The Chaos Recoil Effect.
Speaker:In simple terms, the tendency for
Speaker:light and matter to rush toward empty space.
Speaker:This principle underpins all mystic arts and technology on the
Speaker:islands of Izan, a world born of cataclysm.
Speaker:While many throughout history would seek to use this principle
Speaker:for good, the hidden kingdom of Kryptara Swamp had darker plans.
Speaker:Their attempt to enslave the seven spirits of nature would incite the
Speaker:schism, plunging Izan into a war that would last a thousand years.
Speaker:It is now 3999 after Ignition, the 75th year of the lumidescent era,
Speaker:200 years since Kryptara went dormant.
Speaker:A technological revolution has ushered in a period of relative
Speaker:peace, but the people of Izan have a long memory.
Speaker:Six strangers will meet on their way to the Fourth Millennium
Speaker:Festival on Willowroot Island.
Speaker:A detective, a warrior, a
Speaker:mountaineer, a pilot, an escaped cyborg, and a young immortal.
Speaker:But their train seems strangely empty.
Speaker:Today on Chaos Recoil.
Speaker:of Chaos Recoil opens up as you
Speaker:find yourselves on a Virta Rail, which is basically a train.
Speaker:It's traveling across the Wheat Ocean in the Wheat Star Crater.
Speaker:The golden waves of the Wheat Ocean are whizzing by your window,
Speaker:and you're in this well -appointed, beautiful train with
Speaker:green carpets and gold accents and dark wood, and you find yourselves
Speaker:riding in the compartment in your own rooms.
Speaker:on the train for your own reasons.
Speaker:You're all traveling to Willow
Speaker:Root Island for the 4th Millennium Festival, where many things are
Speaker:happening.
Speaker:A lot of fun games and exciting
Speaker:happenings on the island, including the Mystic Trials, which
Speaker:is a series of challenges that no one is quite sure exactly what
Speaker:they are because they haven't happened in a really long time.
Speaker:Each of you is in your own compartment in the passenger part
Speaker:of the train.
Speaker:There's also a compartment ahead
Speaker:in the Virta Rail.
Speaker:That is like a dining compartment
Speaker:in a common area for people.
Speaker:Ahead of that is the engine.
Speaker:And behind you is nothing.
Speaker:It's just a window.
Speaker:If you go out there, there's a balcony where you can look out on
Speaker:the ocean.
Speaker:And there's nothing for miles
Speaker:other than just wheat.
Speaker:The world of Izan is a post
Speaker:-scarcity world where everybody has food and water and access to
Speaker:housing.
Speaker:So people fight over different
Speaker:things.
Speaker:right?
Speaker:So if you wanted to, for example, you have a breadmancer on the
Speaker:train, you could just gather wheat from outside the train.
Speaker:It's free for anybody to have.
Speaker:So that's also something that's
Speaker:available to you on the train.
Speaker:So everything's fine.
Speaker:Everything's beautiful.
Speaker:The train is nice.
Speaker:It smells great.
Speaker:The sun is shining.
Speaker:It's a warm day.
Speaker:What do you guys start to do as
Speaker:you wait for your arrival at Willowroot Island?
Speaker:Shonen wants wheat.
Speaker:And just grab a bunch of wheat as
Speaker:we're going by.
Speaker:You do need to be careful.
Speaker:It's kind of a delicate operation, right?
Speaker:So the wheat is composed of bushy parts that are more like
Speaker:traditional, like smaller pieces of wheat.
Speaker:And the big stocks are topped by these things called wheat stars,
Speaker:which are like hexagons that contain luma energy, which is the
Speaker:light energy of this world.
Speaker:The chromatic abilities use luma,
Speaker:right? And these gems, you can collect
Speaker:them from the wheat as well and use them for breadmancy and energy
Speaker:and attacks.
Speaker:You can use it as like a portable
Speaker:charge up for an attack if you have one in your pocket.
Speaker:And when they're drained, they go kind of clear rather than like
Speaker:golden and shiny.
Speaker:So you just want to be careful.
Speaker:Make sure you'll have to use your... dexterity, which I guess
Speaker:it's not called dexterity in this game.
Speaker:But you want to stick your hand out the window and grab some?
Speaker:Yeah, might as well.
Speaker:I mean, we're riding by it.
Speaker:All right.
Speaker:Try to get some wheat, catch some
Speaker:flies.
Speaker:All right.
Speaker:Okay, I'm going to say flip agility and athletics to stick
Speaker:your hand out the window and try to grab some wheat without
Speaker:shocking yourself.
Speaker:Okay, so that would be a flip.
Speaker:Is it one plus however many points I have in agility?
Speaker:It's your however many points you have.
Speaker:Well, yeah.
Speaker:So the first dot counts as a
Speaker:point.
Speaker:So everybody has one and
Speaker:everything at a base.
Speaker:So you take your whole agility and
Speaker:your whole athletics and put those together and flip that many cards.
Speaker:Do you want me to show you the cards or just tell you?
Speaker:No, you can just tell me.
Speaker:Tell me how many faces and aces
Speaker:you get.
Speaker:The other cards don't matter.
Speaker:One face card.
Speaker:You get one success?
Speaker:Yep.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:I say that's enough to gather about like.
Speaker:an ounce full of wheat and a luma gem.
Speaker:Awesome.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:So Kyle, add that to your
Speaker:inventory.
Speaker:Anybody else want to, want to do
Speaker:something while we're waiting to, to get to the destination.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Also flip agility and, uh, and
Speaker:athletics.
Speaker:The, my Jill, Jill, let me check
Speaker:on this.
Speaker:My agility is three.
Speaker:three.
Speaker:My athletics is four.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:And I drew a nine of spades.
Speaker:So that one doesn't, only a nine of spades in all the cards you
Speaker:flipped? Oh, I flipped more.
Speaker:Yeah, you flipped the total value of those stats.
Speaker:you Oh, okay, so I flipped nine cards.
Speaker:Yeah, you're really good at this.
Speaker:Yay.
Speaker:Let's see, there's a face card, king.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Just a face card is a win, right?
Speaker:It's a success.
Speaker:Well, flip them all and tell me
Speaker:how many faces and aces you get total.
Speaker:Oh, wait.
Speaker:That'll be your amount of
Speaker:successes.
Speaker:wait.
Speaker:That'll be your amount of successes.
Speaker:Draw nine cards.
Speaker:All right, let's start over.
Speaker:Draw cards.
Speaker:I don't have a real card deck with
Speaker:me.
Speaker:I just moved, so I just found
Speaker:something online.
Speaker:something online.
Speaker:No worries.
Speaker:Fuck me.
Speaker:All right, I have one face card.
Speaker:one face card.
Speaker:Oh, nine? Man, you only got...
Speaker:Okay, well, you also get a small bushel of wheat and a lumagem.
Speaker:They just sort of pop into your hand.
Speaker:It's pretty easy.
Speaker:You don't shock yourself.
Speaker:Nothing bad happens.
Speaker:And you put it into your
Speaker:inventory.
Speaker:Do aces give me anything?
Speaker:Yeah, faces and aces are both successes.
Speaker:Oh, never mind.
Speaker:I actually have one, two, three,
Speaker:four successes.
Speaker:Damn.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:You grab a lot of wheat, right?
Speaker:A farmer would be upset with you if you took it from his farm.
Speaker:And you get three Luma Gems total.
Speaker:Shonen not even off train.
Speaker:Already Shonen is conquering.
Speaker:All right.
Speaker:The train continues on.
Speaker:The day the sun keeps shining, it
Speaker:seems like several hours pass and the scenery hasn't really changed
Speaker:a lot.
Speaker:And the sun also seems to be kind
Speaker:of in the same spot.
Speaker:But, you know, you're soldiering
Speaker:on and sitting in your room so far.
Speaker:Anything else you guys want to do? Would you like to mill about the
Speaker:passenger? Sorry, would you like to mill
Speaker:about the dining car? It's a giant headache.
Speaker:Can I take a nap, please? Drew takes a nap.
Speaker:And his headache.
Speaker:Actually, can you flip?
Speaker:Who's Drew? Who's Drew?
Speaker:I'm sorry.
Speaker:I'm sorry.
Speaker:I'm so sorry.
Speaker:Bata.
Speaker:Is it Bata or Bata? Bata.
Speaker:Bata? Okay, Bata.
Speaker:All right.
Speaker:Bata, please flip brawn and
Speaker:bioalchemy to sleep and see if it does anything for you.

Speaker:You go to sleep and take a nap.
Speaker:kidding.
Speaker:You I'm kidding.
Speaker:Okay, great.
Speaker:Okay, great.
Speaker:I'm fucking with you.
Speaker:Okay, Drew's taking a nap.
Speaker:Anybody else want to do anything? Is the car smoking?
Speaker:Does it allow smoking? Can I smoke a cigarette?
Speaker:a a cigarette? Well, I don't know.
Speaker:You might want to check around and see if there's anybody there.
Speaker:I think it's probably non -smoking, but you might be able to
Speaker:get it past a non -paying attention employee.
Speaker:Sometimes these things are manned by robots as well.
Speaker:You haven't seen anybody walking by your cars in a while.
Speaker:I don't know.
Speaker:seen anybody walking by your cars
Speaker:in a while.
Speaker:Are we in individual little cars
Speaker:with like a sliding door or something?
Speaker:Yeah, you guys are each in your own rooms, and there's a dining
Speaker:car to the next one, which is a common area for everybody.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Leon's just going to open the car
Speaker:and look down the hallway left and right and see what I see.
Speaker:Totally empty hallway.
Speaker:You hear snoring in one of the
Speaker:rooms? Okay.
Speaker:Someone bursts out of his cabin, bursts out of his cabin, holding a
Speaker:giant pile of wheat.
Speaker:He's a shonen wheat lord.
Speaker:Leon, how do you respond to that? I close the door.
Speaker:I go back into my room.
Speaker:And can I crack a window and light
Speaker:a cigarette? Yeah, go ahead.
Speaker:Okay, that's what I want to do.
Speaker:And just try to relax.
Speaker:just try to relax.
Speaker:Field full of wheat to smoke.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Yeah, but I'm not dumping the
Speaker:cigarette out the window.
Speaker:Well, if you, let's see, somebody.
Speaker:Smoke is like coming through into my car and it's bothering me.
Speaker:Can I use telepathy to like get him to stop smoking?
Speaker:Bothering me.
Speaker:I don't know who's smoking, but I
Speaker:don't like it.
Speaker:like it.
Speaker:And I'm just frustrated by the whole threat.
Speaker:Everybody's already mad at each other.
Speaker:Okay, go ahead and flip wit and telepathy to try and get him to
Speaker:stop smoking.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:I have my telepathy is two, so I flip two for that.
Speaker:Yeah, and your width is at the top.
Speaker:It'll be usually an attribute.
Speaker:I got two faces.
Speaker:width is got two Okay.
Speaker:Now, Alex, please flip.
Speaker:Not Alex.
Speaker:I'm sorry.
Speaker:Leon.
Speaker:Leon.
Speaker:Could you flip? Leon.

Speaker:intelligence and bio -welchemy.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:I'll do intelligence.
Speaker:I just have three.
Speaker:I have no bioalchemy.
Speaker:So one, two, three.
Speaker:No successes.
Speaker:You suddenly feel an urge.
Speaker:Stubbed my cigarette out and I stub it out.
Speaker:You start to remember an ad you saw in Steel City that said
Speaker:smoking kills.
Speaker:suddenly feel an urge.
Speaker:start to remember an ad you saw in Steel City that said smoking
Speaker:kills.
Speaker:Damn it.
Speaker:I got to quit this shit one day.
Speaker:And then I flicked the stub, the
Speaker:stubbed out, right out the window.
Speaker:You see it catch a luma gym and it
Speaker:just goes, it explodes.
Speaker:What is a luma gym?
Speaker:A luma gym are those little hexagons at the top of like the
Speaker:wheat stalks.
Speaker:They're like, they can be
Speaker:explosive or used for energy, but they contain a luma.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Right, and Luma is kind of, sorry, remind me, like the mana kind of.
Speaker:Luma is chromatic energy, is chromatic energy, so any life
Speaker:energy, and Bra is spirit energy, and it connects to the mystic
Speaker:ability.
Speaker:Okay, thank you.
Speaker:Okay, thank you.
Speaker:I added two names for it to make
Speaker:it more confusing.
Speaker:Luma goes in, and Chroma is pooped
Speaker:out.

Speaker:Right after the camera stops rolling.
Speaker:Okay, roll, everybody flip intelligence and wit.
Speaker:Sorry, intelligence or wit and investigation.
Speaker:If you have nothing in the skill, do you still flip one for it?
Speaker:you No.
Speaker:Skills don't get that benefit,
Speaker:only attributes.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:And this is, we're going to consider this kind of like a
Speaker:perception check.
Speaker:I don't shuffle my cards back into
Speaker:the deck, right? You only shuffle once the deck is
Speaker:spent.
Speaker:only shuffle once the deck is
Speaker:spent.
Speaker:Two successes.

Speaker:Spelled dough.
Speaker:Just so everybody knows.
Speaker:Jokers are a thing.
Speaker:And Jokers are, I get to have fun.
Speaker:And there's a consequence for you.
Speaker:So that's like a critical fail.
Speaker:Did you get any successes with the
Speaker:Joker? successes with the Joker?
Speaker:I got an ace of face and a Joker.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:And David, sorry, Shonan.
Speaker:Shonan get big egg.

Speaker:So Shonan, who has gotten on this
Speaker:train to, you know, visit the millennial fair is just so happy
Speaker:with his, his bushel of wheat.
Speaker:He doesn't notice anything wrong.
Speaker:And he's just like happy as a clam in his room.
Speaker:Shonan make bed of wheat.
Speaker:Comfy.
Speaker:He just starts sleeping.
Speaker:He makes like a pillow.
Speaker:Shonan not know what Luma is either.
Speaker:pillow.
Speaker:Shonan not know what Luma is
Speaker:either.
Speaker:No, no idea.
Speaker:You just like, you shock yourself on the gym.
Speaker:Like every time you lay your head down, you're like, ow, show it in
Speaker:sleep now.
Speaker:Ow. Just like home, sleep in
Speaker:volcano.
Speaker:Doug, you sort of get this feeling
Speaker:that something is off on the train.
Speaker:You've been this way before, after you left home.
Speaker:And it just seems like it's taking a lot longer than it should.
Speaker:And the way that the waves are changing is not how you remember.
Speaker:Everything seems a little too flat.
Speaker:Cyber K, you sort of feel that something is wrong and you start
Speaker:to get the answer, right? It comes into your head and you
Speaker:start to see some kind of like blobby figure, you know, come up
Speaker:in your holographic memory units.
Speaker:And then it shorts out and you
Speaker:poop your pants.
Speaker:You thought so hard.
Speaker:Like this is robot poop, right? So you just like leaked oil.
Speaker:just oiled it yeah is he fully a robot or does he have an actual
Speaker:anus so you cyber k is a corzite so they are technically all
Speaker:synthetic but they have a a sentient brain okay so i have like
Speaker:a like a fabricating like a fabricated in my pants you just
Speaker:had you just had thought so hard that you had an oil leak and and
Speaker:the the pipe happened to like break you cyber k is a corzite so
Speaker:they are technically all synthetic but they have a a sentient brain
Speaker:so i have like a like a fabricating like a fabricated in
Speaker:my pants just had you just had thought so hard that you had an
Speaker:oil leak and and the the pipe happened to like break in your
Speaker:pants area so it looks like you pooped yourself but you did not
Speaker:poop yourself technically okay it doesn't smell bad it's actually
Speaker:got like a pleasant kind of lavender scent yeah built in
Speaker:poopery yeah totally exactly bada how many successes did you get two
Speaker:two bada you start to notice something is wrong and you smell
Speaker:the unmistakable scent of moss it's really weird because this is
Speaker:a clean train that you had doesn't smell bad it's actually got like a
Speaker:pleasant kind of lavender in poopery totally exactly how many
Speaker:successes did you get two two bada you start to notice something is
Speaker:wrong and you smell the unmistakable scent of moss it's
Speaker:really weird because this is a clean train But you smell moss for
Speaker:some reason.
Speaker:It's very strange.
Speaker:Leon, you feel like instant dread.
Speaker:Your years of being a private eye
Speaker:in Steel City are setting off some kind of alarm bells in your heart.
Speaker:You know something is wrong.
Speaker:And you also start to smell this
Speaker:really overwhelming mossy scent.
Speaker:And it feels colder than it ought
Speaker:to be.
Speaker:It's weird.
Speaker:The sun is shining.
Speaker:You notice that the...
Speaker:Light shining in through your window doesn't really seem to make
Speaker:you feel any warmer.
Speaker:Creepy.
Speaker:What do you guys do next? Clean my pants.
Speaker:This is for good measure.
Speaker:Can you flip a bio -alchemy to pee
Speaker:your pants? Okay.
Speaker:He said clean his pants.
Speaker:Clean your pants?
Speaker:I thought he was going to clean his pants before he does anything
Speaker:else.
Speaker:I thought he was going to clean
Speaker:his pants before he does anything else.
Speaker:That's logical.
Speaker:You did say pee, though?
Speaker:I feel like the smell of poopery would give me away.
Speaker:I feel like the smell of poopery would give me away.
Speaker:I see.
Speaker:Okay, so you clean up your pants.
Speaker:Okay, I'm going to say you don't need to flip for that.
Speaker:You're a Corzite.
Speaker:You have the competency to clean
Speaker:your pants.
Speaker:Yes.
Speaker:Are we still on the train or have we gotten off the train?
Speaker:You guys are still on the train.
Speaker:guys are still on the train.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:It's still going.
Speaker:The sun seems to be in the same place.
Speaker:The weed is flat.
Speaker:You're still moving at the same
Speaker:fast rate.
Speaker:It's about 1 ,500 miles across
Speaker:just to the center.
Speaker:The ,500 miles across just to the
Speaker:center.
Speaker:Sorry, the radius of...
Speaker:The Wheat Star Ocean is about 1 ,500 miles.
Speaker:It's a long ways.
Speaker:And Willow Root is a small island,
Speaker:but you can see it from a pretty good distance.
Speaker:Like the tree itself, the willow tree that the island is famous
Speaker:for, stretches about 10 miles into the air.
Speaker:So you would be able to see it by now based on your knowledge of the
Speaker:island.
Speaker:Since I've been on this train
Speaker:before, coming back to this island before, I would probably have an
Speaker:idea of how much longer it's going to take to get.
Speaker:Yeah, it should be pretty soon, but it doesn't seem like it's
Speaker:happening for some reason.
Speaker:I'm going to move towards where
Speaker:the exit, if I can be one of the first people off the train.
Speaker:Okay, you'll go up towards the dining car.
Speaker:That's where the main exit is.
Speaker:If I open the door and look out
Speaker:again, do I notice anything different?
Speaker:I know that you mentioned that it's colder than it should be.
Speaker:Can I see anything? Is there anybody in the hallway
Speaker:now? No, it doesn't seem like there's
Speaker:anybody in the hallway.
Speaker:It's weird.
Speaker:I'm going to make my way towards the engine.
Speaker:It's really quiet, actually.
Speaker:You're going to make your way
Speaker:towards the engine? Okay.
Speaker:Yeah, maybe the front of the train.
Speaker:Is there like a conductor for these Virta trains?
Speaker:Sometimes they can be a robot, and sometimes they can be a person.
Speaker:But the train is strangely quiet, and you move up through the dining
Speaker:car towards the engine room.
Speaker:And you see Doug is already
Speaker:waiting next to the exit.
Speaker:Hey.
Speaker:Hey, Leon.
Speaker:Do we know each other?
Speaker:We don't know each other.
Speaker:No, none of you should know each
Speaker:other.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Figured we'd be here by now.
Speaker:Seems like the train's running
Speaker:slow.
Speaker:running Yeah, I know.
Speaker:I don't like it.
Speaker:it. I'm going to head to the front
Speaker:if you want to come look with me.
Speaker:I guess so.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Nathan, we're going to need more
Speaker:oop from you.
Speaker:Oh, I don't want to be here, and I
Speaker:don't want to talk to him.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Very antsy about this train, so I'm just kind of... I don't like
Speaker:that he came in here.
Speaker:I wanted to be alone.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:Okay, so, Leon, you...
Speaker:I'm going through the dining car.
Speaker:Can I please pause and pick up,
Speaker:like, and pick up, like, random bits of cookies and food that
Speaker:people have left by? I might need them.
Speaker:It's weird.
Speaker:There's a bunch of empty plates,
Speaker:but there doesn't seem to be any food in the room, and it doesn't
Speaker:seem like anybody's been eating in here ever.
Speaker:There's plates set out.
Speaker:It looks like the tables are set
Speaker:for people to have dinner, and there's no dust on the tables, but
Speaker:it doesn't look like...
Speaker:There's been food here recently or
Speaker:in a long time.
Speaker:That mossy smell is actually
Speaker:stronger as you get closer to the engine.
Speaker:What was your name, detective? Leon.
Speaker:Leon, okay, I'm Doug.
Speaker:Nice to meet you.
Speaker:I'm just fucked up and weird here.
Speaker:Are you smelling moss?
Speaker:I'm not, are you? Yeah.
Speaker:It feels like that has a lower implication that I don't know
Speaker:about yet.
Speaker:I'm not sure, not sure, but that
Speaker:weed looks weird as hell.
Speaker:Perhaps we will find out soon.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Do you want to check out the door
Speaker:to the engine room? Yeah.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:You open up the door to the engine
Speaker:room and you find yourself in that little space between areas where
Speaker:there's a little bridge for the next part.
Speaker:And, you know, the air is like whizzing by because you're
Speaker:actually out in the open where the trains connect.
Speaker:And you try the door to the engine room and it's locked.
Speaker:What do you guys do? Got any ideas, Doug?
Speaker:Let's see.
Speaker:I don't know that I know what to
Speaker:do here.
Speaker:I guess I can try to open this
Speaker:door.
Speaker:I have, if I can open it, it, I
Speaker:have with my telekinesis.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:You try to open the door with telekinesis.
Speaker:That will be, I'm going to say wit and telekinesis flip.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Nothing.
Speaker:No successes.
Speaker:The door sort of rattles.
Speaker:The door sort of rattles and doesn't really do anything.
Speaker:rattles.
Speaker:Leon, surely it's overkill to try
Speaker:to blow this door up, right? I've got a terrible feeling.
Speaker:We need to find out what's going on.
Speaker:How is the door made of steel? Can we tell what kind of material?
Speaker:Yeah, it's like it's just like an iron door.
Speaker:Yeah, it's like it's just like an iron door.
Speaker:It's not really anything special.
Speaker:Is there any kind of lock picking
Speaker:or mechanism we could try to hack or break or be more like a
Speaker:physical tearing it down the door? there any kind of lock picking or
Speaker:mechanism we could try to hack or break or be more like a physical
Speaker:tearing it down the door? It seems like this door does.
Speaker:seems like this door does.
Speaker:You notice that it does have a
Speaker:lock.
Speaker:There is a keyhole and you could
Speaker:try to pick it.
Speaker:OK, I'll try that.
Speaker:OK. You could also try to blow it up.
Speaker:I mean, that's okay.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:to blow it up.
Speaker:I mean, that's okay.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Oh yeah.
Speaker:If you've got, do we have anything to blow it up with Doug?
Speaker:Doug? I have an idea, but I think your
Speaker:idea is more subtle than mine.
Speaker:So let's try yours first.
Speaker:try yours first.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:We'll try that.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:You're going to flip.
Speaker:I'm going to say, dang, maybe wit
Speaker:and agility.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Both attributes.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Cause there's not really, there's
Speaker:not really a great analog to lock.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Of course.
Speaker:Three successes.
Speaker:Okay, you pick that door, like, so quickly.
Speaker:Like, it honestly is a little sexy, right?
Speaker:It's clear that, like, you know how to use your hands.
Speaker:clear like, you know how to use your And the door just kind of,
Speaker:like, opens up, like, you know.
Speaker:So it just, like, swings open on
Speaker:its own, basically.
Speaker:And you walk into the compartment
Speaker:and you find that nobody's there.
Speaker:The train is driving itself.
Speaker:That's not unusual.
Speaker:In this universe.
Speaker:That is unusual.
Speaker:There should be a robot at the
Speaker:helm or a human.
Speaker:Or, you know, a sentient being.
Speaker:Do you know how to drive one of these?
Speaker:Absolutely do not.
Speaker:I'd be screwed.
Speaker:That was some hell -impressive lockpicking.
Speaker:You notice the engine, which runs on these LumaGems, it sucks them
Speaker:up from the wheat ocean and deposits them back as it goes
Speaker:along.
Speaker:It's kind of like a turbine.
Speaker:And you notice that there's no glow coming from the window to it
Speaker:either.
Speaker:The train just seems to be running
Speaker:without the engine on.
Speaker:That's really wrong.
Speaker:Did we feel the wind going by when we were outside?
Speaker:Like we are moving.
Speaker:We did.
Speaker:Yes, the train is definitely moving.
Speaker:Definitely moving.
Speaker:Definitely moving.
Speaker:I think we should look for other people to help us, Doug.
Speaker:I don't know what's going on.
Speaker:And maybe we could get other
Speaker:players involved.
Speaker:could get other I think that's a
Speaker:really good idea.
Speaker:Surely there's someone else on
Speaker:this train besides just the two of us.
Speaker:I'd like to head back to the rooms and start knocking on doors.
Speaker:That's my game plan.
Speaker:But we can also.
Speaker:Meanwhile.
Speaker:Meanwhile.
Speaker:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:So, yeah, go start knocking on the doors of the compartments.
Speaker:You knock on Shonen's door, you knock on Bada's door, and you
Speaker:knock on Cyber K's door.
Speaker:Shonen hate being woke.
Speaker:Shonen open door with bad attitude.
Speaker:What? Listen, I got a bad feeling about
Speaker:this.
Speaker:It feels like we should be here.
Speaker:You got a bad dream.
Speaker:we should be here.
Speaker:You got a bad Have milk.
Speaker:Go back to sleep.
Speaker:Wait a minute.
Speaker:a minute.
Speaker:Excuse me.
Speaker:me. Lizard man, please.
Speaker:It helped.
Speaker:Something's fucking weird here.
Speaker:What weird? What else on this train?
Speaker:weird here.
Speaker:else on this train?
Speaker:What? Yeah, we've not passed anyone
Speaker:else, right, Alan? No, you haven't passed anybody
Speaker:else other than you hear some people in the compartments that
Speaker:are, you know, supposed to be held by passengers, but you haven't
Speaker:seen a single employee.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:And if I knocked on every door, is David and...
Speaker:Yeah, Cyber -K and Bata are out as well.
Speaker:Cyber -K and Bata are out as well.
Speaker:Okay, those are the only people
Speaker:who have answered? Right, well, Cyber -K and Bata
Speaker:filter out into the hallway as you knock on the doors, and everybody
Speaker:is now here and talking together.
Speaker:We'll say that.
Speaker:Yeah, cool.
Speaker:I've written this train dozens of
Speaker:times, and there's always...
Speaker:Robot, there's employees, and
Speaker:there's no one here.
Speaker:I've written this train there's no
Speaker:one here.
Speaker:There's no one driving the train,
Speaker:no one driving the train, guys.
Speaker:Service downhill.
Speaker:Say that again.
Speaker:again.
Speaker:Okay, I'm going to say everybody flip wit or intelligence and
Speaker:survival.
Speaker:No successes and a joker.
Speaker:Don't know.
Speaker:Success.
Speaker:No successes.
Speaker:No successes.
Speaker:Cyber K? An ace and a face.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:No successes.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Shonen, you are, again, just...
Speaker:Completely oblivious to what's going on.
Speaker:You have a bad attitude about this.
Speaker:You're not sure why they're waking you up, right?
Speaker:You're on this sunny, beautiful train and you got your wheat and
Speaker:you would rather be sleeping on your wheat right now.
Speaker:Like you in Shonen's head.
Speaker:Doug, you got two successes.
Speaker:One success.
Speaker:You notice that mossy smell again
Speaker:and it's a lot stronger and you start to feel this deep sense of
Speaker:dread and you feel this pulse.
Speaker:of energy coming at you from the
Speaker:center of this circle that you formed with these other people.
Speaker:You feel a weird connection to them right away, and you're not
Speaker:sure why, and it doesn't necessarily feel good.
Speaker:Cyber -K, you got two successes.
Speaker:Your sensors, having recovered
Speaker:from that earlier problem, go back into activation mode, and that
Speaker:mossy smell is identified right away.
Speaker:It's from the Kryptaren swamp.
Speaker:It's the smell of moss from a
Speaker:Kryptaren swamp.
Speaker:And you can smell like the
Speaker:particles of that moss and identify the exact, you know,
Speaker:composition of it.
Speaker:And it shouldn't be here.
Speaker:Kryptaren swamp is thousands of miles away.
Speaker:You should not be smelling that.
Speaker:You also, before I get back to
Speaker:you, I'm going to go to Leon's thing just real quick because he
Speaker:had a joker.
Speaker:But we're going to get back to
Speaker:your flip.
Speaker:Cyber K. So Leon, your flip, you
Speaker:got a Joker and only a Joker? No successes and a Joker?
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:So your survival instinct kind of
Speaker:craps out in this moment.
Speaker:You kind of are like, you start to
Speaker:wonder, maybe, I don't know, maybe I'm just imagining things.
Speaker:And, you know, you kind of wave it off for a second until you hear
Speaker:the sensors and the Corzite across from you start to go off.
Speaker:Cyber K, you feel that same energy pulse that Doug felt.
Speaker:You feel that same connection.
Speaker:And again, it doesn't necessarily
Speaker:feel good.
Speaker:And when you feel it, an image
Speaker:processes and takes shape in your mind and it's a tadpole.
Speaker:And you recognize it as a trogite mind control tadpole.
Speaker:And you realize that it's in all of your brains.
Speaker:You're not on a train.
Speaker:You're not sure exactly where you
Speaker:are, but it's starting to, the world around you is starting to
Speaker:melt for Doug.
Speaker:And CyberK specifically.
Speaker:Everybody else is sort of still under the spell.
Speaker:So you're going to want to tell them what's happening probably in
Speaker:your own inner experience.
Speaker:You have malware in your brains.
Speaker:Computer has a virus.
Speaker:How do you guys respond to that?
Speaker:I don't think this is happening.
Speaker:I think something's going on.
Speaker:Somebody has us.
Speaker:respond to that?
Speaker:Who? What's happening?
Speaker:I just have a giant headache.
Speaker:I don't know what's going on at
Speaker:all.
Speaker:know what's going on all.
Speaker:And we, either of us, help them to get out of it.
Speaker:I have very high chroma.
Speaker:Can I use that to help us all kind
Speaker:of get grounded? Shonen's going to do an aside to
Speaker:Drew's character.
Speaker:Shonen's going to an aside to
Speaker:Drew's character.
Speaker:Shonen think maybe a little too
Speaker:much Luma in the rest of the train.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Cyber -K, you have the...
Speaker:Sorry, Doug, you can try to use Chroma in some way.
Speaker:You could maybe try to shock them out of it with a solar flare or
Speaker:something like that.
Speaker:And Cyber -K, you also have...
Speaker:That's not what that power is really for.
Speaker:That's That's true.
Speaker:But Cyber -K, you also have
Speaker:specific information about the nature of what's happening.
Speaker:So if you wanted to tell everybody... like exactly what's
Speaker:going on you could also try to like convince them with like
Speaker:persuasion just depends on how you guys want to go about it i reckon
Speaker:attempt a very precise blow that would on the back of the head that
Speaker:would render the tadpole like in you know unable to continue okay
Speaker:so you you want to try and like like get rid of it the possibility
Speaker:yeah we can try that okay on how you guys want to go about it i
Speaker:reckon attempt a very precise blow that would on the back of the head
Speaker:that would render the tadpole like in you know unable to continue so
Speaker:you you want to try and like like get rid of yeah we can try that
Speaker:Which one do you guys want to do? You guys can do both, actually, if
Speaker:you want.
Speaker:You guys can both try to take an
Speaker:action.
Speaker:Because your characters haven't
Speaker:talked to each other about this yet.
Speaker:What are we thinking here? I'm trying to figure out what I
Speaker:can do, because I...
Speaker:Really good bio -alchemy.
Speaker:Could I, like... I want to wake them up, want to wake them up, the
Speaker:other three up.
Speaker:Yeah, you could use bio -alchemy
Speaker:or, like, maybe telepathy, since the tadpole is telepathic.
Speaker:Can I use alchemy? I use alchemy?
Speaker:Yeah, yeah, you can use, let's say, intelligence and bio
Speaker:-alchemy.
Speaker:To try to like get them on the
Speaker:same page as us.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Three successes.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:So you use your bioalchemy to reach out through the umbra and
Speaker:sort of touch these people's minds, right?
Speaker:You feel that pulse of energy again, that connection.
Speaker:And instead of shying away from it because it feels like kind of
Speaker:gross and slimy, you lean into it and you feel your mind connect to
Speaker:the others and connect to the other tadpoles.
Speaker:Like a snap.
Speaker:Everyone wakes up.
Speaker:The sun is gone.
Speaker:It's dark.
Speaker:And you're each in barred cells in what looks like a dark, long
Speaker:corridor.
Speaker:There's a walkway in between and
Speaker:there's three cells on each side of this corridor.
Speaker:And you hear a rumbling noise coming from a door to the end of
Speaker:the corridor and then stairs at the other end.
Speaker:And just this like rumbling sort of like mechanical noise
Speaker:happening.
Speaker:And that smell of moss, the smell
Speaker:of moss permeates everything.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:You finally can sort of smell where you are.
Speaker:It's covered like the room is sort of like covered in like algae
Speaker:that's creeping up the bars.
Speaker:And there's brown sludge sleep
Speaker:seeping through cracks and these metal walls that are riveted
Speaker:together.
Speaker:And you find yourself in prison.
Speaker:And what looks like, I think, Leon, if you could flip
Speaker:streetwise.
Speaker:Intelligence and streetwise.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Two successes.
Speaker:Three successes? Two.
Speaker:Two.
Speaker:So you remember from a book you
Speaker:read once that this is the exact description of a Trogite hidden
Speaker:kingdom slavership.
Speaker:And you guys are trapped in the
Speaker:belly of it.
Speaker:And the Trogites of Hidden Kingdom
Speaker:appear to have put mind control tadpoles in your brain that you
Speaker:have now overcome.
Speaker:And they start to die and crawl
Speaker:out of your ears and fall to the floor.
Speaker:And they shrivel up and sort of hiss and go, I just wanted to
Speaker:learn to play the guitar.
Speaker:I just wanted to learn to play the
Speaker:guitar.
Speaker:And you guys are now free from the
Speaker:mind control.
Speaker:Nice.
Speaker:That's perfect time.
Speaker:Jason just joined.
Speaker:He's free from the mind control.
Speaker:Yes, he's in the cell as well.
Speaker:Yes, it looks like Monko wakes up as well.
Speaker:He didn't wake up at all during that trip.
Speaker:And in fact, it seems like Monko is maybe not doing so well.
Speaker:He's shivering on the ground.
Speaker:Can one of you maybe try to call
Speaker:out to him and wake him up? I mean, other guy that I don't
Speaker:know your name.
Speaker:Wake up.
Speaker:You see, yeah, you see a little dinosaur boy.
Speaker:He's like a T -Rex with, you know, a little squat T -Rex with a
Speaker:parka.
Speaker:Shonen actually know all other
Speaker:dinosaur boy.
Speaker:Wake up, little dino.
Speaker:Wake up.
Speaker:I'm here.
Speaker:Wake up, little dino.
Speaker:In a really fucked up situation.
Speaker:little a really fucked up situation.
Speaker:Is it here or is it really hot in here?
Speaker:Is it here or is it really hot in here?
Speaker:Oh, it's cold.
Speaker:You're sick.
Speaker:Yep.
Speaker:I'm confused then.
Speaker:Can, Monko, can you please flip Brawn?
Speaker:And let's say, yeah, brawn and bioalchemy or athletics.
Speaker:Are you asking me one or the other?
Speaker:Yeah, sorry, brawn and bioalchemy or athletics.
Speaker:Flip that amount of cards.
Speaker:I literally just sat down.
Speaker:Yeah, well.
Speaker:I should have been ready, idiot.
Speaker:Can we just flip a card? He's been unconscious.
Speaker:He's trying to, you know, stir.
Speaker:Yeah, it's fine.
Speaker:Okay, take a minute, Little Diamond.
Speaker:Take a minute to collect your wits.
Speaker:I'm collecting my wits.
Speaker:Okay, we're going to skip that.
Speaker:I flip and I get a jack.
Speaker:Okay, one face.
Speaker:So you wake up and you're not feeling awesome, but you don't
Speaker:barf.
Speaker:You sort of like hold it back and
Speaker:like straighten yourself up and sit up and you're like just
Speaker:wondering where you are or what's happening.
Speaker:I have a very strong digestive system.
Speaker:we're going to skip that.
Speaker:I flip and I get a jack.
Speaker:Anybody want to talk to the new character and explain to him where
Speaker:he is and what's happening? I'm fumbling through my bag just
Speaker:trying to find all these papers to figure out where I am.
Speaker:happening? You find that your bag is empty
Speaker:and that the charger for your warming parka is missing.
Speaker:And that's why you're shivering.
Speaker:Okay, that explains it.
Speaker:find that your why I know there's a piece of paper in my bag,
Speaker:though, that surely didn't get taken.
Speaker:Yeah? Have you found it?
Speaker:Like a character sheet variety.
Speaker:Your identity papers?
Speaker:You gotta have those identity papers in order to get where
Speaker:you're going.
Speaker:Is there anyone... I just threw
Speaker:the cat out of my bag.
Speaker:just threw the cat out of my bag.
Speaker:He pulls a cat? He pulls a cat out of his...
Speaker:When I'm missing my charger, and when I'm cold, I bring the cat
Speaker:along.
Speaker:But the cat was dead, so I threw
Speaker:it out.
Speaker:pulls a I bring the cat along.
Speaker:Okay, so there's a dead cat in the room with you now.
Speaker:Fair.
Speaker:Bada, you're a little offended
Speaker:because canids are very close to, you know, there are cats in the
Speaker:world, but there are also cat people who are like, you know,
Speaker:some of the best people you know are cat people.
Speaker:And you're a little upset that he pulled a dead cat out of his bag.
Speaker:he pulled I don't like that.
Speaker:I'm mad at you.
Speaker:Dino kid.
Speaker:That's fine.
Speaker:I kick you in the shin.
Speaker:You can't.
Speaker:You guys are in cells.
Speaker:kid.
Speaker:I kick at your shin glaring through.
Speaker:whatever the material is that is keeping us in no fighting we need
Speaker:to work together okay so you all you all like gather around the you
Speaker:know edges of yourselves and you explain to monco what happened
Speaker:that you guys were all on a a hallucinatory train that was
Speaker:taking you to willow root island for the fourth millennium festival
Speaker:and was this a willing hallucinatory train no you had a
Speaker:mind you had a trogite fighting we need to work together to work
Speaker:together okay so you all you all like gather around the you know
Speaker:edges of yourselves and you explain to monco what happened
Speaker:that you guys were all on a a hallucinatory train that was
Speaker:taking you to willow root island for the fourth millennium festival
Speaker:and was this a willing hallucinatory train you had a mind
Speaker:you had a trogite mind control tadpole in your brains that doug
Speaker:nathan saved you from using his bioalchemy skills you were asleep
Speaker:for the entire thing that's yeah that's good that's just a
Speaker:testament for my stamina yeah and by the way the wheat wasn't real
Speaker:there is no wheat in your inventories so go ahead and erase
Speaker:that yeah i was just gonna say this looks like the we're in the
Speaker:bottom or the belly of a frog eye flavor ship i've seen these types
Speaker:of things before i was just gonna say this looks like the we're in
Speaker:the bottom or the belly of a frog eye flavor ship i've seen these
Speaker:types of things before Allegedly.
Speaker:He read about it in a book in a
Speaker:historical fiction.
Speaker:in fiction.
Speaker:So I just share that with the group.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:So people are aware.
Speaker:Shonen thinks that it's time to get out.
Speaker:And Shonen's going to try and break the bars of his...
Speaker:He's going to try to rip the bars out of his cage.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Do brawn and athletics.
Speaker:Brawn.
Speaker:So you got three brawn, three
Speaker:brawn, four athletics for seven.
Speaker:Hey, Jason, make sure you're
Speaker:watching the screen share so you get the music.
Speaker:Oh, I'm definitely feeling the vibe.
Speaker:Okay, cool, cool.
Speaker:I just wanted to make sure.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:It wasn't playing for everybody at
Speaker:first.
Speaker:I'm loving it.
Speaker:I'm loving it.
Speaker:Before showing it makes a bunch of
Speaker:noise, can I use bio -alchemy or telekinesis to tell if anyone is
Speaker:close by? showing it makes a bunch of Yeah,
Speaker:yeah.
Speaker:You can use, let's see, you can
Speaker:use Chroma to detect life nearby, or you can use Mystic to detect,
Speaker:like, like a specific person, right?
Speaker:Mystic is like, in Dragon Ball Z, right?
Speaker:Early on, they can just detect that there's a large power nearby.
Speaker:Later on, they gain the ability to tell whether that power is evil,
Speaker:good, or scary, or whatever, right?
Speaker:So Chroma would probably be your best bet in this case.
Speaker:Hold on, Shonen.
Speaker:Let me check something real fast.
Speaker:Shonen knows I already flipped cards.
Speaker:Two successes? I didn't get any.
Speaker:I had no successes anyway.
Speaker:anyway.
Speaker:Okay, while you're trying to reach out, you're like, wait a minute,
Speaker:wait a minute.
Speaker:Chroma!
Speaker:You just hear, like, this loud metal screeching, and Shonen has
Speaker:ripped the bars off of his cage, and he's out in the hallway now.
Speaker:Oh, my fucking ears! the hallway now.
Speaker:Oh, my I got no successes because I was knocked out of my focus.
Speaker:Knocked out of your gourd? Gourd!
Speaker:Knocked.
Speaker:Knocked right out of his gourd.
Speaker:My ears didn't hurt that bad because my parka kind of insulates
Speaker:it.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:You've got your hood up? Yeah, I always have my hood up.
Speaker:Oh, you're out.
Speaker:you're out.
Speaker:What are you going to do about the rest of us?
Speaker:Shonen getting out of here while getting is good.
Speaker:All of you just rip bars off your cages.
Speaker:Yeah, I'm also going to try and rip the fucking bars off, please.
Speaker:Okay, brawn and athletics.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Three successes.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Somehow this five foot nothing fox boy is able to rip his bars off
Speaker:too.
Speaker:It appears that they're a little
Speaker:bit rusted.
Speaker:This is an old ship and it just
Speaker:kind of comes out.
Speaker:You think that maybe like all of
Speaker:them are kind of maybe a little weak based on that.
Speaker:I can do that.
Speaker:I'm going to try to tear it off
Speaker:too.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Brown and athletics.
Speaker:Do I flip for those numbers
Speaker:combined? Yes.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Exactly.
Speaker:Sorry.
Speaker:We're throwing you in.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:And faces are successes.
Speaker:Faces and aces and keep the jokers in.
Speaker:Those are, those are critical fails.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Well, I critical failed.
Speaker:How many successes? Cause that does make a difference.
Speaker:I'm still flipping.
Speaker:Faces Two successes and a joker.
Speaker:Two successes and a joker.
Speaker:All right, so you headbutt that
Speaker:barred door, and it comes off of it, and then it bounces off of the
Speaker:cage across from you and comes back and hits you in the head, and
Speaker:you're out cold again.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:It's just like...
Speaker:I'm not very strong.
Speaker:I'd like to use chroma to somehow get the bars off.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:How do you want to approach it?
Speaker:Chroma's a heat -related ability, so you can do anything that you
Speaker:can think of.
Speaker:Just make up whatever you want.
Speaker:I think I'll just push really hard, and as I'm doing it, just
Speaker:kind of try to melt the lock so that it'll give.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Yeah, flip either...
Speaker:Yes, Wit and Chroma.
Speaker:Two successes and a Joker.
Speaker:Okay, you are able to get that door off, but the metal heats up
Speaker:as it's going.
Speaker:right it takes a little bit longer
Speaker:than you expected and you sort of like burn your hands and you're
Speaker:like ah yeah right and then it falls back and slams on your toes
Speaker:as well oh god and i'm gonna say minus one two athletics for i
Speaker:don't know the next like couple minutes i'm gonna try hopping up
Speaker:and down yeah yeah fuck fuck god damn it doug your sister told you
Speaker:you usually do stuff like this before on your god and i'm gonna
Speaker:say minus one two athletics for i don't know the next like couple
Speaker:minutes i'm gonna try hopping up and down yeah yeah yeah fuck god
Speaker:damn it doug your sister told you you usually do stuff like this
Speaker:before Shonen's going to look around and see if there's like a
Speaker:key hanging somewhere.
Speaker:One second, I think Cyber -K was
Speaker:going to try and get out of his cell as well.
Speaker:I'm going to try to reverse engineer the lock.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Engineering and intelligence.
Speaker:Three successes.
Speaker:Three successes.
Speaker:You reverse engineer the lock so well that you are able to remove
Speaker:the lock from its housing and put it in your pocket for later use.
Speaker:And then the door just sort of falls over.
Speaker:I have a question.
Speaker:Is my current state unconscious?
Speaker:unconscious or is that a health stat state you are you are right
Speaker:now role play unconscious it is it can be a health set but right now
Speaker:you're just like kind of like dazed it's not a big deal let's
Speaker:say you took uh you don't take any health damage from it i got i got
Speaker:the tweety birds gotcha yeah i like that one yeah okay so you
Speaker:sort of wake up from that and you're like a little bit dazed but
Speaker:you're okay everybody's out in the corridor now and you're all ready
Speaker:to go and you're angry is it can be a health set got i got the
Speaker:tweety birds gotcha yeah i like okay so you sort of wake up from
Speaker:that and you're like a little bit dazed but you're okay everybody's
Speaker:out in the corridor now and you're all ready to go and you're angry
Speaker:In fact, you all start to kind of remember what happened, right?
Speaker:What was the reason you guys came here in the first place?
Speaker:Why did you...
Speaker:You were looking to get on a train
Speaker:ahead of the Fourth Millennium Festival on Willow Root Island.
Speaker:That was true.
Speaker:You remember wanting to go to
Speaker:Willow Root Island, but what was your motivation for going there in
Speaker:the first place? What made you look for that train
Speaker:when you started? Let's start with Manco.
Speaker:Manco? Manco.
Speaker:Manco.
Speaker:Manco, what brought you here?
Speaker:Oh. I heard that there is a dragon guardian on the island who will
Speaker:grant those who pass a trial a request.
Speaker:Any request.
Speaker:Or maybe it's a specific request.
Speaker:I always said it too, but it's not as easy as you think.
Speaker:a specific request.
Speaker:I always said it too, but it's not
Speaker:as You all notice that Doug is an aizen.
Speaker:He has no nose.
Speaker:His skin is a deep nightshade
Speaker:violet.
Speaker:And he has horns growing out of
Speaker:his head that are crystalline and covered in flowers.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Is there a slur for aizens?
Speaker:there a slur for aizens? Don't use it.
Speaker:I'm very offended.
Speaker:Get out of here, guys.
Speaker:use it.
Speaker:I'm very offended.
Speaker:Get out of here, guys.
Speaker:This is non -roleplay.
Speaker:This is just a general question.
Speaker:Sure it is.
Speaker:Aizen are sort of like the elves, so if you guys want to come up
Speaker:with one, if you want to come up with a funny slur for Aizen,
Speaker:they're an island -based people.
Speaker:Izzy's?
Speaker:That's pretty good.
Speaker:I like that.
Speaker:I was going to say, like, breaders or something, because they're,
Speaker:like, obsessed with bread.
Speaker:They totally are.
Speaker:bread.
Speaker:They totally are.
Speaker:They are totally obsessed with bread.
Speaker:They're sour days.
Speaker:Oh, what about loaves?
Speaker:sour days.
Speaker:Oh, what about loaves?
Speaker:What about loaves? Fucking loaf.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:I hate that.
Speaker:That's deep.
Speaker:That's great.
Speaker:That's awesome.
Speaker:deep.
Speaker:That's great.
Speaker:Which one hurts you the most,
Speaker:Nathan? That one, actually.
Speaker:Oh, wait, there's a tacky.
Speaker:Yeaster.
Speaker:tacky.
Speaker:You going back home for yeaster?
Speaker:going back home That's a holiday in Eisenculture is yeaster.
Speaker:They just hide loaves of bread.
Speaker:a holiday in They get really soggy
Speaker:in the grass.
Speaker:It's not fun.
Speaker:They've been doing it for a long time, but nobody likes it.
Speaker:I don't know about y 'all, but I was trying to get on a Virta rail
Speaker:to check out this tip I got about Gold Meadow Tech.
Speaker:y That's why I was on the way.
Speaker:No, no, that's good.
Speaker:Thank you.
Speaker:no, that's good.
Speaker:Thank Thank you, Leon.
Speaker:Yes, so there seems to be some
Speaker:sort of expansion of business.
Speaker:on willow root island from gold
Speaker:meadow tech or at least they seem to be courting people down there
Speaker:but leon do you want to reveal anything else about your case or
Speaker:do you because you can make this up however you want i don't have
Speaker:anything written for that oh i just i got a lead right you just
Speaker:kind of keep it close to your chest yeah yeah yeah i'm playing
Speaker:it close to the chest cool shonen just what about you west shonen
Speaker:with this awkward but shonen going to anti -is and rally what just i
Speaker:got a lead right you you just kind of keep it close to your chest
Speaker:yeah yeah i'm playing it close to the chest playing it close to the
Speaker:chest cool shonen just what about you west just what this awkward
Speaker:but shonen going to anti -is and rally Okay, so there's a rally of
Speaker:people on the island called the Church of the Ignition who are
Speaker:trying to bring about a second ignition, which is the calamity
Speaker:that created this world in the first place.
Speaker:They believe that it will bring about a better world if they are
Speaker:to cleanse the Aizen who are the founders of this world.
Speaker:If it happens, it happens.
Speaker:The ignition sort of sends a
Speaker:shiver through everybody's spine.
Speaker:Everybody's heard tales of it,
Speaker:especially Doug.
Speaker:Cyber -K, what about you?
Speaker:What's your character's motivation?
Speaker:I want to go to this festival and make a request to become a real
Speaker:boy.
Speaker:All right.
Speaker:Well, I mean, it's also to escape servitude, you know, but I figured
Speaker:if I'm no longer a quartzite, it won't be, like, used for farm
Speaker:equipment.
Speaker:Isn't that what they're used for?
Speaker:All kinds of stuff.
Speaker:We can say you were a farm, like a
Speaker:farm worker.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Are the loaves farm workers? Yeah.
Speaker:Pretty much.
Speaker:The Loafs own Willow Root Island.
Speaker:Like, if you go there and call somebody a loaf, they're going to
Speaker:be mad at you.
Speaker:if you go there and call somebody
Speaker:a loaf, Do the Eisen also, like, own Hollywood?
Speaker:No, actually, I will say I have something written for that.
Speaker:Hollywood, the equivalent of Hollywood is in Steel City.
Speaker:They make most of the entertainment that people watch.
Speaker:And canids are often pigeonholed into the best friend role because
Speaker:they're dogs.
Speaker:actually, That's fair.
Speaker:That's perfect.
Speaker:So I'm from the L .A.
Speaker:of this world.
Speaker:Yes, Yes, absolutely.
Speaker:Do they have an air canid movie? Yes, definitely.
Speaker:Do they have Okay, good.
Speaker:Right?
Speaker:But it's kind of old, right? It's from the early, like,
Speaker:Lumidescent era where cameras first started, where they were
Speaker:like... I imagine the canids are better at basketball.
Speaker:Yes, absolutely.
Speaker:They made this to be like, oh,
Speaker:canids can't play basketball.
Speaker:They're stupid idiots.
Speaker:Only this special canid can play basketball, and they didn't even
Speaker:give him speaking parts.
Speaker:White canids can't jump.
Speaker:That's awesome.
Speaker:Okay, so you guys are all on this
Speaker:boat.
Speaker:I guess you didn't know it was a
Speaker:boat until now I revealed that.
Speaker:You were on this slave ship.
Speaker:You did know that.
Speaker:You hear a rumbling coming from
Speaker:the door to the right, and you see stairs leading up to a deck.
Speaker:to your left.
Speaker:I'm gonna go upstairs.
Speaker:I'm gonna go running up these stairs.
Speaker:running up these stairs.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:You come up and find yourself at the bottom of the wheat ocean.
Speaker:You're in what's called the wheat water.
Speaker:There's a substrate of muddy water at the bottom of the ocean and
Speaker:you're on top of this slave ship which is very thin so it can
Speaker:navigate these small corridors in between the wheat.
Speaker:It's about 15 feet across and like 40 feet long.
Speaker:Behind you is...
Speaker:Oh, go ahead.
Speaker:As you walk up the stairs, you see behind you, near the rear of the
Speaker:ship, there's sort of like a structure going up where there's
Speaker:like crew quarters and probably a kitchen and stuff, you assume.
Speaker:But there's a door to that behind you from the hatch where you came
Speaker:up the stairs.
Speaker:It's very dark.
Speaker:You can see light shining from above through the wheat.
Speaker:So it is nighttime? It's not nighttime.
Speaker:it is the wheat obscures the sun yeah it's like dark and muddy and
Speaker:kind of scary down there you hear like skittering like do i know
Speaker:anything specifically about this wheat area with a high survival
Speaker:skill you can flip intelligence and survival or wit and survival
Speaker:i'm gonna flip an intelligence and survival okay instruction card one
Speaker:success okay is the wheat hear like skittering like do i know
Speaker:anything specifically about this wheat area with a high survival
Speaker:skill you can flip intelligence and survival or wit and survival
Speaker:i'm gonna flip an intelligence and survival okay instruction card one
Speaker:success okay in the future those instruction cards keep them out of
Speaker:your deck because they count as a second joker but i'm not going to
Speaker:do it there because it's our first day you didn't know but normally
Speaker:that uh that is a second joker i mean i'm fine to take another
Speaker:joker right there if you'd rather it's one pass one joker i'll let
Speaker:it ride okay you realize that you are in the you know in this like
Speaker:mean i'm fine to take another joker right there if you'd rather
Speaker:realize that you are in the you know in this like substrate of
Speaker:water at the bottom of the wheat ocean and you can kind of hear a
Speaker:loud over the engine you hear a louder sort of windy noise you
Speaker:can't see it but it seems to be coming from the forward end of the
Speaker:ship not the ship itself but in the distance you can hear this
Speaker:like loud whirring noise and you realize that you are probably only
Speaker:miles away from the devil a giant tornado that surrounds willow root
Speaker:island in about a hundred square mile area And you realize you're
Speaker:probably pretty near to that.
Speaker:And that's what protects
Speaker:Willowroot Island from intruders.
Speaker:In fact, the only way to get into
Speaker:Willowroot Island is through Bond's Rest at the surface, which
Speaker:is the home of the Sift, the military arm of the Eisenpeople's
Speaker:culture.
Speaker:Oh, there was a Joker.
Speaker:You fall into the water, and a tentacle comes up and grabs your
Speaker:leg, and you're hanging onto the edge, splashing and freaking out.
Speaker:So the boat's still moving.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:It's not moving super fast.
Speaker:It's kind of just like moving at a
Speaker:very slow pace.
Speaker:Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker:All right.
Speaker:Shonen's going to dart forward and
Speaker:unsling his axe and try to chop the tentacle off.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Flip brawn and melee.
Speaker:Let's see.
Speaker:It's going to be three on brawn
Speaker:and four on melee for seven.
Speaker:Seven.
Speaker:That's going to be three.
Speaker:me three three successes you chop
Speaker:that leg off and it skitters away and manko is okay and you pull him
Speaker:up by his his tiny cute little arms his little feet are going
Speaker:like this you you see that manko is shown in sun off of his leg
Speaker:drops to the ground a tentacle and you think that is the projection
Speaker:of maybe a mud stalker which is an animal that is successes you chop
Speaker:that leg off and it skitters away and manko is okay and you pull him
Speaker:up by his his tiny cute little arms his little feet are going
Speaker:like this you see that manko is is shown in sun of his leg drops to
Speaker:the ground a tentacle and you think that is the projection of
Speaker:maybe a mud stalker which is an animal that is Like kind of an
Speaker:insect animal that's native to the wheat water.
Speaker:You do not want to go in there.
Speaker:The tentacle was from a mud
Speaker:stopper? Mudstalker.
Speaker:Mudstalker.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:They're kind of like big spiders with tentacles that can come out
Speaker:from their mandibles.
Speaker:Donan's seen this on The Witcher.
Speaker:Manco's seen this on Pornhub.
Speaker:Manco, maybe watch at home.
Speaker:Wait, you just, like, Shonen doesn't realize that you're, like,
Speaker:imitating his form of speech? Because, like, not all Saurids
Speaker:talk like that.
Speaker:Just Shonen.
Speaker:I'm being a smartass.
Speaker:I'm being a That's really funny.
Speaker:I like to imagine that my character's more like a Chucky
Speaker:Fenster.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:When he's in Brave mode.
Speaker:I remember that.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Nice.
Speaker:Nice.
Speaker:But there doesn't seem to be any
Speaker:other enemies on the ship.
Speaker:In fact, it seems kind of empty.
Speaker:It's moving slowly enough that it feels like somebody kind of left
Speaker:it on cruise.
Speaker:Do you guys want to explore the
Speaker:ship more? Can I real fast use survival to
Speaker:see if there's any items around? Anything.
Speaker:Yes.
Speaker:You can flip wit and survival.
Speaker:When you run out of cards, do you just reshuffle?
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Three successes?
Speaker:Successes.
Speaker:you run out of Okay, so you don't
Speaker:see any items on the deck, really.
Speaker:It's pretty empty.
Speaker:It seems to be that there's hooks and ropes that you recognize as
Speaker:things that people use to climb the wheat stalks and harvest.
Speaker:So it seems like they're using this ship as slave labor.
Speaker:You see on your hands some burns that maybe you've been collecting
Speaker:wheat from these ropes for a couple days.
Speaker:But you notice that there is a cabin in the back.
Speaker:area that might have more stuff in it.
Speaker:Would there be like wheat detritus on the things or around or even on
Speaker:my body that I could see and find? Yeah, there's like wheat on the
Speaker:deck.
Speaker:It's a pretty common item.
Speaker:It's not something necessarily that you need to like have too
Speaker:much of, but yeah.
Speaker:I just assume I have nothing
Speaker:because I'm in prison, but I want to pick some up.
Speaker:Okay, cool.
Speaker:Yeah, you grab some wheat from the
Speaker:deck.
Speaker:It's kind of nasty because it's
Speaker:from the lower area.
Speaker:That's fine.
Speaker:I'm not going to eat it.
Speaker:The Hidden Kingdom.
Speaker:employs these slave ships because they are not liked or safe in any
Speaker:other place in ice is this wheat edible it is doesn't look edible
Speaker:it is kind of gross you could probably cook it and make it nice
Speaker:but i wouldn't eat it raw well i'm a sordid i don't think i would
Speaker:like this yeah that's that's true don't worry guys i'm not gonna eat
Speaker:it it looks gross you should try it though and let us know just
Speaker:just a nibble no i'll show you something later show you something
Speaker:later Manco.
Speaker:Interesting.
Speaker:Generally speaking, you use the wheat to make, like, food.
Speaker:You don't eat it raw, usually.
Speaker:I don't know this planet.
Speaker:this planet.
Speaker:Special wheat.
Speaker:Okay, so, Doug, you remember you noticed that there's this other
Speaker:area on the ship you could go to, the cabins and stuff, that are
Speaker:sort of rising up in a... multi -story building that's on top of
Speaker:the ship behind you.
Speaker:And you think maybe there might be
Speaker:some items in there.
Speaker:You kind of sense that there might
Speaker:be something.
Speaker:Come on, guys.
Speaker:Let's go this way.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:I follow bravely.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:So you guys go into the back.
Speaker:You come into a kitchen area.
Speaker:There's a fly farm, which is just like a compost bin that has a
Speaker:bunch of, like, maggots in it that are hatching that Trogeites use
Speaker:for food.
Speaker:The Hidden Kingdom specifically
Speaker:uses to, like, have food on long journeys not that trogites only
Speaker:eat flies okay that's a common misconception it's a little bit of
Speaker:a racist thing that maybe leon has we have a term for trogites that
Speaker:is blue wheel troggies maybe i don't know i haven't made one up
Speaker:okay so you're in this kitchen there seems to be some food and
Speaker:there's some stairs up to another floor i'll go up the stairs okay
Speaker:go in the kitchen have a so you're in this kitchen there seems to be
Speaker:some food and there's some stairs up to another floor go up the
Speaker:stairs go in the kitchen Okay, so Cyber -K, you walk upstairs and
Speaker:anybody who wants to follow Cyber -K can go up there.
Speaker:And you find crew quarters that lead down to like a door at the
Speaker:end that seems to be like a captain's quarter.
Speaker:Seems to be like an important room that is a little bit nicer.
Speaker:You can sort of see through the porthole.
Speaker:Doug, as you explore the kitchen, you find some useful stuff.
Speaker:You search around and let's say, flip just straight survival for
Speaker:me.
Speaker:Just Doug.
Speaker:Unless you're looking around the kitchen.
Speaker:No, I think I'm going to go upstairs with...
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:So two successes on Doug.
Speaker:You find some basic supplies.
Speaker:You find a little goldenrod.
Speaker:You find about an ounce of goldenrod, which has health
Speaker:properties.
Speaker:And there's not much else because
Speaker:they rely a lot on that fly food, right?
Speaker:So they aren't keeping an awful lot in the kitchen, and it just
Speaker:doesn't seem to be... super well stocked but because you found two
Speaker:successes let's find you find say you find some like sodas and stuff
Speaker:too you find two sodas that give like plus one health each and some
Speaker:goldenrod so back up on the second floor you guys are in this in this
Speaker:area and you see that captain's quarters like right right in front
Speaker:of you like begging to be opened i want to examine the cruise
Speaker:quarters just scan scan the cruise quarters sure are want to examine
Speaker:the cruise quarters just scan scan the cruise I'm going to say
Speaker:everything's pretty out in the cruise quarters.
Speaker:It doesn't seem like there's anything secret there.
Speaker:There are some small boxes that are supposed to have people's
Speaker:stuff in them, but it's just uniforms.
Speaker:You find some Virek and Karo helmets and their armor.
Speaker:But again, it's weird.
Speaker:It seems like nobody's here, but
Speaker:you are sure that you're in reality now.
Speaker:It's just an empty ship again.
Speaker:Very strange.
Speaker:Empty ship on autopilot through these.
Speaker:There's actually, yeah, there's stairs up.
Speaker:There's stairs in this room as well that lead up, I think, to the
Speaker:cockpit.
Speaker:The cockpit is on the third floor.
Speaker:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker:There's a bridge and then there's
Speaker:like the captain's quarters.
Speaker:But in the room, it doesn't seem
Speaker:like there's anything out of order.
Speaker:the I come up the stairs to join them and go that way.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:What do you guys want to do next?
Speaker:Let's see.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:You, let's say, flip.
Speaker:We're going to put lockpicking in
Speaker:survival now, I think.
Speaker:That makes the most sense to me.
Speaker:So we'll say do an agility and survival or intelligence and
Speaker:survival, whichever you want.
Speaker:Seven flips.
Speaker:Zero successes.
Speaker:You are not able to get in that
Speaker:door.
Speaker:It is not responding to your
Speaker:lockpicking prowess.
Speaker:But you know what?
Speaker:You have that lock in your pocket, and it gives you plus one to any
Speaker:lockpicking actions.
Speaker:So flip another card.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Hey, look, I just stole most of
Speaker:this.
Speaker:stole most of this.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:You learned so much from it, and
Speaker:it just, you know, it just didn't help in this moment.
Speaker:Jonan hits the lock with his axe.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Brawn and melee.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Let's see something cool.
Speaker:That's gonna be...
Speaker:Oh, well, be... that's gonna be one.
Speaker:One success.
Speaker:Weirdly, the door comes open as
Speaker:you hit it.
Speaker:It's not really that hard to...
Speaker:Oh, you don't have an axe, Jonan.
Speaker:Nobody has any items right now.
Speaker:Oh. You just hit it with your claws, and it worked.
Speaker:That's fine.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:You hit that door, and it opens pretty easily.
Speaker:It's surprising, given how hard of a time Cyber -K had picking the
Speaker:lock, and you realize it wasn't locked.
Speaker:Oh, shit.
Speaker:That's why you couldn't unlock it.
Speaker:So it just kind of swings open, and there's a door to this well
Speaker:-appointed room, well -appointed for trogites.
Speaker:It's still covered in, like, moss and grassy stuff.
Speaker:It has kind of a swampy feel.
Speaker:But there's this, like, wooden
Speaker:desk in it, and there's a photo, a fearsome -looking... hidden knight
Speaker:warrior or like a painting really on the wall they have horns coming
Speaker:out the back of their head and their eyes are glowing red spooky
Speaker:i don't like that it's got my spook sensors going you guys want
Speaker:to investigate the room sure yep leon why don't you flip a
Speaker:intelligence and investigation we have three successes three
Speaker:successes you notice that the painting is a little off kilter
Speaker:kind of swings don't like that it's got my spook sensors going
Speaker:guys want to investigate the room sure yep leon why don't you flip a
Speaker:intelligence and investigation three successes successes you
Speaker:notice that the painting is a little off kilter And you see that
Speaker:the space on the wall behind it sort of has a lighter color, and
Speaker:it appears to have been moved recently.
Speaker:I think we're dealing with the hidden door, boys.
Speaker:Can I try to, like, trigger the hidden door mechanism by moving
Speaker:the, straightening the painting or something?
Speaker:Sure.
Speaker:Can you straighten the painting?
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Nothing really happens.
Speaker:It just seems to be hanging there in front of something.
Speaker:Can I pull the painting down? Yeah.
Speaker:Okay, I'll pull the painting down.
Speaker:Okay, there's a safe behind it.
Speaker:Oh. With a combination lock.
Speaker:Hmm.
Speaker:You noticed some drawers on the desk earlier as well that you can
Speaker:look through.
Speaker:noticed some drawers on the desk
Speaker:earlier as well that you can look through.
Speaker:I'll look through the drawers.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Cyber -K, you take a look through the drawers.
Speaker:In there are some, you know, normal Trogite things.
Speaker:You know, like a moss -covered stapler, moss -covered pencils.
Speaker:A lot of moss in Trogite culture.
Speaker:And you find a little slip of
Speaker:paper in the bottom drawer that has the code to the safe.
Speaker:Was not kept in a safe place at all.
Speaker:No.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Those guys aren't really well known for their confidentiality
Speaker:practices.
Speaker:Yeah, the Hidden Knights have a
Speaker:pretty rigid command structure, but they're being sloppy this
Speaker:time.
Speaker:It's very strange.
Speaker:Like, you expect a Karo to be sloppy, right?
Speaker:Those guys are cannon fodder, but you don't expect a Hidden Scion to
Speaker:be this sloppy.
Speaker:Unless he did it on purpose.
Speaker:Well, anyway.
Speaker:There's a trash can nearby.
Speaker:Yeah, there's a trash can in the room.
Speaker:Can I search the trash can? Sure.
Speaker:And Cyber K, do you want to work on the safe while he's doing that?
Speaker:Sure, yes.
Speaker:Okay, you search in the trash can,
Speaker:and let's just have you do a straight, let's say, wit
Speaker:investigation in this one.
Speaker:I don't have any wit.
Speaker:Do you have intelligence? Yeah.
Speaker:Okay, well, you can do intelligence investigation.
Speaker:What do I do if I have zero? I just can't do it.
Speaker:Oh, you can still flip your investigation.
Speaker:If there's, like, not an equivalent flip to do, you can
Speaker:just, like, not add that one in and do the other one.
Speaker:Like, if you're doing something that's, like, outside of your
Speaker:wheelhouse and I can't, like, come up with an alternative for you.
Speaker:It's just, like, one minimum? Yeah, one minimum.
Speaker:For your attributes.
Speaker:It is a joke.
Speaker:Wait, do you not have any investigation?
Speaker:I have zero investigation, zero wit, one intelligence.
Speaker:Oh, wait, you have one wit, two intelligence, so you get to flip
Speaker:another card.
Speaker:Oh. That first dot counts.
Speaker:I forgot the first dot counts.
Speaker:Oh, and I'm sorry, guys, I forgot
Speaker:about this mechanic, but you flip one if you're healthy.
Speaker:so if your health is above above injured then you get an extra flip
Speaker:so you should get a third one we were just in jail though i mean
Speaker:are we healthy you guys feel pretty okay actually yeah your
Speaker:health is at a high level you're all you haven't been injured and
Speaker:you seem to have been getting enough sleep yeah no kidding great
Speaker:sleep therapy yeah your mind has been like shut off with then okay
Speaker:so i got a joker and a fail or a joker and a nothing okay uh you
Speaker:get a joker you fall into the trash can wit, were just in jail
Speaker:though i mean are we healthy guys feel pretty okay actually yeah
Speaker:your health is at a high level you're all you haven't been
Speaker:injured and you seem to have been getting enough sleep no kidding
Speaker:great sleep therapy your mind has been like shut off with your mind
Speaker:been like shut so i got a joker and a fail or a joker and a
Speaker:nothing okay uh you get a joker you fall into the trash can And
Speaker:your little legs are flipping out the back.
Speaker:I'm stuck in there until someone pulls me out.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:out the back.
Speaker:I'm stuck Do I see anything while
Speaker:I'm in there? Pull them up.
Speaker:Just papers.
Speaker:It doesn't appear to be, like,
Speaker:anything important.
Speaker:There seems to be some bad
Speaker:drawings that have been crumpled up in anger by whoever is in
Speaker:charge of this office, who seems to be the person on the painting.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:You pull them out, Shonan?
Speaker:Is that what you're saying? It doesn't appear to Yeah, that's
Speaker:what I was saying.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Shonen, you pop him out of the trash can.
Speaker:You have to shake him just a little bit.
Speaker:The trash can falls off.
Speaker:Just keep getting myself into
Speaker:trouble.
Speaker:I'm sorry.
Speaker:Just turn him around and set him down.
Speaker:Sounds good.
Speaker:I feel manhandled.
Speaker:Cyber K, you have the code, so it opens up easily.
Speaker:And the safe has several capsules in it that each seem to have an
Speaker:item.
Speaker:You open them up as a group.
Speaker:These capsules are kind of like Capsule Corp. They're made by Gold
Speaker:Medal Tech, and they're called recoil shells.
Speaker:And they can contain single items.
Speaker:Or they can contain multiple
Speaker:items, just depending.
Speaker:But each of these has been put
Speaker:into a separate single -use shell.
Speaker:Normally, if you wanted to put
Speaker:multiple things in, you would either have to pay more for a
Speaker:better shell, or you would have to go to a gunsmith and have them
Speaker:load the shell with those items for you.
Speaker:Because you have to do specific spells to make, like... custom
Speaker:stuff especially for really big things but there's individual
Speaker:recoil shells out here for you and they have inside doug you find a
Speaker:pair of nice kicks and they give you plus one two athletics and you
Speaker:also find your bag of herbs which has some basic stuff in there it
Speaker:has a little bit more goldenrod it has a little beefsteak lettuce
Speaker:which increases strength in recipes and you have an ounce of
Speaker:sugar bowl which is actually very it's worth a lot because an ounce
Speaker:of sugar bowl increases the effectiveness of a recipe by plus
Speaker:one, no matter what it is.
Speaker:And goldenrod is for healing.
Speaker:Okay, so Shonan, you find your axe chuck, the axe with a, we said
Speaker:taped, but if you're interested, we could make it a retractable
Speaker:nunchuck at the end of your axe that you can press a button and
Speaker:sort of use whenever you want.
Speaker:Absolutely.
Speaker:Okay, and that's plus one to melee.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Let's see.
Speaker:Cyber -K, we find your digital
Speaker:katana.
Speaker:This katana adds plus one to
Speaker:engineering, and it can be reprogrammed to increase another
Speaker:computer or digital or some kind of, like, melee skill, right?
Speaker:So you can do computers, engineering, or melee.
Speaker:Once a session, you can change that alignment of your digital
Speaker:katana.
Speaker:Okay, and Leon, you have a lapis
Speaker:lazuli inlay pistol.
Speaker:That gives you plus one to
Speaker:firearms.
Speaker:And you find a picture of someone
Speaker:important from your past that you quickly confiscate before anybody
Speaker:sees.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Leon, what was that? Don't worry about it.
Speaker:I saw a lady.
Speaker:Nothing.
Speaker:Don't worry about it.
Speaker:I said, man, I don't recognize
Speaker:gender.
Speaker:A single tear.
Speaker:I said, I said nothing.
Speaker:It's like throwing up a little.
Speaker:Manko, you find the charger for your, you find the charging shell
Speaker:for your parka and you slot it back in and you're warm again.
Speaker:Manko has a condition where he has to keep warm at all times because,
Speaker:you know, he's a sword.
Speaker:No, I don't.
Speaker:I can be cold.
Speaker:he's a sword.
Speaker:No, I don't.
Speaker:I can Oh, I thought you said you
Speaker:had to have like a parka that has like lava technology.
Speaker:I do.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:But I desire the cold.
Speaker:You desire the cold.
Speaker:I can take the cold.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:I see.
Speaker:I see.
Speaker:Well.
Speaker:Wink, wink.
Speaker:This gives you plus one survival.
Speaker:I'm working my way up to being
Speaker:able to take the cold.
Speaker:So far, I'm up to six minutes.
Speaker:He's very sensitive about it, honestly.
Speaker:Okay, and I think that is...
Speaker:Have I gotten... I haven't gotten
Speaker:everybody.
Speaker:Okay, let's see.
Speaker:Bada, you find a Clover GM -29.
Speaker:personal hud that adds plus one to
Speaker:piloting this is also pre -programmable to help you with
Speaker:other skills that require accuracy so you can decide what that means
Speaker:but essentially like you know things like athletics or
Speaker:engineering probably sneaking right anything that requires you
Speaker:to like that you could use to like get data from a situation you can
Speaker:reprogram that once a session but for now it's set to it's set to
Speaker:piloting set to it's set to piloting Gotcha.
Speaker:Now, I put this under useful items?
Speaker:Yes.
Speaker:Okay, cool.
Speaker:Guys, we should just get to the helm.
Speaker:Take control of this thing.
Speaker:Get the hell out of here.
Speaker:You go up to the helm, and you see basically a ship's helm, right?
Speaker:There's a wheel, and there seems to be a door out the back.
Speaker:There's a window that you can see sort of like the deck.
Speaker:There's still nobody out there.
Speaker:I guess let's go through that
Speaker:other door.
Speaker:You guys go through the door, and
Speaker:there's a room with a vehicle.
Speaker:There's a verticar.
Speaker:I had the item written down.
Speaker:but it is a Rally Motors
Speaker:convertible in red.
Speaker:And it seems to be the personal
Speaker:car of whoever is the leader of this ship.
Speaker:And it's set on this part of the deck and there's like an opening,
Speaker:right? There's like an awning and there's
Speaker:an opening to drive the Verticar out.
Speaker:I just think we could all fit in that Verticar.
Speaker:could all fit in that Verticar.
Speaker:How big is the car?
Speaker:It's about as big as one of those tiny cars from Dragon Ball Z where
Speaker:everybody's kind of in it and like... like this so it's just
Speaker:like a little clown car thing yeah what if a couple of us were in it
Speaker:and someone was on top and a couple people were on the sides
Speaker:i've never done that before in real life but i wonder you guys
Speaker:can actually you can absolutely all fit in there it's just okay
Speaker:it's gonna look like a dragon ball z car right that's fine that's
Speaker:right shonen's head's gonna be sticking out the side all right so
Speaker:you guys all pile into the car shonen excellent driver but you
Speaker:see that the keys aren't there if a couple of us were in it and
Speaker:someone was on top and a couple people were on the sides i've
Speaker:never done that before in real life real life but i wonder you
Speaker:guys can actually you can absolutely all fit in there it's
Speaker:just okay it's gonna look like a dragon ball z car right that's
Speaker:fine that's right shonen's head's gonna be sticking out the side all
Speaker:right so you guys all pile into the car shonen excellent driver
Speaker:but you see that the keys aren't there excellent driver Definitely
Speaker:think Bada should drive us.
Speaker:Bada is the pilot, yes.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:Bada should drive I got them
Speaker:piloted skills, brothers.
Speaker:There's no keys.
Speaker:keys.
Speaker:Can I search the glove box?
Speaker:Or is there a glove box? Yeah, there's a glove box.
Speaker:Okay, I'm going to open it and look inside.
Speaker:Do we have engineers that can outwire this thing?
Speaker:engineers that can outwire this thing?
Speaker:Oh yeah, there's also that.
Speaker:But you open up the glove box, you
Speaker:don't find the keys in there.
Speaker:There's just a manual and some
Speaker:spicy peanuts.
Speaker:I immediately reach for the spicy
Speaker:peanuts.
Speaker:I already grabbed them.
Speaker:I grabbed the spicy peanuts.
Speaker:I already grabbed them.
Speaker:I grabbed the spicy peanuts.
Speaker:Are we going to have to flip for
Speaker:the spicy peanuts? we going to to flip Yes.
Speaker:Yes.
Speaker:Both of you flip straight agility.
Speaker:of you flip straight agility.
Speaker:you flip straight agility.
Speaker:I want to flip.
Speaker:want flip.
Speaker:Huh? I want to flip the left of me
Speaker:again and just like pick them.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:I flipped agility.
Speaker:I right, but two.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:I have zero successes.
Speaker:I have none.
Speaker:I guess Bada won.
Speaker:won.
Speaker:Yeah, Drew, Bada is too fast.
Speaker:He's the fastest in the universe, actually.
Speaker:He grabs those spicy peanuts, He grabs spicy peanuts, man.
Speaker:Can I fuck you? Yeah, sure.
Speaker:How old is your character? Like, 27?
Speaker:Okay, then I say, pretty quick, kid.
Speaker:Thanks, they don't call me the fastest in the universe for
Speaker:nothing, brother.
Speaker:Who's they?
Speaker:Everybody.
Speaker:Everybody knows who I am.
Speaker:I'm Bata.
Speaker:I'm the fastest there ever been.
Speaker:Like, have you been in movies? No, you know, I'm working on it,
Speaker:bro.
Speaker:I'm working on it.
Speaker:working I can try to hotwire it.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:You want to use engineering? We'll say a straight engineering
Speaker:flip on that.
Speaker:Two successes.
Speaker:Okay, those two successes are enough.
Speaker:You pop off the, you know, the key.
Speaker:cover on the steering column and put your digital katana in there
Speaker:that one you get an extra success from your digital katana digi
Speaker:katana and you turn it it comes to life and you guys are ready to get
Speaker:out of there who's driving okay i didn't i did not roll well on to
Speaker:call for shotgun so you kind of you kind of say driving i didn't i
Speaker:did not roll well on to call for shotgun so you kind of you kind of
Speaker:say Shotgun.
Speaker:And then, like, Shonen just, like,
Speaker:plops himself in it before you can, like, try to go for it.
Speaker:Shonen reminds me that I didn't say I'm gay.
Speaker:And so I did not do it correctly.
Speaker:Therefore, I lost.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Bada, please flip.
Speaker:Either...
Speaker:Let's say agility and piloting.
Speaker:Because this is a pretty enclosed area.
Speaker:And fly them out of the lower...
Speaker:levels of the weed ocean okay two
Speaker:that is two successes oh good all right two successes is enough to
Speaker:get you above the surface you go you you pretty expertly you know
Speaker:find your way up to the top and you find yourself probably two
Speaker:miles out from the devil and the wind is pretty strong up here and
Speaker:in the distance you see bonds rest to your right as you face the
Speaker:devil it's several miles away two that is two successes good all
Speaker:right two successes is enough to get you above the surface you go
Speaker:you you pretty expertly you know find your way up to the top and
Speaker:you find yourself probably two miles out from the devil and the
Speaker:wind is pretty strong up here and in the distance you see bonds rest
Speaker:to your right as you face the devil it's several miles away
Speaker:miles away Where are we landing, boys?
Speaker:Where are we dropping, boys? I live on this island.
Speaker:Surely I know the best place for us to go.
Speaker:Where would that be, Alan? we dropping, boys?
Speaker:Bond's Rest is the only way in, and you're a little nervous about
Speaker:it because your sister works at Bond's Rest, and she was not happy
Speaker:with you when you left.
Speaker:There are options.
Speaker:I guess we got to do it.
Speaker:and she was It's the only legal
Speaker:way in.
Speaker:You could try to get above the
Speaker:devil, but it's not super advisable.
Speaker:How are your piloting skills? I mean, I'm pretty good, bro.
Speaker:I'm pretty good.
Speaker:As for sneaking in legally?
Speaker:in legally? On a scale of one to four, in
Speaker:legally? On a scale of one to four, what
Speaker:would you consider your...
Speaker:I'd probably put myself at a three
Speaker:currently.
Speaker:I see.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:your...
Speaker:I'd probably put Sorry, I had nothing to add.
Speaker:That's pretty good.
Speaker:to add.
Speaker:That's pretty good.
Speaker:That's pretty good.
Speaker:All right, yeah, what do you guys want to do?
Speaker:I'll let the pilot decide.
Speaker:I'm just along for the ride.
Speaker:let the pilot decide.
Speaker:I'm just Doug?
Speaker:Was that your name? I literally forgot.
Speaker:Is that the island we need to go to?
Speaker:the island we need to go to? Yeah, I think I can think of some
Speaker:illegal ways to get in if you guys don't mind breaking the law.
Speaker:I turn on the radio and the song Breaking the Law is blaring at
Speaker:full blast.
Speaker:I just look directly at Doug and
Speaker:go, I don't give a fuck, brother.
Speaker:Breaking the law, breaking the
Speaker:law.
Speaker:All right.
Speaker:As I started, I don't know this song.
Speaker:I Oh, yeah.
Speaker:Dude, you know her breaking the
Speaker:law? I'm not joking.
Speaker:This is a real song.
Speaker:Of course.
Speaker:In the universe or out? I'm going to say agility and
Speaker:piloting.
Speaker:Agility and piloting.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Out of universe also.
Speaker:OOC.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Well, unfortunately, I have two successes, but a Joker as well.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:So you...
Speaker:Start to rise up towards, you know, the sky and try to, you
Speaker:know, get that car further and further up.
Speaker:That devil goes really, really high.
Speaker:And as you do, you hear two more engines appear behind you.
Speaker:And you realize that you're being followed by...
Speaker:Sorry, it's more than two engines.
Speaker:You find yourself followed by six
Speaker:Karobots on Verticycles.
Speaker:And...
Speaker:It's time to start initiative because you're in a fight in the
Speaker:air.
Speaker:We've got company, boys.
Speaker:All right, so the Karos are riding their vert bikes behind you,
Speaker:trying to keep up with your ascending.
Speaker:And one of them shoots at you and it barely misses.
Speaker:You are fighting four Karobots and two Virek.
Speaker:And let's see here.
Speaker:Initiative.
Speaker:The Virek has the highest, so he'll start.
Speaker:That Virek, like I said, he takes aim, shoots his pistol at you.
Speaker:Okay, he gets one success, and he shoots at the pilot, Bada, and it
Speaker:hits his shoulder.
Speaker:Bada, do you want to use any dodge
Speaker:or anything? Fuck!
Speaker:Can I dodge? I'm driving a car.
Speaker:Is this possible for me to dodge? Yeah, you can do it.
Speaker:You have dodge.
Speaker:You can dodge the whole car, like
Speaker:twist the whole thing in the air.
Speaker:For sure.
Speaker:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker:can dodge the the air.
Speaker:For sure.
Speaker:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker:Oh, yeah, all right, okay.
Speaker:You can do whatever you want.
Speaker:This is my max dodge five.
Speaker:I don't know.
Speaker:I forgot how to dodge.
Speaker:You can do whatever you want.
Speaker:This would do one damage, and you can use a dodge to reduce that
Speaker:damage by however many dodge you have.
Speaker:So if it's one damage, you're just going to get rid of that, and your
Speaker:dodge will go down to four.
Speaker:Oh, okay.
Speaker:I forgot how this reset.
Speaker:This resets per session, yeah.
Speaker:Okay, well, I'll just move it down to four so we dodge.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Okay, so fast.
Speaker:You dodge out of the way.
Speaker:The laser skims off the side of
Speaker:the car.
Speaker:The other V -Rack takes aim and
Speaker:shoots again.
Speaker:Another shot this time.
Speaker:Okay, so he takes aim at Shonan, the biggest one, and he gets four
Speaker:successes.
Speaker:So, Shonan, what do you want to
Speaker:do? Shonan is going to shout a
Speaker:challenge at him, to shout a challenge at him, and then he's
Speaker:going to use...
Speaker:Three of his dodges.
Speaker:dodges.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:So you only take one damage, right?
Speaker:You're able to sort of, like, get your big body out of the way of
Speaker:all the important bits, and it glances off of your shoulder armor
Speaker:and does one point of damage.
Speaker:Just sort of, like, singes you a
Speaker:little bit.
Speaker:Joey moves, moves, like, in his
Speaker:very, like, snake way.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:I love that.
Speaker:Bada, you're up next.
Speaker:Are there people to the sides of us, or are they all behind us?
Speaker:They're all behind you, and the V -Rack seem to be sort of coming up
Speaker:on the sides, and the Karobots are bringing up the rear four of them.
Speaker:Okay, can I, because the Chroma, can you, like, shoot a beam out of
Speaker:your hand? Is that how it works?
Speaker:it works? You can, like, you can use it in
Speaker:any way that you want.
Speaker:If you want it to be a solar
Speaker:flare, like, if there's an anime you can think of that uses, like,
Speaker:a heat or laser -based thing, any Dragon Ball Z move, you can do
Speaker:that with Chroma.
Speaker:okay well then i'm gonna like yeah
Speaker:shoot like a key blast out of my hand okay and a lot of whoever's
Speaker:closest to me on the left side because that is going to be
Speaker:agility in chroma or well you know what we're going to say piloting
Speaker:piloting in chroma this time yeah two skills isn't usual but i don't
Speaker:know it seems appropriate for this situation okay oh that is two
Speaker:successes all right you shoot at the v -rec left side because that
Speaker:is going to be agility in chroma or well you know what we're going
Speaker:to say piloting piloting in chroma this time yeah two skills isn't
Speaker:usual but i don't know it seems appropriate for this situation is
Speaker:two successes right you shoot at the v -rec and get two successes.
Speaker:So that's two damage to the V -Rex.
Speaker:Like, he gets hit with the ki blast full in the face, and his
Speaker:helmet comes off, and you see an angry Trogite warrior face
Speaker:snarling at you and singed.
Speaker:The fuck?
Speaker:Okay, up next, Shonen.
Speaker:Shonan.
Speaker:How far away are these psychos? psychos?
Speaker:It doesn't, they're pretty close.
Speaker:They're within, like, I would say
Speaker:the V -Rex are close enough that you could hit them with your axe.
Speaker:Then, uh, Shonen is definitely gonna take a swing.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:You want to try and extend out
Speaker:your axe chuck and give him a snack?
Speaker:Absolutely.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:He's whirling it around and he just swings it at the closest guy.
Speaker:a snack? Absolutely.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:He's whirling it around and he
Speaker:just swings it at the closest guy.
Speaker:Nice.
Speaker:Okay, give me a straight brawn melee flip.
Speaker:Brawn melee.
Speaker:All right, it's going to be plus
Speaker:the axe.
Speaker:Yep.
Speaker:Plus one and plus one because you're healthy.
Speaker:plus one because you're healthy.
Speaker:Plus one because you're healthy.
Speaker:one because you're healthy.
Speaker:because you're healthy.
Speaker:And plus one because I'm healthy.
Speaker:So that's going to be four.
Speaker:Nine total.
Speaker:Yep.
Speaker:And that's going to be...
Speaker:Oh, my gosh.
Speaker:That's going to be one face card and a joker.
Speaker:Okay, so you successfully hit him, but in hitting him, you sort of,
Speaker:like, the axe sort of slips, and it gets stuck in his motorcycle,
Speaker:right? It gets, like, it, like, slips out
Speaker:of your hand and, like, gets, like, wedged into the seat.
Speaker:You do one damage to the virek.
Speaker:He's smacked pretty good in the
Speaker:face.
Speaker:It's not too bad.
Speaker:I can get it back.
Speaker:too bad.
Speaker:I can get it back.
Speaker:I can get it back.
Speaker:Let's decide.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Cyber K, you're up next.
Speaker:I'll reach out to whichever one
Speaker:that is closest to me.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Try to swing it like the fuel lines to the water bike or
Speaker:something.
Speaker:Can I do that?
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Yes.
Speaker:Do a wit melee or intelligence melee, whichever of your stats is
Speaker:higher.
Speaker:Three successes.
Speaker:Three successes.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:So you cut the fuel lines of his ship with expert.
Speaker:Accuracy.
Speaker:His ship blows up, and it does
Speaker:twice the damage of your successes.
Speaker:That's six damage.
Speaker:It singes him, but he's somehow
Speaker:still able to keep the ship a little bit in the air, and he's
Speaker:like sputtering along.
Speaker:He's not doing well now.
Speaker:Okay, next up, Doug.
Speaker:I gotta do a Chroma Blast.
Speaker:All right, let's flip either Brawn Chroma or Agility Chroma.
Speaker:I was playing a lot of Persona 5 when I made these tracks.
Speaker:I have three successes and a Joker.
Speaker:Three successes and a Joker.
Speaker:Okay, so you try to send out a
Speaker:Chromoblast.
Speaker:Do you just send it at one of the
Speaker:V -Rex or the approaching Carol bots?
Speaker:I want to aim at the vert bike.
Speaker:Okay, they're all on vert bikes.
Speaker:It doesn't matter.
Speaker:Oh, you want to aim at the
Speaker:sputtering one, the one who's almost dead?
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Okay, cool.
Speaker:so you shoot a chroma blast at that guy and it it does great it
Speaker:knocks him off and he does a wilhelm scream out into the
Speaker:distance but the ship comes back and crashes into your car and now
Speaker:you guys are starting to wobble right you're not stable in the air
Speaker:anymore okay now the caros all attack in unison in the back caros
Speaker:are usually robots So they're programmed to sort of, like,
Speaker:attack in a group.
Speaker:The Karos are able to get a couple
Speaker:of shots off.
Speaker:They shoot one at Bada, one at
Speaker:Shonan, and one at Cyber -K.
Speaker:And you guys can respond to that.
Speaker:How many, if you want to, like, dodge or whatever?
Speaker:Dodge.
Speaker:Yeah, I'll dodge as well.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:I already used every dodge I have,
Speaker:so.
Speaker:Okay, the shot careens off of your
Speaker:upper shoulder, and it does a little damage.
Speaker:You take one point of damage.
Speaker:Cyber K, you dodge?
Speaker:Yep.
Speaker:Okay, so you guys are able to sort
Speaker:of, like, get out of the way.
Speaker:Bada, you're able to sort of
Speaker:shimmy the car just enough out of the way, although it's getting
Speaker:hard to control.
Speaker:And Cyber K, you deflect it with
Speaker:your digi -katana.
Speaker:So do I take damage?
Speaker:He only shot...
Speaker:They only got three successes.
Speaker:Nobody shot at you, Manko.
Speaker:Okay, I missed that.
Speaker:Your head is actually, like, down below where they can't really see
Speaker:you because you're below the convertible part.
Speaker:Yeah, I'm actually confused what's happening outside.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:So all of them attacked, and we go
Speaker:back to the one remaining Virek who's flying up.
Speaker:He's angry.
Speaker:You just saw your friend.
Speaker:You kill his friend.
Speaker:And he flies up and... attacks
Speaker:with his his chroma sword so chroma swords are swords that are
Speaker:kind of like those you know those toys that send to like a string
Speaker:out and it goes like this and it kind of stays in the air right
Speaker:imagine like a string spinning and extending into a sword and then as
Speaker:it takes shape it it gains form in the middle and this this little
Speaker:beam of like chromatic kaleidoscopic light starts shining
Speaker:out of the middle so it's like a laser sword that's kept in place
Speaker:by this spinning piece of chain.
Speaker:Like a very fine silver chain.
Speaker:So he takes out his sword and he swings at Shonen.
Speaker:And he gets two successes.
Speaker:So you take two damage, Shonen.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Okay, Ada, you're up next.
Speaker:Who's still alive? You have one Virek and all of the
Speaker:Karos are still in the back, like fully, you know, not even harmed.
Speaker:Just double checking.
Speaker:Just double checking.
Speaker:Sorry, Jason and I haven't taken a turn yet.
Speaker:Oh, shit.
Speaker:I'm so sorry, guys.
Speaker:Okay, yeah.
Speaker:Don't worry.
Speaker:Let's go.
Speaker:Let's erase that move.
Speaker:We'll go back to Manko.
Speaker:Manko, it's your turn.
Speaker:I'm frustrated because I was ready to fight.
Speaker:You're up, man.
Speaker:You were acting before me.
Speaker:But I will up the bravery to go for Shonan.
Speaker:The vertibike that has Shonan's axe sticking out of it.
Speaker:Is that still doing it? Yeah, it's still in there.
Speaker:The vertibike that went down is the other one.
Speaker:Can I leap to that vertibike? that still doing it?
Speaker:I leap to that vertibike? Yes, that'll be a brawn athletics
Speaker:or agility and athletics.
Speaker:Let's brawn athletics this.
Speaker:Do it.
Speaker:You can't make it.
Speaker:Don't do it.
Speaker:I can make it.
Speaker:Don't do it.
Speaker:do it.
Speaker:I can break these cuffs.
Speaker:Unbreak these cuffs.
Speaker:What are aces? They're successes.
Speaker:So I have two successes.
Speaker:are aces?
Speaker:They're Okay, you are able to jump onto the Virex ship and you grab
Speaker:Shonan's weapon.
Speaker:Yes.
Speaker:Is there somebody on that with me now?
Speaker:Yeah, the dude is still driving his bike.
Speaker:Okay, so my jump was the action then, so I'm just over there now.
Speaker:I'm going to say if you want to try and do like a little scratchy
Speaker:attack, you know, you want to do like a straight melee, then I will
Speaker:allow it as kind of like a bonus.
Speaker:I want to headbutt him, assuming
Speaker:I'm behind him.
Speaker:Okay, yeah, yeah, you butt him in
Speaker:the back of the head, do a brawn melee.
Speaker:Brawn melee.
Speaker:Sorry, guys, I'm still getting
Speaker:used to this initiative tracker, and it kind of is.
Speaker:One success.
Speaker:One success.
Speaker:now? kind of like a bonus.
Speaker:I want of is.
Speaker:success.
Speaker:Okay, you headbutt him, and he takes one damage, and he's a
Speaker:little dazed, right? Kind of whoosh, right?
Speaker:That's great for an audio podcast.
Speaker:The bike kind of loses its
Speaker:stability as he kind of recovers from the headbutt.
Speaker:Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Speaker:What?
Speaker:I'm on the bike.
Speaker:on the bike.
Speaker:Don't die.
Speaker:Leon, you're up next.
Speaker:Sweet.
Speaker:I'll take my pistol and fire at
Speaker:the closest.
Speaker:Is the vert bike that not Jason,
Speaker:but Jason is on, is that the closest?
Speaker:Manco.
Speaker:Yeah, the one Manco is on is the
Speaker:closest, but the Karobots are pretty close behind as well.
Speaker:They're just in the direct rear, where the V -Rack is right next to
Speaker:your car on the passenger side.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:one I'll try to fire at the one that Jason just headbutted.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Go ahead and flip agility
Speaker:firearms.
Speaker:And one more because I'm healthy,
Speaker:yes.
Speaker:Yes, and one because you're
Speaker:healthy.
Speaker:Uh -oh.
Speaker:Uh -oh.
Speaker:Which I keep forgetting.
Speaker:Uh -oh.
Speaker:Oh, no. I also forgot.
Speaker:Uh -oh.
Speaker:Oh, no. I also forgot.
Speaker:I have one success and one joker.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:You get one success, and that shoots straight through the V -Rex
Speaker:head and kills him instantly.
Speaker:You see, like, the green blood
Speaker:spurred out of the side of his helmet, and some of it gets on
Speaker:Manco.
Speaker:But unfortunately, that motorcycle
Speaker:starts falling rapidly as a result of the Joker.
Speaker:Okay, we're back around to Bata now.
Speaker:But the one I'm on is following rapidly?
Speaker:Yes.
Speaker:It's following right now.
Speaker:But the one I'm on Can I fear left to try and...
Speaker:Fear left and down to try and get close enough so...
Speaker:Maybe you're going to catch him or whatever?
Speaker:Maybe you're going to catch him or whatever?
Speaker:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Yeah, yeah, you can do that.
Speaker:Agility piloting.
Speaker:Piloting.
Speaker:I keep forgetting I need to add an
Speaker:extra card for being a healthy little boy.
Speaker:Healthy little boy.
Speaker:I'm such a healthy little boy.
Speaker:such a healthy little boy.
Speaker:Two successes.
Speaker:Okay, so you're able to sort of veer it down and match speeds.
Speaker:You catch the fact that he is falling right away, and you get
Speaker:just underneath it to where the edge of your car bumps the
Speaker:motorcycle, and Manko pops right off of that dead body and into the
Speaker:back seat.
Speaker:It's really cute, too.
Speaker:Hell yeah, brother.
Speaker:He's just like, like that.
Speaker:brother.
Speaker:He's just Do we have to wait for
Speaker:our initiative, or can we jump in with the action?
Speaker:There are three more Karos.
Speaker:If you want to, like, do a group
Speaker:action, you guys can combine your actions together.
Speaker:You can, like, do, like, a multi -attack.
Speaker:I was just aware that there's an axe in that bike that's falling,
Speaker:and Shonen probably wants it.
Speaker:Oh, Manko had a hold of that.
Speaker:He had a good grip on it.
Speaker:Yeah, so Shonen's axe is back in
Speaker:the car.
Speaker:Yay!
Speaker:Okay, so there's three Keros following behind you.
Speaker:The next on the initiative list is Shonen.
Speaker:But again, if you guys want to do a combo attack, you can.
Speaker:Anybody but Bada since he used his this round already.
Speaker:I Is it going to take an action for me to pick up Susan?
Speaker:Susan? Is that the name of your axe?
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:No, no, you just pick it up.
Speaker:Okay, Shonen's going to pick up Susan.
Speaker:Okay, Susan the axe check.
Speaker:What next?
Speaker:How many are still alive? Three.
Speaker:Sorry, four.
Speaker:Four are following behind you,
Speaker:Karobots.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:How far behind us are they? Like 10 feet.
Speaker:They're coming up pretty close.
Speaker:Is Manco on the car with us?
Speaker:Manco on the car with us? Yes, he's back.
Speaker:Yes, I've jumped back.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:The V -Rex are both dead, so the threat is pretty much gone.
Speaker:And if you want to, you can try to do a multi -attack.
Speaker:Like, it's, you know... I was going to throw Manco at them.
Speaker:if you want to, you was going to throw Manco at them.
Speaker:All right.
Speaker:I accept.
Speaker:All right.
Speaker:Yes.
Speaker:Nice.
Speaker:All right, that's all special.
Speaker:right, that's all special.
Speaker:Okay, fastball special.
Speaker:Dual tech.
Speaker:Let's do this.
Speaker:Okay, so Shonan, flip brawn and athletics.
Speaker:And Manco, flip agility and melee.
Speaker:And you're going to combine your
Speaker:successes together.
Speaker:Oh, I'm sorry.
Speaker:Manco, you had a pickaxe in the ship as well.
Speaker:That was the other item we were missing.
Speaker:You have a pickaxe that's plus one to melee.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:I get to flip one.
Speaker:And don't forget to flip one because you're healthy.
Speaker:Yep.
Speaker:I just flipped my five.
Speaker:forget to flip five.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:That's two successes.
Speaker:Two successes.
Speaker:That's going to be two successes for me also.
Speaker:That's going to successes for me also.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:I'm going to say those four
Speaker:successes are enough to get either a single damage on each Karo or
Speaker:you can absolutely destroy two of them.
Speaker:I'm going to leave that up to Manco.
Speaker:going to leave that up to I'm going to destroy two.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:You fly at the Karos and you take
Speaker:your pickaxe and... swing it into the head of one so hard that it
Speaker:crumples up onto the next one next to him the pickaxe going straight
Speaker:through both of their heads and oil sprouting spouting out the
Speaker:sides of the helmet both of them die and start falling again
Speaker:rapidly and you're attached to them that's not a joker it's just
Speaker:what you guys did so you are now on you can you can try to let's
Speaker:say Try to grab onto one of their bikes with a agility athletics
Speaker:flip.
Speaker:I can use this as a reaction?
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Rolling.
Speaker:Rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling.
Speaker:What? Agility athletics.
Speaker:Hello? Okay, there we go.
Speaker:One success.
Speaker:One success.
Speaker:Okay, you're able to grab onto one of the motorcycles and start
Speaker:flying alongside the other two caros.
Speaker:That's a gamer moment right there.
Speaker:That's a super gamer moment, dude.
Speaker:I haven't seen a fastball that good since Max Krennic of the 69
Speaker:Steel City Metros.
Speaker:haven't seen a fastball that good
Speaker:since Max Krennic of the 69 Steel City Metros.
Speaker:God damn it! Fuck off.
Speaker:By the way, baseball is real in this world, and I was just going
Speaker:to spring that on you guys later as a bit, but you just added it to
Speaker:the world anyway.
Speaker:The Steel City Metros.
Speaker:The Steel City Metros.
Speaker:Everybody knows the Steel City
Speaker:Metros.
Speaker:Steel City Everybody knows 69
Speaker:metros were the best team.
Speaker:I don't know what year it is, so
Speaker:I'm just, you know, tell me if I'm wrong.
Speaker:Now, so I'm just, you know, tell me if I'm wrong.
Speaker:Now, the Southern Steel City tankies, nobody likes them.
Speaker:Oh, those mouthies.
Speaker:Get out of here.
Speaker:Tankies, Christ.
Speaker:out of here.
Speaker:Because they're all really buff.
Speaker:That's why they call them the
Speaker:tankies.
Speaker:Makes sense.
Speaker:That makes sense.
Speaker:They only hire buff people who cut
Speaker:their hair short and don't grow beards.
Speaker:They only hire buff people who cut their hair short and don't grow
Speaker:beards.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:They don't have any numbers on the back of their jerseys.
Speaker:They really fucking suck.
Speaker:No pretensions.
Speaker:Oh, my God.
Speaker:Not numbers.
Speaker:I meant names.
Speaker:Sorry.
Speaker:I got you.
Speaker:They don't have any numbers or
Speaker:names.
Speaker:They have nothing.
Speaker:They're all clones of each other.
Speaker:They're all Okay.
Speaker:Shonen and Manko, you guys did a group action.
Speaker:Cyber K, you're up next.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:There's two more caros left.
Speaker:They're right behind us.
Speaker:right behind us.
Speaker:Yep.
Speaker:They're right behind us, aren't they?
Speaker:Yeah, you can do that.
Speaker:can do that.
Speaker:Sure, let's do that.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:You pop open the trunk.
Speaker:I'm going to say, let's just do,
Speaker:let's do a straight, because it's easy.
Speaker:I'm going to say, unless you like Joker, it's not going to be a
Speaker:problem, but go ahead and flip like a straight intelligence or
Speaker:wit, whichever one's higher.
Speaker:No success.
Speaker:Okay, so you flip it open, and it pops open, and really just a lot
Speaker:of papers sort of fly out and kind of like bap them on the face, and
Speaker:they're like reorienting, reorienting.
Speaker:You hear their telemetry sort of activate, and now they're focused
Speaker:on you.
Speaker:Damn!
Speaker:All right, and next up, we've got, we're going to skip Monko because
Speaker:you did a group action.
Speaker:Leon, you're up next.
Speaker:action.
Speaker:Oh, hell yeah.
Speaker:Okay, so remind me, how many Karobots are left?
Speaker:There's two.
Speaker:Okay, and both of the other guys
Speaker:are gone? Mm -hmm.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Are either of them injured?
Speaker:Both of them are at about half health, so they are...
Speaker:Well, injured status doesn't apply to NPCs in that way.
Speaker:Okay, sorry.
Speaker:They're either dead or
Speaker:unconscious, but both of them are still awake.
Speaker:sorry.
Speaker:Okay, I just meant did either of
Speaker:them take damage yet, I guess.
Speaker:Neither of them has taken damage
Speaker:yet.
Speaker:Just the first two.
Speaker:And Manko is on his own thing.
Speaker:Yes, he's on the third remaining
Speaker:bike.
Speaker:is he's on the third remaining
Speaker:bike.
Speaker:So there's like three bikes left.
Speaker:Manko's on one.
Speaker:And there's two Karos.
Speaker:Gotcha.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Then I will just fire a gun at one
Speaker:of the remaining Karos.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:And you're going to flip.
Speaker:Again, agility and firearms or wit
Speaker:and firearms, whichever is higher.
Speaker:I got two successes.
Speaker:Okay, you shoot at the Karo.
Speaker:Take aim with your blue stone
Speaker:inlay pistol.
Speaker:Bring back the hammer.
Speaker:And that Karo's dead.
Speaker:He flies back in an explosion and
Speaker:his entire motorcycle blows up behind him.
Speaker:There's only one left.
Speaker:Bada, you're up next.
Speaker:Oh, I'm sorry, the Karo actually attacks this time.
Speaker:There's one left.
Speaker:The Karos are such little, you
Speaker:know, they call them croaks.
Speaker:That's kind of a racist term for
Speaker:them.
Speaker:We want to keep going with slurs.
Speaker:Fucking croaks.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Okay, the remaining Karo sets his sights on Cyber K. We're hitting
Speaker:him with our geometry homework.
Speaker:And he hits with one success.
Speaker:He takes aim with his blaster and gets one success.
Speaker:Do you have any dodge? Yeah, I'll dodge.
Speaker:Okay, and again, it sort of just flies past your head.
Speaker:You don't even really have to do that much.
Speaker:Karos are a little bit stupid as far as robots go.
Speaker:They're not quartzites.
Speaker:That's important to remember.
Speaker:They do not have souls.
Speaker:They are mindless robots, and it's
Speaker:okay to kill them.
Speaker:The V -Rack, however, had a
Speaker:family.
Speaker:Not anymore.
Speaker:Nope.
Speaker:Okay, so, Bada, you're up next.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:I guess I'll just try to do
Speaker:another beam out of my hand just to try to finish off.
Speaker:finish off.
Speaker:Sounds good.
Speaker:Okay, flip.
Speaker:Agility, sorry, piloting Chroma,
Speaker:because you're still flying.
Speaker:Don't forget that your scouter
Speaker:gives you plus one to piloting.
Speaker:Yes.
Speaker:Your personal HUD, I'm sorry, scouters are from Dragon Ball Z.
Speaker:This isn't anything like Dragon Ball Z. Not at all, brother.
Speaker:Not even a little.
Speaker:Well, it is, unfortunately, two
Speaker:successes on a Joker as well.
Speaker:Oh, no. Okay, you shoot a Kai
Speaker:blast out and...
Speaker:You hit the Karo dead on, and it
Speaker:knocks him off, but his motorcycle veers over and hits Manko again
Speaker:and sends him careening back down.
Speaker:And you're getting pretty near to
Speaker:the devil at this point.
Speaker:Like, he could get sucked in if
Speaker:you aren't careful.
Speaker:So combat is over.
Speaker:you're You guys win.
Speaker:You beat all of the people
Speaker:following you, but now you've got to figure out how to save Manko.
Speaker:He is falling down very quick.
Speaker:Okay, we're out of combat?
Speaker:Yeah, you're out of combat now.
Speaker:Okay, well, I'm going to
Speaker:immediately aim the car, you know, slow the car down so that I try to
Speaker:go underneath him, fly underneath him, so that I catch him before he
Speaker:falls into the fucking pit below.
Speaker:Okay, agility piloting again.
Speaker:Okay, second, I got to reshuffle here.
Speaker:E -piloting.
Speaker:Okay, now that is fucking four
Speaker:successes.
Speaker:He lands so softly in the seat,
Speaker:it's as if he's being cushioned by God.
Speaker:Like God's hand slowly fell with him and really softened the fall.
Speaker:You just like immediately are able to pick him up and it's not a
Speaker:problem.
Speaker:So you're back in the car,
Speaker:everything's stable again.
Speaker:And the hidden kingdom seems to
Speaker:have been dealt with at this point.
Speaker:Whoever was following you, they seem to have been away from the
Speaker:ship.
Speaker:I think when they saw you flying
Speaker:away, but it doesn't appear that anybody else is following you at
Speaker:this point.
Speaker:What do you do?
Speaker:I guess I'll just keep going towards the island and go...
Speaker:Try to go above the devil? keep to go above the devil?
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Okay, flip another agility
Speaker:piloting.
Speaker:Okay, and that is one success.
Speaker:Yes, one.
Speaker:That is not quite enough.
Speaker:The car just doesn't seem to be...
Speaker:I use my local knowledge to...
Speaker:seem to be... I use my local knowledge to... help him navigate
Speaker:this and get over get past it okay yeah sure i would say streetwise
Speaker:let's say wit and streetwise i do survival instead i don't have yes
Speaker:you can do survival instead okay one success also okay with those
Speaker:two successes you are able to get pretty high and you're starting to
Speaker:get to the crest of the devil which is just extremely high it's
Speaker:higher than the the the giant willow that you can see from a
Speaker:distance yeah sure i would say streetwise let's say wit and
Speaker:streetwise i do survival instead i don't have yes you can do survival
Speaker:instead okay one success also have yes you with those two successes
Speaker:you are able to get pretty high and you're starting to get to the
Speaker:crest of the devil which is just extremely high it's higher than
Speaker:the the the giant willow that you can see from a distance It looks
Speaker:like a dragon's claw rising up out of the water with a willow tree
Speaker:wrapping its roots around it and clinging to it and rising up from
Speaker:it.
Speaker:It's like the dragon's claw is
Speaker:holding the tree.
Speaker:You can see that in the distance
Speaker:as you reach the top of the devil, but the car is starting to lose
Speaker:some stability and you feel a huge rumble and a loud ripping noise as
Speaker:the vertipads on the side of the car that allow you to fly, start
Speaker:to rip off.
Speaker:And you lose the back two that
Speaker:keep your rear end stable.
Speaker:And the devil catches you and
Speaker:starts spinning you.
Speaker:Everybody flip brawn and
Speaker:athletics.
Speaker:One success.
Speaker:One success? Leon.
Speaker:One success.
Speaker:One Okay.
Speaker:Three success and a joker.
Speaker:Success and a joker.
Speaker:Two successes.
Speaker:Three successes and a joker.
Speaker:and a joker.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:The car begins to spin out of control, and all of you are
Speaker:somehow able to dig in and hold on to the car.
Speaker:But the double joker lands you at the Sift Authority in Switchhook
Speaker:Bay, and you fly straight into the side of the Sift Authority and
Speaker:crash into the wall.
Speaker:Not Bond's rest out of the edge.
Speaker:You are on the island now.
Speaker:The Sift Authority, if you look at
Speaker:the map, Don't look at any of the adventure hooks I have written on
Speaker:here.
Speaker:Here's Switchhook Bay.
Speaker:Here's Isenglass Beach, which is the big city.
Speaker:The Sift Authority is a small island separate from the rest of
Speaker:the island.
Speaker:So you slam into that, and that's
Speaker:sort of like customs, right? That's where everybody goes in to
Speaker:sort of like check in.
Speaker:So the thing you didn't want to do
Speaker:is happening.
Speaker:You have arrived at the Sift to be
Speaker:processed into the island officially.
Speaker:We are screwed, guys.
Speaker:We're in trouble now.
Speaker:Plead the sift? Is that what you said?
Speaker:I plead the sift.
Speaker:plead the sift.
Speaker:Yes, plead the sift.
Speaker:And I'm going to say, as you see
Speaker:an angry, angry sift officer walking out, he has long, flowing
Speaker:hair and a headband on that has a luma gem here and a luma gem on
Speaker:his chest, he's pissed.
Speaker:And as you see him walking out...

Speaker:Trogites live a really long time,
Speaker:right? So Trogites can live hundreds of
Speaker:years.
Speaker:Humans can even live up to about
Speaker:200 years in this world because there's no food scarcity.

Speaker:There's no shelter scarcity.
Speaker:People fight over power and influence now.
Speaker:you know, sort of where it is.
Speaker:So, so healthcare is free, right?
Speaker:Breadmancers go out into communities and, and operate there
Speaker:on goodwill.
Speaker:And so bread man, like, like town
Speaker:breadmancers are wizards that go around helping people out of the
Speaker:kindness of their heart.
Speaker:But some of them, you know, most
Speaker:of them do.
Speaker:There are some selfish ones,
Speaker:obviously, but that is the culture.
Speaker:So, so is the culture.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Bernie Saurian won breadmancy for all.
Speaker:Yes.
Speaker:Like years ago.
Speaker:So.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:Exactly.
