial for
10:19
cloning, but yeah. Oh, that's, I mean, goodness
10:24
that it's nice. That's that's all right, Jeb,
10:30
fill my tummy. What?
10:32
Oh no. The the no no.
10:37
This is. This is a lot.
10:41
I mean, yeah, it's a lot. Jeb, Jeb, we don't have a lot of
10:44
time in this arc. I'm going to have to pull you
10:46
along. Don't drink the blood.
10:49
Don't drink the blood Pool. I'll.
10:51
Just. You know, just kind of cut just.
10:56
Jeb, we can't mix your drugs with different drugs.
11:00
Yes, Vendel's right. I'm going to roll brawling and
11:04
drag you out of this room. I mean, I could just jump in for
11:08
a real, just real quick and I'll be right out.
11:11
Jeb, we're not pulling. A Willy 19?
11:14
Yeah, Jeb, you're not. You're not getting away from
11:15
that. You like, you like Vendel too
11:17
much to fight back with a 19. They drag you through the room.
11:20
Yeah, Shit. Don't.
11:23
You're not allowed to jump into huge vats of of of what looks
11:25
like human blood. Next time, if we have a little
11:28
bit more time, we think that'd be all right.
11:30
Yes, fantastic. This time on no latency, you're
11:35
not jumping in a pool of blood. And you all step into this next
11:43
room and it looks a lot more like a barracks.
11:45
All the other rooms look like they were prepared for you to
11:48
try and get you into certain spaces.
11:51
Jeb, you did roll high. You didn't roll a crit, so you
11:54
couldn't ignore it, but you rolled high enough to actually
11:56
exhort, ignore the blood, but still be interested in it.
11:59
You're convinced by your friends and you come into this space,
12:02
and now you're just in this room with everyone else.
12:07
There are some beds on the ground, some lockers on the
12:09
walls, and you can hear the distinctive tone of Steve Zero
12:13
in the next room. If.
12:15
This were like a a fantasy world or perhaps a a digital game or
12:22
or a brain dance of sorts. You would think that this would
12:24
be like the short restroom. Do you know what I mean?
12:30
Yes, I mean certainly take a little snooze if that's for your
12:33
imply. No Deb.
12:35
And you get clipped across the back of the head.
12:38
Is there anything in that in that gosh, what do they say with
12:41
those things called? We got so many of them vendors,
12:44
are there lockers behind you? No.
12:45
Of a vending machine. Are these vending machines or
12:48
lockers? There's a vending machine down
12:50
here at the bottom of the room. Retro.
12:52
You walk right past it. It's next to Jeb.
12:53
See near the sofa. Oh, I thought there was a a
12:58
kitchen stove counterpart. The the the huge big thing that
13:03
says vend it on the on the top of it.
13:05
From up, From up top? I think that looks like a sink.
13:10
That's what all the vending machines look like though.
13:12
Everyone seems. To come across.
13:15
No, let's move on from this. Let's not make, let's not make
13:17
binary like feel weird about his art and have to redo it.
13:19
Let's keep going. I mean, I don't know, I feel
13:24
like we're, we're, we're just very on on track today.
13:29
Well, let's I was there anything dependent?
13:33
We're just. Are these, are we just going?
13:35
In did you check roll roll 3D10? Fine, I'll run over there and
13:39
roll 3D10. DM while they're doing that.
13:44
Are these lockers here? Yep.
13:47
Yeah, I'm going. I'm going through those.
13:49
Cool. Roll me a perception check 16
13:52
Yes that is good enough. First time I knew the vending
13:55
machine there. Yep, Yep.
13:57
I own it. You find a double pack of boost,
14:00
a another Taser boy gun on sale for 250 eddies and a car
14:06
battery. Boost.
14:09
How much is that? It is a double pack for $45.
14:12
All right, I've got I've grabbed it you.
14:14
Buy a double pack of Boost for $45.00.
14:16
You have two beers. Here you are, Jeb.
14:18
Jeb. Oh yeah.
14:20
These are for you. They.
14:22
Make you do things right. It's a beer.
14:25
Oh, Oh my God, I think I yeah, I had these back at the the
14:29
roller. Boost.
14:30
No, it's a boost. Oh no, it's different.
14:34
But it's good. And I only gave it.
14:37
To you SO. What do you say, Jeb?
14:39
I mean I. It does something though,
14:41
doesn't it? OK, good.
14:46
It does something. I don't know what.
14:50
It does. What does it do?
14:51
Oh. My God, I have.
14:53
Two inspiration. You used one.
14:58
You used one. Yeah, for the duration of
15:01
primary effect, the user's intelligent increased by two
15:04
points. This can't raise intelligence
15:06
above 8. If you fail, it's ADV 17 for
15:09
boost. I thought it might make you
15:12
were. Thinking of Smash?
15:14
I was thinking of. Smash I was thinking of.
15:16
Smash. Oh well, you can have these
15:18
beers anyway. All right, I'm going to the
15:20
door. Shall we?
15:22
You rolled perception for the lockers, yes.
15:25
Yeah, hold on a second. I I got a pilfer through these
15:27
lockers first. 16 Oh, so you look around the lockers.
15:36
Romy 3 No Romy 4D10 please. Oh.
15:42
Wow. That's a lot.
15:45
Your your perception was pretty low so you only find 4 things in
15:49
here, but they are pretty cool things.
15:54
You find a pressurized fuel can. OK.
15:59
And a paint gun. Paint gun A.
16:01
Paint gun. A.
16:03
Paint gun 2 pressurized paint cans and a pressurized fuel
16:08
tank. OK, fuel cans have full.
16:10
Yes. OK, cool.
16:12
Well, I got I got got me some paint and I got me some fuel.
16:16
All right, I'm going to think of something to use with these
16:18
later, I'm sure. OK.
16:20
Oh, I don't know why people just have them in the lockers.
16:23
It's weird. For painting stuff.
16:25
Clearly. Maybe they're artists.
16:26
Who knows? You ready to breach and clear
16:28
Jeb? What colour is the paint?
16:30
The canister lets you choose what if there's a a ring that
16:34
clicks to choose primary colours and you can use the two cans to
16:39
mix colours together and that's how you get any all you want,
16:41
but it will use both cans if you use a non primary colour.
16:45
OK, I. Just made that up and that's
16:46
what. So you're outside the door to
16:51
this next area and without a doubt, without any need for a
16:54
perception check, you can hear Steve 0 on the other side
16:58
complaining to something. Breaching clear.
17:03
Breaching clear. You're not looking, you're just
17:05
blowing in. Yep.
17:08
I mean, Oh. It's locked.
17:10
It is locked. Please roll for bleaching.
17:12
For bleaching clear. Please roll for breaching clear.
17:16
Just throw bleach everywhere. Hey man, you got any ammonia?
17:20
It might help. Can I have Vendel kick down the
17:23
door? Yes.
17:24
Tactics, jerk. Oh dude, you've not rolled
17:31
tactics in forever. And so I love the choice.
17:34
Tactics. No, but that's not that's
17:37
interesting, my guy, that's interesting.
17:39
Did you drink the Boost? Yes.
17:42
No. Oh, it's just beer.
17:43
Yeah. He's he drank a beer so I need
17:46
you to very quickly roller. Is this torture drugs check
17:48
please beer 17. It doesn't matter either way,
17:51
you get the effects of it for the rest of this, so you'll just
17:54
have to 13. All right, so Jeb, during the
18:00
Halloween party later, you're going to get very, very drunk on
18:02
Boost because you want a lot of it.
18:04
It will wear off eventually, but you're going to get fucking
18:07
drunk. You unfortunately cannot resist.
18:11
You grab the Iona's other can and finish both beers on your
18:14
own. So you could.
18:17
Hey, wait. Oh, I was going to drink.
18:20
That and you now have see, The thing is, is that boost boosts
18:24
what? Intelligence.
18:27
It boosts intelligence and tactics is an intelligence role
18:33
and boost increases your intelligence by how much Jeb?
18:37
1. Two, that's written, yeah.
18:41
So instead of rolling a 14, you've rolled a 16.
18:45
And one of the things that you get with your tactics as the
18:48
door flies open, because Vendel kicks it open, that's already
18:51
Canon, is you see into these rooms before anyone else does.
18:56
So this will give you a + 1 to your initiative as you jump into
19:00
the room. Just shoulder it open.
19:04
The timing's just good, man. You step into the room,
19:07
everybody jumps in to try and get to their positions, and you
19:10
see Steve 0 facing one of the biggest Z Steves or Zeves that
19:17
you have ever goddamn seen. He is fucking huge.
19:24
Oh boy. Like upsettingly so.
19:27
And over one of his shoulders he is carrying this really big
19:31
Wrecking Ball, which he has grafted to his other arm so he
19:35
can swing it around. He has no mouth.
19:39
It is replaced by a speaker that looks like it was pulled out of
19:42
a Honda vehicle from like 1998. That's very specific.
19:50
Love me those those Honda Accord side.
19:53
Species. I like that he's wearing
19:55
Jordans. Now stop shouting, I know
19:59
they're on our way and it's your job to kill them.
20:01
I've put like 17 zeves into you so if you fail this we're
20:04
probably all bucked. Wait, are Zeves people or I
20:08
mean, because the way that you said that just then made it kind
20:11
of sound like. Oh.
20:13
So I was trying to understand. What?
20:15
Was that what? Nothing.
20:17
Oh shit, are they here? No, nothing.
20:19
It was nothing to worry about. Does anyone want to say anything
20:23
else before? Do you want to do anything weird
20:25
before combat starts? Sorry to break in on your menage
20:29
Moi. Hey, that's pretty good.
20:32
That's pretty good. Menage, Moi and.
20:34
It's not really good. You're full of shit.
20:38
Stop saying you all suck. You kept me in a room for ages.
20:42
And then the dumb guy who meows a lot, he unlocks the door.
20:46
I told him I needed to go to the bathroom and I fucking left.
20:50
And we're going with that. He was a.
20:53
Stranger to me. Fuck it.
20:55
Was his name stranger? Shut.
20:57
Up. You know, Steve Zero.
20:59
You made your escape. You could have gone anywhere
21:03
else. Could have been free.
21:05
We would. We had no idea that you.
21:07
We had no idea that's true. And So what you've done now is,
21:12
I believe, closed the Ledger. Now, one would say you've been
21:18
demonetized and your services are no longer needed.
21:21
And they come around the corner. Taser.
21:25
Oh shit, are you distracting him and tasing him from behind?
21:29
Damn straight. What do you think?
21:30
That menage name? That menage name?
21:32
Wasp. Brilliant.
21:33
No, no, that's really cool. All right, Iona, if you want to
21:36
sneak around behind them, I'm going to give you +2 to stealth
21:40
because of Jeb and Vendel and Retro, you are on your own
21:44
around the back corner. I mean, as per usual, I'm doing
21:49
a great job of being a distraction and very little
21:52
else. Yeah, that's 15.
21:55
That's enough with that distraction.
21:58
So you make your way behind Zeve while he's paying attention,
22:02
behind Steve, the only Steve here, as he talks to Jeb and
22:07
Retro and argues with them, assuming he thinks that combat's
22:11
about to happen. I wonder if it will.
22:14
Good question. And you're you're going to tase
22:17
him from behind. 0. Holy shit, Tasers are different
22:22
That you don't don't worry about damage.
22:25
No, I'm serious. They're very, very different.
22:26
All right, so that's a Taser boy.
22:30
You're coming behind him. That's three D6 please. 3D6.
22:37
That's 10 + 5. For the sneak attack that is 15
22:43
I know and you get 2 attacks with that weapon.
22:45
Oh. Would you like to get taste
22:47
again? ZAP, ZAP, ZAP.
22:51
Hit him once and as he's falling you're just like, do it again.
22:54
That's that's an 18 Excellent work.
22:57
Really, really great roll ME3D6. Those things hurt.
23:03
Thingy I. Don't like?
23:05
It oh 13. He drops, he drops below half
23:09
health and falls to the ground and goes prone.
23:12
Well. Get him get to the stem and and
23:18
eat and them. He's just pointing around now.
23:21
He doesn't know what to do. He just he can barely see all.
23:24
Of them. I'll let you all do one more
23:27
thing. Otherwise, combat starts.
23:29
I'm going to yell the receivers N, the receivers, the receivers
23:35
N there's one he's he's in here. He's out to the north.
23:39
We should, really. Is this one?
23:42
Last. One.
23:44
No, we got to get it. We got to get it.
23:47
We're all for initiative. Folks, welcome to dungeons and
24:02
Randomness. Since 2012, myself and an
24:04
amazing cast of 18 have been telling stories in our home brew
24:08
world of Theria. Four different groups explore
24:11
lost ruins, run for political office, Rage Against a mad king,
24:16
set sail to long forgotten islands, and so much more.
24:19
Every group has a different story and flavor, and every
24:23
season or Ark has a new set of groups and stories, all building
24:27
the history of our world with every single session.
24:31
Literally hundreds of hours of stories are waiting for you as
24:34
part of the Pickaxe network. Check out Dungeons and
24:37
Randomness wherever you get your podcasts and we'll see you
24:40
around the table. Oh, you're saying that's your
24:50
last one? Well don't worry I can make them
24:55
re retired. I don't.
24:57
Know was that good I. Felt I didn't have anything.
24:59
Good, good enough. Go.
25:00
Go for. It OK, OK.
25:01
OK, try something a bit more Halloweeny next time, but.
25:03
Good, yes. Thumbs that's that's.
25:05
Gradian Anyway, I'm going to shoot them.
25:07
Jeb. Yes.
25:09
You fire off your guns. Yeah.
25:11
First shot, Beautiful. Cascades through the room.
25:15
You rolled a 24. It's actually pretty hard to
25:19
hit. Who are you?
25:20
Who are you shooting at? Well, the the the transceiver of
25:23
course. All right, so that's 123456.
25:29
He is very far away. And you, you don't do enough
25:34
damage. Oh shit, I'm sorry.
25:38
I should have ran up to him. You should have ran up to him
25:43
but just not a lot and your second shot is bad.
25:48
Worse. Yeah.
25:49
Yep, Yep, that's a crit fail. And so it misses and plings and
25:55
tings around the room, and because it's crit failed, the
25:58
bullet returns and grazes your leg and you lose 1 HP Ow.
26:02
Ow much? One HP, it is a it is a metal
26:05
room. My going ricochets are going to
26:06
happen. It it happens.
26:10
Do you move any further because you only moved to three squares?
26:12
I mean, yeah, I want to move up to him.
26:15
All right, good then. I just do it.
26:18
Nice. I take a couple of steps toward
26:21
the chain, Steve, and I am going to take a shot.
26:30
You're ugly and I took a shot. Pull up this San Rue, San Rue
26:38
Hello Kitty Ultra Kate assault pistol and with a little spin
26:43
for glam as I am still dressed as Danger gal.
26:46
Yeah, it's time to go down. I thought it was not cool.
26:53
It sounded cooler in my head. It was cool though, because you
26:55
rolled a 24, it goes straight across the room hit this hits
27:00
this guy for 12 damage and because you rolled so high
27:03
that's a good that's crit damage.
27:05
So he gains an extra 5 damage on top of that a blading his very
27:09
little armor because he doesn't have a lot of it.
27:15
The chain from his body jingles as he moves forward, as he moves
27:20
it forward into his hand, ready to attack you.
27:22
You shoot again though VB, don't you?
27:25
I do. Oh no, and that's a crit
27:27
success. More crit damage.
27:29
Holy shit. This is a crit success because
27:31
you're on a crit. The last one was a crit success
27:32
because you rolled over 24, but you also rolled over 24 this
27:35
time as well with a 25 causing 15 damage in total.
27:41
Sorry buddy, you're not going to last much longer.
27:46
And that takes him even further down in health.
27:51
Nice work VB, are you going to stand there?
27:53
Yeah, I'll stay where I am. Cool great there's a Zeve with a
27:59
games console for a face and he is not happy that you guys are
28:04
hurting his biggest bro and he pulls out his shitty heavy SMG
28:12
which is literally what it's called and he shoots Jeff.
28:16
Don't. Hurt Big Papa.
28:18
See. That is a auto fire crit fail
28:23
and you only get to shoot that once.
28:25
So he tries to shoot you and it fails and he crit fails so the
28:29
auto fire function on his gun breaks and he can only do one
28:36
thing so. He's not happy.
28:38
You know, he's very upset and it's Vandel's turn.
28:40
Vandel is going to take the TV head from my bag.
28:48
And. Skate slash super jump on to
28:52
change Steve and stick it on his head.
28:55
That's such a cool idea. Yeah, I like that.
28:58
That's really fun. Yes, Romy?
29:00
An athletics check and a brawling check.
29:03
All right, all. Right, that seems simple enough.
29:05
Simple enough. Because it's within range.
29:09
What's that, 123? Yeah.
29:14
Athletics go ahead, go ahead. Computer, go go ahead.
29:20
Go ahead, get down. Click the button.
29:22
Yeah, no, it's fine. We can we it's OK if we wait a
29:24
few seconds. If you want to roll these with
29:27
actual dice, you are welcome. No, I can't do that.
29:30
For Cycle Funk, it's too. Real.
29:32
It's. Too.
29:35
Real we're. Just waiting.
29:37
As well. Yes, you should.
29:38
Yes. Athletics 14.
29:41
Yeah, that's pretty good. But Brawling 22?
29:44
Holy crap. Balls.
29:46
O2. All right, Well, yes, he's not
29:47
good enough for that Evasion. Vandel makes it over to the
29:50
chained Zev, kicks off the big machine behind him and shoves
29:56
the box over his head. He is now essentially blind.
30:05
He's waving around this chain and Vandel has to roll Evasion.
30:09
Leave Asian. 19 Yes, Vendel narrowly misses the big ball.
30:14
He doesn't swing it over the chain.
30:16
He just palms it with one hand and swings it where Vendel was.
30:19
But Vendel is smart enough to take a step back and avoid the
30:23
attack. Oh.
30:25
Shit very good, Vendel, Very, very good.
30:31
And the receiver tries to run out of the room, only getting to
30:36
one of the doorways. Let's see, I wanted to ZAP Steve
30:42
0 again, but but I'm going to, I'm going to move over here and
30:48
ZAP the receiver. Zip.
30:52
ZAP. Zip.
30:53
ZAP. Zip ZAP are you?
30:57
Tasering this guy or just killing him?
30:59
I'm tasering him. OK, because it does.
31:02
Damage, right? It doesn't cause death. 21 yes
31:11
that hits roll 3D6 for me. Oh.
31:13
Goodness, what isn't it All right 3?
31:17
D6O greatest fucking terrible damage, awful damage.
31:23
And you caused just a little bit of damage to this sieve.
31:29
He he is, he is slightly damaged.
31:31
Did you do anything else? Yeah, doesn't do a lot wrong.
31:36
Wrong gun, but I can't. I can't switch.
31:40
Can I do something that has a rate of fire of two?
31:43
You you can switch to something as a rate of fire of two.
31:45
This means you can't use your super crime because it is a
31:46
fire, a rate of fire of one. Yes, I'm going to use the R.E.M.
31:49
Ware. Yeah, that's fine, totally.
31:51
And that's in rules, dude. If you have a rate of fire 2
31:53
weapon, you can use one for each.
31:56
There's no rule that says no. Yeah.
31:58
Wrong gun and I use the R.E.M. Ware.
32:01
Oh no, this gun is broken. You try, you try and fire your
32:06
R.E.M. Ware and unfortunately it misses
32:13
ricochets around this room. You rolled a crit fail.
32:15
It's only a -, 1 crit fail. It's not a huge crit fail You
32:21
you slow the bullet down enough that you can roll evasion as it
32:25
comes back towards you. Oh.
32:26
Goodness, look at me dodging bullets.
32:31
It's in fighting. Yes, my computer's just moving
32:34
slowly and I can't get to it. There it is. 15 yes yes, that is
32:40
enough. You avoid a bullet and it shoots
32:44
over you towards the the Zeve in the corner and we're going to
32:49
see if it hits him no. And this Zeve that cannot see
32:55
somehow avoids the bullet rolling an 18 on evasion Iona.
32:58
Good turn. Steve 0 manages to use his
33:04
entire turn to get up. That's all he gets to do.
33:08
He tries to move away from a few of you towards a transformer in
33:12
the corner of the room. You are awful I've I'd have
33:17
better quips if you haven't fucking teased me.
33:21
You rather there attack them. It's your turn.
33:25
Attack, Attack, attack. Them up and at them.
33:30
Yeah. Up and at them.
33:34
And the this other Zeve goes and tries to shoot oh this is bad
33:41
metro with an auto fire shitty SMG.
33:45
Now here's the thing guys, yes. OK, all right, This is one of
33:49
the first times auto fire has actually fucking hit.
33:53
I hate auto fire. And it has hit retro.
33:58
How much health? Do you have Retro?
34:00
31. Cool so with your armor ablading
34:05
this by 11 you get hit with 21 damage.
34:11
Hold on. So the Z boy rolled at 20, which
34:15
means they get times 3 on their on their damage roll, they're
34:19
old an 11 which gives them. 33. 33 -. 11 is sorry, 20.
34:25
You take 20 damage and your armours are bladed by 1.
34:28
I'm almost at 1/4. Yes, so you take a critical
34:33
injury which doesn't count. You break a finger which is not
34:37
really a big issue for you because it is cyber attack.
34:40
Your mirror doesn't work until you get it fixed.
34:42
Yeah, they just Riddle me full of holes and the.
34:46
Shatters your finger mirror, Yeah.
34:48
It shatters my finger mirror the the raincoat I have on turns
34:53
pink all on the inside from the blood spilling out.
34:56
Now, everyone else has seen Retro get shot many times, but
34:58
only VV knows when things are really going to hurt VV.
35:01
You know that he's taken far too much damage.
35:04
Retro is not in a good place. Oh.
35:07
Man retro, you're do not take any more bullets.
35:14
Retro's taken so much now that Retro is brain locked.
35:19
The sweet suffering. Oh yes, as I'm bleeding out, I'm
35:23
just going to look at the chain Steve and go.
35:26
We have such sights to show you and I will launch my rocket
35:33
attack from my K tech hammer. Oh shit, oh shit.
35:39
Whoa. Yeah, that hits holy.
35:43
Bloating Dice. BM.
35:45
Yeah, oh, that's a lot. That's a lot of damage.
35:49
What the hell even is that? There's something.
35:52
You've seen this? No.
35:53
No, he's used it before. He's got a rocket launcher
35:56
mounted to his K tech. Oh, my God.
35:59
You fire a rocket across the room.
36:01
Now, here's the thing, guys. No unrolled perception.
36:03
No, the machine that's sending out the signal it's behind the
36:06
chain guy and you've just called the chain guy to explode and
36:10
retro being hit by this huge amount of damage.
36:14
I would argue you're fucking grumpy and you fire this rocket
36:18
through the room. It hits the chain Steve as they
36:20
turn around to swing the the chain ball around on their turn
36:24
because it's their turn next. And as they are hit, the ball
36:28
loses its direction, flies behind them and smacks into the
36:31
machine. Sparks fly everywhere.
36:35
You Jeb, You hear the signal ring out and lose cohesion.
36:41
It starts to have a wobble in the air and then it goes silent
36:45
and all of the thieves in this room drop to the ground.
36:49
Death machine controlling them is gone and the only person left
36:57
in here is a bleeding Steve 0 on his knees.
37:02
I thought I could take you out on the one day you always try
37:05
and save this fucking city. I feel like we was.
37:08
Meant to be your death day mother fuckers.
37:11
I feel like we saved the city plenty of times on various
37:14
holidays and celebrations and days of the week for that
37:18
matter. OK, zero.
37:21
Yes. You've opened Pandora's box.
37:25
I have. We came.
37:27
But you're the good guys. You're going to, you're going
37:28
to, you're going to be, you're going to put me in your
37:30
basement. Now you're going to come with
37:34
us. What?
37:36
Not this time. Oh, now you're going to come
37:39
all. Right, Jock under the face, I'll
37:43

37:46
Oh my God. Well, I wish we.
37:47
Could just go good guys, you're, you're, you're here to, you're
37:51
going to save me. You wouldn't do the horrible
37:53
horror thing at the end of the Halloween.
37:56
Trick or treat? Next to happen.
38:14
Oh, no latency. Who needs patching up?
38:21
What's up first? So true.
38:22
They won't let you out of the hospital until you poop.
38:24
No, I'm fine. I'm fine.
38:26
Stop the car. Yeah, yeah.
38:27
Good night, Sir. That's all I need.
38:28
Stop the car. Oh my.
38:30
OK, this is a lot worse than I thought.
38:32
OK. We should.
38:33
Probably take me in rat dog and. Somebody help me lift him.
38:36
Going to take my jacket off and lay it over to me.
38:39
I'm a little. Shook it.
38:40
Drive faster, Jeff, I'm. Going as fast as I can here.
38:43
Try chase the dragon and you just can't seem to catch.
38:48
Stop, Stop talking. Oh my God.
38:50

39:14
Come on, stay with me, Retro. I love murder.
39:40
Here's the thing about murder. Love it.
39:43
It turns out we were the bad guys all along.
39:45
No latency has gone truly dark. Excuse me, I think we were.
