Last time on no latency sidequest.
Looks like my arisaka Prime came in.
Yes sews mine. So I what time are y'all going

anything now. Why did we receive a message?
If there's no one here? Those are boxes, could still be
here? I hear there's somebody here.
I can hear him the fucking drones.
Shut the fuck up. I'm Klaus, truffaut back.
You're really bad at this as slow and methodical as possible.

Oh no, no, no. Not you.
I'm sorry, please forgive me. Please forgive me retro.
Just gonna have though, GIF of just like big rolling eyes, or
What do you think we should do about it?
What is all this? Been spinning for.
Sure, you bring the drinks for us.
Thank you, welcome. Thank you boy.
Do I love Margaritas? I love the little like crystals
on the side. Just don't know what they are,
but they taste so good. Oh yes.
This is probably. One of my favorite buttery
nipples I've ever had. Can I take a sip I can order
another one. I just down that one.
No, I think he wants your buttery nipple.
Yeah. Wait, what did you know?
You can get normal drinks, right?
Like just Mezcal. It's real simple.
It's good. You can do that.
You know, that, that was awesome for you.
Okay, I'm gonna be honest with you.
I like drinks that have flavor because I enjoy life.
Do you want to go ahead and pull that?
Cool, drink and Macho stuff because that's what's in phrase.
Go ahead, IMA stand here and enjoy my life having myself.
Well, you know what? In fact, Fact, let me get bing
bing. Can I get one of them super
fancy drinks? With that with the umbrella and
stuff and extra fruit. Please, I definitely needed to
do it because I might be getting scurvy soon.
Thank you at. Trinity, wanted me on glass.
Can I please? I haven't used them.
You can have the first one. I'm gonna go get it.
Yay! Ping goes downstairs to go and
get this special glass and you hear someone stamping up the
stairs retro. Did you hear did you hear?
Did you hear about the pink yet? You here?
Yeah I did. I did I did I heard I heard
that's sweet. That's sweet death.
Sweet Death. Sweet.
I know. I know, that's bleep.
That's bleep. That's bleep.
That's gonna be so cool.
Yeah. Did you not also hear what
they're offering us? The prize.
No, they're going to say who Who bombed arisaka Tower.
Wait. These people are new you retro.
I think that's bad. Oh yeah, that's bad.
But you know what? They already want to kill them
so we're already in good. Yeah they slightly inconvenience
me so dead but no one knows who's on the list.
List. Yeah, that's sweet.
The thing he does. Every year.
Well you're going to have to be a little bit more.
You guys don't know about that, sweet?
I hear three different things, three different things called
deaths. We've like a week.
You know how many people try and use that as a band name.
I was I know that bad, huh? No, no, this is this is that
like chaotic guy? That every like, every every
lie, every now and again, he tell a picks different seasons,
this time. He's doing Christmas my in and
they, he knows a bunch of secrets about These words
something that he challenges them to like this big convoluted
puzzling thing. And then, if you, if you fail at
it, you die. But if you don't, you get the
information. Yeah, it's like a media that
Runner guy that he's an asshole that makes more sense.
And looted and he's got this weird smile and and this year
he's wearing a center. Hey and and like, man, I wanted
to be on his list so much. What's your secret?
Hello now, damn it. Hey, what's up?
That's not a come on. I'm coming down from Kitten
couch, right now, I like your ears.
Do you have any ears? There is no, no, no.
No. The cat ears on your head.
Oh, those are real that's in my head, isn't it?
No, but he's a retro. I'm gonna go lie down because I
am hot as fuck. No, I did not hear the bad bit
about it. If the news, the people who
caused the big thing at arisaka, holy shit, they're in a lot of
fuck. I'll see you later because down
the stairs, pink comes back upstairs with the blossoms.
Let's make him drink thanks for. So, um, before we continue on to
Certain things I just want to clarify retro.
I go for Mezcal because it's simple and I don't make the
bartender do things. When there are a lot of people
in the bar. That's it.
Oh no, it's fine. I don't mind.
Do you want something fancy? I mean ping puts down this
fantastic ring for the sparkler in it.
Electric zapping was so you are a gift.
I bought some cyber where it's it.
I basically just switch off and I had to do it.
Oh, that's pretty cool. I never thought about having a
complicated drink before you have to.
Give me a second. Okay, just give her one of
those, you know where I am. Give him one of those.
Oh, you make another? I've only got one.
All right, it can just be an awesome bus but things already
gone down the stairs. Okay, well what's the plan crew?
What do you do? We need to get on the list but
how we gonna find out who's on the list and our with there's a
way for us to get on it. Well does there look like
there's any media types in here that I would know that I could
possibly ask? But your agent is connected to
the network node in here and you could do some searches and
stuff. Do you open up your agent?
You open up your agent and you you recognize that the
connection is unusually strong. All right.
For being underground. Yeah.
Retro you've heard of these types of things before.
What kind of figures are usually in it?
Well typically it's going to be a real good mixture of like
solos tax. You might have a meditech in
there as, you know, being paid off by one of the solos to keep
them going, definitely God. If we find a Steven there,
Probably. This is also a popular
Netrunner. We might find some net runners
in there. I can, I can met run.
You can of course you can. Net run.
I can find the list. Maybe can you let me what?
Yeah, there's a really strong connection to be down here if it
makes it easier for you. Yeah, yeah.
Let's do it gang. Did you say Steve's?
Yeah. What is that?
Roll local expert. All of us.
Whoever wants to know, what Steve's are I do you think you
already know you said a what, who local expert, local expert?
Sorry. You can also roll that to
discover more about sweet if you want.
So you learn a little bit more about sweep.
No one knows who's on the list, the list is pretty secret.
But people are told that they're on the list by getting a
message. So we would need to have you,
net run in and figure out. How to force them to send us a
message to add us on to the list.
Is that or is the what I'm getting?
Yeah, you better. If, you know, calcifer him maybe
just forge our names on the list, right?
Yeah, I couldn't do that. I can put them on.
I mean, if not, if you can at least figure out someone, we
could pay to get on the list. I can convince them.
It is my entire job. Convincing people.
Yeah. Well, tell us for want to give
it a shot. Okay.
Um, I plug in my interface plug-in, where question mark
into your agent, you're connected to the local network.
I'm looking into my age and and then I put on my virtual reality
goggles and I say it's running time baby roll interface.
All right submit More like net slowing baby.
So you end up at a node for something called sweet on the
internet. You got a quick fail and a
little spot goes off and you lose 1 HP, you come across a
password. Well interface.
Okay, 12. Yes enough.
The password was a DVD for you. Get into the next area.
And there are two rooms ahead of you.
You will have to probe to work out.
What is next? You can choose the left room or
the right room. I'm going to choose the right.
Right room roll interface 1111 you walk into this cyber room.
As part of the architecture are sitting in the room.
On top of a pile of virtual gold is a wisp and it attacks you for
10 damage. Roll interface.
Okay six you do not avoid the attack, you take for damage.
What do you do to attack? Can I activate My hell bot.
Sure. All right, I'm activating my
hell bot 11. You hit all to T6.
All Right, six causing six damage, your hellhound crushes,
the risk, and it disappears into a frame of pixel little pieces,
are on the ground. Is 100 Eddie's, and it's a dead
end. There's no further away.
Well, I got some buddies, what else?
Okay, I'm safely. About now there's one more room
to check by the way. Okay, I'm not safely.
Check it out everybody because I said there was a left room in
the right room you can go back and look at it.
I work backwards and then I turn it.
The left room, I go rolling to face death is always right, I
guess, right? 9?
Yes, you open it up and all that's in front of you.
Is the list and then you start hearing a laugh and you get
forced out of the network. Work and you fall back in your
chair and everyone looks at you. Okay, so I entered a room, the
list was there, and then I heard some laughter and I'm pretty
sure I was in the right place, but I'm not sure.
I'm not trying to try to go back in.
I don't know. You have a nosebleed.
Oh no, I am on the list. I looks like I made the list to
looks like whatever you did. You did it?
Well this turn from no no no to ho ho ho we're getting a retro.
What you're searching for? What Steve's are?
You have a look at the entry and you read about a gang that used
to be Rife across night City. A bunch of Fairly stupid Rocket,
Boys, all with gold skin but all looked Unbelievably alike.
Even the videos of them as annoying and they had a
high-pitched annoying voice like this, very irritating fucking
staves. And as you close the message,
you look again at your screen. Oh guys, we have I'm going to
fucking windows. I don't care if I have to kill
all of you. Wait, what does all I'm saying?
Is if this works. This is Juicy as fuck.
Oh, God never had the opportunity to get somebody
before they get you. And let's fuck.
No, never won. I don't know what that means.
The clam got me. That's all I know.
No, this is my. This is, my clamp is my fucking
client your enemy. If I had the chance to shuck
this clam hunger, Let's go shuck a clam man.
Evocation, so Chuck me. No, I'm gonna give this one more
shot. Oh yeah, absolutely shots for
everyone Pancakes. Yes, You got it.
Um, wow. Well ping is pouring out those
drinks. I'd like to walk up to thing so
hey ping her. Do you you saw about the sweep,
right? Yeah.
And you know what, he's on the list.
Yes yes, be cool. Looks like we just made the
list. Oh, what's the what's the prize
this year? I didn't see, we get to know the
bombers of arisaka building Wait, I try that sauce?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's a big secret.
I mean, also tell everyone about Domino and oh yeah, oh, that's
bad. So I'm on the list and they're
on the list, they don't know yet, but like, good time to take
care of this, you might want to let them know, just in case
right now, I'm on that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So, if you're on the list, then you'll have to find out where it
is this year, too. Yes.
Okay, so I'm going to take Vanna White.
Okay, when you know, I'd I got the coordinates, we better be
taken off then, but yeah, you know, beyond shotgun, I'm
getting. So I can everybody sucks sucks
to suck. So retro, as you're talking to
Ping, your tile goes off again, and you get another message is a
repeating set of binary code. All right.
Wish I can't decipher. I mean, I have prepared if you
want to roll to get to the value.
Sorry, I'm so used to you hiding your little.
If you run into it the hard way, you totally don't want to do it
the hard way. I do not want to do it the hard
way, who wrote I did. Oh, you roll a creek 24.
I'm going to tell you the truth about what I wrote on this and
you can choose to have whatever you want.
We go. So I wrote in my GM notes.
I've got for a DB 12, you can just No, the binary code and
work it out yourself. Hmm.
For DV 21 or above, you can know what it actually says.
Without cracking the code, what would you prefer?
Everyone's 21 what you decipher from the message is a ZIP code
in night. City.
Awesome. Well I I'm going to just
decipher those. It's the same thing.
What's the told you? So I'm just double checking for
sure. Sneaky is.
Okay, so I gotta zip code, y'all?
Oh yeah. Oh, so did I?
Until I just didn't know what it was.
It was just ones and zeroes. I assumed it was a glitch.
Yeah, I know. Is we got night City?
Southwest 33 P. So probably let me let me pull
out, you know, our GPS. This video is just for you but
row as the only version that seems to notice, is our how
prepared should we be? Do I need to go buy more
bullets? Do I need to make another three
mics and Rod? Are we trying to kill each
chromatid weapon? That's Hannah live up to.
Are we trying to kill each other again?
Sorry but my circle has been a little bit for it so I don't
know what this is for right now. We don't have to kill each
other, the rule like for way we can cut it.
Just all worked like we could kill each other if you want or
we can all just kind of work together and get it all the way
to the main boss and then see what happens from there.
So then if the main boss is like Like kill each other.
We kill the boss, like we could kill the boss and then share the
spoils. Like, we do as a clan or we can
also have somebody who stabbed Us in the back.
Hopefully, it doesn't do that. Did you just say clam or Clan?
Good? God.
Homeless a clam and just casual conversation.
Besides you calzacorto know. I might do something.
I felt something watching me. I don't know.
Everybody pings are shots to the table.
Hey guys, need to be prepared, gospel, you could always go to
clients. It's got weapons and stuff,
guys. The first and I take one of the
shots I do too, I poured into my helmet, but I miss my mouth
entirely. I also for the alcohol.
Feels cool. On your chest and it calms, you
down. It's good.
All right, we'll grab keys and for Vanna White, let's go and
I'm gonna have everybody. Follow me to our A ground
elevator where that a widest part.
I jump in them shotgun see before we'll get inside, Vanna,
White, and your head to climbs. Night City.
If you look at a map of North America, somewhere on the
western edge, you'd see an Inky black top 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, it's a giant smoking hole, like the universe
itself, Drew iron and shot straight through the city,
radiation turn 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, Chairman's.
Now retro you said it multiple times and I just want to be 100%
clear. Yeah this vehicle you have named
Vanna White correct. Okay.
Just making sure. Yeah.
Okay, yep. I heard what I heard is how
beautiful this van is almost to be the spitting image of aw.
Yeah. What's on the radio?
I put on the radio. Okay one of my role in here for
that Christmas music instantly talking stops playing.
Yeah my favorite Could be worse. Anyone watching song.
Wait what are you as a rocker? Boy, you can always find
something good on the radio. So the music and the music
plays, it's not far to Clyde's. Actually, it's only a few
blocks. And as you sort of all enjoy
this track at a doughnut. But on the radio you pull up
outside. Open the doors.
Look, the seven feet from the vehicle to the shop door and go
inside. Hello, everyone.
How's it going retro? It's nice to see you.

Merry Christmas gave a judge a nice guy.
Aw. Thanks.
I wish my wish my actual crew would say that to me every once
in a while we're not your actual Crow, I'm sad.
Well, you're my friends. They're just my crew.
I'm so glad that we're all friends in real life.
Now we're all choose here. Yes, I'm imagine.
You are, how did you guys meet Wade Ridge?
Embarrassed, want to say that again?
Have you ever played critically acclaimed multiple massively
multiplayer? Online game.
Insert name here? Yeah.
Best best. I'm here.
Yep. Yes.
That's that's the one that's not as popular as the other one.
I can't remember. Yeah, yeah, that's name here.
Yeah, with the dark woods. Yes.
The tentacle thing and all the Christmas stuff.
That's why it's not very popular.
Yeah, it's also free to play. So it's called Jingle hell's
because they refuse to remember it.
But, you know that. Yes.
No, that's bad. And so does anyone else want
anything? Love a gun?
You have you want a whole gun and Connie looking for one that
will shoot preferably? Right.
And one that has more than in its slot magazine.
All right. Well how about I tell you what I
mean about that? Ma'am.
I'm looking again and I've got a lot of guns that I like your
gun. So we would necessarily be an
upgrade. I do have some ammo, you might
be interested. You have Mo got some armor
piercing ammo, you shoot something it does to damage to
their Alma rather than one Do a little bit more damage.
How's that sound level to me? Yeah, great, no, no, that's
fine. I know a big stack of that is 85
guy get killed. That's 25 bullets.
There you go. Cool, beans.
Clive stress can I have some letters?
I need to write Christmas cards for my friends because I forgot.
And that's why. Yes, there's a vending machine
behind you. That has Christmas cartridge.
Thank you so much. I'll end up spending 70.
Eddie's on they come with postage by, we don't need any
holiday specials, holiday special.
Yeah yes I've got a flashbang grenade that I've got one other
one. This one instead of flashbang
it's glitter. Yeah.
How many of those you got just what?
Just the one. Just the one.
Yes, it looks like a Christmas bauble.
It's incredibly distracting. It doesn't blind anyone but it
makes everybody look that way. Yes!
Nice! You got that.
Stick them. Left over a sticker.
Sticky grenade. Let me one of those just just
just the regular stick, um, you know, that they put on clothes
for a better grip. Oh, yes.
Now, I've got some of that. Yeah, that stuff's like that
yet. He's got a name.
Tube. Yeah, let me get some of that
and let me get that good at grenade.
I had and I rolled I have one sticky grenade.
Just one I'll take that too but the Christmas grenade is a gift
so you can just have that. Thank you.
And the sticker sticker. Grenade is my last one and my
guy does have a lot left so unfortunate as to hundred you
know what Clive? I'm going to give you 250 just
because you've always been so great to us.
That's so nice. Look at that, it's a Christmas
miracle retro. Bunny clapping speaking of retro
spending money instead. So you bought me that Christmas
gift of the grenade. I'm just gonna fly past,
whatever fun camaraderie you have because it looks wonderful,
it does. But tell me, what's the best you
could do for me for? I don't know, an armored coat.
Oh, yes. Now we've got some of that.
Let me see. Like I have one shield and I
have two armored jackets for what it's not expensive but it's
got RGB. Yeah, so for that one, what's
the absolute best you could do for price for that?
And I'm lucky that the Cyber Shield, or The put, the jacket,
the jacket with the RGB. Oh right?
The jacket with the RGB. Yes, no one of those is 450 and
one of the RGB is 5. 100. 500. Yes.
Now, what if it's got 12 armor, that's very good.
What If instead of 500? It was 100.
Compelling game watching. What you've?
What you've put up against me now I would not say is a
persuasion roll, this is a Face-Off.
Okay wait, I have an idea. What if all right?
No I think this is a facedown. Cool plus reputation plus 1 D
10. Great.
This is a fun mechanic where your the more reputation you
have the more you can persuade people and it gives them a - to
their role. Yeah, christening.
So let's see cool plus after reward that crate that's pretty
good. Oh I create didn't see what the
role was just as soon as you said face down I was like okay
let me try and find a button for that.
What does that 22? It's a demand is very high.
It's not a correct but it's very, very high.
You rolled over 20. On a facedown, they rolled a
they rolled a three on their dice And rolled a respectable 13
spectable 34 shop owner. That's not bad.
Yeah. Now look at you with your video
Gaston trying to get a discount and you know full well I can't
give it to you for 100. Oh, no future but what if
absolutely but I like that, you low-balled me.
So I'll tell you what with that persuasion crit you got.
Just before I asked you to do a facedown. 24 plus one.
Holy ball sack. Yeah.
I'm going to say it's the one thing I'm too.
Can have it for half price. She's a very good deal.
Half price to 50. Is not bad.
All right, all right, all right, 250 is not bad.
It's still more than I have. Okay?
Yes. But, but do you know?
But I know it's a GM that Retros Rich As Fuck, so it's going to
be fine. Do you need money?
I don't because I have is I You know what I can do?
Also, this was supposed to be for children GM.
All right, fine. I'm just I'm just gonna all
right. All right.
Here's here's the extra 150. Eddie's 250.
That's two for 250 is what I have 100 left.
Yeah I'm covering I'm covering the rest.
I was not buying it outright. That's not very Christmassy.
Is it. Hey, who just gave you an extra
50 for Christmas? Your majesty.
I'm just giving you stick their retro.
Conversely go on, go on your little say you little shit.
Fine. Anyway, looks like you've got
all your shit. If you're on the list, they
wouldn't take long, somebody else finds out, you're you're
naughty things. Be in trouble for to.
Yeah, it would be bad if you found out some people's naughty
things. Yes, I'm so curious as to what
all of your sodas. I'm alright.
Red leaves, Clive's and heads
into the van. Does everyone follow?
Okay, as I run and try and get shotgun Clyde?
Do you know what the secret is? No.
Okay. Cave.
Right now I have to figure out. My secret is only 2%.
Yeah, we gotta figure itself and then we got to go roll the
driving test. Okay?
Let me channel my inner Jeb. I could have been where I've
seen. Yes.
As you head out to this wet, to this location head underneath an
overpass, down an Alleyway, and there's this weird clearing just
on the edge of the combat zone. And if you hadn't had the
address, you would have never come down here.
There's this big Square building in the middle of this open lot.
And there's a big parking space painted on the ground
haphazardly says Vanna White. Oh my God.
Private parking. Oh my God.
Uh yeah, VIP treatment fine. Everything's fine.
Nothing to go. Probably they know a lot.
How you get a text back then kill them.
Well, everybody better barking. The assigned spot.
We have to follow the instructions, just like the hand
washing, some new parking me some spot, but I'm gonna make a
perception to make sure that there ain't no Tom fuckery
around my spot. At real perception.
Yeah, you get out of the van. It's cool.
Clapton, you rolled a Crest 23 plus to your perception is wild.
And the thing that you do notice is a part being a Netrunner as
you can usually feel if you really listen where a computer
is and you feel like all the computers on the right door, And
as you look over to the right door, everyone you're looking at
these two doors and on the doors, it says on the right yet.
Runners should go this way. And on the left it says this is
where the fight is. So you've been given a choice.
It looks like you have to split up for this to work.
All right, everybody. so, it does say, That Clapton should go
there but I don't have someone cover me.
Well, hear me out these people. Clearly have a lot of power and
we know a whole bunch of shit regardless.
So maybe following destructions might be the best because also
clamped in no offense. We weren't the best shot until
the very end. Yeah, you'd write.
None of the rest of us. Know how to do the weird.
Whoosh whoosh. That you know how to do this?
You're right. I agree.
If we do split up, it would probably be best if I go with
clamped in and just watch his body here outside of net space.
Hell yeah, I think I got something to help.
I'm gonna please ask for this back clamp him and I'm going to
disengage my half Shield. Oh you know give it to Clapton.
Thank you. So that's going to give you 50
extra HP. So like when you take if you
take damage in the real world that kind of thing, the shield
will take that for the damage, they're so sweet retro.
It does not protect you against La, a dolt.
Yeah. In any shape or form but I'm
also going to hand off my combat shovel just in case because
maybe that would hope your problems, okay, as your
brawling. Okay mine.
Yeah, maybe I don't know, I'm gonna hold onto my combat shovel
then. Yeah, it's not but I will give
you my smoke and sticky. Grenade.
Oh, thank you. I'm going to give you two lines
in my next song. I'm Gonna Give You All these
cards for Christmas. Don't read them and don't read
them yet, okay? It's not okay, I'm gonna put it
in my, I'm gonna put it in my backpack.
It's Something happens, then you can read it or we read it all
together. All right.
Are you okay? I guess use the biggest
question. What do you want to do?
So, the end of the day we can say what we think.
What you're your own person? What do you want to do?
Not run baby, then go. Net run, baby.
Whoops, it's at, this isn't this door.
Know, how did you get back to the cars?
The door, the door. The right, the door on the right
is the one that says that Runner should go here man boys.
All right let's let's so I'm not inspirational but let's let's
go. Yeah select row as you go up to
the door you notice a smaller sign that says doors must be
opened simultaneously. Fuck.
All right. 321 do yeah, I'm open the door.
You you to be ready to shoot just in case, right?
Who's going, who's going with Clapton?
Since we, I will go with Clapton bag.
And as we're as, we're splitting, splitting, I'll take
a half second to whisper to Adonia.
Figure out. Don't shoot.
And then I walk over to Clapton. Yeah, really quick.
I just pull you back. I'm like thinking about why he
thinks he's a ham. It's just, I pull out my heavy,
heavy pistol, and my melee weapon was one hand.
I'm like, I'm fucking ready, baby?
Three, two, one. Happy New Year.
Nope, too early. Okay, yippie kayak motherfucker.
So you open the doors retro and Adonia?
You step into a room. And there's a screen on the far
wall. And there are four markings on
the ground. The other side of the room,
there are a bunch of boxes, bunch of lockers.
There's a vending machine in here and a door with no lock or
anything. That seems that could be able to
interface with. It is a big sheet of metal
through the wall. Oh, and you're in this room on
the other side of a thick wall, to your right hand side of these
lockers is where cave and Clapton are Netrunner stepped
into the place where they were told to go cave and Clapton.
As you step into this room. There are two big guys standing
here and they look at you. Oh, you guys are the worst?
Yeah, yes. Okay, well this part of the
puzzle involves guns. You guys.
Initiative. Yeah girl fuck psyched out.
Retro anhedonia please also roll initiative.
Okay this part requires guns. I've got two baby, a baby right?
I don't hear you at the bottom of initiative.
This means you are now staring at the vending machine trying to
work out what to get. I will let you know what is in
the vending machine comes to your turn retro.
You actually rolled highest on initiative and you stare at the
screen for a moment and as just Staring at the screen, some
lines appear, the first word is riddle and the second line says,
one was yellow. While you're staring at this.
On the other side of the wall, with these two guards standing
in front of them, is Clapton and Cave cave.
Yeah. So with bass and treble still
out from. When we came in the door, I'm
going to basically, just to make sure they can't hit through.
Drop a grenade or a flamethrower on either of us.
I'm just I'm gonna combat roll over this way.
And then blast a shot with each bass and treble at this guy, the
guy on the left, the guy on the left.
Yes, right because they can't see face your left Weapon.
It's beautifully, the guy gets hit right in the haunch, on his
left side and he reels back as the bullet drives Force into his
body, taking a step back and pushing against the desk chair
and computer behind him. Your other bullet misses
entirely But it's not a crit - fail, so it just sticks into the
concrete wall and you're now standing next to a vending
machine and a bunch of boxes, imagine what happens if I hit
both shots, you should give up Robert suasion.
Okay. 21 Jesus, you you see him? You see his left hand shake we
go. Yeah.
No. That's, let's get that hurt.
That was that was that was, that was painful.
I liked not that, that was rubbish.
You could give up forever. Sure you absolutely could give
up. We're gonna - to an extra bowl
but this sucks. Okay, fair enough plantain is,
you can make your choices, okay? Can I use my bonus action to try
and because I can tell that he's nervous done.
Can I try and jump on top of him?
Yes. Okay, cool.
It would that be an Athletics? Yes.
Okay, cool. Okay, that's gonna be my bonus.
Action will see you. This works.
Okay, no nine. Well, here's the thing because
it's a melee attack. He has to roll evasion.
Okay, so if he rolls a fail and there's a good chance that you
can do this. Nope, there's no it didn't
happen though, because he brought a 15 on evasion, you go
to grab him, you walk forward, he Dodges just enough.
He has, he has six more points in this fight than you do.
Right now, that means that you step forward, smash your head
against the desk lose 18, P it's really embarrassing.
Oh no guys. I'm still shooting stuff though.
Okay so I'm right there I'm gonna I'm gonna shoot my weapon
out of which is a rate of fire of two.
Do I hit 14 and 9, your first shot hits.
The second shot, you're so nervous.
It misses and sticks into the wall.
On the other side of the room it does five damage to this guy a
little bit less because of his armor and he takes a step back
from you avoiding you and you'll grab.
Huh. I'm gonna drag it.
Your second bullet is missed and you've run out of actions.
You're now standing in the corner of this room and it is
That guy's turn really funny guard, pulls out his very heavy
pistol and shoots, you hitting you in the shoulder for for your
armor mark - 14 damage and your Armor gets a bladed by one.
Okay, I see how that works, huh? Okay.
It's pretty cool system. It is pretty cool.
Okay, I got it and that's why Alex your bullets that you've
got that do armor a Blasian they would take to away from someone
summer in this case. Nice do you can Whittle them
down and kill it. I love killing people cooker.
Yeah. Right now a heavy pistol only
has a rate of fire of one so that's a lot of damage.
And he he attempts to move towards the door.
He goes over to the door, pushes it and realizes that it's
locked. Shit.
That's fucked us to. I'm not on the list.
Neither bodyguard. It's his turn.
No, I'm not on the list either, but I do have a gun.
He pulls out a shotgun and shoots you 11 missing trap know
from his shotgun blasts across the wall and bits of the The
concrete wall fall around you you know there's not a lot of
cover here, this might be bad. I don't, I am on the other side
of the wall staring at this painting machine, and there's
some food in there. There's a grenade as a sticky
grenade. 175, it's pretty good deal.
Actually 25 Eddie's off as pretty cool as your favorite
canned. Ink in there and there's the
drink that you saw in the ad in the message.
You got earlier as well some boost it's a narcotic for sure,
but it would give you a bonus and it's cheap tickets 4840
Eddie's and get a can of boost nice.
And then I was going to turn out to be like.
So this is like a waiting room. I don't know what, why are you
looking at? Also, look what I got.
Oh, shit is up. Boost Drugs right now to round
up for, it's a good even number. What are you looking at?
Yeah, I'm gonna give me a boost. All right, primary effect lasts
24 hours for the duration of the primary effect.
The uses intelligence increases by two points.
This can raise your intelligence above eight secondary effect.
So, if the role of DB 17 on this, it's a bad drug.
The user wasn't already addicted to boost.
They are. Now, while addicted, their Since
is lowered by two points, that won't happen till after the
first do you can go to a med tech to get rid of that.
But you that doesn't count as your drugs that was to resist
drinking it. No.
Yeah, I was Sameer is, is drinking.
So, you know, - oh, yes. And you have to be a DV 17.
Otherwise, you're addicted to boost.
Are you also drinking the Boost? Yeah, I'm drinking the booze
fight. If you have to resist torture
drugs, work on that. So that's what's your luck now?
Net for this. Now, you guys have a drug
problems. I should not reveal my hand like
that. I'm terrible at poker.
Sure. Do you want?
No, I'm no luck. Then, I refuse to use my luck.
All right. Now, you'll now mildly addicted
to boost It won't matter. The effect of this drug will now
affect you for the rest of this run.
It does cost. You $40.
Yeah. What's the word?
As I get from booster, that's fine.
So a dodea it's delicious. This is called the TV 17 on
resist, touch drugs and you are not addicted to boost for.
You, get all the benefits for the neck, for the rest of this
adventure. You get plus 2 or 2
intelligence. Wow!
This tastes like mango. I love it.
It's sake for me. That's thanks.
Did you shake it first? No, I didn't know.
You had to shake it. Well, I didn't either I just
shake everything and we cut back over to the fight that's
happening on the other side. Yeah.
So the the guy that went over to the door that we've that we've
shot a little bit already. I'm gonna I'm gonna pull up bass
and treble and while running towards him I'm going to shoot
I'm gonna shoot once each with bass and treble.
And then running towards him, as I get up to him, I want to just
kind of shoulder. Check him into the wall with my
bonus action. Oh nice.
Yeah, Rowlett latex, as well as your gun.
Yeah, I'll do the guns first. Okay, both of your shots, hit
with a 21 and 19, lovely, and done Athletics, for the, for the
shoulder. Check, Yes, 14.
Nice 14, they meet and because they meet they lose because the
attacker wins. Ends in a meet, you smack this
guy against the door and blow two bullets into him, and he
drops like a sack of shit that guy's dead, you're cornered him,
you knocked him out and then while he was out blew his
fucking brains out and that guy's blood spatters, all up the
wall That's business. And I look over to the next guy.
Wow. That was so fucking gnarly.
Nice. Think this guy's interested in
taking you on a date, though. Dude, mommy said it's your turn.
Is the Hue. Okay, I'm gonna try, he's very
attractive. I'm gonna try and jump on the
mechanics. I mean claps try to beat you up
but you're close enough. You can hear each other.
If you want to, you can totally. You've got like short-range
communication guys. This drink tastes like mango.
What what are you talking about? Okay, Athletics likes, that's a.
That's actually not bad. So they get 16.
He avoids your your hit this time.
The difference isn't that bad? You actually don't manage to hit
your head on the table feeling. It's a victory.
Pull out your weapons and I shoot gotta shoot baby 15 and
14. You hit with both shots, hit him
Square in the neck. Blood starts to pour out
everywhere. Bit of it, gets in your eye,
this guy starts. I need eyes on the ground and is
Santa hat falls off and gets covered in blood combat.
I where the sender had on top of the clam helmet.
Cool. Yeah.
Now, put a Santa hat in your mentoring did the other guy have
a Santa hat as well? Or was it just that way?
Yes, it is also covered in blood.
I take the second bloody Santa hat and put it onto.
Can you tell us covered in blood?
If it's already a red Santa hat, there's white board.
It's got blood on it. Okay, the fight has finished and
the screen flashes once more Trent there in front of you you
can see the full riddle one was yellow.
One was like for almost frankly no sense.
So any you any you raised around people that still prayed to
different Catholic saints? No.
All right. Then tis the season.
Those are all the gifts for baby Jesus.
One, gold frankincense and myrrh.
That was pretty good. I see what the hell was
frankincense. It's not.
It's a spice. It's a, frankly have no idea
what one can have. The fangs has why he hot summer
fur? Well, yeah, three wise men.
I guess the answer is a four-letter, word gift.
You're able to change the letters on the ground using your
feet by scrolling them gift baby retro.
Yeah. Ji-hye.
Yes, T gift. And as you change the letters on
the ground, they turn green. And the door opens they
satisfying history. Wow, that was actually
extremely. Satisfying.
I actually feel a little calmer after hearing that and the Next
Room, awaits you here on the death.
Sweet next time on no latency cyclist.
I'm yeah, I'm just very shaken. So I'm just going to Shaklee put
another joint in my mouth and light it.
Here's the thing. Only one of these is a new thing
to me. So the dark room is more scary.
I can't really talk about it. I say, we stealth him first.
We could also try and play the game of yelling to him.
That we know he's there. Are you doing synth Coke over
there? This time, I'm gonna go on the
left or I learned my lesson. Also, I really fucking hate you
for the record gasps gasps gasps Wirt sand sand is released.
I don't know. Can you do anything about that?
Wow, I feel almost like not a clam.
It's not the first time I've had to kill Santa.
