- 0:02Last time on no latency. Hi, I'm VV!
- 0:07I'm also a medical professional. Can you help me with my arm?
- 0:10Oh my gosh! Yes!
- 0:11Oh my gosh, yes, it was shoveled.
- 0:13A lot. Even makes you more sense.
- 0:15Did I hear that dr. Davis dead.
- 0:18Jeb got his and G crossed over. It's fine.
- 0:21So Philpott Building 16, the once, so I kind of know where
- 0:25this is. You live in the Pod where this
- 0:28creepy head is, he brings lots of people.
- 0:30When they never leave very weird.
- 0:32There's a hand, the bathtub. We gotta live in gun and we got
- 0:37some dead people. I fight.
- 0:39I think that having the door closed is probably our best
- 0:42option here and maybe, yes, I hate to say it, but barring a
- 0:46door, that slides is much more difficult.
- 0:49The video. Wasn't very good.
- 1:03I know, I know I just I'm a little nervous.
- 1:08I'm always kind of a little nervous but we last link that
- 1:11it's completely fine to be nervous when there's a giant
- 1:14Robo gun on the other side of that door.
- 1:16Yeah. Yeah.
- 1:17Well professionals so well kinda no.
- 1:22I mean I don't know, I gotta consider myself a professional
- 1:25professional. What?
- 1:26I don't know, but app certainly fish, I mean you're pretty
- 1:28famous. That's true.
- 1:31I mean professional. Yeah I guess I really wouldn't
- 1:33have consider myself a racer. First I mean little leaks into
- 1:36this on a CV. I mean I know it's tough like
- 1:40murdering high up like racing obviously if this is going on a
- 1:46CV. I think that Vivi and I are the
- 1:49only Professionals in this room. This is actually true.
- 1:53Oh I'm sorry. Ben David Ellison and I also
- 1:56have qualifications I've seen your CB also seeing my students
- 2:01Boom, but I'm Tish. Oh shit, it's breaking down the
- 2:06door. Fuck.
- 2:08Yep. And then Del runs from the door
- 2:11as it dense. Again behind them dashing
- 2:14forwards and sliding behind table in the middle of the room.
- 2:19Here it comes. Okay, I'm ready, I think good
- 2:25because I think it's time to roll for initiative.
- 2:28Let's kill some robot. Ass.
- 2:32Sure. That's what you're doing.
- 2:34Oh, no, wait, hold on. We can kick some robot butts
- 2:37though, because it's a gun and guns, have butts brat.
- 2:42Yeah. The door, bursts open.
- 2:46And as it opens a cloaked figure and a large gun with arms steps,
- 2:53through the dust and debris, that settles Vandalia mom, get
- 2:57out of there because I'm feeling real grenade.
- 3:00Happy I'm actually behind this chair.
- 3:02I was moved for some reason. Oh good.
- 3:05Because here comes the grenade, was on my turn.
- 3:07Yeah, it's not until her Teddy Phoebe and I both rolled the
- 3:12same, but they get to go first. You go go?
- 3:18Okay. I am.
- 3:21I feel like I had something planned and I can't remember
- 3:26what it was. I think it was sooo, probably.
- 3:30I guess I'll just shoot like, but I thought I had something
- 3:32cooler plan, but I'll go ahead and shoot with my pistol.
- 3:37I'm pretty far away so we'll see how this does probably not great
- 3:41shoot with your good 1300. I'm gonna say no dog.
- 3:48But that ain't gonna cut it. Nah, that's not gonna cut it.
- 3:51Your first bullet blast past, both of them flies, into the
- 3:54back room and hits the back wall.
- 3:56You're all high enough that you didn't hit anything important
- 3:58like the computer. Still, that's good and it's
- 4:01sails past the Beast, the skull on the top of the Beast watches,
- 4:04the bullet and then clicks its head back at you in the eyes,
- 4:07Flash, and the anger and glows. Brighter, you have another shot
- 4:11I do and I rolled 1515. That's enough.
- 4:15Yay. 15 is enough as it turns back to look at you.
- 4:18The bullets. Sails towards them causing six
- 4:21damage and a piece of armor flies off and clanks onto the
- 4:24ground. I got it.
- 4:26At least once it doesn't look happy though.
- 4:30Oh, definitely not happy. Do you do anything with your
- 4:33bonus action? Slightly cover from will be one
- 4:38of these crates at least take some partial cover there.
- 4:41In the back corner there is no partial cover inside red.
- 4:44But fine it'll probably help you.
- 4:48Yeah anyway it's been Delta bundle is going to take out
- 4:52their very heavy pistol and shoot at the living gun, 22:22
- 4:59the bullet, hits hard, right? On the flank.
- 5:03And one of the panel's comes off and a bunch of wires.
- 5:06As Fray spark and the Beast looks like it's in pain it.
- 5:11Fires an errant bullet that hits.
- 5:13No one, but the ceiling and Wales as it takes. 16 damage,
- 5:17nice hair. Oh shit.
- 5:19Wow, yes I'm I've been doing this for a while, a lot of
- 5:22qualifications Jen it's on their CV, good shot.
- 5:29Well it Point get it. Ha ha.
- 5:32No one laughed at that. That's great.
- 5:34I have a bonus action. What should I do with that?
- 5:36Probably take over again. Okay, chilly move back.
- 5:40Yeah, yes, your do, you can come to me and they'll takes a few
- 5:46steps and gets behind the table. Now, in cover from both the gun
- 5:50Abomination and the Zealot standing next to it.
- 5:52There's a thud in the bathroom against the door and you see the
- 5:56door handle Shake, I'm right next to the bathroom, aren't I?
- 5:59Yep. But whatever's in their only
- 6:02role. Old it to so nothing happens.
- 6:04Good. Well, I always them, their
- 6:08electrons, you know, what's in there that I do.
- 6:11Well, it's your turn. You're going to use that
- 6:13information. Are you going to say?
- 6:14Fuck it. What we need when the thumb goes
- 6:15I'm like oh shit back then. The bathroom is a fucking hand.
- 6:18That was running around in the bathtub.
- 6:20Oh yeah. Over there.
- 6:22There's a hand in there. Okay.
- 6:24I think I can handle it and I remember that because it was in
- 6:28my time only about two minutes ago from a Bonus action.
- 6:33I'd like to inspect or investigate the gun Abomination.
- 6:38Okay. What does it look like?
- 6:39You're like, can I tell if it has any weaknesses that I like a
- 6:42trigger? It is homemade.
- 6:45The thing about this gun is it's crap put together and somehow is
- 6:49animated. It is ramshackle it does not
- 6:52have seals, it has lots and lots of holes.
- 6:55There's wiring in weird places and there are weapons where they
- 6:58shouldn't be. Like in the barrel are hanging
- 7:00to Ripper blades that it can move around.
- 7:02Can see this pretty plainly from just over the sofa that you're
- 7:05hiding behind. You can really tell.
- 7:07There's been a lot of love. Put into it.
- 7:09Yeah. Like someone's really trying to
- 7:10put their personality into this particular?
- 7:12Yeah. Yeah.
- 7:15I'd like to hold my action until it attempts to make an attack.
- 7:18Okay. Or move worried.
- 7:20But fine. Iona, it's your turn.
- 7:23Well, I am going to shoot my very lucky pistol at the
- 7:30Abomination. Don't go very lucky pistol.
- 7:34So you just said, the one that's supposed to always hit, but I
- 7:39don't know if it did 14, you miss and when you miss, then
- 7:46they'll turns to you with their look of absolute shock.
- 7:50You missed. This is the scariest thing.
- 7:53I think I've ever seen. I might be shaking.
- 7:56Iona, you might be time to get you a new gun.
- 7:59This is my lucky gun. I always had with this gun.
- 8:03We could just missed. Do you have two shots with it?
- 8:07No. It's got a rate of fire of 10.
- 8:10It's have your pistol. All right, everyone start
- 8:13panicking. Oh no, it's okay.
- 8:17We'll make it better. Can I use my bonus action to
- 8:19throw my gun gun there, but it's not Lucky anymore.
- 8:32Yeah, but it still has that ability of the zoellick picks it
- 8:35up. He could shoot you.
- 8:38Do they just say it's been Del just do we think that this
- 8:42Zealot is Keen on picking up random guns?
- 8:45Thrown it in the zelan straight on picking up random shit and
- 8:48building weird things. I mean does look like Samwise
- 8:51gamgee. Okay, instead, I'm going to use
- 8:56my photo section to throw behind you.
- 9:02Anyways, opened a way. I'm going to use my bonus action
- 9:05to saw. I was going to I was going to
- 9:09open it up. You just gonna deconstruct again
- 9:12frustration shouldn't take too long.
- 9:14Well just to like put it back together and it should but I'll
- 9:17bet it's actually put it back together next time.
- 9:19Oh fine. Yeah sure.
- 9:21Okay let's see I'm going to roll handgun.
- 9:26Oh wow. You rolled 21 on handgun.
- 9:31And frankly, van Del's face lights up as they stare at you.
- 9:36Instead of closing your eyes, can't help, but see this look of
- 9:41absolute shock as your hands below.
- 9:45You were out of your sight. The gun comes apart.
- 9:47It comes back together. And for the rest of this
- 9:50episode, you get plus one thing. Oh nice.
- 9:56No, it's my lucky card again. Fix the unlock the door to what
- 10:05would be the bedroom bursts open and out of it comes to foot
- 10:12right? Behind been dealt.
- 10:13It tries to kick then Del in the back.
- 10:19Ben, don't know. Thank you.
- 10:22Belle. Has to beat a nine occasion.
- 10:25Come on window. Yes. 17 been Del as they turn
- 10:30around, grabs the foot and throws it back into the room.
- 10:34The shoe hits, the medical table and takes to be successful.
- 10:39It has got quite the arm and they'll also be present at the
- 10:45table is very sharp and big. So there is no, so good that
- 10:48they do. Ooh damage to people when it's
- 10:50the other person's turn and initiative and it takes 8 damage
- 11:00and you see sparks flying distance.
- 11:03I did what instincts weird. Oh shit that was awesome.
- 11:08Thank you thumbs dose. Hell yeah.
- 11:11Oh well I just thought of something time.
- 11:15How y'all think about that? What do y'all think about this?
- 11:19Individual. Are we thinking that this is
- 11:22like a take out the hooded Gap hot?
- 11:25Yeah, we're talking about you one second.
- 11:26We'll get back to you. Yeah.
- 11:29So are we thinking that maybe if we take out the hood, get that
- 11:33the contraption is gonna like, you know, shut itself on clear.
- 11:41All right. So maybe I should just throw a
- 11:42grenade in between them, two of them.
- 11:44Yes. Charl, right?
- 11:47Oh, no, yeah. Shit, let's not jump.
- 11:59Throw in your behind a sofa grenade lands, right?
- 12:03At your feet and retro. You are lucky enough that you
- 12:06held your action earlier because you are definitely allowed to
- 12:08use that to leave. Right?
- 12:10The fuck. Now, my gosh, why did you
- 12:18grenade only, why is your grenade set?
- 12:20To only do one D6. Damage, what is it for?
- 12:23Six, I think it's six. It's yes.
- 12:25Oh, that does so much damage that's in the rules.
- 12:28Frag grenades to do. That's 66 damage.
- 12:32There we go. 19th damage. So so Jeff like takes the
- 12:36grenade out of his hand and pulls the pin of pulls it a
- 12:38little too hard. And so it slips out of his hand,
- 12:41which is a very, very sweaty and this point because of all the
- 12:44crazy shit that's happening. Our shit and jumps over.
- 12:48The sofa does a cool like summer, somersault tumble
- 12:52dealio, but then like fails. Both over to the first cushion
- 12:56tumbles down to the second Falls Pro and onto the ground rolls of
- 12:59few feet. And just comes face-to-face, is
- 13:02lift his head up from his chin up from the ground just to see
- 13:05this massive metallic giant gun that does have some sort of
- 13:11skull attached to the top of it and the eyes Flash and you feel
- 13:16it. Growl the ground rumbles through
- 13:18the ground and you're very skeleton shit shit shit, shit
- 13:22shit and then the grenade goes off.
- 13:25And it hits that sofa with 19 damage, both retro and Jeb.
- 13:30Now have to roll evasion because there's a sofa flight.
- 13:38My hands are slippery. My hand was slippery.
- 13:44I got too much soap, and I didn't know what I was thinking
- 13:46into. First of all, visions of the
- 13:50fighting retro, you're able to keep complaining.
- 13:55Meaning to him. As you evade you get on top of
- 13:57the table, behind the sofa, crashes across the room and hit
- 14:02both the Zealot and the gun. They were paying attention to
- 14:06Retro complaining and the sofa hits them for to D6 damage. 5 &
- 14:144 respectively. And now the sofas covering over
- 14:17the top of them. Now, the sofa is crushed them
- 14:19against the wall. Well yeah, that actually worked
- 14:22out. Well, I would like to use the
- 14:23rest of my action because I use my movement to get out of the
- 14:27way, right? And instead of my plan or what I
- 14:30was thinking about doing beforehand, I will now use the
- 14:32last knife. Grenade that I still have nice
- 14:35to throw it. Potentially inside the barrel of
- 14:39the monster gun. Sure, 21.
- 14:42Getting it inside the barrel, I'd say is like a pretty
- 14:46difficult task and I'd say that that would qualify to be
- 14:49incredible, which you do not do, but it does hit this
- 14:53Abomination, and it explodes causing 23 damage which puts it
- 15:00under half Health at then it says ouch foreign object, one of
- 15:06the legs of the sofa breaks through one of the seals, as the
- 15:09explosion happens. And now there's a piece of sofa
- 15:12attached. Just to the Beast and it's going
- 15:14to be a lot harder for it to move as it has to drag this
- 15:17broken piece of sofa around on it.
- 15:19That is also mildly on fire. That is now happening.
- 15:23The Zealot takes 23 damage and loses an arm and it falls to the
- 15:28ground. That is extremely unsettling,
- 15:37sir. Please do not do that.
- 15:39The gun is it spotted? The gun is not able to move but
- 15:43it is pointing towards you retro jab.
- 15:47And then Del EV IO, NE all of us, all of you and it's spools
- 15:54up. Its rheinmetall EMG, 86 railgun.
- 16:00You hear this from 250 to 200 and it fires.
- 16:05Let's roll a D6. Why is it red and Rose at 12?
- 16:14And fucking misses the bullets. Sail past you in a nice little
- 16:18cylinder. A little sparkling gunfire and
- 16:23it sings past the left side of your head.
- 16:28He brought the 12. Absolutely not you look
- 16:30incredibly cool. As rare fire of one.
- 16:34So he's unable to do anything else.
- 16:36It does its best to try and grapple you with a grapple
- 16:39Ripper roles in 11 role evasion. 16 the grapple rippers sticking
- 16:46to the table, release and cinch back into the gun, and it Roars
- 16:51in pain. So, if buyers the railgun board
- 16:57at me, I drop down on my butt sailing right over my head, as
- 17:03Is that happens. Grippers come out suit towards
- 17:07me. I split my legs just in time
- 17:09clock right in front as I inch my butt back quickly and it's
- 17:14all very cool about that I like and it's just well it climbs
- 17:19over the Abomination. With one arm pulls out his gun.
- 17:24He cannot move his heavy pistol is underneath his right side.
- 17:29So his left arm, there's a little compartment.
- 17:33And a gun pops out a little Armature comes out.
- 17:35It slips it into his hand ready to fire.
- 17:39Give your soul and he Fires at Jeb hitting jab with an 18, but
- 17:44only doing six damage. So it like, you know, just
- 17:47upload your armor or takes that off your feet.
- 17:49You have one active Shield. I don't think I'm the only one
- 17:53don't have drama takes one damage.
- 17:55He shoots you again, hitting you again for for damage, which
- 17:58again, is not enough, but you feel parts of your armor rip and
- 18:02I imagine it frustrates. If it does it hurts, I'm still
- 18:07taking a good friend. Let's not.
- 18:10All right, so the bathroom seems okay for now correct right?
- 18:17Okay I will ignore that for now I am going to try to shoot at
- 18:21the Zealot. Nice.
- 18:23All right with my pistol you miss this is rolled out crit
- 18:30fell nine. So give me this is not my lucky
- 18:33day. Maybe mr.
- 18:35Le good bargain. Oh Dario 16 nice.
- 18:38Yes. Is that hits they take six
- 18:40damage and you see blood poor from their collarbone and start
- 18:44to make the dark robes? They're wearing even darker
- 18:48stain. Expand.
- 18:52Thank you so much because almost gone.
- 18:54It's my turn. I think.
- 18:56Did you have anything else that is all for me?
- 18:59Okay. Thumbs up.
- 19:00And I'll shoots with a gun. Excellent 18.
- 19:05Yes. Hitting with 17 damage.
- 19:08Did they shoot this? Bellator the gun, the gun right
- 19:11hitting 417 damage hits. One of the eyes the bullet comes
- 19:15out the other side actually. Grazes the Zealot causing one
- 19:18damage and the whole thing falls to the ground shakes and the
- 19:27zealots starts to cry over the body, no party.

- 24:41you're looking for. What Jay, please, welcome
- 24:43expert. But but I got an idea and I take
- 24:48out my tile and I go. Hey, Sloan baby, you'll are.
- 24:53There you are. Hey, listen.
- 24:56Shit, got real crazy down here. We just like terminated a
- 25:00Terminator type style, big gun metal thing, and there seems to
- 25:06be some sort of Church of the 13, some crazy cold thing, I'm
- 25:11hungry. Yeah.
- 25:11Yeah, they said that the last thing last thing they said
- 25:14before they died was their church outside of the city,
- 25:18whatever you do a little look-see moon for me, don't go
- 25:20too far. Don't go too far.
- 25:21I don't want you getting And then you see Sloan just through
- 25:26the viewfinder just fly like they kind of get what you mean
- 25:30and they fly just outside the city walls and they're just
- 25:32outside the city walls near the junkyard where you've been
- 25:35before. Is a big Warehouse with a see a
- 25:38line and a 3 on top. But that's it, that's it.
- 25:46I still don't get too close. All right, I don't want you
- 25:48getting shot down or nothing. Look my 16.
- 25:51And deductions says, you're probably right.
- 25:54We'll take a look. You guys want to see here?
- 25:55It's on, it's on my town. Come huddle around, you know,
- 25:58leper watching the YouTube video and you see this Warehouse out
- 26:03on a dirt road. Just outside the city walls.
- 26:08Hey, no, latency listeners, it's spoon.
- 26:14I play Jeb here on no latency, but I also produce the brand new
- 26:17show system switch, and it's called systems which because
- 26:20every few episodes we take our same beloved characters and
- 26:23throw them into a completely new universe in the form of a new
- 26:27role. Playing game.
- 26:28Will go from steampunk to cyberpunk from fantasy, to
- 26:32sci-fi from romantic comedy too. Dark comedy from D, and D 2 Call
- 26:36of Cthulhu and everything in between.
- 26:38Ween. So join us on our wrong, through
- 26:40the Multiverse by searching for system, switch on your favorite
- 26:43podcasting app. So we're going to stand out.
- 26:58Aren't we the minute we get there?
- 27:01We probably should have taken some robes.
- 27:03Yeah, I just thought about that. We should we should write calm
- 27:08this. What we are talking about that
- 27:17right now. Why doesn't she have just use
- 27:20his Auntie's? I think you forgot how to turn
- 27:22it on. You're right.
- 27:31Maybe we can stop somewhere. Is there like a like a ropes
- 27:36are? Uh, Sir something like
- 27:37somewhere, we can go cultists local store.
- 27:45I'm sure they'll be something outside and as you get close to
- 27:49this building in front of you, it's a big gray boring Warehouse
- 27:54as a whole, right outside of the building with a glowing sea and
- 27:58a 3 as a hologram and it's glitching around it in every
- 28:02now. And again, swear you can see the
- 28:05engram Flash. For like half a second and there
- 28:08are a bunch of crates and boxes outside and a bus with c-line
- 28:13three painted on the side of it. That's been parked haphazardly
- 28:17in front of the building. The trunk is open.
- 28:20That's ominous 9. If anything happens to this
- 28:24back, you let me know immediately, you know my number.
- 28:29Yes yes yes yes. Yeah, good stuff call it.
- 28:33Anything happens is back coming, brat out.
- 28:35Okay. I swear to God, if you call, if
- 28:38you cry wolf. No horn, thank you, that's the
- 28:55one. All right.
- 29:01It's fine. If you hide the bike around the
- 29:05corner at that as the building and as you what parts, the bus,
- 29:09everybody's standing at the back of it here, the front, I'll look
- 29:13in the trunk. All right, retro as you lean in,
- 29:16there are a bunch of robes and some discarded cables and scrap.
- 29:19Okay, well sure, I'll take this crap about 15.
- 29:23It's all mine pieces. Leave the robes that we very
- 29:25specifically asked for leave that behind, what did find some
- 29:28robes? What I mean, You know, that has
- 29:32its own potential for being problems.
- 29:34I mean, we could think of another way of getting in oh
- 29:37well hold on hold on they did there is literally a fire,
- 29:41right? So so they're like expecting
- 29:43guests, who would not have rope so we could just walk in and be
- 29:48like, hey, we're here for the meeting.
- 29:51We heard your, you know, we heard this cult things, pretty
- 29:54cool. We're just wondering how we can
- 29:55just talk like that, Zealot and just talk about the child and
- 30:02The 13 or whatever. We just I think we can I think
- 30:05we could do it. I'm the child.
- 30:08Wait I've got an idea. I think we're going to need some
- 30:10sort of Plan B if all hell breaks loose because in my
- 30:15experience shit tends to hit the fan around halfway through plan,
- 30:23a so that's usually a good time to switch over to plan B.
- 30:26You taking notes they're busy. Yes.
- 30:28Yes, the board. So plan a usually works for you
- 30:32know it 25 to 50% and then it usually breaks down and then we
- 30:38got to move to plan B. So I think we should have plan b
- 30:42or we have maybe two of us that aren't.
- 30:45So great at the whole talking thing, retro and uvv.
- 30:52Will go up top on total. Scale the building, get up on
- 30:56top and try to find some way into the building.
- 31:00Mm, and then us that are real good at talking Iona that you
- 31:04got me into this out. But how we gonna get on the
- 31:07roof? And this is typically why I plan
- 31:10a well I apart. Now there you go.
- 31:12This is very I like this idea was good.
- 31:22Yeah, I mean, you know, the pincer approach works but I mean
- 31:27we can all just be like yeah, that was it.
- 31:29The Child the child, the infant, the child, the child, I mean, of
- 31:34worst of anything jab, maybe one of us, just hide inside one of
- 31:37these crates and crawls around. And underneath that exclamation,
- 31:42Jeb gets excited at the sight of anything.
- 31:46Stealth, so Jeb you wait outside and we'll go in and pretend to
- 31:49be people Cleburne see, I'm just hoping that, you know, if they
- 31:54if they ever, you know, find out about us or something, it'd be
- 31:58nice to have a have some A sort of surprise element, so that all
- 32:03of our eggs aren't in one metaphor.
- 32:04I get it. Yes, it's not Easter television,
- 32:06but I understand the metaphor. So, all of our candy in one
- 32:09metaphorical pillow cakes, and we go, that's much better.
- 32:12There it is. Hi everyone.
- 32:14Should we go in? Yeah, the child right?
- 32:17Up a child into a box. Located.
- 32:20In this open. Do you feel this very clean
- 32:29looking for Do you? And it's a little ratty here and
- 32:33there, there's a bit of graffiti in the corner, but it smells
- 32:36like bleach in here. It's immediately obvious and
- 32:39very faintly on the ground, there's some text, and if you
- 32:42look more carefully, you might be able to work it out and
- 32:44there's a door to the east, a daughter, North, and a door to
- 32:47the South. Well, that's symbol looks very
- 32:50familiar. Yeah.
- 32:52Like the one outside also, Bend in the rain.
- 33:01Being in a box Deb. You can't move in the Box.
- 33:06This isn't Metal Gear. It doesn't actually work in the
- 33:08real world. Do you know what?
- 33:11It tem ruin of cool. How dare you not with us?
- 33:17That's here. I mean if he wants to walk
- 33:21around in a book, do you do anything else?
- 33:24I will check the door to my immediate, right?
- 33:28Okay, it's open. I walk on in.
- 33:33Okay, it's confident as if I was walking into a workshop.

- 33:44front of you standing. Proud is someone dressed in
- 33:49robes, you recognize, welcome. Are you here for the child?

- 34:49Hmm, let's see. I can tell Well, the see it
- 34:51goes, all the co was here at the start, he found the child in the
- 34:57junkyard beyond the place of birth.

- 36:16I totally feel like, Jeff might be like a hundred.
- 36:18Do you know? Yeah, so you pick up this box
- 36:23has actually way lighter than you expected.
- 36:25The Box itself was made out of like a light polycarbonate, so
- 36:28it's light in itself and you pick up jab and he starts to
- 36:31move around. It's like trying to Wrangle a
- 36:33cat in a box. It's a bit tough mom.
- 36:35Looking for some reason though as you're doing this as you're
- 36:38holding this box you kind of remember for some reason but a
- 36:42cat in a box is really important and then you shake off the
- 36:44memory. That was weird.

- 37:29this a bunch of boxes, there's a pile of dead bodies and there's
- 37:32a hand crawling all over it. You can see that one over there.

- 38:48a gun. One has pincers on it, it jumps
- 38:51towards you and screams. You got what do you say?

- 40:11You can't tell me how to shut it down.
- 40:15Fort great and I hang up. Stranger says bullets go.
- 40:24So let's go when the child of domino, jumped out and screamed
- 40:28at us. I chucked the box with Jeb
- 40:30directly at the first Zelo, because I got freaked out by
- 40:36excellent. So that's Ella gets thrown.
- 40:39We have checked against some boxes and Jabbar, you fall on
- 40:43top of this guy, what do you do? I just like that.
- 40:47It opens up in Jets. Rolls out and different screens
- 40:53scrambles and grabs both the guns and then just looks around
- 40:57and go. Always shit.

- 41:45trips on the ground Falls over at the piece of Flesh.
- 41:48Looks up at the vending. A machine as the mouth shop.
- 41:55Throws himself into the mouth and gets chewed up blood first
- 41:59everywhere, as its body gets torn in half a leg falls down,
- 42:03it does not I spanked lycians glow from around.
- 42:08The body is pulled through and sucked into the vending machine
- 42:12and the anger among that floats in front of its face shimmers
- 42:17and intensifies and returns back to its regular.
- 42:22Oh my Wow! I shoot my lucky gun.
- 42:27She 1717 correct. 17 the vending machine.
- 42:34You hit the vending machine for 14 damage.
- 42:36It takes it heartily and you crack the screen and a huge
- 42:40crack. There's across this red screen
- 42:42with the words error flashing, and it starts to crackle and let
- 42:47off steam. Its limbs move disconcertingly
- 42:51towards the seeker and the Seeker opens up His arm, he
- 43:00falls backwards, and this machine also gets this sell out
- 43:04in front of you. As visceral gets blasted across
- 43:08the ground. I own a roll of plastic, I don't
- 43:11wanna get hit by this Blood. I am both curious and concerned
- 43:17about how this whole cult thing started.

- 43:28Two bodies as payment and has yet to dispense any kind of
- 43:31materials. Iona, you take a, you take a
- 43:34sidestep. Then Del steps in front of you
- 43:36and gets a little bit of blood on them, but most of it hits
- 43:39Retro Retro. Your left side is covered in
- 43:41blood and pus Arena. Well, that's just fucking great.
- 43:44And in this Stillness of battle, the creature reels back and

- 44:18Zealot stuck in my mouth. I will caveat.
- 44:21This weapon says, if anyone has built-in ear protection It does
- 44:27not affect you that is so I owner you hear the scream and it

- 45:05out? Yes.
- 45:06Is this? I point to the grenade.
- 45:08Is this an EMP? Yes, that is me.
- 45:14The vending machine is like crashing towards these Frozen
- 45:16people. I pick it up and I throw it into
- 45:20the mouth of the vending machine.
- 45:22I jumped through doors to get as far as I can from that fucking
- 45:25thing. Yeah, retro you have to jump
- 45:28over this moment because you have a TV for a head.
- 45:31I only use for August EMP, grenade into the room.
- 45:35The vending machine opens its mouth to try and scream again.
- 45:38It takes four steps backwards. It's, and it's right between
- 45:41these two other beasts. The EMP grenade goes off.
- 45:44And the room fills with light and are all the electricity in
- 45:49the corner that's plugged into computers, prize.
- 45:51It Fizzles, there's a huge bang and all three of them explode.
