spk_0 Hi again critters it's Sam Regal and you're listening to part two of this

spk_0 episode from the Critical Role Podcast Network. If you haven't checked out part

spk_0 one yet pause this now and head over there first otherwise enjoy part two.

spk_0 And welcome back so before we jump into the immediate hands we left on on a

spk_0 couple things right now we are or the main thing is this is maybe you have asked

spk_0 a lot of questions about it we're actually gonna put it for auction this slate

spk_0 kind of gem screen front here along with the fear pugs that I'm using for

spk_0 this event as part of this cherry as well so I should be up now check it out

spk_0 and help us one lucky winner get that as a keepsake and memory part of this

spk_0 and you get some great pugs that I will lick each and every one of them for you.

spk_0 Do they take the pugs immediately so you lose all your fear tokens? No it's

spk_0 after the game. Yeah we can lick all the pugs and also sit on them. Yeah yeah

spk_0 I'm sure. Yeah. All right. I heard lick all the pugs since mid 90s.

spk_0 But with that the faces now cracked open in the tendril weird extra-restriall

spk_0 faces of these executive details now exposed they rush in with impossible speed

spk_0 I'm gonna immediately use this fear to get them both coming as part of their

spk_0 hive mind when one is spotlighted they both are spotlighted in the same

spk_0 time so both them rush in the first one it's gonna go ahead and use its

spk_0 acidic tentacles. Oh. Oh. It's nice. It's when it comes towards you.

spk_0 That's gonna be a 21 to hit you I think that hits. Yeah that hits.

spk_0 Oh. You take 13 points of energy. All right I'm gonna use a I'm gonna use an

spk_0 armor. All right. It also takes that down to a what how many? Take it down at

spk_0 13 point. 13 so I'm gonna take that down to a minor. All right and you also the

spk_0 tendrils as the tentacles wrap around you it burns your scanning yourself. You

spk_0 also mark an additional armor slot without getting its benefits so it burns

spk_0 through your armor quicker. So you only get the benefit of one but you burn two

spk_0 slots. Oh that sucks. The other one I'm gonna spend a fear and it's gonna

spk_0 rush in the middle of the chamber amongst all of you and it's going to hold

spk_0 its hands forward. The tentacles are gonna shake for a second and you all feel

spk_0 in the center of your mind like a piercing headache from nowhere.

spk_0 This psychic scream blasts out at all of you. I need you all to make

spk_0 instinct reaction rolls for me please. So just roll it make an instinct roll you

spk_0 don't gain hope or I don't gain any fear just tell me what you. Oh what it's

spk_0 that top of the other. Reveal the other one. There we go. Oh my god that was a

spk_0 critical. Yeah. Okay. 13 with hope. 13 you are fine you managed to lock it out of

spk_0 your mind. Nine with fear. I'm a fear. It courses in your brain you lose a

spk_0 hope and mark of stress. Oh my god I'm getting so stressed out guys. 12. 12

spk_0 not good. You also lose a hope and mark of stress as it rings into your mind in a

spk_0 painful way. 22. 22 you shrug it off. You've seen it. Okay guys. Okay. KC

spk_0 which 13. 13. You also kind of you wins but you pull away. I have 22. 22. You

spk_0 like it to be because in my head I'm just singing the Miyamik theme song. So

spk_0 it's like I don't even hear it. I'm just like me. Yeah me. Yeah me. Yeah me. Yeah me.

spk_0 Perfect. Yes. It is it is it is it is a barrier unstoppable. Great. So after the

spk_0 screen recedes they both kind of square up against the rest of you their fist

spk_0 airs the bases are around it. It is now spotlight to you who would like to

spk_0 wait you guys I have that caustic glue. Oh yes yes and it burns. Oh so I bet if

spk_0 we I bet if we like glue the tentacles to something. Glue it to itself to

spk_0 square in the face. I think you should also tag team for the first time I think we

spk_0 should probably tag team a fight. Don't you? Yes. Yeah. Okay. The three hope to

spk_0 spend. Yeah the person initiates it the only one that has to spend the three

spk_0 hope. Okay. So only one of you needs to. Well if you do want to initiate you want me

spk_0 to initiate you you call it you started. Oh sure all initiates so what do I do

spk_0 race three. Well if you want if you don't want to use your hope then you don't

spk_0 have to do that. I'm just saying if we want to at some point in the future it seems

spk_0 like maybe we should work together. Maybe we should maybe we should work together.

spk_0 Okay. This one so yeah yes. So I'm gonna spend three hope. You got it. Okay. I have

spk_0 this thing it says spotlight hog. Any tag team rule you are a part of can be

spk_0 initiated for only two hope. Whenever you help an ally you add a 1d8 to the

spk_0 result as opposed to a 1d6. 1d6 however you always attempt to take the credit

spk_0 causing the involved ally to take a stress. That's great. Yeah. So the two of you

spk_0 can do a tag team right now for only two hope cost on you. Okay perfect. I'm gonna

spk_0 use in your glue and where you do it to to impede or harm these alien executive

spk_0 detail. I well okay I am going to use my scalpel it is a prop scalpel however

spk_0 these tentacles have their slimy their slippery I don't think they're that

spk_0 strong and how about I could try to chop some of them chop them yeah

spk_0 we can them that's great yeah all right. Yeah great. Cutting right. Yeah that's

spk_0 perfect. So now both of you make your respective roles so you roll your finesse

spk_0 fear attack with your scalpel and then you go ahead and roll for the glue usage

spk_0 would that be finesse it would say on the card I believe oh oh skill

spk_0 skill craft rule correct so if you look at your your foundation card there which

spk_0 would this it's one of your other cards oh this one skill craft rate okay

spk_0 that presents so yeah so you roll your presents both okay

spk_0 seven eight nine plus two eleven with hope so eleven with hope versus I've got

spk_0 15 over here with hope but what did you say the what type of role it was for

spk_0 you be finesse so 17 with hope so you both get to take the higher the two so you

spk_0 both take 17 with hope you both gain a hope yes and that is a success for both of

spk_0 you so go ahead so roll your damage and bind yes oh against the target you you

spk_0 have two of these details so do you want the one on the right or the one on the left

spk_0 left left let's go roll your damage

spk_0 um what is that eight plus three I will say what I eight side minus eight okay which is the eight wait no

spk_0 the eight sided dice not two four six that's all good which was the eight this is the eight

spk_0 right I guess that would be well it doesn't matter for the okay okay she'll just oh yeah yeah

spk_0 that's that way a great roll 12 12 plus what I got one more than one great so 15 great 15 six

spk_0 six that's going to be 21 points of damage cross as it's severe thresholds that's three

spk_0 hit points in that combined attack on the one heavy hit yes the left the glue scatters

spk_0 around it and you watch as the glue kind of adheres to its body and sticks it to the ground and

spk_0 it's like burning it's the material of its suit begins to burn away you can see that same like dark

spk_0 green alien texture beneath it's it looks like it has like fleshy gloves and a mask that

spk_0 tore open and the rest of beneath the suit is just so weird kindness alien body the as the

spk_0 glue's burning and holding it in place you come up with your scalpel just stabbing hard away

spk_0 splinter away causing a spray of kind of a dark liquid across the ground as it kind of pulls back

spk_0 into itself but it looks pretty hurt pretty hurt in one opening go on that one I'm gonna spend

spk_0 the fear to go ahead and take the spotlight from you at this point now because once again they're

spk_0 a hive mind they can both be spotlighted together I'm going the other one is going to the one that

spk_0 you just struck was the one that did not scream earlier I'm gonna go ahead and spend a fear to have

spk_0 that one give its own psychic scream the other one that's been in your ghost and you feel that

spk_0 same shriek in your brain you're ultimately another instinct roll also we'll just spell power

spk_0 clubs power clubs seven piece dice set is about to go up these are six they are six these are like

spk_0 my favorite dice ever these are awesome one and one that's good to go on face unfazed by this

spk_0 14 is this success you what you you keep it at pay 14 14 as well you guys the first screen

spk_0 a little shake in this one all have 15 same yeah 14 great oh nine there we go yeah

spk_0 oh yeah fear doesn't matter with the reaction to your good but you guys so you lose a hope and you

spk_0 mark a stress on this one as you you see Joey squawk over here like being repeatedly shaken by the

spk_0 presence of this this this alien psychic storm I stopped listening to my commercial in my head

spk_0 oh interesting so so as a reaction I forgot to note as you both stabbed this creature it as a

spk_0 reaction it has shifting form because of its body moving in an alien and unfamiliar way we need

spk_0 to suit it causes you both to get spooked you both mark a stress from both striking it and doing

spk_0 three or more hip points from an attack so back on us now I know the other one gets to attack

spk_0 oh it's gonna bother it's going to rush up to you Sam and his tentacles are going to

spk_0 reach out trying grass bat you that's going to be oh that's not a good roll that's a five

spk_0 you're that's a pretty sure it's not higher than your evasion so as it reaches out for you you

spk_0 just start back out of the way and keep at bay from its assault this pot lights back to you who

spk_0 would like to go I want to pick a giant rock the biggest rock in my pocket and as close range just

spk_0 as hard as I can right you're your block your girlfriend block wow that's seen personal

spk_0 you're okay you know we're finally able to talk about it later when I was dated huh yeah one

spk_0 time we went back in the day and asked me out and asked me out one time I said yeah you took me

spk_0 to see Air Force one yeah three times you're such a good great movie get off my play on my

spk_0 brain audience give me three more fears so I'm just adding that there thank you so much audience

spk_0 all right so you're taking your uncle you do have 15 more plus ones to add if you'd like to

spk_0 the audience is given you can decide to use any we should save them probably for something bigger

spk_0 than this right I'm still one why not all right give me one give me two yeah yeah all right so

spk_0 plus two on that all right so that leaves us that at 13 left

spk_0 so it's 11 with hope looking with hope are you cool that one no I think how many how many

spk_0 rerolls do you have you currently have six more Rebels we should save those not you think those

spk_0 are pretty big I mean I mean can donate more unless they don't do it do it do it do it all right I'll do

spk_0 we run out okay there we go that's better all right so it's so wait it's just yeah it's 13 with

spk_0 hope 13 with hope yeah that's better and I don't add anything yet it is not I wouldn't add a

spk_0 agility or strength or anything well for the rocket would say I think it's finesse or agility

spk_0 there is it with the trait on oh yeah no it is agility so yes I would add two so 15 15 succeeds

spk_0 yeah take that yeah let's go ahead and roll damage and then so it's 2d6

spk_0 no no no no no no oh okay I do in the awesome

spk_0 the power glove the power glove from Nintendo I mean come on so bad eight points of damage yeah

spk_0 all right this is to the one who's already been wounded or to the one that's gonna untouched

spk_0 I'm gonna do the already wounded all right that will be past its major threshold it's two more

spk_0 hit points on that one crack the rock like slams and the tentacles like it beds itself this jagged

spk_0 piece of like broken concrete it was left in the parking lot there's now stuck out of its

spk_0 mass of writhing body parts and here it's trying to eject it from its what you imagine a face would

spk_0 be and it's lodged in at that moment um at this point you notice the ceiling is now growing thick

spk_0 and somewhat viscous as whatever expansion you notice before has hit this floor and begins to

spk_0 rain down a strange acidic fume the audience has given you all to one hit point to mark as the

spk_0 atmosphere here now grows more caustic oh no point I'm gonna I'm gonna use an armor

spk_0 tell you this one you can't use it yeah okay this this just burns through to you

spk_0 um but that's all that's good there uh two more of you by the way can add plus two to an

spk_0 experience if you'd like from audience donations do it do it do it do it grab it grab it

spk_0 do it last time yeah we didn't get to do it awesome two you didn't I didn't get to do it

spk_0 you do it uh I know okay you had yeah you did it I want you to I thought I did it she did it I did

spk_0 do I added you took it for a man yeah okay I didn't take it but um okay I could just put it on

spk_0 anything on anyone your experiences uh plus two yeah plus two for that who would like to take

spk_0 the spotlight now well it seems can I just say it seems like there are two tentacles still coming at us

spk_0 correct yeah they're the two alien details yeah one of them one of them looks pretty hurt and the other

spk_0 has been untouched well I do have a hooligan trait oh it's a strength trait it's a skill craft

spk_0 trait it's boomerang toss when you have an equipped weapon with a range of melee or very close it

spk_0 can fly from your hand to attack an adversary within close range and then return to you

spk_0 can mark a stress to target an additional adversary within range with the same attack roll yes you

spk_0 can so I would like to use this to attack both of them my baseball bat let's go okay

spk_0 oh okay 19 plus five 24 with hope what agility or no wait no I'm using this strength this is um

spk_0 yeah strength that very much it's yeah all right so take take that hope and roll damage for that

spk_0 I said it's Marcus stress to hit them out is what it was uh yes and Marcus stress

spk_0 yes Marcus stress for doing the effect but you go and take it back it spins around cracks up

spk_0 against one bounces off and cracks into the other go ahead and roll damage for your baseball

spk_0 okay that's this one that that would be this 2d 10 2 10 side of dice I think that was where are they

spk_0 it's all good I know sorry that's all good it's all good it's it's the one that looks like

spk_0 okay looks like a diamond almost like that oh yeah yeah it's all good we got you

spk_0 for the record a lot of people is table first time playing a tabletop of RPG and they're

spk_0 killing it they're doing so good never killing it you guys are taking to like that's a d8 this

spk_0 right there that's this one fish to water yeah that one right there there you go it's all good

spk_0 okay it's a six and a four ten ten ten points of damage that's going to be a major wound

spk_0 how do you want to do this you describe how your bat takes one of these aliens out okay

spk_0 so I swing the bat from my hands almost in slow motion it comes up to the aliens to the one

spk_0 who's wounded and it just it just hits it and it splatters everywhere it's gone and it's some of it

spk_0 just splatters on all of our faces oh it's in my nose oh no and then it gets into the next one

spk_0 wraps around it crack snaps it in half it's not it's not completely dumb but it causes damage

spk_0 and then comes and and and swirls right back around into my hands what's it's it's an incredible

spk_0 display a sam stands there Ripley style with the with the bat in the hand the camera kind of comes

spk_0 in real fast chisel jaw ready to dominate yes she's a queen you're killing them all small

spk_0 yeah I'm gonna burn a fear the one the one that's still standing and took the hit from the bat and

spk_0 I'll look back towards you get set on the ground and begins lunging towards you in all fours in a

spk_0 very animalistic lurch before leaping towards you as tentacles reaching for your face

spk_0 that's going to be an 11 to hit you oh yeah mine yeah all right so for that question I have this

spk_0 thing here um confidence boost spend three hope to talk up an alisability and granting them either

spk_0 plus two to a trait of your choice or plus two to their evasion lasting to the end of the scene

spk_0 can I do that if you'd like to would plus two to your evasion it would not help um how about adding

spk_0 plus two to any trait so I guess that's not this is really not helping but that's a good thing to

spk_0 know for future battles also if you do it at the start of the battle it lasts yeah the whole thing

spk_0 yeah that's a good thing to hold on to that's a really useful thing wait so if she did that right when

spk_0 we walked into the room when the when the two guys came in that the whole battle the whole battle

spk_0 you get that plus two to your evasion forever she targeted or plus two to a trait that you choose

spk_0 I think that she does yeah wait who's trapper keeper do we have up is it a rider trapper keeper

spk_0 it's a cross-cafe! give it a hug give it a hug it's roll cute it's proud it's a note in here

spk_0 and to celebrate you take 11 points of energy damage and you mark an additional armor slot as

spk_0 your armor is dissolved from the contact of the tentacles upon your body okay wait 11 points

spk_0 correct of damage okay but okay I can also take an armor without instead of a well you can you

spk_0 can burn the armor to reduce it by one threshold but regardless you're already in the minor

spk_0 yeah so you got so but you also burn an additional armor because of its aesthetic tentacles

spk_0 I'm telling you right the armor all right that ends their activation the singular one who wants to take

spk_0 the spotlight now I mean I have that mean you'd have to embrace an armor I didn't have one yet

spk_0 oh that was my first armor yeah okay all right I'm gonna go how many are left now we got one

spk_0 okay so I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna go up to it and out of my I'm gonna reach and

spk_0 real far in one of my cargo pockets and I'm gonna pull out a jar okay and in this jar another

spk_0 because I am also one of my abilities bug collector yes because I am an indoor kid

spk_0 so I don't play with children I play in my backyard right fair actually he's playing a character

spk_0 basically me all right so it is a jar of fireflies all ready so if I make a skilled craft roll

spk_0 in close range just spend a hope okay I'll spend a hope

spk_0 and then deal 28 plus three let's do it energy yes so so I just go up to and

spk_0 okay okay so um um um where to go all right so what am I rolling with

spk_0 okay okay that's fine we have three rolls which all allow the three rolls for damage dice if you

spk_0 okay what is my okay wait 13 it's 15 15 damage no that's 15 to hit oh to hit that

spk_0 Jerry happy with that did that hit I think I hit it 15 did night with fireflies I don't know with

spk_0 fireflies but I think you hit it 15 yeah I think you're good that okay I'm gonna stay with that okay

spk_0 that hits yeah all right all right all right all right so it's two D8 plus three

spk_0 okay all right that's pretty good uh eight or twelve uh 15 15 is past its severe

spk_0 threshold let's do it yeah it's on it it is the fireflies swim around it and it's they're the

spk_0 normal fireflies but as they like land on its face you watch them something like

spk_0 they start popping around it as they do it's like burning its flesh like they're

spk_0 they're in the fireflies like but they're there's some sort of a chemical reaction in their

spk_0 presence that is scarring this alien creature deeply and it looks like it's barely holding on

spk_0 it's starting to like turn around and it looks like it may try and bolt or try and search for help

spk_0 that was with hope or fear that was with hope that was with hope you guys are all in the hope pretty

spk_0 off yeah we are I'm gonna go ahead and spend a few uh to have it oh as of this part of shifting

spk_0 form you do mark a stress for doing three more hit points to it because the like his body

spk_0 rivers of the impact of the the the fireflies um it's gonna go ahead and hit you with its

spk_0 hammer fist it's gonna rush forward and it's what the kind of fleshy glove kind of slides off of

spk_0 it and you see now this weird like curled reptilian like hand that just curls into a massive

spk_0 fast moving green hammer towards your face this is gonna be that's a natural turning that's a

spk_0 critical hit oh no so you take so that would be 22 points of damage

spk_0 as this creature at the edge of its of its its need to survive or it takes something down with it

spk_0 it just goes right into the core of your the bridge of your nose and your forehead with a heavy

spk_0 heavy impact okay I'm gonna use an armor to take that down because that was over my severe

spk_0 right so it takes on the two hit points to two hit points oh shit I'm full up and hit points

spk_0 that you're done yeah wait so what does that mean so we get to make a death move

spk_0 oh no you're about to be recast yeah it's a spell it says a touching moment you can take a moment

spk_0 to express your appreciation to someone and help them recover when when you can take a few

spk_0 minute few minutes to focus on the target you're helping you can spend two hope to clear a

spk_0 hit point or a stress on them so yeah so you can do that if you after this fight if so we'll

spk_0 see how it goes here but you but you can do that to bring her back so for now you have the choice

spk_0 to go unconscious okay it means you're out of the rest of this this fight this scene okay you're fine

spk_0 or you could blaze of glory take one action that's an automatic crit success and then you're gone

spk_0 you pass or you can risk it all roll your duality dice and if your hope die is higher you regain

spk_0 hit points or stress equal to what you roll the hope die if your fear die is higher you're gone

spk_0 do go unconscious I gotta go unconscious okay I can't leave it they're just on the

spk_0 table they're just on the table they're all right with a heavy smack you watch as Karin just crumbles

spk_0 to the ground carrying and the energy turns around and it's going to bolt for the door it's

spk_0 spotlights back to you what would you like to do well can I now can I do this when can I use you can

spk_0 do that when you're not in the middle of a scuffle of battle because because for a touching moment

spk_0 you need kind of a moment to talk you don't understand all right in in every Friday night sitcom there

spk_0 was a touching moment any we ever wanted it to be and the music would come in you know what

spk_0 I accept that no I'm in the middle of his chaos sparkly music sought music begins to kick in

spk_0 I'm just laying there as as you lean into the unconscious Karin please describe to me this touching moment

spk_0 as you lay here unconscious in your enormous cargo shorts stuffed with all kinds of stuff bugs

spk_0 stuff from craft service I don't want your youth and film award to be the high point of your

spk_0 young life as a doctor I can't let this happen Karin excuse me I'm a tiny

spk_0 so Karin I will spend as much hope I will as the sparkly music infuses me with special powers I

spk_0 will pour hope directly from my heart into life for

spk_0 of there's been a lot of meetings in the executive office and somewhere else that I'm unaware of

spk_0 he keeps telling me to stay out of there and not to go snooping around his office specifically

spk_0 uh I also know that a lot of kids have been kind of showing up around here that haven't been seen

spk_0 anymore there's a bigger thing going on here that I don't fully understand but uh if I can help

spk_0 it all do you need me to go call the police uh what if I could be of service give me a task I'm

spk_0 really going to task since pretty much all I'm good at police police police how do we get to the office

spk_0 of seeing that you all lose hope if you don't have any hope to lose let me know he was hugged he's

spk_0 golly um there is there is a a a firescape stairwell that I think should get us up to the third floor

spk_0 and if it's not fully corroded like this it should it should help us come with me and he kind of

spk_0 runs out of the hallway like dragging the pipe behind and you can see now like the the it goes

spk_0 dripping and that the walls are almost like kind of bending in a a weird non-uclidean way almost

spk_0 like the corners are starting to shift and and and this is no longer becoming the executive office

spk_0 this is like it is being turned into something else uh he begins rushing come on hurry gets over

spk_0 to the outside of a fire skinkers the door oh no it's locked is he with an open

spk_0 key oh wait wait who knows how to pick a lot I do I do I have a little criminality I have a

spk_0 little criminality I have an advantage on action rolls to pick locks disarmed traps or steal items

spk_0 from a target yeah great all right I'm gonna try and pick a lock fantastic let's go uh go ahead and

spk_0 roll for nests roll for me with that additional advantage uh so that's 15 plus two

spk_0 17 so 17 are you happy with that wait do I get I get an additional advantage yeah I didn't take

spk_0 an advantage I get another eight side of dice six in a dice to add to it yeah go for it yes six

spk_0 nice so that's 23 I am happy with great that is the success you go ahead and like definitely

spk_0 definitely oh yeah you've you've spent a lot of time alone definitely learn and learn and learn

spk_0 book a few times you have the other slow practice locks and opens up into a cold uh lightless stairway

spk_0 that goes upward you take a quick smell and that kind of odd uh accurate smell that's now beginning

spk_0 to fill the building is not as dense here which means you feel it might be a safe ascent yeah let's

spk_0 go uh was with that with hope of here uh oh oh all right take a hope uh you continue up the stairs

spk_0 case third floor uh Myers goes ahead and uh from this side it is able to unlock the door to open

spk_0 it up and in this floor you can see it's now been corrupting but there is a path to the office

spk_0 itself he goes quick over there you rush over to the executive door and he says oh this was locked

spk_0 too I don't have the key Jay keep it down sorry right come on do you have to pick another lock

spk_0 yes I'll try I don't know what was just a key card right your lockers are trying to keep the

spk_0 key card any key card situation no shit there's a key card swap there but your key card just

spk_0 beep and this blinks red it's not it's just I don't have the master thing it's the it's the it's

spk_0 that was just the executive detail yes all right and you look there's not a key slot either it is a

spk_0 key card thing it's just uh it's just a door handle there wait all right I can try and hack it maybe

spk_0 if I can just uh my it just can't get open to well can I do a knowledge role to try and see if I

spk_0 can hack into the key card give it a shot come on come on all right I'm gonna you um this is like

spk_0 getting a terminator to like hacking into the ATM right yeah so what can I do here I can

spk_0 for making an action role that good all right so I I can spend a hope to use my I've read about

spk_0 this skill to gain advantage on my role um so that gives me an extra six headed die on top of this

spk_0 do you want any bonuses for this this is a difficult role yeah I think we should yeah yes yes yes

spk_0 yes yes for sure okay you have 17 bonuses to add oh oh let's add five yeah all right so

spk_0 five down to twelve don't point let's go Lucas come on because this one might be a higher

spk_0 all right so this is a finesse role right so that's seven well this would be knowledge oh sorry

spk_0 knowledge right so that's plus three sorry it says 10 15 uh plus four uh 19 plus the five

spk_0 uh hmm so 24 are you happy with that that's pretty good pretty good yeah yeah that's with hope yeah

spk_0 happy with that yeah you pull out some of your your small hacking devices you order online and then

spk_0 like a couple friends the kind of kids that were briefly your friend but then bullied you and

spk_0 kind of walked away they kind of gave you some insight in these early hacker days you know I

spk_0 have the planet shit it's amazing um but this but this particular system has aspects to it that are

spk_0 they're deeper than what you've encountered before and you try and accomplish it before it goes

spk_0 beep the blink straight again chest missed 25 what you needed I want to try to kick it all yeah

spk_0 I need you to make a strength role for me okay and I'd also like to use my nepo baby experience

spk_0 because Ralph Macho's my aunt's cousin so a lot of karate kid spend the hope let's do it and I

spk_0 got the plus two from that so I got plus five sign dice trazer up hell yeah do you want to add

spk_0 any bonuses to this role it is also a very difficult role uh we should should we do another five

spk_0 yeah let's do another five are you doing the great you're doing that I mean you gotta get

spk_0 you so crazy you gotta get over 25 I know and I've got so I've got a plus you're the best great

spk_0 oh yeah we are at 17 27

spk_0 oh yes crack the door slams open finish him

spk_0 yeah

spk_0 my mind is wonderful and you all rush into the office and close the door behind uh now you stand

spk_0 in the executive office just as you remember it there's no

spk_0 doorway there's no elevator present it's just a still untouched office with the thick window

spk_0 pane that overlooks the darkened exterior courtyard guys I know there's some kind of

spk_0 yes it must be underneath this carpet you do see two VHS tapes sitting on the edge of the desk pop

spk_0 mid and it quits as he is the executive of the studio there is a CTR VHS combo unit off the side

spk_0 um off from his desk on the opposite end so you go ahead and pop in the first VHS and press play

spk_0 oh hey hey it's uh it's big foley uh things are getting crazy around here a me and Tory went

spk_0 snooping after I trashed that psycho robot clone of me and this shit goes deep we found some weird

spk_0 code mr piercing kept under his candy ball and tried to hack into the studio's computer systems

spk_0 like in the movies but my family only owns a mackintosh so that got us nowhere until

spk_0 until we searched mr piercens desk and found a hidden button whoosh a secret elevator door opened up

spk_0 and it only went down creepy as hell man Tory and I followed it down to some crazy underground bunker

spk_0 place massive we stuck around some more but got noticed and we ran back here to hide I think they

spk_0 might still be looking for us if you find this we're probably down here somewhere here see if this

spk_0 code helps you more than it helped us all right and you see attached to the bottom of this VHS tape

spk_0 is this particular numbered code that he had mentioned they had found under the candy bowl

spk_0 all right that's under that was what we found under the candy ball well that that's what he said

spk_0 he found under the candy bowl and was kind of set underneath the VHS let's let's search the desk

spk_0 yeah but who would like to search the room here who wants to to can we do is a group role so who's

spk_0 helming this role this would be this would be specifically either it's probably an instinct role to

spk_0 try and search throughout so I got a plus two I got a plus three three maybe all right so KC

spk_0 going to help this all right I need everybody else first to roll instinct reaction roll so just

spk_0 roll dice and add your instinct don't worry about hope or fear

spk_0 right

spk_0 you can have another die

spk_0 instinct I put it back I got a 16

spk_0 okay 17 yeah 16 okay 16 17 it's two plus two 22 plus three uh 24 plus four seven total

spk_0 plus three 23 23 plus three is 26 that is that is a great with hope here with fear fear I'll thank

spk_0 that fear there all right so a couple things one glancing through here as you're searching some of

spk_0 you are checking under the desk and elements you see one of the cabinets you open it up and there is

spk_0 a massive metal safe in there with a keypad on it okay okay I'm gonna put this code into the keypad

spk_0 and see if it works okay that's great that's the same number that girls when they give me the phone

spk_0 numbers the same number it's not there's only five numbers I know that's why I've never literally never

spk_0 called a call okay okay nine two four three nine two four nine three that's September

spk_0 24-9-3 that's that's the first episode of white meat scroll there strange um as you put the code in

spk_0 you hear the door unlocks and opens up and on the inside you see what looks like a metal bracelet

spk_0 but it has some strange like a glowing circle in the center of it and it looks like a button on

spk_0 the side and a strange little like almost like like a pen that sticks out the front of it as you

spk_0 find a time displacement device all right time displacement device uh spend a hope to make a

spk_0 skill craft roll against a target within close range on a success target gains the time locked status

spk_0 for one minute or until they take any damage while time locked the target is frozen in time and

spk_0 unable to be spotlighted by the GM move or experience anything that happens around them on a

spk_0 failure with fear the GM gains an additional fear okay so do I use this now or should I save it

spk_0 I think I can freeze somebody yeah yeah you can freeze somebody and stop somebody from okay

spk_0 attack or what okay while you're going into the safe the risk you're searching and indeed are on

spk_0 the desk you pull through all the bits of the drawers and stuff and there's one bottom drawer where

spk_0 you feel underneath and with that high enough roll you come over and you find a button amongst

spk_0 your friends and you press it and one of the walls on the left hand side between two the shoving

spk_0 units opens and it's the sound you heard before and the elevator doors are awaiting um question you

spk_0 said you there was two VHS tapes correct so let's pop in the second tape right oh yes yeah yeah

spk_0 also side note my dice are up right now the beacon rewind dispel set and they are

spk_0 oh they're sick oh yeah um now because the uh as the doors open there is a slight

spk_0 maybe be like a key card nodule that's almost expected anything and it beeps four times for

spk_0 nothing happens it unleashes a torrent of electricity it's some sort of security device on it that

spk_0 wasn't checked with any sort of existing possible key card and as it does it unleashes unleashes this

spk_0 blast of energy out to all of you this like electrical arcs and everyone to make an agility

spk_0 reaction roll for me please

spk_0 so what are we rolling again I'm saying agility reaction roll agility okay we gotta get you I know

spk_0 I got 18 18 here be all right you take seven points of energy damage with an 18 yeah damn

spk_0 I'm not we're not adding our our agility it is just reaction you're adding your agility bonus

spk_0 to oh I am okay uh I had a 17 17 you also take seven points of energy damage 26 seven points of energy

spk_0 damage eight eight you take 13 points of energy oh I I rolled a critical success all right so you

spk_0 take only seven points of damage 11 let me take 13 points of energy can I use an armor yeah you

spk_0 use an armor okay so you use an armor I'm gonna give you so if I took seven and I used an armor if I

spk_0 use an armor it reduces it by one threshold so if it's already on your mind or you take nothing

spk_0 okay so I'm gonna do that go for it um so you like like like so the elevator isn't open but that

spk_0 it seems to be requiring some sort of card to get through um you go and like try the key card that

spk_0 you have and it still beeps red but you do have the other VHS yeah all right are you

spk_0 placing an active math I know I know I'm going to give Karin I'm gonna give you the the advanced

spk_0 force field Karin Karin Karin

spk_0 and then you used a bonus I had it used it so you could use an armor slot to take it down to one

spk_0 so you wouldn't be unconscious or else you're gonna be unconscious so I would use an armor slot

spk_0 to take you to your mind now you can you can add you can use to hope that I had an experience if

spk_0 you want to if it makes sense oh no I just keep forgetting when I roll even when I roll it over

spk_0 myself I hope you're about to keep getting to get myself you're hurting too I'm gonna remember

spk_0 yeah I'm gonna get remember that you can you can take a couple of hope if you don't know I can't help

spk_0 I'm gonna give it to Paloma okay so Paloma takes the force field you wish wow uh the other VHS

spk_0 tape you go and lift it off the table and beneath it there are two there there's a small

spk_0 satchel and it looks to be a blue key card someone can hold on to if they'd like to hey by the way

spk_0 you guys are doing on stuff apparently we tried our key card in the elevator and it just

spk_0 beeped red it won't let us in the elevator even though it's open and we'll let us in the elevator

spk_0 so maybe this will work this will work that might be the mastermind should we look at the other

spk_0 video too yeah yeah let's look at the other video all right so you plop in the second VHS tape and press play

spk_0 hey it's Lisa they have them all here all the missing kids and some of the adults I don't know

spk_0 their plan but they have their hands and everything I went to go tell our producer Trisha and her face

spk_0 just became tentacles and I panicked and then I threw a Capri Sunneter I barely got away I don't know

spk_0 who I can trust I might be the only one I'm gonna try to go back okay I'm free everyone then if I

spk_0 don't make it give my guitar to planet so Lisa Lisa's been caught up in this too oh so because she

spk_0 stayed yeah that was a problem she should have left oh you say you say yes the other the

spk_0 satchel that's left aside that was kind of set aside is filled with three Capri Suns

spk_0 one that she she's through to escape but these can be used to heal if you'd like

spk_0 consumed recover either 1d4 plus 1 hit points or clear a stress how are you with hit points

spk_0 they're hurting I mean if I have one more I'm out okay thank you Capri Sun I'm gonna drink a

spk_0 cup of coffee well before we do that before we do that before we do that we do have the audiences the

spk_0 audience paid for two chances to do a short rest action immediately so while you guys are taking

spk_0 this moment you can you can choose one of your short rest you either recover 1d4 hit points

spk_0 okay recover 1d4 armor or recover 1d4 stress or gain a hope you get to choose one

spk_0 before we use that in lieu of this before before you do that you can do in the middle of battle you

spk_0 can eat you just pop I'm gonna pull up my pop a straw on that and that that strange overly saccharin

spk_0 fruit punch headache giving drink love it I'm gonna pull out my team coons book and sit down and

spk_0 read your stress out fair I'm gonna go out please three so you can recover 1d4 hit points which

spk_0 is a four-sided dice the little uh you're one that's what you want you want you can recover 1d4

spk_0 spent armor so you take off three of your hit points you can recover one of your stress yeah one

spk_0 d roll roll the four-sided dice and then recover that okay I like to

spk_0 for stress okay and if you stress hit points or armor yeah yeah yeah but you get to choose

spk_0 this twice because the audience allowed you to do that you can use one now if you want to

spk_0 night yeah four four your gear all clear baby all of the things I have a great I have a question

spk_0 yes all of my abilities are all for long rests am I allowed to use any of these or not we got to

spk_0 we got to do a lot I mean you can use them whenever but you just can't use them again until your next

spk_0 long rest so you basically we don't have a long right so you can use these all ones more or less

spk_0 right but we need to do a long rest first well no no you you have the use now oh okay and then once

spk_0 you use it you can't use it again and got you so you can use these whenever okay does anyone want

spk_0 the Capri Sun as well otherwise I will keep it in my back pocket for future we still got we still

spk_0 got a slim gym or what yeah a slam jam slam jam that's also food yeah I have a slap into it

spk_0 so I have a question then for the ability if I do my story teller right now and I tell

spk_0 historians is one of the things we can do is epic tale make a target within close range temporarily

spk_0 vulnerable that's in the future there's a target and so what you would do is you would you would

spk_0 you would do that in the middle of facing off with an opponent and you tell an epic tale that

spk_0 more or less frightens or dejection right right why don't I do it okay that opponent becomes

spk_0 vulnerable which means attacks against them got you have advantage got you so you can do each of

spk_0 those ones more or less all three of these ones oh wow okay great cool all right yeah I feel better

spk_0 yeah got a smoke let you go you can see now the weird expanding creep of the hallway starting to

spk_0 come through the top and bottom of the doorway the leads into this office this is expanding

spk_0 this chamber is becoming less and less safe we gotta get out we gotta use a new key

spk_0 car elevator and get down there let's go find all these people I can't imagine a world without

spk_0 least gain two more fear from the audience thank you all righty you go ahead and take the blue key

spk_0 card boom swing screen or open into a red interior elevator no it's tight but you can all fit in there

spk_0 after right yes you got to go in you step inside and the doors closed just it leads you deeper

spk_0 and deeper and deeper you're not sure how far you're going it feels like 10 50 hundred feet

spk_0 the only button that you see on there that you had pressed you kind of getting close you can see

spk_0 there are two there are two buttons on this oh and B50 oh no and you just wait and wait and wait

spk_0 as it slowly descends before eventually it stops the doors open and there before you

spk_0 is this massive concrete chamber with like a metal foyer with strange sculptures and large pillars

spk_0 that rides up undecorated beyond the harsh overhead lighting and you can see there are three different

spk_0 halls that seem to extend from this area there's nobody present in the current room but you have

spk_0 three pabs to choose forward anybody feels strongly about one way right left or middle any

spk_0 meany mindy moat we could oh I have an RC helicopter in my one of my pockets of course you go so I

spk_0 can send one of them forward to check out each each area each path does it have a camera on it

spk_0 is our safety recon recon what happened the my my my my my my my copter what am I is going I thought I

spk_0 can see through do we lose my I think we lost my eyes my eyes go my eyes is still up in the office

spk_0 is left that's all right he was dead weight anyway yeah yeah all right I'm gonna take out my toy

spk_0 copter and I'm gonna send it down the left first okay I think it's a good idea what if there's

spk_0 like knives and stuff yeah yeah camera on the copter yeah it has a small little camera on the

spk_0 it's like a really shitty little screen yeah high technology it's it's yeah it's it's yeah it's

spk_0 well it's you look at the controllers of it it has a bunch of Japanese text on it this was imported

spk_0 yes of course I like first iPhone yeah begins to scoot off down the left hallway you said first

spk_0 um the the um yes okay it's scoots down that hallway uh you can see there are a number of doors

spk_0 to the right and left side looks like almost like office doors but they're not marked uh you do

spk_0 see one door that's open it's dark and it progresses before a heavy right turn and there is a

spk_0 heavy double metal door there that looks like it has some sort of uh another key card uh marker on

spk_0 it but it is closed at the moment there are lights that are are currently dull kind of fix the

spk_0 wall they could be emergency lights that could be notification lights um and it still has the same

spk_0 kind of harsh overhead lighting all through that curved hallway as it goes okay I'll fly it

spk_0 back towards us to go down in the middle also we're doing that writers trapper keeper is up next y'all

spk_0 yes yes um yeah okay as the copter pulls back it doesn't it's not silent um you do see a figure

spk_0 kind of lean out and from one of the halls it looks like a a person and just work close more

spk_0 less kind of stare at it and look at it and then go ahead and slap the side of the wall before

spk_0 all of a sudden oh no oh no oh oh wow all the doors closed gush gush gush gush gush gush gush gush gush gush

spk_0 here like doors thing with the hallway and then the ceiling opens up a heavy metal box drops from

spk_0 the top, as the audience voted for a dangerous circumstance. The top lid kind of flies off

spk_0 kink, kink, kink, kink, and it's the wall of a Kishase. The wall is fall back and there you see

spk_0 this mass, this round, tight sphere of it looks like green and yellow, like, sing you, flesh.

spk_0 and it tenses before four arms. Extend from it. This massive behemoth, like a nightmare,

spk_0 hairless gorilla in green and yellow muscular form. Tiny little legs, curls, like uncurls from this

spk_0 ball and where its face is, you see these. This singular red eye and this massive tentacles

spk_0 kind of dangle from where its mouth would be as this alien behemoth looks at you.

spk_0 In lunges towards you aggressively, what do you want to do?

spk_0 Oh, I shoot it. I do your cutting.

spk_0 I do it. So what is that entail here?

spk_0 Go ahead and make it for an S-roll towards it.

spk_0 Would you like to take any bonuses to it? You have 11 bonuses you can add to her.

spk_0 Yeah, I think we should. How many? Three?

spk_0 Three. Okay.

spk_0 Let's read to this.

spk_0 Okay. Nine with hope plus three is plus two. I thought we did plus three.

spk_0 Yeah. And is it finesse?

spk_0 So 14.

spk_0 I thought I remember four, four, four, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven.

spk_0 Yeah. So 14. Are you happy with that? We're just like three.

spk_0 I don't think it's enough. I guess.

spk_0 How many people have left? Five. Currently you have two more.

spk_0 Oh, we save it for a major boss.

spk_0 Maybe this is a major boss. I feel like it's going to be a good show.

spk_0 No, we still have to get something.

spk_0 This is just the dangerous predicament that the audience. Yeah.

spk_0 I say we save them.

spk_0 Okay. You can try it. You can try it. He's big. Maybe that'll hit him.

spk_0 14. Yeah.

spk_0 It's still charging. Yeah.

spk_0 Let's stick.

spk_0 Okay.

spk_0 That's it.

spk_0 You go to fire and the sheer like veracity of its charge towards you.

spk_0 Spooks you a bit and gets you fire wide. It echoes to the chamber as lumbars towards you.

spk_0 That was with hope, you said. Yeah.

spk_0 You gain a hope. However, spotlight does come to me.

spk_0 So I'm going to go ahead and use ramp up.

spk_0 The alien behemoth, it must spend a fear to be spotlighted.

spk_0 So I'm going to spend a fear to use this ability.

spk_0 It lunges towards you and kind of where you're all kind of clustered after emerging from this elevator.

spk_0 It rushes in the middle and swings its forearms wide to try and impact all of you.

spk_0 It makes the attack against the entire group. I dropped that dice. I'm going to roll this one instead.

spk_0 That's going to be 14 to hit.

spk_0 Does that hit your team?

spk_0

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 So all of you take 15 points of damage as these massive, rippling dangerous arms just pummel through your entire troop.

spk_0 And it's now standing in the center. Can I do an armor?

spk_0 You can spend an armor to reduce that if you have it.

spk_0 That ends my spotlight. It's back to you. What would you like to do?

spk_0 All right. I'm going to run up to it with my trapper keeper and take a shot.

spk_0 Go. I'll make your attack.

spk_0 Okay.

spk_0 Um, uh, where's the...

spk_0 There it is.

spk_0 Paloma, use your force field to save yourself.

spk_0 Don't get hurt.

spk_0 We're not up for that.

spk_0 She has her force field.

spk_0 She can spend hope to reduce the damage.

spk_0 What's the one you have?

spk_0 What did we do before you did this one?

spk_0 16 times.

spk_0 If you want to put on this before you took the ball, you're probably getting a bit of a hit.

spk_0 Did you hit?

spk_0 I didn't describe it with hope.

spk_0 With hope?

spk_0 With hope? Take it.

spk_0 You guys are going some good hope for me.

spk_0 I know.

spk_0 It's great.

spk_0 Okay.

spk_0 For you.

spk_0 For me, but for then, time is critical.

spk_0 Okay.

spk_0 I'll get within close range on a success the target.

spk_0 Time wants the right.

spk_0 Yes.

spk_0 This could be a small one.

spk_0 Should I use this?

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 Okay.

spk_0 16 points of damage.

spk_0 Yes.

spk_0 Alrighty.

spk_0 That is going to be its major threshold.

spk_0 So it takes two points.

spk_0 Great.

spk_0 Great, great, great.

spk_0 It's a big, big, big picture.

spk_0

spk_0 I'm also going to spend a hope point.

spk_0 I'm going to spend a hope to add insult to injury.

spk_0 Okay.

spk_0 And it also has to take a mark of stress.

spk_0 Okay.

spk_0 How do you insult it as she slams it with this trapper keeper?

spk_0 Say, uh, hey, buddy.

spk_0 You're an ass hat.

spk_0 I could have done better.

spk_0 I don't know.

spk_0 I spend fear and activated.

spk_0 It's going to go ahead and mark a stress to do charging rush as it kind of like leaps towards where you are.

spk_0 Like, it jumps in the air and lands.

spk_0 And the three of you are now in a row.

spk_0 And it's going to charge in a line through all three of you on this side of the table.

spk_0 I think it's going to be on.

spk_0 He's yet to be on.

spk_0 That's going to be an eight.

spk_0 I think I had a role.

spk_0 Yes.

spk_0 I miss all of you.

spk_0 Yes.

spk_0 We got another sign to character print up for us.

spk_0 It runs through and all of you managed to duck out of the way and just barely dodges the kind of slams.

spk_0 It's arms like hit the edge of the concrete wall.

spk_0 And as it does, the concrete cracks and breaks off in pieces.

spk_0 This is a dangerously strong beast.

spk_0 But you managed to avoid the impact.

spk_0 Spotlights back to you.

spk_0 What would somebody like to do?

spk_0

spk_0 Wait, I've got this.

spk_0 Wait, how do I use this?

spk_0 I've got an unleashed slingshot.

spk_0 I'm not sure.

spk_0 That's good, but this one is freezing.

spk_0 Oh, time to split.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 That's great.

spk_0 That's it.

spk_0 That's kind of a reason.

spk_0 Yes.

spk_0 I'm going to love it.

spk_0 For a minute.

spk_0 And then we can run it.

spk_0 So now, what do I do?

spk_0 You use the time and space, so you spend a hope.

spk_0 Do you have a hope to spend?

spk_0 I have a hope to spend.

spk_0 And I make a skill craft.

spk_0 Okay, so I erase a hope.

spk_0 And then I, what is that?

spk_0 Oh, skill craft is this.

spk_0 Yes, a role is to target within close range.

spk_0 Yep, so role and add your presence.

spk_0 Okay.

spk_0 Against the target.

spk_0 Role and add my presence.

spk_0 Role.

spk_0 You know, a 14 didn't succeed.

spk_0

spk_0 Right.

spk_0 Nine and four plus two.

spk_0 15.

spk_0 Do you want to stay with that?

spk_0 Or do you want to re-roll?

spk_0 This one we might want to re-roll.

spk_0 Let's re-roll.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 Re-roll. This is a big one.

spk_0 Re-roll. Okay.

spk_0 We're going to re-roll.

spk_0 All right. So we'll spend another re-roll.

spk_0 You have one more re-roll after this.

spk_0 Looks like.

spk_0 Ten and four plus two.

spk_0 So 16.

spk_0 16.

spk_0 One better.

spk_0 I guess.

spk_0 I mean.

spk_0 16 with fear.

spk_0 16 with fear?

spk_0 That does succeed.

spk_0 Yeah!

spk_0 So as it kind of turns around.

spk_0 And it's just kind of like locked in place.

spk_0 And you see it's body kind of like.

spk_0 There's like a weird glitchiness.

spk_0 As it's being held.

spk_0 It's locked it just outside of time.

spk_0 You have one minute before this breaks free from it.

spk_0 And if we hit it, we'll re-activate.

spk_0 If it takes damage, it breaks free from it.

spk_0 Okay. We got around.

spk_0 We just shoot at point blank.

spk_0 But that might not kill it.

spk_0 It might not kill it.

spk_0 And then it's a wait.

spk_0 Because you're over the fear.

spk_0 The doorway that holds the elevator.

spk_0 Also locks down.

spk_0 So there's no way to escape back up the elevator behind you.

spk_0 But there's other doors, right?

spk_0 There's three hallways.

spk_0 Let's get away from you.

spk_0 Right?

spk_0 Maybe there's a doorway to close behind us.

spk_0 Can I send my copter down the middle to see what's down there?

spk_0 Maybe a minute.

spk_0 Okay.

spk_0 We can.

spk_0 We'll probably go.

spk_0 Middle hallway.

spk_0 We haven't even seen.

spk_0 Okay.

spk_0 We're rushing down the center hallway.

spk_0 It curves around almost like an odd S curve.

spk_0 There's no other doorways like the other one.

spk_0 Hell almost like an office set.

spk_0 But it does come to another double door with like a key card element.

spk_0 The red lights are just kind of flashing quietly as the claxons

spk_0 and the distance are echoing the.

spk_0 What do you do?

spk_0 Keep going.

spk_0 All right.

spk_0 So you take the blue key card.

spk_0 Being a being's green or a blue light and the door is open,

spk_0 revealing the interior of a new chamber.

spk_0 Here you see a low lit warehouse like room.

spk_0 There's a number of metallic cage light containment shelves

spk_0 on against the walls of the inside of this room.

spk_0 You see dozens and dozens of these like thick black rubber

spk_0 hoses that seem to attach to these like containment boxes that all seem to

spk_0 converge and wrap to a central computer system that sets on a table.

spk_0 You see parts of the system look modern.

spk_0 In fact, you see there's like an incredible compact Intel Pentium system

spk_0 that's running Windows NT right there on the on the table.

spk_0 But there are other devices attached to it that have that kind of organic

spk_0 feel that spark within similar to the design of the cyborg Logan that you

spk_0 battle earlier.

spk_0 So there's an odd merger of alien tech and the best tech modern technology

spk_0 has to offer that is attached to all these various containment boxes here,

spk_0 as well as two tubes that go into the nearby wall and seem to travel elsewhere

spk_0 within this bunker.

spk_0 The brain.

spk_0 Stacy's incredible dice set.

spk_0 The VHS sharp edge dice surge 1985 games.

spk_0 And they are fucking beautiful.

spk_0 All right.

spk_0 What would you like to do?

spk_0 I mean, I'll try and why don't you try to get out?

spk_0 I just kind of have to try to try to.

spk_0 Can we?

spk_0 Oh wait, I'm close behind us.

spk_0 Close the door.

spk_0

spk_0 Close the door.

spk_0 Okay, go over and you swipe the card.

spk_0 Off its side.

spk_0 The door is.

spk_0 Close behind you.

spk_0 Okay.

spk_0 I mean, I speak a couple languages.

spk_0 Yeah, one of them is Elfish though.

spk_0 So I don't know that that's really good at it.

spk_0 Very little help.

spk_0 I know.

spk_0 All right, let me just try and see if I can figure this out because I know computers really well.

spk_0 Okay.

spk_0 And I did.

spk_0 I got such a good look at that that Logan's neck.

spk_0 I feel like maybe I've learned something I can figure this out.

spk_0 If you have the hope you could also initiate a tag team role in both of you could work together

spk_0 with your multi-language or multi-langual ability and your hacking ability up to you.

spk_0 I don't, but you have to have three hope to do that, right?

spk_0 I have three hope.

spk_0 I don't.

spk_0 So you could, oh, but you could initiate.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 Oh, okay.

spk_0 I say come with your language abilities.

spk_0 Sit down with me.

spk_0 Got it.

spk_0 I'm getting on this computer.

spk_0 I'm going to spend three hope.

spk_0 Oh, God, he has to open one of the languages is Elfish.

spk_0 He has to open one of the languages Elfish.

spk_0 Anything, any tag team role you are a part of can be initiated for only two hope.

spk_0 Correct.

spk_0 But that you have to be part of it too.

spk_0 Yeah, I'm doing the hacking.

spk_0 You heard it.

spk_0 Look at all my shoulders.

spk_0 But you can spend the hope if you have one to help one of them with a D8 if you'd like to.

spk_0 Wait, is there, is there like any other writing anywhere on any of these tubes?

spk_0 In like a different language that I might be able to do?

spk_0 Do you want to go ahead and inspect these like containment shelves or the.

spk_0 Yeah, I mean, yeah, we might be able to figure out how to jump on the computer.

spk_0 You look around and help me and like just tell me what you see while I'm like working.

spk_0 Okay, so instead of the tag team, you're going to go ahead and inspect the containment.

spk_0 You just you go ahead and make a knowledge role to try and see if you can hack into this state of the art.

spk_0 I'm going to spend it to give him the D8.

spk_0 You can do that.

spk_0 Hell yeah.

spk_0 Go ahead and spend that hope.

spk_0 The D8?

spk_0 Yes.

spk_0 Yep, that's it.

spk_0 Yeah, you're right.

spk_0 Alright, so yes.

spk_0 Alright, so go ahead and make your own.

spk_0 And then I'm also going to spend a hope to do my I've read about this ability, which gives me again an advantage on the role too.

spk_0 I love it. Let's go.

spk_0 Alright, so that gives me a D6 and then because she helped me out, I get another D6.

spk_0 She's willing, she willing D8 to help you on time.

spk_0 Oh, gotcha.

spk_0 So it's my advantage on this D6 or D6?

spk_0 I'm a little gist.

spk_0 Yes.

spk_0 It's a knowledge role, so I got 10, 12, 14.

spk_0 And she added D8.

spk_0

spk_0 So you added D8.

spk_0

spk_0 You're happy with that?

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 I'm going to have to go to two twos, guys.

spk_0 But wait, what were you all having to reveal?

spk_0 Is it a crit?

spk_0 No, because I'm a...

spk_0 Oh, that's the other one.

spk_0 I was on one advantage, but good to get out.

spk_0 It's a fear die.

spk_0 It's not a fear.

spk_0 Okay, are you happy with that?

spk_0 Or do you want to reveal?

spk_0 22.

spk_0 I think it's 22.

spk_0 I think I can do that.

spk_0 That's what it was.

spk_0 Your last reveal, clearly.

spk_0 Unless you all start donating to give the more re-rolls.

spk_0 What do you roll?

spk_0 That's great.

spk_0 So the eight would stay.

spk_0 Oh, okay.

spk_0 All right.

spk_0 Yes.

spk_0 17 plus five.

spk_0 So that's 22 plus three.

spk_0 Oh, hold on.

spk_0 What am I forgetting?

spk_0 I have my computer savvy hacking.

spk_0 Plus four.

spk_0 So that's eight more on top of 22.

spk_0 That's a 30.

spk_0 30.

spk_0 And then you would have...

spk_0 38.

spk_0 Yeah, that feels...

spk_0 So high.

spk_0 Yes.

spk_0 So full on like...

spk_0 This is unique.

spk_0 I know this.

spk_0 Like you connect your device to this system.

spk_0 And suddenly you can see...

spk_0 Thank you.

spk_0 You see...

spk_0 This is...

spk_0 There's no physical realm for a minute.

spk_0 You just exist in the digital space that will one day be cyberspace.

spk_0 Yes.

spk_0 And...

spk_0 I'm going to get it.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 It's a great idea for a movie.

spk_0 It's a great idea.

spk_0

spk_0 This is one more man.

spk_0 Straight up.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 You're harnessing like fire.

spk_0 You just dive into the system.

spk_0 You begin carving through all the...

spk_0 There's all sorts of hidden lock files here.

spk_0 You begin to see things that you can print out and expose here.

spk_0 You reveal one as you hit a button.

spk_0 There's a printer attached to it.

spk_0 And you print out two documents.

spk_0 That just kind of seemed like they're the most recently situated here under lock and key.

spk_0 One of them is this...

spk_0 This is a scan file.

spk_0 We're going to have to have these...

spk_0 Supernova DiceStriva, everything diced and everybody is now up for grabs.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 Alright, just the exact one.

spk_0 To the shareholders of the FRC channel, we are greatly appreciative for all your generosity and patience

spk_0 as we are sharing this new phase of our business and production strategy.

spk_0 We understand that it's taken more time and trust than many of you are anticipating,

spk_0 but I can assure you the results will more than assuage your concerns.

spk_0 The new wave of cultivated talent is already arriving and proving a boon to our customers.

spk_0 The production pipelines, the relac, the contractual negotiations, legal requirements regarding underage talent and ease of storage.

spk_0 I told you guys I knew it.

spk_0 The endless guidance and technological offerings of our beloved advisory leadership financiers has provided us not only the road map for this current phase,

spk_0 but an endless horizon of opportunity thereafter.

spk_0 I would ask you all to prepare adequate offerings for our universally amiable patrons over the coming weeks as we plan to unify our visions with them beneath the studio on the twelfth.

spk_0 Beyond their recent contributions, their council is helping us forward to a new path forward for the industry, a new way to capture the masses and ensure we craft their imaginations.

spk_0 Thank you again and may you all keep your overhead low.

spk_0 Your humble executive and its signed.

spk_0 You recognize that signature, Adam Pearson.

spk_0 Adam Pearson.

spk_0 That's Adam Pearson's signature.

spk_0 So he's trying to replace us.

spk_0 The other document that prints out on the opposite side here, you acquire.

spk_0 Univerously amiable patrons.

spk_0 Wait.

spk_0 UAP, you guys.

spk_0 Oh no.

spk_0 This is a list of people who have already been replaced.

spk_0 It's imminent or the proxy is gestating.

spk_0 Oh, she's a Joan Hart.

spk_0 Yeah, her listen to the heart.

spk_0 I knew she was spending.

spk_0 I knew she was.

spk_0 Casey.

spk_0 Ah.

spk_0 Proxy gestating.

spk_0 Oh, it's the stone.

spk_0 Karin Marie Thomas.

spk_0 Proxy gestating.

spk_0 Wait.

spk_0 Luke, Volushi.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 Volus gestation imminent.

spk_0 Well, that's what it says in here.

spk_0 That's what they were trying to do.

spk_0 Substitution imminent.

spk_0 That was Logan.

spk_0 Wait.

spk_0 Kurt Salmon.

spk_0 Substitution complete.

spk_0 Katnayt Dannel.

spk_0 Substitution complete.

spk_0 Seanic Higgin-Keys.

spk_0 Complete.

spk_0 Marnie Coke.

spk_0 Complete.

spk_0 Oh my god.

spk_0 Wait, it's like, did I even make this list?

spk_0 I'm just hearing you.

spk_0 The door slams from behind and you hear muffled and said,

spk_0 Oh no.

spk_0 The device is my listed Joan Hart.

spk_0 The entity that you had frozen in a brief time lock has come free

spk_0 and then I was slamming the outside of the door.

spk_0 This chamber you're in has no other visible exit.

spk_0 But as you continue to hack through,

spk_0 there are multitudes of other systems that this is attached to.

spk_0 You see, one, the various boxes that are in here,

spk_0 as you're going ahead and searching through the interior of this room,

spk_0 one, there it is.

spk_0 You find that there is within a lock box in here a red key card

spk_0 that is used to for access to what's called the visitor's hanger.

spk_0 You also note that all of these boxes that are locked in here contain

spk_0 incubating protectors to the hive.

spk_0 And as you glance over and look inside, there are small glass windows on these.

spk_0 And looking inside, there is the smaller, like, weird green gremlin-like ovums

spk_0 that are kind of pulsing and are being fed through some of these tubes.

spk_0 A wrong step in trying to maneuver any more of these things could either

spk_0 find more information within this chamber or help elsewhere.

spk_0 It could also open some of these chambers or these containers.

spk_0 You also see with your extremely high hacking role that one of the other rooms,

spk_0 the room that you first sent the copter to, is called the processing chamber.

spk_0 And that list of names there, everyone that is on that list is also within that chamber

spk_0 that has been already completed, which means you get the sense that everyone who's missing,

spk_0 there's something about the processing chamber that involves them.

spk_0 Is there anything in the room that can be used to block the door?

spk_0 Are you can try and move some of these containment boxes over in front of it?

spk_0 Does Jocelyn them in as a chance for failure?

spk_0 It's up to you.

spk_0 Okay, I have an idea.

spk_0 You could try and also, actually, because, sorry, there are a few things that are happening here

spk_0 because green donations in as well.

spk_0 So somewhere in a lock box in here is a red key card.

spk_0 You rolled high enough that you just unlock it.

spk_0 You press a button.

spk_0 That kind of pops out of one of the nearby things.

spk_0 And you now have, at your disposal, a red key card.

spk_0 Yes.

spk_0 Nice.

spk_0 You do know that this processing chamber has a similar list of the missing individuals.

spk_0 You also note that it is, can be unlocked remotely, but that would be another skill check.

spk_0 And the door that leads you anywhere backward is currently being slammed repeatedly.

spk_0 You also notice a VHS tape that sits slid underneath the desk that you've been hacking at.

spk_0 Because we hit 50k.

spk_0 50k!

spk_0 And Christine's Dice Set is now up.

spk_0 The CMYK7P's Dice Set by Dispel.

spk_0 Oh, getting both.

spk_0 Oh, yeah.

spk_0 The court.

spk_0 Oh, yeah.

spk_0 There is a mostly built over almost like high flesh grown over VHS machine that is part of this computer.

spk_0 But it does have a slot and a monitor that is embedded within where the VHS tape can be placed to them.

spk_0 We got to watch it.

spk_0 We got to.

spk_0 All right.

spk_0 There's like a strange, like, also like, slime covered, longish object that you have to pull the tape off of.

spk_0 That you kind of like pull away and it's kind of grotesque there for many, you see bits of metal kind of poking through.

spk_0 You slide it into the machine and this is what you see.

spk_0 It's your press player.

spk_0 After McIntory disappeared, I knew I had to look into this.

spk_0 Found Matthews' camcorder and the tape from them, which means they got McIntory along with all the others.

spk_0 I followed down into this futuristic hanger network until I ran into something invisible, something solid.

spk_0 But I couldn't see.

spk_0 Suddenly a bunch of alien looking monster things rushed into the room.

spk_0 I managed to run away.

spk_0 I mean, aliens just chillaxing under our studio?

spk_0 Part of me says I should be scared, but a bigger part of me is pissed.

spk_0 They're taking our friends.

spk_0 Our gigs.

spk_0 Hell no.

spk_0 I got my backpack filled with my mom's tazer and tools for my dad's shed.

spk_0 And I'm gonna bring this whole conspiracy down.

spk_0 Here, I swiped this from the alien hanger.

spk_0 Not sure how it works, but maybe you can figure it out.

spk_0 Now, time to kick some alien butt.

spk_0 Yes.

spk_0 As you kind of pull back, you look down at the odd, the thing that it was attached to.

spk_0 And the weird alien slime that only covered some of it, it looks like it's not part of what that device is.

spk_0 And you kind of like pull it back and clean it off.

spk_0 And it can be cleaned off.

spk_0 This is a metallic weapon of some kind.

spk_0 As you uncover, left behind by your friend, Melissa Jenhart, an alien disintegration rat.

spk_0 Yes!

spk_0 That's what we needed, you guys.

spk_0 Yes, that is what we needed.

spk_0 What was this John Arte?

spk_0 Shit.

spk_0 Yes, we're right.

spk_0 The door is starting to...

spk_0 Oh, great.

spk_0 It's kind of bow from the impacts of these other studies.

spk_0 You hear the behemoth.

spk_0 You want to use the ray?

spk_0 You have to use the ray.

spk_0 You got to use the ray.

spk_0 You open the door and I'll use the ray.

spk_0 What does the ray work on?

spk_0 I make a finesse or intellect roll against a target within a far range.

spk_0 So who's got the finesse or who's got the best finesse or intellect?

spk_0 It's a knowledge.

spk_0 Knowledge would be me.

spk_0 I have a plus three knowledge.

spk_0 Terrible.

spk_0 And on a success, the target takes four D20 energy damage.

spk_0 I have a plus three to finesse.

spk_0 It's going to be a high success rate, though.

spk_0 Either you two would be good for the choice.

spk_0 Lucas, do it.

spk_0 I think this is you.

spk_0 All right, you open the door with a key card.

spk_0 I'll open the door.

spk_0 Karen will support you.

spk_0 You know what?

spk_0 What if we do a tag team?

spk_0 Does it help?

spk_0 Tag team.

spk_0 I'm trying to use that again.

spk_0 Why is he smiling?

spk_0 You got two rerolls from the audience is giving you now.

spk_0 Hey, all right.

spk_0 You also have plus 10 total that you can add to things.

spk_0 I got some.

spk_0 Oh, we love you guys.

spk_0 Thank you.

spk_0 So nice.

spk_0 Also, you all gain a hope.

spk_0 And finding this tape and finding the sweat in it.

spk_0 There is a moment where you all look at each other.

spk_0 You all make eye contact and you're like, we can do this.

spk_0 And so with that hope moment, you get ready to the side of the door.

spk_0 You get your disintegration rifle at your side as you charge up and hit what you think is like.

spk_0 And then you get your head up and hit the other way to turn it on.

spk_0 The lights inside again turn on and it shakes and your presence your hair begins to stand up.

spk_0 And you just aim it towards the doors.

spk_0 You back up as far as you can because I can shoot from a long way away.

spk_0 And you get yourself ready.

spk_0 You're ready.

spk_0 Yeah, I'm going to do high anxiety on this.

spk_0 So that's going to mark a stress, gain a hope.

spk_0 Stacey's trapper keeper is up next.

spk_0 It could all be yours.

spk_0 All right, I can use a decent for the best cause here.

spk_0 Die.

spk_0 So D 20 fair die.

spk_0 Oh my god.

spk_0 All right, let's go.

spk_0 All right, ready?

spk_0 So this is a knowledge role or a finesse.

spk_0 I get to choose because this is finesse or intellect role.

spk_0 Oh, you got the little left.

spk_0 Yeah, that's like a very easy.

spk_0 Yeah, very easy.

spk_0 All right, yeah, because it says intellect.

spk_0 Does that mean knowledge role?

spk_0 So I was telling you how that being knowledge.

spk_0 All right, cool.

spk_0 So I'm doing a knowledge role.

spk_0 Come on, Luke.

spk_0 Let's go.

spk_0 Oh, 12.

spk_0 I want to be role 12 plus three.

spk_0 So 15.

spk_0 Three.

spk_0 I think we should be role.

spk_0 Yeah, we should wait.

spk_0 Should we add some?

spk_0 We got 10, 10 plus one.

spk_0 I think before the role, unfortunately.

spk_0 Oh shit.

spk_0 You want to rule?

spk_0 Three.

spk_0 Let's go.

spk_0 Come on, Luke.

spk_0 Let's go, Luke.

spk_0 Luke, guess.

spk_0 Uh, yeah, 25.

spk_0 Oh, yeah.

spk_0 25, 60, 50.

spk_0 So you hit edge of the door.

spk_0 It slams open.

spk_0 It comes looming and it bullspeak.

spk_0 You unleash this blast towards the entity.

spk_0 Go ahead and roll your damage for that.

spk_0 As they being so exited into the floor.

spk_0 Is that what it is?

spk_0 Yeah, 4d20.

spk_0 Oh, 40, 20.

spk_0 All right, so 20.

spk_0 Yes, 20, 15.

spk_0 35.

spk_0 35 plus 12 is.

spk_0 Damn, 25, 27.

spk_0 27.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 12 plus three.

spk_0 50.

spk_0

spk_0 That is more than double.

spk_0 It's severe threshold.

spk_0 So it takes four hit points.

spk_0 Woo!

spk_0 You blast a hole through its torso.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 It disintegrates and leaves this gaping wound in it.

spk_0 It falls to one knee and its arms kind of prop it up.

spk_0 It's now just like spilling out viscera from the inside.

spk_0 It's still up but it's very deeply hurt.

spk_0 I'm going to go ahead and take a fear to activate it immediately.

spk_0 It's going to mark another stress.

spk_0 Actually, no, I'm not going to mark the stress.

spk_0 It's going to rush towards you since you fired at it.

spk_0 It goes charging across the room.

spk_0 Sorry, I keep hitting the mic there, my apologies.

spk_0 I'm just going to rush and you see now in its tentacles that pull back

spk_0 and there are these massive tusks that protrude from the inside.

spk_0 And it's going to attempt to gore you as it goes towards you.

spk_0 That's going to be 13.

spk_0 I believe that hits you.

spk_0 Alright, so that's going to be 2d8 direct-dange.

spk_0 So you cannot use armor to reduce this.

spk_0 You take 11 points of damage that you cannot use armor to reduce.

spk_0 You're out.

spk_0 Oh my god.

spk_0 So here's so we come to your death move.

spk_0 You're not dead yet.

spk_0 You can either drop unconscious.

spk_0 You could blaze the glory which means you can make an action roll

spk_0 that's an automatic critical success and then you're done.

spk_0 You're out.

spk_0 Or you can risk it all.

spk_0 Roll your two dice.

spk_0 You're hoping your fear dice.

spk_0 If the hope is higher, you get back up and get to clear the number you rolled.

spk_0 If the fear dice is higher, your god.

spk_0 Choice is yours.

spk_0 Now this card, again, I have this card where I can spend two hope to clear a hit point

spk_0 or a stress on somebody.

spk_0 Indeed.

spk_0 So can I do that now?

spk_0 Well, he has the first two.

spk_0 But he has to do what he wants to do.

spk_0 Right, after he decides.

spk_0 Oh my god.

spk_0 Go on conscious, right?

spk_0 Go on conscious.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 I can survive.

spk_0 Yeah, I'm out.

spk_0 Lucas!

spk_0 Oh no.

spk_0 Lucas?

spk_0 He's unconscious.

spk_0 Lucas!

spk_0 Okay.

spk_0 Well, it gets the back wall and rag dolls down on the containment chambers.

spk_0 Someone do something.

spk_0 Well, now I think there was a podiatrist on the scene.

spk_0 Well, yes.

spk_0 So I'm going to spend two hope to clear either a hit point or a stress on Lucas.

spk_0 Look at his feet.

spk_0 Visage his feet.

spk_0 Bring a back light.

spk_0 Help his tiny feet.

spk_0 Come on Lucas.

spk_0 Come on.

spk_0 Come back to us again.

spk_0 She only knows one thing.

spk_0 Right?

spk_0 All right, so you are going to spend two hope to bring Lucas back.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 Okay.

spk_0 It's not mouth to mouth, but...

spk_0 Or his forehead.

spk_0 So you're shaking back to consciousness, bruised and hurt, but...

spk_0 It's there.

spk_0 You also hear behind me.

spk_0 Lucas, your back thing goes...

spk_0 Oh no.

spk_0 I'm going to spend another fear.

spk_0 And the creature is going to rush forward.

spk_0 I'm going to spend another fear.

spk_0 Next up!

spk_0 To do ramp up.

spk_0 We got wheels 1985.

spk_0 Crystal Ball dice set.

spk_0 Which is so fucking cool.

spk_0 You should absolutely bid on it, but don't because I want it.

spk_0 No, good on it.

spk_0 It's awesome.

spk_0 Gotta get it, gotta get it.

spk_0 I'm going to get points.

spk_0 Did I recover from that?

spk_0 Just one.

spk_0 The entity rushes forward and is going to go ahead and spend a fear to make a standard attack.

spk_0 It's all targets within its range, which is going to be the two of you.

spk_0 So it attacks both of you.

spk_0 Whoa.

spk_0 That's going to be a 12.

spk_0 I think it's the same way we'll last time.

spk_0 Okay, wait.

spk_0 I have something called...

spk_0 I am a punchline.

spk_0 I am the punchline?

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 I am the punchline.

spk_0 When an ally within close range is successfully attacked or suffers a consequence, I can mark

spk_0 a stress to have the attack or consequence instead of affecting me.

spk_0 Correct.

spk_0 So I'm going to be the punchline.

spk_0 Step in front of Lucas and just shut my eyes.

spk_0 Oh!

spk_0 That was so sweet!

spk_0 The straight man takes the hit.

spk_0 All right.

spk_0 So for that, both of you...

spk_0

spk_0 You mark a stress for that.

spk_0 Ooh!

spk_0 Sorry.

spk_0 That's 22 points of damage to each of you.

spk_0 Ooh.

spk_0 But you avoid the impact on this.

spk_0 That's 22 points, teacher.

spk_0 22 points?

spk_0 Oh, shit.

spk_0 You can use that armor to reduce it if you have it.

spk_0 I don't have it.

spk_0 Um...

spk_0 Okay, I'm going to be here.

spk_0 I'm going to be here.

spk_0 I have one armor per...

spk_0 Oh!

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 No, you're out.

spk_0 Yeah, I've been on it.

spk_0 One, two, three, but I have three armors.

spk_0 Oh, oh, yeah, yeah.

spk_0 So then I can come back to where I am or you can only spend one.

spk_0 You can only spend one.

spk_0 Oh.

spk_0 And then because I would be here, burr, burr, burr, burr.

spk_0 And then it would be under her last HP is out.

spk_0 And then is onto one that's not...

spk_0 And the next square that's not filled out.

spk_0 Oh, so you're marking all of your hit points are marked?

spk_0 All of the hit points are marked.

spk_0 So you are saved and you take the impact and you hold it and you're still conscious, Karin.

spk_0 Oh, I didn't know you were down that far.

spk_0 But it armor does what?

spk_0

spk_0 I have a Capri Sun.

spk_0 Which we can get to in a moment.

spk_0 I have a Capri Sun also.

spk_0 As Paloma, you after saving Lucas and watching Karin take the blow, that moment of hope hits you.

spk_0 And darkness.

spk_0 As you get to decide if you want to fall unconscious, if you want to risk it all or if you want to go out and a blaze of glory.

spk_0 Which would you prefer?

spk_0 I guess I would go unconscious.

spk_0 All right.

spk_0 But I'm still confused about this because if I do have plenty of armor, but if I only use one, I'm losing one.

spk_0 Why do I only have four armor?

spk_0 Right.

spk_0 And you can only use one per turn per threshold.

spk_0 Right.

spk_0 That's what I'm saying.

spk_0 So if I used one, that would bring me down just to there, which it would still be dead.

spk_0 Is that it?

spk_0 Still would be dead.

spk_0 So you don't have all of these.

spk_0 You just have what's marked in here.

spk_0 So those ones actually are not.

spk_0 Those are bull.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 I see.

spk_0 Those just are filled in when you move up levels.

spk_0 So the darkness takes you as you fall unconscious.

spk_0 You watch as this brute now nearly took out Lucas and has nearly taken out Paloma.

spk_0 You are starting to feel the wear and tear of this.

spk_0 What do you want to do?

spk_0 I want to pour the Capri Sun in our mouth.

spk_0 All right.

spk_0 I only have a Capri Sun.

spk_0 Now that I'm in the eye.

spk_0 But you're unconscious.

spk_0 Oh, you're doing it.

spk_0 Yep.

spk_0 So you rush up.

spk_0 Like a like a like a medic trying to get an epi.

spk_0 And then he's like, we're going to be pen on to somebody.

spk_0 We're going to pop that straw into it into Paloma's mouth.

spk_0 So I take it.

spk_0 You want to do a hit points.

spk_0 Go ahead and roll a D4 and add plus one to the result.

spk_0 Next up, we have the holographic purple dice tray from everything.

spk_0 Dice.

spk_0 Three.

spk_0 All right.

spk_0 So you heal four hit points.

spk_0 You get to clear.

spk_0 Oh, my goodness.

spk_0 Thank you.

spk_0 All right.

spk_0 I'm taking the A-ling disintegration.

spk_0 We're going to hit him again, right?

spk_0 Can you just keep using the A-ling?

spk_0 It says once fired, you must mark a stress to reload it before it can be fired.

spk_0 Right.

spk_0 So you can mark a stress to reload it.

spk_0

spk_0 Neither if you, you've did your action.

spk_0 You haven't gone really yet this round.

spk_0 Either you guys would like to do.

spk_0 Uh, uh, uh, can I use the time displacement device thing again to freeze it?

spk_0 Or no?

spk_0 If you want to, we'll hold it in place for another minute.

spk_0 I mean, I feel like that would, I mean, we gotta kill it though, right?

spk_0 Yeah, but feel like I do.

spk_0 I hold it for a minute and you lose it.

spk_0 You can't turn, right?

spk_0 Yeah, so look at Mark's distress.

spk_0 So it goes pretty quick as you like,

spk_0 loaded in.

spk_0 So if you want to try and lock it in place, let's go.

spk_0 I mean, say what if I lock it in place again?

spk_0 Yeah, and then you shoot and then you kill it.

spk_0 Right.

spk_0 All right.

spk_0 I'm going to use that and I'm going to spend a hope to, uh,

spk_0 roll presents against the target with equal, okay?

spk_0 Um, okay.

spk_0 So I roll my, please, right?

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 And I add two.

spk_0 Okay.

spk_0 Right.

spk_0 Five, six, seven, eight, nine.

spk_0 That's not very good.

spk_0 That's not good.

spk_0 That's not so good.

spk_0 You're all.

spk_0 Do we have another rule?

spk_0 We have another rule.

spk_0 No, let's say that.

spk_0 Wait, courage, when you failed to roll with fear,

spk_0 you gain a hope.

spk_0 Does that mean?

spk_0 Yeah, so, so you feel the role,

spk_0 but you gain a hope normally with you.

spk_0 So.

spk_0 Is that with fear?

spk_0 It was with fear yet.

spk_0 Yeah, so it's a failure with fear, but you do gain a hope from it.

spk_0 You go and try to get the device and it kind of like glitches out in your arm.

spk_0 You're like, oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

spk_0 Uh, however, the spotlight comes back to me.

spk_0 The beast turns around and looks at the rest of you.

spk_0 Looks at you having lunch forward to strike, to, to, to give the,

spk_0 the caprice under your friend.

spk_0 And it's going to go ahead and spend that fear to have it lunch forward

spk_0 and try and do another ramp up strike against all four of you.

spk_0 Since you're all clustered in that very close space,

spk_0 this attack is going to be at all four of you.

spk_0 That's going to be, that's a natural one.

spk_0 Yes, that, that is perfect in apropos.

spk_0 So that is an absolute miss.

spk_0 The entity goes and tries to swing, but it slides and slips on its own berserra

spk_0 that it's been spilling it.

spk_0 Like a banana peel in a cartoon.

spk_0 Oh my, lands on its back.

spk_0 And it is, it is prone and at your disposal.

spk_0 Spotlight comes back to you all.

spk_0 Would you like to do it?

spk_0 Shoot it.

spk_0 Okay.

spk_0 What do you want to do?

spk_0 You're saying?

spk_0 Yeah, take it out with a baseball bat.

spk_0 No, I got a lasso.

spk_0 It's great.

spk_0 What if, should I like, lasso it and then?

spk_0 Just shoot it.

spk_0 Shoot it.

spk_0 I'm just ready.

spk_0 Shoot it.

spk_0 I'm loaded.

spk_0 Shoot it.

spk_0 I'm the alien disintegration ray.

spk_0 Disintegration ray.

spk_0 This is for Paloma.

spk_0 Damn it.

spk_0 I hit it.

spk_0 Eight plus three.

spk_0 I'll say you have, you have advantage on it because it rolled the one and it fell on its back.

spk_0 You get to add a D6.

spk_0 That might be enough.

spk_0 We'll see.

spk_0 Anything for love.

spk_0 Eight plus three.

spk_0 So I'm doing it for love.

spk_0 Does that come for anything?

spk_0 It hits it right.

spk_0 So plus two more.

spk_0 What were you at?

spk_0 So it was 11.

spk_0 14.

spk_0

spk_0 13.

spk_0 13 unfortunately misses.

spk_0 Shoot.

spk_0 And it fires wide.

spk_0 Carves into the wall and like burns through a portion of the bunker.

spk_0 Roll a D6 for me by the way for each time you fire to see if I get any fear from this.

spk_0 Each time you fire.

spk_0 Two.

spk_0 Okay, roll one more time.

spk_0 I'm gonna five or six.

spk_0 I get a few.

spk_0 Six.

spk_0 Tell you how big that fear.

spk_0 Uh, and that was a, that role was with hope or fear.

spk_0 One the one that you attacked it with.

spk_0 Hope.

spk_0 Okay, so you take that hope.

spk_0 You blast wide.

spk_0 Stay C city pop.

spk_0 Just bell dice.

spk_0 We're out of strength.

spk_0 Stay C's dice.

spk_0 Stay C.

spk_0 Get him.

spk_0 He's I think or might.

spk_0 He's one of the other.

spk_0 I think the creature hits back up.

spk_0 And it's going to go ahead and spend a fear to angrily spin around just trying to strike all four of you again since you're all still clustered.

spk_0 That's going to be a 10.

spk_0 Oh, does 10 hit is he, but is he disadvantage because he's prone.

spk_0 Well, no, he's gotten up at this.

spk_0 Okay, so he gets back up.

spk_0 I'll try.

spk_0 I know good, good, good, call it now.

spk_0 So this 10 hit.

spk_0 It's me.

spk_0 It's you.

spk_0 I'm at 10.

spk_0 So that hits you.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 It's you.

spk_0 12.

spk_0 So it misses you.

spk_0 The rest of you take.

spk_0 Oh, no.

spk_0 Oh, my God.

spk_0 That's double ones.

spk_0 So you take five points of damage.

spk_0 Okay.

spk_0 So you don't get crit on a.

spk_0 Oh, I get crit.

spk_0 It's a natural 20.

spk_0 Got you.

spk_0

spk_0 Okay.

spk_0 So yeah, so that's four points of damage.

spk_0 Five points damage.

spk_0 Sorry to everyone.

spk_0 I can do the three of you right there.

spk_0 Well, so you could erase one of these.

spk_0 Spend one of those and then you wouldn't have to.

spk_0 Spotlights back to your side.

spk_0 I'm out.

spk_0 Can I please use my last one?

spk_0 Grab it again.

spk_0 Oh, I want to rock it one time too.

spk_0 So if you want to go first, but I want to I want to chuck a big old rock at it too.

spk_0 Did we try that?

spk_0 No, that was the other one.

spk_0 The alien did well.

spk_0 Good for my rocks, bro.

spk_0 I'm taking a rock chuck at it.

spk_0 Well, she wants to do her last.

spk_0 So first, I think.

spk_0 All right.

spk_0 Do you want to like are you are using your lasso to to damage or hold it in place?

spk_0 I'm going to use my last so to strangle it.

spk_0 Okay.

spk_0 Go ahead and make a roll.

spk_0 Yes.

spk_0 Strangle it.

spk_0 30.

spk_0 No.

spk_0 Oh.

spk_0 That'll hit.

spk_0 Okay.

spk_0 Let's go ahead and roll.

spk_0 40.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 You're the kind.

spk_0 Right.

spk_0 Wait.

spk_0 Was that that 20, baby?

spk_0 Yeah, baby.

spk_0 Damn.

spk_0 What can I say?

spk_0 That's crazy.

spk_0 All right.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 That'll do.

spk_0 Come on.

spk_0 Take it back.

spk_0 That's the power of this purity complex.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 That is true.

spk_0 That's why is this correct?

spk_0 That's correct.

spk_0 I don't.

spk_0 Why am I doing that?

spk_0 I don't ask you.

spk_0 I don't ask the person to do that.

spk_0 17 has this major threshold that marks two hit points.

spk_0 Yes.

spk_0 Which is on the head left.

spk_0 How do you want to do that?

spk_0 Yes.

spk_0 So using this last row.

spk_0 And we'll say like you getting ready to throw this rock.

spk_0 How do the two of you like?

spk_0 Team up in this instance will say just narratively

spk_0 to finish off the behemoth.

spk_0 OK.

spk_0 So I take the last row out of my baby backpack.

spk_0 I unwined it.

spk_0 I wrap it around my head.

spk_0 One.

spk_0 Two.

spk_0 Three times.

spk_0 I grab it.

spk_0 It wraps around its neck.

spk_0 It starts to strangle itself.

spk_0 All of a sudden, black goo.

spk_0 Ooses from its mouth.

spk_0 All down its center.

spk_0 And just at that moment, I look at you.

spk_0 Go.

spk_0 Rock and roll, bitch.

spk_0 It kind of looks up.

spk_0 It goes into its mouth like cave troll style.

spk_0 Yes.

spk_0

spk_0 And slams on the ground no longer moving.

spk_0 Woo.

spk_0 Yay.

spk_0 All right.

spk_0 And Max Trapper keeper is up next,

spk_0 including the character sheet.

spk_0 All the shit.

spk_0 You're going to want it.

spk_0 Go get it.

spk_0 It's got all my game notes in it.

spk_0 And I was going to note from the game too.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 I might bid on that.

spk_0 All right.

spk_0 Oh.

spk_0 It's exciting.

spk_0 It's going to be fun.

spk_0 All right.

spk_0 So currently, the claxons are still going off.

spk_0 Go get it.

spk_0 Karin's unconscious.

spk_0 Now, I have a Capri Sun.

spk_0 Can I use that on her?

spk_0 You can't if you want to.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 I was going to say, you see my,

spk_0 but I can go over there and slam a slim gem in your mouth.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 A slim gem.

spk_0 I can slam jam.

spk_0 I mean, I've only got one hit point left.

spk_0 You do.

spk_0 I know.

spk_0 I'm both in the run.

spk_0 So I can I get, I'll give somebody a slam jam.

spk_0 Can we all have some gummy bears?

spk_0 We can all have a little something.

spk_0 The gummy bears will help us for stress,

spk_0 but we've done.

spk_0 I got a slam jam, which is,

spk_0 which is hit points.

spk_0 So I'm just a Capri Sun.

spk_0 So we have some extra Capri.

spk_0 So I could use a, I could use a,

spk_0 I could use a clearer hit point.

spk_0 Probably we're not sponsored by Capri Sun.

spk_0 I'm just putting it in.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 I'm just going to slam jam.

spk_0 Or slam jam.

spk_0 Four plus one hit points or clearer.

spk_0 Okay.

spk_0 So I would do hit points.

spk_0 Lucas, you need this.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 I'm going to eat the slim.

spk_0 Alright.

spk_0 So I'm going to do, let's do the cream.

spk_0 I'm going to use the Capri Sun.

spk_0 I'm going to do the cream.

spk_0 I'm going to use the Capri Sun.

spk_0 One.

spk_0 The audience did allow everyone.

spk_0 Two more of you can add a plus two permanently to experiences.

spk_0 You can just add one to yourselves.

spk_0 I did last time.

spk_0 And you do find an additional healing item in the space.

spk_0 No.

spk_0 We'll say it's damaging through.

spk_0 You'll be able to see your pockets and find an additional slam jam.

spk_0 Oh, yeah.

spk_0 You always keep an extra slam jam.

spk_0 You got to have a slam jam.

spk_0 Okay.

spk_0 You used a Capri Sun.

spk_0 Alright.

spk_0 You used that.

spk_0 So we still have this one.

spk_0 Still around.

spk_0 What happens to this?

spk_0 That's huge.

spk_0 It's dead.

spk_0 You used that.

spk_0 You all also gain one hope as the audience has donated to this as you get your final push of your endeavor.

spk_0 The claxons are still going off.

spk_0 You catch your breath for a second.

spk_0 You steal yourselves.

spk_0 And you know that likely based on the information that last VHS and what you have.

spk_0 The the culprit behind the majority of this power, this intent, this dangerous encroaching takeover lies within that hanger.

spk_0 The one that is the hallway you have yet to take.

spk_0 We got to do it.

spk_0 Let's go.

spk_0 Where we go one, we go all.

spk_0 That's it.

spk_0 Oh, perfect.

spk_0 This is my wish.

spk_0 My dream.

spk_0 Take it.

spk_0 Take it back.

spk_0 Take it all back.

spk_0 Stealing yourselves.

spk_0 You gather your things.

spk_0 It begin to march back down the central hallway to the center where the collapsed inner portion of the containment unit for the behemoth is left open.

spk_0 You go what would now be from your perspective, the left hand hallway, the one not taken.

spk_0 It's a direct path to the double, the largest set of double metal hanger doors you've seen.

spk_0 On each of these doors, there is a red key card marker.

spk_0 Yes.

spk_0 Who has the red key?

spk_0 That's us.

spk_0 Well, you got the red key.

spk_0 I got the red key.

spk_0 Let's do it.

spk_0 Which one do we got?

spk_0 You got a charge.

spk_0 You got the ray gun charged.

spk_0 Oh, God.

spk_0 I'm going to use a stress.

spk_0 And you already want to give it to somebody else who doesn't have any stress.

spk_0 Oh, that's okay.

spk_0 I got two.

spk_0 I literally only have one stress.

spk_0

spk_0 I only have two stress.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 All right.

spk_0 Then you somebody else take it.

spk_0 I'm not so great.

spk_0 Give me the ray gun.

spk_0 All right.

spk_0 We did giant ray gun.

spk_0 I'm going to take that.

spk_0 There we go.

spk_0 So I think you're stressed and charge it up.

spk_0 All right.

spk_0 Fuck yeah.

spk_0 It's out.

spk_0 All right.

spk_0 So there are two different doors or is it one door that?

spk_0 It is a double door.

spk_0 It has a red key card lock on it.

spk_0 All right.

spk_0 Did we, have we eaten everything we can eat?

spk_0 Have we gotten, we're all prepped?

spk_0 Ready for this?

spk_0 I think so.

spk_0 I have two clearly Canadians in my pockets.

spk_0 What anybody like?

spk_0 I'm going to pass that to some clearly Canadian.

spk_0 Thank you.

spk_0 Oh, my favorite.

spk_0 My favorite.

spk_0 Yes.

spk_0 The boys are very.

spk_0 Love the boys.

spk_0 Very good.

spk_0 All right.

spk_0 So as you swipe the card, the doors shift open and lead you into this darkened hallway.

spk_0 Glancing around with a light here shifts into this kind of sickly dark green color.

spk_0 Oh, it's so unflattering.

spk_0 Where's the DB?

spk_0 No one looks good in here.

spk_0

spk_0 No one looks good in here.

spk_0 This is a massive, mostly empty hanger.

spk_0 Just an open space in the center.

spk_0 You see, the edges are flanked with these strange mirror polished boxes, about seven foot by four foot,

spk_0 with black cloth straped over them.

spk_0 You see, strange blights blink on top of each of them that just barely glow through the material that's covering them,

spk_0 as well as a multitude of striated cables that all come together to disappear into a three foot wide, three to five foot hole in the center of the hanger chamber.

spk_0 You can see nothing else really within the chamber at a glance.

spk_0 If somebody wants to try and inspect the room, as you step in to see if you pick up any strange environments,

spk_0 this would be an instinct.

spk_0 Yeah, let's check it out.

spk_0 All right.

spk_0 We'd like to try and search the room, make an instinct roll.

spk_0 I have a plus two instinct.

spk_0 She's plus three.

spk_0 She's plus three instinct.

spk_0 One try it out.

spk_0 Check the room.

spk_0 Go for it.

spk_0 Okay.

spk_0

spk_0 Nice.

spk_0 Oh, crit.

spk_0 Two twelfth.

spk_0

spk_0 That'll do it.

spk_0 Tegina, hold your spades.

spk_0 Take her biggest.

spk_0 Doesn't matter.

spk_0 Curve, mappies, success.

spk_0 Yes.

spk_0 So, take a hope. Clear stress.

spk_0

spk_0 And this is a massive success.

spk_0 As you all are entering this chamber quietly, the clack sends getting quieter in the distance as the doors close behind you,

spk_0 and you hear the chubble lock.

spk_0 Lancing around this open empty space.

spk_0 The dull light's blinking.

spk_0 You see a small figure that's barely visibly hiding around one of these boxes

spk_0 and the far left hand side of the chamber.

spk_0 It looks like the outside of a black business suit.

spk_0 Kind of just curled out of sight.

spk_0 There's a lot of mirrors there.

spk_0 What do you do?

spk_0 Mission easy.

spk_0 Someone get ready to shoot that asshole.

spk_0 Yes.

spk_0 I'm all set.

spk_0 I got him right here.

spk_0 Okay.

spk_0 So, you kind of enter the chamber to try and approach him?

spk_0 No, I'm still keeping my distance.

spk_0 But, uh, I mean, we should call out to him at this point, right?

spk_0 But he knows where they are, right?

spk_0 See?

spk_0 I would imagine.

spk_0 But should we surprise him?

spk_0 Do that?

spk_0 I can sneak up to him.

spk_0 I've got ninja stars.

spk_0 What?

spk_0 But you've got that regan.

spk_0 Cool.

spk_0 Yeah, I got the regan on him right now.

spk_0 I need to start.

spk_0 There's so cool.

spk_0 I mean, I could strangle him with my stethoscope, but compared to the regan,

spk_0 it's not that great.

spk_0 But, I mean, do we just, do we want to talk to him?

spk_0 Do we want to figure anything out?

spk_0 Or do we just want to come in and go on blazing?

spk_0 Yeah, but we've got to find our friends.

spk_0 What happened to Lisa?

spk_0 Yeah, Lisa.

spk_0 Where's Matt?

spk_0 We used the regan to take him hostage and we march him down to that room and make him reveal,

spk_0 you know, free the people, free Lisa Lowe.

spk_0 And, and, and,

spk_0 don't worry.

spk_0 Yeah, we got to free the people in the chamber.

spk_0 All right.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 Okay.

spk_0 So what happened?

spk_0 He's caught on.

spk_0

spk_0 Children?

spk_0 You see the kind of like shift back and kind of get purely out of sight now that he feels like he's been

spk_0 seeing you.

spk_0 You see the boys go?

spk_0 You're cleverer than we expected.

spk_0 No, we're not free.

spk_0 I appreciate your,

spk_0 appreciate you are clearly.

spk_0 Capriciousness, Capriciousness.

spk_0 Yeah, yeah.

spk_0 For more clever than your predecessors.

spk_0 And I, I admire the heart you have.

spk_0 I think the data we've gathered from it will be extremely important to your replacements.

spk_0 How dare you damn you,

spk_0 Pearson?

spk_0 And, don't call us children.

spk_0 We have adult jobs and adult responsibilities.

spk_0 Yeah, we have a job.

spk_0 And we emancipated.

spk_0 Currently, I'm an adult.

spk_0 So don't call us children, sir.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 We're going to take you down, but I also have a film I'd like to pitch to you later because it's a really good idea.

spk_0 Hey, focus, please.

spk_0 Sorry.

spk_0 Well, you've come this far.

spk_0 I didn't kind of steps out from behind the box now and you see like he kind of emerges his hands at the ready.

spk_0 It kind of looks like you haven't.

spk_0 I'm genuinely, he looks kind of taken it back by.

spk_0 And goes very well.

spk_0 I see we have ourselves a bit of an impasse and he reveals his left hand.

spk_0 There's like a smaller version of it almost like a laser pistol that he contains with the same kind of audio and technology.

spk_0 Might's bigger.

spk_0 Anyway.

spk_0 And he looks the shame washes over him briefly.

spk_0 It would be unfair for us not to have a conversation.

spk_0 And before the end really let you understand the changing of the guard, the changing of the times.

spk_0 This is the end of an age in the beginning of a new one.

spk_0 You see, for so long, us top end executives and creatives have been at the the whim of the audience, the whim of the investor.

spk_0 But what if we could control that and what if we could do it at a fraction of the price?

spk_0 You're such a cheap skate. You always have been.

spk_0 Just business.

spk_0 But I'd like to introduce you to our new partners and our future business initiatives.

spk_0 I figure it's time and as you kind of notions, the center's open space middle of the hanger suddenly begins to shimmer.

spk_0 This kind of rippling effect of the air itself seeming to shake.

spk_0 Like that something is decloaking in the center as static begins to build up into your minds.

spk_0 And as the static gets very louder the point where you're almost instinctually go to cover your ears and voice this,

spk_0 in the center of it. And now the cloak dispels and there you see this smooth polished disc-like vehicle.

spk_0 A hundred or so feet from end to end has been sitting in the middle of this hanger the entire time as a door unlatches and lowers.

spk_0 So you A.P.?

spk_0 It can go either way. Really it's more of a semantics thing.

spk_0 Anyway, meet my new partner.

spk_0 And as the mist emerges from outside of this disc, you see floating.

spk_0 An entity of similar color and texture as the behemoth you had just defeated.

spk_0 Only thinner, lankier, and floating above the air.

spk_0 Its head crest is long and comes into curled horns.

spk_0 Where once there was that central behemoth eye you see there are three affixed across its face.

spk_0 No discernible features beyond three dull tendrils like a dangled down and jellyfish length beneath its jaw as its hands just open here.

spk_0 And you hear in your mind once more.

spk_0 Very when I drink you, boy, your future.

spk_0 However, your true needs here, we have what we need.

spk_0 As it expands its hands, you all feel this terrible sense of dread begin to wash over this chamber.

spk_0 I'm going to go ahead and gain two fear that I received from the audience.

spk_0 Thank you. I'm going to activate the alien mastermind.

spk_0 How dare you all. How dare you ever die in here?

spk_0 This is for charity.

spk_0 I'm going to spend two feel the child actors.

spk_0 Do you summon cyborg?

spk_0 At which point it glances over and lifts its hand.

spk_0 One of the lights blinks on the cylinder and the cloth pulls back as the cylinder opens,

spk_0 missed, emerges and fills the space and you see a figure watch step out from inside in a familiar catcher's mask.

spk_0 It looks like a mostly cooked version of you.

spk_0 As a Casey cyborg clone emerges, not fully finished, like you forced their hand to reveal things a little early.

spk_0 And it's just a little off, a little lopsided.

spk_0 But you see that same kind of reddish glow sparking in his eyes as to the cyborg logo you had battled before.

spk_0 As it immediately slunches towards you in an impossible speed.

spk_0 As it rushes in, it's going to attempt to grab and crush you.

spk_0 Get a mark of stress.

spk_0 Oh, that's going to, it's only going to be a five.

spk_0 Yes. You just duck out of the way as you pull up.

spk_0 You're now face to face with an awful nightmare mirror version of yourself that just mouth half way a gape.

spk_0 It's eyes kind of milky white with a red glow in them.

spk_0 With that, I'm going to spend another fear to activate Adam Pearson.

spk_0 Oh, he now goes like, sorry, it's just business.

spk_0 You know how to scaffold is my and it's going to go ahead and run behind one of the one of the unopened crates.

spk_0 And you get the sense now that all these cylinders contain number of gestating cyborg clones.

spk_0 Adam Pearson pulls behind with this laser gun and points it at you and it's going to go ahead and fire at you.

spk_0 Now, he has baseless executive opinions.

spk_0 Is it's passive when attacking you? Your evasion is halved.

spk_0 Oh, that's going to be a 12 to hit you.

spk_0 Yeah, so my base is 11.

spk_0 Correct.

spk_0 You take eight points of energy damage.

spk_0 So can I use armor?

spk_0 You can.

spk_0 Great.

spk_0 Wait, who's attacking him?

spk_0 Adam Pearson.

spk_0 That concludes my spotlight.

spk_0 It's back to you.

spk_0 Question.

spk_0 Yes.

spk_0 Looking around the room.

spk_0 Is there some kind of central thing that's obviously operating all of the clones?

spk_0 You get, I mean, all the clones are, are like the devices that they're coming from are attached to these cables in the center.

spk_0 They go down into the hole.

spk_0 Um, cables that look similar to the ones that were connected to the pewter that were there earlier.

spk_0 Do I know what they mean?

spk_0 Or you're not entirely certain, like some of the text and things that you were acquiring in the system,

spk_0 you could find, but you could understand the language that they were written in,

spk_0 some of the alien language that come through.

spk_0 You think there could be a way to maybe disable them,

spk_0 but you have to go back to the computer to do so, which is possible.

spk_0 If you wanted to attempt that,

spk_0 it could come to your advantage if you make it in time.

spk_0 However, this floating mastermind also appears to be having some sort of psychic control over these devices as well.

spk_0 So you gather those are the two options trying to sample this.

spk_0 I think I should turn on just shoot at the main mastermind right off the bat, right?

spk_0 Go for it.

spk_0 I mean, yeah, yeah, I'm going to alien disintegrate Ray, the main bad dude.

spk_0 Go for it.

spk_0 Yeah.

spk_0 I'm going to go ahead and give you a minus six on this roll.

spk_0 Oh!

spk_0 Well, I'm going to go ahead and give myself a plus eight.

spk_0 See?

spk_0 Not yet.

spk_0 You're going to have to get it.

spk_0 Yeah, Ray has been.

spk_0 You want to balance that out, taking it a plus two?

spk_0 Let's go.

spk_0 Let's see.

spk_0 All right, so.

spk_0 How many extra points do we have right now?

spk_0 Right now it looks like you have after that.

spk_0 Four.

spk_0 OK.

spk_0

spk_0 Yeah, agreed.

spk_0 All right, so wait, it's a plus two from what you added to it plus your.

spk_0 So plus two then minus six.

spk_0 So wait, what are we doing? Well, sorry you said you added eight to it. Oh, I was just making that I'm am I allowed to do that

spk_0 Yeah, oh no, I was oh, okay, I thought you're being serious

spk_0 Okay, good so let's do that

spk_0 Can't see oh please let that up you know this have it no, it's an eight with fear

spk_0 So 10 10 that's what can we reroll?

spk_0 Really how many roles do we have one reroll that came to the audience?

spk_0 I think you know it's up to you might as well

spk_0 Come on crit come on come on come on come on come on on crit

spk_0 Oh, that's much better 20 so 22 plus 2 so 24 okay, or we'll hit

spk_0 An enroll damage on that and so it's it's what it's 4d 20 or d20

spk_0 Yes

spk_0 Come on big numbers big numbers. What is the I don't even know what that is is that a 20 no, it's a one. Oh, okay

spk_0 Standing

spk_0 12 12 total oh my god damn you 15 15

spk_0 All right 15 and 14 so great so 29 that does cross it severe threshold says three hit points on the mastermind

spk_0 Oh wait, and then I'm also going to add insult to injury is that with hope or fear by the way that was with fear

spk_0 but I'm gonna add

spk_0 insult to injury and

spk_0 I can make a sarcastic remark then you have to

spk_0 Mark your stress you got it was what sarcastic remarked you make as you fired this beam into the mastermind I say

spk_0 God even though hey hey ass face

spk_0 Yeah, this one's for Lisa loam

spk_0 You blast into it's like

spk_0 Draws back you see it puts like a psychic field to try and protect itself

spk_0 But it just carbs through it and slams into it as it kind of damages and burns away part of his torso

spk_0 So you can

spk_0 You know all of your minds you hear it matters not I will have this world

spk_0 Today we begin with Thursday night content

spk_0 Domination in Adams like it's a big jump

spk_0 And the contract we talked about we negotiated this and he kind of like

spk_0 Of course of course, I mean I'll take on I can get

spk_0 Reloads his laser pistol

spk_0 But that was with fear yeah, so this spotlight comes back to me. I'm also gonna add a stress to instantly

spk_0 Recock the gun got it go for it. All right that now brings us to the mastermind mastermind can be spotlight twice per gym turn

spk_0 but so first it's gonna go ahead and

spk_0 Let's see

spk_0 So who somebody roll fear earlier or failed with fear. I don't think so I forgot about that all right. So first off countdown

spk_0 I'm gonna go ahead and put this so when the mastermind is spotlighted for the first time it should have before it would have been

spk_0 It's called a countdown of four on it. So as roles happen is will count down and something is happening

spk_0 You feel like the psychic energy is brimming within its mind and the pressure in your consciousness is pushing harder and harder and harder

spk_0 We know so that means

spk_0 So that was roll with fear stuff would count down

spk_0 to

spk_0 What was I sorry kind of one so as now kind of three it will

spk_0 Use its arms sides against you as it goes towards it and you watch this from its body

spk_0 What you thought was just like part of its rib cage disengage and additional arms that are like almost as like a floating spider feel and

spk_0 Carbs into you with its bleeding arms for a 10 11 11 day. It just misses you

spk_0 That's awesome. I'm gonna spend the fear to activate it again because I can do that perfect

spk_0 And you know what it's three tentacles are going to spread out and strike towards you and try and pierce into your body

spk_0 This one is going to be that's better. That's gonna be a 16 to hit. That's it. All right. So you on this one take

spk_0 16 points of energy damage

spk_0 As it so I can bring it down to so wait if it goes down if I bring it down one five one armor left

spk_0 It good thing well first it hits you and you mark an armor slot because of its tentacles

spk_0 Which removes your ability to use armor and I can't use mar and that's that's it then

spk_0 So that no that's my last armor. Yeah, so you just go take full damage on this one

spk_0 But I want to do not in the face sure you could spend spend a stress to reduce that by one so then reduce it by one so then it goes down to

spk_0 Is it on your it's between 11 and yeah 11 and 22 so that would just be one hit point so be just one. Oh my god

spk_0 Alrighty from there. I'm gonna go ahead and

spk_0 Activate

spk_0 The cyborg clone again, which is gonna continue to pummel towards you

spk_0 It's gonna go ahead and

spk_0 Marcus dress it's

spk_0 Secondary stress to try and grab and crush you

spk_0 Ooh natural 17. It's gonna mean 18 to hit you. Okay, you take at the impact of that

spk_0 Nine points of damage as it grabs you by the throat and lifts you up in the air means

spk_0 Trying to crush your windpipe in your own grasp your vision big briefly begins to tunnel as you see like the weird nightmare version of yourself kind of almost

spk_0 enjoying

spk_0 Trying to snuff the life from your fleshy form

spk_0 Can I can I mock this person and help her out? I have you want to yeah

spk_0 Thank you embarrass this target

spk_0 Let's you thank you. I'm allergic to this guy. We said nine, but it would be a minus two penalty to their difficulty

spk_0 Oh, this is to the clone or the mastermind

spk_0 The clone the clone so a average is a difficulty to 10 the clone is easier to hit now much easier to hit with anything

spk_0 That's awesome. That's gonna finish my activation. It comes back to you all I

spk_0 Think I should run back to the computer

spk_0 Get additional fear

spk_0 I don't know I mean

spk_0 I mean I mean I'm we can just stand and fight or I can try and disable yeah, you can pick off

spk_0 Yeah, you should leave indisabled see if I can figure that out and yeah, cuz we I mean it's only the dead guy back there right?

spk_0 There's nothing but after us. Yeah, so cut all the wires. All right. Yeah, I'm gonna take the red key card and

spk_0 And and just book it for the the old computer office. So I love you Lucas

spk_0 Lucas

spk_0 You guys

spk_0 All right, I'm filled with hope so as you rush off

spk_0 Having your stuff and charging on you the hallway you run down that way

spk_0 Going for a full run making agility roll to see if you can cover the distance before the end of your turn

spk_0 That's 12 12 okay, that that that's a success to get there was it with hope or fear

spk_0 I hope hope great take a hope so you've rush over you get into the chamber and you look and you can see

spk_0 The computer there

spk_0 You can say if you want to go ahead and try and start hacking into it now

spk_0 We can go ahead and jump over to them in a second

spk_0 But you can go ahead and begin your initial descent into the system again. Yeah, all right

spk_0 So go ahead and make a knowledge roll for me as you rush over the system

spk_0 Begin to kind of find out where this is connected. I get a plus five with my computer savvy hacking

spk_0 I'm hoping to do that and

spk_0 Can you have more hope than is on the sheet or if it's full if it's full. It's full. Oh, okay

spk_0 So I spend a hope spend a hope get my experience bonus

spk_0 And I got an 11 plus three so 14 plus five

spk_0 That is four to five that's 19 19. Are you happy with that?

spk_0 I mean I can't we don't have any re-rolls left. Yeah, that's not bad. Oh, yeah, okay

spk_0 So 19 you're starting in the system you're getting closer to the path of where this might be

spk_0 You're not immediately finding it, but you know you're on the path

spk_0 It'll take you a little longer to access those files and try and manipulate them

spk_0 So we'll come back to you in a minute and attempt to get further into the system

spk_0 You're not locked out of it. Yeah, and you're not quite there, but you're you're in the process

spk_0 Coming back to you all in the spotlight currently at the moment since it was with hope what would you like to do as the master?

spk_0 My name here's center still there

spk_0 I'm gonna mock I'm gonna mock this this cyborg

spk_0 Yeah, so you so how do you mock the cyborg?

spk_0 Well, well one of you get some kind of battle armor ready

spk_0 I look at the cyborg

spk_0 Hey

spk_0 Buddy

spk_0 Rose is a red violets are blue. I thought Shrek was ugly until I met you

spk_0 The cyborg kind of like that's it child's book a child's book

spk_0 I have not child's book and it's against a freak out for a second and indeed it feels like it's been fairly mocked

spk_0 It doesn't like be compared to a child's book that will eventually become a CGI film

spk_0 I remember it was published by now, but yeah, it's fine. We'll go with it

spk_0 Hopefully lovely

spk_0 Indeed and so it is distracted you can continue forward if you want to try and take a crack at it

spk_0 If any of you want to try and do anything else that go after the mastermind or minus two penalty to the difficulty

spk_0 Correct. Does anyone want to do like a triple team a double team?

spk_0 She can do the second fence of hope for cheaper and she has a gun still I

spk_0 Do that's right and then we could double double attack any tag team role

spk_0 You're a part of can be initiated for only two hope and whenever you help an ally you add one the eight to the result

spk_0 Okay, so I will spend two hope then and

spk_0 I'm gonna because it's my my best weapon. I'm gonna hit it with my trapper keeper. Let's go

spk_0 Yes, did a good job lesson did a good job last time you going to the cyborg

spk_0 We always attempt to take the credit. Yeah, cuz we have cyborg and we have mastermind and Adam Pearson. Those are the three targets currently

spk_0 You do take a stress by the way if we do this I take a stress. Okay. That's okay

spk_0 Takes a little credit. Yes

spk_0 Shoot, who do we want to hit?

spk_0 Pearson doesn't scare me as much as the other two. Yeah, okay. Yeah, cuz he kind of seems like he's

spk_0 He's not the mastermind

spk_0 deferring to the mastermind because if he's deferring to mastermind, yeah, let's go mastermind. Yeah, let's go mastermind. Okay, so

spk_0 Let's see if it hits

spk_0 One D8

spk_0 That's this guy

spk_0 On okay, and then I'm adding eight

spk_0 All right

spk_0 Five okay

spk_0 Okay

spk_0 23 right right?

spk_0 Three total 23 total. Okay, so I have 20 total with hope of fear I was fear and you have a 23 with hope of fear?

spk_0 No, I added five. We had five. Oh, it's right. Yeah, so that would be 23 all together. All right

spk_0 No, 25. Yeah, 25 altogether

spk_0 Success with fear great great. Okay, all right, so

spk_0 Now we roll damage indeed so

spk_0 There's a negative two penalty

spk_0 For him for him

spk_0 This is a mastermind so that the the cyborg has the minus two

spk_0 So if you guys are tag teaming you decide what you were doing as part of the tag team to combine so if you want to attack as well

spk_0 You can combine your damage

spk_0 We can combine the damage

spk_0 So like if you want to distract if you want to just death scope or if you want it we can oh I see I see

spk_0 Strangle with your status

spk_0 So if you're going I do so my gun shoot it

spk_0 Five things coming to any fire

spk_0 I don't want to yeah, let's go for it. All right, so so to that case

spk_0 Go ahead and do roll an attack roll see which of those two you want to use so either that has fear and

spk_0 So go ahead and roll for your finesse

spk_0 So shoot it. Yeah, they just roll roll your two dice and then add your finesse bonus

spk_0 Just in case you roll a crit or roll higher to yeah, you're two twelfths

spk_0 Which is there's one

spk_0 No, you could do these two

spk_0 Okay 11 plus finesse which is two yeah, so

spk_0 Okay, so you probably take your role now. Okay, we'll take mine. All right, so you both roll with fear

spk_0 Okay, does it give me an additional fear?

spk_0 Well

spk_0 Right, but what the number wasn't this huh?

spk_0 So it depends on which we're for to take the lower number

spk_0 Yeah, you per take the lower number that is hope or the higher number that's fear. That's up to you guys

spk_0 We'll take the higher number that's fear. Okay. Yeah, so I take the additional fear. Okay, that does succeed though

spk_0 So you both can roll damage and combine those together. So mine is 19. What will your damage end up being?

spk_0 I don't feel the two teeth you'll do two d6 plus four or you can do your secondary which is 2d8

spk_0 Right

spk_0 Yeah, we do you wish them out the gun. Oh, you're using the gun. Yes. Yes. Yes. 2d6 plus okay great all right, let's go

spk_0 Great eight plus four twelve well, so 12 plus 19. Yeah. Oh, that's great

spk_0 Yeah, that'll be three more hit points damage on it as it crosses its major threshold

spk_0 Slam out with the trap. I keep her knocking it up into the air right as you aim and fire the bullet ribs through it because you rolled with fear

spk_0 You both Marcus dress

spk_0 From its resistance is futile reaction

spk_0 So whenever a PC rolls against it with fear you Marcus dress and all other PCs are then close range lose a hope so

spk_0 The three of you lose a hope

spk_0 Yeah, all three of you do

spk_0 Also

spk_0 Because you both will fear that takes this down the timer goes to zero the psychic vortex triggers

spk_0 So now

spk_0 That static that you've been feeling since you arrive gets louder and louder and suddenly you feel like the air in the

spk_0 Wind me to pick up in this message swirl the creature kind of curls into itself and

spk_0 So this high pitch screeching psychic beam of a blast that carbs through your minds

spk_0 All of you except for you because you're out of the chamber

spk_0 Take another stress. So you're not in the stress and you all lose another hope

spk_0 If any of you are out of hope let me know what if you're out of stress

spk_0 I'm out of hope okay if you're out of stress you mark out of stress you are vulnerable

spk_0 That means all attacks against you are at advantage and if you take any more stress you take the hit point instead

spk_0 That's right. Okay. Can I eat some gummy bears?

spk_0 Uh on your on your on my nation again on your spot like great. So it was the fear big hit big damage

spk_0 The mastermind is looking hurt

spk_0 The mastermind however comes back to its spot light because you're over the fear the spotlight is going to rush in towards you again

spk_0 Since you have the laser cannon that's threat by and you have zero hope which it senses that dread washing over

spk_0 It's going to go ahead and attempt to let's see

spk_0 Yeah, it's going to go ahead and come after you with its arms sides of course

spk_0 That's going to be a 13 to hit you it

spk_0 now it has

spk_0 Existential dread here the mastermind deals double damage to PCs with zero hope

spk_0 So you take double damage from it

spk_0 So with that you don't have any hope

spk_0 Okay 13 plus five 18 points of damage doubled

spk_0 Yeah, you take 36 points of damage as it's siphon arms begin to you guys watch as this

spk_0 I mean that's right in glow like glides forward and arms just

spk_0 We can just stab into and slice Joey lifting them up off the ground as one light kind of jams through the center

spk_0 So I can lift them up in the ground for a moment

spk_0 How you doing?

spk_0 I'm I'm okay if I I could I could do not in the face but then I'm fully stressed

spk_0 Mm-hmm, so that just means I roll with disadvantage every time it means that tax against you have advantage

spk_0 Right, you further stress you take will be hit points

spk_0 Right, okay, but I think I have to do that because I only have one hit point left. Okay, so I'm gonna

spk_0 Fill up with stress

spk_0 And then I can knock off one of my let's go

spk_0 I'm gonna go ahead and spend a fear to activate that mastermind a second time since it has relentless as it's passive

spk_0 So I can do it twice per jam spotlight

spk_0 As your carved into do its stomach it's gonna look at you in the face and you all hear through your minds

spk_0 Another false

spk_0 Like the wrist and it's gonna go ahead and attempt to jam the blade further up to you

spk_0 That's gonna be it's gonna be a 15 to hit oh to hit and with that

spk_0 to

spk_0 That's not a great damage roll necessarily

spk_0 18 points of damage against you

spk_0 Okay, so that's too much so I'm unconscious

spk_0 So you could choose to either actually no, I'm not unconscious

spk_0 I want to go out and play a glory

spk_0 Oh shit, okay, all right

spk_0 So so you get to make one action roll that is an automatic crit success

spk_0 The last thing I want to do is fire the laser cannon

spk_0 Point blank right at this thing while I have the while I have the blades. Let's go ahead and roll some damage on this

spk_0 So so first off it's maximum damage. So it's 80

spk_0 plus 4d 20

spk_0 Yes

spk_0 Lucky 80 plus 4d 20 yes amazing because it's a crit it's a critical hit on this weapon

spk_0 Yeah, I gotta go out and a blaze go for it. I've always got to do it. So it's it's 80 plus 420. Okay

spk_0 92

spk_0 96

spk_0 Plus 15

spk_0 So it's 111 111 natural 20

spk_0 Yeah

spk_0 131 points of energy damage

spk_0 That more than doubles its threshold that is for hit points

spk_0 The alien mastermind is defeated with your alien disintegration array

spk_0 How do you want to do this?

spk_0 So I say there

spk_0 What's the goal?

spk_0 It

spk_0 Carves through

spk_0 Gives out this horrible screech before you watch its body just burn away into ashes and cinders

spk_0 Joey Squawk

spk_0 Falls to the ground in a pile and in a moment here

spk_0 You have you have your final moments to express with your friends before you fade into the veil beyond

spk_0 And the accent disappears and he just looks up and says

spk_0 I would have been so good in that movie

spk_0 Oh

spk_0 That's the quietest he's ever been though

spk_0 As the creature's like body is slowly burning away on the ground

spk_0 It reaches up its hand as it twitches one more time it gives out its final little maneuver and all the lights and all the cylinders start

spk_0 Blinking

spk_0 Coming back to you as you're trying to hack through desperately

spk_0 Oh my god stop it from opening up more chains. That's what I want to do

spk_0 Cuz I want anymore clones coming out or whatever you have two options

spk_0 Yeah, you can make another knowledge role

spk_0 It's gonna be a very high DC to still continue to find out where the Sincense and finish it

spk_0 Or you can make an instinct role it'll be a lower

spk_0 Difficulty to see if you can just

spk_0 rely on your innate

spk_0 Sins of systems to lead you there the choices yours

spk_0 Do I get the computer savvy hacking bonus either way if I spend a hope you spend a hope yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll do and I'll do an instinct

spk_0 I'm gonna dig down deep here. Let's do this. I'm gonna spend a hope too

spk_0 Well double ones

spk_0 For it okay then

spk_0 You take them out like you're getting caught up in the system the the the alien code in here and the the the strange esoteric merger of this newer windows update

spk_0 You don't fully understand

spk_0 Our merging in a place where even your hacking knowledge is kind of

spk_0 Balking you it's it's keeping you from understanding it fully and you take a moment and just kind of

spk_0 instead lean into the alien

spk_0 Coding and follow the thread of where that might take you instead of looking at at language and in text

spk_0 You're finding patterns of movement and for a moment

spk_0 You feel like you're gonna almost understand. It's not about it's it's different from our language. It's almost like an art

spk_0 It's it's an expression of shape

spk_0 Uh more than symbol and as you follow that thread you begin to almost see

spk_0 You begin to see through the matrix

spk_0 You begin you begin to know where all these wires are connected and you find the center point

spk_0 Where all of these cyborgs are centrally connected both autonomously and to the larger hive mind of the alien minds that exist here and there

spk_0 there

spk_0 Is the button you have to press the disable it

spk_0 Hit it the rest of you watch as the containment unit is

spk_0 Opened and the mist royals out as

spk_0 More than two dozen cyborgs come out strange malformed unfinished versions of your troop and Melissa

spk_0 and Mick and Matthew and Lisa all like all of them sorry and Tori comes out and this is this is the next wave of

spk_0 Replacements that the alien technology and the greed of this executive we're going to lean forward and as they begin to charge towards you all with murderous intent

spk_0 You watch as they all

spk_0 Collapse onto the ground on moving

spk_0 And there in the moment you see standing in the back with a laser pistol out in Pearson go

spk_0 You know what children? This has been a great exercise and I think you've truly proven your worth here

spk_0 uh

spk_0 Honestly uh me and all of this the shareholders are extremely proud that you saw through this wonderful

spk_0 Exercise to show that you were to be the top stars of our tgit program

spk_0 In fact, we'd love to have a writers room next week to see what creative ideas you have to bring to the table

spk_0 And we will happily renegotiate contracts

spk_0 Why don't we all go upstairs and and and share share uh, you know what a cocktail or two why not nobody's watching

spk_0 Did I hear him in that with a golf club? Yes

spk_0 I don't want to do that. Have you have you seen my bat?

spk_0 Yeah, I what I don't think that's necessary

spk_0 I don't and with that a series of heavy blows

spk_0 Bring this man low to his knees

spk_0 As you bludgeon the executive here at this point. Oh

spk_0 This is I love this. This is amazing. It doesn't take too much longer before the

spk_0 The gates are the the doors

spk_0 That open to the previously locked

spk_0 Elevator down below emerge and a number of law enforcement along with Myers

spk_0 And other friends of yours

spk_0 Who went to find help beyond begin to both

spk_0 Capture the executive and begin to take in what they've seen here with absolute

spk_0 Confusion and concern who are then quickly overtaken by a number of government officials that really lock down the scenario and tell everyone to leave and not worry about it

spk_0 You are all however

spk_0 Sent out into the night to your various caretakers your parents

spk_0 with exemplary

spk_0 dedication from the studio and apologies immensely for this this weird

spk_0 unfortunate circumstance that you were

spk_0 You know heroic in stopping

spk_0 Promises of renegotiations to come to your management. I think we should all take a percentage of the Salamander studios

spk_0 Yeah, I do too. I think I should get a youth and film

spk_0 Award

spk_0 In his honor memorial award we should see if we could get a mustar on the walk of fame. Yeah, I think you can just buy those right?

spk_0 You can probably buy those

spk_0 As the remaining five of you wrap your arms around each other and take a moment of silence for your lost friend in the sacrifice that he made

spk_0 To save all of you

spk_0 I'm just looking up at y'all and really proud. I mean for the home

spk_0 Of all of us that could have gone known

spk_0 Yeah, you know what I mean? Yeah, big sense. Yeah
