Last time on no latency side quests.
You can't exactly control whether or not the precipitation
is gonna be coming down for the wins and wears.
Apparently it's my job now. Let's take out the What was his
name? Doctor Forecast.
Use your best judgement. Fantastic.
I have none of that. We'll do.
That's where our guy is. They're doing the parade route.
Is US doing what we're doing now against the rules?
We're going to be stealing stuff.
You got this. Take your dreams and do it.
Put the gun down and we'll talk. I don't know if you completely
hurt. Heard what?
She said. You either listen to the boss or
I will stuff your stockings. Can't damage the merchandise.
I'm not. I don't really mean it.
Oopsie Daisy. You want to test me?
Still nasty. I'm borrowing one of the
vehicles. It's official business.
Dave is being antisocial. I'm your boss.
The boss. I know what the absolute fuck.
What the absolute fuck. What happened to the the trunk?
Where's all the junk? I mean, yes, but there's the
plating, The plate. Where's the plating?
Can't you just I pull a piece off of 1, slap it on the other
and say hey. They're all missing.
You don't got to use the same
section like I just look if I find.
It ain't going to it ain't going to fit if it doesn't this is all
like custom like hammer out made.
I no, my skills are pretty good. I can't do it the guy in.
The room, Isn't that what? He does.
You should piece of big enough. I got duct tape.
I got handcuffs. I got rope.
You. Got handcuffs too?
Oh, I have handcuffs too. Oh my gosh.
Handcuffs. All have handcuffs.
I know. This.
Party I have. Been to a handcuffs?
Handcuffs. We have to get all half
handcuffs out. I don't really need handcuffs.
No. You never know.
A coat? No.
Well, a coworker of mine has taught me some pretty good rope
tying techniques. Oh, Shibari.
Steve too. Oh, Shibari.
Yeah, see, that's why we're Best friends High 5.
Oh, shit. You know Steve, huh?
Oh, Shibari, Steve's a good fellow.
I feel like I need to get on this.
Who is Shibari's? No.
Well, I made him like every other.
Tuesday. Well, I mean my Co worker knows
Shibari Steve and they learn through them.
Yeah, no, I got another. I have.
I have another Co worker. I was about to say friend I made
Co worker that, you know they they're they're very good at it
and I'm kind of like watching when they do it.
It's a little unsettling, but like, I've got some skills now
maybe. Says Retro as he pulls out 50
foot of hemp and rope from his big backpack.
Oh, like to watch Now I get it. Use the chairs in the corner in
the hotel room. I respect that attitude.
Yeah, we don't shame anybody's keys.
That's beautiful right there. This conversation continues as
you step back into the Mech Bay where MEC Mike is working on the
vehicle. Hey Kate.
Hey, what's your name? Mike.
Mike the the back part the the the shielding is missing.
What? What?
From what?
The back. The boot of.
The other ones We can't fly without it.
All the new plating. Yeah.
OK, let me have a look. Please just fix it.
Stares at the door Where the. Fuck did it go?
That's what I'm asking you. So I don't know where the plates
are, but also I don't have the wrench because like it's like
really important, like experimental tank and there's
this like wrench thing. I don't have the wrench.
You need to fix it in 5 minutes. You're the mechanic.
You need to fix it in five. Minutes.
I'm not. No, I'm the junior and you have
to watch my boss, Doug. Where where is Doug the
doughnut? Doug's in the sauna.
All right, I'm going to go over to Sauna.
Where's? He was nice.
Don't be mean. Like is the sauna right here?
So the sauna is to the north of the room and you, you open this
door and steam pours out from inside.
It's warm in there. There is a sauna.
Here again, my fucking tax eddies.
What the fuck, Doug? Role perception is you step
inside 19 Well, anybody who steps inside the sauna must
roll. Resist torture drugs because
it's really warm in here, so do that as well with your
perception 19. As you step inside, though, you
notice that Doug, who's just wearing a towel around his
waist, sweating profusely, and counting a bunch of Eddie bills.
Both of you, Why did you roll land?
Vehicles. I didn't mean to.
It's just what happened where my clicky pointer was this gigantic
drop down. Keep a bunch.
So you know what? That's fine.
It still beats the DV. And so did you resist torture.
So you step in the room and you you feel beads of sweat roll
down your cheek and suddenly you remember.
Just the heat reminds you of this motorbike race you were in
once with your. Old friend, this strong this
sauna straightened to the. Sun.
I'm an. Astronaut your your old friend
Varro, who's just some tune. You know you used to race in the
desert with him and you're distracted by this, but Retro
sees Doug see him and shove the wad of money underneath his bum.
What are What's going on? OK, First off, gross.
Second of all, where the fuck is the plating on the back of the
of the back of the vehicles? Third, where's this fucking
mystical wrench? I don't.
Know what you're talking about? I pull my shotgun and put it
directly in his crotch. Roll the face down.
I produce my heavy handgun to assist and just point it right
the fuck at him. Right.
You get plus one to this face down because there are two guns
faced at this guy 10. Plus 6 + 6 plus. 10 You've
rolled a fucking ten, Yeah. Oh.
God. Oh fuck.
It's just enough of money. OK where's Where's the back of
the vehicles in the And I'm going to press so hard you can
hear something Pop I. Stole.
I stole them to sell. I wanted to make some money
because you know, working here is such hard work.
So they're gone. They're nowhere here at all.
Well, no, we we already got them a few hours ago.
I took the wrench that only I have and I took the plates of
the back. Who's going to notice in the
back during the core of the parade?
I could sell those mine like Dick, so they're going to come
pick them up in about 20 minutes.
Where are the plates? Well, the maelstrom was going to
pick them up. They're gone.
Oh, where are the fucking plates at this second in time?
They're in the locker and I've got the wrench give.
Me the wrench. OK, you rolled them correct.
So I have to give it to you because that's how this works.
How's it? Going in.
There the forecast High pitched human.
Yeah, now tell me where the locker is or the high pitched
human is is is gonna say hi? No, don't.
I'm sorry. It's the the, the it's like
parallel to this. One of the ones on the, on the,
on the, on the on the east side. OK, great.
I'm gonna take that ask cash and and.
Put it Do we turn left or right? We walk out this door.
Please don't tell my boss that I was trying to steal.
Do we turn left to right? Walk out this door?
I don't need to hear no. E fucking Magellan.
Give me simple. Just.
Directly South of the sauna guy, we've gone.
OK fine. I want you to to count how many
times you can say butter in my biscuits.
Really. Follow my butter.
There's 10. Keep keep Going.
Keep going, right? Butter my my heart rate's going
up. Hold on one second.
Oh no. I rolled A5.
I'm fine. As as we back out, I close the
door right and then I break the handle and on.
Did you lock that guy in a sauna?
I think he's. Going to die.
Wait, wait wait wait. I think that's what we call my
brand. He doesn't check the door
because he thinks he's Scott free, so he's not going to check
the door for a little bit. It's, you know, it's just, it's
just another porta potty if it was in the summer, so.
You snap the console off the backside of the door and it
fizzles and locks shut. The only people who understand
what's going on are Cipher, Remington and Retro.
Oh, I stayed in the airlock area because I was like, man, I don't
want to see a naked man. Right, and you didn't see a
naked man, but you do watch Retro break the sauna door.
We got, we don't have time for this.
We got to go. Retro's holding a wrench.
Do you know how to use that? Yeah, it's like.
It's a four J7 wrench for a special socket.
Yeah, yeah. Maybe we should let Magic Mike
here work the wrench. Wait.
Can we fix it? I don't.
I'm. I'm neck Mike.
So. OK.
Mike just learned your tone. Back the fuck up and a lot of
tech actually get in US, OK, someone find me them plates.
Where are the plates? They're in a locker.
Fucking Magellan back there, said the.
East of here. South S s.
I'm going to. I'm going to start looking for
lockers and just start gripping them to.
Walk around this place some bullshit.
So prompt you head South from the sauna and there are 8
lockers here on either side of you, in the side of this room.
Role perception, I would. Like to assist?
Yeah, so you're both now checking all of the lockers in
this corner, 13? 15-O plus two.
Oh, cipher rolls higher. Definitely rolling a 15 + 2 and
finds them before you do. They open up the locker and
because you rolled so high on perception, you managed to step
out of the way as three large plates fall to the ground right
next to you after this locker. Oh, oh, that.
Was good. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that.
Oh yeah, that that just could have been really, really bad.
But hey, here we go. Oh, let's take one of them.
Let's see if we can take one of the other ones and bring it with
us. We might need it.
Oh yeah, good point. I'm going to try and drag the
plate scraping along towards one of the vehicles.
As you grab the plate, you remember that this material is
incredibly light since it's made out of nano fiber and sequence
graphene. So unlike the graphene first
discovered, this is 3 dimensional, so it holds its
shape really, really well. And that's what makes it
corrosively resistant. Not some kind of coating, but
the physical material itself. It's fairly light, only weighs
about 15 lbs, but it's fairly unmalleable in terms of it has
almost no flexibility. It is.
It is cast like resin. I'm going to grab one.
Do you want to grab the other one Safer?
Yeah, let's grab just two and then we'll head back to the
vehicles. You all grab these, Remington.
I imagine you also help a little bit because they're a little bit
awkward. With pleasure drag.
Them into the flight deck area where vehicles can launch.
At this point the rain has started to fall into the hole in
the ceiling where you will exit the vehicle, and it looks like
the only way out of this building is under the protection
of one of these flight vehicles. OK.
Mike, do your thing, fix it retro.
Can you help or supervise? I don't know.
I don't have this is not my specialty.
I wasn't trained on how to use the wrench, and you can't.
That's your muted guide. There's a mute on your face.
Can you hit the? Mike, shut the fuck up.
OK, so do you need? OK, you seem like way better at
this than me. Mike, go back to vocational
school. I that's that's why I'm here.
I'm an intern. You know, they don't pay me
anything. Fuck it.
Wait, you're an intern, not an apprentice?
No, no, I can't be an apprentice because then they'd have to pay
me because of that law. So I'm an intern.
Oh, it's good that you locked that guy in there.
What? What?
Oh. Nothing.
If I paid my tax at ease, I would be really, really upset.
Magic Mike, if I give you a little bit of payment, can you
all of a sudden upgrade yourself and what prestigiousness you
have in your position and make this happen proper?
I mean, I've never used the wrench.
It's like on a special socket. Yeah, you use it just like that,
like that guy is doing over there with the TV head.
And you, while you're trying to convince Mike to do this, you're
watching Retro just go, oh fuck, and just doing himself.
And he's attaching the plates to the back of the NCPD vehicle
that's labeled #3 DO. You unlike the keys, yes.
Yes. Please.
OK. And he pulls the keys out of his
pocket and he hands them to you. There you go, Mr. Cowboy Guy.
Yeah. Any advice you can give us on
exactly how to operate Sid vehicle?
Any of y'all familiar with with these?
It's not quite what I'm quite so used.
To I'm a driver, so no. Roll Persuasion.
I'd be quite happy to do that now, Magic Mike.
He wouldn't lie to me. Would you?
No. Oh man, you roll really high on
persuasion. That is why they call me the
shit kicker of swavity I know my life with.
People Oh, Jay over there in the corner.
He sometimes takes the vehicles out, but he's not very good with
flying. So he's got a chip.
I didn't say that to you. So it's like a skill chip that
makes better. Chip Oh.
Oh really? Well, we should, we should go
relieve him of that so that we can be more skilled because I.
Didn't tell you I'm just an intern, my guy.
I don't know. Mike Yes, seem like a good guy.
I do my best. Go join a union.
Drop this shit. Stop working for the man work.
For yourself Get get fucking paid.
Don't do no this intern shit. No.
You know, you rolled over 20. I'm just going to listen to you.
That sounds good. You know what?
Fuck this shit. Doug's a Dick anyway.
And he wants out. Free labor stolen.
Fuck the man, Mike. Yeah.
Oh no, wait. I made them all do my work.
Fuck. Oh shit.
That's. Why?
I said fuck the man, fuck the system, OK, example.
Maybe. You should probably get that
chip from him. How?
You're the boss. Tell him to give me the chip.
Or else. Your stuff is stocking.
I mean, you heard them. I We need the chip.
Roll something, anything you like, as long as it's, you know,
persuasion, bureaucracy. Yeah, I will use bureaucracy.
Bureaucracy. They use their power.
Of broccoli. Holy shit, that's a really good
dude. Damn, that's 22 and he goes.
Let's go. Thank you.
I'm going to take. So I guess.
Whatever chipping in. Does anybody want to be?
Chipping in. Get it?
Like a song? Leave.
Just leave. Yeah, you should walk out.
Go to the break room and have a nap.
Oh my God, they're dead bodies. No, you should walk out the
front. No way.
Without an umbrella, he's gonna see if it still ran.
You're now talking to the back of some old guy's head as he
leaves the room. So, Reggie, this is amazing.
Thank you. I appreciate that you know what,
but this is this is really, really strange.
I'm getting positive feedback from my work.
It feels a little icky. I'm.
Not you did a terrible. Job.
Oh, OK. Is that better?
Yes. OK.
You can do better. You can do so much better.
Oh, OK. OK.
That that's enough. You're you're you're you're
giving Iona vibes now and I'm I'm good.
I'm cool on that. OK, cool.
You.
Know. Safari Steve has some associates
who could really just like, tell people don't get in that aspect
of your life right there. You say as you climb into the
flight vehicle, 100%. Are you talking about Matt?
Yeah. Oh yeah, Meany Matt.
He's sort of fantastic. He'll totally berate you,
however. Like.
Hard. You need him to do so he'll
he'll totally go for it. Go in like you're a piece of
shit. You don't deserve anything.
You don't. And then you're like, OK, that
sounds. Horrible.
We don't. We don't.
We don't kink shit. Who's got who's?
Who's got a chip slot? Am I the only one who has a chip
slot? Hold please.
I might. I don't know though.
Maybe. How do I find?
Out. It'd be a new cyberwear.
Gotcha. OK.
No, I don't so. Is a chip slot the same thing as
an option slot? No.
Then I do not fucking have one. OK, Retcha's gonna go ahead and
click the side of his head. He's gonna take out his dance
chip. Sullenly put it in their pocket,
take the flying chip, Gently jam it in.
You OK? You gain a temporary +2 to fly
Air vehicle. That's not going to be much
better. Probably better than ours.
Yeah, I have a six. 5I. Don't know, I think it might
help you. Wait, you add +2 though?
That's 11. Yeah, that's still enough.
So with an 11 you manage to get the vehicle off the ground and
as you're sitting there, there are two flight controls for this
vehicle. So you can have a Co pilot if.
You want I'll step in on that Co pilot spot.
Considering my reflex score enough gives me a decent pilot
air vehicle. And by decent I mean equivalent
to what our pilot has with their +2.
We're in together. You, me brothers, ride the shop
now for you. Your favorite multiverse hopping
game. System jumping high, production
value Actual Play Podcast is back.
System Switch Season 2 is out right now.
In your universe, Bowler and Hicks have been transported into
the science fiction world of scum and villainy.
Follow our heroes as they try to break out of prison.
This is clearly a cell. I've seen a cell before.
In any universe, this is a cell. Fly through asteroid belts,
break into high security government buildings.
Excuse me, I'm from the library, Police and punch fascists.
That's always very cool. Catch up on all of season one
now, or jump straight into season 2 every Thursday.
Wherever you get your podcasts. The multiverse is a strange
place. You are ascending into the
clouds cipher. You're helping navigate towards
it with the information you managed to gather earlier.
OK, yeah. So which way next?
Yeah, yeah. So, OK, you got to turn left and
then. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah. You go down a few blocks and
then sharp, right. It should be like, yeah, like
500 meters. OK, well I I'm I have like pins
and needles right now as I'm flying this this is like really
weird. You got this.
I believe in you.
I'm. Going to pull out my I'm going
to pull out my lucky Sunday joint to make me feel better,
which is 10 times bigger than my other joints and like that
bitch. Roll to approach this storm.
OK, both people piloting the vehicle.
Please Retro, in your nervousness.
You are reinvigorated by this. A group of people, you've had a
lot of success this night. The parade is meant to be in
about an hour, and you've got this feeling that if you can
sort this out, you're probably going to do all right.
Can I ask a favour since I got a crit on this?
Yes. Can we just make it like a Mr.
Bean, just completely accidentally do it?
Absolutely. So you head towards this storm
and as you get towards the thicker shadow that sits in the
middle of this storm, you get caught by a side wind and you
manage to fly sideways around this thing in a circle, causing
everyone to get pushed to the left hand side of the door.
Oh, that was nearly a glitter spray.
Oh. No.
So you've now made your way around this and it's given you
the opportunity. With your crit on pilot air
vehicle, you've seen that there are three entrances to this
airship. There's two near the engines,
which seem like maybe a safer bet, and one near the cockpit
which is very likely guarded by guards and bad dudes.
Well, I mean, I just, I mean, if we're Mr. Beating this fucker,
let's just go directly into that cockpit.
I've lost control and we aim for that cockpit.
Don't disagree. You bump your way up to the side
of the building. The flight vehicle recognizes
the ports on the other side and somehow it just lets you in
because of. Spiritos Santos.
Santos You. Managed it, I don't.
Know how? That's amazing.
Suddenly there was something. So I need to check some emails.
It was weird. It was like something inside my
head was like an old timey fighter pilot from those World
War days that was telling me to do a barrel roll.
Talks me goose. You all right.
I feel like. Ice, Yeah.
As you step into the airship, you step into this corridor.
It's very brightly lit and this room is cold.
It's very, very cold inside of this vehicle.
But you enter through the front and that door has a sensor on it
and you hear over the speaker. You're trying to break into my
amazing airship. And you too, some wash Give up
your needs, Give up your consumerism.
Just give up. Otherwise you will be crossed
under my weathering power. Pay doc with.
What? You feed?
No, I'll. I'll happily wipe my boots.
But I need to point out something to you.
We did not try to break in to your dirigible of Dipshitury.
We have succeeded. Bestie.
Yeah, I actually think that was like either a a prerecorded
message or like over PA system. So unfortunately, I don't think
that he can hear you. He didn't hear me say George.
George Full of dipshitary. No, but that was very.
No, but I really I that was that was like poetry.
Fuck, it was a good line. I'll have to save it.
I'm going to wipe my feet. It was, really.
Everyone rolled Perception. Oh wow.
Everyone rolled freely. Well, everyone rolled 15 or
higher. Excellent prompt.
Rolled a crit. And So what you hear is two
people from the door to the east of you where the actual cockpit
is. This is just the access
corridor. You hear two people on the other
side of that door. Now you can either very quickly
hide or you can get ready to kill.
Kill them. OK, awesome.
All right, there's two people we got to get ready.
I don't know what we're going to do.
New plan, New plan. Fuck yeah.
I'm getting closer to that door and I'm going to get a good bead
on it when they come through. I'm just going to shoot the fuck
out of them. Cool.
I do not move. I'm going to wipe my feet
though. Is it time for glitter?
Hell yeah. Now the pink Hello cutie assault
rifle comes out. So pistol.
Getting ready. An SMG?
No, no salt. Reference No.
I have. I have a I have two guns.
Oh, you oh, you have two. Oh shit.
Alright, fuck. There was one that was strapped
to her her the entire time, like.
No, that's fine. I just wanted to make sure we
were talking about the same gun. Dope.
Yes. No, I'm down.
No, it's it's a specially like issued 1.
Nice. I like that the door is not
locked Remington. So you can either wait for them
to open it or you can open. Oh, fuck yes.
Well, in that case, they're just right on the other side of that
door. Great.
Somewhere in there, yeah. Then I'm going to go over that
door, I'm going to boot that motherfucker open, and I'm just
going to go Full Auto fire with the assault rifle.
All right, we're all for it. Boot.
Don't forget to deduct 10 ammo for.
Doing that, don't worry, I will. 16 Roll to kick the door open.
Alright, Athletics. Yeah.
Alright, pretty good that. You kick the door open and it's
cool as fuck. There's a dude in a full pilot
outfit and just a regular maelstrom guy standing there.
Ohh fuck. And then you pull the trigger
with your auto fire and these bullets hail around them because
you only roll the 16. You miss entirely wasting 10
bullets but pushing them back with the surprise of kicking the
door open and you're just standing there.
Yeah, I'm fully aware. Isn't his bestie, like, right
there? Hello Hasta La Vista, stupid.
And she's just going to, like, totally fire.
That's what we're going to do. 18 You know, you know what's
great about an 18? Because it's higher than 17 and
so the pilot gets hit. You only do times one damage
because it's only one above what you needed, which was a 17.
But he takes nine damage to the body and it pushes him back and
he's now panicking. He didn't have very good armor
on the flight suits, really, really thin.
It only had like a an AP of two. So he's he's he's not doing
great already. He's upset about it can.
I hug. Can she then hug like like
basically like where she shot and then she kind of goes like
to the other side of the door to kind of like get cover?
Yes, she can. So you move to the South side of
the room, just behind the door frame, Yes.
Went to the door. Oh wait, it's super cold in
here. You said right.
Very. Hey, Remington, can I borrow
that? Oh, that's right, you gave.
You already gave up all the water, right?
Shit. Yeah, I only had two.
You. Need this?
Oh, you still got to have a bottle of water.
Yeah. Can I borrow that?
I mean, it was a special gift from Bestie, but these are
special circumstances. Here she.
Tosses it. I'll take it.
I like to use my bonus action. Mm hmm.
To throw the bottle of water specifically between the two of
them, OK? And hopefully that spills out
everywhere without being as cold as that is.
Maybe that'll kind of frost over, making it slip more
slippable for them and then I'm going to shoot them with my
assault, right? The bottle is plastic glass, so
you throw it at the ground. If you want it to break, you
have to roll for that because it is shatter resistant.
OK, sure. I will.
I'm going to roll education. Oh, it does not go well.
You throw it towards them, it bings off the glass on the
outside of the cockpit and comes flying back towards you and
donks you on the head, giving you a -, 1 to hit.
It's really embarrassing everyone sees.
Stop. Stop laughing at me.
And instead of using my assault rifle, I'm actually going to use
a baby boomer. My grenade launcher.
I'm just baffled I didn't break. Wait, give me.
Back my water. Then it rolls across the floor.
As you're not paying attention, he lets off a grenade into this
room and it explodes next to these two dudes, causing 7D6
damage. Holy shit.
And they both take a serious amount of damage.
The explosion causes the door to fly shut, and now you don't know
their fate. I mean, can I find out their
fate? Sure.
First, he's first. I'm gonna open that door.
And what does their fate look like?
Well, the guy on the ground, he's got a broken arm and he's
holding his arm, So as a pilot, that's probably bad.
The other guy has got serious burns and he's also below half
health and he also has got a broken arm.
They're now buddies in broken arms because I wrote a six for
both of them. Fuck are they opposite?
Yes, one's broken their left arm, The other one's broken
their right arm. We.
Got one full person. So I'm going to walk in here, go
up to the one that is not the pilot, I'm going to bring out my
very heavy pistol and I'm just going to shoot this fucker point
blank with it. And you will do that.
After he attempts to shoot you. You can ask the enemies have to
shoot. Sometimes this feels like when
he would do that 16 beat a 16 to dodge the bullet.
How about that 23? Yes, you dodged the first
bullet. He attempts to shoot you again.
Beat a 1319. The second bullet flies past
you, completely avoiding you. Well, you tried to kill me.
Now I'm going to have to return the favour, no?
Fuck you. Oh shit.
And you shoot him for 17 damage, which is more than he has of
health. And he is.
And this guy fucking dies because he's got -4 health right
now. And I'm going to look over at
the pilot, point my pistol at him, keep this thing flying
steady where you're next. Do you fucking understand me?
Yeah. I don't have an arm.
Figure it the fuck out. That's not my problem.
Is it OK? And I I wave my cybernetic arm.
Oh look, I don't have an arm either, but I should figure it
the fuck out. So, right.
Maybe you need to seize the fucking day and understand what
you can do and not wonder about what you can't do.
Believe in yourself, you piece of shit.
Right, you got it. Did you want like, to
interrogate me about the place that you are in in some kind of
fashion, or you're just going to leave me to make sure this thing
doesn't crash? Humble Let everybody else do
that 'cause they're smarter than me.
That is very valid and completely on point for your
character. You need to give yourself more
credit. You're very intelligent in your
own way. Yes, that's right.
You're really intelligent, especially 'cause you have a gun
pointed at me. Fuck.
Don't kiss up, just 'cause my best friend said nice things.
Oh, it's nice that you have friendship.
That's a Christmas miracle. I don't like all the platitudes.
He goes up to the machine, it's gonna be really hard.
And he pushes the autopilot button and the thing just
follows the OK. OK, tell us, where is that
stupid doctor? Doctor Forecast Yeah, yeah,
he's, he's in the, he's in the chambers.
What? Where are the chambers?
The mid chambers of the airship. In what direction they don't act
like? A Band-Aid.
No shut. Up West and South.
OK, I'll shut the fuck up. I'm sorry you have a gun and I'm
scared. West and South.
Wait, what? Go out of this room West and
then you go South into the main chain.
Why is everybody Amerigo fucking Vespucci?
Who? The hell is that?
I didn't take geography in class anyway.
Wait, what kind of system are we working with here?
Where, where? Where can we turn everything
off? Yeah.
Where the fuck's the compass Rose?
I can't see it out. Here and there's probably some
security cameras. It's just that way and then
down. Where's the security system?
Oh, OK, that actually made it a lot easier.
OK. Thank you, Magellan.
Security system. Where is it?
The security system is the cloud.
I'm genuinely surprised you got in here.
You must have rolled really well.
Oh. All right then.
Thanks stupid. Also SLAP.
Also, Doctor Forecast is like, really fucking dangerous.
What makes him so dangerous? He'll start initiative.
Shit. We are dangerous.
OK, all right. OK, Come on let's let's let's
let's all get in there can. You give us a.
Quinta. Quinta, Santa Maria.
Let's get in there. Come on.
All right. La Quinta oh.
My God, we slap you, leave the pilot in the cockpit.
I'm going to head over to Retro Richard.
Can you get the doors open? Yeah, do your thing.
Do your thing. All right.
The finger thing. The finger thing.
Oh, well. No, no, that.
OK. Not that one.
The other. OK.
The other. Finger Shibari, Steve also does
that. Oh, sometimes, yeah.
Yeah, here we go. That's usually on Fridays
though. Electronic Security Tech 31.
You fiddle around with this and as you touch the keypad you
notice that it is also quite cold.
The temperature sensor in your cyber hand detects that it is
below the ambient temperature, which means this whole airship
you have discovered is a heat sick for the machine and it's
absorbing this air and dissipating it into the cloud
surrounding you the door. Clever.
Should we just crash this strip? Oh yeah, fuck yeah.
Sorry to rain on your parade. Oh.
That's a good one. Oh, you have finally made it to
the location of where I am in this room.
Sure, it is time for me to get windy.
Yeah, or some. Other kind of river pond, Joe,
you're going to? Fart.
Take a lead lozenge you loudmouth fuck.
No, you see I am big bad. So when you enter room, yeah, it
is time for you all to roll for initiative.
Well, fuck. Looking for an RPG podcast that
isn't just D&D? Roll to cast?

ROLE. Come discover a new world
as you're throwing your shade, Remington.
You smile at Doctor Forecast and he smiles back at you and you
blink and he moves to the left. You do not see him move to the
left. He just moves to the left and
retro. A chill goes up your spine
because you recognize that movement and you recognize that
sound. This motherfucker has a
sandavision. Fucking God damn Sandavisions.
What? But Remington, you're the 1st to
take action in this fight that decides the fate of the Night
City parade. Very nice, see very epistle that
is rate of fire. One which it was more than one,
and the step out from behind this transformer and behind
behind level in my very heavy pistol.
Like I said, take a lead. Lozenge.
You really now fuck open fire on this little bitch?
Do you shoot the Maelstrom goon in front of you or Doctor
Forecast himself? Well, I want to shoot Doctor
Forecast 18. As you pull the trigger, you see
him smile and nod at you at a speed that makes you very, very
upset. And he rolls a crit 10.
That's a Max crit of 23 as he sidesteps your bullets and
you've see him move in blood. So that's what it feels like.
Do you do anything else in your turn?
You still have a little movement lab.
I'm going to go back behind this transformer and we'll hide back
there. Catch my breath, silver.
Bitches. Faster than I am.
I don't. I don't know how I feel about
that. I'm going to have to reconsider
my entire life's purpose. You move behind the machine and
you no longer can see that is true Doctor forecast.
I don't. Want to see it?
He fucking terrified me. Yeah.
Right. That's on purpose.
Doctor Forecast steps forward. He pulls out this gun and he
pulls it out from his side and it clicks onto his arm and flips
onto the other side with a really satisfying and very
cyberpunk swish. The handle for this gun slips
into his hand from the underside and you can hear a charging
noise as it builds up electricity.
And he shoots at the closest target, which is retro rolling
an 18. That's a hit.
When hit, the target must roll. Resist torture.
Drugs will be electrocuted DB13. Of course you did this to me.
You're the one who stood for the furthest step.
This is your. I I did what I did, I don't take
it back. Good.
Nope, you are electrocuted. On a fail, the target falls to
the floor and goes prone, taking an extra 1D four damage, which
is only one You are hit for 18 damage minus your.
That's a shocking experience. I am the weather maker, you
motherfucker. And Doctor Forecast uses the
rest of his incredibly fast motion to disappear from sight.
OK, who do who do I see in front of since he he moved away?
You can see one goon. Fantastic.
OK, How? How?
Motherfucker she.
Shoots 17. Yes, that hits and you hit for
11 damage. You rolled A6 and A1 for damage.
So there's balance in all things.
And these bullets hit this guy and his armour gets reduced by
1:00 because of your bullets and he takes seven damage.
Aside from may have some special grenades, is that basically she
can't do that on this turn? You've used a heavy pistol that
would take your full action to do that, but a heavy pistol I
believe has a rate of fire of two so you can shoot your gun
again. Oh my goodness, I forgot about.
That so your second hit 19 also hits but the damage is bullshit
as it like flicks off a piece of his armour.
You only cause one HP damage with that, but you do a blade
his armour by a little bit. Do you do anything else with
your turn? I'm not able to move.
Yes you are. You moved one square your your
movement is I think, 6. Oh, let me see.
OK, so this so. Whatever your move skill is, you
can move in your turn. If you want to do double your
movement, that takes up your attack as well.
OK, so if I'm behind this area here, I don't know what this
thing is. It looks like it's part of the
the ship. Yeah, that's where she's going
to go. She's going to move behind that
piece. So close.
There's a goon far away. Who saw you shoot this guy?
This Maelstrom goon who's been hired by Doctor Forecast moves
over to get a site on you, Cipher.
He shoots you with this heavy pistol missing, missing you, and
the bullet flies past you, Dings off the glass behind you and
sticks into the other wall, not enough to even leave the
building. He pulls the trigger again,
hitting you for a crit. Fail on damage of eight,
reducing your your armour by one.
That's it. Stupid still hit you Dick.
I'm I'm going to walk over to Retro to try and like, lift him.
Hold on. I I got it.
I got it. All right.
I'm going to switch tactics and I'm going to reach for my heavy
pistol and I'm going to take a shot at the goon nearby. 16
Hitting with crit failed damage again.
That's eleven. It still does some damage.
It still hurts him. His armour is still bladed by
one and he takes six damage. I get another shot, yeah.
I take another shot at him. I think you do 15.
Does that hit? Yes, it does.
He hit this guy again for 18 damage this time.
Holy moly, that's doing a total of 14.
Oh, it didn't. It didn't.
Didn't it? All right, so that's a crit.
Which is Oh, that's a nine. Get wrecked.
The the guy leans on the transformer.
The pipe he touches burns his hands and he moves away quickly,
twisting too much and you hear a ligament in his leg snap and
tear. Oh fuck.
Sorry. Oh my bad.
You OK? Wait, but no, I don't care about
you. So this guy actually goes under
half elf, under half elf. That's a Christmas pun.
He goes under half elf and takes another critical injury which is
7. A foreign object gets stuck in
his body. He tries to grab his gun and his
gun goes into his abdomen barrel first.
Oh. Fuck.
That's so fucked. And he leans against the
transformer pieces that aren't boiling hot and is now
essentially. Which one was that?
Oh, that one right there. Do you want to do anything else
with your turn? You still I?
Would like to move away. And do so.
I'm going to do. I'm going to peek around and be
like, oh OK. Move around the transformer and
you step right in front of Doctor Forecast who looks at you
and smiles. A.
Little wave. Hi, yeah.
OK, Retro is going to get up from printing problem, and it's
still very dazed from being electrocuted.
And the last painful moment ricochets through Retro's mind
of being laughed at, which Retro does not like being laughed at.
OK, I don't like being bullied, all right?
And everyone just needs to stop making fun of me.
Stop making fun of me and Retro is going to fire off his
grappling arm at this dune right here, and he's going to whip him
like a Wrecking Ball at this transformer right here trying to
aim for the turbine flat. You know the turbine part,
hopefully jamming them in there and possibly exploding it.
Nice. And I will roll for that.
Do so. That's a 32.
You fire your grapple hand at this guy who's paying attention
to Cipher. He's pretty happy with the shots
he made because he now has advantage.
Cipher has no cover, and he's kind of bloating a little bit.
And then this grapple hand grabs him by the wrist, and he looks
at his wrist and you across the room, attached by a cable, and
then you whip him. You whip him real good and he
flies across the room, smacks into the transformer, and you're
like, yeah, that thing's going to explode and that thing minces
his left leg like it. But that machine gives no shit
about this human being coming towards the blades of the
intake. It is way stronger than that.
It does an insanely the best piece of equipment and this guy
loses his left leg as it gets mulched on the machine.
It's gruesome. All of you were a little bit
taken back by how like the machine just didn't even blink
I. Guess that's what happens when
you're on a naughty list. Yikes.
Well, Doc, did you, Doc, did you forecast that?
I can't move that much because I had to get prom.
I had to pick up from your prom. I come around here and up.
You step forward past the transformer and you see Doctor
Forecast to your right, and on the other side of Doctor
Forecast is prompt, waving at you awkwardly in the fight.
OK. I will, I will just.
I will just rear back in. I'm just going to be not ice to
beat you and punch him with my slap around. 28 Doctor Forecast
smiles at you as he goes to Dodge, and you punch him where
he's about to be and you clock him across the face.
No. Roll 26.
He's turned on all my face. And not only do you cause him
damage, you also blade his head armour by 1.
The Maelstrom goon who has the next turn, unfortunately is on
the ground and incapacitated, and he just tries to get away.
He crawls towards the he crawls towards the corridor that leads
to the cockpit, and as he steps past, the transformer sees
Remington, looks at you and goes.
Oh. Shit, He attempts to shoot you.
He's not doing well. So there is a a -, 2 to this
attack. 17. Beat a 17.
OK, I will. You rolled a 19.
The bullet flies by you and you just kind of look at this guy
with pity because you can only take one shot.
We, we, we we all make mistakes. But just sit there and think
about what you've done. Everybody's saying that.
Buy me a drink 1st and we'll talk about where things will go.
On the other side of the room, a goon steps out from a
Transformer and he sees on either side of Doctor Forecast,
prompt on one side and Retro on the other.
Prompt evens or Odds? Odds.
That's a one. He aims at Retro Bye man and
shoots you rolling a crit's veil.
His gun fucking breaks. It does not cause any damage.
He gets super pissed off. He does not roll enough to hit
you, so the bullet just flies through the room, bouncing off
something and doing basically nothing.
He throws his gun to the ground. Now without one, he steps even
closer to Retro and attempts to hit him with his large baton,
rolling a 17 Retro roll evasion 16.
As you try to dodge, this thing hits you for eight damage.
So you take 4 damage and your arm is a bladed boat.
Oh, he cracked my screen, you asshole.
He cracked the screen on my ugly sweater.
That son of a bitch. It's.
Fucking ugly anyway. Remington Well, first thing I'm
going to do is I'm going to charge past this dipshit right
here and get out where I can see everything because he's not
worth following up to be taken seriously.
Well, in that case, I'm going to take my single, solitary shot at
a doctor. Fuck Noble over there. 25 + 8
crit and you're so happy with this, except your damage is
bullshit. You rolled A crit.
Fail on damage. Hey doctor, fuck you.
Yes, can I use my inspiration to re roll the damage?
Yes, you can roll 4D6 for me please.
No, I'll be happy to do. That oh wait, we can use it
that. Way any roll you can choose to
re roll, even one eye roll. There you go. 11 you have
increased that damage. Another crit fail.
Unfortunately three more damage and he tries to evade.
Unfortunately, rolling a crit fail on invasion, meaning he
does not move from where he stands.
The bullet hits him and causes. 11 damage.
Doctor's orders. Sit the fuck down.
Oh, that was actually quite a good shot, cowboy.
I'm fully aware. I know what I'm good at.
You've got to placate me, you dipshit.
You don't get to. Yeah, I got my nails, so I can
really do. He called Doctor, Forecaster.
Dipshit happily. He steps forward past his
maelstrom friend and attacks you.
Here's the thing, he's right next to you.
So he's not going to shoot you with his big ass gun.
He's going to hit you with his pursuit security.
Mounter beat a 1320. You dodge his attack.
He takes a step back and fires his storm gun at you.
Peter, 20, just a bolt of lightning and and magnetic
bullet, flies past your head. The noise gives you a shiver and
the electricity cascades through the air and tickles the corners
of your beard. I got chills.
They're electrifying. You still Suck, Doctor Forecast
uses his incredible Smeed. Smeed uses his incredible speed
to move across. The room, Smee, that dude who
hung out and drank with Captain Hook.
This is not the time for referential jokes.
Do I see this bastard that was trying to laugh at me who got
totally fucked up? That's him, right?
That that's a different guy. He's pretty fucked up.
He's on the ground. He tried to shoot Remington
earlier. You heard that.
And he's just he's he's worse for wear.
This guy is like close to death. Oh, it's going to be a silent
night for you, dude. And then she's just going to.
Fire. Jesus, it's like completely
helpless and on the ground. He's like killing.
It. Yeah, no, no mercy. 19 Yeah.
No, he can't avoid that. That's 13 damage, which is more
health than he has, including his armour.
And you blow a hole through the side of his face, and his half
of his skull explodes across the ground, and he dies.
Looks like a hole in one, OK? And that's a heavy pistol, so
you can shoot again. You also still have movement.
Yeah. Where is that dude?
Where is he? Where is he the other guy here?
From there you can see a Maelstrom Goon on the other side
of Retro and Remington, and you can see a little bit of Doctor
forecast further down. There was no partial cover, so
you can hit him, but it's far. You'd need a long range weapon
for that. That's quite quite a large wide
room. Yeah, Oh, my hands are tied
with. This one unfortunately Shibari.
Steve started Shibari Steve. Hopefully he remembers our next
session. So do you just wait there for an
opportunity? Yeah.
Unfortunately. Sounds good.
The goon who's in a lot of pain tries to get help, but he can
only move 3 squares. So I'm going to come up behind
this other guy because he's a little too close for comfort and
I'm just going to take a shot with my.
At the guy closest to you or doctor forecast.
I just got closest. Want to get him out of?
Here, yes, you rolled A14 with your pistol, which causes 15
damage to this guy. Now he's not taken many hits in
this fight, this guy but 15 damage is still 15 damage and
with his SP of six you cause 9. Great.
I'm kind of happy where I am because I'm a little bit
protected, but not really, yeah. So yeah.
I'm good. All right.
Nice quick turn. Well done.
Oh fuck. Oh, close range.
Yeah, just leave. Retro is going to go after the
dock. OK, full movement to get up to
them, pull out, trust the ash point blank.
Shoot them direct. Shoot the aim shot at the at the
hand. Try to disarm.
Him from the storm, 20 rolling again.
Oh oh, he tries to step out of the way.
Unfortunately, he gets hit because all he he tries to step
back misjudging the direction of your shot, and you hit him for
18 damage. And I disarm him.
And you disarm that's that's -8 you made that, that's very
impressive. Well done.
Thank you. So his storm gun falls to the
ground in front of him. I'd like to grab it.
It has one shot in it since it has to be charged by his armour.
That's all I need because I just want to pick it up using my
bonus action and just, you know, cock it back for a year old
time. Now fucking pull the trigger. 20
for 20 damage? You're not even kidding.
He has 20 health left. You blow a hole into him.
He's a little resistant to the electricity, but he fries his
sand and dizzy and pops three or four times as the fluid inside
it just fizzles. And.
It falls to the ground and the room goes red.
There's an alarm. Dead Man switch activated.
And the goons that are still
standing all fucking move. They all run.
Some of them are grabbing parachutes from inside their
jackets and leaving the fucking room.
They are out. The ones that can move.
There's a guy in the ground is trying to move.
He can't. His leg is missing.
The other guy is basically dead. Doctor forecast is on the ground
and combat is over. But also there is now an airship
plummeting towards the city which.
Part of the city. Where the parade's going to be?
Oh fuck, do we have to fix this? Or can we just leave?
Wait, another parade got cancelled?
But I have to make it not cancelled, and if it's just
weird to happen, save the parade.
I'm going to go charging into the cockpit where autopilot
asshole was point by a very heavy pistol right in their
face. Go.
This thing's obviously on a crash course.
How are we fucking overriding? That's a good answer.
Some of it ran off doctor forecasts like Cerebral Cortex,
like the positioning and stuff. So he's dead.
The ship doesn't really know how to go.
I can like steer it towards the Badlands maybe, but that will be
tough with only one arm. I will need some help.
I will go and help auto the pilot asshole.
Okay, roll for it. Well, I mean, what better than
you use the thing that's been the most helpful my cyber.
Arm 30 Yes, you managed to steer the airship towards a crash
course that's just beyond the junkyard, outside of the walls
of Knight City. It's plummeting, it's moving,
and you have very little time. The pilot gets up to leave and
heads towards a locker in the back of the room, where there
are some parachutes. He grabs one of them looking at
Remington, walks past him and then just jumps out of the ship.
Get to the chopper. Yeah, we got, we got our own
escape vehicle and I'm charging for for that.
You all head towards the flight vehicle.
Everyone roll Athletics. That's the thing I don't see. 14
Good yes 16 Oh no. Wait wait WAIT.
Confirmation. That's twelve, yeah.
No, I'd, I'd, I'd probably rob it of them if I were you.
Much better. Yes. 16, Yes.
So you will make it to the flight vehicle.
It detaches from the airship and you watch the cloud of acid rain
and this broken airship roll towards the Badlands, land in
the distance and explode. And as you cascade out, you will
look at prompt as they stare out at this explosion.
The Sky's clear. She looks down at her agent and
smiles as she gets a notification that the parade is
back on you. All saved Christmas.
Oh, my God. OK, we we did it.
We did it. We did it.
I still have a job. That's great.
Parade's going to be on. We can go, baby, we can't go
back to the apartment. Is there another spot we can go
to? Come on.
I mean, yeah, there's always the bar.
I'm very thought of drinking more.
Glitter. Yes, all the glitter.
Oh shit, I forgot to get April Adonis's autograph.
Hi everybody. Thank you so much for having me
on. It's been an honor to get to
play Prompt, my very high strung executive who is a secretary and
just manages everybody's schedule.
It has been a bunch of fun. I didn't probably say my name.
My name is Ash Ignis. I go by Arcane Faith online.
It's Arcane Faith with AY everywhere.
Pretty much Instagram, Twitter, Tiktok, everything you can think
of. I do a lot of random things, a
lot of tabletop games modeling, some streaming, but you know,
just kind of hanging out, having some fun with friends and
playing some amazing cyberpunk and other tabletop games all
around the Internet. Hello everyone.
Thank you so much for having me on.
I had an absolute blast portraying Remington.
My name is Bjorn Anders. If you are online and you see
the handle DG Broadham on any of the socials, that is probably
me. I'm talking Twitter, Instagram,
probably a bunch of other crap that I'm not thinking of off the
top of my head because there are apps that I sometimes forget to
use. I am the Dungeon Master most
often on the channel Dice jailers.
You can find us on YouTube and on Twitch.
I also play in the bands Buffalo and if you look at Bob and
Dangerous Brothers on Spotify that is also me.
So yeah, I do a whole bunch of shit.
I was on Ether Ike for say the D8 and also I got to be a guest
DM for two episodes of say the D8 which they allowed me to
blend in with the homebrew world that created my own campaign in
the previously mentioned dice jailers.
Which means they are actually part of my Canon shit, which
actually makes me really happy because I'm a big fan of the
current group of characters. So that was a little blessing
for me. I'm not going to lie, it's a lot
of fun and this was an absolute blast, so thank you.
Thank you guys so much for having me.
This was absolutely insane and I loved every minute of it and
playing with you guys. So this has been absolutely
amazing. I go by Utahime on social media.
I got to play your lovable psychopath side for tonight.
Hopefully I got to bring her back because she's just too much
fun to play. So if you want to find me on
social media, I'm up to lots of Tabletop shenanigans on a weekly
basis. I also too.

So if you want to take a look at that, please be sure to tune in.
It's a lot of fun over there and then every other Tuesday over on
the red hair in I've been playing it in this amazing D&D
campaign called the acronym Expeditions, where I play
definitely a very opposite character of the character I
play tonight, Fenara Velar, who is our seafling, our half CEO,
half halfling, who's a cleric. Yeah, that's that's a mouthful.
It's hard to say but she's a cinnamon roll.
She's the sweetest little being. Definitely.
