Last time on no latency. More radiation that way.
Did you guys hear that? Knocking.
What? What do you mean?
Who replied to your knock? So that is bad. 9 I take a look
at the door. That's not true.
Oh my God. Never, ever remind him that he
has. That I don't see anything.
I don't see anyone. Leave him alone.
Do not approach or touch. Was that the sound you heard
earlier? Are we locking alone?
Began. I mean, I already locked and
loaded back up from the door. Something not making sense here?
A jab. Nice to meet you.
I'm actually going to go in the room that they.
Left my apologies. What's it doing?
We won't know now because yes, smashed it to bits.
Jeb 9. We shouldn't split the party.
Get from one place to the other without touching the ground.
Oh no. Jeb, careful.
My jet pack. My jet pack.
It's OK, I'll lower the ladder down on the other side or get.
Out. You get over there and we'll
figure. It out so you're.
Just going to wing. It Yeah.
We could just stack a bunch of these little cubes.
No, the cubes are radioactive. Retro.
Yeah, but we got the, we got the P bucket, so.
No, they're even radioactive when you step on them.
The radiation is far too costing.
You keep using that word. I think you know what it means
A. Perfectly comulent word, Jeb.
The cubes themselves are caustic and give off additional
radiation. They seem to be spent waste.
Right, already past their half life.
Got it. OK.
So, Jeb, are you going to, I guess, scoot on over?
I just, I just saw Cheb look up Caustic.
I think he kind of agrees with the use of the word.
I saw like a word. It was a AH that there is no
more definitive. There's not a more narrow
definition. It is just exactly what you
think caustic means, yes. It is exactly yes.
It's really funny watching you look that up.
It's very good. Well, I mean, I, I, I'm, I'm
going to fly through there. I mean, this seems like it's a
perfect opportunity for me to test this thing out.
So I'll just zip back. Didn't we say not to split the
party? Well, yeah, I'll, I'll just zip
on through over the, over the big caustic pool of, of, of
caustic and then I'll and I'll get to the other side and then
I'll figure it out from there. Right.
Does does that sound good to y'all?
I don't make decisions. Neither do I.
This is why I was kind of like, you know, pitching it to the
group. I can't think of a better plan.
TVHI can't honestly think of one either.
Yeah. Well, then I guess Yankee Doodle
Dandy. Let's get this thing going.
I can't move. Oh, wait, wait.
Here we go. Your your GT got Yeah, yeah,
there you go. Phoebe prep the prep the first
Take care. Oh hell yeah dude, that's the
best flying I've ever done. I do.
I do a backflip and a barrel roll and it looks sick.
So what? What do we think the distance of
the jet pack is in terms of every six seconds?
I would say we had said, I'm pretty sure you go back and
listen to the recordings, I'm pretty sure. 10 minutes of
flight. Yeah, 10 minutes of flying.
So yeah, I feel like it's got to be going relatively fast.
No, no, it's 10 minutes of flight.
We did not define speed. Right.
But my point is you said distance and if we can, if we
have time and we have speed, then we have distance math, we
have 10 minutes and I feel like it's got to be pretty quick,
faster than walking obviously. So that's got to be more than
let's see, that's normally D&D rules.
I I guess I don't know for sure if if it has it written out in
the rules how long a round is, but if we take.
The six seconds. OK, so 6 seconds, 30 feet over 6
seconds is like walking speed, 60 feet over 6 seconds is
running speed. So if anything, probably a
little faster than that. So more than like 10 feet per
SEC or? No, Yeah, 10 feet per second.
That's pretty fast. That's pretty fast.
Yeah. All right.
OK. That sounds good to me for a
second. Cool take.
That one minute is 6. Yeah, but.
You're assuming that you did not get interrupted halfway through
this flight. There are some obstacles.
I rolled pilot air vehicle and I
did really good. Yes, we did, Jeff.
I did a barrel roll whenever. I did, but I rolled really good.
I know, but you are flying above a very large pool of caustic
radiation. I can't.
Stop saying and I'm over that one in Boston.
Same word of the day. You fly 60 feet.
You're literally halfway across this pool of green.
Yeah. And as you get to this point,
you know, you're you're flying around, you're doing cool crit
success stuff. And as you spin in the air, I'm
assuming because you're Jeb, I just.
I did say earlier, do a barrel. You see on the ground a robot
between 3 barrels to your N Oh. There's a robot.
We keep on by it. And it fires a dart at you, so
you have to dodge midair. Now I was going to give you a
penalty. Now you don't have that penalty
because you roll the crib 23. Hopefully that was close.
We don't know if it hit. Yeah, Jeb.
Yeah, I wrote so good. Yes, Jeb, you did.
But let's see if I roll good. No.
And this, this dart crackles
with electricity as it whizzes past your head.
Your hat does a little wobble. You don't lose it.
That's that's good. Then you continue your flight to
the other side. Do you land?
I mean, I imagine no, Why would I unless I can save half of
this? I mean, I mean I wouldn't land
unless I know that if I turn off my jet pack, I still got
presumably 9 minutes and 30 seconds left.
Well, the manoeuvre cost a little bit more than that, but
I'd say you've got about 7 minutes left, yeah.
OK, OK. Well then, yeah, land.
You land Jebro perception. Oh God, oh God.
You went T bird. Yes, hey, where's that?
Are you here the clocking of a gun?
Not like not not not this which I see.
No, there's a robot on the ground.
That's a different thing, you hear?
Cock. Like the like, literally the
cocking of like. You hear the distinctive locking
mechanism of a sniper rifle. As you look upon your chest.
You see that there's a red dot on your chest, and then you hear
this bullet go off. And adapt to the side.
Dodge is 16 OK? Oh shit.
I always go to body because it feels like it.
It feels like invasion should be in body but it's not.
It's in fighting. It isn't fighting.
Every time. 19, you dodge. OK, which way do you want to
dodge? You are standing on the ground.
In order to dodge, you have to move.
You go that way. Cool.
All right. Oh, so I'm diving away from the
robot is key. Although do I know?
I mean, I suppose I did just. If you can see it, you can see
it. No, but I just dodged out of the
wave of bullets so I know where that bullet is coming from.
So yeah, somewhere to the north area.
OK, OK. So like around here ish.
More like here ish. Yeah.
Well, maybe here or maybe here, OK.
OK, OK, OK. Did you guys hear that it?
Was a fucking fucking gunshot. I hope you heard it.
You're only 60 feet away, give or take.
Oh shit I didn't turn comms on. Was was jib saying something I
couldn't. I could only hear it like
echoing. I'm going to make a break for
this door here on the on the opposite side of this kind of
main area to try to get into somewhere that because I there's
no nowhere for me to hide unless I can dive behind this rock.
You could. Try, but the bullets were coming
from north of that rock so that might put you in more danger.
Oh shit. Because it looks like it sounds
like that. It looked like that boat was
coming from the north and there's a bit of a pile of
rubble there in the middle. But if I hide behind that, it
looks like there's not enough cover.
I better make a break for that door on the opposite side of the
room. And he does just that.
All right. WWJD look at.
That look at that 50 feet away. Dodger 13, it's not very high.
Oh shit, yay evasion. All right, I'll give you plus
one to opening this locked door. Great.
You hear, you hear the robots that you saw earlier spot you
because you are in the open, and you hear it starts to engage its
shooting mechanism. Roll oh, 12.
It's not enough to open that door.
That means that. And I take out my shotgun and I
blanch all on the door. You still have to dodge this.
No problem. No problem.
Dodger 14. A bad role O31.
Evasion. Beautiful.
Is that 3? Is that 3 crit evasions in a
row? Yes, we've we've already
established this. Jeb now always rolls grits.
He has hacked roll 20 or paid them off.
Yeah, Jeb, Well, not your pick lock because that was a terrible
12, but roll to to to blow the door open, please.
Yeah, no. Problem. 17 Yep, that's enough.
The door lock bursts open. It's high enough that you just
managed to get that done, but now the door will not lock.
It will close, but it will not lock.
Breaching clear and and I shoulder myself into the, you
know, through the doorway and into the whatever this room is
here this small. Cool.
There, But hold on, I'm on it. I'm just realizing is there a
little Moat? Is there a Moat over a a river
of caustic? Yes, Oh my God.
Well, I I bust, I shoulder my way in, bust out the door, you
know, donkey, kick it behind me to close it and take a look
around. This this this building.
So Vivi, I wanna watch anything on the tube lately.
Jeb's gone. Jeb's gone, yeah.
He's been. No, I mean like I do you see
him? No.
Yeah, well they, they flew off well past the cost costy zone
and they they're out of sight. I mean I've I think I've heard
like 2 gunshots so far but he hasn't radioed in yet so he must
be fine. He was still talking, so that's
a good sign. You guys, I know you can't
exactly come over here without stepping through the caustic,
but I'm going to need some help. Well, I could try to help him.
I have my hoverboard. Like please be so very careful.
Yes, please. Yes, please.
Hoverboard, please. There's someone with a snap over
here. Just be careful when we get to
the other side, just be landing for that little building.
That's where I am. OK, well, he he's way out there
all right. I'm good.
I'm going to try my best and. That's all we're going to ask of
you. So thank you.
We, we, I appreciate you. You rolled.
What was it? This is technically a land
vehicle. Drive land vehicle.
This is technically a land vehicle.
It is not a flight vehicle. Tell me about the hoverboard.
Do you push? Does it have propulsion?
I don't think it has propulsion. You push, right?
That's a good question, It's been a while since I've used
this bad boy. The Jetboy is a land vehicle
with 10 SDPHP. Only one set that hovers, only
one seat that hovers just above the ground.
It can always be driven with no hands, as if the user had
connected interface plugs. You make maneuvers on the jet
boy using athletic skill. Basic movement does not require
a minimum skill base. It provides 15 move and combat
has a narrative speed of 30 mph. Holy shit.
There you go. Cool.
So you can go 15. It's got, it's got like rules
and stuff. It's like they did, they did
stuff. That's great.
Yeah. So you can move 15. 30 mph,
That's pretty. I guess you can.
What? Is that you can.
You can move really far. No, no, but it it also has
defined it in the rules. Jeff Oh, we.
Just saw that. Which is 15 squares per round,
yeah. OK.
So essentially 1/4 speed of the jetpack, coincidentally.
Checks out. Yeah.
Now, as you get to this point, you there's a little sort of
rock in the way and some girders above you and you're just at the
point where you can see the robot between these three
barrels on the ground. Yes, I mean, wait a minute.
Oh, Jeb, please deduct got that radiation.
You went outside the bubble I. Did I did.
Oh. Shit, yeah.
Oh, that's yeah. OK, fair enough.
Jeb, your outfit, the suit that you're wearing, do you have the
card? No.
OK, so to remind everybody, you have -1 to move, you have -1
protection perception while wearing one, and you have -4 to
wardrobe in style while you're wearing it.
The suit seems to have 25 health.
And Jeb, your suit has lost eight HP by being outside.
PS Suit it starts at 25 set. Yes, starts 25 -, 8 so rolled
high. Sorry.
OK, Phoebe, yes. Yes.
You're hovering above a large radiation source while being
exposed to said radiation. Yes.
You. Hear it Attack the suit and I
rolled A4. So for this round you you feel
it start to be eaten away. Now you you are at a point of
return. You could choose to go back to
the bubble and rethink this, or continue on.
Rethink your your your thoughts and decisions.
I'm not. I'm not.
You're you're going for Jeb, but also you are outside the bubble.
This. Lonely and the caustic sign this
is. Extremely dangerous, but.
Sure as hell is. Jeff needs help, so I'm going to
keep going. All right, I'm a hero.
You got this, baby. So I would just go another 15
just at the cusp of this. Large gutter above you, Yeah.
Yes, I. Can hear the Bonnie Tyler just
starting up. You can roll athletics as well
to drive this Route 16. Yes, that is enough.
You'll make your way to a pretty stable location.
You've still got like the wall to kick off, it's just within
reach. You can use your bat to push
yourself if you wanted a little extra boost, or you can just use
the actual propulsion of the thing.
But you are in range of the junk robot which has spotted you.
Oh geez, it aims at your hoverboard.
God 16. Your hoverboard is hit for six
damage. The problem is is that this is
an EMP dart, so half of it shuts down and starts to scrape across
the ground. Oh.
No, the caustic. You're going to have to surf
Vivi, OH. Surf across this shit.

Your journey begins here at Maggie RPG.
There's a rock, there's a close to the robot you could take
refuge on. Hang 10 bro.
Over here. Yeah.
I'm going to go to the rock. Good luck.
You are closer to the robot. Do you want to try and attack
it? Yeah.
I'm going to try to, I'm going to try to shoot it all right,
unless I'm close enough for my baseball bat, which I don't
think if can I. It's a very difficult shot
because it's actually between the barrels.
I would like to try to move a little closer and smash it with
my bat. You can jump on the rock.
Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
OK. All right, let's try.
Your baseball bat with a crit fail gets stuck in one of these
barrels and it cracks open, causing a fluid to cascade
across the ground. You hear it sizzle.
Your suit takes 5 damage. The robot moves and attacks you
poisonally. Poisonally.
Guys are not looking good. It also crit fails stepping into
the fluid. I rolled A crit fail.
You're lucky BB, as one of its armor plates melts into a
slightly gelatinous substance and starts to sizzle.
This stuff is acidic. Oh shit, it's the dip.
I try. I try.
To hit again. Hey, you smack it for crit
damage? Hell yeah, causing, oh, that's
so much damage. Jesus.
It goes under half health, it loses the ability to move
because you've broken three of its legs and it's now
struggling, but it is turning to try and hit you.
With that success, you can try and hit it once more, yes.
Let's try again. OK, 17 yes that is also enough.
It gets hit for 10 damage. It is struggling to stay alive
but still has a little bit of movement.
It's pretty close to you. It tries to bite your foot.
Dodger 16. Oh.
Boy OK it. It feels like this thing is
sinking into the caustic like. Yeah, it's trying to bite like.
You know. Yeah, it wouldn't be good if you
were bitten because the fluid's there.
It might break the seal of the suit.
Evasion 18. That is enough.
It misses entirely. And you're lucky because it
would have been a critical injury.
It has very little health left. What you going to do, Phoebe?
11 last slam with the bat home run.
I want to try to knock it into the wall.
Hell yeah 12 It can't evade now because it doesn't have legs and
mostly it has melted. You smack it against the wall
and it bursts into pieces. Roll evasion to A to avoid
splashes. Oh, shut.
Let's see. Evasion 14.
Yes, that is enough. You are on a rock.
You are stable. You're also mildly trapped.
The radiation around you starts to sizzle on your suit after the
silence that follows the battle. You can hear it.
Oh, that's only A1 and you lose 1 to your suit.
OK. Phoebe, are you OK?
I'm. I'm holding.
I'm holding on. I I took care of this robot that
was shooting at Jeb. It's gone.
But your shoot's all right, right?
It's it's it's it's. It's barely hanging on, just
like my hoverboard. I'm in trouble, but I'm going to
try to keep going. Phoebe, do you need help?
Perhaps it's time for us to help everyone, which is sort of
standing here in this safely bubble.
I didn't realize we were going to tap this one by one.
Well, what's your idea to get across?
From now split up the party or against Stalin pairs the body
system I think you said and then Jeb went off on his own is.
This. Normal.
I remember Sano complaining about this but Jeb would do this
all the time. Sorry, I'm over talking.
No, it's OK. You know, in in this time of,
of, of being, you know, stuck in in a little warehouse looking
thing and a snapper outside and, and my my savior.
Thank you, baby. Possibly Diane, a little bit of,
of friendly banter. It's kind of nice, kind of gets
your mind out of it. I mean, if, if, if you're
willing to take a chance, Phoebe, you can always give the
board a little, a little funds and maybe that'll, you know,
kick a circuit back up. I I smack the board.
All right, what's your luck right now, Tracy?
I I. Have a decent amount of luck 6.
OK, if you can roll under your luck on AD 10 it boots back up.
Deal. I can roll under my luck.
All right, I'll take that deal. Poop.
That is, that is not. That's an 8.
That's a good role, well done, but also too much and your
hoverboard remains inert. I'm.
Going to die out here guy. I'm stranded.
Oh, OK. I'll roll the number one your
your suit sizzles a little bit more and you lose a bit more of
excess P. You know, he Yanks the, the the
I imagine for whatever reason, I just now thought that you start
the the jet pack like a lawn mower.
Yes. You absolutely do.
And he jets passed out the door through, you know, past a pillar
of past the the robot that was waiting and hiding and and
rushes past. Dodger 12.
Was that? Dodger 12 As you fly across,
there's another sniper bullet of Asian 22.
Yes, you managed to do that. Do you have you rolled to fly
your jet pack? No, not yet.
Let's see if that goes well. Yes, that goes well.
To get there in time at the speed you are doing, you are
going to burn 4 minutes of fuel. Well the VV needs it and so I go
and I and I grab her and her hoverboard and fucking turn and
burn are. You going to go back to the
building? Yeah.
OK cool, so you pick up VVVV. If you want to try and help this
situation, you can roll to help. What would you like to throw in?
Hold on tight, I'll. Roll in athletics to.
Hell yeah. Roll 2.
Hold on tight. Yeah, that's.
Twelve. Yeah, that gives Jeb a + 1 to
this return. Pilot air vehicle.
Uh huh, 23 yes, that is enough. And of course, Jeb, see if you
can dodge this. I'll be honest, just got kind of
a shit shot so don't even worry about it baby.
I think we got this one. Yeah.
Oh. My God, what?
I tell you. You managed to fly into the
doorway with Vivi. Imagine.
Like a superhero landing. Imagine like the classic 1950s
pulp sci-fi book cover with a man dressed as a cowboy with a,
with a nice cowboy hat and two Colt 40 fives on either hip
wearing a jet pack and and a if this were a 1950s pulp sci-fi
novel cover, it would have a scantily clad woman.
But imagine she's regularly clad and her name is Bebe.
And they're slowly getting lower.
If they're slowly lowering to the ground Superman style or one
one foot is like, you know, pointed down is everyone's kind
of like bent slightly backwards and like just ever so slightly,
ever so calmly lowers down softly onto the ground.
And then like he, he presses a little kill switch on his on
his. In, but I'm assuming with your
crit that you're going inside the building so that you do not.
Get shot. Yeah, absolutely.
Inside the building the only the only difference being the spies.
Yes, indeed, I. Mean that was pretty cool.
Some real like Rocketeer vibes there.
No, it it was a very amazing rescue mission, but now the
issue is how do the rest of us get across?
Well, I was looking here at the map before they took off and I
think there's supposed to be a maybe event or a doorway to like
North East from where we're at. So do we want to try to check
that out? Yeah, we don't have any more
flying apparatuses, so what's the harm in checking a door?
We do have all of this climbing gear, ropes, etcetera.
Do we see holes in the ceiling? There's lots of crags and things
you could attach to you at the very mouth of this green glowing
lake in front of you. There's one of those plates on
the ground. They're heavy, but you could use
it as a counterweight or they're movable.
Excuse me, That's all the caustic.
I get it. Caustic, I would like to ask 99
yes. Would you be a pal always?
Theme Scorch scorch scorch screen.
Can you go check out the I they dislike how I actually somewhat
kind of like that this vent to our northeast and see if maybe
that comes out somewhere on the other side come.
Come, go look. Where's the vent?
Where it was over here. While they're doing that, I'd
like to test something. Sure.
Can I push this Arasaka metal that we've been talking about
onto the caustic material and see if it reacts?
Sure. Here we should all stay together
in the bubble, so I'm bringing the P bucket to you.
Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
I wasn't thinking of that. P bucket roll a very basic
physical check to push it so that you don't fall over.
OK. 80 athletics. You push it effortlessly and it
doesn't make a very loud sizzle. It doesn't make a very loud
sizzle. It's very, it's almost non
reactive. Non reactive, not very.
Do you want to test the metal? Do you want to see if you can
work out what it is? Test.
It's metal, if you know what I mean.
Oh, absolutely I would. Sure.
Roll something sciency. You learn nothing because you
rolled A crit fail. Look, I, I didn't take chemistry
in I didn't take chemistry in college, all right?
Everyone said that was a dump class and like I took it but
like I didn't really go. I, I, I actually have a really
good education, so as I own it. Do you want us to check I?
Mean yeah, sure. I I don't know how this chemical
compound works. Unfortunately, because of that
crit fail, you did mildly step out of the bubble while doing
this and your suit takes a little damage. 3 Let's do not
fun. What?
The feet are getting more gummy. Well, I suppose I would.
I suppose I might know more about it.
Let me. It is corporate.
It is corporate metal. It's corporate metal unless
you've got a stamp on it. Look at me excuse.
Me corporate metal coins. Money.
I know everything about this piece of metal.
Corporate metal is the name of my rocker band.
You know everything about this piece of metal you do.
Hold on. Listen to somebody please put
down like some kind of corporate metal band in the comments
somewhere below. Yes.
Corporate Rock, OH. My friend some.
Have to. Get those events.
Oh, do you know what what this is?
No, no. It's it's lead.
Oh. Is that good?
It's convenient for our purposes now.
Yep, that helps. And it has its own issues too.
But yeah, nobody lick it. Nope, just pretend you're
getting an X-ray and put it on like a blanket.
It's. Very heavy.
We're not going to be able to wear the metal like a blanket.
We might be able to hop, hop, frog, leapscotch across with the
pieces if we drag them all this way.
We would have to use conveyor belt method to get them across,
but we could do it. Kind of lift, lift it up, lay it
down, jump on it and then then like kind of move it algebra and
then and then kind of just constantly moving it.
Well, there's several of these around the area.
I mean, we've, we've passed several.
We might be able to find a collection and make a path all
the way across. Next time on no latency.
Can you balance it on your head and?
Roll back. Don't know.
What? All right, everyone stick
together. Fair.
This looks bad. You really got.
Go, go. Now.
Now door. Door.
Really got shot an. Extreme sizzle.
Domino, you use your Talon clause to help.
Oh, if we're attached to a a rope, perhaps.
Traverse across the rocky walls and help pull them.
Along it could be anything. No, no.
We know there's a sniper over here.
Fly through the air and then launch it again to try to get
over. That's rough, bud.
It's. A big it's a big bullet.
What a champ, this guy, am I right?
To recover the bullet. OK, first we have to stop this
bleeding. Oh.
I had Vendale Row brawling to kick the door and.
Everyone's here and you brought the pee bucket.
Oh, thank God. Take.
Cover. That seems unreasonable, GM.
Yeah, it's crazy. Boy shield to protect myself.
A domino. Oh man, so that was pretty
crazy, huh? Got to look out for those things
everywhere you go apparently. Yeah, but we only have one of
those values, dude. We just have time.
But I was just getting into how fast it was going to be.
Oh, I see all right. We should just name this episode
Caustic, Caustic, Caustic. I agreed.
Noted. Write it down, Paris.
That's a good point. I don't know that to myself.
No, no. That was fun.
Anyway. Well, that's I, I, I hope that
Jeb has enough tactical brain to think, if I dive behind this, am
I going to be safe from the thing shooting me?
Right. So are you going to go for the
door or these rocks that are about waist high?
So Jeb does not have enough brain to know if he would be
safe diving behind these rocks. I am inferring to you that they
are not as much cover as the inside of a building.
OK, OK, great. That's that is what Jeb would
factor in his mind in the well. Then let's get Jeb's in a
monologue. OK.
