Last time on no latency. I don't think that we
necessarily need to go in with guns of blazing makes sense.
Taking him in a way or like to the police.
I don't know. To that guy, that was.
For hire detective. It's Halloween.
Honesty and directness are probably the best policy.
A major suit straight. Ripper, Rudy.
Well, Remy does drugs. Excuse me?
I'm next and this is my. Entourage best friend.
Did you happen to install Cyber Cyber?
Fangs wovers and a sudden division is what he said.
Mass murderer comes walking through.
Oh. Whoop, how?
Yeah, fuck you, Sparkle. I have been to his apartment.
You've been to his apartment. I think we need to kill the
vampire. Here's your vulva Max back.
I did perform surgery on him. I'm on the sad.
Stealthy it is. I'll just pretend I'm here to
visit. I'll.
I'll knock. And then we'll be on the other
side of the door, like, you know, with our backs.
Yeah, up against the wall. OK, good, good.
I would like to, if possible, within the stealth roll that I
made, take a small piece of duct tape from my back and have it
palmed in my hand. Done.
So they don't know that Iona Vendell or you Jeb are outside.
So there is the potential for still having a covert option to
sneak in. Well, possibly.
Iona got a 20 for stealth hiding from the security camera.
However, Vendell did roll a fail, so 9.
I'm I'm, I'm going to stand next to VV.
It's just US 3. Right.
Well, obviously, yes, it is the doctor's assistant.
What is it? Your intern from the college
forgetting the college experience.
What is that term that they say all the time?
Intern. Is that what it is?
I swear there was another. Term.
There is another term. I know there's something that
that like students do like I forget what it's called, but I
know it. Medical students.
Variants. No, like medical students do
like a thing where they have to go a residency.
Residency. Residency is president, yes.
That's right. After you've graduated.
We're very. Confident about this?
Yes. Well, it it doesn't matter
really. What we need to do is confront
Dr. Glass, and that's what I'm going to do.
Vivi just walks up. You knock on the door.
I will Retro will stand to the side to let both of them in,
holding the doorway with their left hand.
Would they have palmed the piece of duct tape, hopefully aiming
to cover over the locking mechanism?
Oh, interesting. Oh yeah, sure.
Roll something to do that. That's very cool.
I like that. I'm gonna go with this one. 19
Yes, very, very, very. What's the word?
Quietly, Very, very quietly. You place this duct tape over
the lock and if no one forces it, it'll stay open.
That's what I'm hoping for. OK.
People, please just go on in as a as a gentleman, I would be the
remiss not to be the last one to go.
Of course, I'll go first. I'm just.
Going to I'm just going to stay back here.
And Bendel and Vivi scooch into the room, followed by Retro.
Doctor Glass is lounging on a sofa.
You can see the red sky and mist of Night City behind you as the
moonlight basks through the window.
He smiles, his fangs sharp. I was wondering when you'd show
up. You look different.
Indeed, you're holding out on me, aren't you?
I don't know if that's the terminology I would use.
Perhaps you were holding out on the rest of us of what you
actually were planning. I have always been jealous and
petty, and however much I've had all of these riches, I've never
been able to add metal through myself.
He flashes his claws out and they retract back into his hand.
But now, like Wolverine or like Sabretooth?
Sabretooth. OK, good, important distinction.
These are wolvers, so they come out there.
Yep. I thought I'd never know what it
felt like to be more than human. And now, thanks to the blood of
that dead man, I might live forever and watch you turn to
dust. I I don't understand why.
Why were you doing all of this? I thought you were trying to.
I thought you were trying to help people.
I was well, it made me money. You do it for long enough and
you have so much, and the one thing money couldn't buy was
augmentation until I found your little runaway.
That substance is wild. Makes you hungry though.
Yeah. Yeah, it does.
I dare say he does seem to be acting like he's been smoking
some of that. What are the kids calling it
now? The ganja?
The wacky? The backy.
Okie, Dokie. He's just gone full super
villain is really what it is. I am quite intrigued by all
these cyber kinetics that are on.
So being a technician of myself, would you mind if I could see
such amenities up close? Up close?
Why yes, I would love to see how you were able to do that.
To me. Are you saying that you would
hurt someone like myself, Sir? I'm saying I've eaten in a few
hours. So that's a general threat then?
That's up to you. I'll take my chances, please.
Please. I mean if you are too scared to
allow me to take a look, I could completely understand if you had
some shoddy type of connections and would be embarrassed.
No, I found a good Ripper duck. I met him.
He's not as good as you think. Feels good to me.
Well, it feels good because he convinced your brain because
it's cybernetically enhanced. So it tells you that it is when
it's not. I mean, if you knew how to do it
yourself, obviously you would see the shoddy work of it.
But I mean, it's up to you. Believe it, I am a medical
professional. Obviously not that well,
interesting. If you're afraid to let me see
the handiwork. I can understand.
It's a common tactic that people that are self-conscious of their
own work wouldn't want them to see.
I I get it. Real persuasion.
You you guys, I'm I'm just hanging out back here, but if
you all need me, you just you just tell me in OK?
It's all right. I'm.
I'm back here too. I'm just behind the vending
machine. Oh.
My God, didn't even see you back there.
I. I know I'm, I'm really stealthy
today, but it, it's, it's our arm, we're around.
The corner real quick. Just take a look.
OK, All right, All right. I'm, I'm over here.
OK, well, should we go up with some sort of sneaky plan or?
My engine pro perception. Oh, hold on, you smell that?
Wait, wait. No, I don't my.
My fucking possession. 19 Yes, you discover on the wall over to
your E, there is a vent not not a breeze.
Gotta go take a look. Oh, would you look at that?
What is it? A van.
A vent. Yeah, a van.
What do you think? I'd open open it up.
Yeah, Well, yeah. Can you hear?
Well, listen, can you hear them talking?
Does it go to Doctor Glass's apartment?
Well, it has to. Is there's the only one on this
floor? Yes.
You're right. I'm I'm going in, I'm going to
try to, I'm going to open this up as as as non squeakily as
possible. Oh, oh, I'm actually going to
run over there. Oh, and.
Roll stuff. Careful, careful iota. 18.
Oh. Yeah.
All right, so you switch across, I'm going to, I'm going to run
over there and I'm actually, I'm going to squirt some sanitizer
on them to Lube them up. Question mark.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you can Lube
Jeb Romeo D10. Great. 5.
Yes, you pass, Jeb. You are.
You are lubed. All right.
I'm just going to just going to open this up real slow like.
Get plus one to this. Where is my steel throw?
Is it under body? Yes, it is.
Yes, you unlock. Bent all right, let me let me
just let me get in here. I'm going to take a look and
then you come in after me once I once I see the ghost clear
sounds. Great, I walked out here for
now. Oh, there's a fork in the.
Oh, look. Oh, I couldn't come over here.
I could have seen you in the in the other room from this angle.
Well, that's good to know. There's nothing.
There's nothing down that way. But of this.
Oh, looks like there's another door, another, another hatch.
I'm just going to open this one. I think we're on that time.
Things are getting tense by the sound of this villain dialogue
villain monologue going on over there.
OK, I I'm going to squirt the latex gloves on my hands and
then I'm going to follow Jeddah. Oh wow, Iona's going an event.
I know, I know. It's a little musty in here.
You might want to put a mask on. OK, pull out a mask.
I'm not even going to argue whether you have one on you,
because it's Iona. OK, just.
And I just kind of crawl out and like slowly lower myself down on
the other side. I think this might be some sort
of oh Fisher oh, is this a is it a bed?
That's a bed I. Think we're in his bedroom?
Getting out of the way. Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry.
We're taking it all in. Is that a record player?
Oh, it's kind of nice. What?
What records he got?
Check his record collection and it is.
Also it is. Distracted as hell.
B and CTM music. Oh my God, the the boggles,
like, oh, look at this. They got, he's got.
Oh, well, all right. You know, not a lot of people
have heard of ancient dynasty. They ain't bad.
The only record that seems interesting to.
By Michael Jackson. No, there is a thriller sleeve
but no record. However you do find radar love
like golden era. Nice.
Radar Love by Gold Night. Hey, actually he's in pretty
good shape for being, what, probably 80 years old?
90 years old. He's very rich.
So you have discovered a very expensive record.
I will say it is fragile. So if you, if you have to tell
me if you're taking it or leaving it.
Oh, that never crossed Jeb's mind.
Is to. Is to to.
Just take it. He's just like.
No, that's pretty cool. Nice collection you got here.
Puts it back. I am a.
Lot good for him. Behind Jeb while he goes through
Doctor Glass's record collection.
It's is there any sort of computer or anything in this
room? There's a locked door to your
West. To the north there is a door
that leads to the balcony. There is a there is a a desk
with a built in computer in it, a closet and a bed all.
Right, I'm notoriously bad with computers, but Jeb, there is a
computer over here if. Oh.
Maybe you wanted to take a look at it.
I'm going to try this locked door.
Well, I I guess I could. Oh.
I don't know, I'm not really a computer guy myself, but I have
been trying to pay more attention to to what Retro's
been doing. Can't hurt, you know.
Couldn't. Hurt couldn't hurt in in the.
Least. He says as it surely will hurt.
You know what I feel like this is a pretty let me just think
here, what would Retro do? I feel like I would just take a
look at this basic tech and see what he can find out. 5 Which
button do I use to turn it on? You try and push a button and
unfortunately break the button and now the computer is harder
to use. Oh, man, these are, oh man, he,
he. This looks like a nice keyboard.
It's probably one of them mechanical ones.
And oh, he ain't going to be happy about that.
Well, well, maybe, maybe we should switch jobs because I I
just tried to unlock this and I did somehow roll -2.
Oh, out. That's a quick fail, yeah.
You can't be using. I can't use a toothpick.
Well, but a tooth, That's something.
I. Had.
Oh jeez. Retro Back in the other room,
Retro is walking across the room towards Doctor Glass.
That's part of the end of that conversation.
As you are walking towards it, you hear the door to your east
rattle and if you don't do something, Doctor Glass will
notice. I'm just going to keep keep his
eyes on me is the best thing. What is?
What is Doctor Glass wearing, actually?
Doctor Glass is wearing a long white trench coat.
Like a doctor's coat, but just as a trench coat.
Yeah, he looks like that. Oh, long white trench coat.
Well, long white medical trench coat.
Yes, green shirt, fuchsia tie. Fuchsia.
Tie, sunglasses, great pants with yellow stripes on them and
some pretty boring shoes. Not very fashionable for a
vampire. Have you said anything about
vampires? I.
Mean, I thought you were going that with your little tooth
problem. You've got there are you?
I mean, I, I, I can forgo checking over you if you, like I
said, you are too embarrassed by your obvious, you know,
ramshackle connections. Have you even looked over
yourself yet? Oh please roll something to
distract me from that door. I mean, obviously we, I can
already tell that part right there is miswired because I can
see slight sparking from it and obviously you must be ignoring
it because anybody can obviously hear it.
No, no, no, you don't understand.
It's not sparking, it's sparkling.
Spark. Well, I would need to inspect
that. He's one of those sparklers.
It's unfortunate. You can really tell at this time
of night, you know the twilight. Thank you.
Shut up. Don't put another.
I I just was watching on it so we.
Can't let him keep getting away with this.
Retro, you have successfully distracted Dr. Glass from the
door. What are you trying to do as you
get close to him? I just want to inspect his his
hand without, well, not only his handiwork, but the Ripper Dr.
and just kind of give him a look over.
Is that OK? You're all Persuasion 22.
He doesn't move, his two arms outstretched on either side of
the sofa. He continues to sit.
I'll just continue. I would just like to like open
up jacket see if like is there any other cyberwear I can like
kind of see that speaking out of any clothing Like what cyber
wear do I see? You rolled 31, so the you see
that in his trousers there's a slight indent where he's got
some kind of compartment in his leg.
Like the Volvo we found before? Yeah.
Gotcha. A bit like Mark Zeiger had when
he pulled a gun on Jeb. I'm.
Just going to like parse away kind of like peeking under like
at some of the clothing like this, his shirt like pull back
his collar a bit and you know, notice.
The distinctive metal housing around the back of his neck of
the sand division. As you get closer to it, his
emotions rise and you see it glow and pulse down his spine,
and he gives you a narrowed look.
Are you done? I'm.
Just do look. I'm just trying to do my best
and looking over. To be honest at the moment I'm
feeling somewhat embarrassed because I seem to be wrong.
It's so far looking pretty top notch.
Well, it feels fantastic. I I I would agree while he's
looking at me directly eye to eye contact wise and I've been
patting him down, I'd also like to sneak a incendiary grenade
into his pocket. OK.
You can try I. I pulled the pen already.
You can try, OK? You go to put it in his pocket,
and you swear his smile changes from one state to another in a
flash. It's like a a feeling of static
in the air and you look down at your hand and the grenade is in
your hand. Well, immediately throw it at
him. Do you hear that?
It sounds like maybe shit's about to go down.
Possibly. Should we rush out?
Did you hear like a like a Ting? You know, and and some like
buzzing, a little bit of buzzing.
A little bit of buzzing, a little bit of oh, oh not.
Twinkling. Yeah, but roll to break that
door open or unlock it, whatever you want to.
Do I imagine this is like the question I suppose is has the
has it, has the grenade exploded yet or not?
If it has, I'm busting it down. If it hasn't, then I'm going to
try to just like unlock it because I don't know what's
going on. Do you have open comms?
Are you hearing what's going on over the radio?
I did mention earlier I made fun of his villain monologue and so
I imagine yes open cause. So you know that you've just
heard retro say bullshit and then throw something.
Right. OK, OK.
And I'm like, oh, oh, all right, it's happening.
It's happening. Let go.
All right, I own myself. Athletics 18 yes you burst the
door open, boom it crashes open. It is.
It is also now you have you have Retro is standing right next to
Doctor Glass. Whoops.
In that small amount of time, Iona, before everything goes
down, as they say, did you do anything to the computer?
I'm going to say yes I did. I'm going to say I just tried to
restart it. Cool, yes that that happens.
His computer is very good, so it restarts fine.
Great. And then control alt delete.
You control alt delete. What are you trying to?
Do log in I suppose. Roll something for that.
Sure. Roll to see if you can guess his
mother's maiden name and his the name of his first pet.
Sure, I'm going to use deduction.
I am in his bedroom and there are pictures of his life around,
perhaps some documents. So I will deduce with a 21.
All of my all of my video game skills have told me that somehow
you can deduce the password of anybody if you're in their room.
You notice a very well kept photograph on the table.
And on the back. It is a framed photograph of a
woman. The photograph looks old because
of the fashion that it is in. This photograph was taken a long
time ago and underneath it a little metal plaque says the
word Wendy. Wendy I I type in Wendy.
We said. The E is a three though.
Yes, you are correct in doing that the that.
Wasn't deduction, that was just instinct.
There are there are a bunch of terribly organized files on the
desktop. He is very chaotic on his
computer. A lot of them are just
spreadsheets and invoices and various notes that make no
sense. However, there is a icon on the
desktop that says security. Security like click.
You click it and it tells you that three turrets are not
activated. Are not.
Currently. Is there a little cog in
settings where I can uninstall the software that the turrets
are connected to? Yes, yes.
There is, why not roll for it? Great.
I'm going to put some luck into it.
Great. I'm going to put three luck.
Sure. It's a 21 for education.
Does that include your +3? No 24. 2424 is defined inside
pagred as a incredible act. Well.
Done. Wow, that's literally.
Like a. Ceiling.
That is a very good role. Well done.
Yes, you managed to disable Roll Me AD 6.
Because you do not have a lot of time. 2.
All right, you managed to disable one of the turrets,
however you rolled so well it is the best turret.
Hell yeah. So you know that there are three
turrets somewhere in that room that are currently not
activated. And then you hear Jeb kick a
door open. Oh shit.
And. Then I really am throwing an
aid. Good.
It's kind of tinkle here and he's preaching and he's
clearing. I'm out of smoke grenades now.
So you throw a smoke grenade. All right, Retro, where do you
throw the incendiary grenade? In your hand.
I throw it underneath the couch. Oh, interesting, interesting.
All right, as well as try to roll myself backwards.
OK, roll evasion and brawling. Jeb.
Roll Brawling to throw your grenade.
OK. As you watch this cavalcade of
chaos happen before you, Vivi, you have anything to say before
you. Yeah, I just as this is all
happening, I look to Doctor Glass and I'm like, it didn't
have to be this way, but you chose.
You chose poorly. I'm sorry, Doctor Glass, this is
it. You chose.
You chose poorly. Chose violence.
It's time to die. So it's so nonchalant, by the
way, if you wouldn't mind. A cup of a Carpenter It's.
Time to die, motherfucker. OK, interesting.
And then. OK, OK, interesting.
Good. Yes.
It's never good when they see interesting.
Yeah, right. Remy rolled Invasion 16.
OK, and then you rolled 18 on Brawling.
OK, so retro. You step back from the sofa, but
not enough because you did not beat your own brawling.
You rolled an 18. Doctor Glass also did not roll
enough to avoid the incendiary grenade underneath the sofa.
However, they do have a sound division.
Yeah. So what happens is they do avoid
the direct blast, but get caught in the circumference of such an
explosion. Oh, the the force wave.
The force wave of this incendiary grenade as the sofa
itself bursts into flames. Oh boy.
Damn. Things are about to get crazy.
Both Retro and Doctor Glass are now on fire.
Oh no. And it is time to roll for
initiative. Initiative.
Initiative 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. Oh wow, Jeb.
Holy shit, yeah. Oh, I mean, Jeb also did throw
that smoke grenade. So then I.
Did. What results from that?
We'll get there, I'm sure. We'll get there.
And this explosion of fire goes off, it catches into the smoke
and you see this streak of red through the smoke that fills the
centre part of this room. So you see this cloud of smoke
in the Riddle middle of the room.
And it is in this moment as Jeb watches Retro and Doctor Glass
burn for incendiary. Ah, there we go inside of.
Bajillion damage. I don't think it's a lot OK
grenade. Just if you could just put the
the the damage of the grenade also in that, that would help.
Oh, for me. Are you talking to R Talsorian
right now? I'm.
Talking to Al Talsorian, right? Now to Mr. R Talsorian.
Yes. To Robert Talsorian.
Indeed it's. Well, the wiki sentence 66 and
two damage each round until put out.
Yep, thank you. However, it is partial for both
of you, so I'm going to say 3D6 OK, because you both did
partially get out of it. And the couch took the brunt of
it. The couch did take the brunt of
it, and it is now on fire. So there is now a problem.
A flaming couch. Yeah, there is a flaming red
couch. Couch is red.
That way the blood stains don't have a problem.
OK, nine damage for Doctor Glass and he is now on fire.
That's the same for me as well, yeah.
No, you roll your own. Oh, oh God.
Oh God, this is 13 damage. And your armour, because it is
fire, it's ablated by two. So it's Doctor Glasses, by the
way. Fuck.
And and it is gemstone. Jay was going to, you know,
after buffing down the door, throwing that smoke grenade over
there. He's going to just run over.
He's going to, there's this table here.
Can I can I kick that down to use this cover?
Yes, but only if you roll athletics.
OK, I guess I can do that. Oh no, you cannot.
You're trying maybe? It's it's a very flab of.
Concrete mixture of both and you go to lift it up and it does
nothing. The unfortunate the unfortunate
side effect of this is that you do not gain any cover and you
hurt yourself by touching this concrete table very quickly for
six damage. Oh.
Mate, oh so good. Oh man, got to sprain my ankle.
They're trying to kick this thing.
Where? Who's this thing made out of
solid concrete? Oh shit, it is.
Yeah, no, that's made of solid. You can tell because of the
texture and the way it looks and the fact that it is Gray.
Yeah, OK. I there, there's a lot going on
right now, Van Dale. I don't need to hear from you.
Bang Bang. Who are you shooting?
Oh, him I see. Roll for it.
Bang Bang, Bang Bang, Doctor. Glass F8.
Damn. Getting hit the first hit by the
1st bullet because you rolled a 25 and a 28?
Holy Moly tries to avoid both, but unfortunately takes hits
your first. Your first shot does hurt him,
he takes a decent hit. You watch some of the blood pour
from his side as the embers of the fire around his body starts
to dwindle as he gets to a position of about to roll over.
However, your second shot does not 'cause enough damage and it
glints off some of his armor doing nothing.
Well, sheer. Who is this guy?
Fucking immortal or some bullshit.
He has a lot of cyberwear and SN devaston, so we we should
probably think of some other strategies.
He's pretty good. Are you OK Retro?
Retro is currently on fire. Stop, drop and roll.
Oh that's why I asked to roll back because I was pretty sure I
was kept on fire. But we'll see how the DF rolls
it. I'm going to tell you all I have
to now roll to see if the next thing that happens can happen.
Oh, it can't. That's a one.
It's a one with a -, 7 So because of the fire that's
happening, you watch him try and reach into his pocket to grab
something and he is unable to. You have a suspicion that he had
some aid in mind that he does not have the ability to activate
right now and it is Metroster. Well first I would like to ask,
did my saying I was rolling back after that count as being able
to help put out the fire when that happens or do I still need
to do that? Like putting out the fire, does
that require my action? It requires your movement
because I would argue if you burn all of your movement I will
let you put the fire out. Be warned, if you agree to this
I will give that same thing to any NPC.
OK, your movement wise, I just have to burn it all, that's all
right. Yeah, you burn you.
You will move one square away from the fire in order to do so,
but you will burn it all. Yes.
OK, so I can only move one square.
Yes. All right, I will use that to
roll my ass to behind the the couch here.
Because there are three couches in this living room.
The one that was next to the on fire because I just moved
diagonally. And now that you have rolled the
fire off yourself, you pat yourself down and you are merely
singed. You do not take any more damage
because that was the first thing you did on your turn.
We fucked up my suit though. Yes, yes it did.
Luckily it's not your regular wear.
No, it's not my really good suit.
Though no it is not. It is costume piece.
Yeah, and the fun's over now. That's why I'm not using the
voice anymore. Unfortunately.
If there's something else, then I'm just going to have to take a
shot. 23 All right, let's have a look.
See I. Think that's within range?
Yep, and OH tries to dodge and fails, jumps up onto the dining
table, but you still manage to hit him for 16 damage, which is
enough and he takes a decent hit.
Well, well, I have to give credit to Jeb about that because
Jeb has been, as I've been teaching him some technological
stuff, Jeb has also been teaching me to track somebody
moving, moving and try to shoot ahead of where you think they're
going to be. Now usually the bullet moves
pretty fast, but with slow moving, slower moving
projectiles, you're going to want to leave that shot.
This is a This is a flashback of us shooting cans on a conveyor
belt and an abandoned like, sushi restaurant, you know, that
has the little thing that goes around.
That's a basic. I remember that place, it was
really good before they closed down for health violations.
And while Jeb and Retro reminisce about shooting cans in
Night City, Iona is sitting at the doorway to Doctor Glass's
bedroom, peering out to the battle that's ensuing.
What do you do, Iona? Doctor Glass is unaware that I
am there. I'm.
Going to say yes. They are unaware that you are
there. Great.
I'm going to shoot at him because I think that I should
get some sort of sneak attack bonus or something.
You are quite far away from him. He's in.
He's in the middle of the room in front of you.
In order to get a decent shot, you'd have to slide into the
room a little bit. I'll slide into the room a
little bit and I'll take my shot.
Cool, I'm going to take this as a surprise attack.
Your move is 6. Great.
Yeah, you, you managed to get behind the sofa next to VV
passing Vendel and you have a clear shot.
That's only 25 feet. How does 21 do for you?
21 does the chestnut what? What are you shooting?
It's the one with 46 I believe. That's the Super Chrome.
Yeah, you rolled a 21. That is enough.
You you hit him as long as he doesn't evade.
Fingers crossed. Don't evade, Don't evade, don't
evade. He pulls back off the table.
Roll damage. Great shot Iona 46.
Great. Oh yeah, OK, that is 15 plus
handgun. I don't know what my handgun is.
No, no damage is just straight D sixes.
Oh yeah, never mind, that's 15. 15 did you get 2 sixes?
I did. You did.
I did. That is a critical injury,
everybody. Nice, get him. 2D6.
I've got that stand a busy. A3 and A58.
You watch him fall to the ground and as he tries to break his own
fall his leg goes down weird and you hear a snap in his lower
femur and he lies on the ground like.
Great show ad. Told you some of that shit was
shoddy. And Supercrumb only shoots once.
Yep. And so Vivi, right next to you,
takes her action. Oh boy.
Well, I suppose I'm also going to take a shot at him.
I hope it lands because he's going to be fast and speedy.
But now he has a broken leg, so good job Iona.
Thank you, thank you. I don't usually make my shots,
so that felt good. All right, I'm going to shoot.
Pull out this Andrew. Hello Cutie Ultricate assault
pistol and take the shot. 21 Your damage, as always, is
pants. I'm really sorry.
I know. He attempts to roll.
Now, the only reason he's able to do this with a broken leg is
because he has a sand division, so he attempts to roll sideways
to avoid the bullet rolling a 23.
The bullet flies past him and hits the glass behind him.
It shatters into a spider as your bullet sticks into the
bulletproof glass. You can shoot twice with that
gun. I can.
Let's try again. 21 again, great shot, really good, better damage
too. He goes to avoid rolling a 17.
He doesn't quite get it right, he gets hit in the side. 49
damage which is above his armor and he does take damage.
Your shot is successful. Do you do anything else with
your turn because you still haven't moved?
There. Yeah.
I think I'm going to just move closer toward him, believe it or
not. Oh, right.
I don't know if I can vault over the I vault over the couch and
take a few steps toward him. Hell yeah, I'll just let you do
that. That's dope.
After then six after that successful bullet, you have the
confidence to lightly jump over a sofa and you're now standing
in the middle of the room pointing at him as he lies on
the ground. However, I.
Know. Doctor Glass's turn and he looks
up at you and with a grimace resets his leg.
You see blood pour into his trouser leg as it seeps in.
There's a cracking noise, this feeling of flesh.
The glass stands up and you see him place his foot down, and now
he can take all of his weight on both legs.
He somehow miraculously healed himself.
Oh. Shit.
As I told you, that blood was exquisite.
He flexes very suddenly and out some compartments on his legs,
ripping through his trousers. I will admit as he has now
rolled around on the ground enough to not be on fire. 3 tiny
robots. They flutter out of him and they
have little bat wings. I made them custom, I thought it
was fitting. Thematic.
Yeah, really leaning into the whole I guess vibe, huh?
Oh yes, it keeps. Quite corny actually.
He pulls out a dart gun and points it at Jeb, firing.
Oh shit. CBB when you when you mess
around with with that body fool bite, this is what happens.
This is how you get vampires. Is this what you wanted to get
vampires? No, this is not.
This is not what I wanted, no. Jab be at 15.
Puts a finger up. Folks confused, slightly happy.
And they had. Whoa shit.
What the hell was that? Was that a Was that a fucking
dart? What's in that dark?
Hey, you got to tell me what was in that dark.
No, just something to life in the mood.
I don't lie the way you said that.
It clinks in the ground and and breaks.
That's a little weird. The toxin inside seeps into the
ground and lets off a little hiss.
That so? So it was acid then?
Would somebody kill this guy please?
Dodge an 18 guys. I.
You're shooting me again. You just did that, man.
Come on. I'm going to.
I'm going to get below. I'm going to get on the
underside of this table and then it's going to be real hard to
hit me. Maybe you can jump over the side
of this couch. I'm standing next to you.
Then how will you feel? And then there's a green flash
and you see a gust of wind move through the room as you feel
that static in the air. He does, however, dash through
the smoke, and by doing so dissipates it completely.
For some of you, Doctor Glass is in full cover.
For others, he is not, and it is Fendel's turn.
Gang, I really think we're going to have to come up with a
different plan here. He's going to heal himself, and
this is not going to be as easy as we think.
He serves that. He's faster than us, he's
stronger than us. I don't, I don't know what to
do. Well, I mean, we could keep
shooting them or maybe we got to like.
We need some sort of. Fire.
We did that. We need some sort of like wombo
combo, something like we can do all at once.
Can we like RIP his head off or something?
That I've seen that work sometimes on vampires and other
times you got to get them right in the heart.
Other times flowing water sometimes will do it.
Garlic sometimes does it. Holy symbol.
Sometimes somehow I feel like that one ain't gonna work.
I like the Highlander approach. I like the head, like, is that
right? The Highlander approaches.
Yeah, you have. The person's head off to take
the. I I also like the head approach.
We take his head. BMI have a question when I
inspected said doctor beforehand, did I notice that
Like he was pretty like firm thought like like he had he was
much dense, he was very dense or did he still feel very human
esque like soft, fleshy? With the amount of cyberwear
that he had, you're surprised that he even has basic
cognizance. He's teetering on the edge of
cyber psychosis. I I think he's already fallen
over the edge of cyber. OK, I was just, I was trying to
figure out if this is our like dealing with, you know, the
like, more fantasy lore vampires where they're like very stout
and vulnerable, or if we're dealing with like done by Dusk
vampires where they're like squishier and like a baseball
bat could knock a head off. The sound division is made of
metal. It goes up his the back of his
neck. That's going to be tough to
breakthrough with a baseball bat.
Then that somebody rips it out. Yeah.
Unless somebody rips it out. Does that answer your question?
Yes, cool. What does Vendel do?
Well, I, I guess, do we think Vendel can grapple and somebody
can who's who's next in initiative?
Vendel. No, after Vendel.
Jeb. Jeb.
Sure, Vendel, why don't you grapple him and then we can RIP
the Sandovizian out of his neck. Do do you want me to take the
bat bots first or shall I go for him?
Oh yeah, kick down those bat bots, Yeah.
You got it. And then and then Dell jumps
across the room onto the table and goes to attack the bat bots
glass sword. We're just, we're just gonna do
brawling. We're just gonna do kicks.
Sure. That's going to be 22. 22.
Yes. Yes, that is very good.
I need you to roll that again. 19. 19 OK Oh, that's bad.
Oh, that's nothing. All right, so we we we have
three different kinds of things happen.
Bendel jumps over to where these bots are floating and in a
moment of skill misses one of them which scooches back towards
Doctor Glass. But the other one failed their
role and the third one rolled A crit fail.
So Vendel smacks them into each other causing oh that's really
good, that's OK and excellent. Yes very good.
That's enough to blow up one of them and one of them explodes.
The other one is blow half health and is now having trouble
flying. You watch it sort of, where as
it gets to a much lower hovering position.
Good job pindo fuck. Yeah, I did a thing.
He's a pretty Hardy motherfucker, yes.
I'm like 10 points away from seriously wounded.
Oh no. Well.
The 13 in a blast is not good. No, it's not.
And after this heroic moment, with Vendel now standing on the
dining room table, it is once again Jeb's turn.
Well, you know, I suppose we should get rid of the things
that we can get rid of before we figure out how to get rid of the
bigger guy who we're having trouble getting rid of.
So I'm going to Bang, Bang these two dual drones, yes.
Sure, roll for it. 28 and 24 they are robots so they don't
get to dodge and one of them has 11 health so it explodes.
Yep. Chip and you watch it disappear
from the field. The other one is still holding
on with just a little bit of health, again floating very low.
Well, at least you took care of one of them.
Someone should get rid of that last one. 2 down, one to go.
And it's retro step, yeah. I would like this is also right
here Is outside right? Or is that a wall about the that
is the inner balcony that is technically still inside the
building In front of you there's a a indoor piece of glass, a
decorative one on the other side.
It is shattered because VB shot it.
Oh, so I can't go through it? It's bulletproof.
You know that because VB's bullet didn't didn't break it to
the ground. It's just OK spidered.
I'm going to make my way to the window.
Make it your. Way I'm going to quit my brass
knuckle and then I'm going to pull my pants down over my ass
and moon the Doctor through the glass.
Oh my God, roll a performance check that's really funny.
That's not the only full moon you've seen tonight.
Oh my. God.
Did I do a funny? Was it good?
It was pretty good. Yeah, I'll give you that one.
Thanks, Jeff. I I guess acting this is only
acting in performance. Yeah, you, I mean also in
theory, contortionist. Oh yeah, let's go.
Fortunate because I got that shipped so I get a + 2 + 4.
That's still a 12. That's not bad.
It's literally above average, right?
That's not. It's.
Mildly distracted. It's a waxing moon, really.
It's a waxing moon and now what are you holding?
Your attack action? Is that what you're?
Doing yes I am. Iona, behind the sofa, takes a
moment to decide her next move. I mean, I've got him thoroughly
distracted. Guys, come on.
I got 2 pressed hands here that he cannot keep his eyes off of.
Yeah, you know what? I've I've been shooting him
pretty good, so I will. I'm actually going to hold my
shot. If he.
Turns around while then Dallas trying to grapple.
Done. Fair enough, Iona use skirt
across the room so you have a better angle at Doctor Glass.
Perfect off on the sofa. You couldn't quite see him very
well, and you use all your movement to do so, prepping your
gun against the edge of this dining room table, and Vivi
takes her action. Do I take out the second drone
here? All right, I'm going to take my
movement toward him. Excellent and I am going to try
to stun him. So I switched to I have AI have
a stun baton and a stun gun. I don't know where I got the
stun baton from. That's a long time ago.
Probably Chad. Probably I'm just trying to see
what does more. Which is more likely stun?
Gun you can do from a distance. Stun baton.
You'd have to get into melee range with this guy.
Yeah, that's kind of scary. I think I'll keep my distance
here and pull out my stun gun and try to shoot Tim Fair.
Roll for it 22 Holy shit damn holy moly you will accept.
That's really good. Oh, I I should draw it on the
sheet? I'm sure he'll somehow resist
this. Yeah, but it's got red fire too.
That's true. That's true.
That's. Bad.
It rolls in 18 trying to avoid you.
He steps wrong and gets hit by the Taser.
So you cause 7 electrical damage?
Cyberwear. What about cyberwear?
I'm actually going to say it causes more damage than your
average human. So instead of 3D6 I want you to
roll. Wow, Tracy, that's two threes
and A2. Damn, my damaged dice are always
shitty. Your damaged dice are always
shitty, however in this moment they are not going to be.
I would like you to roll two more D6 because he has a lot of
internal cyberweight, adding seven to that roll for a total
of 14 damage. It does not blade armor because
it is electrical damage. But you do do do do do.
But you do do do damage. But you do do damage, is what
I'm saying. You watch him go underneath half
health. You're a medical professional,
You know what that means? And he puts his hand down and
there's an errant scalpel from his very close operating area
here at the very top of his apartment, and it goes straight
through his hand. Fuck.
All right, he's not looking good.
Someone smash. Someone grab.
OK, I guess I can grab. Not too good at smashing.
You will get to grab when it's your turn, Jeb.
I'm just saying that I'll be the grab and not the smashing.
Right now, it is not your turn. It is Doctor Blase's turn.
And what he's going to do is instead of moving, he's going to
pull this scalpel out of his hand.
You hear the flesh and blood spurt forward in front of him.
Jeb, roll. Resist torture drugs.
Oh boy. Takes the scalpel and he throws
it at VV. Oh Lord.
Throwing knife. OK, whoa.
There it is. Roll Evasion VV18I rolled.
It's a four. That's enough.
You're lucky I only needed one more.
The scalpel goes flying past you and sticks into the table next
to Bendel. Oh shit.
Holy shit. And he lunges towards you with
his wolvers. Oh.
God. As he makes his lunge since I
said I wanted to hold my action. Sure.
Oh, can I use the rest of my movement to run and tackle?
Yes, but you have to beat his attack.
OK, and if I fail it's because I forgot to pull my pants back up.
That is hilarious. Out of his fingers come these
blades. Fingernails.
Not bad. You can definitely avoid that.
I think there there's still the possibility there.
VV beat a 14, did not roll well. The first swipe misses.
Retro rolled 19. So what's really cool is you
both avoid this attack. He goes in with his Wolvers to
slash at Vivi. Vivi expertly takes a little
step back and bumps into the bat Robot whoops you on the back of
the head. Doesn't hurt you, it's just
spreading and Retro jumps forward to grab Doctor Glass
from behind. Put a roll of brawling trip
there. He's not, yeah, not enough.
And he doesn't get free from your grasp.
You've now held him from behind. Wait, who's who's holding?
He's going to be doing the holding.
I tackled Dr. Glass as he was trying because I helped my
action when I moved in with my ass.
All right, I guess I'll do the smashing then.
I know it's on my turn. I'm just.
It's Vandel's time. Can Vandel assist in the
holding? Go go for the knees.
Wait, no, open his jaw. I.
Thought I was ripping its spine out.
Why the hell he'd be fine? Not a.
Sword but. Maybe he'd be sword.
I'm just saying maybe you could like open up his jaw a little
bit and I could shovel frag grenade in there.
You. Know what?
Yeah, but they'll just just. Just stick.
The the the Then they'll stick the the sword through the neck.
You got it. Gets 23 bitch.
He gets a -1 because he is grappled.
Oh, that's funny. They meet.
Oh no. And the sword goes into Doctor
Glass's neck, and it goes through his neck by passing his
windpipe and clinks into the sand.
Divisia. You hear hiss.
Dr. Glass's body gets covered in this overcharge of electricity.
Retro that's not good for him Yeah, you take 9 electrical
damage and let go of him. Oh, this is Glass falls forward.
Retro, you fall backwards. You are singed.
As you know from Tracy's attack, you cannot gain a critical
injury from electrical damage according to the step block, so
you are merely just prone on the ground.
Bendel takes their second hit. Now fuck be a 16 bitch.
He gets -2 to this because his health is very low.
Buck. Hold on, I would like to use one
of my inspirations. Oh.
To make that big last reroll. OK, well I just rolled a crit 30
so that is a good choice 17. Much more manageable.
I tried.
Because also, I said -2 didn't I?
So that's seven. That's, that's enough.
Vendel beats Doctor Glass and with him on the ground, swipes
their sword across his neck and pulls at the sand of Vizier.
He screams from the ground as the sand of Vizier is slowly
pulled from his body, the bolts pulling out of his skin.
Then Del finishes off by slicing around the neck and holding it
straight up to his very jaw. There's a moment where he looks
into Vivi's eyes. He smiles.
I'll always feed the monster you create.
Shut the fuck up. Vivi's a good person.
And then Bendel puts the sword through the chest and clinks it,
and then offers the end of the sword to Vivi.
Through his heart, Vivi with the back, through the metal and the
bone. You hear the sound of Doctor
Glass's flesh coming back together.
You have moments to do this. Vivi is trembling actually in
this moment, those words just sting in her ears for a second.
But Vendel's words, I think, bring her back to a reality that
she has just a few seconds to do this.
So Phoebe takes the sword from Vendel and stabs through his
heart and just with the edge of her heel of her foot pushes it
and seals it all the way through.
The sword digs through Doctor glass, pinning him to the
ground. Blood pours out of his mouth and
out of his back. He's covered in wounds.
Parts of the sound of is still attached to him spark and
render, and eventually all that's left is a trembling hand.
You're unsure if he's doing it or if it's just a leftover
response, but it continues to knock on the ground, knock,
knock and stops. Well, looks like the eternal
life really had a limited time offer on it.
In this silence of retro, says this poignant line, the bat bot
wavers in the air and falls to the ground, obviously supported
by Doctor Glass's cyberware, causing a mild explosion behind
VB, shocking everyone, kind of ruining the mood.
Oh, oh, so so we be is your is your Batman a wood?
No, it's a regular steel bat, not a wooden bat.
Are you sure we shouldn't like I don't know anyone, anyone got
like a like a stick or something, you know, just
something wooden. I feel like, you know, wooden
stake through the hearts. He's that.
Champ always Sure, we've double checked.
I take my combat shovel and just finish cutting the rest of the
head off. It's very difficult, and of
course there's a chip in the in the corner of your combat
shovel, but I'll let you do it for free.
Yeah. You say, you say Chip.
I call that battle Scar. Character.
So now there's a bite at the tip of your combat shovel.
Double S name. Now it's.
Bite oh that's good that's good. You kind of scratch that into
the into the spade. That's nice.
Well, I guess the city's down a an asshole, but I actually think
we got some time to go back to that Halloween party.
What do you think? I mean.
Maybe we should. Celebrate at the bar.
Yeah, I. Might want to.
I'm almost seriously wounded, so I think I need a nap.
I'm ready to just go back. Well, you know, I actually
haven't ever, you know, I've either been living out of Vanna
White or, or at the bar. And of course, you know, we
never get any trick or treaters at the bar because it's kind of,
you know, faux pas for children to enter a bar.
But I've always been curious of as to the whole trick or
treating thing. And I never got to hand out USB
sticks to kids as is tradition, of course.
I thought if any of you guys got, you know, a house or
apartment or something to do, you think maybe I could do some
trick or treating? Sure, Jeff, you can come to my
place and we can. Well, hold on, I'm going to.
VV lives in a nicer area. We can.
We can make that. Well they do live in a nicer
area, that's to be fair. They probably have better candy
than. Can we go to your apartment and
give out candy maybe like. Yeah, actually that sounds nice.
I'm going to take some of the the scraps of the burning couch
that's just smoldering, OK, and use that on half of my suit.
OK. And I'm going to change the face
on my my TV face to now look like A2 face from Batman.
Amazing. I knew you were doing Harvey.
Then I knew it. Well, my suit got fucked up, so
how else am I going to? What else am I going to have for
costume? It's a nice pivot.
The other, the other pivot I'm getting at is that like, there's
a lot of blood here, Jabrol resist torture drugs, and maybe
it's time we shed a little life instead.
Yes, you pass. Well, you know, as a disgusting
and sort of, you know, thematic, I suppose today I'm not going to
drink that blood off the ground. Instead, I just want to.
I just want to curl up, maybe have a nice little spiked cup of
hot cider with my friends and hand out definitely not
poisonous candy to random children on the street.
Sounds good, Jeb. Yeah, because Two's the season.
It's the reason for the season. Next time on no latency.
Wow. Well meow, they look good.
Do you have 4 ears now or? Go go, go get some therapy.
This. Is my therapy.
Ketamine Therapy. He sounds maybe problematic.
He didn't know. It doesn't have the jamming
problem I. Don't think we'd do that.
I mean we at least give it some sight and then decide to kill
it. It's true, a lot of people in
Height city are just very hostile.
Not city universe. Library trip.
My reading comprehension isn't super high to be honest with
y'all but. Sorry, I was polishing my Canon,
I didn't know what what's going. On we just pay our fees.
We should probably pay our fines to the library anyway.
Got to respect the school rules. I respect institute.
My old stomping grounds. Let's see what's changed.
Rolling like fire tonight. You checked out the Gutenberg
Pop A. Cleaning fee excuse.
Me some sort of protest? Why would you put duct tape over
your mouth if you were going to respond to questions, Yeah.
Why tie yourself to the bench if you're going to fight the man?
He's the Dean. He went from professor to Dean.
