Actual Play - Red Markets T-Minus - EP 5 Guns and Roses

[00:00:01] Hello and welcome to The Roleplaying Exchange. I'm Nick and I'll be running Red Markets T-Minus today. We have our four takers back with us after an interesting but successful job last time. Before we go into it, let's have them reintroduce themselves in ABCD order or ABD order.

[00:00:26] That sounds great to me. Hello, this is Adam and I will be reprising the role of Shake. He is the fringer who can't find his character sheet at the moment but we're working on that. And actually I like this character sheet better, Nick, if the original one because I don't have so much detachment from being fucking crazy from what you've subjected me to in a game of Red Markets.

[00:00:54] But you know, for those of you that are for some reason starting whatever episode this is into it, I found a pair of binoculars. They were pretty cool. They were in a dead man's hand and I just happened to look through the binoculars and I saw myself as a casualty. And I continue to see myself as a casualty wandering around. But that's okay because I got weed. And if I just stay baked enough, it's gonna be okay.

[00:01:25] Until the bad trip happens. Uh, yeah, you do get that. But, but yeah, that's Shake in a nutshell. And, uh, yeah, he's just taking care of his pregnant girlfriend, wife, common law, whatever. Mary Jane. That brings you to me. Hi, my name is Brownie. I'll be playing Sparky this time around. He is a, uh, an old miner who, as it turns out, has an exosuit.

[00:01:53] And he's also my main character's dependent because my main character was sold to a space cult. Space. We're in space. You keep bringing this up. Like, it's like you're trying to kill us. Well, you know what? One day road salt may come back. Just reminding people that he's still out there somewhere and hasn't yet been blown up on a lunch pad. As far as we know. Which brings us to. Uh, hello. Uh, I'm Chris or crazon.

[00:02:22] Uh, I go by many several names. I am playing Balto, uh, the former paramedic and ambulance driver, uh, who now is slowly, slowly cracking under the, the weight of having to refuel his baby, the shambulance. Also, he has a latent brother, uh, named Ralph and, uh, has survivor's guilt for, uh, from, from the crash. So, yay. Yay. And I am Ethan.

[00:02:52] I'm playing St. Bernard and his thousand yard stare. My favorite childhood book. His wild friend. As it turns out, selling a party member to, I mean, slavery is not quite accurate, but selling off a party member turns out, get a little detached. It's fine. It's fine. I'm fine. Everything's fine. When you get him back, it'll be okay.

[00:03:21] I mean, we have established this kind of a rent to own situation. You know, it's not really a sale. It's temporary indentured servitude. Yeah. And the interest rates are going to be outrageous. Wait, they're renting, they're renting him from me though. I'm going to make a lot of money. All right. Road detachment again. He's now a product. He's now a product. Ha, ha, ha. Product sounds so cold. He's a commodity. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. We'll see how that turns out.

[00:03:50] So, these jobs that I will be presenting today will possibly take a bit of time for planning and playing out. So, we're going to skip over vignettes today for all the players. They can all heal their columns of humanity, but St. Bernard will have to make a self-control check for the Disassociation Crumble, I believe, that you have. Yep. So, self-control.

[00:04:20] Here we go. I'm so in control. You wouldn't even... Oh. Wait. Yes, I succeed. Okay. That's a six over three. You can heal your humanity then this time. Hooray. Starting strong. One pip of trauma. Yeah. I mean, starting off strong is like, I function normally today. Huzzah for economic horror.

[00:04:49] Well, you guys find out from Lex that Isabella from the Spacer Enclave is offering a job. And if you decide to take it, they could possibly work in a little side hustle that could benefit the moths.

[00:05:19] So you know about that. You also hear word that Mr. Green, a representative of Allosign, is looking to hire some takers. You monster, Nick. Well, I guess I said that prematurely. I gotta wait till like the space cap takes like 15, maybe like five bounty and then the Mr. Green one's like 20 again. Yeah.

[00:05:48] And you know what agricultural companies probably have? Ethanol. Yeah. Gotta juice up that shambelance somehow. Well, I guess first things first is we need to figure out what the mall, I mean, what the space cadets want. I could do a networking or something with my dependent that's over there to see if he knows anything. I was about to suggest that. Yeah. Or, you know, just take it for free maybe. I don't know. What do you think, Nick?

[00:06:19] I mean, as long as you mark off the charge on the Ubix specs, I will allow it. I'm happy to do that. Yep. Okay. Marked off. I just wanted to know what the type of job is. Or the price. The price. Because, you know, we need it. A lot. Oh yeah, they, uh... I heard them, they got this job. I heard them talking about it in the mess hall.

[00:06:48] Uh, from, from the other table. They said a starting price of nine bounty. So not too far off on that bounty prediction. Yep. Yep. I rolled these prices, by the way. Uh huh. Let me just, uh, roll, uh, let me just roll the, um, foresight to see through your lies. I actually did. I know, that's fine.

[00:07:14] Um, I actually originally rolled a four for this job, but I was like, that's way too low. Look, like, is it, this war assets, is this like the war on poverty or what? Like, I really want to know what we're fighting here, Nick. You heard their pitch at the beginning. You know what you're getting, we're getting yourself into. I'm starting to feel like the Italian army in World War I, guys. So there's three of you left. What would you guys like to look into? We can see what Mr. Green is offering, I guess.

[00:07:43] Get both options on the table. Or do y'all just want to go ahead and commit since the space cadets will contribute to the miles? Let's, let's see how much, how much we've got from going for Mr. Green. I also have a question, Nick, about that.

[00:08:02] Is it possible to contact our moth liaison and try to see what the moths are going to do for us with the, with the, uh, side hustle that we were talking about? If we can make up the rest of the pay by helping the miles, then, I mean, then Mr. Green, what's the kind of factor? I'm saying factor in that cost. I mean, product with. You want to try and figure out what the bonus objective is? Is that what you're saying?

[00:08:29] Yeah. I guess as I took 30 minutes to rattle through my thoughts, but yeah. Sure. I will allow that if you want to spend the action to, to figure that out. Well, I would, uh, that's, I didn't think of that. That's actually a good thing to, to include. Shambalance, do you want to check Mr. Green first? Uh, sure. I was trying to figure out how I would do that. Um, suppose I could use, uh, networking. Networking would work.

[00:08:59] I'm trying to see if I have networking in here. I do have one in networking. So yeah. The ethanol or jet fuel shit. Um, yeah, I'll use networking to try and see if I can get a, uh, find out. Uh, what the, uh, the price is using my, my, my Ubix. Um, that is a natural 10, 10. Okay. Guys, it's only downhill from here. You said you wanted to know the price. Yeah.

[00:09:29] You find out that Mr. Green is offering 16 bounty for the job and you find out that he wants you to, uh, salvage some research that Alassine is interested in. How would you spell Alassine? Is it? A L O S I N E. All right. Okay.

[00:09:51] So, so guys, uh, the, the Mr. Green jobs, uh, an Alassine or it's a, we've got to do a salvage run for Mr. Uh, and get some stuff from Alassine. Uh, 16 bounty. Hey, what is Alassine again? They're like the Monsanto of this world. Man. Like bioengineering research into plants and stuff like that. I used to. Okay. At least friendly.

[00:10:19] You, you already know that the spacer job is nine bounty. And the models ain't going to pay anything extra for their part. It's just, that's everything. Uh, yeah, that's just nine bounty. The moths aren't going to pay anything. The whole thing with the moths is you're going to do something extra for the spacers and the spacers are going to give the moths, uh, rocket something down the line. Okay. So what is the, uh, okay. So I'll just take Intel in. What is the job?

[00:10:48] So you find out that this is a, um, it looks like you're going to have to steal some, uh, resources from another group. That they want you to, to, to hit up another group in the area and steal something from them. So it's a, uh, black bag job, so to speak. Yeah. Which is why they're hiring out.

[00:11:17] They don't necessarily want their name attached to it per se. Possibly. Okay. That's all good. So I will relay the information to everyone. So we, I guess it just leaves, uh, St. Bernard. Was he? Yes. So how much both jobs pay. And what they are or roughly what they are. The basics. Yes.

[00:11:42] You know, for the spacers, you're going to be paid nine bounty starting price to steal something. And, you know, for Alosign, you're going to be paid starting price 16 bounty to salvage research. And remind me, if we go with the moth job, we don't have competition. Is that correct? Uh, that is for the, the other type of moth job. Okay. Yeah. This is, we also do, we don't have any, uh, spots on, uh, Alex, do we? Or Lex.

[00:12:11] You will not be negotiating with Lex. Oh, okay. Cool. All right. We haven't found competition for either job. Correct. Yes. Should we look for the competition for the spacer job or for the. The job. Well, whichever one we look for is the one that we're going to probably end up doing. Right. So we should decide that now. I kind of want to see where assets work despite the, but that's, that's me. It's Adam. Not me as a shake.

[00:12:40] Uh, obviously the shambler lands get enough fuel, uh, money to finance that is also a big concern. We got to have. Yeah. Otherwise I think, uh, belt is going to end up like St. Bernard. Just like. Yeah. We're both. We're going to have like two, like, uh, two, uh, thousand yard stairs. Team. I mean, you've basically got three St. Bernard's got a thousand yard stair. Shake is constantly scanning the horizon, looking for something.

[00:13:10] Sparky is thinking elsewhere to another enclave. Yes. We're just, we're the, we're the thousand yard stair crew. Thousand yard stair masters. It's always time to change the crew name. Yep. So, uh, what do you, what do you, what do y'all think? What do y'all think? My, I'm going to put my hat in with the nine bounty job, but. But Balto looks, looks visibly hurt.

[00:13:39] Uh, when you, when, when, uh, shake says that, uh, no, um, it's like, yeah, I mean, I mean, uh, you can, you can vote against me. Yeah. Like I really need the money guys. I'm sorry. Okay. My vote is, is Mr. Green. I need that green. Shit. You talked to the right guy.

[00:14:09] Wrong green. Well, what do you think St. Bernard? I'm kind of leaning towards the, um, leaning towards the spacers. I mean, I still want to stay in good with them so that I can, uh, you know, meet back up with, uh, with road salt sometime. I mean, all right. If you guys just give me a second, I just got to go get, I just got to go, uh, buy the last bit of fuel that the, that the enclave has. Hang on. Well, what's perfect. What's perfect. We'll walk. Can we?

[00:14:40] It looks over to, it looks over to, uh, Sparky. He's like, can you like, or like, cause it remembers what happened last session or last time. Yeah. It'd make it a little bit harder, but we can probably do it. Uh, hold on. Um, I was actually getting ready to shut the door and put the mic outside and go mother. But I remembered my kids were in the house and I didn't want to just start screaming. Damn it. I love Foley work guys.

[00:15:10] So good. Well, with, with that in mind, I mean, it sounds like the general consensus is for the, the spacer job. Yep. Sans the, since the shambulance. We can, we can, uh, break the thing down too and carry it in pieces, I guess, to the mech suit until we have haul and stuff. What just whatever. We'll just use some charges on it to walk it around.

[00:15:39] I know that's been talked about before. Just spirit. Yeah. I got like one haul in me. So without the shambulance, you could also decide this after you find out what the job is or more about the job. That's also true. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. All right. Well, yeah, let's throw that beautiful bean footage. St. Bernard. Let's see. Let's go with networking. Oh, dang. That's a three under four.

[00:16:09] Would you like to spend a will or a tap a reference? Might not be worth spending a will, but tapping reference maybe. I think so. Yeah. Actually. If you want to spend a charge on the you've expect. So I'll say you can call up road salt. Ask ask him. We got a man on the inside. Yeah. Oh, he knows. He's keenly aware of that. He's keenly aware of that. That'd be worth it.

[00:16:40] That's what you call equity. I'm not going to make you roll a self control check for me being a dick. You call up road salt and he lets you know that the chain gang was also potentially looking into doing the job for the spacers for Isabella.

[00:17:02] They're some of the miners from your own enclave who had enough of mining salt in our taker crew. Road salt does have one question for you, Benny. Oh God. What do you call it? When a cow falls from space. It's a meteor. Meet your. Good talking to you. St. Bernard like laughs.

[00:17:32] Weird way. Maybe going a little crazy. It under. Road salt has to roll stress check because I hope I got he laughed at it. No, somebody likes my jokes. It's time. Person you would have to call up is Isabella. From platform space or enclave. So are you ready to start St. Bernard? Yes. You call up.

[00:18:00] The woman, Isabella, picks up on her you big specs. She appears to be in a large hangar or big hangar like space. A lot of construction noises going around. Just a second. Just a second. Just a second. You hear a door opening close and it gets quieter. Sorry about that. Who's calling? Isabella. Yes. So I'm St. Bernard. Pleasure to make your acquaintance. I understand you have a job.

[00:18:31] Yes. Yes. St. Bernard. Road salt's friend. Quite. Yeah. Yeah. Let's. You're interested in the job. Okay. Yeah. Let's get into the negotiations. Itty gritty as it were. Role leadership there, St. Bernard. Role leadership. And it has not only begun but continues. Uh, that is a three under four. Okay. Let me secretly roll.

[00:19:00] Unless you want to spend a while. Let me secretly roll to know how many rounds this negotiation is. Somewhat tempting, but. I'd also. And I'm just assuming I will continue fucking up diplomacy and. Other such checks to get money out of this job. I've gotta ask. Like. Is your family cursed? I don't. I don't know how I consistently roll this badly in this game.

[00:19:30] It's kind of incredible. I have. I have. I'm telling you. Drown them in rum. Smash one with a hammer that does bad. In front of the others. Yeah, exactly. In front of the others. So they know not to do it. First round of negotiation. Isabella is going to take some time to read one of your spots.

[00:20:00] What is your weak spot? My weak spot. We are the walking dead. We are the walking dead. Okay. Sounds like something. Someone who's really. Really damaged in humanity might. Believe. And worry about it. We are the world. So that's what Isabella is going to do on her round. You may. Do your part for round one of negotiations.

[00:20:30] All right. I don't have any of her spots or nothing, do we? Nope. All right. Oh, my dear. You know, as well as I do, that progress would be quite hindered without our help. Previously and currently. After all, my good friend Rhodes Salt has so graciously and his expertise to aid you in your quest.

[00:20:57] So, at least some compensation would not be noticed. Oh, are you using Rhodes Salt's gift spot? Or not gift spot, but a positive rep spot? Yes. Okay. Interesting. Yeah. Make that persuasion check. There we go. That is. No. 12 over six. 12 over six. Okay. You'll push two.

[00:21:27] So you're at labor. Isabella will stay at expenses. As you invoke his name from behind Isabella, you hear him actually yell to her. Hey, is that the salty dogs? Tell them to bring back some Mars bars. Yeah, it's vitally important. So we move into the first and maybe only scam. Who knows? It's a mystery. What would the rest of the crew like to do first?

[00:21:55] Well, since we don't know if we're going to have another chance, does it make the most sense to try to eliminate the competition? Or does it make more sense to do something else? Hmm. That's a good, that's a good point. I did have an idea about that. Go for it. Could. Yeah. I just presented like, could I use first aid to, to hamper the chain gang in some way?

[00:22:24] Like, you're a hippopotamus now, sir. Hey, I'm a paramedic, not a doctor. You're going to use your medical knowledge to know how to poison them just enough to make them not want to work? Just, just for, just for a few days. If you don't want to make people sick, I've got another idea for that. No.

[00:22:44] Sparky mine engineer to, you know, temporarily disable their elevator as it's coming up out of the mine at a spot where their Ubix signals can't get through so they miss their meeting with her. I do like that. That seems a little bit less like monstrous, but also like just as good. And, and you know, when they come up to the top clank, clank, there will be a Sparky with this huge wrench fixing the elevator for them. Yeah. Would you allow that, Nick? Yes, I would allow that if you want to mess with the competition.

[00:23:15] Are we good with that everyone? Mm-hmm. Yep. That is an eight over four for mine, uh, professional mine engineer. It does exactly that. You, they, they had an earlier meeting. They, they went down to the mines to get a little extra side bounty between jobs. And you got it perfectly on the way up to where they couldn't call out. They got stuck. Things got, uh, delayed for a bit. Yeah.

[00:23:45] Messed with their chances. I mean, if they can't be punctual, who, punctual, who wants to work with them anyway? Right? I mean, come on. Agreed. Yep. I think that's the next round of negotiations. There are at least two. Isabella is going to go. So, I've, I've heard from some people that, uh, some of the spacers that have worked with you out at, um, that museum as well as road salt.

[00:24:12] That you have some beliefs that humanity's time here on earth may be at an end. And I find that aligns pretty well with what we believe in our work here. We believe that earth is, is done. And it is time for humanity to leave earth behind.

[00:24:41] It's, it's, it's given us all it can, but it can only give so much. And we should take to the stars. We should settle elsewhere. We should grow and expand and leave this disease riddled planet behind. There's nothing here but death. And I, I truly think that you would work with us.

[00:25:05] Let us keep our resources devoted to that project more allocated to, to more pressing needs. Wouldn't you say that? Yeah. Have you ever heard the term spend money to make money? Not to make any omelets without breaking a few eggs. After all, what is material wealth in the new Mars Commonwealth that we will inhabit soon? Give me, uh, give me deception to show that.

[00:25:35] Yeah. Surprise bitch. I'm a communist. Oh dear. I will bend a will point this time though. Cause that was a seven. Central seven and black two. So. So you, with the will succeed in defending against her spot. So she'll only move one. What does St. Bernard say for the second round?

[00:25:57] Speaking of material resources, we do have a tendency to a bit more than the average crew, but our results are much more impressive than the average crew. After all, I think our, uh, companion has probably told you stories. Most of them are in fact completely true. Most of the stories road salt says is mostly true. I like it. Give me a check. They mostly come at night. Mostly.

[00:26:28] Oh, double tens. Nice. Hot damn. Nice. So you'll move up to, instead of one. So you push Isabella back to expenses. Oh, Oh, Oh, We have them right at the edge of the track. And we go to another scam. Probably get a, you want like a house spot or soft spot or weak spot. Well, again, we don't know if it ends next round or not.

[00:26:58] So it may benefit us more to Jack with the price. Hmm. Okay. Because until we know we have a next round or we don't have anything else to do. And if we're at the top of the scale, right? Yeah. Yeah. Our best bet would be Jack with the price now and intimidation and it quick. If there's nowhere, you know, else to go up. Hmm. That's my opinion. Yeah. I just like what, how do we check with that price? Exactly.

[00:27:28] Well, we know we're stealing resources and we know the chain gang was going out. Maybe they knew they did their, um, scam action, not scam actions, but their work life actions. And they figured out what they were supposed to go out and get. And now that they're, they know they're not going to get the job, they're drinking and pissed off and someone can go and network or drink with them or something to convince them to, you know, blab about what they were going to have to do. Gotcha.

[00:27:59] They, they potentially know what the job is if they did their work life is all I'm saying. And they know they're not getting the job cause they missed their call. Okay. So why don't we do some kind of athletics check or criminality check to have rigged ourselves up on the elevator while it was stuck. And then they're stuck in the elevator and you just listen to the entire conversation about what they found out or whatnot. Does that make sense? Like, yeah, maybe they blabber in the, while they're in the elevator, like freaking out and getting angry.

[00:28:28] They start like talking about the job. I will say that it has to be like a wired bug because the whole point of stopping them on the elevator is because wireless signals couldn't get out. Yeah. I'm just saying what if I was sitting or what if a shake was sitting on the top of the elevator before. Oh, okay. You could also do like criminality to know how to plant a wired bug or something to do. Are you trying to find out the tough spot?

[00:28:58] Is that what you're trying to find out? And you just tell me what you think we need to find out, Brownie. Oh, I'll get it. I can do this. The tough spot is something about the job that makes it tough. And if we knew that we might be able to one push with it so we don't go backwards and then to Jack at the price next round. Right, Nick? You could do that. Yes. Or you'd better know how to approach Jack at the price. Yes. Unless we just want to figure out something to Jack the price anyway.

[00:29:26] Ah, so could I do stealth to have got on top of the elevator and remain perfectly quiet? Yeah, I'm going to say it's got to be stealth and not athletics because I'm sure the elevator operators wouldn't let someone climb on the only elevator shaft out of the lifeblood of the enclave. In your Ubix you have the Mission Impossible music playing the entire time on loop.

[00:29:49] It's actually, you think it is, but if you take an off it's just that Jamaican up pick stroke of a guitar. But anyway, I wrote a 10 over 5 for my stealth check. Can you sneak on? Apparently, you find out that platforms, various fuel sources are running low.

[00:30:16] So the tough spot is handle with care. The goods you're going to be transporting are various forms of fuel and are thus highly explosive. Balto is suddenly on Team Spacer. Well, I don't know what happened. Some of the fuel just fell right into the tank of the shambelance. I mean, they don't know how much we pulled it. We can maybe save a little bit while we're at the other site. Then we end up in the Eastern Hemisphere.

[00:30:49] Or some of us. Parts of us. Yeah, parts of us. So I guess the craze on is all for this job now. Yep. I'm excited to be a part of it. Let's do this. All right. So I pass that in. Sparky as he's ratcheting the elevator up, shake hops off, whistles nonchalantly. And, you know, makes it out of the mind.

[00:31:18] So it's all you, St. Bernard. St. Bernard, would you like to go first or second? Fellas, is there any advantage to going second or first? Potentially. I mean, if we're already on the top of the scale and she pushes down. I don't know if it's resolved at exactly the same time. So if she goes up two and we go down two, we're still in the same spot or whatever. It's at the same time it moves. Okay, never mind then. It's just for like conversation flow. I don't know what you might want to say or not.

[00:31:48] Oh, let's go second. There is one thing that I can do to make sure that everyone here is happy. And that is to make sure your crew is working at 110%. Now, he's been a valuable resource here. Has worked wonders on the various designs.

[00:32:14] He even volunteered to be part of the isolation study. But we couldn't allow that. We wanted just spacers in on that. You can tell that she's lying about that, Free. And we're all very sad to see him go. But I think that Road Salt would be great to go back and work with you. He's done. We've got the blueprints to release the start of it.

[00:32:46] We'll send him over right away. In fact, he's already in transit. The gift spot, Road Salt. God damn it. Son of a bitch. Should have known. The Prodigal Sun returns. The Prodigal Sun returns. From the gift spot means we go down.

[00:33:15] It's unblockable push of two. So it's your choice on how you want to play this. We'll keep Road Salt and then a little jack to price up. There we can. It works out. Perfect. Fifth man. So fifth chair. Naturally, I assume you will pay his wages as well. Excellent. You're such a gracious employer. Yes. Yes.

[00:33:42] We'll figure out logistics afterwards and everything. I mean, after we decide to hire you. I don't mean to be rude, but that is not typically how negotiations work. I mean, yes. Yes. We will pay for both their services. Yes. Don't worry about that. I'm so glad you've agreed to the additional bounty. Are you going to be playing your tough spot at all that you have or?

[00:34:13] Oh, yeah, we did get the tough spot. That's a bounty should come in handy. In addition to hazard pay, you know, with all these dangerous chemicals flammable. Terrible to breathe in. You understand. Just a nightmare on the lungs. To mention, if you drink it, you'll go absolutely blind. So many risks. Yes. Yes. We've taken that into account. Give me a persuade check there. Thurr.

[00:34:43] Fucker. Spend the will. You want to spend a will? Yeah, I'm going to go ahead and spend a will because. Was it black one and a red for a plus three to persuasion ties go to the market? So. You stay at 100% markup and expenses. And negotiations is over. The competition is dealt with. So just give me that one last leadership check to see where you end up.

[00:35:13] At expenses or 100% markup. Did you somewhere in your great state that you're living in, Ethan, did you find these dice in a dead man's hand? Like, definitely tight. I'm just looking at horrified at the table. I should you not. Black one red 10. Any more will rate.

[00:35:41] I don't have any more will. Can he tap a reference for some will? Is that how that works? I apologize, everybody. But you're going with a 100% markup. I mean, that's not terrible. We almost got to the very edge of the chart. Don't understand what's happening. For the players and for the listeners.

[00:36:11] Brownie. I would ask you to choose one of your two characters to play. The other one will be a free reference that everyone can use once for the job. Great. Can I do that after we hear the details? Yes, yes, yes. I just wanted to clarify that since that seemed like a surprise for everybody.

[00:36:28] Apparently, a generous anonymous source has purchased fuel delivery for salt of the earth to encourage them to leave the area. There is three trucks. Two with gasoline and one with hydrogen.

[00:36:55] Being shipped to salt of the earth by long haul trucking. You are going to need to hit this caravan and steal one of the tanks, one of the trucks of gas. The bonus objective is if you get all the trucks of fuel. All right. So who has drive as well? Yo.

[00:37:25] I mean, I know you do, but like. Oh yeah. Road salt. Seems like I can see there being a need to drive to road drive on a semi. Yeah. So they will also tell you that the three trucks are. Geared for protecting the where the drivers are. So bulletproof glass, all that stuff.

[00:37:49] Plus the lead vehicle is picture like a Mad Max vehicle with like a giant plow to clear the road. Like a giant wedge to clear the road. That will be at the front vehicle. And the reputation of long haul truckers precedes them. You know that they will be hopped up on some sort of medication. Which is why I skipped a vignette because I figured you may want to plan this attack. If you want with this job.

[00:38:20] So they're on Robitussin. Okay. They'll be sleepy. Hmm. Oh, one of them will be. Your ambush point, wherever you choose it, will be one leg away. So. Wow. So I look at this two ways. And Nick, you may shoot this down, but. It's only one leg away. If we sent out, let's say Sparky.

[00:38:50] He could probably, you know, pull. One of the semis back slowly. But road salt could drive one. We don't have anybody else to drive other than me and Balto. Although we might be able to call in a reference to have a driver show up and just follow us along. I don't know if that would work for Nick or not. Yeah. If the site is. Clear. Like, you know, they're not going to be shot at when they pull up. I'll say you can also have road salt show up to drive a vehicle.

[00:39:21] Or a reference. A DHQH reference. Like, they're getting the fuel anyway. Seems like it would be a little. Mothy. Mothy. Yeah, I'm sorry. I'm not sleeper agent. Mothy. Yeah. Mothy. If there is no fighting whatsoever going on at the site, they are willing to. You can have drivers show up to drive the trucks off. Okay.

[00:39:45] But if it's like snatch and grab, like you bust through somehow bust open one of the doors, pull the drivers out and then just steer off road to get away from everyone. They're not going to like show up and be shot at. All right. So if you're, if you're fucking crazy, the idea I have is like, you know, we hide ourselves over on the ground and somehow don't get swept away with the street sweeper.

[00:40:14] And then hook to the underside of the car, the semis and pull the fuel line or cut the fuel line. Problems I see with that is that he did say that the front one has a scoop. There is four vehicles in total that they have told you about. Like they're describing the typical standard setup would be a sturdy front vehicle with like a wedge on the front and usually has some armed guards in it, like people who can shoot.

[00:40:43] Then there are three fuel trucks behind it to have gasoline. One has hydrogen. Wouldn't it be nice if we went to a truck stop that totally didn't wasn't piled up with the blight? And all from a previous little one shot. And as they stop into fuel or whatnot, maybe we could mess with their drug supply.

[00:41:08] I mean, I'm just saying like if we could start intercept them somewhere else, it doesn't have to be a shootout necessarily if we could somehow get a hold of their meth. If you describe an ambush point within reason, I will allow it to exist. That's why I said one one whatever ambush site you choose is one leg away.

[00:41:32] I will also like if it's the more complicated the ambush that you describe the I'll have a check for you to actually find a site like that. But if it's something simple like flat ground, I'll give you flat ground. So you're going to let's have the Black Hawk helicopter come in and take out the lead vehicle, right? Well, no, we're talking about having the the cargo lifting helicopter just come and lift all three of them, right? No, I'm kidding. Okay, guys, this is a GTA 5.

[00:42:00] We had to like we had to like chain all of them together so that and then have the rock hold onto two of them. While he's getting carried up into the air. So we've gone through our planning sequence. A bunch of us cracked into our bounty banks and risked stress, trauma detachment, whatever that would have been to fuel up the shambelance. Because what we've decided to do is find a long stretch of highway. And go very Mad Max Fast and the Furious on these vehicles.

[00:42:28] We've done some foresight to figure out where we can do that has plenty of lead up room, but then a choke point. So that once we disable one of the vehicles, it'll be very hard for the other ones to turn around and get away. We're also planning on in our Mad Max Fast and the Furious scene, get up nice and close and then hack the lead truck with Ubik to shut it down. So we'll be able to drive it away later on. Did I miss anything?

[00:42:56] I don't think so. All right. That's our plan. And I love it when a plan comes together, but let's see what happens. Yep. Let's get those VCRs of fuel. I think that's what they were trying to rob from trucks in Fast and Furious one. How they scaled up on their height. Oh yeah. Also how that movie has aged. When VCRs were the biggest payload.

[00:43:25] Let's say they were DVD players and make it slightly less dated. Yeah. Betamax. Which was the superior medium, dot, dot, dot. All right. You know that they will be coming in on Interstate 70. Through your research, you found a nice, straight, empty stretch of road. So you could see them coming and you could do your fun, fast and furious slash Mad Max approach.

[00:43:53] You know that there is a choke point eventually along that road where you can. Hopefully. Shut electronically shut down the lead vehicle. Which is the one with the, the wedge, the, the, the plow on it. The cattle catcher. Yeah. Cattle catcher. Yes. The thing is you just have to get there. With your. Topped off. As much as you can shamblants.

[00:44:23] And. Unless you could afford. Topped off. The full taker crew back together. Road salt cracking jokes. Sparky tinkering on his mech suit. Shake. Scanning the horizon. You guys. Oh, what a day. What a lovely day. Ready for this high stakes gambit. Balto, why do you have that silver spray all over your face?

[00:44:56] Oh, he's been chromed. Hey. Shiny and chrome. So I will require a charge of fuel for the first leg. Yep. Do we need to. So we're down to five. Do we need to roll self control rolling out on this thing? Uh, don't worry about it. I'll, I'll remember that. Okay. Nick, I'll remember this. So you're driving along. Yep. St. Bernard.

[00:45:25] You're in your passenger seat. I believe as always. As is tradition. You can give me that awareness check if you wish. A.I. Ah, the famous. Use the binoculars. Yes. Believe that is. The entire purpose. Anyway. Uh, I know it's succeed. Just take his word for it. Just go for it. I win. Awareness.

[00:45:55] Binoculars give me a plus two and I also have a plus two. So although I rolled a black five and a red seven. It's succeed. That's good. You see coming up alongside the road, a big sign that says free bounty with an arrow pointing to a building. Uh, that's bait dot gif. Mark it on the map. We can tell the location. That's a trap. Yep.

[00:46:24] Hey guys, why are we going by that free bounty? We need our entire A game for this heist. Yeah. I'm just going to keep driving. If we have time, we will come back later. Okay. If that's how you guys want to play it, that's fine. I'll allow it. You drive on through past the sign. Uh, apparently the sign was pointing to a area where there's a bar, but you just ignore it.

[00:46:54] Drive on by and keep driving to your ambush point. Now, uh, correct me if I'm wrong. Were you, were you sitting at the choke point so you could disable the lead vehicle or were you going to drive up on them and disable it at the choke point as you're driving? Uh, drive up and disable. I believe is what we said. Yeah, that's what my impression was. I mean, Sparky is already hanging off the side of the shambalance at speed. So I think that's what we're committed to. Everybody else stay on the other side.

[00:47:22] As you get to the choke point and you get the update that they're, they're getting near to you. Sparky, you get out of the back and hold on to the side, making sure everyone's got the weight distributed properly. Distributed properly. And as you're setting up there, St. Bernard, you can give me an awareness check to spot the convoy. With the binoculars? You can use the binoculars, yes.

[00:47:52] Let's do it. Damn. I just go to the market. At five, red nine plus four. I just go to the market. You can't, there, there's, they're kicking up a lot of dust. They're going really quickly. It's, it's hard to tell at first you guys. It's, it's probably fine. If there's anything, you'll see it when you get closer. I'm sure this is fine. Everything's fine. Yeah. I think it's fine too. St. Bernard. Hopefully, hopefully dust me out today. Whispering.

[00:48:22] Yeah. I mean, what a lovely day as well. Sparky's just listening to a fast paced music on his Ubix to hype himself up. Don't you remember you love the Mortal Kombat? I'm going. You're listening to, he's got Darude Sandstorm. Uh, Shake, give me an awareness check. Alright, that's uh, eleven over ten actually. Okay, yeah. Everything was clear. Ready for this ambush.

[00:48:52] Alright, so am I, uh, gonna go ahead and rob criminality or burn the charge? Like how you want to kick this off? We're gonna drive up on them first, I believe. Alright, so we'll. So as you kick it into gear, Balto, if you haven't spent your charge already to get to the ambush site, please spend it now as you uh, start accelerating and pulling up to the convoy. Alright, yep. I do so.

[00:49:21] So you're, you're shooting across on a road that comes up to the interstate. And, as you're approaching, it gets clear to you that there is the plow vehicle in front. Looks like it's just a big armored SUV with just a plow in the front. Then there is... Those pieces of armor are gonna go so well on Chamberlainz.

[00:49:47] And there's fuel truck, fuel truck, fuel truck. And then there is a fifth vehicle in the back. It looks like a, um, a, also an armored SUV. But it's got a gun mounted on the back. Some sort of machine dump. Well, you'll have that occasionally. Yep. Feel like we were denied.

[00:50:17] Need to know information. Hopefully, hopefully Dusty out today. It just looks over at you. You're not within firing range yet. There is enough time to alter your trajectory on to which vehicle you come up on if you can react quickly. So is that a driving role? Yeah, that would be a driving role. But I'm also pausing to decide what vehicle you want to come up alongside. Yeah, which one do we want to come up with?

[00:50:46] Alright, so we could say that... It's, it's obviously... Are we talking like a gun mounted in the back? There's a man there? Kind of thing like that? Yes. Giant bulky man with like... Looks like super ripped. Just like bald. Shake a jump on that vehicle. All 130 pounds of him. Ready to whip some big motherfucker's ass. I'm just referencing the guy from Madison Fury Road that had like the machine gun.

[00:51:16] Or the minigun. Nick, you didn't describe the man standing on the semi-truck playing a guitar. Like, how's he look right now? Uh, flame shooting at the back. He's got a Trilby hat on. He's DHQS Fest. Son of a bitch. We could try to... As we're shooting our way up, man, we can just go ahead and open fire on that guy. Like cap him.

[00:51:43] And hopefully that will delay them. Or... Okay, so we want to try like just basically do a drive-by on that guy. And not get shot by his machine gun... You could also use the semi-trucks as cover. Hmm. That is true. Like, they don't want to shoot a fuel truck. They won't be shooting. Yeah. Okay. So...

[00:52:10] Yeah, I can do the drive check at least. Everybody else does a firing check. Like... So which vehicles are you going to try and squeeze in between? The... Which fuel vehicles? Um, probably... Do you want to do for the second and third one? Like the middle... Like between the middle one and the... How close do you need to be to get to the, uh... The front one? That's the other issue. Narratively close? Yeah. Okay.

[00:52:40] I'd say you have to, like... Pull up in front of the first fuel truck to do it. Or be riding on the back of one of the other fuel trucks, maybe? On the top? Okay. Would you say, Nick? I was just saying that you'd have to be, like, in front of the first fuel truck to disable the front vehicle, um... Electronically. Oh, that's right. So there are three fuel trucks and the cattle catcher truck is a separate truck. Yes, yes. Okay. Yes, yes. Okay.

[00:53:09] Yeah, I would say get us up there in the front if you can, Balto. Okay, so just try and race past this gunship. This gun, this gun, uh, this backwards gunship. Just do a serpentine. You'll be fine. One side of the truck. Oh, yeah. Between them, other side of the truck. You know, I have faith in you. Hang on, Sparky! Here... As the suit clamps down a little harder. Yeah, and my shocks, like, just eat it on one side.

[00:53:38] All right, I'm rolling this drive check. Oh, God. I'll go ahead and spin that dead eye app thing right now, too. So... That's him. That is... a ten over three. You come in at the side. Uh, you meet... You come in and meet them on the interstate. Alongside one of the... The back two fuel vehicles.

[00:54:04] You swerve in between them, so the back machine gun can't get an angle on you. Uh, the fuel trucks just start laying on their horn. Uh, those of you with window seats can see the truckers, like, start breaking out their radios. And just start yelling into them. And, uh, you make your way up the line to the front lead vehicle. The shambles is strangely nimble on the road. All right, sounds like a time for that criminality check.

[00:54:34] Does that sound about right? Yep, go to town. All right, burn into charge. Ruined to die. And, thank God I've got good numbers. So I am twelve over nine on the criminality check. So I have, uh, I have haxed all their base. You turn off their engine. You see them slow down. And you see the...

[00:55:02] That swerve off to the side a bit quickly. And you see, like, their emergency flashing lights just blink for a second before the vehicle just, like, completely just shuts down. And they just, like, swerve off. So it's just the fuel truck, the fuel truck, the fuel truck, and the SV with the machine gun now in the convoy with you guys at the front. Okay. And that... Did that or did that not block the trucks behind from continuing to go forward?

[00:55:31] Because we should be at our choke point now. So actually, are you doing anything with the shambulance to help block? Because I did say they were trying to, like, pull off the side a bit. Yeah, I tried, uh, I guess should I, should I, I guess I should probably, like, get my car, get the shambulance, like, in place. Um, like, try and fill in the gap that's being, that, that didn't, uh, that the, uh, the other truck didn't fill. Yeah. Okay. That was the point of the choke point.

[00:56:00] Yeah, no, no, no, I get it, I get it. I just wanted to know your positioning. So, when, when the vehicle attempts to move to the side, you're at the choke point, there's not enough room, you sort of move slightly to the other side to, to finish shoring up the, the choke point. And you just hear the screeching of, of brakes as the, the fuel vehicles behind you attempt to, uh, stop in time. I just, like, close my eyes and clench my teeth.

[00:56:29] Because you need everyone to give me a self-control check. I close my eyes. Five over three, success. I'm famously good at self-control checks. Success. I have faith in mushambulance, I got a ten over six. I'm just sitting here, every move you make, I'm like, well, that costs four bounty. That costs four bounty. Self-control, success. Four over three. Did anyone fail? No.

[00:56:57] You guys are fine, you've dealt with worse. Maybe. The front vehicle sort of turns to the side a bit and screeches coming to a stop, slamming a bit into the lead vehicle that pulled off the side. The second fuel truck behind it breaks in time, followed by the third. So everything's now stopped. I'm going to ask initiative them. I will put mine, it is, um, 13.

[00:57:27] At our speed. Yep. Uh, speed plus. I just happened to roll a ten and have a speed of three. Yeah, I got an eight. This was the plan, by the way, right? Our next ticker group will be called the descendants because we're all descendants. Yeah, we'll have a latent, uh, a latent, um, uh, a mother, uh, a widow. We had to play D squad for real.

[00:57:54] It's a good thing we play tested that to pick the spot, right? Yeah. Oh, that was so fun. That was nuts. I'd say it's his sister-in-law comes out. Sparky comes out of the, or not Sparky. Yeah. Sparky comes out of the desert back to, back to the enclave for the only source, the sole survivor. Like the, the, the, the power suit is like basically dead, like all but gone. And like, like are in shreds.

[00:58:22] It's like, I need to, I need to recruit you guys for the new ticker crew. But first I need to repair Bessie. Sparky. You can go first. He's a player bar. Uh, so you said V is the front vehicle? Yes.

[00:58:39] You see that all the drivers in their various trucks are sort of like checking themselves initially before combat starts to make sure that they're not dead from sudden impact. Uh, okay. Uh, well, I would love to, um, leap upon the lead truck, uh, considering the, um, the gun vehicle has not made its way over here yet.

[00:59:05] And see if I can, uh, exosuit my arm through the, uh, the windshield and grab slash squash somebody like a driver. Rip the roof off the cap. Give me a melee, melee exosuit. Calima, whatever you want to call it. Just, you know, leap up and stick an arm through a side window or something and grab somebody with that, uh, with that wonderful nine over four. Exosuit roll. Uh, so you leap onto the lead vehicle.

[00:59:36] Imagine being up on the hood and then reaching an arm around trying to go through the driver's door. Okay. Yeah. You go for the driver and you hit them. You pull them through, uh, since you weren't, or you were just like ripping them out. I won't say that's like a melee punch, but I'll still roll for some damage or actually roll, roll single die. We'll see how much damage that is to just all their body parts as you just rip them through a broken glass window with the mechanical. Veblen goods.

[01:00:08] That's an eight on the die. You like shred this person. One, you just like crush them in your grip and you just hear like a little, the, whatever little air they had left in their lungs just come out. And as you just rip them through the window, you just, they're just cut up. I'm not going to get too into the description. They conform to the shape of the hole in the window. Yes. Agreed. Oh my God.

[01:00:38] Was there two, was there two people in that car or just the one? I removed them from the queue. Don't worry. If there were two, that one just rolled a self control check. Yeah. That one just said, Oh, that one was wearing brown pants. So shake. You can go now. All right. Shake. Hmm. You're in the back of the shamblings. Oh my God. I'm almost tempted to crawl underneath the car that locked up and just go ahead and fuel the port of the vehicle. Cut the fuel line and then light it.

[01:01:10] But I mean, all of those. Not, not the fuel, not the fuel cars. No, not the fuel car. I mean the lead car just to take him out of a picture. But I think that maybe I should try to sneak around a position to get to drop on machine gunner vehicle. If that, so stealth to find a good hiding spot and progress forward to machine gunner. Yes. Give me a stealth check.

[01:01:38] No, that's a three over seven. You kick open the back of the shamblings. You get out. You drop down to the side of the road. And that's when you remembered that you guys specifically looked for a big wide flat open plane to ambush them on. And you don't really see anywhere to run and hide at the moment. So next would be St. Bernard. You're in the passenger seat of the shamblings. I'm having a little trouble visualizing it. Where are we moving or?

[01:02:07] Everything is stopped. No, we've stopped. Yeah. Okay. And is there any opposition? No one. You guys have got the drop on them so far. No one else has exited their vehicles to shoot at you or anything like that. You guys were like flying at high speed. So the past few moments have just been people hitting the brakes and praying to survive. Okay. Yeah.

[01:02:33] I would definitely like to, uh, I'd like to try and take out one of the drivers. There's the bloody pulp of the lead vehicle. And then there is the driver of the first fuel truck. I don't have a melee weapon. Is. You don't need that. You don't necessarily need a melee weapon at the moment or what were you thinking of doing? Well, shooting him.

[01:02:59] But like, I would really not want to hit a fuel truck. That is true. Also, I think the, that we knew. Raffle could be butt stroke. We did know that the. Yeah. But I was gonna say, we did know that the windshields of those things are a bulletproof. Yeah. Oh, that's true. Yeah. Yeah. And, and they haven't gotten out of their cab yet. No, they haven't. So do you want to like run up and, and jump, uh, and hold on to like the driver's side door of the fuel truck for the, your turn? St. Bernard?

[01:03:30] I try and get in the cab. The open door, get in there and try and shoot him or. So you, you, you get out, you run over to the fuel truck and you try the door and it's locked. The two people inside are like nervous. They were thinking of coming out, but when they saw you jump on, uh, they stop reaching for the door handle. Yeah. Yeah. Like that. Thank you. But, um, yeah, you, you, you can't get in at the moment. The doors are locked.

[01:03:59] Um, you can try and get in next turn. Okay. Balto, what did you want to do with your shambulance? Um, I'm probably, so yeah, I'm going to keep the, I guess I'll, I'll turn it off. Um, so that it can't be moved like easily. And then I guess I'll hop out and should I, uh, like I was thinking of either like taking

[01:04:27] cover and getting ready for like what is obviously going to be a gunfight or like just running up to the opposite door of the, the, of the, the front of the, the first shambulance of the first fuel truck that, um, that, uh, St. Bernard is not going to be at. And basically just like, so we have them on both sides with guns. You can do that. I think I might do that. Yeah. I'm going to do that. So I, uh, basically, but it's like St. Bernard and Balto both like run up to either

[01:04:55] side of this thing and just kind of like take it, take them. Okay. So you've both jumped on both sides of the doors trying to get in. That's when the back vehicle sort of pulls around and off the side of the road a bit to get a better angle on the, uh, front of this convoy. So it's basically to the right of the backfield truck. Now, if you're looking at the picture so it can get an angle on the shambulance, the passenger

[01:05:25] of the back vehicle is going to jump out and leave their door open as sort of some semi cover. We got semi cover too, though. It being semis. Wah wah. That that's Adam. That's, that's a, uh, that's a, uh, a road salt. It's contagious. No, it's spreading.

[01:05:50] V2, the passenger of the lead vehicle is going to try and reach over and shoot through the hole that you made sparky and try and shoot you through the hole. So you can give me athletics check to dodge. That is an eight over seven. You see, you see it coming, especially since the glass is bullet resistant. So they had to like get a good angle through the hole that you made.

[01:06:19] So you got out of the way quickly. And the person who is in the back of the front vehicle is going to jump out the back. Um, and that's when the machine gun wears to rot life and starts firing on the shambulance. No, give me a self control check there, Balto. Oh God. Just a thing.

[01:06:44] That is going to be, I think it's probably going to the, uh, to the, uh, the market. Uh, yeah, that's four, four unnatural four, four bullets. Start tearing into the back. It saw people, some people jump out. It doesn't know how many people are in there. It just opens up on the, the one target that is not attached to explosives or its allies. Just opens into the back. Shake.

[01:07:14] You, you, you said that you, you got away from it trying to sneak around. So you don't have to worry. Okay. That is a three to detachment there, Balto. So as you see holes, the bullets pass through the size of, you don't have the armored upgrade, right? Yeah. You see bullets go through the sides of the, the shambulance. Road salt was in there, right? Or did you have them waiting on the side?

[01:07:40] No, road, road salt was, was sir, not appearing in this Mad Max scene, uh, providing support from afar. Yes. I just wanted to confirm that. I believe that's what you said. So I just wanted to make sure. Yeah. Only one person needs to suffer. So that's a three to detachment there, uh, Balto. My baby. So back to you, Sparky. All right. So like you said, I'm on the front of that front, front truck there.

[01:08:09] Um, do you think with my movement this round, I can run up to be within, uh, exosuit melee with the gun truck? Uh, unless you want to do like a charge attack. Do you remember that maneuver? I do not. So you make athletics check to charge the vehicle on a success. You could then immediately make a melee.

[01:08:32] If you fail the athletics check, you can follow through, but also get shot at and still make your attack. Or you can choose to turn away from the charge and not. So it's, you either make the charge and hit them or you fail the charge and attack at a cost, or you can turn away and not get hit. Uh, charging this, uh, as fast as my metal legs can carry me. Okay. Make that athletics check.

[01:09:01] That's a nine over one. Okay. You could follow through with that melee. And to be clear, the melee that I want to make is the suit mounted war hammer against the gentleman on the gun. Sure. So rolling that again, that's a, uh, seven over three. Uh, the war hammer has a plus one to kill damage by the way. Okay. So roll location and damage. If you roll a leg location, I'll take it as an arm location.

[01:09:31] Uh, instead. Natural black was nine. Red was eight, uh, plus one kill and it's kill and stun damage. Okay. Uh, yeah. Uh, you hear a sickening crack, um, as your war hammer collides with the chest of the person. Uh, you don't know if you've killed them or just knocked them out, but they just, they flip over the back of the truck with your follow through and are just face down in the dirt behind the vehicle. Uh, he needs an ambulance.

[01:10:02] He needs an ambulance. It's a shame he shot through one. And I am marking charges off the exosuit as I do these things. Shake. You sort of walked around the side of the shamblings a bit. You see your two companions in the truck. You heard doors opening from the lead vehicle, but you, it was kind of hard to see. Um, cause the, the shamblings that the other vehicle are in the way, but you did see the passenger jump out the side of the gun truck and you could fire at them if you wanted.

[01:10:31] Um, you know what? Uh, yeah, I'm out in the open too, I guess. Well, fuck it. Yeah, I'm good. Yeah. Shoot. So I'm going to burn a charge off the handgun and, uh, let's see. I gotta look and see what my shoot is. Oh, so we'll see how this works. Okay. Okay.

[01:10:56] I'm glad that I had a plus five with everything said and done because that is an 11 over 10. Okay. Roll damage and location. All right. Which is which black or red? I'm just black is damaged. Red is location. That looks like it is six to nine. You send a couple of bullets into the person's chest.

[01:11:23] St. Bernard, you're hanging on the driver's side of the front fuel check. Uh, you saw a person jump out the back of the lead vehicle, which you can shoot at, or you can try and convince the driver of the fuel truck to open up for you. Or you could try like a criminality check to finagle open the door. Uh, I'm going to shoot at that guy that got out of the back of the car.

[01:11:50] Then to charge on my old Ubix specs. And, uh, they give me a plus one. But you're a fenceman. So you get like a plus two anyway. That's when it's just against casualties. Ubix specs provide plus two to shoot. Oh, no offense. It matters too much because those are, uh, full twos.

[01:12:20] Would it crit success then? I believe it would. Yes, if it's natural twos, crit success. So roll location and damage. The damage will be doubled. Uh, the black is a one. So, uh, six on the red. Fuck your feet. Fuck your foot. Or leg. You're about to skip leg day. Permanently.

[01:12:51] So Balto, you're hanging on to the side. I just watched my baby just get perforated. Yeah, you watch your baby get perforated. You on the other side of the truck. You see St. Bernard like lean back, hanging on just fire at someone. Uh, you hear gunfire behind you. What would you like to do? Hey, was he armored? Uh, he was not armored. I have hollow points. Oh, plus plus one damage. Oh, shit.

[01:13:22] Okay, so we'll say that's four damage then. Damn. And did, uh, I get, did I see, um, did I see Sparky just like deck the guy who hurt my baby? You didn't necessarily see it because you were focusing on your baby, but you heard, uh, when the bullet stopped, you looked over and you, you heard the large thunk and the bullet stopped.

[01:13:44] You looked over and there was Sparky standing by the back of the truck with the sledgehammer, like a full follow through. Gotcha. I guess I, uh, and yeah, so I'm at the, I'm on this, uh, passenger side of the, then there's a guy in the, in the, like on the other side, right? Yeah, you're on the passenger side. There's two people in the, the, the truck. Yeah. Uh, I, I basically, I guess, like look kind of manic.

[01:14:15] Um, to the guy in the window and it's like, open the goddamn door. Give me intimidation. I don't have intimidation. You could default on it. Can I default? Yes. Okay. So just remind me what default defaulting is just like your one die and then roll under your potential. So if you had a one in charisma, you'd have to roll one to succeed. Okay. I got to roll one. All right, let's see. Let's try this.

[01:14:47] Yeah. I got an eight. It's like, open up the door. The guy's like reaching into his glove box or something like looks over to you as you cry that out and says, like, fuck you. And just goes back to rummaging through the, uh, the glove box. He's just looking for his proof of insurance. Yeah. Uh, and the windows are fucking bulletproof, right? Um, would they, okay. I don't know, I don't know bulletproof glass very well.

[01:15:17] If I point blank, I assume that's just going to hurt my gun and my arm probably in the process. Probably hurt. I mean, it's, it's nothing's like it won't go through proof. Nothing's ever proof. It's just always resistance. So given enough time and enough rounds, you could possibly break it. But, but I mean, the windows are bullet resistant, but are the doors like, did they think to actually armor the doors as well? The easiest way to get through a lock doors to go through the drywall next to it.

[01:15:47] That's that's true. Yeah. Is it armored? Is the door? Is the door? Doesn't look like it from the outside, but maybe it is on the inside. Okay. Um, if, if, if I can for this round, then I guess, yeah, I'll just like quickly, I'll swing up, I'll swing away like, like, like just a bit and then just start and shoot into the, uh, into the, into the cab through the door. Okay. And try my luck there. Probably not insulated the roof of the car of the cab.

[01:16:18] We'll get to that next time. If there is a next step. Roll me a D10 there, uh, Balto. Okay. Uh, that's fine. You line up the shot and fire a couple rounds through and, um, the person who's in the passenger side seat, uh, cries out in pain and you see them clutch their side. Uh, apparently they didn't armor the doors. Wheat! Uh, yeah, so that's, that's basically well, I guess that's my turn.

[01:16:44] The driver of the gun vehicle, uh, is going to hit the gas and try and run over Shake. Oh no. Don't fail me now. My feet don't tell me now. So I guess that's just me burning my Twitch to get out of the way. Yep. I also believe that I should be burning athletics. I can burn multiple charges of, uh, rations to get out of the way. I assume. So I'm, yeah, that's what you want to do.

[01:17:14] I guess I probably should have also yelled over to St. Bernard. The doors aren't armored. I'm gonna go ahead and spin that wheel. So I rode a, with the modification, a three under nine. So I want to go ahead and burn my wheel so I don't get ran over by car. So I am wheelless. And my daughter has just walked away with my dice. Bring them back. There's a crew.

[01:17:43] Would you like me to roll for you? No, I'm good. No, but I'll jump out of the way of the vehicle. G2, who's covered, who's covered, just left them. Uh, and they're standing essentially next to a giant mech suit is going to open up on, uh, Sparky, but Sparky, since you did the full charge, uh, you cannot dodge. Uh, that is just three damage to location three, which I'm pretty sure is armored anyway. It's your leg.

[01:18:11] It is, but it is armored on the, uh, mech suit. Mech suit. Okay. Uh, so that's three damage to location three. Fiddlesticks. Ow. I'll do, I'll do like the armor thing says and spend a charge off the, uh, mech suit and turn those just into stun. V2 is going to take their time getting out of the vehicle because they stayed in the vehicle and shot out last time. And V3 is going to try and fire on you St. Bernard since you fired on them.

[01:18:41] Uh, you may dodge if you wish. I would. Very much like, wait, I can dodge a bullet. Mm-hmm. You got twitch. I'm very fast. Dodge your bullet, you can dodge a ball. What would I roll for? Athletics. Dodge. You can spend rations to give you a plus one per ration spent if you want to try that. I have to do that before or after I roll? Before.

[01:19:09] I will burn a ration. Success. You see the person go line up a shot and you just swing off to the side. The bullets missing. Pinging off the side of the cab. And G3 is, I got to remove them. They're unconscious. Unconscious finger quotes. Got it. He's sleeping. They're sleep bullets.

[01:19:40] I thought you said he's resleeving. I'm like, well, that's probably more apt. It was a sleep hammer strike, yeah. At this point, you guys can all hear the third fuel truck, the back one, start to slowly back itself up. And we move to Sparky again at the top of the turn order. Uh, well, I have that gentleman that's right near me that just shot me in the leg. Or shot my exosuit in the leg, right? Yes.

[01:20:09] Usually you'd think it'd be a good idea to take care of him, but instead I think I'm going to charge off towards that back truck so he doesn't get away. Okay. With the intent of war hammering through a side window. God. Okay. I'm going to say you don't need to make a charge attack because it is very, it's a big truck. It's backing up. Uh, so you don't have to do like a full charge attack, but yeah.

[01:20:36] You run at it and go to hit it with the war hammer. So make a melee attack. Uh, 10 over two. Okay. I'm sorry. Were you, were you aiming at like the driver or just like the truck itself? Uh, I was trying to hit through the window into the driver. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Roll me, roll me down. And location or just damage. Uh, damage and location.

[01:21:05] If it's a leg location, I'll move it up to an arm. Uh, that is a black six red six. Uh, remember that the war hammer is kill and stun and it's plus one kill. Yep. They sort of get pressed back into the seat a bit and the arm dangles uselessly at the person's side as you remove the hammer from the window to get a better look at the damage you caused.

[01:21:35] Good luck shifting. Shake. What are you doing? The, the truck you dodged is nearby. And when it, when it passed by you, it, it, it, it started to turn slightly and break. Well, you know, what's behind, you know, what's, ah, God. There's also the person who just white out in the open like you are. Well, yeah. I mean, there is that. So I don't want to have to deal with two people at once.

[01:22:04] So I'm just going to finish the job on him that I started. Okay. Okay. So that is a 14 over seven to hit. Roll location and damage. You say black was location or damage. I'm sorry. Damage red is location. Eight to location for you fire at the person. It starts at their arm and, and location for me, the leg, I guess. All right.

[01:22:33] It goes in the leg and you, you, it goes up back up to their chest and they just collapse into a heap in the road and on the side of the road, they're gun clattering to the ground. Okay. I'll wait for that little bit of reverse action. I'm going to get here in a minute. So St. Bernard, your go.

[01:22:53] There are now two people out of the lead vehicle who you could fire at, or you could try and convince the driver, the fuel truck driver to let you in or some other action you may think of. Well, at the moment, it was two nuts in the car. I don't know if they're going anywhere. Is, is anybody trying to do anything about the one backing up? Yes. I just, I just smashed the driver's arm. Okay. That was the guy you smashed. Okay.

[01:23:24] I want our baby rolling off. Yeah. His arm in particular. The guy who's, who's kneecap. I just blew out with a hollow point. Um, I'm going to shoot him again. Finish the job. Sounds good. I'll spend another charge on the old Ubix. Uh, you just have to spend one for the scene to activate dead. Oh really? Oh, beautiful. It's one per app per scene.

[01:23:54] Uh, if you were doing multiple calls, that's where it'd be multiple charges. Even without any bonuses, that's a black 10 and a red seven. So. Okay. Roll location and damage. Oh. Oh. You care to share with the class. It's just like 10 damage location. 10. Just go ahead and go ahead and pull up the chart. Oh, consult this.

[01:24:23] Let's look at the footage here. Got me here. Uh, the black is the damage. Yes. Yes. Uh, it's gonna be 10 damage to the chest. Yeah, they. I'm sorry. 11 damage. Hollow points. Yep. They're, uh, no longer a problem. I removed them from the, uh, the queue. If you noticed. Um. Jesus. Balto. Uh.

[01:24:53] How's the guy doing, uh, in the passenger seat? Crying out in pain, cursing your name. Uh, you can see V2 who jumped out the passenger side of the lead vehicle. You could shoot at them if that's what you wish to do. The person in the passenger seat's crying. He's got. He's got blood coming from his side. Yeah. He's not going anywhere right now. I hop off and, and, and aim for the, uh, the guy that, like, uh, from V2. Okay.

[01:25:23] Burn my two charges. Cause I, my gun is hungry. Oh, thank. Oh, I would like to spend a will. Yeah, go for it. Uh, cause I got an eight, eight under nine, or I guess it'd be a nine, nine on like unnatural. So yeah, I'm going to spend, um, to turn that failure into a, into a success. Roll location damage. So seven location.

[01:25:52] And do I, I roll for the damage as well. And five damage. Okay. So five damage to the, to the chest. Guys are shooting center mass today. Or at least a lot. Well, this is not like legs repeatedly. For those of you listening home, we're doing kind of rules. So we, you row for attack and then you row for, uh, damage instead of making it one row because mathematically you're more prone to shoot somebody in the leg. Yeah.

[01:26:23] It's random damage. I forget what page of the book it is, but it's a suggested alternate rule, which I find makes damage at least a little bit more interesting than everyone in crutches. Yeah. Just like constantly capping people. Oh, Hey, score idea. Leg braces. Oh my God. Yes.

[01:26:46] The guy who was driving the machine gun vehicle is going to roll down their window and try and fire at you from it. Shake. Shake. Oh, I was. All right. All right. All right. So I guess I need to dodge out of the way. You don't have to, you can just take it. Oh no, no. I was seven over two. Yeah. I'm going to dance it out of the way.

[01:27:17] V2 is going to fire at you, Balto. I would like to try and get out of the way. I can't remember. What is that for getting out of the way? Athletics. Athletics or something or? I have one in that. Oh, that's a five under six. Do you want to dodge at all or? I mean, I mean, use a will, use a will. Or did you use a player? I can't. Oh, let's see.

[01:27:45] Let's see location damage for Balto there. Oh, I can't. Five one. No, five six. What you say? That's 10 damage to location two. Oh, oh. F yo legs. Yo legs. Apparently you are going to need those. Killing damage, right? Yeah, killing damage. Shot you in the leg. Really bleeding out.

[01:28:13] This seems very reminiscent of a previous game I've run with you. Right. Yeah. Oh, I just dropped. You like dropped to one knee and that's when you take six damage to location four. As you hear coming from the top of the cab. Fuck you, you asshole. And a shotgun blast bites into your, uh, your other leg. Oh God. As the guy who's, you said, oh, he's trapped there.

[01:28:43] Rolled down the window. Took the gun he was looking for and shot you. Son of a bitch. Oh. The mistakes were made. I used to be a paramedic. Then I took some gunshots to the legs. Uh. Sparky, uh, the vehicle's still going in reverse. The guy, uh, seems to still have his foot on the pedal.

[01:29:09] But they're not really trying to steer at the moment. They, they seem to have other matters to tend to. Is there also a passenger in the vehicle? There is a passenger and they seem to be ducking below the, uh, the dash and reaching for something on the ground. Have you ever put a butter knife down in an almost empty peanut butter jar and kind of rattled it around to get the rest of the peanut butter out? The visuals.

[01:29:41] So. That, that, that earnest gift right there. That with the cab of this truck with the hole that I already made through the window, please. What kind of a role would you like for that? That'd be melee. Okay. I just rolled a black 10, red 1. Okay. I'm going to take this like explosive damage since you're hitting multiple targets. You just roll the die in the location and both targets get that damage to that location.

[01:30:08] Uh, it was a 2, 3, but remember, uh, plus one kill and kill and stun for the Warhammer. I'll say that transfers up to the arm, like I said. So you clip the guy who's ducking. He doesn't like it, but, uh, you get the, the back end of the Warhammer and you swing it across and it just goes into the person's arm and just into their side. And, uh, they just like go slump in their seat.

[01:30:36] And you at least hear the, the engine shut down or whatever. So it's just whatever momentum was in the vehicle is what's left in backing it up as it's, it's starting to decelerate. Shake. Whoo. All right. So somebody was shot my boy with a shotgun, right? Yeah. There is the person in the machine gun vehicle shooting at you from a window.

[01:31:03] Uh, and then there is the passenger of the first fuel truck who has a shotgun who shot your boy Balto. I'm more worried about the guy shooting at me. No offense, uh, Balto. It's fine. So I have a little bit better shot at him. So let's try this again. All right. So that is nine over three. No, excuse me. That'd be 14 over three. And. All right.

[01:31:30] So that would be red location, six damage, right? I mean, red location, black damage. Yes. All right. Let's go to, let's go to the chart. It's nine. I mean, that's six to nine. So I have six in a chest. You hit him in the chest. Does not like it. Do you want to go full offense there, shake? No. Thank you.

[01:31:57] But, uh, I, I, I like to dance. St. Bernard, you're hanging on. Uh, you heard a shotgun blast come from inside the cab firing out. Um, since you're not hit, it's probably the passenger side. Um, you heard cries of pain from Balto as. The last remaining person you could see also fired upon Balto. What would you like to do? I would like to shoot through the door. Sure. It's not good.

[01:32:27] Pretty low. That's. And with, even with like plus four. It's a fail. You, you try to line up the shot quickly. And you fire through the door and the bullets just rattle around the cab. They don't hit either of the people. Uh, the driver sort of has like a look of amazement to their face. As they were completely shocked by the bullets flying through the door around them. Did you want to go full offense, St. Bernard? Uh, what does that mean?

[01:32:58] Means instead of having your twitch to, um, to dodge, you can make another action. Uh, I think I will. Okay. I'll try and shoot this guy again. Ah, damn it. Nine under 10. So St. Bernard misses. Uh, Sparky, what did you want to do as your second action? I just really want that peanut butter.

[01:33:27] Come on, you monster. Okay, you can swing at the passenger if that's what you want. Make a melee attack. Yep, that's a, uh, five over four. Glad that I have some stuff here. Make, make that damage roll. Eight to the eight remembering kill and stun and plus one kill. Yep. You adjust as the passenger goes to bring up their own shotgun. They've just lift their head in time to see the war hammer coming down at them. With a sickening crunch. They're no longer in the picture.

[01:33:58] Balto. Roll me one D time. Yo. Oh, good. Uh, four. Your chest takes four killing damage from bleed out. Oh shit. Oh no. You were using that chest. I was. But you can act. I can act? Okay. Uh, I, I turned and shoot at that asshole with the shotgun. Yeah. Fuck that guy.

[01:34:26] You shot me in the leg, you bitch. Oh, that is a 11 over four. Okay. Roll some damage. I will. Uh, that's seven. Yep. He's dead. Okay. Yeah. Eye for an eye, motherfucker. You know, with your leg full of kill damage, uh, you're bleeding out. No athletics checks are possible until partially healed and you cannot move without assistance. Okay. Uh, so do you have a first aid kit? Can I try? Or I guess I can't try it right now.

[01:34:56] Would you like to go full offense? You could, you could try with that. Yeah. I'll try full offense and try to heal myself. Well, um, oh, you can hear yourself. That's right. Yeah. Um, sure. Yeah. I forgot. I remember how this is. Uh, just spend charges to make first aid check on. So just, so. And to charge and roll first aid, you could spend additional charges to give a plus one

[01:35:24] to your role, um, for each charge, uh, for each additional charge you spend. Uh, I'm going to burn three just. Okay. So one to use and then two for the plus two to whatever your skill is. Yeah. So let's see. So that'll be. And that is going to be a nine over three. Okay. What's the natural black? Uh, the natural black is five.

[01:35:48] You could turn five of those charges into a stun. Okay. Or you could do four of those charges into stun and then one of those stun into gone if you want. Yeah. I'll do that. Yeah. So, so before I'd be back, I'd be six killing and then three stun. Yes. Yes. Okay. Math.

[01:36:16] So the guy who's in the vehicle is going to try and shoot at you there. Shake. All right. All right. So I'm gonna go ahead and burn. You know what? I've got all these rations and stuff. Let's see. And I also have that built into my character. So let me do a little bit of math real quick. All right. I am going to get a plus three on this and burn these rations down.

[01:36:45] And I didn't necessarily need to do it to six over nine. I'm excuse me. I misspoke. That is nine over four. I didn't do the math right when I was at spelling that out. So I do dodge. V2 is going to fire at you. St. Bernard. Since you went full offense, you cannot dodge. That is three damage to location eight.

[01:37:13] That's a nice chest you had there. Is that like the third time I've just did the tiniest damage to your chest? Is that kill or a stun? Kill damage kill. Yeah. I would think so. For you choose for the pilot rifle. Ow! Sparky, what do you want to do? Awareness. Have we attracted any unwanted attention from maybe some people that don't breathe? Good question.

[01:37:43] Give me that awareness check. I was waiting for someone to remember that. 10, 10. 10, 10. Natural? Yes. Yeah, there are eight casualties, five shambles away. I think that my cohorts have the rest of this handled. I think I'm going to prepare for them coming closer. I don't want to use my shotgun because I'll just draw more, but you know, develop a defensive stance.

[01:38:11] Maybe make noise and kite them a little bit further away from my friends. Sure. Give me a social skill to see how effective you are at yelling at them and attracting their attention. I'm in a big damn exosuit. I can make some noise. But let's just say persuasion, I guess. Yeah, I'll give you a plus one for being an exosuit. Well, that was an eight over one natural. So I don't think I needed the plus, but.

[01:38:40] You jump up and down and make noise or however you wanted to do it and shout at them like, hey, I'm tastier. What Garth Brooks song do you play through your speakers? Never any Garth Brooks song. Good, good, good answer. So the casualties will be walking towards you first out of anyone there.

[01:39:02] And I'm just kind of trying to skirt the road, you know, back kind of towards the front of where we engage, but also not directly towards my friends just to give us some more time to finish our other business and then finish this business. Shake, what'd you want to do? I'm going to shoot the guy in a car. So that is a six, six without modification. Okay, so roll damage locations, double the damage.

[01:39:28] All right, so hit location two, which would be a lag, I guess. And that would be four. So it'd be eight damage, I guess, if you're multiplying it by two. The person slumps down in their vehicle. It appears you've shot them dead. Okay. Is combat over? Is there somebody left? There's still one person left. St. Bernard! You know what? Can I go ahead and try to save everybody?

[01:39:56] Or do y'all want me to go ahead and do a double action to save you St. Bernard? Or do you want to go for it? Well, I'm not the one. I don't think I've taken enough. Okay. Compared to one. Full offense. Balto has like... I'm good. Say that, but... It's okay, I got a tourniquet on the leg, it's fine.

[01:40:27] Yeah, go ahead, man, I'm sorry. Yeah, you say that, Balto, but... Who is still alive? I think it's your driver. There's just the one person you've been firing at and has been firing at you and Balto. Oh, returning fire. There's the one passenger who was there, who's firing. There's the driver of the fuel truck that you could convince. Sorry. Didn't I cap the passenger? The driver.

[01:40:57] There's still the driver of the fuel truck. It seems to be having a bad trip at the moment. But yeah, you could fire at the passenger of the lead vehicle if you want. We'll do that. Goddamn! This red eye rolls eights and tens like nonstop. Jesus. You should just get like a little paint kit and paint it black, and then paint your black one red.

[01:41:24] You could switch to a dice roller if you wanted a different kind of blood. If you also would like to burn your twitch if you wanted to double down on that, but I don't know if you want to. I'm thinking I will. Oh. Haha. Yeah, there we go. Success. Okay. Alright. Oh. That's uh... Nine damage to location four.

[01:41:56] Finish them off. You put a couple rounds into them, and they fall forward. Not moving anymore. Uh, the driver of the truck's freaking out. We're out of combat effectively at this point. Other than the casualties. Could somebody with quiet ranged guns do a cleanup over here? Yeah, I can pretty much do that if you want. Do I need to roll to, uh, summarily execute all the casualties coming in? If you guys just mark off the necessary charges.

[01:42:26] There should be just eight charges between you guys. I also have a silenced pistol, so... Same. So... Yeah, how many were there again? Five? Eight. I can shoot two. I'll burn through mine, so I'll take six out with, uh, if anybody wants to pick up the remaining two. Yeah, I'll burn through and kill and shoot the last two. I think I'll go ahead and use that refresh. Alright.

[01:42:58] So... Hmm. What are we gonna do with, uh, the man in the... That's alive? You guys also see there's the passenger and the driver of the second fuel truck who are just on a radio, just talking constantly. You didn't tell us those were left. Well, they weren't going anywhere. Uh, but yeah, they're also alive, yeah. So there's the driver of the first truck, and then there's both driver and passenger of the second fuel truck. That are left. They are non-combatants that...

[01:43:28] They are not shooting at you, they are just staying inside their... They're locked up little armored cabs. Oh, hear me out. Whatever the stage two is. I'm already crumbled, so... Well, uh, I can knock-knock and ask them politely to get out, but I'm thinking they're probably calling extra help in. Yeah, we might as well.

[01:43:51] Let's, uh, let's get them out and get, uh, get our drivers in to move these along before anybody else shows up. Mm-hmm. That sounds like a plan. So, um, Nick, bloody battle axe tapping gently on the side window, making the roll it down with my other hand motion. They crack it the littlest amount.

[01:44:18] You're free to go if you're just gonna go. Otherwise, I got a can opener. Uh... You promise? You're not gonna kill us? Leave your weapons and just get out of here. But... Can't we take one to defend ourselves? Nothing you can shoot back at us with, you can take melee. Um... Criminality to search them when they get out of the vehicle. Okay.

[01:44:47] Uh, yeah, they get out. They have one giant wrench between the three of them. Um... And you're just having them walk off after patting them down for everything. Who are you calling? We were just seeing if there was anyone out there on the radio who could help us. Well... See what? You know what? These guys, maybe we should, for a little bit of info, maybe we should offer them one of the guns on the ground here.

[01:45:16] I mean, if they're stupid enough to open fire on us, then, you know... But if we can get a little info out of them by giving them a little bit of, uh, leverage to defend themselves with. Well, I got a different proposition you might go for. Okay. Uh, get them to, uh, drive the remaining trucks with one of us in the passenger seat with a weapon held on them, just to get out of here quicker. They're obviously truckers, they obviously know how to drive.

[01:45:44] Free ride back to a safe place. That sounds good, like, cause we have to wait, we'd have to wait otherwise for drivers. And they already called it in, so one call from them to cancel any help, they called and said, no, we're fine. Everything's fine down here. Uh, and then, um, the three of them to, one of each to drive one of the fuel trucks and one of us to cover them from the passenger seat with a weapon. Mm-hmm. Get out sooner. I'll just take the shambelance. Mm-hmm.

[01:46:13] What do y'all think? I'm good. Balto? I mean, Balto, too, you spoke. Uh, thank Bernard. I'm stunned and wonder why we should even come around in the first place. To drive the trucks to get us out of here before their reinforcements show up. That's what I'm thinking. Is that all in agreement? Puts the silence pistol back away. We may need an intimidation to get them to agree to that, uh, that deal.

[01:46:44] Puts the silence pistol back out. Kind of, uh, what kind of row are we looking at here? Market? I mean, it depends on your approach. It would either be persuasion or intimidation. Probably more of intimidation at this point, to be honest. Mm, I don't even think I have anything in intimidation. I don't have intimidation, but I do have some chunky peanut butter. Say for dark?

[01:47:13] I've definitely got, uh, only got some intimidation. Roll that intimidation. So I'll have, uh, Sparky raise me up with the, um, like with his exosuit. So then I'm like up there in the window. I'll mark off a charge. I can see the blood soaking through the shirt from the, from the chest wound.

[01:47:43] Pistol in his hand. Gentlemen, I think it's high time you go to cooperate. I'm really not in the mood. I'll give you a plus one for the entire fight scene in that display. Oh, success. Yeah, yeah, we'll, uh, uh, yeah, we'll drive him back. That's, that's fine. Yeah. Yeah. That's what I thought you'd say. If you have the intention of trying to betray us,

[01:48:15] this mechanical suit here can crush a man's head like a grape. So let's keep that in mind. Can we. I've been the gas out of one of the vehicles, if not the semis and put it into the shamblings. Yeah. I think we were, I wouldn't mind stripping that, those cars for parts and stuff as well. Maybe that mini gun. Oh, is that guy dead? That guy died, right?

[01:48:45] Yeah, he died. If you guys want to give me a, uh, scavenge check for the gun vehicle, scavenge check for the lead vehicle and a scavenge check for the bodies. I will give you different lutes and you could top off your shamblings if you want from the fuel truck. Completely? Yes. Yes. Completely there.

[01:49:14] So I'll take who's got the best scav. I've got two. I've got one. I think I've just got one. Well, I don't want to take all the rolls. So I'll take one of them. All right. I'll take one. I don't think I have any. Okay. I'll take, I guess I'll do one of the, I guess the somebody, I guess I'll do one of the cars or do we want, should I do the one of the, uh, uh, scavenge off the people? I'll do the, uh, the gun truck. Okay. I'll do the lead car. Okay. Yeah.

[01:49:43] I'll just start picking through the people. All right. That's a nine over one. Uh, natural black is seven for the gun truck. The heavy machine gun on the back is still in working order. Ooh, heavy machine gun. Check and check. Okay. Heavy machine gun adding to the loot. Um, we called it, we called the copay.

[01:50:11] Uh, I got, uh, I got, uh, an eight over six with a natural seven black for the, uh, for the people, like all the bodies. Do you prefer bounty or do you prefer, prefer equipment? Um, bounty. Okay. Yeah. You find seven bounty amongst the, the bodies that you, you killed along with one working shotgun.

[01:50:42] Okay. All right. And for the lead vehicle, I were seven over one with natural six black. Would you prefer equipment or bounty? I'm more of a bounty kind of guy myself. Okay. You find a little store of six bounty in the glove box. You keeping up? Who's keeping up with this? I got it. Okay, good. We got two evil.

[01:51:07] So in addition to all of that stuff that I just named, um, the other stuff on the people is either damaged or not good to be used, but there is the vehicles themselves. Mm-hmm. In addition to all that stuff I just named. Yeah. Cause we didn't actually blow up or damage the vehicles that much. It was really just, you know, wash, you do detail. Yep. There is the lead vehicle who that is very damaged. It had the. Oh yeah.

[01:51:37] Crushed in and someone turned into spaghetti. We don't have enough people to cover our drivers and, uh, drive that, uh, that gun truck back. Yeah. So maybe we just, uh, secrete the gun truck off in the bushes somewhere around here and sell location on it. You do have road truck standing in the wind to come in and drive. Oh.

[01:52:02] Well, road truck hops into the gun truck and takes it on back to the, the, uh, enclave then road truck. I like that name. Cause he's got a drive. The song convoy comes on the radio. 10 for rubber. Sounds like we wrap that scene up. Um, you guys drive the, the fuel trucks quickly to platform. Dropping them off.

[01:52:32] The platform people. We'll handle the, the three shipping hands people if you want them to. Yeah, I don't want them. Yeah, we don't want them. Okay. Uh, they'll, they'll make sure they, they find their way home. To a farm. To Mars. State. Oh yeah. State a farm on Mars. Is there anything else you guys would like to do? Give me, give me a mechanics check there.

[01:53:03] Balto. Yeah. Yeah. You gotta be kidding me. Hang on. Call, call, no, call in your free reference with road salt. Who's there just to say, no, turn it the other way. Yeah. Yeah. Let's go with that. Call in that favor or that, that, that, uh, that reference. You and road salt look over the video, the video, the vehicle. There's a lot of bullet holes in the back. You could sort of like look through and see it's, it's very Swiss cheesy was the term.

[01:53:32] Road salt said before saying some pun. It's not good. I'll tell you that. Oh God. Right off the cuff. I'm taking this. I'll roll that stress check. That's a, that's a, that's a 10 over one. But in all seriousness, it looks like they might've clipped one of your, uh, your fuel pump wires here. We can just, uh, you know, twist that up and tape it back together to get us home.

[01:54:02] Yeah. Okay. It's still working. It's just not in the best of, of condition you realize. And, uh, you don't know how many more hits like that. It could take. How much, how much is that armor? It's just an upkeep. Uh, it's a, it's an upgrade. It's an upgrade. Yeah. Something to think about. So what did you guys want to do with the shotgun, the SUV, the heavy machine gun?

[01:54:31] Did you guys want to want to sell them? Oh, hell yeah. Yes. Yes, please. We need more assets or gas money. And, um, I've got, we, whoever, whoever amongst us has will should probably be the ones to sell it. Considering how, uh, St. Renard has been rolling today. I realize. Cause what do you mean today? I mean, all day. Every day I roll.

[01:55:01] So I will have the heavy machine gun be a check. The shotgun be a check. The SUV be a check. And the fuel from the SUV be a check. Can we just put it in a jug and hold that in reserve? Oh, that might be good. Yeah. For the fuel. Okay. I will. How much will the fuel sell if we fail succeed or crit succeed? I mean, you could always like you could roll to see how much you can get for it and just not sell it.

[01:55:31] Yeah. Let's do that. Cause if it comes out over four, we can get you more fuel by selling this fuel. Yeah. You know, cause they probably wherever we're selling, it needs it more than, than, uh, the supply that's available back at home. True. So someone want to try to roll for that to see what they would get. Networking, right? Yep. I mean, I've just got a one. If anybody's got a better number than one, I got a one as well. So I've also got a one, but I've also got will. Yeah.

[01:56:03] All right. I'll do it then. If everybody is, uh, so what are you rolling for me? I can always tap or I can always tap a reference to, and then find a better, a better sell. You have a free reference. Oh, I do have a free. I'm gonna have to use it. Cause I just wrote a seven under nine. What was this for? Uh, so on the fuel network. Yeah. Yeah. Road salt says that, yeah, he knows some people, but it would be a four bounty per charge.

[01:56:33] So that sounds like it's better. Well, we sell that now cause we can fill it up later. Uh, and we're just not trying to cart these, these jugs around that you might get shot at. Yeah. True. Okay. So how many charges was that? That is four charges of fuel that you could just have sold. So 16 bounty. All right. 16 bounty. Okay. I'll, uh, I'll roll my networking, uh, as sparky, uh, to sell the gun truck.

[01:57:04] Okay. Which comes out as an eight over seven. So nine over seven with my one networking would a will upgrade that to a crit. Yeah, you could do that if you want. I'll spend a will to upgrade the selling of the gun truck to a crit. You find someone willing to buy it for 10 bounty. Okay. Uh, the shotgun and heavy machine gun. Yeah. I'll, I'll roll for the shotgun. Were we keeping the heavy?

[01:57:34] Well, we can discuss that after the shotgun. That is going to be a three, three crit failure. Unnatural, unnatural. Okay. Three, three. You want to spend a will to flip it? If we can. All right. No worries. Someone's willing to buy it for two bounty. Fine. I don't want to have to pay the upkeep on that gun, but we do have a war coming up guys.

[01:58:02] You could get a weapons platform, uh, upgrade for your shambulance. I was thinking, I'll see, like, I'm, I'm thinking I might be like putting some money on the, on the shambulances, like our armaments. So we could do that guys. The heavy machine gun can only be used mounted on a vehicle. Or, or perhaps an exosuit. Oh God. Right. I will say that I don't want to pay up, upkeep on that either. How much could that sell for?

[01:58:32] Uh, just if we, you know, flat succeed. It's upkeep. Or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or. It's upkeep at six. It's six. So it's six. If we fail 12, if we succeed and potentially more, if we could succeed, could we also, um, donate that to the war effort and have that be a war asset for us? Since we don't have any other war assets on the table yet?

[01:58:53] I will say you could, if you, if you plan on spend, you do, does one of you at least plan on spending 20 bounty to develop a war asset next session? Uh, well, you know, yeah, I guess we need, I'd like to see how that works anyway. I'll say that you could use it to, to only spend 14 instead of, um, 20.

[01:59:15] Or, or we could, if we fail, we sell it at upkeep. If we succeed, we sell it at, uh, double. And if we crit, crit success, what happens? It would be triple, but I'm probably not going to do completely triple. I'm probably going to do like 2.5. Okay. And what was the upkeep on that one more time? That was six? Yeah. So I'd sell it for a 15 if you were, got a crit success. Do we want to get, do we want to see what we can sell it for and then decide?

[01:59:44] Yeah. See what we can, what we can sell it for and then see if it's, if it's worth it. I've got one will left. Let me see what I got here. Uh, natural two, two, we can either get 15 for it or we can, um, how much off of a war asset was that? That was like six off of a war asset. You're better off selling it. Yeah. So let's sell that. Even if we put that money towards a war asset, I mean, assuming we don't need it to eat.

[02:00:10] Yeah. Okay. So 43 plus 15 plus seven plus two plus six plus 10 plus 16. And we were selling the, uh, the fuel from the, um, SUV. Yeah. I mean, cause it was a wash. We can sell it now and then rebuy at the same price. Yeah. Well, I'm just, I'm also asking because like, I was thinking of picking up the, uh, the armor, the, uh, the armored, um, uh, attribute. And that does increase my fuel demand by, uh, by one. So it'll be five for fuel demand moving forward.

[02:00:38] I believe you got 99 bounty. Cool. Okay. Can we sell the location of that free bounty trap? Cause there's probably bounty there, even if it's a trap. Yeah. Give me a, uh, networking check. I've got one will left. Does anybody else have will left? I've got no. Uh, that is a seven over four. Uh, so an eight over four.

[02:01:07] Free bounty you say? How much bounty? Well, the sign said free. So more than one. You're gambling. There's a chance there's a lot there. They'll, uh, give you, uh, trap. They got to go out and get it and everything. They're like, okay, we'll give you a bounty for that information. Granted, we didn't have. Which brings us to an even 100. Yep. What? I don't know what you're talking about.

[02:01:37] So that's everything. You made a hundred bounty on the job. Plus you topped off the fuel tank. Completely full. Wow. Um, how'd you guys like this session? Question, comments, concerns, or any last things you'd like to do before we wrap up? Uh, oh, I ain't doing shit. Yeah. Well, how much do we all get even? Just cause like, I know I'm definitely gonna be spending about one of my bounty toward getting armor.

[02:02:05] We're just, we're just gonna split it four ways. Brownie's just gonna go back to having one character. For a simplicity. Spike, or Sparky's going back down to the tunnels. Or, or maybe Road Cell. Who knows? So, I guess after my break even, that is 12 bounty. So that puts me up to, and I was looking at the wrong character sheet when I was, said I had 10 bounty. That was the old one.

[02:02:35] I had 20 bounty. So I took it down to, yeah, I, I did good, but I guess it takes me up to 28. So I have 28 bounties, so I can actually go ahead and, you know, do a war asset with that. And I just gotta make some money next time. Yeah, so next time, instead of doing a vignette, or a work action, I mean like looking for information,

[02:03:02] you could develop a war asset. And we also had the fuel for the moths, so that, uh... Yes. Helped the war effort. I will let you know what that is further down the line, like I did on the previous one. Okay. Okay. So, I got to kill two people this game, so that was nice. Thank you. Forgot what it was like. I've decided that Sparky with the exosuit is kind of OP.

[02:03:31] So he's going back in the, he's going back in the, uh... Saltmine. In the library. Yeah, well, yeah, the saltmine. Well, I have ways to deal with Sparky if I really wanted to target him. Oh, yeah, for sure. But, uh... I think he's better off, uh... Going back on the, uh... On the, on the, uh... Backup roster. Also, like, question about, like, harm. Uh, since, like, a bunch of us took killing damage and stuff. I guess that'll be stun next time? Or that converts to stun?

[02:04:00] One location, you can either convert kill to stun, or you can remove stun. But that's just for one location. And you can repeat that process for a bounty for each time you want to repeat that process. I should probably do that for my legs and my torso. So, the one last thing we could do this session is have somebody with first aid look at your, uh, damaged extremities. Yeah, that's true. Yep. Okay. Not saying I have first aid.

[02:04:30] I have first aid. I guess I could do it to myself. Also, just your one... I was gonna say your one remaining leg. But the one leg you didn't heal is the only thing that can be healed. I'm gonna say. Because your chest would just bleed out. Oh, okay. So that should... You can't really, like, put a band-aid on loss of blood. Gotcha. Okay, so just... Roll the first aid. And... And because that kit refreshes, dump as much as you want in there.

[02:05:00] Yeah, I'm gonna just burn... Yeah, I'm just gonna burn my charges. Don't forget St. Bernard got hit in the chest. Don't be greedy. Oh, that's true. Yeah. Yeah. As he whistles with each breath he takes. All right, yeah. I'm gonna spend... So I can also burn ration... Or not burn ration. Yeah. Yeah, I'm gonna burn through the rest of my charges on my first aid. And try and heal my leg.

[02:05:27] And then I can just spend another... Like, spend a ration or something to make it get a whole charge again? Or... You could refresh it, yeah. You could refresh. Yeah, refresh. That's what it is. Because I still have refresh. I haven't used any of my refresh. Okay. Let's see what the first aid is like. That is... 12 over 8. Okay. Good thing you used all those charges. What's the natural black?

[02:05:58] The natural black is 9. So on that one leg, you can turn kill to stun or stun to gone for each. Charge. Or for each of those. Yeah, just up to 9 times. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I'm gonna... I'm gonna convert the 6 kill into stun and then... Use... Use... Like, turn 3 of the... Turn 3 of the... Stun into... Like, to go away. Okay. For that one.

[02:06:29] And then... I guess that leaves... So that was 6... 5? 6? Yeah, I think I have 6 stun now or something in that leg. When all is said and done. Okay. So the first aid roll... And then yeah, I'll refill St. Bernard's chest. Yes. And that is an 8 over 1. Okay. What's a natural black? With a natural 5 on the... For your chest St. Bernard, you could turn...

[02:06:58] Kill to stun or remove stun 5 times. Well, I only have kill, so... Yeah. So you could... You have 3 kill, right? So you can get down to just 1 stun remaining on your chest. Heck yeah. Yeah. That gif. We did it, guys! We somehow pulled off this thing! 25 bounty each. Topped off the vehicle. Although there's some holes in it. You can kind of look through it now from the back.

[02:07:28] Oh yeah. No. There's definitely a scene of... Of Balto putting... Like, attaching armor. I am buying that upgrade. Some holes in it. There's some holes in us. No, they're just... Not a hole. Yep. Injuries all around. Don't worry. They won't hurt you again. Just be careful about rubbing salt in them. That's very nice of you, but I can take care of myself. Oh, you're talking to your power then.

[02:08:02] God, I'm just Freddy from the Scoob movie. He just cares about the mystery machine. Hope you guys had fun. Question, comments, concerns. This was a more action-packed mission than the past few I've run. I thought it'd be interesting. Yeah, this was hella fun. I was really worried about how this was going to go. How this was going to play out. And then it... It was kind of... It was kind of... It was kind of...

[02:08:29] Very simple once we actually got into the gunfight. But I was worried when we first started planning this out. It was like, how the hell are we going to pull this off? Let me just say, I love planning. And I love it when a plan comes together. But yeah, thank you so much for running. Thank you, Nick. Yeah. Yeah. You're welcome. So that is session five. Which means... Does that one have a name?

[02:08:57] I think I'm going to have to download and name it. But anyway, we'll kick the bot out and say goodbye. So thank you all for tuning in to the RolePoint Exchange. Red Markets, T minus dot, dot, dot. And I guess until next time, we'll see you later. Bye. Bye. Sleep well.
