Last time on no latency. Why don't you show me where
Pinky's AT and we can have a discussion?
That's what I assume the red barrel means.
It must be explosive. Guys, I think Jeb is going
rogue. Guys, I found a bitch that's
stupid away. Jeb's gone dark.
High colored as part of the Herald.
So much for your plan, Retro. Of the four Horsemen.
Of course there will be a bullet in your head, ma'am, but.
Otherwise known as the 4H. You can't help.
That it's the plushy guy. The plushy guy.
Don't say any stupid shit or I swear to God.
Here we go. Crit sanitization.
Thank. God, I'm Pestilence.
Anyone else want to say some stupid shit?
Retro say when? It sounds as if death has
unleashed the last seal. Well furnished.
Oh shit. That's not good initiatives or
any of us. -1 negative. One for Iona.
What the fuck? Wow, wow.
Good initiative. This This is bad, bad
initiative. Very bad.
All right, so the, the goal here is, of course, to murder
everyone who dared touch Vanna White, right?
That's that. We, we, we're all in agreement
there. Yeah, I I don't think we have
much of A choice. They look like they're ready to
fight. They're looking pretty, pretty
angry. Pretty angry.
Good. Jed.
Yep. All right.
Just just to make sure, this one here it it looks like it's this
is a purse. This is a bad guy.
But it looks like it's a it looks like it says Vanna Wyatt,
but it's actually a maelstrom scavenger.
Is that right? Yeah, yeah, no, that's, that's
that's a dude. Great, great.
Because I'm gonna go ahead and well there.
Who's this? She fell to the ground like a
second sheet. Of your standing above this body
on the ground just shot this pink haired woman in the head
and she is a pile of limbs and contortion.
In front of you. There are three Maelstrom
Scabbers hanging out around Vanna White with three wheels,
and you lift your gun and point it at the closest one.
So in that case, I'm going to go by buying Bang Bang right here
to this Maelstrom scavenger. No, yeah, that's my first shot
right there. 23. Bang Bang, motherfucker.
Nice. Yeah, that's really high.
But that's very good. You did well there.
Well done. Don't touch my car.
And you do 14 damage to this guy as he tries to avoid.
He doesn't have a reflex above 8 so it's a a fruitless endeavour,
but he does get hit. Now you got blood.
You got your blood on my car. You know you're going to have to
pay for that, and I mean with your life.
And I shoot again. Oh shit.
Oh my gosh. You rolled 36 shooting him again
for the same damage. What the hell?
All right, cool. Yep.
Create when you need to. Create when you need to.
What a great way to open a fight.
It's two bullets right into this guy and he goes right below half
health. Motherfucker, you hear You hear
his left arm tear as he pushes against the truck behind him,
getting caught in the handle. His arm twist badly.
Hey, I said. Don't touch my car.
Oh my arm -2 to melly attacks, no.
Thank you, that is my turn. Yes, and Jeb, after these
triumphant two shots, you feel a hand grab your ankle.
You look down and there is Pinky, back on her feet,
squatted below you. Son.
Of a bitch cerebral. I'm a motherfucker.
And she tries to pull you to the ground.
What does that mean? Whoa.
Roll brawling Brawling 16. I also have to roll brawling.
Sure, I should do that. Oh, you managed to get away from
the first grab? Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
She tries to tackle you invasion.
Oh that's not going to go well. So you sidestep her as she jumps
forward and unfortunately she completely misses you and hits
the ground for 09 damage. Fuck.
Looks like that cerebral, what'd you call it?
Armor. I mean, does that just mean you
got armor on your on your spine, on your bones that don't mean
shit for your eyeball? Looks turns around and she looks
at you to. My.
Head and the bullet you shot into her falls out of her.
Hair. Oh my.
Oh shit. She's AT1000.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the battlefield, Retro is
watching an explosion in golf. Some Maelstrom scammers.
Oh God. Oh God, Vivi.
You lift your gun as you watch Retro take his turn and smoke
emanates from the top as you feel the rush of adrenaline from
shooting a red barrel as you slide away in a cool way.
Well I don't have many options at the moment since all I have
is an air pistol and that doesn't cause damage.
But it does cause a blade. It does a blade armor though
because it's got acid in it. Correct.
There are maelstrom guys too, right?
Yes. Can I use, can I reflect in my
mind where a joint in a cyber limb would be for the acid to
potentially melt away? Sure.
What's the name shot? Holy shit.
Holy. Shit.
Oh. Like 3-2.
Oh yeah, 'cause you've got Maker, duh.
Yeah, of course you would know that.
Yes, number that high it's. Really high and that's legit.
That's just a legit roll. You just did well.
Maker Maker is where it's at. It's OP as shit.
Holy mother.
Yeah, so you rolled a crit. You also rolled A10, so there is
that. Yeah.
You rolled a crit success with a + 8 with that great holy moly at
42 yes, you can see from where you're standing at this doorway.
You can see the joints at the limbs as they glint in the fire
of the explosion. 14 I'm. Going to use the use the boxes
cover trying to keep on the edge.
So like I'm no, I'm as far away from the foam as I can and make
the shot now at at trying to hit either a servo in an arm or a
leg. Oh.
Way better 18 yes, steadiness up against the box.
You get a clear shot at this Maelstrom Scava, and oh, you
miss because it's +8. Aww.
Too bad. I don't have any other weapons.
You had luck. I could have spent it.
I won. Thought I could officer with my
knowledge of sort work. I'm sorry brother.
Your second air pistol shot flies off into the distance of
this battle. As you can hear the foam around
you start to settle in this huge mound around the vehicle.
You can hear it crackling with its caustic energy.
Oh. Caustic energy.
Isn't that painful? It it?
Yeah. My my pride is my pride is kind
of hurt a bit. On the other side of the
battlefield, Jeb, after your dodge, the guy behind you who
shot, he's next. All right, come on, He.
Rips out his gun and shoots you. Dodger 14.
Happily. Wow.
You sidestep his first bullet. Do it again.
You prick and he tries to shoot you and his gun jams.
He rolls a crit fail -1 and man. Really.
Looks like looks not really on your side is it?
Maybe it's because you fucked with the wrong people and you
fucked with the wrong car. And he scrambles back to the
wall to chase after his gun, which he unfortunately drops.
These guys seem like they're professionals.
And it's Vendel's turn. So question about the foam, how
like is that maelstrom that is like half in half out, are they
suffering? They will be, yes.
It's not their turn yet. They get to rob, resist torture
drugs, but yeah. Great.
OK, so don't touch it. Don't touch it.
Don't touch it, all right? And the last episode said 5
minutes, so probably for the entirety of this combat you
probably shouldn't go in there. All right, noted Bandella's
going to take a running leap from behind retro on top of this
box and try I want to try and jump onto this box here, just
the smaller box behind it and slice at the maelstrom in the in
the foam. Amazing Roll roll athletics.
If it makes it easier you can just jump off of retro shoulder
while they're not paying attention.
Cool running leap, awful running leap and then and then a
somersault in the air. And a somersault in the air.
Yeah, with my skate feet. Skate feet.
Skate fast, turn left, motherfucker 16 Yeah, that's
good enough. That's not a difficult task.
No, wait, that is a difficult. That's literally passing a
difficult task. That was a difficult task.
Also, fuck you and. They pull out their sword and
they slice this guy, this maelstrom who's the foam has
started to cover the flesh parts of their body and you can hear
it sizzle on them. Today makes our stingy noises.
23 OK, all right, OK, calm down, everyone. 23 Roll evasion.
It does not look like you're going to do it there, Maelstrom.
Nope, he gets hit for 12 damage. Do it again, but better.
Well, not not better, but. 16 Nice and this Scabba dodges out
of the way of the foam and is now standing next to a red
barrel about 5 feet away. You little shit.
But don't watch out for the foam.
Not the foam. The.
Foam. Climb back onto the big box,
farther away from the foam. Meanwhile, over by Jeb, one of
the other quote UN quote mechanics here comes around the
side of Vanna White and points their gun at Jeb.
Do it. Come on, I want you to do.
Fuck, God damn it, why does all our stuff suck?
He says as his gun jams. He sacrifices the rest of his
movements to fix his gun in the moment.
Honestly, listen, I'm I'm pretty pissed off at you, but you can't
take this personally. It really isn't you.
It's simply that we're just too good.
Fixes his gun and takes a shot at you only rolling a 13 Dodger
13. Yeah, I believe.
How's that? Oh my gosh.
Where do you want to move in that dodge?
You can move 5 feet. There we go.
And you easily dodge this bullet as it flies behind you and
sticks into a cabinet. Mother fucker.
Meanwhile, back on the other side, this initiative is doing
tennis. The plushy guy, E Tank, is
standing at the doorway to his little shed.
He's very close to being singed, so he has to roll Invasion 16.
Yes, he succeeds in avoiding the explosion and steps into the
room. He throws a grenade out to
beside the car. Let's see if he can do that.
Seven. Yes.
Grenade lands and it begins to tick.
As he closes the door, it beeps next to you.
Retro, you can see it. Hey.
What's that beeping? And then unfortunately it
explodes all evasion. Great.
It's. Beeping.
It's beeping, Mrs. Brock. That'd.
Be good. Oh baby, that's.
Not good. Take 14 damage and the car
starts to spark. Oh boy.
How much? Damage did you take?
14. Are you all right, Retro?
Are those sparks? Yeah.
Oh shit. Oh no.
Is your head OK? Remy?
I'm. Fine, do you?
Think he's short circuiting? Bullets fly towards Vendel, but
with that 14 it's a complete miss and they stick into the
wall. Well, hey, you're really far
away. That gun's not really going to.
Whoa, that's a 19. I have to dodge that.
Barely. Barely.
Ow and then it hit me. Fuck.
I mean it it doesn't blade my armor or anything but.
Still. Ow prick.
So Vendel's armor goes down by 1?
Fuck. Should we touch the foam?
He says to the guy standing in the foam and that guy looks at
him and just starts to scream and he falls to the ground.
Oh, Oh no. And starts to rise.
Oh. What's going on over there?
It looks very unpleasant. Yeah, there's a lot of
malfunctioning. The blood is just squirting out
of him now. Not squirting out of him.
Then, unfortunately, the porta potti that was engulfed by this
solution, a guy bursts out of one of them because he's been in
there the whole time. No, not a guy.
And this maelstrom is covered in the foam as it came through the
vents of the Porta Potti and is also screaming and takes a
serious amount of damage. Oh.
There's metal burn. And so he's on the ground as
well. The Scava, who was attacked by
Vendel steps forward and goes to shoot Vendel with a gun.
Bang Bang Dodger 14 Bang Bang I will 18 damn.
Vendel dodges handily. Fuck you and.
The guy shoots him again. Oh shit.
Stop. Stop shooting Vendel.
Oh. Ow fuck Iona, you distracted me.
I'm sorry, Vendel's armor goes down by 1 again.
Vendel's going to need new armor.
Oh. Shit.
OK there is a lot going on right now and I'm a bit stressed out
about it but I think I need to help retro or at least take care
of who was going after him because he looks like he took a
bad hit. So can I see the scaver that?
Yeah, you can see over the box totally.
Yep, I'm going to. It's about chest high.
I'm going to shoot at them. 17 Excellent, amazing, really,
really good. And that that noise that we know
so well goes off. Hell yeah.
And this bullet flies across the battlefield as you hear the foam
start to sizzle. You can see it start to rescind
as the volume of it slowly starts to go back towards the
car. Meanwhile, this guy is now
bleeding because he doesn't have a reflex of above 8.
He takes 9 damage. Oh the fuck he's he's no one
else. You have two shots there, right?
And I I shoot again. Oh, dude, the updated stuff.
Look, it says you've been good. That's so fun.
I love that.
That'll help people play, right. Just in time for Demi plane
sheets to come out and make all of this 18.
Amazing. That's so good.
Yeah, no, you hit him for 22 damage and full on, just put a
bullet right through the middle of his head and he drops to the
ground, dies because that's more health than he has.
But as he dies, he goes, his body instinctively puts his arm
back and his arm folds the wrong way.
And half of it flies off because it's mechanical and flies into
the phone because you got a critical injury and it was
broken. Nice shot baby.
Also holy shit. Thanks that it was a lucky shot
I guess. Lucky shot, you hit both times.
OK, it's not bad for somebody who got an initiative of 1-2.
You got 2 right? Yeah, 2 Better than a -1.
Right. Everyone looks at Iona, who's
just standing there. Talk to me, I.
Ain't got shit so. Back on the other side of the
battlefield, one of the Maelstrom Scabbers comes around
the corner of Vanna White. You.
Asked for it. I hope my gun doesn't jam too.
You might. You didn't dodge A14.
Come on, you've got this. The trick is when they, when
they're right, when they're about to pull the trigger, you
just kind of like step to one side and duck at the same time.
I like to call it a step duck or a duck duck.
Sorry I messed that one. Oh me.
Yeah. They shot you again.
We're all waiting. Oh my.
God, that's embarrassed. 19 You dodged the other bullet while
taking time to sort of say how great you are.
Yeah, yeah, so this is how you do it.
Just just so everyone, just so you guys specifically my
friends, just so y'all know how to do it.
It's a it's a step duck, a stuck No, it's it's.
Now they used all their movement to try and take that shot and
they missed entirely. So now it is finally Iona's
turn. Iona.
You've taken a while to do your turn.
What's wrong? I I was trying to dry off all of
the sanitizer that was still all over me.
I I couldn't hold my gun. Is that that's an explanation
for you? Yeah, that works great.
I like that one. That's good, Naruto.
I like that. That's cool.
So what does Iona do? Well, I don't want to be
anywhere near this foam and I from what I can hear over the
calms, Jeb is fighting two people by himself.
Can I run as an action, run as a second action and then run as my
movement and try to get? You can double your movement by
running, but then you don't get the shoot.
Damn. All right.
Yeah, that's fine. If you want, Vendel could push
you, but then Vendel would also have to roll.
You know what I'm going to do instead?
Can I have Vendel climb off the box as a free action as I come
by and I'll and I'll do the Derby whip to whip them over
towards Jebediah over there? You can do the the Derby whip
but Vendel can't move. Like like yes, correct.
That makes sense. Will stay exactly where they are
and you'll jump past them and they'll whip you as you go.
So Vendel has to roll athletics and you get triple your movement
if Vendel is successful. Wait, I'm corn fused?
I'm not. I don't need triple my movement
anymore. You don't.
Well, 'cause no 'cause I'm whipping Vendel because Vendel's
turn is coming up soon. Oh, very sneaky.
That's a good idea, Iona, whip me.
I am. I am.
Don't worry, Pash. You're doing we're we're you're
doing skate feat. So we're going to do dance.
Hey ya. A.
Rolled. A Max crit, that's a 30.
Where do you want them to go? They can jump over the fiery
explosion. Yes, I would love for them to
get the beautiful moment to jump over the fiery explosion.
And why not just directly pummel into the scabber that is in
between all of us and Jeb's fighting ring?
Great. Yeah, Vandell flies over this
explosion in the middle of the chop shop and goes towards the
Maelstrom Scabber to attack, which they will get to do on
their next turn. Wow.
Nice move, Ayanna, do you do anything else?
A pant because I wasn't expecting to jump over that box.
Fair enough. Who is fine?
I'm I'm fine. Jeb behind you, you hear the the
revving of an engine. Yeah.
Like a chainsaw, almost. There's the bitch.
Now you thought you were going to cut a rug.
I'm just going to cut you. Off yeah, I like.
You forget and as you turn around there is Pinky holding a
chainsaw knife. Bitch.
Ah shit, it is. Cybertopia is back and it's
going punk. And after the Corpus threw them
under the bus, our former amazing corps agents are trying
to make sense of it all and find their place in the world once
more. Last thing I remember the OP was
going fine and then everything is quiet so it's time to
recover. I mean, hey, so far I've.
Been hungover, beaten up, stole food.
Had an hour and a half hike, dragged myself half to death,
got zapped, half back to life, everything's fine, rebuild.
Well, I can. Dispense eggs again, but the
lemonade dispenser is doing steak sauce and reconnect with
friends old. And new.
Well, well, well, what's the trash?
Fortunately, though, not everything has been lost.
The T dispenser still. Works.
Search for Cyberto pure AP anywhere you find your podcast
and they're going to cut you. Yeah, they can dry.
Oh, eighteen, that might actually hit you, although
they've rolled shitty on damage hits you the chain knife.
Now, jeez. You see it tear into your armor
and you take one damage. That's the rule, Yeah.
Oh, Dodger 21. She slices you again.
Oh, another good fuck. Oh, and the chain knife takes
you the other way, pushing you back towards the other
combatants in this area. All right, bitch, I'm sorry, but
I'm really going to have to take you out here.
I mean, and I don't mean to take you out for like a nice, you
know, dinner and drinks because I was never interested.
I just want to let the record show instead.
I do mean take. I'd never be interested in
someone who can't dance all. Right.
That was a bitch. Clearly I'm going to, you know,
raise my. Yeah.
All right. Just shut up, all right?
And I shoot her. 24 That ain't bad.
That's not bad. That's not that's not bad.
See, The thing is, is you watch her smirk at you in the
battlefield. And.
She half dodges a bullet and it glints off the top of her
shoulder. Yep, half dodging is still
getting here. She tries to dodge the other
way, running a 21 again. Holy crap.
She's fast, but still not enough, and she takes yet
another hit. She's holding on for dear life
and gritting her teeth as she looks at you with this chain
knife in her hand, dripping with a little bit of your blood
piece. Of shit.
Yeah, right back at you. Meanwhile, on the other side of
the battlefield, Retro. OK, so that's all fire in that
red circle. I can't do anything about that.
I'm going to move where Iona is. That's fine, I will happily get
out of your way. I.
Appreciate it. Remy of course is still
glitching a bit from that attack and I think they might be a bit
scrambled, confused and have started to take on the persona
they were putting on before. Cole.
Of Babylon. Yep, I am the horror of Babylon.
I'm going to grab one of these red barrels.
Cool. Look toward.
The top one, the middle one or the bottom one?
The top one, the one that's near Iona.
Cool. And I want to Chuck it.
Well, yeah, I want to Chuck it at this scabbard, just on the
edge of the foam, kind of close. Try to make it so that way.
We'll try the Dodge Vendel if possible.
Great. Yeah.
And hopefully get it to explode. If you get it right here, it'll
hit both of them. There's a sweet spot that you
could get both of them if you really tried.
You have to roll really well and cause the barrel 10 damage.
I would like to really try before chucking it.
I would like to use my tool hand, or just maybe even my
cybernetic hand altogether to puncture a hole in the barrel.
Sure. Tipping it not so.
So it doesn't spill out just yet, right?
And oh God, what am I going to need to roll for this?
That brawling. Brawling if you want to throw
something, yeah. All right, Yeah, I'm just going
to pick up the barrel and my and I still have my dark voice on
and just just saying to myself, no opportunity wasted is a sin
preserved. I'm going to burn all heretics
and Nicholson fire. Amazing.
And you throw it. Yeah, I'm trying to.
It won't click. It's it's, come on.
There it is, 18. Oh yeah.
Yeah, that's that's a professional task.
You are professional whore of Babylon.
And it lands right smack dab between them.
Now I'm hoping that that puncture that I've I've made is
causing whatever causes it to explode to have leaked out and
maybe catch from off of going over a thing of fire that I had
to throw over. All right, what's your luck
right now? My luck is 5.
OK, if you're all A5 or an under on a dice, it explodes without
you having to do anything else. What?
What does AD 10? OK, you want AD 10?
5 and under. Yeah, you have to under your
luck, yes. Nope.
Oh no. It.
Sits there with a puncture. I have an inspiration.
Hold on. No.
No, no, it's fine. No, no, no.
Save your inspiration. I do also but.
Maybe inspiration? Just retro gets to have this
moment where they you know, they're now fully in character
because they're they're concussed and they throw it
thinking it's going to explode. It doesn't.
I really thought that was going to work.
Hopefully we're just saying that really badass Lauren.
But like, it's not. He didn't roll enough to have
that moment, but now there is a barrel between these two guys
who are screaming in agony, so that's a plus for your team
Retro. It's a plus.
I just I'm having a do to cause damage.
Back on the other side of the battlefield, the most damaged of
these Scabbers tries to shoot Jeb.
You have to roll a crit to avoid that.
It's going to be temp, but here we go.
Not enough? The bullet hits you in the side
and causes 9 damage. Get.
Fucked. Dodger 13.
No, you're not hitting me, Dwas. Oh yes, amazing.
The bullet flies off into the distance and you can hear it
almost land as it hits nothing. Fuck.
Bitch. Hey.
It's my, it's my new word. I've been kind of using it all
session for some reason, I don't really know why.
Back on the other side of the battlefield, Vendel has just
landed in front of one of the only unscathed Maelstrom
Scabbers in the whole area. A good evening.
Hi, what's up? Face Meet Sword.
That's really good. That's a 20.
Yeah. Not enough.
The mouse from Scabba gets hit for seven.
Dam, is that really it? Oh yeah, 22 ones.
Yeah, that's what happens. Pretty good.
I can attack twice. Short can.
Backhand 20 ha ha. The Maelstrom Scabba grabs
Vendel's hand as they swipe towards them and pushes them
back. Vendel has to roll evasion.
Vendel No. Oh.
Shit. I mean, is it against the crit
or is there a new brawl? No.
It's not against, no, no, it's not against the crit, OK.
It is against a. It's against an 11.
Ha ha. Ha, so instead of dodging into
the foam they dodge just back and a disengage in combat.
You thought you could get me that easily?
I'm not just any lackey. That's funny, you look like any
lackey to me. Oh man.
Yeah, yeah, I'm savage. Fuck you.
That's true. So.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the field, as you start to
listen to the call on the other side, Jeb, somebody tries to
shoot you with a bullet from a gun.
Who the hell? Dodge 1424.
You dodge fairlessly. They're not bad going up against
four people and then the guy tries to shoot you again and his
gun jabs. Motherfucker.
How is this another crip fail? I don't know, get good.
Fuck you. Fuck you.
Fuck. You back on the other side of
the battlefield, the Maelstrom Scabba goes to attack Vendel.
Oh yeah. Yeah.
Vendel has to dodge AT12O. Piece of cake. 20.
Yes. Amazing.
Oh, you have to roll a crit to avoid that?
That's a crit 27. This.
This isn't cake anymore. Oh.
Shit. Not enough.
No, not enough. They take with the the armor
goes down by 1. I can do this, don't worry.
The armor goes down by 1 and they take 6 damage.
Ow fuck Wow, getting hit hurts. Iona, this hurts.
Yeah, you're starting to look a little not so good, so maybe
stay away. One of the guys in the phone
screams and you you hear his insides push out of him with a
gruesome spurt and he dies. Christ, Oh geez, oh God, Jesus
and. Then the guy who popped out of
the porta potty experiences exactly the same thing.
They're malfunctioning. More of them are, slowly but
surely. Wait.
All we had to do was just wait, and then they'd just die.
Maybe. The ones in the foam, yeah.
Wait, what's up with the foam? I'm not over that.
Flush. It's weak and they have no
spirit. The foam is bad.
Don't touch the foam. God, don't touch the.
Foam, so if you if you did pull the foam into that other one,
don't be near it when it explodes because it'll it'll
hurt a lot. All right, don't go into the
foam or your insides will become your outsides.
I'm reading loud and clear. OK, Vendel, you're not looking
good over there. I'm going to come support.
As you climb up onto that box, you see the red barrel.
It could still be useful, I don't know.
It's not near anyone. Yeah, because the other two, the
two people they that it was near have died from the foam.
I see, well I do want to take out the one that's nearest to
Vendel right now because they are struggling a bit.
So can I use the OR is that no that because Vendel would be?
If you did a really good shot and made it roll back and have
it explode behind the guy in theory.
That's seems like a bit of a stretch.
It is. A big stretch.
Julie can do it by curving a bullet.
You can. You.
Flip your forearm at the same time, it'll curve the bullet.
That's a little far. You know, I'm going to go for,
I'm going to try to go for the scaver.
Actually, that's on Vendel. Sure.
It might be a bit difficult because they're far away. 17 OK,
OK. I don't think that, you know
what, I'm going to use my inspiration and I'm going to add
some luck to this, OK? There you need Do you want to
know the DV? Yes.
OK, so in theory, if you were, if you if you were as close as
you could be. OK.
Thank you. That's. 35 feet, 35 yards.
OK, so you. Need a 20 or more?
I'm going to add 4 luck points to the shot.
Damn. I didn't even need to, but I'm
going to keep those four luck points.
Damn you take the shot. Expend them.
Yes, you. You.
Take the shot and the bullet flies right past Vendel's ear
and straight into this Maelstrom scabber, who takes a step back
as they get hit. And I shoot again, and I'm going
to expend two more luck points. Damn, damn.
Oh. And I lose my inspiration.
So that's that. That's that, yeah.
Please do not shoot Bendel. You shoot, you shoot.
Oh yeah, Bendel has to dodge the bullet now.
Bendel. Bendel Evasion Beta 15.
No. I've I've.
Bendel it's not paying attention and gets shot in the back by
Vivi. Ow fuck ow Vivi.
Your gun is still pointed out and smoking.
Ow. Sorry I've been shaming, I was
trying to help. You shot me.
I'll fix it. You better, you shot me.
Sorry, Bendel. Meanwhile, on the other side of
the battlefield, Jeb, you just hear Bendel say you shot me.
Hey, hey, what's going on back there?
As someone shoots at you, God. Damn it.
Been a 12, yes you dodged the first shot and you see Vendel
holding their back and in the distance you can see you can see
BB holding their gun up looking a little remorseful.
Oops. I don't know what's going on
back there. I don't like it.
Dodge 1423. Yeah, you dodge effortlessly.
Amazing. I'm back on the other side of
the battlefield. It's Iona's turn.
Everybody's got this handled. I'm actually going to sneak back
out and I'm going to try and make my way to the other
entrance. Oh, OK.
So I'm just. So you can you can go twice your
movement then. I I don't remember what my
movement is. It's your move step, yeah,
which? Is where?
It's like at the very top of your pay, it's like the easiest
one to find. No, yeah.
Six, yeah. So you can move 12.
You actually go really far. 12 diagonals are 1, not 3.
OK, cool. Perfect.
So you make your way around the outside of the compound.
I'm. Coming, Jeb.
Yeah. You hear over the radio but I
owner is on their way as the chain knife Revs up again and
pinky attacks. You got your 23.
Coming in loud and clear but one second just got to deal with
this. Oh shit.
Oh my goodness. Just a.
Crit invasion. Amazing.
Jeb is Neo. Jeb is Neo and now you have to
dodge at 18 but you get plus one for your crit that you've just
got. Great.
Never mind, that's two crits in a row.
Holy shit Jeb is Neo as the second chain knife attack flies
through the air and whips past you, which is you'd feel really
cool. You can smell Petro and Jeb
after these two attacks. It is your turn.
So I am half surrounded, you could say.
Yes. So so Jeb like gracefully
redirects the chain knife and it in one fail swoop 1 swift motion
pistol whips pinky right in the face with the butt of one of his
grand pappies Colt 40 fives. Fuck you.
And she dodges. God damn it, you know I was
never good at it hand to hand combat anyway.
Fuck you. Bang Bang.
Oh wow, from 1 crit to another crit fell on brawling for a 14
where she dodges effortlessly and a crit success with your
grand puppy's colt 40 fives. She dodges, gives, gives you A,
and then you shoot in the face and she drops down dead because
she only had five HP. You're God damn right.
Oh shit, pinky's dead. Dad, you stayed here this time.
And you watch blood come out of her mouth as her body lays
lifeless on the floor and one of the Maelstrom Scabbers around
you runs away from you. And on the other side of
Battlefield Retro, you're standing right behind Phoebe and
you watch her pull her gun down after shooting Vendel in the
back. You know, it's all right, I
tried to do something cool too and it didn't work out.
So don't feel too bad I. Guess it happens to the best of
us. Yeah, stay in character, though.
We got to stay in character. I have.
I have a plan after this. OK.
I want to go and check this door out.
Oh shit, who's that? That's E tank he ran in there
after he threw a grenade at you. The.
Plushy guy. Will.
You kill him. It's up to your discretion.
I can't hear you. I'm.
I'm outside the building, Sorry. He did take my plushie.
We, we did a trade, I mean. I.
I I heard I heard BB said that and that gives enough reason for
retro I guess tell you exactly what I want to try to do.
Retro wants to try to grapple with this E tank at the same
time pull out their. Ball and cup that they had
gotten that has airplane wire has a connection and use that as
a groat. Sure, roll rolling.
You get plus one because you're using a tool.
Can I argue basic tech? Yes.
Wait, what do we do you?
Just groat that, ma'am. What do we do?
Oh my God. I win, I'm up by 1.
Yeah, but they rolled a crit. But I'm up by 1.
That's the. Rules has written right?
Like crits don't mean shit. The only thing that crit means
is that you get to roll again, right?
Rules was written. I'm going to say in this
instance you did beat them. However, because they rolled a
crit, you take 4 damage in the process of grappling this
person. Sure, in the process.
So while I I tackle who of course is punching me and while
I try to get them in the rear mount, of course elbowing me in
the in the chest and such. You know, I'm take my ball and
cup and I was able to get it around his neck and then use my
mathematics skills in leverage to pin both of my knees into
their back and wrench myself with like that.
Oh shit. OK, what's that, 3D six?
Yeah. 3D6. 3D6 OK, still closes down.
He's joking at least. Yeah, you're now checking this
guy out. Meanwhile, on the other side of
the battlefield, most reused sound clip in this episode.
Jeb, some one of these scabbers shoots you again.
Dodge 24 18 not enough you take. Oh Yep, that one got me.
Yep. You take and you take what?
What's your armor right now? Oh yeah, yeah, Oh yeah.
You take 5 damage and your armor gets bladed by 1 and this GABA
shoot you again. Dodge an 18.
Oh boy. Yep, looks like my my luck has
run out. And you take 4 damage.
After the ablation. Yeah, great.
Vendel is still holding on the other side of the battlefield.
Vendel is holding their side where they got shot by Phoebe.
Ow. Fuck, we weren't friends.
Damn, and Vendel points that gun towards the Maelstrom Scava.
Fuck you. And shoots this guy blank and he
takes a whole lot of damage. This gun shoots twice, bitch.
And they pull the trigger again. Whoa.
And after those words, Jeb, you hear the word bitch and you
swing your head and watch Vendel execute this maelstrom in the
head with their crit 23 damage, which is genuine.
This guy has 10 Hales left. Trashed Almighty.
The back of their head blows open and blood cascades across
the tarmac towards you. Oh.
Shit, oh shit. Meow, damn it.
While you're watching this, Jeb on the other side of the other
scabber points a gun at you and shoots.
You dodge at 12. And here comes, looks like my
luck's run out. Yeah, 12 to meow. 21 Yeah, you
dodge it easily. Easily Dodger 17 all.
Right. Yeah.
Hell yeah. Nice retro.
It is Ethan's turn and he tries to drag you out of the tiny room
you guys were in together. Roll something to stop him.
Can I react to that? Yes you can.
I would like to because I've still got him in the rear mount,
right? Right.
I would like to, as he's running out, let go of the groat.
Like release it from his neck, kick off him backwards.
OK, in order to do that you have to beat a 19.
OK, that's a crit 29. Everyone and retro flips E tank
around, kicks him in the back and he flies into the foam.
The last thing you see end of the foam is like the head of a
really cute plushy capybara. Vivi Vivi just watches this
stunned and like that Retro just pulled this move.
That's that's amazing. I can't believe the roles today.
It's insane. Yeah, just does a flip right off
the back as they go in lands. Does the superhero think?
Because now since Retro does something cool, their brain is
not clicked back into the persona man.
Where we've always felt longer. And you can hear Etag dying in
the foam. He's inhaled it.
He's long, he's gone. He's he's going to die.
And it is in this moment on the battlefields that all of the
leaders of this group have died. You have eviscerated this team.
Just like every other time. Sure, it is at this moment that
two things happen. One, it is Phoebe's turn, and
two, Phoebe, you see Iona appear on the other side of the
battlefield, bursting through the door at the bottom to come
help Jeb. OK, it is my turn.
Everybody's done. I go to help Bendel.
Bendel's clasping their side. Yeah, you're not going to shoot
me, are you? No, I'm going to heal you.
Sorry Vendel. It's OK, I'm the peripheral of
my eye. I'm eyeing that capybara
plushie, but I realize Vendel needs my help.
First 11 moment. 20 Yeah, First aid, you give Vendel 2D6 health.
What's happen? I'll do it.
Thank you. That'll yeah.
For now, we'll fix you up. More later.
And on the other side of the battlefield, Iona, you step into
this other entrance as a Scava runs past you, running away from
Jeb, and he's standing there accosted by two gang members,
the last two here. Come on, bring it now.
As I run in I I see the barrels to my left and I recollect Remy
puncturing a hole in it and tossing it.
And so I'm going to follow that lead.
Nice. I'm going to take a nail file
out of me my bag and puncture a hole into the side of it and I'm
going to try and loft it towards Jeb to shoot.
Amazing. And I'm going to put some lock
into it. I would hope so.
I'm. Going to put I'm going to put 4
lock into it. Amazing.
All right. Would be a sin to not learn from
one's mistakes. Indeed.
Wait, I'm supposed to shoot this thing?
You will. Oh, you will.
That's an 18. Yeah, it flies behind the two
Maelstrom Scabbers and hits the. Wall.
Is that the sand now? Yes.
Oh guy, I mean do it. Do it now or wait till my turn.
No, it is actually your turn. Everyone between Pinky's dead,
so the only you're next. Great chick, chick.
And boom. You take a step back, don't you,
Jeb? Yeah.
Nice, Jeb. Step back.
I'm out here. Maybe.
Maybe another and maybe another one.
What do you like here? That perfect?
Perfect. Oh, great.
Bye. And the bullet flies across them
doing 8 damage, which is how much this barrel has left, and
the barrel explodes, killing the last two scabbers here.
Oh. My.
God, Oh my, so. Heavy.
That was a lot. You know, I don't even, I don't
even remember the last time I took 15 damage.
Oh man. Yeah, I was.
I don't know the last time I ran that much.
We are we are we all going to get in in this beautiful ride of
ours or? Yes, but first I need that
plushie. Well, also it's missing a wheel.
The plushie. Next time on no latency. 4th
wheel. See Vanna White's only got 3
wheels. Do we not have a spare on Vanna
White? Maybe be a bit resourceful.
And I I don't know what the other wheel looks like so I
can't be of help there. God damn.
It Oh hell, hell, look in here. Maybe you guys can help me get
this plushy I. Hate looking for things.
Oh. Shit, Oh shit.
Yeah, Jason. Are you are you alright?
Oh my God, our stuff. Our stuff should be at the van.
Definitely want to pickpocket everyone of them.
French toast. Come on.
Scooby Great. I've had a lot of money, yes.
Through the flesh is weak, but Domino's spirit is willing.
Wait, isn't that what we were doing?
I am so tired. Let's go for the one shoulder.
I ran so much, the more I'm going to go home.
