A moment of rest, a moment of respite, a moment of reprieve
for the Tedvillians as their trials in the Green Brook Mall
reach a fever pitch. One last moment to prepare
before challenging the Wizard to his final deadly game and
recovering all they came here for.
Piddles past route and most of all the life giving machine that
will return the flow of clean water to the citizens of
Tedville. I'm Q and this is Wasteland
Pirate Radio WPR bringing you the uncut airwaves from the
blasted wastelands. OK, we're going to dive on in.
We, we're back to the behind the, the, the liminal space in
between in between the game. We've got Branch.
We've completed all of the trials now we've got all of the
keys and you know, we're just getting back in between the in
between space so that we can assess and move forward.
Branch unconscious and in critical state and still
physically abnormal, right? Deformed in some form or fashion
from whatever drugs or gas or whatever he had been subjected
to in that time. Still just big, bulky and like
bulbous and excessively so. But yeah, we're just, we do.
We basically just got back in into that in between space.
Completed the games, got the keys.
Yeah. Our question is, if you had one
condiment for the rest of your life, what would it be?
And we're going to dive on in and we can answer any questions
in for anyone that may have them.
Yeah, I mean, hey everyone, I'm Theodore Stringer and I play
dill and I I don't really fuck with condiments very much.
And so I'm trying to sort of expand, broaden what what
counts. I'm wondering if eel sauce for
sushi, is that a condiment? Is that a sauce?
I think that could qualify. It's up to you the the.
Caesar salad dressing is not a condom.
What if it's your chosen? I think.
What if you wanted it on your burgers?
What if that was your chosen sauce?
Yeah, here's the thing though, is that I feel like a a burger
or if you tip Caesar salad dressing and you try and like
kneaded it into the ground beef, that might slap something.
Not a condiment. Still.
I think if I was going to go like straight out condiment,
condiment on the on the picnic table or whatever, I think honey
mustard. I like honey mustard.
I wish I had awoken to honey mustard earlier on in my life.
So Kenneth said it's tasty, it is good.
We should before we dive on. In Wait a minute.
Wait. Hey, wait.
What's yours? You.
You I didn't even say welcome to
the the podcast. You just dove on in.
We always do a little like forward for us the the people I
hear I. Thought we would finish doing
that. Yeah.
So welcome back to Doug. Leave all this and no, I'm
going. To place mine back in no.
No, no, it's perfect as is my condiment.
Just because we already did the catch up, we already did all the
business. I'll just it'll be perfectly
lined up there, no changes at all like usual.
My condiment and I thought I have the answer.
My my seesaw is of mustard honey or I think normal mustard
because I think I could figure out if I only had it forever,
how to make a sweet version like honey mustard.
It wouldn't be honey mustard, but I think I could sweeten it
and make a passable replacement for specifically honey mustard
if I had mustard. So Mustard's a great option.
Maybe a brown mustard though. But I still think the answer is
mayonnaise. I think mayonnaise is it goes so
far and you can turn it into anything.
You can add anything to it. It's like a a binder.
It's a cream. It's I think you just go so far
with it. It's not something I would want
to like. I guess I don't think of this in
terms of what I put on the table at the BBQ, but it's just it.
You can use it in cooking. You can use it at across many
things and I just I think it makes the most sense to me.
Predictably, you're correct. Danny is still gross.
Yeah, I may have. I got it.
I may have the the number 1.5 option here.
My name is Lawrence and I play the Delucas Chophouse answering
machine. Press one for fun.
And my answer to this question is sour cream. 100% no reaction
light work. Sour cream all the way for
extremely similar reasons to mayonnaise.
Like I don't eat a lot of like sandwiches.
If I eat a lot of sandwiches, I'm choosing.
Mayonnaise on. Sammy's I can do without an
aioli because I I can do sour cream and you just mix stuff in.
I was. Going to say you can make a sour
cream aioli. Yep, maybe 100.
Percent. Maybe it's good that my camera
doesn't work so you can't see the absolute revulsion on my
face. Hey, I wish your camera did work
for exactly that reason. I need it for that reason.
All right. And on that note, I am Michael
and I play spigot and I took a very different tactic to
condiments. And my favorite meal of the day
is breakfast. And my breakfast condiment, sort
of stretching the word is Nutella.
I could live without ketchup. I could live without honey
mustard. But if I'm going to have bread,
there better be Nutella. Include spreads in there.
I don't know that I use mayonnaise because that would
take out peanut butter for me. Yeah, and that butter is a good.
Peanut butter is good, Nutella's better for me.
It's more flavorful, but I think you like.
Do you want? Like a Nutella or just Currier?
You know, like you're taking out the like Indian peanut butter
vibe. Does that hit with Nutella now?
I'm just curious. I feel like you're trying to not
a challenge. I'm very curious about Nutella.
That's why I specifically went the breakfast route it sounds.
To me, like the two of you are trying to answer different
questions, it seems like M's answering like what can I get
the most utility out of? What's my best condiment for
utility, which I think if we're, if we're opening the breakfast
condiment scene, dark horse is cream cheese.
I think you can get a lot of utility out of cream cheese.
Yeah, yeah, cream cheese is a worthy runner up for me.
Salad, but Mike's answering just like what the best one is, which
also valid I don't think. I don't know how many uses I can
actually get out of honeymoon, it just tasty.
A good dip for most things. Well.
I guess at least me. My name is Grace Stringer and I
play pedal and I was raised in the same household and also
don't really like condiments breads.
We were a dry sandwich family. If we did, we eat a lot of
sandwiches. No, I mean I don't even like PB
and Ji don't like I don't like cheese.
Like I just the things I don't like are very sauce around.
I'm going to say I like Buffalo sauce.
I like it with fries and like it on a sandwich.
Sometimes it's. Hot sauce?
A condiment? I guess so.
If he can say Nutella, I can say hot sauce.
I did not say that word you just said.
I said Nutella very specifically because it's made with nuts, not
with newts. 00. No nuts.
No. Name one thing made with newts.
I'm obsessed. Witches, potions and spells.
Or at. Least how many is it?
Eye of Newt? Just like a peppercorn.
You can't get eye of Newt without wasting a couple newts,
I got to say. Mike had that one loaded.
I was. In the chamber, just ready.
OK, if Buffalo sauce is allowed then I like Buffalo sauce.
What if it's? Not yeah, yeah.
I don't let I I mean, there are a few condiments that I like.
I don't like sour cream or mustard or Mayo or cream cheese
or cottage cheese or cheese in general or cheese in general to.
Me is the one mustard statement. You know what?
And yet, here I sit. There's a world of flavor in
cheese. It's like someone saying that
they don't like pizza. Like, come on now, you maybe
don't like pepperoni pizza, but let's talk there.
Are tons of people that don't that can't have cheese?
This is just I choose not to for I don't like.
Can't have cheese todo. We're not going to argue with
can't have cheese, Yeah. I'm not Am I arguing with their
allergies? I'm saying.
Because I don't like it. I feel like this makes sense as
a. Broad scope is like, there's so
much, there's so much to cheese. Get over it, I don't have to
tell you don't want cheese. That's.
Hard to fathom they're the rest of us cheese lovers.
It's fair, it's wrong, but I didn't feel like this was a
cheese podcast. I'm not really that passionate.
You know cheese is cool. Cheese is cool.
That's a T-shirt right there. Welcome back to our Cheese
Lovers podcast, My Name. Is hell.
I hate them. I hate cheese except for harm.
Harm is cool and maybe an occasional Gouda.
Hold the fucking phones. So they're OK.
Cool. Cheese cast begin.
Yeah. That's it.
Next season is a cheese based podcast, so we're going to get
through an adventure based only on cheese.
But for now. We get 200 patrons on Patreon
throw down on a on a cheese cast just for you guys.
It'll be at the Gouda time. The time we're having now
though, we've sort of explained we've we've gotten out of the
games, we're back into the back rooms, we're moving fast.
Most of us are pretty injured, if not like outwardly bleeding,
definitely on the inside, lungs hurt, coughing up some blood
here or there, or we've been in big fights and have just taken.
I mean really, everyone's taken lots of damage all around.
Still heals up a bit at the beginning of sessions.
Maybe. Maybe pedal?
Has still kind of a stinking Bishop time for sure.
Though I don't think pedal has. See him is also.
Any damage is not true. I think you took some psychic
damage from them, Ghost. Freaking and squeaking.
Was that only spigot? I thought it was just I I
withstood. I was strong.
Damn. Okay, well, pedals fine.
Just belt different. I don't.
Know that's true that's true pedal one okay well we are out
of our third game. We have taken out the bully
though I'll say Murderbot took out the bully.
You guys did your bits sent Murderbot down a vent and then
heard no more drippy voice and the poison kind of stopped after
you heard some gunfire down the vent.
Just sent Murderbot into the little secret base of the boss
and torched him and dragged his ass out and then you guys sort
of looked at each other and shrugged as you all as through
Dill's eyes. I guess all turned back into
yourselves because Dill had spin to episode with many branches in
this room. But as it faded to black, even
though that took a little bit longer than maybe it should
have, you guys escaped and back into the liminal space and are
moving quick down the hallways using pollen as your guide,
turns corners, staircases, turn around, back up, back down,
etcetera, etcetera, until you come to a frosted glass sliding
door that as you approach, just slides seamlessly into the walls
next to it. And you folks find yourself, I
think, entering in the same door you did the very first time you
entered into this space. Like same hall, right?
Short hallway leading up. You see little Dome of light
kind of cutting out from the hall up above and to the what
would be your left right there. You see like what would be the
courtyard, right? There's some Escher style
staircases up and down that lead to themselves and whatnot.
But we hustled Branch up the hall and into the food court,
where Holland and Twiggy are quick to react and get him on
the Gurney table and start, you know, applying the Ivs and a
normal oxygen mask. And the general, I guess they
probably strap him down, too, with like, some leather straps
just to make sure that he's not still in this aggressive mode.
We have a moment of rest here and access to an Angel.
So let's, I think, focus on that bat and also Pedal's vision
role. I think I've avoided that enough
sessions, yeah. Yeah.
Then it's time to also pick some stats.
It's time Gabe is due. Gabe calls for a stat pick.
I would agree that I think we've let Gabe have not as good stats
for him long enough. I said I also vote.
Let's. Just have stock is hot for quite
a while. Just avoid in general, then
let's do that first before pedal rolls for Visions.
I even tried. No, you did.
I have a question. It was a key factor in Grant and
Branch passing out the the group hot roll.
It's been so long. What what is my do I what stat
do it is visions, but do I add add to that?
It's been so long I kind of forget.
On legend keeper one second it will be roll plus cool, but
let's pick stats first because you make an extra.
Experience. If it's checked right starting
at the top. Now I don't remember exactly how
to do this. They pick one and you pick one.
My history picks the picks a stat that is the most
interesting and then M the GM also picks one.
Who has your highest history Dil?
It's a tie. It's a tie between D Ham and
Spigot. And you pick.
I think it's been spigot for like a while now, so we're going
to hand it to D Ham. That makes sense after what
we're coming out of. Now I could pick hot right here,
but I think instead I'm going to choose.
Hard, all right, Hard is cool, hard is cool, and cool is cool.
Hard is not cool. Hard is a different stat.
You pick hard, but I pick cool.
So hard and cool are both cool, OK, hard and.
Cool, there it is. You played it cool.
You were hard during this last event.
Nice. D Ham, who do you have highest
history with? Bill.
Oh, maybe there's a stat that I'm not allowed to pick that
you. I don't remember what it is, so
I'm going to pick weird gracias. OK, good.
Cool. I'm not picking cool, I'm just
saying cool. To that I believe that cool is
the is the wrong one. It sure is.
It's the stat that I literally could not use.
According to my class, yeah. I think he should be hot and
weird now. Hot and weird, You know Daddy D
Ham's got a He's got to take care you can do.
It better than I I couldn't figure it out but maybe you can
make hot weird work. If I and another character have
sex, they automatically speak to me as if.
Oh, if I if I have another character have sex, I give them
one of my contaminated moves. I have a whole I that's I have a
whole move. Sexually transmitted dilzies.
I didn't even look to see what my character would do because I
did not intend on having sex with anybody.
There's a, There's a. Yours is all.
I think yours has to pick something from their playbook.
Yeah, but I can do that anyways. Lol no because of sex you can do
that. Yeah, but you can also do it
because of leveling up. Well, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
But this would say that you could do it.
Oh, no. If you had another character
have sex, immediately change to a new playbook.
Just a new oh God totally change your class when the first time
you have sex. Mike, who has highest history?
With the right now it's D Ham. D Ham Give.
Me hard. I agree, give me sharp.
That feels like the stats you've been showing off the.
Most hard and sharp. You got it.
And pedal. My highest tide is D ham and
spicket. I feel like it's been spicket
for a while so things fair D. Ham Pickle just orchestrating
the entire with the. Robots.
Puppets on your strings. Hey, give me hard.
That's smart. That's smart.
I'm gonna go sharp. And just so I remember these are
we get experience when we roll these.
We check them on your sheet, so next to them you'll have a check
mark and when you roll them you get 1 experience.
Whether you fail or not, you get 1 experience.
If you fail, you get an additional experience.
OK, failing any role is also. Yes, failing any role.
I got it, got it. OK, OK, pedal roll plus cool for
Visions. OK, that is a 6 plus A1.
That's cool. Which is 1 so 8. 8 8I hold two
I'm going to spend. Experience for having a vision.
Thank you. Kind of lost track of how many I
have. I don't really know that I have
a vision for us to start with, but I will have two to play with
here for when they come up. I think at least in marking
these two. I think I have a couple more
too, but they'll come up in the next session or so.
OK, so your crew hustles Branch back into the food court.
They get him strapped down onto the Gurney, Ivs, oxygen tanks,
whatever. Twiggy goes to working on Branch
in between the heaviest of Angel work.
We are here to get some recovery for those who who, who
realistically need it. Pollen gets back as everyone's
like, sitting down, taking a breath, starting to like, take
in what is about to come, right? Pollen says.
Make sure you catch your breath fast.
We're going to gear up. And we got to hit the board.
We don't know back here where the doors are, but after
everyone gets a moment to, to let Twiggy work on him a bit, if
they need, we can, we can go check out the, the, the back
storage rooms. We've been squirreling away
goodies back there, ammunition, some, some pieces of armor,
maybe weapons, if, if, if that's what you need.
But we should gear up because this is going to be quite the
undertaking. I've only heard stories of of
what goes on in the the the final challenge, but it it can
be quite grueling. Let's heal up and gear up.
So let's do little heal UPS here, see if I can find healing
chance of skin on a wounded person.
Open your brain, blah blah blah. You're also opening your brain,
so roll that move next. So they just basically have to
open their brain to you guys. I have to update legend keeper.
Give me just a second. Of course.
So who wants to go 1st? I'm going to make some rolls to
see how much Twiggy heals you and if yeah, who's we should say
in the. Worst.
Shape, yeah. Yeah, Spigot's got 3 harm right
now, so he would definitely be in for it.
I currently have 4. Oh yeah, you get to go first.
Can Twiggy heal you? Get him.
Yeah, he had a bucket of nuts and bolts in his.
I can't reach that spot. I can't Twiggy it's If there's
some way Twiggy couldn't, maybe I could somehow help because I
have the past of fixing the thing maybe.
Twiggy's got a welder in his first aid area.
Yeah. Yeah, well, Twiggy focuses on
the humans. Maybe he passes you a welder to
try to help out D Ham. Because I don't think I agree
that I don't necessarily think it's a like open your brain role
for Twiggy to heal for you to heal D Ham.
It could just be like a maybe you make a sharp role to see if
you can do it. Because I feel like we've we've
made you out to be like the machinist, right?
Or a machinist. Yeah.
OK. So that's a nine.
A9, yeah, you probably get 1D ham.
I don't think that there's really any negative.
I think it's just like a one versus A2 for you because we're
just putting bolts back on, right?
We're putting it in, you know, maybe maybe your door is a
little bit sticky now because it like tightened it just a bit too
much, but that becomes greatly important.
Maybe it does for the others who wants to go first?
Dill or Deham or pedal doesn't I guess need it.
Is that true? I mean, I can I get like a
barter or a heel or a weapon or something?
Is that? While Twiggy's healing up, you
definitely noticed some like healing syringes you can pocket.
We'll say that there's. 11 more of them because last session you
got a total of 8 syringes, three of which are healing I believe.
Yeah. You're loaded up on like weird
syringes. Yeah, I've got yeah, I've got
three that heal. Well, now I've got four that
heal and then I've got 5 that I don't know what they do we.
Can try those on branch. You could.
I suppose I could use healing,
but I am also curious about a weapon.
I think she, she said that she was, she was going to take you
guys to the, the like supply room to like supply up after we
did a little bit of like break and let Twiggy inspect everyone.
So you'll still get access to choosing like a, you know,
supplying in the supply room, OK.
Well, in that case, let's get healed up also.
For you, Twiggy rolled a natural 12 so you just he just heals.
He learned from last time what works on you and he like doesn't
actually hit you with a healing syringe.
He hits you with like. He does it from like all the
way. Much more farther.
Yeah, just as far as he can reach.
You actually, yeah, you have to stretch out your finger a little
bit closer to. He's got a grabber claw that
he's got the syringe. And he's just.
Jabbing at. Yeah, just jabbing and that's
you. He tags you on the third try.
He's like pretty short and I'm also pretty tall so I imagine
just you feel the cold. Sensation move through your
veins and then a sense of relief as you heal one.
And then for Spigot he does bring a healing syringe and gets
a 10. So you also just get one.
Nothing to to worry about there branch.
By the time that the the three of you are touched on in some
way, healed up, just a skosh wrapped a bandage here or there
branches like tossing and turning and Twiggy goes back to
mainly focusing on him. I just I got to focus over here.
I'm really sorry. He like even jerks the the
needle a little quick out of spigot and runs back behind the
curtain and like throws it shut And you hear some you know, the
telltale sounds of hammers and saws of someone working.
But it's this time medical stuff.
And Pedal says or no, that's up to you.
What you say Pollen, though, Pollen says, yeah, we can.
We can check the supply room for for ammunition, weapons, like I
said, if you folks want to follow me.
And she just starts moving without really looking.
She seems on a mission. This is like mission time.
And heads off to her set of double doors in between a couple
food stalls. All right, I'm following.
For sure. Press 1 to give me a grenade.
Press 2 to give me a grenade. Press 6 to give me 16 grenades.
I don't know the. Press 4 for surprise.
I do want to press 4, but I, I, I don't, I don't know that I
have 16 grenades back there. But why don't we hold off until
you see what we got going on and takes you to the back to the
back supply room. Supply room does, it's quiet and
over the whole music she points out the supply room shelves and
shelves of boxes to refill food stalls.
Mostly. You can see that they have
squirreled away goods and things that they have, I don't know,
maybe modified or packaged up differently to be more gear.
Like I'd say that there's any number of weapons similar to
their T-shirt cannon guns, right?
And a few ammunitions for them. New tubes.
Like you could outfit yourself with a few tubes to actually
make it more than a single fire. You just have to like, you know,
unscrew it and screw a new tube in and you have another fire.
You could gain ammo, you can fully ammo up.
There's probably some, I would say weaker guns here, maybe more
like created maybe crossbows or things of that nature, things
that are like crafted from the random detritus about them all.
They spent a lot of time down here grappling hooks those, why
not? Overall, I think this is going
to be pretty similar to the first time in that you folks can
scan these shells for a piece of gear that you think would draw
to your character. Is that a weapon?
Is that like a Med kit to heal up your allies?
Is that a some armor to to to bolt yourself out?
What in general are you looking for back in this supply room?
Press 9 to give me a pipe. Deham you give me.
Firecracker with nails on it. Open your brain.
Roll that is going to be a 7. You start looking at one of the
shelves of explosives, just general strapped together.
Pipe bomb is a great word. Some just handmade explosives
with shrapnel and shards of plastic and metal and whatnot.
And your allies are looking over this, this stuff too.
But Colin just sort of offhandedly says, you know, I
think back in that the back corner, maybe against the the
back wall opposite to us is where they were keeping that
the, the you said you were looking for the lemon FIFA
toppings earlier. Yes, yes.
Yes, yes, yes. It's back there if you want it.
OK, go back there. Yes, please.
Storage room is quite a bit bigger than you expect as you
jut off and down a few of the shelf lined created hallways.
Now you know, into this room and you start hopping off down one
of them, the other three of you, what do you what kind of gear do
you go for in a overall supply room?
Do we want, do we need any sort of weaponry?
Do we need any sort of, you know, you're, you're gearing up
for what could be or what has been told you is going to be a
grueling battle, right? Something big, something large.
I would love to find some refills for my T-shirt, cannon,
shotgun, and maybe some rope because rope is always handy.
Now 100% you get a little X or actually before I just say you
get a little X going, give me a why don't you just roll the roll
plus sharp? Or how roll the?
Dice on the. Floor.
How well outfitted we get with the things we want.
That's the that's 10 plus sharp I believe is +2, so that's a 12.
Oh yeah, you find a cross shoulder strap, maybe that was
once a seat belt that you could you can outfit with a couple
hooks to put like we'll say 4 tubes on for this shotgun.
So every you have four shots now basically you pre outfit them
with ammunition. So each one as you shoot blows
the barrel and you have to re outfit it with a new barrel.
But now you have four of those barrels strapped across and then
going the other way, lightly draped across.
That is your, you know, 60 feet of rope or whatever.
Love it. Pedal Dill.
Is this where I find my thing? No, you can find some things in
here, but not the thing. Then it still has an idea I need
to thank someone. You'll narratively know when
your thing's there. I see.
Thank you. I'm looking for two things, one
thing for sort of a stupid attack and one thing for more of
a smart attack. I want something that I can like
how Daredevil does in the comics, something that can like
bounce around and bounce to specific places and not people
out from absurd angles and things.
And then the other thing I want is like an anvil.
Some like a absurdly heavy object that I can just wrap my
hand around and just use as a flail.
Anvil I I don't know that you give me a give me a sharp roll
before. I don't know what you do.
AO -1 Sharp, don't fail me now. Hey, Devil Sixes a lot, OK?
You find both a box of firecrackers, rubber bands
everywhere, that's easy, box of firecrackers and some bouncy
balls. I think that's the closest we're
getting to like bouncy ouchies. I don't quite know what weapon
he uses, but that's funny. It's like it's.
Like a batter ring or something seems like.
I mean, a battering is sort of kind of something that would be
useful, but I'm here for rubber bands and and bouncy balls and
firecrackers. Firecrackers like little M 80s,
you know, they're just a single little sticks that like if you
got hit it would probably sting pretty bad but at least would
like shocker blind you. How about a slingshot for these?
I think you could. You could easily drum together a
slingshot. OK, Slingshot.
Slingshot with bouncy balls and firecrackers is a start.
As far I don't. Have a name?
No. I draw my a slingshot with
bouncy balls and firecrackers. Go as far as an anvil.
I don't know that you find an anvil, but you find we'll say
like oxygen tanks. There's like a, there's like a
rack of 6 oxygen tanks. Those are heavy, right?
It's not going to be as heavy as an anvil, but it's a real like
you throw that, throw your skin around that you could fling it
real hard it. Does.
Come like it's own it's own set of but I am that's true that.
Is very true all. Right.
Well, I'm just, I'm going to, I'm going to grab the whole six
of them to bug it. Away.
Do you strap them on your back? Do you just, do you take them
inside yourself? Do you just drag them behind
you? I kind of want to strap them on
my back. Doable.
Maybe I go on all fours like a camel.
Dromedary the Bomb. To the.
Room. Is that the sound of camel
mates? No, they scream.
OK, pedal anything that you want to outfit yourself with.
Yeah, I since I lost my brick, I would like a weapon.
There's a pile of bricks. If you want to, it's like like a
like a long range weapon, like a gun or gun adjacent.
I will grab a brick also just for all time saying.
Just replenish you one brick nostalgia.
I mean, you've got a cool holster for it and everything.
It's. In the brick right, nothing
looks lamer than empty brick holsters.
I definitely felt that one up. Nothing looks lamer than an
empty brick holster. Is a really good sentence.
Give me a roll plus sharp. See if you can find a long range
weapon in here. I like.
I like getting. One sharp double 5 + 2 is a 12.
And do I mark experience for whirling with some a check thing
or is that not real? Yep.
No that's that's OK. I'm levelling up.
I'm levelling up again to level 9.
Glad you said that because I just levelled up again.
Everyone's leveling up. This is good Did.
You say you're level 9 trying to reach.
Couple digits by the I mean she's got. 800,000.
Points guys, which? That's true.
I do have in my notebook down. Oh my God, I forgot about my.
Scar. That's boobs.
Oh, your scar has changed a little bit, but it looks kind of
wrong in place. It's like you tried to write
over crossed out numbers, you know?
Oh. It doesn't.
Actually change the. Original scar, but it's like
made a new one over it, you know?
It's I don't really like that, no.
I leveled up as well. I am Level 3.
Wait. You're doing great.
You're unstoppable. Wasn't your Level 3 where you
got murderbot? So here's.
So here's the thing. I've realized at this session
that you're supposed to get double XP whenever you fail a
role that you are checked on. Yeah, but I thought you're I.
Thought you leveled? Up and got Murderbot during the
arena phase and I think you were level.
That was level 2. I could have swore you were
level two last time we talked about it.
I think you were already level 2 when Grace was mentioning she
was like level 6 or yeah I mean. I just want to make sure that
you have. The right amount of levels that
sure, but Level 3 could fit because if you haven't been
checking, you know, failed checks, then I think this is
your third. Level up?
I think so as well. I've got.
Three check marks, so I guess I'm level.
Four, yes, yeah, Yeah, you are now.
Level 4 you're checking the 4th one.
Just reach I. Have just reached level.
Four. OK, Yeah, yeah, OK.
That's. Awesome.
Everyone's leveling up a little bit here, Grace.
Much like spigots bandolier for the the shotgun style.
You have found a long range T-shirt cannon think like to hit
the upper risers in a stadium right.
The same rules apply. But you have I think as well for
canisters for tubes that are preloaded right that blow up
when you shoot them. But you can re, you know,
reattach a new barrel and it's long range.
Pollen warns that the two are not good in in like versa.
Your aim, your your like precision at close range is just
no fucking telling and yours is spread so far spigot at long
range that it just that is all momentum, yeah.
D Ham if we stick. Together.
You, that's right, are wandering.
Down these these. Halls looking for the back wall.
You have to move quite a long way down this room.
She just sort of pointed like open handed off and, you know,
deep into the room. I'm on the hunt, you're on the
hunt, you're moving down, you're like like, how do you go about
how do you go about searching these shelves, you know, back
wall, but like, are you just like vigorously searching?
So so D. Ham, you know, he doesn't have
like touch, the sound, the feeling of touch.
So he has to by sound. He has, he has sound receptors.
So that's how he figures out where his things are in his
stomach, his big cavity. He knows the sounds of things
when they're shaken. So I'm going box by box and I'm
shaking it. That's how deep is looking for
cuz I'll know the I'll know the sound of a grenade whenever I
shake it and that's much faster than getting into every single
box. I I when you started.
That I thought you were gonna be like rapid a tapping sort of
drum style across everything to sort of hear what it sounds
like, but the things. In my chest cavity are shaking
so that is how I know what they sound like.
Are you shaking them with your hands or?
Do you have like a like a dishwasher?
No, I'm just picking up each. Box 1 by.
One shaking it, picking up and shaking it.
Takes you a while to move down the length of this room.
Here's what I'm talking about. Give me that.
Grenade give you that grenade you're.
Going around, you're not looking for grenade, you're looking for
Lemon Pfeiffer. What expensive device?
Improvised explosive. Device Lemon Pfeiffer, OH.
Yeah, you're so right. I'll give you a grenade.
There's. Lots of grenades over there by
the guns if you want to be distracted by them.
I totally forgot that's what I was here.
Looking for? That's what you're shaking
boxes. For moving down these these
these like because I know what, because I know what most.
Things sound like so if I feel something that I don't know the
sound of that I know to check you shake your way.
Through towards the back of this warehouse, shake shake, shake
move down, shake shake, shake. You're discovering all sorts of
just supplies used in I mean a multitude of different ways,
oven supplies you got lighting supplies, all of which can be
like reutilized in different fashions, but that's not really
what you're after. You're distracted by this the
existence possibly of the lemon Pfeiffer and you move through
the warehouse. So you find yourself at the back
end of the wall, back end of of this this big, you know, room.
You can hear your allies and your teams voices pretty far off
in the other end of the room kind of echoing down.
You shake some stuff and you find your way back here, but I
think it's that back here you're shaking a box and you put it
back and you look up and it's labeled very clearly.
It says Orange Julius, like up top, and then it says lemon
Pfeiffer kit and plus topping. Lemon Pfeiffer kit plus topping,
right? Like on this big white label,
but it's 345 rows up. It's like wicked above your head
that you notice this box. I am.
Going to throw my robotic hands. That makes sense for the first
hand. What?
How do you throw? The second hand I just sort of
like swing my arm. Up and then it let it go.
Precise time I let it go. Oh boy.
So I think I get so I should maybe one accurate 1 and 1 not
so accurate. I think we could just do a.
Normal roll of do something under fire sharp, you know, oh
wait, just do something under fire.
Cool, yes, this feels like a. Sharp role you're doing.
Though, OK, yeah, Sharp. I'm moving out of like there.
There's there's like 10 fucking roles in this game.
I feel like there's a way we could just roll with the stats
and the vibe if it's not one of those roles, you know, something
we probably could have been doing all along.
You lob your hands up there, you throw the first one, and then
you like wing your arm up with the second one and the first one
catches the second one on the way upright and like grabs it
and that's incredible. Attaches it to the box.
What teamwork? And now they're up here on the
lemon. Pfeiffer box.
They got to push that bad boy. Down.
They got to push that bad boy down.
This is an important, this is an important moment.
That's the only reason I'm giving it so many like moments.
It's extremely important, this. Feels like a hard roll.
Hard feels. Like the strength based stat,
you got your hands way up there without a without a challenge.
Now use a hard roll to push this box off.
Oh, OK, OK. It's going to be another ten 8 +
2. Nice.
OK. Your hands what they both get
behind it and just like push off of the wall against each other
right to shove the box out. It slides a little bit, tilts
and then falls down with these two 10s, it's actually really
easy for you to like throw your back up against the the shelf
and just throw your arms out and let it fall into your arms.
There's a little, a little bit of a crash in the, the, the,
the, the shelf itself shakes and two things.
One in your arms. You now have this box lemon
Pfeiffer topping kit plus topping or whatever, whichever
way I put it. And above you, you hear a few
like servo beeps of a machine starting up coming from a crate
next to where the lemon Pfeiffer was.
Uh oh. Well, I need.
My hands to jump down so that I can have hands again.
Your hands jump down in. That comical way like they like
crawl to the edge and one of them jumps and the other one
looks and waits as you catch it and then it looks back and looks
forward and then jumps. And as it's falling?
And you like catch it and you do a little spin like da da da da
da. Got my hands the crate that was
next to it that the servo beeping came from.
Like rumbles and shakes a bit and starts battering, batting
around like there's something. I'm bumping around on the inside
of that crate. OK, so this is something.
I'm going to try and do while running away from this back to
the group so I can throw knives. Can I throw a knife into the
into my hand and just like catch it and have a knife?
You don't. You have infinite knives.
Though exactly, but can I throw it into?
My own hand. What wouldn't you just?
Flex your arm and it would pop out of your arm into your hand.
Yeah, I feel that's what I'm saying.
You could just you. Could just conjure a knife
whenever they're. Knife.
They're throwing. Knives.
So I just want to. Make sure.
Oh yeah, I mean, you have. Infinite of them I I could see
one knife you could just conjure to pry with.
Hell yeah, actually, I. Misremembered what it actually
is it's just as many knives so I just.
I get a knife I have I just have knives yeah yeah.
So I open this box particularly for.
Prying. I don't spin because I know I'm
going to. Be distracted so I don't spend
any time looking at the contents of this box.
I'm going to slice it open and I'm going to empty the contents
into my chest cavity and then I'm going to slam that bad boy
shut and I'm going to tie the lock.
Smart, smart. You bind yourself.
How do you tie the lock? What's what's tie the lock?
On your chest cast chassis? There's like 2 knobs.
On either side of them. And I have like a a piece of
string that like I tie around it like really quickly, like the
infinite sign. That's awesome.
Like an old trapper. Keeper that's sick.
You do that as you're running, you're tying the string very
quickly as you're running because of your, you know, your
good roles. You caught all your hands.
Everything went really smoothly. You're running back before you
hear a crash behind you and that like sound of something heavy
falling through the air before it crashes into the ground.
And then and you in between your steps start hearing this little
sound of like metal on concrete, of little legs basically running
down the concrete after you. And as you turn around, you see
nothing. And then your vision is drawn
upwards because whatever it was has leapt and this robotic, it's
like 4 legged robot, the long oblong body has jumped up and
it's like on the side of of one of these shelves scrambling
along towards you. It's got these three red lights
beeping and blinking on the front of it.
And I think that somewhere there's like a little bit of a
like a little engraving on the front around one of the, the
eyepieces or cameras or whatnot that says Greenbrook Mall
security. So I'm going to need.
To alert the crew. So I'm going to pull out a.
Handgun. OK.
Or wait, is it is it a grappling hook?
Is that right? Well, not anymore.
You fired. That OK, so yeah, my I'm going
to pull. Out my handgun and I'm going to
start shooting at the the lights.
Those might be crit spots or they might be cameras.
Both are fine for me. Ah, I see.
OK, OK. Lay down fire feels like a good
use of this lay down fire roll plus sharp I.
Believe. Oh, it's hard.
Yep, it'd be like. For my level, if I took plus one
hard nice, it's going to be a. 7.
A7 on a 7 and 9 choose. Two provide covering fire,
supporting fire, suppressing fire, or taking an opportune
shot. Realistic.
I would like to. Suppress fire?
Yep, and. Then supporting covering or
opportune shot. Oh I still get 2 on A7.
Yeah, Hell yeah. I'll, I'll do some harm.
Yeah, let's do some harm. Mixed success.
Still here though. 7:00 to 9:00, you deny the other character the
chance to move or act freely. You're firing back.
You've picked up, you know, handguns from the the goons
you've slain along the way. You're firing backwards.
The crew over here just going through the closest shelves and
like, outfitting yourselves with belts and gears and ropes and
whatnot. All of a sudden you hear a
handgun open fire off and in the the warehouse.
Pop pop pop in the direction that D Ham was.
Shaking boxes in, you heard. The disappearing, shaking, going
away. D Ham in front.
Of you, I think what happens here is you only hit with one of
these shots. Your first shot though, like it
bounds off the shelf and then bounds off the shelf across the
hall and bounds off that shelf. So you're like back and forth
trying to just aim at this thing that's bounding back and forth
in. It's jumping back and forth.
It like not it's pushes these two shelves with force and they
start falling over to the side and all of you crew can start to
hear loud crashes and like creaks of these shelves.
These, you know, story high shelves 2 three story high
shelves starting to crash into one another and like domino
effects cause falling all around the shaking and the general
force around here is just causing things to shift and fall
around you. You do shoot it once and it like
falls back. You like knock it out of the air
and it it falls into a heap and then gets itself back up on
those four legs looks around a little bit and like gains a
target on you as you take a corner still running towards
your allies and you hear it just start galloping again after you
clap clap clap clap clap clap as it's.
Coming after you, the rest of the crew.
You hear this crashing? You hear gunshots?
What do you do? I'm gonna head that direction
while. Loading a new barrel onto my
T-shirt. Shotgun Ice Jill's also heading.
That way as. Soon as the gunshots are up, but
instead of getting a weapon out, he's putting down his big trump
of explosives. Putting down.
Yeah. That's smart.
And pedal takes up the. Rear.
Along with Pollen who is re outfitting a new barrel onto her
gun. Right, I guess she doesn't need
to. I don't think she ever she did
take a shot. She did take a shot with her
power up. I don't think she ever shot her
gun. Gun.
Yeah, I thought it was just her power.
I think it was just her power. She's.
She just pulls. Out her already.
Loaded T-shirt cannon and takes up the the rear behind pedal.
Just to make sure, you know, we cut covering the rear basically
as you guys rush off towards D Ham.
Let's see with my previous. 10 in the hunting and finding
weapons. It's just occurred to me that
like pool balls would be really good ammunition for dill.
We retcon me some pool balls. Recon use some pool balls.
Over bouncy balls, Yeah, yeah. Why not the orb itself?
Doesn't matter. These don't bounce.
They just fucking hurt. Yeah, these ones kind of.
Explode if they hit something hard enough they.
Hurt a lot. But they don't.
Bounce. They kind of bounce.
Football's kind of bounce. I can like felt I guess.
Once or once? In 1/2 you should have just one
good. Ricochet.
You know, on a 12. Maybe you can bank a shot with a
pool ball. It'll be.
Like a it'll be like. A bonus move for getting that 12
plus or whatever as you you 3 start to move down in a
formation like a real formation down these halls as there's
crashing occurring all around you.
You come out into a main hall and you see DD ham like dead
sprinting take a corner and skate a little bit before he's
just like running up to you. And in the crashing shelves
around you a oblong 4 legged bot leaps out and lands on the
ground and under its chassis. A little barrel drops down with
six tubes and it starts to spin up as it's facing now your crew,
but D ham at the back. Anyone has action?
Also, I realized I didn't remind of it, but pedal gained one more
thing along the way and that's a pen.
It's important to remember we can't just forget the pack
beast. Pedal pack beast.
Oh my God. I'll be much more responsible
than Travis or than Merle was with his Stow buddy.
Except you did just forget it. Entirely so I'm going to say
it's it's behind you left it behind in the in the main like
food hall since we forgot it until now, but it's important
it's getting his hair. He's he's eating a bunch of
sarku Japan. He's getting, he's getting the.
The healing care he needs like old old wounds stitched and
healed up in a in a more particular way.
So not now. But you do have pet.
Remember how far like is? This thing within shotgun range?
Or should I duck down and let pedal the long range?
This thing is probably not within.
Shotgun range it's probably about 4550 feet out as it takes
its corner and you take your corner you're like on, you know,
opposing ends of this opening. All right, I'm going to draw my.
Pistol and shoot at it. OK, Spigot draws a pistol.
To shoot, this is a robot, right?
Mm hmm. Yeah.
Mm hmm. Small cylinder.
I'm going to. Try and get.
My mitts on it and squeeze it. Mm, hmm.
It's got a, it's got a spinning. Up turret facing down you about
45 feet away you just got to get through some some some bullet
fire in order to do so or you can like cut into you know you
could do a sneaky route and like cut into the shelves and you
know do a a back door if you would you know whichever route
dil would like to take yeah I mean if.
There's if the shelves still seem OK, I don't mind kind of
jumping from shelf to shelf. Maybe one of my allies will
shoot it before I can land on it.
Yeah, pedal well. I'm kind of.
Wanting to see what spigots pistols are going to do because
if it if the pistols don't bring it down then I'll long range it,
but I don't want to. Ammo seems precious in this kind
of space. Sure, but I'm like ready.
I'm brace and ready, but I'm not going to fire until I see what
the pistol does. OK, Spigot give.
Me a it's up to you if it's lay down fire if you want those
options or if you want just a straight, you know, can I shoot
it to cause damage role act under fire and for Dill, I'm
thinking it's act under fire to like sneak along these shelves
unless there's another role that I'm missing that would be cool
for this moment. I think seeing.
DM run from it. It would be lay down fire for
me. Lay down fire, OK?
There's an option of cat versus mouse, but that's if it starts
running. If someone starts running, I
think we have an option of this count for cat versus mouse roll,
which maybe it could have rolled on D ham.
But if you go aggro for dill, I think doing something under.
Fire is probably, I mean, I'm literally they're shooting at
me. I'm under fire.
Can't get much more under fire than that.
So cool. All right.
So I rolled the seven. But I'm -1 hard, so that's six.
So I believe that gets me one off the list and it gives you a
experience. And if it was a check stat, you
get a bonus experience. All right, let's.
See, I think it was a check stat.
It was. A check stat 2 XP so I'm going
to. Take an opportune shot
inflicting harm, but -1. And you can see that pop pop pop
pop pop most of your shots are missing.
Maybe you shoot 4 times just to try to, I mean the idea right
the, the, the pistol aim is to do the triangle on a headshot so
that you get 3 points and you can move on.
That's like the most, you know, like tactical aiming strategy.
The first shot you know, goes wide and you pull another three
trying to make that triangle. Two shots miss, maybe one of
them just skates the glass and like bounce like is deflected.
One hits dead on, you know, though it like to flex off and
hits a shelf. You can see the little ping go
off. There's a tiny little crack,
like a Pebble and a windshield kind of crack.
It's not spider webbed, you know, you did damage.
But like, this thing is built to, well, armored, Yeah.
Dill what? Did you roll?
I rolled. A 9 + 211 nine.
Plus 211. I do it, you do it dil, you duck
back into the shelves as the bullets start ripping out of
this little Gatling turret on the bottom of this robot spigot
and pedal pedal. You see that occur and then
these bullets start like peppering your area.
You were prepared. You're like washing this area.
I'm going to give you an option and it's either to shove spigot
out of the way to take the full brunt, or to dive out of the way
yourself, taking only part of the brunt.
I'm definitely gonna like shove. Spig it out of the way, yeah,
you move forward and. Shove spig it into the and I
think I'm also gonna. See if I can like bring my arm
up to try and shield my face. Do as much to like, protect like
Shove, but also be like ow but protect the vinyl bits.
Sure, we'll say that. Smart.
In the end, you definitely get a bullet in the back of your arm
and it doesn't go through right, just a little like the tiny
little pellet bullets. You get hit, pop, pop, pop, pop,
pop for three damage. Maybe the only one that really
hurts is that one in the back of your arm, because I think you
have two armor, right? Yeah, it's yeah to go minus.
Two. Yeah.
So you you take just one. Solid bullet in the back of the
arm and you like pull your hand back and your hand's bleeding it
hurts to clinch your fist but you have shoved spigot into the
side spigot you hit the ground kind of hard we'll say that
pollen as well took just like a graze in the arm but still has
her T-shirt cannon trained she's trying to move up a couple steps
so that she can get close enough with her weapon She maybe goes
back to a shelf and then curls around and back to another shelf
and curls around trying to like make progress.
Dill the robot seemingly is focused on these three.
Maybe it just missed you and your dive to the side and into
the shelves, but you're able to like crawl up and in between the
shelves. So you're on top, you bound down
a couple and now over the top of it.
And it's, you know, peppering down this alleyway on your
allies, hitting the areas where they're like hidden behind these
shelves. You say it had a a shield.
Not like a force field shield, but.
Like Spigot's bullet did not Pierce it, even when it hit it
straight on, it stayed bounced off.
Damaged it. But yeah, yeah, OK.
I think in that case, I'm just going to jump down on it.
You leap down atop it. I love.
This do you? How do you?
What's this? What's this leap down on top?
Are you trying to confine? Are you trying to destroy you
trying to distract? What's the I'm trying to destroy
And then? Possibly consume destroying
consume dill's. Operatives, I love it.
Talk to me about how you jump down and top this thing.
Paint me a picture. OK, I'm imagining.
Just because it's convenient to me that this robot has an
exposed back like a neck. I'm literally imagining the.
Dog Robot from the episode of Black Mirror that they unlocked
in the warehouse that like haunted them the fuck down.
But in the end it's like it has that if you can back break.
It right? That's still a play because it
has that like oblong dog form. OK, I think I can.
At the very least stun it enough that by the time I land on it, I
can squeeze it. The I think the goal here is to
we're going to jump and as we jump, we're going to shoot it
with our, with our new found full ball slingshot.
Full ball. Slingshot I can't believe that
I. Just immediately forgot that and
then we're gonna land on it and try and just, you know, rent and
tear at it until it stops moving.
Again, I think it's either lay down fire or do something under
lay down if you want the options for your allies.
Do something if you just want sheer force yourself.
Really can't believe there's not a way to.
Use hard to just inflict damage. Lay down.
Oh, single combat, I suppose. Single combat will work, yeah.
Yeah, narratively we would be drawing.
The focus with this jump too. So that's how we create a single
combat, I guess. In that case, I'll I.
Also let out a dill yell. I don't know if it has ears but
you know my why not? It's got all sorts of sensors.
It's got to be able to pick up sound, and that goes like what?
That's not my, that's not my sound.
To make that I had to if. I had to shut down the same
impulse. Yeah, OK.
Little, little, little. Lee Except it's sort of more
yodeling than that. Like a, like a I'm going to
imagine. A Wilhelm Scream?
Sure. I rolled A9 on a 7 to 9.
Choose one Do you want to suffer terrible, terrible harm or no?
Inflict terrible harm or suffer little harm.
I mean, we're going to inflict terrible.
Harm off. It's got to be, yeah, the best
defense is. A good offense.
And then I want to give an option.
Also for D Ham bullet time, Dill is in the air yodel screaming as
it comes down, firing a pool ball right.
We'll say the pool ball hits the ground and shatters, drawing the
focus of the robot up as to what fired that pool ball for a
moment, stopping the Gatling turret, which I guess just
totally avoided you somehow because I just forgot about you
running away from it. So a life such as?
Is there anything you want to do in this moment or help out with?
Before I explain further, can I bait a trap?
Bait a trap. What is?
Okay, I see this battle combat moves.
OK. This feels like what we we could
have we could have definitely put this one in.
I think we still can. I think we still can.
You know what we'll make this the role as to whether or not
you take damage from that Gatling gun role plus cool.
See if your prey suspect suspects OK on a miss.
I choose one for you when the players characters baiting
another no double ones. Well, because everything's lined
up. I'm going to say you draw your
prey all the way into the trap right.
You drew it into the perfect position for Dill to do this.
Fucking people's elbow on top of its back.
We'll say that you do in fact take a three spot from its
Gatling gun as well. But for you, I think that's two,
right, two shots. Yeah.
You just get bop bop bop, like bullets coming through you and
I'm holding my arms around. My stomach give me a whist to
try and roll protect. This is defending your innards
at this point. Double sixes.
OK, yes, it works. You know the bullets come
through you, but you're like it like is only through the empty
spaces, right? You feel safe.
You're like hands behind your back to block.
What damage can you definitely take?
Much like when I'm serving back. In Tedville, I'm dancing amongst
the bullets in order to shake the contents of my stomach in
just the right way that they don't get injured.
Protecting the contents but not yourself in this case and you
take two damage after armor getting ripped up from behind by
the Gatling. But all of that is enough to
draw the full attention so that when Dill drops down a top
people's elbow style, you know, pulling the full weight of one
of those will say like oxygen tanks to just bring the the the
hammer down. Dill, what occurs is that you do
this, you do this really well. You come down right on its back.
But I need you to give me an instant with sand roll.
That is another. Nine.
Another 9. I love, love.
And. Are thrown like you make contact
with the back of the robot. You feel a give with all the
force you're putting into it and then there's an instant click
and explosion and you are fired backwards.
You feel a burning sensation going all over your right arm as
you're thrown through a shelf and into another.
I need everyone else to give me a withstand roll plus one as
you're farther away from this explosion.
Oh shit, I'm on fire. I might.
Die. You're right and.
What is a? What is it going to be?
All of me. Yeah, what is with stand rolls
plus? Hard plus hard.
OK. Oh, that's not good.
That's a. Five horse spigot, can I see
this this fire happening? Can I, can I ignore this with
stand roll and instead take the brunt of it and throw a jug of
water from my stomach that I have on Dill's very flammable
arm? You.
Definitely. Don't have any barter.
I have one. Barter.
No way we've 1 bartered. Multiple times.
And I have 0 barter and I'll roll the withstand roll.
Here I go. You can.
You can roll to like help get on.
You can like. Jump on it real quick.
The withstand is in the same moment that he has taken it as
well, right? I'll roll the withstand roll.
I mean the four, OK. Pedal, it's 8.
For me, Deham and. Spigot are.
Launched off of their feet to the shock from the shockwave.
You take one through armor and you are both launched.
I thought I was on the ground. Oh, 'cause you were shoved.
Oh. Yeah, you were.
You were behind. Some coverage, what occurs with
you spigot is that dill is launched, like I said, through
one shelf and into another and that causes a domino effect
behind the shelf that you're or like onto the shelf that you're
behind. So like that shelf starts to
come down on top of you and you're able to like roll and
maybe crawl out a bit, but you're like hit by some boxes on
the way down. So maybe yours isn't through
armor. Yours is 2 damage Lawrence.
Yours is just yours is 2 damage. Also not through armor.
It's just a shockwave. Just blam pounds.
You pedal. Yours is only one damage through
armor. Pollen is sent sprawling.
Yeah. Yeah, this explosion.
Was big it like it? Immediately sent a bunch of
these shelves tumbling and falling.
I'll say that you guys can you know, on that that note that D
hams on there are tons of stock and you know, boxes of stuff
around. There's liquids to find to pour
on him easily. But there is this out, you know,
crackling fire and smoldering flames.
And is dill out or is dill? Like, I mean, what's what's it
sounds like I'm still on fire. So I well, if we can immediately
catch fire like I am. On like I turn into.
Like a like I go up like a torch.
So I immediately become a screeching horrifying tentacle
monster and run for the nearest like fire alarm thing in the
hopes that that will work. But I don't imagine that I have
any particular plan. I'm dying.
No, right. I just, you know, what's your
reaction to being on fire? For the first time in a long
time, screaming and screeching and running around is great.
Yeah, the same, the same, the same as any time that I'm on.
Fire. Yeah, that's fair.
If I'm Sounds like I'm one of the people that stole my.
Feet can I take an opportunity to put him out with like he said
there's liquids around just shove a stack of liquids so the
stack of liquids falls on him yeah what I'll say is you see a
if you you see the. Shelf that he is like smashed
into and then falling out of onto the ground is like starting
to panic and run around. The whole top of that shelf is
lined with these like, 50 gallon water drums.
But what I is that act under pressure, you think?
Yeah. My thought is that is that tie
up so you could just you. Could pull your your long.
Range weapon. And and shoot one of your your
shots at these waters yeah to yeah let me to drown him or to.
Yeah, not drown him. Not not not not drown him, but.
Like. Douse him, douse him, douse him.
Yeah, but would that what? Would that be?
Probably a do something under, yeah.
Fire. OK, so that would.
Be a. 8 an 8 It's the second shot, the 1st.
Shot you get your aim right, but you know like you miss it just
it fires up right ahead right above it, but you have your aim
now it takes that second shot. You quickly get it on Bam, fire
it. The the water pours down and
drenches Dill, who probably collapses into a little bit of a
heap, smoldering a little bit Dill.
You got burns all it's it's the worst on your like right arm and
shoulder. It's like third degree burns all
up in there. The rest of your body is just
like lightly burns like the rest of your body lightly touched a
pan. It sucks, it's bad, but you were
put out within seconds like it was very fast.
The team work together or like pedal did it very quickly, even
if it was a missed shot. Yeah, your right arm is all
burnt the fuck up and I think that you're unable to like
change it. You're unable to stretch it.
You're unable to like make it bulky and big.
It just hurts real bad if you try to force anything on your
right arm. OK, neat.
Yeah, I curl up into a. Ball, I don't know.
I haven't been on fire in a minute.
Yeah, the room is lightly smoldering around you.
The the crashing stops of these these shelves finally having
come to a stop wherever they're at force wise around you.
A lot of these shelves have fallen over broken contents lay
Askew and a spray. Pollen's quick to act.
She rushes over to Dill and tries to throw an arm under him
and like help lift him up and start to carry him back to where
the, you know, the main like food court area where the the
actual like Angel is for healing like it's going to crawl out
from under the. Shelves and junk that fell on
him team comes together would would.
I mean, what? How much?
Harm did he did Dell take like what is is he getting?
That's a good question. I'm just going to say, like
narratively, we. Have a fucked up arm but I'm
going to say one through armor as well on top of all that.
So I don't know how he's doing, but that I don't know.
I think it just undoes. Whatever the Angel did at the
beginning of the session. So you're back to 6:00.
Yeah, OK. So it's like he has. 2 total
harm. Right.
But in the smolder stage, is there something you want to?
Is there anything you want to do here?
Pedal. I always didn't know like if the
harm was enough. To warrant using one of my most
stabby stabbies. But I think it's not dire yet,
but I'm gonna, you know, give a little pass.
And you, you all right, Banana? That's pretty close.
I like kind of pat away some smoke with the debris that was
charred skin. Yikes.
Thank you for you. Pushed me out.
Thank you, You all right? Banana hobbles towards the door.
Get. Back to the back hallway.
That connects this ready for the boss fight.
The main and I am. Very injured your team.
Comes to the. Set of double doors and you open
the double doors to quite the scene.
Die well on one end. Of the.
Light, the bubble of light stands this massive open opulent
door. It stands open.
You can see a blackness beyond it, just pure blackness beyond
this door. You come in at the moment in
which several of these like the audience members, right?
They're like crazed over accessorized, like battle crazy.
Folks that have been cheering on the fights and whatnot are
Wheeling on the Gurney up to the door branch, an unconscious
branch. They are like pushing the Gurney
just into the door as you guys cross this threshold.
There's a few of them back behind that see you entering.
The whole room here is a mess, tables flipped and turned over.
Whatever like section sheeting is out of the way.
They have found the hideout and have come for it.
I think that that is the last sight we see.
He's like you. You come in as the first person
pulling the Gurney enters into the door and you see like
Branch's body slowly slide into the blackness as another one
pushes and stops at the edge and looks at you and says you'll
have to come get him. And just like pushes up through
the door with a little bit of force.
And the door remains there, just like open in this space.
It wasn't here before, but remains here.
And the, the, the, the food court area is all like burnt and
broken over and pushed and shattered and whatnot.
You don't see be anyone initially beyond that, and that
little phase happens as they phase into the black beyond the
door and you're left in a little bit of quiet, a little bit of
peeking around and pollen. Says I think they.
Took Twiggy too. It took the Angel quiet.
Like comes over the room, but the.
Pedal. And pollen both are aware it
comes back, you know, back through your memory.
This door, this is that door, this is that like final door
that you would have seen on the the board and whatnot had we got
there with the three keys and you know, been prepared to open
the the final This is that door 3 keys are ready.
What about? What about the pack base to see
hiding? Somewhere I was so that this he
was there too, wasn't he? After almost too much silence,
you hear a little. Bit of whimpering and sniffling
around and then a little packed beast pads out from a hallway.
Hell yeah. Los Angeles kept the dog.
Los Angeles. Kept the dog.
And you stand in the ruins of the safe place that we once had,
facing the doorway that we no longer need the keys for because
he found us ready to enter. And that is where we'll call it
for tonight, Ready to face the wizard for Branch and Twiggy,
and hopefully Rude along the way next time.
But for now, we should talk history, Dill, Who knows you
better than they did before. Did anyone catch that
desperation in Burning Dill? I guess I'll give it's a pedal
and put me out. Caught the brief, the brief
moment. Of mortality there pedal gear
plus one to dill D ham. Anyone know you better than they
used to? I don't think so this time.
Think I'm going to give. Pedal a - 1 pedal -1 spigot.
Anyone know you better? Than they used to.
I don't think so. I don't think.
This round they do. It's a -1, probably the one I
interacted. Least with was dham.
So that's a -1 -, 1 dham pedal who knows you?
Better than they used to, I guess.
Also Dill. Dill.
Why does Dill know you better? He knows.
I've got his back to say. We haven't really had
interactions like that before. That's true, that's valid.
That's valid. I like.
It. Dill Marks Plus.
One to pedal. We come back next time to save
our friends, pedal's friends, and get the fuck out of here
next time on saving pedals. Friends saving pedals private?
Nope. Nope.
He was saying away. From.
Pedals. Private Whoa, cancel, cancel.
Like Craig, did you hear that? Craig Craig Saving just.
Tells me saving private. Ryan, I had to make sure I was
saying it right. Excuse me the media, I'm have
got excuse. Me comma, the media.
Oh man. Returning from their gear up,
the Tedvillians find a. Destroyed hideout and an issued
challenge. The wizard has opened the door
to his game and taken back all they have fought for.
Now is the time for anger, now is the time for rage, and now is
the time to direct it all at the wizard.

thrilling conclusion. I'm Q See you next time.
Have we talked about the the rodent?
Detective class. I know the Marmot we haven't M
and I so. Small talked about it the rest
of you. Have you heard?
No, no, no, I don't know what to say.
There's a 3 minutes ago there's a rodent detective class.
Like his whole shit. You are a fuzzy rodent.
It doesn't really do a whole lot of explaining, but all of your
moves are like finding news and Batman if he was a gerbil.
More like Scooby-doo, Batman, Ratman.
Oh rat. Man not closer, man closer
still. No closer than Batman, but not
as close as Scooby-doo. But anyways the sex move I'm
pretty sure is like a permanent negative to all stats from shame
unless you're unless the other character is also a rodent.
Oh my God true. Don't.
Have sex with a Marmot. But man, you should check out
that class though, because the. Moves on that class are bonkers.
Bonkers Yonkers that class. That's true.

A Give me the clues. Just give.
Give me the answers to the.
