Last time on no latency. I'm addicted to hardcore drugs.
I'm better now. VV right now.
I'm sorry, I'm very flustered right now.
I have a lot going on. Retro's going to record that
whole thing. What do you say Auto fire?
Well, that ain't bad, yeah. Watch out, Iona's going to
skeet, skeet you. Anyone else want some skeeting?
Let's just put this guy down. I can't wait till we're done
with them on. Purpose.
You did it almost as good as Domino.
Yeah, that's right. It was on purpose.
And don't can do that one more time.
Wow, every. Once in a while I I do think to
myself. Well, don't think about
humanity. Not to these guys.
Think about. What's in front of you?
Big. Boy here I.
Know yeah, blue glass really does get you fucked.
Up. All right.
Well, carry on boys. You say you're welcome.
You're. Welcome.
He stole a shit car. A whole, yeah.
Baby. I landed a hit.
Great shot. Thanks, Domino.
Seeing that there are people ganging up on retro, I'm going
to walk my happy ass over there. Well, I can't move my thingy
anymore. Hold on.
Oh, I got it. Don't worry.
I'm here. I got it.
All right.
While I'm while I'm heading over there, I'm reloading with
incendiary bullets. Yeah.
So take that. Nice.
Oh, it's. Bad.
Oh, it's not good. Oh, it's bad.
It's not a negative crit so it just misfires and doesn't hit.
That's OK. I shake it like it's a natural
sketch and I do it again. Do you shoot the guy on the left
or the guy on the right? This one, this one I can't ping
anymore. Press the hold left, left.
Left Mm Hmm OK you shoot. Your first bullet shoots through
the room and hits the back of the wall, causing no major
problems other than. Shooting don't move anymore, but
yeah. Oh fuck and you shoot him in the
body for 12 damage? Is that all you do iono?
That is both. That is my rate of fire of two
and I came on over here. But the incendiary bullets do,
yeah. They do extra things, don't
they? Don't they?
I don't know what they do, but I do know they do extra things.
That's why I put them in. In your gun.
In my gun. When using this ammunition,
whenever you deal damage to a target through their armor, you
ignite the target. Thank.
God, that's what I was hoping they did.
Until your targets in action to put themselves out, they take
two damage directly to their HP whenever they end their turn.
Multiple instances of this effect cannot stack.
You can't be on fire and also on fire, but the guy looks at you
and. Oh fuck.
Oh. Shit and he's inside so the rain
does not put out the fire. Exactly, that's why I did that
and I high 5 vendo. And you go to high 5 Bendel, but
you do it every dead body. So we'll have sanitization.
Oh, oh EW. No, don't sit there.
Oh. Oh, I oh, oh, thank you.
Oh, where's the detent? I've still got that guy's like
bits of brain on my foot. Yeesh.
But you're all innate, so that doesn't bother you.
Not right now, but it will later.
Well, everyone else getting rat in the thick of it, so let's go
ahead and join them and I'm going to step right over here
and take a shot at this is big boy right here, right?
No, that's the boss. Oh, that's the boss.
This is big. This is big boy.
Well, there's, you know, Domino seems to to have the boss taken
care of. So let's go ahead and just Bang
Bang against the boss here. Or sorry, big boy here.
All right, so you take two shots at Bad Boy.
The first one hits beautifully. That's it.
You can dodge. Bullets just step.
Out of the rain, you don't. Work.
Oh, the first bullet misses from the gun that didn't work
earlier. Yeah, it's still not clean.
The second bullet, though, hits as he steps to avoid the other
one. Oh.
That was smart, Jeb. Oh.
Nice. And he takes our 12 damage.
Are those armour piercing? No, there's regular 45 caliber
big boy moments. But he did go under half health.
Good, that slammy fuck the. The He gets the same in an
injury as domino. Poetic justice, perhaps, as you
watch a muscle on his side buckle underneath his skin.
Yep, Yep. Let's see, that's how a domino
feels. Don't feel too good now, does
it? No, not really.
Well, just think about what you're doing, that's all.
I thought he'd still be sick from drinking that Red Tide
ammonia cocktail. That was a few months ago.
The Tide Pod. Yeah.
Oh, are you guys doing that Tide Pod challenge again?
Don't do that. They look like candy.
It's not good. Wow.
Barry, that's an old reference. I got yours.
It always comes back around. It's no longer.
Chicks. The boss tries to attack Domino,
missing with his very heavy weapon as it smashes onto the
ground and the ground cracks, but Domino rolls a crit 33 on
evasion and manages to dodge 10 feet.
Oh, you. Missed and very heavy medley
weapons only have a rate of fire of 1 bitch.
I love that Domino loves to curse.
Really knows his stuff. It feels good in the mouth,
Iona. Phrasing.
I'm sorry, what? Well, I didn't sign up for this
casting couch. I would believe.
It money. I would believe that the cars
here in Night City run off of lithium ion batteries, correct?
No, it's Chim, It's petrol. 2. Yeah, it's 2. 2. 22.
Synthetic petrol. They make it out of wheat.
It it's ethanol. Biotechnica founded the formula
for it. And then they sold it to Seville
I. Think so, Savoil.
Yeah. And then Petro?
Can. You're welcome.
Yeah. Yeah.
BM mm hmm If I was to leap out of the vehicle from the opposite
side MM hmm and drop a grenade, would dropping a grenade count
as an action? Yes.
Even if it was to like, I don't know, say have the spoon pin get
pulled if I was to, you know, angle it just right to get it
knocked off with the window shield wiper thing.
Evans over here. Are you sure it's a it's an
action, even if it's, oh, I don't know, dope as hell.
I'm. Going to rule.
Cool this as best I can. Look, if you can do a real cool
thing, but you can only really 'cause damage with the grenade
is what I'm getting at. OK.
That's why you can do kind of Bony shocks and stuff by pushing
that guy because there's no damage so it doesn't have the
same effect balance wise. All right then, I would like to
drop a grenade. Sure.
As I run out of the vehicle and I'm going to run towards the
couch, but I'm going to try to grab slash tackle Vendel at the
same time, so hopefully they're not caught in the blast.
Oh damn, that's fucking lit dude.
Wow. Yeah, that's lit fam all.
Right. Roll for it.
What do you want me to roll? Acrobatics.
Brawling. We don't.
That's athletics evasion. 17 yeah.
Fendale also has to roll evasion, but gets +1 thanks to
Retro. I can never remember.
Fighting. Fighting 15. 15 yes, good enough
you make it to the other side of the sofa.
Retro as the car splints, Roll me 5 DC.
Damn. Does Iona need to roll for
evasion at all? Oh my cool, just standing next
to the blast. You're not next to it, you're.
No, that's really far because that's like 20 feet.
So no if. It ain't hitting if it ain't
hitting, bad boy, it ain't hitting Iona.
I was about to say. All right.
And the vehicle gets an extra 262-D6 stamp of edge.
That's five with A4 and A1 and it explodes.
The guy who was on fire is now more on fire but also dead.
You can be more on fire than you were before and also be dead.
And he's dead on the ground. The other guy takes math.
Oh, critical injury. This is fun.
Oh. Shit, I got he took math he.
Took math he He steps back and his friend's body lands on his
hand and you watch his fingers crush underneath the weight of a
metal. Oh.
Fuck after you died you fucking. Break.
He's got -4 to all actions for the rest of time because he's
not long for this world and the vehicle has exploded.
Hey guys, I found a parking spot.
Great. I mean, I don't know, I thought
our spot seemed fine. Honestly, it's closer to the
exit. Yeah, but this one's closer.
To what? Yeah, what it's.
Vandel's turn. It is Vandel's turn.
There's. The lighters on that.
Thanks Retro, it's my. Turn Vandel is going to Vandel
is going to escape through this crowd of friendlies here with
their sword out and try to escape around the the big bad
boy, the big boy, not the bad boy, the big boy and slice him
to help Domino. Amazing.
All right, have a slice that's. Not.
Good, he says, as a sword just goes through his lower abdomen.
Oh, Oh no. Twice.
Oh, oh, Oh no. Two creep fails in a row for the
boss of these maelstroms. He's not doing well.
Good job, Lendell. Thanks.
Lendell's getting the slice of that cake.
Oh 5. Yeah, Phil, what's that crunch
sound? I would recognize that.
I think we've, I think we've crunched like so many ribs by
now. That's.
Like. Oh, that's a rib cracking.
Sound. That's definitely a rib.
Yeah. Oh yeah.
That's like R68 and seven. Do do we have enough, enough
movement to take a step back and back away out of melee range?
Yes. All right.
Because then that has quite a lot of movement.
Very true. They're very.
Fast, they pull their sword back out of him and take a step back
towards you. Iona.
Yeah, so they they pull the sword out of the big bad and and
as they do it, they're pushing themselves back on their roller
feet into like a power stance in front of Iona.
I'll. Protect you.
Wow, you are looking so cool. Yeah.
Good job. I looked really cool, it was
nothing to do with the NPC rolling 2 crip fails.
Oh no, you were awesome. I was great.
It would be that guy's turn, but he's on fire and dead.
Yeah. What a lazy bastard.
Journey into the World of Frost Born, The newest arc of Dungeons
at Randomness takes place 100 years after our last, meaning
it's a perfect time to jump into the show.
A small group of adventurers embark on an epic tale of
rebuilding and revenge in the magically frostbitten world of
Tharia. They'll struggle to stay alive
in harsh conditions as they call in every favor they have in
order to get payback. Against a corrupt king.
New audio and video episodes are posted every Monday, and you can
even help the group build the settlement as part of our
Discord. Find us on Spotify, YouTube, or
wherever you get your podcasts. The endless winter has finally
come. And I'll be joining Dungeons in
Randomness on May 31st at 7:00 PM West Coast time as part of
Theraathon. Come check it out.
And now, back to the show. No.
With the rebar bat, Bendel has
to roll Invasion you've. Inflicted a critical entry says
so. Right there.
That's not good. They take, they take 10.
Oh my. My abusion doesn't though.
Doesn't count. Oh wait, that's.
And fast. Boy, oh, you rolled a 16?
I did. You did.
Avoid it, yes. Oh, thank.
Goodness, because it means that they have to move to a square
choose. Vandel has to move to a square.
Yeah, they can't stand there. I need to.
Be here. Well, move back to where you
were, I suppose. OK.
Moves towards the larger and more dangerous Maelstrom,
avoiding the damage. But the damage was was a crit
success and that would have been really bad.
That would have been bad times. And he attacks again.
Vendel has to Dodger 13. I think that might do it.
That'll do it. Pushes bad boy back and he falls
over the dead person behind him. He has fallen prone.
That's. Right, that's what you get.
Cross arms pose A. Little foot A little foot thing
that's cool a. Little foot thing.
Yeah, he's got a little token on him for prime Little Foot.
What On his token? I put a little thing.
It's not. On him to pin him down to the
ground. Oh, I, I totally.
I was like, I have no idea what that was.
I see it now. It's not enough.
Yeah, the one, the one dead guy next to a next to me has a
broken heart. Poor guy.
A male, she steps out to the
building and attempts to shoot Domino.
Good luck buddy. 16. Yeah.
Domino Dodgers with a 20. 4 Thanks, Phoebe.
Nobody can hit you, Domino. Only the best thanks to you.
While looking at you, he attempts to dodge again
successfully. See.
Nice try, motherfucker. I know he's a grunt, but that
cockiness is going to come back to him so quick.
If I know anything about no latency, that always comes back
to bite us. A bullet comes flying towards
Vendel. Dodge an 18 Vendel.
What? No ow that.
Bladed my armour by one, fuck you.
Do that on the spot. It's hard.
Let's. Mean no, don't you mean again,
I'm going to dodge just a team. It's going to be fine.
See 1219, fuck you. Fuck.
You. Maybe you should have let it
then it could have gone with that other bullet hole that went
through your your jacket. That was Jeb.
Yeah. See.
I like how you didn't have to fight it, just yeah.
I fire back at bad boy all. Right, you get plus one to hit
him because he's praying. Yes. 17 + 1.
To 18. Oh, come on.
Come on. Phoebe, Phoebe, Phoebe.
Tell him it's time to take his medicine.
It's time to take your medicine. He's on the ground, he just fell
over a body. There's no way he can dodge a
bullet while like on his back, so he takes it.
Critical injury time? Oh no.
No. Damn, not really healed.
Me lost time. You could.
You could heal me again. You did.
Oh. God, now you have to know that
this critical injury. I rolled A10.
And that is? Spinal injury.
Oh, the. Worst.
Ouchy, one of the. Worst kinds of injuries you can
get, good Sir. Oh.
Is that your? Medical.
Opinion. Yes it is.
Yeah. Oh fuck.
Well. I've got a little bit of life
left. I might just like this.
It's not like you have two shots.
Right. I was so distracted.
Yeah I do, but I was too busy saying cool lines.
Have us do us all, don't worry. It's what you have to pay in
order to say something cool. They call that the no latency
effect. Indeed.
Now you rolled A crit fail, which means he does get to avoid
in prone, so if he'd rolled under 11 he still would have
been shot, but the bullet just hits him to the side of the head
and he flinches at its ricochet. There's more where that came
from. Well, there doesn't seem to be
much except for the people over there being very high.
And I'm just going to let that happen because that's just, I
don't, I don't need to bother them.
So I'm just here to there's. Water falling from the sky.
Isn't it amazing? It's.
Very cool to touch. I'm just going to be here to
back up what looks like a fight for Domino.
OK, so I guess already an action to shoot if space clears up
because there are too many people in front of me.
Well, bad boy's right in front of you on the ground.
Oh, I thought he was dead. Phoebe missed.
Oh, never mind, I'll shoot him. You shoot this guy on the
ground, he can't dodge, he has very little health and a bullet
goes straight through his chest and you watch blood come out of
the bullet hole as he takes his last breath and bad boy is dead.
I am there. Yep, there he goes.
Oh, sorry. I I thought there might have.
No, no. He was just that close to death.
All right. Good.
And that's a rate of fire, one that gun isn't.
It yes. Yeah, the Super cross, yeah.
Good red ends. I fired it by accident, but
that's OK. I mean, what good, you know,
what was He's working to society.
No, no, it worked. You look really cool.
Plus it looks really cool when you hold it like that.
Thank you, very shiny. Lightningly well.
I suppose now I mean should I help Domino with the boss again?
Seems like maybe Domino could take care of himself and if so,
does he feel like, I don't know, disrespected if I were to help
him or? Job.
Yeah. This is a team of.
It you know, I always knew I liked you.
Bye. Bye.
Oh amazing. Oh.
Yeah, that's amazing. There's a regular, aren't they
are not armor piercing. You said that already.
Correct, they are not armor piercing.
Cool. All right, He takes more damage.
And you shot twice, didn't you? The second one was a crit.
Well done. I rolled the dash really good.
And this guy is very low on health.
You see him bleed as the blood cascades down his body as he
looks over to his dead right hand.
Dead right hand. What's isn't that that song?
That's a song. You've killed my friend, my
brother. You came here.
I've massacred my people. Who the fuck are you?
I'm Domino. We're the chiropractors because
they'd be blowing outbacks. I'm Vendel.
Whoa. I mean, hell yeah.
He steps back in the rain and takes another shot.
Domino. Domino smirks but gets hit all
the same. Taking.
That's a lot of damage guys somewhere.
So what's in the crit? Yes.
It was not a credit. So we have that, but
unfortunately Domino takes a little bit more damage.
Pain was an in is an interesting experience everyone.
And he honestly you, you never get used to it.
And the boss takes another step back and goes to reload his gun
with the rest of his movement. Walk.
Retro, you've got a clear shot, man.
How far away is he? Come on homie. 25.
Take the shop Retro. OK, Retro's going to pull out
his assault rifle, aim it at the at the big boss.
Looks like you're going to be a lefty for the rest of your life.
25 You're doing a name shot. No.
OK. But I've done a name shot that's
going to caught making what, 21 and this guy can dodge.
He tries to dodge but fails and you shoot him with this assault
rifle named Skeleton Key. That is still 10 damage, which
is all the health he has, and as you blow a hole through his
lower abdomen I can see through the other side.
As the rain cascades down his body, the blood mixes with the
puddle below him and he falls into a lump of flesh on the
ground. Oh, Gross did.
You do anything else retro? No, I think I busted him pretty
good. Damn.
And busting makes me feel good. And there are only two more
people left on the battlefield. Are you going to fight them?
I mean, I don't know, maybe this is a good opportunity to teach,
to teach Domino about empathy and the value of human life.
Well, disarm them first. Right.
And then take all their stuff, their material possessions.
Right. But what?
What do I do? Do Do I?
Says Vandel. Do are we, are we going to, we
killed their bosses, so we are we going to wipe them all out?
Well, I mean, I, they're no threat to us, right?
I mean, we are the good guys, right?
Yes. Wait, is this one dead?
No, no, he's not dead. He tried to shoot me earlier.
So there's what are you? Is he cowering?
I'm not cowering, that's. Just the way I stand.
Fuck you. Well, hold on, hold on, hold on.
Let me let me back up. Let me ask you A.
Question for this life. Did you want to die?
Not particularly. OK, then get the hell out of
here. Really.
Yeah. Drop drop your weapons, take
take your buddy's weapons and get the fuck out of here.
OK, Yeah. Give us all of your material
possessions and then leave. He drops some money on the
ground. He drops 32 eddies.
Apparently that's not bad. And a medium pistol with half a
clip of ammo in it. Hey hey buddy, make a few
friends with you too. The.
The the this guy and these hi guys.
Yeah, yeah. Don't pull me.
Up all right, I'm going to roll. That's that's a 2.
That's not enough. And as he tries to pull this guy
out, he pulls him by the the windscreen wiper, and the
windscreen wiper pulls out of the guy's body and he fucking
dies. Oh well.
Oh fuck. All right, and now go ahead and
yeah, just leave. Leave him, take the rest of your
friends. But like I said, all of your
stuff, we're going to need all of it.
Yeah. OK.
Here you go. And the other two drop some
money and that's 40 eddies in total.
And they turn around. And another two cups.
What? Hold on you.
Yeah, I said. I said all of your things and I
am going to need that jacket. This jacket.
Well, yeah, I just think it looks kind of nice.
Well. It's really.
Fucked up it's only got 3 on the left.
Oh, I'm not. I don't want it for and it's not
for me. Oh, OK, but it.
Reduces over to zero, I guess. And I give it to Domino and we
go just here you go. You know, you wear this.
You can always remember the first time that you took a man's
laugh. And you watch these men run away
from this combat. And as you turn to say that to
Domino, you turn around, all of you, to see Domino standing over
the body of the boss with a piece of the boss's flesh in his
hand. Just looking.
Oh. No, I've seen that I go over.
No. That's not good.
Go do your thing, no. Jim.
I place a hand on his, on his shoulder.
Domino. Now listen.
Listen here. I know exactly how you're
feeling right now, because God damn if I don't smell like a
fantastic piece of Tri tip. But I'm going to tell you
something, something I told a good friend of mine and I look
over my shoulder over at at at retro say you can overcome this
addiction for me when it took, like I said earlier, a season
and a half of podcast, but I think with your indomitable will
you can get over this. Jeb, you and I are both aware
that if I eat this dead man's flesh, I will heal my rooms.
Well, yeah, but it's kind of here's the thing that they don't
really tell you in I guess AI school.
I don't know how you got smart, but it's kind of a taboo to eat
people just kind of in general look down upon.
A&B is just kind of socially bad across the board.
Most cultures in this world do not allow for cannibalism, and
not City, as fucked up as it is in various ways, still does hold
itself to at least that standard.
So you haven't eaten my human beings?
Oh no, no, I have definitely more than once various times,
but it was something that I I feel shamed for deep in my heart
and I don't know that want you to feed.
Of order Jeff, I as you said, cannibalism's looked down upon.
However, as you have stated stated earlier during this
fight, Domino ain't people. Oh shit, yeah, that's a good
point. What hell of a loophole.
Go ahead, bud. Go.
For it, buddy. Well, I didn't ask back to you
to say yes, Retro. Hey man, it's locally sourced,
you know, free range. Put it down somewhat.
I suppose if you don't eat it, you're kind of letting it go to
waste in a way. Yeah.
Shit, I really didn't think about how ethical that really
is. And Domino goes to eat this
person. Does anyone try and stop him?
Like the full person? He's like taking a bit of his a
chunk of this guy's lower abdomen flesh.
I did just think of something hold on Bud Domino real quick.
I did think of, of the optics of this 'cause I, I'm thinking, you
know, if there's CCTV footage of this or somehow it gets out that
one of our crew is. Oh jab, jab, jab, jab.
There wouldn't be anything left after we're done with this
place. And without breaking eye
contact, it takes a huge bite out of this piece of flesh.
Yeah, that's, this is going to have to be something that we
might have to, you know, cover up or otherwise make sure it
does not get out that one of our crew is, you know, eating
people. What an interesting turn of
events that my first meal in skin space is human.
That. Sounded.
So just to be clear, we are saying that you're not human.
Did we land on that? Oh I, I don't feel good about
this. That sounded strangely
comfortable and disturbing. That's not good.
Oh shit, did he eat the Adam's apple?
Next time on no latency. You don't have to eat people to
heal. I mean, we have a doctor on
call. Do you still think he's hot,
Vivi? I don't know how to answer that
question. That itself is the answer.
We came here, we fucked their shit up, now we're just going.
To eating people is bad. I am also concerned.
Yes, we're going in the building.
What'd you find back here? Whoa, isn't.
That what we're doing already. Oh Vendel, we should also go
inside. It is raining.
Did you kill these people like real quick before I got here?
Or Jeff, do you recognize this person?
Oh. A light switch.
Oh, there's a scorch mark down here where a rocket must have
hit can. Somebody help me unlock this
thing? Make sure you get the secrets
though from him first. So he does need to repay us.
This was a person who had a light life.
In debt to them, I am sure. Iona they work at Biotechnica
do. Not show him that.
So it makes sense to why he's in here but but I.
Don't know what Maelstrom is doing with all these guys.
