Actual Play - Red Markets T-Minus - EP 2 Special Delivery

[00:00:04] Hello and welcome to the Roleplaying Exchange. I'm Nick, and I will be your market today. We're playing Red Markets T-Minus dot dot dot, the war campaign we're running here. And we're back with session two for the Salty Dogs, who have made a decision about what side they want to back.

[00:00:28] We'll have each member introduce themselves in alphabetical order, starting with Adam.

[00:00:35] Hey guys, this is Adam and I am going to be playing Shake. Now Shake is one of the custom builds we're kind of playing with right now. I'm clicking on my character sheet.

[00:00:46] So I am playing as a Fringer, so you know, I've got some definitely some strengths and weaknesses that I paid for my expenses that I learned about here.

[00:00:57] But Shake lives, if I'm not mistaken, this class lives actually outside of the Enclave a tad bit. So I kind of commute to work, so to speak.

[00:01:06] And I'm running a hydroponics thing with my wife or girlfriend. I can't remember her say what she was, because it's been over a month.

[00:01:14] But yeah, I'm looking forward to putting a wrench in DHQS's plans.

[00:01:20] That is the future mother of your child you're talking about there, Adam.

[00:01:26] And with that, it brings it to me. Hi, I'm Brownie. I'm playing Road Salt. He is a maintenance engineer with the mine.

[00:01:35] He was a crash hero, enabling people to shelter in the mine during the crash and helping save things there.

[00:01:41] And he has a superpower and a super weakness, which is that he cannot help but tell unfunny jokes.

[00:01:48] But what if he does say a funny joke? Does that mean that's the end of his character?

[00:01:52] He just implodes.

[00:01:54] I leave that up to the market.

[00:01:57] Take us over to Crazon?

[00:01:58] Yep, I was like, wait, E before C? No, nope.

[00:02:03] Hi, I'm Crazon, or not RPX's Chris.

[00:02:07] I will be playing Balto, who was a paramedic right at the crash and brought his ambulance over to the mine and then shit went down.

[00:02:18] And he decided to just stay at the mines with his loving shambulance.

[00:02:26] So he's got a little bit of survivor's guilt and some remorse about that.

[00:02:30] So he's trying to make amends while also trying to do what's right by his and get as much bounty as he can so he can keep his shambulance, his baby, fueled.

[00:02:43] So, yeah, he's the transporter.

[00:02:47] I am Ethan.

[00:02:49] I'm playing St. Bernard, the fenceman who survived a, I don't know, some kind of dramatic event that left him detached, tracked in detachment.

[00:03:03] Now he's here in this enclave.

[00:03:07] King of the Taker.

[00:03:08] Okay.

[00:03:10] At the end of last job, the Salty Dogs were asked to help both sides of an upcoming fight between the DHQS and the Moths.

[00:03:23] After deliberation, they decided that they were best throwing their hat in with the Moths and are going to help them with the upcoming assault on Settlement Liberty, the site of Fort Leavenworth and the Leavenworth prison.

[00:03:44] So after their communications were set up with their handlers, they will be getting jobs or being told about jobs from two handlers.

[00:03:57] One is the Moth operative who's directly in charge of the assault, a Caroline Ward.

[00:04:05] She will be offering jobs to them directly.

[00:04:09] And the other one is the Moth operative who's already in charge of regional relations and stuff like that, intelligence gathering.

[00:04:19] He is Alexander Rader.

[00:04:21] He will tell them about various jobs that he knows about, that they should go and apply for, and help improve relations between the Moths and the people, and maybe get a little support or favors from them in the future.

[00:04:40] In addition to that, there's other jobs that they may find and wish to take.

[00:04:44] They won't have any direct effect on the assault, but who knows what they can find out there in the loss.

[00:04:51] These two handlers also were the people that they saved last time from the DHQS attack squad.

[00:04:58] With that little background information out of the way, I guess it's time for vignettes for everybody.

[00:05:06] Would anybody like to volunteer to go first?

[00:05:09] Anybody?

[00:05:10] All right.

[00:05:10] All right, cowards, I'll do it.

[00:05:13] Okay.

[00:05:15] So, St. Bernard, who are you going to do a vignette with and what type of vignette?

[00:05:22] Let's see, I will do a vignette with Anna, adopted daughter.

[00:05:26] Now refresh me on the types of vignettes.

[00:05:30] There's engage with the community, where you do, it's more of like enclave building, where you do stuff in the enclave with your dependent, and something may come up that you have to talk out or deal with.

[00:05:47] Either through the enclave or your dependent.

[00:05:51] There's bare burden, which your dependent will, or I believe it's bare burden.

[00:05:57] It's probably some other name in the book, where the dependent has some need that you need to meet.

[00:06:03] Usually, it's financially burdensome to you.

[00:06:09] And the other one is cope, where you basically vent and talk things out about what's stressing you out to your dependents.

[00:06:20] And you might have some flashbacks that are troublesome or something like that.

[00:06:28] You can probably option B.

[00:06:31] Bare burden?

[00:06:33] Yes.

[00:06:34] Okay.

[00:06:36] So, who would like to play, you said Anna, not Hannah?

[00:06:40] Anna, yes.

[00:06:41] A-N-A.

[00:06:42] Who would like to play Anna?

[00:06:45] I'll be Hannah.

[00:06:46] I've been around high school kids for 13 years.

[00:06:49] Okay.

[00:06:50] Ethan, what is Anna like?

[00:06:51] And what will you be doing with her?

[00:06:54] So, I picture Anna as young, probably like seven or eight years old.

[00:06:59] Kind of.

[00:07:00] I am quiet.

[00:07:02] She's a latent.

[00:07:03] I imagine St. Bernard found while traveling from his, maybe from his previous enclave.

[00:07:11] And has basically adopted her.

[00:07:14] Okay.

[00:07:15] So, where will you be talking to Anna?

[00:07:17] Or what will you be doing when talking to Anna?

[00:07:21] Then it's usually like a financial.

[00:07:23] Yeah, it's usually Anna needs something from you.

[00:07:27] I don't know if she wants a, maybe she wants it like a toy teddy bear or something.

[00:07:32] Okay.

[00:07:33] We could say that you guys are over at, over at, let me look at the neighborhoods.

[00:07:39] At Corrections, the old prison.

[00:07:43] She's not necessarily locked up, but that is where Latents tend to sleep so they don't die and wreak havoc on the enclave.

[00:07:53] Um, it's got its own little fenced off area too, because it was a former prison.

[00:07:58] So, you guys can be there.

[00:08:00] And feel free to start whenever you guys want.

[00:08:03] So I imagine there's like some decent security.

[00:08:07] They're not like, not like gigantic doors and armed guards or anything, but like, just trying to like picture.

[00:08:14] Yeah, the, the old prison setup is still there. Like there's still the fencing and the, the gates and everything.

[00:08:21] They, they still kept that up, but it's not like constant armed guard watching the Latents.

[00:08:28] I imagine that like whatever, like solid door, steel door to whatever wing they're, they're staying in.

[00:08:36] He, you know, steps up and almost like hesitates his hand almost, almost goes for his gun, but he like, brings it up to the door handle instead.

[00:08:48] Walks on in.

[00:08:49] Is on edge the whole time walking over to wherever Anna's being kept.

[00:08:55] Santa call you dad?

[00:08:58] Uh, sure.

[00:09:00] Okay.

[00:09:03] Oh, oh, hey dad. How are you?

[00:09:05] She's got an old, uh, I mean, I'm trying to think of what it would be.

[00:09:09] She's got one of those old versions of the mousetrap board game you've ever seen.

[00:09:13] It's the, but it's missing pieces and she's just kind of setting up, trying to make traps that she could put like the little figure, little mouse in and catch it.

[00:09:22] She, how are you doing?

[00:09:24] I'm doing all right there.

[00:09:26] And maybe a bit of a scrap last time it went out, but it came up nicely.

[00:09:33] Oh, oh, that's, that's good.

[00:09:35] That's good.

[00:09:36] That's good.

[00:09:36] I had, I've just kind of been, you know, they go into school and I'm the only one in the class, but it's okay that miss, uh, miss Irene, she's been, uh, teaching me stuff.

[00:09:52] Like we've been going through the books that they have to, and you know, so like I guess out of character, just a bunch of old discarded elementary school textbooks.

[00:10:02] Oh, pretty good.

[00:10:04] Are you enjoying your game?

[00:10:06] Yeah, but it's, it's missing, it's missing some pieces.

[00:10:11] And I was looking through some of the books and we were reading stories and I used to have a teddy bear when I was, when I was a little girl, her name was, uh, miss Wiggles, but I couldn't take miss Wiggles with me.

[00:10:26] You know, and the girl in the book had a, had a teddy bear and its name was, no, it wasn't a teddy bear.

[00:10:34] It was a rabbit.

[00:10:35] It was the Velveteen rabbit actually.

[00:10:39] But if you all read that story, that's bad.

[00:10:44] Have not, but, uh, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll spare everybody the literature degree.

[00:10:50] Uh, but yeah, I just, I w I wish I had some toys to play with like the girls in the book.

[00:10:58] Oh, it sounds like we need to find you a teddy bear then.

[00:11:01] As her eyes light up.

[00:11:03] Oh, oh, oh, could you?

[00:11:05] Oh, could you?

[00:11:06] I certainly could come with me.

[00:11:08] Okay.

[00:11:09] So sure.

[00:11:10] Like, is it going to be a builder bear?

[00:11:12] Do I get to build a bear?

[00:11:13] What is a builder bear?

[00:11:15] And he like, he thinks to himself about what I so dreaded parts of.

[00:11:20] Of a teddy bear together if I have to.

[00:11:22] And he's like, yes, it certainly could.

[00:11:24] Oh, this is going to be the crazy best.

[00:11:27] Thank you, dad.

[00:11:28] And there's that slight act.

[00:11:30] Like she's going to make a, like do the hug to you, but you know, you're not late.

[00:11:34] And are you?

[00:11:35] I am not.

[00:11:36] No, no, but so you've already set boundaries.

[00:11:39] So it was kind of the step.

[00:11:42] Wilt kind of thing, but she's still kind of upbeat.

[00:11:45] Like, Oh, this is going to be great.

[00:11:47] Thank you.

[00:11:48] It's an air hug.

[00:11:49] She hugs the air in front of you.

[00:11:52] Yeah.

[00:11:52] I didn't want to be.

[00:11:53] Now, if you were Chris, you'd be like road attachment.

[00:11:57] No.

[00:12:00] So do you take her to build the bear or find the teddy bear now?

[00:12:04] Or are you promising to bring her back one?

[00:12:08] I just assumed we would go and get one, but.

[00:12:11] Okay.

[00:12:12] So then just bring her back one also sounds kind of compelling.

[00:12:15] I was just going to say, if you're bringing her to get one now, I would say mark off a bounty now.

[00:12:21] Otherwise, you'll you'll you shop around a bit and you say you'll get her it after the next paycheck.

[00:12:31] I'll take her to get one now.

[00:12:33] Okay.

[00:12:35] So the market square.

[00:12:38] But yeah, take her.

[00:12:40] She she chooses a bear and she her her face lights up with joy as she has a new toy to play with.

[00:12:50] You can heal your humanity if you have any damage that you need to heal.

[00:12:55] I have some stress.

[00:12:57] So he so they find a bear one with one of the buttons missing off of the eyes and.

[00:13:05] It's the inside of a suit jacket on the inside where they sew in a spare button.

[00:13:10] And he pops that out.

[00:13:13] And it takes.

[00:13:15] It's something to.

[00:13:16] It's something to fasten it in temporarily to fix the.

[00:13:21] Damaged die.

[00:13:22] And hands it back to her.

[00:13:25] Oh, this is the best.

[00:13:27] This is the best.

[00:13:27] It's like he's winking at me with this one big eye.

[00:13:30] Thank you, Dad.

[00:13:31] And then she babbles for 30 minutes straight.

[00:13:35] That's how they work, Ethan.

[00:13:40] So who would like to go next for the next vignette?

[00:13:43] I think I'll do it.

[00:13:44] I'll go ahead.

[00:13:45] This is already kind of warmed up here.

[00:13:46] Thanks for the opportunity.

[00:13:48] So.

[00:13:50] We're going to have a baby, which that expression always really irritated my wife, because I honestly drove her to the appointments at the belt.

[00:13:59] We didn't do shit.

[00:14:02] She did.

[00:14:02] But, you know, so I would like to.

[00:14:06] We're kind of going through in our minds the things that we're going to need for the for the baby.

[00:14:11] I guess if we're going to still stay out at the old homestead, if we're going to move back in so you can kind of take that whichever way.

[00:14:21] Whoever wants to play my girlfriend or wife.

[00:14:24] Let's say girl.

[00:14:25] I don't know.

[00:14:25] What's your name?

[00:14:27] I don't know.

[00:14:28] I don't remember.

[00:14:29] So now it is canon that her name is Katrina.

[00:14:36] Okay.

[00:14:37] Cat with a K.

[00:14:39] Meow.

[00:14:39] Right.

[00:14:40] Do you want to do this or should I?

[00:14:42] You can take it.

[00:14:44] Okay.

[00:14:46] Sorry, Katrina, you said?

[00:14:47] Yeah.

[00:14:48] Okay.

[00:14:49] Look, I found this book, Katrina.

[00:14:51] It's and yeah, I'm bearing a burden.

[00:14:54] I guess I'm bearing a burden.

[00:14:55] I'm not.

[00:14:55] I don't have any humanity or anything to repair, but that just seems like mechanically.

[00:14:59] How do you die?

[00:15:00] No.

[00:15:05] So I got this book what to expect when you're expecting, but yeah, I haven't read it.

[00:15:10] So what do you think we need, hun?

[00:15:13] Huh?

[00:15:15] Um,

[00:15:16] If we go around the hovel.

[00:15:18] Yeah.

[00:15:19] Uh, well, I've been, I've been, I've been hankering for some, uh, for, uh, I've heard,

[00:15:26] I've heard that like, you know, when you, when you're pregnant, you get, um, you get,

[00:15:31] you get cravings.

[00:15:33] Uh, and, and I've been, I've been really, really hunkering for, um, I could go for a, a

[00:15:39] jar of, of pickled eggs.

[00:15:41] I've got a character.

[00:15:43] Goddamn you crazy.

[00:15:46] Goddamn nasty shit.

[00:15:49] I'm not going to have my, uh, uh, real baby.

[00:15:54] All right.

[00:15:56] Oh, pickled eggs, hun.

[00:15:58] Oh, okay.

[00:15:59] Maybe.

[00:16:00] I just, uh, I'm really like, I could go, I could, I could eat.

[00:16:04] I could just think about it.

[00:16:05] I could eat an entire jar of it.

[00:16:07] Or if I got to throw something.

[00:16:11] Oh, well, um, are you picky about what kind of eggs they are?

[00:16:15] Um, well, like, you know, like, like chicken eggs, like, you know, back before.

[00:16:22] Oh, how we used to get, how do you get them?

[00:16:24] Like I, I remember, I remember working at a bar one, uh, once and like there, they had

[00:16:29] them on the, the, the back.

[00:16:30] I just think about like those good old days and they used to be on the, on the back shelf.

[00:16:36] And like, we did, we have, we have people do these like dares with them.

[00:16:40] I just think back of those good times.

[00:16:41] And like, I really want those eggs.

[00:16:44] Honey, there's a reason around the back shelf, but yeah, they're preserved.

[00:16:49] It's fine.

[00:16:49] They're in, they're pickled.

[00:16:50] They're preserved.

[00:16:50] Sure.

[00:16:51] I was wondering if you wanted to, if you were going to, you know, you needed something

[00:16:56] like, I don't know, a breast pump, but sure.

[00:17:00] I'll, I'll, I'll get pickled eggs.

[00:17:01] You know, best as he kind of gags at the mirror thought of that nasty congealed shit floating

[00:17:07] around like a, a pig fetus in a jar waiting for a science class to look at.

[00:17:12] Fuck.

[00:17:12] Fuck.

[00:17:13] But so yeah, I'll, I'll, I'll add her is a, I guess that'd be a bounty for the future.

[00:17:20] Yeah.

[00:17:20] So you can buy some pickled eggs at the end.

[00:17:24] Sorry, Adam.

[00:17:25] That's the first thing that I latched to was just like the cravings.

[00:17:31] It's okay.

[00:17:33] You know, that works, man.

[00:17:34] I was expecting pickles, not pickled eggs, but.

[00:17:37] Ew.

[00:17:38] Seriously.

[00:17:38] That's how grosses me to fuck out.

[00:17:40] But all right.

[00:17:42] It might've been also one of the reasons I chose pickled eggs.

[00:17:45] Yeah.

[00:17:46] Pickled eggs.

[00:17:47] I would've went for the feed over the damn eggs, but I mean, that's just me, I guess at

[00:17:51] this point, but you know what?

[00:17:53] Cravings are a real thing.

[00:17:55] And what baby wants, baby's going to get Katrina's going to get her pickled eggs.

[00:18:00] I understand cravings too.

[00:18:02] I mean, I'm, I'm a guy at sales pot.

[00:18:03] I I'm damn near pregnant.

[00:18:05] Every time I get high.

[00:18:06] I get the munchies all the time.

[00:18:08] But my, my synapses are firing.

[00:18:12] But Adam's got a food baby again.

[00:18:16] Okay.

[00:18:17] So you, you promised to get her pickled pickled eggs.

[00:18:20] You tell her that she shouldn't expect it.

[00:18:23] Just this moment, but you will deliver.

[00:18:27] So she's happy with that.

[00:18:29] Who would like to go next?

[00:18:31] Uh, I can go next.

[00:18:32] Um, my dependent is Sparky.

[00:18:35] He's a, an older guy who used to be an electrical engineer, but, uh, is getting a little too old

[00:18:42] to do the work anymore.

[00:18:44] Who would like to play Sparky?

[00:18:46] Me.

[00:18:48] Great.

[00:18:49] I would also like to engage with the community because I don't have anything to heal right

[00:18:52] now.

[00:18:53] Uh, and I want to say that we are, uh, spending some time together at the fuel depot, which

[00:18:59] would be in the bottom left-hand corner of our map in the transportation department

[00:19:03] area.

[00:19:04] That is a fuel depot, but it's also the local bar because ethanol is used for fuel and also

[00:19:10] for drinking.

[00:19:12] Okay.

[00:19:13] Does that work?

[00:19:15] Works for me.

[00:19:17] Yeah.

[00:19:17] I tell you Sparky, uh, here, here, have a drink.

[00:19:20] Um, yeah, it's, it's, it's a bummer that we got moved out of the mine, but, uh, you

[00:19:25] know, I think, uh, I think we're going to be able to move into better digs, uh, if this

[00:19:29] comes through.

[00:19:31] Oh, I sure hope so.

[00:19:34] I know, I know the mine was a little bit dry and a little bit salty for you down there.

[00:19:37] Hopefully this is better for your lungs.

[00:19:40] Fine salt is how I like it, boy.

[00:19:43] Well, we'll still try to get something near the, the mouth of the mine for you then,

[00:19:47] I guess, uh, I guess you can't get away from salt around here, but it'll be, it'll be a

[00:19:51] little different than what we're used to.

[00:19:54] It's bad.

[00:19:55] I like the old way.

[00:19:57] Well, what's the, what's the old way, Sparky?

[00:20:00] Well, back in my day, a drink like this wouldn't have been watered down.

[00:20:06] That, that drink right there, you can pretty much light on fire.

[00:20:08] I don't know what you're talking about.

[00:20:09] It tastes pretty good to me.

[00:20:12] How days it takes two of them to get you just a drunk.

[00:20:15] Give me another one.

[00:20:16] Here, you can have mine.

[00:20:18] Go ahead.

[00:20:20] Uh, at, at this point, a person from the mine walks up to your table.

[00:20:28] Miss, uh, Sparky.

[00:20:31] Borman was looking for you.

[00:20:33] He was, uh, gonna ask if you could look at some, some equipment down, uh, down the mine.

[00:20:39] Absolutely.

[00:20:40] I will be right there.

[00:20:42] Of course.

[00:20:43] Thanks.

[00:20:44] Uh, he looks over to you there, road salt.

[00:20:47] Uh, uh, you, you can stay here road salt.

[00:20:49] Just, just a quick thing.

[00:20:50] Don't, don't worry.

[00:20:51] I'll be back in the jiffy.

[00:20:54] Be careful down there.

[00:20:56] Like, like hops off the stool walking like real slow.

[00:21:01] Cause he's so old.

[00:21:03] And also has two shots of ethanol in him.

[00:21:06] Yeah.

[00:21:08] He would stumble if he could walk fast enough to do so.

[00:21:12] I think that's good for the scene.

[00:21:14] Um, we now have a local watering hole, uh, and fuel depot.

[00:21:19] Okay.

[00:21:20] That's me next.

[00:21:22] Yes.

[00:21:23] All right.

[00:21:24] So.

[00:21:25] Unlike all y'all, um, I, I got a little stressed last time, apparently.

[00:21:29] So.

[00:21:31] Uh, I think, um, I think Balto is going to go and, and hang out with, uh, with his brother, Ralph.

[00:21:37] Try and, try and relieve.

[00:21:40] Oh, fuck.

[00:21:43] Fuel.

[00:21:45] Don't have money for that.

[00:21:48] They, they, they, uh, they hold a certain supply for the mining equipment since there's someone in the enclave who keeps purchasing it for their personal vehicle.

[00:21:58] No, it's talking about.

[00:22:01] It's a work vehicle.

[00:22:03] It should be subsidized.

[00:22:08] So who's Balto, uh, vignetting with?

[00:22:11] Brother Ralph.

[00:22:12] Yeah.

[00:22:12] His brother Ralph.

[00:22:13] Yeah.

[00:22:14] What's Ralph like?

[00:22:15] Uh, Ralph is latent.

[00:22:17] Um, and, uh, he is, uh, his, uh, he is, uh, Balto's last remaining, uh, living relative.

[00:22:25] Uh, and that he, uh, that Balto was able to find, uh, after the crash.

[00:22:31] So he's, he's kind of, um, I don't know, like, I guess say cousin, uncle.

[00:22:38] Oh, brother.

[00:22:39] Brother.

[00:22:40] Yeah.

[00:22:40] Like he was living with it.

[00:22:41] Like they were both living at home, uh, at the time, uh, in town, in the city when the crash went down.

[00:22:47] And, uh, when, when he went to go find him, uh, that, or when he went to go find his family to see if anybody had made it, uh, all he could find was Balto or was, uh, was Ralph.

[00:22:58] Yeah.

[00:22:59] So what are you going to be doing with Ralph then?

[00:23:02] So I assume he's going to, uh, or, uh, Balto will head over to the, uh, was it the prison or that, that, uh, penitentiary where the latents are?

[00:23:12] Yeah.

[00:23:13] Sort of probably passing, passing, uh, uh, St. Bernard and on his way to go get anywhere probably.

[00:23:22] Um, but, uh, yeah, he'll walk in and just, he just wants to go in and talk with his brother.

[00:23:27] Um, kind of just get a, uh, see, see how he's doing, like how he's holding up.

[00:23:33] Kind of maybe get some, uh, like, just, uh, like shoot the shit, see what's going, like, see what's going on.

[00:23:40] Are you coping or bearing a burden?

[00:23:42] I'm, I'm coping.

[00:23:44] So, oh, hey Balto, uh, thanks for coming over to visit me.

[00:23:47] I don't, uh, don't get out of this place much.

[00:23:49] Yeah.

[00:23:51] Uh, yeah, I had to, I wanted to, I wanted to come see you and, uh, work, work, uh,

[00:23:57] I, we got off work.

[00:23:58] So I, uh, I thought I'd come check up on you.

[00:24:01] Um, how, how's it, how's it going, uh, here?

[00:24:05] I can't complain.

[00:24:06] You know, we got a roof over our heads and it's, it's pretty safe.

[00:24:09] I mean, I don't like being locked in at night.

[00:24:11] You know, I got some, uh, some night terror sometimes after, uh, you know, escaping the

[00:24:16] city, but, uh, it's, it's, it's better than, uh, being out there.

[00:24:20] Yeah.

[00:24:21] Yeah.

[00:24:22] I mean, it is, it is for, for your own good or for, ah, that, that, that sounded wrong.

[00:24:28] Um, the, no, I, I get it.

[00:24:30] I get it.

[00:24:31] And I do appreciate you, you know, paying my rent and help me be able to stay here.

[00:24:35] Yeah.

[00:24:36] That will, that's, that's what brothers are for, right?

[00:24:38] Like we help each other out.

[00:24:40] Best we can.

[00:24:41] Uh, I don't feel like I've been helping you out too much lately, but, uh, you know, like

[00:24:45] you said, we do what we can.

[00:24:46] Yeah.

[00:24:48] Well, uh, yeah, we got a, we got some big things coming.

[00:24:52] Um, so I just, uh, got a, I got a, I got a new group that, uh, we're, we've got some,

[00:24:59] some work we're doing.

[00:25:00] So we'll be things.

[00:25:02] Well, things are, things are looking up a little bit.

[00:25:05] Well, that, that's good to hear.

[00:25:06] Uh, still, still, still driving that, uh, that old, uh, old ambulance around.

[00:25:12] Yeah.

[00:25:13] Yeah.

[00:25:14] It's, uh, the shambulance continues to ride.

[00:25:18] It's, uh, it's, it's helped us out more than once, uh, on the last job.

[00:25:21] So.

[00:25:22] Yeah.

[00:25:23] I'm sorry.

[00:25:23] You had to clean the back out after you helped me get out of the city, but, uh, no, no, no

[00:25:28] problem at all.

[00:25:28] I was, well, that, uh, one just had, it just cost a little bit of bounty to get the, uh,

[00:25:34] the, the disinfectant and the, uh, the tarps and stuff.

[00:25:37] It was fine.

[00:25:38] I was happy to do it.

[00:25:40] That's good to hear.

[00:25:41] That's good to hear.

[00:25:42] Uh, you know, any, anything else interesting going on?

[00:25:44] You don't get a whole lot of news here.

[00:25:46] Uh, well, um, uh, we're, we're help.

[00:25:50] Uh, we're, we're, we're, we got some, uh, we got some stuff that I don't know if I can

[00:25:54] really talk about it, but, uh, rest assured it is going to be like some stuff that like,

[00:25:59] well, we're going to get, we're going to, it's going to, it's going to elevate us a bit.

[00:26:04] Like we might, we might see some actual change in the world as a result of it.

[00:26:08] Well, you know, there's, there's not a lot I can do from here, but if there's anything I can do for you, bro, let me know.

[00:26:13] Yeah, absolutely.

[00:26:15] Just, uh, and, and the same goes from like both ways.

[00:26:19] Like if you ever need any help or anything, or if you need anything, uh, by all means, let me know.

[00:26:24] Yeah, I'll, I'll, I'll try not to bother you, but yeah, I appreciate it.

[00:26:28] All right.

[00:26:30] And awkward.

[00:26:33] Was it was that, was that cope or bear burden?

[00:26:36] That was cope to try to just like hang out with his brother.

[00:26:39] Okay.

[00:26:41] So as you hang with him and you tell him that, you know, you've got stuff lined up not to worry, but you can't tell him and he says all about your car and everything.

[00:26:53] You can't help but imagine a, uh, you guys are driving out on what's remains of roads.

[00:27:04] Doing whatever job your new handlers ask you to, and you really don't hear it.

[00:27:09] It's more of just, just an instant as a, uh, chunk of the road next to you explodes, sending your vehicle tipping.

[00:27:18] And you just can't help but think that the next missile from the drone strike won't miss you as you, uh, scramble out of the vehicle.

[00:27:29] And then you're back there just awkwardly staring at your brother.

[00:27:32] Uh, give me self control check.

[00:27:35] Yep.

[00:27:37] Uh, that is natural four over two.

[00:27:44] And so six over two.

[00:27:46] Okay.

[00:27:47] You're fine.

[00:27:47] Uh, you put out your mind, you know, it's not going to be that bad.

[00:27:50] No one knows you're, you're doing this anyway.

[00:27:54] Uh, it's all in your mind.

[00:27:56] You're fine.

[00:27:57] And you managed to keep hanging out with your brother before the next job.

[00:28:02] Yeah.

[00:28:02] It's just like, do you guys have TV in here or like anything like, like you guys got like a radio or something to listen to?

[00:28:09] Like, do you guys like, how is it in here?

[00:28:13] Like I just, I am trying to like break away from the, uh, further talk on stuff that he can't really talk about.

[00:28:19] Yeah.

[00:28:20] It's not too bad.

[00:28:21] You know, we, we only have the educational stuff from the prison and we don't get too much electricity, but it's, it's not bad.

[00:28:26] Yeah.

[00:28:27] I think that's where the scene should end.

[00:28:29] That's where the scene ends.

[00:28:31] Yeah.

[00:28:32] So do I recover that stress?

[00:28:34] Yes.

[00:28:34] You recover that.

[00:28:35] Whatever column.

[00:28:37] It was just, yeah, it was just.

[00:28:38] Yeah.

[00:28:40] Okay.

[00:28:41] So you guys know that there's jobs for you to do.

[00:28:46] You know that.

[00:28:49] Handler Caroline has a job for you.

[00:28:55] If you wish to pursue it.

[00:28:58] Since you are the people immediately in the area, you know, that will have no competition because it's a moth job and directly giving it to you.

[00:29:06] And then you also hear from Alexander that he knows of a job that another Enclave is offering that would, um, help the moths reputation or his reputation with the moths and could be used further down the line.

[00:29:27] Again, Gideon Grove is offering a escort job out of the lodge.

[00:29:34] So that's the information, you know, uh, so one handler is offering a job that you don't, will have no competition.

[00:29:42] The other handler says there's an escort job that you could do for the lodge.

[00:29:46] Personally, I'm all for taking the one with no competition at this point, since we're kind of working the moths angle.

[00:29:52] I'm definitely in favor of that one if it would further the cause.

[00:29:57] Yeah, but both of them are moth jobs.

[00:30:00] One is just directly helping.

[00:30:02] And the other one is you could call in favors and help garner support in the area that that's basically the difference between the two.

[00:30:11] Didn't mean to interrupt. I apologize.

[00:30:13] There's nothing else to add. I'm just waiting for everybody else's, uh, input.

[00:30:18] I mean, the escort mission, I mean, we're going to be, I mean, I hope or assume we're going to be using the shambulance.

[00:30:24] Um, but, uh, we, the escort mission, uh, be, would be easier with the, uh, with, with, uh, the use of the car.

[00:30:33] True. Good point.

[00:30:34] And plus, I mean, we're kind of building goodwill possibly that'll affect the effort all the same.

[00:30:40] All I'm thinking about is that we're doing this spy stuff with them and it's weird that they don't have code names.

[00:30:44] I did notice that.

[00:30:47] So I have a couple, I don't know if they're any good.

[00:30:50] Uh, Alexander, I mean, we can call him Lex and Carolyn Ward.

[00:30:55] We can call her the warden.

[00:30:57] I like that. Nick likes that.

[00:30:59] Sure. Yeah.

[00:31:01] You could call them that.

[00:31:02] That's in character.

[00:31:04] Just talking, talking with everybody.

[00:31:05] It's just weird.

[00:31:07] It'd be good to have something to call them.

[00:31:09] I mean, we all got taker names, right?

[00:31:12] And since I forgot Katrina's name was actually Mary Jane and Mary Jane's her taker name.

[00:31:18] Whenever I die, she takes.

[00:31:20] She used to take before she got pregnant.

[00:31:24] I used to be an adventurer.

[00:31:27] We're not even going to go any further down this road.

[00:31:30] Now, uh,

[00:31:30] Please. Yeah.

[00:31:33] We'll just go.

[00:31:34] We'll just do the one that we would, the escort sounds fun if, if Ethan and Brownie are up to court.

[00:31:40] Well, you can still find information out about, you know, the various jobs.

[00:31:44] You don't necessarily have to decide now.

[00:31:47] Yeah. True.

[00:31:47] You can find the price of the jobs, what the moth job entails, um, competition for the escort job.

[00:31:54] I feel like finding out the price on the one with no competition.

[00:32:00] Or, or finding out like, there isn't there like finding out what the twist is or like what the complication is.

[00:32:07] Cause like job with no competition.

[00:32:11] Unless he, unless it's just because it's like, you know, the moths are giving you it specifically.

[00:32:17] Seems like there might be a catch, right?

[00:32:20] Reason there's no competition.

[00:32:23] Yeah.

[00:32:24] Good possibility.

[00:32:26] I think the reason there's no competition is we smuggled them out away from their certain deaths, but that's just me.

[00:32:31] I, I wondered about that.

[00:32:36] Could be that where they're, they're only a real team on the ground here in this area.

[00:32:42] Yeah.

[00:32:43] Yeah.

[00:32:44] It seems worth looking into at least to see if like what the, what the prices are.

[00:32:49] Yeah.

[00:32:49] Okay.

[00:32:50] Is that, let's see, is it networking or not?

[00:32:53] Well, I mean, it's always networking, but research or what would that, to find out the price?

[00:33:00] Oh, I have no research.

[00:33:03] I do.

[00:33:04] I was actually, I've been trying to like, like, I've been sitting here for like the last like five minutes trying to figure out how to use drive to gain information.

[00:33:13] Good luck with that.

[00:33:15] I've heard some very creative uses of skills to get information, but I'm, I'm waiting to hear a good one with drive.

[00:33:22] It hasn't come yet.

[00:33:23] It hasn't showed up.

[00:33:24] It hasn't, it hasn't, uh, formulated yet.

[00:33:26] So that's on the back burner.

[00:33:29] Yeah.

[00:33:29] Yeah.

[00:33:29] In the gauntlet, I refuse to buy you specs or anything of any kind.

[00:33:32] So it was always interesting coming up with something for my character.

[00:33:35] Yeah.

[00:33:35] That's the other thing.

[00:33:36] I don't have any specs yet.

[00:33:37] So, um, could I use first aid maybe to like, like, maybe I, I take a shift over at the, the, in the, like the medical area or something like that, or like the, like the, um, whatever we have for like the, like a medical center or something like that.

[00:33:51] To try and like, and see if I can get any, garner any kind of information from, from people like coming in and out of there.

[00:33:58] Like a, a good bedside manner and chat them up that way.

[00:34:01] Kind of thing.

[00:34:02] Yeah.

[00:34:03] Like maybe I'm, or maybe I'm doing my rounds like to like certain people.

[00:34:06] Like, cause I was like, I'm a paramedic, uh, by trade.

[00:34:09] So I would, although I don't have it as a profession.

[00:34:13] Um, but yeah, like, uh, like either, yeah, bedside table kind of, or bedside manner kind of thing.

[00:34:18] Try and like, see if I can scope out some information that way.

[00:34:22] Sure.

[00:34:23] I, I'd allow that.

[00:34:25] All right.

[00:34:27] I'll just roll that then.

[00:34:31] Uh, that is going to be a six over four.

[00:34:36] Okay.

[00:34:36] So you managed to do your job well enough that you actually have time to talk to people and listen in.

[00:34:46] And man, this is a secret job for the month.

[00:34:49] How do I do this?

[00:34:49] Uh, you, you, you, you offer your services to, and convince here.

[00:34:55] How about this?

[00:34:56] You convince Hannah and Hannah.

[00:34:58] Why do I say Hannah?

[00:34:59] You, you convince, uh, Caroline to, um, have you patch up some, uh, moth operatives or friendlies in the area and they come to you to patch them up and you convince them with your medical skills and you, you, you, you, you chat them up and they tell you that, uh, Caroline was going to offer the job for 12th bounty.

[00:35:27] Okay.

[00:35:29] Yeah.

[00:35:30] If you imagine like, he's just, uh, yeah, like goes to like a certain spot in, and, and just, or they, yeah, they meet me at my, at my, at the, at the ambulance truck.

[00:35:39] They, they come near the enclave.

[00:35:41] You, you go out and help them.

[00:35:43] I feel like that's more appropriate for, for first aid with a moth job.

[00:35:46] Yeah.

[00:35:47] That you convince them that you had enough medical know-how to actually be helpful.

[00:35:52] Yeah.

[00:35:52] It's like, I mean, I am a paramedic, so you need help with something like, let me know.

[00:35:55] I want, I want to help the cause.

[00:35:58] So yeah, you know, you know that Caroline's job is going to be 12th bounty.

[00:36:03] Okay.

[00:36:05] Would anybody else like to find out anything?

[00:36:07] Yeah.

[00:36:08] Uh, I'm already down at the, uh, at the fuel depot, you know, already into my cups, so to speak a little bit, not too much, but you know, I'm here and I'm socializing with everybody else here.

[00:36:19] I just want to ask around with people I know locally, if they know, um, what, uh, what the, what Gideon's job is playing, uh, paying. And I think that would be probably just networking.

[00:36:31] Okay.

[00:36:31] People, people local that know me.

[00:36:32] Yeah.

[00:36:33] That works.

[00:36:34] That is a, uh, four over two.

[00:36:38] Okay.

[00:36:39] So Sparky comes back, joins you.

[00:36:41] You have some more drinks at the bar, talk around with people.

[00:36:46] And you said, what did you want?

[00:36:48] You sorry, the price of the other job on the, on the escort job.

[00:36:51] Yeah.

[00:36:52] Uh, you, you overhear that Gideon is asking 10 bounty for the escort job.

[00:36:58] Q.

[00:37:00] So now we know the price of things.

[00:37:02] Yeah.

[00:37:03] He has some goods to ship and he's offering 10 bounty to help that shipment go through.

[00:37:10] So you can still find the competition on the escort job and you could also find out what type of job the, the, the moth only job is.

[00:37:21] I think it may be better.

[00:37:24] We got two more of these left, I guess.

[00:37:26] So I'll take one.

[00:37:27] You take the other Ethan's.

[00:37:28] That sounds like a good deal.

[00:37:30] Sounds fair to me.

[00:37:31] All right.

[00:37:31] You got a particular, I mean, I've got, I was thinking about ruling criminality to do some shady stuff to figure out what the actual job was that, uh,

[00:37:39] Caroline was offering.

[00:37:42] Sure.

[00:37:44] I mean, I think criminality would also involve like hacking or sorts.

[00:37:52] And we retcon and say, well, for correct criminality check when we were transporting them, I put basically like a key logger of some sort on her Ubix specs.

[00:38:04] So it's just me, um, trying to access those criminally.

[00:38:09] So I'll burn a charge off my Ubix and, uh, the role criminality, which gives me a plus two.

[00:38:15] Sure.

[00:38:15] I'd love something like that.

[00:38:17] Maybe not.

[00:38:17] You put a key logger on there, but you're able to, to spy on the password she used to log in for, or something like that.

[00:38:25] Yeah.

[00:38:27] Yeah.

[00:38:27] It's, it's, it's bit, bits and pieces and I've kind of got to be near her.

[00:38:31] It's nothing that I intend to continually explore.

[00:38:33] This will just say, this is a one and done kind of thing for that particular avenue.

[00:38:37] All right.

[00:38:38] So I wish I got experience for failures.

[00:38:45] That's a five over nine.

[00:38:47] It's a failure.

[00:38:48] You don't succeed.

[00:38:50] Would you like to spend a will or tap reference?

[00:38:53] I already owe Mary Jane and my upkeep's 1.5%.

[00:38:59] Uh, shit.

[00:39:01] How much will did I get?

[00:39:02] You, you don't owe.

[00:39:03] Oh yeah.

[00:39:03] You do owe the one bounty.

[00:39:05] Sorry.

[00:39:05] That was Ethan that paid off the, the bill to bear up front.

[00:39:07] Well, I just went ahead and said that I paid it off.

[00:39:12] Okay.

[00:39:13] Otherwise she'd be, uh, instead of needy, it'd be kind of strained.

[00:39:18] You know what?

[00:39:20] It takes money to make money.

[00:39:22] I don't mind.

[00:39:23] So I'll, I'll tap a reference.

[00:39:24] We need to know this stuff to make the best decision anyway.

[00:39:28] So I'm going to end up calling.

[00:39:30] See, I'm shake.

[00:39:32] So I ended up calling my boy, uh, meat wad.

[00:39:35] He is a, uh, uh, he is a cook for the community.

[00:39:41] So like there's like a cafeteria kind of business that's been ran there.

[00:39:47] So, you know, plates and all that's actually uses some of the stuff from the cafeteria area from the, uh, penitentiary.

[00:39:54] So, you know, I catch him on his smoke break.

[00:39:57] Hey, meat wad.

[00:39:59] What's up, man?

[00:40:00] Hey, nothing much.

[00:40:03] What, uh, what are you here for?

[00:40:05] I'm on my break.

[00:40:06] Look, man, I've been looking, I'm trying to find a good angle on the job and I know it takes money to make money.

[00:40:11] And trust me, man, when I get to, when I get this done, you boys shake, he can pay you off and stuff like that.

[00:40:16] So I just need like a little investment.

[00:40:18] Have you heard anything in the cafeteria about what, uh, what would we say Carolyn's, uh, the warden?

[00:40:26] Does she have a presence in the community or would I just say, how would I kind of approach this?

[00:40:31] You could, you could make it vague.

[00:40:32] Like you heard rumors that maybe moths were in the area.

[00:40:38] You might have a line on a job that they're offering.

[00:40:41] Like you could make it vague.

[00:40:43] Like you heard they might want something done.

[00:40:46] And, uh, if you do what it was, you could make a quick buck.

[00:40:51] You don't necessarily have to say that you're already doing it for her.

[00:40:54] You could say like, oh, maybe this is like a one-time opportunity that we could take advantage of.

[00:40:59] I'm but look, man, I need to buy some pickled eggs or some shit like that.

[00:41:03] If you have any of that, I'll buy that from you later.

[00:41:05] Ugh, pickled eggs.

[00:41:07] Oh, thank God.

[00:41:08] Somebody else with some sense, man.

[00:41:10] I mean, look, you, you, you start David.

[00:41:12] The shelf there, Rod lost a screw somehow, tipped them all right off, smashed the door.

[00:41:16] The jars.

[00:41:16] Terrible, terrible thing.

[00:41:18] I do believe in God now.

[00:41:20] I do.

[00:41:20] Anyway, look, I'm, I need some, I need some, I need a job.

[00:41:24] I'm kind of one.

[00:41:25] I don't care if it's dubious.

[00:41:26] I don't care who it's from, but I've got, I've got some bills.

[00:41:28] I got to take care of you now not standing.

[00:41:31] Oh, God, man.

[00:41:32] You hear anything?

[00:41:35] About moths.

[00:41:36] Uh, there's some people talking about moths, uh, that, uh, they're trying to get something out of the archivists.

[00:41:45] But, you know, they don't want nothing but, but, but artifacts and figures and pictures and whatever, whatever those, those, those rat packing people want, whatever.

[00:42:02] You know, if, if they're looking to do business with them, they're gonna probably be looking for some leverage.

[00:42:09] You know, the old saying, blackmail, bribery, whatever.

[00:42:14] And they got to dig that stuff, uh, dig that stuff up.

[00:42:17] So if they were doing a job, they'd want you to recover something.

[00:42:21] Salvage job.

[00:42:23] Look, I appreciate it.

[00:42:24] That's, you know, your boys got your back.

[00:42:27] Okay.

[00:42:29] I didn't, didn't hear it from me and I didn't hear it from someone, you know, talking to the cafeteria.

[00:42:34] Oh no, no, Lord no.

[00:42:36] That'd be crazy.

[00:42:37] Anyway, peace out, man.

[00:42:40] Just, just remember who helped you.

[00:42:43] I'll keep an eye out for some pickled eggs.

[00:42:47] Gulp sound.

[00:42:48] Okay.

[00:42:49] Thanks.

[00:42:51] Ah, don't, don't mention it.

[00:42:52] Any, anything for, for Mary Jane.

[00:42:56] What's self-control?

[00:42:57] I make that self-control thinking when I go to bed next year at night, she's gonna be smelling like devil fucking eggs.

[00:43:02] If you want to do that self-control, you could do that.

[00:43:04] I made it personally.

[00:43:06] Yeah.

[00:43:07] Okay.

[00:43:08] Okay.

[00:43:09] Ah, so you know that, um, the moth job will most likely be a salvage job, which leaves St. Bernard.

[00:43:18] Would you like to find the competition for the, for Gideon's job?

[00:43:23] Yes, I would.

[00:43:24] Uh, I would like to use awareness to, uh, eavesdrop on a couple of rival acres and see if any of them are, uh, talking about the job and if any of them spill those beans.

[00:43:40] Yeah.

[00:43:40] Make awareness.

[00:43:41] That's perfect.

[00:43:44] Hoo, hoo, hoo.

[00:43:48] Maybe let's use a will.

[00:43:50] That's a red nine and a black one.

[00:43:53] So you don't want to tap a reference instead.

[00:43:56] Uh, yeah, I could do that.

[00:43:57] I forgot that was the thing.

[00:44:00] I'm, I'm going to be kind.

[00:44:01] I'm not going to make you lose a will when you could use a reference.

[00:44:04] Yeah, I appreciate that.

[00:44:06] I will, uh, will tap a reference who is a, uh, bartender at that bar, uh, that put salt in his.

[00:44:15] And it were at, what would be a contact that you would know?

[00:44:18] What would be the name of the bartender?

[00:44:21] Moe.

[00:44:22] It's not even his real name.

[00:44:24] It's just his, it was his former taker name.

[00:44:26] Yeah.

[00:44:28] Everyone just calls him Moe.

[00:44:31] How you doing Homer?

[00:44:33] A bartender there who, uh, who only makes, uh, uh, drinks that are like really out of date and it goes by old fashioned.

[00:44:43] Nice.

[00:44:45] Okay.

[00:44:46] Um, you head over to see old fashioned at the bar.

[00:44:49] He's, he believes he's cold old fashioned because he tries to look his best.

[00:44:53] He's got like a tie and a nice shirt on and everything where everyone else is just in whatever tatters of clothing they could have.

[00:45:03] I like this guy.

[00:45:05] Oh, he's St. Bernard.

[00:45:07] What could I, uh, hook you up with today?

[00:45:08] I've got, uh, some ethanol and some ethanol.

[00:45:15] Um, I've got some tops.

[00:45:18] I've got some leftover Marachino Marachino cherries.

[00:45:22] If you got the money to spend for them, could garnish that ethanol.

[00:45:26] Uh, perhaps later, but I'm here for information.

[00:45:32] Who being a bartender, are you over here with everything?

[00:45:37] And I would like to know anybody been in here talking about a certain job for the moths.

[00:45:44] Oh, you just, just missed him.

[00:45:47] He, uh, leans in close.

[00:45:49] Just missed the, uh, the chain gang.

[00:45:52] They were talking about that job.

[00:45:55] Sounded like they were very interested in it.

[00:45:57] Like they were gonna call them up soon and put their, uh, offer up.

[00:46:03] You know that the, the chain gang is the other taker group out of patch.

[00:46:07] They are, uh, former miners who just didn't want to be down in the mine anymore.

[00:46:14] Thought that taking would be easier.

[00:46:16] You know, St. Bernard, this, this information isn't cheap.

[00:46:21] I could use some more, you know, cherries, lemon juice.

[00:46:26] You know, a bounty's worth could increase sales enough to where it's profitable.

[00:46:32] Maybe some mint leaves for some mojitos.

[00:46:35] You asking me to find them or donate money to find them, to get them?

[00:46:39] Oh, you're not gonna find them out, out there.

[00:46:43] Um, we grow, you know, this is corn and soy country.

[00:46:48] But, you know, we could have them flown in if you want to donate a bounty.

[00:46:53] And I always kept my bartender.

[00:46:56] Thank you very much.

[00:46:57] I can always count on you, St. Bernard.

[00:46:59] You're an upstanding gentleman.

[00:47:01] And I can always count on you.

[00:47:04] He, he nods and goes off to help someone else who's come up to the bar.

[00:47:09] So, you know, the chain gang is going to go after the escort job by Gideon Grove.

[00:47:18] So what would you guys like to go for?

[00:47:20] Are we still wanting to do the escort job or you want to go where there's two more bounty?

[00:47:25] And then have to deal with retrieval.

[00:47:29] Two or four bounty, if we negotiate well, isn't that much of a difference.

[00:47:35] But I don't have any strong feelings.

[00:47:38] Well, I think, I feel like the escort mission might be a little bit more in the right direction.

[00:47:45] Like we want to build trust between the community and the malls.

[00:47:50] So I'll stick with my vote on the escort job.

[00:47:55] Toe, where are you at?

[00:47:56] I'm not ball Toe.

[00:47:57] St. Bernard, where are you at?

[00:47:58] The escort job does seem to me to be the best option.

[00:48:03] I'm good.

[00:48:04] We'll go.

[00:48:04] We'll, we'll say we'll do the escort job then.

[00:48:07] I'm not married to either idea.

[00:48:10] Okay.

[00:48:12] So you know that you need to call up getting growth of the lodge.

[00:48:18] Because.

[00:48:20] In case I, I don't think I said this at least on air, but it's in the document.

[00:48:25] Because you're sort of doing this on Alexander Lex's behalf.

[00:48:32] You will start it on as a favor on the track.

[00:48:35] If you didn't remember that, you could decide to go for the other job.

[00:48:40] You guys will start it as a favor on the track, but you still roll as normal to determine if you know how many rounds and stuff.

[00:48:47] So I guess burn a charge on Ubix for the negotiations or?

[00:48:53] Yes.

[00:48:54] Yes.

[00:48:54] So you'll, you'll, you'll call up Gideon.

[00:48:56] Burn a charge on the Ubix.

[00:48:58] And remember that with me around, I have a permanent positive rep spot that you can play for one plus one sway.

[00:49:04] What basically free on negotiations.

[00:49:08] So St. Bernard, you call up Gideon.

[00:49:13] Hello.

[00:49:14] Uh, who, who is this calling?

[00:49:17] That's your old friend, St. Bernard.

[00:49:20] Old friend.

[00:49:21] We'll have to see about that, but I like the sound of it.

[00:49:26] Are you inquiring about the job I have?

[00:49:29] The escort job?

[00:49:31] In fact, I am.

[00:49:34] Alexander said that you might be calling.

[00:49:36] I'm glad to hear that he hasn't failed me.

[00:49:39] All right, let's, uh, let's get into negotiations.

[00:49:42] I'm interested to, interested to hear what you have to say.

[00:49:46] So if you roll leadership, we will determine how many rounds.

[00:49:52] All right.

[00:49:54] Let's see here.

[00:49:59] 12 over five.

[00:50:02] 12 over five.

[00:50:04] Yeah.

[00:50:05] So that is natural nine or 10.

[00:50:08] So you have five rounds of negotiation.

[00:50:10] Perfect.

[00:50:12] That was a natural 10.

[00:50:14] So would you like to go first or second?

[00:50:19] Uh, why don't I go first?

[00:50:22] Remember, remember, remember to use our free spot that I mentioned here in the first round before we have anything else.

[00:50:30] Do you have a free spot?

[00:50:31] Is that the gift spot?

[00:50:33] No, I have a crash hero permanent positive rep spot and you can use it for free plus one sway in each negotiation and we don't have anything else to use yet.

[00:50:41] So you can use it now.

[00:50:43] In your opening salvo.

[00:50:45] I think I will use it now.

[00:50:47] Cool.

[00:50:48] How does that is?

[00:50:50] Is that like, because you're, you said that because you're a crash hero?

[00:50:54] Yeah.

[00:50:54] You talked me up that, you know, I saved the enclave and all this other stuff.

[00:50:58] And that's why you should go with us because someone, you know, that has that good reputation would be working for you, etc.

[00:51:04] Or however you want to phrase it.

[00:51:06] It's Gideon.

[00:51:08] Yes.

[00:51:09] Gideon, you're fortunate that we are the ones calling on this job in our crew and none other than very talented individuals.

[00:51:19] One wrote salt. I believe you know the name.

[00:51:22] Ah, yes, I've, I've heard of him.

[00:51:25] Alexander said that I'd be working with professionals.

[00:51:27] I didn't know it was, it was that type of professional.

[00:51:33] Everything you've heard. It's completely true.

[00:51:36] Okay.

[00:51:37] Roll persuasion.

[00:51:39] And I take a plus one to this because of his rep spot.

[00:51:44] You, you roll this like normal, you get plus one sway because of using the rep spot.

[00:51:49] Uh, and then if your persuasion's a seed, you get another sway.

[00:51:51] Yeah. So it's as if you're playing like a weak, soft or tough spot.

[00:51:55] Yep.

[00:51:56] Okay.

[00:51:57] That's a 10 over six.

[00:52:00] So you will push up two.

[00:52:03] As you're describing all of the, the exploits of road salt and hyping up your team and his team.

[00:52:13] His role in it.

[00:52:15] Gideon's nodding and he is studying you and he's going to read one of your spots.

[00:52:22] What is your soft spot?

[00:52:25] Uh, soft spot is manners maketh man.

[00:52:29] Um, so he doesn't move.

[00:52:31] You move two.

[00:52:33] So you are at value.

[00:52:35] And then we go to our first scan.

[00:52:38] Okay.

[00:52:40] Looks like it's a, so anybody got anything in mind?

[00:52:43] There are the three spots.

[00:52:44] There is the competition and there is increasing the base price of the job.

[00:52:49] I do have something in mind.

[00:52:52] So I'd like to, uh, get either his hard, hard or soft spot.

[00:52:56] And the way that I'd like to get that is profession maintenance.

[00:53:00] Uh, I'm just kind of in the background.

[00:53:02] No one pays attention to me and I can overhear things.

[00:53:04] Like I'm beneath their notice cause I'm just there working on stuff.

[00:53:08] Does that work?

[00:53:09] Sure.

[00:53:10] And you said you wanted the soft spot.

[00:53:12] Yeah, I'll take the soft spot.

[00:53:14] That is a nine over seven.

[00:53:17] Find out a soft spot is we are all in this together.

[00:53:21] Gideon hates to admit it, but he thinks that the only way that his enclave, all the other enclaves will survive is if everyone works together.

[00:53:30] Each enclave has its own specialty and they trade amongst themselves to survive.

[00:53:36] So as long as everyone works together and doesn't squabble and fight, we'll be able to make it out fine.

[00:53:44] So if you put on a friendly attitude, remind him that you guys need each other, that kind of thing.

[00:53:49] Uh, you can play to that spot.

[00:53:52] Uh, would you like to go first St. Bernard or?

[00:53:55] We'll go, uh, I'll go first again.

[00:53:58] Okay.

[00:54:00] See Gideon, we are the salty dogs as we go by.

[00:54:03] We're a tight knit unit.

[00:54:04] We're a team.

[00:54:06] Teamwork is important.

[00:54:07] After all, rising tide raises all boats, doesn't it not?

[00:54:12] It does, it does.

[00:54:14] But what does that have to do with, with me paying you for this job?

[00:54:20] Consider us the tide and we are coming in.

[00:54:24] Roll persuasion.

[00:54:30] Uh, even with the plus three, that would make it a tie.

[00:54:33] Okay.

[00:54:34] So perhaps, perhaps I would spend a will.

[00:54:38] With that to be a, uh, nine over three.

[00:54:42] So you push, uh, so you, you would be pushing two at the end of the round.

[00:54:49] He's just going to, to agree and read one of your spots again.

[00:54:52] He's gonna find out your, uh, what answer your weak spot for what your, what, what's your weak spot?

[00:54:58] Uh, weak spot.

[00:55:00] You are the walking dead.

[00:55:03] And what does that mean to you exactly again?

[00:55:06] Uh, basically that like the line between like living person and, uh, shambling undead is so like razor thin.

[00:55:18] There's all, there's, there's such a thin difference between the two.

[00:55:24] Like a chain length, uh, fence difference.

[00:55:28] You go, there you go.

[00:55:31] He's got it.

[00:55:33] So you push up to hazard pay.

[00:55:36] He stays at expenses and you guys can go for your second scam.

[00:55:43] Could I use, uh, hmm.

[00:55:47] First aid again to, uh, to, uh, try and get, uh, see if I can, uh, like find out.

[00:55:54] Do we want the weak spot or do you want to know like what the situation or like what, what the, the difficult part is?

[00:56:00] You know, I got, I got a suggestion.

[00:56:03] Sure.

[00:56:03] So, I mean, I can use stealth or criminality, probably stealth to try to follow the, the chain gang around and overhear what one of those are.

[00:56:15] We could also, um, you know, we could kind of coordinate so to speak with that.

[00:56:21] Uh, I mean, you also got your vehicle.

[00:56:23] You could even try, you could even try to like dissuade them from taking the job and remove competition by burning the charge of fuel to take them to another job.

[00:56:34] If, I mean, I don't want to burn, burn through our resources, but you know, that's, that's an option too.

[00:56:41] Sort of take a gamble on, on the, on our own resources to try and, uh, yeah.

[00:56:48] Hey guys, do you need, uh, do you guys have a job that you want, you need to take, uh, you need to go somewhere?

[00:56:53] Yeah.

[00:56:54] We can take them somewhere else.

[00:56:55] I mean, not name be deceptive, but look, you don't have to walk or anything.

[00:56:58] If there were any jobs you had closer by, I can, uh, you know, kind of thing like that, unless you want the stuff to actual play.

[00:57:05] Now, I mean, that would just be removing competition.

[00:57:07] We still need something to push and all that with.

[00:57:10] So, so your way to get rid of the competition is to load them up in your van, drive them out into the desert and just drop them off and drive away.

[00:57:18] Okay.

[00:57:19] Okay.

[00:57:19] Did I get that right?

[00:57:21] When you say it like that, I tell you what, how about in the meantime, if you're a little bit in doubt, if you want to think it over, I'll go ahead and do my thing with, with the chain game.

[00:57:31] Yeah.

[00:57:32] Yeah.

[00:57:33] When you say it like that, anything sounds bad.

[00:57:35] Like taking them to the farm upstate.

[00:57:40] I don't know if you've ever seen the movie, very bad things that like Christian Slater and all that, but yeah, it gets bad.

[00:57:48] I spent, I spent, I spent a charge of my thing to just run them down.

[00:57:56] Oh my God.

[00:57:58] So criminality to tell the group, the chain gang around to figure out what the, uh, I guess tough spot would be.

[00:58:05] I think we haven't got that.

[00:58:07] Do we?

[00:58:08] What are you doing to find the tough spot?

[00:58:09] You don't have the tough spot.

[00:58:10] You don't have the weak spot.

[00:58:12] You don't have the tough spot.

[00:58:14] Uh, I'm going to either, either, or I guess it don't matter mechanically, which I'm going through.

[00:58:19] I'm wanting to stealth.

[00:58:20] It's like sneak around and try to overhear them.

[00:58:23] It also have criminality at two.

[00:58:25] So, I mean, it's just a plus two on a roll either way to get it.

[00:58:28] Okay.

[00:58:29] So no, that's fine.

[00:58:30] I like the idea of you, you sneak up on your competition as they're doing their own scam actions to, to overhear the information they find while they're doing their scam action.

[00:58:40] I love it.

[00:58:41] All right.

[00:58:42] So let's go ahead and roll that beautiful bean footage.

[00:58:47] And awesome.

[00:58:47] That is 11 over eight.

[00:58:51] So.

[00:58:53] Sorry, you wanted which spot?

[00:58:55] Uh, it don't matter which one of you thinks sounds better that they would probably, you know, honestly tough spot because they'd be, man, we got this person by the short hairs.

[00:59:03] Can you believe that they have an asthmatic pug?

[00:59:07] Um, I don't know.

[00:59:08] I just made something up.

[00:59:10] Uh, tough spot is outbreaks.

[00:59:15] There have been a lot of outbreaks in the area around the lodge.

[00:59:20] A lot of people being infected with blight and, uh, nobody like people, people are supposedly taking precautions against it, but it's still happening.

[00:59:33] So there is a lot of infections happening.

[00:59:37] And that is troublesome to some people.

[00:59:40] Or that is worrisome, I mean.

[00:59:44] Okay.

[00:59:44] I will share that.

[00:59:47] And is it mine?

[00:59:48] My, uh, turn again, or is it his?

[00:59:51] It's do you want, you can go first again if you want.

[00:59:54] Uh, I will let him go first this time.

[00:59:58] Well, I will have to say that it has been a joy negotiating with you and talking with you.

[01:00:05] Uh, uh, Lex was definitely was correct in portraying your, um, civility, uh, civility.

[01:00:15] Um, uh, you've got a great brand going on here.

[01:00:21] Uh, very polite.

[01:00:22] Um, the salty dogs definitely know what they're doing by putting you in charge.

[01:00:28] And I will say it is doing a plus for this negotiation.

[01:00:31] So he's just playing into your manners.

[01:00:33] Make it the man trying to butter you up, calling you a gentleman saying you're polite and everything.

[01:00:39] It's working.

[01:00:42] So he's playing your spot.

[01:00:44] So now you can go.

[01:00:47] He's most appreciated.

[01:00:48] And I, I trust by the end of this, and once we, uh, paid a fair wage, uh, medically able to stock his, uh, his van with all sorts of prophylactics for the virus and so on and so forth.

[01:01:04] Why would we need, why would you need prophylactics and stuff like that?

[01:01:08] Aren't you equipped to handle what's going on up there?

[01:01:11] Oh, certainly.

[01:01:12] Wow.

[01:01:13] He is also equipped to handle anything going on, uh, over here.

[01:01:17] Are you trying to, to play to the outbreak spot, Ethan?

[01:01:21] I am.

[01:01:22] Okay.

[01:01:22] Uh, you should probably mention that as well.

[01:01:26] Specifically.

[01:01:27] Any, uh, outbreaks that should occur, we might be more prepared to deal with.

[01:01:32] Oh, you've, you've heard the news too about the, the outbreaks.

[01:01:37] Oh, I guess I have.

[01:01:40] I'm, I'm sure that's, that's nothing to worry about, but I, I'm, I'm glad that you're taking all the precautions that you might need.

[01:01:48] I do.

[01:01:49] It won't be anything to worry about once we get back and, uh, paid out wage.

[01:01:53] I can assure you.

[01:01:56] Roll persuasion.

[01:01:59] Uh, five over two.

[01:02:02] Uh, you guys would both push two, but since you can't occupy the same space, you guys move nowhere.

[01:02:08] Uh, you're still at hazard pay.

[01:02:09] He's still at expenses.

[01:02:12] And we go into another round of scams.

[01:02:22] Beep, beep.

[01:02:24] Well.

[01:02:29] Damn it.

[01:02:31] Um, yeah. Do we want to, do we want to eliminate, in quotes, eliminate the competition or do we want to get that, that last week's spot?

[01:02:38] I think at last week's spot.

[01:02:40] Competition.

[01:02:41] Oh, okay.

[01:02:41] Nevermind.

[01:02:42] Uh, getting mixed signals.

[01:02:45] Tiebreaker?

[01:02:46] Who's the tiebreaker?

[01:02:47] Ethan.

[01:02:49] Uh, what was the, it was a spot or what was the other one?

[01:02:53] Or, uh, yeah.

[01:02:56] Spot did we get?

[01:02:58] You had the tough spot and you had the soft spot. You do not have the weak spot.

[01:03:05] I kind of like the idea of eliminate the competition.

[01:03:09] Uh, that's really funny to me.

[01:03:12] I do like, I have a, I think I have an idea for it.

[01:03:16] It's just like, uh, like if they don't have a job or something like that, that, uh, that they're, they're, they need that they, uh, they've been offered, um, aside from this one or aside from potentially this one.

[01:03:26] Uh, maybe just like, if I, if I like just tell them that I know of like, of, uh, of, uh, cache of something that, that, that's, that might, they could, uh, they could use as a score and just offer to drive them out there.

[01:03:39] And then, uh, like just to like, make it go, like, make, like basically cut down some legs for them. And then like, as like a favor sort of thing.

[01:03:48] Okay. Uh, that I would require some research or some other skill like that to know where a score is that would be worth convincing them to do that.

[01:03:58] I do have a point in research.

[01:04:00] Otherwise, unless you want to lie to them straight up and use deception to be like, yeah, there's some great stuff out here.

[01:04:05] And then drop them off in the middle of nowhere.

[01:04:08] Or, yeah, drop them off on the other side of the blight infested city that we live near.

[01:04:13] Yeah.

[01:04:14] And it's like, all right, you guys are, all right. Yeah. It's just in that warehouse over there. Uh, so I'll, I'll see you guys, uh, back in, back in the enclave.

[01:04:22] So it's whatever approach you want to do.

[01:04:24] Oh God. Should I, should I go like the, should I go the actual, like the serious way guys, or should I go with the, uh, the fun way and just burn a bridge with the chain gang?

[01:04:36] I'm not up for burning bridges just yet.

[01:04:39] Okay. So I'll, I'll roll research then and see if I can find something for them to, to go spend, waste their time on.

[01:04:49] That is going to be six over one.

[01:04:53] Uh, what type of score were you looking for that they might be interested in?

[01:04:57] I'm thinking like, maybe just like, um, shipment of pickled eggs.

[01:05:06] Food shipment.

[01:05:08] Large, large stores of food.

[01:05:11] Yeah. Yeah.

[01:05:11] Like there's like a prison, like a, like a, like a storage of a store preservatives or preservatives that, uh, that, uh, I've, I've heard tale of.

[01:05:19] I take a Jack Lee, a truck full of Jack links, beef jerky crashed in the, in the whatever area before the crash.

[01:05:26] Yeah. I like that. Yeah.

[01:05:28] You, you find the large preservative shipment.

[01:05:32] They go, um, well, if the score's so good, why aren't you, uh, going out on it?

[01:05:38] Oh, you know, like we're, I'm part of a team and, uh, my, my guys didn't think, uh, it was, it was really worthwhile.

[01:05:44] A bunch of, a bunch of ASOs.

[01:05:46] No, trying to, trying to like play it up a little bit.

[01:05:50] Cause somebody on my team doesn't like pickled eggs.

[01:05:53] Yeah.

[01:05:53] Can you believe that?

[01:05:54] Like I love pickled eggs.

[01:05:56] We'll do it, but we're not cutting you in on the score.

[01:06:00] Really?

[01:06:02] Like I'm driving, I'll drive you out there.

[01:06:06] No, no, no, it's fine.

[01:06:07] What is just that we, we, we do the score ourselves.

[01:06:10] We don't go for that job and we don't cut you in on anything we make.

[01:06:14] All right.

[01:06:15] All right.

[01:06:17] Okay.

[01:06:17] They, they take the information from you and you've dealt with the competition.

[01:06:22] Okay.

[01:06:23] Now it's a persuasion check for you, I guess, Ethan, since we got, we got what?

[01:06:27] Two more rounds left.

[01:06:28] Uh, yeah.

[01:06:29] Two more rounds left.

[01:06:29] So Ethan, would you like to go first or second?

[01:06:34] Actually, I'll just have, I, he, he has something to say.

[01:06:37] So, um, it's, it's nice that you, you're so interested in, in fending for the, the outbreak,

[01:06:44] uh, for possible outbreaks and stuff like that.

[01:06:47] Especially since we walk a fine line between life and unlife.

[01:06:54] Everything's so fragile up there thinking things can go down in a moment.

[01:07:00] I don't know if I can, with such a dangerous job, I might need to hold some money back for,

[01:07:07] uh, a possible second shipment.

[01:07:09] If this doesn't make it, uh, I'm sure you understand having to take precautions.

[01:07:15] Against such unforeseen, but very possible.

[01:07:21] Har, uh, outcome like that.

[01:07:23] So he's going to play to your, uh, we are the walking dead spot.

[01:07:29] Uh, you can defend against it if you want with a deception.

[01:07:33] Like lied to him.

[01:07:34] I would.

[01:07:37] I would like to try and do that.

[01:07:40] I'm also detached in, in, uh, cracked in detachment.

[01:07:45] So, you know, that goes.

[01:07:47] He just kind of like, he tries not to get that like thousand, thousand yards there a little bit.

[01:07:54] And, uh, if I will, am I not healthy enough for the job?

[01:07:59] Do I not look, uh, him in my prime?

[01:08:03] You do.

[01:08:04] You do.

[01:08:06] Do I look like a corpse to you then?

[01:08:10] No.

[01:08:11] But, you know, it doesn't take much for that, unfortunately, to happen.

[01:08:15] Good man, I've been out on many a job.

[01:08:17] I was a fenceman.

[01:08:19] Yes.

[01:08:20] It's a lot more than just a simple accident or wayward bullet or friendly fire or any,

[01:08:27] any such silly thing to bring me down.

[01:08:29] I can assure you of that.

[01:08:32] Okay.

[01:08:33] Uh, roll, roll deception because you're trying to convince him that he's not playing to your spot.

[01:08:38] Oop!

[01:08:40] Don't sound good.

[01:08:41] A black one and a red six.

[01:08:43] So unless I burn my last will.

[01:08:46] You didn't use a will pre-

[01:08:47] Oh, you did use a will.

[01:08:48] Never mind.

[01:08:48] You did use a will.

[01:08:49] Okay, yeah.

[01:08:50] So it depends on if you want to use your last will or not.

[01:08:53] Your decision.

[01:08:54] I did hear the words outbreak earlier.

[01:08:57] Yeah, I am.

[01:09:00] Yeah, I mean, it's an important part of how we make money.

[01:09:06] So I'm going to go ahead and do it.

[01:09:09] Burn that last will.

[01:09:12] So what are you going to, so what are you going to use for your argument then?

[01:09:16] What's your, your persuasion or deception for your side of this round?

[01:09:22] Uh, so I'm going to probably just without saying it outright, bring up the fact that he no longer has any competition.

[01:09:32] Well then Gideon, I suppose, uh, I suppose if he must hold back so much, uh, do you know, perhaps you found someone who will do it for a lower rate?

[01:09:41] There's always people out there willing to take a job.

[01:09:46] Certainly, certainly.

[01:09:47] Certainly.

[01:09:47] Certainly.

[01:09:47] Once they come back from their job and, uh, you know, finish, finish sleeping off their hangovers, celebrations and all that.

[01:09:56] I don't know, you know, the chain gang are notorious for my friend, uh, you know, old fashioned down at the bar.

[01:10:02] He, uh, he serves them fairly stiff drinks.

[01:10:05] They tip awfully well.

[01:10:07] You know, supposedly this job they've just left on, very lucrative.

[01:10:11] Well, you're not playing a spot or anything.

[01:10:13] So this would just be like a normal one push and competition has been dealt with.

[01:10:16] So you could roll persuasion to just push one.

[01:10:20] Uh, it'd be 10 over two.

[01:10:23] You both would push one, but since you can't enter the same space, you stay at hazard paying expenses.

[01:10:29] And because there are no more scams left, we go straight to the fifth round of negotiations.

[01:10:36] Would you like to go first or second there, St. Bernard?

[01:10:39] I will go second.

[01:10:41] You should go first and you should use intimidation.

[01:10:43] Is there an advantage to going first that I'm not aware of?

[01:10:46] Well, if you go first, he can't push you down again.

[01:10:50] If you go first and end it, he can't push you down, right?

[01:10:53] Yeah.

[01:10:53] If you, if you do a successful intimidation.

[01:10:56] Oh, well, yes, I should do that then.

[01:10:59] Yeah.

[01:11:00] That was a thing.

[01:11:02] Rarely used.

[01:11:03] Very valuable.

[01:11:04] Yeah.

[01:11:05] Oh, I'm going to do that.

[01:11:06] And I'm probably going to go for his, uh, outbreak spot there.

[01:11:11] Uh, you, you already played to the outbreak spot.

[01:11:14] I can't do that twice.

[01:11:16] No, you can only use a spot once.

[01:11:18] Oh, I've probably, I've played to all of his spots then.

[01:11:20] Haven't I?

[01:11:22] You never found out his weak spot.

[01:11:25] You decided to mess with competition in the scamps or at least your fellow takers did.

[01:11:30] Okay.

[01:11:31] Well, yeah, let me try and intimidate him then.

[01:11:34] Dean, do you recall?

[01:11:35] I told you I was a fenceman.

[01:11:38] Yes.

[01:11:38] Yes.

[01:11:39] I recall.

[01:11:40] You know, if there's something I really need.

[01:11:43] It's easy enough to walk out into the wasteland and take it for myself.

[01:11:48] It's easy enough for me to snap a gun to the bridge of a man's nose as I don't know anything else in the world.

[01:11:56] It's easy to bring a fork to my mouth when I'm eating.

[01:11:59] Why don't we stop playing this little game and you pay me what you know is fair?

[01:12:05] Roll intimidation.

[01:12:09] Oh, that was a dramatic roll.

[01:12:12] Nine over five.

[01:12:14] Like, teetered off the three.

[01:12:17] So you end negotiations right there.

[01:12:21] He comes down to meet you.

[01:12:23] Hazard paying 100% markup is what you're at.

[01:12:26] Do that final leadership check to see if you go with what?

[01:12:29] A whammies.

[01:12:31] Ugh.

[01:12:32] No.

[01:12:34] Ten red.

[01:12:35] Nine black.

[01:12:36] Oof.

[01:12:37] Did you have any pluses on your leadership?

[01:12:41] Yes.

[01:12:42] That's why it's a nine.

[01:12:45] Oof.

[01:12:46] It looks like you guys will be going with hazard pay then.

[01:12:51] Shit.

[01:12:52] Yes.

[01:12:53] So it is one bounty per taker per leg.

[01:12:58] There are three legs for you guys to go through.

[01:13:01] So that's 12 bounty via the legs.

[01:13:05] Then you guys will have the full price of the job, which is 10 bounty.

[01:13:11] And then you guys will have your break points covered.

[01:13:17] What are your break points again?

[01:13:20] Three.

[01:13:21] Four.

[01:13:22] I believe Adam is three.

[01:13:25] So that would be 10.

[01:13:27] And then yours is five.

[01:13:29] So it's 15.

[01:13:30] So I have 37 bounty you are currently making.

[01:13:37] I agree with that.

[01:13:39] Could be worse.

[01:13:41] Oh, sorry.

[01:13:41] 75 bounty?

[01:13:42] You said?

[01:13:43] 37.

[01:13:44] Oh, 37.

[01:13:45] Not 75.

[01:13:46] Nowhere close.

[01:13:48] Sorry.

[01:13:48] I don't know why I heard that.

[01:13:50] Pretty cool if it was.

[01:13:55] Jesus.

[01:13:57] The best McConaughey I've heard all day.

[01:14:00] Wichtful thinking on my part, apparently.

[01:14:03] The lodge has done pretty well with food, growing some crops and doing some hunting.

[01:14:08] And they're looking to ship it back to the home enclave that they originally came out of in Oklahoma.

[01:14:17] If I remember my map correct.

[01:14:21] So they're hoping for you guys to help protect the shipment, especially since there's been so many outbreaks and infections in the area.

[01:14:31] It's a three-leg trip.

[01:14:33] And after, as you start preparing for your escort, you get a call from Lex.

[01:14:42] St. Bernard, you get a call on your UBIC specs from Lex.

[01:14:47] Oh, hey, St. Bernard.

[01:14:50] Oh, go on.

[01:14:52] Yeah, this is Lex.

[01:14:54] Just wanted to say good job getting that job out from under the chain gang.

[01:14:58] This is going to work well.

[01:14:59] I talked things over with Gideon.

[01:15:04] And he is willing to owe me, and thus us, a favor down the line if you deal with a little Randian problem him and his crew has had some trouble dealing with.

[01:15:17] Just an extra leg on the job, and you just got to convince them to leave the power station for the wind farm outside of the lodge.

[01:15:28] If you do that, like I said, the lowest favor.

[01:15:32] Of course, that's up to you.

[01:15:34] Hope you consider it.

[01:15:36] I will take that into account.

[01:15:38] Thank you, Lex.

[01:15:40] Good luck out there.

[01:15:42] Counting on you.

[01:15:43] And he hangs up.

[01:15:45] I make my own laugh.

[01:15:47] You son of a bitch, you hung up on me.

[01:15:51] He's busy.

[01:15:52] So it's three legs escorting five wagons of food.

[01:16:00] Three legs.

[01:16:01] And if you want, you can go on a fourth leg, and you can convince some Randians to leave the power station for the local wind farm.

[01:16:10] And the lodge will owe you and the moths a favor.

[01:16:16] Question.

[01:16:17] Can we do the Randian leg after the main mission?

[01:16:24] I'll allow that.

[01:16:27] I got all this leftover ammo.

[01:16:30] That's the benefit for this regional handler.

[01:16:35] You can do stuff to help out, but it's optional compared to the other one.

[01:16:41] Because it's optional, you guys start at the out of favor on a track.

[01:16:44] It's sort of like the cost benefit.

[01:16:46] You don't have to do it.

[01:16:48] But there is a little downside to it.

[01:16:52] So any questions before you guys head out?

[01:16:55] Or anything you guys would like to do?

[01:16:58] Research for a weather report?

[01:17:00] Do you mean actual weather or casualty weather?

[01:17:03] There's only one kind of weather that I care about.

[01:17:08] It starts with a Z.

[01:17:09] I mean, a Z.

[01:17:12] Okay.

[01:17:13] You can do a research check.

[01:17:16] Okay.

[01:17:19] That is a 6 over 4.

[01:17:21] And I'll mark a charge off my Ubix.

[01:17:24] You guys won't be going near any large towns or cities or near any main roads per se.

[01:17:31] So the weather should be fairly light.

[01:17:33] There aren't any large hordes crossing your paths either.

[01:17:38] So it seems like you don't have to worry about coming across tens of hundreds of zombies.

[01:17:46] With regards to the vehicle stuff.

[01:17:48] Should I just go ahead and burn three charges right now since it's three legs?

[01:17:56] Just burn them one at a time in case we find more?

[01:18:01] I mean, it shouldn't be necessary, but it's probably good just getting used to burning them as you use them.

[01:18:07] So you don't burn three and then you need to do something in the middle of a leg and you don't have any charges left.

[01:18:12] Oh, that's true.

[01:18:13] And you have to retroactively, you know, count and remember.

[01:18:16] Yeah.

[01:18:17] All right.

[01:18:17] Are we still burning rations the same way?

[01:18:21] For legs?

[01:18:22] If you are driving in the vehicle, you don't need to burn rations because you're just sitting in the vehicle.

[01:18:30] I am not walking either in this game.

[01:18:36] We're going to take care of you.

[01:18:38] So yeah, we'll do it as is and then he's going to give us legs stuff anyway so we can make decisions.

[01:18:44] So yeah, it makes sense.

[01:18:46] Is there any other preparation you guys would like to do before you head out or are you guys good to head up, head out and meet with Gideon?

[01:18:57] I think I'm good.

[01:18:59] I am good.

[01:19:00] Good.

[01:19:02] Also good.

[01:19:04] As the fencemen declare that you're all clear and the fences open up for the shambulance to drive out, all of you give me a self-control check.

[01:19:13] Your first job for the moths.

[01:19:17] First job defying the DHQ-S.

[01:19:21] This is the beginning.

[01:19:23] Succeed.

[01:19:25] Nine over six.

[01:19:28] I had that two.

[01:19:29] Oh, MG!

[01:19:31] Oh my god.

[01:19:31] Four under seven.

[01:19:32] Failure.

[01:19:33] Oh.

[01:19:35] If you fail, just take one distress.

[01:19:39] Are you helping another enclave?

[01:19:41] What are you doing?

[01:19:42] What are you doing for life?

[01:19:44] Did you leave the stove on?

[01:19:47] Oh god, did I leave Sparky in charge of the stove on?

[01:19:52] Did I manage to turn Sparky on his side before I left?

[01:19:56] Oh god.

[01:19:57] Flashback.

[01:19:58] Do these guys like my jokes?

[01:20:01] Flashback to Sparky and the house is like literally on fire and he's like, I can't smell anything.

[01:20:08] This is fine.

[01:20:11] Did you make yours, Ethan?

[01:20:14] Yes, I did.

[01:20:15] Yeah.

[01:20:15] Sweet.

[01:20:15] Four over one.

[01:20:17] So you guys meet up with Gideon.

[01:20:19] There are five horse-drawn wagons.

[01:20:23] Each wagon has a driver.

[01:20:26] You guys...

[01:20:28] They all have weapons, so you don't have to worry about poor defenseless humans.

[01:20:33] But you guys are mainly seen as security.

[01:20:36] You're expected to handle the threat first before they have to.

[01:20:40] So we're using the car as basically a forerunner for the convoy.

[01:20:46] If that's how you want to do that, that's fine.

[01:20:48] That would probably explain us going...

[01:20:50] No, we want to go into the 7-Eleven.

[01:20:53] No, you don't understand.

[01:20:54] Yeah, we need to go in there.

[01:20:57] My wife...

[01:20:57] I'll chop her out.

[01:21:00] Pregnant.

[01:21:02] Gassy.

[01:21:03] And then she's going to have gassy egg for...

[01:21:04] I'm going to stop.

[01:21:05] But it's just bad, guys.

[01:21:08] The last question before we start this next leg is...

[01:21:11] Who is shotgun?

[01:21:12] Because the shotgun person is going to be the person to spot things for each leg.

[01:21:18] I have an awareness of two.

[01:21:20] I also have an awareness of two.

[01:21:22] I would let Brownie do it.

[01:21:24] I would let Brownie do it.

[01:21:27] I don't know.

[01:21:28] It actually seems appropriate for Bernie to take it.

[01:21:31] If he also has a two.

[01:21:35] Why not?

[01:21:35] Can I sit in that nice front seat?

[01:21:39] So, Bernie charge on the shambulance.

[01:21:42] And...

[01:21:43] St. Bernard, please make an awareness check.

[01:21:49] That is...

[01:21:51] 3 under 9.

[01:21:53] So, you don't notice it...

[01:21:56] Until you basically come up on it.

[01:21:59] But there is a...

[01:22:02] White paneled fan...

[01:22:04] At a very steep downward angle.

[01:22:09] In a pond.

[01:22:11] The front half...

[01:22:13] Or the front third...

[01:22:14] Is submerged in the water.

[01:22:16] And it is...

[01:22:16] The back end sticking...

[01:22:17] Not completely straight up.

[01:22:19] But very close to straight up out of the water.

[01:22:23] But it has sunk low enough into the pond.

[01:22:26] Where you could easily climb in through the back.

[01:22:29] If that is what you wish.

[01:22:31] Well, that is something you do not see every day.

[01:22:34] Just like...

[01:22:35] How did it get...

[01:22:36] Did it just like...

[01:22:36] Did it flip and go right...

[01:22:38] Like nosedive into it?

[01:22:39] Or...

[01:22:40] I almost didn't see it at all today.

[01:22:42] So, there is that.

[01:22:45] It is just...

[01:22:45] I mean, I can understand why.

[01:22:47] It is just like...

[01:22:47] All this foliage that is all on the side...

[01:22:49] On the guard...

[01:22:50] By the guardrail.

[01:22:51] Hmm.

[01:22:53] Okay.

[01:22:54] What do we want to do about this, Cass?

[01:22:56] You think there is something...

[01:22:57] Worth...

[01:22:58] Worth finding it?

[01:23:01] Sure.

[01:23:02] No.

[01:23:03] We're...

[01:23:04] We're...

[01:23:05] We're running at a deficit on this mission.

[01:23:06] Got to make up some somewhere.

[01:23:08] Yeah.

[01:23:09] We're a little ways...

[01:23:10] We're a little ways ahead of the convoy.

[01:23:12] So, we could probably...

[01:23:14] Afford to...

[01:23:15] To check it out.

[01:23:16] Before they get closer.

[01:23:18] So...

[01:23:18] Hey...

[01:23:19] I don't mind helping out here.

[01:23:22] Road salt.

[01:23:24] You up for this?

[01:23:26] Yeah.

[01:23:27] I'm good at scavenging.

[01:23:28] I'm happy to...

[01:23:28] To take a look.

[01:23:30] Let's...

[01:23:31] Let's head on over.

[01:23:34] Awareness as we approach.

[01:23:36] Sure.

[01:23:36] Just survey the scene.

[01:23:39] I will give you the same information...

[01:23:41] As if St. Bernard made it.

[01:23:42] But I will give you some information...

[01:23:44] As you approach.

[01:23:46] That's a failure on my part.

[01:23:48] Okay.

[01:23:48] Yeah.

[01:23:48] It just...

[01:23:49] It seems...

[01:23:51] That it's a fairly new vehicle.

[01:23:53] It has been sitting in...

[01:23:55] The pond for...

[01:23:56] The five years since the crash.

[01:23:59] But it's...

[01:24:01] Decently submerged in the water.

[01:24:04] Like I said...

[01:24:05] The front third.

[01:24:06] And the pond is low enough from...

[01:24:07] The side where you could...

[01:24:09] Climb in through the back.

[01:24:11] If that's what you wish.

[01:24:13] Yeah.

[01:24:14] Let's pop that back door open if we can.

[01:24:15] Is it unlocked?

[01:24:18] I got criminality at two to...

[01:24:20] Break the lock.

[01:24:21] If you check...

[01:24:22] If you check the lock...

[01:24:23] It is...

[01:24:24] It is locked.

[01:24:25] I guess you could...

[01:24:26] I didn't say this per se...

[01:24:28] But I guess you could...

[01:24:29] Go into the water...

[01:24:30] And try and go in through the front...

[01:24:32] If you want to swim underwater.

[01:24:34] I won't say that's not a possibility.

[01:24:37] Oh.

[01:24:38] Oof.

[01:24:39] I float better than I swim down.

[01:24:42] Do you want to try to...

[01:24:43] Pop the back open?

[01:24:44] I do have this big crowbar.

[01:24:48] Sure.

[01:24:50] I'll...

[01:24:50] I'll take point.

[01:24:51] I'll cover you.

[01:24:52] So I've got my...

[01:24:53] Handgun drone.

[01:24:55] I would also like to have my handgun drone.

[01:24:58] But no.

[01:24:59] I was just saying...

[01:25:00] Me and St. Bernard are just...

[01:25:01] Back on the road...

[01:25:02] Just watching this whole thing...

[01:25:03] From a distance.

[01:25:04] Yeah.

[01:25:07] Mechanics to...

[01:25:08] To know where to pry...

[01:25:08] To pop the back open?

[01:25:10] Sure.

[01:25:11] This is also a fine fine...

[01:25:13] Veblen good.

[01:25:15] Weaponized tool big crowbar...

[01:25:16] Plus two to tool...

[01:25:17] Skill checks.

[01:25:19] Which gives me a total of plus five.

[01:25:21] Which gives me a ten over four.

[01:25:24] Okay.

[01:25:24] Yeah.

[01:25:24] You pop it open...

[01:25:26] And you look in.

[01:25:28] You see the water level...

[01:25:30] Is just...

[01:25:32] Past the seats...

[01:25:33] And the white panel van...

[01:25:34] Didn't have like any seating in the back.

[01:25:36] It seems to just be the driver...

[01:25:37] And passenger seat.

[01:25:38] The water level is just above...

[01:25:40] Where the driver...

[01:25:42] And passenger seat are.

[01:25:43] As you look in...

[01:25:44] You can see some very...

[01:25:48] Waterlogged looking...

[01:25:49] Bags.

[01:25:51] But what catches your eye...

[01:25:52] Is floating on the surface of the water...

[01:25:55] Is five bounty.

[01:25:57] Well I'd love to snag that.

[01:25:58] Can I fish it out with my crowbar?

[01:26:01] No.

[01:26:02] You would need to...

[01:26:04] Climb in a little bit...

[01:26:06] If you wish.

[01:26:07] Or have someone like...

[01:26:08] Hold on to your feet...

[01:26:09] As you lean in.

[01:26:12] Oh do I have resistance?

[01:26:13] Let's see.

[01:26:15] I got a one resistance...

[01:26:17] If you want to trust my little...

[01:26:19] Scrawny ass.

[01:26:20] Well that could be athletics too.

[01:26:22] You know...

[01:26:22] Keep your balance.

[01:26:23] Climb in.

[01:26:24] I'm not as...

[01:26:25] As...

[01:26:26] You know...

[01:26:26] Flexible as I used to be.

[01:26:27] Are you able to climb in there?

[01:26:29] Yeah...

[01:26:30] I...

[01:26:30] Yeah I got this.

[01:26:32] I got this.

[01:26:32] So...

[01:26:33] I do have...

[01:26:35] Uh...

[01:26:36] No I have athletics of one.

[01:26:37] But yeah I guess I can climb in there.

[01:26:40] So I'm actually gonna go ahead...

[01:26:42] And holster the pistol...

[01:26:43] And take out my tomahawk.

[01:26:45] That seems like it would be better...

[01:26:46] In close encounter...

[01:26:48] For this.

[01:26:49] So...

[01:26:49] Um...

[01:26:50] Yeah so as I reach for the...

[01:26:52] For the sailboat...

[01:26:54] That Pennywise is offering me.

[01:26:59] Man you guys just think negatively...

[01:27:01] All the time.

[01:27:02] I'm just giving you guys five bounty.

[01:27:04] Come on.

[01:27:05] Hey little boy.

[01:27:10] Alright do I have to make a check...

[01:27:12] To actually kind of crawl up there?

[01:27:13] Yeah if you're trying to hang on...

[01:27:16] And lower yourself in...

[01:27:18] That would be athletics check.

[01:27:19] If someone else is lowering you down...

[01:27:20] That's a resistance check on their end.

[01:27:23] Okay that's ten over six for athletics.

[01:27:26] So you grab on to...

[01:27:30] The...

[01:27:30] Like the back side of the...

[01:27:32] The white panel van.

[01:27:34] You hold on to a part.

[01:27:35] And you start reaching down.

[01:27:37] And...

[01:27:37] You grab one bounty.

[01:27:40] And uh...

[01:27:41] You stuff...

[01:27:43] I assume you're keeping hold of your tomahawk.

[01:27:45] And trying to use your fingers wrapping around the tomahawk.

[01:27:48] To grab the bounty out of the water.

[01:27:50] Taking the tomahawk.

[01:27:51] And trying to kind of like...

[01:27:53] Ferry the bounty...

[01:27:54] To where I can get a hold of it.

[01:27:56] So yeah I'm using it in the process.

[01:28:00] So you're...

[01:28:01] You're splashing the water.

[01:28:02] And banging it against the...

[01:28:04] The side of the car a little bit.

[01:28:06] Uh...

[01:28:06] Give me an awareness check.

[01:28:08] Around your familiar faces.

[01:28:12] Don't crit fail.

[01:28:13] I didn't...

[01:28:14] I failed.

[01:28:14] I didn't crit fail.

[01:28:15] Do you want to use a will?

[01:28:18] Fuck yeah.

[01:28:19] Might as well.

[01:28:20] Okay.

[01:28:21] Uh...

[01:28:22] You see movement under the surface.

[01:28:24] Uh...

[01:28:25] Just before it...

[01:28:26] Erupts.

[01:28:28] Uh...

[01:28:28] You can make an athletic check...

[01:28:30] To dodge.

[01:28:32] You can spend additional rations if you wish to add to your rule.

[01:28:38] Shit.

[01:28:39] Let's see.

[01:28:39] That's athletics to dodge.

[01:28:42] Can I counteract that?

[01:28:44] Saying I had a tomahawk in my hand.

[01:28:46] And use uh...

[01:28:47] Melee to swat it?

[01:28:49] Can I make that...

[01:28:50] That plea?

[01:28:51] Sure.

[01:28:52] But if you fail the...

[01:28:54] Yeah, yeah.

[01:28:55] I'll allow it.

[01:28:55] I'll allow it.

[01:28:56] If you fail the...

[01:28:57] I take back what I said.

[01:28:58] The consequences are gonna be the same.

[01:29:00] Alright.

[01:29:01] Fuck dude.

[01:29:02] I failed.

[01:29:02] That'd be...

[01:29:04] That'd be five over ten.

[01:29:06] Do you...

[01:29:06] Do you want to use another will?

[01:29:08] I don't have two will.

[01:29:09] I only have one.

[01:29:11] So you...

[01:29:12] You see...

[01:29:13] A shape going under the water.

[01:29:14] And that's when a...

[01:29:16] Uh...

[01:29:17] A...

[01:29:19] Waterlogged looking...

[01:29:20] Uh...

[01:29:21] Blight sinew filled arm...

[01:29:23] Reaches out of the water and swipes.

[01:29:25] And you go to swipe with your tomahawk to parry it.

[01:29:28] And...

[01:29:29] You just misjudge it.

[01:29:30] And the hand just grabs...

[01:29:33] Your...

[01:29:33] Um...

[01:29:34] It just rakes your wrist as it tries to reach for you.

[01:29:38] Whatever arm you would have used...

[01:29:40] I'll let you choose which arm.

[01:29:43] But that arm...

[01:29:45] Takes...

[01:29:46] Four killing damage...

[01:29:48] As...

[01:29:49] It...

[01:29:50] Just...

[01:29:51] Runs against the side of your forearm.

[01:29:54] Trying to grab onto you.

[01:30:00] I'm obviously gonna...

[01:30:00] Give yourself a control check.

[01:30:02] Yeah, I'm obviously gonna skedaddle back.

[01:30:05] That's a failure.

[01:30:06] I'm rolling like shit.

[01:30:07] All of a sudden.

[01:30:09] Uh-oh.

[01:30:09] Uh...

[01:30:10] Okay, give me a second to look up what...

[01:30:12] What level of trauma this is.

[01:30:14] Uh...

[01:30:14] That is two to trauma.

[01:30:16] Uh...

[01:30:17] You might be infected.

[01:30:19] Okay, so...

[01:30:20] Well...

[01:30:21] I do have the first aid kit.

[01:30:23] If we can get you out of there.

[01:30:26] Uh...

[01:30:26] Do I need to make a...

[01:30:28] Check to get out of there now?

[01:30:30] Or like what?

[01:30:31] Yes, you would need to make another athletic check to climb out of the vehicle.

[01:30:34] I will say...

[01:30:36] Uh...

[01:30:36] That you recovered...

[01:30:38] Uh...

[01:30:39] Three of the five bounty.

[01:30:40] Before that happened.

[01:30:43] God, let's do a athletic check.

[01:30:46] St. Bernard doesn't look like he's...

[01:30:47] They're doing too well over there.

[01:30:48] Why have you forsaken me, God?

[01:30:52] I don't think Shaker learned how to swim.

[01:30:55] Isn't that hard?

[01:30:55] Why do you go in first?

[01:30:57] Three out of four?

[01:30:59] Are you screaming?

[01:31:01] Yeah!

[01:31:02] I don't know anybody else that's like...

[01:31:04] Oh...

[01:31:06] I better go get...

[01:31:06] You go to climb up...

[01:31:08] And you put your both...

[01:31:10] Hands...

[01:31:11] On the edge of the car.

[01:31:13] And you go to pull yourself up.

[01:31:14] And you use your feet to help climb up.

[01:31:16] And your feet slip...

[01:31:17] On the slippery...

[01:31:18] Uh...

[01:31:19] Flooring or siding of the vehicle.

[01:31:21] And they just fall from under you...

[01:31:22] And just slam face, stomach, legs...

[01:31:25] Into the side of the vehicle.

[01:31:26] You could hear that.

[01:31:28] Road salt.

[01:31:30] I'm still right there.

[01:31:32] Yeah.

[01:31:33] Would I have had to get off the back bumper...

[01:31:36] Of the car when he climbed in?

[01:31:38] Or...

[01:31:39] Or am I still kind of right there?

[01:31:41] Oh no.

[01:31:42] You...

[01:31:42] If you didn't back off...

[01:31:44] You could still see this.

[01:31:45] I was just saying...

[01:31:45] Like you definitely heard that...

[01:31:47] The other people you hear...

[01:31:49] Sounds coming from inside the car.

[01:31:51] Very faint.

[01:31:54] Is it possible to try to grab for...

[01:31:55] For Shake's arm as he's slipping?

[01:31:58] Yes.

[01:31:59] That would be a...

[01:32:00] At like check to grab on.

[01:32:01] Grab him quickly.

[01:32:02] Critical.

[01:32:02] Critical failure shoved me in.

[01:32:04] If you critically failed...

[01:32:06] You're going to fall in.

[01:32:07] I'm going to spend some extra charges...

[01:32:09] Uh...

[01:32:10] On rations.

[01:32:11] Is that alright?

[01:32:12] Yep.

[01:32:13] You can spend extra rations...

[01:32:14] On any test that would require rations.

[01:32:16] Alright.

[01:32:17] So let's say...

[01:32:18] Two extra rations on this guy.

[01:32:20] Which I didn't need.

[01:32:21] That's a 10 over 4.

[01:32:23] 10 over 4.

[01:32:24] I will say that you managed to hold on...

[01:32:26] And pull him...

[01:32:27] Out of the vehicle.

[01:32:29] You managed to grab him...

[01:32:31] And pull him out of the vehicle.

[01:32:33] Well...

[01:32:34] I guess that's why they tell us not to get into white vans.

[01:32:37] I just look at you.

[01:32:39] Is he alright?

[01:32:40] You guys alright?

[01:32:41] I don't know.

[01:32:42] Let's...

[01:32:43] Let's get...

[01:32:43] Get back over here.

[01:32:45] What was that?

[01:32:47] Fucking casualty, man.

[01:32:48] It scratched my hand.

[01:32:49] My arm.

[01:32:49] My left arm.

[01:32:50] That's my favorite left arm I got.

[01:32:53] That's the only one I got.

[01:32:54] Can you take a look at this wound, Balto?

[01:32:57] Yeah.

[01:32:57] Balto's coming over with the first aid kit.

[01:33:00] All three of you, except for Shake, give me self-control check.

[01:33:03] Yeah.

[01:33:05] Shake just got scratched by a casualty.

[01:33:08] Oh no.

[01:33:11] Very success.

[01:33:13] That's 3-3.

[01:33:15] Nat 3-3.

[01:33:16] Nat 3-3.

[01:33:17] Yeah.

[01:33:18] So I mean, that would be a...

[01:33:19] It would be like a 5-3, but...

[01:33:23] That isn't at 3.

[01:33:25] On both, so...

[01:33:27] I failed that.

[01:33:29] So like...

[01:33:31] If you fail, take 2.

[01:33:33] If you crit failed, take 3 to detachment.

[01:33:36] If you passed, don't lose anything.

[01:33:40] Yeah, regular fail was how many?

[01:33:42] 2.

[01:33:44] Okay.

[01:33:45] I'm already cracked in that.

[01:33:47] All right.

[01:33:48] So...

[01:33:49] In trauma...

[01:33:51] My hands are shaking as I go to try and administer the blood test.

[01:33:56] My hands are really steady.

[01:33:58] Gun, like, almost raises on its own.

[01:34:03] Yeah, we're off to a great start, guys.

[01:34:07] I'm never going to be able to hold my kid.

[01:34:09] I'm never going to be able to hold my kid.

[01:34:10] Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!

[01:34:12] All right, let me work.

[01:34:13] Let me figure this out.

[01:34:14] All right?

[01:34:14] There's something to bite down on, so he shuts up.

[01:34:17] He just likes his joint.

[01:34:19] All right, so yeah.

[01:34:21] What is it?

[01:34:21] Spin charges to make first aid checks.

[01:34:24] What the hell did you like to split with one hand?

[01:34:28] That was incredible.

[01:34:30] You can use a first aid check to administer a blood test.

[01:34:35] You may not spend will on the...

[01:34:38] Right.

[01:34:39] All right.

[01:34:40] I got three in first aid, so let's see the dice fuck me over, guys.

[01:34:44] Are they really fucking you?

[01:34:48] Emotionally.

[01:34:51] Oh, wow.

[01:34:54] So last...

[01:34:55] I critically failed that stress check.

[01:34:59] I critically succeeded the blood test, though.

[01:35:03] Oh, there you go.

[01:35:05] Four, four.

[01:35:05] So...

[01:35:06] Race under pressure.

[01:35:08] I like it.

[01:35:09] That makes me immune.

[01:35:10] I like it.

[01:35:12] I like it.

[01:35:13] So I will say that you successfully administered the first aid check.

[01:35:17] Yeah.

[01:35:18] You can...

[01:35:21] Roll black and red there, Crazon.

[01:35:25] Okay.

[01:35:26] Roll black and red again?

[01:35:27] Yes.

[01:35:30] Don't say what you got, message me.

[01:35:33] Okay.

[01:35:34] That was for successfully administering the test for a state check.

[01:35:38] Gotcha.

[01:35:40] Okay.

[01:35:40] Whoops.

[01:35:41] Sorry.

[01:35:41] Hang on.

[01:35:41] I almost put that into the group voice chat we had earlier.

[01:35:46] There.

[01:35:46] Thank you.

[01:35:47] Thank you.

[01:35:47] I couldn't find you on the list.

[01:35:50] So you know that without a doubt.

[01:35:52] You can 100% say that is the result.

[01:35:57] Okay.

[01:35:58] Yeah.

[01:35:59] I just let out...

[01:36:00] So...

[01:36:01] I just...

[01:36:01] I let out a sigh of relief.

[01:36:07] Oh.

[01:36:08] All right.

[01:36:08] Do you have any wounds?

[01:36:10] Do we have...

[01:36:11] I just...

[01:36:13] I mean, my arm.

[01:36:15] Okay.

[01:36:16] My pride.

[01:36:18] I think I bit my lip.

[01:36:20] Yeah.

[01:36:20] I guess I will attempt to address his wounds.

[01:36:22] If he has any...

[01:36:23] Did he actually take any?

[01:36:25] Yeah.

[01:36:25] He took damage to his arm.

[01:36:27] His arm is bloodied.

[01:36:30] Balto...

[01:36:30] Balto, right?

[01:36:31] Balto administered a infection check right there.

[01:36:34] Now he's...

[01:36:34] He's calm.

[01:36:36] He hasn't said anything.

[01:36:40] Well...

[01:36:40] I'm just kind of trying to treat your wound.

[01:36:45] I'm kind of just waiting expectantly.

[01:36:48] Oh, right.

[01:36:48] Yeah.

[01:36:49] You're clear.

[01:36:52] Yeah.

[01:36:52] You're good.

[01:36:54] Sorry.

[01:36:54] Sorry.

[01:36:55] It was a...

[01:36:56] Deception check.

[01:37:00] What do you...

[01:37:00] Oh, and there...

[01:37:02] Are you trying to lie to them?

[01:37:04] No, I'm...

[01:37:06] I mean, it's not just infection.

[01:37:08] That, you know, if I...

[01:37:09] If I'm not infected, it's great.

[01:37:10] But it'll also tell if I am immune.

[01:37:15] So...

[01:37:15] That would be a sensitivity, wouldn't it?

[01:37:16] That would be a sensitivity check.

[01:37:17] Yeah, that would be sensitivity.

[01:37:18] Yeah, go for it.

[01:37:19] Okay.

[01:37:20] That's 10 over 5.

[01:37:22] Yep.

[01:37:23] Doesn't seem deceitful.

[01:37:24] Yep.

[01:37:26] Okay.

[01:37:26] Yeah, deception.

[01:37:27] Like, I'm not sick.

[01:37:29] No, man.

[01:37:30] Oh, God.

[01:37:33] Like, you know, and just to give it, like, a little bit of flavor text for you all.

[01:37:36] Like, this is...

[01:37:39] This is, like, you know, from somebody who's had, like, scary health problems over the past

[01:37:43] couple years and stuff like that.

[01:37:45] Just, like, sitting there in a waiting room, waiting to go back to a doctor and have them

[01:37:51] tell you if, you know, you're gonna have to go through all this and stuff like that.

[01:37:55] It just...

[01:37:56] You know, it just...

[01:37:57] It's the most nerve-wracking thing, and you just feel like...

[01:38:00] Just a wave of relief whenever you get good news just, like, washes over him.

[01:38:07] Oh, my God.

[01:38:09] Oh, my God.

[01:38:10] Yeah.

[01:38:11] Thank you.

[01:38:11] I finished up bandaging you up, and he's like, you're gonna put a hand on your shoulders,

[01:38:16] like, you're gonna be okay.

[01:38:17] He's like, you're gonna be okay.

[01:38:22] I'm gonna just go sit in the shamblance, and I'm not going back for those other two bounty.

[01:38:29] I mean, one of you all can.

[01:38:33] Rosalt, thank you.

[01:38:37] We'll give my child your...

[01:38:40] You can pick a middle name, all right?

[01:38:42] Or you could be a godfather or something.

[01:38:43] We'll work that out, but...

[01:38:47] Thank you.

[01:38:49] I'll think about it.

[01:38:50] Thanks.

[01:38:51] I'm glad you're okay.

[01:38:53] St. Bernard, do you want to relinquish the driver's seat or the shotgun for him?

[01:39:01] Or do you think that's wise or, like, for comfort and stuff like that?

[01:39:05] Or no?

[01:39:05] Oh, I'm not worth watching for shit if you're talking about me.

[01:39:10] Okay.

[01:39:10] Yeah.

[01:39:11] I was just thinking, like, trying to, like, be, like, amicable about, like, trying to give

[01:39:15] you, like, the best spot or something.

[01:39:17] I'm reliving existential crises in my head right now.

[01:39:21] So, no, it's okay.

[01:39:22] He's going through a bit of trauma at the moment, so...

[01:39:25] Maybe.

[01:39:25] How would he risk him back?

[01:39:29] Sorry, Ethan.

[01:39:31] What was that, Ethan?

[01:39:32] Perhaps I'll keep my seat.

[01:39:34] You're going through a whole bit of trauma here, though.

[01:39:38] Yeah, yeah.

[01:39:39] Maybe...

[01:39:39] Okay, yeah.

[01:39:39] Maybe go to the back.

[01:39:43] Roll out one of those rolls that we got back there.

[01:39:47] Okay.

[01:39:47] I can keep you company and keep you distracted if you want.

[01:39:52] I would love to hear knock-knock jokes if you've got them.

[01:39:55] Oh, I got jokes.

[01:39:58] Did you hear about the casualty comedian?

[01:40:02] Almost too soon, but okay.

[01:40:05] All of his jokes were groaners.

[01:40:10] Let me up front.

[01:40:12] You hear a moaning coming from the van.

[01:40:15] Oh, yeah.

[01:40:16] Too soon.

[01:40:17] Sorry about that.

[01:40:18] You know what?

[01:40:19] No.

[01:40:20] No.

[01:40:21] I'm going to walk over there and shoot that thing in the head and then turn around and

[01:40:24] walk back.

[01:40:25] I can't help me.

[01:40:26] Wait, you want to shoot the casualty in the van?

[01:40:29] Yeah.

[01:40:30] I want to shoot.

[01:40:31] I'm pissed now.

[01:40:32] I've sat down in the van and I'm like, that son bitch almost killed me.

[01:40:36] And I'm going to walk over there and shoot it in the head if its head's above water.

[01:40:40] You could spend a charge.

[01:40:42] I won't make you shoot a casualty stuck in a chair.

[01:40:46] It's like a fish in a barrel.

[01:40:49] All right.

[01:40:50] So.

[01:40:51] Boom.

[01:40:52] And I look at the bounty floating in the blight-filled water and just turn around and walk back.

[01:40:59] I don't feel better.

[01:41:01] All right.

[01:41:02] I'm done.

[01:41:03] We just kind of quietly go back to the van or to the ambulance.

[01:41:10] Anything else you guys would like to do or move on to the next leg?

[01:41:13] Let's move on to the next leg.

[01:41:15] Yeah.

[01:41:15] I like the picture.

[01:41:16] It's all going from that to just like driving in silence, like dead silence.

[01:41:20] I also like that.

[01:41:24] Spend another charge.

[01:41:26] On the shambles.

[01:41:28] It is done.

[01:41:29] As you're driving.

[01:41:30] I hate to bring this up, but do you want me to roll mechanics checks since I parked or since I stopped?

[01:41:35] Would you have turned the vehicle off though?

[01:41:37] Or would you have had it just?

[01:41:39] No.

[01:41:40] Okay.

[01:41:41] Yeah.

[01:41:41] I figured you wouldn't have turned the vehicle off.

[01:41:43] You would have had it just sit there with the engine running probably.

[01:41:46] Okay.

[01:41:47] Yeah.

[01:41:47] It was kind of like I put it in park quickly and then ran down to the.

[01:41:50] To help with the first aid and stuff.

[01:41:52] So.

[01:41:53] Yeah.

[01:41:53] Unless you spend time like.

[01:41:55] Unless you all get out of the vehicle and spend time like in a building or something like that.

[01:41:59] If you just have like one or two people go investigate on a leg quickly.

[01:42:03] I'm just going to assume that you're, you know, keeping the car running, especially since it sounded like you guys were saying in it.

[01:42:10] Yeah.

[01:42:11] Yeah.

[01:42:12] Most of the time, if, if, if, if I don't have to get out of the car, I will stay at the ready for like the, for the runaway.

[01:42:20] Hey, real quick.

[01:42:22] How much did you heal my arm for?

[01:42:23] Did you heal my arm?

[01:42:24] I mean, I'm fine if it has killing.

[01:42:27] I kind of superfluous.

[01:42:28] Do I have to roll for that?

[01:42:29] You have to do another first aid check to.

[01:42:32] I'll, I'll, I'll limp through right now.

[01:42:34] I don't want to burn through all of our first aid right now.

[01:42:36] I'm fine.

[01:42:37] It's, I bandaged it myself.

[01:42:38] It's, it didn't help, but it stopped.

[01:42:41] Whatever.

[01:42:41] St. Bernard, give me another awareness check as you're driving up to this next leg.

[01:42:49] Weird.

[01:42:51] That's probably nothing.

[01:42:54] Uh, what's my awareness?

[01:42:58] Ah, ties go to the market, don't they?

[01:43:02] Shit.

[01:43:04] You come upon some train tracks.

[01:43:09] And as you're, you, you come up upon them, you notice along, running down along the side of the tracks, there appears to be some freshly wrecked vehicles.

[01:43:21] Uh, some are outpouring smoke.

[01:43:24] You see people, some people climbing out of some of the vehicles.

[01:43:30] You notice some people in some of the vehicles, uh, are not moving, so they're probably dead.

[01:43:37] Um, you notice that there are some bodies on the ground along the tracks.

[01:43:45] And at that point, that's when St. Bernard and everyone else notice, oh, there's been a alert coming out on the Ubix specs that you didn't notice until now.

[01:43:57] What's the alert?

[01:44:00] This is the Enclave Elevation.

[01:44:03] We are having a train pass through the area.

[01:44:06] Please be aware of the usage of the tracks.

[01:44:09] Do not, uh, do not approach our train unless you wish to be fired upon.

[01:44:16] Does that get real?

[01:44:17] Pulling up the map on the Ubix specs, does our path cross there?

[01:44:20] You, you know that, um, elevations, uh, good distance down the tracks, but this is a main line that would run, uh, east to west pre-crash.

[01:44:32] We also got five horse-drawn wagons behind us, so, yeah, I, I mean, we can't risk anything like that.

[01:44:41] Uh, and, and trains are loud.

[01:44:44] That could bring, uh, you know, new weather into the area.

[01:44:46] Yeah.

[01:44:47] There, those, there are some people there that look like they're injured and stuff like that?

[01:44:51] Yeah, if you want to give me an awareness check.

[01:44:54] Okay.

[01:44:58] Uh, that is, uh, oh, shit.

[01:45:02] Uh, that is.

[01:45:03] How you do this?

[01:45:04] Six, uh, no, not six under nine.

[01:45:06] Uh, it's probably gonna, it's probably a failure anyway.

[01:45:08] Um, yeah, it's seven under, seven under nine.

[01:45:12] Yeah, you, you notice that there are some people coming out of the wrecked vehicles.

[01:45:16] They're dressed in, uh, leather with studs and spikes.

[01:45:21] Uh, you notice some of them are coughing and some of the bodies on the ground are grasping their throat.

[01:45:27] Some of the dead people.

[01:45:29] Can I get a will to, uh, help those in need?

[01:45:33] Spikes and leather doesn't sound friendly.

[01:45:36] They're Mormons.

[01:45:38] If, if you want to rush over immediately and help them out, that's fine.

[01:45:41] Yeah.

[01:45:42] I.

[01:45:43] You get bitten by, you get bitten by a wounded dog.

[01:45:45] Fair, but it, I can't, yeah, my, I gotta help those, like they, if they're injured.

[01:45:52] And I didn't notice entirely like the full scale of it.

[01:45:56] So.

[01:45:58] Yeah.

[01:45:59] Uh, the car goes into park or the ambulance goes into park and I rush, start rushing over there to, with the first aid.

[01:46:06] Hey, but can it stop me or try to do something about it?

[01:46:10] Yeah.

[01:46:11] I would love to stop you.

[01:46:13] How many people are actually moving around?

[01:46:16] Is there a bunch?

[01:46:17] Are we getting ready to run into a mob of people?

[01:46:19] There are, there appear to be in your immediate vicinity, three crashed vehicles.

[01:46:23] One appears to not have any movement about it.

[01:46:28] Um, there is another one where someone apparently is stuck inside.

[01:46:33] And there is a third one where two people are trying to help a third person get out of the wrecked vehicle.

[01:46:42] Uh.

[01:46:43] Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck.

[01:46:43] You all know how to stop him?

[01:46:45] I shoot him in the leg.

[01:46:46] No, boy.

[01:46:48] Oh, crap.

[01:46:52] What, it's his left foot?

[01:46:53] He can drive with his right foot.

[01:46:56] I don't know.

[01:46:58] Bernie, see if you can talk sensitive.

[01:46:59] These guys don't look, uh, look, uh, friendly.

[01:47:03] Oh.

[01:47:04] Bernie?

[01:47:04] I got an idea.

[01:47:05] I got an idea.

[01:47:07] At this point, Balto is, uh, has, has at least stopped the vehicle.

[01:47:11] Yeah.

[01:47:12] And is starting to unbuckle.

[01:47:13] Yeah.

[01:47:14] Like, we gotta do something.

[01:47:16] Like, we can't just leave them.

[01:47:17] Um, like.

[01:47:18] Balto, I believe we were told they would open fire.

[01:47:22] So, they're gonna open fire on the, on the, on these, on these people that have been, like, gotten to, like, some kind of an accident or something.

[01:47:28] Gotta do something to help them.

[01:47:30] In the out, if you're standing next to them and they open fire, they are open firing on you.

[01:47:37] They got the same warning we did.

[01:47:38] If they, if they're over there by the tracks, they were over there trying to do something.

[01:47:42] Should I roll, like, a sense, should I roll a stress check on that?

[01:47:46] Yeah, if you're, if you're not gonna help them.

[01:47:48] Yeah.

[01:47:50] Research.

[01:47:51] I got a Ubixpex research.

[01:47:53] Okay.

[01:47:53] I, can I, can I interject here?

[01:47:56] I have a suggestion.

[01:47:58] If I use Ubix, I don't have research.

[01:48:00] Fuck.

[01:48:00] Never mind.

[01:48:01] I'm stupid.

[01:48:01] Go ahead.

[01:48:03] You could roll a default.

[01:48:05] Nah.

[01:48:06] I mean, I, I think I'll just use that charge for Deadeye.

[01:48:09] I know exactly what we're doing here.

[01:48:14] Hey.

[01:48:15] I have to ask, do any of them look like they've been tear gassed?

[01:48:18] I mean, there's a couple of people who are coughing.

[01:48:21] And like I said, a couple of bodies are clutching their throats.

[01:48:24] Wait, wait.

[01:48:25] Oh my God.

[01:48:26] Is this?

[01:48:27] Hmm.

[01:48:28] Uh huh.

[01:48:29] Holy shit.

[01:48:31] Uh, fuck.

[01:48:34] Well.

[01:48:35] Oh God.

[01:48:36] Okay.

[01:48:36] Well, um, I rolled nine, nine.

[01:48:40] Naturally or unnaturally?

[01:48:42] Naturally.

[01:48:43] Okay.

[01:48:44] Okay.

[01:48:44] Uh, and self-control to not help the people out.

[01:48:47] Yep.

[01:48:48] I will say just lose two to stress.

[01:48:52] Just, okay.

[01:48:53] To stress?

[01:48:54] Yeah.

[01:48:55] Okay.

[01:48:55] So I'll say you're not, you're not, it's more of, you're not, it's more of, you're not fulfilling your,

[01:48:59] your spot.

[01:49:00] What you want to do.

[01:49:02] Yeah.

[01:49:02] For the good of the job.

[01:49:04] Instead of like, you know, they're, they're suffering.

[01:49:07] Yeah.

[01:49:08] God.

[01:49:09] Fuck.

[01:49:09] Damn it.

[01:49:10] It just like starts cussing a bit under his breath the whole time.

[01:49:16] For those of you at home, this is in reference of, of our actual play through of elevation.

[01:49:21] Episode four.

[01:49:24] You guys convinced Balto to, to not get out of the vehicle and to rush up to the people.

[01:49:28] But one of the two people who is helping get people out of the vehicles spots you, picks up the rifle and starts walking to you while yelling.

[01:49:39] Get out of the vehicle.

[01:49:40] Now, get out now.

[01:49:43] Wow.

[01:49:45] Mechanic check Balto to start the vehicle.

[01:49:48] Oh, fuck.

[01:49:50] Ugh.

[01:49:56] That's, that's a five under six.

[01:49:59] Oh, shoot the guy.

[01:50:01] Uh, roll the shoot.

[01:50:03] All right.

[01:50:03] That's a burnt my dead eye.

[01:50:05] So it would give me a plus three.

[01:50:07] I'm glad I did that.

[01:50:09] That's seven over six.

[01:50:11] So.

[01:50:13] Let's see.

[01:50:14] It would be four.

[01:50:15] That would be four to six.

[01:50:19] So the guy's yelling, Balto, you're trying to start the vehicle.

[01:50:23] The engine's turning over.

[01:50:24] And then from the, uh, in between the seats from the back.

[01:50:29] I lean out the window.

[01:50:31] Oh, okay.

[01:50:34] Well, you're, you're in the back.

[01:50:36] This is the ambulance.

[01:50:37] This is an ambulance.

[01:50:38] There's no side window for the back seats.

[01:50:40] Can I say I hopped out then?

[01:50:41] I didn't, I wasn't thinking about geographic locations.

[01:50:45] Okay, sure.

[01:50:46] We'll say, we'll say you, you, you leaned up, you got out the back, uh, back and leaned

[01:50:50] around the side and opened up on the person.

[01:50:53] And that has attracted the attention of the second person.

[01:50:59] Everyone roll initiative.

[01:51:02] All right.

[01:51:02] Let's push your speed.

[01:51:05] Two.

[01:51:08] That's it.

[01:51:09] Seven.

[01:51:10] 12.

[01:51:12] Ooh.

[01:51:14] Okay.

[01:51:14] So there was a seven.

[01:51:16] I heard there was a 12.

[01:51:17] Yeah.

[01:51:18] So it's, it's, it's, it's craze on and then me and Ethan and then Brownie.

[01:51:24] Can I try and get the car going again?

[01:51:26] I will say that you have to get out of the vehicle.

[01:51:30] Okay.

[01:51:31] And get under the hood to try and get it going.

[01:51:33] Cause the first mechanic check was for in the vehicle.

[01:51:36] All right.

[01:51:36] If that's the case, if I know that, then I'll, I'm probably just gonna pull up my gun.

[01:51:40] You, you flooded it.

[01:51:41] You have to take off the carburetor.

[01:51:44] Okay.

[01:51:44] So Balto, what would you like to do?

[01:51:46] I'm just like, oh, son of a, and then like pull up my gun and, uh, the guy's coming

[01:51:51] towards us.

[01:51:53] The person, there's one person out of the vehicle who now notices you and is drawn their gun.

[01:51:59] There's one person with the rifle who was walking towards you that shakes shot.

[01:52:02] And that's the only people in your area not stuck in a vehicle.

[01:52:08] Uh, yeah, I'll, I'll aim and shoot at him.

[01:52:13] Cause he's now posing a threat to the, to the group.

[01:52:17] Uh, that fuck, uh, that's a four under five.

[01:52:24] You miss.

[01:52:26] The, one of the bandits is going to go next.

[01:52:29] They are going to fire into the driver's window and you spray to try and hit the two of you,

[01:52:39] St.

[01:52:39] Bernard and Balto.

[01:52:40] I need you both to make athletics check.

[01:52:42] We just duck down.

[01:52:46] Athletically we do.

[01:52:50] Presumably, presuming we don't fuck this roll up.

[01:52:56] Seven over one for me.

[01:52:59] Okay.

[01:52:59] Yeah.

[01:52:59] That's like, that's a, uh, three under nine.

[01:53:03] No.

[01:53:04] Okay.

[01:53:05] Let's see what St.

[01:53:05] Bernard takes.

[01:53:07] St.

[01:53:08] Bernard takes six damage to your chest.

[01:53:10] Killing damage.

[01:53:10] God.

[01:53:12] Oof.

[01:53:13] As, as a bullet grows right through the window into your chest.

[01:53:17] What happens to a stun damage that was left over?

[01:53:21] Uh, that would, that would turn to, to kill first.

[01:53:25] You, you would turn that to kill.

[01:53:26] So.

[01:53:27] And then.

[01:53:28] Was that continue on?

[01:53:29] If I had.

[01:53:30] If it's between sessions, um, all.

[01:53:33] Killing in one area can turn to stun or all stun in one area can turn to not.

[01:53:39] Is that correct?

[01:53:40] Yeah.

[01:53:42] As part of your, you know, refresh between sessions.

[01:53:46] Also, that was, what was that?

[01:53:48] Four or five killing damage.

[01:53:49] Six killing to your chest.

[01:53:51] It's killing damage.

[01:53:53] Four sounds better now, Nick.

[01:53:55] It's not what you want.

[01:53:58] Ooh, what'd you say?

[01:54:00] But fortunately, St.

[01:54:01] Bernard, it's now your turn.

[01:54:03] All right.

[01:54:04] Well.

[01:54:05] There's the injured person and the uninjured person.

[01:54:09] Yeah.

[01:54:11] I do, like, kind of fall backwards.

[01:54:14] Open the door.

[01:54:15] And, like, scramble out.

[01:54:16] And take a shot over the hood.

[01:54:18] At the, uh.

[01:54:20] The injured one.

[01:54:22] Just to make it clear, the uninjured person is the one who fired.

[01:54:26] So, uh.

[01:54:27] You fire on the injured person.

[01:54:28] Uh.

[01:54:28] You can take that shot.

[01:54:30] Actually.

[01:54:30] You know what?

[01:54:31] If it was the.

[01:54:32] If it was the uninjured one who shot at us.

[01:54:34] I'm gonna shoot that motherfucker.

[01:54:38] That's only right.

[01:54:39] And I will.

[01:54:40] And I will.

[01:54:41] Use a charge on the old Ubix specs.

[01:54:44] For, uh.

[01:54:46] For, uh.

[01:54:47] For, uh.

[01:54:49] Uh.

[01:54:50] Dead eyes.

[01:54:52] I'm gonna go ahead and mark that off.

[01:54:55] Because.

[01:54:56] No.

[01:54:56] And I really can't.

[01:54:57] I feel like I can't emphasize this enough.

[01:54:59] Fuck that guy.

[01:55:02] So.

[01:55:03] I think the, um.

[01:55:06] So that plus one I get from being a fenceman.

[01:55:08] Though that's against casualties.

[01:55:10] So.

[01:55:11] Yes.

[01:55:11] It would be a plus three.

[01:55:13] Nope.

[01:55:14] Sorry.

[01:55:14] It would be a plus four.

[01:55:15] Because I get a plus two from the.

[01:55:16] From the app.

[01:55:17] That's right.

[01:55:18] Yeah.

[01:55:20] Oh.

[01:55:21] Eat shit.

[01:55:22] Uh.

[01:55:22] That's a total of.

[01:55:23] The black seven over a red two.

[01:55:26] Okay.

[01:55:27] So roll for damage and location.

[01:55:30] All right.

[01:55:33] Uh.

[01:55:34] Black two.

[01:55:35] Red nine.

[01:55:36] You.

[01:55:37] Managed to put a bullet back into their chest.

[01:55:40] But just winging them slightly.

[01:55:43] Eye for an eye.

[01:55:45] It's biblical.

[01:55:47] Shake.

[01:55:47] What would you like to do?

[01:55:49] Shake is going to.

[01:55:51] Go ahead.

[01:55:52] I hate to leave anything unfinished.

[01:55:54] Nick.

[01:55:55] I mean.

[01:55:55] It just seems really poor form.

[01:55:57] So.

[01:55:58] Oh.

[01:55:58] Injured boy.

[01:55:59] I'm going to put.

[01:56:00] Uh.

[01:56:01] Put another round in him.

[01:56:02] If I can.

[01:56:04] So.

[01:56:05] All right.

[01:56:05] So.

[01:56:07] That is.

[01:56:08] Eleven.

[01:56:09] No.

[01:56:09] Excuse me.

[01:56:10] Excuse me.

[01:56:11] With the modification of plus four.

[01:56:13] That is thirteen over five.

[01:56:16] So.

[01:56:16] If we're rerolling for hit damage.

[01:56:19] Then that will be.

[01:56:20] That's.

[01:56:21] Four to seven.

[01:56:23] So.

[01:56:24] I guess I put.

[01:56:25] I shot him in the chest.

[01:56:26] Shot him in the chest.

[01:56:28] Yeah.

[01:56:29] Okay.

[01:56:29] He's still up.

[01:56:30] He's still up.

[01:56:31] But barely.

[01:56:33] He is going to fire at you shake.

[01:56:36] Okay.

[01:56:37] Because you've been firing at him.

[01:56:39] That.

[01:56:39] That all he simply asked you to do.

[01:56:41] Was abandon your vehicle.

[01:56:43] I'm sorry.

[01:56:44] How many times do I got to kill these assholes?

[01:56:47] All right.

[01:56:48] That is.

[01:56:50] Seven over five.

[01:56:51] As well.

[01:56:52] You managed to duck out of the way.

[01:56:55] Um.

[01:56:56] And then road salt.

[01:56:57] Your go.

[01:56:58] All right.

[01:56:59] Pop around the corner of the back of the truck.

[01:57:01] And just shoot on.

[01:57:02] At them with my handgun.

[01:57:05] The really injured one that's closer.

[01:57:07] Or the slightly injured one.

[01:57:09] Who is farther away.

[01:57:10] The really injured one that's closer.

[01:57:13] Because.

[01:57:13] I would be more likely to hit with my handgun.

[01:57:16] Okay.

[01:57:17] I got a.

[01:57:18] A nine over five.

[01:57:19] Natural.

[01:57:21] You don't even have to roll for damage.

[01:57:23] Because they were barely holding on.

[01:57:24] Uh.

[01:57:24] That person.

[01:57:25] Slumps down.

[01:57:27] Drops the rifle.

[01:57:28] Hits the ground.

[01:57:30] Next to some other fallen.

[01:57:32] Companions.

[01:57:34] And we're back to the top of the order.

[01:57:35] With Balto.

[01:57:36] There is the person who.

[01:57:37] Lit up.

[01:57:38] Your.

[01:57:39] Precious vehicle's.

[01:57:40] Windshield left.

[01:57:42] Yep.

[01:57:43] St. Bernard.

[01:57:44] Do you want some healing first?

[01:57:45] Or should I.

[01:57:45] Continue shooting?

[01:57:47] You could always heal me after.

[01:57:49] That's true.

[01:57:50] Uh.

[01:57:51] Yeah.

[01:57:52] What?

[01:57:54] I insist.

[01:57:55] You give a predator quote.

[01:57:57] Um.

[01:57:58] Ain't.

[01:57:58] Ain't got time to bleed.

[01:58:02] Sorry.

[01:58:03] Please keep playing.

[01:58:03] I'll quit being rude.

[01:58:06] I'm just.

[01:58:07] I'm.

[01:58:07] I'm.

[01:58:07] I'm.

[01:58:07] I'm.

[01:58:08] I'm.

[01:58:09] I'm.

[01:58:09] I'm.

[01:58:09] I'm.

[01:58:09] I'm.

[01:58:10] I'm.

[01:58:10] I'm.

[01:58:11] I'm.

[01:58:11] I'm.

[01:58:14] I'm.

[01:58:14] I'm.

[01:58:19] I'm.

[01:58:22] I'm.

[01:58:22] I'm.

[01:58:23] I'm.

[01:58:24] No.

[01:58:27] Roll location and damage.

[01:58:28] Yep.

[01:58:30] Say.

[01:58:31] Weird.

[01:58:32] Uh.

[01:58:32] That's.

[01:58:33] Six.

[01:58:34] Uh.

[01:58:34] Black.

[01:58:34] Seven.

[01:58:35] Red.

[01:58:36] We'll say that you put them down two.

[01:58:39] And they hit the ground.

[01:58:42] There is one person in one of the vehicles.

[01:58:45] Descerately trying.

[01:58:47] Uh.

[01:58:47] Actually there's two people.

[01:58:48] I.

[01:58:48] I think there was.

[01:58:49] Two vehicles.

[01:58:49] There are people trying to get out.

[01:58:51] But they seem to be stuck.

[01:58:53] There's no immediate threats around you.

[01:58:56] Our wagon's got to come by here.

[01:58:58] We can't just.

[01:58:58] Uh.

[01:58:59] Just leave this here for them to run by.

[01:59:01] We either got to stay and cover them.

[01:59:03] Or do something.

[01:59:04] That's some gas in those cars.

[01:59:07] I'm saying.

[01:59:09] Like if we.

[01:59:10] Like.

[01:59:10] How.

[01:59:10] How's the weather looking right now?

[01:59:12] Like.

[01:59:12] Are we good on that front?

[01:59:14] I mean.

[01:59:14] The train's going for miles.

[01:59:15] It's not like.

[01:59:16] It's like.

[01:59:16] One pinpoint.

[01:59:18] Place for the casualties to converge on.

[01:59:21] Like.

[01:59:21] What's.

[01:59:21] Uh.

[01:59:23] What's a.

[01:59:25] You know.

[01:59:27] Do y'all want to.

[01:59:28] Pilfer this scene.

[01:59:29] There's weapons that we could sell.

[01:59:31] Yeah.

[01:59:33] There's potential fuel.

[01:59:34] If they haven't.

[01:59:35] Gone up completely in smoke.

[01:59:37] Also.

[01:59:38] Saint Bernard needs to be healed.

[01:59:40] I also have a bullet wound.

[01:59:43] Yeah.

[01:59:44] Yeah.

[01:59:44] Oh god.

[01:59:46] After I get out of my blood rage.

[01:59:48] For my.

[01:59:48] My precious car.

[01:59:50] Is.

[01:59:50] It's.

[01:59:51] It's the.

[01:59:52] Train.

[01:59:53] Past the shit.

[01:59:54] Or is it still.

[01:59:55] Chugging.

[01:59:56] This sounds like an aftermath.

[01:59:58] Honestly.

[01:59:59] I'll allow like a foresight check.

[02:00:01] Or a research check.

[02:00:02] If you want to know.

[02:00:03] The approximate location of the train.

[02:00:06] Or timing.

[02:00:07] I got one in each.

[02:00:08] Same.

[02:00:09] I wouldn't have had any better.

[02:00:11] Go for it.

[02:00:13] Uh.

[02:00:13] To roll it.

[02:00:15] Oh.

[02:00:16] Okay.

[02:00:19] Fuck.

[02:00:19] Oh shit.

[02:00:20] Was that.

[02:00:21] Was that.

[02:00:21] Adam roll.

[02:00:22] Or is that me.

[02:00:23] I can't roll.

[02:00:25] Okay.

[02:00:25] Well.

[02:00:25] Oh fuck.

[02:00:26] Our dice hate us today.

[02:00:28] Three under six.

[02:00:31] You could tap a reference.

[02:00:33] You know somebody in the ovation.

[02:00:35] You know.

[02:00:36] Uh.

[02:00:36] You.

[02:00:37] Like.

[02:00:37] Road salt thinks that.

[02:00:39] This is probably aftermath.

[02:00:41] The train.

[02:00:41] They probably attacked the train.

[02:00:42] And these people.

[02:00:43] Were fended off.

[02:00:45] Uh.

[02:00:45] Maybe there was an advanced group.

[02:00:47] Just to clear the tracks.

[02:00:48] Um.

[02:00:49] Those are the two possibilities.

[02:00:52] But these two people look like.

[02:00:53] These people do look like.

[02:00:54] They were in a fight.

[02:00:55] Like the vehicles.

[02:00:55] Look like they were shot up.

[02:00:57] That they were.

[02:00:58] Crashed.

[02:00:59] Because of gunfire.

[02:01:00] That kind of thing.

[02:01:02] This really does look like.

[02:01:03] An aftermath to me guys.

[02:01:04] Just based on what I'm seeing.

[02:01:06] Yeah.

[02:01:07] I mean.

[02:01:08] But what if it's a.

[02:01:09] Like what if it's like a clearing.

[02:01:10] Like or what if it's an advanced job.

[02:01:12] Or advanced.

[02:01:13] Party.

[02:01:14] They shot your.

[02:01:16] Shamblants.

[02:01:17] Was just go down there.

[02:01:19] Yeah.

[02:01:19] Take some compensation.

[02:01:21] Shoot the two guys in the car.

[02:01:23] Siphon some gas.

[02:01:25] I mean.

[02:01:25] I know it sounds kind of harsh.

[02:01:27] But.

[02:01:28] Oh jeez.

[02:01:30] Uh.

[02:01:31] Yeah.

[02:01:32] All right.

[02:01:32] Um.

[02:01:33] And.

[02:01:34] Somebody's gotta.

[02:01:35] I gotta attend to.

[02:01:37] To St. Bernard's.

[02:01:38] Wound.

[02:01:38] At some point.

[02:01:40] Here.

[02:01:41] Shake.

[02:01:41] Come on down here with me.

[02:01:42] Let's.

[02:01:43] Let's let them do that.

[02:01:44] And let's.

[02:01:44] Let's.

[02:01:45] See if we can.

[02:01:47] Take care of those two guys.

[02:01:48] And then get some.

[02:01:49] Fuel out.

[02:01:50] The first vehicle you come up to.

[02:01:53] The person.

[02:01:54] Is struggling with their.

[02:01:55] Their seat belt.

[02:01:56] Uh.

[02:01:56] They see you coming.

[02:01:58] They raise their hands.

[02:01:59] I surrender.

[02:02:00] I surrender.

[02:02:01] I surrender.

[02:02:02] I'm not.

[02:02:02] I'm not a threat.

[02:02:03] I'm just stuck.

[02:02:05] Boom.

[02:02:06] Okay.

[02:02:07] I've had a bad day.

[02:02:09] I will ask.

[02:02:11] For both of you.

[02:02:12] To make a self-control check.

[02:02:14] What the hell was that.

[02:02:15] Shake.

[02:02:17] Pass.

[02:02:19] Uh.

[02:02:19] They tried to kill us.

[02:02:20] Hold on.

[02:02:21] I had stepped on my headset.

[02:02:23] And unplugged it.

[02:02:23] While carrying up.

[02:02:25] Food.

[02:02:26] To cook.

[02:02:26] So.

[02:02:27] I.

[02:02:27] I was kind of missing a lot of stuff.

[02:02:29] I just.

[02:02:30] I just always come out.

[02:02:31] Blast.

[02:02:32] Self-control.

[02:02:35] Oh yeah.

[02:02:36] 12 over 8.

[02:02:38] You guys both.

[02:02:39] Don't lose anything.

[02:02:41] Look.

[02:02:42] They.

[02:02:42] Attacked us.

[02:02:43] Look at them.

[02:02:44] I doubt.

[02:02:45] They're.

[02:02:45] They're Mormon missionaries.

[02:02:47] I thought they were at first.

[02:02:48] But I'm pretty sure they're not.

[02:02:51] These are raiders.

[02:02:53] I mean.

[02:02:54] This is what Mormon missionaries look like now.

[02:02:57] I had.

[02:02:58] Some pamphlets.

[02:02:59] For.

[02:03:00] Yeah.

[02:03:01] And they.

[02:03:02] That's.

[02:03:03] I'm.

[02:03:03] I'm sorry.

[02:03:04] I.

[02:03:04] I just.

[02:03:05] I'm having a bad day.

[02:03:06] Okay.

[02:03:06] Had a bad day.

[02:03:08] Yeah.

[02:03:09] Well here.

[02:03:09] Cover me while I scavenge this car.

[02:03:12] Okay.

[02:03:13] Natural.

[02:03:13] 8 over 1.

[02:03:15] 11 over 1.

[02:03:16] If you add my.

[02:03:17] Bonus.

[02:03:19] I'll.

[02:03:19] I'll say that was just for all the vehicles.

[02:03:22] Yeah.

[02:03:23] You.

[02:03:24] Can find.

[02:03:25] I'm not going to give you.

[02:03:26] Eight charges of fuel.

[02:03:27] Or anything like that.

[02:03:28] Damn it.

[02:03:31] Come on.

[02:03:32] He lost a windshield.

[02:03:37] Safelite don't come out here anymore.

[02:03:39] I will say that you manage.

[02:03:41] To get four charges of fuel.

[02:03:45] Woo.

[02:03:45] Boys.

[02:03:46] We charged up.

[02:03:49] Do we.

[02:03:51] It's weapon wise.

[02:03:52] Do we get to count.

[02:03:53] Any of that kind of stuff.

[02:03:54] Into our.

[02:03:54] Yes.

[02:03:55] I will say you could do another scavenge check.

[02:03:57] For the bodies in general.

[02:04:00] I got.

[02:04:01] Only one in scavenge.

[02:04:02] I think.

[02:04:03] I have three in scavenge.

[02:04:04] Yeah.

[02:04:05] That's all you.

[02:04:07] That is a.

[02:04:09] It would be a five under six.

[02:04:10] But I got a plus three.

[02:04:11] So eight over six.

[02:04:12] You find.

[02:04:13] I will say that.

[02:04:15] You can find.

[02:04:16] Either.

[02:04:18] A.

[02:04:19] So you can find.

[02:04:20] Three guns.

[02:04:21] You find three operable guns.

[02:04:23] Total.

[02:04:24] They could either be.

[02:04:26] A.

[02:04:27] Rifle.

[02:04:29] With.

[02:04:30] No upgrades.

[02:04:32] A.

[02:04:34] Shot.

[02:04:35] Gun.

[02:04:37] With an upgrade.

[02:04:38] A.

[02:04:39] Handgun.

[02:04:39] With an upgrade.

[02:04:40] Or any combination.

[02:04:41] Of the.

[02:04:42] The three.

[02:04:43] So you take one of each.

[02:04:45] Or.

[02:04:47] You know.

[02:04:48] All shotguns.

[02:04:49] All rifles.

[02:04:50] Or all handguns.

[02:04:51] But you find three weapons.

[02:04:52] Total.

[02:04:54] These guys are going up.

[02:04:55] Against a train.

[02:04:56] I'm thinking it's three rifles.

[02:04:57] So you find.

[02:04:58] Three rifles.

[02:04:59] That are still in working condition.

[02:05:02] Right.

[02:05:03] That's marked in our.

[02:05:04] Treasure chest.

[02:05:06] I can remember.

[02:05:07] Getting shot by raffles.

[02:05:08] On that train.

[02:05:10] I think you guys have.

[02:05:12] Scavenged.

[02:05:13] All that you've wanted.

[02:05:14] And everything.

[02:05:15] So I guess it's down to Balto.

[02:05:17] Doing that mechanics check.

[02:05:19] To see if you can drive your.

[02:05:20] Shambulance.

[02:05:21] Out of here.

[02:05:22] All right.

[02:05:27] Well that's four under.

[02:05:28] Ten.

[02:05:30] What does that mean?

[02:05:31] Do you want to use a will.

[02:05:33] Or do you want to tap a reference.

[02:05:34] To get a second opinion.

[02:05:35] On how to fix your shambulance.

[02:05:36] Otherwise.

[02:05:37] It might be part of the.

[02:05:38] The wreckage along the.

[02:05:40] No.

[02:05:40] Train tracks.

[02:05:41] Nope.

[02:05:42] I will.

[02:05:43] Does anyone else have mechanics?

[02:05:46] Oh.

[02:05:46] Absolutely.

[02:05:48] Like.

[02:05:48] Would you allow that.

[02:05:49] Or you want to kind of go with.

[02:05:50] The original.

[02:05:50] An original idea there Nick.

[02:05:52] I would.

[02:05:53] I would need some additional thing.

[02:05:55] Because it's.

[02:05:56] One in Denon checks.

[02:05:57] And he just did a mechanics checks.

[02:05:58] To try and get it started.

[02:06:00] So you would need some sort of.

[02:06:02] Extra.

[02:06:03] To make it a new check.

[02:06:05] Well.

[02:06:05] I can spend my will.

[02:06:07] Sure that I won't need that later.

[02:06:10] Yeah.

[02:06:11] I.

[02:06:11] I think I'll spend that will.

[02:06:13] So.

[02:06:14] I'll just mark that off.

[02:06:15] I guess.

[02:06:16] So.

[02:06:17] Balto.

[02:06:18] Looks out from under the hood.

[02:06:20] Sad.

[02:06:22] Road salt starts to walk up.

[02:06:24] To offer his help.

[02:06:26] And then craze.

[02:06:27] Balto just like.

[02:06:28] Hits the engine.

[02:06:30] Just hard.

[02:06:31] And then sputters to life.

[02:06:33] Hey.

[02:06:37] Works more often than you think.

[02:06:38] Like.

[02:06:40] Like a priest laying on hands.

[02:06:45] A single lightning bolt.

[02:06:47] Strikes the engine.

[02:06:50] That are useful.

[02:06:52] Somewhere Bob Seger's like a rock.

[02:06:54] Is playing in the background.

[02:06:57] I'm sorry.

[02:06:58] Please continue with your guess.

[02:07:00] Fine.

[02:07:01] Does.

[02:07:01] Does.

[02:07:01] Does Ethan.

[02:07:02] Or Saint Bernard need to be healed?

[02:07:04] Yes.

[02:07:05] I have taken.

[02:07:06] Six.

[02:07:07] Killing to the torso.

[02:07:09] Oof.

[02:07:10] While all this is going on.

[02:07:11] I'm just in the back.

[02:07:12] Of the.

[02:07:13] Of the shambles.

[02:07:16] He's laid out on.

[02:07:18] The area that used to have.

[02:07:20] The stretcher.

[02:07:21] Waiting for you to come back.

[02:07:23] Great.

[02:07:24] So I guess.

[02:07:25] I'll.

[02:07:26] I was about to get ready.

[02:07:28] To start driving.

[02:07:29] And then I hear like.

[02:07:29] A bang on the back of the door.

[02:07:31] I was like.

[02:07:31] What?

[02:07:31] Oh shit.

[02:07:32] Sorry.

[02:07:32] Sorry.

[02:07:33] There's Saint Bernard.

[02:07:35] Gentlemen.

[02:07:35] I am still bleeding quite heavily.

[02:07:38] Oh god.

[02:07:40] I told you to keep that pad on.

[02:07:42] Or hold.

[02:07:42] Hold on the wound.

[02:07:45] Yeah.

[02:07:45] So I'll.

[02:07:46] I'll.

[02:07:46] I'll roll.

[02:07:47] I'll roll the heal.

[02:07:54] Oh.

[02:07:54] That's a critical success.

[02:07:55] I think.

[02:07:56] With a 2-2.

[02:07:58] So you can heal.

[02:07:59] Four charges worth.

[02:08:01] Or you could.

[02:08:01] You have four charges.

[02:08:02] To work with.

[02:08:03] You can try and kill.

[02:08:04] To stun.

[02:08:05] Or remove.

[02:08:06] A stun.

[02:08:07] Like that all stuff.

[02:08:08] All that stuff.

[02:08:10] Is that.

[02:08:11] Ethan's choice?

[02:08:12] Yeah.

[02:08:12] I'll let Ethan choose.

[02:08:14] Where it wants to go.

[02:08:15] I mean.

[02:08:15] Unless he wants Balto to choose.

[02:08:17] I'm being generous.

[02:08:18] Either one of you could choose.

[02:08:20] I mean.

[02:08:20] It's a simple choice.

[02:08:21] I have.

[02:08:23] Six kill.

[02:08:23] And no stun.

[02:08:24] So.

[02:08:26] Yeah.

[02:08:27] Let me just make that.

[02:08:27] There you go.

[02:08:29] Let's downgrade.

[02:08:30] More of that kill.

[02:08:31] The stun.

[02:08:33] I'm only bleeding.

[02:08:34] A little bit.

[02:08:35] Now actually.

[02:08:36] Hang.

[02:08:36] Hang on.

[02:08:36] Because I got 2-2.

[02:08:37] But I also have like.

[02:08:38] Three in hit first aid.

[02:08:39] So would it.

[02:08:40] Technically be.

[02:08:41] Five over two.

[02:08:42] I just doubled.

[02:08:43] The natural block.

[02:08:44] That you had.

[02:08:45] All right.

[02:08:45] Gotcha.

[02:08:45] Because it was a critical.

[02:08:47] Yeah.

[02:08:48] Just St. Bernard.

[02:08:50] You still want to be in the shotgun seat.

[02:08:53] Or.

[02:08:54] Actually it doesn't really matter so much.

[02:08:56] Ignore I said that.

[02:08:57] Because.

[02:08:58] You guys head off.

[02:08:59] Spend another charge of fuel.

[02:09:02] The.

[02:09:03] Wagons.

[02:09:04] Are.

[02:09:05] Making their way.

[02:09:06] It starts to get dark.

[02:09:09] And.

[02:09:10] The.

[02:09:12] Gideon.

[02:09:13] Calls you and says that they're going to make a camp for the night.

[02:09:16] You guys.

[02:09:17] Circle the wagons.

[02:09:19] Literally.

[02:09:19] And have a campfire going.

[02:09:24] And.

[02:09:25] Gideon comes up to you guys.

[02:09:28] So.

[02:09:28] We're going to.

[02:09:29] We're going to camp for the night.

[02:09:30] We'll make it there.

[02:09:31] Tomorrow.

[02:09:33] You know.

[02:09:33] It's best not to travel.

[02:09:35] When it's dark out.

[02:09:36] Especially coming up on a enclave.

[02:09:39] So.

[02:09:40] Is it right if you guys keep watch?

[02:09:44] Sure thing.

[02:09:44] Dang.

[02:09:45] They come out at night.

[02:09:47] Mostly.

[02:09:48] I love that movie.

[02:09:52] All right.

[02:09:52] Well.

[02:09:53] We'll sleep inside the circle.

[02:09:55] I.

[02:09:56] Trust you guys know how to.

[02:09:57] To keep watch.

[02:09:58] You.

[02:09:58] Professional takers.

[02:09:59] Right.

[02:10:00] I'll.

[02:10:01] Leave the decisions up to you.

[02:10:03] I will also ask you guys.

[02:10:04] To spend a ration.

[02:10:05] Because you're technically like.

[02:10:06] Spending the night.

[02:10:08] And you.

[02:10:08] Spend a ration for like dinner.

[02:10:10] That's fine.

[02:10:12] Says we sit around our campfire.

[02:10:14] Eating beans.

[02:10:16] Probably in the dark.

[02:10:18] Rosalch.

[02:10:19] Did you see Balto?

[02:10:21] Back there?

[02:10:22] He smacked.

[02:10:23] Then.

[02:10:23] He.

[02:10:24] To fix him.

[02:10:25] Works more than you think.

[02:10:27] I too was surprised.

[02:10:31] Well.

[02:10:32] It's not in good shape.

[02:10:33] I think it's going to be a liability.

[02:10:35] No.

[02:10:36] Don't say that.

[02:10:38] Doing shifts.

[02:10:39] I suppose.

[02:10:40] That would be the best.

[02:10:43] Out of character.

[02:10:44] I know it's pretty much.

[02:10:45] An awareness check.

[02:10:47] So.

[02:10:48] I have.

[02:10:49] A two in awareness.

[02:10:50] So I'll volunteer.

[02:10:51] For part of the watch.

[02:10:53] I also bring awareness.

[02:10:55] Do we want.

[02:10:56] Do we want a buddy system.

[02:10:58] It's so we could have one.

[02:11:00] Is this one check.

[02:11:01] Nick.

[02:11:02] Or is this going to be two checks.

[02:11:03] Or.

[02:11:03] How are you planning on doing this?

[02:11:05] It depends on.

[02:11:06] What type of shifts.

[02:11:07] You create and everything.

[02:11:09] But it would be.

[02:11:11] Well.

[02:11:11] I would allow.

[02:11:12] Multiple checks.

[02:11:13] If there are multiple people on watch.

[02:11:15] Because you guys could be.

[02:11:16] Looking in different directions.

[02:11:18] And stuff like that.

[02:11:19] So we should probably.

[02:11:20] I think.

[02:11:22] That.

[02:11:22] It would make sense.

[02:11:23] To break up.

[02:11:23] Our two strong awareness.

[02:11:25] Into two.

[02:11:26] Different shift people.

[02:11:27] So.

[02:11:28] You know.

[02:11:28] Say for example.

[02:11:30] Balto.

[02:11:31] And.

[02:11:32] Shake.

[02:11:33] You know.

[02:11:33] Team injury.

[02:11:34] Can take the.

[02:11:36] Take a watch.

[02:11:36] And then everyone else.

[02:11:38] Can take another watch.

[02:11:40] So we'll just.

[02:11:40] Have it.

[02:11:41] That sounds fine.

[02:11:43] I have pretty.

[02:11:45] I have.

[02:11:45] Two awareness as well.

[02:11:47] So.

[02:11:48] Okay.

[02:11:49] Are you.

[02:11:50] Are you just one.

[02:11:52] Balto?

[02:11:53] Yeah.

[02:11:54] Yeah.

[02:11:54] Just the one.

[02:11:54] Awareness.

[02:11:55] So.

[02:11:56] All right.

[02:11:57] Well.

[02:11:58] Yeah.

[02:11:58] If you.

[02:11:59] Are you all cool too then.

[02:12:00] Two shifts or two.

[02:12:06] Four shifts.

[02:12:09] Shake.

[02:12:11] And who wants.

[02:12:12] A ball.

[02:12:13] Balto.

[02:12:14] Balto.

[02:12:14] Or.

[02:12:14] St. Bernard.

[02:12:16] I can do it.

[02:12:17] Okay.

[02:12:18] St. Bernard.

[02:12:19] Wants to go first.

[02:12:20] Or does St. Bernard.

[02:12:21] Maybe want to rest a little bit.

[02:12:23] I'm icing my ribs at the moment.

[02:12:26] You have ice out here?

[02:12:31] I just killed a casualty.

[02:12:32] And there was some ice in its pockets.

[02:12:35] Along with spaghetti.

[02:12:38] Them damn Yeti coolers.

[02:12:40] They work amazingly well.

[02:12:42] Especially in the near future.

[02:12:45] Yo Yeti.

[02:12:47] World salt.

[02:12:48] St. Bernard.

[02:12:49] Look a second.

[02:12:49] I will need a representative from each group to roll a D10 and tell me what that number is.

[02:12:55] Okay.

[02:12:56] Balto.

[02:12:57] I have faith in you.

[02:12:58] Oh really?

[02:12:59] Okay.

[02:12:59] You've been to Messiah so far.

[02:13:02] You were the chosen one.

[02:13:04] Uh.

[02:13:07] See if I lead us down the dark path.

[02:13:10] Uh.

[02:13:11] That's a two.

[02:13:12] Okay.

[02:13:13] Two from first shift.

[02:13:15] Seven for second shift.

[02:13:17] Seven for second shift.

[02:13:19] Okay.

[02:13:20] So first shift.

[02:13:23] Everyone's asleep.

[02:13:24] Except for you two.

[02:13:26] Do you have a fire?

[02:13:27] Fire?

[02:13:28] Or do you just stare off into the darkness?

[02:13:32] Fires would attract humans.

[02:13:34] More so than it would casualties.

[02:13:38] And since we're pretty much in the middle of nowhere anyway.

[02:13:42] I think.

[02:13:43] Uh.

[02:13:43] I would.

[02:13:44] I would argue that we would just be staring into the darkness.

[02:13:47] Listening.

[02:13:49] Yeah.

[02:13:49] Because we're hearing for clacking.

[02:13:51] Or any kind of movement I guess.

[02:13:54] Not just the clacking.

[02:13:56] Maybe also the.

[02:13:57] The ground being disturbed.

[02:13:59] For clapping.

[02:14:01] I love it.

[02:14:02] I need both of you.

[02:14:04] To roll awareness checks.

[02:14:05] Or alertness checks.

[02:14:06] Or whatever this game system uses for perception.

[02:14:08] It's awareness.

[02:14:10] Awareness.

[02:14:12] Alright.

[02:14:12] That's eleven over five.

[02:14:14] That is.

[02:14:16] Seven.

[02:14:17] Under nine.

[02:14:18] It's going great guys.

[02:14:20] Shake.

[02:14:22] Mm-hmm.

[02:14:23] In the darkness.

[02:14:25] Just.

[02:14:27] Past the.

[02:14:28] Where the.

[02:14:29] Your night vision ends.

[02:14:32] Past that.

[02:14:33] You hear what sounds like movement.

[02:14:36] In the brush.

[02:14:37] Out there.

[02:14:38] Mm-hmm.

[02:14:39] Sounds like something big.

[02:14:41] Not like.

[02:14:42] A person.

[02:14:45] You hear something moving out there.

[02:14:47] And then it stops.

[02:14:48] And then you hear.

[02:14:50] Slightly softer movement.

[02:14:53] And then it stops.

[02:14:55] Hmm.

[02:14:58] Do you have Ubix.

[02:15:00] Balto?

[02:15:01] No.

[02:15:02] No.

[02:15:03] I've been meaning to get one.

[02:15:05] But I had to.

[02:15:07] I've been.

[02:15:07] I had.

[02:15:08] I'm going to have to.

[02:15:09] I'm going to have to.

[02:15:09] Replace the windshield.

[02:15:10] On the.

[02:15:10] On the shambulance.

[02:15:12] Okay.

[02:15:13] So.

[02:15:14] Are we watching at different points?

[02:15:16] Or are we kind of.

[02:15:17] Hustled.

[02:15:18] Nestled together.

[02:15:19] Kind of watching.

[02:15:20] I was thinking that we were probably looking in.

[02:15:22] Like.

[02:15:22] Like looking.

[02:15:23] Like kind of looking in different directions.

[02:15:24] Just to like.

[02:15:25] If it's.

[02:15:26] If it's circular.

[02:15:27] We were.

[02:15:27] I would say we would probably be at three and nine.

[02:15:29] That would probably make the most sense.

[02:15:32] Or.

[02:15:33] You know.

[02:15:33] Of twelve and six.

[02:15:34] Or.

[02:15:34] You know.

[02:15:35] We're.

[02:15:35] We all have kind of a.

[02:15:37] Field of vision.

[02:15:38] There.

[02:15:39] So.

[02:15:40] The sound sounds like it's coming closer.

[02:15:41] Right?

[02:15:42] It sounded like it was coming closer to a point.

[02:15:45] And then stopped.

[02:15:46] Like the.

[02:15:47] The.

[02:15:47] The noise of the bigger.

[02:15:49] The bigger noise of the bigger thing.

[02:15:52] And then it stopped.

[02:15:53] And then it sounded like.

[02:15:55] There was.

[02:15:56] Smaller.

[02:15:57] Softer noises.

[02:15:57] Of something smaller moving after that.

[02:16:00] Fucking bear.

[02:16:02] Fucking bear.

[02:16:04] I guess.

[02:16:05] I'm watching.

[02:16:06] I don't want to just start capping off rounds.

[02:16:09] And setting everything.

[02:16:10] You know.

[02:16:11] Off.

[02:16:12] I'm kind of.

[02:16:12] I'm going to watch in that general direction.

[02:16:15] And maybe.

[02:16:17] Get ready to throw a ration out there.

[02:16:19] Maybe to distract.

[02:16:20] Like to.

[02:16:22] Pay the toll.

[02:16:24] So that's what I'm thinking.

[02:16:24] I'm thinking it's a bear.

[02:16:25] So I'm just going to watch.

[02:16:27] And observe.

[02:16:29] So after a few minutes.

[02:16:31] You hear some more noises out there.

[02:16:33] Um.

[02:16:34] You hear a grunt.

[02:16:35] And then.

[02:16:36] Movement.

[02:16:37] It sounds like there's at least.

[02:16:38] Two things.

[02:16:39] Moving out there.

[02:16:41] One of them.

[02:16:42] Grunted.

[02:16:43] Uh.

[02:16:43] Do you want to do anything?

[02:16:44] Or should I continue on?

[02:16:46] Are they coming closer?

[02:16:48] Are they still staying about the same range?

[02:16:50] They're about the same range.

[02:16:52] They've.

[02:16:52] They might be.

[02:16:53] Like it's.

[02:16:54] You can't tell perfect distances.

[02:16:56] They might have gotten a little closer.

[02:16:57] But they're still not.

[02:16:58] Like within sight range.

[02:17:00] I think I got stealth.

[02:17:02] I'm stupid.

[02:17:04] Uh.

[02:17:05] I got stealth at two.

[02:17:07] Is it possible for me to try to.

[02:17:09] To sneak up.

[02:17:10] And get a better look at what's going on.

[02:17:11] Okay.

[02:17:12] Yeah.

[02:17:12] You can stealth up.

[02:17:13] Okay.

[02:17:13] Just remember to.

[02:17:14] Go down wind.

[02:17:16] Oh yeah.

[02:17:17] That's ten over eight.

[02:17:18] No.

[02:17:18] Excuse me.

[02:17:19] It's twelve over eight.

[02:17:20] I have two in the stealth.

[02:17:22] All right.

[02:17:22] Okay.

[02:17:23] Uh.

[02:17:24] So you sneak into the woods.

[02:17:26] And you go through some trees.

[02:17:29] You come upon.

[02:17:31] What looks like.

[02:17:32] Two person.

[02:17:33] Two people.

[02:17:34] Next to a.

[02:17:34] Uh.

[02:17:35] Horse pulled wagon.

[02:17:37] And.

[02:17:38] They seem to have.

[02:17:39] Two crates unloaded.

[02:17:42] And there's a couple more on the wagon.

[02:17:44] Are they asleep?

[02:17:46] No.

[02:17:47] No.

[02:17:47] They seem to have.

[02:17:48] Uh.

[02:17:48] Been unloading the wagon.

[02:17:50] Hmm.

[02:17:52] I guess.

[02:17:53] Uh.

[02:17:54] I'll kind of sit there.

[02:17:55] And.

[02:17:56] Watch for a minute.

[02:17:56] Just to see.

[02:17:57] Exactly what their intentions are.

[02:17:59] I'm not really one to start a fight.

[02:18:01] And.

[02:18:02] You know.

[02:18:02] My.

[02:18:03] Me making my presence aware.

[02:18:04] In the middle of the night.

[02:18:05] Would probably draw gunfire.

[02:18:09] Okay.

[02:18:09] So.

[02:18:10] Just watch them for a little bit.

[02:18:12] They.

[02:18:13] Finish unloading the wagon.

[02:18:15] They both together.

[02:18:16] Grab.

[02:18:17] One of the.

[02:18:17] The big boxes.

[02:18:19] Uh.

[02:18:19] They pick it up.

[02:18:20] And they start.

[02:18:21] Slowly making their way.

[02:18:23] Towards where you guys.

[02:18:24] Where.

[02:18:24] Your group is camped.

[02:18:26] Carrying the box.

[02:18:29] I'm going to ping.

[02:18:31] All right.

[02:18:31] So.

[02:18:32] I'm going to ubicly ping.

[02:18:35] Uh.

[02:18:35] God.

[02:18:36] I can't get a hold of Balto.

[02:18:38] Uh.

[02:18:38] I think I'm going to go ahead and ping Road Salt.

[02:18:40] Wake him up.

[02:18:42] Uh.

[02:18:42] Road Salt.

[02:18:43] I'm going to need an awareness check.

[02:18:45] You're sleeping.

[02:18:47] Uh.

[02:18:48] We'll do this a plus one.

[02:18:49] Plus one red.

[02:18:51] Because you are.

[02:18:51] Plus one red.

[02:18:53] Yeah.

[02:18:53] Because you're sleeping.

[02:18:55] Well then.

[02:18:56] I just barely failed.

[02:18:57] No response shake.

[02:18:59] I guess I need to make another move then.

[02:19:02] Uh.

[02:19:03] Let me burn that charge.

[02:19:04] From ubic.

[02:19:05] Uh.

[02:19:05] How about this?

[02:19:08] Uh.

[02:19:08] I'm going to follow them.

[02:19:11] And then.

[02:19:12] If I.

[02:19:13] If.

[02:19:13] The next time you prompt me.

[02:19:15] I'm going to try to get St.

[02:19:17] Bernard.

[02:19:18] On the line.

[02:19:20] So.

[02:19:21] They go to the edge.

[02:19:22] They go near the edge of the camp.

[02:19:24] And then they put the.

[02:19:25] The box.

[02:19:26] Big box down.

[02:19:27] One of them goes up a little further.

[02:19:29] To the camp.

[02:19:30] And seems to be looking around.

[02:19:33] Uh.

[02:19:34] Yeah.

[02:19:35] I'm going to ping.

[02:19:36] I'm.

[02:19:36] I'm.

[02:19:36] I'm sending a message to.

[02:19:38] God.

[02:19:39] I wish you had.

[02:19:40] You picked.

[02:19:42] I'm a.

[02:19:43] You do.

[02:19:44] Like.

[02:19:45] St. Bernard.

[02:19:46] As I.

[02:19:47] Train my gun on these people.

[02:19:49] They're making me kind of nervous.

[02:19:50] But.

[02:19:51] So.

[02:19:51] I'm going to.

[02:19:53] I'm going to ask.

[02:19:54] St. Bernard.

[02:19:55] To.

[02:19:55] I'm sending him a message.

[02:19:56] That people are entering the perimeter.

[02:19:58] And I need him to.

[02:20:00] Find out what they're doing.

[02:20:01] Since I've snuck up behind them.

[02:20:03] So.

[02:20:04] You know.

[02:20:04] St. Bernard.

[02:20:05] Give me awareness check.

[02:20:05] To see if you hear the message.

[02:20:07] Come through your sleep.

[02:20:08] Plus one to red.

[02:20:10] Uh.

[02:20:10] That'd be a five over one.

[02:20:15] Five red.

[02:20:15] Black one.

[02:20:17] Wait.

[02:20:17] Five red.

[02:20:18] Black one.

[02:20:18] I don't know.

[02:20:19] I had that backwards for a second there.

[02:20:21] So you don't hear it.

[02:20:22] Nope.

[02:20:22] Hold on.

[02:20:22] Hold on.

[02:20:23] No.

[02:20:26] I'm sorry.

[02:20:27] I've completely.

[02:20:28] In the moment.

[02:20:29] Forgotten how.

[02:20:30] Any of this works.

[02:20:32] That would be.

[02:20:33] I'm just glad you're.

[02:20:34] You're.

[02:20:35] Enjoying the story.

[02:20:36] I'm.

[02:20:36] I'm.

[02:20:36] I'm.

[02:20:37] I'm.

[02:20:38] I'm.

[02:20:38] I'm.

[02:20:38] I'm.
