S2E62 - Fighting Frog · No Latency

0:02
Last time on no latency. Usually screams bad.
0:06
We might want to run away. It's valid.
0:08
What's this about sleeping? We need Abbott.
0:10
It's. Not pissed them off.
0:11
I know who you are. You're not an.
0:13
AI And where is Frog? The beasts.
0:16
Wait a minute, The Beast. We should go.
0:17
You have a relic ship. It's a safe state for your
0:20
brain. Like anybody really has a
0:22
fucking. Relic ship, we're going, we're
0:24
going. We're going, we're going.
0:25
You never know when somebody's going to be injured and you need
0:28
a quickie. A room full of ammo and goody
0:30
like you do before you go into a big battle.
0:32
OK, we're going. Huh.
0:33
Jump in. Hurry, hurry.
0:35
Come on, I'll grab your hand. Reaching my other hand out to
0:38
grab Iona. Oh, I mean, we are storming the
0:41
castle. We are storming the castle,
0:43
yeah. I kicked the door open.
0:45
Well, looks like we're going to have to totally fuck you up,
1:02
you get it? Cause 'cause he's a frog.
1:04
Not not that frogs or toads actually them are different, but
1:08
I don't think you get the point. In case you were wondering,
1:11
frogs have long legs, longer than their head and body, which
1:14
are made for hopping. Where toads on the other hand,
1:16
they've got much shorter legs. They they kind of just crawl
1:19
around rather than hop. So if if they hop, they're a
1:22
frog. And you know, if they don't live
1:26
there, they're toad. Because what toads got them big
1:29
booties? Toads walk, Frogs hop.
1:31
What are you saying? Toads.
1:35
Toads can hop a little bit. Yeah, yeah.
1:37
But they, you know, they just kind of like kind of crawl
1:39
around, but but frogs, they they got super long legs made for
1:42
Hawking. So we're here to see just kind
1:45
of how you know. There's a sketch.
1:46
Yeah, what VB said. Also VB.
1:47
Could you say that a bit louder? A bit quiet.
1:49
We're here to kill. Yeah.
1:51
Sorry, sorry. Sorry.
1:54
And then and JP does the thing where he takes the the, the drum
1:57
out of of the revolver. Nice.
2:01
Just. Just so you can put that sound
2:02
effect in there. Go for initiative.
2:05
Right, right, right. Yeah.
2:06
Yeah. Go.
2:06
For initiative. That's my life this week.
2:09
Hey, fuck you. Whoa.
2:10
Oh, yeah. Let's go, Bendel.
2:11
All right. OK, Time for you to figure out
2:15
what Bendel's going to do. Well, I I think I mean, I guess
2:18
I, you know, I'm. Here in a while be.
2:20
Back here. Do you do you still have a a
2:24
shield wall? No, I just have a shield.
2:28
Like a a body 1/2 body shield or.
2:30
I have a bulletproof shield, but I don't have the shield thingy
2:33
anymore actually. Not the one that slams into the
2:35
ground. That I have.
2:38
You do? Yes.
2:40
Oh, I thought I had that. Oh.
2:43
Well, hopefully someone has it, because that would be really
2:46
nice. I thought that was one that was
2:48
in my arm. Oh, that's yours.
2:50
That's not anyone else. 'S Yeah.
2:53
Vivi had one. I had one.
2:56
And then you lost it. You should have put your name on
2:59
a VV You got to write your name and and I have.
3:03
A lot of things I need to keep track of.
3:06
I've got medical gear. I've got a hoverboard.
3:10
The hoverboard is sick. The.
3:12
Hoverboard does take up a lot of memory space.
3:15
I didn't get you like. Some tile tags?
3:17
Isn't it some tile tags? Yeah, that's a good idea.
3:21
Should put one on my hoverboard. Well, I'm, I'm still going to
3:25
stand out here in, you know, the open while the rest of you
3:30
hides. Take advantage.
3:32
Go ahead and do that. I I I am going to take cover, if
3:35
that's all right. I mean, I figure I'll just start
3:38
shooting and then if if you see, if you see that I'm getting kind
3:42
of targeted by everybody, maybe you guys come out and like grab
3:45
me or otherwise extract them. But I figure I I go out there
3:50
and I start shooting, what else am I good for?
3:52
Sounds like a plan. Sounds like a pretty, pretty
3:56
good plan, Jeb. I think Combat should probably
3:59
be starting soon. I look at how much.
4:01
Yeah, I'm. Going.
4:03
To go first. Oh, oh, well, I'm going to go
4:05
1st. I'm going to do it.
4:06
I'm going to, I'm going to join VV in the other room because it
4:09
feels mean for them to be alone. Thank you.
4:12
So I'm going to, I'm going to move out into the into the room.
4:15
All right, and. Say fuck you, reptilian,
4:19
reptilian. Fuck you.
4:22
Shut the fuck up. Oh well, you don't want to be so
4:26
rude. Oh.
4:27
I'm right here with you, Vendel. Hell yeah.
4:31
So you're pretty far though. Vendel Vendel, could you please
4:35
activate your Shields? Oh yeah, no, I'll do that.
4:39
Thank you. Before you go out, All right.
4:41
OK And then Vendel is just gonna, let's see if we destroy
4:47
these tanks that gives frog less power.
4:49
Is that correct in thinking these people tanks?
4:53
The the you? You'd have to find out.
4:56
You don't know. You don't know.
5:00
Is. But I don't know.
5:01
They're they're people. I'm just kidding.
5:04
They're just batteries. They're like AA's.
5:07
Exactly, it is GM. Is there a a spot with an access
5:14
panel on the tank? Vendel's only moved three
5:18
spaces. I I see that they've moved into
5:20
the room and I believe their move is 6, correct?
5:23
La La La La true. Yep, OK, so in theory they could
5:28
shoot or punch twice and do like a bonus action.
5:31
So if your bonus action if you want, you can role perception to
5:35
see if they can see any. Final role perception.
5:38
Oh God, now you have to roll for this game.
5:42
Wow, I thought this was a role-playing game.
5:46
So we just pretend to, right? We just pretend to roll, don't
5:49
tell the audience, but we've never actually rolled.
5:51
Yeah, it's all just this is all just improv, baby.
5:54
Perception 13 Vendel looks around and there's not a lot in
5:58
here. On the north and the South side
6:00
of the room, there are these large transformer like machines
6:03
that you've seen all through this facility and they're
6:06
glowing green like a lot of the rest of the room.
6:08
In front of you is Frog standing in front of a pod that he must
6:12
have been sitting in recently because it's still steaming.
6:15
As he steps forward and they're in two lines.
6:18
On either side of him are these pods with people suspended in
6:22
fluid. Now these people might as well
6:24
be skeletons. They're so gaunt.
6:27
And in front of each of the lines is a round, circular port
6:32
on the ground. But in the heat of the battle,
6:35
as it has just started, with Vendel only rolling a 13, that's
6:39
pretty much all they can discern.
6:41
Fuck. Fuck.
6:42
Fuck. I know.
6:44
I wish I could see more. I know.
6:46
Oh, and there are two drones in here too.
6:48
I've definitely seen there are two.
6:49
There are two cloud drones. Well, Vendel, I say take out the
6:53
the people tanks, because if Abbott's using them, so is Frog.
6:58
OK. Bang Bang Bang Bang.
7:02
Bang, bang. So we That's 25 feet away.
7:06
Which is like, literally what I rolled.
7:09
Hell yeah. It's 15 feet away, and Vendale
7:11
shoots this tank to the South. He blows a hole through the side
7:16
of the glass and it pings around inside and you hear this husk of
7:20
a human start to scream as it steps out into the space covered
7:26
in this. Fish.
7:27
Sticky fluid that you've only ever seen seen in sci-fi movies.
7:31
EW Gross. That is uncomfortable,
7:34
uncomfortable. The second shot, however, blows
7:38
a hole through the side of this husk and Bendel blows their left
7:42
arm off. What did you do it I can't see?
7:47
It it let it out. Now there are more of them.
7:50
Oh, maybe we don't. I don't know.
7:53
They must mean they must have less power though, right?
7:56
I mean, look, that's that's one whole AA out of their system.
8:00
What Fucking who? Who is not Iona?
8:04
Vendel also said that there were green generators.
8:07
That's also probably bad. And and it looks like there's a
8:12
big AI core at the bottom of the room too.
8:14
Not shit. Right there.
8:18
I can't see. I got a wall.
8:19
I also can't see I'm not in there.
8:21
OK, I'll actually actually now I gotta be honest, I have no idea
8:24
where y'all are, but actually they're they're that AI core.
8:29
I'm taking tactical cover. Tactical cover.
8:32
I like that. Yeah, that's good.
8:35
So should I also shoot the creepy husks or?
8:41
Maybe you should be an Angel of mercy and just.
8:44
Or an Angel of death. Your choice.
8:47
Oh, I like this, these choices. Remember, if you want to
8:52
discover something, you can roll something esoteric and ask me a
8:54
question. If I shoot the generator do does
9:00
VV feel confident it will do something?
9:03
The object behind frog is not a generator.
9:05
That's the AI core. Yes.
9:08
All right, let's not shoot that it's also.
9:10
Like a good? Lot of feet away.
9:13
It's far so the one here these are.
9:17
Are these all like generators for?
9:19
You've you've seen this kind of design before because you've
9:23
been in this facility but they they are fairly tough.
9:27
OK, I see. All right.
9:29
Well, I mean, I guess I can kill this husk.
9:35
I will shoot. I will shoot at the husk that
9:39
came out of this pod thing with my Sandru.
9:42
Hello, cutie. Ultracate Salt Pistol.
9:46
Nice. 19 Very good. Yeah, that hits for sure.
9:50
That's that's 10 feet away You you gave me that.
9:53
Definitely hits for 14 damage. You watch your bullet rip
9:58
through its flesh like it's sealed, and they fall to the
10:01
ground in a wet mess of diluted blood and groans disturbingly
10:10
soggy. Yes.
10:12
That's pretty gross. Left him too long in the milk.
10:15
Why does this sound wet in there?
10:21
The husks are very soggy. EW, yeah.
10:24
At least you didn't say moist. No, we have 12345. 6.
10:29
We have 14 more to go. Oh joy.
10:34
All right, does. Anybody have like a grenade or
10:38
like a rocket launcher? I haven't seen the area rounds
10:43
that might work. I got I got a Electro Electro
10:47
rounds that's. You've got one more shot.
10:50
What are you going to? Do.
10:51
Shit. Sorry.
10:53
I'm going to shoot the other one.
10:56
I guess I'll just shoot at this one up here, OK?
10:59
So that's yeah, no, you hit it, but your damage not great, is
11:02
not a lot. It's enough to free the husk
11:05
from the pod. Another pod Pistons open.
11:08
It shuts down as this guy steps down of it and he turns to you
11:12
and groans. But your crit fail on damage
11:14
means all you did was damage the pod, not the husk.
11:17
So he's at full health. Damn, that's.
11:19
It. For me.
11:23
Well, oh, you have come to my lair, says Frog as they step
11:27
forward. You have entered my little
11:32
doping. I can fight Abbott and you and
11:36
they jump down from the podium. Over like a tiny step.
11:40
There's no need to do this jump. It is an overtly dramatic
11:43
moment. At the same time.
11:47
Is he? Is he hopping or is he crawling?
11:49
Is he a toad or a frog? I'm putting 1 foot in front of
11:54
the other. Oh, he's a toad.
11:56
He's just named Frog. Jab.
11:59
Oh yeah. I hear you can dodge bullets.
12:06
I mean it's been done before. It's not it's not really like a
12:11
for sure thing. You know, it's kind of, it's a
12:13
little bit of the science. Well, and he looks at VV and he
12:19
looks at Vendel and he looks at Jeb and unfortunately rolls 6:00
12:26
on that D6. And that means he shoots.
12:29
Jeb pulls out A Arasaka waa Bull Pup assault weapon.
12:38
You watch them flick this little switch on the side of it and
12:40
they pointed at Jeb and pull the trigger.
12:43
All right, so just to be clear. Jeb.
12:46
This is a humanoid AI man, not a frog man, no.
12:53
He's glowing green though, all right.
12:55
Just wanted to make sure everyone's on the same page what
12:57
this guy looks like. And apparently he's sponsored by
13:01
Arasaka. B16 18 The bullets fly across
13:09
your left hand side and into the darkness behind you.
13:12
You hear that ricochet around and and miss.
13:17
Oh shit, you something. See.
13:19
So it can't happen. It's just a cool.
13:22
I mean, look at listen, it's stressful either way.
13:24
I. Can't see that dodge this.
13:29
And he shoots you again, BA17. OK.
13:34
And you duck and they go straight over your head.
13:36
Whoa. Fuck yeah, I mean, are we gonna
13:40
just, are we gonna keep doing this or?
13:43
Yes. You decided to shoot the one
13:45
that can dodge bullets Frog. I mean, that's not you.
13:48
You're. Not the You're not the smartest
13:50
villain. Frog looks at you.
13:52
It gives you this look. I did not hear that you were
13:56
good at quits. Well done.
13:58
On the clipping or on the dodging?
14:00
He was complimenting me. Oh, sorry.
14:05
He's got. He's got like, frog eyes, so
14:07
they look on both sides. Oh, sorry.
14:09
He was looking at you, were looking at me.
14:14
Behind Frog, a drone cloud moves forward and it hovers beside
14:19
frog menacingly going towards VB.
14:22
Can you explain how something can hover menacingly?
14:27
It's got a really menacing noise, yeah.
14:29
And also it flashes red with its tiny beady eyes from all this
14:32
little Swami things. Oh.
14:34
Yeah, that vibe, man. That vibe is not.
14:38
He's just standing. There, it spells scary vibes.
14:42
The words in the air? Scary vibes.
14:45
It smells like clove cigarettes. Oh man.
14:47
Nothing is scarier than just directly telling us that.
14:52
It's scary. I mean, I get it.
14:55
I do the same thing. I go, oh, oh, right, right,
14:59
right. Bang.
15:01
And I I. Shoot the from there, yeah. 5.
15:05
10152025 that's 30 way, It's not so bad.
15:10
I guess I can move and then move back.
15:12
That's the thing I can do. So I'll move up here and then
15:16
take it. Take a Pew Pew.
15:18
Hi, Jeb. Oh, OK.
15:21
Bye. Bye, Jeb.
15:22
That. Was great.
15:24
Is that twice? Yeah, it's twice.
15:26
Yes, it was first. Shot.
15:27
I'm assuming the first shot you're shooting.
15:29
I was shooting for our both jams actually.
15:31
All right. OK.
15:32
So your first shot is 24 and frog.
15:37
He gets to dodge because he has a high reflex.
15:42
OK. Damn it.
15:44
All right, so he tries to dodge the first bullet and it flies
15:48
towards him, causing 8 damage. A crit fail on damage.
15:52
My guy, that is. It happened twice actually.
15:56
You see his armour complete. Well done.
16:03
And then your second bullet flies forward, a crit failed,
16:06
goes flying over his shoulder and sticks in the wall.
16:10
I didn't even need to dodge. That one the the the you see,
16:13
the key to to dodge a bullet to see is to is to imagine a a
16:18
little lion coming out of the barrel with a gun.
16:21
That way you can kind of guess where it's headed and then you
16:24
can kind of dodge away from it. So yeah, so you did it there
16:28
that time. That was good.
16:29
That was good. Is that how you do it, Jeb?
16:31
I just do it with like skill. No.
16:34
So it's all about. It's all about a real quick
16:37
trigonometry are. You going to move back before
16:40
it's the next person's turn? Yes, mountains a day right here.
16:44
Yep. Thanks.
16:44
Right. Behind me.
16:45
So I'm your cover. Cool.
16:46
Great. You just right there.
16:49
Right. Good.
16:50
I owner at Tilton. I owner at Jeff 10.
16:57
That's what you sound like. I'm activating my half shield
17:03
and my upside down half shield, so I am fully childed, 5234.
17:10
All right. Just checking.
17:12
Checking how far things away are.
17:14
Oops, sorry. I didn't mean to shut the door
17:15
on you. Remy.
17:25
What? All right, I'm going to shoot
17:28
Frog Froggy Years with this Remware IP Edition handgun, but
17:35
I'm going to pop in a couple incendiary rounds.
17:38
How? Many of those do.
17:39
I got left enough, enough. OK, I don't have any quips for
17:48
you. Bang your.
17:53
First shot is a crit fail and misses.
17:58
Oh, sorry, I I banged the gun against the side of my hand.
18:02
I haven't used this one in a while.
18:03
Bang. 24 Nice, Very good. That's Now you're rolling with
18:11
the Benjamins. That's a three, so that's a 10.
18:16
That's not enough. They try and dodge your second
18:18
bullet and it hits them pretty hard in the chest causing 11
18:23
damage. It is an incendiary round so.
18:26
You ignite the target until the target spends an action to put
18:29
themselves out. They take two damage directly to
18:31
their HP whenever they end their turn.
18:33
Oh, so they are on fire. So take an extra 2 HP damage I
18:37
believe. So your bullet hits Frog and
18:40
various pieces of his actual flesh that have been grafted on
18:44
to his cyberwear starts to ignite.
18:49
You know why is pain such a requirement?
18:53
And it's part of being human, baby.
18:56
Fuck. Oh, oh, and I'm going to move
18:59
back. Coward.
19:03
A little bit. You're very scary.
19:06
I don't really like frogs. Are you looking for an
19:18
adventure? Then join the full misfit
19:21
adventurers to save the D8 epic in their quest to find their way

back home. There's Haven, the Paladin.
19:28
Or I rip off the flesh arm and I beat you to death with it.
19:32
Giddy the Barbarian. That could be my blood.
19:34
It probably will be in the future.
19:36
I'll take it. Brash the Bard.
19:38
Hey, wait, I these were. Different cards.
19:40
I I I swear. And Shelley the Sorcerer.

19:57
And outsmart their foes. This party's great, by the way.
20:01
We're like, cool. I'd kill it.
20:03
TuneIn to save the D8 Epic, a live play D&D podcast that will
20:08
take you on an epic adventure of a lifetime.
20:24
Oh no, Vivi. The husks that got released from
20:27
the pod by you it it's shambling towards you in a very gross way
20:32
there. We go what?
20:36
The fuck? What the fuck did?
20:38
You. Just.
20:40
Do leave you don't die. Leave you, Don't die.
20:43
That's the opposite of what you first rolled.
20:47
So that's a crit. This is it.
20:50
It's a a crit. I just.
20:51
Want to say that it's been really fun.
20:53
It's been. A pleasure playing with you,
20:54
Tracy. Yeah, it's.
20:56
Been great. It's that's it.
20:58
That's it. But it's not crit damage, so all
21:03
it does is hit you. It's also a very shit enemy and
21:08
he great damage to you with his fleshy soggy hands.
21:14
And it's more gross than anything else, but it does cause
21:17
4 HP damage because melee damage is halved.
21:22
You're right. And it gives you.
21:25
This is the worst part. So really is.
21:32
No, it's just. It's just damp, it's very
21:35
unpleasant. They're all clammy.
21:40
Just. But because of that, you do get
21:43
moved back towards Vendel. It follows you one more step,
21:49
attacks you again for 20. Roll evasion all.
21:54
Right. Nope. 14 No, it hits you again
22:00
for for damage. What?
22:12
Oh, just thinking about what it just said.
22:16
Can you speak Husk Retro? Yeah, yeah.
22:21
The husk was actually saying. I'm so sorry I have to do this.
22:24
I'm being forced by a control uncontrollable need that I can't
22:32
seem to put past, but unfortunately that's not.
22:36
Wow, I expected what they said to be a lot shorter because.
22:41
It's a very complex language. Each syllable is an actual like
22:45
word. OK.
22:47
Well, I mean, I'll think about that on my turn.
22:49
It's your turn now. Oh oh shit.
22:52
I've been sitting here the whole time and I haven't thought about
22:53
anything to do. Well, I'm just gonna have to do
22:58
this the retro way, 12340. OK, so that's what it looks like
23:04
out here. What's that right there?
23:11
That's a dead husk on the ground.
23:13
Oh, OK, Retro's gonna go ahead and pull out their camera
23:20
shotgun, turn the barrel into rocket launcher mode.
23:28
I'm just so tired and so sick of all of this.
23:35
So now you're going to have to suffer from my hip penis and
23:40
fire my rocket launcher directly.
23:42
Like in the middle of where I can right there hit and frog the
23:46
drone and the hopefully the husk at the same time.
23:50
Just all splash damage this is going to.
23:54
Nice. Roll for it.
23:56
I mean, I should just be able to do it.
23:57
That's just a retro thing. 20. 4.
24:02
Excellent. That's a 10.
24:05
Oh, so that's their reflex is 8, so it's 18, which is not enough
24:12
yet not enough 20. Even with a crit role, they
24:18
still did not manage to dodge. The others don't have the the
24:23
reflex of eight because one's a cloud drone and the other one's
24:27
a husk. Sorry, a soggy husk that just
24:29
attacked VV VV while experiencing the aftermath of
24:35
the willies. You're looking at yourself, and
24:38
as you look up, a rocket flies right past your right ear, right
24:42
past you, zooms past you, and hits frog while he's on fire and
24:49
explodes around him, causing that's crit failed damage too.
24:54
No, it's not. It's not crit 3 33 damage.
25:00
The the husk is blown back and parts of his body fall off as he
25:06
dissolves into the ground in a mushy pile of diluted blood.
25:11
The drone cloud is vaporized as this rocket explodes and you
25:16
watch it fizzle in the air like those crackly fireworks that you
25:21
enjoyed as a child. And Frog takes one big step back
25:27
and his armor is heavily ablated.
25:30
Holy. Shit.
25:32
And you can just see a retro and they they've straddled that
25:35
shotgun up against their pelvis for extra support as they pull
25:41
it back, you know, spinning around the the trigger guard
25:45
into their hands. Yeah.
25:47
And then takes their hand and then rubs their pelvis because
25:49
it really hurt from the shock. Holy shit, retro.
25:54
That was, I didn't see what happened.
25:55
Feeling froggy? Let's jump.
25:57
Oh, I assume it was that. There you go, That's.
26:03
Wow, Retro, you really fucked him up.
26:05
It's my turn to fuck something up.
26:07
How about it? 12345.
26:12
That's right. Bang, we're not Bang Bang shin
26:16
shin. We're going to slice and dice
26:18
here with our not slice and dice.
26:20
We're going to use our Glass sword, our excess Glass sword.
26:25
One of the things I love about my glass Sword, you stupid frog
26:29
AI. Whoa.
26:30
Do. You know what it is.
26:31
Do you want to know is that it's called the XS Glass Sword?
26:36
Because when I use it, I use it to XS.
26:40
And they swing it out and they attack this guy.
26:44
Oh wow. And that's only A2, which means
26:47
he rolls A10 to dodge and gets hit by this sword and it slices
26:53
across his armour, only doing 7 damage, but you know, a blading
26:59
the armour by 1. Do it again.
27:03
Good now. I'm going to do it again because
27:05
I can do it too. Excess, yeah.
27:07
Fuck you. Nice.
27:09
Oh, did you try and dodge? Did you roll an 8 and only have
27:12
an 8 and have 16? But I roll a 20?
27:13
That's right. Stab, stab.
27:19
That's my new that's my new war Cry stab.
27:21
See. Fuck you.
27:24
Good work, Bendel. Hell yeah, and you're on fire.
27:28
Get fucked. I've got a bonus action, and
27:30
just for fun, I'm going to kick you.
27:33
All right. OK.
27:36
All right. It's.
27:37
Not going to cause damage. Hold on, let me We're just going
27:39
to, we're just going to do this. Bam, get kicked.
27:45
Fucking rolled Taekwondo. I knew there was a reason.
27:47
I trained in that. They kicked this guy.
27:50
Where'd you You can now make Frog move one square.
27:54
Where do you want to move him back?
27:56
Diagonal just back one. OK, and Frog does that back step
28:02
that only ever happened in Power Rangers.
28:04
Whenever they get hit, they can. Arms waving there's.
28:08
Definitely somebody listening who's like, yeah, I know that
28:10
bit, yeah, Power Rangers. There's just spark sparks going
28:17
off and. I think I'm just going to stand
28:19
here and say fuck you unless I have some movement in which in
28:22
case I probably. Movement.
28:25
I got one more moment. Blink.
28:27
So in reply to watching Frog do this silly back step, Vendel
28:30
mocks them as they do it too. Look at me.
28:35
You sound like. That's right.
28:37
That's what you'd see. Dick, I'm watching a little bit.
28:42
About what is the size of one of these drone clouds?
28:47
Like, would you say they're the size of a softball or baseball?
28:52
No, I'd I'd say, I mean in terms of mass, yes, but in terms of
28:56
cloud about a beach, ball beach. Ball.
28:59
I was thinking of trying to pull up my baseball bat and hit it
29:03
into frog. Yeah, that could work.
29:05
Can you think of a way to trick them into becoming a bit more
29:07
centralized? By centralized you mean like?
29:12
Like dents. Yeah, can you think of a way to
29:15
bring them to make a ball And then if you can make a solid
29:18
ball, you can smack them like a ball?
29:20
Maybe I can so these. Could I place something in it?
29:28
Yeah, to make it go. Yeah.
29:32
What do you want to do that would make them do that?
29:35
What can I have? Maybe some gauze?
29:38
That's amazing. So you're going to, you're going
29:40
to try and like wrap them into mummify the.
29:44
The the drone. Yeah, V sees the drone cloud and
29:48
makes out the line of fire between the drone cloud and
29:52
frog. And in her mind she sees a
29:55
perfect home run and she goes in her bag and pulls out some gauze
30:01
and goes to the drone cloud and starts wrapping it.
30:04
It might be a little difficult at first.
30:06
Like, damn it. And then she takes it and takes
30:11
out her baseball bat and smacks it down the line to frog.
30:17
Yeah, charge. Charge.
30:19
What? Charge it.
30:21
Baseball bat. Plus 17.
30:23
Yes, you smack this drone. You roll me something to wrap
30:28
them up. Yes.
30:31
Oh, no can. Do you have?
30:35
I'm going to use my inspiration from the previous Gisner Ale
30:40
comments and try to reroll this. All right?
30:46
Yeah. All right.
30:48
All right, what am I going to roll?
30:50
Oh, that's a three. That's not enough.
30:52
So as the drone was actually thrown back by this explosion,
30:56
it's still a little dizzy. And you take this opportunity to
31:00
wrap it into a ball and it tries to float a little bit, but you
31:05
do a little throw up and you smack it towards Frog.
31:10
That's a lot of damage. The ball flies across the room,
31:15
hits Frog, who is on fire. It sets the gauze on fire, which
31:20
like a fuse unwraps the drone. The drones blindly as they come
31:24
out of their confinement, try and attack Frog and in in the
31:29
confusion you cause Frog for damage.
31:35
You're not doing great with the whole dodging thing.
31:37
You know, I tried to tell you how it works, but you're just
31:40
not paying. Yeah, you think there's a frog,
31:42
they would actually be able to jump or hop or do some kind of
31:45
dodge? You would think you would find.
31:48
Where did the name Frog come from?
31:50
Yeah, Do you do you have a Do you want a monologue for a bit?
31:54
What's the inspiration? The programmer who originally
31:58
created me. Well, just it was funny.
32:02
Just like. Frog in your throat.
32:04
No. Sounds like it I.
32:07
Was helping them with a fraction program for children.
32:12
That's actually pretty cute. Fraction.
32:16
Revolving, oscillating. Not an anagram.
32:21
I was an animated frog and I'm pissed off about it, Says Frog
32:25
as they grab the drone mid air and crush them into a sparky
32:30
mess and throw them on the ground.
32:33
All right, little hop along, Calm down.
32:37
They say as they take two damage from being on fire.
32:41
On fire as he burns, and he burns to the speed of light.
32:46
And he walks over to one of the lines of of these drones and
32:51
steps on that port that Vendel saw earlier.
32:53
He charges frog charges. Energy comes up from the ground.
32:58
He passes the deep. He does not pass the DB, but he
33:01
can do it twice. So he does it again, rolling at
33:04
15. He gains 6HP as you watch the
33:10
energy course into him. Two of the husks behind him
33:14
burst into a green flame. You can hear him scream as the
33:19
energy is pulled out of their body and they die.
33:25
So he does use them to charge. Yes, I do.
33:30
And they. Are not main.
33:34
Actions, he says as he pulls out his gun, points it at retro and
33:43
pulls the trigger. Oh, Crip.
33:44
Fail. The bullets fly past you, Retro.
33:49
Woogly woogly. Watch out.
33:52
Oh, I think I made somebody hopping mad.
33:56
Well, listen, you know, real helpful figuring out how this
34:02
guy ticks. But did we decide that we wanted
34:07
to to just shoot them directly or try to take out the
34:11
batteries? I mean, both are very viable
34:14
options. Kill him.
34:15
Kill him. Yeah, I figured just going head
34:17
first might be the right way to go here.
34:20
So anyway, thanks. Bye.
34:23
Good luck dodging frog. What do you mean?
34:28
Oh shit. And the bullets come towards.
34:31
Him the first one rolling a 29, he tries to dodge.
34:34
Rolling a 7 + 8 is not enough, and that first one hits him
34:39
hard. Yeah.
34:40
I'd say so. With your first shot, you pull
34:43
him under half health. Finally, and he tears a muscle,
34:47
causing -2 to melee attacks. 17 + 8.
35:03
That's enough. Look at that and he surprisingly
35:06
dodges it as he clutches his torn muscle.
35:10
He takes the two pieces on his leg and he tries to push them
35:13
back together, but he's run out of actions this round.
35:18
Jeb, do you do anything else? No, I'm going to go ahead and
35:21
just reload. Sounds good.
35:24
I take a few steps forward and I I take a a note out of Remy's
35:28
book and I fire from the hip for 22. 22 Now I'm going to say
35:38
there's this beautiful moment where you fire this bullet and
35:41
it flies across the room and it hits him square in the middle of
35:45
the body, right in the middle. Of the.
35:50
Body, but as he looks down he notices that it's just his
35:54
armour that's damaged, but he is still on fire.
35:59
Oh yeah, that's right, I'm on fire.
36:07
That's OK. I was just preparing for my next
36:09
shot which is a 27 and. He does not dodge that the
36:14
bullets hit him, this time actually causing him damage.
36:22
Bulls. It's all in the hips.
36:26
It's all in the hips. I like it.
36:29
I like it a lot. Shooting from the hip, it makes
36:31
makes me feel powerful. Go ahead, Remy.
36:35
Oh shit, it's my turn again. Oops.
36:38
OK, so we saw the frog charge up by sticking something in a port.
36:46
Yeah, that round dot on the ground is a port that they can
36:48
charge from. And they're they're in that
36:51
they're in that port I would like to roll to see if the
36:55
system OK hold on 1st 1st. I'm going to say this just for
36:58
the for the our our our game master.
37:03
I'm about to pull some in real life electrical bullshit on you,
37:06
so I'd like to check to see if the system runs off of a regular
37:11
three phase ABC configuration. This entire pod is its own loop.
37:18
If it disconnected from the building, it would run off its
37:21
own, off the power of this these people, whatever else he's got
37:26
stored inside of this building specifically.
37:30
Right, right. I understand that.
37:31
But what I'm asking is, is that is it's running off of a three
37:33
phase system. This is I'm assuming AC 'cause
37:36
you need a certain amount of power cause DC can't go that
37:39
much. So I'm I'm assuming that it
37:41
would be off of an AC system. Which would you?
37:43
Tell me, man, the electrician. I don't.
37:45
Know well, I've been looking here, you got 4 ports which
37:47
would be A, A phase, B phase, C phase and a neutral.
37:53
And I'm going to run up to Frog, get right up behind them and I'm
38:03
going to take some of that junk that's in my trunk and jam it
38:07
right in between those two ports.
38:08
That's causing a cross phase over.
38:10
Sure, but you have to roll for it.
38:15
OK, so I automatically get Advantage because this is all
38:20
true life bullshit. Correct.
38:26
Who thought my job would actually help out?
38:29
Fantasy who? 31 Yes, you place a piece of
38:35
scrap metal across two of the ports on the ground.
38:38
This long, long piece of metal that you quickly just twist
38:43
together as you run over and throw on the ground because it
38:46
has to be 5 feet long. You throw it on the ground and
38:51
with your 31 in electronic security tech you cause a short
38:57
in the system and the electricity shoots up.
39:00
Frogs back causing 1D6 damage 5 damage.
39:06
Bullshit. Bypassing their armor too.
39:11
And while the electricity courses through them, they kick
39:13
the piece of metal across the room and it slides away to the
39:16
other side. Is that all you do well?
39:18
I'm well, I'm right up against them, so shotgun to the face.
39:23
Shotgun to the face never goes wrong.
39:25
Can't go wrong with shotgun the face. 20 Does he dodge?
39:30
Well? No.
39:31
You rolled A20. The bullet flies towards him and
39:34
you can see he's very low on health right now.
39:38
Like very very low. And he he is twitching with
39:42
electricity and misfiring. Survey.
39:45
You got silence us. Yeah, but I can get you to
39:50
croak. Get him.
39:53
Get him. End this Fendel.
39:55
Fendel is going to do it again, but better stab him with the
40:02
excess sword. Bam.
40:04
Dodger 14, bitch. That's a 10.
40:06
You've got to be fucking kidding me.
40:07
He put Dodgers the first shot. Dodge again.
40:11
Please. Fucking hit.
40:11
Please fucking hit. That's a two.
40:12
Fuck you. Episode goes right through his
40:15
neck and they twist it and you see this black sludge spurt out
40:21
of his neck like you're in some kind of X-rated anime, and he
40:24
starts to. Convulse.
40:28
And he puts his hands on the ground and prices it against the
40:31
port and tries one last time to charge, rolling a crit fail.
40:35
It doesn't work. That's only an 8 and an official
40:40
crit fail. I made my own macro for Frog.
40:42
He does his own thing. That's cool, because that crit
40:46
failed me means he fucking explodes.
40:49
Oh. Shit and his body convulses and
40:52
he falls to the ground. Retro.
40:54
You get thrown back. Roll evasion.
40:59
Vendel also roll evasion. Yeah.
41:02
That's enough. You both dodged the explosion as
41:05
he turns into a pile of scrap on the ground, but you swear you
41:09
can see it breathing as the flesh attached to the mechanics
41:14
pulses back and forth and tries to assimilate more of the
41:18
pieces. I'll put this.
41:20
Out the end of the room you see the big AI core light up a
41:24
little bit and a big progress bar starts.
41:27
Oh. Fuck.
41:30
Wait, what? Downloading.
41:32
Well, what? Downloading.
41:35
What we need to run the CAD system right now?
41:37
Download. Otherwise we're going to be re
41:39
croaked. Why don't we just blow up the AI
41:42
core 'cause then he can't. Back.
41:43
Yeah, actually that's that's a great plan.
41:46
OK, VV VV hit it with your back. All right, with a baseball bat.
41:52
I'll I'll take a shot at it or two.
41:54
All right, you take a shot and then I'll finish it.
41:57
Off bang and then a bop and then a bang and then a bop.
42:00
Yes. All right.
42:02
I'll start with the bang. Bang Bang.
42:07
Bang. Bang.
42:11
And one more. Downloading.
42:17
And now with all the internal damage, it starts to give off a
42:22
bunch of errors. Warning Husk battery failure.
42:25
Warning Data storage A damage detected a warning A possible
42:29
data loss. Warning Download aborted.
42:31

42:39
Connection Loss Sporting Unable to reestablish connection.
42:42
And another spark comes out of Frog on the other side of the
42:46
room, Sporting. What does that mean?
42:48
What does what mean? What does it say?
42:50
Disposal creature error. What I.
42:55
Don't. I don't know.
42:55
I'm. Sorry, someone's gonna have to
42:57
spell this one out for me. I I'm not getting it.
43:00
I mean it's it means it's a trash creature, disposal trash.
43:03
You know, we already, we just took out the trash.
43:06
So I don't know that that's probably nothing to worry about.
43:11
Let's just get the fuck out of here.
43:13
This place is really starting to grind my ears.
43:18
Well, now that we've beaten Frog, I suppose we probably can
43:21
relax a little bit, right? I guess.
43:24
That seems like a trap. Yeah, that that does seem to be
43:28
our downfall, doesn't it? Typically when we're like, oh,
43:30
we beat the boss, we're good, you know, we're fine.
43:33
Just to like, trigger whatever's going to happen, let's do like a
43:36
group high 5. OK.
43:39
You just want do we like you want to countdown or?
43:41
And we can all jump. Jump in the air.
43:43
Yeah, I I like your idea, Jeff. I'm gonna.
43:46
I squirt the latex onto my hand to form a glove.
43:49
Nice all. Right.
43:50
Ready. Ready. 00321.
43:57
Hooray go. And you hear the beasts outside.
44:00
Groan. 2. Yeah, yeah.
44:04
There it is. I want to call it.
44:20
Next time on no latency. Time that we blow this bitch up.
44:30
Or yeah, I've been saying that. Well, we just have to go back
44:33
down to the Abbott lab and get the chip.
44:37
Oh fuck yeah. Wow, that's a good old man of
44:40
Eddies right there. Get the relic chip.
44:42
Sorry, Abbott. Is everybody high?
44:44
And then we go down, we run the Cads, and then we leave.
44:46
Yeah, we're going down, down. Oh, Pirate should pick us up
44:50
down there, yes? Oh, grip it and rip it, my guy.
44:53
Last touch, their nose goes. Not it.
44:55
OK, touch notes. I'm not doing it.
44:58
That seems morally OK. Great.
45:00
So this is where we would run the CAD system.
45:01
