Death cult assassins are minutes from poisoning an entire hive city's water supply. Pi Brain hacks a severed servitor head for moral support, Reeb kicks an assassin into a turbine, and Lorne's psychic crush holds the line while Zedek whiffs every finishing blow. They stop the poison. Then Lecoq's cruiser slides between them and the drifting Carillon -- claiming salvage rights.

three two one go excellent sexy all right everyone are you ready for another exciting episode of
warhams
welcome everyone back to another exciting episode of warhams this is episode 17 i think we've been
doing this for a chunk of time we're actually nearing like technically the one year anniversary
i think this was conceptualized like
all right
around these months so it was uh and getting planned on and stuff so i think we've been
doing warham stuff for nearly a year it's time has flown by it's crazy i'm excited i'm sitting
in my chair like yarl ball groove i'm ready and i think uh we're gonna get right to it
we're skipping everything we're going right to the story so thurston
all right thurston okay yeah shit what do you have for us today
oh
all right well at the end of last session our band of ambassadors went into the sewers
of fimbria majoris's hive city in an effort to find this cult that they need to track down
before they can get information on their uh their search for a a starship that has gone missing in
the system along the way in those sewers they discovered that there were some strange xeniform
creatures the
mysterious and dangerous
crotalids that uh maybe caused them some consternation but otherwise uh they came through a
fairly you know hectic combat and that was where we we'd ended our last session where our
ambassadors have gone into the sewers and they are now making their way trying to find this
this death cult that is somewhere within the area and we cut to exactly that
i'll play us
in the sewers
look at the sewers traveling
what are you all doing
uh i would imagine that at the the front is the most tanky individual uh pai
yes have
no fear my friends we have been able to kill the crotalids which means that very soon we
will and do the other thing that you came here to do and take care of the cult
you forgot didn't you i know we are here to
kill uh someone who did a bad thing instead of good thing uh i'm just hey he's gonna call me
instead of good thing i'm i'm trying to keep track if that's mostly right now listen i understand that
there's a lot of things going on there is graffiti there is other thing people in sewer i just i i i
i just i want i want to solve a conspiracy people with the funny device lawn made with me made we
were going around we were like ah it was a fun time i missed that yeah when i hit people with
my book bat that was like three hours ago it's not like we can't go back up there eventually
it feels like it was two it hasn't been a it hasn't been weeks pie we're going to get to use
your funny torture implement soon enough oh good hold on to it and keep an eye out would you and
that i would like to uh just try and
see where like how do we even know where the hell we are are we just like in the sewer you you're
exactly where you'd left off previously having defeated the curdle it's nearest about a five
minute journey from the entrance um deeper within there's like like i say walkways along the walls
and then paths that sort of span the the sewage tunnels that carry on around here
you didn't really walk in with much of a plan beyond knowing that this area connected
you did have some schematics that uh prefect uh amalda had provided are we following them still
uh i i would assume so if any of you have any like skills that might be appropriate for this
a survival for example might be an option survival the most useful skill yeah exactly
that's one that sometimes comes up
i suppose we could approach a blind leading the blind i have the
sewer the sewer map to the spooky layer drawn in a napkin that i got from a drug addict
we could still continue following that but i hope it's not soggy after your
tough hole i didn't i didn't go did i go in the water i thought i was just kind of suspended
mid-air on that curdle in yeah yeah you were you were up on top of it
yeah
i avoided the sewage yeah no sewer today well sewer water where there is this we are there
is sewer today we are there in the sewer as as you are traveling down uh along the path
that is set before you reeb you hear something it sounds like like scratching sounds
okay further down further down like the path you're you're heading towards
is the scratching coming at us or is it like something is scratching in the dirt
is it like scratching in the dirt something is scratching in the distance it's not moving you're
something is scratching in the distance it's not moving you're getting closer to it
okay well we gotta follow this path we're gonna get to the scratching one way or the other
okay okay um as you start to to approach closer you then hear this this mumbling
like this like this
oh no it's escaping
captain some one you need to help me
oh no it's escaping
oh no it's escaping
Captain, something…
Someone is in way too good a mood to be in the sewers.
I know.
I hate people who are in the sewers and happy.
I know.
Do we have any means to get close to them?
Okay.
All right.
We're off the rails right away.
As looking ahead, you do see that there is some kind of light source.
There's lumens that are strung up on the ceilings here,
clearly being provided power.
They're old, sort of ancient, in fact, lumen sets,
but the power here is still working.
Further up ahead, down the tunnel way you're following,
you see that there is a side room that is emitting natural light,
like something like a torch or a candle,
kind of an orange glow compared to the harsh,
more white-yellow that you have above you.
Yes, yes, of course, good, good.
Yes, yes, of course, good, good.
Yes, yes, it's just like that.
Yes, yes.
Should we, do we, do we want to go into this little alcove
and see what's there?
It might be the source of the chittering, skittering, whispering.
Could be one of those sewer buskers who put on very nice,
but honestly unprofessional sets down below in the underhive.
Have no fear.
I will confront the nice people,
and I am going to, wait, it's nearby one of these alcoves?
Yeah, yeah, like you're walking down,
and I should explain, as you're walking down this,
this ancient sewerway, as I've explained,
this is primarily made up of stone.
There's a few metal reinforcements.
This is very typical imperial architecture.
It looks like any time there's been damage here,
it's been sort of a slapdash repair job that's been put in.
There are some grates that look newer
that span some of the pathways of water
to allow mobility for workers
or those just traveling through the area.
As you're heading towards this alcove,
it's a small side door.
What you do see are various immense displays of graffiti
on the wall, similar to what you've seen outside in the hive.
A lot of them displaying words along the lines of
the rising tide is coming.
Rise up against the oppression of the false believers.
Hmm.
Generic cult fun stuff.
Excellent.
When you've seen one, you've seen them all.
Every cult goes the same way.
And then it fails.
Or they drink a lot of...
Good.
Okay, I need to know where these whisperings are coming from.
If we are being tracked, that will...
I will...
All right.
Can I perhaps...
The whispering has stopped.
Thank you!
Oh!
Where was that whispering coming from?
Can I...
It looks like it's coming from that alcove
that has that candlelight coming out of it.
Okay, fine.
All right, look.
I'm just going to get in there
and I'm just going to tell you what I see.
And I'm going to step into the alcove
with my power sword drawn.
Yeah, so your power sword emits this blue lambent glow
as you turn the corner,
contrasting with the candlelight.
The candles that are coming off the back of a man
who was sprawled on his stomach.
With his hands outstretched before him
and his head raised up.
As he's clearly in like a...
Almost like belly flat position
with a slight hunch to his back
to give him a bit of room up.
And the lights coming in the chamber from candles
that are melting on his back,
the back of which is exposed.
There's no shirt or anything.
And he's madly just writing down,
jotting information on various parchment scripts.
This entire small chamber,
probably no more than three by three meters,
is stacked with these parchments
that have been in various states, I should say.
They're all in various states.
Some of them are decomposing, moldy, crumpled up.
Some of them are new,
clearly placed on top of other piles.
And this figure who looks up as you turn the corner pie
and you recognize the face of Clementine,
Clemens, the man you saw
immediately upon taking your Arvis down
to meet Prefect Amalda.
And he looks up with wide eyes at you.
Oh, yes, yes, of course you'd come.
Yes, yes, yes, good, good, good, good.
You're here, yes, yes, yes.
And he goes back to just like writing all,
like writing more script on these parchments.
Hi, buddy.
Guys, come here.
While pie is interacting with him,
can I actually look at some of the parchment
that's scattered around?
Absolutely.
You walk in, Reeb, you turn the corner,
you see all of this, you can see the parchments.
You can pick up one of them.
It looks like when he's done, he's throwing them around.
Some of them appear to have been stacked neatly.
Those are in sort of the side, the edges of the room.
But in front of him, there's just a mass.
So you calmly step in, lean down and pick one up.
And it's this immense sprawl of low Gothic text
that matches what you've seen in graffiti.
All around town, information about the rising tide
against the oppression of the false believers
and various notations of like a coming apocalypse.
Hmm.
Nothing of note, just the scrawlings of a mad person.
Yes.
What's your say, Reeb?
It is the scrawlings of a madman talking about
the end of the world as though every world
is not minutes away from ending.
Oh, you read our diary.
Yes.
What I want to know is, actually,
I, the player, have forgotten this.
Clemens, was he insane when we met him the first time?
Oh, no, no, no.
He seemed like he seemed a bit eccentric.
He was living in a box underneath the landing pad.
But do you also remember seeing him
in all of the sort of footage around the murder sites,
whenever there were picked captures?
He was in the sort of the crowds that had been around.
Clemens, you, are you the murderer?
Hey, did you kill those people?
I'm trying to find out.
I asked you nicely.
You have to tell me.
Do you want to give me a persuasion check, please?
Could I instead?
Oh, oh, sure.
Sure.
I'd like to do this thing.
Oh, fuck.
He's making me roll for it.
I need to change what I'm doing.
Well, you know what?
Fine.
I'll give you a persuasion check.
You're going to love this.
I'm spending all the glory, by the way.
Of course.
Okay.
You're off to a good start.
Pi is the most persuasive, friendly man.
And I got five successes and a glory.
All right, good.
Oh, my God, that worked.
Holy shit.
He just looks up, like, his head crooking to the side.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Not me.
No, no, no, no.
Those were the blessed messengers.
Yes, the blessed messengers.
Yes, yes, yes.
So good, so good.
Soon it will happen, and soon we will rise up, as was foretold.
As was foretold.
You see, we rise up as the heralds of the emperor's word failed to return from the porters of his empire.
Yes, yes.
And it's happened now, so we can rise up.
Yes, yes, yes.
The heralds, they are already on their way to begin it, to open the eyes of everyone here.
Yes, yes.
And he's, like, scrawling out more, and Reeb, as you're, like, I assume during this you're still looking at, like, some more of these papers.
I'm comparing them, yeah.
I'm, like, looking at older to newer ones.
And you find some.
Actually, can you give me an awareness test, since you're actively looking?
Or an investigate, actually, is probably better here.
Investigate, you say?
Yeah.
Yeah, I'll give you an investigation with three successes.
Yeah.
So, you start looking around, and you notice that there's stacks and stacks of papers, but oddly, there seem to be in some of these massive stacks, and at the edges of them, what appear to be, and you would know these, like, medical containment unit, like, capsules for liquids.
Some of them are cracked and broken.
Some of them are on their sides.
Some of them are, like, still have some content in them.
Can I do...
Can I do a Medicaid or a scholar to try and figure out what the contents are based on, like, you know, sensory input?
Yeah, yeah.
I'm not going to drink the damn thing, but...
Yeah, um...
I mean, do you have any kind of, like, equipment?
Like, I forget if you have, like, the equivalent of a healer kit or something like that.
I do not have any advanced materials like that with me.
Again, I would have to start getting something like that.
Yeah, yeah, but you don't have, like, a scanner or anything, do you?
I have a symbol of authority.
Okay, okay.
Give me a Medicaid check.
This will be a bit difficult without any kind of device, but we'll see.
I'll give you nine and a complication.
Okay, nine and a complication.
That's a good way to go for it.
Okay.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I will say the complication...
Oh, the complication is a difficult one.
I think what I will give you for the complication here, just because it's very specific,
and you've succeeded a fair amount,
I'm going to tell you what it is,
like, what kind of thing, what kind of substance is in this,
but there'll be a slight deviation from what it actually is.
There's a slight thing you aren't quite getting with it,
which is, as you look at these capsules, you can tell they all include strong,
um, narcotic elements.
Hmm.
So, there's various different kinds of strong drugs
that would typically be administered by ingestion.
Oh, he's been drinking this crap, then.
Okay, fine.
What is it, Reeb?
Um, recreational drugs.
Narcotics, specifically, I believe.
I could be mistaken, but...
Show them the way.
It seems as though he is...
Show them the way.
Show them the way.
Show them the way.
Show them the way.
Show them the way, we will.
Oh, so he's whacked.
Yes.
Okay.
Medically, he is high on narcotics.
Colloquially, he is whacked, as you say.
Pie, would you mind letting me have a moment with our, uh, acquaintance here?
Well, I guess I don't.
Well, it's good that you are here, Zedek,
because no one knows more than you that drugs are bad.
Zedek, don't drink this.
Don't drink this.
I don't drink this.
I'm not going to drink it, because it's a narcotic.
I might have affinity for alcohol, but not that.
I'm going to pocket the most intact container.
Yeah, and you get one that's kind of half-slashing with some kind of purplish liquid in it.
Weird.
Good, good, yes, yes, you can go, too.
Yes, good, good.
Another pamphlet for the masses.
They will need these soon.
Once they see, yes.
I have a question.
This is some lore questions I need to answer to make sure this works.
Okay.
So, I'm a psyker, right?
Yes, you are.
And from the backstory bullshit is that I was basically brought in from a ship,
and psykers get brought to the emperor, basically, at some point, right?
They get brought to Terra, yep.
That's where they're sanctioned.
Cool.
Do they ever see the emperor?
Yeah.
In some form?
I mean, that is a open-to-interpretation sort of situation.
They don't directly see him, but obviously, during their training,
like, they are brought before the golden throne,
but you might have, like, visions of him.
The only ones who actually see him, see him, are the ones who get fed to him,
which you would not be here.
Okay, okay.
So, I come up to, what's this guy's name again?
A Clemens.
Sorry, his name didn't stick with me.
I come up to Clemens.
Oh, Clemens.
Clemens.
And he has this momentary pause as he looks up and his eyes turn to stare into yours.
Oh, yes.
Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes.
Clemens.
Are you here the herald thing to the guard emperor, correct?
Oh, yes, yes, this place, this place has fallen far,
but we...
we shall, we shall re-re-vitalize it in his name.
He who is on terror.
Yes, yes, yes.
Would you like to help us, Clemens, in every way possible?
Because I've, I've seen him, you know.
What?
He gave me these eyes.
And, of course, I'm, like, bringing the hood back a little bit and showing, like,
Crackling energy.
Yeah.
He gave this to me.
Oh, you, you are.
Oh, I see.
As we're doing this, I want to start doing some psychic, psychic shit.
Okay.
And I want to basically morph it.
I, I'm, like, this is probably narrative declaration stuff.
I want to morph the world around us a little bit, but try to replicate the
visions and, and, and the things that I saw when I was becoming a sanctioned
psyker near him to basically make him a devout follower of going, oh my God,
this guy was touched by God emperor.
He's my bestest friend.
I, I appreciate that you're narratively declaring that you want to use the psychic
ability to persuade this man.
Uh, I will, I will, I will gladly go along with this.
Um, give me, give me a psychic mastery check to represent your, your ability to channel
things and mark yourself down that wrath point.
I'm going to spend my other wrath point to do a roll after I got a three.
Oh, yeah.
You got a three.
I got a three.
I got a three.
All right.
Give me a second real quick.
I got a five.
Um, the area around you doesn't change.
However, this man's vision seems to, seems to swirl a bit as he looks at you and it's
clear he's seeing things through your eyes that you want him to see.
Oh, yes.
It's beautiful.
Yes.
You've been there.
Yes.
To the, to the gilded cradle of mankind.
For he who sits on the throne.
For our sins.
Yes.
And I want you to help us in every way possible as one of his heralds there.
I am doing so.
Look at all of these.
I need you to do.
Soon we will be able to disperse the pamphlets and the people will know because of the pamphlets.
No, no, Glimmins.
Not that.
We need you to help us in other ways.
And I look to my party going, what do you want to do to him?
Ask him some questions?
Lead us to where he's getting the funny juice?
Excellent.
Lead us to where you're getting the juice.
Oh, oh no.
We need to know.
We, we took it.
We took it from all over the planet.
We brought them here.
I, I did the math.
I, I did, I did all of it.
The heralds, they have gone off.
They have gone off to, to deposit it.
To make everyone see.
To make everyone see.
Where are they bringing most of it?
Oh, well, the treatment plant.
Treatment plant.
That's where we're going then.
I think we're already going there.
Yeah, yeah, I know.
I know.
I'm trying to get something else going on here.
I'm waiting for someone else to come in and go, hey, ask him this or send him off to do
that.
Hi.
Who left the room on the earth?
The only one that did so will now come back into the room.
Okay, go ahead.
We need a plant.
All right.
I'm going to look at this guy.
All right.
I don't understand what is happening.
I assume you now listen to him and I'm going to point at Lorne.
That's good.
All right, Lorne.
Now you listen to me and I will listen to Zedek and Zedek will listen to Reap and I, Reap
will listen to me.
Okay.
All right.
We're going to whisper to Reap.
Reap, we should have him show us where the entrance is that he goes to
so we do not trigger their defenses.
Now you tell Zedek that.
Gentlemen, I would like to point out you are attempting to get this raving high lunatic
to show us the way to their secret compound
where they're no doubt doing something insidious and against the best interests of us all.
We also have a map to that secret compound.
There is no compound, and he goes back to looking at his scrawlings.
No compound. We are everywhere.
You stay out of this, Clemens.
The old town is here.
Oh, okay.
No, we don't need to go to their evil compound.
We just need to go to their evil water plant.
You mean the water plant that...
Just take us to the damn water plant.
That's what I'm saying.
Hold on. Before we go, Zedek will kind of kneel down to Clemens' level.
Clemens, you see, just kind of gesticulating to Lorne,
this divinely wrought servant of our benevolent god emperor.
Tell us.
He looks up and has swolorn in a halo.
Yes, I see him. Yes.
Describe for us how you see our god emperor.
What does he look like to you?
Yes, he is magical.
Majesty, he is perfection.
A great golden light that will shine on all the unbelievers
and break away all of their misconceptions
and the veils that cover their eyes.
But we will take those veils off first so they may behold his majesty.
Yes, yes.
And are his messengers made in his image?
There is only the great perfect human form.
There is only humanity and mankind.
Mankind is perfection as he is.
As he has told us.
Aha.
Now, kind of moving away, because you're not telling me much about that,
but those messengers, who are the messengers?
Who are these funny lads?
These people bringing the holy...
Cox's head to the side.
Oh, no, not lads.
No, no, no.
Great blessed ladies.
The ones skilled.
The ones who have...
The ones who have...
The ones who have dedicated their lives to the art of death.
Yes, they shall bring the lifting of the veil to the people of this planet
as they do all across this planet.
Can we, like, move on?
Because it's very blatant to me that this guy either doesn't know what he's talking about
or knows what he's talking about too much.
And we're not in on that.
Yeah, I've got nothing.
Do we want to dump him in the sewer?
Do we want to leave him here?
Or do we want to bring him with us?
You've got too much to do.
I was going to suggest let's have him go ahead and lead us the safe way, but...
Yeah, we should have him lead us the way that we'll not get our shot at.
Yes, lead us on.
If he gets eaten on the way, then oh, well, my bad.
That's fine.
I must write all of the words.
Lead us first.
I must write.
I must write.
And he looks down.
Now.
Simply down the tunnel that way.
Go.
Go forward and you will find.
It's a point that you will not help us serve it.
Well, no, he makes a good point.
He gave us the directions.
I think he's like, you know what?
You know what, Clem?
Enjoy a good day.
I'm going to slap him twice on the head and think it's patting him.
Like his head goes into the stone.
Of course, I must ready the pamphlets.
So many pamphlets.
All right, you're getting.
You know, that just goes to show that even if you have religious differences with someone,
you can still be friends.
I'm walking down this brain.
Well, that's his fault.
I don't have anything to go with it.
Let's go.
Lauren, as you as you walk away disgusted from your companions down the hall, it does it does make a sharp right turn.
Except that point, you can tell that the lumens here have died.
And in fact, it looks like there's a crack in the ceiling that has shifted this tunnel slightly so that all the electrical here is completely dead.
So it just leads off into darkness.
Would it be possible for me to overcharge my power sword safely to create a lumen to eliminate us forward?
I can help.
Oh, yeah, don't you have magical orb powers?
I would have to.
Everyone's OK with me having to roll additional die to potentially complicate more.
Sure, I have to switch out a spell.
OK.
Yes.
I'm cool with that.
Okay, I'll switch out a spell.
Let's see which one I'm going to exchange.
We'll exchange...
You have Psychic Torch.
I thought you had that already.
No, I had to replace a spell to do it for a session.
So I'm just going to replace...
You know, I'm going to replace Molten Beam.
Oh, okay.
The trademark.
That's a good idea.
I have Psychic Torch.
Okay, cool.
And what I'm going to do,
I'm just going to roll this one to activate it,
which is basically...
It's the same rolls, basically.
Yeah, with that, you're able to create a Psychic Torch orb
that causes basically it to illuminate around you.
You can, in fact, charge that up a good amount, too.
You can charge that up,
so it's basically giving you, like,
a 15.
15 meter of light around you.
Yeah, we'll be light as we possibly can.
So everyone around me,
the orb will lead the way.
As it just floats.
Yeah, yeah.
It's essentially just floating around your head,
this ball of, like, ironically, golden light,
as Clemens was just previously exposing.
You make your way, carrying on down the tunnels.
Eventually, you find yourself reaching a large,
metal door,
but the door is slightly opened
and seems to connect to a larger facility.
You can see that in low Gothic signs along it,
there are the words Water Treatment.
I think this is where we were supposed to go.
You first, Brian, you're on point.
Yes, I had that idea when I read the words Water Treatment.
It made me think we might be at the Water Treatment place.
I'm going to try to open the door.
I'm going to open the Water Treatment door.
Yeah, it opens fairly, fairly easily to your grip.
There's a slight winding sound as it pulls back like that.
And then you find yourself with an area ahead
that, again, has some lumen light in it,
this dull sort of blue lambent glow from some of the lights.
Then you also hear the sounds of machinery
just, like, chugging.
Engines and motors that seem to be moving inside.
Reminds me of home.
All right, everybody, pile in.
I'm going to be the forward operator.
And with my power sword at the ready,
I will begin investigating the interior.
Yeah, you move your power sword along,
kind of using it as an impromptu,
like, spec light versus the general lights that are around here.
You can see that you are walking,
like, on planks that are above large bodies of water
that slosh below you.
There appear to be turbine units that move the water around,
performing some kind of tech rite of cleansing on the water.
As you are carrying on, though, and using your sword,
you come to see two bodies that are placed up
against the side of the door you're approaching.
One of them is, like, cleanly...
Shorn in half.
It appears to be a servitor that was, like,
human-sized, like, a human-grade servitor
with two large, boxy arms,
the hands of which have fallen beside it,
as it looks like it was cut at around just above its waist,
straight through with one clear stroke.
Hmm.
What kind of weapon leaves those wounds?
Well, I could probably do a Medicaid to find that out.
Hmm.
I mean, would that be a Medicaid,
or would that be a tech because of servitor?
Medicaid for this.
It's mostly, like, wound analysis.
You can also see there is another one beside it.
This one seems to have various puncture wounds,
but all in, like, key locations,
like joints or one clean that goes through the side of its head.
Oh, yeah.
With a 10, you're able to immediately identify
this is some kind of power weapon.
Yeah.
Like, some kind of...
Yeah.
...weapon with a, yeah, like, a power field
that just sliced through these bodies like they were nothing.
Hmm.
Yeah.
It would appear that we are on the right track.
This is a wound left by a power weapon,
and while they're not necessarily rare,
this would be the similar weapon used to kill
the other noble I was investigating earlier.
So possibly the same perp.
One would imagine.
Unless we have two,
and they're both using it,
or three, four, five.
Clemens did mention...
There's more than five.
We've got a supply leak somewhere,
and someone needs to patch it up before the underhive is rife with power weapons.
Hmm.
And they say three is a crowd.
Now, uh, DM.
Yes.
Uh, I...
We, just reminding myself, we don't regen shock between sessions, do we?
Uh, generally not.
You should, you should take some time to rest.
In which case, I'm not going to do that.
I'm going to spend a wrath point to recover shock equal to my rank, plus tear.
Good.
Yes, I read the rules!
Yeah, I'm so glad you read rules.
I know, thank you.
Proud of you.
I know.
I'm such a good player.
Oh my god.
No need to thank me.
Okay.
Let us go!
So, this is a fairly large facility.
How are you going about investigating it?
Obviously, we're going to split up into four parties of one person each, and explore
the facility on our own.
Cool.
I like this.
I like it.
Let's go with the first thing.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
Oh, okay.
Okay.
We must create two kill teams.
I am piebrain.
Worrabe or Zedek, come with me.
I'll go with you.
I even have a pieb...
Oh.
Okay.
We are team brain man.
Zedek, you do realize you need to have at least one person who is capable of investigating,
be it with psychic or with eyes and two.
Checking out the area, along with someone who can actually fight where the damn their
escape route leads?
i mean lord could sort of fight yes precisely but he can also do psychic mastery i mean come on
come on zedek you're skilled like surely you are good at fighting or good at thinking or good at
looking what what are you going at again i'm good at a lot of things okay point is you should go
with lauren because i believe that would be pertinent well i will i will go with lauren
it's fine lauren are you are you good with that i'm fine with that okay i hope you're i like how
i asked how you were going to explore this place you're like split up best choice all right we
could have all of them as a group which team which team would like to go first oh yeah maybe we don't
even need to spin evidence because no
we never had to at the beginning you don't have a light source we're going to split up we're just
going to be convenient it's going to be lauren and it's going to be zedek you can walk around
no rave has to ride on somebody's shoulders at all
long starts before we fail the dungeon starts walking everyone come on i'll leave the way
like gandalf i lift up my light and start looking around
i guess you won't
ourselves in more danger than we need to today dad okay i mean i'm okay with it don't get me
wrong like as chad has pointed out you can hear the sound of me drooling through my mic at that
but genuinely i'm wondering why everyone was like this is a good idea this is a bad idea this is a
good idea it's a bad idea we're going to follow lord now i i i was just waiting i just assumed
that there were like uh because i was looking at the thing and i'm like oh there's a bottom
level and there's a top level so you're gonna want two people on the top and two people on the bottom
that it's just like the bottom bottom and then i'm like wait that's not true he didn't say that we
don't have to do that no that is just background placeholder art yeah that is just something i
decided was necessary because i have yeah i want to win the second level
from here none of us have double jump i can get very tall and big
did như inspector gadget your legs oh
swear to god if in the combat you go and knock chuck i'm out k i'm gonna let that one go to his
i'm gonna spend a rough way for a narrative declaration i'm just gonna get like party
forward one of those things that like you use to boost your car up and i'm just gonna have my legs
just get really extended all right so reeb reeb leads the way in disgust um no no he's doing it
delightful uh okay okay um i will i will go through in an order that i that i declare is to
check how you're approaching this lauren you're leading the way uh you've got you've got your
your magic light still going how are you investigating this area or are you just focusing
on like awareness are you focusing on maintaining your psychic powers are you trying to find psychic
phenomena what are you up to uh since i'm the psychic guy i guess i'm going to do science to
kind of look around and basically you know try to see what obviously if anybody has any
you know psychic bullshit going on yeah i have to do a bonus breath at the time so let's do that
and
all right uh that didn't work hold up okay um give me a second it did not work there we go
oh god i got a six okay uh so yeah you're using sign of science um it isn't necessarily considered
a psychic power per se so you don't have any problems even if you're in perils which you
didn't so yeah you you start looking around and trying to detect the the etheric currents here
and peer into the into the veils of the immaterial
everything seems very stable here you're not seeing any sources of what you would deem to be
warp fuckery yeah so you're just kind of looking around keen eyed glowing light coming out of your
eyes as you're you're staring intently all right reeb how are you doing like you you see that
lorne is leading the way with the light looking for any kind of psychic events but doesn't seem
to notice anything how are how are you approaching this reeb is going to be checking the
water and the water and the water and the water and the water and the water and the water and the
walls and is also checking for security implements of some kind like you know auspex is whatever kinds
of whatever the the dumb 40k name for security camera is i'm going to be checking around for
any sort of obvious unobvious traps tricks tribbles troubles trumbles with an investigation
check absolutely yeah go ahead i'll give you a nine oh yeah that's a that's a solid investigation
so you you start looking around and you see the occasional the occasional
sign of struggle um particularly small like slashes and indentations in the wall that match
up to the the power weapons you saw earlier
so you're you're carrying on you can also get a sense that you're following a path now and you
have a good idea that seems to be leading towards the area that you'd identified from the uh the
apartment complex you you went to that would allow for the
introduction of foreign agents into the water supply of the uh of the the hive city
but nothing like nothing indicating that they have control of this facility
no no no in fact it looks like deadly quiet
oh good all you're all you're really coming along are like tercerdary units it doesn't
even look like there's a staff here like any
staff here it's probably not a staff anymore if they've been through here all right so i'm gonna
take this up with fucking zalensk here because it's like yes critical location staff it only
with servitors good uh alpha busa demanded that all planetary governors be terrible and inept i'm
just saying that is that is that is canonical sir yeah i know i'm going to have a word with him
okay um so you're you're noticing this i'm assuming reeb you're steering your your
movements towards that location to sort of get towards the the point where you think the
the attackers are going uh with that being said captain zedek what are you doing
i'm sort of just following behind reeb trying to suss out where this is coming from and trying to
keep people alive uh i would have rolled scholar but i think we've kind of figured
out what's where we're headed but not who we're dealing with yet actually you know what i would
love to make a scholar check and see if we can absolutely i can assist reeb in locating our
induction room just look out for the sewer cats the sewer cats are everywhere the what
samurai pizza cats don't worry about it sewer cats are deadly creatures once you hear their
howl it's too late got three yeah you have you have no idea like none
whatsoever as as far as what is uh what is going on here
you're thinking about it but nothing's really adding up in your mind on this
i did my best like i swore my scholar was higher but it's it's fine this is part of the course
for zedek i mean you didn't have that big long thing you tried to do back on the ship and then
did not do it's true remember it's true you you were going to do all this research but then you
saw the name look on and stopped
and we're very angry
you were like yeah you suffered a wound not even lo-fi beats could heal
i'm reminded of my past failings and i am just as resolved to not do as i should now
i i just love the idea that like here's lorne like looking around psychically here's reeb
clearly noticing all the clues and leading you on and there's zedek thinking for a moment face
scrunches look cock
and just keeps walking
this this damn stupid picture where it's like a guy's driving in his car it's like a poorly
drawn image of a guy driving in his car and then he thinks about penis and he gets a very angry
look on his face wow um that brings us to pie brain pie brain what are you doing as uh as as
your your group is is investigating and doing the like the slow scooby-doo team movement through
this uh eerie zedek zedek has his his face scrunchie says look
cock
and then immediately a familiar clawed hand reaches around his shoulder
is that back
yes pie
okay good and he's just gonna grab his shoulder and just smaller than him and
just gonna start dragging him towards one of the dead servitors
pie stop drop
getting my clothes dirty that's okay you won't you will die if you will die if you won't die
you won't you will die if you will die if you will die
you will die if you want ну
you're gonna die if you won't die if you won't die if you want to die
you're gonna die if you want to die if you wanna die if you want to die if you want to die
You will not die!
You will die!
You will die!
I don't like where this is going!
Please stop taking me to my death!
Don't worry about it!
Don't worry about it!
Stop!
Please!
And so do we find a dead servitor?
Yeah, you maneuver him to one of the servitors that has had its head chopped off
and has now tumbled onto its chest.
And I'm going to be like, look at this.
The dead eyes stare at you, Zedek.
Pie, is this some kind of implicit threat on my life?
I'm going to pick up the head, I'm going to take out some wires from behind my hood
or whatever.
Of course, you can't see anything.
You know.
And I'm just going to begin interfacing with the servitor.
And I'm going to say, now, Zedek, I need you to do the captain thing.
You know what to do.
And I'm going to begin interfacing with the servitor.
Give me a tech check, question mark?
Okay, cool.
Like, hey, who's dead?
Yeah.
Well, I want to access any kind of, like, memory banks or, like, recordings or, like,
just, like, information.
Because this is a servitor run, so the servitors need to be, like, networked in some capacity.
So I want to use that to understand either the layout or specifics about the attack.
And the reason I brought Zedek here, Pie is terrible at communicating this, but he wants
Zedek to cheer him on.
You brought him along because you didn't want to do this by yourself and you wanted
a pat on the back when you-
You literally wanted more.
You wanted moral support.
He wanted moral support.
Yes.
God damn it, Jack.
He wanted Zedek to look at him do it and be like, good job.
I want you to look at me while I do this.
Mind you, holding a severed head of a servitor, which is still mostly man, and it's
just a decapitated head with some tech bits here and there, Zedek's fucking just disgusted
and terrified.
He's like, what do you want me to say?
Okay.
What do you want me to say, Pie?
Am I supposed to talk to the dead servitor?
You're the captain.
Yeah, I am.
Is this worth it?
Time out.
Time out.
Let me just understand.
So to set the scene for our viewers and listeners, you've picked up the head, you've grabbed
some cables from behind your mystery mask, plugged them into this, and you're like, all
right, I'm going to turn on the head.
And this is what we're doing.
Correct?
Yeah.
I mean, I guess I could turn it on.
I just want access to its memory banks and like shit.
So you're like directly interfacing with this thing?
Yes, I am.
Yes.
All right.
Sure.
Give me a check.
Why are you like this?
Give me a check.
I want a corruption.
You have no idea.
Please.
Please give me a complication.
No, because I want Zedek to give me moral support.
That's not going to save you from a corruption, bud.
I know it's not.
It's funny, though.
Pie, you're really good at what you do.
Give me a check.
I believe in you.
You just want the heart of me.
Roll me a fucking tech check, please.
Okay, fine.
I will.
Can we give Zedek, give him a leadership?
I would like to roll leadership to inspire my teammate.
Sure.
Sure.
Sure.
That's two potentials for complications.
I love it.
Both of you roll, please.
Go ahead.
Fine.
I'll roll first.
I like how scared you are.
Okay.
It's a four.
Yeah, you're half-hearted into this.
Like, you're inspiring for a normal, like, trooper.
But overall, it's a four.
Four.
Four.
Four.
Four.
Four.
Four.
Four.
Four.
In fact, as you are having this moment,
like, behind you, Sigbald, Ulric, and Bingo are giving you thumbs-up, are like,
yeah, Captain, way to go!
For those of you who forget, Sigbald, Ulric, and Bingo are the three devotees that Captain
Zedek has with him.
And have been with the party the whole time.
They just remain in the background.
Who the hell are you- I don't remember!
I'm going to keep interfacing!
Yeah, OK.
Give me that tech check.
Sorry.
I'm going to spend two that.
Sure.
Sure.
Oh, ten successes and a glory.
The opposite of the legendary.
How does it feel to get doesn't feel to get punked, Thurston?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I mean, like you, you turn it.
Oh, yes.
That's a complication in the tell the person to do.
We don't allow custom complications of donations, but that
makes that donation is a complication instead.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Oh, I like this.
It's very sad.
What's the worst that can happen?
You die.
Oh, shit.
Pie shit algorithm.
No, I shut down and died.
No, no, no.
You're going to get the information.
However, however, the complication
I this is from from one of our patrons, Radio Phage.
Who just the complication is entitled Kriah Trademark.
So as you are interfacing with this, you you access everything comes clean.
And then you see the telltale construction
stamps of Forge World Kriah on this unit.
And it is just like you've let this thing into you
and it's tainted by Kriah construction.
But but you you get a whole bunch.
Of data out of this.
Particularly, you're able to get visual logs of this.
This unit's last moments where it is clearly walking,
moving some sort of box, and then its head starts rolling down.
And as it looks up, it seems to fixate on some figure
in what appears to be a black body glove with a single monocular
red eye that glows through the darkness at it before the unit's visual sensors.
And that's where you die and you're kicked out of it.
The complication, however, has has your entire
your entire like audio visual senses.
The machine spirits of your agmetics are now just incensed against Kriah.
So I assume I should take one shock.
I will allow that.
Yes.
Okay, I will take one shock.
I'm just going to smash the head between my hands.
Oh, yeah.
There's like a sick melon sound followed by the cracking of electronics
as you crush the sort of interior cogitator unit in your hand.
Reed immediately wheels around at this nonsense.
Why is Kriah everywhere?
Kriah is here. Kriah is there.
Never Lemuria.
It's never Lemurian technology we've been into.
It is always Kriah.
What happened?
Just now I was inside of this system and I saw that it was a person
who has a body glove on and a single red eye and hit him with a sword.
And I was trying to get information and then I was doing it and I got a lot.
And then it was like, oh, but it's Kriah, though.
And all my body is now rebelling against me.
And I'm very angry.
I hand him the can of narcotics so he can calm down.
Thank you.
I grab it and I smash it.
Again.
Against my head.
Okay, GM, yes.
Was the force of pie crushing this poor servitor's head enough to splatter Captain Zedek?
And if so, do I have to roll the termination to not vomit?
Not determination.
We'll call that a resolve check, please.
Difficulty.
Also, I didn't give him the thing.
It was a joke.
I did.
I'll give him.
I'll do a resolve check for that.
Here you go.
As a man's skull.
Three.
You're fine.
You're just like there's the splatter of like
dried blood splashing your face.
I assume you have a handkerchief just for this.
It's also covered.
Yeah.
You forgot to replace it after last time.
Oh, it is cheap.
I hope that was worth it.
But.
Well, it wasn't, but thank you for being here for me, friend, and I'm going to pat him over the shoulder with my blood covered hands.
I immediately grabbed the both of them and moved them forward.
That's a good idea.
That was so fucking pointless.
I thought we would get some information.
I'm sorry.
The other thing you got was a headache.
I know.
It's really funny.
Toss in that one trauma bucket.
You brought Zedek all the way over just so you can be proud of him.
You brought Zedek all the way over just so you can be proud of him.
You brought Zedek all the way over just so you can be proud of him.
You brought Zedek all the way over just so you can be proud of him.
You just created a baby tiger inside you, but instead you literally bloodied your hands.
You brought Zedek all the way over just so you can be proud of him.
You brought Zedek all the way over just so you can be proud of him.
You brought Zedek all the way over just so you can be proud of him.
I can imagine you crouching, raging, looking up at him like a puppy dog going, Are you proud of me?
You brought Zedek all the way over just so you can be proud of him.
You brought Zedek all the way over just so you can be proud of him.
You brought Zedek all the way over just so you can be proud of him.
You brought Zedek all the way over just so you can be proud of him.
You brought Zedek all the way over just so you can be proud of him.
going, are you proud of me?
Pie is used to disappointment.
It's like watching a kid make a volcano
for a science fair and it blows up in their face.
They couldn't be more nonplussed.
But the parent has to clean up the mess.
Poor Zedek, he's the hardest working man in the Imperium.
No, he's not.
You're right.
Who the fuck are you talking to?
I'm right here.
There's a pneumaticus behind you
as the way that Reeb was walking towards,
the door that you were approaching opens.
And standing in the doorway
are two figures who stare at you.
Both of them are in black body gloves with these,
like one has a red corset.
The other one has sort of like a red churkin on top.
They have tattered robes, purity seals dangling.
One of them has a long blade.
Another one has two smaller,
long blades.
Both of them are sort of looking their faces
in strange, almost confused looks at you.
Do I recognize these individuals as...
I think I know what they are,
but can I roll like a scholar
if I don't already know what they are?
Yeah, scholar, absolutely.
Can I assist for you?
How's a nine do?
With an assist, yeah, absolutely.
This is like very clearly the...
the typical appearance of death cultists
across the Imperium.
Several individuals are brought up from birth
to learn the skills of murder.
In this case, with a nine,
you would know this actually matches
a lot of the theoretical information
on the reign of the Emperor's Tears cult
that you had been researching and told to prove
the existence of.
These two women seem to be like flesh proof of that
as they stare at you.
Okay, can we get like...
Are they like confused as to why we're here
or are they like angling for something?
Uh, they're standing in the doorway
and like very clearly the one with the two-handed sword,
her eyes have gone wide.
This is a surprise.
The other one's got her weapons at the ready.
I know these guys.
These are the people we're not allowed to talk about.
Ahem.
A hand darts out
and the door closes in front of you.
What? Hold on!
I'm going to try to jump in the way of the door
and hold it up.
Okay.
Sure.
I have objections to this idea.
Give me a, uh, let's say initiative check for that.
Sure thing.
I will be spending four glory on this.
Sure.
As he...
As the pair of pie, if that's okay,
as he's dashing,
can I cast Crush on one side of the door
so it doesn't move?
Um, I will, I will allow this.
Sure.
Okay.
I'll minus four for you.
So both of you can do this.
Nice.
You did four, right?
Yeah.
Okay, cool.
We can do three and go halfsies.
Uh, I think I'll succeed.
So you need four.
Okay, cool, cool, cool.
However, he's a psycher.
That's, that's what he'd do.
And I lost my character sheet.
Hold on.
Don't look at the things, chat.
Don't, don't, don't look.
Okay, I did it.
Five successes.
I will reroll.
Reroll to get more if that is not enough.
Thurston?
That is not enough.
Let's get some more, shall we?
That is going to be 12.
Another complication.
Okay.
Do you get complications on rerolls?
Yes, yes.
Oh.
The only time, the only time that you can't change it
is the first, like if the first roll is a complication
or a glory, you can't change that.
But if you reroll, you still can.
Okay.
Basically, you can't use a RAF point to get out of a complication
is the way that's, but you can use it to get into it.
Oh, okay.
Interesting.
Well, in either case, I did get 12 successes and a complication.
Oh, this is great.
And I got a six.
Can I use leadership to inspire the both of them?
Sure, sure, sure.
I'll give, give me a leadership check.
Sure.
Captain Zedek can see the door start to close and just kind of quickly
look to both of them, nod towards the door.
Leave those in action.
Reeb, do you have anything you want to do during this?
Like, clearly two second moment that you've all had, like,
I don't know, months to prepare for, apparently.
He will shout, stop, and that'll be it, because I am not
I'm not a physically inclined person.
I cannot scholar the door open.
I'm going to roll.
Okay. Yeah, totally.
For one more for five. Perfect. Okay.
So so here's what's going to happen
between the the crush
and and pie brain.
You're going to you're going to manage to get to the door.
However, these these two ladies, they pulled back.
So like they press the button and have run away.
You're more like you're more inclined to keep the door open so you're not cut off.
So you're going to, like, be able to to get the door open, keep it open,
rush up to the area where the door is.
Now, the complication is from like all of you are moving into action.
Even even like the brief moment of Reeb shouting and.
Zedek is the only one who doesn't really have any immediate actions.
He just kind of gives some side-eyes.
So I'm going to say that the complication that occurs on Pybrain's result
is one from one of our patrons, Sir Staples, just called Pity for Zedek.
And it's everyone else's pants but Zedek's rip as you all spring into action.
In this case, it's just the back of Speaker's cloak and the back of Reem's cloak
and the back of Lorne's cloak.
Wait, what am I doing?
What am I doing?
You're shouting forcefully.
You said stop.
Oh, bullshit.
That's what we do far forward.
And for once in Zedek's life, it has not happened to him.
But you do manage to keep the door open
as these two have rushed off beyond.
All of you kind of gather at the doorway.
There is an immediate sense of humidity that hits you
as you find yourself looking forward to an area that overlooks
what's like a small lake of water with more of these turbines issuing around.
You could tell that these figures have rushed off in various directions.
It's difficult to see them.
I'm going to move us to a new map here.
Are you?
I am.
Are you?
Here it is.
Here is a fancy new map.
Ooh.
And since it's a pretty stressful moment,
you don't really see any immediate threats right now.
But I'm still going to count this as combat time.
Who would like to go first?
I would like to medicate my pants together.
I mean, if it's all the same,
I would like to go first because I am the fastest.
Yeah, go for it.
Go.
So, oh, God.
How many spaces can I run if I spend my entire turn just moving?
So the issue with our stuff, don't worry about the grid.
Just kind of have like a good general.
Just say what you want to do and I'll figure it out.
I am just going and I am just like on all fours.
I'm just and I'm chasing after these people as fast as I can.
I don't know if I got a good idea of where they,
where they went.
So I am just going to make sure I don't lose them.
And guessing that this is the closest thing to like,
this is an exit.
No, no, no.
In fact, you haven't really got a sense of the layout here.
You can tell that there are these large turbine structures.
There appears to be some like covered structures up ahead.
So these little areas here seem to have cover to them.
These units,
they appear to be larger tank units that are,
that are attached to pipes that sort of crisscrossed the area.
All right.
In that case,
I am just going to be charging.
I want to try to get to at least like over here so I can get a
glimpse of where these people are.
Okay.
So yeah.
Okay.
So basically what you're like aiming to do is go as I do this.
Here we go.
You know,
you think kind of rushing forward?
Yeah.
I'd like to get a within here,
but I want to make sure it's like,
where are they?
And I want to know if they're hiding back here,
I can come around and I can cut them off.
Whereas if they got over here,
I'm the closest one to them.
Yeah, sure.
So, so you like,
you do basically like a full rush.
It takes you basically like a run to,
to get there.
And as you like cross the area into there,
you do see one of the sort of like body glove figure turns to
you.
And she's clearly wielding a,
a power sword.
But that will be your go at this point.
Is there anyone that would like to seize DAS initiative?
That not a whole lot that can really be done.
I remember that distance.
I would like,
I would like to just to get telekinetic dome going.
If everyone's okay with that.
Yeah, go ahead.
Good idea.
Okay.
So mark down the glory and give me a telekinetic.
Dome as I began to assist with my folks here.
And then let's see what I get.
I got channel energy.
Seven.
Yeah.
That's the only thing I was given a RAS.
I'm going to reroll that.
Yeah.
But it's not enough for you to know.
I can't,
can't boost it.
And unfortunately,
so,
so you,
you,
you,
you interrupt to buff yourself.
Yeah.
Which is unfortunate.
You know,
I was hoping to extend it and everybody,
my bad.
And I'll spend the rest of my movement to pop,
pop,
pop,
pop.
And I'm gonna go right behind one of the barrels up here that
are in the,
in the way there.
I'm basically getting a little bit closer,
but also being in cover.
Yeah.
You're gonna,
you're gonna go to that barrel there.
Okay.
Cause you're,
you're old man and a bit slower.
So you rush up there,
you get behind that barrel,
sort of like sussing out the area.
You can tell that there's these gratings that are above this
waterway.
They they're,
they're sort of connected in a like crisscrossing pattern.
Uh,
and then there's barrels that are blocking the way and they
provide some cover.
You get up to there just in time to see another one of
these,
uh,
these,
these figures hop out from behind a barrel and do this just
acrobatic jumping across to get up behind pie brain.
Uh,
and she goes rushing these twin weapons behind her and pie
you,
you,
at the last moment,
you,
you,
you,
you get the sense of a figure coming up behind you and
she has like raised up these blades.
Um,
but only brings one of them down as one of them
is kind of trailing as she runs and she makes an
attack on you.
Okay.
Ah,
there we go.
There's the power weapon.
There you go.
As,
as yeah,
this power blade comes down and hits you.
What is your current defense in close combat?
Uh,
it would be six.
Okay,
perfect.
That's a shift.
Two,
one.
Yes.
I know.
I know.
I,
I should have adjusted them,
but yeah.
Okay,
cool.
Uh,
and then damage,
I will do 13 damage with two points of AP to you.
Okay.
So that's quite a chunky bed.
Um,
regardless,
uh,
I will be rolling my determination.
Totally.
Uh,
let's try to get some soak in this.
Ah,
all right.
I will be soaking five,
which is,
I believe the amount that,
uh,
was done to me through everything because perfect.
Yeah.
So I have resilience nine,
um,
getting rid of two 13.
Okay.
So I will soak four and I'll take two ones.
Cool.
Hmm.
Excellent defense.
I could,
I could counter attack,
but that would mean that if she decided to fuck,
fuck off,
I wouldn't be able to chase her.
Correct.
And,
uh,
I,
she hasn't finished her turn.
So that,
that is,
that is the end of her.
She moved and then she got behind you and took a swipe.
You,
you feel this cut through some of your,
the,
your armor,
uh,
going into even some of your internal,
like the few flesh based systems you have left.
Yeah.
She sort of like leers towards you and hisses.
And you just hear this.
I believe,
uh,
oh,
Messiah,
preserve me.
And,
uh,
you know what?
I think it's actually a good idea if I fucking fight this person here.
So I assume you are going to counter attack.
Okay.
Yeah.
So you are counter attacking.
What do you guys think?
You may as well,
if you're going to stand there.
No,
because you know,
if she has some trick up her sleeve,
that's going to see her fuck off or dodge away,
then I'm going to be left with my dick out.
And,
uh,
honestly,
when I suggested that Thurston's voice pop was so much,
so much excitement where now I believe in this.
So I'm not going to do that.
Okay.
Good.
Thank you.
Anytime.
All right.
Who would like to go next?
I would like to go and move up to reinforce pie.
Okay.
It's going to just scooty boot as far as he can go.
So you could,
um,
like move behind here for cover if you want.
Um,
but like,
again,
pie,
like barreled all the way in to there.
Yeah.
So that's why like he couldn't do anything else.
Like if you did up to there,
I'd say it'd be a multi action.
You'd take a minus two penalty,
but if you want to like shoot one of them,
something like that,
that's okay.
I'm just curious as far as the little pylon,
it's next to this death cult assassin.
If that's high enough that I can still see them over the barrel and that wall,
that's there,
which one,
which,
which,
which one are you wanting to this one?
I'm forced.
Yeah.
Yeah.
This one,
this one,
you can like,
yeah,
the one with those sort of,
you can definitely like you,
you have a shot to them.
They're going to get some bonuses to their defense,
but okay.
Uh,
yeah,
I'm I'll take a shot at them and try and pull their attention.
Yeah,
absolutely.
I'll hit him with the cookie spook art pistol.
That's cool.
It's going to be a five that will miss.
It goes a bit wide,
hits the wall.
She quickly like shoves her back against the wall and it absorbs the entirety of it.
Uh,
yes,
uh,
Zoran.
No,
sorry.
Um,
I realize something keep going.
I'll remind you later.
Okay,
cool.
I just apologize to chat to my bed.
Okay,
uh,
that was Zedek.
Uh,
then it would come to me.
Okay.
Um,
I go for the other one.
I go for this one that comes out from beneath another or behind another barrel.
Oh,
this is getting out of hand and now there are three of them.
Yes,
uh,
this one rushes up similar to,
to before has,
has two blades sort of trailing behind her,
uh,
raises one up having like been perfectly hidden behind this barrel and takes a slash at you,
Zedek.
I would like,
oh,
I know I can't.
What?
I would have said sidestep,
but I can't because I already moved.
Uh,
yes,
you can.
Okay.
Oh,
you yeah,
yeah,
yeah,
it's reflex.
It just prevents you from moving on your turn.
Oh,
okay.
Mm-hmm.
It's like,
can I attack?
I will continue to sidestep then.
So that's going to bump my resilience and defense up to ten and six,
respectively.
Nice.
Okay.
So,
uh,
yeah,
she comes around.
She pulls out this,
uh,
this blade and she slashes at you,
uh,
only getting a five,
um,
which she will miss and like hiss at you and very similar to the one that came up on pie brain.
You just hear this.
Unbeliever.
That will also be a complication.
Oh,
okay.
Perfect.
Yeah.
And we're supposed to as well,
but I got distracted doing background stuff.
So like,
so I apologize.
I feel bad.
No,
no,
no,
that's the answer.
That's good.
Okay.
Um,
oh,
for this one,
I'm just going to go because a lot of the complications I have reared up for the good old Patreon are player specific.
I don't have many that are like,
appropriate for villains.
So I am just going to roll on the good old table here.
So 55,
that is restrained.
Okay.
So she goes to strike at you and misses and like basically was going for the back of your leg,
like your Achilles and gets her power weapon stuck in the grating at your feet,
causing her whole arm to be stuck there with it.
Well,
this one is now restrained.
That's a monstrous fuck up on this death call.
Assassin.
What a real rookie move,
but really great for me.
Yeah,
read beer up.
Seeing this,
I mean,
I was I'm going last anyway,
because like I'm not really a major fighter.
Would it be possible for me to run up and push her into the water?
Absolutely.
It would.
All right.
What would that be?
As far as a skill,
it'd be a weapon skill or I think I think it would be.
A weapon skill.
Oh my God.
We and those water that water is being churned by turbines.
Yeah,
I'm getting one athletic.
I'm sorry.
It's athletics.
Athletics would be the athletics.
Yes,
not my strong suit.
I will.
Can I can I charge her with my scalpel?
No,
I'm not gonna ask him.
I'm just gonna like move up and shoot her.
Okay,
because I like I was gonna say like like the she's restrained.
So she's taking like even though it is an athletics test.
There's a lot of benefits and bonuses.
You'll get to doing that particular maneuver a because it's cool and B because she's currently in like a real bad situation that would make her susceptible to this recharges up to here then and I will give you an athletics and can I take the last glory?
Of course,
we can take the glory and give yourself two extra bonus dice on that.
I'll put me up at.
Six.
That's not great.
Would he get an extra one for charging?
That's what the two that's what the okay.
He's in our time.
All the all the other stuff is represented by penalties that she suffers.
Oh,
okay.
Cool.
Cool.
Cool.
I will roll my six then.
I five in a glory.
You can tell that you would not have normally been able to do that.
But because she was restrained,
it seems to have like hindered her in place.
And so you rush up.
And just like put your full weight into this,
which causes her to to stumble like falling to like one one meter over into basically the water area.
And then there is this moment where her her her sword like comes clean and shears through the the grating by ZX feet,
and she tumbles and falls into the water.
And then shortly thereafter,
there is this like grizzly sound that you hear.
Ah,
good blender.
Yeah,
just a sprint over and I do an immediate like snap kick and push her in the water.
Oh,
yeah,
I don't know.
Oh,
I understand.
Sweet chin music.
We'll have none of that now.
Damn it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And then the guy that's like there's this like moment of of like soundlessness.
And then,
like there's this like stuttering from the the turbine and then there's just like a wash of blood.
Okay,
that's a that's cool.
All right.
The other one goes.
Moves to their stepping up with their sword and pie brain.
They raise it up and bring it down towards you.
Okay,
that's a okay with me.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Seven.
Yeah,
I think I can't.
I can't.
I can't shove any extra dice into it.
So that's yeah,
but I'll do 13 again.
Okay,
also a complication.
Oh,
it's also a complication.
Cool.
I got you.
So once again,
I'm going to but you know chat hates me.
So it's okay.
Let's see what I get for the complication.
This is a 44.
Oh dropped item.
Oh,
sorry.
No weapons stuck.
So yeah,
she comes and like,
just leads through you brings the blade down,
but it gets stuck in the grading in the floor.
She's not restrained by it so much as the weapon itself.
It's not damn ratings.
I think I know that I'm super fucked up.
I'm going to take the opportunity to counter-attack double make
care of the incidents.
If she fucks off,
she leaves her weapon behind.
Okay,
so you're you're you're declaring your counter-attacking.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
So it's reflexive action.
She will sidestep.
Fair enough.
I will.
I will allow that excellent.
I won't use the glory in the pot because it is important that that stays
where it is.
So someone can interrupt.
So I will just attack.
If it will roll,
I will spend a glory.
Okay,
you may have been a wrath.
Yeah,
right.
Good one.
Eight that will miss.
Oh,
I will.
Can I spend the glory to get a success that will still miss?
Holy shitting Christ.
So that's cookie spook.
You don't like crazy.
I should get sidestep.
So so just so everyone who is listening and watching understands what
sidestep is,
it is a talent and players can take it as well.
Zedek has it.
For example,
it allows you to get double your your rank to both your resilience and
your and your defense against one attack.
I have to declare it before they make the attack,
which is why I was very thirsty when the speaker was like,
I'm going to attack and I'm like,
you're you're you're declaring the attack because you have to do it before
they roll.
It essentially is a like super buff.
So in the case of this,
this death cult assassin,
their defense went up to 10 for that attack.
So that is a mess.
Intriguing.
Yes,
as basically you you see the moment of the power sword being lodged in
the ground and you decide to take advantage and there's the Matrix moment
where,
where the assassin like goes like steps up the wall and does a kick
landing back on the ground and your attack just goes completely wild.
Incredible.
Okay,
so you don't have to deal with that.
That's good.
How's that?
I know it's awesome.
All right.
So who would like to go first this round?
We are in round two.
I feel like I have no choice but to go for a go.
Okay,
I'll leave do something.
I can't leave.
I could see the issue is,
is if I attack,
I'm going to have to deal with the fact that I need to get like a success
on every single one of my dice.
I do have one glory left.
I mean,
I will point something out.
Mechanically speaking.
Yes,
the sidestep only applies to a single attack.
Oh,
that's splendid.
So if you attack the same one again,
I couldn't do it.
Okay,
interesting.
Is is that you can do that,
but I don't I at least have to go second or so.
So I can cast crush and start crowd control.
Yeah.
Yeah,
that's that's definitely important.
We definitely need because this person is going to take me out if they get a chance.
And I'm basically relying on the fact that I'm trying to kill this person on one swing,
which I'm not sure if I can even do.
I could try.
I considered using a wrath to like narratively declare something and I'm like shut us all in here.
So that they couldn't leave or they couldn't aggress you.
I don't think that's going to really accomplish.
Don't you Rorschach me?
I was I was going to Rorschach here.
Yeah.
Okay.
Let's set the scene.
You've you're like in you've run across the grating over this like like Lake of Water with these turbine units in it.
You've come into a central sort of shelter area that has a ceiling about five meters up.
Otherwise, it's about four by four meters and you are now with like two two of these assassins.
One of them their power sort of stuck in the grating in front of you after having sliced at you.
The other one is wickedly staring at you while wielding two of these blades.
What do you do?
You fight well, but I would expect nothing less from those of your temple.
And I am going to you know what?
It's time.
It's time.
It's Vader time.
I am going to beat them to death.
I'm wondering.
Should I do an all-out attack?
If you think you can successfully hit them.
Plus two attack minus two defense.
Yes, but they're cutting through my defense pretty reasonably.
Correct.
Just means I can also shift more damage.
Yes, it does mean that but I'm also you just need to hit me once.
I have two.
I have one shock one tough left.
So if I take any hits, I'm going down.
So I guaranteeing that I take you out is good.
And then just hoping that.
Lauren can pop in and save my do a pie brains going to do tell me that my brains doing exactly.
That's the thing.
Pie brain is very confident in his own abilities.
So I think that I'm just going to fucking smack this lady.
Normal the one without the weapon.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah, the one who's already sidestepped normally I would go harder but pie brain is confident that he can deflect the incoming blow.
So let's go.
Go ahead.
Go ahead.
Go ahead.
Go ahead.
Go ahead.
Let's go to attack.
That's eight successes that will hit her defences currently six.
Okay, I will try to get more.
I'm going to reroll for more successes.
Oh boy.
Yeah, it's your last wrath.
Last drop it.
That's right.
And hell.
Yeah.
So yeah, you can get two shifts nice.
All right.
Let's go go go go go go gadget kill.
sword all right that's 19 damage okay so with how much uh ap3 so i'm only gonna reduce that by 313
well we're reduced by three it's 60 i i'm doing my resilience fair enough your ap sorry i'm doing
mental math here to see but i'm trying to see if there's any way she survives this but she does not
you describe how you murder the assassin who just finished the uh the matrix jump
i know all about this kind of assassin i am just going to uh get through she's reaching down for
her weapon i'm going to use that and i'm going to use that as leverage to just cut her head and her
left arm and half of her abdomen off in a vertical slice yeah and that just like collapses as she
had like reaches and grabs the hilt of the sword there's the moment
where she stares at you and her eyes go wide and that top of her body just slides off onto the
ground and then knowing that this is all i've got i'm going to hold on to my sword in a defensive
position and hope my allies can reinforce me from this dastardly sneak attack that would never have
worked if they were fighting me up front absolutely zoran you want to can you try to
steal yeah i'm gonna use that glory gonna gonna seize yeah i'm gonna gonna try to
seize sure you you seize i mean i i'm not uh i'm not stopping it oh well and i should be able to
see her where i'm at uh if we went corner grid corner grid bullshit yeah yeah yeah you should
yeah so i will uh be casting that of crush and here comes the disappointment
because i have to add an additional wrath die
and suppose eight will do it um yeah yeah eight will eight will hit the target
defense is five against uh you so you will hit yeah and i can boost
i don't have any wrath so unfortunately i can't boost any oh we're also reroll trying to boost
but yeah i cast crush on her and
i don't really have any ending things i'm thinking there's something else i can do
but i'll say anything so yeah so i'm gonna do that and i'm gonna stay where i'm at
okay yeah so she's uh held in place by the crush uh i have to spend i think it's a fallaction to
uh to break out is that correct uh basically on what that is uh basically you were you were
restrained like and you you
can't do anything and basically while restrained the target can do nothing their turn except try
to break free again by making another strength or willpower test as a full round action the victim
does not escape to take additional 10 so yeah uh i think it's on i'm sorry um one sec if successfully
activated the target takes 10 plus 1 damage but i do get to make a strength or willpower test to
avoid being restrained by the crush so that would actually happen when you cast it so i will make
that test to see if they even are restrained let's see what i get here what's better willpower
or strength oh they're both the same um let's say on their turn or uh there's the if successfully
activated the target takes one or 10 plus 1 damage and must make a check or be okay
it's right there
gotta save it there's got it my bad yeah yeah yeah no no no uh and i'm going to roll see if that
happens i would need like two sixes in order to actually break free of this so nope she's not
breaking free of it it's really nice of her to give us a glory yeah no that's that's
can that complicate it all and then what and then yeah can that roll complicate it all
um
yeah does it complicate do i have another complication stats against me i only did
chat really hates me cool oh okay oh she's she's or say does it mean she suspended an
error she just can't move she can just go yeah yeah um like yeah uh okay except tried to break
free which is fine okay cool um
uh you she complicates um yeah like there's she drops her weapon base one of her weapons basically
uh so she's only holding on to one of her uh blades as the other falls to the ground she is
restrained cool um
that's not good well guess i'm gonna have to fix that
oh
oh
called it so calm as another one comes like rushing down the the southern grating uh south
of where you are pie kind of looking to flank uh where rebe and zedek
are uh for like sake just running uh naruto style this one has has a power sword uh in one hand
uh who would like to go next
hey zedek what's your weapon skill uh my weapon skill is six what the fuck how do i have a higher
weapon skill than you all right i don't know the scalpel is mightier than the oh fuck is the power
sword that she had the one who is now uh liquefied is is that sword still here or is that in the
water uh that that one that fell with her because she cut through the grating and fell the only one
that's still um like available is the dead one over here the her power sword is by her uh
good luck zedek uh so do you want me to object interaction give you my power sword i've given
it away before i'm not sure because i also would i would be really remiss if i get it from you and
then fail and then it's like oh well there goes the sword it's gone goodbye yeah oh she is going
to sidestep so it's actually worth it to have like
parting
shots that you don't actually expect to do damage just to trigger the sidestep
can i stay where i am and just shoot her twice uh with what weapon uh las gun yeah yeah absolutely
can i would flamethrower can you sidestep flamethrower you can you can do like basically
a dodge against area weapons okay in that case i prefer to do the flamer because the damage on
that one's way higher okay sidestep is a reflexive against melee attacks though
that's true like yeah she can't side no no she's not sidestepping the the ranged attack so so i can
can i fire twice with the same weapon but can i fire once no you can only fire once with the
the same weapon the only way you can do like do do multiple attacks is like um salvo weapons and
things oh gotcha all right in that case i will just flamer okay if i get her uh yeah so you're
going to to pull out your flame weapon
uh okay give me that uh that sweet sweet ballistic skill i will question what the hell are these
barrels again you don't know oh good i look forward to it exploding yeah oh that's a three
i'm gonna wrath that okay that was not good do it big do it big do it that's yeah make it nasty
okay okay um oh lord so let's let's find out how how this all goes
because i am going to do a dodge against the effect which is just uh something you can do
yeah that's a player complication balls oh all right 2d6 uh no no not in this case okay in this
case this this is an epic moment everyone this is this is a very epic moment there
is just so much going on here
you can feel that the gaze of glory is upon you this is a complication for patriot trevor donald
for all of the players next turn they must spend a single glory point in their actions if they don't
uh or if the glory pool is empty um the gm uh sorry they have to make a willpower save or the
gm gains a rune dice so basically you all have to make a willpower save or the gm gains a rune dice
you all have to spend the glory and if you don't
so so for for an example in this one he actually came up to me when we were playing valheim
on the discord server and he's like hey like is this a good complication i'm like
that is possibly one of those that is an example of a good complication that is
that's one i've heard like those are good complications i'm tired of getting can
magnus be summoned and like kill lehman russ in front of lauren
i'm like stop those are not good complications i'm calling you out
so yeah uh i'm really quickly as that's going on uh we we have we have this this moment right of
like the the eye of like glory the the pantheon the emperor everyone is watching this moment
because this is a deciding deciding moment um all right give me i'll put it i'll roll a glory die
you don't have to this is on your next turn so you've already done your thing here like and this
applies to all players so basically from now all four of you have to spend a glory on your turn or
you make a willpower test and i get ruined as a result okay um that being said your flamer is
going to uh to strike her so it will inflict the on fire trait which is super fun uh can you roll
me damage for it you bet i've been waiting to do that yeah
can i shift anything or uh no actually uh flamer yeah yeah you can shift one dice so you can get
one bonus damage on this all right my bonus dice damn you there we go i didn't count it
oh just roll it just roll it yeah one d6 i apologize how many glory did you take
it's one well i haven't used it yet no no yeah no no no no you haven't you haven't had to spend it
here okay so 11
just to help out go ahead and spend it spend it now because people are helping a lot so just
let's say you spent one and then i feel and all that stuff so just say you used one you had a
damage okay fine cool yeah uh yeah she's on fire she's still still around she's taking some damage
you now have this woman with a giant like sword who's on fire coming towards you i believe that
brings us to captain's attic do some things well i could save i could save pie or i could
reeve hmm i'm at full health get him okay zenix taking the active opportunity to abandon reeve
okay and run up here cool
nobody beats on my skitari friend but me and even then i can't because his body hurts me i'm going
to attack with my arc sword yeah what he said optionally you can do follow reeve's example
and just push her in she can't move right now uh not in a pushable spot by the looks of it
yeah there's a wall there also also like there there's still some defense like it is the
restrained which is a bunch of penalties it doesn't let you like kuda grov them or anything
i mean she can't move uh if you really want to play it that way i will totally use crush against
you guys that way that's that's legit like i i'm just going by
what you're saying
what it says there
stop all your head
like you're holding her in place totally and she's like she can't do anything on her actions
but even then she still has some defenses to her let's let's like i'm just going by what it says
man like just restrain it's okay no i mean like honestly it's just the restraint condition just
the normal benefits yeah that's that's like it's she like rules is written she has the
restrained condition she can't
do anything but that doesn't like make mean she has defense zero or anything yeah no like i'm just
going by a lot of because because my spell specifically says she cannot do anything like
she cannot move can i do whatever that's what all it's meaning so i assume she's basically tied up
so unless we do with like old dnd terms and basically like i swing at the door you missed
the door like like what what it is is what what what that says is well restrained the target can
do nothing on their turn except to try to break free it doesn't say
they have defense zero no no no no you are correct no no you're fine with that the point
i'm making was that my thing says like they they can't do anything like yeah yeah they can't on
their turn they cannot do anything defense is not an action it's a stat yeah like defense is not
no no no i agree i agree i'm not arguing that okay okay i'm sorry i'm sorry for being so yeah
she can't sidestep because she's
restrained yeah i'm i'm sorry i'm sorry for accidentally bringing this out i didn't know it
was a thing my bad it's okay we love you uh yeah no no like you you can you can attack her she she
has a defense value right now that defense value is it has a penalty to it yes okay
pie have you ever heard the sound of a power sword cutting a death cult assassinated twain
oh that's a death cult
assassin yes oh no wait yes do it again
okay
that was the worst handling of like a setup i've ever heard it was so i yeah you blew it
no you don't understand you don't understand i think it's funny that's what matters just miss her
i'll spend the bonus like yeah the bonus to hit i guess damage fine you fine
you're welcome good very very cool seven i love you okay yes you hit roll down okay here's a damage die
oh that's kind of caca yeah that's really bad it's real bad are you are you shifting any uh uh successes
am i allowed to two yeah so i would love to two two bonuses two bonus to that i might be enough yeah
i think you also spin your glory or anything like yes i spent it on the uh oh okay okay two my bad
i'm sorry it's i i'm trying to catch up cool red the bear
okay so one is from okay nine uh there's still a
live some power weapon is this thing like is the power field like discount yes like no but my
motivation is genuinely i'm curious as to how that how is that doing less than my flamer flame hey it's
a napalm flamethrower yeah but that's a sword with an energy field this is the finest sword
that zedek could buy i'm gonna fucking i'm gonna show that goddamn image in our
in our channel i'll show you like if you can't put it on the stream but i will show you all right
nice fucking all right so you you make your attack you you come down with you with your
blade you you slash her as she's being held and like choking in place from the the psychic crush
that's going on she's staggered back but she's still like alive slightly breathing um okay cool
uh one two
ah
four you're going to die oh um and this one seeing you attacking their defenseless ally
comes rushing from behind a barrel also wielding a power sword um and takes a slash at you captain
zedek i would like to sidestep i figured you would which is why i said it that way
lord quick use molten bean i would like to spend one of my rune dice to re-roll this
no yes
no i have four of them and i have used none
vanish me poop shit
is that it uh your successes does the 10 hit you with the the sidestep
i'm pretty i'm pretty sure okay that's a 10 and a six well no it's it's 10 total so
um okay yeah yeah perfect perfect perfect yeah perfect excellent i'm gonna roll damage now
um actually this should be a power sword so i'll just roll power sword damage
uh wow that wasn't as good as i wanted it's 10 with ap uh three hey she's got the same
power field that your sword has okay so that's good but remember oh good oh no three three is
gonna go up my resilience would be a ten so i'll just take three shock from that uh well a yeah ap3
so your resilience goes down by three
power weapons dog
so you take three
you can roll determination
you can do yeah I know I haven't hit you guys in so long
well welcome to a brand new
season of having to think tactically
I cussed out my math
teacher in high school to where I'll never use math
again and here I am looking like a dumbass
on the internet
that's right
thank you Mr. McGillis
all right
so you take three shock as basically you
turn you manage to turn just in time
to sort of take a
take an emotional blow as this thing almost
hits you and slices you in twain
emotional crit
and for the final action of the
round
this is getting up to
one of the
one of them
comes up from under the barrel except
you can see that this one this one isn't
rushing towards you this one
seems to be sticking some kind of
cylinder into this this large tanker
unit that's connected to all the piping
here
hey that's not kosher don't do that
um and I think with that I think with
that
we'll take our break here and come back
all right folks we'll be right back I
hope you guys stay tuned please tell
everyone we're loud and available see
you all in about five ish minutes
it is my firm belief the water is not
wet you've you've
physically cannot tell me otherwise it
is not I'm not taking part in this it is
oh yeah you know what it is because like
water is wet in that the state of water
is like being wet means being in water
and water is in water just like you're
in you you're in yeah but just because I
am in me doesn't mean I am wet I am not
water I might be mostly water but water
cannot be wet because but if you were
wetting something if you were inside of
yourself you would be like you know like
you were walking around like a giant cave
you know you're not in a cave you're not
in like it was like you're like tiny
little man inside your veins you're like
well these things are so wet because I
know how dare you pull out the fucking
allegory of the cave on me speaker you
know it's not an allegory of a cave
there's absolutely is an allegory of a
cave I'm gonna kill you every I'm gonna
get you I have a but aren't you
technically wet on the inside but not
the outside yeah yeah no I'm not look
go to gym class learn some science get
some job for you so I need to know how
wet the captain's attic is no shut your
fucking mouth
the hive is about to explode I got I
hope so
shut the hell right now where we left
off to two more of these these death
cultists had jumped out to a sale our
players one of them is currently
restrained by a psychic crush and near
death one of them is near death and on
fire things are things have
intensified a bit and we come to the
start of the game and we're like oh
we're going to have a good combat round
who would like to go first I feel like oh
man I feel like I have to play out back
I will back you up speaker you're gonna
I'm thinking this right she's putting
this into here I have a choice if we
considered our efforts we could probably
kill these two right this person's
definitely dead between these two this
lady is gonna fuck you up it's gonna
suck I can't take a hit I could run
forward I could take her out to the
potentially if she fucked up her
sidestep um do I have my do I have a
wrath back by the way I have both yeah
Oh lovely okay um wait I have some oh no
oh no I have a plan no all right I know
so this woman she just put in the
machine she hasn't activated you yet
right she she was spending her action
getting ready to clearly do something on
her next action that might be bad all
right I'm gonna go ahead I'm gonna spend
I'm gonna cast a spell on this game
directly from my pride all right okay
I'm gonna spend one wrath point mm-hmm
narrative declaration yep the water
treatment facility is of Lemurian make
which means it's substandard
I didn't expect it means it will take
three turns for this action to be
completed
who you son of a bitch you know you
know I can't say no
mark him down the wrath
some pie gave all sorry sorry yeah yeah
okay yes you are a living amoeba every
here's why every single piece of
Lemurian technology we've encountered
has broke this is the only way obviously
this was all part of Lemuria's plan why
contain it yeah I mean they created this
equipment to fuck up specifically for
this purpose increased demand crackly
crackly good kick no she was nation
attempts increased demand for audio
fighting gamma will remember this from
the top right of our screen all right
now here's my question Thurston yes I is
a grapple considered an attack that you
can sidestep
grapple rules I don't grapple rules oh
no
yes it is a combat action okay so okay
she'll sidestep it so in that case my
best bet is to try to just make sure
that I can fucking over the proverbial
wait surety sidestep didn't you know
that one hasn't been attacked okay I'm
out of the shadows and attacked German
over the proverbial reach I am going to
all-out attacker and I'm going to spend
three glory by the way I'm going to spend
three glory bumping up my attack okay on
to the one that just came out in attacks
attic yes yeah I will obviously declare
the sidestep against this okay so that
is going to be five extra dice I believe
in you you spent a glory this turn good
job that's a complication I'm going to
reroll this unless that hits yeah it
does not you need a 10 12 12 will hit
and the complication all right all right
all right this is good you know of all
the times for my power sword to fuck up
now would be a fine time because we're
surrounded by power so oh wait wait yes
I'm going to use this lovely
complication from Shepherd of Slaanesh
called yeah excessive compulsion the
player must reroll the result even if
the role was successful something didn't
click right when the character made the
action and perfection is needed so I
have to reroll everything yes all right
do I do I get the reroll from my wrath
oh I'll even say you do yes how kind of
you I really want to thank I really want
to thank that patron for that perfect
perfect complication well that's 12 now
we roll I see Slaanesh is making it
better
I think this person's dead well let's
find out I'll be shifting for um okay
let's see do we have the glory for me to
bump further into damage no um well I
mean my let's say one two three you can
do like one you already spent the glory
to do yeah I don't want I don't want to
risk it I'll just go for this remember
the rest of us need to have a glory
mister 16 good 16 total resilience
because of 10 7 14 actually mark me down
a rune point I theoretically can survive
this theoretically but you're not going
for it buddy boy we'll see we'll see
cuz death death cult assassins have this
cool thing that lets them roll agility
for determination the fuck yeah sure to
win because my speed is superior and
she botches that roll and dies a
terrible terrible death how do you how
do you dispatch that one understanding I
see the emblem of my Forge world on
this equipment I know that the machine
God is watching over me and with this I
measure twice cut once
you okay yeah just cut her in half yeah
okay sweet beautiful all right that's
that's the end of your go I'm then gonna
I'm then going to spend my turn or my
can I move after that yeah absolutely
um towards the I don't know if that's a
good idea
um
yeah I can charge her if I need be but I
you know I'll get a bit closer okay um
just a bit I I will be able to get up to
her I'm going to point my sword and be
like stop right there
not yet perfect all right uh are any of
you interrupting
no okay that might be a good idea
actually but then they wouldn't have
glory well wouldn't that count as
we have two right now but I so if we
want to stop the person from doing the
thing I mean what I was going to propose
is that I just stop what I'm doing
levitate over and go nope and then crush
well having that crush still on this
person would be a good idea okay because
then the jumping could take me out can
you multi-crush yeah I can multi-crush
bully it just gets harder like I can
crush everybody here it just gets harder
and harder every time I cast it and more
chance of perils yes well do you do you
dare to crush the one doing this shit
over here I can uh I mean I
brains comes to a factor I have to
double check the range I don't think I'm
uh you've got I think you're you're
just in oh I'm actually oh yeah I might
oh yeah I don't just in range also due
to speakers narrative declaration she
should have another two turns before she
actually turns it on yeah yeah that is
true but we're just gonna save it just
in case there's more coming around so um
if it's okay with everyone I'll interrupt
and start crushing okay I'm good with
that oh yeah you go crush it again all
right so you're doing wait wait wait so
before you roll the crush you're
declaring that you're interrupting right
yes
okay mark me down a rune point because
I'm going to interrupt
so technically I spin a room point or a
glory point you spend a glory you're
still gonna go it's just order of
operations I'm spending a rune to go
before you no no no I meant for the
complication thing I didn't do one yet
oh okay gotcha gotcha gotcha gotcha um
and then I am going to have the one that
is on fire go
which requires I do a few things first
such as you know how many wounds do they
take they take one one mortal wound from
fire yes suck it they're still alive
damn it they have to make a willpower
save or willpower test which they
succeed so they are not hindered
see here then I am going to have them
make a acrobatics test
to jump into the water okay that's a
complication but it's good enough for
what I want to do the acrobat which is
to move up here hop and use the barrel
to hop towards Lorne
go dying again the complication however
uh what is the complication let's find
out
she falls into the water I know I'm
gonna say that the complication is that
the barrel explodes
oh great a benefit I don't think that's
really a downside for you uh I mean it
could kill her but like she's gonna be
ahead of the blast if it kills her it
kills me it's possible it depends what's
inside it
a benefit to you you'll see what if
it's just filled with poop it's oh no I
I actually meant the one she jumped off
of the one by Arndell over here
now you're just like oh whatever no I'm
like oh no your entire tone changes
Zoran no I literally shifted it to
benefit to you it's still the same don't
worry I'm gonna get it's not gonna just
benefit me it's it's in fact it's going
to probably kill me but whatever uh so
they jump they make an attack at you
you want you can just skip the raw she
hits
does it
it's incredibly hard yeah
here'd in the year'd okay uh so yeah
uh so I'm not gonna do the math I'm dead
you're you're down you're down you're
down um
well couldn't you soak it potentially
no
you have uh what's your resilience dude
if I even if I got the resilience all
of them it would not happen
actually no he's right he's right you
could you could survive this which would
be really important for your psychic
powers because that is going to knock
your def your resilience is going to be
three so in the end you're going to take
it's going to do eight straight damage
to you so make the determination check
because it's actually really important
I got one
you could see if you got another one
such as by re-rolling or by throwing a
glory at it
um you could potentially build be up
with one wound
that would be worth it because then the
the restraint wouldn't stop
I'll spend the glory then all right
thank you based lauren
does it give me a die I assume it's at
the roll it right
yeah yeah just one d6
uh there you go sweet so you are going to
sweet so you are at one wound
yep oh yeah
dome that's right thank you chat for
reminding me
let me uh remember what that does
hey you're the only one plus two
resilience so actually you don't even
have to spend the glory you would just
take you would be down to uh two two
wounds uh okay let me just bring back
the glory then because of my dumb ass
because it's important I've been very
distracted um
yeah it's just plus two results and I
can soak mortals
yeah and and the complication is is that
this barrel
explodes as she jumps off it is this
flaming like avatar of death with a
power sword in the air taking a slice
down
doing a good chunk of damage like you've
only got two wounds left after this
um and she slices down and you can see
that trailing behind her is this
this
rocking explosion that causes her to
hit the barrel beside you not ignite it
and then
falls down into the water where she is
caught up by another turbine
holy shit
um reeb can you give me a uh agility
test please
ah good thank you you're welcome uh
agility it's not my highest the worst
I'll give you
three surprisingly perfect uh so that
that barrel
explodes beside you however it doesn't
do any damage
uh and since you make the check you can
actually take a free uh two squares of
movement anywhere you want
I'm going to move over that way yeah
perfect as I have plans
yeah uh and that's uh my that was my
interrupt activation so now it goes to
lorne
so wait she got propelled into the water
anyway
basically what happened was she she
walked out or she
ran up hopped on the barrel because she
was on fire she ignited the barrel as
she leapt off of it
uh she made the slash on lorne but the
ignited barrel exploded off the barrel
and the barrel exploded behind her
careened her into the other barrel and
she fell down into the turbine
good and then you just walk away because
cool dudes don't look at explosions
I would prefer to dive
absolutely I think we've had enough of
cool reeb
cool yeah that's fair that's fair all
right uh so that was me lorne you're up
okay um I'm going to sustain I'm
dropping the telekinetic dome sustain
I'm sustaining the crush still network
one individual
yeah which I think I do damage right
now until we're still
uh yeah so
which is just that happens on their
turn if they fail to escape
okay cool and uh
okay and then I'm going to cast crush
on the other one
absolutely and uh because I dropped it
and I don't have to do the plus two
right now okay so you know what I'm
doing I'm doing crush and then I'm gonna
cast regeneration on myself after this
crush so regeneration when I have the
difficulty stuff
so bloop uh yep and I complicated
balls and also yeah and I'm also going
to spend a wrath to make sure that
succeeds
which I'm going to get a tin okay I
find it really funny you also you not
only rolled
wait no it's not a complication because
you gloried too
uh no it's it's no no no no it's a
complication yeah yeah you don't you
don't get glory from the psychic powers
but you do get the
peril yeah that's weird
it's psychic powers because you can
have multiple wrath dice on them yeah so
because I had to exchange molten being
for a torch so we can actually see in
this place for the most part
I have to do I have to add an additional
wrath die and that increases the chances
of going critical you know yeah okay so
um
the the psychic complication comes from
uh the appropriately named spooky
skeleton thank you spooky skeleton the
complication is titled ah my skeleton
uh all creatures within 30 meters have
their skeletons
ahem open parenthetical or whatever
their equivalent is comma space fuck
you
my brain heart close parenthetical rebel
against them
causing movement to be decreased by one
skill and all the difficulties for
skills to go
up by one as your
all of all of you feel your your
skeletons like starting to shake in
their body
as lorne is pushing the limits of his
psychic power
to crush this uh this assassin at the
far end
ah my skeleton equivalent
and to and to tell my skeleton to stop
it shit
I'm going to uh attempt to regenerate
yeah and that's this is gonna be hard as
hell because it's just a random chance
of doing it because I have to get
now with the difficulty stuff it would
be eight ten eleven because it'll be
plus two and then it's gonna be hard as
hell to do and I fail miserably don't
worry about it yeah
uh yeah did you have the extra uh
wrath dice in there
yep uh I put two on here but I could
just roll one real quick if it didn't
show it didn't so let me just do it I
gotta
okay cool so then there's another
perils this time we'll just use the
perils table this is the
this is the actual danger of like
chaining psychic powers when you're
doing this stuff because yeah this is
only 2d6 man
and to do
double four double four oh that's a lot
of power that's a lot of power that's a
double four okay so this is unnatural
bloodlust
uh all creatures within 15 meters of
you so everyone but this far assassin
um
suffers ringing in their ears and the
taste of bitterness and iron all melee
attacks characters making the next round
gain plus one extra damage dice well
this isn't good for me
you're welcome no
like you're trying to heal yourself but
instead you just like
send out this murder lust to everyone
my
and then it's just everyone else gets
angry
absolutely okay perfect uh so that's
lauren i get to go
i will go with the one in the far
thing and see if i can break free let's
let's do it to it willpower
i fail cool um and that's it oh and then
you take my damage
uh yeah then uh roll me uh one damage
dice actually two two damage days i
think
it's one d6 unless oh sorry one one
damage dice just take the six whatever
yeah i take the six yeah and so
13.
okay cool uh that one's not looking
good
actually you didn't roll damage on the
first you told me i wasn't able to
because it had to be on her turn
uh no no no you you do it on the first
one too it's just she gets a chance to
ignore it so you would do damage on your
turn two so roll another d6 or these
okay
yeah
uh just ten okay cool actually she's
looking like real beat up now like blood
is coming out of her out of her nose and
mouth that she's held in place uh okay
who wants to go next
left or reeb i mean if you're okay i'm
inclined to finish off what was started
hopefully good idea try
zedek half-heartedly defeated after
not doing his joke is this gonna yeah i
guess i guess i'll kill this one too
wait no zedek ask the joke
uh the moment is past pie it's okay no
okay roll the attack
critical mission failure yeah there we
go a complication
and a three still technically hits um
complication um is oh dear
um oh gosh we're gonna we're gonna use
this one i need you to roll me a d6
because this is the most zedek thing
ever
oh no yeah yeah
yeah
uh you roll to roll this is chase chili
nine
after your action you immediately roll
1d6 meters towards your next target for
style points
so you kill this one and then do a
captain kirk roll that only nets you one
meter towards the other one
oh man
hey can i use my wrath die to re-roll
i need this captain kirk roll to be
better i need it i need it
do it again
you like yeah roll across the entire
grading from the one sort of shelter
just land like ending up in the next
shelter i imagine he's dark souls running
at him
oh yeah
i am terror incarnate i fear for my
life but i'm clearly more of a threat to
the person in front of me
you are up
uh good
can i see any other potential assassins
like hiding anywhere like fucking i
don't know one of them like hide in a
fucking vent that's like the size of a
fucking pancake or something would you
like to give me would you like to give me
an awareness test yeah sure whatever
make me roll awareness i will
i'll give you two in a complication
there there there are no further ones
that you can see
terrific uh in that case would that be a
requirement or is that like free
uh that would that would be an action
you would have to take that's why you
weren't noticing them earlier on because
none of you actually
like pie pie charged in and you didn't
sus like
like inspect the area which is why
they're just coming out yeah
very uh with that done and because i
don't
trust my own eyes i'm going to move
over here and i'm going to medicaid
okay yeah absolutely see if i can get
him some health back
i'm presuming by the way dumb question
did this door shut
no it's still open fuck he's already
might want to move away from that at
some point
now i'm dead anyway
uh
oh no something looked at me my
character is dead
all right give me give me a medicaid
test
good old natural medicamines i don't
seek any penalties correct
i'll give you eight uh so it's difficulty
three to restore one and then for every
shift so you can shift one here so you
can restore
great he's up a little bit more yep i i
am up a little bit more thank you my
friend
yeah you're over um that's the end of
this
that um
yeah who who would like to go at the
beginning of the next round
i will take the first napkin if that's
okay
i like to vote for zedek so he can get
his glory kill
you know what you're so fucking right
zedek you're the most electrifying man
in sports entertainment
go get him you're only saying that
because i have an electric
gun aren't you yeah i am okay
i'm gonna go up captain zedek's gonna do
it big
i hope he's gonna make it nasty because
i really need something to redeem my
character
highly unlikely no
pride goes before the fall
oh my god
zedek i passed you this football
he passes you the football
guess what you don't have
oh gosh you miss oh god who else but
seven the only way okay okay i should
clarify her defense is lowered down to
three right now so technically if you
spent the one glory point in your
possession
and rolled the six you could redeem
yourself
all right i have a question
yes can i spend can i spend no you
cannot spend your
your currency on other players that
destroys the point of it being your
right
fine pathetic
please experience glory experience
fiche
oh man i i sure would love to
okay here you go
damn you still just like try to slash
and just
you you try to do i'm guessing like you
really wanted to do some
flourishy like finishing move
and it just it just did not wait for was
this was this a charge zedek
i don't know he seems like a good point
i know he walked out i did i mean i
didn't you want to make it a charge you
were walking aggressively
it was a very slow charge i assure you
wow
all right
i simply missatsu towards the death
cult assassin
i just left after images it looked like
you know what you know what i'm gonna
i'm gonna let you get the what is extra
bonus dice
just so you can fail this dice roll too
and the shame can be eternally on your
family line
it already is do you see zedek
please roll me another decent charge
i know how that's gonna turn out
there we go if it wasn't all i did if it
was an all-out attack you would have
gotten another one
that's a full action and he moved just
stop it
i've had enough
oh poor zudy
to uh i will people are people are
donating and give
zedek a wrath and all this other stuff
but i think this is technically interesting
i think this is technically after his
bullshit
yeah this is up to the game master
tragically
this is up to the game master to allow
him or not
i am and in this case i'm gonna have
that assassin
go and spend a full action to try to get
out she's gonna use strength
she's not gonna get out actually you
know what
no mark me down my last rune point i'm
gonna re-roll and hope for two sixes
here it's gonna happen
just wait for it no it's not okay she's
still stuck there and uh
uh roll me damage uh lorne uh 1d6
that is 11.
so as like like zedek as you were trying
to do this like flourish finish
and like just not lining up the shot
correctly
uh eventually like all life comes out of
this woman as she is
crushed to death and collapses
uh as the psychic power no longer works
as she is non-living
and collapses throughout that
i totally did that wow zedek you're so
cool you didn't even have to hit her
the singularity of your depressive
episode caused her to
self-crush pie is once again convinced
that zedek is blessed by the omnisia
i
moving on
yeah there's just the sound of like the
the turbines chugging now the water
moving
there's there seems to be no other
movement here all of these uh
these assassins are are collapsed over
dead
uh from various wounds inflicted by your
weapons
oh shit
i'm gonna with this machine yeah you
you can see that there's clearly one of
those like cylinders
in that you saw in clemens's a little
hovel
uh that is full of liquid that has been
inserted but because of the lemurian
make it has it it's had a number of
false starts so it hasn't quite injected
it yet
ah omnisia deliver us you have been by
my side
all along and i'm going to take it out
yeah
all right uh can i make sure that none
of these like fucking pumps have been
activated
you know i want to make sure that yeah
at this point like you can you can all
take take a look around you can take a
look around you can tell that there's
there there are no more of these these
women around
all of these uh pumps uh
looks like at least two of the or one of
the other women i should say
uh had a similar set on her the one that
kind of ran up from the north
area uh with the power sword towards
zedek after he killed the other one
um she has a similar looking
container on her but didn't get the
chance to start inserting it
gentlemen we have done it
follow me
yeah whatever you've done exactly we
stopped him from putting the drug in the
water
yes could you pass it to me please okay
i throw it
you're gonna you'll regret that maneuver
give me an agility check
to catch it all right here you go
actually uh sorry uh initiative my bad
uh initiative i don't think that's much
better
no it's exactly equal actually okay so
either way perfect uh four in a glory
uh you'll grab it and like do so with
gusto i will i will just hold up my hand
and grab the lazily tumbling bottle
that's flying through the air and then i
will just say
i don't ever do that again okay i'm
gonna go back to looking at the machine
can i is this the same kind of purple
goo that is in the other canister that i
have it looks to have a different
consistency to it but okay definitely
provide some
awesome
all right either are any of these
motherfuckers alive or are they all
very dead
oh everyone here is very dead okay you
are quite murder in fact chat was
begging zedek to be like capture this
one capture this one
i did not happen i needed to test the
drugs uh
uh in that case i'll just take a sword
i'm just gonna take one of their swords
uh okay so there's two there's two types
of weapons here
there are like power blades the the the
ones that sort of were dual wielding
had those
and then the other ones were all
wielding single power swords
uh the power sword is generally the
better option
i will take all of them as best i can
because i would like to
uh sell them on the black market for for
money uh okay no i will just take all of
them that i can
yeah absolutely like you can you can
sort of like grab all of these and put
them together
yeah bundle power sword bundle
yeah sure i'll decide later you're
collecting weapons
it's like it's like i'm at kroger i just
see a whole bunch of power swords i'm
like i will grab a whole bunch and i
grab them
that's actually really good because that
means that like the ones that we need
like you can have one
um we can get learn one if you want give
lauren a melee weapon
yeah uh yeah you're right probably a
silly idea
but i could have two and i've been
thinking about getting into dual wielding
getting bullied from long range
you can finally counter-attack something
when you inevitably survive the attack
getting bullied from long range oh yeah
and we also have that astropath that
likes weapons
oh yeah i've actually been uh telling
people
in the comments for our videos of like
any time you've
basically said this gun has no value to
us and walked away i'm like
well there you have it everyone they're
never going to get the true ending of
the campaign because they didn't collect
all the guns
hey gm i want to point out i tried to do
that back when i was a kid
and i was like oh my god i'm not going
to do that
i tried to do that back when we were at
uh
whatever the hell awful planet that was
with the the arkansas people
but but that was so quickly passed over
that i didn't have the opportunity to do
anything
so i'm making up for that by getting him
better than
better power swords good good so gather
all the power swords but solely so i can
put them together into a very large
buster power sword to not fuck up my
roles true oh my gosh
just go to the gyms i think
uh you have lack i don't want to get
smarter pie
you have the lackeys that you birthed so
just make them carry it all
true um yeah you've got you've got
sigbald ulric and bingo with you
i have a suggestion i have one
wrath point left oh that's a bad sign
we don't have someone to interrogate uh
oh
i'm gonna spend a wrath point with your
permission dm
that woman who did a kickflip and landed
dick first into this shit
maybe she survived
and is only just barely
traipsing out of here completely exhausted
incapable of fighting
perhaps even drowning but available for
us to rescue
denied thank you
thank you i i've had i've had about
enough
denied carrying on you have murdered all
of these people if you wish to save
people in the future
might i suggest um not murdering them
all
i expressly went out of my way to not
kill hatsumonira we did not bring her
back from the forest
we did not bring her back from the dead
then we killed her that's different
though but ernie if we don't have a death
cult assassin to be a strong muscular
companion how can we have more
options in the vn
i roll athletics to push zedek into the
grinder
these are lemurian grinders they're
made to kill you if you fall in
i also have stopped the poisoning uh yes
you you have you have these these
containers now
what are what are you what are you
doing like again it's completely silent
here
like all of these women like are cut
down and like
sliced apart and whatnot uh from from
your various weapons or charred from
explosions
what are you doing it's important for us
to find out why they came here so i'm
going to be looking for any accoutrements
or
identifying material or manifestos or
whatever
i'd be content with just dragging like
the smallest portion of them that shows
them as a death cult assassin
back to the other place
that's a good idea yeah like you again
the equipment is is fairly telltale like
you you also see that they have like
purity seals
and different scroll scripts on them
that you know continue to have sort of
the
the the ramblings that you saw in
clemens's little demence in the the
sewers
just all of these notations um you know
talking about
the the the time of uprising
and specifically awaiting when the
heralds of the emperor's word failed
to return from the borders of his empire
hmm
i don't like that and not a playing
card in sight
we solve the mystery which means we
don't have to deal with the
repercussions later
i'm going to uh go back uh if i spend
the time to do it
can i of one of the fucked up servitors
can i like salvage a like
uh picked capture device from like their
optics
or whatever you you have one from
earlier you don't even have to make a
check you've got that already
okay i'm just gonna photograph everything
absolutely so at this point i think you
guys are just kind of like
we're out of combat you're you're
essentially getting a bunch of evidence
collecting everything that you've got
here
uh getting your weapons so that sort of
stuff we don't have to go into all the
minute details of that uh that'll be a
bit boring for people to listen to
however uh once you've kind of collected
everything where is it that you were
looking to go from here
um i guess it'd be important to figure
out if there's like any other relay
stations like this
in case we need to um stop them further
so you would know uh immediately that
they're they're not um and that would
just be from reeb's knowledge this was
sort of the access injection point this
was the place they had been casing based
off the prior murder
yeah so this this is the one the one
point
okay um
hmm well i suppose if we have defeated
the elements of the
gang here uh i'll look around make sure
there's no one around i guess we'd have
figured that out by now
um i recommend we find the source of
this because
even though we stop them here they could
easily get the materials again
and try once more somewhere else so we
need to go and find the source
that is true perhaps in analyzing these
materials in a laboratory would tell us
where they are
where they came from i searched their
bodies
uh for signs of like map locations
anything else like that
nothing like that okay and uh like you
you've ransacked their bodies pretty
thoroughly they came in here with
weapons
these these these contents and their
armor and their
devotional prayer scrolls and i wish i
had a wrath because then i would uh
try to pull some psychic mastery
bullshit by grabbing their brains and
trying to like
commune with it in some way i'm going
let me search through your memories
and see if i can find the
evidence
last
yeah our best thing or if i can do so
now with a high roll
i will i will take this opportunity to
remind you you weren't
ever hired to completely annihilate this
cult
you were hired to prove its existence
i feel like we've done a pretty damn
good job of that all right all right
cool guys we don't give a fuck anymore
let's leave
we're not here for jobs like one of the
lighter upper
of the lighter upper halves of the
corpses that have been chopped into pieces
is going to just drag it behind him like
I mean the one in front of me
is still intact just
crushed yes I don't want
a heavy ass corpse I'd like a
light one thank you I could carry it
yeah just let the lackeys carry it
put it in a body bag
put it in a body bag and have them come with us
Sigbold Ulrich and Bingo
are carrying all the weapons and guns
and corpses put on top of the body
like I feel
so bad for Zedek's crew because
like this is what being a Zedek devotee
probably means that your life will be
forever
to be fair it's
it's not required that you
give yourself completely over to
him as a a true
expendable human
life but these people just kind
of are endlessly clout chasing
to no avail it's like
Zedek just doesn't know how to
respond I was just waiting for you to come up
with some fucking term like yeah like
you know some of the Zeta fans
really like this like coming up with some
fucking pet name for them and I would
be done with you
people all over the Z equator
oh gosh okay
so so where are you
when you are this fucking when you
leave this place where
are you going um you have a few
options obviously like
are you gonna like just leave through the front door of the
facility are you going to track your way back through the
sewers is that all there is
to this facility because I have a feeling it'd be
like hey yeah we came in we attacked one
group that was poisoning one filtration
section the rest are probably fine
don't worry about it well this was an
elite kill team so but
is was this the only one
this was the only injection point in this
facility yeah like the
these these contain these can these
big units that are at the
two sides of the map there those are
essentially the only two points where you can
inject additional
like additional matter
into the water system here
okay this this building is built
for or this part of the building is built
for purpose for this whatever we choose
to do can I do a tech to lock the door behind
us like absolutely
yeah like
I mean really lock it
yes
oh wait mine's not terribly good pie
can I pie
yes can you lock this door behind
us like really lock it like really
very lock it you know I
have a better idea than locking the door
uh I'm going to fuck with the
permissions on the uh water relay
plants I'm going to create a
code phrase that uh only I
know that would be the only thing we need
to input to be able to access this shit and
no one else knows it I'll tell the people who need
to know
okay
as you were you were doing this and and
setting up the the sort of door
uh the door locking
uh you you do begin
to hear some uh some
sounds of footsteps
and sounds of footsteps
rushing towards you it seems to be a lot of them i'm going to aim my i'm going to get my
flamethrower ready again so before i was out i wanted the cast regeneration to heal myself
yeah yeah yeah yeah i mean i assume like i i assume out of combat like reeb is medicating
y'all up you can use your say i don't want to necessarily have you cast regeneration over and
over and then like pearls of the warp and blah blah like reeb reeb is capable of doing that
without uh yeah let's just say just get up hp or whatever are we all back up to full yeah yeah
absolutely um and you've finished up like again i don't want to go into all the minutiae here you
guys have finished you've cleared up stuff um you're you're leaving and you hear the sounds of
like and as you kind of like look down the hall you see what appears to be a a squad of of troopers
moving towards you
they don't have weapons raised towards you they're sort of in a in a like low level position
but they're they're rushing forward towards you um and then behind them you see the the form of
prefect amalda who's pointing and say yeah right over there uh just through that door uh you want
to set up a yeah uh just just there yeah yeah do your thing okay ha prefect amalda oh hello there
and you see the the prefects
sort of waves to you excitedly as as these troops sort of move past you without even acknowledging
you i will uh take the upper torso that one of the one of zedek's lackeys is holding and i will
just hold it up by the arm like i caught a fish oh well i'd call that proof yes do we need to
bring it with us i i i got a lot on the pic on the pic scans i sent in some servo skulls
they they got everything i've sent it to the planetary governor he should be ready to meet
with you again to give you the details on the carillon that you were looking for excellent
i will drop the torso like a rotten fish you see my neck what is the meaning of your appearance
here oh i'm just excited after i told the planetary governor he said i got to lead in
a squad to secure the facility i guess he's gonna send some more troops to make sure this
doesn't happen again i should hope not that was rather harrowing yeah you think for a giant
hive city that their water system which could affect their entire population would be more
secure the imperium yeah it's kind of like there's not a single tarantula turret not a single servo
monitoring system just does greats that stop power swords just greats a very specific defense
system but it worked yeah so so mold is just just like smiling
we'll have everything here secured and i guess you'll be on your way soon too
well perhaps we will be moving on we have generally proven only that we need to get
this taken care of in order to take care of our own issue so i'd imagine we would be gentlemen
it was a pleasure meeting all of you i i do hope you come back to fimbria majoris someday
i'll i'll make sure to have all sorts of things ready for you
if you do it's it's been so nice to meet you and she like goes and like shakes your hand
rave and then goes like down the vine of all of you well thank you very much but do not think of me
think of the glories of forge world lemuria who saved your city oh oh yes i'll be certain to see
if our next order of servitors for the planet can come come from lemuria i think that would be great
oh that's a terrible idea
why is it a terrible idea reeb
at this point at this point i say uh we are going to do a star wars-esque
screen transition as it like sidewise over black oh yes
lauren no just side wipe that's the transition yeah yeah okay
as you were back in the arvis heading towards the the governor's uh towards the governor's spire
you you once again land it is still raining out it is always filled with water here you land there
are the guards that meet you yes oh finish this first i would like to get something before after
we're done absolutely uh and you the the guards hurriedly take you from from the rainy landing
platform back inside to the foyer where you clean yourselves up before being admitted back to
the planetary god
as we are on approach yes to the thing can i take aside the team absolutely gentlemen do we
have any do we have any objections to me going first and talking to the man this time but i do
not like him precisely do you not you don't want to talk to him do you i want to throw him off of
something yes well we can't do that maybe do you really go ahead if he demands to speak with me then
i'll deal with him very good i'll go first just don't let yourself get bullied by this toupee
wearing push i assure you i will endeavor not to lauren you don't object do you would you like
would you care to chat with the planetary governor i don't care he tells it like it is
very good gm yes before we before reeb goes in and speaks the governor i should have piped up earlier
and i'm all of us finishing saying her goodbyes i would love for zedek to just flick her a business
card saying if you ever want to get off this hellhole of a hive you know you know where to
find us join my hellhole in the sky she takes she takes the she takes the card and and like
it's that camera view where she's clearly like slightly lower down and she looks up
and the light is reflecting off of her glasses so that you can't see her eyes but she just
has the biggest smile and she's like i'll be sure to keep this in mind
cool that's pretty subtle among us subtle
why why would you ever think that you're right good point well i think that happened yeah yeah
yeah at this point you you are now back in the in the chambers of planetary governor jeremy zlensk
who
looks up from a desk as you come in ah yes it is you again good cuts you may one of you may
sit whoever wishes to speak the others must stand rave immediately darts for the chair
good goods it appears that you have addressed the issues that would have
hurt me so since i am going to be safe now thanks to your efforts and that we know that
there is a cult active here on this planet that we can crush for my protection i i think it is best
I gives you the information you need so you may leave and not pester me anymore.
Quite right.
Give us what you can.
Yes, well, it would appear that you were looking for information on a missionaries
galaxia vessel, the Carillon.
Well, the Carillon did make it in system.
There was some strange communication mishaps after it entered system.
We managed to reestablish some contact visits, but the Vox was strange and we weren't able
to get any hollow or lithocast communication with the vessel.
However, we have detected that it is now drifting somewhere between this planet and Fimbria
2.
I have the coordinates already transmitted to your vessel in orbit.
Question.
Yes.
You said drifting.
It's not active, Ben?
No, it appears to have cut its engines and has been drifting in the void for some time
since its arrival.
Making note of that.
And it is heading towards which planet again?
It is not heading towards any planet.
It is drifting between here and the second planet in the system, Fimbria 2.
Fimbria 2 is a mining planet, various Adeptus Mechanicus outposts on the surface of the
world that perform mining and resources.
The noble families here all have stakes and claims over the planet and work with the Adeptus
Mechanicus in order to harvest resources.
That are used for here and for me.
What Mechanicus groups?
Very general Adeptus Mechanicus.
I don't know.
I don't deal with them myself.
The families each have representatives from different forge worlds.
But even then, most of the systems on Fimbria 2 are automated.
I want to say, by the way, just for just for emphasis, Reeb has kept an exceptionally straight
face throughout all this.
He is not doing as usual.
He is just like, I'm going to be so fucking bored looking that he's going to be impressed.
Shit.
What else can we even talk about with this guy?
That's basically all we needed.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's complete.
Oh, we could pass over the drugs they're going to use.
They probably he probably secured it since he sent the troops in.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Amalda, Amalda took those.
I guess let's go home.
I I bid you hopefully that you do not return to my planet if you have to make sure to contact
me. If you are staying in my system for any amount of time, be aware that I may call on
your services again.
You have proven to be somewhat semi-competent.
Good day.
Very good.
Goodbye.
I pull a pull Zedek to the side.
Yeah, you're leaving.
You're back in the foyer room.
I'm Captain Zedek.
Yeah.
Yeah, Lorne, what does competent mean?
It's something that all of us sorely lack.
Oh, well.
That hurt my feelings.
While this is happening, can I just Jim, can I declare that Reeb has been all the while this has been happening, he has been creating a report on this planet, namely, the fact that I'm just going to say just for clarity, he's been making a report to this planet.
He's been making a report.
So that he can submit that to his inquisitor Harlan back on Gavro, and he is going to basically do his damnedest.
Can I do I need to roll a check to make as damning and incriminating a report as possible for this guy who is literally apt to save his own foreskin and no one else's?
What what kind of check would you like to suggest for that?
Um.
It's gonna be crazy, could I do a deception?
Absolutely.
Like embellishing it to make him even worse.
Absolutely. Like embellishing it to make him even worse.
Even though it's like mostly still true.
Absolutely.
That's the finest art of deception.
Mm hmm.
OK, so it's not spectacular and I don't have anything that can help with this, really.
I could do like the last glory and I'll do that, I guess.
I'll throw in one more glory on that deception.
Absolutely.
Three, what would be enough?
You do have a wrath die still.
Yeah, I'd say a five would would would would get some some notice.
Wrath.
And I'll give you glory.
Yeah, glory.
Absolutely.
OK, so I want you to remember that we're going to come back to some of this kind of stuff because.
What I'd like us to do when we have moments like this is discuss what everyone's doing with their downtime, which of which we're we're going to to have a bit of.
But I want to to skip over that and let's go over the return to the ship.
The harvest lighter takes off and reenters the atmosphere, the litanies of Gamu's list of requirements.
This is dealt with through various means.
I don't know what exactly you do to turn it off or speed it up or whatever this time, but you are accosted by her her droning voice of, you know, required maintenance on that collector just as the shuttle makes its way up to the frigate and lands on its embarkation deck as as you come down.
You can see Lieutenant Ransom is standing there crisp in his uniform to greet you.
Captain, good to see you again.
Good to see you, Ransom.
Hi. Good evening.
Stop, bro. Skillet.
Fucking Lauren, sir, we have received the coordinates that indicate where we are to find the floating carillon.
You know, I get us underway.
Yeah.
Let's.
Let's go.
Let's say the line.
Say the line, Jettick.
Say it.
Do the thing.
When we go to a place, the ship goes zoom.
Say the thing.
The thing you always say.
Yeah.
The thing I always say.
What do you always say?
Yeah.
We never heard it.
We just want to hear it.
Yeah, we know you always say it.
Fine.
Fine.
I'll say the line.
Lieutenant Ransom.
Do it big and make it nasty.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He said the thing.
I didn't know that was the thing.
It's more tradition aboard this floating hulk.
All right, sir.
He like sharply salutes and walks off like the three.
The three devotees like fall to their knees.
We're back.
I never thought I'd see the ship again.
Not after the darkness.
And who gets a birthday cake?
Don't be they give us.
Just go join the rest of the Zetacult.
They'll take care of you.
Okay.
Okay.
Go to the mess hall.
You'll get you'll get vouchers for meals for.
I don't know.
Hi.
How wait?
No, you don't know how people eat.
Rebe, how much food do they realistically need to recover and forget?
Rebe.
Pardon me?
How much food and.
Well, substances will these fine gentlemen need to forget about what's happened?
They don't seem to need much convincing to forget.
Uh, I can I can build up a little cocktail for them if you'd like.
Oh, it's okay.
We'll go to the mass captain.
Yeah, yeah.
Next time you have a mission, call us.
We're there at the Zeta Squad.
And they like run off.
You are now alone in the embarkation deck.
I'm going back to them.
But there is a shadow in the corner.
Oh, blooms.
Uh, Reb's going to.
He's got like the bundle of power swords under his arm.
He's going to like try to pick one and rich and like reach one out.
Like which which golf club today?
And I will just shadow takes a step forward as you're fumbling with your power weapons.
What are the rest of you doing?
I will be walking like a spider.
Yes, good combat maneuver.
Lauren, I think it's a cool thing to do.
It's a Lilliburian carcinoform technique.
True.
The shadow takes another step towards you.
Has that equal sigh yet again and turn on his power for our pistol and get those mixed up.
And then you just hear this daddy's high as tater totter runs out of the shadows towards you.
Oh, boy, it's a child.
You could have mentioned it was the size of him.
You could have mentioned the shadow was the size of a bean.
No, the shadow was long because of the lumen light.
Bullshit.
When did this child finally develop the mental thing to start calling us dads?
I don't know.
I'm pretty sure he was intelligent.
I don't agree with that.
That's what happens.
Xenik said, oh, I should be calling you now.
I did not.
Did you literally make this?
I would like to spend a wrath die.
I would like to spend a.
I would like to spend a.
I would like to spend a.
I would like to spend no wrath die and walk up to Xenik and grab him by his collar.
I didn't do that.
I didn't do it.
Xenik, we are not this child's parents.
Do not give him any sort of false inclinations on this aspect.
I didn't tell him that.
I didn't.
I told him.
I am your father.
And I'm picking him up and throwing him in the air and grabbing him.
Eye, brain and tater tot hug.
I'm hugging him and then I'm grabbing him and then I'm throwing him in the air and trying to catch him.
Whee!
Glorious!
Glorious!
As he's like going up and down.
I'm having an imagination that like Warhams has turned into some really weird sitcom.
Yes.
Warhams for daddies in space.
And it's just like, just like we're all a bunch of single dads taking care of one rattling.
Zoran, what do you mean turning into?
Yeah.
I, from here we cut to you walking like down the, the halls of the debt collector towards
the strategium, clearly like one of those, well, um, horizontal escalators that you use in airports that you're using to pass all of the menial workers by who are scrubbing blood off of the walls and working on panels.
Uh, and, and meanwhile, the whole time, like tater tot is running around you.
And that, and that's when I met, uh, that's when I met the beef Kings and they were real nice.
They like, they like food.
And then, then I, then I saw these people.
They, they like probithium a lot.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And, and miss Gamu, she was so nice, she wasn't
okay.
Tater Tot.
I have understood that for long times you have been dwelling in the trials of the bowels
of a debt collector.
And I have been very busy doing very cool things.
things with my cool friends but i will be spending the next week being like a father servitor to you
and i shall teach you in our ways i will engage warmth and compassion protocol and that's and
that's when i met there were these nice servitors there was sir johan gasmas esquire the third
and loading and nerozard and marshal edward montfort and disuser
and that happens for like a day he's saying this while looking into the camera
oh yeah absolutely um please please tell me you've been well fed down there you can get
anything you'd like on the ship i am just so glad that you are alive tater tot
uh yeah hi i went i went to try to find you but you weren't on the ship um i went to you
to your quarters captain but but there was no one
there i thought i heard something from the closet but but it was scary kevin's and it just stops him
and just holds tater tot very sternly and says whatever you do don't go near that closet
ever all right no nothing he's like oh no he's scaring the child no no no not like that not
like that just it's dangerous it's very dangerous look just don't go into the closet we'll we'll
get you a nice cake to forget about it oh i love cake i bet you do i bet you do little buddy
yeah yeah okay so um where exactly like are you wanting to go on the ship at this point
um let's start with captain zedek uh what are you looking to do now uh i'm not gonna be called
a liar i'm gonna go to the mess hall and try and get tater tot a nice cake
excellent so so you you take the child and head to the mess hall
um
lauren what are you doing now that you're like back quote unquote home on the ship
i assume i i'm so i'm gonna gather a couple lackeys and go we need to deliver these weapons
to the astropath come with me i'm delivering the weapons to the astropath oh yeah i'd like
to take one power sword out of that i'll take just the regular power sword i will also take
one power sword out of the pile he's gonna have two yeah i'm gonna have like nothing i so many
picked up more weapons on the way or like from our past adventures
i've just been sitting in a pile near the art near the arvis lighter or whatever yeah so so all
of uh so the three of you are as zedek is is taking tater tot uh to get a cake the three the three of
you are heading to the astropathic no i'll be with tater tot i i i pi feels like he needs to
be a mentor to tater tot pi has to be i will not accept any alternative yeah i will follow around
with lauren this time yeah okay so he's going to be uh sorry oh no i was gonna say so so lauren
and uh rebe you make your way into the sort of mess hall and then we're gonna go to the
of central area of the ship that has this ominous dark um darkness to it with with sort of fog and
billowing out from different panels and you get the sense of an immense warehouse
and then you reach this section that is full of just these these stand up um these stand up
containment units that are lined like you would see in any kind of commercia district and then
as you turn the corner sitting in the center you see the astropath winnick revette sitting there
now it's good to see you again we've uh we've brought the weapons for you here you are glorious
weapons yes yeah i'm like i'll say you've obviously been collecting a few weapons anytime
you have said like oh this is useless um you you've
you've have an assortment you have some of the the weapons that you've found from uh scar garris
prime cough cough alabama planet uh you have some apologize to the people in alabama
um you have some some weapons that you have found from uh your most recent mission some of the power
swords and power blades you you come with this offering and he looks up these sort of bionic
like crooked smile i don't know he was gonna be bringing me guns yeah but take your pick
and he's like pouring over the pile
oh this one's really good actually i really like how it feels in my hands and then he puts it down
it almost seems like he gets more incoherent when he's not carrying a weapon
i leave
just give up instantly
i'm going to remain here and deal with this so so lauren turns around and like walks out leaving
leaving reeb and and winnick rivette alone and winnick like picks up another one and he's like
oh i'm surprised you didn't stay i couldn't hold him with the messages i had about the
crusade for you oh well yes that is why i am here let us discuss this shall we rivette
okay well i suppose i suppose i could start telling you things i would what do you want to know
what has the crusade fleet exactly told us
well uh primark's making their way here going to pass through here at some point
it's a real important system also uh reeb's going to look extremely startled through here
no no they're coming through this system they're going they're going to pass by through some point
also he sort of leans in towards you
i got a message from him
him who
inquisitor friend
wait the lord inquisitor
and he looks at you and there's just this
and then it fades to black um as a few days pass
oh boy
and
and
you you are now approved
approaching like actually yeah probably yeah a few days as you are making your way through the
voyage towards the the last known coordinates of the carillon you are you are floating in a deep
space i'll just use this one as a placeholder uh at this point you've all met on the strategium
zedek has been told by lieutenant ransom that you are about to discover where this ship is
your sensorium operators
captain zedek are reporting in turning around one of them has a sort of chipper voice
captain captain i'm detecting a vessel
is this the vessel in question
i don't know it's it's it's moving
it's coming it seems to be coming towards us
take evasive maneuvers just in case
yes yes captain um it seems to be moving straight towards us
um i might be able to get an i dent on it
do so hail them if they are answering
i'm not getting anything captain not yet they're making their way towards us though
uh they're big too i'm guessing at least a cruiser size
a cruiser
oh no
it's okay
you're doing alright
yeah
everyone doing as this discussion is happening?
I would be on the sensors.
I assume I'm on the bridge, just
watching. Oh, yeah.
Do you have long-range visual on anything?
Nothing
that's been brought up. The
Auspex and Sensorium person
is attempting to bring up
information and get information.
Can we get a visual representation of this ship?
I'm working on it.
You're not
giving it all you've got!
I've got it, Kev!
Um, I...
Identity, um...
I've got a
response here.
It's...
It's... The Marengo
is the identifier.
The Marengo?
You know the name of that ship,
Zedek. You know
who it belongs to.
Lecoq.
Lecoq.
Everyone hears
just the mutter
of Lecoq on the bridge
as no one else speaks.
Lecoq!
Lecoq has arrived.
And then
the visual comes up on the
feed.
As this
immense cruiser
begins maneuvering
towards you, you can see
it has these beautiful
stained glass windows
just atop its
prow. This ship hasn't even
raised any of its shutters, or
even seems to be in any kind of
offensive position. It's
just flying towards
you.
What a very
pretty ship. Shut up!
Oh, sorry. It's not a pretty ship.
It is garish and tacky. It lacks
all substance and style and respect
for the era it was built in.
Okay.
It's like...
Yes. Captain, I'm
detecting another ship.
What?
It looks like the Marengo's
positioning itself between us and the
other ship.
I'm getting a...
I'm getting a
declaration from the Marengo.
It seems...
Wait, wait, wait. I've got an ID
on the Hulk ship, sir.
It's the Carillon.
Oh, bloody hell.
Oh, the Marengo. It's
put out an update.
Something about
salvage rights.
And that
is where we are going to end
today's episode.
Hooray!
Hooray!
Thank you.
Thank you, Thurston, for an amazing
story today. I'd like to say
thank you to the wonderful players
who make this kickass every
day, starting off with
Piebrain, Oscar Toy Ranger
played by Speaker D.
Yes, I am Speaker D.
You can find me on Twitter,
at SuperSnakeKick. You can find me on
YouTube as Speaker D, though
I don't post much there. And
I love you
all! Okay, that's it.
I'm Quisitorio Acolyte,
our amazing medicator,
played, revamped horn,
played by Erindil.
Yeah, you can find me on Twitter
at Erindilio, and nowhere else.
Don't try to find me. I don't exist.
I will not reciprocate any messages.
Thank you. I enjoy you all.
I have been Zoran the Bear
playing the Sanctum Scyther, Lorne,
and our illustrious
Captain Zedek, Captain of
the debt collector ship that we are on,
our rogue trader, played by
Hulky Crow.
That's me. You can find me at
Hulky Crow on Twitter. I sometimes
post funny things, but not often.
And sometimes on
Zoran's Discord server, which you should definitely
join, because he has a wonderful community, and you would all
be part of that.
And thank you, Thurston,
and Hillman, for game mastering
another amazing session. We thank
you a lot,
actually. Thank you for putting all
the work in, man.
Thank you, everyone. You can find me on
the social medias at OnCallGM.
Also, I'm gonna
pimp some things that I had
released recently. For Wrath and Glory,
the Forsaken System
Player's Guide has been released,
and the PDFs, and I contributed to that,
so it has a whole bunch of
new classes and stuff,
and I wrote the whole system for downtime,
which I think we might actually end up using in this
campaign. And in fact, we might find out
what our players were doing for downtime last session.
Also,
Chemical7 just announced Litanies of the Lost,
which is like an adventure
booklet, so it's a product
that has a whole bunch of adventures in it, and my
adventure in that, Valve Silence, was
just released as well. So if you pre-order it,
you get my adventure, where you go to
a monastery, and nothing bad happens,
because it's a monastery in 40k, and nothing bad
would ever happen there. So yeah,
that's cool stuff I have coming out,
and I'm pretty excited about that, but otherwise, I'm
excited to GM
for these chuckleheads, and
you will not believe where
our story is going next. It's
gonna be pretty great.
With that, everyone, if you all wish to begin
to say goodbye,
goodbye. We will all
see you next week. For those of you on Patreon,
we have the Warhams Fantasy Test episodes.
They will be coming up
in between these major episodes,
so please tell everyone that we exist. That really, really
helps us out. If you ever want to
help out the show, just literally go into
your discords, literally go on to, like, Reddits,
or literally going anywhere
that you mostly talk, and
with your 40k communities, or communities in general,
tipped up RPGs. Tell them we exist.
Tell them where to find us. Tell them where we start.
Et cetera, et cetera.
We'll be getting an updated schedule on Twitter
and everything else as well, and also
Orc episode coming
soon. Coming soon!
Tell your friends!
Stay tuned to our Twitters for updates
and everything else. See you all
next week.
