Fallout_ The Roleplaying Game Campaign Episode 3
===
[00:00:00] [00:01:00] [00:02:00] [00:03:00] [00:04:00] [00:05:00] Welcome back to TTA. We are on episode three of the Fallout 2D20 system. Uh, if you haven't watched episode one and two, maybe go do that, but otherwise, uh, we'll give you a recap. First of all, hi, I'm your game master, Val. I use any pronouns, and I'm gonna shoot it on over to my players.
Yeah, please. We can't keep doing this. Sorry. Uh, I'm, I'm David. He, they. Oh, I'm N. Uh, they, they. They, them. They, they. They, they. They, they. I'm Ryan, he, him. I'm Rachel, she, her, and I'm doing the recap today. Yeah, tell us what happened, Rachel. Okay, so- Here in beautiful Arcadia, Florida ... beautiful [00:06:00] Arcadia, Florida, we went and we investigated General Dre's Fun Croc Experience.
We killed some molotops, and I got a hat. It's very important to me. Uh, we had a fun croc experience where we met a, uh, got to see a gator claw. You did have fun. I did. I did have fun. It was a kinda, you know... They didn't have enough enclosure space, but you know, it's, it- Immediately. Animal rights has gone downhill since the bombs went off.
Um- A fan and a heater ... exactly. They had no mister. Uh, we went upstairs as, uh, the game led us to, and we met a death claw, uh, who was also could speak. How crazy. They weren't from, they weren't from the same schools, though. They didn't, uh, know each other, which is fine, because it led us to Eve, a mysterious ghoul who was, who holed up in the park, and it was the one sending us all the postcards.
Whoa. And now we're deciding how to head into Millennium Park to investigate Infini- the Infinitowns underneath the park. [00:07:00] Really quick- ... since we've brought up them as, like, being enclosed animals that need to be, like, misted, do you guys think death claws shed their skins like other reptiles? Absolutely.
Completely, yes. So, like, you're just wandering and you come across these, like- ... massive, like, loose- That's a lot of snake skin ... it's like a tumbleweed. It's like wa- It's, like, bouncing across. Well, leopard geckos eat it- It's slimy ... so maybe you eat it. Maybe. Maybe- Yeah ... if they're not all around, maybe just- So-
om, om, om, om, om, om. Just lick their own eyes. Exactly. Yeah. Please insert. So, uh, you guys had just finished having a conversation with Eve. Uh, you kinda got barraged by all of this information. She has a bunch of stuff to do with the Infinitown, which is, um, one of the few successful, like, shelter models that wasn't Vaults.
Um, so, you know, valuable information she has. She wants you to go, like, vibe check the situation with the Infinites. Um, and you're kinda thinking on that 'cause this weird ghoul lady from California just, [00:08:00] like, sent you anonymous postcards and asked you to do this errand for her. Yeah. Uh, so it's something to reflect upon as you, uh, exit out of the tunnels, not the way once you came, so you don't have to deal with, you know, the, uh, big gator claw that's not as friendly as your- That was a problem, yeah
other death claw friends here. Um, I'm going to assume at this point you have come topside into, like, the outskirts of Arcadia to figure out what you wanna do.
Well, that was interesting. Well, that just happened. I mean, even if, you know, we don't really do what she says, we still should probably figure out what's going on around here. I mean, I'm always down for a visit to the park, I suppose. Honestly, anything better than being in the, the basement sounds really fun to me.
Yeah. I mean, are the Infinites, like, [00:09:00] anti-mutant at all, or...? I, I, I know personally I'm anti-Gatorclaw, so that's why I wanna go upstairs. Okay. Well, I g- I guess I'm just, you know, asking for later. Do we, do we know that or...? I, I... We could find out. Oh, no. And I- Do you have experience with them? Usually find- They're not huge fans of ghouls, but it's not...
I don't know if it'll be a, to, a problem. They, they... The park's open to everybody, with some asterisks. Most places are. Okay. We could give it a shot. Call you a service animal. Oh. Oh, my God. I really hate that. I mean, they're a service bot. The vibe of that feels very different. I, uh, it sounds very like a I don't know the word I'm looking for.
Um- See, how do you want to approach it? You could come with us as a, uh, I don't know. [00:10:00] I'm not sure how they'll come f- how they'll perceive a death claw in our company, but we could always just try it. Which one- Can we do good cop, bad cop? I could- I've always wanted to do a good cop, bad cop I assume you wanna be the good cop, though.
No, I wanna be- Oh ... bad cop. Really? Yeah. I'm so proud of you. I don't think any of us could be the good cop if you're the bad cop. I'll, I'll be bad cop. I can do my best. I mean- And you'll be good cop. I can do it. I don't know about that. And you- Okay. And you two are ruffians. Ruffians. Ruffians. We're gonna play the easy way, okay?
So you had that suit, and they were carrying you on a leash. I could put you on a leash and I could be the suit. Yeah, I could snap your neck right now like a twig, but- ... you know, that's not gonna- I'm just, I'm, I'm just b- gonna give this a try. That's awful violent for you. Yeah, that's- Is everything okay?
Sorry. Sorry. The idea of some, of, like, an actual person putting me on a leash was just the most disgusting idea in my head. Well, do you wanna put yourself on a leash? But, but you were, you were cosplaying that, though. Yeah, but me doing that for survival and [00:11:00] you doing that is very, very different. Me doing that to a sentient thing I am control- or not a, a non-sentient, like, robot that I'm controlling with a controller in my mouth is very different from you putting me on a dog leash.
That's weird. Do you wanna- My sentience is highly debated. Do you wanna be- I could hold you. Travis, too, could bring you in. You know what? Let's just walk in the front door. They'll just be another robot. Let's just walk in the front door. I'm everyone's friend. I, I'm down. If they don't shoot at you, then that's probably a good sign, right?
We could... Do you want- I like this plan. Do you want us to come in here, you bring up the back just in case? Like, hey, how does it go? It doesn't really matter. Let's just do- Let's just go. Let's just go. Let's just go. You know what? I like it. There, there's no way to find out unless we do it, right? No time like the present.
Exactly. Let's go. Exactly. We're gonna need caps if we want tickets to get in, though. Or a plan. There's ticket, there's ticket prices every year keep going up, and up, and up. You need to get those E-tickets. [00:12:00] We need to get our passes. Gotta get the passes. The speedy pass, legally distinct. We could ask politely.
Uh, wait, I don't even know what the going rate of tickets is now, but we, yeah, that's... We, maybe we can sell our goods. We'll be fine. Let's go. See if there's any work they need done. Ooh, something need doing. I don't know if they'll take snake skins as payment. I don't have any snake skins. Oh, we jumped them.
They jumped up- Yeah. Right, I forgot you jumped them ... and fought them off. Well, I don't know if they need help hunting snakes. Hmm We'll find out. We'll find out. Walk, walk, walk, walk, walk. Before we, like, move on- Uh-huh ... Travis, like, like, takes Charlie aside. Hey son, how you doing? Hey, um- So back in the tunnels- Mm-hmm
I, I made a very uncharacteristic, uh, uh, flaw in judgment trying to take on- ... that, [00:13:00] that thing on my own. Um, and like, I probably could have got it with another shot, but like, I guess in a way you kinda saved my life. So, um- If you think about it. In a sense ... I just, I've never, I've never told you this before, but I've always seen you as something of a father figure to me.
So I just wanted to say thanks for saving my life and all. I put my arm around- You guys have known each other for two days. And this is my son. Put my hand on, on Mister- on, on some part of your spiritual form. Yeah. I'm like, "You know, I believe that you think you could've done it, and I'm, I'm proud of you for taking it on head on."
"And I'm really glad I was able to drag you through that hole and away from certain danger. I got you." Thanks so much. "I got you." I'll get him next time. You will, tiger. You will. And I give him a little touch. So was the, was, was the horse thing out of line or...? Horse thing out of line? Yeah, where, when I kind of [00:14:00] scooped you up.
Oh, no. That was so optimal, so optimal that like I, not gonna lie, I was, I was thinking about like getting me like a saddle or something. To ride your back on- But, but, but- And Zarek has walked forward. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Zarek is like totally gone. No, no, no, don't put your saddle on me. Uh, it's what- uh, all right.
Talked about saddling you, didn't he?
I'm going to kill them. It's, it... No, no. We're a team. We're a team, you can't kill them. I thought it was voluntary. I thought- I think it was a spur of the moment thing- It was very rough on me ... I think it was all, it was, it was very- Oh no, spurs. I would like to get off this. It was very rough on my legs, and I just, you know- Whoa.
Um, I assume you're walking. We are walking as we do this, yeah. Yeah. Probably making a scene, but- You know, um- The area sort of directly around Arcadia, there's walls. Um, it's a little quieter over here than when you're further [00:15:00] away where there's more, like, you know, raider activity, wanderers. But you get that sense that, like, that's 'cause someone somewhere is, like, watching you.
You don't necessarily, like, see them, but- Yeah ... there's a reason probably that it's quiet over here. Eventually you would come upon sort of a... This is, like, I think, like, a pretty standard wasteland. Like, barbed wire fence, rusted out, spikes everywhere, weird crackling at points, and then there's just, like, this very brightly painted, like, fantasy spire.
Oh. Um, looks like it's somewhat upkept as much as they can, you know? And it says, like, "Millennium Park", and there's, like, a castle on one side and a rocket ship on the other, and Armadillo Art is waving over there. And, uh, there's a couple of little Securitrons. Is that the one I want? Protectrons?
Securitrons. Protectrons. Oh, okay. The ones that... The, the dome ones. The dome ones. I was going over this, like, all day. I'm like, "Protectrons. Securi- Protectrons." Okay. The dome ones. Um, [00:16:00] curves. They got curves. Um- How many? Only a few really. Honestly, just the one. That's not enough. Pass. Really, if I'm being honest, the one.
Um, I can find a picture of it for our non-Fallout heads here at the table, not that anyone here is not a true Fallout fan. I think the Securitron part of it- I am the one who resides that. Uh, Protectrons. These little guys. Ah. Oh, those guys. Those guys. The little guys. There's a couple of these and, like, a couple dudes with them at the front.
Kind of, these are guards. They're posted to, like- Are they painted? Hmm? Are they, like, painted to be, like, the colors, uh, Securitron lights or- Uh, they have, they have little ears on them actually. Yes. Yes, I did write this in the notes. Uh- Yes ... they have little armadillo ears on, and they are painted. Like, they've got, like, the little sheriff star that- Oh, armadillos have ears.
Hold on. Yes. Are, are these original to the pre-war park, or- I don't think you would've seen them a ton. Oh. Like, they came out when there was a kerfuffle. Hmm. But yes, they are original. Nice. Oh, that's what they're- We look... Are... Is this the first time you've [00:17:00] looked at an armadillo? No, I, no, I Googled the word.
I forgot what armadillos- Yes. Their ears looked like specifically. They're cute. And then I Googled the word armadillo and the word... Or, and then it auto completed to armadillo eggs, and I was like, "What is this? Where is this going?" Where are we going? It's, it's apparently a dish. Are they- It's like a barbecue thing.
They're not m- No, they're not. Are they lizards? The, the container. Nope, they're not. No, no. This is- Wait. No, this is- It's the container. Yeah. We can't go down this road. Yes. This is, this is a ba- this is basically a bacon wrapped jalapeno popper is what it is. Oh, oh. It's like a food. Understood. They're not like a platypus or anything- They're not.
Like, just- Which is- I got a little excited ... would be dope. Not a monotreme. Not a monotreme, folks. I apologize. Now what's the point of any of this? What's the point of any of this? Well, it's just platypuses and echidnas. What are we even doing here? Um, the guards will kind of, like, eye you as you walk over. I tip my hat.
Excuse me. Are you looking to come in? Of course. We're, uh, looking to s- We're doing some sightseeing. Wanted to have a fun day with the family [00:18:00] at the park. Yep. Are- I- Don't worry. It's just a deathclaw. Oh. Yeah. I hold my hand out. My name's Eric, good to meet you. Ah. And they're like, "Oh." Uh, uh, uh. Do you, do you have the claws?
Okay. Yeah. Oh, that's horrifying. Why wouldn't I have the claws? Like, do you, like, trim them down or file them? He got a little mani. No. So, uh, you're just coming for- It's actually cruel to declaw deathclaws. Just coming for a visit? Yeah, we're just gonna do, uh, do the rides. You know- Oh ... bring him to the gift shop of course, uh, go to the- Do you guys have any, like, clean water and stuff?
Like traders or anything come around here? We have, we have souvenirs. All right. Um- So check those out. Let me see if- Souvenirs. S- There should be a tour starting soon that's, uh, gonna be 10 caps a person. That's fine, 'cause that's what I have. 10 caps. 'Cause I bought this cool cap. I do, I do have 10 caps, I'm pretty sure.
Do you have caps? Yes, I have 10 caps. Great. I have [00:19:00] five. Oh. Um- Um, I believe service animals get in free They like pause and they like turn around, and there's a big list of like pre-war rules about the park. And they're like, "Huh. Yeah, I guess so." Yeah, I need- It doesn't come up. I need them. What service does it provide to you?
Protection vi- uh, bodily. Okay. Well, we don't allow weapons in the park. Do you have like some, I don't know, mitts you can put on them? Giant mitts. I, uh, I can hold the hand. I s- I, I can sign- I feel safer when I do ... I s- I can sign a waiver. Yeah. They start whispering. Also, these are attached to me, and I wave my like- Oh
flamer and autostol. Hmm. Okay. It's also very cruel to de-claw your deathclaws. Yes. Like some mittens. I mean, um- Can you put a mitten over that? You guys are gonna find... 'Cause like those little dog booties, like- Yes. [00:20:00] I have multiple hats. And I have some formal clothing. Can you put the mitts over- Can you put like the hats...
Yes. I can put two hats. Let's just- I can think the hats. Do you have like foam fingers? Like the, the, the... I have formal clothing I can fashion. Uh, oh, yes. Gift shop. We got the armadillo art gloves. Yeah. Oh, perfect. I can put them right on. Yep. We'll put those on. Great. So if you would follow me. I slip one over one claw and it just breaks through.
Zap. Okay. Um- And I kinda like put them behind my back and go, "Fit fine." Fit great. Can you do a- ... a speech plus sneak for me? Or a charisma plus, plus sneak? Okay. So that's four plus one. Oh, that's, that's very nice.
You did this. Yeah. Yeah. Because they have to. Oh my God, he rolled in a two. Oh, it's a two. Oh, it's a one.[00:21:00]
Oh my goodness. I should say, as you went, "You did this," you, like, stopped the die on the two. It was pretty beautiful. Do- do you want ... I mean, I can re-roll it if you want me to. No, no. Please, no. Please. Um, Please, God. Please. Okay. Uh, that's probably fine. You've got that one covered. Yes. Uh, and I will need the rest of your weapons.
All right. Uh, this is tire iron- Oh, classic. ... machete, my hunting rifle, and my pipe gun. Uh, if you are ch- choosing to keep any weapons on you, basically, you will have to make some sort of roll. I ... In Fallout, knuckles are a concealed weapon. Um, but yeah, I do have, um- Um, for lower difficulty again? I'll keep my, I'll keep my knuckles.
Okay. I will keep my Molotov cocktails, and I'll actually- ... attempt to keep my, um ... My tire iron will probably be easier to- Conceal? ... hide and conceal, so I'll keep it. Yeah, I would say those are both, like, difficulty one checks for those. Okay. 'Cause they're not, like, trying to hide a whole, like- Yeah. ... revolver under your shirt or [00:22:00] something.
Yeah. Or a rifle. Or- Yeah, but my p- Yeah, you're just trying to hi- hide an entire bottle of vodka with a towel sticking out of it. Buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh. It's for the baby. It's for the baby. Three and a four, so it's a pass. Nice. Yeah, four and an eight, so. Cool. Yeah. No, we're good. Um- What ... We should have tried, like, talking to them.
If only one of us had a high charisma or something. I do. One of us, yeah. If only one of us did. I got an eight or a nine. I'm not that high, but I got ... So, uh, they'll be leading you in at this point. It's like a little, you know, little tunnel thing. It's got old pre-war pictures of the park. Very, like, yellowing.
But, um-
The, one of the security guards is walking you in. A lot of like, "We're gonna put you with a tour guide. Make sure you stay with them at all times. Don't go wandering off in the park. That will alert any of our Securitrons. Protectrons, my God." They don't have Securitrons. Hi, David. How's it going? I, um- It's fine.
It's [00:23:00] fine? It's fine. I'm corrupting you with ultimate power. Yeah. No, it's- No, please tell me. What, what's on your mind? Nothing's on my mind. Please. I'm thinking of Mr. Fisto the Protectron, if you must know. I love Mr. Fisto. Um- Don't ask what he does. I, I just wanna say a quick aside to Travis to like, "Hey, do you know where they would put our weapons?"
Um- In your, in your maps in your robot brain. I think probably I would have an idea of where- You're like walking by lockers I think at this point. Like, yeah, like pre-war, like yeah, this is where any like confiscated items or anything that, you know- Okay. If we need to- Would be taken ... we need to find them again, if something happens.
I don't know if they still do that. I mean, I... Not that I know- Like one of the Protectrons is walking over and like putting your guns in a locker. Perfect. Who's to say? Who's to say? Who's to say? Who's to say where they could be? I'd like to ask Travis too. Do you think the Slushee machines still work? I mean, you know, maintenance was always a little irregular on that.
Hi. So- Hi. Hi, I'm Peggy. Hey, Peggy. Um- Do the, [00:24:00] do the Slushee machines still work?
Hi. Hi. Hi.
Yeah. Yeah, sure. It's like, what am I, it's like a chameleon? Hi. Hi. Yes. Um, it was very, like... She's got big smile, uh, red lips. She's got like, um- Hmm. Uh, uh, this like curly orange hair, and she's got a very like well-kept, uh, Millennium Park like color block, like y- yellow or, um, cream and teal, like, very Main Street, legally distinct-
uh, outfit on. I'm gonna be your tour guide. Are you guys excited? We're so excited, Peggy. Are there slushies on the tour? We can stop for slushies. Yeah, yeah. All right. Yeah, I'm fine. Okay. I've never had a slushie before. Yeah. I've never been on a- It's an experience ... tour before- Can- ... that wasn't... Yeah Can your service animal eat slushies?
They can, yes. Okay. I really appreciate you asking. And- You know, how many [00:25:00] people just hand them- Hey, you can ask me. That's true. You can ask them. That's fine. Okay. Yeah. Um- I'm like sentient and like fully aware- ... and stuff like that. I'm like a person. Great. Let's start the tour. Um, so you walk in past this tunnel.
It is... Again, it's like kind of very out of time. Um, it's not like... I think it's weird for those of you that have been and have not been, because for those of you that have not been, this is like nothing like you've seen in the wasteland. There are bright colors. Things are more or less not covered in rust or, um, landmines-
or falling apart. Yeah. Um, for you guys, like- ... it's clearly not- Everything's- ... in the repair that it would be if it was not the apocalypse. You know, things are just a little dingy. Half of it is closed from what you can see. Like, most of the buildings as you walk in, the rides that you can see look like half of them aren't running, you know?
Oh, Mr. Deathclaw's [00:26:00] Wild Ride is closed. The Deathclaw, the Deathclaws in the, before the nuclear apocalypse. The Deathclaws? Dang it. That didn't exist until like- Dang it ... the day before the apocalypse happened. It was renamed. It was renamed. It was renamed. It was renamed, uh, and then closed. And then closed immediately.
You know, a lot of like- I like the idea that Deathclaws are named after a guy whose last name was Deathclaw. Eugene Deathclaw, yeah. You know, there's efforts to make like the things that you can see look really good. Like the- Oh ... the statue of Ali and Ar- that is like pristine. The buildings are painted to the best...
But like, as you look at it, you know, again, half of it's closed, kinda things that are just behind a corner are falling apart, but there is an attempt here more so than anything else you would see. Yeah. Millennium magic, as they say. I see why the Maltos are interested in this place. This place must just be loaded with loot.
Must be so much to smash and grab here. Huh? Maybe, maybe, maybe be a little quieter around the tour guide. What? Well, I mean- To- say, just say you [00:27:00] love slushies. I, slushies. Smash and grabbing some slushies. Yeah. That's what they call them. Smash and grab. Get slushies. They just- Is that what they call it? ... smash and grab.
You know you do. Thanks. I haven't heard that. Well, let's smash and grab some slushies- ... and then- Excellent. Um, so yeah, you all be led into, like, there is a gift shop at this point, and you remember, like, this whole, like, legally distinct, Large Street. It's called Large Street. Love that. Large Street. Love that.
Um, it used to all be shops and, you know, attractions. There's this one shop that has very small amounts of, like, what's left of pre-war merch, a slushie machine- Oh, yes ... uh, big foam gloves- Oh, yes ... hats. You, you know there's, like, the big, like, uh, Armadillo Art ears. Ooh. There's- Oh, oh, oh. It's mostly a lot of Armadillo Art merch.
You're notably noticing someone is very absent from this lineup. That's very interesting. Peggy, I gotta... Is Armadillo Art- Yes ... the only character at Millennium Park? I have a [00:28:00] very bad memory. Yes. No, there's, you know, the princesses. Of course. Uh, there's Armadillo Art's friend. I'm trying to think of any other animal that exists right now.
Um- God. Rattlesnake Pam? Don- don- Rattlesnake Pam. I'm sure Rattlesnake- When he was right there? No, that's why I didn't go for it. No. Rattlesnake Pam. Pam. Can't look at it anyway. Greg Goose. Greg Goose. We love Greg Goose. Greg Goose. Um, yeah, look, I got a Greg Goose, uh, hoodie. Oh, wonderful. Interesting. So those are the, those are the three.
Never wearing pants, these things. Those are the three. Huh. That is of note to me. Not that I would know anything about this, um, but w- wasn't there a salamander? Oh. Yes. Oh. I wasn't gonna mention it in case she's got a fan. You're a, you're a well-studied fan of Millennium Park. No, no, no, no. Don't put that on me.
Uh- No- ... Salamander [00:29:00] Slim is the profane child of Donny Millennium- ... and we don't recognize him here- ... in Millennium Park. They were just curious 'cause we, we noticed, uh, uh, a reference to them when we were- Yeah ... out at the park. We didn't, we didn't know. We'll visit, uh, Salamander Slim's defunct swamp if you would like to, you know- Do you guys- Oh, the swamp is still-
learn from the mistakes of the past. The swamp is still... I... Well, it's not open, but it's there so we can remember how, uh, Donny Millennium almost led us astray. Oh, boy. I mean, I love me some heresy. Well, let's- Let's check that out. Yeah, let's get some slushies and we can head right over. You all guess that they're...
I think they might be irradiated, guys. Guys, I- Well, let's just remain here ... think they might be irradiated. I'm chilling. Like- I'm good. I'm good. Yeah, you two are chill. Uh, these things are a green that feels uncomfortable. It's really only for them. They wouldn't- It's really only for you, Decker. I don't know if you're voting for this.
Oh, yeah, I know. That's, that's, uh, I f- I probably would try it. I don't know why I wouldn't. Sure. [00:30:00] Roll a, roll a damage die for me.
That's a boy. A boy? You get one radiation damage. Oh. Great. I w- that, that, that doesn't necessarily sound good. There's a little crackle on the way down. Yeah, it's a little fizzy. Sparky. While Decker's drinking the, the slushie, Travis kinda like floats up behind you. Yeah. He got ... H- hey friend. What is this?
That's a slushie. Okay. Um- It's certainly a flavor. Yeah, it tastes like, um, you know when you drink like pond water- Mm. Mm ... that like has been just like frothing up like all the way? It's like, it's like you scooped up the moss too. I don't have taste sensors, but I understand what you're trying to get across.
Okay. I feel like- Hey, so- Yeah ... you know how, like, I'm pretty awesome, and like- Yeah ... you're like the second most awesome person in this group? My son. I know. I know. [00:31:00] Like, the rest of them are kinda like nerds. No. Well- Oh, you're- I am a nerd ... you are, yeah. I mean- Yeah. Well, nerder-ds. Yeah, okay. So awesome in the sense of that w- we're actually gonna survive?
Yes. Okay. Speaking of surviving- Yeah ... if I was ever gonna do something that would make me less awesome- Yeah ... um, you'd stop me, right? Awesome like they're awesome, or like are awesome? Like, like real awesome, like we are. Like say if I was going to obliterate my personality to turn myself into a mindless fan of, oh, whatever this is.
You wouldn't let me do that, you would- I would not let you do that, no ... you would destroy me first. Yeah, of course. Great, thank you. In fact- And that's, that's a promise? Uh- Me you promise? Yeah. That, that's, that, that's, that's a promise. I would do- All right ... a blood bond, but like I- I don't have blood. Yeah.
Don't have blood. Can I take like a, can I take like a power cell or something? Squirt some flamer fuel.[00:32:00]
Oh. Okay. Well- Yeah ... let's keep going. Sounds good. Um, you are led down Large Street, um, to Armadillo Arts- I just ... uh, wacky western town, of course. Uh- Oh. Oh, and look who it is. There is in fact Armadillo Art in a mascot costume- Oh my god ... uh, in front of his little western town. Um- There's a person in the mascot costume?
Yes. I reach for my gun that isn't there. What the fuck? Do you guys wanna say hi? Howdy. Howdy, howdy Art. Uh, he like wobbles up to you to offer you a hug. You're not allowed to do it unless you say it's okay, so it's- But I w- want to. He gives you a, a warm hug. Oh. What is that? It's all right. It, it can't touch you unless you say it's okay.
I don't want you to touch me. There you go.
No. No, what is that? [00:33:00] You guys are okay with- It's an armadillo. No, no, it is an armadillo- Kilos, his head's out like- ... but what kind of radiation is that swimming in? Oh, that's right. Yeah, yeah, there you go. It's, it's a mascot costume. What is a mascot? It's actually an original costume from the pre-war. Wow. How do you guys clean it?
Hmm. Intermittently we do clean them. What is intermittently? Yes. Moving on. Does anyone wanna like- No, no, no. Wanna talk to Art? I, I s- I go, "Sure." And I walk up to the I'm gonna walk away. If you wave at me, we'll mercy kill you later.
I can also bring you, like, a water if you wave at me too
We can bring you like a wa- you seem hot in that costume. Do you want a water? Does somebody have a water? I have purified water. Okay. Do you want to give him a water? Just give him a water. Oh, [00:34:00] Peggy takes it away, like, uh, "Oh, no." No, no, you don't need that. Come on. She, like, tucks it in her bag. I have two. Roll a stealth.
You need to try to stealth behind this. I do. I need to. We need to make sure this man lives. Okay. Um, I ca- I hand- I am convinced now that that is a kid- like a, a guy they kidnapped. I hand you the water, and I'm gonna try and talk to Peggy.'Cause I am ta- I'm better with my talking than I am with, with sneaking.
Okay. So I'm gonna try and, I'm gonna try and talk to Peggy and distract them, and you can give the other water that I have, 'cause I had two. Don't worry, Art's fine. He's, you know, armadillos, they don't drink a lot of water, so it would be- Charisma plus speech. I had to- ... weird for him to try to drink that right now.
I need to- Why doesn't- Spend a luck point and do that again. Why doesn't Space Pope just take it? Can I do that? Can I- Is it gonna eat me? Or you have anything with like- Oh, never mind, I'll do this.
Yeah, 'cause- I am going to try to very subtly stuff the water. [00:35:00] Like, I, I w- I, I want to get it- Ooh ... in between the, like, crack of the mascot head and the body. Wait, we're doing a group check. Is there like a smoke ho- hole? A group check. No, that's for Salamander Slim. Come on. Oh, sorry. Sorry. Yeah, yeah. Um, we're doing a group check.
Oh. So how this works is you can make a one singularity 20 roll, unless we'd like to spend AP. Okay. I don't think we have any AP. We don't have any AP. Um, one singularity 20 roll of a relevant check of your choice, so this would be a, you know, charisma plus speech, probably. Okay. Yeah. Um, while you make your normal roll, your...
Perception plus sneak. Oh, you take one. You take one and I take one. Right? Okay. Or do, do, does he have two of them? He's rolling two. You're rolling- You're rolling. Okay, so- You are assisting him. Um- I would like one dice please. I don't have the other dice. Oh, j- So is this what it's supposed to do? Ooh, I want this one.
Uh, perception plus sneak. No. What else would you like it to be? It's gotta be sneak. It's gotta be sneak. So, well, okay. Ooh. Okay. Yippee. Can't... No, it [00:36:00] can't be endurance. Then yeah, perception. All right, so that's a s- I have to roll under a six. Okay. Oh. Oh. Well. Oh, no. Okay. Well, so the good news is it was difficulty one.
Okay. And you did- I did pass that time, yeah. Um, I don't remember if you need a single success. She- Like some games do that. I have, I have, I have another luck point. I'm tempted to use it. I haven't used any luck points. I'm at, like, I think this will bring me out of- Oh, you know what? I totally forgot. Hey, we should refresh those now that you're in the park.
Okay. Okay. You're in the park, have your luck points back. Woo. So I'm, I'm gonna burn one then. Just, just do the... Okay. Well, you know what? God has decided this man will d- this man will die. He will die. Uh, I'm trying to figure out if Rachel's success counts if you flubbed it. If you just, like, really whiffed it.
Please think of this as one of us. Does my success ever count? Well- It just doesn't. It's all right. I have a question for God. Why? Why? Um- Uh, let me... Yeah. [00:37:00] Do we wanna... We, we, did we have to buy the three D- the- Yes, you have to score at least one success of your own for Rachel's to do anything. Ah. We should've, we, we should've had to buy additional D20s before- The roll
we rolled. Yeah. Okay. Well, it doesn't matter, so I failed to begin with, so. Well, you were doing a luck re-roll, so that's a d- that's a good point All right. I try to talk to Peggy. Uh, can you tell me more about, uh, that building there? That's a very interesting- Oh, that's, that's closed. Okay. That's closed. Hey, hey.
Oh, man. Armadillo Art will have a drink later. I- Please. Peggy, Peggy, Peggy, please. This is, um, this is why he's sentient, okay? You see, it's, uh, it's part of his, like, programming per se, that you feel the need that when they sense l- lack of hydration, they have to force it onto other people. It's one of the- I can talk to animals.
It's one of the things I'm trained f- uh, I, I trained them for 'cause I, I don't drink my water. I know, I know Armadillo Art is very thirsty. I [00:38:00] don't drink my water. So, um, in order to keep his temper down, just let him hand over the- Right ... the, the water. Oh, um, o- okay.
You wouldn't... Trust me, this is, uh, this- Probably not. I'm surprised they let him in. Yeah. But okay. Yeah, you can give him the water. That's fine. Okay. That's, that's fine. I, I, I hand it, I, I hand it to the armadillo. And I, I go- You hear, like, breathing. I go- It's just like, ha, puts a whole water bottle in, like, the mouth.
Um. A- as I'm wa- as I'm... I, I lean forward and I go, "If they have your family- ... wave at us as we leave. We'll find them." All right, let's go look at the swamp, since you wanted to see that for some reason. I would love to see the swamp. Come on. We just wanna see heresy. Yeah, I'd love some heresy in the morning.
Okay. Well, so- We, [00:39:00] y- we're a sinful bunch. We need a lesson. No, no we're not. We, we love looking at other people's heresy. No, like we need, we need a lesson. Like we need to learn. Oh, yeah, we, oh, we need a real- Sure ... we need a lesson real bad. This, you, you should see what this one does. Oh, I need to. Um, all right.
Well, let's keep walking. Uh, you walk past, uh, Armadillo Art's wacky western town. Kinda in the back corner there's this also similarly themed swamp area. There's, like, kind of out of place, most of the closed buildings, which just had signs are like, "Closed." There's just, like, barbed wire around the swamp. Uh, it's a little shack that would...
You remember. You were here all the time. This is where Salamander Slim did most of his little meet and greets. Yeah. Uh, it's like- Kind of just been left, like it's in notably more disrepair than the rest of the park. Like it's still standing, but you know, being in this slightly irradiated water for years has, um, definitely taken its toll on this.
Uh, yeah, this is, uh, Salamander Slim Swamp. It is closed. It is untouched as a reminder of the mark of the [00:40:00] false leader, Donovan Millennium. Um, yeah, after Ollie's death, he strangely decided that instead of leaving, uh, the park to his chief infinite, Arlo Vickery, he would leave it to Donovan Millennium. And, uh, she only cared about making money on the park.
She made this strange salamander, uh, and kept Infinitown out of the hands of the other infinites, meaning that we can't run it to this d- Oh, sorry, I'm... Okay, I think we're done here, right? You seen it? I, I think it sounds like a, a, a whole heck of a lot of heresy and I'm so sorry that you have to deal with that.
This is, uh, yeah, this is a scar on the history of the park. Here it is. I'm glad you wanted to see this as the first thing. Oh, uh. We'll get the, get the bad out of the way first, right? Sure, yeah, yeah. It's only up from here. Yeah. So wait, is- All, all up ... is, is this guy like a, like, like a god to you or? Ollie?
Yeah. Well, he's like- Or is he just like a guy? He's a, he's... I wouldn't [00:41:00] say a god, but he's not like just a guy either. He's, you know, he made the park, he gave us structure and form and rules and ideas and hope to follow- Okay ... after the end and in the new beginning. And he really, you know, he just sort of, he really set us up here.
Yeah. No, I get it. Despite Donny's attempts to take that away from us. Uh, okay. Sure. See kind of like a spark from Travis. She goes, "In a way, he's my god." Interesting. Nope. Not gonna, not gonna analyze that at all.
You. You. You. I think through this conversation, like, you have those normal, like, weird feelings about Ollie that you always get that's like, "Ollie, yeah, he's pretty cool." Um, you have, like, similar but different [00:42:00] feelings towards this Arlo Vickery gentleman that keeps coming up. There's a sort of, um, there's a sort of feeling of...
Hmm. Can I make you make a check on this? Ooh. A feeling. A feeling. Uh, perception plus, I don't know what, like, internal feeling, touchy-feely stuff would be in this game. Um- Like will? Can I make a will check? Perception- Strength ... plus, um- Strength. But roll charisma saving throw. Energy weapon. No. Um- Throwing.
Throwing. Survival. I guess just survival, yeah. Perception plus survival. Okay. Perception, survival. Perception, survival. Survival. Um, doo, doo, doo. I'm reading things. Yes. Okay
Yeah, I think I have a... Sorry, I remember, 10, that's the number. Oh, that's actually pretty good. Uh, survival's one of my tag skills. I would think so, yeah. There you go. Nice. [00:43:00] Um, so that is four successes. Yeah, you can have three AP on that. Woo. No, no, no, no. Uh, yeah, pretty, the feeling that you feel when, uh, Arlo's name comes up is very similar to what you were feeling when you just had your, like, big speech to Charlie
So that's, that's there Uh, Peggy is just, like, marching on past. Um- You doing okay? Yeah. Um, what do you know about Arlo? I mean, they were around when I was around, but I, I, I was, I was a grunt. I wasn't hanging out with the bigwigs. Very much like the number two to- Yeah ... Holly. Yeah. Um, and I think if you were around when Holly died, which would've been about nine years before the war- Yeah
you would know that it did send sort of shock waves when Holly was like, "Actually, my estranged daughter, um, is gonna be in charge of the park." Yeah. I know that it was a lot of [00:44:00] disappointment. Ugh. I mean, I didn't really like the guy. Uh, I, I, I ended up benefiting a lot because that he created Salamander Slim was a pretty great move for me.
Mm-hmm. I had gone from being just a slushy guy- Yeah ... to being in a suit. A suit. I think... I've never felt like this before, but I, I, I feel like Arlo's kind of a father figure to me. You've got two dads. You've got two dads. Dads and moms flying everywhere. I, I... That's gotta be a complicated feeling. They're not around right now, and you need to talk about it?
I, no. No. Talking about feelings is lame. It's- Oh, look, everybody, it's Art's Shooting Gallery. Oh, perfect. Um, so this is an old carnival game. Uh, as you remember, you know, it was very much like big plastic guns and, like, targets. [00:45:00] There are just, like, straight up, like, pistols set out on the table- ... um, to shoot little targets that are, like, various little, like, plywood baddies, you know.
Like, like- You gotta shoot that one. I can shoot these too now? Don't bother just- Don't bother shooting any of those. You gotta shoot that one. No, you gotta shoot the Salamander Slims. Oh, they've changed it. But you could win a prize. You wanna try? Would you be offended if I shot Salamander Slims? It's just to cap the light.
No, not at all. See. I understand. Now it's an amusement park, okay? You're amused now? I don't know what was going on before. A boy. Walking.
Uh, what are the prizes? Um- I'm not talking about games like this. They do this all the time. There's one over at Nuka-World. You guys know what Nuka-World is, right? Never mind. Legally distinct theme park. Yeah, we're aware of that. Do you have a feeling about it? No, it's, it's, it's cool that they did that.
Like a theme park? Yeah, it's cool that they [00:46:00] did that, just, like, a couple years after we opened. That was really cool of them to do that, and it... Y- yeah. Okay. It's really cool that they opened that theme park, like, just a few years after we opened Millennium Park a few... Yeah, it was cool of them. I've never been.
Good. Uh, it's a captive light. Uh, prizes. There's the, the pink foam gloves that he's wearing. There's, like, some plushies of the various characters, not Salamander Slim. Of course not. Um, and then there's just, like- clearly like they ran out of stuff, so there's just like food and water and such. 'Cause that seems like a good prize in this day and age.
There's just like cans of like meat. Love it. A man- a man dying- Snakes ... of thirst hits the ground and dies as he's missed the shot. Any snake skins? There is a plush snake of a rattlesnake fam. Like a plush snake skin. Rattlesnake fam. I- I can allow that. I would [00:47:00] like to play. All right, it's a cap to play. I- I will throw...
I'll throw two caps, one for- one for my cool, awesome friend and I. 'Cause we're a duo. Oh, you're gonna regret that. I'm gonna do so much better at this than you. What's this like... Oh, yes you are, unless there's an energy pistol. Uh, this is agility- This is just agility and small guns check. Perfect. I'm so good at both of those things.
So five. Great. Um, are... So is it like salamander slims? Is it like a... There are things that go by? Yeah, there's like rattling by. Cool. I feel like- And then are there the armadillos? Yeah, armadillos. I'm gonna blast all of them. Oh, god. I'm gonna aim for them. Okay. That's when I'm gonna hit them. Okay, great. Go ahead and aim for them.
All right, I'm gonna aim for the, uh, armadillos. Uh, uh, that's two natural 20s. Oh dear God. Oh my God. So I grab a loaded gun. You rolled two complications. There's a Persona reference here. You grab it and you just go...[00:48:00]
If Decker dies, Decker dies. Like, if it just like explodes in my face, I get it. It's what i- It's that one mod where like the barrel is on backwards, so it's just like, beh. Uh, go ahead and... What's the damage on this thing? Hold on. If it was an energy gun, I probably would've tried to grab like a plasma pistol 'cause that's the only thing I'm hitting with.
No, they're straight up just like- You know what they- ... 44 millimeter pistols sitting out here. You know what they say, hold the- 44 millimeter? Or whatever they are, I don't know. That's a grenade launcher. I don't know. You know what they say, hold the grip and the front- Yeah. ... just in case. It stops the recoil.
What is it called? It said .44. .44 or whatever the heck that was. .44 cal- Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So 44 millimeter. .44 pistol, that's what it says. Yeah, so a 44. Uh, oh great, this is a misfire. Watch your bullets. You roll six damage dice. I do. I just saw the original the other day, then I put them in. Oh, I hate it. I know, I love- I know [00:49:00] you like it
I- I love it. I love how much I hate it. And that's the one that gets to attack. That's a one. That's a one. Um, so I got two, uh, vicious, uh- Two vicious ... and then four hits. So six hits with two bullets. Can I borrow the thing that has the things- No, no. Nope ... that things do, please? Yeah. Thanks. Of course. This is why Rachel's my favorite Gold star.
Not you. Um, plus one damage for each effect roll. Okay, so how much damage was it with the vicious adding- So two shots... Oh, sorry, six shots and then two pips. Okay, so that's- 10. Oh my God. Hey, I- To, like, my face? I, what, what, what- Um, no, I rolled randomly. You do do 10 damage to Travis Too.
Oh. As you just completely, like... You double shot this thing. So that's my torso. [00:50:00] Travis Too, you hit yourself in the torso. I imagine the gun explodes. Like, I don't imagine- That's maybe- ... I actually just go, "Huh?" No, I rolled, you hit Travis Too. So my- Oh. In the torso. My physical damage resistance, I'm assuming- Yes
comes into play first. Yes. Okay, great. I'm not dead. That's great. I'm really glad. Um, I feel like you're gonna tell me an injury as well. Oh, yes, I do. Oh, did you not remember? As, as this is occurring, as... I, I think after the third shot- ... you, you, Zarek, like, pushes past you. The third shot? What do you think happened?
I'm trying to- You, it's four damage. This is like, wow. I'm imagining it's like ba-ba-ba-ba-ba. Like- I mean- I'm trying to imagine what happened in general. Yeah, I- Like, do I just shoot? I feel like you just fumbled it real bad. Like, you're just like... At, at this point, I, I push past the tour guide. Imagine he tries to, like, spin the gun.
You, like, lean in front of, like, "Hey." I turn, I turn to do the Cool Raiders spin. I shoot Travis- Straight in the torso. You do the, you do the cool Revolver Ocelot spin. Yeah. And you're [00:51:00] like... I do the 12 shots, like the first one- ... and one goes to him, one goes in my chest. I'll allow you to split the damage between you two if you really want.
Oh, I thought we were both taking it. Okay. No, no, no, no, no. No, no. As, as this is occurring, I, like, I- No, you're good. Okay. I, I continue my habit of shoving past NPCs- ... where I push the, the tour guide out of the way, and I start running over to Travis Too. So the thing about the torso injury is it doesn't really explain super well how it works outside of combat.
'Cause you're supposed to just keep taking damage every turn, but it doesn't really say what happens outside of turn. So I guess you're, uh, leaking, like, oil and such. Oh, oh, oh, yeah, you do have to be careful with those. Those are real guns. I want to roll- Don't worry, we have pool cue attachments, though. But-
injuries out of combat, who knows? I- I, I would like- Um, ooh, we should take you to, uh, ooh, hmm, I guess some first aid. What about the positrons? Do they have a repair bay or something? Yeah, we'll bring you to the robot repair guys. We'll get you, we'll get you fixed up. It's good. You're gonna be all [00:52:00] right.
Let's go. So these guns are very slippery. Um- I would like... This is- I am, I am not listening to you. I am holding Travis Too and, and pulling him away. Holding him like- I'm like, like, I'm literally like, "Ah, come on." You're gonna be all right, son. As we're going, Travis, like, uses his one pincer and, like, grabs you.
Yeah. Valid. Um, is like- If something more than repairing me happens- Yes ... finish the job. I, I'll probably do it by accident, huh? You got it. I heard you. Not that you can count on nothing else. You can count on nothing else besides your demise. It's okay. Yeah, um, Peggy's just like, "Okay, um, cool." You can fix him, right?
You signed those waivers at the beginning, right? I don't know. You- you were, right, you were already inside once. Uh, yeah, we did. Uh, oh, great, okay. You didn't expect to get shot at while you were in there. You didn't think a guy in there. That's in the waiver. That's in the waiver. Oh, my God. I just want to say, that's in the waiver, but that's okay.
Oh. Um, let's go. And she's just gonna, like, march along. You head over to, you know, uh- Securtron, isn't it?[00:53:00]
Millennium Planet, the little, like, futuristic area. Ooh. Um, you know, there's, like, a nice little rocket ship ride that's going around. There's the little tram that brings people around, and it's like the future. Oh. At this point, I'm full horsing it to wherever she's- Yeah, you're full horsing it. Uh, she takes you kind of, like, around a corner.
Again, as you go to these back areas, they're in, like, less repair. Um, and she will bring you to a, essentially, like, half robot storage, half robot repair room. I kick the door down. I'm horsing it. You got it. You got it. Um, there is a little, uh... Oh, my God, it's not Securtron. Protec- Protectron. Protectron.
Protectron. It's 'cause it's such a- Protec- ... hard word to say, Protectron. Protec- Secur- Securtron, it just rolls off the tongue better. It just flows beautifully. But we're not in New Vegas. Yeah. Yeah. We're in Florida, and it's no yes-man here. Mm. I brought this through, but there's, like, a, a [00:54:00] Protectron wearing, like, a little nurse hat.
And they're like, " Werk, werk, werk, werk, werk." Um, I will just assume that Protectron can make a roll to, like... I can do first aid on you, 'cause that's its job. Do you wanna get in there? I was thinking- No, no, no ... it would be really good imagery if, if I have ... I have Travis to on this table, and I'm commanding the Protectron like a nurse.
Yes. Yeah, you have your full, like- 24 quarts of oil. Your Grey's Anatomy moment. Yeah, so you are doing a r- House. No, the, Zarek is House MD. No. How dare you accuse me? He is not. Yes. I think no two characters I've ever been... Um, so it is intelligence plus repair. Okay. That's, uh, one of my tags, though, so- Okay ... I need to roll under a 12.
Two natural fives. Oh, my God. 18. That's a one. One. Uh, which, because it's repair, which is two successes. Yeah, I don't remember if the crit then also makes a third success. Either way, it's a lot of [00:55:00] successes. I'm just gonna say sure. You know, it's all me on the table. So success full. Um- So how many successes was that?
That was two successes. And if it's a third- I feel like it's... Uh, you have an injury, so it w- would be two. Okay. Okay, so that does the trick. Okay. And now I need to remember what you roll I think it's- I'll be back. It, for medicine, it's like, like they benefit whatever my medicine skill is. Uh, so- Hmm. Yeah, is this for- Yes
repairing robots bits we just swap out? What is your medicine skill? My medicine skill? Or your repair. Uh, my repair skill is four. Uh, so you heal four. Great. Uh, you are no longer actively just, like, leaking oil onto the floor. "Oh, all right. That was a... Hey, great job. I see why you're a support animal. They do great work."
"Thanks, Z." Z. Thanks. You're... You did something useful. I... Travis. See, they, [00:56:00] they... It was a compliment. I know. After, a- and that comment plus the supp- you watch as, like, Z grips this metal table so hard the metal begins warping in my hands. I was gonna say, I'm, Z did the one thing they didn't want to do, and they didn't murder.
They helped. It's been the whole point here, you know, the whole reason they didn't fight the Gatorclaws 'cause they want to help. "Well, so that was a crazy little sidebar we went on. Do you wanna continue the tour?" I, I... Can I roll, like, a perception? I wanna clock this room that they've pulled us into. Yeah, for sure.
This is the first, like- Yep ... on tour area. Oh, for sure, for sure. So, uh, do I get a prize?
Um- I think at that point I fully look at you and go, "No." She'll take out that bottle of- "Your prize is friendship." She'll take out that bottle of purified water that she, like, stole from you guys later- ... and, like, hand it to you. Cheers. Um, yeah, you can make a perception plus, I guess, survival. [00:57:00] Okay, so that would be seven.
Yeah. So that's a nine and a 19, so it's a solid no from me, pal. Yeah. Uh, do you know what? Nope. I'm, uh, I'm blind, actually. You can't see anything. Would Travis be familiar with this area? Uh, yeah. You know that this is- It didn't used to be so full of like half-broken robots and random scrap pieces. But you know kind of beyond the pile of broken robots, no need to like reflect on that too much, uh, there would be an entrance to like the staff areas, the staff tunnels that kind of run not into the actual town, but they get kind of close to it.
And there's- Ah ... there's stuff underneath the park. So that's, that's of note. Mm. There's, uh... Uh, uh, Peggy? Peggy? Peggy, hey. How's it going? Hey. You know- Really fun ... in, in all this kerfuffle- Mm-hmm ... I'm pretty [00:58:00] sure I left my souvenir armadillowees back at the, um, at the, at the shooting gallery there. Do you mind, uh, going back and get...
While we, while we make sure that our friend gets patched up- Ooh ... uh, just grabbing those for me? Because ah, I know that, that, I was really looking forward to bringing those home to- Charisma plus speech right? Absolutely. It's pure speech. Pure charisma. You can do it. You can do it. Have to get below a 10.
Have to get below a 10. I got an eight. And it's a tag skill, so that's, uh, another one? Yeah, I would say this was, I, I should've been announced it, difficulty two, 'cause you are just asking the tour guide to abandon the party. Yeah. Which is what she's not supposed to do. But she is a little mortified that one of you almost died under her watch.
Yeah. Um- Positive. Yeah. Uh, so she'll say, "Yeah, your souvenirs. You, you definitely had those. I remember now." I definitely did, yeah. "Oh my gosh, I will go find those for you. You guys just chill right here and, uh, don't go anywhere, okay?" Absolutely. Excellent, awesome. Uh, okay. Perfect. I'm gonna... We [00:59:00] lock this door, and we go downstairs.
All right. Okay. Um, the door is definitely locked. There's a lot of rolling happening. Woo-hoo. So- I just wanna, let's just punch it down. Anyone have lock pick or anything? You could do strength and athletics, or you could do agility and lock pick. I have a lock pick of two, however, I have an agility of four.
Ugh. I, my vote is, can I just strength and athletics just bang? Uh, yeah, you will probably upset the Securitron that's in here. Ooh, could you- Or the, the- The pos- The Protectron ... Securitron. My God. Do you wanna, uh, uh... How do we get through this one? I mean, they, they took my pry bar. What's your, what's your lock, what's your- I have my tire iron.
I was gonna say, what are the, what's our lock pick? What's your lock pick? I raise my knuckle, knuckle dusters. It's in the s- okay. What's- You think I- ... your lock pick score? ... care about something? Am I the only one who put anything in lock pick? Yes. Yes. You know, I guess- I, I, I- ... a skill that never comes up in Bethesda games.
I could try. [01:00:00] What is your agility? My a- my agi is five. I have a better chance of getting this than you do. Yes, you do. With your claws, with the gloves on. You know what? Okay, how about this? I- You should probably take the gloves off. That would add agility. I was gonna say, I was gonna say- ... um, Z like bites the gloves off, like, and like goes over and sticks a claw in the lock.
Okay, go ahead and roll. That's a nine and a 14. Ugh. So no. No. Oh. All right, yeah, I'm punching it down. Okay, great. At first you don't succeed- Uh, that's a, a strength- Okay ... plus athletics? Uh, y- yeah. So that's one success, two successes. Okay. Uh, you punch this door down. Uh, Nertys' Protectron is not very happy about that.
Is there any way you could persuade them to be happy with your robot skills? Uh, and it looks like they're- Oh, it's gonna attack us. Never mind ... they're gearing up to. You have a moment to be like, "Whoa," but, um, it will take action. Makes [01:01:00] sense. So, like, I can't attack before it does? Should've ordered operations then.
"Hey, pal, don't do that." Paint train. I wanna paint train it. If I have an opening, then I'm gonna paint train. Look at tiny room. I, Z- Z's hit, Z's at her wit's end. There's like... Do you aim for the door to, like, maybe block the door behind us a bit? There's like s- six pages of different turrets in this. Oh, it's a turret.
Oh, Jesus. No, she, not a turret. I'm just trying to get past all the turrets to get to the Protectron. Very Fallout 4 heavy- Oh, yeah. No ... uh- This is a Fallout 4 themed game. Oh, okay. Uh, which is why there's no Securitrons in it, I think. Just Protectrons. Uh, yeah, so, um, I think technically the Protectron is initiating the fight.
Um, I guess there's an argument to be... I'm just gonna let it do that 'cause it's not a, it's not a tough robot guy. Just let it have this. You know it's [01:02:00] bad when the DM is bartering with you. Just let her have this. Uh, she's gonna use her arm lasers, or she's gonna try to. I'll just go lock that door after.
Oh, I should probably put on something a little less- Some combat music? This is combat pros.
Um, well, she's gonna do a real bad job. She's gonna shoot it just straight into the pile of robot. Um, anything she can do about that?
No, there's a stat called robot, but that doesn't really do much. Uh, that's it, so we're gonna go into initiative, and I'm gonna forget everyone's initiative that has not changed at all. You two have to decide who's going first. It's Travis, too, up at the jump like always. I don't have any weapons. I got my- I'll, I'll go.
Okay. I got a tire [01:03:00] iron, I can bash it. All right, so Travis, too, you are up as this thing shoots lasers at you. Well, not at you, but you know. Oh. Oh no, I have the hats on my ... Oh, no. If only you could remove... Irremovable hats. I don't know that that makes a difference against a- Was that the intent, though? Can you, like, shake them off in an action?
No, I'm not, I'm not worried about it making a difference, I'm worried about damaging one of Charlie's hats. His hats. No. I- Minor action to shake the hat off, I would say. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I can- Thank you. It sucks we don't have AP, 'cause we could burn an AP to say that during surgery- ... like, I, I cut them or I, I pulled them off you, like how a surgeon will, like, cut people's clothes off.
That would be your plot detail you're adding with luck. That... Yeah, but we don't have, we don't have AP. It's not to add a plot detail. We have, we have AP. You want to spend a luck to- I was gonna say, do I wanna burn a whole luck for that? Uh, no. I, I can, yeah, shake the hat off. Okay. [01:04:00] Um, and then, uh, use my flamer.
You're a good boy, thank you. Very expensive hat. Flamer arm says, uh, I think that's two success. All right. Um, that will hit. Unless he has immune defense. What the heck? Um, come here. To an abandoned amusement park. Then- Well, not abandoned, but like, uh- Oh, here? Yeah. Do you live at the store like me and Aaron do?
Oh, right. Um- In the back, in the tube? Yeah. Not here very often. But yes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, I'm, I'm- We don't speak of the tubes ... we, we established I'm not a tube creature. No. Sorry, yeah. You're a- I am a ghost ... ghost in the machine. I am a ghost in the machine that only exists so long as the viewer is watching.
All right. Um, that's five damage. Okay. Is that, what type? Um, uh, uh, energy. Okay. I'll tell you about the outside world if you want to know anything. Um, and then also I get two triggers on my, [01:05:00] uh, my things. Ooh. Um. I died, I died January. Nope. Never mind. Nope. I died never. I died never. I didn't die. Nope. I, I, I exist only in your feeble imagination.
So I believe that's another- Great ... two damage on a different location, which I have not rolled locations. Um. Uh, roll them. That'd be cool. So that's gonna be five on the right arm, and then from the, I forget whether it's spread or burst, 'cause they do different things. They do. But, uh, also the right arm.
Okay. Uh, well, two extra damage. Yes. Uh, this thing is not as flame-proof as the death claw, but it is, it is a little bit flame-proof. A little bit. Um, and then it also has the persistent- Okay, so it is a little bit on fire. What are you gonna do? What are you gonna do? Uh, that's my turn. What are you gonna do?
Um- What are you gonna do? Hey, forget about it. All right. I'm gonna, uh- I'm burning you ... take out my [01:06:00] very cleverly concealed tire iron- ... and I'm gonna try and whack it. Whack it. Uh- Whack it. I'm gonna whack it with my tire iron. Yeah. Pull it out of my pants and whack it. Oh my God. Oh, no. The odds have not smiled on me.
Uh, that's fine, I understand. It was worth it. Um, can I do an AP to re-roll one, or no? Is that a thing I can do? You have- No, we, we, we have a bunch. We do. Oh, we do. Yeah. Can I do that one? Uh. No. It's okay. Yes. Yes? No, I'm just trying to remember. I was gonna say, Rachel, I, I, I love when you look at me and we're on the same beat.
Uh, that was an amazing, amazing beat. Uh, you can buy an extra D20, yeah. Okay, so this is that extra D20 that I bought. Yeah, that you totally bought. Yes, under... Damn, a no. 12. Yeah. Another one hit me. Uh, I attempt to hit it, but it gets caught in my pants. No, not in your pants. Um- Well now I can get caught in your pants.
Is that- Yeah, that's your turn. You can do it. That's my turn. I, I tried- Hey, it happens to all of us, right? ... and failed. It's Decker. Try again next time. Yes. Um, I'm actually proficient in unarmed [01:07:00] strike, so I'm going to- Nice ... wear my knuckles- Oh, yeah ... and I'm just gonna- Punch ... punch it. Um, yeah. Yeah. Natural one.
Woo. And then, uh, miss. So- Okay, so that is one AP generated. Yep. So, ooh. Yeah, that too. Ooh. Ooh. So the knuckle dusters are three damage.
I'm not calling it. It's not on the table. It wasn't on the table. Uh, so just two boys. Two boys. Uh, yeah, your knuckles kind of bounce off his face. Yeah, I figured. Um, okay. It is its turn. It is gonna, it's gonna arm laser somebody. I wonder who it wants to arm laser. Well, boy, can't wait. Probably one of us who are right in front of him.
Yeah. All right. So, um- Dude, get out of my pants. It's gonna hit you. That's fine. I get it. I guess. [01:08:00] Um, it's gonna try to arm laser. Okay. It hits you. That's a 10. Ah. That's a 10. Ah. What up? How are you, David? I'm watching you roll the dice. Why? Because you're the DM and it tells us important information- Whoa
when the number shows up. He's meta gaming. That's why there's DM screens. Yeah, well, but- You're the reason I had to buy a $30 DM screen, okay? I'm the reason?
Cool. It does o- one damage. To what? To your head. Man. On it. Slightly dinges your h- One damage. Ow, my head. No. It's, it's fine. I gotta put an energy blast on this thing now. Uh, that's all it does, though. It does one damage to your head. Uh, it's your- Time to meet God. Oh my God. [01:09:00] Okay. Uh, so penetrating, that's two successes.
Great. Um, and then takes unarmed damage and is knocked prone. So that's eight unarmed. Where's, where are the die? Let go.
One, two, and a boy. So that's, uh, two damage plus one piercing. So we're at three. Uh, and then, uh, so two piercing, four damage, so six total. Six damage. Uh, okay. And it's knocked onto the ground. Oh no, it's knocked on the ground. Um- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa ... it goes, "Mraw." Um, I need... You know what, Travis, uh, for free roll me a intelligence plus science.
It's gonna explode. It's going to explode. Oh. That's where this is leading. I don't know what you're talking about. It's going to explode. It has a little thing there where it talks about exploding. He's got two health and they were like, "Oh, it's gonna do something." All right. My target number for intelligence plus [01:10:00] science is four.
Oh my, great. Oh. Oh. Woo. It's one success. Hey, it's gonna explode.
Uh, probably soon. Okay. Uh, we need to get that door open. They call me David the human magnet. The door is open. Oh, the door to go downstairs? Uh, yeah, you cannot close it 'cause it's, uh, not really a door anymore. Ziric has, like, damage to that. Can I, can I disarm it? The protection? Yeah. Um, well, your turn is over.
Not here. Travis's try- Why? ... with his terrible science. And terrible science and 10 damage from a bullet, you know? Or you could try to destroy it before it destroys itself, I guess.
I wonder if it's gonna explode, I just wanna do that away from us. Yeah, you could just, like... Um, can I try... 'Cause it was, the door we opened was, like, going downstairs, right? Yeah. Can I try and, like, push it down the stairs? Absolutely. Where we wanna go. Right, so it'll [01:11:00] explode- And then it'll be done ... and then it'll be gone, and then we can go home.
Uh, strength, this is, like, a pure strength thing I think, so it's strength plus athletics. Of a Mr. Handy. Great. Um, is my target- Or, or, or strength plus throwing, I will accept. Uh, my target number for either is still four. Great. Oh my God. Well, talking is also a free action. That's one success. I feel like the difficulty of picking up a Protectron would not be one.
I'd say pity spare, pal. I'd say pity spare, pal. You wanna, you wanna get in on any of that? Sure. Uh, Oh my God. We got three AP. Yeah, we do. Yeah, that might get you more dice. Let's, yeah, let's burn and give me, give me two more dice. Oh, Jesus.
This is such a bad idea. No. Guys, the target number's four. And now it just ends. It shows us, like, the quick- I see two digit numbers there. Uh, yeah, you gently nudge it towards the door. I'm just imagining, like, [01:12:00] bouncing off of it. Yeah, you just, like, hit the wall. Um, great. That was Travis 2's turn. Charlie.
Travis. What's gonna happen with that projectron? I ha- had to get it away before it explodes. Let's run away. Great, so you- Down the stairs ... quick dash. Are you gonna grab Travis again? Yes, I'm going to grab Travis, and we're gonna go. Okay, so you exit the zone. Okay. Yeah, but it, yeah. Totally. Do you... What's up?
Do I have to move? Like, do I have to take my turn before it explodes? You could have last turn, but I don't know that you knew it was gonna explode. So, and, and the other thing is, with pain drain, it burns my movement action completely for the turn. Oh, you could use a luck point. Sorry, you can use an AP if we still have it, to move your initiative up.
We do not. We don't.
Well, you can hope- Hurry up ... that Decker generates some AP doing something besides running, I guess.[01:13:00]
'Cause you really only need the minor action to get away from it. You could use the action to try to rally. What if you tried just doing, like, a front flip as you run away, and see if we could roll and generate AP? Actually, can't you just, like, do a generate AP move? You can literally just generate AP. Um.
'Cause if you use your minor action to walk away, you could just, like, rally as you're Rally is a, is a major action. Yes, and then walking away is a minor. Pass rally- You don't need to be- I can't sprint ... too far from this. I can walk, I can move. Okay. Yeah, you don't need to be sprint distance from this thing.
Oh. You are about, please. That, that is the play, sadly. I want to try to diffuse it, but that is the play. I will say if you have a suggestion for rally, I would say probably just, like, strength and speech or something. Like, you got this, fam. But it's up to you what you wanna use for it. Um, strength and speed.
I can't just do charisma and speech? You can do charisma and speech. Yeah, yeah. So, um- [01:14:00] Trying to vary things here, but... Yeah. Uh, yeah, I am just going to announce, "Hey, it's going to explode." Hey. 'Cause no one has said that yet. Yeah. This thing might explode. Yeah. Travis said it now. Um- 'Cause I asked him and then he said it's gonna explode, so I said run away.
All right. Yeah, uh, I'm going to progressively walk back. Uh, and I'm gonna roll to rally. I don't really have much of a... Yeah. Yeah. So just like- Beautiful ... any successes generate APA, I believe, on this. So under my rally score, it says survival plus endurance. That's, like, the normal one. Oh, okay. But you can change it at GM's approval.
At GM's approval. I assume, yeah
Yeah, so I got one success. We have a box, you guys. Let's get it. You right. I also have, like, 30 dice trays, but here I am. Here we are. Uh, okay. So yeah, that is a one AP. So I can take my turn? Yeah.[01:15:00]
If I take my minor action to get away, that cl- like I get out, right? Yeah So can I try to disarm it? Sure. You can try to disarm it. Well, what would it be? I just wanna know. I'm gonna increase the complication range on this, I think, and say it's a difficulty two test to disarm this thing in a matter of seconds.
What would be the roll? Uh, so it's a normal roll, but a 18, 19, and 20 will all be a complication. Okay. So w- And you need two successes ... so it would be intelligence plus something? Repair. R- r- repair? Yes. Oh. Yeah, I'm taking it. You need two successes. Yeah, that's four successes. Woo! Uh, any 18, 19s? No, 'cause you did- Uh, nope, a four and a three
yeah. Okay. Um, yeah, you disarm the secure dock. It goes
It's, it's not [01:16:00] gonna explode. Whoa. And like, I literally collapse on top of it, like, with my hand like this. "I got it." Great. So that leaves this door down into the tunnels open for you. I think that is an excellent spot to take our break. Uh, we'll be right back. Don't go anywhere. Please. Uh, please. Bye[01:17:00] [01:18:00] [01:19:00] [01:20:00] [01:21:00] [01:22:00] [01:23:00] [01:24:00] [01:25:00]
And welcome back. Um, we are in the robot repair bay of Millennium Park, where we just, uh, disabled a protectron that attacked us for no reason. For no reason. Um, but with that threat handled, we have a door that just sort of opened itself really down to the employee [01:26:00] hallways, uh, beneath Millennium Park Does the Protectron drop anything?
I love the scavenging mechanic. The loot mechanic. Let's get into it. Yes. Gotta loot You know, guys, we could have, we could have made it so the thing did explode, but we got away, and then we could have, like, left our shoes upstairs- ... so it looked like we blew up with it. I li- I liked this plan a lot. You had to fake your- I hate this plan.
You had to fake your own death because you don't have shoes. Yeah. Ah, it's understandable. What would you leave behind? Your goggles? The cables. I liked those goggles a lot. I think I was cool. Yeah. You can have the goggles. You know, last time you said you couldn't wear a hat because you had your goggles, and I just wanna say, it's worked for a lot of, it's worked for a lot of characters.
I, like, uh, I, I think I've had the goggles down for a while, since, like, repairing you, and I, like, pull them up, and there's, like, a distinctive, like, red, or, like, whatever lizards would [01:27:00] get from, like, pressure, I guess, around the eyes. Like, it, like, it loo- And I'm like, "Huh, you have that water, right?" Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I take it and I punch a hole in it with my claw- ... and I drink it like I'm chugging a beer. Roll me... Ooh, this is fun. Roll me three D20s and add them up. More simple arithmetic for you. Yeah. Oof. Hell. Don't give me too anxiety. Uh, it's a one, a 15, and a 19. So what's 15 plus 19? That's- 20 plus 15. 20 plus- 35. 15.
35. Woo-hoo. You find you find a torch. A torch? A torch. A lit torch? Like a, like a, like an old-timey- ... like a ye olde torch. It says torch, John. You rolled torch. Is this like a propane torch, or is it just a torch? It just says torch. Oh my God. It's, it's a torch. It says torch. Like it's a Skyrim-like torch I find.
I don't know. It says torch. This protectron took an arrow to the knee. I want to say, like, the other things on this list are, like, caps, robot repair kit, uh, [01:28:00] a hollow tape, uh, stimpack, defu- torch. I'm gonna look up Fallout torch just to confirm. This is the only option that could've gotten you torch, two out of 60 options.
Does someone else wanna roll 3 D20s? No. Oh, sure. 'Cause I'm feeling a little bad you just got torch. Can I have, uh, three D20s please? You keep torch. Can't wait to get another torch. Oh, it could be referring to, like, a flashlight. No, I think it means, like, a flashlight. Yeah. Okay. All right. I have a 13 and a six, which is a 19- Mm-hmm
plus an eight, which is 27. 27. If you get a robot repair kit- ... and I get a torch- ... I'm gonna be so mad. This is so funny. Um, can you roll two damage dice for me? Yes, I can. Uh- I'm gonna cry. Yeah, on your way to go loot the body, you stab Z in the back of the head. I got, uh, two damage and a damage. So you find four signal flares, which are kind of just also torches.[01:29:00]
If you think about it. If you don't give us a joke- Doctor's bag, magazine, caps, caps, caps- Four signal flares ... caps, caps. We need to illuminate an area. We are so- We are ready. We're so good. Um- Uh, yeah, that's what you find on the projectron. Does- Sorry, I gave it two goes. That's all you get. Does the door open i- that we went into the medical repair bay, does it open in or out?
It opens out now. Well, no, the other- The one you went into? There's two doors. Uh, opens out I would imagine. Opens out. So, like, you would pull it open, like- Yeah. I'm trying to figure out a way to stop Peggy from getting to us too fast. You know what? Just for you, it opens in. Oh my God, that's so useless. I feel real bad about the torch situation.
So I was thinking of maybe- Pile up some robot parts. I was gonna, I was gonna drag the positron corpse over there, steal the nurse's hat, and tuck him in my... This p- pr- pr- I'm gonna- Protectron. The robot. The robot. I'm gonna drag the robot corpse and put it in front of the- Can we just lock the door? I don't know, 'cause I'm sure she has a key to the door.
She probably has a key to the door. So I'm thinking of, like, we gotta block it. She's got chains here. So this is, like, a robot repair bay. I bet you the door's kind of automated. I mean, maybe, but [01:30:00] I just wanna... She's gonna come after us. Gonna come after us. Um, yeah, you... I don't think there's a check. You have time to, like, pile up a bunch of robot detritus- Love it
in front of the door. All right, and then we go down the stairs. And you go down the stairs. Um, you find yourself in the tunnels. Oh. Oh. I pull out my medieval torch. Thank God, you have- I got signal flares. I will say it is probably somewhat dark down here. Oh, perfect. I can see in the dark. People probably have a, a torch with them when they come down here.
Hey, I wish we had a flashlight. I put it, like... I put it, like, kind of in between my, like, you know, you would do with, like- Yes ... a flashlight in your ear, and I kind of- What is a flashlight? Oh, like the flashlight is a flashlight. In your ears. I s- I do that all the time. Well, I don't have ears, so. Can you see in the dark?
Um, I'm a ghoul. I don't... Can I see in the dark? No. No? I- What? I don't know. Are you a ghoul? Are we with radiation or anything? Uh, no. You know, like, ev- every- Can I see in the dark? ... everything is a problem. Wow. Everything's a problem to everyone but me- ... so, like, like, it's like, no, no, no, uh, like, radiation, doesn't matter.
Food, doesn't matter. This, doesn't matter. But me- Dude, [01:31:00] that would absolutely be, like, a relic from, like, Fallout 1, where they had to, like, program it in for a dungeon or something, and then it's like, "Uh, yeah, all ghouls have night vision." Uh... Uh, uh, um, okay. You are in the tunnels. Um- Let's see. These are different from the other tunnels.
The other tunnels. 'Cause we're under the park now. Yeah. This is like the staff cor- like- Staff ... I'd know this area at least a little. Yeah. Um, let's see. Kind of in this area there's a lot of, like, further storage for robots. There are more areas where, like, actual data for the robots are stored. Um, you could venture further into the tunnels if there's something particular- Travis is getting really jumpy.
Hey- He's very erratic. Hey, Travis. Uh, you seem a bit nervous. It's fine. Uh, what, what's going on? I'm, I'm, I'm fine. Okay. I'm fine. You're gonna keep your promise, right? Yeah. Okay. Then I'm fine. Okay. I'm keeping my promise all the times. Yeah, what's going [01:32:00] on- Thank you ... Travis? Everything's fine. Do you wanna run, like, a diagnostic check or- Oh- I think the diagnostic-
and you would know... Sorry. You would know that Ollie kept an office underneath the Millennium Showcase Fair, which is in, uh, Millennium Planet. So he has a- Okay, so we're close by. Yeah, there's an office that Ollie kept, and then somewhere nebulously beyond that there's, like, rooms where various data for the various robots- Okay
are stored. Yeah, I'm thinking to check the robot data, see if any of them have, like, an idea of where this Infinitown entrance could be or something. I, I'd need, like, a computer terminal. I can't- Absolutely. Of course. You could just- Uh, got it. Yeah. But- Do you- Would you mind checking on Travis? Do you wanna run a diagnostic or something, pal?
I, I'm, I'm great. I'm great. Why don't you run a diagnostic anyway? I would advise against running a diagnostic. You should just- Why? ... keep me disconnected from this park, which is yucky and stupid. D- I, Travis, do you think we're gonna connect you to anything that ought to get- Are you? Do you think- Big raises his gun at you.
[01:33:00] No. No. Whoa. Whoa. No, pal. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey. Hey, son. Hey. Hey, kiddo. Hey, hey, hey. Nope, not at all. Not at all. No one would make you connect to anything that- I didn't connect you to anything. Nope. I didn't even let that robot touch you earlier, so okay. Honestly, all we've done to you is mildly lobotomize you once but that was only once, and we didn't connect you to anything.
Okay, that's fine. There was a... So yeah, great. So it's not just snakeskins. So we'll, we'll, uh, yeah, just keep, keep exploring, and not connect me to anything, or pull any data from the park and put it in me. Okay. Why don't you explain that, though? Also, you said earlier a- a- about your promise to Decker. What's that about?
Oh, if they start acting like one of these weird park people, I'm just gonna blast them. You're gonna blast my son? I mean, it, that would, it would, what... It, it's consensual. Like, I get- Oh ... confirmation. What is it gonna do? W-
I s- I really like being me. Of course you [01:34:00] do. We all like being us. Of course, but why would, why would that change? 'Cause I haven't always been me. What were you before you were you?
I was like you. You were me? Well, not- This is- Not you, but like- You were here before- I worked here. Okay. Oh. I, like, gardened. Oh, that sounds nice. It was lame and stupid. Oh. You gardened. Yeah, I like- Here at an amusement park. You know, like trim the shrubs, make sure, you know, the grass is all nice and neat. So you're like a janitor.
I... You know. Like a, like a groundskeeper. Service bot. Yeah. Oh, hold on. Okay, so before you were a snakeskin bot, you were a service bot here. I mean, you know, back- Well, that was, that's hundreds- When the world was all lame. Y- lame? [01:35:00] Yeah. I thought- Okay. Before it got cool. Yeah. Cool. That's interesting. Yeah.
Before it got cool. But why would... So pl- oh, okay, I get it. So, like, plugging you in would probably pull you back to a, an earlier part of your personality. Reset factory settings. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was funny. See, I mean, for a while, I thought you were, like, a brain in a jar- ... in a guy. You're in, like, a robot.
No, no, no, I'm, I'm a robot. I'm just, I'm just cool, cool robot. Okay. Sure. Hence the hat. Cool robot. Sure. Sure. And what's, uh, cool about the world now? I just as a... I mean, I know, I know, but, uh, just so just to see what you know. There's no rules. You can do whatever you want. Mm. You're being- You can blow things up.
You can run things over. You don't have... It's all right. And we're, we're, uh... Let's walk and talk while we do this. Yeah, we're gonna- All right? We're gonna- they're gonna kill us or something. Uh, so I want, um... [01:36:00] Ollie's office is around here somewhere. We can stop there and see what we can find, or we can check the robot databases and see.
And w- we won't plug you into anything, just can... We got Ziz. He can take a look. There's got terminals all over the place. And I can show you the way to Ollie's, uh, office. That'd be helpful. Sure. Yeah. I can do that. It's easy to get there from here. Like, again, you're walking, like, across this particular leg of the park.
Um, you find, you know, it's got a little plaque on the door. It says, you know, Oliver Millennium, and it seems to have been kept in some level of- We're alone down here? Currently. They've left- As it's nighttime ... this very important area to this guy they venerate totally unguarded. Yeah, f- for sure. I would like to look around for traps and whatnot.
Uh, yeah. So I guess you can do a survival plus perception, perception plus survival. You can... Give me, give me- On [01:37:00] the, on the- Yeah. Perception plus survival. Mm-hmm. That's... That's a seven. That's a 13 and a 19. Seems fine. It's fine for me. All right. Um, can I get one of those flashlights you found? I have one. He has one.
We have flash- Can I get a flashlight? I'm gonna take it and be like, "Thanks. You were using it as a spotlight. I couldn't see anything o- down here. It's... " I'm just gonna lead the way with the flashlight. Um, I will go first. Okay. So if there are traps, you know. Okay. Um, yeah, so- Yeah, don't let the lizard- Let the lizard with the better- Uh, the, the door to the office, it is locked.
That lock picking skill, it's, uh, really gonna... Ooh. Do I have to pick this lock? Well, you're the only one with lock pick. I think- Ah. I don't have a pry bar again. I have a tire iron.[01:38:00]
7. I needed to hit a 6. Ugh. Well- You got a second- I guess we're back to the good old... You gonna break open another door? Maybe grab that bot. We can just punch it real hard and hope- Oh, yeah, we could. Yeah. Yeah. I'm gonna punch the door down. All right. The good old... This is what we like to call the Daggerfall method.
That's, uh, two successes. Okay. Uh, yeah, you punch the door down. Um, there is a- Eight landmines. Uh, no. That'd be great, probably. There's a pair of protectrons in here, uh, who react to the door being blown down. Um- I am Olly Millennium. They look at you. Uh, well, they don't look at you. They turn towards you. Uh, they turn towards you, Travis, too.
"Hello, Mr. Vickery." [01:39:00] "How can we assist you?" What? "Hello, unidentified Vickery." "How can we help you?" Uh, disengage. Okay. They walk away.
What? Hi, bro.
Uh, uh... Um, in this room, this whole bunch of, like, sketches of various characters all over the place, mixed with sort of... It's a very eclectic room, kind of seemingly left in the condition he left it. There's mixes of sketches, uh, notes on things, diagrams for the town, diagrams for things you don't understand.
Um, big computer terminal glowing, like, oh my gosh. Oh. Um, some Fancy Lad snack cakes and purified water on the table. Wow. There's, um, there's five Fancy Lad snack [01:40:00] cakes. And two purified water. What? So, is there anyone else that we've met, and or encountered- ... and or talked to, who is one of the named or rumored people in the area-
who I should know about? Are these like, are these like I- identification cards? I'm gonna look at the, the same cards we got. Do you guys have yours still? Do you have your cards? No, I have the one, but- So it's not... Okay, it's not that. Okay. Uh, what- The protectrons are just, like, dusting things. Why were you...
Why were they trying to kill you with the Molotovs? W- did they have any reason that they were trying to- I- That they said to you? I was told I was too weak. Okay. I was, uh, ostracized for all bark and no bite, so- D- does the name Vickory mean anything to you? Um, I don't even know where we [01:41:00] are right now. I believe you fully.
I want you to understand that this, uh this park, that's not me, okay? If it was up to me, all those bots would be active right now. None of us... W- weapons at the door? Are you stupid? No. That, that means they have the weapons and they don't want you to have yours. It is... No, nothing about this says anything about me.
So did you know your... You were this important guy or no? That's all we care about. No. And you? Well, related to an important guy. Do you mind telling me anything else? You are a brain in a jar. So that, that doesn't seem right. Did you see anything when you were in there? You went in there. Yeah. A suspiciously jar-shaped casing.
And you didn't think to mention it until now? I [01:42:00] don't think you saw a brain in a jar. Well, you, you made it sound like there was just a weird thing that I saw. You saw a Millennium Park logo in there. Okay. Like a s- yeah, but so you're gonna- So just a brand logo. But, like, no, like, thing that made it look like a brain- No-
was in there ... it said a brain in a jar in there. Okay.
Oh my god. I'm just like a guy. Just a guy. Wait, hold on. There's a, there's a computer terminal glowing in the desk. Maybe it has some answers. I, I sit down at the computer terminal. What? I sit down at the computer terminal. My chair definitely, like, breaks under my weight, and I kick it off, and I g- I go back and I stand.
Um, it looks like this has been pretty scraped, but there is a outgoing message, um, from Ollie to someone. I will share it- Ooh ... in chat. Oh, cool. Oh, goodness. I have to look at my phone. I mean, my terminal. My terminal. Oh. Oh, such a... Huh. I really don't- Do you wanna do old man voice [01:43:00] for this one? I don't. I really don't.
Please. For the people. Dude, it's like, it's like every time you ask me about it now, it gets further somewhere in the recesses of my brain. Do you want- That's, like, stage fright ... I would love that. Do you want me to read it in old man voice for this? Yeah. All right. Are we talking, like- Arlo. All right.
Southern man. All right. You were in Florida. All right. I don't know why I'm... Well, that's why there's so many old people there. Um. Oh, I should put this in full out. It's okay. I found it. Arlo, I know that you won't understand my reasoning for leaving things to you, Donny. Ooh. But right now, you'll do right by this place, though.
Trust me, you'll respect a dying man's wishes and play nice with the boy, boy. Won't you? He's a little confused now, but he's the only one I can trust to keep the town safe. As for you, you're the only one I can trust with, dot, dot, dot, ellipses. Long dramatic pause. Okay. The rest of it. Do me a favor and keep the lag- lab under wraps.
[01:44:00] Upwards and onwards to forever, old friend. That's going on. You drift a little bit into Reinhardt from Overwatch for a second there. It felt a little Gambit. It was going- See, there was a little, like, a French- I don't, I don't recognize. Mon cher. Oh, I am French. Cigarettes, anybody? Oh. Um. I need a cigarette. I am ze French.
Full de milk. Oh. Oh, God, what happened? Okay, so- A death claw, as we say in France. A death claw. C'est la mort. Et le blood. C'est claw de morte. Claw de morte. Yeah, that's about it. There's, uh, obviously, it's like, oh, huh, uh
So have, has Arlo always been a, a robot or is that new? Arlo- Uh, Arlo was not a robot to know ... sorry. No, no, sorry. The, his, has... This guy. So is the character that [01:45:00] we're imagining in our heads a robot or are you a brain in a jar? Arlo was a human being- Got it ... friends with another human being- Got it ... before the bombs fell.
Got it ... so a long time ago. Got it. And a robot. No robot. No, not... But this is a robot that- I am a robot ... that is tied to- An inflated robot. We don't know which pe- the Protectrons just said Mr. Vickery. They didn't necess- I mean, that could, the Vickerys have gone. There's still- There's a lot of them ... there's a lot of them.
So- There are ... it could be a Travis II Vickery, or it could be more in depth, but it, it could... And also this could be another progeny of the Vickery. They got around. I have an idea. You have an idea. I, uh, okay. Let's listen to your idea. I guess I have no ears. I have no ears. I'm all horns. You're holesy, Enn.
I'll call over to the Protectrons. Hey. Hello, Mr. Vickery. Who am [01:46:00] I? Neural scans indicate that you are Travis Vickery That, um... What, what, what kind of neural scans? The scans on your neuro matrix, neural computational matrix. Hmm. That sounds a bit brain and a jar to me. Hold on. Can I, can I look up in the, in the computer terminal if they have, like, uh, like a protocol or something that explains what, what they're doing?
No. Oh, cool. Thanks. It did say- Thanks. Well, then- It did say, "Hey, please go protect the things in the lab, the secrets in the lab." That's true. Oh, a lab, huh? Not that you know. Not that you know, but... So Decker, who could probably barely read, um- ... is going to be frantically, like, looking through all the filing cabinets and drawers for like pictures of something that might resemble me.
Do you- 'Cause I'm- Oh, there should- I am, uh, apparently- Do you- There should be a picture of Arlo in [01:47:00] here. Right. It's Oli- if it's Oli Star's place. Yeah, there's like pictures of Oli and Arlo shaking hands at like the opening of Millennium Park. A young, I don't remember how old Donnie was, but decently young, uh, Don in the picture.
Um, nothing that like looks like you. Yeah. I'm like, I am... I'm just frantically, like, breaking stuff. I'm like, "I'm not royalty. I am not," and just like throwing stuff. Like, I think at, I think at this point Charlie and Zee are like looking at a picture of Arlo and then looking back up at you and trying to like...
Both of them are trying to like see if they can- There's nothing here. Brows? Eyebrows? Eyebrows? I mean, it could just be that, um, I don't have any- Oh, well no. Here, try this one. Um- Oh, no. This- I guess you can roll me a perception and survival to see if you find anything. This guy has a big forehead.
Perception and survival? Yeah. Okay. Under a 10, guys. Wow. Which is a complication, but a nine. A complication. Oh. You have a, you have a stroke. Just keeping a action point for later. I don't know what to do about [01:48:00] that one. There you go. One of the fancy lad cakes I just like brought so far. No. Um- Complication.
As you're digging through, again, this room has been quite picked through, so there's not like a lot of like Oli's like files left in here. So you're left to look at kind of like the pictures on the wall. Um, you see one that's like some sort of opening at the park, and it's like captioned underneath, "Arlo Vickery with his son, Travis Vickery."
Okay. Um- Can I do some sort of investigation to, uh, think about my friend? Uh, yeah, absolutely. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ooh. Ominous. I love- I love ominous investigation. Here, just think about your friend. My thinking- I'm just thinking about her. Think about my friend. Rotating cows in your mind. Um, that is... I don't even know what I'm rolling.
It's probably perception. Um- Intelligence maybe? Intelligence? Um, perception and pick [01:49:00] your poison, I guess. Um, perceptions- Something over three. I'm gonna go pilot for this one. Pilot. Something that- Yeah ... makes some level of sense. Pilot, expert, uh, pilot, repair, science, uh- Speech, survival I'll just go straight.
I, I got, I got a three, so with just intelligence it's still one. Sure. One pass. Yeah. Um, you're kind of looking around. Uh, your friend, who I don't know if I described, like, super well last time-
Let me dig through my 87 files and documents. Cool. Uh, your friend appears kind of like, I don't know, around a shadowy corner, as they do. Um, very fairly, like, uh, feminine presenting figure. Um, kind of like plain, you know- Yeah ... not like the most- So I see them now? Yeah, yeah. Yeah? As you are, like, looking around, they're like, "Hello."
I'm just gonna be like, "You're gonna [01:50:00] talk to me," and I'm gonna sprint at the shadowy figure. Oh. Oh, okay. We're coming on a little strong there. Do you do this, like, in real life? I, I'm, it's, they're actually gonna let me talk to them? They're, I think they just, like, sit on the desk. Okay. And we cannot see them?
No. Okay. But are we seeing this freak out? Yeah. Oh, because I'm gonna try to tackle them. Yeah. At, at this poi- I think I watch- I think you just straight up, like- ... phase through them ... or I think, like, it's unclear whether they, like, dodge or you fa- But, like- Yeah ... there is no connection. Yeah, I, yeah, there's no connection.
Deck, what's going on? I, like, grab you. You, like, jump the desk and roll. Whoa. What the hell are you doing? All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. It's a little strong, isn't it? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. If I had a gun, I'd shoot you right now. If I don't know that, well- That's a little rude. Sure. It's gonna be great.
All right, keep going. Okay. D- d- maybe you could... The shooting, you're good at that, but maybe we could try asking questions, clarifying information. Okay. What's going on? Okay. First off, um, [01:51:00] why aren't they freaking out? What do you mean? I, I think I am freaking out. Why, why aren't they freaking out? Your friend.
Why, why- Maybe you've sort of set a expectation for how, you know, you behave that... And if- Do you mean, like, that you're talking to me freaking out, or like- Yes, yes. Yeah. Yeah, like, I- Why can't they see you? Why can't we see who? 'Cause you're who I'm here to talk to Okay. So since day one- Mm ... always been there.
Yeah. Always giving me advice. Let me just mention- Advice? Really. Are you just this embodiment of Lady Luck I've always imagined? Who are you? I'm Travis. I'm Charlie. Is that- I reach for my nothing again. Is that, is that important? Will that help you? I don't- I'm here to help you ... you're here to help me, yes.
Uh- But why? 'Cause you're someone very important to... Well, someone important to who I was [01:52:00] at a point. Why does... And I point to, not Travis, but one of the other bots. Uh, why does that know me? Oh, well you have, you know, neural data, scans. Yeah. Crops up. Yeah. I- is this a, a twisted game? What am I doing here? Well, hopefully you're, you know, bringing about some new age for the wasteland.
It's kind of your game, though. I've been trying to let you figure it out. I've been trying to bring a new age to this whole time? Yeah, you're doing a great job. So you're gonna figure it out. How many of you guys can you actually- I was like, "Whoa, whoa." I'm gonna resort to drastic measures. No, you're doing a great job.
I don't think you need me to, you know, intervene or... Any more than I have. Deck, you need some water? You need some water- ... on a stick? You need some- Yeah. Uh- You got about one more minute of hallucinating. And you guys, have you guys, have you guys got, got Rad-X? This is, this is- Listen, the, the whole Victory thing- I gotta go back.[01:53:00]
Yeah. It's not important. People think it's important, but there's a lot of ghosts that haunt this wasteland, and you don't need to let them affect you. You're your own person. I've tried to make sure of that for you. I am definitely my own person, but I don't know what I'm, what I'm doing here. Is this like a, a seek of revenge, a seek of power?
I feel you, man. I don't know. That's- All right, I'm resorting to drastic measures. And you watch as Zarek rolls out their tongue and licks Decker across the face. Uh- Ooh. Th- w- k- I'm having a conversation here. With no one. You are hallucinating. They're gonna, they're gonna try to, like, slip back into the shadow.
From... Wha... Were you the... Did you leave the notes? To you? Yes. Oh, that was Eve. Ugh. Your face tastes like radiation. Yeah, thanks. Thanks. Uh, uh, and the- I imagine they're just fading at this point. Yeah, they're gonna, like- Yeah ... just, like, [01:54:00] backing away. Yeah. You all right, Decker? I think I just got a bunch more questions than I've had answers.
Um- You're talking to a hallucination. You're hallucinating. Okay. There are probably no more irradiated slushies for you. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, I- Are you feeling radiation sick? No, I feel like, I feel fine. My, my hands aren't tingly. My, my ears aren't ringing. Um- Mm, smell like t- copper? Or is it toast? I- It's toast ... I, I think it's, uh, static, like I burnt...
But no, it's fine. It's, uh- Yeah, that's, uh... I just, I can't get over you guys didn't see, didn't hear. No. Nothing. No? What did you see and hear? No. Do you wanna tell us about it? So along the way, I, this is, this is crazy for me. I, I don't, I'm... I've always had- Oh, yeah, 'cause the bar is so high. I've always had this person, uh, this, this image in my mind, this, this...
Always at the [01:55:00] perfect timing, whether it be right before an ambush, whether it be, um... An example, we were walking, we're lost, and then I see my good old friend who I've always just referred to as the drifter or some fame of luck or something. And if we didn't turn that path, the gator claw would've came right at us earlier.
Like, they came from where we came from. They're always there just guiding me in the right way. And I always thought they... As soon as we kicked down that door and saw Eve, I thought it was them. Mm. It was not them at all. Eve physically was doing it, but my drifter was still around. Yeah. So- And this has been always?
It's ever since I joined the Molotovs. Oh, okay. So not always. Yes. Did something happen to you before, like, when you joined the Molotovs? Did they, is there some kind of initiation or thing that they do to you? I was a kid. I don't remember much. What do you... Where were you born? [01:56:00] I was a kid, I don't remember much.
I was surrounded by drunken lunatics who would throw firebombs everywhere they went. Yeah, before that. Before that? I, I, you know, I don't really recall. Yeah, I think you would've been very young. Yeah, you- Yeah. I, I was just initiated into that. That was my life. Okay. Did, did the- Always the right ma- right hand.
Was always the, the daughter of Gatz, you know? That was just who I was. Did the hallucination drifter say anything to you that was confusing or strange? Yeah, they were a fu- a freaking hallucination. Good show. Good show. I, I caught one word. I had to f- I had to fumble the next one. It's okay. I liked it. I liked it.
Hallucination. And the, they were- I like it. Yes, yes. Did any... Uh, 'cause they usually help you. Did they- Yes. They- ... get you anything that would help you now? Did they tell you anything that could help you now? We're [01:57:00] going the right way. Well, that's a some help. We're going to die. It seems that the robots listen to you guys.
Do you wanna see if we can get access to this lab without plugging you into anything and see if we can learn more? That sounds like a fine plan. Okay. I- Do you know where the lab is? But these- I'm not a lab robot. You're a- These pr- these protectrons would probably know. We can perhaps ask. Maybe there's some locked doors they could unlock that we might not, I don't know, have to bodily open.
Yeah. Would you like to access the lab, sir? Yeah. We go in there? Excellent. Follow me. I hate it here. I hate Florida. I hate Florida. Uh, okay. Yeah. I, I just, I'm, I'm worried about your shoulders. My shoulders are fine. I'm fine
Walk, [01:58:00] walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk. Yeah, so you, uh, are led very slowly. These are not fast robots. More, more, more, more. Uh, kind of making that sound the whole time. Love that. Uh, down the hallways, winding pathways. Uh, you feel like you're kind of getting out of what you recognize as, like, staff tunnels, and you're again getting into some areas you don't recognize- Mm-hmm
so much. Um, eventually they find a door. Um, there's like, you know, big Fallout hacking terminal thing on it. Ooh. They do whatever robot thing they need to do to open that. Um, and you find yourself in, uh, a lab. As you get in there, um, not much to see, but your attention is immediately drawn to, there are three figures already in here.
Uh-oh. Um, and they- Crap baskets ... look at you like deer in the headlights. Um, one of them you [01:59:00] recognize as your good mechanic friend. Um, another one you recognize as your good friend. Oh. Um, and just, like, random Molotov number 85. Um, Sam is trying to get into this computer as, uh, Penny, who I don't know, is, like, a computer lady.
Oh, nice. Okay. She just heroes some, some muscles. Love that. A person that knows the area is trying to, like, give Samuel not so helpful advice. And the raider is just here to kind of make sure they do what they need to do. Okay. Uh, and then they all kind of stop and like... "Penny?" Charlie? Hey. Hi. Fancy seeing you down here.
The raider's like taking out gun- Gary? Gary. Jacker. Um, they take out a gun. I think you guys still do not have guns. No. Nope, I got a tire iron and a Molotov [02:00:00] cocktail. Tire iron. I s- do I see them pull the guns? I have both of my weapons. Yes. Yeah, there's like a standoff happening, uh, besides the other two who are kind of like...
Okay, um- Can I step between the group and roar really loud to try to get them to stop? Uh- Like just roll straight intimidation on this. I have not been... I've not drawn a weapon. I have not- I think that's strength and speech. All right. Yeah. D- do you wanna do... No, I won't. No, we have, we have... Two bots just walked us here.
We could probably have them help us. Yeah. We could just say, "Draw." Like, they don't have to shoot them, but- They just start taking out little tablets and they draw- It would be a losing fight. It's strength and speech? Yeah. Okay. So I just need to roll under an 11, please. Come on. Uh, do you have any AP? Nope.
No, I don't. What, what's the difficulty for that? Um, to roar? Like, one. You're definitely- Okay. I'm gonna, I'm gonna burn a luck. Sure. I'll burn another. I'll go down to three. I don't... Ah. That was the roar. That was it. Dog. Oh, um... Is your, is your [02:01:00] dog sick? Get out of here, dog. What are you doing here? You should, you should probably get out of here.
I'm warning you. You better say something, because I am going to jump these people. This is the third person to call me a dog. I'm gonna eat them. Penny. Techtrons, keep your weapons trained on them. We're not- Uh, they both raise their arms. We're... Okay. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. We're not here to hurt anybody.
We're not here to hurt anybody. We're just trying to figure out some answers. Uh- Penny ... Gary, the veteran, uh, or the raider, is like... I didn't just reveal this out loud. Um- I didn't see anything. Whoa, whoa. Um, you know, a gig's a gig. Well, I, I, I'm not blaming you for anything, but you know that we're not here for, to cause trouble.
You know me. I'm, I'm- Well, I'm more worried about everyone with you. I mean, I'm not worried, but- I cause lots of trouble. You just heard them- Uh, Gary's like, "I'm worried." You just heard them roar. Yeah, we, we were not- Did we? We're not here to- Is that what that was? Exactly. We're not here to cause trouble.
Find out. We're not here to cause trouble. [02:02:00] Not here to cause trouble. What are you doing here? What are you doing here? Not you. I- Just- Is this Gary? This is Gary. Gary? Did Gary just shush? I'm a deathclaw. Sorry, Gary. Gary, what are you doing here? Uh, it doesn't matter what I'm doing here. Give me your pistol now.
No. I, I just bumped my deathclaw. Ah. Pistol. Okay. All right. I think, yeah, that Gary will drop the pistol- All right ... because the- Kick it. Kicks it. Sorry, David. Sorry. I did just kick you in real life. Um, I'm gonna- I don't exist. It's okay. I'm a dumb role. Just punch David. I'm gonna grab the pistol, but if it's a regular pistol, it's not going to fit in my energy weapon, like, holster.
Yeah. So it's just gonna sink in. It's a .44, 'cause that's the only one I remember. .44 caliber? Okay. And I don't wanna have to... No more guns. Um- Now I'm scared. I, I was sent here. By who? 'Cause it wasn't the boss. It was the boss. It's, uh... Yeah, it was the boss. [02:03:00] I said, "The boss said to throw you off a cliff." We were all there.
We were like, "Whoa, we're throwing Decker off the cliff." Yeah. We, you know. Yeah. It was very ritualistic. It was very nice, wasn't it? It was very nice. Yeah, we had a couple of beers after. Yeah. It was great. Yeah. He sent me here to grow stronger and murder every single one of you. Well, that sounds like something he would do.
Yeah. Maybe don't I mean, looks like they have plans first, then we'll get to that. Um- What are you doing here? Well, I don't know if the boss wants to, you know, really, like, talk about that. I, I step forward. What are you doing here? Okay, okay. Okay. Um, well, we're trying to get into the town. Why? 'Cause it's like the stronghold.
We can't get in there, and it's probably where they keep all the guns, and it would be really good. That's what I was saying from the beginning, and I think that's pretty legit. There's probably guns. There's probably food. If we can siege that, well, we got everything. So we're trying it, and we're getting pretty close.
We're just, like, you know. What makes you think you're close? Well, we're here in the [02:04:00] tunnels. Yeah, but- This is the closest we ever got ... there's tunnels, tunnels everywhere. Sure. We've, we've explored a lot of them. It's kind of hard, 'cause the robots start blasting us whenever we get too far. But we thought maybe, like, this computer looks like it might have, like, some maps on it or something.
If this guy, you know, like, Elbow Sam could do anything. Give a little wave. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Well, hi, Sam. Do you got a ch- How do you know Travis? Oh, this is Sam. This is- Yeah. Oh, well, I found him. Where? Oh, just kind of, like, outside the park. I- He's kind of like my dad. Three dads. He was... You know, he was pretty, well, I would say non-functional.
It wasn't much I could do, but I gave him a new matrix, sent him on his way. He was, uh- New matrix? ... little, little chatty, so I, you know, sent him off in the world to learn things. Yeah, I've, like, trained him off some, like, newspapers I found, some articles about, you know, like, the heroes of Florida. The heroes of Florida.
To really teach him. Okay. You know? How to survive out here. [02:05:00] The Florida Man. The Florida Man. The legend. And, uh, so- Didn't I tell you about that? Oh, my God. S- Sam- Could have sworn I opened with that. And- Works pretty okay. I mean, he's functional ... it's official, ladies and gentlemen. Tabletop Travel Agency has peaked.
It's only downhill from here. Um, that might be the best reference we've ever had. Uh- Well, you can thank Ryan for that. Let's- Thank you and good night. Cut the feed. Cut the, cut the cameras. Cut the cameras. It's over. Cut cameras. It's over. Hey, it's good to see you. I mean, maybe not in these circumstances, but I'm glad you're still kicking around.
Yeah, we're doing good. So- Sam, is this Molotov bothering you? No. Okay. Gary. Gary, question for you. What's up? What's up, man? Did you not, did you not think I could do it? Why, why would they throw me off? Why would they exile me? Do they not think I can make it here? Wait, do they exile you and then try to kill you?
That seems a little- It really- Well, I derive my victory ... have you [02:06:00] ever been thrown off a cliff before? Yeah, but that seems a little contradictory. Well, if you- If you're saying exile and you really mean execution, just say execution. Well, no, it's an exile if you survive being thrown off. Come on. At this...
Like, I get into this guy's face and I go, "Your legal system is very confusing!" Oh. Legal? That's the... That's not a term Moltovs use. We don't... It's nothing- Death Call Lawyer is gonna be the spinoff. We're gonna wait. Death Call. Dun, dun. Ba, ba. Directed by Nicole. Yeah, you throw them off the cliff. They probably- Sorry, I got to...
Please no. They probably die. If they don't, they do what they were sent off to do.
Wait, was I actually sent off to do something? Hmm, I don't know. Oh. Boss has been a little all over the place lately. Kinda... Well, I don't wanna, you know, I don't wanna talk bad about boss man. He's been a little paranoid. Paranoid? Yeah. As in- Talking to people that no one else sees. You... [02:07:00] Okay. Um- Are you their boss?
Throwing children off, well, their children off cliffs. Well, just the one really, but... Getting real into whatever revenge thing he's got going on with Stonewall. I don't know Hey, uh, DeckerOh my God. What's your boss's last name?We're caught between a civil war. It is not in here. His name is Gas. It's Dickery.
Tony Dickery. It's very different.It's always just been Gas. We don't have names. That's very confusing. No, so then what's a last name? I don't know. I- Like, when you die they give you another one? Yeah.So, like, if, if... What if there were two Deckers? How would you tell which Decker is, is the Decker you wanna talk to?
I don't think that's the point of this conversation, right? It wouldn't matter. We would just kill the weaker Decker.Then... Is there a stronger Decker? Is there a Decker you think is stronger? And I'm just gonna go for him. Oh. I don't think there's another Decker.Are they, like, guarding [02:08:00] a door or something?
No, they're sitting in front of this terminal.Okay. Can I keep walking past them? Like, yeah, you wanna walk past the big glowing terminal? I, I just- I want that glowing terminal.I don't think our aims are actually contradictory to each other. I think everyone here can get what they want, right? That's true.
Were you under any instructions to kill anybody else who came in here? Well, if they were, like, Infinite freaks, but no- Well, that's not- That's not us ... no way. Well, I don't have my gun anyway, so I guess- You don't. Yeah. I mean, we could work together. I'm fine with it.Well- I mean, whatever. I guess it's cool.Yeah.
Clearly outnumbered. Can't do anything about this.You about to open the computer terminal or...? Yeah. Uh, Sam will continue to try to putz with it.I push him out of the way. I'm gonna- Uh-Big on pushing lately. Intelligence and science[02:09:00]
Uh, so that's one suc- one, two successes, three, four successes. Yeah, I would say it's probably like a difficulty three, but I need to start saying that before you roll. That's like the thing I'm supposed to do. That's a major part of how it's supposed to go. Um, but hey, that's an action point. Ooh. All right, cool.
That's an action point, guys. Thanks. Um- Save it for when we kill these guys. Yeah. So... Hey. Yay. Yay. Uh, so there's a whole bunch of stuff on this computer. That's good. Um, it says like, "Welcome, Mr. Vickery." Um- And I lean back and I point at you and I go- Hey ... "How do you two know each other?" Oh, well, you know, you run a few odd jobs, you need to snuggle up to someone.
I- We go way back. I make a face like, like when you walk in on your parents being like loving to one another. Like, I go like, "Ugh." Hey, it's good to be working with you again. It's, it's good to see you. You know? You look fantastic. You look great. I like the hat. I got into the terminal. I'm in. There is a lot in this terminal.
Um, there [02:10:00] are maps of the tunnels, maps including where it turns into, uh, Infinitown. Um, there are diagrams of things. There are weird data things that you can't really parse. Um, and there are some logs, you know, some, some real fallout logs. Ooh. Oh boy, it's my first day at the big explosion factory. I'm so excited.
I love comfy shorts. There are four of these, I will say. I apologize. Uh, I tried to keep them short. Someone can read them. Ooh, ooh, there's four of us. There's four of us. We should- Let me make sure these are in order. Okay. Uh, da, da, da, da, da, da. That's the same one twice. That's not what we need. Okay, I'm gonna send the first two.
Okay. While I figure this out. Perfect That's how you do it. Okay. Welcome to- welcome to Tabletop Travel Agency colon popcorn reading hour. Log date question mark, question mark, question mark, question mark, 2066. Managed to [02:11:00] finally talk some sense into that crazy old bird in Vegas. He knows as well as I do that Vault-Tec will see us both burn.
We've reached a tentative agreement on trading information. I sent him most of the data from back when we cooked up Donnie-boy. That project's behind us now anyway. He can do what he wants with it. Got what I could out of his... Out of him about neural computational matrixes in return. That, that I'm a bit optimistic about.
AB's gonna see what he can make shake. OM. Log date question mark, question mark, question mark, question mark, 2066. Arlo's been working on building a matrix- Arlo's been working on building a matrix test. He's got his boy Travis in here three times a week just loading numbers in. Turning his data into things the computer can parse: strength, perception, endurance.
More than the number values a robot can digest. The computer nonsense has always been a bit more of his thing. I'm gonna guess Ali Millennium. Ah, god, I wish [02:12:00] I had gone with that voice. Uh, here we go. Ali Millennium, man of the future. Don't ask what I did in '09. Whoa, it was in the 2000s. Why are we lying now?
I guess- We're going back ... anyone with an accent. During the resource wars, I guess. Log date question mark, question mark- Oh, my god. ... question mark, question mark- More question marks. ... 2067. Ooh. Uploaded TV's matrix earlier today. Regular gardening model we had on hand to test it out. Results are middling. It's got personality, sure, but...
It's, it's got personality, sure. It's not your stock, standard Mr. Farmhand, but it's not Travis Vickery either. Call itself Travis, seems to like the same things, but just like Donnie, it's its own thing. Suggest we boot the thing down and try again. Arlo seemed to feel oddly about that. Fine enough. We'll put it back in the garden.
It seems happy [02:13:00] enough out there. OM.
Full power voice. Come on. Oh, God. Ah. So log date, question mark, question mark, dash, question mark, question mark, dash- Thank you, thank you ... 2068. A year later. Damn it, not here. Damn it. Damn it. Damn it all. W- we've toyed with the NeuroMatrixes on dozens of bots now. We've borrowed, begged for, and stolen every document we can, anything, and we can't get anything relevant.
Hell, I even toyed with the idea of trying the whole cloning bit again, but Dawn's a fi- Dawn's a fine enough reminder that that's suboptimal. Oh. Mm. I'm going to die here, aren't I, in this damned lab? Most likely. Well, what the hell is the point of building towards a tomorrow if I can't even grasp myself?
I'm going to see if I can't patch things up with Dawn. I'm going to see if I can't patch up things with Dawn. If nothing else, I can trust her head better than I can trust anyone else's. Even if she can't forgive [02:14:00] me, she won't leave the park or the town to rot. She can't, just like I can't. Om.
Om. Om. Om. There you go
What's this all about? Oh, I thought you guys would know. We gotta get to that lab. Hmm. This is the lab, sorry. Oh, this is the lab. Never mind. Um, I should have mentioned that- ... because you were busy having this standoff. Um- It's all right. There's, like, hundreds of Decker clones in, like- ... a big, like, hallway. In the v- true.
No, um, but- We look around. Z, you're a nerd. Any of this make sense to you? This room is a little more untouched. It seems that it has been preserved, uh, as per the request of Ollie, probably safeguarded by Arlo at some point, and then the people after Arlo. There is more in here. Again, it's, like, a lot of science brain stuff, but there's documents on cloning.
There's documents [02:15:00] on, uh, neuro computational matrix ex- this is or whatever. Um, that thing Mr. House did where he put, like, a woman in a Securetron, and it was kind of weird. It's that. Oh, yeah. Yeah, it's that. So- Um, there's a lot of things about, like, preserving someone, um, beyond the limits of- Hmm ... like, Oliver Millennium was trying to escape his death as he realized he was- Yeah
gonna die kind of thing, and Johnny Millennium was his first attempt. Uh, Dawn was like, "Hey, I'm kind of my own person. That's all weird." Um, he was like, "Okay, robots, that seems cool." A couple other, like, weird fringe things that he could get from his science friends. Uh, before that clearly just all didn't work out.
Um, do we see any evidence of, like, whoa. And are there any other exits or, in this room? Is there- No ... this is all it is? Okay. [02:16:00] Yeah. But- Like, a workstation? Do, did, was it, would this have been Ollie's workstation? Um, I- This terminal, this glowing terminal? Yeah, it seems like this was mostly a lot of, like... When I say lab, it's a lot of, like, where they kept documents and files- Okay
and research. They were not, like, making little, like, Ollie clones- Okay ... in here or anything. Just, just not that room. Um, but yeah, a lot of, like, this guy in his last few dying years just getting increasingly paranoid. Like, "I am going to find a way to live forever 'cause I've championed all these other things, and none of the things I'm trying are working 'cause these things all become their own things, and I hate that, actually."
Hmm. Um, yeah. That's a lot of what you're finding. And al- and also we have maps to the town now, right? Yeah, you have some maps to where you can enter the town, yeah. Okay. So he hated making new life unless it wasn't him. Love that. Very, very [02:17:00] classic. Very- Well, looks like once again, the pathetic attempts of a pre-war loser to escape death have failed.
Put a nickel in the jar or whatever. Mm-hmm. We can move on. Can somebody write these maps down? Do we have a place we can save them? We cannot put them in the robot. Yeah. We can't put them in you, Travis, unless you want them there. Do you think it would bother you? We can kind of expo Sharpie them onto your face.
Do you- That's fine. Teef has a Pip-Boy, but she's not with you. That's true. I don't want her to have these. Yeah, that's fair. Yeah, that's fair. Yeah, that's fair. She, she sucks. Well, no, she's great. She's... You know. Do you want these? Do you think this would bother you? Her whole family is- I'm not asking you to hook up to the terminal
a bunch of eccentric paranoid freaks. I'm just asking you to- I don't know why you think she's- ... get these maps so that we have a way of knowing where we are down there. I- I don't wanna mess with who you are, and I don't wanna change you at all. Can you, uh, pull up a picture of Dawn? It's a computer terminal.
There's no- Yeah. Like the, the- There's no- The JPEG file format does not exist. They've, they've [02:18:00] seen these before. What are you talking... They, they can do that. What? Mr. House has, like, his little picture- Yeah ... on the thing. Oh, okay. You think you just, like... That's all binary, actually. It's all some type. Look through the- All right.
Yeah, sure. Then... You know what? Yeah. Yeah. Sure. Can I do that? Yeah, you dig through some pictures. You find some cool pictures of Ollie, like him with the big mascot. Um- Was it balding? You know what? Just for you, yeah. Just for you, David. Uh, there's pictures of Dawn when she was, like, young and, like, always kind of, like, at her father's side.
I guess father. It's whatever. Um, and then, like, she was very, again, out of the public eye. Is the implication that Dawn is a synth? No. Uh- Okay ... Dawn is a clone of Ollie. Okay. Okay. Clone. Got it. It's, you know, one of the other 87 things that are canon in Fallout. Um- But yeah. I just, I hate Fallout lore. Cloning was actually, like, a...
I looked it up. It was kind of- I'm just saying ... it was a cool, hot thing- It is ... [02:19:00] before the war. Was that guy's name Gary? Yeah, Gary. In the Vault vault? It was Gary. It was. That's what I... That was like- That's where I was going with the reference, but I was like- I was like, that's a crazy- Oh, that's where- ... cool way to find out
you were going with, like, Gary. 'Cause that's what he called- So- I was making a Venture Bros reference, but like... Oh, gotcha. Weird for this group specifically. What is that reference? Yeah. Which reference is that? G- Gary is Henchman 21. Oh, yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Can't believe I just did that. But yeah. I think, like, there's a picture, like, towards the end of Ollie's life when Dawn and Ollie had this very tenuous, like, "I don't, like, like you or the things that you did to, like, make me come into being, but, like, I have this weird attachment to this thing by virtue of kind of being..."
Anyway, um, there's a family picture of Ollie, uh, Dawn, Elaine, who was Dawn's wife, and a younger Eve, probably, like, I don't know. Not a ghoul? Yeah, like a child. Pre-ghoul. Pre-ghoul. So Eve and Dawn are in the same picture? Mm-hmm. So Eve is not Dawn? Yes. Okay. All right.[02:20:00]
So let's go to Infinitown. Let's just go. We need to know- You just wanna go? I l- I look at these three... I look at the three and I go, "Well, no weapons. You saw it. All right, bye." There's no other companions you wanna go get? All your cool companions I gave you? It's okay, you don't have to. I just let- Penny, you wanna come with us?
Oh, my God, please no. Oh, sure. Yeah. Yes. We can talk all about- Except for the mild canoodling. Yeah, we can talk all about our torrid affairs we've had- I love this ... full volume in the tunnels. Constantly. Breaks to make out. Human flirting is so gross. Why can't people just beat each other up and then decide who's the strongest, and then- We do
have children with that person? We do. But you complain to me when I talk about beating each o- each other up for their food. Yeah, and I- And you're the one who's like, "Oh, not war", but you just say that out loud? In one specific context, I- it's fine. It's kinda what we do Emphasize. E- e- elaborate. What do you...
Well, what do you... Oh, okay. When- Into death claws. No. When a-- [02:21:00] okay, so when an alpha death claw and a death claw matriarch get together- Yeah ... they create a nest. And a nest- Yes ... creates a lot of death claws, and a lot of death claws create more death claws. They create alphas and matriarchs, et cetera, that spread.
Yeah. Yes. So there's a, a pattern. Same as... Yes. And the intelligent death claw do it the same. So some say- Only often that instead of the young, you know, playing or killing each other to survive, they have, you know, tests of intelligence and will and stuff like that. So true warrior, raider, alpha, peasant, cowardly, non-warrior death claw.
Well, it's more like, it's more like high intelligence philosopher usually won out, and whoever was dumber and maybe had some other interests, uh, lost. All right. I think I'm, I think we're- Well- ... missing the point. Um, but yeah, I will say, like, obviously going to Infinitown is your, like, big save point area, so if there's anything else you wanna do in the region, you can.
You don't have to. You could just storm the castle. Do you [02:22:00] wanna update me? Let's go kill that, let's go kill that tour guide. Let's go kill that guy. Penny? I'm hungry. Poor Penny. Let's kill him. I'm, I'm hungry. I'm a hungry bear. Let's go kill that tour guide. But yeah, if you want to go talk to anyone, you don't have to.
You don't have to. If you wanna gather any more suppli- you don't have to. I wanna get our weapons back. If you wanna get your weapons back, you should. Come with us and get your weapons back. You probably should. All right. Gary, Gary. What? You have two options here. Okay. Yep. You have two options. You can either come with us...
I don't want Gary to come with us. He looks... You look like a dork, Gary. You look like a dork. We're gonna hit him. He's, like, already acting out before you even, like... Or you could go out on your own, go walk on your own, and go find Gaz. Wait. And tell, tell Gaz that Decker is back, and they will await the throne when they get back.
Oh, that's pretty sick. That's pretty sick. Uh- So? Should I, uh, uh... I'll write that down. Yeah. So are you gonna go? Uh, [02:23:00] I, uh- Scram, Gary. Scram. Oh, okay. Ah. Um, leave as, like... Penny and Sam will kinda like, "Oh, all right. That, that's cool. I guess we're here." Dekker is grinning. These are your friends. You guys decide. I have no friends.
If you wanna take Sam with us, then we can figure out... It's, I, I think it was, they're just a good Samaritan, but I don't know. Maybe there's more there. Just- Do, do you wanna come along, Sam? I mean, from like a, a intellectual standpoint, I would love to see the town and like the things in it, and maybe you'll need someone who can like, you know...
Yeah, that'd be cool if you want me along. Eh, I think we're fine. Okay. Never mind, Sam. You get told like, "No, you go wait for me at camp." "Okay." He walks off sadly. Uh, I guess I'll- I mean, he's like good with computer stuff, but like, you're like a bigger nerd than he is, [02:24:00] so I- I guess I'm gonna- ... think we're fine Are you insulting me?
Try to get back to the generals and hope I don't get kidnapped by more raiders. How did you get in here? The raider brought me. Who cares? Go. Scram. Okay. They run off. And Pen- Penny's like, "I'm here." Uh, yeah, I don't want you- We still have a lot of stories to talk about ... to get scrambled. Oh, me either, sweetie.
Like, stick around. I've been really stressed out. I almost got exploded. I'm letting it out on other people. I feel bad. Uh, don't. It's amazing. I look, I look down at my feet and I kind of go like, "You, you can stay if you want. I, I feel bad" Do we want to talk to Eva- I don't like getting- ... and tell her what we know?
Who are you talking to? Pa- Patty. Oh, well, I wasn't gonna leave anyway. Oh, what? Why? Well- Travis said- I already said I could stay. Oh. Do you remember that time with the, with the armadillo art and the feral rule and the- Oh. That was a good time. That was pretty crazy. That was a fun one. I love playing ferals.
Whoa. I'm going [02:25:00] to eat one of them. I've missed this. Oh, me really. I'm going to eat one of the malt dogs. Do you still have that concert on Saturday? I do. Oh, I'll be there. Wonderful. I am surrounded- I am saving from ... by insane people. Oh, you're so sweet. It's okay, Z. You still got me. Welcome to the new world, baby.
So you wanna go get some weapons? Yes. I want weapons. Okay, wait. So is our plan to backtrack all the way there and just beat up all the guards and then get our weapons back? Uh, we have these new guards. You have the, you have the map now. And we have the map. Just, like, sneak. We could pop up closer to the, uh, weapons lockers that they put our weapons in.
Maybe get better weapons in other weapons lockers. And take these, we can take these positive charms with us. Well, I sure hope that's not reliant on some mechanic where we roll a bunch of D20 and the book decides- Oh, I hope it is ... to give us a bunch of torches. I sure hope not. I can't wait. I can't wait.
20 more signal flares. Woo-hoo. Uh, you don't find your gun- One of the bots ... but you do find two caps, Saw, just for [02:26:00] you. Whoa. Uh, what are these bots called? SecuroBots? Protectrons. Protectrons. They're not SecuroTron, like the- Yeah ... the androids. Protectrons. I'm gonna... Hey, Protectron. Hello, unidentified Vickory.
How many of you are on file? Uh, there are currently- Can you make them all explode? ... 32 active Protectrons. That will listen to me? Yes. Sure. Say, say, say, say, say, I'll, I'll explode. Uh, or just they'll listen to us so we don't need to bother them. Do it. Do it. No. Do it. That's a secret spicy tool for later.
Travis has completely forgotten that he is also capable of controlling the space. You are third in rank to command the Protectrons. Who's second and first? Second in rank. First would be Mr. Stonewall. We should go kill that guy. I agree
Let's go get our weapons so that we can kill him. So you can go roll a bunch of dice. I, I, I really [02:27:00] don't feel good. Use... D- does anyone better with this? I, I look, I look- It wouldn't happen to be a small gun, would it? It is a small gun. Oh, I'd love a small gun. I, I look at it. As a token of honor, I should. Do you want?
I'd love it. Travis grabs it and scum- Thank you, son. I think as we gear up to get ready, we don't need to roll a whole ton of dice on camera. That sounds kind of, like, not fun. Ah. Um, uh, so- It'll be a surprise. It'll be a surprise. I think we will handle, like, the mechanic part of this off screen. Uh, if there's anything else you guys want to do before you get ready to get ready, we can assume that that, like, happens, the gathering stuff part, and we'll come back to that.
Um, I assume- You do have to get out of the park, but as you have found out, these things listen to you, so we can kind of figure that out once you have all of your unspecified loot that you totally have right now. They follow us in a big unsuspicious pr- susp- uh, like- Just a procession ... [02:28:00] a procession of like- Are you just asking them to all come?
'Cause you have- They all kind of do, like, the conga. Like, they go like, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun. Well, you have two right now. I guess as you're, like, emptying out lockers and such, there presumably is something happening to, like, get you out, which I think is a simple enough thing to do considering it is the things that listen to you guarding the door, but- Mm-hmm
that's where we're at. All your cool new loot you have, aren't you so excited that you have it? I look all these loot. Oh my gosh. Wow, oh my gosh. I got so many guns. Wow. I hope I survive this fight to spend the money and sell the loot. And torches. And torches. All the torches. All the torches. I really hope it's dark during this fight.
I can't, I can't wait to find, like, 30 shotgun shells. That's gonna be so cool. Spent shells. Um, but yeah. Spent shells. With your pockets stuffed full of all of this loot- So much loot ... I just can't describe all this cool loot that you have. You now have the task of getting out of the park, and unless you're just heading right back in, like, I, I guess I can't stop you.
You might wanna rest. You might wanna [02:29:00] seek allies. We've had some injuries happen. I'm good with resting in the park. I don't want any allies. Okay, fine, no allies. Fine. Anybody who's rested. Anybody like any of the characters on the way here or...? I'm sorry, I'll just, like, go over here and, like- No, personality-wise they've been great, but, like, I don't, I don't, I don't trust that Eve lady as far as I can throw her.
All right? You don't have to. You can throw her pretty far, too. And I don't want, I don't want, I don't want Crocodile Dundee with us either, all right? I wouldn't mind some well-rested XP. I would love to rest. That's is... I feel like resting in the park might draw some suspicion. Who are you? The game master.
How, how dare you? I mean, you could. It would take a, a, a sort of, like... Is there a hotel chain nearby that we could perhaps, uh, stay the night? There's some kind of convenient chain of resorts, perhaps. I think that- Animal themed one? An animal fiefdom? You know what? Maybe a, maybe a boat. A big boat. Just for you, there's an animal themed [02:30:00] resort on property.
Phenomenal. What's it called? Improv. Go ahead. Armadillo. Paint me a word picture. I- Armadillo animal... Armadillo Arts, uh, Menagerie. Ooh. I feel like this is the fifth time I've heard you say menagerie this episode. Um, I don't think I've said the word menagerie. I don't think so. I don't know. Maybe I've hallucinated that.
Maybe I'm the ghost in your machine, David. Uh, Menagerie Motel. Menagerie Motel. Oh, it's a motel? Oh, God. Oh, yeah. Well, it's a highly themed hotel. It's like roaches in the... There's roaches everywhere. It's Florida. It's, it's Fallout. It's not, it's Fallout, it's Florida. This is how Flo- Look, bombs aside, that's just Florida, baby.
Bombs aside. That's just Florida. Look, you ever been to Tampa, all right? That's a quest. Awesome. So the party, uh, goes to the Menagerie Motel- We do ... to prepare for their last stand with all of their cool new loot. Oh, we, we polish them. We get them ready, all the weapons. I think that is an excellent place to leave us [02:31:00] for tonight as we prepare to go to Infinatown next week.
Thank you very much for joining us for episode three. Episode four will be our finale of the Fallout 2D20 system. I should probably just, like, rotate it in front of the camera as I always do. Ooh. Um, if you wanna be there for that, you should, uh, hit Subscribe, ring that bell, and join us next Monday at 7:00 PM.
If you cease to watch, it ends for me. Thank you so much. It's- Have- Please ... a great rest of your night ... I don't want to stop existing. We'll see you next [02:32:00] week.
