[00:00:00] The Remembrance ceremonies for last year's tragic fuel station disaster at the Ramov system went on with a somber success yesterday. Major delegates from the entire Helios community were in attendance paying their respects, including all current Pathfinder teams, especially

[00:00:20] those aboard the Wolfpack who valiantly rescued the survivors of that harrowing cataclysmic event. And in other news, the Athari, those enigmatic stowaways turned charitable infobrokers are making strides in their shared studies of the remnant installation known as The Crown.

[00:00:38] Dr. Arla Deshen, an Angaran astroarcheologist, has released several papers regarding major discoveries found locked away in the ancient Jardin datacirc with the Athari's digital prowess Who knows what else we may uncover that the ancient builders left behind? This is H&M

[00:01:00] Hi there and welcome to One Less Die, a Mass Effect D20 actual play podcast And we're here playing our Mass Effect campaign Wolfpack Season 2 So what does everybody remember from last time? I remember I exploded a guy with my axe You killed multiple guys

[00:01:23] Well I know but I mean like one shot was so severe I just one shot at him and he was like There was a lot of the neatest goredas going around To partially quote Caleb from RPPR A guy is singular and therefore incorrect

[00:01:40] You exploded a couple of guys I didn't want to take the spotlight I was just I think if there was a day where it's not going to have been Durga's day that would have been it

[00:01:56] I don't know if I'll ever hit a crate with my axe ever again I feel like this is just a We shall see Unless I upgrade it Yeah, I'm making it easier to correct with yeah Yeah, does anybody else know what happened last time?

[00:02:13] Needing to wait for error Yes, well you guys oh no you guys are yeah, so I guess I'll just recap All right go for it When he was actually like there live and there and saying it Basically you're going in there to um put down the

[00:02:32] The ret cannon beacon down there for um for Theo to biologically Falcon punch Yeah, I forget specifically what the target was It's so there's that massive like mountain-sized pyramid crystal in the center of the the city ship of the of the Xan

[00:02:53] Which houses their like hive cluster and like they're basically how they like And like how they exist and such and You discovered through the black box information from the from Uyama that Causing a biotic feedback loop within that crystal will kill the entirety of the Xan

[00:03:13] That are connected with that city ships crystal so Basically, you're you're you're pulling a trench run or like a very sneaky trench run. Yes um Because you guys realize that yo we have this thing the ret cannon that we can like biologically charge somebody like down to a

[00:03:31] planet That creates an immense amount of biotic energy that will probably Be enough to to create the catalyst to create the feedback loop so uh and when I think last time we left, uh Tommy had managed to very sneakily um take the take the backpack targeting um device

[00:03:58] To the the wall of that pyramid in the in the like kind of core area um And then man, it's just like set it up He's pretty sure it's good and ready to go and then sneak back just as stealthily back to the group

[00:04:13] And then we were basically we left it off there For you guys to contact the wolf pack and let uh and let uh, fio know that it's it's go time Didn't they kill like squad of enemies as well?

[00:04:24] Uh when they were when they left so when they left merk and the shuttle from the the one little hanger bay they found They on their way to the the core of the city ship They did encounter a a hallway full of guys and then

[00:04:39] Hence that's where we're talking about would and then durg and then durgas summarily exploded a bunch of them And the rest helped Um, so the you're pretty sure that the xan know you're there So they're probably looking for you guys Um

[00:04:57] But uh, yeah, we left off with you guys like basically like tommy had gotten back to the group That are you guys are all hiding out in like an alcove By the door from where from the hallway you guys have just come in

[00:05:08] To the like big expanse so like that's like at the uh the wall of the the mountain sized pyramid crystal And um, there's a bunch of there's a bunch of zen controlled aliens like angara zyclots

[00:05:22] Um all like do like monitoring like like doing routine checks and like and doing like uh Like search it seems like they're searching around and they're They're um, they're looking at terminals and such um

[00:05:35] But uh, yeah, it's we're approaching the end uh as far as you guys can tell uh of Finally defeating the xan so Um Who's gonna who's gonna try and contact who's gonna contact the uh the wolf pack? To let him know Who's our con's guy?

[00:05:53] So we got uh the people down on the surface are derga Uh lia and tommy so which one of you guys wants to contact the the wolf pack To send theo down. I think tommy should do it Why why me? Because you have the funniest fucking character

[00:06:13] Plus you have the the device you're the one planting it. Yeah, you've already Yeah, okay, you had planted last time so yeah Yeah, so you're gonna contact the wolf pack Um Okay, so you you go to contact them on your omni tool um and you guys get static

[00:06:42] and Seems like there's some kind of communications interruption or distortion on your on your omni tools uh, and that's when the Wow, none of you are pathfinders. I just realized so like yeah

[00:06:57] You guys try contacting even try contacting sammy and you guys can't get a get a word from sammy at all either Can we contact americ? um You try contacting americ and that's also static shit Uh, so Yeah, he is a pathfinder. Yeah, well, uh, well crick cricks on

[00:07:15] No, no america america america prospective like lia kind of um crick is there. I'm gonna say crick tries using him hang on guys Well, hang on guys. I'll try and uh, I'll try and contact uh, I'll try and contact sammy

[00:07:27] Uh, and then he like just like starts like saying something like like hey sammy you there and then His his uh, his vortra face kind of gets a frown. You don't know how it happens Uh, and he's like guys, I think we're fucked

[00:07:42] The uh, the um, I can't I can't get I can't get a hold of sammy or anybody out the wolf pack So, um, who wants to roll uh an electronics? Yeah, that's probably me I mean

[00:08:00] I'm kind of the electronics anybody can roll it like if they have if you guys have a ranks and you guys can roll it Yeah, I'll just I'm supposed to do Mm-hmm. I would just end up smashing it with my robot arm because I do not have tech

[00:08:14] Yeah Well, this is more of like a knowledge like what the situation is kind of thing 19 I rolled a four a plus 15 god damn it A tip I rolled so high and we'll just oh So excited for you. You're gonna play good tonight. You're gonna play good tonight

[00:08:32] 21 from uh from tommy. Okay The dice roll knows i'm waking up Yeah, so lia and tommy you're like, okay. We can't get communications So for both of you guys if I realize that it's probably the communicate either Either the zan have put up some kind of a

[00:08:50] Um, so i'm sort of a like an interruption Barrier um over the city ship or you guys are really close to their main like kind of communications array and like powery core and stuff like that

[00:09:02] With the crystal the giant wall of crystal being right next to like like in the same Expensive room that you're you're in So maybe that's interfering with your communications array even the quantum entangled sammy um communications so

[00:09:19] You guys could either you you you noticed this last time when you guys were like going down the hallways like getting deeper and deeper into the the city ship there were

[00:09:29] Um, there was some interference kind of building up and there are some interference some interference happening when you were Talking with sammy and in fact sammy was basically only able to like send you guys way points Of where to go so

[00:09:42] You could probably either go back the way you came um and And see if you can get a strong a better signal because they The uh the targeting buoy the the targeting device is is placed and set up you just need to tell um

[00:10:01] But you just need to contact the wolf pack and tell them to fire fire away Or You could try and get over to one of the terminals that are in this route this giant like expansive room that you're in

[00:10:15] Where there are zanzi zan zan possessed zyclots and ningara monitoring and like patrolling And see if you can hack into their their terminal systems To either like shut down their their communications array or use their own communications array to contact the wolf pack

[00:10:35] The choices are up to you I mean if we literally go running back in barric we can literally just get in the shuttle and run That's true too However The thing is like if this doesn't work out and feo teleports down

[00:10:50] He that's he's basically going to be left alone inside the city ship full of enemies For a little while we'll see we'll see him go in Nothing happened and go oh and have to go in for him. Yeah, that's true. Yeah Okay, so Okay, so yeah

[00:11:11] Or you could just like one person back Our couple of people back not everyone that's true. Yeah. Yeah, you don't have to send you don't all have to go You could split the party And as we know that always goes well Yeah

[00:11:25] It would derga can derga can hold his own in melee. So I'll guide think Really want to watch that crystal blow up though But do like a good challenge. So I think I'll I'll split and I'll go I know I know josh, it's I know so tommy. Sorry

[00:11:45] So derga's gonna go back and uh the way he came Was that yes? What specifically am I doing though? So you have to my your your communications like currently your omni tool isn't functioning because there's interference

[00:11:58] So you need to keep you need to basically backtrack down the hallways that you came before until the either To see if like the community if it's just because like you guys are so close to the core of the city ship or

[00:12:12] That because they've they've erected some kind of a barrier for communications Is pretty kind of better omni tool than I do he does have a sam node So like or he has the implant for sammy

[00:12:22] So he would just like hijack him whenever we get there because there's technically two of us Yeah, yeah, he's technically a being a backpack while you run Do this I like it Let's do it

[00:12:38] What did we do last time where it was like we were we just during between games when uh adam said he wasn't gonna be here It was like Hack hack hack slash. I could be your backpack while you axe Basically, yeah

[00:12:49] All right, like x x x a double tap forward a x Yeah, yes Okay, so if the rest of you guys are gonna stay where you are Um, I have a question for the people that are going to stay behind before uh, durga is running off

[00:13:06] Are any of you guys going to try and like check their their terminals or anything like that? Or are you guys just gonna like huddle down and and stay hidden from the uh, the patrols Because there are quite there's at least a few dozen Zyclots and angara

[00:13:21] Being controlled by the zan roaming around this this large like It looks like it would be like the ring around this giant mountain So it goes for like a couple of kilometers in either either direction Um, and there's just like dozens of people there

[00:13:37] Question. Yes, we if someone wanted to do that like josh, for example Could he also sneak around or would it just be like automatically obvious? It would be a stealth

[00:13:47] It would be a move hide and move silently and then to let to get to like to sneak around Like if you guys just want to like huddle down and hide from like everybody until durga Makes the call It'll just be a simple hide and move silently check

[00:14:02] Um, if one of you guys wants to go to a terminal that person's got to do a hide and move silently and then a hacking role To fiddle around with there with the terminal and not get like, you know, not what happened last time in the remov system

[00:14:16] How do you feel about that josh? I mean, I do have tactical cloak You're gonna play real good tonight, but I just got a feeling it's gonna be real good I still Leah doesn't have the uh, the jack of all trades. Uh, feet. Does he or does she?

[00:14:33] Like I do is roll back Want her to you know what I commend you for that josh. Yep. Also, you have your baron too. So Plus one on any roll

[00:14:46] That baron's also gonna have to make a hide and move silently by the by because uh, it's it's a dog like creature Yes, this is That's um

[00:14:56] Yeah, so yeah, what do you guys want to do like? Yeah, so we're gonna have you guys roll first before durga does any of his rolls and stuff Um I'm gonna have both that type of cloak. We could both sneak over there and you can cover me

[00:15:13] Yeah, I assume I'm better at hacking but he's probably better at you know, moving Yeah Yeah mark I'm here Yeah, let's let's get her done Okay, who do we just lose who do we lose in the game again?

[00:15:32] Sorry, my mute button is right next to disconnect and my fingers are okay. No worries I All right, so so if if helo or sorry if lea and tommy are going to Um head over to one of the terminals to like hack it

[00:15:50] Um, then you guys need to roll a hide and move silently first Uh, and I think you guys get like a plus you guys get a bonus because of your tactical cloaks It's a plus 10 to hide Jesus christ, okay Is it a plus 10 to that?

[00:16:03] It plus 10 plus whatever the hell you have in hide I should probably have pulled up the uh Oh, I did pull up the the the pdf for the game sweet That's christ has got you Yep. Okay, so it would be hide plus 10

[00:16:23] I'm rolling like shit. Thank god that was at least high Okay, we're off to a great start 15 Love it Or hide Okay 20 I'm scared now. Oh, fuck me I'm good. Something good. Something good. Okay 21 for move silently

[00:16:48] Okay, hang on a second. I'm good. So give me a second while I'm just gonna find these guys Hides in their spot and checks going to do like an overall like spot and listen from for the uh

[00:16:58] The people around you. Oh, they're gonna fucking save it. Um, okay, so what did you guys get for hides? I got a screen. I'm the lower I got a bear A you got a what would you guys get for hides? Oh, you

[00:17:16] All right, and what do you guys get for sorry, what would you guys get for move silently? 21 21, okay 16 16 okay, see me but here mark so Uh, so you guys are heading over to the nearest terminal. Um after like one of the like after one of the uh,

[00:17:33] A zyclot walks by and like like the on his routine like they've been they've kind of been like in a pattern Like they do like kind of a routine Check of certain areas and stuff. So you kind of are able to like

[00:17:45] sneak by them and like get over to the uh To the uh the terminal there. Um, there's a pretty rich pattern Yeah, there yeah, there was a pretty range pattern and stuff It seems um figure out the ai passing of them. Yeah, basically

[00:18:01] Um, yeah, it's like that it's like that game from like legend of zelda or crana time where you have to like Like wait for them to go like the one corner and then you like go to the next column

[00:18:10] Suddenly everything goes like ever something you're you got a bird's-eye view of the of the layout of the place So, you know where they're like cone of of visc- cone of of perception is Uh, but no, um, you guys get over to the terminal

[00:18:26] Uh, and so I want Whoever's using whoever actually is going to access the terminal roll a hacking check and then the other person needs to roll a spot check Okay Oh, yeah spot check Yeah, right. I forgot I did not make her to be a hacker

[00:18:45] That's a train scale but shit done into it Nine fuck me. I am rolling like dog shit I rolled Okay, so lia is the one that's hacking or trying to hack the terminal that's what's happening Um, you hang on

[00:19:10] Let's take a look at the hack. Let's look at the what hacking is in this game. Um Okay, so you're you're trying to like access it unfortunately because you don't have sammy's um

[00:19:21] Aid to like translate like you're you have like the basic uh translator on your on your omni tool and it's it's being a little Uh, I mean you guys haven't gotten a full

[00:19:31] Layout of the of the zyclot language or the xan language whatever is on your omni tool So you're kind of like Some of the uh, some of the coding and stuff is it's kind of spotty For your uh for you to understand

[00:19:42] You're having you're having a bit of trouble there lia Um, tommy as your as you're like kind of scoping around like make while while she is on the terminal You notice almost immediately. There is a zyclot. Um Breaking his pattern and like

[00:19:59] Not not like going like be lining for your for where you guys are but is going in in your coming in your direction Looking around as if he's like he saw something suspicious Uh, so you're both cloaked but Clearly somebody noticed you guys or like noticed a shimmer

[00:20:17] Um move like move like in the in the direction of this terminal when you guys uh, when you guys uh, snack over So he is uh approaching to investigate So Yes, um Would you want to try again, uh lia if I have time with the minus one

[00:20:40] You get a minus one just one guy coming at at mark just one guy. Yeah, well they're coming toward uh, tommy and lia and lia Get ready to ambush one of them. That's more feeling 21

[00:20:52] 21 and that's what the minus one right? Yes that I gave you okay. Um, all right, so you managed to uh, you're you're like sweating a little bit and you start accessing it and You think you've got access to

[00:21:06] The uh, their archives and like their uh, their their uh, their infrastructure Controls um, so there apparently is a broadband, um message being going out across the city ship saying that something about um Uh heretics among us Uh, we must prepare

[00:21:28] The beacon to summon the giroth and defeat our enemies from orbit Um, that's kind of what you're like there's that message is kind of going off across the entire Zan uh city ships on zycalas, uh like public public broadcasts

[00:21:47] Uh something along those lines again, it's kind of in a different language and your your omni tool is trying to translate it for you. Um And uh other than that though you you managed to like siph through siph through and find um It looks like

[00:22:03] You can contact the wolf pack from here if you want Um, however, it's going to be another very tricky uh hacking or not hacking roll a decryption roll to ensure that it doesn't Get intercepted by zan by the zan that are in the system already

[00:22:24] When do we say intercepted do you actually mean they'll stop it or they'll just no like they'll they'll see it and they'll be able to Track where you are in the city ship see

[00:22:33] And you don't know how long it'll take like the the zand to be eliminated or like for this for this operation to go so Yeah Could take seconds could take a few minutes and that that could be all all that it needs to be done

[00:22:45] Before like you guys get overrun by a bunch of enemy forces I've seen the red cannon fired haven't I? You have yeah It does take a few it does take a few minutes to prep up Hey, josh

[00:23:00] Next time you roll your dice use your opposite hand that you usually use I know you do digital but just try that the opposite hand that you vap it Yeah, you guys want me to use my right Feels like someone else is doing it

[00:23:17] I need to sit on wow Um, but yeah, um as you're as you're doing as lia's doing that Um, yeah, tawny that got that one zyclot is approaching your area. Do what do you want to do? um

[00:23:32] Do you want to let it do you want to try and like high do you want to try and hide again? Like see like you like basically like move out of the way or do you want to try and like ambush him in some way

[00:23:43] Okay, so he's walking right towards us Yeah Like he's investigating the terminal you guys are at Okay, I think what i'm going to try and do is i'm going to try and hide again Okay, are you going to warn me? However? Yes, I am going to warn you

[00:24:03] We should probably hide All right, let's roll hide again Uh, it so uh, yeah, tawny can roll as normally lia If you want to do anything on that terminal before you go and hide your hide will be slightly harder to do because you're kind of like

[00:24:19] Be you have to doing like you're it's going to be a more difficult Check because you're doing your multitasking Or like you're like last minute like putting in a message and then like hiding Yeah, I'm almost waiting. We'll just leave in the computer as is before like

[00:24:36] Yeah, you can do that too and then hide and then come back after he leaves Yeah, you can try that and see Yeah, the concern is just like oh the laptop's open close Yeah, exactly Yeah, I rolled a 15 chris Okay

[00:24:53] I'm gonna try to just hide. I don't like my odd so far of rolling Mm-hmm Try with the left 29 Okay Fuck you guys. So um Yeah, as uh the the zyclot um

[00:25:18] Makes this approach you guys both like go and hide basically behind like some stuff and like the terminal itself like just behind it There's some like waste high But like crates or like or devices Around the terminal you guys can try and like sneak behind um

[00:25:34] With your tactical cloaks and stuff activated still And this uh the zyclot begins searching around the terminal He is still kind of suspicious it seems so we'll cut away from that scene that very tense scene to um durga and uh and a an mpc version of crick

[00:25:53] So, uh, uh, I'm running back. Yeah going as fast as I can without being exhausted You're gonna need to roll a survival for me bud. Uh because uh, you don't look you don't have uh

[00:26:05] The the waypoints. So you got to remember where you came how you came the how which way you came Okay, I mean he's got the Oh, did he take the verin? I would have given it to him if he's with the room to tell

[00:26:18] That's you know, that's fair. Um, okay find americ. Uh, what would that mean? Uh, you get a plus two. Uh, you can have a plus two on the verin. Yeah Okay 16 total Okay, um, so you

[00:26:34] The verin uh like kind of moves goes up ahead a couple like a little like an out of sight for a moment But then as soon as you like turn the corner

[00:26:42] You you ran for like a few minutes and you see that he's like lapping up the blood of the the gore pile that you guys left In the hallway. So you you made it back to that part You made it back to the uh the the gore pile

[00:26:56] I just stop and give it a nod and go. Yeah, that's goddamn right Um, and then I keep moving. Yeah, uh, well roll a uh listen check and uh, yeah Let just listen check as you're as you're running um This 10 there is this 10

[00:27:11] This 10 is what the back? Oh, it's on the wrong side Uh, uh 18 18 okay. Um, you hear um rapid footsteps approaching you. Um They haven't like turned that you that you can't see them yet like down the corridors and such

[00:27:34] But you do see a few corridors like there's a few alcoves and stuff of that uh near you that you could hide in Or you could be a krogan and take them on it's up to you

[00:27:45] I've been stoned hide. We're too big to hide the second we like rustle around like we bump something that just Fucks us. Anyway, no, I'm gonna be krogan. I am krogan. Okay, so Uh, yeah, you know that there's uh some heavy footballs approaching your your your area

[00:28:01] Do you want to try your before you go into a combat? Do you want to try and see if you can contact anybody? Uh, yeah That will be a uh electronics role to around with your

[00:28:16] The fiddle around with the uh the the frequencies on your on your omni tools like tuner I'm not i'm not trained in that So can I like use or not use but can sam help me out here on this? Sam is disconnected from you right now

[00:28:32] You haven't been that's who you're trying to act Okay, oh shit, so it's gonna be a straight int. Uh, yeah, it will be Which is a Okay, it's a plus one I got a plus one for my modifier. So I will see Okay 14 14 Yeah, okay. Okay. Um

[00:28:57] Merrick you get a call Like or uh, you you you you managed to enter you you uh, you find you get a frequency or like somebody Uh tries to contacting or like is going on one of your frequencies Oh, it's contacting yourself Well finally fuck Hello

[00:29:17] This is dirga, uh thing and I got backpack crick on and uh things are just really bad We need to be able to access sam we need some backup and

[00:29:29] We need to be able to destroy this crystal asap before they summon the goddamn monster from the elder realms or whatever Uh from the where I'm sorry I don't know. It's just very metal. It's like something that like nerds from like the early 2000s did There's

[00:29:53] I think there was like a giant squid guy who had wings, but he was like the size of fucking the Chrysler building in new york. I don't know It's bad. It's really bad Anyways, I'll be right there Okay, um

[00:30:06] Combs right now. I don't remember you have comms with the wolf pack You don't have this is the first time you've been able to actually get access like get communications with them you Could contact the wolf pack Yes, I just love the fact we sent Chris out

[00:30:25] To try and contact Theo And he could have told me yeah, yeah No, we need you Well, no, here's the thing you guys couldn't contact anybody because you were so far away You're so you're so deep into the city ship. Everybody cool. It's like mark the try

[00:30:43] Yeah, you know he could have he could have well at the same time I think I'll also be like, you know, is there any way that we can access Sam so that we can triangulate which direction we need to specifically go

[00:30:53] I mean, you know the way you came from yeah, I have access to Sam right now. What do you need? We need to locate this crystal. So you're looking for like an incredibly odd uh and strong, um Um mass effect I'm I'm gonna stop right there

[00:31:12] Bionic strength. Do we not know that? I know what you're trying you have to basically you have to target the um the retcons like targeting backpack That is next to the crystal Okay Next to the retcon. We need we need a waypoint to the to the retcon cannon

[00:31:30] Um, okay Sorry, I completely forgot that it was like right next to it and like oh Yeah, we walked into the room. Um, saw people around it Are cloaked put the beacon down beside it And that's what we left off

[00:31:46] Um, are we good to go to send Theo down should I contact him? Uh, do you want to roll a Are you are you talking to that? Are you telling are you asking Durga that or are you asking Sammy that I'm asking Durga

[00:31:58] Sammy doesn't know uh, he's got a pretty has he's got a pretty hefty uh biotic punch uh, that's uh, you know And make a certain krogans pretty wet in the quad soon on the day Oh my moist I don't moist right right right that's right moist

[00:32:20] Am I are we ready to send the payload or not? Yeah, bear bear mind Durga you you probably know at this point that um, Merrick doesn't do well with sense motives No, at all He does not He's he's bold he is boldest drac a little bit. Yeah

[00:32:43] I guess yeah wearing those masks would really take away your ability to like read your own species faces It's fine and yeah, um, yes affirmative Mr robot bunny hamster man So cute whenever you take your helmets off

[00:33:03] Would you know anyways, um, okay wolf pack this is a picture Um Yeah, uh, Theo do you want to answer this Aaron? Very Do you want to do want to be the one that picks up? You're you're kind of like you've been waiting for like

[00:33:20] For like an hour or so Since they went down to the planet for like to for the ret cannon thing So like do you want to be the one that replies back or? No, no, I'm not the one who answers because uh

[00:33:30] I was thinking a nap they were taken too long Okay, you're you get a very loud like knock on your door Back up on the wolf pack. Theo um punishers like wake up

[00:33:41] They're they finally made it ride the door open. I'm there in just a leopard print speedo She blushes and then shakes her head and's like Theo get your get your shit on we're going it's go time finally Oh

[00:34:00] It's hot on the ship. Is it hot in here? She just like walks away Like that's how you would have gone with all right the copa So so yeah, I assume you're you're getting your shit together and stuff Yes, okay

[00:34:21] Um, so that's gonna take a few minutes like probably about five minutes or so But you stop bitch So, um, we we so we cut back over to um To the uh the core uh the city core Um, so the zyclot this giant lumbering three-legged

[00:34:42] Uh kind of knuckle dragged like armed like creature with one eye Uh glowing that violent violent energy from the zan that's controlling its mind It looks over trap side

[00:34:55] No, it's much bigger. It's it's honestly like a like a like a bully mong from uh, I was kind of envision like Yeah, I kind of like picture is like a bully mong sort of thing but with like three legs um And um

[00:35:10] It it looks down at the terminal and like basically turns it off and then It notice uh you it seems to notice something Behind the terminal and I need Tommy to roll a reflex A reflex Yeah reflex save

[00:35:27] Okay, it's kind of loading right now. Give me one moment Okay, where's my reflex? Where's my reflex save? To the top Right under where it says reflex save Oh, okay That actually helped Been a couple weeks It's first page right above the skills on the left

[00:35:52] So I have a total and a base save Total and the ability mod Yeah, so a reflex should be the total that you're like you're you're adding the total to the d20 The base save plus the ability mod equals the total so yeah a roll plus the total

[00:36:10] Okay The number on the far left. Yes It's backwards. I know it's strange It's yeah Look, I'll find I'll try and find another mass effect system to use that's 13 No

[00:36:24] In that orientation just so it's like reflex save that's the number. It's right beside it. You don't have to scroll to the end You know Yeah, okay, so let me think simplified

[00:36:34] So Tommy you he the this zyclot goes to grab your leg because it was slightly out of the like like slightly moving and out of the Like kind of out of out of the hiding spot that you were in

[00:36:45] Um, like but it's so cloaked right so he just saw this shimmer and he like, huh? That's weird. He went to go grab it and you managed to shirk away Um, so that he just grabs air

[00:36:58] I need both you and Leah now to roll a hide and move silently To avoid detection further Otherwise we're going to enter a combat Mark use your opposite hand. It's been working So we're gonna roll a hide

[00:37:18] Yeah, hide and move silently for Leah and and mark or not mark Tommy. Sorry. What the hell? It's because mark america. Yeah Yeah All right hide 21 move silently 13 Okay Hi Chris hi Chris Uh, 21 is my move silently. Okay. What's your what was your hide?

[00:37:58] 21 they're both 21. Oh wow, okay Um, all right, so he He goes looking around like he goes you basically are you guys are basically like moving around the terminal and like the

[00:38:12] The large like waist high devices and stuff of that around the the terminal and around the uh the area you're in kind of like the when like uh like as he's like kind of looking in like in that area and you guys are managing to avoid detection um

[00:38:26] and He think you he like his he doesn't they don't have ears like that like like humans or uh, Or quarians have like they don't have like an out like kind of an outer ear or anything like that They have just the or if they do

[00:38:40] It's just covered up by the the crystalline quills that are on their their head and face but um It like perks up a little bit and then after a very tense few moments he Uh, it seems like he gives up and begins walking away um

[00:38:59] So you have managed to narrowly avoid detection Um So and and he begins he begins walking back to where he was uh, he was patrolling so

[00:39:15] What is it you guys would like to do now that you're you're you're safe and hidden right now, but what would you like to do? Check the terminals see what him turning it off dude Okay, roll another hacking buddy other fucker This is what I was afraid of

[00:39:33] Mm-hmm. It's it's it's almost like it's a an alien uh computer device It shouldn't be on click once more feeling Don't be potato salad Are you total? Okay. Uh, yeah, you managed to like basically like he turned it off and then you managed to flick it back on

[00:40:02] Um, you look over to him to see if he like notices that it's turned back on and he just he's keep walking uh to his patrol You're looking around it doesn't seem like there's anybody else is noticing you guys are noticing the activity that's happening so

[00:40:16] um, yeah, you keep working it seems like um Uh, you actually see there's a new broadcast or a new um, a new message pops up um

[00:40:29] It's like rejoice brothers and sisters the heritage one of some of the heretics have been found and we are in the process of eliminating them And um Then it continues on with some other like news like kind of like other like situational like public

[00:40:48] Messages and stuff like that. Um, it seems like their their computer system Has like a public forum that like various Beings like various zan controlled beings from across the city Like reply to like reply to these like public announcements and stuff like that

[00:41:05] It's kind of odd because you would expect like if they're a hive mind they would Already know 100 like like like they would know whatever everybody else knows But they're using like this public access sort of like announcement system to relay information

[00:41:22] So maybe the the way their hive mind works, it's not like as thorough as you as you guys originally thought Forum is called or like oh they strive for individualism They have their own version of pbs basically, yeah um, but yeah Yeah, uh, but yeah, you can um

[00:41:45] Uh, you with the the terminal again, you're able to like um try and access the their communications array and see if you can Conate the wolf pack because you don't know what's going on with derga or uh, or america. So I'll roll that decryption Yep Wow

[00:42:08] All right, so you you send a message up to the wolf pack through their communications array um Let's see if punisher even noticed like is able is able to notice it. I have a question Um, yes

[00:42:24] How long did it take derga to run out of far enough away to actually get a signal to contact maryc aka How long has this been going on with this um message go out before I sent one up as maryc

[00:42:38] Uh, i'm actually gonna say this is probably going to be in time with like because like it took about five ten minutes For derga to arrive to where you guys are at and they've been hide like

[00:42:47] I know it no like because in game because we're playing a game It seems like it's going on like instantaneous, but like what's been going like they're hiding They're kind of cat and mouse with that one's like a lot took a few minutes

[00:42:58] So yeah, it's it's definitely like this is a good this this message is going to come out shortly after derga sends out that message to america so um, it's very possible that like punisher is reacting to either or

[00:43:12] Back on the wolf pack. So when when he when she uh, she banged on on the On the theos door fine based on time both Like everyone involved will think that they sent the message. So it's fine. Yeah, everyone wins. Yes Yes

[00:43:28] So let's see here. What's her electronics? Or what's her her not electronics pressure noticing I guess? um Okay, so yeah a few moments go by like again you're looking around leah It's nerve wracking because you're in enemy territory in every sense of the word um

[00:43:50] There's just this like there's this wall of crystal. Um in front of in front of this tournament like Beyond this terminal that you're on that's just thrumming with some kind of weird energy

[00:44:00] um that feels familiar to your biotics, but like also not familiar like it's it's or on a magnitude much larger than your biotics Because it's like the collective energy of like of a species Um, and uh, eventually you get a mess a crackled message comes in it's like

[00:44:21] Uh from from punish ours, uh, uh comms. Uh, it's just like Hello Leah Prove it that's good enough for me I actually don't hang on roll roll a diplomacy Oh, because i'm just great at this well 12 Yeah, that's good enough

[00:45:11] Uh, yeah, you're you're you're like flummox like because how do I it's like okay. Yeah, you're you're leah um well Oh, um Where are you guys? I Is is the device ready? Yes. Okay. Um, hang on and there's like a moment. Um Roll roll spot check leah

[00:45:40] Also, tommy roll spot check God dammit And 23 I don't like the fact this left hand thing that's working Mm-hmm. Oh wow 24 yeah, you're you're noticing that like there are some zen controlled angara and zyclot like moving by so

[00:46:16] And you're still waiting uh, helo sir or leah to um for for a response from uh from uh From punish are so You might want to try and hide again

[00:46:40] Back over the console so I guess rolling yeah, just just a hide you don't do a roll move silently just to hide 21 Damn, okay. Yeah, which makes sense honestly like his tommy didn't really move where he was So he's already wow

[00:46:55] I'm gonna say with that roll there uh leah is just like she just stayed still and the the uh the outline of her her cloak Just kind of like vanished So you're just in front of the terminal and and the angara group

[00:47:08] Just walked by and like didn't even notice you at all. I just think that's not as high as I can get I know um And then like after like again another like a cold sweat of a minute goes by and

[00:47:24] You hit you hear a message again from from punish are on the terminal itself because that's how you're communicating with her um Is like okay sammy is saying that like we're able to get a somewhat of a signal from the the beacon but like

[00:47:37] It's pretty it's pretty uh pretty weak. Um Could you Try and boost it somehow or like weaken their could shut down their communications array

[00:47:52] um for a few for a few moments so that we can send uh, so we can get the signal and then send uh, send theo down I know this is scary, honey, but Like I believe in you Start to try You you got this and then she says

[00:48:10] she she says um Little flower like you've got this little flower And you've heard that you've heard her say that to you before like when she was like when when you were in the med bay and um like

[00:48:25] Like potentially like uh infected or like hurt or like heart or hurt from like when you guys like landed back from uyama Um, she like held you and like and like comforted you and called you little flower like under her breath

[00:48:40] Uh in uh in in the asari language, but you managed to like translate what she was saying or like later but so Yeah, she she seems uh, she seems like Very sincere and and compassionate towards like your your goal here. So um

[00:49:01] But yeah, I want to want to roll that uh that hacking roll Oh, motherfucker. You've got to hack the planet or in this case a cityship What's inspiration do I gain from her calling me that?

[00:49:17] You know what actually, I'll you know what I'll make a roll. I'll make it a prophecy roll um Wow one You get a you don't it It's nice words, but you don't get any bonus from it Sorry man, I roll the seven

[00:49:42] Yeah, it's like what you're you're you're you're you're just kind of confused like she said that again. Why does she keep saying that to me? All right, dammit All right left hand You let me down left hand Hand total it's not possible a total Uh, okay, um

[00:50:04] The system, um You try to like exit like go deeper into their system to like access the uh their their communications core And it locks out on you You need to roll another hacking check to not get detected On left hand 12 fuck Um

[00:50:38] Tommy without even rolling a spot check you see that a a couple of um Angara like that that group of angara that that walked by you guys and is now like a few like probably about like 50 70 meters away from you guys or 50 70 feet away from you guys um

[00:50:54] They they get a notification on on like a device they have or like uh, or they they stop and they They begin like turning and like looking in your direction and begin Approaching cautiously right here in this group Uh, there's like three

[00:51:12] Um as they as they begin approaching they haven't they're not like again They're not like they're they're not they haven't raised their weapons yet, but they're they're heading that in that direction because they've

[00:51:20] They've been alerted that something has happened to that term. I'm just keep moving. I'm just gonna keep doing the stealth the stealth method Okay roll hide musantle um Leah you can try it again, uh a uh the the the hacking role Um

[00:51:37] But you'll have a harder time hiding and move silently when the if they come and investigate awesome or you can try and hide Okay Or leah you can hide and move silently as normal and try and find another terminal to to shut off their system

[00:51:55] I mean, there's gotta be another way other than just hacking into their system. Just trying to figure out what it is Yeah, um 22 for hide 22 for hide okay, so you yeah, you are you are stealthed like tommy is

[00:52:08] Yeah, you are you are like one with that tactical cloak Um, so uh, I'm looking for some important to me. Yeah um, leah if you want to roll a uh electronics, um That might be something you could you might be able to find something other than a

[00:52:27] Uh a terminal to hack you might be able to find something that you can like Shut down or something in this in this room in this chamber 19 Total for electronics a 19. Okay

[00:52:38] Um before you got locked out of the system, you did kind of get a layout of their of their city ship and stuff like that um You do know um A bit of a ways off

[00:52:50] Down down the ring of expansive room that you guys are in. Um, there is a uh Basically a relay device that if you were to violently destroy or violently mouth. Uh, if it was to violently malfunction Um will likely shut down their systems for a while

[00:53:09] Or for a few for a few moments What so but you have to get over there Can I see it from where I am right now? You don't see it

[00:53:19] You know that you you have like a basic map layout of this of this area from like uh from the terminal you saw Like from from the terminal you were accessing so you know where it is But you need to like go over to it

[00:53:31] And it is a bit of a ways uh from where you guys were positioned. I'm going to try and make my way to it then I can't tell Tommy I mean you guys actually you're with it when you guys are like this close range

[00:53:43] You guys can communicate through your omni tools and stuff Excellent say hand signals. Yeah, that's what we're using. Yeah hand signals. Yeah, or hand signals would also wait Hand signals when you're tactical clothes I don't know what I want God damn it I tried

[00:54:01] I marked that's exactly what I was thinking too Nice, okay, so um So, uh, yeah, um you can roll a uh Again hide and move silently to get over to that location um and uh

[00:54:20] Tommy I want you to roll a spot check also to like notice where where where leah is going I That's your hide my hide Okay, okay. I'll roll my spot check Silently it's a natural 20 Damn. Yeah, you are you are quiet 18 Okay, um, so

[00:54:52] The good news is that uh, Tommy notices the the shimmering of the tactical cloak From leah as she is just Quite like silently walking away from the terminal. She was at and where those guys were where those angara were investigating

[00:55:09] um, and had it seems to be heading down along the like like down the core this this large It's it's several meters across or it's several it's like several dozen feet across

[00:55:21] um this this uh this expansive room that and it just kind of goes off like a like down a uh Down a large stretch and that's where she's heading is and there's a couple of of angara and zyclots moving around

[00:55:33] But they don't seem to be noticing either of you um So you can follow her Tommy uh as she she heads over to the um, uh the the device But we'll get back to that in a second Um Durga Yes, sir

[00:55:54] Uh, you are about to be you're there are three there are a couple of There's a couple of people about to uh, um Encounter you Um, and you don't want to hide much bigger

[00:56:08] Uh, I don't want to hide. Nope. Nope. That's gay. Okay. I'm not I'm not hiding uh, all right, so um You I guess you were just prepping for a fight Yeah, but before like did they notice that there's anybody in my back?

[00:56:23] Like can I quickly like just like put crick in a corner? Like is he like is he awake like are we mpc? Yeah, he's awake. Yeah, he's mpc'd though at the moment because like

[00:56:33] He's he remember like the reason why he was on your back was because you were biologically keeping him Uh safe from the zan infection. Okay. Okay. So then my next question is

[00:56:43] Um, do they notice that he's on my back or can we like tell him like try and hide? Can we attempt him to hide before I can have him?

[00:56:51] You know like I can do a I can do a basic hide for him if you want. Yeah, let's try it. Okay Uh, okay uh, yeah, he goes off to one of the alcoves that he like You could have hid behind but you you're krogan

[00:57:06] Okay, uh and uh and optisk is also like on your by your side Unless you want hit unless you want the the verand to also hide next to crick Uh, no, but I would I would suggest that they

[00:57:19] Pull back like they stand behind me and almost like triangular formation. Okay Yeah, um Okay, come at me bro. All right, so um, yeah, uh It looks like three angara Um come running down a corridor. Um like they turn a corner and they see you they stop

[00:57:43] Uh, their eyes are glowing that violent angry static purple uh and uh they uh What the the front one just kind of smirks and it's like Uh surrender now heretic And face judgment from the front from the zan dominion

[00:58:02] Am I within melee range of these guys? You're you're like 50 feet away charging distance You are charging distance Yeah But I mean, I don't have like biotic charge But there's a krogan charge. Yeah krogan charge is there is Uh, shit, how does krogan? krogan

[00:58:26] Actually don't know specifically what krogan charge does. I just know what the thing I think we just call it that I think it's actually just a charge I think oh wait krogan charge is plus 1d8 plus 1 per level damage with a melee attack on top of like

[00:58:40] If I charge normal, it just hurts more Yeah, yeah It actually is called krogan charge in the book it is I hate it so Yeah Like bull rush I'm gonna go I am krogan on these guys and uh

[00:58:58] My axe my axe is a free move to pull out So i'm gonna pull out my axe if it's not out already it probably should be out already And uh charge these guys Okay

[00:59:09] Now does that is that take up both of my actions or were that considered one? Leave charge Are in a full around action Yeah, I mean my axe like I have quick draw. That's a free action. So you're good

[00:59:25] Okay, so I have two attractions to attack. All right. So yeah, um Okay, so yeah, we'll do this this kind of like because you because you were aware of them beforehand Like you we're gonna call I'm gonna count this as like an out of combat

[00:59:38] It's technically a surprise phase before initiative. So I get to attack and then we get to roll initiative Yeah, yeah, they weren't expecting the krogan charge nobody expects the krogan inquisition

[00:59:54] Unless you're shepherd in which case you can just see it coming in the games. It was like oh blatantly obvious I'm like I wish they would have like been a little bit more creative with that

[01:00:03] Just krogans would have been way scarier if they would have charged when they were closer Okay, so anyway. Yes. Yeah Let's do it. All right. Well your attack um They're kind of in there themselves are kind of in like um

[01:00:18] They're in a row because zan don't really do They zan are one so they kind of like go in they go like band of brother style This is like an in line. Okay

[01:00:29] So they're kind of like yeah, they're all three of them are kind of basically like filling that filling that uh that hallway Okay Would we say by now I'm I'm healed up because Did you take any damage from uh kicked him in the last combat remember?

[01:00:46] Oh no, that was that was in the yo that was from like uh the from like a planet over This one is this is a different planet. Yes. Uh, you're healed at this point. Okay. All right. So yeah Oh, shit. That's a 17 on top of 16 plus two. So

[01:01:05] What would that actually be most guaranteed hits but i'm curious 17 plus 16 Plus two Well, that's 35 But it's not a crit so That's definitely gonna hit though I'm gonna roll my damage. So okay 2d6

[01:01:26] 2d8 and i'm on a krogan charge. So that is and I can only use that once basically per Like scenario. Yeah, I'm not exactly sure. Um Plus one d8 Uh, oh another d8. Fuck I need to fucking find one. I'll just roll it again plus

[01:01:48] One per level damage. So I'm level what level are we now? You're like level 11 Yeah, so it'll be 11. Oh my god All right, so 11 plus Let's see extra bonus damage here is 13 you're a level 12 right now Yeah, so 2d6 that's five plus five Plus 2d8 That's four

[01:02:25] Plus another d8 for the krogan charge Is that scary two Krogan's are scary. That's two. So that's 35 damage. So Okay, well, you definitely popped one of their shield one of them other the Which one are you targeting the the left right or middle one?

[01:02:46] The middle one. Okay. So you popped his shield for sure Okay, I'm gonna swing at him again. Actually, I'm almost tempted. You know because it was a rush I'm gonna make him roll a a fortune to like knock it knock back 10 feet Oh

[01:03:02] Well, why don't know he got a 16 Would that is that a counter roll like is there something that It would technically be um my strength Yeah, roll roll. Yeah, roll your roll maybe because of how heavy he is Yeah, roll. What's your constitution there? Um Uh dergah

[01:03:24] My final score is 16 Uh I goes to the player. So he does go flying 10 feet Wait, I guess I'm gonna go for the left just left just right Mm-hmm Okay, and as yeah as as that guy just goes flying his his biotic his uh his uh

[01:03:46] Shields popping in the process and his two buddies just kind of like looking like aghast at what just happened Uh Dergah, you're just like roar and we're gonna start up an initiative for everybody because this is

[01:03:59] All happening everything now is all happening at the same time. So I don't get to do my second action Oh, you have a second action. Yeah, because my uh, my um pulling my weapon that was free

[01:04:09] Okay, but doing the progen charge running and attacking is a full round action That's what I thought. Yeah Oh progen charge is a different action. Oh, okay So that's two actions combined as one action

[01:04:20] Yeah, because you moved and attacked you combined it. Okay. Well, you're the you're the battle master So I'm gonna go with what Dave says. Okay. It sounds that seems fair because that was a hefty that was a hefty handed attack it was

[01:04:33] And it wasn't it wasn't even that great of rolls on damage either. I know you just I mean sure Yeah, wait until I start rolling high on my dammy Well that happened. All right, so Yeah initiatives for everybody here. So merke fio derga optos and tommy

[01:04:51] um two initiatives What is my initially walked me down to one character? Yeah, I know and then you just and then I I stupidly gave you a pet I did this to myself. I admit this Oh, I got zero 14 14 Yes, sir. Okay. Uh, what did uh merke get?

[01:05:20] Sorry, I was creating something. Uh Numbers so shot play an optis right now. That's kind of yeah, I'll let him play optis. Yeah, nice. That's only fair Who's the varan? Who wants to be the bear is off that is the Optus gives the bear

[01:05:38] No, I thought there was there was Optus is a varan Oh, right. Yeah He named the varan optis. I don't know why but suddenly optis had become a drone in my mind

[01:05:56] And there was another varan. Yeah, that'd be fair. He named it after tallie's favorite role. So hers was just jatica vaspas I got a 12 Thank you What did theo get? Oh, I'm rolling initiative too. Yeah, yeah, this is all happening at once. So like basically

[01:06:17] Theo will be will enter play when lea manages to Shut down the communications array. So in like about a round or two you'll be in Yeah, when theo manages to when lea and tommy managed to take out the the communications boot

[01:06:36] That's when so I want theos initiative just for like when you show up All right, I'll start spinning it What it what's optis 12 Lea is this 23 12. Okay Okay, what is tommy's Ah crap I'm losing my shit here. I rolled a negative and so long

[01:06:57] I know it's been a couple of couple of weeks I'm at it Uh initiative is to the left of your Profile picture underneath your damage reduction directly to the right of your wisdom

[01:07:08] Let's say does he have a profile picture? Yeah, yeah, he knows I fucking lose it all the time. I know exactly how much I lost three What happened? That's all that means okay So three so you're at the bottom one

[01:07:31] Durga is I I'm just now now I'm doing the process of like Rearranging all of the the list to wait. Are we fighting two separate battles at the same time? Well, you guys are doing like so while you're fighting these three angara durga

[01:07:45] Lea and tommy are doing a stealth mission and then meanwhile on the wolf pack Um, theo is just waiting in the phone booths to be biotically charged Is your head not like instantly turned into a headache buddy? That's a lot to I have ADHD man Okay

[01:08:05] I should probably still get that checked honestly, but Um, oh it's fine. It's too late. Yep Uh, sorry what theo did you ever get the the the hat ever stopped spinning? Aaron nope not yet Hello 17 god damn it. Okay

[01:08:29] Okay, all right, and I just need to quickly write something down here Um, she uh Aaron what's your what's your dexterity like your modifier? Uh crap give me a minute. I gotta pull that back up Please hold

[01:08:54] Shitternet is so when I closed it. I got you. I gotta go into my email. I got you email You got mail I think I have the most recent version of you honestly feel like

[01:09:10] Using that as a mod on my computer so that if I might do get mail, it's not a typical balloon It's like you got me the old aol On my phone. I haven't said it to uh the male motherfucker from uh No trip. I think it was

[01:09:29] Yeah, uh Dexterity is 15 so a plus two. Okay, so you are actually going Um, you're going after the last dead last No, you're going you're going before durga, but after the after the third angara

[01:09:48] You just so all angara basically lia's first angara all all three angara are going next Then theo then flexo then prize. Yes, then durga then merck then off disc then tommy so Uh, and this is gonna be this is the tail of the most confusing combat ever

[01:10:10] No, it's fine. I gotta battle my bub. I'm ready to go I'll settle up Do you have more you have three different panels that like represent three different locations because that's what He's a third at all fairness

[01:10:22] That's true. Yeah, we're really theo's really just like wait like we're just waiting in the the foam booth Wait to get like shot across Uh space so All right, so yeah top of the round is technically lia So

[01:10:38] Uh lia why don't you go and roll me? So you rolled a hide hidden uh moussali. That was good. Um Roll me a spot check Or I guess this would be a search check because you're even worse actively looking for the device

[01:10:55] Go back to your regular hand. I think it's time to just set back in and you can go back to what feels Yes Yep Well, the opposite hand goes numb after you because it's not used to you know

[01:11:10] It's not used to the pressure guys. I love you all. I love you all I'm listening to all Uh, what was that uh 19 total josh 19. Okay Uh, so yeah, you you're you're kind of sneaking like spot to spot Probably you you figure tommy's behind you as well. Um

[01:11:35] And uh You you managed to get to the location Uh, or you managed to get into view of the of the the device it is um sort of like a It looks like it's some kind of uh like large bulky like Like base kind of

[01:11:54] Device with a with an antenna or like or sort of like a bunch of cables Um plugged into it and kind of going like up into a mesh work Up into the the vaulted ceilings of this this expensive room so um

[01:12:11] You can kind of see what looks like the corner of a terminal. Um On the other side of the on the other side of the device um So you can either try and shut it down like digitally or like through through hacking and stuff of that or

[01:12:28] You could do it the easy way and just like or well you can do it the fun way And and put some grenades around it. Well a certain somebody that's following you might You should have like normal grenades regardless just because you don't have grenade power

[01:12:43] I mean, you don't have mundane grenades Yeah, I will say that like all you guys have like should have at least one grenade like standard grenade I have one standard grenade Okay Out of the concern is where the fuck is tommy? Do you want to look back?

[01:13:03] Roll spot check Uh roll spot check. Yeah I'm invisible exactly the more than likely you'll try and do not grenade you Yeah Might be able to see like the ripple that you produce if you mark roll tires on that on his hide last time

[01:13:22] What was the 18 or 15 I rolled 15 mark roll in 18 last time Yeah, so you're like shit. Where's mark where's tommy? Um, I mean you could try and contact him on our on our um Helmets and shit Why not I suppose you guys could Yeah, that's something

[01:13:48] Yeah, I don't know if it's a gameplay element You can easily find your teammates or if it's actually something that's in the lore Okay, I don't know You know what actually I'll be I'll be nice and say that you guys do have the kind of like HUD thing

[01:14:02] So you're not being You guys aren't like just fumbling around in the dark There is helmets that do have like yeah well Vizor like there is just visors too which help with

[01:14:17] But and Leah is a Korean so she her helmet should have like different like interfaces and stuff like that So I don't yeah, I don't see why not so yeah, um, yeah, you know where he is

[01:14:27] He's he's coming up. Uh, he's a little bit ways behind you, but he is coming up behind you and no one seems to have noticed either of you Um

[01:14:35] So you you can you can communicate short range with each other. So all right to a short range all tom He's gonna hear his planting a grenade Yeah, uh, okay, so uh roll heavy, uh, so if you're gonna plant it and not just like throw it willy nilly

[01:14:54] It's put it on the ground. It's gonna be heavy or the turn on the like pull the pin run It's it's still gonna be a heavy uh, like heavy weapons roll because that's the That's the

[01:15:08] Pull pins on grenades. Oh, it's a part they usually shot first the button and throw the disc Yeah, yeah, but you can like place it and like you can't place them and like set them off as well That's true. Yeah like proxmines

[01:15:22] Hang on isn't actually heavy weapons or is it like some magic? Double checking but doesn't it have to be specified if you want to use it as a proxmine?

[01:15:31] I think it might actually also be you know what it is also actually electronics. I will roll if electronics then Really? Yeah, according to according to electronics like the description the skill represents the character's knowledge and skill with electronic systems and devices It indicates how well

[01:15:49] They work in and around electronic systems. It also indicates the character's ability to copy an electronic code blah blah Or disable very simple electronic devices such as small vehicles manufacturing robots and even bombs So I would count electronics for like this in this case as well

[01:16:06] It's a sexy option. Yeah, it is Yeah, because it's not like a like a grenade is not a heavy like or it's a heavy weapon But it's not a like an like a a large sized explosive or anything like that. It's also not a complicated one

[01:16:21] Because yeah, this is something every runt on the fucking field has to be able to use Yeah, I mean if Kyle Rieger can do it so can you

[01:16:34] 21 okay, yeah, you managed to place the bomb and like set it off and then you run off away from it. Um Do you want to roll a uh Hide and move silently one last time All right, you're gonna play good bud 24 for hide

[01:16:58] Yeah, just go to deque and give yourself a dilly bar for your belly buddy. Oh, what I want to go to deque and dilly bar First belly 21 for move silently I nearly printed

[01:17:15] Um, yeah, no one notices you and then the bomb goes off the grenade goes up next round sir Oh, yeah, that's true. I just go off next round. Yeah, you're you're right. Let's follow. Let's follow the rules So angara number three two and one attack derga on

[01:17:36] Number one attack first which I assume would be number two That's just one action getting also. I'm gonna be really dirty I'm gonna be really fucking dirty to derga here They don't have these angara don't have thawkins They have ravnoscus

[01:17:51] What does that mean? They have the plasmus. They have the plasmus that you have Yes, that's fine Right the new weapon. That's all three of them have them and they just a lija torrent of plasma on you

[01:18:07] I'm not scared. Let's let's see how this goes. Let's see how this goes hang on. I just really want to kill a trogid Not gonna happen like there's not enough you should have put all three against just one

[01:18:19] No, they are all three of them are attacking you with them. No, I mean like if I didn't have backup. Oh, fair Yeah Oh man, um, okay, so what's your what's the death? What's the uh, the check I have to get for you

[01:18:33] What's her AC for me? Uh My defense is fucking shit. It's 12 12 Okay okay well So the first guy the first angara Um managed to get one shot off of you on you and then and then his his plasma spear um

[01:18:56] It just it's it sputters out on like the third attack Okay, so let's uh, just roll that one attack there Okay, so that's four damage For that one for that one then the next guy the next guy in the line Gets up on his on with one action

[01:19:16] From where he was 10 feet away And then fires the plasma cannon a plasma spear Uh with his second action. Oh, should we know it hang on No, that makes sense even brutal like actually try to kill me. I I'm trying I'm trying. I'm just also like

[01:19:33] The first guy shot at you, but he rolled a one on his third action So like he only got one shot like small an actual shot on you

[01:19:40] So one plasma stream and then it sputtered out and he has to like try and like get it unjammed or like trying to tinker with it um The guy who landed 10 feet away when you like charged at him and like and took out his shields

[01:19:53] He got up with one action and then blasted you Okay, uh, he got Pretty decent rolls on his five on his five Wait, so the second one didn't do any damage

[01:20:06] He couldn't do anything. He had he had to basically spend a uh, he had to spend his second action The first guy had to spend his second action reloading

[01:20:13] Or like unjaming unjaming the the the plasma cannon or re re re tinkering with it so that it would work um, the second guy Got up and yeah got up with with his first action because you you tossed him 10 feet

[01:20:27] But then he got up and basically like started unleashing the plasma stream at you so Give me a second here while I do the calculations. That's definitely gonna do it That one's not gonna do it

[01:20:38] um, so four plasma four shots actually hit you from the the middle guy Um, so that's gonna be 10 damage Um And then Yeah, and then the next guy i'm actually gonna unleash all 10

[01:20:58] Dice because he's using all of his action. No, he's doing it full auto. So he's doing all three actions. So 15 dice There's no shit. I'm gonna hit them Oh my god, none of them rolled net ones and Unfortunately none of them are net 20s

[01:21:14] But I pretty sure most of them hate you Um, give me a second while I just do a quick calculation here You said 12 right? Yes Okay 12 of the hits hit you 12 of the dice So let's just roll that 12 dice 12 default Minimum of 12 So this would be 40 damage Okay

[01:21:49] Um, and uh, that's uh their turn Dude just barely brought my shield to half Nice We'll see how they last next time. So thio you're you're uh, you're waiting in the in the in the uh In the the box Mm-hmm punishers is like Uh

[01:22:10] Sammy do we got anything yet? Um, uh punish agent punisher Uh, I am still awaiting Uh a uh a solid a solid signal from From the pack Please stand by and she just kind of like Looks over it's like

[01:22:30] Like like kind of looks looks at the button that she has to hit with their biotics slap and then looks over to you and just like We got this buddy. Don't worry I believe in her. I believe in lia Professionals dammit

[01:22:46] Um, we're semi professional occasionally we get paid for this arguably that's arguably enough For professionals Yes So yeah, thio you can't do anything this round Um, that's fine Durga You're up One moment. I just gonna blow my nose. Okay Hey, he muted himself didn't disconnect

[01:23:13] No, right? Fuck. Um, okay So i'm still right next to number two Is the first guy that originally hit is he in melee or is he still 10 feet? Okay, so The guy to the left of you and the right of you are within melee range

[01:23:29] The guy that you knocked away is like he you knocked him 10 feet to a wall basically Okay, so uh, i'm gonna go for the guy on the right With my axe I'm just gonna start fucking hitting everybody. Um, okay, so 18 plus whatever

[01:23:48] And hopefully it's not in that one because i'm pretty sure if I roll with two I get this but anyway 15 Not a charisma check. You're not hitting on them. You're hitting them Oh, oh, sorry. I get confused from time to time

[01:24:06] Hitting on them like in krogan would would also probably look violent to every other It's okay. It's probably be about the same thing It's it's it's totally fine. It's it's just that krogan fertility therapy that happened for 600 years while they were in Stasis

[01:24:21] I just head bought them with my crotch not my head Anyway, I have a 33 hit that's got a hit. You're thinking with the wrong hand Sorry, what was that attack? Uh, what was that? 33. Yeah, the double hits. Okay, uh

[01:24:38] Now I need to do damage but I don't have my charge Yeah, Dave, can you do me a favor and look into the krogan charge and see if I can

[01:24:48] Just use it once or if I can use it multiple times because I'm kind of curious I might use that next round if I Can use it multiple times. You're already in melee So I don't know but these yeah, but the other guy Yeah

[01:25:01] Is it like it's a racial trait? Oh right. It's a kind of a distance thing fair enough. Um, either way, I'll look it up for you Okay Uh I think it's yeah, it's just okay Yeah I'm getting so messed up here. Okay, so 13 plus whatever I roll

[01:25:27] As far as I'm reading your krogan charge thing is just a damage buff on you doing a standard charge So how often can you use the standard charge? I'm looking into that Do you like probably as much as you want though? Yes

[01:25:42] Yeah, it's not like it's not like a power. It's just it's an innate ability half No, oh my god, sorry. I just realized it's the lea krogans have an innate ability of leroi jankins The leeroi jankins fucked it up for everybody. I feel like I'm like

[01:26:05] Leeroi jankins plus your jankins leeroi Leeroi It's also the name of the first guy that dies in mass. Yeah, it is jankins. Yes The guy who looks at damage 37. Okay. Well his that guy shields popped

[01:26:24] Um, yeah, and you have another attack. I'm gonna hack at him again. Okay. So sorry that was the right guy or the left guy The right guy got so Um, yeah, how often can we use a charge as much as you want as far as I could tell

[01:26:39] But you have to have like I mad you have to have a running distance Otherwise you cannot perform a charge Yeah, you can't just like right next to him charge To just sprint with Adam. Yeah, no turns or nothing. Okay. You can only hit number two. Nice. Okay

[01:26:54] Yeah, number two means he is my number two man Number two I just rolled a 19 Is that a crit? That's a crit Rolled to confirm Red mist red mist actually Red mist Yeah Um, okay, so 13 plus

[01:27:24] Oh my god, I just I looked on like I was looking online. It's like, uh, what are krogen god? So I can like blood for the blood god This is like ancient krogen deities include vol a god who stan stood watch for enemies of his pantheon It's like

[01:27:44] Yeah, so is the 25 considered a I would confirm. Uh, yeah Yeah, that's gonna be terms for damage Okay times for damage Yeah, this guy's gonna go splat again. I can't believe I actually got her the crit Can take him against the lap

[01:28:02] Wait, wait. Hey, okay. So you okay. Yeah. Yeah Um, my god, which guy is he targeting? He's targeting the right guy right? I thought you ran up to charge the guy in the middle So he charged the guy up in the middle and that guy got sent like 10

[01:28:17] Yeah, but I thought he's up with another guy Oh, he wanted that next turn No, no, yeah, he was asking for next turn. Yep Yeah All right. Oh no, I'm not plus four times four So you're gonna minus four and then times four so 27 times four is 108 damage

[01:28:38] so That guy doesn't even exist anymore He is atoms Wow, you just he just vanishes he just like there's just a red tint to that space where he was I don't know why I ever thought I would have success with my guns when my fucking axe is like

[01:29:02] Most of the previous games. I'm like A fire a gun every once in a while and it's like that was dumb I fucking missed or it didn't do any damage Mm-hmm Just acts guys man. I'm the act man as uh, was that josh?

[01:29:16] I think Gears of War three killing lamb and he was where they just go poof Yeah And there's like a bit of like static Yeah, and there's just like a purple static, um where its head was and it just kind of fades away

[01:29:31] So after that I basically taunt the motherfucker and I lift my axe and I basically just like Um, I kind of do like the tusken raider thing but like in a crow can kind of growl roll and intimidate Oh, yeah, I can do that. Yeah

[01:29:44] My intimidation is actually pretty good. Um, well, it's good. I just have points in it. It's not amazing Uh Where is it? Oh, there it is. Okay um 13 is 16 do anything 16, uh, we'll find out next We'll find out next cliffhanger. We'll find out next round

[01:30:11] We'll find out next week ladies and gentlemen. I'm going to go No, we'll find out next round what they do with that Uh, okay, so It's true another guy in the city So that's Derga

[01:30:27] So Merck, what are you are you going to like you finally got you finally got communications with with your uh, your crew Deeper within the city. Do you want to stay at the hangar area?

[01:30:36] Or do you want to try and like get like like try and unite with them? Well, Durga was saying like they need backup And he was seeming kind of like um antsy on the phone so yeah So yeah, I'll grab my face and Hobble my way over there

[01:30:57] Yep. All right. Um, so you'll you'll get there in in a round or two um Next up is up disc is up disc doing anything after after seeing that And uh, there are in our pack predators so So I'm go up disc is going for number one

[01:31:23] So the left the left guy gonna try and take out his legs Alrighty Oh, does that kind of some called shot whenever it's melee with a like an animal? I don't know Yeah, I think oh, okay I would yeah, I would say that's more of a grapple. Yeah

[01:31:42] Yeah, so it knows all right bring down pray. Yeah, yeah. Yeah Right closest one biggest threat. It's not even that it's you've got it flanked Its attention is twirly on you. Oh, that's that's right That's true It's like holy fuck

[01:32:03] Okay, so roll with I guess roll plus the uh, the um the grapple b a b All right Yeah Okay Got it laid out weird. They've got literally basic attack slash grapple and then plus one plus three weird

[01:32:23] Yeah, well because bab they that's the bad is uh, it's probably the grapple So the grapple it's supposed to be yeah, I got that but Yeah Bab is a bunny 14 actually

[01:32:39] We'll do it because tiger is the player and objects at this point is being played by a player. So I will allow that This fuckers grapple Okay, so is that actually doing any incurring any damage or he just Okay, fair enough

[01:32:57] It should because the teeth sink in in a grapple I could think the rules for an animal is different Then okay, you know that case. Yeah use uh you what's the damage on the on uh, like what kind of damage is There's a very Damn, okay. Yeah

[01:33:14] Roll it 3d12 plus well Jesus up desks level. Yeah It changes to that Yep, no, no Fuck you guys I'll kill And to miniaturize the odd me spear so that he's got one on each paw Nice also a damage

[01:33:40] A damage shuttle. Okay. Um the shield is actually taking most of that Yeah, fuckers grapple Yep, and I'm actually I rolled a uh a four or two to see if he stays on the ground or stays stays upright um, and that is going to be a

[01:33:58] Yeah, it's just me hits. Let's just assume he's fine Yeah, I'm gonna assume that it's either a 15 or 16. So yeah It's a very Yeah, so yep. Yeah, so yeah, he's still up. He's just like oh god damn it. I'm trying to kick the stand thing

[01:34:16] And that's his action because um, that was technically a charge I had to move Yep So he is Uh, I was grabbed. Um, so next up is uh, tommy Let me so hello

[01:34:30] Hey, Tommy. So yeah, you uh, you you're aware of what lea did where she like basically went over to the device She went over to a A large like communicate what looks like a communications like a wired communications device or like station

[01:34:44] Yes, and planted a grenade. So would you like to also plant a grenade or do something on this ramp? I didn't realize I had access to a grenade You should you should have at least one regular grenade as part of uh part of being a

[01:34:59] A mass fight character Standard equipment, bro We're gonna we're gonna do a bit of a we're gonna we're gonna go eat us to lead us and put my grenade in there Okay All right, uh,

[01:35:12] It's gonna be either. Yeah, I'm gonna say it's either uh, I'm gonna be nice and it's either electronics or hard or heavy weapons I'm gonna see electronics if that's okay Okay

[01:35:24] Kind of heavy weapon because like the way I see heavy weapons working in this case. It's like put like it using heavy weapons is like Being knowledgeable with like demolition charges. So like where to place the bomb

[01:35:34] Whereas the grenade whereas the uh, the electronics is basically like planting it in a spot that you think is Like you're kind of like thinking is good, but then like setting it the timer right so you don't blow up yourself

[01:35:45] Okay, I'm trying even because I don't have anything in heavy weapons, but I can roll It can be electronics, uh, or mark. It doesn't have to be heavy weapons if you don't want Okay I will choose you electronics Okay

[01:36:05] Yeah, uh with the 24, um you you said it you look over like like lia lia finishes and like walks So I'll walk off you see like her her silhouette from uh on your on your uh your HUD

[01:36:17] And then you walk over and basically just plant another one nearby Like on the same on the same device that she was planting her grenade And time it and like and basically just like okay, so that's where she timed it

[01:36:26] All right, so I'll try mine about the same and then continue and then walk over to where she's like huddling over to Um, I do need you to roll another uh hide and move silently Tommy okay hide and silently

[01:36:56] All right, son of a bitch, okay. All right roll your roll your your move silently natural one 10 natural one excited Yeah, um you you do see um So you hid very well however

[01:37:23] You look you look like you're kind of like look over wherever you're like hiding from like the the blast of the uh the grenades when they go off And you see that there is a zyclot Um lumbering over because he he heard something

[01:37:37] So he is again another zyclot is coming over. It's probably the same zyclot They that you they came and turned off the terminal in the first place He showed up and he's he's looking he's going to investigate because he's seeming a lot more suspicious like all right

[01:37:51] There's got to be somebody here or some something's fishy going on So he's heading over to the to where the explosion's gonna happen Because I I also rolled a one on his his spot check so we didn't see you but he heard something

[01:38:07] Five works out kind of perfect Yeah, so that's gonna be interesting next round so um and Speaking of top of the round Um top of the round yeah goes off doesn't it? Yep

[01:38:27] Let me just roll these the uh, I imagine your grenade going off will also set off um, what would a serve Tommy's grenade Oh no, Tommy's right there. No, no Tommy's Tommy did move to yeah, Tommy did move so Thank god

[01:38:43] So 30 foot radius days for the grenades. I can't quite remember 15 or 30 one of the two It's I think a 15. I think it's a 15 foot radius sounds great. Okay Yeah, so let's take a look here. Oh my god this guy sucks Um

[01:39:02] Give me a second here. I gotta pull up stats for a zyclot Um, oh stormtroopers you mean like these guys these guys are fucking the drop my card Well, well the angara are the ones that are like more like stormtroopers the zyclot are like basically like the heavies

[01:39:18] Angara are like stormtroopers to derga Yeah, most of them are that okay I'm suddenly more afraid of derga Okay It's gonna stop using my fire in front of all scary one Yeah, uh evil

[01:39:46] That'd be kind of cool just to see what happens. Okay, so um, yeah the explosion goes off um You guys feel the heat wave From the from the explosion as an energy arcs Um around is that the wires snap and burn and boil um

[01:40:04] The the zyclot was walking over to that direction to like see like what the sound was When he got caught in the blast and there was just like a like Fire and and smoke kind of billowing from the device the device is clearly destroyed um

[01:40:24] And up on the wolf pack sammy uh like notifies punisher. It's like That they they have they now like the the the communications array of the cityship of zycala has gone down And he is able to get a strong signal from the from the backpack

[01:40:41] Um, all of your communications array are now back up Like you guys can now actually talk to with with with the whole team and stuff like that And the Chris i'm chris. I'm curious. Um

[01:40:53] The does do we have to roll damage for the guy that hit with the grenade or Oh, I rolled it. I also rolled it. Um out of the ash out of the smoke and fire and energy arcing

[01:41:03] Uh from of the remains of the the uh the communications array or the communications terminal that you guys just destroyed um A uh a zyclot silhouette comes out and just and all there's just like this

[01:41:19] He's it's dark silhouetted to the the flames and the energy like behind him Except for his single burning purple eye That is just like who did this? And it's just staring at you guys like in your area

[01:41:38] Um, it doesn't look too like he looks hurt, but he's not like dead at all Um, and he's just lumbering towering over like where you guys are So So, yeah, he's now in the uh the initiative so hopefully theo can like take out the zen

[01:42:01] Hopefully this all works out well But they'd be in the shadow of the colossus Hey Uh, yeah, so give me a second here while I quickly Adjust his stats because his plating took a hit um

[01:42:24] And he's also still pretty beefy actually you one thing you guys have noticed about the zyclot on this On the city ship. Um, they don't seem to be eating their wheaties a lot They are much scrawnier

[01:42:36] And lankier than the zyclot of uh that you guys have like come to know and talk to Like that you formed an alliance with like the ones that you guys have talked to they're much like they're big They're big and beefy

[01:42:48] These zyclot the ones that are being possessed by the zen Doesn't look like the zen have been treating their hosts very well because they are Have a leaner build to them. So they're still like They're still intimidating because of their height and stuff, but they

[01:43:02] Don't have the muscle mass it seems that the the regular zyclots have Oh take every advantage I can give Mm-hmm, uh, however, yeah this one definitely knows where you are And

[01:43:18] Uh, and uh, yeah, no top of the round. So yeah, lia your your grenade went off that all that happened. You still have an action I only have one action That's true. Yeah, that's true so I'm going to work the motherfucker Okay First full base attack. Yeah

[01:43:46] wait a minute is um Would tommy be within range of getting effects by the word I Yeah, i'm also thinking that like tommy is probably like next to lia like behind the cover Oh, okay. Yeah

[01:44:03] Yeah, okay, no that's fair. Yeah, it's not the nova that uh that lia started doing. Yeah, so yeah I would There's no where But stop me That's face that hit you with that last turn last time Oh I'm gonna cut it. I'm craving. I'm fine 14

[01:44:23] Uh 14 let's take a look see if it cuts. That's it. Um, I'm sorry. You needed one more All right, do I still throw it out? I miss that first year Which means my cool starts and my active camera just disappears. Oh wait wait mm-hmm

[01:44:48] I have to close do I get anything from fucking this it does Shit no May lane doesn't make it easier hit it makes it makes ballistic weapons and melee weapons hurt more when you break clothes Wait, you can't couple it with another biotic attack or decaton

[01:45:08] I you can go tech but as soon as you use the biotic power It puts in a cool down unless you bought off the cool down. No, I did not Yeah, but I in the last session. I thought we

[01:45:19] Discovered that we could use tech attacks coupled with biotic attacks or no Because tech attacks have their own cool down time and biotic attacks have their own cool down time as well separate Oh Does he have to do cloak to use a tech attack?

[01:45:37] cloak is a tech power and because Oh Basically both your tech and your Biotics are both on cooldown now because as soon as you break cloak. That's when the cool down starts

[01:45:48] Why I have nothing that's I was looking at how the cloud gave me a bonus to hit for these and it's like nope only for Fucking guns in melee even then. Yep Yep, it's what I was looking at. It's like uh, no

[01:46:02] This fucking warp is so effective against plating Mm-hmm Well, there's still an option to help set up something for Tommy. I can't do it I know you know it doesn't I can only show you or run So I am going to pull out the uchi or

[01:51:00] Uh, you said that's right. It's what kind of a roll. It's a tumble check Except for Aaron's ability to to have cigarettes in the house and not Toll in Okay, um So I also need you to roll a biotics check

[01:51:26] But there's well biotics check a biotics check and then as a result there'll be another roll But not with a d20 with a percentile What? Yeah, uh, you're not gonna make them call it are you? Yeah, I make it off

[01:51:44] Yeah, Chris. I still have cigarettes in the house There's two left And they're in the freezer So what do you get for that uh that uh biotics roll there biotics? Yeah, still going Wait and bring to finish spinning Okay So I rolled a 16 Okay Plus Plus 16 So a 32

[01:52:17] That's gonna be enough roll a roll a d100. I'm sorry Me 100 That's an eight. Oh, this is the one that's the two potions. Yeah, it's percent. Yeah, you need a percentile. Yep Yes, I just couldn't remember what they were shaking for very different. Gotcha

[01:52:47] Everyone stand by for ceo fall Stand by for Theo's raid drop. I think that's the session episode stand by for theo fall. That's that's the sessions title Session 19 theo fall. All right guys, we got to start the parkour Yep, we didn't bring derga 81 sorry, I meant Olga. Okay

[01:53:15] Um, give me a second here while I quickly do Something Erin you cracked the planet You've killed all So um, yeah the uh The blast like theo lands down on the on like into the spot um And there is a concussive concussive blast of biotic energy that

[01:53:46] Theo you look around your surroundings you're surrounded by this like strange alien architecture of like metallic coral designs and like technology and there's like a large kind of white purple crystal wall

[01:54:03] Like next to you like it's that's all that is the one side of the room of this expansive like Room it's just this giant wall of white purple crystal It literally ripples with the biotic energy from your

[01:54:16] Impact and it continues to ripple off into the distance around like from where like out of view from where you can see um so You it's still going. Um, I will say uh, the there were a couple of angara and an a zyclot

[01:54:37] In your vicinity like right next to you. Um That you saw um The angara drop dead the zyclot Um, like gets pushed back by the blast of your biotic energy and his eye At first you think it burns out

[01:55:01] But then you realize that it's just the the purple energy Um, that was like kind of coursing through it and like with the the the tail tail sign of a zan possessed um It has it has faded and just like pops The eye is still there

[01:55:18] And the zyclot is now shaking its head in like a befuddlement Um, babe you're gonna have to put you're gonna have to put the in the field. Um and um That is uh, yeah, so that that's uh You that you that was all one action

[01:55:38] Was your biotic charge So what would you like to do? You are currently um, so there are three dead angara Or at least three angara bodies on the ground. You don't know if they're dead yet or not yet Um, and there's a zyclot um that was zan controlled

[01:55:55] But like the energy the purple energy in its eye has stopped like is no longer there and it's like kind of seems confused So are there any glowing purple eyes around? uh, there is

[01:56:07] You see a few denizens in the in the in the distance like you see a few like a few A few angara and zyclots often like the distance you'd have to like run out like to see them and some of that

[01:56:19] You're not sure if they're infected or not still Okay, well then i'm just going to pull my spear out And ready myself because um The guy doesn't have purple glowy eyes anymore. So he's probably not a threat Is he in the same dream as Tommy and leo?

[01:56:39] Yes, but no like They are the the problem with this room is it's like what again it's like it it it's a room that uh rings around A mountain sized crystal So they are off a ways from him in the same room. Okay, so um

[01:57:00] Yeah, he uh, yeah, so so that's what yeah, theo you ready your spear and like look for for danger and such Uh, you guys all have communications now. So you can talk to each other as a free action

[01:57:09] I think for like a or as a as one free action If you'd like but otherwise, yeah Uh, so next up is derga Uh these grenades might explode and there's a puppy in danger. Mm-hmm Uh Uh that engar has not dropped dead yet Um

[01:57:40] Okay, biotic charge the engar next to the puppy pick up the puppy and biotic charge away I don't think derga has biotics. I don't have biotic charge Where are you doing? That's that's not how this works Yeah Suddenly become the the the main protagonist of this ya novel

[01:58:05] And suddenly just gain an ability that you that is complete bullshit that you could be able to gain Learn it out of no gain and ability the way that the grumblehounds do out of necessity. Nice. Yeah Well next maca, um, I'm gonna uh

[01:58:23] As far as you know, he's still he's still infected with the zan so I'm I'm I'm an animal lover at heart in both real life and in game. So I am going to run to the baron And pick it up grab them and Run away

[01:58:41] Thank you. Um, yeah, so Roll uh raffle to get the dog. Yeah Thank you Chris. I get to bring it up. Interesting. Attack of opportunity Huh He's leaving for what? Um Angar in space. He's leaving melee combat

[01:59:01] Yeah, but the the person that's that he that would have the chance to uh deal with him is currently dealing with a with a Varen to the left. Basically he's entering melee combat with Guy who's being bit Here's here's how i'm gonna do this

[01:59:17] Durga has to roll off a grapple check not on the veron but on the guy Uh Yeah, basically Uh What is grapple is grapple skill? Ripple is uh, it's uh part of your b. A. B. Um

[01:59:38] Oh, so it's your um strength plus hang on. He's tag bonus probably Yeah, it's it's straight your yeah your strength. Uh, plus your base attack bonus plus uh any kind of modifier you have for your size Uh So my ability modifier for my strength then

[01:59:55] Yes, no. Yes. So a plus six Okay, all right. That's not horrible as long as I don't roll like shit just don't whiff Don't fuck up this 17 work 17 work I'm so here's what happens Um durga you pick up the puppy

[02:00:19] Still holding on to the leg of the angara Who then gets dragged along with you guys From the grenades Because I rolled a two on his grapple So like even with like even as an he even with like his full like grapple check it's like an eight

[02:00:41] So so is there a wall or a post that is close to us I mean, yes, there's the there's the hallway walls next like like on either side of you There's also the alcove There's also the alcove where we're crick is currently hiding away from

[02:01:01] For a post essentially what I want to do is I just want to tornado spin But I'm gonna really hold on to the baron really well and just tornado spin the body of this angara into a fucking post

[02:01:11] I'll say that the like the way the walls are constructed like they are kind of like ribbed Um because they're kind of like a metallic coral and like there's a bit of an organic There's a bit of an organic like geiger like hr geiger design going so

[02:01:25] So could I like turn them into? You could definitely like just like smack him across like a call. Oh, that's like part of the wall Okay, how would damn how would roll how would an attack roll and damage work for that?

[02:01:38] That'd be another grapple. It's technically an improvised weapon So Okay I know I'm I'm I'm exploring new ventures You are you are sir I'm gonna use my red dice this time because this is getting bloody

[02:01:59] Even though the blood isn't good. I know but I don't have a blue dice I mean not in the d20. I have blue dice. I just don't have an d20

[02:02:13] d20 are expensive man. I'd have to like print one and they're cheap if you have a weight you do Yeah Okay, I'm more I'm actually like looking up to see if what I can find for this

[02:02:24] It's more of a winner activity for me. That's whenever I'm stuck inside Yeah By the way Chris, I still have that cthulhu model like over my my computer right now like over me

[02:02:35] Well, yeah, I mean I painted it really well. I would be kind of upset if you didn't Yeah, it is it is awesome. I would just be like, oh um, okay, so this is gonna be treated I guess as

[02:02:47] I'm like luri going through like this the uh, the combat maneuvers to see if there's like a I think honestly it's I think honestly, let's just treat this as like an improvised weapon attack. So like

[02:03:02] Uh, I know there's like isn't there like improvised weapons in the chart here is there essentially it's Me just slamming him. I just have an extra appendage holding on to him. Yeah, let's just treat this as an unarmed attack usually like a short of glass

[02:03:17] Yeah, all right, we're just gonna just look at an arm. Okay. Yeah, wait, where is my unarmed attack? Actually, I don't know if it's different than my base On me really would be attack bonds plus 15. Okay. Nice

[02:03:30] Thanks, Chris. I like that. I didn't even see that until I Okay, all right. All right. Don't roll a one. So 13 plus 15 is 28 15 on your unarmed attack Yeah, he's a krogan. Yeah I'm only

[02:03:50] Got them to be like a serious beefcake whenever I came to melee. Yeah. Yep. Okay, so you uh Definitely definitely do what you want to do Okay, so that would be two dc

[02:04:03] Because you're like I was like the dc was only 10 because you're hitting the broad side of a barn or in this case A hallway wall With a guy Basically Hit him and then the doors closed severing them in two Oh god All right, let's see 2d6

[02:04:31] The weirdly enough it seems like the xan and xyclot like doorways and stuff are not shunting doors. They're more like ramps Are they unforgot? Yeah, that'll be 17 melee damage Sorry, how much damage 17 Okay, well you have popped your shields

[02:04:51] It's oh my god, you know what this is. This is like a slightly modified version of I am a god And it's just like loki's loki shields popped and that's why he didn't dive in the whole crush it like smacking him across the floor

[02:05:07] Here's the fun part though. He's still grappled until either Yep, um op disc or I decide to let go or if he rolls out of the grapple Yeah, he's just still has to wait until his next turn

[02:05:19] Yep. Yep. Okay, so that's what you do derga basically you get him you get Optisk and as a result this angara out of harms away from the grenades And then proceed to just like bludgeon him against the wall Well

[02:05:36] While optisk is still holding onto his leg my god the insanity of the state um So uh op 2 next up is the evil xyclot Evil Evil Yeah, well the xyclot that came out of the fire from the from the explosion of the uh the communications terminal And

[02:05:59] Yeah, and he has a he has a a rab noscu plasma spear Bless you So let's just uh, it's our joke He's just gonna unleash all five all 15 Five 15 dice upon upon lia It's it's a pun. It's it's all his favorite loving war but

[02:06:26] So i'm just gonna get rid of these for these last three since he rolled a nat one on his on his third last die Um, actually no shit. He didn't fuck. He only gets like two shots because I rolled another nat one damn okay, uh, so lia, uh

[02:06:47] What's your dc? Okay, so only one of them actually hits you that was so much that was lame Lame Take Dave dividing line with the squiggle going through it I'm watching you. That's just um me saying that they're in the same room

[02:07:08] But they're far enough away that they can't see each other Oh, okay Uh, so you're gonna take four plasma blast uh lia For plasma damage Yeah, as uh and then hit and then his plasma gun like jams or something like it shorts out

[02:07:25] So the nozzle stops spraying plasma and gooey gooey star juice at you And uh, he like he like gets angry and like looks at that and then like uh on his next action um just goes to grab lia Are they not? Damn it. Okay fine. Um

[02:07:51] Fucking he's gonna throw the spear at you He's gonna just try like awesome. I can't even get at you on his on his last action Yeah, yeah, exactly there we go. Let's see what he does. Oh man is a nat 20

[02:08:07] That's not good. Let's roll the confirm. Another natural 20 roll to kill. Okay I don't know not that that 20 but i'm pretty sure you're on a roll of 12 Okay, I'm pretty sure a

[02:08:24] Uh, hang on. What's the what's their strength? Oh my god, these guys are too late. These guys are powerful But um Yeah, that's 23 to hit you Oh my god I'll be fine. I've got to say Yeah Can't kill me that's that's true. Hang on. Let me

[02:08:44] Let's let's roll this hang on give me a second. It might be a shield popper Um, it is gonna be a shield popper for sure. Oh, yeah Snake eyes Is your cooldown only one round for the other? Oh, yeah, actually no, I couldn't use it okay so

[02:09:05] I rolled I rolled snake eyes. So, um on the 2d6 However, he still gets plus five to the dam like to the damage times three because it was a critical So 21 damage as a spear this like

[02:09:22] Goes at you and like I guess like it doesn't quite impale you because the shields but Yeah It looks really threatening at the time just bounce off for probably like knocked her on her ass or something

[02:09:36] Yeah, I'm I'm say yeah, I'm gonna actually roll for to uh, liana helping because that was a That was a very strong attack again like these things are these guys are bruisers. So they they they are strong even when they're like lanky and And whatnot

[02:09:51] Roll to see if you like get it like yeah, if you want. Yeah, do that 23 nope I mean we can still have it like thematically like he stabs your uh your cape not You know what that like downpend to the wall and we'll take it

[02:10:06] Because he did crit Yeah, you're not yeah, you didn't yeah, exactly. Yeah Okay. Yeah, so yeah, you you are pinned to the the crystal wall Good at video games um And uh, yeah, that's basically his actions as you are pinned to the uh the nearest wall um

[02:10:30] Merrick was a Um So um a couple of doors the doors in the hangar bay all open up Um And a large group of zyclots and angara come in Like come into the uh, that as I was like up to leave the hangar

[02:10:50] You open the door. There's a bunch of zyclots entering like like coming from the other way section of combat here hang on one second Well, well hang on hang on roll roll a uh a spot check or no roller sets voters Favorite go on that 28 that's time

[02:11:09] At one I can't tell if you're fucking with me or not. Wow. So yeah It's part of a feed it it's actually part of a feed he has so Um, yeah these guys um just ramble over uh over you. Um Uh Merrick Um roll roll fortitude

[02:11:38] How many are there there are like a dozen In this uh from this doorway nine Uh, you are uh, you are your you're you are ball wall and the ball part definitely comes into play here as you would just start roll a little bit

[02:12:03] You get rolled back by like A set of like a dozen or so like zyclots that just kind of like run into the room and they're they start like chattering out a some kind of a call it

[02:12:17] You were expecting them to like it sound like you were expecting the the static sound of like the zan like control, uh, but like they're they Maybe it does kind of sound a little bit like that as well

[02:12:26] But they they seem to be saying it's like get to the shuttle go to the shuttle the shuttle um my shuttle and uh So here's a question Merrick. Did you in fact lock that uh locked down those shut that that uh

[02:12:40] The zan shut the the zyclot shut lock it down Do you want to roll convince a coincidence check to see if you didn't or not? I technically did um That's a secret. Yeah, we're all coincidence 20

[02:13:02] Uh, okay. Um, yeah, they they get on to the shuttle. Um, so I don't know how Yeah, I had it in my head um and uh, yeah, they they start then you start hearing like some like Explitives and like Some shouting of like of exclamations like what?

[02:13:25] Why isn't it working? Why Uh, and then there's a pulse that uh that comes through the room. Um And uh Suddenly you you hear like a weird like kind of popping in your ear And like a tingly feeling um and That shuttle suddenly gets very quiet

[02:13:49] Well, like it's disabled We know like the people stop shouting Inside that shuttle Do you want to go take a look at what's going on over there cautiously? Well, not too cautious Over there with my gun up. Yeah Okay, there were like three dozen

[02:14:07] Zyclots and and in garra that like ran through like the the two separate like doorways of the hangar bay um And they all like kind of ran into that tried to get into that shuttle and like leave as i'm going up

[02:14:17] I'll be telling like you pack or sammy's like oh six of them just showed up and ran into that ship. I'm gonna go investigate So they know what's going on Yeah Roll a listen check in the spot check Listen is Seven spot is uh 12 14 sir Okay, okay

[02:14:53] So you see a a big meaty paw of one of the zyclots like On the ground it looks like it's like he's like it looks like it's fallen and it's just like

[02:15:02] It's arm is limp out of the doorway on the round to the ramp of the uh of the shuttle um and The deeper inside the shuttle you hear like groans and like kind of some like small like kind of weak

[02:15:18] weak um like pattern of like voices like what what's going on What happened? Um and as you get closer Through you see that like two of the zyclot. There's two zyclots and a couple of angara that are down on the ground like motionless

[02:15:36] But there's a bunch of them both angara and zyclot that uh that are also like In and around the seating and stuff of that and they're just like shaking their heads and like kind of like in a in a stupor Okay

[02:15:53] And and one of them looks one of the angara looks up to you. It's like What are you? Uh, do you know where you are right now? buzzing said I recall Zuh zuh zai kala But the buzzing stopped it's quiet finally it's so quiet

[02:16:19] He started the same gara starts crying like visibly crying um like shedding tears and it's like I That sound has been in my head for so long It's okay What what who are you? My name is merrick and i'll help you get out of here

[02:16:43] Thank you others also, um, okay, or do they need a bull or two in them? Uh, do you want to roll a medicine check on the ones on the ground or or the other?

[02:16:59] Sammy pipe says that in your ear is like hey is a merrick would you mind uh uh making a megal medicine check on them uh Some people down there. Um, so the people that are like motionless on the ground they're dead Uh, their brains have been cooked

[02:17:17] Their brains have been cooked um and uh The ones that are um that are like kind of discombobulated and in a stupor state. Um, they seem to have uh There seems to be suffering from some kind of head trauma

[02:17:34] But are otherwise in in all right conditions. I mean all things considered Are any of them armed? um Yeah, um, no they've they've kind of discarded their they're they've kind of discarded their weapons in their stupor and in their

[02:17:49] Uh in their current state, but uh a couple of them have are still like kind of armed like they still have like stuff in their Holsters and such fine as long as I can take them because that's profit. All right. Um I love it

[02:18:03] Uh one of the zyclists looks over it's like well Can you we need to get we need to get back to? uh tizata we need to we need to report back what What is the time cycle? Like he seems rather confused

[02:18:21] How can I even tell him what the time cycle is like? That's very good question You you do know that there's some zyclots upstairs upstairs upstairs in orbit that that would know like the proper time cycles and stuff

[02:18:36] Of that if you want to contact them or or you could just give them the circumstances that uh, like who's at war with each other currently Yeah, uh, however as that yeah as you're dealing with that

[02:18:48] Um, okay as you bring that up to speed we'll we'll cut back. We'll cut away from from uh, america So up disc He's holding on to that uh that like pretty pretty tightly

[02:19:02] So what do you what does opto squad do let go or or continue biting? I mean given the situation The big the big guy just picked you up and just started like throwing you Yeah

[02:19:16] Yeah, I imagine this is almost like feel like like how a dog feels like when they're like doing tug of war with a rope But in like a different slightly different direction All right

[02:19:27] Yeah, what is up um, whenever my dog pulls away my the rope that he has um, and he like wins a little fight with me He'll swing it around and he usually like hits me in the fucking chins with I'm not winning this Nice

[02:19:44] To be fair, yeah off disc is technically the rope in this situation Fine one at that. All right Okay All right, I'll just roll uh Yep, hang on i'm gonna just roll a all right

[02:20:09] Uh that engar just took another took took a hit to that as he started like he just like because it was like um Suddenly you let go while he was being flailed around so

[02:20:21] Uh, so now you're trying you're gonna you're gonna try and break out of uh derga's trying to hold me No, if you don't want me to hold you I'm a team player

[02:20:36] So derga, you notice that he's like the that after the varin like releases the the engara who just crumples into the wall Uh at a bit of a clip

[02:20:46] Then begins like kind of like pushing it like how a dog does when you try holding it for too long and it doesn't like that Fair enough. All right, he's the engara and you release up to so a little

[02:20:59] What I mean, I'll let him go all right the engara is still alive um Okay, well that that's the end of your turn basically, okay is like yeah um And uh Yeah, um next up is um Tommy

[02:21:21] Oh, okay. I'm here. So um lia just got attacked by a just got speared uh plasma and then speared by by the uh, the the giant lumbering zyclot that came out of the flames from the uh, The terminal so what do you want to do with that?

[02:21:37] i'm going to uh Uh Uh Yeah, I am apparently still cloaked. Oh crap. I just lost my page. Give me one second. Um Shit um so So he's an act okay. I think I should probably go help a bellow Sure. Yeah

[02:27:08] Tingling feeling all throughout your body as your biotics kind of like react to something in the that the passes through this corridor I'm and you see this angara just like Just kind of like stiffen up and just like

[02:27:25] You see the the the angry purple energy in its eye um burst Not his actual eyes But his but just the purple energy that's like kind of that that was like occupying the spot the same spot as his biological eyes

[02:27:41] That purple light bursts and he like closes his eyes very tightly and then like so it's like holding his head And then holding his like wounds that you've inflicted on him was like oh and he just drops to his knees In like pain and befuddlement and confusion

[02:27:58] So uh and again, you hear like him Uh derga you hear him like whisper something Oh, can I do a listen check to see if I can understand what he's saying? Yep He says They're firing biotic officers at us return fire not me you idiots the torpedoes

[02:36:48] Okay, fair enough. Otherwise I'm just gonna kill an innocent. Um sense motive. Oh, that's just a straight whiz check for me And let's see what I got for whiz. Wait, I can sense motive Wrong game, Aaron minus one Fuck Uh, does a 16 total work? okay

[02:37:08] His eyes are no longer flaring up the purple energy of a zan The entire purpose of you guys being here was to eliminate the zan from these people It's very likely in your krogan brain Part of it is saying, okay, this guy is no longer a threat

[02:37:27] But I'm you will you can do with that what you will krogan you do you I'm not gonna tell you what i'm gonna do specifically unless I actually succeed on it So i'm gonna do another grapple So strength check

[02:37:43] Let's go for a quick and just snap his neck Um, he was basically standing there like wobbling as you stand up. There may as well be an announcement Yeah, basically you're ready to

[02:37:55] I oh yeah, basically he's a fatality like he's he's prepped for a fatality if you wanted to 12 plus 6 is 18. So do I grapple him? Yes You you grapple him. He's like What I uh, I just give him a crank and bear hug and say Welcome back bud

[02:38:15] Thanks. Welcome back bud. Oh, he just like he like passes out Yeah, this time I figured out that the the purple eyes going away means Good. Yeah, that means thumbs up. Yep. You now have a limp angar and Angar and body in your mind

[02:38:31] You're not sure if you popped a spinal cord or like he's just been knocked out from like the uh from from his injuries And then you bear hug you you krogen hunt hungry. Uh, krogen hugging him, but uh, yeah, he's out. He's He's out for the cut

[02:38:49] I'll just uh, I'll just carry him on my shoulder. I'm pretty sure I feel false dad He just flops over your shoulder like a fucking wet rag or like a wet mop Or uh, it's gonna be uh, he's gonna help us be a study buddy

[02:39:00] I'm gonna take him back to the ship if he's willing. Sure Crick crick is just like comes out of the The hallway and like it's following you and just like I guess we did it, did we Consent is important Sure

[02:39:19] Yep. All right. Um on to uh, the evil zyclot that is uh attacking uh, tommy and uh, lia Tell me and um, so it uh, he is going to just charge at both of you um and uh He gets about mid charge

[02:39:42] When the when his head just explodes um like the energy Just burns like his eye just pops both the energy of the purple energy the purple haze from the zan And his actual eyeball pop um, and he just goes slack And continues kind of like

[02:40:05] Like post mortem fault like running and flailing at you So both of you need to roll a reflex to get out of the way of this. Uh, this charging corpse Wait, who? You can't see Um You can you could uh, you can roll a reflex but uh

[02:40:30] It'll be a harder reflex, but you could roll a reflex. You'll just end up like tearing the um the cape I could think of ways over the left Mm-hmm. Yeah, honestly like yeah, what else is there something else you can think of to do?

[02:40:47] Um, the reflex is just sort of the the first like like go-to thing is just like, uh get out of the way of this This oncoming uh meat uh meat weight that is coming at you Charge tommy Right next to me

[02:41:02] Exactly, it'll still well tommy could like magically have tommy you out of being Uh pinned to the wall still right hey tommy It'd be a fortitude save but biotic hug Biotic it knocks him back anyway. So basically like you will be moving five feet to do it

[02:41:29] That is true Okay So I think it's a total of six, but it's plus three. So give me one second I will roll it Ah, that's a fail 12

[02:41:57] Okay, so does tommy just go like splay like just go like uh, flying to the ground with leah on top of him Yeah Well, yeah, so yeah, yeah, so leah you it still pushes them back the five. No it doesn't

[02:42:17] It pushed him the five people he doesn't it doesn't incur a fortitude save actually Yep, sorry for I've also forgot that you guys have shields in this game You're not prone regardless

[02:42:31] But if you have no shields then you have to do a fortitude save or go fly across. Okay. Okay. I believe that's right. Yeah uh, okay, so Yeah, regardless you you managed to do that and it pulls you just out of harm's way as this like massive

[02:42:51] weight and meat just like flops into the the wall that you were just at um, leah Uh, you you check out your cape and there is like a clean cut where the spear cut and then where you biologically charged away from the the spear

[02:43:09] The uh, and yeah, yeah, you look oh you look back and the the the body just like Just slides down from the wall and just is leaving a motion on the ground um And uh, you guys get your communications back and sammy contacts you both

[02:43:31] Uh, uh agent agent leah, uh, I can't remember what leah's like last name is Yeah Is it donna? yeah, uh agent donna and uh agent uh johnson The operation proton torpedo appears to have worked uh the Captain proton torpedo

[02:43:57] Theo has has made planet fall using the uh, uh the the specialized biotic cannon we have upon the wolf pack And it has created a cascading feedback loop of biotic energy throughout the crystal core which appears to be destroying The zan within the host bodies

[02:44:17] Unfortunate and he starts relaying this over like all your comms at this point like he's talking like you guys as a whole um, it appears that uh From the from the information i'm able to access uh from the city's uh sensors

[02:44:32] Now that the communications array has been has been uh taken down um It does appear that uh 49 percent of the of the population has suffered faith fatalities as a result of the uh The exercising of the zan it's more than 100 percent of them um

[02:44:57] It uh the the rest of the the host bodies or the the freed engara and zyclots appear to uh appear to be in a state of of confusion and uh Uh and and disrepair or so, uh Congratulations pathfinders and wolf pack crew. Uh, it appears that uh zycala

[02:45:23] Has been cleansed of the zan threat hell yeah um everybody gives yourselves a round of applause um, so We're gonna do a slight smash cut or like a slight slight transition as you guys all kind of reconvene like from the like all the group that's like like thio

[02:45:44] Tommy and And uh leah you guys all meet up in that course that court area and then you guys follow the the corridors to Where durga crick and optis car um Uh, you guys both parties now have a

[02:46:01] Have a secondary care have have enough have a character like tagging along with them one a zyclot and one an unconscious And brutalized engara Um Yeah, uh optisk is thrilled to see leah Um, he's covered in blood

[02:46:19] Like his mouth is just covered goaded in blood or her her Yeah, it's yeah, it's not her it's not her own but it's yeah um

[02:46:29] Yeah, it's thrilled to see you it like lat your your visor is smeared with with a bit of a sloth of pharynce liva and engar and blood And As you guys make it to the Uh, the the doorway that goes into the uh

[02:46:46] The hanger bay that you guys had brought the shuttle into maryk. What is dave? Dave? What is maryk? What do they see of maryk? What what happened with maryk? Whatever do you mean? Yeah, or

[02:47:00] What what is the what does the crew see as as as they make it back to the the shuttle bay area where you guys left maryk to defend off the shuttle there's a um a second drop ship

[02:47:09] that like there's our kodiak and then there's a um a zan Dropship nearby and there's um a couple of like yeah biotic explosion Marks on the ground near them near it on the side of the ship. There's this huge like um scarring that looks like some

[02:47:27] sort of energy waves sort of went across it to scar the side of the ship and um There's a uh, there's another blast probably like there's another like a go to plasma explosion outside of the the ramp that goes down it and uh And yeah, and maryk is

[02:47:48] I guess in the doorway to that ship talking to Angara and uh zyclots that are inside it right now Yeah, there's also a number of dead zyclot angara in the hangar bay as well What is there?

[02:48:09] At least I think there's a there was there's one zyclot and then like four angara There's right right of two of them There's a dead one Right and then there's a uh A zyclot. Yes. The other one is not there Yes Um

[02:48:31] And yeah, uh, that's what you guys see as you come into the the hangar bay Also, I should point out the the zyclot um shuttle uh is Uh, how did I describe it last time? Yeah, Dave?

[02:48:50] It was like the the base of it is like very much like kind of like a brick or like a like a like a rectangular cube Sort of uh, sort of bottom structure where like the the cockpit is on the front and then there's like a

[02:49:03] A ramp door on the side that goes that that goes into like a large a large cavity Where like all the seating and whatnot is and then the engines are on the back The the top of it though is like that weird

[02:49:15] Is like a weird metallic coral like construction that has these um, but you should describe it for the audience Yeah, I've tried to describe it for the audience as well. Um the uh, the the the top of this like cubic like uh, like rectangular structure is

[02:49:35] Has like these large jutting spiky crystals that like look like they Unfold they fold and unfold out like uh almost like a flower depending on when the ship is landed or when it's in the air um The crystal like uh structure kind of reminds would remind people

[02:49:54] of anime viewers of um Rio oki from Tentu moio uh as a starship so Yeah And davis posted what it looks what the rio oki Structure looks like or ship looks like in general trend. Is that but the bottom is like a box so that's almost spiky

[02:50:15] Yeah, basically basically um So yeah, how's uh, yeah, what do you guys react to that? What a big chocolate Well, theo like looks like a uh, maryk is is doing really well on his uh

[02:50:40] His uh his training or his his field his field experience for becoming a pathfinder A wave over to the group is walking up sorry I was just saying uh, well for theo it looks like maryks. Uh, well on his way for uh, his

[02:50:55] Field experience of becoming a pathfinder Much better than yeah. Yeah, it looks that way Oh, yeah, uh, davie would what does maryk do? Basically if i'm noticing them all

[02:51:12] A wave over to them or are they even looking in this direction or are they just going to the kodiak I I would imagine like you they would see everything that happened in the room So unless they're unless they're all just like walking to the kodiak ignoring

[02:51:30] To go with the signs of combat over there, it's fine Yeah Uh, what is everybody doing? Are you guys like actually going to talk with maryk or or like intercept maryk? Are you guys going to just go straight to the All

[02:51:54] And again all the carnage what did leah do sorry josh all right fuck this and just go into the fucking shuttle Derrick uh I'm going to attempt to wake up or past a New friend and see if he wants to come with us as an advisor Roll medicine

[02:52:22] Yeah, maybe I'll get lucky. Um, I've had a pretty good night tonight. I got two crits um Madison if we were croaking Straight int so that would just be a one Intimidate Yeah, what eight at 15 15 um

[02:52:49] Total so he did he's not like his back isn't broken, but he definitely needs to get some like medical attention Not just metagel But like like can we talk to him now? No, he's unconscious from the pain

[02:53:02] I guess i'm gonna take him to the med bay and just bring it out for a little bit Okay Yeah, either way on the call I'll check in with everyone and check make sure that everyone's okay

[02:53:19] It's just hey, it seems like you guys are like like I used to guys didn't see me waving Did everything go okay in there? It's been a long day fair enough It hasn't been a walk in the park out here uh with the kodiak either that

[02:53:40] Uh, yeah, whoever whoever gets to the cockpit first you realize that like uh, sammy is actually in control of the shuttle Wait at the moment the sammy could have flown this thing the entire time Maybe why were we doing yes, uh I am only authorized in emergencies

[02:54:08] There was an emergency don't worry. It's fine. I'll tell you about it later there's a regardless though. There's a group of um In garrison zyclots with me here Um, I've basically hot wired this ship So if you guys want to take that back to the wolf pack, I'll

[02:54:28] Make sure that I get this back to the wolf pack too. I guess Yeah Um, actually marik while you were like talking to those zyclots and stuff of that

[02:54:38] Did you want to try and recruit one of them to be your pilot? Does anyone know how to fly a ship here? Uh, roll a diplomacy 15 They all kind of like look at each other and like the one that's not the the one that's the least

[02:55:05] discombobulated and confused and concussed from the The whole event of what has happened kind of like steps forward. It's like Uh, I can do it. I mean it's yeah, I can do it untrained. I just figured you'd be uh More used to this sort of tech

[02:55:23] Well, and I mean you don't have a third uh like the ergonomics is all wrong for your species that seems probably um Okay, then um

[02:55:34] Follow that kodiak and we'll bring it back to our ship and uh deep brief you guys and figure out what to do from there Very well, and he just like I've gets into the position of the uh, the the strange zyclot

[02:55:49] uh, economically correct chair, uh, like cock pilot chair or cock pilot Fit chair And uh and like grabs onto like the the the two arm like handles On either side of it and begins like taking it in or taking it out of the uh

[02:56:08] Begins taking it out of the um Uh the hangar bay and following the the shuttle as uh, who's who is are you guys going to uh

[02:56:15] Just like have sammy pilot back up to the ship. Are you gonna is somebody going to take the reins of the the kodiak shuttle? I'll take the range job so far All right, sure. Roll pilot I have a good pilot. Um, uh, I just had shit like that

[02:56:32] I like uh I'm in a little pee Okay, well, let's use the clear dice this time Okay, this is a 28 work Yeah, you managed to easily

[02:56:48] Fly up into space to the the wolf radio ahead to tell them that there's a zyclot ship following the kodiak and it's fine So we don't get wasted. Yeah They Fire It's just that scene from orbit of above ranok where they just all like unleash Oh, yeah, no

[02:57:12] All the other people destroyed america's fine, but he's just floating in space This is fine. This is fine. Yeah. No. Um, yeah you you managed to um Send a friendly, uh call sign Uh and uh, yeah, um it it scrapes into the wolf pack hanger bay, but

[02:57:35] uh that uh that zyclotian, um shuttle does uh it does manage to um For uh like kind of curl back its it's uh, it's crystalline uh like prongs

[02:57:48] And and allow it to like fit into the uh into into a space on the in the hanger of the the wolf pack so thank god On the best you know, that's what did actually work. Yeah, america you're gonna

[02:58:02] Yeah, america, I don't want to like do some maybe more some more uh some more work on that uh on that shuttle You guys are gonna keep that if you're your plan is to keep that thing Yep

[02:58:14] And then um as you guys are kind of getting out of the shuttles and stuff of that Like punisher arise like all the all the other crew members like kind of rush over like rush out like down the elevator

[02:58:23] And you guys hear the the the worrying like mechanical sounds of stelly in her suit like This one is ready to assist with holy moly of the incandlers And uh, yeah, um we uh We uh we we cut away from that scene

[02:58:48] Um, it's been some time later like but a day has gone by uh as people have been like looked over and looked at and such um, and you guys are all in the communications uh, the communications room um with

[02:59:06] Uh holographic projections of the helios of the helios council as well as Uh glanx knee and uh the zyclot Fighters uh or the zyclot um freedom fighters that were in the uh that were in orbit around uh

[02:59:24] The the planet that zycala was on which you guys find finally find out or like i forgot to mention it But the the planet itself that zycala Was on the city ship was on was not actually called zycala. It's called um uh zyclothal

[02:59:39] Um because it is the zyclot home world Uh, but it has been reclaimed um because as Um as as an as a day's worth of scans and and what have you have kind of come up with

[02:59:52] um, there are no zan uh as far as as far sensors can pick up um Uh on the on the planet or at least on uh like in any of the the the infrastructure Um that's down on the planet

[03:00:09] So it seems the plan worked the uh the crystal once the biota once the oh's biotech charge through the the ret cannon um Hit the the the crystal um superstructure It sent off that cascade which basically burned out the zan from any of any inhabitants

[03:00:29] Um down on the planet So good job guys You guys were um You guys were worried big what come Hmm words usually help uh He's talking about the service attack. Yes potential service attack

[03:00:58] Oh, yeah, there's some of the service however like again like you guys needed some hours to like like unfortunately that was going to have All right, I'd pay ahead like we have waited this far. This is the state first. Yeah Yeah, no, I know yep

[03:01:11] A day like it took a day to like get everything like sorted out and figured out even with you guys so um Unless you guys want to like say like no, okay. Let's get everybody on the ship and just like Yeah, just like all right Glanky

[03:01:29] You got your plan back. We're out peace And just we got shit to do like drop on them basically what? There's another one. Just like we got shit to do. Well, let's go Peace Yeah

[03:01:44] Yeah, do you guys want to do that or do you want to have like a day go by because it's gonna take about a day for like things to

[03:01:48] Like people to recover and things to do or you guys can just like pull ass to go to the uh The uh the next uh or like to the the other objective that was presented Well, we should definitely rest that was an intense Uh, that was intense

[03:02:06] Much rest how worrisome was the message that we got so It's a at this point. It's been 10 days since since uh Since the surface Uh since since a since a splinter cell of Cerberus who have made its way into Andromeda Has hijacked your fuel

[03:02:30] What what you surmise is probably hijacked, uh either a fuel ship or the entire fuel depot Uh when you guys I'll say when you get yeah, I'll say when you guys get up onto the ship

[03:02:40] You find out that like your entire fuel depot like that in the praxe londar rift has gone dark communications are gone Like they are not all right. So you guys know as we're flying over there

[03:02:54] If the time it takes from us to okay and get there that is your nap time Well, yeah, actually let's see how long it's going to take you to get to the uh to that sector of space

[03:03:05] All versus iCloud and our friends wherever the hell they want probably on the planet that we just claimed them for Yeah, we yeah I'm gonna add it's midnight Yeah, we know we're it's going to be going going to next session. That's that one

[03:04:07] Welp, uh, yeah, so that that's so while while you guys are on We'll say that like the the the the communications like with like the zyclot and all that stuff is going on that's like that Yeah, that's happening in transit to the uh, the refueling depot

[03:04:22] So yeah, you it's been about a day since uh, since that happened You guys have been like in ftl like traveling but like you still have access to The quantum entangled buoys and such um So yeah, um the uh The engara that you that uh that derga um

[03:04:40] Her or derga like took out or like just like, uh, sub dude He's fine. He eventually recovers um for the for the most part like he's Broke he's got a broken leg. Uh a couple of broken ribs Um, uh his his collarbone is fractured His uh clap

[03:05:04] Yes, he has very much like that. Yeah, it's kind of it's kind of Silly in a way Um, his he's suffering some definitely suffering the same kind of like uh strange like head trauma

[03:05:16] um that a lot of the uh the surviving uh hosts of the zan have suffered And um, yeah other than that he's he's he's awake. Um Derga you're gonna try and recruit him Was that what you want to do? Well, yeah, I mean I wanted to talk to

[03:05:34] I wasn't gonna force him I just wanted to see if he would you know like to stay on board as an advisor a couple of times Okay, well he wakes up and so he sees this giant Brogan face

[03:05:46] And like shirks back a bit and then like something something breaks something cracks in his uh his arms Yes Hey there bud. Uh you want to uh Do you want to be friends?

[03:06:05] We got somebody over here who's sleeping right now like right close to you who like is all of that friendship and we need somebody who We need somebody of your stature to give us a lot more information maybe some insight into what's going on here in this uh

[03:06:22] In this galaxy Roll a diplomacy Oh, no Um, I don't think I'm a minus but let's see I can't remember Uh diplomacy. Oh shit I should have intimidated him This is a minus this is a minus three so hopefully

[03:06:50] Oh, no way I got a 1916. Does that do anything? Uh Well, uh, I was I did run some of the infrastructure some of the the communications arrays on

[03:07:04] Uh in the in the navachi system. I guess I could I I guess I could do that was a long I was like What time is it and then still uh Stelly gives a start like like what the date is and stuff of that like for

[03:07:19] That that he might be able to understand And it's just like oh, oh so it's two years. Um I I guess I could I I'm you're gonna have to give me some time man I'm um just uh Taking that you know

[03:07:37] for now you're you're hanging out with us, but uh If you need to be dropped off We will I'm not gonna keep you here if you don't want to be here. We will have to drop you out. All right What

[03:07:55] Uh, we can get the alliance to help us out if we need okay, so Yeah, he's gonna need some time to reflect on it. Yeah, it's like all right That's cool. We're done basically in this cluster. We're doing this and heading home

[03:08:09] No, we need an advisor for this cluster Yeah Um, it's not a bad idea. Okay. I just realized he might become the uh the praxe law at riffs and garran pathfinder Anyway, um, yeah, so that's that guy um The uh zyclot, uh hanks

[03:08:33] Um stayed on the ship the other the other I'll say like for like you guys dumped off the other zyclot in angara That were on the that were in the zyclot shuttle Back onto glanx knee's ships and stuff like that. So they're being taken care of there um

[03:08:48] And uh, so yeah, you guys are are on the uh in the communications communications room talking with the the council and and uh and glanx knee and such um and uh Yeah, um the uh the council um is very very thrilled with the news that

[03:09:07] you guys managed to Take take out the xan, uh or like that were that were enslaving Uh the the various species that were in the praxe law at rift um they are

[03:09:21] Uh a bit however that is kind of overshadowed like that victory is a bit overshadowed by the fact that like there is this pressing issue of like a you're the uh the refueling depots have gone dark in the curl the curlien system

[03:09:35] So you guys are on their way there And you know what? We'll settle this this whole figure that we'll we'll settle the victories and stuff like that when you guys have dealt with that so um

[03:09:49] They uh as the communications uh system turns off and you guys go and like Get ready and recover for the for the next thing that's an issue We'll call the session for a close there Or we'll call the session to a close there So comments question suggestions

[03:10:08] Oh, I get Nothing because i'm just I feel like I did it all tonight. I did it all I Fought I negotiated. I I didn't do any tech stuff, but that's because I suck at it, but yeah I think this was honestly, I think this was my favorite

[03:10:30] Up to the state Thank you. It is really well done your ability to juggle was just epic Yeah, I mean, you know Um, you can't you can't judge epic How many huge you explode? Yeah, no, I mean Yeah, yeah Uh, it's a little excessive. I mean

[03:10:58] Dave do you do we want to tell them what sure what we did last week? Basically because last week you're in game um Chris wanted to figure out what Would have happened to merc while

[03:11:13] The way team is way doing their things because they're they were way doing stuff for a while and merc was just basically doing nothing so pretty much what happened was um, Chris just ran a solo game for me

[03:11:25] As I as we figured out what the hell happened to him. What happened was He was like The uh Like he was there was some random um Like crates full of shit. So he was grabbing some of that stuff to bring back for research and all that

[03:11:44] And um, he was like looking at the zan dropship and everything And he like hacked into the discord and all that shit then all of a sudden a dude showed up behind him like a zan Shot him in the back of the head It hit his shields obviously

[03:11:58] But then a gun gun fight ensued Uh grenade was thrown at at merc but he like biologically threw it back back out of the wind out of the door there is uh Yeah, well let's give them all the details. I will be I will be editing the

[03:12:16] Okay, cool. Okay. Yeah sure going over that because I we did we did record it It is actually going to be a session because it was originally We're gonna be like if it didn't go too long, but I mean we ran a combat

[03:12:27] So of course it went through it There was a total of like four Angara that he was fighting um, he like Yes, like a combat roll out of the dropship rolled down the the ramp um and then

[03:12:45] Pulled up his omni shield that he recently got but hasn't used yet and it was like Constantly getting like absorbing bullets while he was shooting other bullets back And before he even dealt with a single one a fucking zai clot showed up behind him

[03:12:57] So it's a total of five enemies he had to deal with As he was like basically just backing up with the shield up absorbing bullets um, he exploded a couple of them with uh incinerate and warp combos and um

[03:13:13] Cut the zai clot down with the minigun and um shotguns the The last guy off the ledge as he was hanging by his fingertips Then he hacked and outwired the zain ship so he could uh Potentially steal it. Yeah, that's intense

[03:13:34] So when they tried to they when they tried to when they rushed into all those zain that were like zain controlled zai clots And angara that were trying to run into the hangar They ran for that that shuttle to try and escape the uh the cascade and

[03:13:47] It wouldn't turn on like he couldn't get it. He had to It wasn't smooth like i tried to throw a grenade and it blew up right in my face Because i rolled a one did not work very well. Yep It was concerning Yeah

[03:14:04] But yeah, so that was merrick's um, uh between a roar car between a row car and a hot place session so Um, yeah, I figured I wanted to like see like what was merrick doing it all this time

[03:14:17] Like since we had the and we had the opportunity to kind of do that So on the side of the ship and um the biotic explosion of Everest around the area and such Yeah

[03:14:33] But yeah, is there anything else you guys want to bring up about this episode specifically or I am good. I really enjoyed it You know, I didn't do very much but you know I did it all I did a lot of combat erin are you okay?

[03:14:48] And like there was a tiny bit But like considering the time it's good that it um got cut short the way it is because that was the that was the goal was to Yeah

[03:14:58] Well, yeah, yeah to be fair like yeah the combats were never gonna like assuming like Like everything went well like I wanted there to be like a little bit of an of a Of an obstacle for you guys to get down there. All right

[03:15:09] The communications arrays are like blocking your signals because you're in this like massive city ship So I wanted like to have some of that and then like See if anything would notice you guys and you guys kept rolling really well

[03:15:21] And I kept really rolling really shitty on spot checks and stuff and search checks From from the the enemies when they when you guys were like hiding and move silently across the The the ship and stuff like that so um Yeah, I I

[03:15:37] We're trying to tie up the the zen conflict. So Um I think I think it worked really well But At the most paragon option that we could in this situation I Yeah, you saved most of them And I'll see like yeah like erin like your like your biotic

[03:16:01] Like when you charge down there and I had you roll the the biotic um The the the biotics and then rolled the percentiles that was basically to try and like See how much minimize damage this was going to cause so your bi

[03:16:14] When you rolled like you're like when you got like 31 or 32 on your biotics I actually subtracted that from the result I made or the result uh from the um Uh, I I I subtracted that result from The uh the percentage check you did

[03:16:31] Um because that percentage check was seeing how many fatalities are we're going to be? From uh from basically like zan burnout like because yeah, you're burning a you're burning an Energy being out of somebody's head. So Yeah There were gonna be some casualties

[03:16:49] Oh, so we did him a favor For the ones that survived Yeah, I mean they're gonna have to like definitely get looked at and like probably like some medical attention because like they They all are suffering from some kind of like mental trauma

[03:17:03] Or even like uh like um blood like some of my blood uh was concussive trauma almost um because this thing's like Something physically was removed from their head Or met a metaphysically and physically removed from their from their heads. So Jesus

[03:17:19] Yeah, jesus by I keep your finger out of there son. We son But I mean it's better than you know Bombarding the the the city ship from orbit and destroying everything down there We can do one or two

[03:17:34] You could have done that but you that would have been that was the renegade option of basically just nuking it from orbit Basically, we're gonna be quicker. We would have got back. Yeah

[03:17:43] Save the fuel depot easier. Yeah, you would have been able to deal with that thing. Yeah Yeah But uh, I'm thinking we have like one more session with the the the fuel depot thing and then um

[03:17:59] We'll do like an epilogue sort of game where it's just like where like like when you guys get back to the helios cluster How things shape up for everybody? So but uh Yeah, if there's nothing else to say, um, I will

[03:18:17] Uh, I will kick the bot out and uh, we'll see y'all next time internet Bye We love you internet
