Last time on no latency side quest.
Jeb ran after him. I'm sure he's going to get
justice. No, I got nothing.
I have no idea where he went. Oh whoa whoa, we gotta get you a
smaller one of these. We can fit so many turrets in
this bad boy we've been. Daved shit.
Somebody stole already's. Are you on Team Revenge?
My service is to be best used on Team Revenge.
Let's go. Revenge.
Let's go. We're losing Dayline.
Oh. Thanks.
I'll take the armor. Anything else?
Do we have enough after that guy stole our money?
It's fine, I'll cover it, just pay me back.
Team revenge is probably driving you. 2 are driving right.
Live land vehicle is 21. Base 17 vehicle.
Mine's A7. OK.
So it's certainly the two of us. Big giant mini gun.
Perfect. Saw you pick up the mini gun.
Got it. I've seen Saw's shoulders.
You can call them guns. I got. 2 mini guns right here
big boy. There is some screaming and
celebration as everyone moves their punk not yours.
Now refilled and set up for the race as you head out to Widows
Gulch, which is not far from where you are, so you've.
Made the weirdos goats before. Now that.
You. Know no.
Well, do you know why they call it Widow's Gulch?
Why's that? Cause one time there was a
couple out here that they were married.
OK. And then the guy got run over
while they were kissing and that's why they call it Widow's
Gulch. Do we have time for this?
That was a pretty quick story. It was a quick story.
Yeah, but did we need the story? Oh, why is it called Widow's
Gulch? Because then, but because then
it because then she was a widow because her husband was got run
over when they were kissing. Get run over but not hurt when
they were kissing. Oh, I see, I see.
They were kissing and then he got hit, and then she opened her
eyes and there was nothing there but blood.
Oh, shit, Yeah. That's crazy.
That's depressing. And to answer your question,
Teensy, it adds to the vibe and to the aura and mystery of this
location. That's why we had to hear the
story. Uh huh.
I feel like it removed mystery. Kissing, blood, Burial.
As you roll up the Widow's Gulch, you enter through the
South, the southwest corner of this Canyon and it worms its way
through the world, giving you a half a mile, just over half a
mile journey. The other teams have set up
their punk noughts at the start line and they're staring down a
long Canyon. At the end you can see a cave to
your left and an opening to your right.
The junk master is still setting up and there's a very bogged out
but very lithe and attractive tomb holding a big green flag up
above their head. Where are you all sitting in the
punk nought? Tell me now, there are two seats
in the front and the rest of you are in the back.
Yeah, I'm in the back. Yeah.
I'm hanging on the side, Yeah, with like, my gun in my hand.
That's cool. You gotta run the aerodynamics
like that. Get in the car.
I'm like, barely, like, my head's like barely peeking out,
you know? The the barrel of the minigun
just crosses all three of our laps in the back.
That's just. So I liked it.
So is it a So we've got like 2 sticks, 2 steering wheels, one
on other side. Yeah, like a plane.
Right. But I suppose also like a plane
they are connected to the same like I turn and it, it turns
hers and she turns it and it turns mine.
Yes, they are connected. Yes, we are one.
To turn them apart from each other, you could do a little
Bunny hop by booping the Rockets against each other.
Wait. What?
If you if you could turn them.
Apart the opposite way and you could boop the Rockets together
and do a Bunny hop. Did you not listen?
If you've ever played that that neck game in an arcade, when you
do, when you pull the sticks apart, it would do this speed
boost. I was thinking of driving
California where you double tap the gas pedal and it goes
smaller and you get a boost that way.
Yeah, if you can time the boost at the beginning of this race
correctly, you'll get a boost that you do in America.
Oh yeah, I was about to say like Mario Kart.
All right, Mario. Here.
We go out of. The two of us.
And gentlemen, the junk run is about to begin.
Are you ready to see the carnage?
Yeah. I love the blood.
Race. Wait, they?
Got confused. How much drugs have you been
doing by guys? All right, who has the highest
initiative? Such.
A good question. Know how to look at my basics.
It's your reflex. Correct.
It's just your reflex score. It's just your reflex score 8.
7/7. Solos may have an initiative
modifier like Vendel has plus one to their initiative as part
of their solo role. Well, I'm a solo.
You can move your points around right now also.
Oh yeah, you can move your points before every combat as a
solo to whatever you want. I'm looking where are my points.
You've got 4 points that you can put in and initiative reaction
gives you plus one. Initiative reaction I see
reaction reaction so I get built like 2 in there.
Cool. And then if you want to, I would
recommend put two in there. Yeah.
All right. Yeah, let's do that.
Cool whoever has the highest initiative.
Also click on the red marked Mcnought to give it a roll.
I think I do now right because I have 9 or something.
Oh shit, yeah, probably. 7 + 2 or something like that, yeah.
Quick. He's quick.
Oh. He's passed.
All right, so you're sitting on the back of the punk note and
you're just fucking around with the gun in front of you and
you're sitting on the back a bit.
You feel it go off as it starts to like Rev as Jeb starts to Jeb
and the team all start to like, make the machine go Coyote.
You're in the main driver's seat, right?
Sure, yeah. Oh, you're, you're revving the
engine and it surprises. So when he falls back a little
bit, why he's lost in the initiative.
You hear these like honks as this light setup starts to flash
red. As this happens, Saw's going to
stand up on the back of the Punk knot, put the mini gun in the
air and just say and I want to roll Charismatic Impact A10.
Yeah, I'm a group of. Fans.
You've got some fans out here, there's the crowd like, screams
up. Are there going to be like fans
on like the sidelines, like right as we're driving?
People watching from the pilot. Man, we're going to.
Throw trash at the other guys you know. 18 No, they could use
it. That's.
True, they can use the trash bullets then.
In this moment before the race starts, so your performance last
night before you got drunk and went to bed, it was very good.
Hell yeah, Yeah. I mean, it was, it was
fantastic. It was.
So I got a couple of eddies. I I got this box of ammo.
It says it says. Sound it out.
Arm, arm, arm chainsaw, that's what.
Arm chainsaw on it, yeah. Go snuff butt.
Yeah. And I got a jock strap.
Oh, that'll come down. I think all right.
Technically a projectile. Yeah.
And TC, I'm going to need like 4 of my CDs out of your van before
I leave. What I mean, it's not my van.
It's my van. Coyote's van are.
You ready, I'll? Sit down.
We're racing, baby are. We talking or are you?
Racing the The Banana Gang rolled a 28 on the initiative.
Banana Gang can suck my Dick. They can.
Suck. Your Dick indeed.
Well. I thought that was the rounders
or the purple. Were the rounders zoners?
Zoners What? No, the big.
Banana Gang in turn order. That's what it says.
Banana Gang. Oh.
OK, yellow dot bananas. Yeah, Yeah.
Hold on. Yes, I I fucked that up because
I rolled the wrong thing, so I'm just going to change it, Yes.
Good, good, we. Got.
To know who? We're targeting.
Yeah. Exactly.
Yeah, we hate those guys. I fuck.
Goodness. I like those other guys.
Yeah, we have a gentleman's agreement.
And the zoners take an early lean, with Baby's villains close
behind and the banana again trailing at the back.
Baby's villains can move six square.
Let's. Go.
That's freaking dope bro. If you want to manoeuvre and
pull ahead, roll a driving check.
Yes, Sir. O24. 24 Yes, that's good enough.
Jet's taking the wheel that pumpkin on, and it looks like
it's well built because it's moved forward to overtake the
zoners by just a hair's bread. Break past the Bandana gang by
just a hair. I mean, you know, not to like
min Max are driving, but I feel like maybe cut to the right and
like cut out, cut off these pink guys instead of going straight
forward. You're.
Absolutely right, because we can actually if we do that, we move
here, then we can do a PIT maneuver.
Sure. The operator uses their vehicle
to tap the target vehicle. This this does no damage because
of the vehicle to wobble. At the end of the round the
target vehicles operator makes their position check as if it
were one speed category lower nicely.
So for example 10 move instead of 15 move and if this would
reduce their target vehicles combat speed below 8 move it
spins out of control and crashes.
Exactly, Declan, it's your turn. All right, well, I'm going to
Did we wobble them? Like we have to find out I
suppose. Oh, but we could do that right
now. Yeah.
Oh, then I'll do that. I'll shoot.
Do that. You could do stuff for the
vehicle or you could shoot. Let's.
Do the I'll do the PIT maneuver. That sounds good.
Does it make sense for him to make a driving check though?
Yeah, I'm not. Going to do that.
No, I'm not going to do that. I'm going to just shoot them.
I'll shoot their case. So they got like a they got like
a mini gun, right, That's attached to their bar.
Yeah, I'm going to try to shoot the bolts on the mini gun that's
attaching it to the car. -8 to hit.
Yeah, that's fine with me. I'm going for it, baby.
And I'm just rolling straight the gun.
This one has better aim. Very heavy pistol or heavy or
assault rifle. Assault rifle 20 fucking two.
Yes, that hits. You hit the vehicle for 10, it
slides sideways and lets you pull ahead.
Sweet. Does he does he dislodge or at
least partially dislodge the? The mini gun.
To their gun. 22 -. 8 is 14 No, but you do 'cause damage to the
vehicle all. Right, that's fine.
It's good enough. That's I'll take it as a
success. It has a little bit of armor so
it doesn't take the full 10, but it does take some.
Sure. Nice.
Shot danger. And then drink some water to
hydrate. Rehydrate, Mark.
Mark and that's what's at Jeff. What do you do?
Well, I think we've got to ram them.
Oh, do that. Oh, OK, OK.
I thought that they got that pushed to the right and I
thought we would hit them against the wall.
But we are ahead of them. So we're just gonna keep.
We're we're blasting forward. Hit the Nos no.
No. Maybe.
How? How good?
It is maybe. Save the Nos.
How? How much does Nos give us?
The operator can activate it on their turn as a standard action.
Doing so automatically moves the vehicle one square forward.
Oh, which for our grid is 2 squares forward.
Yeah, hit the Nos. Who cares?
Oh, hit the Nos. You've got 2 charges.
We need to pull ahead before they can.
No, Yeah, but other. Charges ammo.
And goodies as you race, hang out the.
Side also we should use it 'cause I agree gotta get the
early need. Yeah, let them fight each other
in the back. Blink, blink.
That's how racing works. Are we freaking racing Bros?
We talked. Are we ready?
Now this is what I call pod racing.
Yeah. I was just waiting for that one.
Drive my vehicle, do it. Oh, drive.
Oh, sorry. 28, yes. Drove it so good.
Driven, bro. So you managed to pull ahead and
you gain 2 more squares. Do you go left through The Cave
or right under the overpass? It's like the tunnel and Monica
baby. We're taking a right nerd.
Right, Jeb has decided laps. Are we doing laps?
No, you're doing one lap. One lap.
OK, OK, OK. Yeah, because this is the Big
Gulch right here at the bottom. Where the skull is and you pull
ahead. Yeah, you guys are doing it.
Keep doing it. I'm just gonna shoot people to
get close. I don't drive.
Yeah. Do it, Good job.
The zoners trailing in the back are pushing it to the living.
Yeah, as they fall away past the banana gang, rolling a 22 nice
passing the banana gang and leaving them in the dust
suckers. And now they're gaming on BBS
films. Looks like the zoners are seeing
if that cave is going to give them some kind of headway the.
Headword's a cave, no? You've already.
Changed that. It's wild that is not where the
end is. I know, yeah, maybe if we're in
the back we would need a special item, but I feel like we should
keep our lead. Yeah, I just want to keep
driving forward is what I want to do.
Is that just a driveline vehicle check?
Tip. Sick 02626 Let's go.
You pull away into this alley, heading towards a sharp right
turn. The hell yeah.
Hell yeah, brother. That's nice.
I can't even see him behind us anymore.
Oh yeah. Let me shoot something.
We're making some serious headway.
It's a suspicious amount of lead we have.
I mean, hold on now when you say it like that now I'm kind of
nervous. I was feeling really good up
until just. Now, I mean, we have two
excellent drivers, so that's really why we're doing really
well. Behind you teen C in the
distance you can see the banana gang gaining upon you as they
don't go in The Cave, but the zoners disappear into The Cave
to the north. They're.
Gaining on us? It's your turn, teen C What do
you do? Is there?
That's a lot of squares. They could easily avoid anything
I threw out the back of this thing.
Huh. Can I hold a shot?
Yeah. Shoot their driver, should they
get close enough. Yeah, So like I'm holding
basically if they try to make a manoeuvre where like they are
looking like they're going to try and ram us or something, I'm
going to pop the one of the drivers.
Pop them. They they are if you hit nicely,
you can hit them from here. Oh, I can hit now.
Then I'll do that 35 feet in terms of are you going to use
the turret or the pistol? Oh right, we have turrets.
You got the metal cage launcher, literal things.
We have the got the junk launcher.
The cage thing that releases is that what releases the ramble of
explosives If you put explosives in it, which you did not pick
up. We did not pick up explosives.
A Jerry can in it. I will do the talking.
Yeah, you could. I'm going to fire junk at them.
I'm going to fire the junk for it.
Cool. Are you?
What are you firing at them, George?
I look at our junk pile and I find combat Boot nice.
Steel toed boot. Those things hurt.
Yeah, what do I roll for this since I don't have the standard
roller shoulder arms? If you want to use heavy weapons
you can, or you can blag something else.
So I can roll my shotgun? Yeah, Alright, 13.
Yep, surprisingly that hits and you watch the boot smash through
their windscreen and pass through them all.
You don't roll very high so you don't have anybody in the thing.
You smash up the windscreen and the vehicle takes about 5
damage. That is right, shotguns are
right. Fr 1 yes.
Yeah. Yeah.
So you get to shoot once that. Was the banana gang we just hit.
Yeah. Good.
Good shot. It is finally you finally found
your position in the back of the punk, not while you're holding
this mini gun. And yeah, he's got, he's doing
like the Captain Morgan stance where he's got like one leg,
like on one of like the back of it and he just got the mini gun
like shouldered up to him. He's going to shoot the mini
gun. Hell yeah, Shoulder locked.
At these banana fucks. Oh yeah.
Yeah. 14 Holy moly. Yes, that does hit 44-D6 damage.
Posts up and just hear the the spit starting to wind up with
the mini gun and then you just hear a salvo of just rounds fire
out the back. Do we get to move a little one
square? Because inertia, I'm sorry,
shooting the mini gun out the back?
Of the vehicle. You are fighting, so yes, you do
I'm. Going to get you.
Let's go. Newton would be so proud.
You feel a little jerk as the mini gun pops off.
Push the shoe forward. Everybody starts shooting out
the back. Yes, it's a dangerous president.
There are people. Behind the drivers, yeah.
Oh. The Banana Gang roll the crit
and make some headway right behind Phoebe's villains.
They're really not letting anybody slip.
I'm going to kill them. It's still anybody's race.
Roll, drive, land vehicle, whoever wants to take control.
All right. Ched.
Here we go. Fuck those Bunny and the boys.
Unfortunately you lose headway and zoners.
How are you doing Zoners? What's going on baby O20?
Nice. The zoners use Nos and blast
past you to the corner as they make a manoeuvre to take their
corner which will be their their next check.
As they do this, they try and shoot at you, folding an eight
hits for 2D6 damage. It's a piece of junk comes
hurtling towards the vehicle. The vehicle takes 11 damage.
An. Eight hits US.
Sorry, no, I rolled an 8 roll on the dice with their skills in.
Oh, my mistake. My was like wow, like good.
Good questioning, though. Excellent.
Yeah, very good. This however is lower than your
armour which you installed. So because you didn't have two
armour it actually does still go through, but it's mitigated by
far so you only get 5 damage. Let's go.
Good armour. But it is, it is armour
piercing. So your armour's down to 11 now.
Got it. We got so much light on this
vehicle though. As unfortunately you did fail
that check, you get rammed from behind.
Don't tempt me with a good time. Oh no you don't.
They fail miserably and careen to the north, almost smashing
into some rocks and causing a bit of damage, losing 1 armor to
their vehicle. Looks like they slipped on a
banana peel cause 'cause they're a bit, don't worry about it.
Night City. If you look at a map of North
America, somewhere on the western edge, you'd see an inky
black dot with fingers pressing into the side of the continent.
That's where you find Night City.
And somewhere in the middle of that inky black dot is a giant
smoking hole, like the universe itself drew iron and shot
straight through the city. Radiation turned the sky red.
But our story starts a little further South, in a dive bar.
The Shortstop. Welcome to Night City and
welcome to Cyberpunk Edge of Extinction.
Infinite Sided Dice presents Cyberpunk Edge of Extinction, a
Cyberpunk Red actual play. Watch now at youtube.com slash
at Infinite Sided Dice. Catch you later, chums
Declan, it's your turn. Oh man, well, I had it something
I was going to do, but now we're in the back.
So there's a junk the junk gun. You shot the junk gun TC, right.
And then there's a what's what's the other gun, The other turret?
That's not the mini gun. There's a third.
The barbed wire ball. That you can, if you'd like,
throw a a canister of of. Fuel in them, fuel in.
Them OK, OK. Do I see any fans like up on the
hillside to our right? Yeah, they're all on the top of
the Ridge. They're all on the like
cheerings. Yeah.
And they're are they fans of ours?
I can tell they're. Cheering, they're just.
Cheering. They're they're fans of the
junk. You can't tell from where you
are. They're really high up, but
they're people. Might be fans of ours.
Maybe. I'm going to try to convince
them to to, you know, interrupt this, the guys that are in front
of us and like, you know, shoot at them.
Oh, fun. Yeah.
All right.
Yeah, and be like, what's her name again?
For the VB villains. Take them down.
Don't get too. Far ahead.
I'll say and I'll be yelling and pointing up top.
OK, roll this way then. Or acting a.
Little acting role here. Do it for VV. 19 Yes, their
skill check to make this corner is now -2.
Nice. Because they got to weave.
People throwing their. Garbage.
Yeah, people throwing rocks at. Them they're throwing rocks,
they're throwing they they liked what Teensy did.
Someone throws their shoe. Yeah.
Docs get on the beach. And Jabba diets go to.
Well, I think there's only one thing that we really can do, and
that is we're going to have to drift around this corner.
Drift it, Jeb. Hold on.
Hell yeah, hold on to something and pray.
Hold on to some. As Declan gets to to rally on
the people on top of the Cliff, you jump into his seat on the
vehicle and fortunately your foot slips and you go way too
wide, smacking the Hucknor into a giant rock, and it takes, oh,
Audi 3 damage. That's not a lot, yeah.
But but the damage tonight. My my.
Personal damage is huge. My pride.
Your pride. Coyote.
This is -2. Your vehicle.
And Jeb takes his hands off steering wheel.
No, hold the steering. Wheel.
There are two of them there. The cylinders are doing really
well rolling at 19 even with the -2 they make the corner and
speed off their head. Wow.
But Coyote at 2:10. Got a coyote?
All right, well, yeah, we need to get through this way to keep
keep driving. So I guess pull ahead.
Is the manoeuvre name correct? Not trying to ram into the rock.
Oh yeah, Don't have to rub it in 19. 19 Yes, that is enough.
You pull ahead, parallel to the zoners.
The one you shook hand with waves at you, smiles and Wicks
I. Smile when I wing back.
Hello. But you rolled high enough that
you see in the distance you, you're, you see some of the
light cast across your left hand side and there's a little hole
in the Cliff side just there to the South.
And if you were able to do some really short manoeuvres, I mean
turning the poker notes sideways, you could skip a
decent amount of this leg of the race.
It's. Just like a Mario Kart.
The shortcut. I already took my turn, I can't
do it now. Oh, you can.
We should all try what I was saying earlier and lean on one
side. That's a great idea.
We hit Revving in the distance, and behind you the banana gang
starts to gain upon you. Teensy, it's your turn.
Whoa. All right.
They're gaining. Huh?
Is it? It's not.
It's not narrowed anymore. They're they're closer than they
were the last time you shot at them.
OK, I'll, I'll just, I'll shoot the junk again.
Why not? Hit hit it.
Wait. Freight 20.
What piece of junk do you throw at them?
I look around at the collected junk and I see a broken toaster.
Cool. This is your last piece of junk.
Any other piece of junk you want to fire costs one HP from the
punk noise help itself off the chassis, causing 19 damage.
You have laid their armor by one huge piece of metal flies off
behind them and sticks into the sand, causing a billowing of
dust as they barely hold on. Yeah, their vehicle is is worse
for wear. Side note, they rolled really
badly during the Salvatore phase, so you're doing very well
all right. Who's next?
Saw just going to see this and he's going to he's going to like
motion to the banana people and also like motion to the people
next to us and look at everyone like which one?
I mean any any dead banana is a good banana.
Sounds good. Wait.
Banana people. We got a gentleman to the other
guy. Banana it is.
He's going to shoot in the mini gun again, 15. 15 yes, that
hits. All your damage 1717.
Yes, you don't take it out entirely, but they do lose
power. Shawn takes the shot.
Oh. They're never going to win now.
They're going down and they're going to have to repair.
These armour pieces. It's fat.
Banana gang doing some on site repair.
That's a 19-O engines run in. They're going to be back in the
game real soon. Oh no.
Who wants to? Are you going to try and pit
through this cave? Oh yeah.
Who's going to do it? It's up to you, Coyote.
I clearly can't handle this. Up to me because.
One bad move, Jeb. Don't let it in your head.
There's plenty of race. Just just don't let it get
plenty of race. Don't let it get you down.
OK. Do it.
Everybody. We'll all help.
We'll all lean. Everybody lane, lane, lane.
We all lean, everyone roll AD 10.
Never mind as you go to do it, you all get thrown to the other
side of the vehicle and with the arm on the sides, you're sitting
in this scoop of the armor. He rolled a 29 so you'd have to
roll a crit fail on AD 10 to lose this case.
You are fine. Scared me for a.
Second then me too. I thought you rolled test.
I rolled the throw out of there. Me too.
You have to roll the crit fail because you rolled the 29.
We're all good. It's OK, Eddie, what did you
roll? I'm not.
I rolled the. 4. Oh, you're fine.
Yeah, And you curve your way through this cake.
Hell yeah. Drop the.
Big. Metal ball.
What? You'd have to you'd have to do
that on your on your next turn. This is the manoeuvre.
So as you come around the corner, Declan, you rolled a
crit on that. So I'm going to let you put your
hand out and grab the bot that is sitting in the middle of the
cake. Hell yeah.
Big time. If there's one guy.
That I know. Who looks really cool?
Leaning out of. Cars.
And you hold it up above you. This the the bots on the on the
race are predetermined loot that is not random.
Yank it open as the punk, actually.
I don't yank it open, I grab it and then I hold it up and it
hits a slack tight nice. It explodes.
It explodes open and what lands in front of you is a tank of
nuts. And.
Oh yeah, up in the Nos. With some confetti and like the
the the the sound bite from from Halo if you turn on the skulls.
Yes, all right. The zoners roll.
Oh my God, you hear them cheer, and the crowd cheers as they do
something cool. Now Declan.
We think they're cheering for us, so I'm like, yeah.
Yeah. All right, Declan, you're
heading towards something called the Moor on one of these curves.
Coming up ahead is a giant pit that will definitely slow you
down and or hurt someone. Oh no.
It's a punchy pit. Oh, it's called the more.
OK, OK, OK. Wait, how far away is it?
Do I like? I kind of want to.
The first turn is about 200 feet.
No, it's 170 feet. And then the actual turns
themselves are about 90 feet apart.
OK. I think what would be cool is if
we like put some fire on the ground right before it, like I'm
like pouring some gasoline behind me, light it that way the
other guys, the guys behind us can't see what what's coming.
Yeah, that's great. You're just going to drop a drop
a thing and set it on fire? Yeah, yeah.
You'll just pour some gasoline out off the back as we're going
forward. Right.
It's great roll for. Hold on.
Wait. I got these tight eyed T-shirts.
We can soak them in gasoline. Yeah.
That'll be perfect. Ladder up.
Done. You make the most fucked up
Molotov cocktail that anyone has ever seen.
Smells. Like vinegar?
That's nice. Howdy, inspiration.
So there's a lot there's there's a lot of skills to look through.
I'm trying to find the good one here.
You can use shoulder arms if you want.
What is shoulder arms? I was just looking at that.
It's for shotguns, big weapons. Yeah, sure.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I got you right, Right, right,
right. Yeah, sure.
I'll use that. That's good.
That's that's great to. Me 16 Yeah, you set fire to the
ground. Nice.
Set fire to the ground. And then there's, like, I want
to learn to be like a line of fire right as it's following us.
Yeah. Yeah, there's fire.
Here now. Nice, nice, nice.
Perfect. There's a fiery fire.
There's fire here. Oh yeah.
Drive land vehicle.
From Oakley. Am I done?
What am? I done no drive land vehicle.
I get a drive land vehicle. Yes.
Oh my God, you guys were going to crash.
Hold on. I.
Believe in you, Dwayne. You still got a Jacqueline I?
Believe in you. There we go.
We're. Always staying high.
Here. Oh my God, That's a good role,
OK. You do our friendship right
there. Just.
Not set the. Vehicle guys.
Oh yeah, congratulations. It turns out I didn't.
Even think about that. You didn't need a revival in
your career, you needed friendship.
Friendship. You.
Needed a good. Support system.
Hey Declan, I always knew you had it in you, but check this
shit out. Oh. 25 You make it to the first
corner and you can see the mall before you to the West.
Hey you guys think if I punch the Nos button we could skirt
around this? This here ma hit.
Hit the Nos bro, let's skirt around.
The it's really just to get us to the turn, you know?
So we can. You want to.
Hit the Nos straight into the MA.
I'm ready to go out with you. Typically you shift into lower
gears during turns, but I like your energy, so the.
Idea being that we speed up until we get.
To. You know.
I don't. I don't know much about driving,
I just thought you were ready to go out.
I thought you were a driver. No, I, well, I mean I play a
driver in the movies. Oh, sure, sure.
I've seen you fat, so you can at least you can always bring that
into your real life. Maybe you could bring in the
driving too. But no need because we're
getting out of here real soon, real fast.
Maybe sooner rather than later. I'm punching the nose hit.
The nurse. Throw me another driving check
Beater 13 easy. Oh.
Yes, you feather the nurse and you don't use the charge with.
Your grip. There's just some in the tubes
from when you used it earlier, and you get to just the right
speed to make corner on the Moor.
As you pass by, you can see the wreckage of other punk notes
from the long gone past, stuck between the teeth like spikes of
this seemingly endless hole. In the ground.
Oh. Yeah, we, yeah, you know, good,
good thinking to use the almost empty Nos bottle because I think
we would have died, you guys. You hear the crowd in the
distance make the noise that someone has done something bad
and it's. Got hurt like that, it's.
Not us, right? No, it's not you.
We're. OK, we're OK.
We're good, we're good. And then you hear the
distinctive sound of Nos being used.
Tarquin. Here's us.
Rage is in another time zone. Play breaking, baby.
We're driving. Let's go.
Oh, I imploded. Oh no, that's not good.
Oh no, this is really not good 9. 9.
It's very bad. Instead of making this next
corner, the punk knock crashes into the wall of the Cliff and
you can hear the crowd above you make that same noise again.
Crazy to see 2 pop nods do exactly the same fucking thing.
That's where they're going, racing, land, spin.
Out this is the most efficient way.
And the vehicle loses I. Spun out 15 HP holes.
There's a piece of armour literally flies off and sticks
into a rock causing sparks on the ground.
This shit's got oversteer teensy.
What the fuck? Passing the buck.
Like a true racing driver, it's.
The car's fault? You hear some of the crowd start
chanting banana and then someone, someone screams.
The bananas are on fire and the zoners fall to 3rd place.
Oh wait, wait, they're on fire? When they said they're on fire,
is that? Like a oh.
Wow, those guys are doing great, but they're.
Like, Oh my. God, they're literally caught on
fire. Oh God.
They are behind you still teensy.
It's your turn. Yeah, but the no ones.
Can I try and fix something on the car You?
Can you can break the car? Yeah, to.
Fix something. I would love to fix the car.
The Nos tank that has been found has not been installed on the
vehicle. If you want them to be able to
use it, you have to install it while it's moving.
OK I'll do that. Is that another upgrade rule?
Yep, he did that team. Yay.
Let's now have two charges, Nos Yeah, so.
For the. Barb.
Wire. Is it a projectile or does it
roll on the ground? It rolls on the ground like a
banana or a Mario Kart. So it'll it'll just if there was
someone was directly behind you, you could like lob it directly
at that, but it kind of just sticks in the ground as an
obstacle. If they hit it, it's bad, Yeah.
So I was going to. As we are.
Stuck here on this rock, momentarily, he's going to hop
into the the Metal Cage launcher and he's going to aim it right
at that turn. Cool.
You're going to make the turn harder.
Yes. Nice. 15.
Yeah, nice. You put an obstacle at the turn
for the morph, which will make it harder for people to do
things here. They either have to take the
wide turn closer to the the the the moth or if they come, if
they try to skirt the wall, the the barbed wires there.
Yes, exactly. I'm going to put it one away
from the wall. Perfect.
Yep, exactly. Nice.
So there's this huge ball of barbed wire that as it flies out
like pops open, it's like spring loaded and then rolls on the
ground and then it starts to scrape across the ground as it.
Digs its teeth. In as a genuine obstacle for the
people behind you. That was a lot more metal than I
thought it was going to be. The screeching reminds you of
your first EP Oh. Fantastic. 16 That's not good
for them. You see the Banana gang Crest
around the corner of the mall behind you.
They they're close, they're they're going to make the turn
on their next turn. It's your turn to move the
vehicle. Who's driving?
Did you have a baby? OK, you had it, cowboy.
You know y'all, y'all putting a lot of trust in the media.
Driving checks to take these two turns.
Two driving checks. Whoa.
Here's the first one. 28 Nice. Here's the next one.
Is this where I mind you, You have an inspiration?
Good though. It is.
I start just getting in that second turn, you know, we start
to, I was going to say we start losing traction, but we
literally don't have. You lose thrust is what you're
looking for. OK.
Or you. Or you lock up.
Yeah, Smoke Jeba started to realize that since there is no,
there are no tires, there's no traction, that this whole thing
is very floaty. You know, that's why that's why
he messed up that other time and ran into the rock.
But now he's realizing that like, you're really, it's almost
more like driving a boat, you know?
And and so you kind of have to like anticipate the turn, start
turning much before the turn actually comes up so you can
actually get it right. And so as he's thinking that, he
takes that second turn, pulls the steering wheel to the left a
lot sooner than he thinks that he normally.
Would. If he was driving a car.
Nice, but even this. It's a little too tight.
He's pull, he pulls it a little too far and he's going right
into the side of that wall. But then he realizes, wait, you
just got to hit that. Last remaining.
Knots. You've got 2 charges left.
The last two. Remaining knots, so I'm going to
use that as my inspiration. Cool.
Use not to get almost all the way around the the Nuremberg
twist that we've got here at Widows Gulch, and you lose your
chasers as the Banana Gang and the Zoners disappear behind you.
Between the twists and turns of this Cliff racetrack in the
distance, you hear the revving of punknut engines and gunfire.
Oh, they do really well. The soldiers got lucky with that
turn and it looks like they're way on their way to catch it up
to the VV villains. Did we?
Do we have a rocket launcher? No.
No, we did not get one. That's too bad.
Damn do. That mini gun.
Yeah, we do have a, We do have. The mini gun, we also have
whatever guns you have. You also you could maybe like
throw some crazy shit into the trash launcher.
You could have a trash trap, that's right.
I was hoping to make an explosion of some sort.
Do we still have a Jerry can? You have one more Jerry can of
fuel. Oh, OK, yeah.
So I'm going to Jerry can into the junk launcher.
I'm going to launch it straight up into the Cliff side, right?
That's like north of us, right? To try to like create a rubble.
Fall. Nice.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Love it.
Yeah, yeah, Hold on. I'm going to use.
Oh, what was the what was the turret skill again?
That was shoulder arms, shoulder arms, which is right here. 22
Yeah, you caused three huge boulders to fall, making this
turn a lot harder for your other race fellows to catch you.
Perfect. The crowd starts to cheer on top
of the Cliff above you all. Right, looks like we just have
the straight away in the jump jump.
Got a hair it's a hairpin, but it's.
A hairpin. Yeah, a hairpin in the jump.
It's going to be crazy. Let's go, Jeb.
Let's. Go.
Well, we've nosh before. Let's nosh again.
Jeb, you are fully aware that there is a jump coming up ahead.
Say that. But isn't that what I?
Guess no. Make the turn.
There is a there is a jump coming up ahead you.
Know this because you have jumped it already.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, the idea was to use the Nos
for the jump, let's be clear. Yes.
So it's. It's coming up.
We got it, but we still have to make this turn.
Got it. Yeah, make that turn first. 23
Yes, good enough. You make it around the hairpin
corner, gaining A sizeable lead in this race, and in front of
you is a huge hole in the ground, and on the right is a
huge rock that has been carved into the shape of a skull.
In front of you is Widow's Gulch.
If you don't want to jump this, there is a cave to the right
called the Chicken Root. Why would we not jump it?
Dude I will jump off of this. Car.
Of this. Does somebody else want to?
Press the red button. It's not your turn yet.
You've only just made the corner.
You have to wait. I say to the rest of the group
so that they can press the Nos button.
You hear the zoners behind you? Oh no.
If a distinct were of their engine, they have really gained
because they've rolled 23 on a driving turn.
Whatever. Coyote.
Yeah, Jim just just rolled 23, so.
Hit the big red button. Right.
It's, it's my turn. I'm gonna hit that big red
button. We're hitting the Nos, baby.
Let's go. There's the regular.
Nos button and then there's the the Nos button that has a little
glass casing on the top. They have to press open, then
press the red button. Exactly.
Who's who's the person who's
pulling the joystick the other way in order to cause it to
Bunny hop over this? Yeah, remember the Bunny hop
technique? It is a 40 foot gap.
Oh boy. I got a 23.
Bing bang boom baby. 23 Your vehicle blasts towards this open
chasm in the ground as you pull your joystick to the right.
Who pulls the joystick to the left?
I'll. Pull it to the right.
And you swear the skull below you, as you float over this gap,
smiles a little bit. What are those dude brothers
going to be up to next week? And you crash down onto the
other side. The bottom of the punk knot
scrapes across the compacted sand and you feel the vehicle
because you didn't like all the Crick.
Lose a little bit of its HP, but it's still fine.
There's a bit of armour, you lose a little bit of health, but
you make it over Widow's Gulch and the crowd on the cliffs
above you goes fucking nuts, Screams.
And they're screaming for you. Yeah.
That's. Nice driving.
There's a there's a particular group that's going kayo.
Kayo yeah, that's. My.
Best I. Have friends.
I have friends. You vaguely hear the banana gang
trying to catch up, but they're real far behind at this point.
Teensy. Behind you, you see the Zoners
who are trying to gear up to do their jump.
What? Are they down?
Teensy take take the jock strap, OK?
You know what to do. The jock strap, because it is
light, has extra range. Yeah, firing this jock strap at
them as they try and make their jump.
Nice. Do it.
Is that still my shotgun? Yes. 19 Hell yeah dog.
So the jock strap flies over with those golf back towards
their vehicle, sticks to the front of their vehicle.
Splat. And you see them swerve and
crash into the side of the Cliff as the crowd above them makes
that noise when someone gets hurt during a sporting event.
Oh, yeah, that was it. So this has given you a better
chance to shoot them if you want to.
They are far behind if I want to.
What? What?
Oh, it's source time now. So he's now you've caused them
to fall to the side with a jump cannon and now they're kind of a
still target. So if he wants to shoot them
with a mini gun, he can. But.
Absolutely. All right, Gentleman's agreement
out the window if I can. You shouted.
You shouted with the Jack. Strap can you?
Oh. Go to fire and the gun jams, the
barrel spins and it cuts a piece of the flesh in your leg and you
lose. Oh shit.
That hard. Yeah.
The, the, the belt, the the belt that the, the bullets are held
in. Yeah.
Cut me. Cut my thigh up a thigh.
Yeah. Oh, it's please.
It's OK, because now we've kept our gentleman's agreement.
Just pretend you didn't mean to do that.
I. Thought they were the banana
boys. I fucked up, I got my legs
fucked up. Big old meat guys.
Take a water break, take a drink, hydrate, hydrate.
You're doing good grab. One of them water bottles back
there. You hear a punk note in the
distance hit fallen boulders, and a bunch of people in the
distance scream. Your trap has been sprung so.
Joy in my heart. All right, home stretch, single
tear. If you roll well enough, you win
the junk run. You're telling me it all comes
down to this? If you roll over 20, you will
pass that finish line. Easy, you're base 21 you.
Literally. Don't.
And your hunk nut slides over the finish line and as it comes
to a stop it putters and runs out of dance.
Oh yeah. Rock'n'roll baby, we won, we
won. I've joined off the junk one.
US. These these fellas and.
These. Fellas and the winner of
$25,000. Also us, I believe.
I I jump off of the punk knot and I take off my tie dye shirt
and I do a soccer knee slide. Across the ground on the.
Sand roaming an athletics check 'cause it's sand.
Sure. Yeah, that's fine course.
Of nothing. It's everywhere.
Where is my one SEC? Oh, OK, where?
Is my Cristiano Ronaldo slide skill?
12. Yeah, that's fine.
You do not hurt yourself. You do dirt dirty up your knees,
but you're fine. That's fine.
Does it look cool? It looks cool, all right?
Everyone's cheering for you, that's all.
Yeah, yeah. The rest of the evening passes
by with Celebration Rave telling you that the West Wind Pack is
no longer in debt because they bet on you and you all walk away
with the knowledge that you were the winner of the Junk Run 2049
and 5000 days. Oh, and the Banana Gang, you
know, in turn up at the end they had to split.
Oh. Hey, Norman.
Norman, just real quick, between
you and me, was it one of them banana boys that broke your leg?
It wasn't an accident like I thought from the very beginning,
no. No, it was one of the.
Banana boys. They hired.
Just had to make sure I wasn't
getting any false information. Really feel your figure.
I probably should have asked you immediately, but I kept calling
you. Went straight to voicemail every
time. Yeah.
Jeff, you can stop calling me now.
I am on a lot of drugs. I would like to rap.
He hangs up. I was going to say that we also
won the OK, well, friends, I really feel like we, we came
together and we, we did what we set out to do, unfortunately.
I. Kind of already have a crew that
I run with on a semi weekly basis.
Oh, that, that's OK, yeah. No, I'm not.
Really into like this. This is.
Kind of a one this is kind. Of A1 bot.
Thing you can. Come to girls night, I guess.
But yeah. Well, I'm we're really part time
edge runners. We don't really do this.
