Latest / No Latency / NL: SideQuest - JUNK WARS - Pt2 Build-A-Punk
Transcript
- 0:01Last time on no latency side quest.
- 0:05Did you purposely make me show up to the beginning of the junk
- 0:07round? You know.
- 0:07V is my other best friend girls. Night, Declan D Danger.
- 0:12Friend the V is a friend of the band.
- 0:14Need anyone to scream? Where we go now?
- 0:16The D stands for Danger. Are you me from the future?
- 0:20I'm so short. I'll do all the heavy.
- 0:22Lifting. You talking about it, not you
- 0:24from the future. I have no idea how to build
- 0:26cars. TT's on mechanic.
- 0:28I'm actually looking for a team. She's really good at with the
- 0:31tech stuff. Coyote, thank you.
- 0:33Just in terms of team name, it's not great.
- 0:35Can we change that? What do you guys think?
- 0:37What about the VB villains? Hey, Master.
- 0:39I'm in love with him. Something.
- 0:41I knew you. Were going to ask that.
- 0:42Would be badass with the robot. I don't know yet.
- 0:44Support you as long as you're making decisions that don't put
- 0:47yourself in harm's way. Awesome, got.
- 1:00About half an hour before the salvaging starts.
- 1:03So grab some shit, get ready, I'll meet you on the other side
- 1:06of the wall to the West. Wait, all right.
- 1:10Are we grabbing shit? If we grab shit now, is that not
- 1:13considered salvaging? I mean, I guess, but the
- 1:17salvaging of the actual junk yard starts in 30 minutes.
- 1:24We got to buy stuff. Maybe we should like get to our
- 1:29spot and like plan out a junk knot.
- 1:32That's a good idea. We got what, 1/2 hour to try to
- 1:34come up with general ideas about how to make this thing.
- 1:38Yeah, well, don't we? Don't we have eddies to buy
- 1:40stuff somewhere too? We have 2000 eddies, yeah.
- 1:45Yeah, yeah. Let's spend that.
- 1:47What if we just. Didn't.
- 1:49Drinks instead. Coyote wants to get messed up.
- 1:55Or yeah, or something else. What if we spend it on some fun?
- 2:00Stuff. Well, maybe.
- 2:02Everybody else drunk. Yeah.
- 2:04And then they wouldn't be able to make as good of a thing.
- 2:08But wait, how? How long is this first section
- 2:12of the game? We have 30 minutes until
- 2:14salvaging. Yeah, but how long does
- 2:16salvaging last? I don't know.
- 2:18Forever, I hope. 2 days. 2 days. Yeah.
- 2:21The old Trump thing probably won't work.
- 2:24We can get a head. Start unless we did it again the
- 2:26next day. That's what I'm saying.
- 2:29Listen, listen, let's just see what there is to buy first.
- 2:32Because maybe there's nothing good anyway.
- 2:35Yeah, you're the expert, Teensy, so whatever you think would be
- 2:40good, let's. Take a look.
- 2:43I got a question for Teensy. Yeah.
- 2:46How do you feel about a rocket launcher?
- 2:50Oh, she loves her rocket launcher, that.
- 2:52Would be sick. Why do you have one?
- 2:55Did you bring one with? You, but I I just assume it's a
- 2:58tube, right? Put a rocket in it.
- 3:02Like AT Shirt Cannon, I got one of those.
- 3:05I have a T-shirt cannon. We probably could put some
- 3:07rockets in it. I have a lot of tight eyes.
- 3:11Shirts give me out. You get a tube, you you could
- 3:15probably find some. Is it Chew 2 at this point?
- 3:18Yeah. OK.
- 3:20You find like an old Chew 2 with, like, you know, canister.
- 3:23You fill it up and then you shoot it out of the tube at
- 3:26another car. Yeah.
- 3:27That would be cool. Are we are we allowed?
- 3:29I haven't. Are we allowed to attack each
- 3:31other? Jab.
- 3:32Is that like part of? This it's no holds bar.
- 3:36I mean, you can literally do anything. 1.
- 3:40Race starts before the race. There's a little bit more, you
- 3:44know. Decorum.
- 3:46The junk master doesn't like to keep things too messy before the
- 3:50race, but once once that firing gun goes off it's no rules
- 3:55seems. Like one of the other teams
- 3:57broke your partner's leg though? Oh my God, hold on a second.
- 4:01Are you telling me that you think that was purposeful?
- 4:05I don't know, but I've seen worse of my years.
- 4:08That was definitely purposeful, right?
- 4:11Well, you guys are just now bringing it.
- 4:12Up. I thought you knew.
- 4:13I listen. I thought it was an accident.
- 4:15I don't know. I don't know.
- 4:16I don't know anything. We just got here.
- 4:18Well, don't you think that's something we might want to, I
- 4:20don't know, look into, Yeah. Both you go look into that.
- 4:26I want to see what I can buy with this money.
- 4:28Guys. Turn on.
- 4:29What about? This thing Let's go.
- 4:31Let's. Go there are vending machines
- 4:33around you or you can head to the shop I'm.
- 4:34Going to go to the shop first. Shop.
- 4:36Sure, head on inside. But that's his bar.
- 4:40That's that's his bar. Inside you see some people
- 4:50waiting, and a a sort of very lithe tall femme standing behind
- 4:56bulletproof glass, sort of sitting, leaning against her
- 4:59hand as she stares at you as the door closes behind you.
- 5:06Yeah. Hi, I'm here to see what I could
- 5:09possibly buy for this race inside here.
- 5:15That's a punk knot. Yeah.
- 5:19All right, well, we've got rockets, ammo, AP ammo,
- 5:22explosives, chassis, engines, you know, cover, glass armor.
- 5:29We've got catapults, combat spikes, metal cage launchers,
- 5:33junk turrets, a mini gun and a rocket launcher.
- 5:37Rocket launchers. So much.
- 5:39How much is the rocket launcher? 1000 Eddies.
- 5:44Wow, that's. Crazy.
- 5:45We can get 2 right? You can put 3.
- 5:47In a punk knot. We only have 2008.
- 5:50Well, it's. I have a bunch of.
- 5:52Buckets are not cheap though. Oh, you're right.
- 5:56Hey, 18C yeah, I'm just wondering.
- 6:00So right now we're just starting with a floating platform.
- 6:04I'm, I'm going to be honest, I really all I need is is Oh yeah,
- 6:11they float. It's not out of ground.
- 6:14No, no wheels. I mean, unless you want to put
- 6:16some on there, but I don't think they're real necessary.
- 6:19No one told me this is going to fly.
- 6:24Is it? It's more of a harbour.
- 6:27So is it still a land vehicle or is it?
- 6:29Yeah, a vehicle. It's.
- 6:31Considered a land. Vehicles on it though it it
- 6:33might be able to get some lift. I I, I I.
- 6:36But then. Too, You got to jump with those
- 6:38Gulch if you want to win. Or survive.
- 6:43On a scale from like 1 foot to like 10 foot like how high does
- 6:46it hover? Like 10 to 15.
- 6:49If you're a good mechanic, maybe you should get it higher.
- 6:52Well, she's the best. Some rocks.
- 6:54She's the best. So what?
- 6:55What? What kind of stuff is in the
- 6:56vending machines as opposed to here like.
- 6:59Go to go and check how random the GM did lots.
- 7:03Of preparation, right. OK.
- 7:07Well, is there a limited supply of your supplies?
- 7:11Yeah, I've only got 1 rocket turret.
- 7:13If you can find another one in the junk, that's on you.
- 7:16I've got 1 mini gun turret. I've got one junk turret.
- 7:19I've got 1 metal cage launcher. I've got one.
- 7:21Go on and on and on. I've got one of everything.
- 7:23Right, OK. Yeah, yeah, Sock, can you stay
- 7:26here and look scary and not let anyone else buy stuff while I go
- 7:29and take a quick look and see what's in all the vending
- 7:31machines? Absolutely.
- 7:34That's what I'm useful. I was.
- 7:36Just going to say maybe look for a steering wheel or some way to
- 7:39control it. OK, that's all.
- 7:41Yeah, that's smart. Let's go out of vending
- 7:46machines. So it's in there I'm.
- 7:47Just going to like try. And.
- 7:50Run by and see what type of stuff is in them.
- 7:53Right. So outside there are three
- 7:54vending machines, one outside the office, 1 outside the bar,
- 7:57and one behind the bar. Which one do you want?
- 7:59Well, the one you said, there's one, of course, the Office 1.
- 8:03Yeah. Yeah.
- 8:04So the Office 1. Here we go.
- 8:11OK. Oh, water.
- 8:13You find 4 items in this vending machine.
- 8:18Roll me AD four. OK, D4.
- 8:28In Cyberpunk. Oh yeah.
- 8:30OK, so you roll to 2 and that gives you one extra item.
- 8:33Now it's more water. It's a.
- 8:35Lot of machines, a lot of water. Oh, I've heard of this.
- 8:40Called. Drinking family beverages.
- 8:41Attires. Wait.
- 8:43Coyote, are we, are we going to like need a lot of water?
- 8:47Or is this like? A red herring, because it's not
- 8:50like we. Think like we need water, but
- 8:52maybe we don't. I mean, like I, I know that you
- 8:56can like cool tires with, with fluids, but I say if we're
- 9:00flying, we probably don't have tires.
- 9:03There is a skill chip. In there though.
- 9:04Unless it's like a steam punk. Maybe.
- 9:06It's like a steam powered. Machine.
- 9:10Or maybe it's just 'cause we're in the desert and it's hot.
- 9:14And we might need one. What's a skill chip?
- 9:16I don't know what that. Information.
- 9:18Skill chip requires skill. Slot.
- 9:21Will improve any skill up to plus. 3 Get the edge.
- 9:27On your opponents. With.
- 9:28This new piece of cyberwear. They bound you some.
- 9:33Humanity loss may occur up to 1D6.
- 9:37But that's required because saw as a therapist.
- 9:39So how, how, how long is the race again?
- 9:44How much time? It's it's however long it takes
- 9:47the first person to run the half mile, but it's.
- 9:50Not like it's not like days or anything.
- 9:52No, no. It's like, OK, I got it, got it.
- 9:54The salvage stuff is 2 days long.
- 9:56Sure, sure. But in in terms of the fiction
- 10:00time, it's like 5. Minutes in terms of fiction
- 10:02time, like it's a good, it's a good five to 10 minute race.
- 10:05Are there any other like when I was in the bar earlier was there
- 10:08a like a water fountain? Is there any way to get water?
- 10:11Are people drinking water? Are they just drinking beer and
- 10:13alcohol and this is the only water?
- 10:15They're just drinking beer and alcohol.
- 10:16You don't see anyone drinking water, no.
- 10:19All this water, then everybody. Would be.
- 10:24Really dehydrated by the time the race starts.
- 10:26Or, or let's hope our our our punk not doesn't break down in
- 10:29the desert and we are with hot water.
- 10:33I'm running to the next. Vending machine to see what's.
- 10:34In that one, what's in? Another one.
- 10:36Roll me one. Roll me A this time roll me AD
- 10:396. OK.
- 10:43More water. So much water.
- 10:45Rolling 1D6, that's more water. It's three items more water.
- 10:54Cool shades. I like the cool shades.
- 10:57What's boost? Boost is a drug.
- 10:59It's a drug. Oh.
- 11:00Freaking you freaking me. Anti drugs you're so scared to
- 11:07do everybody they're. So scared to do drugs in any
- 11:10game we ever play. Crazy.
- 11:12Because we boost cyberpunk the users intelligence.
- 11:18Increases by two points can raise your intelligence about
- 11:22eight points. You can just think of it more
- 11:25like Vyvanse. This one increases your
- 11:27intelligence. Let's go it.
- 11:28Also dehydrates you a lot. Yes.
- 11:32Water I. Think we leave the boost but
- 11:35take the water? We might need to get at least
- 11:38one. Water at least one you never.
- 11:41Know, but I just. Want to do what?
- 11:43There's one more vending machine.
- 11:44Hold on. Hold on, hold on.
- 11:45Why? This vending machine is a
- 11:47medical vending machine. But there's more.
- 11:51Water, water, cigarettes and water.
- 11:56OK. The medical vending machine has
- 12:00cigarettes. This one it sounds like the
- 12:06least helpful of them. Guys, I don't know what to do,
- 12:08OK? There's definitely no wheels,
- 12:11she didn't say there. Are any wheels we'll?
- 12:13Look, we don't need wheels. We got a steer.
- 12:16Not wheels, steers, Oh. Oh oh oh, steering wheel.
- 12:19Sorry. Yeah, that is one wheel we do
- 12:21need. That is one wheel salvage truck.
- 12:25What is it the? Most important thing that if.
- 12:28You don't have it the the. Vehicle will not.
- 12:31Move. After the.
- 12:33Tech, so I don't know. Yeah, but yeah, but you're the.
- 12:38Only one who builds cars so I think it's up to you.
- 12:45The accelerator. Pedal that.
- 12:48Was true. The guy in the banana shirt
- 12:51walks through up to the counter. Well, we've been bullshitting
- 12:54for too long. Leans on it.
- 12:56I want to buy the mini gun. Excuse me Sir, my friend, she's
- 13:03in the bathroom and I'm saving her spot.
- 13:07Well, while you're waiting, I want to buy the mini gun.
- 13:14I'm going to have to tell you the back up.
- 13:17I'm not going to ask, I'm going to tell.
- 13:20Oh. Roll the face down,
- 13:22motherfucker. What's your reputation?
- 13:25Cool plus reputation plus 1D10. OK.
- 13:29You are a rocket boy. Your reputation is 5.
- 13:33My cool is 8. Pretty cool. 19.
- 13:39No way we meet. Interesting they kiss now.
- 13:45Do you want nothing to happen or do you want to re roll?
- 13:47I want to re roll all. Right, hit me.
- 13:51What? What?
- 13:52What would nothing happen to even look like?
- 13:56The conversation would continue as not.
- 14:04As good. So what'd you roll?
- 14:08Oh my God, it's 15 again. Yeah.
- 14:10No way. Yeah, that's funny.
- 14:13All right, so you meet with this guy, he kind of looks at you, I
- 14:18said. Get closer.
- 14:19And then I said I'm buying the mini gun.
- 14:26How much is it? It's 1000.
- 14:30That OK with you Jim, I'll. Give you 11104.
- 14:35Oh fuck. Roll trading or persuasion?
- 14:40Saw his intelligence 3 by the way.
- 14:42He doesn't. Know how to hack?
- 14:44Yes. His haggling is AII he got.
- 14:48I was able to purchase the thing.
- 14:51What was it? Persuasion.
- 14:53Persuasion or trading? Where is trading?
- 14:57Is that education? It's in social.
- 14:59Social. Got it.
- 15:00So. What are you doing?
- 15:01Trading or persuasion? I am doing persuasion.
- 15:06All right. It's.
- 15:10Not cost more than that motherfucker, he goes.
- 15:13Oh no. Oh, so I was going to the
- 15:16vendor. He he told the shopkeep that
- 15:20he'll pay more than 1000 for it. He asked first.
- 15:24That's fine, you can take it. I'll just RIP it off you punk
- 15:30knot later on. It gives you a cocked eyebrow,
- 15:35passes by you to this hole in the wall.
- 15:38The chick disappears from view as she pulls something from a
- 15:42cabinet behind and pops it through this wall socket and
- 15:46then it is a compressed and folded in mini gun turret for a
- 15:50punk knot. This guy picks it up, walks out
- 15:52of the building with it under his arms.
- 15:55As soon as he leaves the building, oh God, teens, he's
- 15:58going to be so mad. I left that guy.
- 16:00But the new best friend he's. Going to melt out of the corner.
- 16:08Oh no. Rock back and forth.
- 16:13Wait, was that a mini gun? Even asking, but we didn't want
- 16:17that though, right? We wanted a rocket launcher.
- 16:19So that that's that's fine, right?
- 16:20Let me go right. Can I, should I, would I roll my
- 16:25land vehicle tech to kind of see how much knowledge I have of
- 16:30what might be the most important thing to make sure we have?
- 16:34Absolutely do it. Player day doesn't.
- 16:38Know anything about? Cars and his feelings very. 22.
- 16:4422 The the the Junk Run run Purchasing at the shop is not
- 16:52the only option for parts. Contestants can find free parts
- 16:56in the junk pile and trade with other teens freely.
- 16:59Advice Keep an eye on your punk knot.
- 17:01Sabotage is common. Punk knots for the competition
- 17:04have a face prebuilt by the himself.
- 17:08Contestants show them metal by installing editions.
- 17:11Chassis are up and sought after in the competition as they
- 17:14increase hard points for turrets.
- 17:16Knots. Knots can be added for a speed
- 17:18boost, extra engines for more acceleration, combat spikes for
- 17:22more defensive and offensive capabilities.
- 17:25A junk catapult is popular with the crowd.
- 17:28With this, anything can be MO Tumbled wire launchers can even
- 17:32hit the highest floating targets filled up with explosives to
- 17:35surprise your opponent and delight the crowd.
- 17:38Make sure you have ample armor for the trials and opponents you
- 17:42will see in your run to jump. OK, guys.
- 17:46So we're going to be able to like find a lot of stuff in the
- 17:48and I'm going to find us a lot of stuff.
- 17:51But you think it's really important that like I don't know
- 17:55the quality of everything. We are calling it junk.
- 17:59So maybe the chassis and one of those junk turrets could be cool
- 18:06because because it'll fire any trash we have.
- 18:10Thoughts. Feelings.
- 18:12Whatever you want, Bestie, as long as I can paint the punk
- 18:15knot. Oh yeah, you get to paint the
- 18:17whole thing. Should I start working on
- 18:19matching T-shirts for us? Absolutely.
- 18:22For sure. All right, cool.
- 18:24Luckily I brought my portable tie dye kit of.
- 18:27Course, you did never go anywhere without that.
- 18:31I'm going to be honest with you, I think we might want to forego
- 18:36any sort of a tech option from this race.
- 18:41And I figure we put all of our dice into by dice I mean all of
- 18:49our money and design interest. Eggs is what I was looking for.
- 18:58Thank you, my idioms aren't so good.
- 19:01The eggs are super rare in. The basket, yeah.
- 19:04I think we put all of our eggs in the go fast and don't get hit
- 19:11aspect of things. I don't know about you, but I
- 19:16feel like shooting people is not going to be the way to win this
- 19:20race. I.
- 19:21Think get ahead of people. Measure like if we start getting
- 19:25attacked, can we just attack with like our own weapons?
- 19:29Do we get to ride with our own weapons?
- 19:31Like can I fire at people? Yeah, yeah, you can have to
- 19:36carry your own weapons. You can buy ammo from me, any
- 19:40guns. I can sell grenades and stuff.
- 19:43I'm envisioning a a hovering platform with a box on top with
- 19:49a steering wheel. See your construction area.
- 19:53OK, I'm going to buy the chassis thing.
- 19:57Big box that goes fast. That's all I'm saying.
- 20:01Miss Miss Teensy. Yeah.
- 20:04A guy came in and he bought the mini gun turret and I couldn't
- 20:07stop him. Oh that's OK, we weren't talking
- 20:11about wanting that anyway. I mostly just wanted to make
- 20:13sure none of the like car parts stuffs and the rocket launcher
- 20:16didn't get bought. You're fine.
- 20:18No, just just a mini gun turret. OK, well, that's all right.
- 20:22You tried. You did your best.
- 20:24And we we were both he was really cool and I'm, I'm, I'm
- 20:27really cool. You're.
- 20:28Definitely cool. And we like got face to face and
- 20:31our chest touch. Whoa.
- 20:33But he was just a little bit more persuasive than I was to
- 20:36the the the the lovely merchant here.
- 20:40Oh well, saw it's important that you tried and I appreciate.
- 20:44That so you're not mad? No.
- 20:50That makes me feel better. Great.
- 20:53So that chassis thing? Yeah, you got a chassis from my
- 20:58best friend here. It's. 200 I have one left.
- 21:03OK, here you go. Cool.
- 21:08And then? What you want to?
- 21:10See I. Really like the idea that that
- 21:14Saw and the other guy had their chests touched because that's
- 21:17the furthest part out from their body.
- 21:24Your spine is crazy. Oh, yeah.
- 21:27No, no, no. It's just the.
- 21:29Size of those pecks. Yeah, those puppies.
- 21:31Chunky pecks rose ripped. OK.
- 21:39And then what was the like tumbleweed bomb thing?
- 21:43You retire. That's the metal cage launcher,
- 21:46which is a turret. So with the chassis, you're
- 21:49adding a turret point, you're adding a hard point.
- 21:51You can have three. On a punk note, the metal cage
- 21:54launcher is a is an object that looks like tumbles, these big
- 21:57metal balls. And if you can find some
- 21:59explosives and shut them inside, they'll do extra damage.
- 22:02Got it. Well, guys, I just feel weird
- 22:05not not like using the money we were given to spend.
- 22:07Like it seems like most of the things we can buy are weapons.
- 22:10But Jebby, you're saying? I think I've been fast working
- 22:13it. I mean, that's cool.
- 22:16Excuse me, Miss Muchen, do you close after the scavenging

- 26:26The junk master is standing outside the last of the bays
- 26:30guys are. Late.
- 26:33Sorry. You're over.
- 26:36Here, and he points over to the east.
- 26:39As you step forward, you look into this mechanics Bay and
- 26:45there's a pretty nice set of mechanics tools.
- 26:48There's a barrel of tune and a punk not resting on the ground.
- 26:54Good luck that floating base. Thing.
- 26:55Thank you. Yeah.
- 26:58This big thing, all right. Well, we've got we got the the
- 27:03beginnings of a hell of a cart. Why don't we get to it?
- 27:08Well, let's see if, let's see what this thing can do bare
- 27:12bones. Jeb walks over and flips the
- 27:17switch. All right, Jeb, roll for it.
- 27:20Roll for switch flipping. Land vehicle tech, basic tech,
- 27:26anything like that. Control 30, so good six.
- 27:34You wrote a Crit 36 and you turn the key and you hear that and it
- 27:44stutters and you look at the crew and you turn the key back
- 27:48and it makes that Ding, Ding, Ding noises.
- 27:50It's been the control mechanism has been pulled out of like a
- 27:53Honda Civic. You turn it again and the thing
- 27:57roars. And as it comes up, because you
- 28:01rolled A Crip, as it comes up, it actually rises to about 15
- 28:05feet off the ground, about 5 feet more than you expect.
- 28:07But you managed to step nicely on the platform and now you're
- 28:11standing on it in front of everybody.
- 28:13Cool. She turns on excellent.
- 28:20That that's kind of the main point, right?
- 28:22Like that? I would think so.
- 28:23Honestly, I'd be a little disappointed if it didn't turn
- 28:25on. I'd put us at a huge
- 28:26disadvantage. Does it already?
- 28:27Have a steering wheel? No.
- 28:30You turn around and you look and although it is hovering, it has
- 28:33no steering wheel. It's a negative no steering
- 28:36wheel. I don't going to be honest,
- 28:38don't even see any way to move this thing in any way other than
- 28:42to its regular floating this part here which.
- 28:48Is probably steer it if we just all stood on one side.
- 28:52And lean to the right. We all move to the other side
- 28:54and lean to the left. That's good.
- 28:57Yeah, I'm just going to go take a swim in that jump pile.
- 29:00Guys. You you keep brainstorming.
- 29:04OK, I'll start going to need a steering wheel.
- 29:10I figure we should maybe split up and do things together, but
- 29:15separately. I don't know.
- 29:17Oh yeah, I am going to run after one of those robots and tackle
- 29:21it. I'm so excited.
- 29:23Teensy, you're looking at a giant pile of junk.
- 29:25Do you go left or right? Straight.
- 29:31All right, roll perception. You fall onto a pile of trash,
- 29:45open a fridge, fall forward and the fridge closes around you and
- 29:51you're now stuck in a fridge. Well, she wasn't kidding.
- 29:53Can. Anyone.
- 29:56Hear me, should I? Should I get her out of there?
- 29:58Yeah, probably. Oh, all right.
- 30:01Oh, maybe don't see I'm coming. Don't.
- 30:03Don't suffocate in there. Roll a check to open the fridge.
- 30:07It has fallen on the door so you have to lift it up.
- 30:10Oh, that wasn't great. Oh, that was really bad.
- 30:12Yeah, yeah, that's that's not, although it does beat the normal
- 30:16task of just picking something up, which is a nine.
- 30:20So you do pass, you lift up the fridge and open it, but because
- 30:24you do not roll very high, you gain no extra loot from this
- 30:27situation. Damn.
- 30:29Man, that is much roomier than a suitcase.
- 30:32I'll tell you what do. You live in a suitcase.
- 30:35No, but there's one time I locked myself in a suitcase
- 30:39trying to help the team and it did not go well.
- 30:44You say as you pull out a baseball cap that says my
- 30:46mother's favorite. You whack it on your head.
- 30:48Yes. Does anyone else want a role
- 30:52perception? Hey, Declan, you mentioned that
- 30:57you thought that maybe rave, you thought maybe that Norman
- 31:00getting his leg broken was a was it deliberated attack and I
- 31:07thought. Yeah.
- 31:09Maybe me and you, we could go investigate.
- 31:12That revenge. Well, I don't know if we don't
- 31:16know if we need to get revenge, but yes, that would be very
- 31:19nice. I do think it's a good idea if
- 31:22we scouted out the other ships to see what they're doing.
- 31:25We'll get some. Oh, someone should make sure no
- 31:27one sabotages ours though. Hey, big guy.
- 31:32Yeah. Do you think maybe you could
- 31:35just kind of stand right there and look and posing?
- 31:40I can do that. What is the like the, you know,
- 31:44the laws like if someone comes in the house and you can let
- 31:46them down or. Stand the ground laws.
- 31:49Yeah, yeah. Is that is that count for like a
- 31:52little Bay here? I'm no lawyer, but but Coyote, I
- 31:59feel like you might know something about that.
- 32:02You look like you're a learned person.
- 32:05Really. That's I've never heard that
- 32:08before. Just just look at the.
- 32:11Look at the five of us and ask yourself which one looks the
- 32:14smartest, Declan. Teensy, it's.
- 32:18Just 'cause I'm old, but I I have been around to know that
- 32:21there are no rules in the. Desert.
- 32:23Yeah. I think that it's crazy that
- 32:25you're worried about following the law in at all.
- 32:31Well, well, the junk master said that we got to behave before the
- 32:35Yeah. But if someone else starts it,
- 32:37you can finish. It if they come into the Bay,
- 32:41can I gun them down? And behavior is a part of a
- 32:43spectrum. Behave I would.
- 32:45Say. I like.
- 32:47That. I would say definitely be
- 32:49threatening and seem like you are going to, you know, take
- 32:52them out, but if they run away, you don't need to chase them
- 32:55down and finish the job, you know?
- 32:57I'll just revel. Gore Grinder here.
- 32:58And he slaps his forearm. Yeah, just like walk around the
- 33:02the base of it and just look crazy, like a crazy person.
- 33:05I I can do. That I can do it.
- 33:07Easily. You put your guitar case down
- 33:10next to the the punk knot. So, so remember that you're a
- 33:14rocker boy, so you wouldn't necessarily have to do this
- 33:18yourself. You could use your rocker boy
- 33:20skill. I can, I can.
- 33:25Is the is the punk knot floating at the moment?
- 33:29So that that thing is pretty fuel efficient, I imagine.
- 33:31So I'm just going to let that thing run.
- 33:32It starts to pop pop, and as you look over, you watch the fuel
- 33:36gauge plunk down half a Oh God. Well, a full 8.
- 33:40Run over, turn it off. And it sort of lightly lands on
- 33:45the ground with a kind of a metal third.
- 33:47Well, guess I better look for fuel too out there.
- 33:51Yes, ma'am. I'm not going to lie, this punk
- 33:54not kind of looks like a stage. So I'm I'm going to get on top
- 33:57of it. Cool and.
- 33:59I'm. I'm gonna tune this to drop D
- 34:03and I'm just gonna, I'm just gonna play some riffs while I
- 34:06got this thing. Cool, Do you?
- 34:11Are you gonna roll Charismatic Impact?
- 34:14Yeah, he's just gonna start rocking out because he does
- 34:17have. A.
- 34:18Did you upgrade your role? Part of me.
- 34:21Did you upgrade your role as a Rocket boy or did you keep it at
- 34:244:00? I kept it at 4:00 because it's
- 34:27it's the level times 60 for your your your role.
- 34:33Correct. Yeah, Yeah, it's expensive.
- 34:35I did not have that many. Right.
- 34:37But I do have a pocket amplifier so he doesn't need like speakers
- 34:42or anything, he just plugs his guitar.
- 34:44Right to his little. Pocket amp and yeah, he's just
- 34:46going to start rocking out in this Bay and see if see if he
- 34:50gathers some some fans that like a little neo death metal.
- 34:54Cool, do it roll charismatic impact.
- 34:58Oh. You go to play and one of your
- 35:02strings snaps and smacks you in the in the eye.
- 35:04Roll 1D6. Snap string hurts so bad.
- 35:10It gets caught on your sore arm. Oh fuck. 6 HP damage.
- 35:15Oh my. God.
- 35:20And your eye needs mild medical attention, so you close it and
- 35:25now you have lost depth perception.
- 35:27And in order to fix that, you're going to need to buy a medical
- 35:31kit. Hold on, I got some water.
- 35:32I'll put her some water. Water on it.
- 35:34This will help. Get it.
- 35:36Pull. Pull it in, Kyle.
- 35:37Oh my God. Nuts.
- 35:39But no one comes to you because you don't even start playing.
- 35:44That was not very cool. I'm.
- 35:46Embarrassed. For Jeb, I think we should get
- 35:48out of here. We shouldn't.
- 35:50Stand up. You.
- 35:51You. You, you, you Go on.
- 35:52I, I don't. I want to be.
- 35:54I don't want to be. Noticed.
- 35:56Right now. If you want to see if you have a
- 36:01spare string in your various pockets, you have to roll under
- 36:05your luck on AD 10. Otherwise you're lying my.
- 36:08What? What is my fuck?
- 36:14What if I fail? Then you just don't have one
- 36:17cry, all right? Let's cancel the show.
- 36:22Why not you? Just happens a lot.
- 36:24Is it AD 10 correct? Yep.
- 36:25Throw 1D10. An A string.
- 36:28Like is it? Is it meats or beats?
- 36:30It doesn't work. It's meat.
- 36:32So meats in below, yeah. Fuck my luck is 5.
- 36:38Yeah, you, you, you pat yourself over and the one string you're
- 36:41missing is the one string string.
- 36:44Oh, you, you have a gig in a few hours, guy.
- 36:46I know, I know. It only amazed.
- 36:49Me. You don't need voice in the sky.
- 36:50You only. Need 4 or.
- 36:54It's a guitar coyote. Nice.
- 36:55Base you. Play like a bass and it'll be
- 36:58fine. You only need it.
- 36:59One balance. I'll look for strengths.
- 37:01I'll look for strengths. I'll look for strengths.
- 37:03All right, Coyote, do you roll perception?
- 37:07I can if you'd like me to. Yeah, we're not.
- 37:10Yeah. We can roll some dice in this
- 37:12game 18. 18. 18 I got a baseline perception.
- 37:20So as you're stepping back from the terrible music, you discover
- 37:24that there's an opening in the trash to your West, and it sort
- 37:28of snakes in and to the right. If you teensy, you see Coyote
- 37:34start to step into the trash. Following, there's an opening to
- 37:39the trash to West. Teensy.
- 37:41Oh my gosh. Coyote, let's go.
- 37:43Let's go. An opening in the trash.
- 37:50Hooray, I'm right. Behind you, you've got better
- 37:54perception than me. All right, head on in.
- 37:58We head in. Oh, so true.
- 38:02I forget there's a map. I'm here.
- 38:07You step into the trash and you guys watch them disappear
- 38:10underneath this giant pile of just crap in the middle of the
- 38:14area and there as you step. Through the trash.
- 38:18Coyote and TNC to the north you see a a pair of of the robots
- 38:24that haven't seen you yet. Roll stealth.
- 38:26Oh. My.
- 38:33God, stealth, yes, seriously. 19 and a person who roll
- 38:37perception. Wait, what?
- 38:41Roll perception. Also perception and stealth,
- 38:44yes. OK, both of us.
- 38:46Yes, OK. 19 stuff. Oh, I explode.
- 38:52So perceptive. So that's 27. 13 S of 17
- 38:58perception. With your incredibly awesome
- 39:01crit, you see that there is a person under here and they're
- 39:06lying on the ground with a black eye and then next to two bots
- 39:11that haven't noticed you yet. Because of Coyote's great role,
- 39:16she has enabled you both to stay undetected by the robots, but
- 39:20there are two in here. What do we do?
- 39:24I don't know. OK, what if we just.
- 39:29Sneak up. Really quietly and then jump on.
- 39:44Next time I'm no latency side quest.
- 39:52What if we shoot at the same time?
- 39:53There's two of them. That's cute.
- 39:55Maybe we should focus fire. Is going to be so exciting.
- 39:58Did you find like a cake in the trash or something like that?
- 40:01I wouldn't believe that. You know his his ass is not as
- 40:04succulent as it used to be. All that good loot in there.
- 40:08You must be using an ass tub. So much good loot.
- 40:11Oh my gosh. What?
- 40:12A rush, you see. That was amazing.
- 40:14You were so good. Thank.
- 40:15You. I feel so cool.

- 40:19not. I don't got many shots.
- 40:20Left you found a mini gun. I found a mini gun.
- 40:23They sound pretty dirty. Best friends.

- 40:28You 2 have fun. I'm gonna watch the punk knot.
- 40:30Thank you. Yeah, let's go.
- 40:34Jesus, Metal Cage launcher won't need this.
