Last time on no latency. I don't think that we
0:05
necessarily need to go in with guns of blazing makes sense.
0:08
Taking him in a way or like to the police.
0:10
I don't know. To that guy, that was.
0:12
For hire detective. It's Halloween.
0:14
Honesty and directness are probably the best policy.
0:17
A major suit straight. Ripper, Rudy.
0:20
Well, Remy does drugs. Excuse me?
0:23
I'm next and this is my. Entourage best friend.
0:27
Did you happen to install Cyber Cyber?
0:30
Fangs wovers and a sudden division is what he said.
0:35
Mass murderer comes walking through.
0:37
Oh. Whoop, how?
0:38
Yeah, fuck you, Sparkle. I have been to his apartment.
0:40
You've been to his apartment. I think we need to kill the
0:42
vampire. Here's your vulva Max back.
0:44
I did perform surgery on him. I'm on the sad.
0:46
Stealthy it is. I'll just pretend I'm here to
0:49
visit. I'll.
1:02
I'll knock. And then we'll be on the other
1:04
side of the door, like, you know, with our backs.
1:07
Yeah, up against the wall. OK, good, good.
1:09
I would like to, if possible, within the stealth roll that I
1:14
made, take a small piece of duct tape from my back and have it
1:19
palmed in my hand. Done.
1:22
So they don't know that Iona Vendell or you Jeb are outside.
1:28
So there is the potential for still having a covert option to
1:34
sneak in. Well, possibly.
1:37
Iona got a 20 for stealth hiding from the security camera.
1:42
However, Vendell did roll a fail, so 9.
1:50
I'm I'm, I'm going to stand next to VV.
1:52
It's just US 3. Right.
1:56
Well, obviously, yes, it is the doctor's assistant.
2:00
What is it? Your intern from the college
2:04
forgetting the college experience.
2:05
What is that term that they say all the time?
2:09
Intern. Is that what it is?
2:11
I swear there was another. Term.
2:13
There is another term. I know there's something that
2:19
that like students do like I forget what it's called, but I
2:22
know it. Medical students.
2:23
Variants. No, like medical students do
2:25
like a thing where they have to go a residency.
2:28
Residency. Residency is president, yes.
2:31
That's right. After you've graduated.
2:33
We're very. Confident about this?
2:35
Yes. Well, it it doesn't matter
2:38
really. What we need to do is confront
2:46
Dr. Glass, and that's what I'm going to do.
2:51
Vivi just walks up. You knock on the door.
2:57
I will Retro will stand to the side to let both of them in,
3:03
holding the doorway with their left hand.
3:08
Would they have palmed the piece of duct tape, hopefully aiming
3:12
to cover over the locking mechanism?
3:16
Oh, interesting. Oh yeah, sure.
3:18
Roll something to do that. That's very cool.
3:21
I like that. I'm gonna go with this one. 19
3:28
Yes, very, very, very. What's the word?
3:36
Quietly, Very, very quietly. You place this duct tape over
3:42
the lock and if no one forces it, it'll stay open.
3:47
That's what I'm hoping for. OK.
3:50
People, please just go on in as a as a gentleman, I would be the
3:54
remiss not to be the last one to go.
3:58
Of course, I'll go first. I'm just.
4:02
Going to I'm just going to stay back here.
4:05
And Bendel and Vivi scooch into the room, followed by Retro.
4:11
Doctor Glass is lounging on a sofa.
4:16
You can see the red sky and mist of Night City behind you as the
4:20
moonlight basks through the window.
4:23
He smiles, his fangs sharp. I was wondering when you'd show
4:30
up. You look different.
4:35
Indeed, you're holding out on me, aren't you?
4:43
I don't know if that's the terminology I would use.
4:46
Perhaps you were holding out on the rest of us of what you
4:52
actually were planning. I have always been jealous and
5:01
petty, and however much I've had all of these riches, I've never
5:06
been able to add metal through myself.
5:11
He flashes his claws out and they retract back into his hand.
5:15
But now, like Wolverine or like Sabretooth?
5:19
Sabretooth. OK, good, important distinction.
5:24
These are wolvers, so they come out there.
5:27
Yep. I thought I'd never know what it
5:30
felt like to be more than human. And now, thanks to the blood of
5:37
that dead man, I might live forever and watch you turn to
5:44
dust. I I don't understand why.
5:50
Why were you doing all of this? I thought you were trying to.
5:55
I thought you were trying to help people.
5:58
I was well, it made me money. You do it for long enough and
6:03
you have so much, and the one thing money couldn't buy was
6:09
augmentation until I found your little runaway.
6:18
That substance is wild. Makes you hungry though.
6:24
Yeah. Yeah, it does.
6:27
I dare say he does seem to be acting like he's been smoking
6:31
some of that. What are the kids calling it
6:34
now? The ganja?
6:36
The wacky? The backy.
6:37
Okie, Dokie. He's just gone full super
6:40
villain is really what it is. I am quite intrigued by all
6:45
these cyber kinetics that are on.
6:50
So being a technician of myself, would you mind if I could see
6:55
such amenities up close? Up close?
7:00
Why yes, I would love to see how you were able to do that.
7:03
To me. Are you saying that you would
7:08
hurt someone like myself, Sir? I'm saying I've eaten in a few
7:14
hours. So that's a general threat then?
7:18
That's up to you. I'll take my chances, please.
7:23
Please. I mean if you are too scared to
7:26
allow me to take a look, I could completely understand if you had
7:31
some shoddy type of connections and would be embarrassed.
7:37
No, I found a good Ripper duck. I met him.
7:42
He's not as good as you think. Feels good to me.
7:48
Well, it feels good because he convinced your brain because
7:51
it's cybernetically enhanced. So it tells you that it is when
7:53
it's not. I mean, if you knew how to do it
7:58
yourself, obviously you would see the shoddy work of it.
8:00
But I mean, it's up to you. Believe it, I am a medical
8:03
professional. Obviously not that well,
8:07
interesting. If you're afraid to let me see
8:10
the handiwork. I can understand.
8:12
It's a common tactic that people that are self-conscious of their
8:15
own work wouldn't want them to see.
8:17
I I get it. Real persuasion.
8:24
You you guys, I'm I'm just hanging out back here, but if
8:27
you all need me, you just you just tell me in OK?
8:30
It's all right. I'm.
8:32
I'm back here too. I'm just behind the vending
8:34
machine. Oh.
8:35
My God, didn't even see you back there.
8:37
I. I know I'm, I'm really stealthy
8:39
today, but it, it's, it's our arm, we're around.
8:43
The corner real quick. Just take a look.
8:44
OK, All right, All right. I'm, I'm over here.
8:48
OK, well, should we go up with some sort of sneaky plan or?
8:53
My engine pro perception. Oh, hold on, you smell that?
8:59
Wait, wait. No, I don't my.
9:02
My fucking possession. 19 Yes, you discover on the wall over to
9:13
your E, there is a vent not not a breeze.
9:22
Gotta go take a look. Oh, would you look at that?
9:25
What is it? A van.
9:27
A vent. Yeah, a van.
9:29
What do you think? I'd open open it up.
9:31
Yeah, Well, yeah. Can you hear?
9:33
Well, listen, can you hear them talking?
9:35
Does it go to Doctor Glass's apartment?
9:39
Well, it has to. Is there's the only one on this
9:41
floor? Yes.
9:43
You're right. I'm I'm going in, I'm going to
9:44
try to, I'm going to open this up as as as non squeakily as
9:48
possible. Oh, oh, I'm actually going to
9:50
run over there. Oh, and.
9:53
Roll stuff. Careful, careful iota. 18.
10:00
Oh. Yeah.
10:02
All right, so you switch across, I'm going to, I'm going to run
10:06
over there and I'm actually, I'm going to squirt some sanitizer
10:12
on them to Lube them up. Question mark.
10:15
Question mark. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you can Lube
10:17
Jeb Romeo D10. Great. 5.
10:29
Yes, you pass, Jeb. You are.
10:34
You are lubed. All right.
10:36
I'm just going to just going to open this up real slow like.
10:42
Get plus one to this. Where is my steel throw?
10:49
Is it under body? Yes, it is.
10:53
Yes, you unlock. Bent all right, let me let me
10:59
just let me get in here. I'm going to take a look and
11:02
then you come in after me once I once I see the ghost clear
11:06
sounds. Great, I walked out here for
11:09
now. Oh, there's a fork in the.
11:12
Oh, look. Oh, I couldn't come over here.
11:14
I could have seen you in the in the other room from this angle.
11:18
Well, that's good to know. There's nothing.
11:20
There's nothing down that way. But of this.
11:23
Oh, looks like there's another door, another, another hatch.
11:31
I'm just going to open this one. I think we're on that time.
11:33
Things are getting tense by the sound of this villain dialogue
11:37
villain monologue going on over there.
11:40
OK, I I'm going to squirt the latex gloves on my hands and
11:44
then I'm going to follow Jeddah. Oh wow, Iona's going an event.
11:49
I know, I know. It's a little musty in here.
11:52
You might want to put a mask on. OK, pull out a mask.
11:58
I'm not even going to argue whether you have one on you,
12:00
because it's Iona. OK, just.
12:05
And I just kind of crawl out and like slowly lower myself down on
12:10
the other side. I think this might be some sort
12:15
of oh Fisher oh, is this a is it a bed?
12:19
That's a bed I. Think we're in his bedroom?
12:24
Getting out of the way. Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry.
12:25
We're taking it all in. Is that a record player?
12:28
Oh, it's kind of nice. What?
12:30
What? What records he got?
12:34
Check his record collection and it is.
12:36
Also it is. Distracted as hell.
12:39
B and CTM music. Oh my God, the the boggles,
12:46
like, oh, look at this. They got, he's got.
12:50
Oh, well, all right. You know, not a lot of people
12:52
have heard of ancient dynasty. They ain't bad.
12:58
The only record that seems interesting to.
13:02
By Michael Jackson. No, there is a thriller sleeve
13:07
but no record. However you do find radar love
13:12
like golden era. Nice.
13:16
Radar Love by Gold Night. Hey, actually he's in pretty
13:19
good shape for being, what, probably 80 years old?
13:23
90 years old. He's very rich.
13:27
So you have discovered a very expensive record.
13:31
I will say it is fragile. So if you, if you have to tell
13:34
me if you're taking it or leaving it.
13:36
Oh, that never crossed Jeb's mind.
13:38
Is to. Is to to.
13:43
Just take it. He's just like.
13:44
No, that's pretty cool. Nice collection you got here.
13:46
Puts it back. I am a.
13:49
Lot good for him. Behind Jeb while he goes through
13:52
Doctor Glass's record collection.
13:55
It's is there any sort of computer or anything in this
13:59
room? There's a locked door to your
14:00
West. To the north there is a door
14:03
that leads to the balcony. There is a there is a a desk
14:09
with a built in computer in it, a closet and a bed all.
14:15
Right, I'm notoriously bad with computers, but Jeb, there is a
14:19
computer over here if. Oh.
14:22
Maybe you wanted to take a look at it.
14:23
I'm going to try this locked door.
14:25
Well, I I guess I could. Oh.
14:29
I don't know, I'm not really a computer guy myself, but I have
14:33
been trying to pay more attention to to what Retro's
14:36
been doing. Can't hurt, you know.
14:41
Couldn't. Hurt couldn't hurt in in the.
14:44
Least. He says as it surely will hurt.
14:50
You know what I feel like this is a pretty let me just think
14:55
here, what would Retro do? I feel like I would just take a
15:00
look at this basic tech and see what he can find out. 5 Which
15:05
button do I use to turn it on? You try and push a button and
15:11
unfortunately break the button and now the computer is harder
15:14
to use. Oh, man, these are, oh man, he,
15:18
he. This looks like a nice keyboard.
15:19
It's probably one of them mechanical ones.
15:21
And oh, he ain't going to be happy about that.
15:26
Well, well, maybe, maybe we should switch jobs because I I
15:30
just tried to unlock this and I did somehow roll -2.
15:36
Oh, out. That's a quick fail, yeah.
15:40
You can't be using. I can't use a toothpick.
15:43
Well, but a tooth, That's something.
15:45
I. Had.
15:46
Oh jeez. Retro Back in the other room,
15:51
Retro is walking across the room towards Doctor Glass.
15:54
That's part of the end of that conversation.
15:56
As you are walking towards it, you hear the door to your east
16:00
rattle and if you don't do something, Doctor Glass will
16:05
notice. I'm just going to keep keep his
16:09
eyes on me is the best thing. What is?
16:11
What is Doctor Glass wearing, actually?
16:14
Doctor Glass is wearing a long white trench coat.
16:18
Like a doctor's coat, but just as a trench coat.
16:21
Yeah, he looks like that. Oh, long white trench coat.
16:26
Well, long white medical trench coat.
16:29
Yes, green shirt, fuchsia tie. Fuchsia.
16:34
Tie, sunglasses, great pants with yellow stripes on them and
16:40
some pretty boring shoes. Not very fashionable for a
16:44
vampire. Have you said anything about
16:47
vampires? I.
16:48
Mean, I thought you were going that with your little tooth
16:51
problem. You've got there are you?
16:54
I mean, I, I, I can forgo checking over you if you, like I
16:58
said, you are too embarrassed by your obvious, you know,
17:04
ramshackle connections. Have you even looked over
17:06
yourself yet? Oh please roll something to
17:11
distract me from that door. I mean, obviously we, I can
17:18
already tell that part right there is miswired because I can
17:21
see slight sparking from it and obviously you must be ignoring
17:26
it because anybody can obviously hear it.
17:28
No, no, no, you don't understand.
17:31
It's not sparking, it's sparkling.
17:36
Spark. Well, I would need to inspect
17:39
that. He's one of those sparklers.
17:44
It's unfortunate. You can really tell at this time
17:48
of night, you know the twilight. Thank you.
17:56
Shut up. Don't put another.
17:59
I I just was watching on it so we.
18:02
Can't let him keep getting away with this.
18:08
Retro, you have successfully distracted Dr. Glass from the
18:12
door. What are you trying to do as you
18:14
get close to him? I just want to inspect his his
18:19
hand without, well, not only his handiwork, but the Ripper Dr.
18:24
and just kind of give him a look over.
18:26
Is that OK? You're all Persuasion 22.
18:35
He doesn't move, his two arms outstretched on either side of
18:39
the sofa. He continues to sit.
18:43
I'll just continue. I would just like to like open
18:45
up jacket see if like is there any other cyberwear I can like
18:49
kind of see that speaking out of any clothing Like what cyber
18:52
wear do I see? You rolled 31, so the you see
18:56
that in his trousers there's a slight indent where he's got
19:02
some kind of compartment in his leg.
19:05
Like the Volvo we found before? Yeah.
19:07
Gotcha. A bit like Mark Zeiger had when
19:13
he pulled a gun on Jeb. I'm.
19:15
Just going to like parse away kind of like peeking under like
19:19
at some of the clothing like this, his shirt like pull back
19:23
his collar a bit and you know, notice.
19:25
The distinctive metal housing around the back of his neck of
19:29
the sand division. As you get closer to it, his
19:32
emotions rise and you see it glow and pulse down his spine,
19:36
and he gives you a narrowed look.
19:39
Are you done? I'm.
19:42
Just do look. I'm just trying to do my best
19:47
and looking over. To be honest at the moment I'm
19:49
feeling somewhat embarrassed because I seem to be wrong.
19:53
It's so far looking pretty top notch.
19:56
Well, it feels fantastic. I I I would agree while he's
20:02
looking at me directly eye to eye contact wise and I've been
20:07
patting him down, I'd also like to sneak a incendiary grenade
20:12
into his pocket. OK.
20:15
You can try I. I pulled the pen already.
20:19
You can try, OK? You go to put it in his pocket,
20:23
and you swear his smile changes from one state to another in a
20:28
flash. It's like a a feeling of static
20:32
in the air and you look down at your hand and the grenade is in
20:36
your hand. Well, immediately throw it at
20:39
him. Do you hear that?
20:43
It sounds like maybe shit's about to go down.
20:47
Possibly. Should we rush out?
20:50
Did you hear like a like a Ting? You know, and and some like
20:54
buzzing, a little bit of buzzing.
20:56
A little bit of buzzing, a little bit of oh, oh not.
20:58
Twinkling. Yeah, but roll to break that
21:01
door open or unlock it, whatever you want to.
21:04
Do I imagine this is like the question I suppose is has the
21:10
has it, has the grenade exploded yet or not?
21:13
If it has, I'm busting it down. If it hasn't, then I'm going to
21:15
try to just like unlock it because I don't know what's
21:17
going on. Do you have open comms?
21:21
Are you hearing what's going on over the radio?
21:23
I did mention earlier I made fun of his villain monologue and so
21:27
I imagine yes open cause. So you know that you've just
21:31
heard retro say bullshit and then throw something.
21:35
Right. OK, OK.
21:36
And I'm like, oh, oh, all right, it's happening.
21:38
It's happening. Let go.
21:40
All right, I own myself. Athletics 18 yes you burst the
21:47
door open, boom it crashes open. It is.
21:51
It is also now you have you have Retro is standing right next to
21:56
Doctor Glass. Whoops.
21:58
In that small amount of time, Iona, before everything goes
22:02
down, as they say, did you do anything to the computer?
22:08
I'm going to say yes I did. I'm going to say I just tried to
22:11
restart it. Cool, yes that that happens.
22:15
His computer is very good, so it restarts fine.
22:17
Great. And then control alt delete.
22:21
You control alt delete. What are you trying to?
22:23
Do log in I suppose. Roll something for that.
22:28
Sure. Roll to see if you can guess his
22:32
mother's maiden name and his the name of his first pet.
22:37
Sure, I'm going to use deduction.
22:40
I am in his bedroom and there are pictures of his life around,
22:45
perhaps some documents. So I will deduce with a 21.
22:51
All of my all of my video game skills have told me that somehow
22:55
you can deduce the password of anybody if you're in their room.
23:01
You notice a very well kept photograph on the table.
23:06
And on the back. It is a framed photograph of a
23:10
woman. The photograph looks old because
23:13
of the fashion that it is in. This photograph was taken a long
23:17
time ago and underneath it a little metal plaque says the
23:21
word Wendy. Wendy I I type in Wendy.
23:27
We said. The E is a three though.
23:30
Yes, you are correct in doing that the that.
23:34
Wasn't deduction, that was just instinct.
23:36
There are there are a bunch of terribly organized files on the
23:39
desktop. He is very chaotic on his
23:42
computer. A lot of them are just
23:45
spreadsheets and invoices and various notes that make no
23:49
sense. However, there is a icon on the
23:51
desktop that says security. Security like click.
23:56
You click it and it tells you that three turrets are not
23:59
activated. Are not.
24:03
Currently. Is there a little cog in
24:08
settings where I can uninstall the software that the turrets
24:13
are connected to? Yes, yes.
24:15
There is, why not roll for it? Great.
24:21
I'm going to put some luck into it.
24:24
Great. I'm going to put three luck.
24:30
Sure. It's a 21 for education.
24:35
Does that include your +3? No 24. 2424 is defined inside
24:43
pagred as a incredible act. Well.
24:48
Done. Wow, that's literally.
24:49
Like a. Ceiling.
24:51
That is a very good role. Well done.
24:53
Yes, you managed to disable Roll Me AD 6.
25:04
Because you do not have a lot of time. 2.
25:07
All right, you managed to disable one of the turrets,
25:10
however you rolled so well it is the best turret.
25:13
Hell yeah. So you know that there are three
25:16
turrets somewhere in that room that are currently not
25:19
activated. And then you hear Jeb kick a
25:22
door open. Oh shit.
25:24
And. Then I really am throwing an
25:26
aid. Good.
25:28
It's kind of tinkle here and he's preaching and he's
25:31
clearing. I'm out of smoke grenades now.
25:36
So you throw a smoke grenade. All right, Retro, where do you
25:39
throw the incendiary grenade? In your hand.
25:42
I throw it underneath the couch. Oh, interesting, interesting.
25:49
All right, as well as try to roll myself backwards.
25:54
OK, roll evasion and brawling. Jeb.
25:58
Roll Brawling to throw your grenade.
26:00
OK. As you watch this cavalcade of
26:06
chaos happen before you, Vivi, you have anything to say before
26:10
you. Yeah, I just as this is all
26:16
happening, I look to Doctor Glass and I'm like, it didn't
26:21
have to be this way, but you chose.
26:25
You chose poorly. I'm sorry, Doctor Glass, this is
26:28
it. You chose.
26:30
You chose poorly. Chose violence.
26:34
It's time to die. So it's so nonchalant, by the
26:40
way, if you wouldn't mind. A cup of a Carpenter It's.
26:43
Time to die, motherfucker. OK, interesting.
26:47
And then. OK, OK, interesting.
26:56
Good. Yes.
26:58
It's never good when they see interesting.
27:00
Yeah, right. Remy rolled Invasion 16.
27:05
OK, and then you rolled 18 on Brawling.
27:12
OK, so retro. You step back from the sofa, but
27:16
not enough because you did not beat your own brawling.
27:20
You rolled an 18. Doctor Glass also did not roll
27:23
enough to avoid the incendiary grenade underneath the sofa.
27:29
However, they do have a sound division.
27:31
Yeah. So what happens is they do avoid
27:37
the direct blast, but get caught in the circumference of such an
27:44
explosion. Oh, the the force wave.
27:48
The force wave of this incendiary grenade as the sofa
27:51
itself bursts into flames. Oh boy.
27:55
Damn. Things are about to get crazy.
27:58
Both Retro and Doctor Glass are now on fire.
28:03
Oh no. And it is time to roll for
28:07
initiative. Initiative.
28:09
Initiative Night City.
28:26
If you look at a map of North America, somewhere on the
28:28
western edge you'd see an inky black dot with fingers pressing
28:32
into the side of the continent. That's where you find Night
28:34
City. And somewhere in the middle of
28:37
that inky black dot is a giant smoking hole, like the universe
28:41
itself drew iron and shot straight through the city.
28:44
Radiation turned the sky red. But our story starts a little
28:49
further South, in a dive bar the shortstop.
28:53
Welcome to Night City and welcome to Cyberpunk Edge of
28:56
Extinction. Infinite Sided Dice presents
29:01
Cyberpunk Edge of Extinction, a Cyberpunk Red actual play.
29:04
Watch now at youtube.com slash at Infinite Sided Dice catch you
29:10
later chums. Oh wow, Jeb.
29:26
Holy shit, yeah. Oh, I mean, Jeb also did throw
29:32
that smoke grenade. So then I.
29:34
Did. What results from that?
29:36
We'll get there, I'm sure. We'll get there.
29:40
And this explosion of fire goes off, it catches into the smoke
29:47
and you see this streak of red through the smoke that fills the
29:53
centre part of this room. So you see this cloud of smoke
29:58
in the Riddle middle of the room.
30:00
And it is in this moment as Jeb watches Retro and Doctor Glass
30:04
burn for incendiary. Ah, there we go inside of.
30:09
Bajillion damage. I don't think it's a lot OK
30:19
grenade. Just if you could just put the
30:26
the the damage of the grenade also in that, that would help.
30:33
Oh, for me. Are you talking to R Talsorian
30:35
right now? I'm.
30:36
Talking to Al Talsorian, right? Now to Mr. R Talsorian.
30:40
Yes. To Robert Talsorian.
30:46
Indeed it's. Well, the wiki sentence 66 and
30:52
two damage each round until put out.
30:54
Yep, thank you. However, it is partial for both
30:59
of you, so I'm going to say 3D6 OK, because you both did
31:02
partially get out of it. And the couch took the brunt of
31:05
it. The couch did take the brunt of
31:07
it, and it is now on fire. So there is now a problem.
31:10
A flaming couch. Yeah, there is a flaming red
31:13
couch. Couch is red.
31:15
That way the blood stains don't have a problem.
31:19
OK, nine damage for Doctor Glass and he is now on fire.
31:26
That's the same for me as well, yeah.
31:28
No, you roll your own. Oh, oh God.
31:31
Oh God, this is 13 damage. And your armour, because it is
31:35
fire, it's ablated by two. So it's Doctor Glasses, by the
31:38
way. Fuck.
31:41
And and it is gemstone. Jay was going to, you know,
31:49
after buffing down the door, throwing that smoke grenade over
31:52
there. He's going to just run over.
31:54
He's going to, there's this table here.
31:58
Can I can I kick that down to use this cover?
32:01
Yes, but only if you roll athletics.
32:03
OK, I guess I can do that. Oh no, you cannot.
32:07
You're trying maybe? It's it's a very flab of.
32:11
Concrete mixture of both and you go to lift it up and it does
32:15
nothing. The unfortunate the unfortunate
32:18
side effect of this is that you do not gain any cover and you
32:21
hurt yourself by touching this concrete table very quickly for
32:24
six damage. Oh.
32:25
Mate, oh so good. Oh man, got to sprain my ankle.
32:29
They're trying to kick this thing.
32:30
Where? Who's this thing made out of
32:32
solid concrete? Oh shit, it is.
32:35
Yeah, no, that's made of solid. You can tell because of the
32:37
texture and the way it looks and the fact that it is Gray.
32:39
Yeah, OK. I there, there's a lot going on
32:41
right now, Van Dale. I don't need to hear from you.
32:43
Bang Bang. Who are you shooting?
32:45
Oh, him I see. Roll for it.
32:50
Bang Bang, Bang Bang, Doctor. Glass F8.
32:55
Damn. Getting hit the first hit by the
32:58
1st bullet because you rolled a 25 and a 28?
33:02
Holy Moly tries to avoid both, but unfortunately takes hits
33:08
your first. Your first shot does hurt him,
33:13
he takes a decent hit. You watch some of the blood pour
33:17
from his side as the embers of the fire around his body starts
33:21
to dwindle as he gets to a position of about to roll over.
33:25
However, your second shot does not 'cause enough damage and it
33:28
glints off some of his armor doing nothing.
33:32
Well, sheer. Who is this guy?
33:34
Fucking immortal or some bullshit.
33:36
He has a lot of cyberwear and SN devaston, so we we should
33:43
probably think of some other strategies.
33:46
He's pretty good. Are you OK Retro?
33:50
Retro is currently on fire. Stop, drop and roll.
33:54
Oh that's why I asked to roll back because I was pretty sure I
33:59
was kept on fire. But we'll see how the DF rolls
34:02
it. I'm going to tell you all I have
34:05
to now roll to see if the next thing that happens can happen.
34:08
Oh, it can't. That's a one.
34:11
It's a one with a -, 7 So because of the fire that's
34:15
happening, you watch him try and reach into his pocket to grab
34:18
something and he is unable to. You have a suspicion that he had
34:22
some aid in mind that he does not have the ability to activate
34:26
right now and it is Metroster. Well first I would like to ask,
34:37
did my saying I was rolling back after that count as being able
34:45
to help put out the fire when that happens or do I still need
34:48
to do that? Like putting out the fire, does
34:51
that require my action? It requires your movement
34:54
because I would argue if you burn all of your movement I will
34:56
let you put the fire out. Be warned, if you agree to this
34:59
I will give that same thing to any NPC.
35:01
OK, your movement wise, I just have to burn it all, that's all
35:08
right. Yeah, you burn you.
35:10
You will move one square away from the fire in order to do so,
35:13
but you will burn it all. Yes.
35:14
OK, so I can only move one square.
35:16
Yes. All right, I will use that to
35:19
roll my ass to behind the the couch here.
35:24
Because there are three couches in this living room.
35:27
The one that was next to the on fire because I just moved
35:31
diagonally. And now that you have rolled the
35:34
fire off yourself, you pat yourself down and you are merely
35:37
singed. You do not take any more damage
35:39
because that was the first thing you did on your turn.
35:43
We fucked up my suit though. Yes, yes it did.
35:46
Luckily it's not your regular wear.
35:47
No, it's not my really good suit.
35:49
Though no it is not. It is costume piece.
35:52
Yeah, and the fun's over now. That's why I'm not using the
35:54
voice anymore. Unfortunately.
35:58
If there's something else, then I'm just going to have to take a
36:01
shot. 23 All right, let's have a look.
36:06
See I. Think that's within range?
36:08
Yep, and OH tries to dodge and fails, jumps up onto the dining
36:19
table, but you still manage to hit him for 16 damage, which is
36:25
enough and he takes a decent hit.
36:27
Well, well, I have to give credit to Jeb about that because
36:32
Jeb has been, as I've been teaching him some technological
36:35
stuff, Jeb has also been teaching me to track somebody
36:41
moving, moving and try to shoot ahead of where you think they're
36:45
going to be. Now usually the bullet moves
36:49
pretty fast, but with slow moving, slower moving
36:53
projectiles, you're going to want to leave that shot.
36:56
This is a This is a flashback of us shooting cans on a conveyor
37:01
belt and an abandoned like, sushi restaurant, you know, that
37:06
has the little thing that goes around.
37:08
That's a basic. I remember that place, it was
37:11
really good before they closed down for health violations.
37:14
And while Jeb and Retro reminisce about shooting cans in
37:18
Night City, Iona is sitting at the doorway to Doctor Glass's
37:25
bedroom, peering out to the battle that's ensuing.
37:29
What do you do, Iona? Doctor Glass is unaware that I
37:35
am there. I'm.
37:38
Going to say yes. They are unaware that you are
37:40
there. Great.
37:42
I'm going to shoot at him because I think that I should
37:48
get some sort of sneak attack bonus or something.
37:51
You are quite far away from him. He's in.
37:54
He's in the middle of the room in front of you.
37:56
In order to get a decent shot, you'd have to slide into the
38:00
room a little bit. I'll slide into the room a
38:02
little bit and I'll take my shot.
38:04
Cool, I'm going to take this as a surprise attack.
38:08
Your move is 6. Great.
38:15
Yeah, you, you managed to get behind the sofa next to VV
38:18
passing Vendel and you have a clear shot.
38:20
That's only 25 feet. How does 21 do for you?
38:27
21 does the chestnut what? What are you shooting?
38:31
It's the one with 46 I believe. That's the Super Chrome.
38:34
Yeah, you rolled a 21. That is enough.
38:36
You you hit him as long as he doesn't evade.
38:40
Fingers crossed. Don't evade, Don't evade, don't
38:42
evade. He pulls back off the table.
38:47
Roll damage. Great shot Iona 46.
38:52
Great. Oh yeah, OK, that is 15 plus
39:00
handgun. I don't know what my handgun is.
39:04
No, no damage is just straight D sixes.
39:06
Oh yeah, never mind, that's 15. 15 did you get 2 sixes?
39:11
I did. You did.
39:13
I did. That is a critical injury,
39:16
everybody. Nice, get him. 2D6.
39:23
I've got that stand a busy. A3 and A58.
39:26
You watch him fall to the ground and as he tries to break his own
39:30
fall his leg goes down weird and you hear a snap in his lower
39:36
femur and he lies on the ground like.
39:44
Great show ad. Told you some of that shit was
39:47
shoddy. And Supercrumb only shoots once.
39:52
Yep. And so Vivi, right next to you,
39:55
takes her action. Oh boy.
40:00
Well, I suppose I'm also going to take a shot at him.
40:04
I hope it lands because he's going to be fast and speedy.
40:08
But now he has a broken leg, so good job Iona.
40:13
Thank you, thank you. I don't usually make my shots,
40:15
so that felt good. All right, I'm going to shoot.
40:19
Pull out this Andrew. Hello Cutie Ultricate assault
40:22
pistol and take the shot. 21 Your damage, as always, is
40:32
pants. I'm really sorry.
40:34
I know. He attempts to roll.
40:37
Now, the only reason he's able to do this with a broken leg is
40:39
because he has a sand division, so he attempts to roll sideways
40:43
to avoid the bullet rolling a 23.
40:46
The bullet flies past him and hits the glass behind him.
40:49
It shatters into a spider as your bullet sticks into the
40:53
bulletproof glass. You can shoot twice with that
40:57
gun. I can.
40:59
Let's try again. 21 again, great shot, really good, better damage
41:05
too. He goes to avoid rolling a 17.
41:08
He doesn't quite get it right, he gets hit in the side. 49
41:12
damage which is above his armor and he does take damage.
41:21
Your shot is successful. Do you do anything else with
41:24
your turn because you still haven't moved?
41:27
There. Yeah.
41:28
I think I'm going to just move closer toward him, believe it or
41:32
not. Oh, right.
41:33
I don't know if I can vault over the I vault over the couch and
41:39
take a few steps toward him. Hell yeah, I'll just let you do
41:43
that. That's dope.
41:44
After then six after that successful bullet, you have the
41:47
confidence to lightly jump over a sofa and you're now standing
41:51
in the middle of the room pointing at him as he lies on
41:53
the ground. However, I.
41:57
Know. Doctor Glass's turn and he looks
42:02
up at you and with a grimace resets his leg.
42:09
You see blood pour into his trouser leg as it seeps in.
42:14
There's a cracking noise, this feeling of flesh.
42:28
The glass stands up and you see him place his foot down, and now
42:34
he can take all of his weight on both legs.
42:37
He somehow miraculously healed himself.
42:41
Oh. Shit.
42:45
As I told you, that blood was exquisite.
42:52
He flexes very suddenly and out some compartments on his legs,
42:57
ripping through his trousers. I will admit as he has now
43:01
rolled around on the ground enough to not be on fire. 3 tiny
43:09
robots. They flutter out of him and they
43:14
have little bat wings. I made them custom, I thought it
43:21
was fitting. Thematic.
43:24
Yeah, really leaning into the whole I guess vibe, huh?
43:31
Oh yes, it keeps. Quite corny actually.
43:36
He pulls out a dart gun and points it at Jeb, firing.
43:41
Oh shit. CBB when you when you mess
43:46
around with with that body fool bite, this is what happens.
43:50
This is how you get vampires. Is this what you wanted to get
43:52
vampires? No, this is not.
43:55
This is not what I wanted, no. Jab be at 15.
43:59
Puts a finger up. Folks confused, slightly happy.
44:03
And they had. Whoa shit.
44:06
What the hell was that? Was that a Was that a fucking
44:10
dart? What's in that dark?
44:12
Hey, you got to tell me what was in that dark.
44:15
No, just something to life in the mood.
44:18
I don't lie the way you said that.
44:19
It clinks in the ground and and breaks.
44:22
That's a little weird. The toxin inside seeps into the
44:26
ground and lets off a little hiss.
44:30
That so? So it was acid then?
44:35
Would somebody kill this guy please?
44:37
Dodge an 18 guys. I.
44:40
You're shooting me again. You just did that, man.
44:46
Come on. I'm going to.
44:47
I'm going to get below. I'm going to get on the
44:49
underside of this table and then it's going to be real hard to
44:51
hit me. Maybe you can jump over the side
44:56
of this couch. I'm standing next to you.
44:59
Then how will you feel? And then there's a green flash
45:03
and you see a gust of wind move through the room as you feel
45:07
that static in the air. He does, however, dash through
45:11
the smoke, and by doing so dissipates it completely.
45:16
For some of you, Doctor Glass is in full cover.
45:20
For others, he is not, and it is Fendel's turn.
45:24
Gang, I really think we're going to have to come up with a
45:27
different plan here. He's going to heal himself, and
45:30
this is not going to be as easy as we think.
45:33
He serves that. He's faster than us, he's
45:37
stronger than us. I don't, I don't know what to
45:40
do. Well, I mean, we could keep
45:45
shooting them or maybe we got to like.
45:51
We need some sort of. Fire.
45:52
We did that. We need some sort of like wombo
45:54
combo, something like we can do all at once.
45:59
Can we like RIP his head off or something?
46:01
That I've seen that work sometimes on vampires and other
46:05
times you got to get them right in the heart.
46:08
Other times flowing water sometimes will do it.
46:12
Garlic sometimes does it. Holy symbol.
46:15
Sometimes somehow I feel like that one ain't gonna work.
46:17
I like the Highlander approach. I like the head, like, is that
46:21
right? The Highlander approaches.
46:23
Yeah, you have. The person's head off to take
46:25
the. I I also like the head approach.
46:27
We take his head. BMI have a question when I
46:31
inspected said doctor beforehand, did I notice that
46:35
Like he was pretty like firm thought like like he had he was
46:40
much dense, he was very dense or did he still feel very human
46:44
esque like soft, fleshy? With the amount of cyberwear
46:48
that he had, you're surprised that he even has basic
46:52
cognizance. He's teetering on the edge of
46:56
cyber psychosis. I I think he's already fallen
46:59
over the edge of cyber. OK, I was just, I was trying to
47:05
figure out if this is our like dealing with, you know, the
47:09
like, more fantasy lore vampires where they're like very stout
47:13
and vulnerable, or if we're dealing with like done by Dusk
47:16
vampires where they're like squishier and like a baseball
47:20
bat could knock a head off. The sound division is made of
47:23
metal. It goes up his the back of his
47:27
neck. That's going to be tough to
47:29
breakthrough with a baseball bat.
47:30
Then that somebody rips it out. Yeah.
47:33
Unless somebody rips it out. Does that answer your question?
47:37
Yes, cool. What does Vendel do?
47:40
Well, I, I guess, do we think Vendel can grapple and somebody
47:45
can who's who's next in initiative?
47:48
Vendel. No, after Vendel.
47:51
Jeb. Jeb.
47:53
Sure, Vendel, why don't you grapple him and then we can RIP
48:00
the Sandovizian out of his neck. Do do you want me to take the
48:03
bat bots first or shall I go for him?
48:07
Oh yeah, kick down those bat bots, Yeah.
48:09
You got it. And then and then Dell jumps
48:12
across the room onto the table and goes to attack the bat bots
48:17
glass sword. We're just, we're just gonna do
48:19
brawling. We're just gonna do kicks.
48:21
Sure. That's going to be 22. 22.
48:25
Yes. Yes, that is very good.
48:28
I need you to roll that again. 19. 19 OK Oh, that's bad.
48:35
Oh, that's nothing. All right, so we we we have
48:39
three different kinds of things happen.
48:42
Bendel jumps over to where these bots are floating and in a
48:50
moment of skill misses one of them which scooches back towards
48:55
Doctor Glass. But the other one failed their
49:00
role and the third one rolled A crit fail.
49:04
So Vendel smacks them into each other causing oh that's really
49:11
good, that's OK and excellent. Yes very good.
49:17
That's enough to blow up one of them and one of them explodes.
49:21
The other one is blow half health and is now having trouble
49:23
flying. You watch it sort of, where as
49:26
it gets to a much lower hovering position.
49:29
Good job pindo fuck. Yeah, I did a thing.
49:34
He's a pretty Hardy motherfucker, yes.
49:37
I'm like 10 points away from seriously wounded.
49:42
Oh no. Well.
49:45
The 13 in a blast is not good. No, it's not.
49:49
And after this heroic moment, with Vendel now standing on the
49:53
dining room table, it is once again Jeb's turn.
49:58
Well, you know, I suppose we should get rid of the things
50:01
that we can get rid of before we figure out how to get rid of the
50:05
bigger guy who we're having trouble getting rid of.
50:07
So I'm going to Bang, Bang these two dual drones, yes.
50:10
Sure, roll for it. 28 and 24 they are robots so they don't
50:19
get to dodge and one of them has 11 health so it explodes.
50:27
Yep. Chip and you watch it disappear
50:29
from the field. The other one is still holding
50:31
on with just a little bit of health, again floating very low.
50:36
Well, at least you took care of one of them.
50:39
Someone should get rid of that last one. 2 down, one to go.
50:43
And it's retro step, yeah. I would like this is also right
50:49
here Is outside right? Or is that a wall about the that
50:52
is the inner balcony that is technically still inside the
50:54
building In front of you there's a a indoor piece of glass, a
50:59
decorative one on the other side.
51:00
It is shattered because VB shot it.
51:02
Oh, so I can't go through it? It's bulletproof.
51:05
You know that because VB's bullet didn't didn't break it to
51:08
the ground. It's just OK spidered.
51:11
I'm going to make my way to the window.
51:13
Make it your. Way I'm going to quit my brass
51:20
knuckle and then I'm going to pull my pants down over my ass
51:26
and moon the Doctor through the glass.
51:29
Oh my God, roll a performance check that's really funny.
51:35
That's not the only full moon you've seen tonight.
51:37
Oh my. God.
51:41
Did I do a funny? Was it good?
51:43
It was pretty good. Yeah, I'll give you that one.
51:45
Thanks, Jeff. I I guess acting this is only
51:47
acting in performance. Yeah, you, I mean also in
51:50
theory, contortionist. Oh yeah, let's go.
51:53
Fortunate because I got that shipped so I get a + 2 + 4.
52:00
That's still a 12. That's not bad.
52:02
It's literally above average, right?
52:05
That's not. It's.
52:09
Mildly distracted. It's a waxing moon, really.
52:12
It's a waxing moon and now what are you holding?
52:16
Your attack action? Is that what you're?
52:18
Doing yes I am. Iona, behind the sofa, takes a
52:21
moment to decide her next move. I mean, I've got him thoroughly
52:25
distracted. Guys, come on.
52:28
I got 2 pressed hands here that he cannot keep his eyes off of.
52:33
Yeah, you know what? I've I've been shooting him
52:35
pretty good, so I will. I'm actually going to hold my
52:41
shot. If he.
52:43
Turns around while then Dallas trying to grapple.
52:48
Done. Fair enough, Iona use skirt
52:51
across the room so you have a better angle at Doctor Glass.
52:53
Perfect off on the sofa. You couldn't quite see him very
52:56
well, and you use all your movement to do so, prepping your
52:59
gun against the edge of this dining room table, and Vivi
53:04
takes her action. Do I take out the second drone
53:08
here? All right, I'm going to take my
53:10
movement toward him. Excellent and I am going to try
53:22
to stun him. So I switched to I have AI have
53:31
a stun baton and a stun gun. I don't know where I got the
53:33
stun baton from. That's a long time ago.
53:36
Probably Chad. Probably I'm just trying to see
53:39
what does more. Which is more likely stun?
53:44
Gun you can do from a distance. Stun baton.
53:47
You'd have to get into melee range with this guy.
53:49
Yeah, that's kind of scary. I think I'll keep my distance
53:52
here and pull out my stun gun and try to shoot Tim Fair.
53:58
Roll for it 22 Holy shit damn holy moly you will accept.
54:03
That's really good. Oh, I I should draw it on the
54:06
sheet? I'm sure he'll somehow resist
54:09
this. Yeah, but it's got red fire too.
54:12
That's true. That's true.
54:13
That's. Bad.
54:18
It rolls in 18 trying to avoid you.
54:22
He steps wrong and gets hit by the Taser.
54:30
So you cause 7 electrical damage?
54:34
Cyberwear. What about cyberwear?
54:36
I'm actually going to say it causes more damage than your
54:38
average human. So instead of 3D6 I want you to
54:43
roll. Wow, Tracy, that's two threes
54:46
and A2. Damn, my damaged dice are always
54:50
shitty. Your damaged dice are always
54:52
shitty, however in this moment they are not going to be.
54:56
I would like you to roll two more D6 because he has a lot of
54:59
internal cyberweight, adding seven to that roll for a total
55:02
of 14 damage. It does not blade armor because
55:06
it is electrical damage. But you do do do do do.
55:12
But you do do do damage. But you do do damage, is what
55:16
I'm saying. You watch him go underneath half
55:19
health. You're a medical professional,
55:21
You know what that means? And he puts his hand down and
55:25
there's an errant scalpel from his very close operating area
55:29
here at the very top of his apartment, and it goes straight
55:32
through his hand. Fuck.
55:35
All right, he's not looking good.
55:37
Someone smash. Someone grab.
55:40
OK, I guess I can grab. Not too good at smashing.
55:45
You will get to grab when it's your turn, Jeb.
55:49
I'm just saying that I'll be the grab and not the smashing.
55:51
Right now, it is not your turn. It is Doctor Blase's turn.
55:55
And what he's going to do is instead of moving, he's going to
55:58
pull this scalpel out of his hand.
56:01
You hear the flesh and blood spurt forward in front of him.
56:05
Jeb, roll. Resist torture drugs.
56:07
Oh boy. Takes the scalpel and he throws
56:12
it at VV. Oh Lord.
56:14
Throwing knife. OK, whoa.
56:18
There it is. Roll Evasion VV18I rolled.
56:24
It's a four. That's enough.
56:27
You're lucky I only needed one more.
56:30
The scalpel goes flying past you and sticks into the table next
56:33
to Bendel. Oh shit.
56:34
Holy shit. And he lunges towards you with
56:37
his wolvers. Oh.
56:39
God. As he makes his lunge since I
56:42
said I wanted to hold my action. Sure.
56:44
Oh, can I use the rest of my movement to run and tackle?
56:50
Yes, but you have to beat his attack.
56:53
OK, and if I fail it's because I forgot to pull my pants back up.
56:56
That is hilarious. Out of his fingers come these
57:01
blades. Fingernails.
57:03
Not bad. You can definitely avoid that.
57:05
I think there there's still the possibility there.
57:08
VV beat a 14, did not roll well. The first swipe misses.
57:13
Retro rolled 19. So what's really cool is you
57:18
both avoid this attack. He goes in with his Wolvers to
57:21
slash at Vivi. Vivi expertly takes a little
57:25
step back and bumps into the bat Robot whoops you on the back of
57:28
the head. Doesn't hurt you, it's just
57:29
spreading and Retro jumps forward to grab Doctor Glass
57:34
from behind. Put a roll of brawling trip
57:37
there. He's not, yeah, not enough.
57:40
And he doesn't get free from your grasp.
57:42
You've now held him from behind. Wait, who's who's holding?
57:46
He's going to be doing the holding.
57:47
I tackled Dr. Glass as he was trying because I helped my
57:52
action when I moved in with my ass.
57:56
All right, I guess I'll do the smashing then.
57:58
I know it's on my turn. I'm just.
58:00
It's Vandel's time. Can Vandel assist in the
58:03
holding? Go go for the knees.
58:06
Wait, no, open his jaw. I.
58:09
Thought I was ripping its spine out.
58:12
Why the hell he'd be fine? Not a.
58:13
Sword but. Maybe he'd be sword.
58:16
I'm just saying maybe you could like open up his jaw a little
58:18
bit and I could shovel frag grenade in there.
58:20
You. Know what?
58:22
Yeah, but they'll just just. Just stick.
58:25
The the the Then they'll stick the the sword through the neck.
58:29
You got it. Gets 23 bitch.
58:33
He gets a -1 because he is grappled.
58:41
Oh, that's funny. They meet.
58:45
Oh no. And the sword goes into Doctor
58:48
Glass's neck, and it goes through his neck by passing his
58:53
windpipe and clinks into the sand.
58:55
Divisia. You hear hiss.
58:59
Dr. Glass's body gets covered in this overcharge of electricity.
59:05
Retro that's not good for him Yeah, you take 9 electrical
59:16
damage and let go of him. Oh, this is Glass falls forward.
59:22
Retro, you fall backwards. You are singed.
59:26
As you know from Tracy's attack, you cannot gain a critical
59:31
injury from electrical damage according to the step block, so
59:38
you are merely just prone on the ground.
59:41
Bendel takes their second hit. Now fuck be a 16 bitch.
59:48
He gets -2 to this because his health is very low.
59:52
Buck. Hold on, I would like to use one
59:58
of my inspirations. Oh.
1:00:04
To make that big last reroll. OK, well I just rolled a crit 30
1:00:09
so that is a good choice 17. Much more manageable.
1:00:16
Much more manageable. I tried.
1:00:19
Because also, I said -2 didn't I?
1:00:21
So that's seven. That's, that's enough.
1:00:23
Vendel beats Doctor Glass and with him on the ground, swipes
1:00:28
their sword across his neck and pulls at the sand of Vizier.
1:00:32
He screams from the ground as the sand of Vizier is slowly
1:00:36
pulled from his body, the bolts pulling out of his skin.
1:00:39
Then Del finishes off by slicing around the neck and holding it
1:00:43
straight up to his very jaw. There's a moment where he looks
1:00:48
into Vivi's eyes. He smiles.
1:00:52
I'll always feed the monster you create.
1:00:56
Shut the fuck up. Vivi's a good person.
1:01:02
And then Bendel puts the sword through the chest and clinks it,
1:01:07
and then offers the end of the sword to Vivi.
1:01:10
Through his heart, Vivi with the back, through the metal and the
1:01:13
bone. You hear the sound of Doctor
1:01:17
Glass's flesh coming back together.
1:01:19
You have moments to do this. Vivi is trembling actually in
1:01:26
this moment, those words just sting in her ears for a second.
1:01:31
But Vendel's words, I think, bring her back to a reality that
1:01:36
she has just a few seconds to do this.
1:01:39
So Phoebe takes the sword from Vendel and stabs through his
1:01:48
heart and just with the edge of her heel of her foot pushes it
1:01:57
and seals it all the way through.
1:01:59
The sword digs through Doctor glass, pinning him to the
1:02:04
ground. Blood pours out of his mouth and
1:02:08
out of his back. He's covered in wounds.
1:02:12
Parts of the sound of is still attached to him spark and
1:02:15
render, and eventually all that's left is a trembling hand.
1:02:20
You're unsure if he's doing it or if it's just a leftover
1:02:24
response, but it continues to knock on the ground, knock,
1:02:30
knock and stops. Well, looks like the eternal
1:02:42
life really had a limited time offer on it.
1:02:46
In this silence of retro, says this poignant line, the bat bot
1:02:51
wavers in the air and falls to the ground, obviously supported
1:02:54
by Doctor Glass's cyberware, causing a mild explosion behind
1:02:59
VB, shocking everyone, kind of ruining the mood.
1:03:03
Oh, oh, so so we be is your is your Batman a wood?
1:03:11
No, it's a regular steel bat, not a wooden bat.
1:03:18
Are you sure we shouldn't like I don't know anyone, anyone got
1:03:20
like a like a stick or something, you know, just
1:03:23
something wooden. I feel like, you know, wooden
1:03:25
stake through the hearts. He's that.
1:03:28
Champ always Sure, we've double checked.
1:03:31
I take my combat shovel and just finish cutting the rest of the
1:03:37
head off. It's very difficult, and of
1:03:40
course there's a chip in the in the corner of your combat
1:03:42
shovel, but I'll let you do it for free.
1:03:44
Yeah. You say, you say Chip.
1:03:47
I call that battle Scar. Character.
1:03:51
So now there's a bite at the tip of your combat shovel.
1:03:55
Double S name. Now it's.
1:03:56
Bite oh that's good that's good. You kind of scratch that into
1:03:59
the into the spade. That's nice.
1:04:04
Well, I guess the city's down a an asshole, but I actually think
1:04:16
we got some time to go back to that Halloween party.
1:04:20
What do you think? I mean.
1:04:26
Maybe we should. Celebrate at the bar.
1:04:28
Yeah, I. Might want to.
1:04:30
I'm almost seriously wounded, so I think I need a nap.
1:04:36
I'm ready to just go back. Well, you know, I actually
1:04:40
haven't ever, you know, I've either been living out of Vanna
1:04:45
White or, or at the bar. And of course, you know, we
1:04:48
never get any trick or treaters at the bar because it's kind of,
1:04:51
you know, faux pas for children to enter a bar.
1:04:56
But I've always been curious of as to the whole trick or
1:05:00
treating thing. And I never got to hand out USB
1:05:06
sticks to kids as is tradition, of course.
1:05:11
I thought if any of you guys got, you know, a house or
1:05:17
apartment or something to do, you think maybe I could do some
1:05:22
trick or treating? Sure, Jeff, you can come to my
1:05:25
place and we can. Well, hold on, I'm going to.
1:05:30
VV lives in a nicer area. We can.
1:05:32
We can make that. Well they do live in a nicer
1:05:35
area, that's to be fair. They probably have better candy
1:05:37
than. Can we go to your apartment and
1:05:41
give out candy maybe like. Yeah, actually that sounds nice.
1:05:49
I'm going to take some of the the scraps of the burning couch
1:05:53
that's just smoldering, OK, and use that on half of my suit.
1:05:58
OK. And I'm going to change the face
1:06:01
on my my TV face to now look like A2 face from Batman.
1:06:06
Amazing. I knew you were doing Harvey.
1:06:08
Then I knew it. Well, my suit got fucked up, so
1:06:11
how else am I going to? What else am I going to have for
1:06:12
costume? It's a nice pivot.
1:06:16
The other, the other pivot I'm getting at is that like, there's
1:06:19
a lot of blood here, Jabrol resist torture drugs, and maybe
1:06:24
it's time we shed a little life instead.
1:06:29
Yes, you pass. Well, you know, as a disgusting
1:06:35
and sort of, you know, thematic, I suppose today I'm not going to
1:06:43
drink that blood off the ground. Instead, I just want to.
1:06:48
I just want to curl up, maybe have a nice little spiked cup of
1:06:52
hot cider with my friends and hand out definitely not
1:06:58
poisonous candy to random children on the street.
1:07:03
Sounds good, Jeb. Yeah, because Two's the season.
1:07:08
It's the reason for the season. Next time on no latency.
1:07:26
Wow. Well meow, they look good.
1:07:29
Do you have 4 ears now or? Go go, go get some therapy.
1:07:32
This. Is my therapy.
1:07:33
Ketamine Therapy. He sounds maybe problematic.
1:07:37
He didn't know. It doesn't have the jamming
1:07:39
problem I. Don't think we'd do that.
1:07:41
I mean we at least give it some sight and then decide to kill
1:07:45
it. It's true, a lot of people in
1:07:46
Height city are just very hostile.
1:07:49
Not city universe. Library trip.
1:07:52
My reading comprehension isn't super high to be honest with
1:07:56
y'all but. Sorry, I was polishing my Canon,
1:07:59
I didn't know what what's going. On we just pay our fees.
1:08:01
We should probably pay our fines to the library anyway.
1:08:03
Got to respect the school rules. I respect institute.
1:08:07
My old stomping grounds. Let's see what's changed.
1:08:10
Rolling like fire tonight. You checked out the Gutenberg
1:08:13
Pop A. Cleaning fee excuse.
1:08:15
Me some sort of protest? Why would you put duct tape over
1:08:18
your mouth if you were going to respond to questions, Yeah.
1:08:20
Why tie yourself to the bench if you're going to fight the man?
1:08:22
He's the Dean. He went from professor to Dean.
