S2E95 - Fight for Vanna White · No Latency

0:02
Last time on no latency. Why don't you show me where
0:05
Pinky's AT and we can have a discussion?
0:07
That's what I assume the red barrel means.
0:09
It must be explosive. Guys, I think Jeb is going
0:12
rogue. Guys, I found a bitch that's
0:15
stupid away. Jeb's gone dark.
0:18
High colored as part of the Herald.
0:20
So much for your plan, Retro. Of the four Horsemen.
0:23
Of course there will be a bullet in your head, ma'am, but.
0:26
Otherwise known as the 4H. You can't help.
0:29
That it's the plushy guy. The plushy guy.
0:33
Don't say any stupid shit or I swear to God.
0:35
Here we go. Crit sanitization.
0:38
Thank. God, I'm Pestilence.
0:40
Anyone else want to say some stupid shit?
0:42
Retro say when? It sounds as if death has
0:45
unleashed the last seal. Well furnished.
0:47
Oh shit. That's not good initiatives or
1:01
any of us. -1 negative. One for Iona.
1:06
What the fuck? Wow, wow.
1:11
Good initiative. This This is bad, bad
1:14
initiative. Very bad.
1:16
All right, so the, the goal here is, of course, to murder
1:19
everyone who dared touch Vanna White, right?
1:23
That's that. We, we, we're all in agreement
1:25
there. Yeah, I I don't think we have
1:30
much of A choice. They look like they're ready to
1:33
fight. They're looking pretty, pretty
1:36
angry. Pretty angry.
1:39
Good. Jed.
1:44
Yep. All right.
1:45
Just just to make sure, this one here it it looks like it's this
1:49
is a purse. This is a bad guy.
1:51
But it looks like it's a it looks like it says Vanna Wyatt,
1:54
but it's actually a maelstrom scavenger.
1:56
Is that right? Yeah, yeah, no, that's, that's
1:59
that's a dude. Great, great.
2:01
Because I'm gonna go ahead and well there.
2:04
Who's this? She fell to the ground like a
2:07
second sheet. Of your standing above this body
2:11
on the ground just shot this pink haired woman in the head
2:17
and she is a pile of limbs and contortion.
2:21
In front of you. There are three Maelstrom
2:25
Scabbers hanging out around Vanna White with three wheels,
2:29
and you lift your gun and point it at the closest one.
2:32
So in that case, I'm going to go by buying Bang Bang right here
2:35
to this Maelstrom scavenger. No, yeah, that's my first shot
2:39
right there. 23. Bang Bang, motherfucker.
2:43
Nice. Yeah, that's really high.
2:45
But that's very good. You did well there.
2:48
Well done. Don't touch my car.
2:50
And you do 14 damage to this guy as he tries to avoid.
2:56
He doesn't have a reflex above 8 so it's a a fruitless endeavour,
3:01
but he does get hit. Now you got blood.
3:06
You got your blood on my car. You know you're going to have to
3:09
pay for that, and I mean with your life.
3:12
And I shoot again. Oh shit.
3:16
Oh my gosh. You rolled 36 shooting him again
3:23
for the same damage. What the hell?
3:26
All right, cool. Yep.
3:29
Create when you need to. Create when you need to.
3:32
What a great way to open a fight.
3:34
It's two bullets right into this guy and he goes right below half
3:38
health. Motherfucker, you hear You hear
3:41
his left arm tear as he pushes against the truck behind him,
3:45
getting caught in the handle. His arm twist badly.
3:49
Hey, I said. Don't touch my car.
3:52
Oh my arm -2 to melly attacks, no.
3:58
Thank you, that is my turn. Yes, and Jeb, after these
4:03
triumphant two shots, you feel a hand grab your ankle.
4:09
You look down and there is Pinky, back on her feet,
4:14
squatted below you. Son.
4:16
Of a bitch cerebral. I'm a motherfucker.
4:21
And she tries to pull you to the ground.
4:23
What does that mean? Whoa.
4:24
Roll brawling Brawling 16. I also have to roll brawling.
4:27
Sure, I should do that. Oh, you managed to get away from
4:34
the first grab? Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
4:37
She tries to tackle you invasion.
4:42
Oh that's not going to go well. So you sidestep her as she jumps
4:49
forward and unfortunately she completely misses you and hits
4:54
the ground for 09 damage. Fuck.
5:02
Looks like that cerebral, what'd you call it?
5:07
Armor. I mean, does that just mean you
5:09
got armor on your on your spine, on your bones that don't mean
5:14
shit for your eyeball? Looks turns around and she looks
5:17
at you to. My.
5:19
Head and the bullet you shot into her falls out of her.
5:26
Hair. Oh my.
5:28
Oh shit. She's AT1000.
5:30
Meanwhile, on the other side of the battlefield, Retro is
5:33
watching an explosion in golf. Some Maelstrom scammers.
5:37
Oh God. Oh God, Vivi.
5:41
You lift your gun as you watch Retro take his turn and smoke
5:45
emanates from the top as you feel the rush of adrenaline from
5:49
shooting a red barrel as you slide away in a cool way.
5:53
Well I don't have many options at the moment since all I have
5:56
is an air pistol and that doesn't cause damage.
6:00
But it does cause a blade. It does a blade armor though
6:03
because it's got acid in it. Correct.
6:05
There are maelstrom guys too, right?
6:07
Yes. Can I use, can I reflect in my
6:12
mind where a joint in a cyber limb would be for the acid to
6:18
potentially melt away? Sure.
6:21
What's the name shot? Holy shit.
6:23
Holy. Shit.
6:23
Oh. Like 3-2.
6:25
Oh yeah, 'cause you've got Maker, duh.
6:27
Yeah, of course you would know that.
6:30
Yes, number that high it's. Really high and that's legit.
6:33
That's just a legit roll. You just did well.
6:35
Maker Maker is where it's at. It's OP as shit.
6:38
It's OP as shit. Holy mother.
6:40
Yeah, so you rolled a crit. You also rolled A10, so there is
6:44
that. Yeah.
6:45
You rolled a crit success with a + 8 with that great holy moly at
6:50
42 yes, you can see from where you're standing at this doorway.
6:56
You can see the joints at the limbs as they glint in the fire
7:01
of the explosion. 14 I'm. Going to use the use the boxes
7:05
cover trying to keep on the edge.
7:07
So like I'm no, I'm as far away from the foam as I can and make
7:12
the shot now at at trying to hit either a servo in an arm or a
7:19
leg. Oh.
7:20
Way better 18 yes, steadiness up against the box.
7:24
You get a clear shot at this Maelstrom Scava, and oh, you
7:29
miss because it's +8. Aww.
7:33
Too bad. I don't have any other weapons.
7:39
You had luck. I could have spent it.
7:41
I won. Thought I could officer with my
7:45
knowledge of sort work. I'm sorry brother.
7:50
Your second air pistol shot flies off into the distance of
7:54
this battle. As you can hear the foam around
7:58
you start to settle in this huge mound around the vehicle.
8:04
You can hear it crackling with its caustic energy.
8:07
Oh. Caustic energy.
8:09
Isn't that painful? It it?
8:11
Yeah. My my pride is my pride is kind
8:13
of hurt a bit. On the other side of the
8:17
battlefield, Jeb, after your dodge, the guy behind you who
8:20
shot, he's next. All right, come on, He.
8:26
Rips out his gun and shoots you. Dodger 14.
8:31
Happily. Wow.
8:35
You sidestep his first bullet. Do it again.
8:38
You prick and he tries to shoot you and his gun jams.
8:44
He rolls a crit fail -1 and man. Really.
8:49
Looks like looks not really on your side is it?
8:53
Maybe it's because you fucked with the wrong people and you
8:57
fucked with the wrong car. And he scrambles back to the
9:01
wall to chase after his gun, which he unfortunately drops.
9:06
These guys seem like they're professionals.
9:08
And it's Vendel's turn. So question about the foam, how
9:17
like is that maelstrom that is like half in half out, are they
9:21
suffering? They will be, yes.
9:23
It's not their turn yet. They get to rob, resist torture
9:26
drugs, but yeah. Great.
9:28
OK, so don't touch it. Don't touch it.
9:30
Don't touch it, all right? And the last episode said 5
9:33
minutes, so probably for the entirety of this combat you
9:36
probably shouldn't go in there. All right, noted Bandella's
9:40
going to take a running leap from behind retro on top of this
9:45
box and try I want to try and jump onto this box here, just
9:51
the smaller box behind it and slice at the maelstrom in the in
9:57
the foam. Amazing Roll roll athletics.
10:01
If it makes it easier you can just jump off of retro shoulder
10:05
while they're not paying attention.
10:07
Cool running leap, awful running leap and then and then a
10:12
somersault in the air. And a somersault in the air.
10:14
Yeah, with my skate feet. Skate feet.
10:18
Skate fast, turn left, motherfucker 16 Yeah, that's
10:22
good enough. That's not a difficult task.
10:25
No, wait, that is a difficult. That's literally passing a
10:27
difficult task. That was a difficult task.
10:30
Also, fuck you and. They pull out their sword and
10:33
they slice this guy, this maelstrom who's the foam has
10:38
started to cover the flesh parts of their body and you can hear
10:41
it sizzle on them. Today makes our stingy noises.
10:47
23 OK, all right, OK, calm down, everyone. 23 Roll evasion.
10:58
It does not look like you're going to do it there, Maelstrom.
11:02
Nope, he gets hit for 12 damage. Do it again, but better.
11:09
Well, not not better, but. 16 Nice and this Scabba dodges out
11:18
of the way of the foam and is now standing next to a red
11:20
barrel about 5 feet away. You little shit.
11:26
But don't watch out for the foam.
11:28
Not the foam. The.
11:30
Foam. Climb back onto the big box,
11:33
farther away from the foam. Meanwhile, over by Jeb, one of
11:38
the other quote UN quote mechanics here comes around the
11:43
side of Vanna White and points their gun at Jeb.
11:46
Do it. Come on, I want you to do.
11:49
Fuck, God damn it, why does all our stuff suck?
11:53
He says as his gun jams. He sacrifices the rest of his
11:57
movements to fix his gun in the moment.
12:00
Honestly, listen, I'm I'm pretty pissed off at you, but you can't
12:03
take this personally. It really isn't you.
12:06
It's simply that we're just too good.
12:08
Fixes his gun and takes a shot at you only rolling a 13 Dodger
12:11
13. Yeah, I believe.
12:13
How's that? Oh my gosh.
12:18
Where do you want to move in that dodge?
12:20
You can move 5 feet. There we go.
12:23
And you easily dodge this bullet as it flies behind you and
12:27
sticks into a cabinet. Mother fucker.
12:32
Meanwhile, back on the other side, this initiative is doing
12:35
tennis. The plushy guy, E Tank, is
12:38
standing at the doorway to his little shed.
12:42
He's very close to being singed, so he has to roll Invasion 16.
12:48
Yes, he succeeds in avoiding the explosion and steps into the
12:54
room. He throws a grenade out to
12:59
beside the car. Let's see if he can do that.
13:04
Seven. Yes.
13:06
Grenade lands and it begins to tick.
13:09
As he closes the door, it beeps next to you.
13:14
Retro, you can see it. Hey.
13:15
What's that beeping? And then unfortunately it
13:19
explodes all evasion. Great.
13:22
It's. Beeping.
13:22
It's beeping, Mrs. Brock. That'd.
13:24
Be good. Oh baby, that's.
13:26
Not good. Take 14 damage and the car
13:32
starts to spark. Oh boy.
13:36
How much? Damage did you take?
13:37
14. Are you all right, Retro?
13:39
Are those sparks? Yeah.
13:43
Oh shit. Oh no.
13:45
Is your head OK? Remy?
13:47
I'm. Fine, do you?
13:52
Think he's short circuiting? Bullets fly towards Vendel, but
13:55
with that 14 it's a complete miss and they stick into the
13:58
wall. Well, hey, you're really far
14:01
away. That gun's not really going to.
14:03
Whoa, that's a 19. I have to dodge that.
14:06
Barely. Barely.
14:08
Ow and then it hit me. Fuck.
14:12
I mean it it doesn't blade my armor or anything but.
14:15
Still. Ow prick.
14:17
So Vendel's armor goes down by 1?
14:20
Fuck. Should we touch the foam?
14:22
He says to the guy standing in the foam and that guy looks at
14:25
him and just starts to scream and he falls to the ground.
14:31
Oh, Oh no. And starts to rise.
14:33
Oh. What's going on over there?
14:36
It looks very unpleasant. Yeah, there's a lot of
14:39
malfunctioning. The blood is just squirting out
14:42
of him now. Not squirting out of him.
14:46
Then, unfortunately, the porta potti that was engulfed by this
14:52
solution, a guy bursts out of one of them because he's been in
14:55
there the whole time. No, not a guy.
14:59
And this maelstrom is covered in the foam as it came through the
15:02
vents of the Porta Potti and is also screaming and takes a
15:06
serious amount of damage. Oh.
15:09
There's metal burn. And so he's on the ground as
15:12
well. The Scava, who was attacked by
15:16
Vendel steps forward and goes to shoot Vendel with a gun.
15:21
Bang Bang Dodger 14 Bang Bang I will 18 damn.
15:27
Vendel dodges handily. Fuck you and.
15:30
The guy shoots him again. Oh shit.
15:31
Stop. Stop shooting Vendel.
15:33
Oh. Ow fuck Iona, you distracted me.
15:37
I'm sorry, Vendel's armor goes down by 1 again.
15:40
Vendel's going to need new armor.
15:42
Oh. Shit.
15:43
OK there is a lot going on right now and I'm a bit stressed out
15:50
about it but I think I need to help retro or at least take care
15:56
of who was going after him because he looks like he took a
15:59
bad hit. So can I see the scaver that?
16:06
Yeah, you can see over the box totally.
16:08
Yep, I'm going to. It's about chest high.
16:10
I'm going to shoot at them. 17 Excellent, amazing, really,
16:15
really good. And that that noise that we know
16:18
so well goes off. Hell yeah.
16:25
And this bullet flies across the battlefield as you hear the foam
16:29
start to sizzle. You can see it start to rescind
16:33
as the volume of it slowly starts to go back towards the
16:38
car. Meanwhile, this guy is now
16:41
bleeding because he doesn't have a reflex of above 8.
16:45
He takes 9 damage. Oh the fuck he's he's no one
16:48
else. You have two shots there, right?
16:50
And I I shoot again. Oh, dude, the updated stuff.
16:56
Look, it says you've been good. That's so fun.
17:00
That's so fun. I love that.
17:03
That'll help people play, right. Just in time for Demi plane
17:06
sheets to come out and make all of this 18.
17:10
Amazing. That's so good.
17:11
Yeah, no, you hit him for 22 damage and full on, just put a
17:15
bullet right through the middle of his head and he drops to the
17:17
ground, dies because that's more health than he has.
17:20
But as he dies, he goes, his body instinctively puts his arm
17:24
back and his arm folds the wrong way.
17:26
And half of it flies off because it's mechanical and flies into
17:29
the phone because you got a critical injury and it was
17:32
broken. Nice shot baby.
17:38
Also holy shit. Thanks that it was a lucky shot
17:42
I guess. Lucky shot, you hit both times.
17:45
OK, it's not bad for somebody who got an initiative of 1-2.
17:50
You got 2 right? Yeah, 2 Better than a -1.
17:53
Right. Everyone looks at Iona, who's
17:55
just standing there. Talk to me, I.
18:01
Ain't got shit so. Back on the other side of the
18:03
battlefield, one of the Maelstrom Scabbers comes around
18:07
the corner of Vanna White. You.
18:12
Asked for it. I hope my gun doesn't jam too.
18:15
You might. You didn't dodge A14.
18:19
Come on, you've got this. The trick is when they, when
18:23
they're right, when they're about to pull the trigger, you
18:25
just kind of like step to one side and duck at the same time.
18:30
I like to call it a step duck or a duck duck.
18:36
Sorry I messed that one. Oh me.
18:41
Yeah. They shot you again.
18:43
We're all waiting. Oh my.
18:44
God, that's embarrassed. 19 You dodged the other bullet while
18:50
taking time to sort of say how great you are.
18:53
Yeah, yeah, so this is how you do it.
18:54
Just just so everyone, just so you guys specifically my
18:57
friends, just so y'all know how to do it.
19:01
It's a it's a step duck, a stuck No, it's it's.
19:06
Now they used all their movement to try and take that shot and
19:08
they missed entirely. So now it is finally Iona's
19:12
turn. Iona.
19:13
You've taken a while to do your turn.
19:14
What's wrong? I I was trying to dry off all of
19:18
the sanitizer that was still all over me.
19:20
I I couldn't hold my gun. Is that that's an explanation
19:25
for you? Yeah, that works great.
19:26
I like that one. That's good, Naruto.
19:27
I like that. That's cool.
19:29
So what does Iona do? Well, I don't want to be
19:32
anywhere near this foam and I from what I can hear over the
19:36
calms, Jeb is fighting two people by himself.
19:41
Can I run as an action, run as a second action and then run as my
19:48
movement and try to get? You can double your movement by
19:52
running, but then you don't get the shoot.
19:54
Damn. All right.
19:54
Yeah, that's fine. If you want, Vendel could push
19:57
you, but then Vendel would also have to roll.
20:01
You know what I'm going to do instead?
20:04
Can I have Vendel climb off the box as a free action as I come
20:08
by and I'll and I'll do the Derby whip to whip them over
20:13
towards Jebediah over there? You can do the the Derby whip
20:17
but Vendel can't move. Like like yes, correct.
20:21
That makes sense. Will stay exactly where they are
20:23
and you'll jump past them and they'll whip you as you go.
20:26
So Vendel has to roll athletics and you get triple your movement
20:29
if Vendel is successful. Wait, I'm corn fused?
20:32
I'm not. I don't need triple my movement
20:34
anymore. You don't.
20:36
Well, 'cause no 'cause I'm whipping Vendel because Vendel's
20:39
turn is coming up soon. Oh, very sneaky.
20:44
That's a good idea, Iona, whip me.
20:47
I am. I am.
20:48
Don't worry, Pash. You're doing we're we're you're
20:52
doing skate feat. So we're going to do dance.
20:54
Hey ya. A.
20:58
Rolled. A Max crit, that's a 30.
21:01
Where do you want them to go? They can jump over the fiery
21:03
explosion. Yes, I would love for them to
21:06
get the beautiful moment to jump over the fiery explosion.
21:10
And why not just directly pummel into the scabber that is in
21:15
between all of us and Jeb's fighting ring?
21:21
Great. Yeah, Vandell flies over this
21:24
explosion in the middle of the chop shop and goes towards the
21:29
Maelstrom Scabber to attack, which they will get to do on
21:32
their next turn. Wow.
21:34
Nice move, Ayanna, do you do anything else?
21:37
A pant because I wasn't expecting to jump over that box.
21:41
Fair enough. Who is fine?
21:43
I'm I'm fine. Jeb behind you, you hear the the
21:50
revving of an engine. Yeah.
21:55
Like a chainsaw, almost. There's the bitch.
21:59
Now you thought you were going to cut a rug.
22:01
I'm just going to cut you. Off yeah, I like.
22:04
You forget and as you turn around there is Pinky holding a
22:07
chainsaw knife. Bitch.
22:10
Ah shit, it is. Cybertopia is back and it's
22:26
going punk. And after the Corpus threw them
22:31
under the bus, our former amazing corps agents are trying
22:34
to make sense of it all and find their place in the world once
22:36
more. Last thing I remember the OP was
22:40
going fine and then everything is quiet so it's time to
22:45
recover. I mean, hey, so far I've.
22:46
Been hungover, beaten up, stole food.
22:50
Had an hour and a half hike, dragged myself half to death,
22:54
got zapped, half back to life, everything's fine, rebuild.
22:58
Well, I can. Dispense eggs again, but the
23:01
lemonade dispenser is doing steak sauce and reconnect with
23:05
friends old. And new.
23:08
Well, well, well, what's the trash?
23:11
Fortunately, though, not everything has been lost.
23:14
The T dispenser still. Works.
23:17
Search for Cyberto pure AP anywhere you find your podcast
23:20
and they're going to cut you. Yeah, they can dry.
23:29
Oh, eighteen, that might actually hit you, although
23:33
they've rolled shitty on damage hits you the chain knife.
23:37
Now, jeez. You see it tear into your armor
23:41
and you take one damage. That's the rule, Yeah.
23:46
Oh, Dodger 21. She slices you again.
23:49
Oh, another good fuck. Oh, and the chain knife takes
23:54
you the other way, pushing you back towards the other
23:57
combatants in this area. All right, bitch, I'm sorry, but
24:04
I'm really going to have to take you out here.
24:06
I mean, and I don't mean to take you out for like a nice, you
24:09
know, dinner and drinks because I was never interested.
24:12
I just want to let the record show instead.
24:15
I do mean take. I'd never be interested in
24:17
someone who can't dance all. Right.
24:20
That was a bitch. Clearly I'm going to, you know,
24:26
raise my. Yeah.
24:28
All right. Just shut up, all right?
24:31
And I shoot her. 24 That ain't bad.
24:36
That's not bad. That's not that's not bad.
24:39
See, The thing is, is you watch her smirk at you in the
24:42
battlefield. And.
24:46
She half dodges a bullet and it glints off the top of her
24:48
shoulder. Yep, half dodging is still
24:51
getting here. She tries to dodge the other
24:55
way, running a 21 again. Holy crap.
24:57
She's fast, but still not enough, and she takes yet
25:01
another hit. She's holding on for dear life
25:04
and gritting her teeth as she looks at you with this chain
25:06
knife in her hand, dripping with a little bit of your blood
25:09
piece. Of shit.
25:13
Yeah, right back at you. Meanwhile, on the other side of
25:17
the battlefield, Retro. OK, so that's all fire in that
25:24
red circle. I can't do anything about that.
25:27
I'm going to move where Iona is. That's fine, I will happily get
25:34
out of your way. I.
25:36
Appreciate it. Remy of course is still
25:40
glitching a bit from that attack and I think they might be a bit
25:45
scrambled, confused and have started to take on the persona
25:50
they were putting on before. Cole.
25:52
Of Babylon. Yep, I am the horror of Babylon.
25:55
I'm going to grab one of these red barrels.
25:58
Cool. Look toward.
25:59
The top one, the middle one or the bottom one?
26:01
The top one, the one that's near Iona.
26:05
Cool. And I want to Chuck it.
26:08
Well, yeah, I want to Chuck it at this scabbard, just on the
26:12
edge of the foam, kind of close. Try to make it so that way.
26:16
We'll try the Dodge Vendel if possible.
26:18
Great. Yeah.
26:19
And hopefully get it to explode. If you get it right here, it'll
26:24
hit both of them. There's a sweet spot that you
26:27
could get both of them if you really tried.
26:30
You have to roll really well and cause the barrel 10 damage.
26:33
I would like to really try before chucking it.
26:38
I would like to use my tool hand, or just maybe even my
26:43
cybernetic hand altogether to puncture a hole in the barrel.
26:47
Sure. Tipping it not so.
26:48
So it doesn't spill out just yet, right?
26:51
And oh God, what am I going to need to roll for this?
26:54
That brawling. Brawling if you want to throw
26:56
something, yeah. All right, Yeah, I'm just going
26:59
to pick up the barrel and my and I still have my dark voice on
27:03
and just just saying to myself, no opportunity wasted is a sin
27:07
preserved. I'm going to burn all heretics
27:12
and Nicholson fire. Amazing.
27:17
And you throw it. Yeah, I'm trying to.
27:19
It won't click. It's it's, come on.
27:23
There it is, 18. Oh yeah.
27:26
Yeah, that's that's a professional task.
27:29
You are professional whore of Babylon.
27:34
And it lands right smack dab between them.
27:37
Now I'm hoping that that puncture that I've I've made is
27:41
causing whatever causes it to explode to have leaked out and
27:45
maybe catch from off of going over a thing of fire that I had
27:50
to throw over. All right, what's your luck
27:52
right now? My luck is 5.
27:55
OK, if you're all A5 or an under on a dice, it explodes without
27:59
you having to do anything else. What?
28:01
What does AD 10? OK, you want AD 10?
28:04
5 and under. Yeah, you have to under your
28:07
luck, yes. Nope.
28:12
Oh no. It.
28:14
Sits there with a puncture. I have an inspiration.
28:17
Hold on. No.
28:18
No, no, it's fine. No, no, no.
28:20
Save your inspiration. I do also but.
28:23
Maybe inspiration? Just retro gets to have this
28:25
moment where they you know, they're now fully in character
28:28
because they're they're concussed and they throw it
28:31
thinking it's going to explode. It doesn't.
28:33
I really thought that was going to work.
28:34
Hopefully we're just saying that really badass Lauren.
28:36
But like, it's not. He didn't roll enough to have
28:39
that moment, but now there is a barrel between these two guys
28:42
who are screaming in agony, so that's a plus for your team
28:45
Retro. It's a plus.
28:47
I just I'm having a do to cause damage.
28:50
Back on the other side of the battlefield, the most damaged of
28:53
these Scabbers tries to shoot Jeb.
28:58
You have to roll a crit to avoid that.
29:00
It's going to be temp, but here we go.
29:02
Not enough? The bullet hits you in the side
29:05
and causes 9 damage. Get.
29:09
Fucked. Dodger 13.
29:12
No, you're not hitting me, Dwas. Oh yes, amazing.
29:14
The bullet flies off into the distance and you can hear it
29:18
almost land as it hits nothing. Fuck.
29:21
Bitch. Hey.
29:24
It's my, it's my new word. I've been kind of using it all
29:26
session for some reason, I don't really know why.
29:29
Back on the other side of the battlefield, Vendel has just
29:33
landed in front of one of the only unscathed Maelstrom
29:37
Scabbers in the whole area. A good evening.
29:40
Hi, what's up? Face Meet Sword.
29:46
That's really good. That's a 20.
29:48
Yeah. Not enough.
29:49
The mouse from Scabba gets hit for seven.
29:52
Dam, is that really it? Oh yeah, 22 ones.
29:54
Yeah, that's what happens. Pretty good.
29:57
I can attack twice. Short can.
29:59
Backhand 20 ha ha. The Maelstrom Scabba grabs
30:05
Vendel's hand as they swipe towards them and pushes them
30:09
back. Vendel has to roll evasion.
30:11
Vendel No. Oh.
30:12
Shit. I mean, is it against the crit
30:15
or is there a new brawl? No.
30:16
It's not against, no, no, it's not against the crit, OK.
30:18
It is against a. It's against an 11.
30:22
Ha ha. Ha, so instead of dodging into
30:25
the foam they dodge just back and a disengage in combat.
30:29
You thought you could get me that easily?
30:31
I'm not just any lackey. That's funny, you look like any
30:34
lackey to me. Oh man.
30:37
Yeah, yeah, I'm savage. Fuck you.
30:41
That's true. So.
30:42
Meanwhile, on the other side of the field, as you start to
30:45
listen to the call on the other side, Jeb, somebody tries to
30:48
shoot you with a bullet from a gun.
30:50
Who the hell? Dodge 1424.
30:53
You dodge fairlessly. They're not bad going up against
30:57
four people and then the guy tries to shoot you again and his
31:00
gun jabs. Motherfucker.
31:02
How is this another crip fail? I don't know, get good.
31:07
Fuck you. Fuck you.
31:11
Fuck. You back on the other side of
31:12
the battlefield, the Maelstrom Scabba goes to attack Vendel.
31:18
Oh yeah. Yeah.
31:20
Vendel has to dodge AT12O. Piece of cake. 20.
31:25
Yes. Amazing.
31:28
Oh, you have to roll a crit to avoid that?
31:30
That's a crit 27. This.
31:33
This isn't cake anymore. Oh.
31:35
Shit. Not enough.
31:37
No, not enough. They take with the the armor
31:41
goes down by 1. I can do this, don't worry.
31:43
The armor goes down by 1 and they take 6 damage.
31:49
Ow fuck Wow, getting hit hurts. Iona, this hurts.
31:54
Yeah, you're starting to look a little not so good, so maybe
31:57
stay away. One of the guys in the phone
32:01
screams and you you hear his insides push out of him with a
32:06
gruesome spurt and he dies. Christ, Oh geez, oh God, Jesus
32:14
and. Then the guy who popped out of
32:18
the porta potty experiences exactly the same thing.
32:23
They're malfunctioning. More of them are, slowly but
32:26
surely. Wait.
32:27
All we had to do was just wait, and then they'd just die.
32:31
Maybe. The ones in the foam, yeah.
32:33
Wait, what's up with the foam? I'm not over that.
32:35
Flush. It's weak and they have no
32:37
spirit. The foam is bad.
32:39
Don't touch the foam. God, don't touch the.
32:41
Foam, so if you if you did pull the foam into that other one,
32:44
don't be near it when it explodes because it'll it'll
32:46
hurt a lot. All right, don't go into the
32:49
foam or your insides will become your outsides.
32:52
I'm reading loud and clear. OK, Vendel, you're not looking
32:58
good over there. I'm going to come support.
33:00
As you climb up onto that box, you see the red barrel.
33:04
It could still be useful, I don't know.
33:08
It's not near anyone. Yeah, because the other two, the
33:10
two people they that it was near have died from the foam.
33:14
I see, well I do want to take out the one that's nearest to
33:21
Vendel right now because they are struggling a bit.
33:26
So can I use the OR is that no that because Vendel would be?
33:32
If you did a really good shot and made it roll back and have
33:36
it explode behind the guy in theory.
33:39
That's seems like a bit of a stretch.
33:42
It is. A big stretch.
33:43
Julie can do it by curving a bullet.
33:45
You can. You.
33:47
Flip your forearm at the same time, it'll curve the bullet.
33:53
That's a little far. You know, I'm going to go for,
33:58
I'm going to try to go for the scaver.
33:59
Actually, that's on Vendel. Sure.
34:03
It might be a bit difficult because they're far away. 17 OK,
34:11
OK. I don't think that, you know
34:16
what, I'm going to use my inspiration and I'm going to add
34:19
some luck to this, OK? There you need Do you want to
34:23
know the DV? Yes.
34:25
OK, so in theory, if you were, if you if you were as close as
34:31
you could be. OK.
34:33
Thank you. That's. 35 feet, 35 yards.
34:37
OK, so you. Need a 20 or more?
34:41
I'm going to add 4 luck points to the shot.
34:44
Damn. I didn't even need to, but I'm
34:47
going to keep those four luck points.
34:50
Damn you take the shot. Expend them.
34:53
Yes, you. You.
34:54
Take the shot and the bullet flies right past Vendel's ear
35:01
and straight into this Maelstrom scabber, who takes a step back
35:05
as they get hit. And I shoot again, and I'm going
35:12
to expend two more luck points. Damn, damn.
35:19
Oh. And I lose my inspiration.
35:23
So that's that. That's that, yeah.
35:26
Please do not shoot Bendel. You shoot, you shoot.
35:29
Oh yeah, Bendel has to dodge the bullet now.
35:33
Bendel. Bendel Evasion Beta 15.
35:38
No. I've I've.
35:42
Bendel it's not paying attention and gets shot in the back by
35:44
Vivi. Ow fuck ow Vivi.
35:47
Your gun is still pointed out and smoking.
35:51
Ow. Sorry I've been shaming, I was
35:54
trying to help. You shot me.
35:59
I'll fix it. You better, you shot me.
36:05
Sorry, Bendel. Meanwhile, on the other side of
36:07
the battlefield, Jeb, you just hear Bendel say you shot me.
36:11
Hey, hey, what's going on back there?
36:13
As someone shoots at you, God. Damn it.
36:16
Been a 12, yes you dodged the first shot and you see Vendel
36:19
holding their back and in the distance you can see you can see
36:23
BB holding their gun up looking a little remorseful.
36:26
Oops. I don't know what's going on
36:28
back there. I don't like it.
36:29
Dodge 1423. Yeah, you dodge effortlessly.
36:32
Amazing. I'm back on the other side of
36:35
the battlefield. It's Iona's turn.
36:37
Everybody's got this handled. I'm actually going to sneak back
36:40
out and I'm going to try and make my way to the other
36:43
entrance. Oh, OK.
36:45
So I'm just. So you can you can go twice your
36:48
movement then. I I don't remember what my
36:50
movement is. It's your move step, yeah,
36:52
which? Is where?
36:56
It's like at the very top of your pay, it's like the easiest
36:58
one to find. No, yeah.
37:00
Six, yeah. So you can move 12.
37:03
You actually go really far. 12 diagonals are 1, not 3.
37:06
OK, cool. Perfect.
37:07
So you make your way around the outside of the compound.
37:09
I'm. Coming, Jeb.
37:11
Yeah. You hear over the radio but I
37:13
owner is on their way as the chain knife Revs up again and
37:17
pinky attacks. You got your 23.
37:19
Coming in loud and clear but one second just got to deal with
37:21
this. Oh shit.
37:24
Oh my goodness. Just a.
37:26
Crit invasion. Amazing.
37:31
Jeb is Neo. Jeb is Neo and now you have to
37:35
dodge at 18 but you get plus one for your crit that you've just
37:37
got. Great.
37:39
Never mind, that's two crits in a row.
37:41
Holy shit Jeb is Neo as the second chain knife attack flies
37:47
through the air and whips past you, which is you'd feel really
37:49
cool. You can smell Petro and Jeb
37:52
after these two attacks. It is your turn.
37:54
So I am half surrounded, you could say.
37:57
Yes. So so Jeb like gracefully
38:02
redirects the chain knife and it in one fail swoop 1 swift motion
38:10
pistol whips pinky right in the face with the butt of one of his
38:15
grand pappies Colt 40 fives. Fuck you.
38:21
And she dodges. God damn it, you know I was
38:25
never good at it hand to hand combat anyway.
38:28
Fuck you. Bang Bang.
38:31
Oh wow, from 1 crit to another crit fell on brawling for a 14
38:35
where she dodges effortlessly and a crit success with your
38:39
grand puppy's colt 40 fives. She dodges, gives, gives you A,
38:43
and then you shoot in the face and she drops down dead because
38:46
she only had five HP. You're God damn right.
38:51
Oh shit, pinky's dead. Dad, you stayed here this time.
38:56
And you watch blood come out of her mouth as her body lays
38:59
lifeless on the floor and one of the Maelstrom Scabbers around
39:02
you runs away from you. And on the other side of
39:05
Battlefield Retro, you're standing right behind Phoebe and
39:09
you watch her pull her gun down after shooting Vendel in the
39:11
back. You know, it's all right, I
39:19
tried to do something cool too and it didn't work out.
39:21
So don't feel too bad I. Guess it happens to the best of
39:24
us. Yeah, stay in character, though.
39:27
We got to stay in character. I have.
39:28
I have a plan after this. OK.
39:31
I want to go and check this door out.
39:33
Oh shit, who's that? That's E tank he ran in there
39:36
after he threw a grenade at you. The.
39:38
Plushy guy. Will.
39:40
You kill him. It's up to your discretion.
39:43
I can't hear you. I'm.
39:44
I'm outside the building, Sorry. He did take my plushie.
39:49
We, we did a trade, I mean. I.
39:54
I I heard I heard BB said that and that gives enough reason for
39:58
retro I guess tell you exactly what I want to try to do.
40:01
Retro wants to try to grapple with this E tank at the same
40:08
time pull out their. Ball and cup that they had
40:12
gotten that has airplane wire has a connection and use that as
40:18
a groat. Sure, roll rolling.
40:20
You get plus one because you're using a tool.
40:23
Can I argue basic tech? Yes.
40:25
Yes. Wait, what do we do you?
40:33
Just groat that, ma'am. What do we do?
40:37
Oh my God. I win, I'm up by 1.
40:40
Yeah, but they rolled a crit. But I'm up by 1.
40:44
That's the. Rules has written right?
40:46
Like crits don't mean shit. The only thing that crit means
40:48
is that you get to roll again, right?
40:51
Rules was written. I'm going to say in this
40:54
instance you did beat them. However, because they rolled a
40:57
crit, you take 4 damage in the process of grappling this
41:00
person. Sure, in the process.
41:02
So while I I tackle who of course is punching me and while
41:10
I try to get them in the rear mount, of course elbowing me in
41:16
the in the chest and such. You know, I'm take my ball and
41:21
cup and I was able to get it around his neck and then use my
41:26
mathematics skills in leverage to pin both of my knees into
41:31
their back and wrench myself with like that.
41:36
Oh shit. OK, what's that, 3D six?
41:39
Yeah. 3D6. 3D6 OK, still closes down.
41:49
He's joking at least. Yeah, you're now checking this
41:52
guy out. Meanwhile, on the other side of
41:53
the battlefield, most reused sound clip in this episode.
41:57
Jeb, some one of these scabbers shoots you again.
42:03
Dodge 24 18 not enough you take. Oh Yep, that one got me.
42:08
Yep. You take and you take what?
42:11
What's your armor right now? Oh yeah, yeah, Oh yeah.
42:14
You take 5 damage and your armor gets bladed by 1 and this GABA
42:20
shoot you again. Dodge an 18.
42:23
Oh boy. Yep, looks like my my luck has
42:26
run out. And you take 4 damage.
42:31
After the ablation. Yeah, great.
42:33
Vendel is still holding on the other side of the battlefield.
42:36
Vendel is holding their side where they got shot by Phoebe.
42:40
Ow. Fuck, we weren't friends.
42:45
Damn, and Vendel points that gun towards the Maelstrom Scava.
42:51
Fuck you. And shoots this guy blank and he
42:56
takes a whole lot of damage. This gun shoots twice, bitch.
43:01
And they pull the trigger again. Whoa.
43:09
And after those words, Jeb, you hear the word bitch and you
43:12
swing your head and watch Vendel execute this maelstrom in the
43:17
head with their crit 23 damage, which is genuine.
43:22
This guy has 10 Hales left. Trashed Almighty.
43:26
The back of their head blows open and blood cascades across
43:29
the tarmac towards you. Oh.
43:32
Shit, oh shit. Meow, damn it.
43:39
While you're watching this, Jeb on the other side of the other
43:42
scabber points a gun at you and shoots.
43:45
You dodge at 12. And here comes, looks like my
43:49
luck's run out. Yeah, 12 to meow. 21 Yeah, you
43:53
dodge it easily. Easily Dodger 17 all.
43:57
Right. Yeah.
44:00
Hell yeah. Nice retro.
44:03
It is Ethan's turn and he tries to drag you out of the tiny room
44:08
you guys were in together. Roll something to stop him.
44:12
Can I react to that? Yes you can.
44:15
I would like to because I've still got him in the rear mount,
44:20
right? Right.
44:22
I would like to, as he's running out, let go of the groat.
44:27
Like release it from his neck, kick off him backwards.
44:33
OK, in order to do that you have to beat a 19.
44:37
OK, that's a crit 29. Everyone and retro flips E tank
44:42
around, kicks him in the back and he flies into the foam.
44:48
The last thing you see end of the foam is like the head of a
44:51
really cute plushy capybara. Vivi Vivi just watches this
44:58
stunned and like that Retro just pulled this move.
45:02
That's that's amazing. I can't believe the roles today.
45:04
It's insane. Yeah, just does a flip right off
45:07
the back as they go in lands. Does the superhero think?
45:11
Because now since Retro does something cool, their brain is
45:14
not clicked back into the persona man.
45:18
Where we've always felt longer. And you can hear Etag dying in
45:23
the foam. He's inhaled it.
45:24
He's long, he's gone. He's he's going to die.
45:27
And it is in this moment on the battlefields that all of the
45:31
leaders of this group have died. You have eviscerated this team.
45:36
Just like every other time. Sure, it is at this moment that
45:41
two things happen. One, it is Phoebe's turn, and
45:44
two, Phoebe, you see Iona appear on the other side of the
45:48
battlefield, bursting through the door at the bottom to come
45:52
help Jeb. OK, it is my turn.
45:59
Everybody's done. I go to help Bendel.
46:05
Bendel's clasping their side. Yeah, you're not going to shoot
46:08
me, are you? No, I'm going to heal you.
46:11
Sorry Vendel. It's OK, I'm the peripheral of
46:16
my eye. I'm eyeing that capybara
46:18
plushie, but I realize Vendel needs my help.
46:21
First 11 moment. 20 Yeah, First aid, you give Vendel 2D6 health.
46:34
What's happen? I'll do it.
46:38
Thank you. That'll yeah.
46:41
For now, we'll fix you up. More later.
46:44
And on the other side of the battlefield, Iona, you step into
46:47
this other entrance as a Scava runs past you, running away from
46:53
Jeb, and he's standing there accosted by two gang members,
46:58
the last two here. Come on, bring it now.
47:03
As I run in I I see the barrels to my left and I recollect Remy
47:12
puncturing a hole in it and tossing it.
47:14
And so I'm going to follow that lead.
47:16
Nice. I'm going to take a nail file
47:19
out of me my bag and puncture a hole into the side of it and I'm
47:25
going to try and loft it towards Jeb to shoot.
47:30
Amazing. And I'm going to put some lock
47:33
into it. I would hope so.
47:34
I'm. Going to put I'm going to put 4
47:36
lock into it. Amazing.
47:39
All right. Would be a sin to not learn from
47:41
one's mistakes. Indeed.
47:42
Wait, I'm supposed to shoot this thing?
47:44
You will. Oh, you will.
47:50
That's an 18. Yeah, it flies behind the two
47:55
Maelstrom Scabbers and hits the. Wall.
47:58
Is that the sand now? Yes.
48:02
Oh guy, I mean do it. Do it now or wait till my turn.
48:07
No, it is actually your turn. Everyone between Pinky's dead,
48:10
so the only you're next. Great chick, chick.
48:17
And boom. You take a step back, don't you,
48:20
Jeb? Yeah.
48:23
Nice, Jeb. Step back.
48:27
I'm out here. Maybe.
48:29
Maybe another and maybe another one.
48:32
What do you like here? That perfect?
48:34
Perfect. Oh, great.
48:36
Bye. And the bullet flies across them
48:38
doing 8 damage, which is how much this barrel has left, and
48:44
the barrel explodes, killing the last two scabbers here.
48:51
Oh. My.
48:54
God, Oh my, so. Heavy.
48:56
That was a lot. You know, I don't even, I don't
48:59
even remember the last time I took 15 damage.
49:02
Oh man. Yeah, I was.
49:04
I don't know the last time I ran that much.
49:07
We are we are we all going to get in in this beautiful ride of
49:11
ours or? Yes, but first I need that
49:14
plushie. Well, also it's missing a wheel.
49:19
The plushie. Next time on no latency. 4th
49:41
wheel. See Vanna White's only got 3
49:44
wheels. Do we not have a spare on Vanna
49:46
White? Maybe be a bit resourceful.
49:49
And I I don't know what the other wheel looks like so I
49:52
can't be of help there. God damn.
49:54
It Oh hell, hell, look in here. Maybe you guys can help me get
49:59
this plushy I. Hate looking for things.
50:02
Oh. Shit, Oh shit.
50:07
Yeah, Jason. Are you are you alright?
50:08
Oh my God, our stuff. Our stuff should be at the van.
50:11
Definitely want to pickpocket everyone of them.
50:15
French toast. Come on.
50:17
Scooby Great. I've had a lot of money, yes.
50:19
Through the flesh is weak, but Domino's spirit is willing.
50:23
Wait, isn't that what we were doing?
50:25
I am so tired. Let's go for the one shoulder.
50:28
I ran so much, the more I'm going to go home.
