Hello Outlaws and welcome back to
0:31
another episode of Tavern Watch. Please
0:32
play. See you, space cowboy. Cowboy Bbop
0:35
with the serial numbers smudged just a
0:37
little bit. Uh I am your television host
0:40
Joe Perez. Uh and I will be shephering
0:43
us through this last portion of our
0:44
journey. And joining me is our wonderful
0:48
cavalcade of outlaws. Up first,
0:50
otherwise known as awkwardish panda
0:52
everywhere on the internet is Trish.
0:54
>> Hey, that's me. I'm Trish aka Panda or
0:57
Awkwardish Panda. I'm playing Kit
0:59
Brooksfield. Uh she's currently a
1:01
backpack and she is so ready to get rid
1:04
of the really, really grungy basement
1:09
dwellers that we're about to have to
1:10
deal with.
1:12
>> And our resident chaos goblin, ready to
1:15
do things as long as they involve both
1:17
cigarettes and or hot dogs, uh is Chris.
1:22
Yes, it's me. Uh I'm playing Colt
1:25
Sterling. He is at this point in time
1:28
50% hot dog, 50% stick bug.
1:33
[laughter]
1:35
>> All right. Uh, totally not a stickbug,
1:37
but likes to use sticks as stabbling
1:39
implants. Uh, Joan Albbright.
1:43
>> I'm playing Veronica Graves, aka V.
1:46
She's got sort of a soccer mom vibe, but
1:49
she can also totally climb up a building
1:52
and stab you with her knitting needles.
1:55
Not going to lie, when you pitch this
1:56
character, the first thing I thought of
1:58
was uh the mother from Spyx Spy. Uh
2:02
because that's she's literally murder
2:04
mystery soccer mom and it's perfect. Uh
2:08
uh next up, uh she likes to beat things
2:11
up, particularly if they are cyberruck
2:12
shaped. Uh Liz Harper.
2:15
>> Hello. I am playing Jen. And you know,
2:19
Jen is just having the best day ever
2:24
because we're hunting down these guys
2:27
who are NFT bros. They've been driving
2:30
around in a cyber truck. I got to
2:32
totally wreck their cyber truck and it's
2:36
just like we're collecting bounties on
2:39
them. We're making a lot of money and
2:40
that's great. But man, this has been
2:43
such this has been the best day ever for
2:45
Jin.
2:47
I love the fact that I can bring joy to
2:49
people while playing my game. Uh, and
2:51
then last but not least, he likes to
2:53
smash things. Uh, he's very good at it
2:55
and he does it while all giving that big
2:57
dad energy. Phil.
3:00
Hey, I'm Phil. I am playing Luke Navaro
3:03
and I have been doing a lot of smashing
3:05
and grabbing, although not necessarily
3:07
on the same things.
3:10
>> All right. Well then, friends,
3:13
>> I'll echo what I just said in our group
3:14
chat and I'm going to say, Joe, you
3:15
bring joy to everybody's life just by
3:17
existing.
3:18
>> A thank you. Uh well, friends, hopefully
3:21
I can bring some more joy in a cathartic
3:23
manner for all of you. Uh because on our
3:25
last episode, uh the team encountered
3:28
their bounties and uh well, the the
3:30
bounty and his little pack of followers.
3:34
Uh they staked out the uh get it mart.
3:40
uh wound up having a little bit of a
3:41
tussle, managed to only destroy some
3:43
milk in the process. That is a win. Um
3:48
clerk very happy about that. We'll come
3:49
back to that towards the end. Uh they
3:51
were able to take out uh one of them
3:54
pretty readily. Uh one who uh decided to
3:57
call himself Castignoli with a question
3:59
mark. Uh who fancied himself a
4:01
recreation of the 21st century wrestler
4:04
uh Clauddio Castignoli, which if you're
4:07
listening to this Claudio, I love you.
4:08
No harm meant. I apologize. Um, the next
4:12
one was a uh little weedy fellow who
4:14
know was known as the normal one. Uh,
4:17
who not only got himself yonked by the
4:19
neck as trying to make a daring escape
4:21
into said cyber truck that Liz had spent
4:24
uh a good portion of the encounter
4:26
destroying by slashing tires and
4:28
destroying a windshield. Uh, fell in
4:30
love with our wonderful kit as she
4:32
turned her sex appeal up to 11 by
4:34
literally rolling an 11. uh who then
4:36
proceeded to have his neck snapped in a
4:38
very satisfying crunch uh that then the
4:40
camera panned away from because other
4:42
things were happening with his body that
4:44
nobody should be ever seeing. Um they
4:46
were able to follow the path after
4:49
turning in their bounty of the dead out
4:51
these dead outlaws here. [snorts] Uh
4:53
follow the path of the cybert truck to
4:54
the warehouse uh where they discovered
4:57
that they really cheaped out on security
4:59
for for these types of guys. Again, not
5:03
even remotely surprising. made their way
5:05
to the roof, found that well, as they
5:08
had a giant skylight here with a
5:10
disconnected security uh system on it,
5:13
it was probably the best course of
5:14
action to just sort of smash it and jump
5:17
in to the Island of Lost Boys warehouse
5:21
where tons of uh copyright adjacent
5:24
infringement items uh were either being
5:26
played on display or uh sounding over
5:29
the PA system. And that shower of glass
5:32
is where we left off our wonderful
5:34
outlaws.
5:36
I now turn it over to you. You've
5:38
smashed the glass. They know you're
5:41
there. Now what do you do?
5:45
>> We want to jump on all that glass or do
5:46
we want to make them come outside?
5:51
>> You think they are going to come
5:53
outside? I mean,
5:54
>> I don't think they come outside.
5:56
I was thinking kind of the shards of
5:58
glass are the the first attack vector.
6:02
>> Yeah, they looking real hurt.
6:06
>> Yeah, they're um I mean they're not
6:08
looking hurt. Um but these are
6:11
definitely not You can tell from here
6:14
the analogy of me giving you the kids
6:16
from the Teenage Mut Ninja Turtles foot
6:18
hideout is pretty accurate. These are
6:21
all like young like kids probably like
6:25
in their early teens, mid- teens that
6:27
ran away from home uh and got taken in
6:30
by uh the NFT hound as like he
6:34
essentially tries to cult personality
6:35
them into the crypto bro lifestyle which
6:38
would exactly mirror what you heard at
6:41
the the get it mart where he was trying
6:43
to convince uh the clerk to join
6:46
essentially on this wonderful crypto
6:47
band uh which if you missed the last
6:49
episode highly go back recommend you go
6:51
back and watch it or listen to it. Um
6:53
because cryptocurrency and NFTTS are
6:56
super illegal in CU space cowboy uh with
6:59
the only thing uh maybe being worse than
7:01
it or on par with it is apparently human
7:03
trafficking. Uh so it's bad.
7:09
So yeah, what do you what do you what do
7:10
you guys do here? They don't they look
7:11
like they're inexperienced. They don't
7:13
look like they're going to give you much
7:14
of a hard time. Uh the ones that look
7:16
like it is is the definitely the ball
7:18
guy that's walking through uh looks like
7:20
he's got some chops to him, but that's
7:22
really going to be about it.
7:24
>> As as the the team is saying like, "Hey,
7:26
should we jump? Should we not? Should we
7:28
jump?" Uh Colt just dives through the
7:31
window like uh you know, Colt in his uh
7:35
dodge, dip, duck, dive, and dodge. Uh
7:38
falling through the air towards said
7:40
trampoline covered in glass uh drawing
7:43
his gun in the meantime. [laughter]
7:45
All right. Well, let's go ahead and make
7:46
that roll then. First roll of the
7:48
session. And let's see if Colt can make
7:51
this look cool as heck.
7:54
>> Uh, that would be a nine actually. Well,
7:58
I'm not using my gun for that. So, yeah,
7:59
nine.
8:00
>> Uh, I would, you know what, I would
8:02
argue that we could make a co a case for
8:05
it where uh you are using your gun
8:08
because you're just, you know,
8:09
essentially shooting stuff on your way
8:11
down to make it look cool. I'll give you
8:12
the plus one to make it a 10 because I
8:13
don't feel like complicating this. Um,
8:16
you dive head first through and the the
8:18
enemy sequence starts with uh your head
8:21
first down. Uh, you reach under your
8:23
your coat as it flaps in the the wind of
8:26
your uh acceleration downward. Uh, you
8:29
pull out the gun. uh you do a devil may
8:32
cry uh sort of like if you've ever
8:34
played the game at home folks, there's
8:36
this thing where Dante will essentially
8:38
twirl midair and fire the guns in the
8:40
ground to break his descent. That is
8:42
exactly what Colt does before hitting on
8:44
the the trampoline and then going into
8:46
the pseudo superhero pose. Uh I would
8:49
assume with a katana blade of some sort
8:52
uh in his hand or just the gun. You you
8:54
you decide to tell me. I would
8:56
absolutely love to say that he had a
8:59
katana, but he doesn't. Um, but I'm sure
9:01
with all the bros in here, there's one
9:03
laying around.
9:05
>> I'm sure you will find a M ninja katana
9:07
without much effort at all.
9:11
>> Oh man, that's going to break the second
9:12
you try to use it on something.
9:14
[laughter]
9:16
>> All right, that's that's uh that's Colt.
9:19
Who else? Who's next?
9:20
>> Uh, well, if Colt's going to jump in, I
9:22
want to jump in, but I don't want to aim
9:23
for the trampoline. I want to aim for
9:24
the bald guy.
9:25
>> [laughter]
9:28
>> All right. Uh, let's see. How are we
9:30
going to do this one? Uh, what is what
9:32
is it going to fall?
9:33
>> Ambush someone.
9:34
>> Wait, wait, wait, wait. Can we like
9:37
combine this so I could do something
9:39
obnoxious?
9:40
>> Oh, I mean, of course.
9:42
>> Um,
9:42
>> can I I have a talent called yeet. Can I
9:45
yeet myself off his back as we jump and
9:47
aim for [laughter] the trampoline?
9:49
>> Oh, a thousand%. Absolutely.
9:51
>> Oh, boy. And I haven't used my plus
9:54
three from the last game yet. So I don't
9:55
know if I have it or not.
9:57
>> Uh the plus three is not going to be
10:00
because that was for scaling the wall.
10:01
>> Yep, that's fine.
10:03
>> The backpack. It's fine.
10:04
>> This is this is yeet though, so you'll
10:06
be able to do the the d4 attitude. We'll
10:08
get we'll get that added. We'll get that
10:10
in a second. Uh Luke, I don't think this
10:12
is an ambush somebody because they know
10:14
you're here. Um, however, I will allow
10:17
this to be get into a fist fight because
10:19
you are literally diving straight for
10:21
this man.
10:22
>> That's the intention. I'm trying I'm
10:23
trying to catch I'm trying to start a
10:24
fight with this man with my feet.
10:26
[laughter] Uh, all right. I'm going to
10:29
I'm going to roll this. I'm going to
10:30
roll again in a fist fight then.
10:32
Uh, that is a What is that? This dice
10:35
sucks. That is a 10. That is a four.
10:36
That is literally the maximum I could
10:38
roll. That is a 14.
10:40
>> All right. Uh, technically getting into
10:42
a fist fight is Oh, were you doing moves
10:44
or were you doing muscles?
10:45
>> I was doing muscles.
10:46
>> Technically not a maximum because your
10:48
muscles is a d12.
10:50
>> Oh, the Oh, that's right. Wait, but
10:53
yeah, sorry. I'm bad at dice.
10:56
>> Did you roll a d10 instead of a d12?
10:58
>> No, I rolled a d12 and I just couldn't
11:00
read it. [laughter]
11:02
>> The these dice I have on my desk kind of
11:04
suck. So,
11:06
>> that's okay. Uh you perfectly wind up
11:08
positioning yourself through the air uh
11:11
and making a beline for this person as
11:14
Kit is still on your back. Kit, you're
11:16
going to yeet yourself off of this uh
11:19
and and try to get yourself onto the uh
11:22
trampoline. Uh I am going to say that
11:25
normally yeet I believe is a muscle
11:27
talent. Um
11:28
>> it is I actually I literally have my
11:31
muscle dice which is a six and a four.
11:34
>> Let's let's go ahead and roll it. Or did
11:35
you roll a six and a four?
11:37
>> I'm totally fine with I don't know what
11:40
the hell we're doing here. Let's roll it
11:41
anyway.
11:43
That's real bad. That's a four. So, I'll
11:45
take my uh Well, I already have juice,
11:47
so Oh, that means you failed. It means I
11:49
can do it again.
11:50
>> You failed. You can use your juice.
11:52
>> So, I rolled both dice again, right?
11:53
>> You roll both dice again. You want to
11:55
get at least six more points.
11:57
>> And I didn't. I rolled the three.
11:59
[laughter]
12:00
>> All right. So, this is going to be a
12:02
failure.
12:03
uh you go and uh you yeet yourself off
12:05
of uh Luke's back uh trying to aim for
12:08
the trampoline. Uh you overcorrect ever
12:12
so slightly and you are going to wind up
12:13
taking a wound as you knock the wind out
12:15
of you as you hit the edge of the
12:17
trampoline. You don't you don't break
12:19
your back, but you definitely felt that
12:22
one. [snorts]
12:24
[laughter]
12:28
And because you use your juice, you do
12:30
not get a juice for this because that
12:32
failure does not count with it. All
12:34
right. Uh we're going to go ahead and
12:37
who's next? That was Colt, Luke, and
12:41
Kit. That leaves V and Jen.
12:44
>> Oh boy.
12:47
Well, I mean, we're going in. We're
12:50
going in. I saw Luke going for the big
12:54
guy.
12:57
Um,
12:59
and I think I'm I think I'm also going
13:01
to try to jump in as gracefully as
13:03
possible. And
13:08
>> I don't know. I'm I'm not really good at
13:10
physical attacking people.
13:13
>> Well, you could you could try to sneak
13:15
in while they're distracted with the
13:16
others and do something else.
13:18
>> Like, it's not a good idea.
13:20
>> You have rope. you have the ability to
13:23
uh potentially get yourself to a an
13:25
upper level or something and try to, you
13:27
know, work your way around. So, you
13:29
could do that. You could sneak.
13:32
>> Let me do that. I'd like to go in and
13:35
like if I could get an up high vantage
13:37
point. Man, everyone looks like they're
13:40
having so much fun, but I'm not great at
13:42
fist fighting. H
13:47
that's that's my character. She's kind
13:48
of bummed out like uh but this is
13:52
um so yeah. Is there like maybe catwalks
13:55
on an upper level?
13:56
>> Yeah, there's catwalks on the upper
13:57
level.
13:58
>> I'm going to try and get down on one of
14:00
the catwalks with a rope or by jumping
14:03
if it's not too far.
14:05
>> Sure. We'll say we'll say you can make
14:06
your way down there.
14:07
>> Yeah. And you do have you guys do have
14:08
the rope from Colt's uh Colt's uh
14:10
toolbox. Uh I'd say this is going to be
14:13
probably in the dodge, dip, duck, dive,
14:15
and dodge roll. Um, but you can use your
14:18
now uh you see me now you don't. Uh
14:21
because you are trying to do this
14:22
stealthily.
14:23
>> I am trying to I am trying to vanish.
14:25
>> Yeah. So I think your d12 plus a d4 here
14:27
is applicable.
14:29
>> Uh that is an eight.
14:31
>> Eight total with the d4 and everything.
14:33
>> Eight to that's a four and a four.
14:36
>> Four and a four. Uh mixed success. You
14:38
are they know you're here but they don't
14:42
necessarily know where you are. Um but
14:45
they are on alert. They know for a fact
14:47
that you are among the number here.
14:49
>> Um there's a lot of people here.
14:51
>> Yeah. Which we we'll get to that how
14:52
that complication manifests itself in a
14:54
moment. Uh which leaves us with V.
14:59
>> Um can I see Boxy from here?
15:03
>> No. Actually, as a matter of fact,
15:05
you're taking a survey of the land. You
15:07
do not see the NFT hound or Boxy.
15:11
>> H. And how many exits did we determine
15:13
this building had
15:15
>> from what you determined? Uh, zero
15:17
because there were no obvious doors or
15:19
windows.
15:20
>> Uh, this being the only one. So, there's
15:21
there's probably like a a hidden door or
15:24
something that opens up like a garage
15:25
door or something.
15:27
>> I'm going to look around and see if
15:30
anyone's trying to make a getaway
15:33
just beyond Overwatch.
15:35
>> Sure. Uh, we'll say that that's going to
15:37
be a Rita situation
15:39
>> cuz I want to get him back for that stab
15:42
wound in my shoulder.
15:44
>> The vendetta is real. Uh, okay. Uh, read
15:47
a situation. Give me that d12.
15:50
>> All righty. Where did my d2 go? Here
15:53
kitty kitty. There it is.
15:55
>> Unless you want to brains it and add a
15:57
d4. You can do a d8 and a d4 or you can
15:59
do a d12
16:01
>> because you have the talent under brains
16:03
for read a situation.
16:05
>> Sure.
16:07
D8
16:10
d4
16:13
>> options.
16:13
>> We [clears throat] have an eight on the
16:15
eight and a four on the four.
16:18
>> Mark yourself a juice. That is a wild
16:20
success.
16:22
uh you know exactly
16:25
the threat level of everybody below you.
16:27
Uh like a uh a person playing an RTS,
16:31
you're reading the situation perfectly.
16:33
These kids are really not a threat. They
16:35
are are low-level uh henchmen at at
16:38
best. Uh the bald guy is probably the
16:40
largest visible threat uh which Luke is
16:43
going to be squaring off uh with here in
16:45
in a few moments. Um, but you don't see
16:48
Bakshi or uh the NFT hound, they are
16:51
likely hiding. You got the read of the
16:54
past encounter that they generally are
16:56
not combative. Um, Bakshi maybe a little
17:00
bit more than NFT Hound. He definitely
17:01
has some physical chops. Uh, but the
17:04
Hound is a coward, right? He's likely
17:07
hiding somewhere. There's probably a
17:09
room uh or a panic uh area or an office
17:12
or something uh in which they're hiding.
17:15
So given the layout of what I can see
17:18
below me and the shape of the building,
17:21
which which end of the building is, is
17:25
that panic room most likely to be on?
17:29
>> That's harder to determine from up here.
17:31
Um, you would likely need to get inside
17:33
and get your hands on either an internal
17:35
terminal uh or something else in order
17:38
to figure out where uh because as you
17:40
look down, it's a giant square room. And
17:42
off the giant square room are tons of
17:45
doors and uh alos and not necessarily
17:50
cubicles, but like spaces made out of
17:52
like boxes and like in the middle of
17:54
arcade cabinets and things like that
17:56
where people have moved stuff to make a
17:59
personal space.
18:00
>> Again, it is really like like teenagers
18:03
vomited all over the spot.
18:04
>> Yeah, I'll take my best guess and
18:06
parkour my way down to that.
18:10
>> All right. Uh which brings us back up to
18:13
the uh the top of the order or at least
18:15
another round of actions. Uh so anybody
18:19
can start out. So uh Luke, you have the
18:22
bald guy in your uh in your sights here.
18:25
You are right on top of them. Uh and uh
18:28
Colt, you are sort of in position,
18:31
perfectly poised to start wreaking
18:33
havoc. Uh
18:36
what do you all do
18:39
>> that may Oh, go ahead. Yeah, I was going
18:41
to say before I fully square off with
18:43
this guy, I kind of I kind of want to
18:44
just, you know, I've got my fist up, but
18:45
I'm like, we're not here for you. We're
18:47
just here for Bakshi and the Hound. This
18:50
doesn't have to go down with you.
18:53
He just kind of doesn't say anything,
18:57
grunts at you, uh, and then just starts
19:01
wanting to take a swing.
19:03
>> All righty, then we can then we can then
19:05
we can we can swing. We can dance,
19:07
cowboy.
19:10
Uh that would be uh the hot streak had
19:13
dead eventually. That'll be a seven
19:15
total on get in a fist fight.
19:17
>> Okay. Uh you guys are going to wind up
19:19
doing a wound to each other. So the way
19:20
that this winds up working out is uh he
19:23
winds up taking off what looks like uh
19:26
an like a house coat type thing like a
19:28
situation uh revealing a perfectly uh
19:31
rippled physique underneath. Uh, he
19:34
literally looks like Master Roshi the
19:37
turtle hermit from Dragon Ball Z. Uh,
19:40
this is like an old bald man with like
19:42
superior like physicality. Um, he
19:45
squares off against you. You go to throw
19:47
the first punch. Uh, he deflects it and
19:49
goes to take a punch at you. Uh, and a
19:51
fist fight starts ensuing where you are
19:53
both relatively evenly matched. And it's
19:56
been a while since you've been in a fist
19:57
fight where you have been evenly
19:59
matched. um you wind up getting a blow
20:02
in the top of his shoulder um with your
20:04
mechanical hand as he winds up getting a
20:07
blow directly into your solar plexus,
20:09
knocking the wind out of you, both of
20:11
you resulting in a wound.
20:12
>> Say I think he cracks me a good one in
20:13
the ribs and I just grin. I like this
20:16
guy. And I think he also like he rolls
20:19
his shoulder a little bit to as you both
20:21
stand up and part ways and start
20:22
circling each other in sort of like that
20:24
movieesque way uh where he rotates his
20:27
shoulder and gives you the slight
20:29
incline of his head as he takes his
20:30
sunglasses off. And
20:32
>> as we as we go back as we go back to
20:34
round two before the camera cuts away
20:35
from us, I'm going to Henry Caval style
20:37
[ __ ] my fists. All right, who's next?
20:39
[laughter]
20:41
>> All right, who's next up? I think even
20:44
though Colt had his beautiful perfect
20:46
landing and and is ready to wreak havoc,
20:50
um before he does that, he has to check
20:53
on Kit to make sure that she's not like
20:56
broken in half from that landing.
20:59
>> Oh.
21:00
[laughter]
21:01
>> Uh okay. I think that would be uh either
21:04
a patch someone up or Rita situation.
21:07
>> Probably a Rita situation for this guy.
21:09
So,
21:10
>> okay. I think this
21:11
>> this is going to fall under cool though
21:13
because we are in the middle of combat,
21:15
not brains.
21:16
>> No, that that's perfectly fine. [snorts]
21:20
>> Uh that is a seven.
21:24
>> Uh with the plus one cool from your
21:26
cigarettes, that is an eight. Still a
21:28
mixed success. Uh Kit looks real bad.
21:32
Kit looks like uh like she may have
21:34
broken uh her back. You don't know.
21:37
>> Uh
21:39
as he's kind of standing over her in in
21:42
his tall linky fashion. He just kind of
21:45
looks down. You all right?
21:48
>> Ow. Help up, please. Ow.
21:52
>> He'll extend a hand to help you up,
21:54
though. You know, you probably shouldn't
21:56
shouldn't do that if she has a broken
21:57
back, but he's doing it anyway.
21:59
>> No, she'll like use Thank you for the
22:02
help. Thank you. Ow. That was really not
22:05
smart. I tried though. Did I at least
22:09
look cool before I hit the ground?
22:11
>> That That's worth everything.
22:14
>> That's all I care is. Did I look cool
22:15
before I hit the ground?
22:18
>> All right. Next up, we have Jen Env.
22:22
And then Kit.
22:26
Whoever wants to go first.
22:28
>> I can parkour my way down.
22:31
>> Sure, you can. You can make your way
22:33
down. You can try to to parkour your way
22:35
down. V.
22:36
>> All right. Urban parkour. Two dice.
22:41
>> Yeah. D10 and D4.
22:42
>> We have a seven.
22:45
>> Uh partial success. Uh I would say that
22:48
you
22:49
um make your way down, but everybody
22:52
knows exactly where you are. There is
22:54
you like you you're safe. You don't have
22:56
any uh any wounds or anything, but
22:58
you've definitely knocked a bunch of
22:59
stuff over on your way down. And uh
23:01
we'll say you're up on one of the
23:02
catwalks. We'll say opposite of Jen. Um,
23:06
and like you they just they know exactly
23:08
where you are.
23:09
>> Okay, then I'm going to crack my m my
23:12
knuckles and say, "All right, kids. You
23:15
better head home cuz mama's here."
23:19
[laughter]
23:21
>> All right. Uh, that that's Kit and uh
23:24
Jen who wants to go.
23:29
Well, I I had the thought that it's like
23:31
looking down here, we don't see our
23:33
actual bounties. There's a lot of kids.
23:36
There's this one guy who looks like they
23:37
might be a threat, but not our bounties.
23:40
Um,
23:42
so I'm wondering if I can use my my
23:45
hacking tool
23:47
to like get into the wifi here and see
23:50
where there's internet activity because
23:53
I figure wherever these guys are hiding
23:56
out, they're probably doing their
23:58
nftting or whatever else they [laughter]
24:01
do while they're hiding out. They're
24:04
probably using bandwidth is what I'm
24:06
thinking. And maybe I could use my
24:08
hacking tool to see
24:10
Okay. Where is this traffic coming from
24:12
physically in the building?
24:14
>> Sure. Uh, that's going to be a hack the
24:16
planet and you have security system
24:17
knowledge, so we'll give you the D4 with
24:19
it.
24:21
>> Yeah,
24:28
that's neat.
24:29
>> Uh, partial success. Uh, you are in and
24:32
you have a layout of the rough area now.
24:36
Um, you see where all the rooms are, but
24:38
you do not have a direct bead on them.
24:41
>> But they do know that you are in the
24:43
system and looking.
24:46
>> Okay,
24:48
>> I know how I can help with this then. If
24:50
you've done that, I have an idea.
24:53
>> You're even better at this than I am.
24:55
So,
24:56
>> well, it's a good it's a good idea. But
24:57
the the different I will say is Jenna is
24:59
on an upper level. Kit, you are on the
25:01
the trampoline. Uh, so you got to figure
25:05
out how to make your way either up there
25:06
or to another terminal or something,
25:08
>> right? Is there a terminal down here
25:12
>> or a computer or something that is down
25:14
like
25:15
>> something that could run a video game?
25:18
>> Oh, there's tons of stuff that could run
25:19
a video game. Absolutely.
25:20
>> I'm going to go find whatever it is and
25:23
find whatever game has been patched that
25:25
day and try to log in.
25:27
>> Okay, go ahead and hack the planet.
25:30
I'm going to try to cause all of the
25:31
disruption and I can use my computer
25:34
technology talent with that, right?
25:36
>> Yep.
25:37
>> I definitely didn't use that earlier.
25:39
What I should have uh
25:42
that's a seven. Wow. I'm rolling real
25:45
bad, y'all.
25:46
>> Uh complicated uh success. Uh so you are
25:50
you're able to to create the distraction
25:52
as you want. Um you're able to cause all
25:56
the machines to start going haywire, go
25:57
off. They're all sort of interconnected.
26:00
Um, and it is at this moment that the
26:02
complication from earlier comes into
26:03
play because we've hit another threshold
26:05
for partial successes andor failures.
26:08
Um, again, they know you're here. Uh,
26:11
and every video screen that is not a
26:14
dedicated arcade cabinet pops over to
26:16
the face of the NFT hound or essentially
26:19
a VTuber avatar of the uh, NFT hound as
26:23
he goes, "Oh, I SEE OUR FRIENDS FROM
26:26
EARLIER. RIGHT HERE. Did you come to
26:27
join our crypto emperor? All you had to
26:29
do was ask. No. Oh, well then two full
26:35
bitcoins to anybody who brings me their
26:38
heads. Have a nice day, kitties, and
26:42
blips off. Uh, and this is where all the
26:44
kids are going to get up and start
26:45
trying to make convergence of you cuz uh
26:48
they believe that two bitcoins is a lot
26:49
of money. It's not, but they believe it
26:51
is.
26:54
Which brings us back up to the uh the
26:56
full uh full top of the order. Who would
26:59
like to start?
27:08
>> Okay, sure. I I will. Uh Colt is looking
27:12
for that katana in this area.
27:16
They're everywhere. Like this is
27:18
literally like if a the the mall store
27:21
that sells the cheap knives that are not
27:23
actually good for anything like vomited
27:26
then reproduce inside of that vomit and
27:28
vomited again. There are like you cannot
27:31
go any any direction without finding
27:33
like 10 swords of questionable quality.
27:36
So a thousand% you can find a malt
27:38
katana here.
27:39
>> Wonderful. Uh Colt picks one up and he
27:43
now has his gun in one hand and a katana
27:45
in the other.
27:47
And now it's time to cause absolute
27:50
havoc. Fantastic. [snorts] What are we
27:52
doing? What are we doing?
27:54
I'm feeling really bad for the closest
27:56
of the the kids that are coming his way
27:58
cuz uh they're they're getting that
28:01
sword.
28:03
All right. Uh I believe this is going to
28:05
be uh essentially it's get into a a fist
28:09
fight is what it boils down to. It is.
28:12
Um, and with the katana, the katana
28:16
gives plus three to that.
28:18
>> It sure does.
28:19
>> And that's a d12. Now, I wanted to let
28:21
our listeners know when I designed this
28:24
character and uh part of the character
28:26
creation process is uh either draw your
28:29
character or use a pick crew. Um, the
28:31
picrew I created made him look like
28:33
Teimu Vicious. Um, so we're just playing
28:36
off stereotype at this point. Uh, and
28:39
that's a
28:42
[laughter]
28:43
that's a 14.
28:45
All right. These kids start rushing the
28:47
uh the uh trampoline where you're
28:50
standing on top of doing your your best
28:51
vicious impression. Uh you reach down.
28:54
Uh you see at the edge of the the
28:56
trampoline there's just a katana blade
28:57
laying there. You stamp your foot. It
29:00
pops up into the air. You grab it out of
29:02
midair and you take like this twirling
29:04
slashes. Your coat unfurls behind you.
29:08
And this beautiful anime arc, uh, you
29:11
slice four of these kids down without
29:13
even batting an eye. Uh, blood sprays
29:16
artfully against the wall into the
29:19
world's worst ro test. Uh, and you, uh,
29:23
get down into sort of like a crouch
29:25
position, the blade behind you, uh, the,
29:28
uh, sword pointed up in the air next to
29:30
your head as you're slightly bowed uh,
29:33
down. Uh, and the rest of them are are
29:35
starting to look at you like, "Uh, okay,
29:38
that's not good. Maybe maybe we
29:40
shouldn't rush the guy that has a gun
29:41
and a sword. We got sticks and maybe we
29:45
should go get swords." Uh, but yes, a
29:47
particularly cool move in the middle of
29:49
this combat uh has bred a moment of calm
29:52
in what would otherwise be chaos.
29:55
next.
29:57
>> Uh, following his lead, I want to grab a
30:00
katana and like just post up next to him
30:02
and be like, "All right, who's next?"
30:04
And if somebody comes at me, I want to
30:06
try to grab them and kill Bill this
30:09
dude. Like just bend him over my knee
30:11
and whoop his ass with a guitar.
30:13
[laughter]
30:14
>> Uh, okay.
30:15
>> He's watched a few movies. She doesn't
30:17
know how to fight with a sword. She
30:18
going to try it anyway cuz none of these
30:19
kids know what they're doing either. I
30:21
think we're going to call that a
30:25
that's either going to be a I think
30:26
that's going to be a get into a fist
30:27
fight or a sub or knock someone out. Um
30:31
>> okay,
30:32
>> you can do that at the your under your
30:34
moves. That's a d8 I believe for your
30:35
character.
30:36
>> It's a d8 for my character for either of
30:38
those.
30:38
>> And you're going to get the plus three
30:39
from the M katana.
30:41
>> Okay,
30:43
let's see how bad I roll this time. Is
30:45
that's not a d8. That's a d10. Hang on.
30:47
[laughter]
30:49
Let me be honest.
30:52
You said it was plus three. A nine.
30:55
>> Uh, a nine is a partial success. Uh, you
30:58
managed to grab one of these kids as
31:00
they're going to dive like they're
31:01
diving at you. Um, and normally this
31:04
would be a uh wound to each of you, but
31:07
I'm going to do this even funnier
31:08
because I think that it's a Maul sword
31:10
and only one thing could possibly happen
31:12
when you have a mixed success with a
31:14
Maul sword. You do bend this kit. You
31:16
bend this kid over your knee uh and you
31:18
go to smack him with the the flat of the
31:20
sword, Kill Bill style. Uh and on the
31:23
third flack, it shatters uh into a bunch
31:26
of like just cheap Chinese pop metal
31:29
bits uh as you're just left with a
31:32
handle in your hand. You look at it for
31:34
a moment. You look at the kid, he looks
31:36
back up at you, tears in his eyes, and
31:38
you hit him one more time in the butt
31:40
with the the the the hilt uh that is
31:43
currently in your hand. Uh, and we're
31:45
going to say that he is out cold. He is
31:46
out of this fight.
31:48
>> Awesome. Who's next? [laughter]
31:51
>> Uh, I want to keep my fist fight going
31:52
with this big bald guy. Let's, uh, let's
31:56
keep going. Uh, I think we're circling.
31:58
I think we've kind of circled each
31:59
other. We're kind of like I think our
32:00
fight like moves through the middle of
32:02
other fights. Like kids run kid kids are
32:06
like running at Colt or K uh Colt or Kit
32:08
and then like in the opening space
32:10
that's left like the two of us come
32:11
through
32:12
>> constant. It's like it's like a river
32:14
parting around a a rock is what's
32:16
happening with that fight sequence.
32:17
Nobody wants to be involved in what's
32:19
happening between you two.
32:20
>> Nobody wants to get in the middle of
32:21
this.
32:22
All right. So, let's see. There's a
32:24
seven and two nine. And I forgot to add
32:27
my brass knuckles last time. So, it's an
32:29
11. Uh, so that is a success. You uh you
32:32
guys are going back and forth. It is
32:34
another exchange of blows. Um, and it
32:36
seems like you both have the same idea.
32:39
uh he reaches into the sash of his waist
32:42
uh and pulls out a pair of brass
32:44
knuckles as well. Uh you're you're
32:47
faster on the draw than he is. Um
32:50
because technically you don't need to
32:52
draw from anywhere on your body. You
32:54
just remember to harden the knuckles on
32:56
your cybernetic hand with the attachment
32:58
that you paid way too much and went into
33:00
debt for that essentially forms the
33:02
brass knuckles around it. Uh and you
33:04
coalcock this guy u on the side of the
33:07
head. Uh he is staggered but not down.
33:11
Um he is a lot beefier than the average
33:16
uh combatant. Uh you think that he may
33:18
be NFT Hound's personal bodyguard. Um
33:22
but yeah, you've got a solid blow. You
33:24
take nothing in response. Uh and he uh
33:27
looks over, gets up, spits a tooth out
33:31
from his face, and grins wildly as a
33:35
fire lights behind his eyes. The camera
33:37
zooms in and it is literally an inferno.
33:40
This is the first time he has felt alive
33:43
in years.
33:46
Who's next?
33:49
>> Uh, I think V is going to try to take
33:52
this opportunity to um convince the rest
33:55
of the kids to scadaddle.
33:58
I want to do this as a manipulate
34:00
someone role. Basically, I'm gonna I'm g
34:04
I'm gonna just uh
34:07
you know, I've got my soccer mom vibe
34:09
going on. Land on the land on the deck
34:12
from parkouring my way down.
34:15
Um, and then just completely turn my
34:19
look harmless
34:21
uh vibe
34:23
on its head as I pull a couple of long
34:25
knives out of my boots and say I said go
34:30
home.
34:32
>> All right. I think this is absolutely
34:34
going to be a manipulate somebody. And
34:36
you're pulling your best mom vibe hiding
34:38
the knives. Um, you have them in your
34:40
hand, but you're you're trying to look
34:41
harmless. I'll say you get your D4 from
34:43
that as well. Uh, let's go ahead and
34:45
make that roll.
34:47
>> That is 8 + 3 11.
34:51
>> A rousing success. Uh, I'm going to roll
34:54
a d20 to see how many of these kids take
34:56
notice and just get the hell out of
34:57
dodge.
35:02
That is an 18. uh over a dozen of these
35:06
kids stop dead in their tracks and they
35:08
look at each other and then they look at
35:10
you and they look at each other again
35:12
and they just drop the swords and knives
35:15
and pipes and and hockey sticks and
35:17
things that they were grabbing. Uh and
35:19
they just book it. Uh they go through
35:21
various doors and they're gone. greatly
35:24
reducing the number of them that are
35:25
left um to a reasonable sub uh par level
35:31
of uh henchmen. [laughter]
35:35
>> Um good job there.
35:39
>> All right, who's next?
35:41
>> Never to piss her off. [laughter]
35:44
>> I believe that's uh Jen is the only one
35:46
left, I believe.
35:48
So, I was I was trying to find our our
35:52
targets and I got like a a map of the
35:55
facility. So, I know they aren't here in
35:58
this big room, but I know there
36:00
I now know there are other rooms I could
36:02
check or other spaces I could check.
36:05
>> Yeah. Let's say uh roll me a D8.
36:09
Just a flat roll. Nothing else special
36:10
with it.
36:22
and just let me know what you control.
36:24
>> I could have made Oh, I It's a two.
36:26
>> Okay, so that's actually very good. Um,
36:29
you wanted low on this. You have looked
36:32
at the map and you are making a decision
36:34
in this moment where there are two very
36:38
likely possible sit like places where
36:41
you think they may be held up. Uh there
36:43
are two rooms of moderate size that look
36:45
like they are both out of the way. Both
36:47
of them show that they have a locked
36:49
beefy door. Um you would suspect that
36:52
one of them is likely whatever is
36:55
powering this place. Uh likely the
36:57
server room or something along those
36:59
lines and one of the the other one is
37:02
likely his personal sanctum uh or his
37:05
safety room, his panic room. You don't
37:07
know which is which. So you've got a
37:09
5050 shot. Um, but in this moment, would
37:13
you uh we'll say
37:17
I'm trying to think of how best to to
37:18
frame this and give you a little bit of
37:20
an advantage.
37:22
Let's say this is a read a situation.
37:27
I think to kind of parse the data that
37:31
you have in front of you.
37:32
>> I'm going to read a situation using
37:35
brains.
37:37
>> Okay.
37:39
Oh, that's another two.
37:42
My dice are not
37:44
dice are
37:45
>> That happens sometimes. Mark yourself a
37:48
juice. Uh, you have no bloody clue.
37:50
>> I have a I have a juice.
37:52
>> Oh, you can use a juice.
37:54
>> You can spend your juice.
37:55
>> Um, and that just means I roll again and
37:58
I add them together.
38:00
>> Yep. But you need a 10 or higher com
38:02
total.
38:04
>> That's an eight on the dice. That is a
38:06
10 exactly combined together. Um, you
38:10
are relatively certain you know exactly
38:12
what room they're in. It looks like
38:14
there's a uh it's a slightly smaller
38:16
than the other one. You didn't notice it
38:18
at first glance. Uh room to the north
38:21
end of the building. Uh little bit
38:24
buried deep on the first level. Uh you
38:27
think that that's where they're held up.
38:32
Then I want to slip down and head in
38:34
that direction trying to keep myself out
38:36
of notice. And if we have comms of any
38:39
sort, I would like to just sort of ping
38:42
in this direction.
38:44
>> Why yes, you do have comms. Uh because
38:46
this is a space show uh set in the very
38:49
distant future of like 2035. Uh and you
38:53
definitely have uh those that ability to
38:56
just kind of chat with each other in
38:57
real time. So every everyone just sees
38:59
like a ping on their mini map.
39:03
>> All right, guys have a target now.
39:07
And I believe that's everybody on this
39:09
go, which brings us back to a fresh
39:10
round of of activities. Who would like
39:12
to start us off?
39:16
>> Uh I think I'm going to take off and
39:20
follow Jen.
39:23
>> Okay. Uh let's see. You're going to try
39:26
to wade through the guys that are left.
39:28
That is kit. You are,
39:31
we'll say this is going to be a dodge,
39:33
dip, duck, dive, and dodge. So, you're
39:34
going to get your D8, but you are
39:36
escaping a situation. I'm going to say
39:38
that you can apply your escape artist to
39:40
this. So, you're going to get that d12
39:41
as well or d4 as well.
39:42
>> Nice. Thank you.
39:45
Uh, that is an eight
39:48
>> total.
39:48
>> Yep. I rolled a four and a four.
39:50
[snorts]
39:50
>> Uh, mixed success. you're able to uh
39:54
blow through a good chunk of these guys
39:55
as they are the ones that are escaping
39:57
from V's last uh motherly speech uh and
40:02
start trying to make your way there. Uh
40:04
but you are going to get stopped by one
40:06
of the goons that uh very clearly has
40:09
not taken the bait and has Bitcoin
40:11
dollar signs in his eyes.
40:14
>> So you're gonna have to get through one
40:16
guy. Gotcha.
40:19
>> All right. Who's next?
40:24
I can. Uh, so Colt also making his way
40:27
in the same direction. Uh, but if he's
40:32
encountering anybody, uh, I would say
40:35
anybody that he encounters that might
40:37
get in his way, it looks like he's going
40:39
to swing that katana, seeing his is
40:42
still in one piece somehow. U, but as he
40:45
pulls back the katana, he just lifts the
40:47
gun in his other hand and just fires.
40:49
All right, give me a give me a firefight
40:52
roll. Citly. Let's see.
40:57
Well, that that's a four.
41:03
Uh, that's with the plus one from the
41:05
pistol.
41:06
>> Uhhuh.
41:08
>> Uh, dice like us today.
41:10
>> So, that is a failure. Um, I got that
41:13
juice though. Are you going to use the
41:15
juice? Yeah, why not? Might as well.
41:19
All right, roll the make that roll again
41:21
and add it together. Make sure it adds
41:22
up to hopefully adds up to a 10 or
41:24
better.
41:25
>> Uh, yeah, it's it it's a 10 with the
41:28
plus one.
41:29
>> All right,
41:30
>> you add the old roll to it, right?
41:32
>> You do.
41:33
>> Oh, well then I'm way higher cuz it's a
41:35
Yeah.
41:36
>> Uh, so you you go ahead and you make
41:38
some cool flashy moves with the katana.
41:40
Uh, a couple of the guys flinch. Uh, you
41:42
then raise your handgun. Uh, and at
41:45
first it seems like it's going to jam
41:46
cuz you pull the trigger and nothing
41:48
happens. Uh, you then look at it, uh,
41:51
shake your head, hit it once with the
41:53
side of the, uh, the the Mal Katana and
41:56
then, uh, pull the trigger and just
41:58
waste another three of these kids. Like
42:01
they are just paced. Uh, so the one that
42:03
was in front of uh, Kit is gone. Um,
42:06
Kit, you are a little dirty now from the
42:07
backspl
42:10
little gross. Uh but your way is clear
42:13
now as the remaining group of kids are
42:17
well that was pretty much it. The only
42:19
other fight that's currently still
42:20
happening uh is uh between Luke and the
42:24
ball guy while the rest of you seem to
42:25
be relatively clear to make your way
42:28
towards the uh suspected uh place of
42:32
hiding I guess would be the best way to
42:34
put it.
42:35
Yeah, I think I heard the calm ping, but
42:37
it was kind of like in the back of my,
42:38
you know, in the back of my uh notice.
42:40
But now I see everybody kind of heading
42:42
that way, and I'm like cracked my neck.
42:44
I'm like, this has been fun, but I think
42:46
we got to finish this up. And I'm going
42:47
to take one more swing for this guy. I'm
42:48
going to put him out.
42:50
>> All right, go for it.
42:55
>> Uh, I'm not going to add the plus two
42:57
for my knuckles because I am trying to
42:59
knock someone out this time, not just
43:00
continue fist fights. So, it's only an
43:02
11. Only an 11. He says
43:05
>> only an 11. That is a success.
43:06
[laughter] So you you guys go for
43:09
another round as you uh clash back into
43:12
combat. Uh you're diving in and out.
43:14
You're you're doing sort of like the
43:16
boxer dance. Uh dodging jabs, dodging
43:20
uppercuts, giving your own back, trying
43:22
for cross hooks. uh until eventually
43:26
this guy winds up uh slipping a little
43:29
bit uh on what looks like what used to
43:32
be somebody's face. Uh it's that stumble
43:35
is enough for you to get behind him and
43:38
put him into a wrestling style sleeper
43:42
hold choke out. Um he's too muscular to
43:45
get his hands behind him to grab you. uh
43:48
which is probably the only benefit of uh
43:52
of this type of fight is the first one
43:55
of you that can get behind the other
43:56
one, their mobility is going to be
43:58
questioned. Um and you sit there and he
44:02
uh eventually he does tap like he gives
44:05
the tap, you let him go. Uh he slumps
44:08
down to his his uh knees, looks at you,
44:12
gives you a nod, and then just falls
44:15
over face first onto the ground. He is
44:17
out cold, not dead, unconscious.
44:20
>> I'm going to fist bump this guy before
44:21
he passes out and then uh casually walk
44:24
behind casually walk in everyone else's
44:26
wake uh lighting up a fresh smoke.
44:30
>> All right. Uh all of the henchmen have
44:33
been defeated. Uh and as you guys are
44:35
making your way towards the suspected
44:37
door, you find that you are correct. The
44:39
door slides open. Uh neon lights can be
44:42
seen in the background. Laser light show
44:44
lights are flying out of the door. uh
44:46
dry ice smoke comes boiling out uh and
44:50
out walks uh the blade back sheet uh
44:53
with three katanas, one in each hand and
44:57
one doing his best Zoro impression of in
45:00
the mouth of his mask. Uh and then uh
45:03
the NFT hound comes out and he is
45:06
completely disheveled. Uh he is in a
45:09
robe. The robe is open. He is in tidy
45:11
whiteies and like uh what looks like
45:14
giant fluffy slippers. Uh with his mask
45:18
still on, still showing in this case
45:20
that weird goofy uh legally distinct
45:24
goofy uh face with the the gold teeth,
45:27
the a crown, black eyes,
45:31
um and like this little tiny peashooter.
45:34
And in his other hand, he very clearly
45:36
has a an extremely large bottle of cheap
45:40
vodka in a plastic jug uh looking
45:44
scenario. Like he couldn't even afford
45:46
glass. This man went for like the
45:48
cheapest bottle of like potato whiskey
45:50
he could find. Uh and he just starts
45:52
like firing wildly um as he like comes
45:56
out of the room. Actually winds up
45:58
hitting one of the kids that's trying to
45:59
like escape. Just murders that kid
46:01
outright. Uh, and now we have what will
46:04
likely be the last form of combat and
46:06
confrontation. Uh, you have two enemies
46:09
in front of you. You have the blade and
46:11
you have the NFT hound.
46:15
>> So V is going to look at um at Boxy with
46:19
his katanas, look at her knives,
46:23
look back at Boxy, and decide to throw
46:26
them instead of closing to melee range.
46:30
>> Okay. Uh, you can go ahead and let's
46:34
see. That is going to be
46:40
>> I think probably
46:42
>> uh Yeah, it's probably going to be a
46:43
firefight still because you're throwing
46:45
something. I think that's probably going
46:47
to be the best
46:48
>> uh course of action.
46:50
>> All right,
46:51
here goes. Knife number one with a two.
46:55
I think I have juice, though, don't I?
46:57
>> I believe you do from a fail from
46:59
earlier. Would you like to use it? Yeah.
47:01
So, I just roll roll again.
47:03
>> You roll again and you add it together
47:05
with the previous roll and you just
47:06
needed to be above a 10.
47:08
>> It's against the side.
47:10
>> It's a four. So,
47:12
>> so
47:13
>> no quite not quite. uh you go to throw
47:16
the knives at uh at Bakshi uh and in
47:20
this moment you see him move uh with
47:23
incredible speed uh as he deflects it
47:27
not only back uh at you but like just
47:31
perfectly launching them. They fly
47:33
almost straight back. You're going to
47:35
take a wound as your own blade sinks
47:37
into your thigh.
47:41
All righty.
47:43
>> Who's next?
47:45
Uh Kit's going to pull out her handgun
47:47
and just say, you know, we're balling
47:50
now and get in a firefight and level it
47:53
at uh NFT Hound and just go.
47:59
>> Okay, go ahead.
48:01
>> That's a d10 for me.
48:06
>> Well, that's good. Is a is a nine with
48:08
the handgun. The plus one from the
48:10
handgun.
48:11
>> All right, so that is a mixed success.
48:13
Uh, you take a shot, you wind up hitting
48:15
him, which is good. You wind up dealing
48:18
a wound, which is good. Uh, but in
48:20
response, his hand jerks uh from being
48:24
shot and hits you as well as a shot
48:26
rings out from his little peashooter.
48:28
You're going to take a a wound as well.
48:34
Okay, next.
48:40
Oh, hello. You know how this is going to
48:44
go.
48:44
>> I I was waiting for my chaos gremlin to
48:47
weigh in. Please feel free. Well, you
48:50
know, this is uh this is as as as Colt
48:56
steps in and and he's watching this
48:58
absolutely not go the way that we were
49:00
planning for it to go. Um, he actually
49:03
holsters his gun and is just like, "Let
49:09
me, please, let me." And just steps
49:13
forward and shugs or shrugs off his
49:17
jacket. So now he's just in like jeans
49:20
and a bulletproof vest with a katana.
49:24
He does the like brush back of the hair
49:27
thing and then just raises one hand and
49:30
does the come on.
49:32
Heart eye emojis everywhere. [laughter]
49:35
>> All right. Well, you're you're
49:37
definitely this is going to count as
49:38
getting into a fist fight, so make that
49:40
make that roll.
49:42
All right. Here we go.
49:46
Okay. Um, so I rolled an 11 and the plus
49:52
three from the sword.
49:54
All right. So, you wind up breaking into
49:57
a full-out sprint as uh the the uh
50:01
Bakshi the blade uh starts doing the
50:03
same thing. Uh you meet there's a clang
50:06
of metal uh as you are furiously raining
50:09
blows upon his own swords. Uh he's
50:11
deflecting you pretty well uh up to a
50:14
point uh where he then tries to uh do
50:17
this really cool anime spin move uh only
50:20
for you to take a really like half a
50:22
step back and just like bop him in the
50:25
head uh real hard. You cut through the
50:27
mask um doesn't fall off. Part of it
50:30
starts shorting out. Um and you
50:33
definitely deal a wound to him. uh
50:36
combined from the wound he took earlier
50:38
that the Hound did not bother to uh heal
50:42
up in any way, shape, or form cuz why
50:44
would he? Um he starts to stumble a
50:48
little bit uh and starts to slow down.
50:50
The face mask then starts turning into a
50:53
calade of characters uh as it spins
50:56
through. Um, and if you've ever seen the
50:59
movie Cool World, you will have seen the
51:02
scene where they're in the bar uh and
51:04
there's a bunch of these weirdly drawn
51:06
uh cartoon characters. Cool World is a
51:08
Boxy film, by the way, just so you know,
51:10
in case you didn't know. Uh, and it
51:13
turns into the giant purple man's face
51:15
with the huge awkward, really unsettling
51:19
grin uh as he falls over and just bleeds
51:24
out from the the wound on his face. uh
51:26
combined with the wound that he didn't
51:28
have treated earlier and the blade is
51:30
out.
51:32
Uh NFT looks at this uh and you you
51:36
don't get to kill MY FRIENDS. ONLY I GET
51:38
TO KILL MY FRIENDS.
51:42
>> I keep getting more annoying.
51:46
>> Like you would think there would be a
51:47
floor here, but there's really not.
51:52
Shoot him in the head
51:55
>> as he's
51:56
>> I tried. I missed.
51:58
>> Uh, who's next?
51:59
>> I I would definitely like to shoot this
52:01
guy. I mean, I'm I'm tired of sneaking
52:04
around and just listening to him be like
52:06
this. I just wanted to shoot him.
52:07
>> Shoot him. [laughter] Shoot him so good.
52:09
I'm I should canonically be last of this
52:11
fight. So, yes, shoot him. God, shoot
52:13
him.
52:19
Roll me that d12 plus one.
52:22
>> That's a 10 on the d12 plus one. 11.
52:25
>> That is a wild success. Um
52:29
>> I went I went to shoot him in the middle
52:32
of that horrible mask.
52:35
[laughter]
52:36
>> Um okay. So that is uh his third wound.
52:41
Uh and because he is not a player
52:42
character, that will be his last wound.
52:44
Uh, Jen, in the middle of his uh,
52:47
rambling uh, inebriated
52:50
uh, tirade about how only he gets to
52:52
kill his friends, uh, you roll your
52:55
eyes, raise your gun, and squeeze the
52:58
trigger. Um, everything slows down as
53:01
the camera zooms in at the end of the
53:02
barrel, sees the the bullet fly out. Uh
53:06
the perspective shifts as it moves
53:08
through uh the side view uh back over
53:11
through to your point of view as the
53:14
bullet then uh projects itself forward.
53:17
The camera then zooms in on the bullet
53:20
as it goes through directly into the
53:23
middle of what would be his forehead if
53:24
that mask wasn't there. Um the head
53:28
snaps back. Uh the camera angle then
53:30
shifts to his perspective as the uh view
53:34
goes from all of you guys arranged
53:36
around him with Luke coming up from
53:38
behind uh to now all of a sudden there's
53:40
the ceiling to all of a sudden why is my
53:42
head on the ground to everything fading
53:45
to black uh and before uh he uh passes
53:50
into oblivion uh he very groggly uh
53:54
drunkenly uh says well then if if I
53:57
can't be the crypto So king nobody can
54:01
and pushes a button uh and explodes the
54:05
servers uh that were in the other room
54:07
and nobody cares. Uh in this moment uh
54:12
you have achieved full victory. Uh all
54:15
of your marks are dead. Uh and you have
54:19
essentially routed all of the kids that
54:21
you could. Some of them have died. Uh,
54:24
and you can collect your bounty. Uh, as
54:26
you're gathering up the the remains to
54:28
prove the uh the the kills, because
54:30
that's what you have to do in this
54:32
world.
54:33
>> Um,
54:33
>> I didn't I didn't think about how messy
54:35
this part was going to be.
54:37
>> Well, it's always a little bit messy,
54:39
but that's why you guys carry body bags
54:40
that are waterproof on you at all times.
54:42
You're bounty hunters after all and
54:43
professionals. Uh, and I air quote that,
54:46
professionals. Um, as you're making your
54:48
way out, you do find the control room.
54:50
Uh, that then opens up the doors. you're
54:52
able to open up the garage doors. Uh
54:55
there is one internally that then leads
54:56
into a garage space where you see uh
54:59
several vehicles, all of which are cyber
55:01
trucks. Um you see the one that he wrote
55:03
in on uh as well as what looks like a
55:05
Delorean that has been converted into a
55:08
single person starf fighter.
55:10
>> Oh my god.
55:12
>> Okay, so can we park the Delorean in the
55:15
ship, but we all get a cyber truck and a
55:17
baseball bat, right? Like I saw that
55:19
ancient movie Office Space. Let's go. I
55:21
have a crowbar. [laughter]
55:23
>> Uh, in this moment, you all take your
55:26
sweet, sweet time, uh, dismantling,
55:29
smashing, and crushing every single
55:32
cyber truck uh, that is inside of this.
55:35
Uh, it is a largely cathartic moment.
55:38
Uh, you then light several of them on
55:40
fire because why not? Uh, it's not very
55:43
difficult. They are made out of highly
55:44
flammable material because it is the
55:46
cheapest thing that they could find. Um,
55:49
and yeah, you can if you want to take
55:50
the Delorean, you are more than happy to
55:52
steal the Delorean. Um, nobody is going
55:55
to miss it.
55:56
>> Okay, but I got to find the clerk's hat.
56:00
>> Oh, that's true.
56:01
>> You do actually find the clerk's hat
56:02
inside of the uh inside of the panic
56:05
room on top of a mannequin's head
56:07
because of course it is.
56:11
>> Uh, and you guys can go make your way
56:13
back. You turn in the bounty. Uh, you
56:15
get another uh 600 double dollars for
56:19
the back sheet uh the blade and you get
56:22
1,800 double dollars or no sorry 800
56:26
2400 double dollars uh for the uh death
56:31
of uh the NFT hound as well as Liz,
56:35
let's see you make a manipulate somebody
56:38
role to add in those uh wonderful
56:40
charges for littering.
56:43
>> Okay. Well, I am a d6 on cool
56:49
[snorts]
56:52
>> help
56:53
>> and and I rolled a three.
56:56
>> Well, I heard that there was going to be
56:57
some help there. So, how does how does
56:59
Kit help?
57:01
>> Can I manipulate somebody by just being
57:04
really cute at the guard
57:06
>> like eyelashes behind her?
57:08
>> Roll manipulate somebody with sex
57:10
appeal. Okay, that's a d10 and a four or
57:15
a d4. And let's see how bad this is
57:17
because I'm probably bleeding
57:18
everywhere.
57:20
Oh, that's not bad. I rolled an 11.
57:23
>> Oh, yeah. No, they're they're perfectly
57:25
happy to dump on another uh they'll do
57:27
another hundred double dollars for each
57:29
of the bounties you turned in earlier
57:30
for the extra charge of littering.
57:32
>> Um they're perfectly happy with this. Uh
57:35
so zero issue there.
57:37
>> Got a high five kit.
57:39
>> High five's back.
57:41
[laughter]
57:41
uh paint Delorean pink.
57:44
>> You that is up to everybody on the
57:46
group, but I don't see a reason why it
57:47
can't be painted pink. Uh but you do get
57:50
the uh the Delorean back to your ship.
57:52
Nobody cares that you're taking it. Um
57:55
it literally is just at this point found
57:57
goods. Um
57:59
>> you were you were really going to have
58:00
to get this deep cleaned. I mean
58:02
>> Oh yeah. Mhm.
58:05
>> Yeah.
58:06
>> All detail and we're getting the whole
58:07
thing redone.
58:09
>> Yeah. Yeah, but at least it's a quality
58:10
vehicle.
58:13
>> True, true.
58:15
>> And probably worth quite a bit of money
58:17
if we had to sell it down the line.
58:19
>> Mhm. Luckily, I don't think we'll have
58:21
to for a while. At least flipping
58:23
through a stack of freshly cashed out
58:24
double dollars, handing everybody their
58:26
share. [laughter]
58:29
>> And with this, you retreat back to the
58:30
vessel. Uh, and I don't think we've
58:32
asked this before, Luke. What does the
58:35
ship look like as everybody starts
58:37
rolling back up on it to end their their
58:39
very eventful day?
58:42
>> Um, so I think this ship is extremely
58:45
unassuming looking from the outside
58:46
because I think this used to belong to
58:49
the same mining company that Luke used
58:51
to work for. Um, he may have taken it as
58:54
he left and they may have not pursued
58:56
charges uh to avoid any further
58:58
incidents. Um, so the outside it's just
59:02
it's this non like this non-impressive
59:05
lump of a ship, which is why he's always
59:07
looking at magazines for like newer,
59:08
hotter starships. Um, the inside I think
59:12
though, like the inside is a little
59:14
dingy. It's not well lit, but I think
59:16
like everyone has like their own little
59:17
quarter that they've kind of decorated
59:19
the way that they, you know, they've
59:21
they've made their little homes in this
59:22
in this mining vessel. Um, and but I
59:25
think the uh the heart of it is kind of
59:28
this open area that we've uh that I
59:30
think we're in when we started it.
59:31
Wherever we've got you, we got our big
59:32
screen on the wall. We've got, you know,
59:34
the rappers from uh Cole's Leftover Hot
59:37
Dogs. We've got like some parts where
59:40
Kit was probably working on something in
59:41
a corner that, you know, may or may not
59:43
have been broken uh as a result of
59:45
trying to hack something. So, um it's
59:48
it's dingy. It's a it's not super fancy,
59:51
but I think it's home.
59:54
And with that, as everybody settles in,
59:56
uh, Colt with a another fresh stack of
59:59
hot dogs that he received after uh, V
1:00:01
gave back the, uh, clerk his hat. Uh,
1:00:05
Kit with a brand new decked out deck uh,
1:00:08
all polished and shiny. Uh, Jen with a
1:00:11
new set of blades. Uh, sort of, you
1:00:14
know, fresh off their kills of of what
1:00:17
would wonderfully be uh, referred to as
1:00:21
the dregs of humanity.
1:00:23
uh and Luke settling in uh to their the
1:00:27
their captain seat, so to speak, at the
1:00:30
head of the table with V probably maybe
1:00:33
doing a little homemaking here because
1:00:35
she is still that that mom energy as
1:00:38
well. Uh maybe making sure everybody's
1:00:40
gotten a little bit more to eat. Not
1:00:42
bothering with Colt because, well, he's
1:00:44
already basically 80% nitrates at this
1:00:46
point. Why stop it now? Um, and the show
1:00:50
fades out as the camera credits roll,
1:00:53
uh, with everybody gathering around the
1:00:54
table celebrating an actual physically
1:00:57
nutritious home-cooked meal, uh, that
1:01:00
isn't just space pellets and rations,
1:01:03
uh, after their big success. Uh, and
1:01:06
then as it fades out, the TV pops on
1:01:09
again, uh, with the familiar tones of,
1:01:12
"Well, howdy there outlaws. It's time
1:01:15
