Fallout_ The Roleplaying Game Campaign Episode 2
===
[00:00:00] [00:01:00] [00:02:00] [00:03:00] [00:04:00] Welcome to another episode of [00:05:00] Tabletop Travel Agency. This is session two of the Fallout 2D20 system. So if you haven't watched episode one, uh, maybe go do that. I don't know, maybe you're weird like that, but, um, we'll get into a brief recap of what happened if you're weird like that. Before that, hey, I'm Val.
I use any pronouns. Let me turn it now to my players. Oh, me? Yeah
Oh, I'm nervous. You can do it. Okay, go ahead. I believe in you. Uh, I'm David, right? I think so, yeah, yeah, yep. You sure? Yeah, I'm checking my notes. Oh, let me, let me check the notes really quick, just... Sorry. I know this is a rules heavy game, but I don't think we need this as a reference. Heavy rules on the table.
No, no, no, this is good to know. This is good to know. For name and pronouns. If, if you... I w- I will yell. You will yell? I, I'm scared. No, don't yell. Okay. Um, I'm David, [00:06:00] the cool guy. This is Nate. Oh. No, no, no, your introduction. Just you. Just me. Just you. You don't want a, you don't want a title? Oh, uh, uh, uh, Nate.
Yeah, the, uh, what... You're the one titling me, knight me. Yeah. Um- Like real big fish if it sounded like Dave Matthews. All right, uh, I have the talking papers now. Uh, my name is Nate or N, and I go by they/them, and, uh, I'll hand the talking papers off to you. As the holder of the talking papers- You gotta give yourself a title
my name- I gave myself like four titles. I've lost it. My name is Ryan, and I'm the, the smart one. Is that how we're doing it? Ooh, I wonder what brain you're on. Yeah, that's what I'm going. That works. So we have the cool one, the smart one- ... the real big fish of Dave Matthews. Yeah. And now I'm passing the talking papers.
Hi, I'm Rachel, and I'm the Rachel one, and you're here in our [00:07:00] stream now, thanks. Please stay. As I try and get back to my notes. I actually have my notes on the back. And, and, and this show is hosted by Val. The king of the ring. Oh, God. Draupner. Uh, yeah, so we are going back to Fallout. Woo! Uh, 2d20 system.
It's pretty cool. Uh, we started off last week in the beautiful, uh, hovel of Everglade City, where y'all were, uh, resting, recuperating, getting back, uh, on your feet after a run-in with some raiders in the area. Uh, however, you have all set out on a, um, mission collectively to investigate these weird postcards you've been getting.
They all seem to be coming from Millennium Park, the semi-abandoned, uh, theme park in Arcadia, Florida. Um, yeah, we made some progress last week. We, uh, mucked about with a bunch of weird [00:08:00] horseshoe crabs mostly. Mm-hmm. Had some tepid conversations between our, uh, adventurers, and we are on the way to General Dray's Fun Croc Experience- Ooh
which sits just on the edge of Arcadia. Um, I believe where last we left off, you were just about to get there, um, much to the worry of your friend over here. Uh
Sorry, I'm blanking. Okay. We pull up on General Dre's Fun Croc Experience. It is kind of unmissable. It's, um, building kind of on the edge of Arcadia. Uh, mostly notable by the very large sign, kind of handmade out of scrap wood and metal, of a, probably a crocodile. Not the most, like, anatomically correct, but, [00:09:00] like, it's somewhere there.
Um, does say in bright, uh, somewhat peeling letters, General Dre's Fun Croc Experience. Um, not much else going on from the outside of the building that, like, gives away what that entails. There's a lot of, like, weird bric-a-brac memorabilia outside, you know? I imagine a lot of, like, lawn gnome-type stuff. Um- If you want to share anything about this location, I can tell you more, but this is what we're seeing.
Now, you're sure you don't wanna switch hats so that he doesn't know who you are? We should do the, the thing, right? Or we- We should do the thing. Oh, yes. We have to do the thing. We should do the thing. We should do the thing. Uh, can we, like, hide in an alley or something, like- Is there- ... like a place to be- ... a Floridian alley we can hide in?
A Floridian- A Floridian alley, like- I'm sure there's, like- ... a crocky alley ... there's, uh, some large grass you could hide behind. Ooh, there's- Yeah ... oh, there's Pokémons.[00:10:00]
I was about to say. More crabs. Tall grass behind me. We need to, we need to nestle down in the tall grass. Okay. Okay. We're gonna make him so you can't, so you can't say nothing, right? No. Okay, so you can't hear nothing. No, I can't hear. Can't hear nothing. Okay. You can say things, though. You can't hear anything, so we need a signal to indicate, like, j- so, like- We gotta get, we gotta come up with a signal to communicate to, to them to like say stuff.
Oh. How about we just kick him on the ass? Kick, just kick him. That, I think, is a bad idea, personally. It's elaborate. I, I'm not huge on it. Why is it a bad idea? Because- What's wrong with it? ... if, i- if that guy is- Like the guy who like tells you what to do, maybe a stranger kicking you in front of him wouldn't be chill.
Maybe one of us needs to m- each of us could mean something. Like if I raise, if I do a thumbs up- All right, well- ... it means we have to get the heck out of here. If you do something, it means we're, we're okay. And if you do something, it means we, we're even more okay. Or we could just do something discreet like fix their hat.[00:11:00]
Ooh, I got hats for days. What if we do, what if we do- I have many days. What if we do, what if we do this, what if we do this? Yeah. We do this, right? Um, a, a, a tip, uh, tipping your hat is- Tipping my hat ... is to say yes. Okay. Yes. Lifting your hat is to say no. Lift. Okay. And you kicking them is run. I mean, that works for me.
Does it work for you? And what is fight? I can do that. Uh, fight is... I shoot. Okay, got it. Cool. I see a snake. Fight- Fight is, I, I've, one of us will go, will go hiss. A- and no, that doesn't even work. No, no, no. Hiss. I- If we take out our guns, it's time to fight. That's a good one. I like that one. That's usually the case.
You know what? You know what? I'll look at you, and I'll go like that. Got it. Okay. All right. Are you prepared to disable me? Oh, very much so. Uh, and I, I'm gonna pull out my multi-tool, and I'm gonna, I'm gonna get, I'm gonna get to work. Okay. Um, [00:12:00] I guess this is a- There's high drone game. ... intelligence and repair?
I'm lobotomizing one of the PCs. Two natural 20s. Agility and repair? Agility and repair? It's intelligence, right? Intelligence and rep- I don't know. I, I, I would lo- You're lobotomizing him ... I, well, I know, but like th- So there might be some dexterity involved ... there might be. Um- I'll take- You got a lot of tiny parts
you, you pick. You pick. I, uh- Okay, I really don't want us to like just completely... Let's do intelligence and repair. Okay. I'll be nice. So that's an eight and a four. So below a 12. So a total of 12. So I need to roll below a 12. 12 or under. Well, I guess I don't want us to, you know, blow up Travis, so- It could just switch into Spanish setting or something.
What's the difficulty? Uh, well, it's- That'd be awesome ... what's your intelligence and repair. You would be great. My intelligence is an eight, and my repair is a four. Okay, so under 12. How do we- Oh, you have a Pokemon. We're just... I got 11 back here. So it's a nine and an 11. All right. That's an 11 and a nine, to [00:13:00] clarify.
Great. Yes, of course. Um- Add it together bad, but right now it's all good. It's all good So that is two successes. Um, yeah, you generate an action point. It goes into the communal pool- Ooh ... which we definitely did last time. Okay, this is a- I remember that was a rule ... I promise this is a bucket in the center of us, so I'm just using it for- Then this will be the communal pool.
We need something- I- But we have a max. Do, should we- We are already maxed out from- Our last adventure ... what we- this, this is the pool. Collect for the last one. Ooh, it's going swimming. Oh, you can only have five at a time, right? Six, yes. Okay. Six. Thank God someone knows how this game works. I have the page in front of me.
The classic DM, "Thank God somebody's reading this." Thank God. Like I said, I've read it, like, four times. That doesn't mean I actually absorbed anything. Digested anything, yeah. Wrote a 14-page guide on how it works. So, somehow. Um, yeah, you successfully turn off, um, uh, Travis II's auditory receptors. Can you [00:14:00] hear us?
You just, like, jam a bunch of, like- Yes. Wait. No, we're supposed to be able to hear us ... you jam a bunch of cotton into, like, the cracks where you think his ears might be. There, you gave a thumbs up when you asked the question- I'm just- ... which is what Travis was responding to. I asked him, "Oh, I can see the problem."
And he is now remaining quiet now that you are not giving the thumbs up. That's excellent. Here, let me. I just remembered something. I, wha- uh, before- We have no way of saying what. I, behind, behind Travis I'm going, "Shh," and, like, waiting. Okay, I think we're good. Okay. You're a glorified tin can- You remembered something
that hunts snakes. I just remembered something. I can disguise myself. My personality has no defined voice, so I could just make my voice whatever I want and nobody will understand. I, I, I tip my hat. Yes, yes, yes. Yeah. All right. Like, with the- And then, and then I, I kind of do, like, the, "Mm, mm," like a, "Let's go.
Come on." Okay. [00:15:00] Cool. Um- You step back out of the tall grass. No one's here, folks.
Wow, what a wonderful place I've never been to before. You don't have to do this. Um- Oh, but they do. Um- Since your time away in the tall grass- ... you turn back to, uh, general Johnny's Fun Croc Experience. Um, there is now a couple of people outside. Ooh. Uh, and by a couple I mean four, of course. Interesting. Um- Four.
Four friends? Well- With each other. Uh, there is an individual that, uh, Travis would recognize as The Man himself. Uh, kind of just a tall, scrawny guy. He's got on, of course, big hat, um, big mustache, aviator glasses- ... uh, snakeskin jacket- ... denim [00:16:00] jeans. Fantastic. Big boots. Um, he is talking to- ... uh, a bunch, three. By which I mean three.
Really struggling with the- ... words to describe numbers tonight. Uh, three people. They appear to be some of those raiders. Oh, sweet. That we, that we wa- that we saw from afar? Yeah. Oh, okay. There's three of them. Uh, and they're kinda like-
It seems like they're kinda like giving him a hard time and he's kinda just like, you know, "You kids get outta here," kinda thing. Okay. As you guys move up, you watch as Eric like 180s and starts walking the other direction. Wait, uh, this is where we're supposed to go. What's going on? I... Well, yeah, I know, but you don't want me.
It's okay. What do you mean? You can go on. I... So- I... Okay, I understand what you mean. What do, what do you wanna do? This isn't gonna be the only town we come across. We gotta have a plan for this soon. It's cool. I don't mind, uh, you guys are keeping me around. I don't mind helping out out here, and then you guys can do stuff.
I, you don't need me. [00:17:00] Travis is following you. So these are Molotovs or are they just regular? Yeah. Yeah. Uh, yeah, so about that. These guys are- I thought you were about to throw a Molotov cocktail at my head. At your head? Not the, not the raiders, not the guy. Yeah, get out of here. Crack. Go on, get. Um, as he commits only suddenly.
Hey. So these are the same guys that I was talking about before. Um, so I don't know if they're going to like to see me or hate to see me. Okay.
Um, now we can't really communicate this to our friend over here. If you c- if you have a series of yes or no things, you... Yeah, let me do something binary- No, no, yes ... with my, and I don't have a hat on, so I just... I got it. I got it. Hope I didn't say anything offensive in binary to you by accident.
All right. We're here as a pit [00:18:00] stop on our way to the park. Mm-hmm. We don't want any trouble, but it'd be good to figure out what these guys are doing. They're, they're heading the same direction it looks like we are. Mm-hmm. Might as well figure out what's going on now. We've got technically numbers. They're the same.
Better than 14 on four. Hmm. I could do some reconnaissance of a sort and come back to you guys if you want. If you're not, if you think they want you dead, you think they'll see you and want you dead- Oh, boy. I sure am excited to see the crocodiles. They also might not even recognize... I don't know. Do you want a hat?
Uh, . It does wonders. Implying this, th- this gang of raiders is fairly large or small, would I recognize these exact people, or- Um- ... am I recognizable enough that [00:19:00] they would recognize me? And would a hat help- ... factor into this recognizability? Um, I think kind of there's one that's clearly, like, in charge of these two other people.
Yeah. And you probably recognize them. Okay. Like, they're someone you've dealt with. And I think based on what I know about, like, your position, like, yeah, they would know. They would. Yeah. They, they should know me. They should know who you are. Yeah. Well, you're not with them anymore. You're with us. Do they have, do they still have any hold on you?
Um. That would never leave. Yeah. So, I think, I think I'm, I think I'm intimidating enough. They're not gonna... They're not. It'll be fine. All right. They should know my face. Offer the hat still on the table if you ever- ... I'll make you a really cool one. No. All right. All right. Um, to... 'Cause [00:20:00] I, I know loading is an option.
I'm going to just reload my musket with my last shot just in case. Yeah. Uh- You're already out of bullets? It uses five. Whoa. Yeah. Does, does it? It uses a whole energy cell is what I read. Oh, okay. Yeah. It uses all shots of it. I can double-check. Oh. The bullet system in this game is- It is wild. Um- Bullet system in this game is great.
What weapon do you have? We are grateful- The laser musket ... to be playing. Okay. Um, to be fair, it does a lot of damage. Yeah. So it go kaboom. And I was only able to afford, like, a little bit of ammo. That's fair. Yeah. Sure. I don't know what's going on. I also could be wrong. You could just give me more. I could.
Canonically, I could use the scavenge mechanic and scavenge more.
I think it just does five damage. I don't think it uses five ammo, unless I'm reading this wrong. Oh, okay. Then I- It's a fire [00:21:00] rate of zero, so you can't, like- I have to load it, yeah. Yeah. That's- That's the best part of every live Polka show. Anyway. Well, yeah, I was thinking we were good. Pull out your weapons.
I don't think you have to use five ammo to- Okay, I just read as it's five- No, that's just the amount of damage it does. Okay. 'Cause that would be crazy. Oh, I thought it said, like, five a shot, and I was like, "Okay, well that means I use five." Yeah. Then I'm just gonna reload my musket just in case. All right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I'm going to put on a very tall stature and just be like- Love it ... "This is fucking, this is my, this is my weapon. This is my personal robot." You're, you're a real big fish. Did you know crocodiles have conquered the animal world? I don't know a single, I don't know a single song by Real Big Fish.
You don't know a single song by Real Big Fish? I don't. We're not getting into this right now. Okay. This is just like the Bowling for Soup circle. I was literally- Phineas and Ferb intro. I was literally about to say their leader, the, the Bowling for Soup of Dave Matthews fans. Oh, okay. All right. You also don't know any by Avenged Sevenfold, but whatever.
I, I, I think I, I look and I go, "I mean, if you're [00:22:00] pulling the Band-Aid off, I feel like, yeah, I'll just go with, okay. I might as well." Yeah. I'm gonna have a death claw. What the hell are they gonna do? Yeah. They draw weapons, we draw weapons. It's gonna be, it's- I can be scary. You c- you- I can be scary. Do you wanna be scary?
You wanna practice?
Raw. Ooh. Maybe a little more like, uh, you got horns, you know, you give 'em a shake, you know, be a little menacing. And also, uh, you use your diaphragm. I think that, Vincent, I'm a singer, you know. You use, you gotta use your diaphragm to get that power. Rawr.
My heart's not in it.
And I just keep walking. All right. You're heading over? Yeah. Yeah. Forward or- Yeah. Okay. You he- over hear, like, kind of a little of the conversation. They're kinda just, like, they're bugging him. Okay. It's a lot of like, "Oh, you seeing anyone around? There's a lot of movement over here." You know? [00:23:00] And he's painting right now.
It's just a n- um been a lot going on out here, and it seems like you got always got people coming in and out of here. You're telling me there's nothing? And he's like, you know, he's kinda just got the crotchety old man energy. Oh. Old man. No, man. No, no. Old man. No. I can't. I can't. It's gone. Um- I've left that life behind me
it's behind me. "I already told you I haven't seen anything. Now get out of here." That's not an old man. It's not old man enough for you? He's slightly old. He's not elderly, he's just old. You can tell by the voice. You will know when a man is old. You will indeed, say. Um, yeah, he's like, "I haven't seen anybody.
Go, get." Um, at some point in this, like, it's just kind of a back and forth that keeps going, you know? They're just kind of giving this guy a [00:24:00] hard time. They do notice you approaching. Um- We are a happy family, here for a fun and educational time. Oh my God. Yeah, so heads turn. Um- Hi. There's a beat, and then the attention turns to you, I think.
Me. Oh. Just the glare. Uh, I don't have a hat to tip. See? Just the glare. And then sort of a nervous glance up at your companion. Yeah. You're s- How we doing today, dirtbags? You're supposed to be dead. Mm-hmm. Ooh. You think I'm supposed to be dead. No, you're supposed to be b- dead. Boss isn't gonna like this. Ooh.
I'm, I'm just gonna cock my rifle and be like, "Do you want to be dead?" You're gonna take out a molotov and be like, "We can both be dead." I'm gonna, I'm gonna roll a thing just for me, my own personal thing. Just for you. Just a little, little thing for me to see. Okay, you know what, I'll take that. I, [00:25:00] I think Zarek, like, comes up behind you and, like, kind of, like, tilts their neck and, like, a, like, around your shoulder and, like, a, "Okay, we're doing this."
Like, like almost as if I'm, like, a boa constrictor. Oh. Do you really think fire will do much? Ooh. Let's just say you guys threw me in the wrong pit. I do, like, that weird clearing of the throat sound- ... that they do. Like the ah, you know? Um, I don't know. I think you can make a strength and persuasion check for me.
Not persuasion, speech. Strength and speech check for you. Me? You. Me? Yeah, you're being scary. No, I'm, I'm a speech one. Be scary. Be scary right now. Ah, what is it? Strength and speech. Okay, so that's an 11- Charisma or- ... plus a- That's persuasion ... zero. So that's an 11. What do you think? What's the difficulty here?
Uh, one. You're a deathclaw. That's a 20. Oh. Two. Okay, so there is a complication. Oh, [00:26:00] boy.
So I think they're gonna run. But I do think they're gonna, like, potshot this small town cockatrice, 'cause, like, they're already holding it. Um, and you can decide what you do about that after the fact, but this is the choice I have made. Okay. It's fine
I was say- I was like, think that was like too cheesy to do, to shoot it out of the air. No, it's Fallout, man. Yeah. Come on. I'm gonna vat it- Yeah. That's chee- That was too cheesy? In an episode of the Fallout show they look directly into the camera and go, "War, war never changes." You act like that's too cheesy.
But here's the thing. I got big gun. I not good with gun. I just have a gun. No, see, use your musket to shoot the Molotov out of the air, please. Yeah. Um, right next to an old man. So shoot it out of the air, explodes onto [00:27:00] the guy we're trying to talk to. Not optimal. Um... At that point, is it not an act of God?
All right. If you put it like that, then rule... Yeah, I think I will... I don't know. I, I'm, a Molotov's being thrown at me as they're running. I would probably shoot them in the back when they throw the Molotov, but- Cool, yeah. Um, sorry, I have to get out my little conversions here. Ooh, okay. Yeah, I'll go... Yeah, I definitely will shoot anyone who's running.
Um, that is four damage at Zarek. And, uh- Where does it hit? Oh, that's a great question. Um... And are you flame resistant, too? No. It hits you in the torso. Okay. How much damage? Four. Four, so you don't get injured. Okay. So I take... What do you mean I don't get... So like I don't get- You don't get, like, an injury.
Okay. You do, you do- So I take, I take one damage because- Oh, my God ... of the plus two we got from resting, and the one energy damage- Cool ... that my, my chest plate disperses, [00:28:00] which still, 14 is great
It does technically do its effect. Let me see if that- Oh ... means anything outside of combat. Are you on fire? Oh, yeah, you are on fire. Oh, no. I don't know if anyone wants to do anything about that. Well, stop, drop, and roll, Xer. You could just spend an action to stop being on fire. I will spend- Like, we're not in combat
yeah, I spend an action to stop being on fire. All right, you stop being on fire. Do we, but we- Uh, but yeah, they run for it. You can like- Do we- ... you know. Is that one of these that he has to spend or, like, is it that he has to... his own actions, it's not like an action point? I'm not, like, in initiative yet. Okay.
If we all start deciding we're gonna just, like, start taking shots at them as they run. I'm gonna take a potshot. Great. Travis was told to, uh, enter combat- Oh, guns are out. Guns ... if guns come out. Okay. So in that case- Bye guys ... we are going into initiative at this point. Um- I bring out a Molotov cocktail. To the side.
I mean, if they're like, "You're supposed to be dead," and then run away, that's probably a bad thing. Um- Yeah. They're like, "Oh, the boss isn't gonna like this." Yeah, [00:29:00] yeah. Yeah. Um, all right. I have your initiative order, so I just need to add these guys into it. I think, I think, yeah. Travis too, just with the crazy initiative.
Go ahead.
Yeah, he's gonna try and shoot somebody
Yeah. Uh, so there's the leader- Do you think there's two? ... and there's the two- The- ... clearly not leaders. Um Yeah, he's gonna try to shoot the leader in the head. Yeah, sure. So that's just gonna add one to the difficulty- All right ... to hit them. Um, and I'm gonna- Do you wanna- ... spend one of these action points. Oh, uh, I guess we should renegotiate.
Decker- Oh ... and Charlie have the same initiative. You're in, in- I was- So you wanna go first? I was engaging. Yeah, yeah. [00:30:00] I was the one pulling the trigger. Yeah, I assume. Yeah. I assume, but you know. Yeah, yeah. And I'm Zarek. And Zarek's yours too. Spend an action point to- You have to have some action ... throw an extra- Heck yeah
d20 on this. No. No, I don't. All right, so it's a difficulty two with the- Yeah, if you're choosing to aim at the head. Um, that is four success. Hey, so that's- Woo-hoo ... two action points for you, the, for the table, unless you will be using them now. Um, I think... No, I don't spend action points for extra damage dice, so I will just send the action points back into the pool
And then my damage dice is three. [00:31:00] Um, I always will spend ammo for an extra damage
That is four damage. Cool. Um, what type of damage? Uh, physical. Okay. Four damage in the head. That is not quite enough to cause a head injury, but it's still, uh, not an area where they have armor on, so that's helpful
Ow, my head.
All right. Is that everything you're doing? Yep. Cool. Uh, it is the leader's turn. Uh, they are going to ... Well, they already kinda did their cool
thing with the wall
Yeah, they're gonna attempt to kind of I think they're just gonna try to, [00:32:00] they're gonna run. They're also gonna take out their shotgun and kind of just like try to shoot it behind them. Um
I don't know, but it doesn't wanna go too far. My shots are not really aiming great, so. You know what? It's Charlie. Charlie? Charlie. Oh, no. You look... You came up on the die. That happens. 'Cause they're kinda just, you know, again, like shooting. Me when I die.
Me when it is day. I was at a play last night, and I almost said that to my compatriot, who would've had no context. But it was night in the play. Anyway. For those at the table, we're at a play. And David just leans over and goes, "Me when it's day." Like, the lights came up- In the middle of the play ... and it was like there were cicada sounds, like it was that.
And then the lights went down, and I went, "Me when it is night." Um, what [00:33:00] is your defense? Is that a thing that you have as a player? So, like, I, uh, I wasn't even there. I, I've never even seen them before. Um, one. You're wrong. Okay. Um-
What does, what does any of this mean? There's all these words. And what it was was it's not that it cost me five ammo, I only had five shots. Okay. That's all I could afford with the starting money. That's what it was. Got it. Um-
Sorry, I'm trying to make sense of the eight tags this weapon has on it. Oh, boy. What does inaccurate mean? That means they cannot aim. It's a shotgun. Oh, gotcha. So it's- It's right here ... and they're shooting behind themselves. Yeah. Yeah. But they're gonna manage to hit me, I assume, in my soft, soft belly. Soft, soft belly.
Yeah, they did hit you once. [00:34:00] Ah, it's what happens. Here's to you, soft- My soft, soft belly
I picture you just like in a whole like line drawing Okay, well half the dice brought up nothing, so that does help you quite a bit. Um, three- Three? Three. Three Three Three. Um One. Two. Oh, wait. Three. One. Uh, uh, uh. Two. Uh, uh, uh. Four. Sorry, I had to translate like- Oh, no, numbers ... two weapon attacks to get there.
Um- Wait. Is this right? They have- Four. Uh, uh, uh I don't like that the numbers are going up. I'm not a fan of it. Try not to roll a one again. Four damage. Ugh. Um, I think that's like, uh, in one of your legs. My God, there's- Don't make it my left leg ... it's so hard without the funny thing that tells you the leg it hits.
[00:35:00] Yeah. Do you need the, the die that tells you? No, it's fine. I got it. I got- guys. Um, it was, it is your left leg. Woo-hoo. Is that physical damage resistance, or- Uh- ... physical damage? Yeah, it is physical damage. All right. All right, take three. He has psychic damage. Psychic damage. Psychic. Psychic damage. Shotgun damage.
Shotgun shotgun. All right. Uh, yeah, with that, that is what they're gonna do. Okay. Um- Decker. Me. Um, I'm, uh, so anyway, I started blasting. Uh- I start blasting. I'm gonna- Weaver is the farthest away. Actually- Yeah, I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go leader, obviously. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Um, so my difficulty is, to clarify...
Uh, their defense. Their defense. Okay. Which you know is one based off of Travis aiming at their head and succeeding. Sweet. [00:36:00] Ooh. Uh, that is a pair of fours. Cool. So that is a success and an action point. Yeah. Um, I guess roll to figure out where you're hitting.
Torso. Cool. We've definitely maxed out on action points. Hold on. I couldn't see 'em. I just was throwing. One. Hit him in the torso. Now we are. Four? You can buy more damage with those if you want. Let me, um... I don't know if these guys are chunked or not. Yeah, do you know what? It's my last shot. Let's just, uh- Why not?
Let's buy more damage. Okay. Let's buy more damage. Uh, yeah. Um, there's a conversion rate somewhere in here.
Oh, I forgot to put on my combat music. Hold on. This is too chill. This isn't combat music? Very pleasant combat music. There we go. Oh. Don't you feel ready to kill some people now? Even less, weirdly enough. I- ... this had the unintended side effect. I, I feel like I'm at a sock hop, as, as the kids would say. Yeah, you are.
Yeah. As the kids would say. As the kids would say. As the kids would say. But it's a sock hop- ... with punching. Sock. [00:37:00] Yeah, yeah. I'm not getting behind you on that one, chief. No. You're on, you're on your own. You are, you are. You're there. You're gonna have to tussle. So, if you want to- As the kids would say ... buy one extra damage die, it costs one.
If you wanna buy two, it costs three. Okay. And if you wanna buy three, it costs six. Well, let's just burn some, so let me get two at three. Yeah. Um, so that will be a lot of damage. Maybe I wanna do it too. You got three more. No, it's all right. They're all for you. I think I'm gonna keep- Well, you gotta earn more.
They're all yours. Yeah, get, yeah. It's, it's- Get to work. Earn some Oh my God. Be scarier. I whiffed that so hard. Oh, no. Um, I'm not scary enough? This is six, right? Uh, no, the three... Yeah, that's, uh- You get, like- Well, one, two is- No. Four ... one is one hit, two is two hit. Yeah. So one, two, three, four. Well, it's working you bought them, I guess.
Yeah, good thing I bought them. Four. Four, and an effect. Is there an effect? And it has, um, piercing. Cool. So I think that just ignores a...
I'm gonna get there, guys. I believe in you. Thank you. Piercing, uh, yep, ignores one point of their damage reduction. [00:38:00] Cool. So four physical. Uh, where did we hit? Torso. Torso. Cool. So that ignores their armor. Uh- Heck yeah ... and they take four more damage. Like, "Ow, my torso." I don't know why, this is- That's what they're like.
"Ow, my torso." This is the bit I've settled on for tonight. Um, yeah. Is that it? Yeah, that, uh, that's my one shot. Cool. Uh, Charlie. All right. Yeah. So I got a Molotov cocktail. You do. I'm gonna throw it. You do. Yeah. Go for it. Okay.
I gotta get less than a 10. That's pretty good. Okay. Yeah, that's a good shot. I got a five. Cool. Uh, are you aiming at the- I'm aiming at whoever looks like I could possibly hit them with a Molotov cocktail. So- Uh, give me a number one through three. All right. I'm aiming to, uh... Roll your- No, that can't be right.
Oh, two. Two. Two? Yeah. Great. [00:39:00] Uh, awesome. Yeah, you're hitting the second guy. Beautiful. So I have four damage just on that this time. On, yep, and the location as well, if you don't mind. Can deathclaws take drugs? I don't see why not. Uh, if super mutants can, then they can. Yeah. Okay Um, one, two, one, one So if I just, like, jack him up or something.
Man. Man is one plus an effect. He survived. Uh, Molotov has the persistent effect. Persistent effect, yes. So you do set this guy on fire. On fire. Uh, what was the hit location? I'd use my turn. Oh, oh, we're gonna find out. 'Cause they will take an instinct. How does this work? It's his left arm. Cool. Um- His or hers?
His or theirs? We got- Uh, high or low? Uh, l- low. Let me jet you up then. Cool, uh, he was a lefty. Woo-hoo. Uh, so he drops his weapon. Yay. Um- Get Molotov'd. Yeah. Jacksonville. Pipe gun is gone. Jacksonville. Uh, yeah. Great, [00:40:00] you blow up his arm. Yoo-hoo. That's pretty cool. Uh, also he's on fire now. That's even better.
Easier target to hit. Uh, is that your turn? Um, I, uh- Oh, the bitter irony. I think that's my turn. I don't know if I can do anything else. Also, I think since you had a tag skill on that success- Yeah, 'cause- ... you get an action point. Oh, I have a tag skill- Oh, you- ... and it's, there we go ... you drew a Molotov cocktail and threw it.
Yeah, I think that's your turn. Yeah, okay. Unless you were moving anywhere. Um- Now I have three Molotov cocktails. I need to put these. Um, it is his turn. He is on fire persistently, so I need to read what that does to him next. What does persistently being on fire do to you? Wait, they take half the damage?
Uh, if one or more effects roll, the weapon's damaged again at the end of their next and subsequent turns for a number of rounds- Which, which one are you looking for? ... I forgot, blah, blah, blah. Uh, character, blah, blah, blah. It won't get you angry. Off, out. The thing you're thinking of is off out. It just says that he just takes the damage again.
The four? Uh- It's on steroids. [00:41:00] Oh, yeah. I guess you roll it again? Oh, I keep rolling damage for him? I'm just saying you roll it again. All right. 'Cause it just says the weapon's damaged again. Okay. So roll some more dice and see what's going on. Again? Right now? Yeah, he's on fire. All right, cool. Let's
go. Oh, you threw 'em. That was like some infomercial. You're like- I can't hold all these dice. Okay. All right. I'll build a little beast. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I, uh, three. Four. And a guy. Four, and a guy. Oh, well he's dead. Woo! Woo. Uh, he was very on fire. I set him on fire till he died. And now he's gone. Uh, so he never got a turn.
His friend will give it a go, I guess. There's more where that came from, 'cause I got a couple more Molotov cocktails. There's a few more where that came- There's a few. There's a few. We have a few. A few. See, we got another. Two more. There we go.
I would say let's keep one alive, but our robot's deaf.
Yes. Going in front of the, going in front of the, like, one guy [00:42:00] living and being like, "Huh, huh, huh, huh." No, no, no, no, no. Yeah, um, this raider I think has less qualms about just shooting at Decker, and is gonna do that. Yeah. That seems like the person to shoot at. Yeah. I'm trying to make myself look like the leader of this group.
Yeah, this one's like, "Yeah, that looks like the leader of this group." Yeah. Um, and is going to let rip with their pipe gun. Oh, my goodness. Yeah. Me when I fart. Oh, thank
you. So upset myself for laughing at that. Yeah. I'm so mad. Who's king of the ring now? Stop. That's crazy. Okay. Oh. Um. You better than this. That's four damage, physical and magical. During the break, during the break Rachel's gonna look in the mirror in the bathroom and be like, be like, "You better-" Get yourself together.
Get it together. Get right in the game. It's just a fart joke. You don't need to do [00:43:00] this. Yeah, it's four damage. Four damage. Ugh. Okay, thank you. Yeah. No, no. Is it a certain body part or- Oh, yeah, I guess I should figure that out. Um- Do you want the body part dice? It's fine. No, I love doing these conversions.
Um- I don't think you do ... your left arm. My left arm? Yeah. Left arm, yeah. Not enough to injure it, but almost. I don't think so. You're not a leftie? I don't think so. You don't think so or you don't know? Th- th- th- Just say it out loud. Pick it for your character. No. There we go, yes. Make a decision, you fence sitter.
Who says that Decker can write? Yes. I accuse you of being a fence sitter. We need to see this. Odds, odds. I, I, I wanna say I, I don't think you are. You take hard stances on many things. Where do you... Okay, nevermind. Um, left. Wait, wait. Odds I'm, I'm left-handed. I'm right-handed. Bam. Okay. There we go. Fine. It didn't injure it anyway, so you're fine.
Yeah. We're all good here. I'm a fence sitter. It's okay. Um, Derek, it's your turn. Oh. Y- you called me Derek. I said, "Zerec," but you, like, laughed- I heard Derek, too ... through it. And it came out like Derek. Zerec. Zerec. I was so worried typing his [00:44:00] name. Zerec the Deathclaw. I was like, "If this, this is gonna sound like Derek-" Deathclaw.
Zerec. "... somebody's gonna-" I think maybe you're just a little nervous about it being Zerec. Maybe that's- Genuinely. Zerec, it's your turn. Eric? You just want it to sound cool, so you're like, "No, it's Zerec," but really your name is Derek the Deathclaw. I want it to sound like Char. Like a Char, you know, with a ah sound, but no.
Go, dog, sick. I'm gonna, yeah, I'm gonna click my tongue and say, "Sick," I'm...
Uh, how far are they? A few people in here sleeping. How far are they? Um. Medium distance? Yeah, medium distance. All right. Yeah, I can paint, I can paint one of them. Take a punch up. Teehee. Uh, where's the, where are the... Give me the- There are so many things. Yeah, give me the, these. All right. Uh, blah, blah, blah.
That is a 12 strength plus athletics, so that's 15, so that's two successes, so that works. Okay. Uh, who's the guy who threw the Molotov at me? Is he dead? Um- Or is he alive? No, he's alive. Oh, okay. He's like the only one- I'm gonna Pain Train, so that's- [00:45:00] Yeah ... uh, takes eight unarmed damage. Choo-choo. Unarmed damage, is that physical?
Uh, yes. Is that, is that a secret third thing? It's about to get very physical. Okay. So, so he is knocked prone and he takes, takes eight, eight damage. Like- Or eight die rolls. Eight, yeah, I was gonna say eight dice, right? Eight dice. He- Uh, and the location, if you will. I don't know if he's going to live. His entire body.
This is, I don't know if they're gonna live I was gonna say, it's a death claw. His, his everything, like... That's not how the game works. His top to bottom is just... Uh, right arm. His left arm. Pain Train, right arm. Just that arm. Okay, so the first roll is, so that's a blank. That one's- A two? A two. That's a boy, that's a blank.
That's a boy. It's a boy. So that's one two, and then one piercing.
Another boy Another boy. Blank, blank How did you do that? Very spinny die. And a boy. A boy. So two boys. Three boys, two hits. Okay. So it's three piercing, two hits. [00:46:00] Um, cool. So that's- Gonna cut his arm off ... five damage total, uh, in his right arm. Mm-hmm. Uh, you injure his right arm. Uh, are they a lefty? Let's find out.
Is this... Do you have to do this every time we hit an arm? It's really big for me. As a lefty, I like to like, you know. They wanna find their people. Right. Maybe if it's this random waiter in the waste- No, they're a righty ... or in the wasteland. Um, that's not their mom, however. A waiter? Really? Uh, they are looking very close to death, though.
What's the injury gonna take? Anything cool? Well, they dropped anything they had in their arm, which they didn't 'cause they're not a lefty, so. Uh, they can't use that arm, though, which is pretty cool 'cause... Oh, wait. They have a two-handed gun. Yeah, that's actually pretty good for you. Ooh. All right, cool. Say, "Ah, my arm."
Ow. Ow. Wow. So animated, I- Thank you. I really wanna ... you gotta do like, you gotta do like Bethesda hurt noise. You gotta go like Rah. Rah. Ugh. Rah. Ugh. Gr. Uh- And away with your blood ... Travis, too, it is your turn. There is one raider who has not been [00:47:00] hit and one raider who's been hit a lot. Um, I can't tell you to keep one alive.
Travis is gonna go with the one that has been hit. Yeah. Um. Yeah. Very much a, you know, take him down kinda guy. But once he's down, no promises. Um, the auto pistol has been working quite well, so I think he's, uh- Need to know. Do it ... again going to try the, the headshot attempt last time. Spend an action point to give me an extra die.
Oh, that's how it works
Oh. Oh, okay. Um, actually no, because my gun is reliable, I get to ignore one complication. Ooh. Ooh, that's fun. But there might be two. Um, I, I rolled a 20 and an 18. I don't think it's that difficult. Okay. [00:48:00] There's nobody in there. Um, I also rolled a two- You could just shoot him in the head, right? ... on my bonus die.
Um, so that is two successes, 'cause it's a tag skill. Um, so I should be able to hit them in, in the head. Yeah. Um, and I'm gonna spend an extra two ammo. They do look very almost dead, I will say, at this point. Travis really wants them to be very dead. Okay. Sure, yeah, no, I feel like that's a choice y'all can make
Uh, what's her six convert to? Is that- Yeah, I'd say that's a pit- that's a pit. That's a boy. That's a boy. Okay. That's a boy. So that's four damage. It's a boy. It's a boy. It's a boy. MousePad. Four damage. Um, I guess, I don't know why I asked. He had one hit point. Um, yeah, they, they die. You hit them in the head.
Great. They don't have a head anymore. Um- Ooh. Is there, is there one left? Uh, yeah, there is one left. Yep. Okay. Okay. Just, yeah, so now it's, it's- Um, well it would [00:49:00] have been their turn, but they are gone. They deceased. Uh, the last thing they say is, "Ow, my head." Um- Ow, my head, and then the head explodes. Uh, Zachary, it is your turn.
There is just one little guy left, who appears like they are gonna attempt to book it. They're gonna attempt to book it? Yeah. Um,
against my best inter- I don't wanna kill this guy. Yeah, I'm, I'm gonna let them, I'm gonna let them book it. Is it the leader? Or are you starting with- Why are you- No, it's just like- Why are you- ... some guy. Yeah, so you're gonna see me raise my gun, and I'm just gonna go, "Eh." I'm just gonna, I'm just gonna let him go.
Are you... Why? Why? Why? Because the legend will be amazing. Do you tell that to Z- to Z? To Z? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, Z's about to go after them. Oh. Charlie, it's your turn, I guess, if you're just- I'm gonna say keep one alive. Yeah. I'm gonna, like, yeah. I will tell, like- Then why'd we kill those guys? Why are we doing that?[00:50:00]
I want them to know. That's a terrible- Then they're gonna come after us. That's a terrible- Look. I'm gonna go kill him. Okay. I'm g- I- Uh, so you can either, actually, you can pass the turn. Yeah. Or you can rally to try to just gain some AP. Uh, yeah, rally. Cool. Yeah. So you're gonna make an, an... I guess you're trying to...
It's usually endurance and survival. You are trying to literally rally your group. Like, I would say some-
Do you want something and speech? Strength and speech- You're trying to convince us not to attack? Charisma and speech, your choice. Yeah. You wanna make an agreement? They s- Um, I'll go charisma and speech. They fail this check, we kill him. Yeah, so- Yeah, yeah. All right, there we go. Uh, so you're literally just rolling difficulties one.
Anything you get turns into more AP for the table, David. You fail this check, we kill you. Or we kill you. Not you, not you. You're fine. No, we, we're fine. You're fine. Yeah. Uh- Shout out Terry Schrivello. Uh, a 17 and a 10. Okay, [00:51:00] um, I- And my charisma's a nine and my speech is a five. Okay, so that's a 14, so that was, uh- Uh, one-
one success. Yeah. Um, I don't know. I guess this would be a difficulty zero check, so yeah, you, you just generate an AP. Oh, sweet. Yeah. Yay. Yeah, you wanna do- Go team. You wanna do. It's your team. He's a coward. I know. He ran. They're gonna kill him anyways when he gets back. I just don't want them coming after us.
There's still Panem left. They're going to kill him when they get back. If they know that you have a death claw with you, they will send more than four guys to get you
You might be right on that, but I'm willing to take some chances. I look at you. I s- I, I, I think we should kill him. We can spread the legend of you ourselves. Misty's just running as you're talking this out. God, Sugrima, what are you
doing? Make a shot. I have a Molotov cocktail. I'm gonna just throw another one. You should shoot. I, I, I'm very bad at shooting. He's got, like, one health. Oh my God. Well, then I missed this [00:52:00] shot. Fine, I'm shooting. Much to the Sugrima's- Save the Molotov cocktails. I'll save the cocktails. You have a limited amount of those.
I only have- Don't just, don't just go through them. I'm, I'm assuming I'm gonna loot these bodies- And you can- ... and take their Molotov cocktails ... we have some action points for the table. Oh. Action points can be used for a variety of things. Ooh, could that help me? Such as buying more D20s for a D20 roll. So if you're- Well, how many action points do I need for that, Val?
I believe it's one per- You can do a number of things. Oh, fantastic. Hold on. Uh, now you're asking some big questions. I wonder- You can even get a discount at your local Sears store. What about Kmart? No. So- But I know ... how- You will get more CVS Extra Bucks- It increases ... for your buck, so. Yeah, it increases, um, if you wanna roll three D20s, it's one.
If you wanna do four D20s, it's three. Pay for some Molotov cocktails. All right. If you wanna do five D20s, it's six. I'll just add... I'll do an extra one. All right.
What's the Fallout vault, uh, symbol? Um, flip it over. I think it's the one. One? It's a check mark. That's the one, yeah. Okay. No, it's a, it's a crit. I did get a 19 and a 14, though. [00:53:00] And a crit. It's a crit. That's two successes. Is a gun a tag skill for you? No. I don't think that doubles it. No, it's not, uh, it's, um- Um-
just small s- small guns. Well, that's two successes. All right. This guy only has one defense. Uh, that's, you're good. And that's an action point for the taking. Woo. I'll take you back. So go ahead and roll your gun damage. I'm gonna roll my gun damage- Yeah ... which is sick with these guys. Oh, my God. You literally need to roll, you need to roll one hit.
What's your fire rate? Can you add? Rate, zero. Okay, so you cannot. Not good. So you just- Oh ... need to roll the six. Oh, the other guy, right. Sorry. Yeah, this guy's- The other, I turned the other guy- I got so many boys. That's so- that's all boys. That's a lot of boys. I hit two. That's- I did two damage ... that's all, that's two damage and five- These, these are good
five boys. Two damage and five boys. That's two damage and five boys. Uh- Which is five piercing- And then... Is six anything? Is it tagged piercing? Is it- Yeah, six is our boys. Okay ... tagged? It's, it's six is piercing. Yeah. Five boys. That's five piercing and two damage. Seven damage. You got Yahtzee, is... Yeah. I got boys.
That was so [00:54:00] close to just killing him. Ah. With five boys on the table, that just kills him. That's so many boys on the table. That's five boys. I could paint rain him just for good measure. Uh, what body part does it hit? Just for fun. Let's find out. Just for fun and flavor. Let's find out. Take his head clean off- I just want a vaccine
before I say keep him alive. Torso. I exploded his torso. Yeah, you shoot this guy just, like, clean through the heart. Yahoo. I like the idea you let him live with, like, one- You're like, "Oh, I'm not that good with guns, guys." I am not. Just goes straight through the heart. Boof. Yeah, uh- Less, less of one health, a freight train death claw comes through and turns him to a paste in the ground.
Yeah. Uh, that is the end of combat, 'cause that guy's- Woo ... gone. Can we loot their bodies? Loot. Tell us what we got. Oh, oh, God. Loot, loot. What did we win? I heard that someone had a two-handed gun and I just wanted to investigate. I heard someone had two hands. Delicious. All right. So let's see. On the little guys, uh, they each have a tire iron.
I have a tire iron. Oh. I can't use weapons. Um, pipe gun. I can't use guns. Pipe gun? [00:55:00] Mm-hmm. Uh, I had, uh... I, I don't know what ammo pipe gun uses. He might be the death claw if he just, you know, can't pull the trigger. I came unprepared. I try, they're just too big. Thought about having a scene where, like, he picks up a gun and he goes, blam, blam, blam.
Oh my God. Bang. Well, now you can't do it. You spent it. Um- Audience, that's for you. Just for you
So, uh, pipe gun Pipe gun ... uses- You should pull up the, like, digital version of this book and look it up It's harder. There's so many pages. Does it not say what kind of ammo it uses? Does it not? It's... I think .338, if I could guess. Well, .308 would be handy, but- I think actually .308 off the dome Where does it say what kind of ammo they use?
I have taken two shots to my head. I don't understand. I fall. I feel like that's just a thing that should be on the table. It's been good, right? The, uh... Don't you think so? Oh, it's just- You think so. It should- [00:56:00] Oh, no, it's in the- Yes ... following pages. It's ridiculous. It's ridiculous. Pipe gun, .38. Um, can you use .38?
Ah. I mean, I don't have any, but I could grab some if they have it on them. Yeah, they do. Okay. Um, go ahead and roll- .38 ... uh, roll three of those dice to generate some ammo off- Three dice ... off these guys. And I'll steal a pipe gun. It's not stealing, they're dead. Um, converting that- Um- ... into boys- That's- ... not boys.
Ooh. Wait, hold on. Oh, am I supposed to roll boys? Yeah. Usually I roll boys. Roll boys. I apologize. That's nothing, nothing with a hit. Hold on, I'll... I can roll... Uh, do, do you want me to roll boys or do you want me to just take that? I can take that. It was four, three, two, one. It's fine. That was, that was- That's so much ammo on that
nothing, nothing, and a hit. You get one ammo on that if you wanna reroll it. I feel- 'Cause I feel kinda bad, you're getting one ammo off these guys. Let's, let's see how much better- You know, roll four dice. I'm rolling- Roll four dice. I'm feeling gen- I'm feeling generous. Four dice. Feeling generous? I'm feeling generous.
That's one boy. It's- And the rest are garbage. Three ammo for you. Woo-hoo. Maybe we should just use normal dice when it's ammo. I don't know. I don't know. Okay. But you get that. Um- And I get [00:57:00] a pipe gun? Hmm? And I, and I take that pipe gun. Yeah, you can take the pipe gun. Is it like a pipe rifle, or...? Pipe rifle.
It's a pipe gun. Pipe gun. Small gun? Mm, small gun. One-handed? One-handed? Uh, yeah. Okie-dokie. I'll leave it right there. It's unreliable. That's all right. So am I. Uh, and then on the leader, you find a dose of psycho, if someone wants that. Woo-hoo. Uh, me. So great, you have some psycho. I, I totally know what that does.
Uh, it's- It's a drug. Yeah, it makes you do more damage. Uh, also, you know, maybe- Become addicted to psycho ... psycho's a hell of a drug, isn't it? It may be, it maybe does something to your mental state that would cause- Is it, like, in a syringe, or is it, like, a, is it a Huffer? I think psycho's like- It's a pill ... a patch.
It's a syringe. Syringe. Yeah. Ninja? The model is- That is- ... a syringe ... optimal. Okay. Yes. I will take the... It, it's labeled as Angry Juice. The Big Red One, or Angry Juice, is a military grade performance-enhancing drug in Fallout. Angry Juice. Uh, yeah. That is exactly what I just asked for. Perfect. [00:58:00] Yeah. So yeah, you have that now.
Awesome. Um, they also have- If you inject me with psycho- ... this double barrel shotgun on them. I swear to God. Uh, n- and a machete. You're, like- Ooh, is a machete better than a firearm? Is there anything, anything else? Like, like, they got garbage? Uh, oh, God. Let's see. Scavenging is a whole chapter in this that I still dubiously understand.
Do we wanna figure out scavenging tables? Is that what we wanna do with our time? Ooh. I can entertain the audience with Deathclaw fun facts while you look. Please, go ahead. Uh, h- Deathclaw fun fact. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. The Deathclaws are the most underutilized part of Fallout. I bet you're like, "They show up in everything."
The intelligent deathclaws are one of the coolest parts of Fallout, and they don't get brought up ever. As we've all heard every session for all of Call Time. Can I ask you something? Sorry, go ahead. You take us on these circus adventures about your special interests every few months- ... and the second I think something's cool, suddenly it's a problem.
All right? All right? [00:59:00] I- circus adventures are my special interest. Very hard to say. If it was my special interest, you would not have killed that woman. Anyway. Y'all hung out with that weird bisexual the whole time. Which, wait, which one are we- And the boat guy. Which circus adventure are we talking about?
Oh, we're talking about Cordolytes. Cordolytes. Oh, Cordolytes. Cordolytes. Cordolytes. Cordolytes. Cordolytes. Cordolytes. Cordolytes. Cordolytes. Cordolytes. Cordolytes. They just couldn't get over that the, the- I thought that was a personal story
you were sharing. That gondolier was- Why would- That gondolier was too hot You wouldn't have killed that girl. That gondolier was too hot. Gondolier was too hot. Oh, there's literally a random ammunition table. You slipped into the old man voice for a second there. Praise the Lord and random ammunition.
Praise the Lord and random ammunition. It's a song from Fallout. 3 AM. Ooh, this is fun. This is fun. Uh, two people at the table can roll me two D20s. You wanna be the second person at the table? All right. Do we each have to roll two, or we roll all four? Yeah, you roll two and add them together. Oh. Oh, okay.
We're rolling together. Two separate, or...? Yeah, add them together separately- Nine ... and give me both of your- 16. You're doing your own number. I'm so sorry. This is not, this is not a group roll. Nine, seven. 16 and 20. 16. So I [01:00:00] got a 16. 36, 16. Um, yeah, you find a bottle of beer on one of them. Oh, gross. And you got...
What was your roll? 36. 36. You find some food paste. Food paste! There you go. That's, uh, that's scavenging for food and beverages. Ooh, nice. And also, I know how to do ammo now. It's better than we did, so maybe we should take requests. Nice. I think it kinda looks like Edward Scissorhands, like, while I'm digging through this, like, debris.
And then I kinda, I go- Cool. That number, uh, you got from ammo before, add 10 to that. Woo-hoo. That's how much ammo you got. Okay. And then I, I go, I, I pop out a bottle of beer- One, two, three, four, five, six, seven ... and I go, "Oh, well. Uh, yeah. That's how you-" You're supposed to roll randomly for what ammo you get, which seems a little weird if people have, like, set weapons they're carrying around.
But, you know, that's okay. Yeah. Me and my pipe rifle I have shotgun shells for. Doggy. Yeah, my mini nukes that I have for my, my fusion core. Finding eight mini nukes on a dog. What was this dog [01:01:00] planning? Five. Give us the codes! Just kill, like, the centaur that just has, like, 20 mini nukes. You, you, you scav- you find, like, the dog has, like, a, a little thing labeled manifesto on it.
Just scribbled letters. All right, all right, all right. It's just several countries. Um- General Dragie, who is no help to you, kinda, like, looks at the exploded raiders, like, "Huh. You can come inside if you want" And I, I, I look at him and I go, I, I go, "Yeah, get in here." Hey. We appreciate the hospitality. Yes.
Yeah. Come on. Uh, yeah, you are let inside of General Dre's Fun Croc Experience. Um, it has a sort of Ripley's Believe It or Not aura around the inside. There's, um, you know, there's bones of things glued to other bones of things. There's some pre-war relics, [01:02:00] uh, grossly mislabeled. There's paintings and, like, pictures from magazines up on the wall.
Um, and there's a, a large door that says Fun Croc Experience. Are there any hats for sale? Yes. Woo-hoo. Is there a specific kind of, uh- No, stop ... like perhaps a small red fez of some kind? No, no. No, we got- Not every oddity shop is a reference to that one oddity shop from- Sorry, sorry ... a guy who's only seen Boss Baby.
Um, I think there's like a baseball cap that has hand, like sewn onto it, like a, a, like primitive rendering- ... of a crocodile. That's amazing. This is a great, uh, shop you got here, uh, sir. [01:03:00] Ah. General. You know, I try. You know, you can look at my stuff for free, 'cause you helped me out there. Those are- You look kinda like a, a robot I sent out a bit ago.
Oh, we've had this robot a real long time. This is, uh, uh- The Hat Man ... Derrick. This is Derrick. He, uh- Derrick.
I'm a hat aficionado myself. I'd actually like to purchase one of your- Oh ... kind of accessory, uh, accoutrement. I'd like to buy a hat. Yeah. Uh, 20 caps. It's pretty good. All right. Do I have 20 caps? I'd like one. I think I've got to buy the hat. That was a very good one. I never wrote down how much caps I have.
I've never heard that word before. I have caps. I imagine it's convection. Uh, I can only- I imagine you've heard a lot of things. Do I have caps? Do you have... You should have had caps. Okay. I have, I have possum bits. You should have started with some caps. Okay. Um- No, I'm, I'm gonna say this out of character.
We could rob this guy. Oh. Wow. Is it not in the Fallout spirit? Wow. Um- Motor 1, neutral ... he does have a... Well, well hold on, [01:04:00] he does have a Snake Sim jacket, and that would look- Yeah, and he's got... Even your glasses, and you're
gonna mess with him? I could do it. Then I can have all the hats I want. He's got denim jeans, and you're gonna mess with him? His boots, do they have the fur? They have pigskin on them. Everybody in the whole club was looking at General Trace- General Trace. Of, I think his name is Sand Anne. What a great- Trace.
What a g- what a, what a great, what a great fish with a PH reference. Um. I don't know any songs. Sorry. I was like, sorry, the joke is still going. Oh. What type of gun do you have? A pipe gun? It's not what David has been doing. I have a pipe gun, and I've got a, which is new, and I've got a hunting rifle. It's new to me.
It's a pre-owned pipe gun. Hunting rifle. Uh- What world is such a beautiful place? Working backwards- Working backwards from what path you took, you have [01:05:00] 15 caps. Ah, dang it. Well, you take 10 for the hat, and I'll throw in, uh- Some bits. Uh, y- uh, oh yeah, I got awesome bits. Uh- I will, uh, I'll crack open the beer I just looted, throw it at you, and- 11
start to sip it. Like, 11 caps. You know- I'm not even gonna make you make a barter check for that. A cool beer and kind of some of the money he asked for sounds pretty good. Fantastic. He takes the beer, just, like, chugs it. Oh. No, I was saying, I was- Oh, no. I was gonna use the hat and half the beer. 11 caps and possum bits.
He takes the possum bits- That's fine ... and chugs them. Chugs them? Chugs them. Chugs the possum bits. They're bits. They're bits. I have 10 caps. And a hat. A cool hat. Oh, man. I immediately put it on. Yeah. It's really cool money in this game. Can't be used for, like, guns or stuff. That would be a really bad idea, to spend all that money on a hat.
On a, on a hat, yeah. Yeah, it's fine. Like, how does a cool hat... It's in a, it's in a hat rack. "What brings you [01:06:00] folks in?" What does bring us in? We're heading to the park. So why did we stop here? Because it would seem plot relevant. They- Can you sing your quartet- It was, like, the last stop before you moved into Arcadia- Yeah
which is like, you're gonna start getting questions from Infinites and such if you step into Arcadia. So this is like- We gotta ask, yeah ... a stopping point. Okay. Do, uh, those guys show up here often? "Oh, I mean, they've always been around. They've been getting really antsy lately." Hm. "I don't know." Hm? That's usually not good when religious fanatics get antsy.
What's that about? "Well, they're not-" We're not really re- No. I mean, they're not really religious. Religious fanatics are inside. "Well, they're not... It's weird. Uh-" People obsessing over MacGuffins getting antsy is
not a good sign. We've- If those guys was the raiders that we just met- "Well, they've been going back and forth- Those are not the type of people ... with the people in there forever, but I guess, uh, something's got Vickery riled 'cause he's been hitting at them. Yeah. Usually it's more of a defensive... Oh, he's, like, in [01:07:00] charge of the Infinites.
Oh. Stonewall Vickery. The- Are you serious? Uh- I adjust my hat. Oh. Well, watch who you throw- Oh, no Southern references there. Watch who, watch who you throw stones at, 'cause- ... maybe I didn't name this one, David.
He's a good boy. A good Southern boy. A good Southern boy. He's not a good boy. He's a bad boy. Bad boy. We can, we here at Tabletop Travel Agency- ... wanna take a firm stand on this one. Yes, firm stance on bad boys. What a wonderful, informative, and entertaining experience you have here. He's really into- Mate
crocodiles. He looks so much like that robot I lost. I'm gonna just- What did the- No, no, no, no, no What's the deal with the robot you lost? Oh, boy. Oh, well, this guy came by, sold me a robot. Pretty cheap. Who's the guy? Uh, I don't know. Some m- ... Oh, well, he's, like, kind of my mechanic. He's been gone for a bit. [01:08:00] Oh.
Sam. Where's he at? I don't know. He's been gone for a bit. Do you know, like, in the, what direction he, like, usually hangs out in, or...? Well, he usually comes around. Sucks, I haven't been able to fix my Salamander Sam animatronic in a bit. Oh. Points at an animatronic. You got a Salamander Slim back there?
Salamander Slim, sorry, yes. That's his name? Salamander Sam. Yeah, uh, he, like, pulls back, like, a curtain. It says, like, Salamander, and then it said Slim, but he crossed it out so it's just Sam. 'Cause that's, like, copyright. Legally distinct. Legally distinct. Legally distinct Salamander. Yeah, it's your good friend, Salamander Slim.
Uh- Usually he's able to, like, smoke the cigarettes, the whole thing, but I haven't seen Sam in a bit. Anyway, he sold me a robot real cheap. Thing was a pain in the ass, though. Do you think he could fix it? Sent him out for a bit. He hasn't been back, but- Keep him talking, I can- Yeah. Here, hold on, and I'm gonna, I'm gonna- Did you wanna do the...
Oh. I'm gonna try to- Never mind, I don't think you wanna do the croc- the, I don't think you wanna do the croc experience. Why wouldn't we wanna do the croc[01:09:00]
experience? I just don't think- Uh- This has everything to do with our missing robot ... I'm gonna go over while they're talking, and I'm gonna go to try to fix the animatronic. Ta. What, what do I roll for that? Repair? Would you be interested in us, uh, finding this robot for you? I mean, if you can find him, I'll, I'll maybe pay you.
What about the- Oh, maybe Sam can help us ... what about your guy? We only have- We only have at least 10 caps ... we only, we only have the guy. What about the guy? What, the guy? Sam? The guy, the guy they lost. Oh, Sam, yeah. No, not the salamander, the guy that they- No, I misnamed the Salamander Sam, and it's Slim. I know.
Sam Uel is a mechanic who sold, uh, Travis Two to General Drye. You ever think of, uh, maybe that, that Sam guy pulled a fast one on you? Maybe he programmed that robot to go right back him after he sold him to you. Oh, maybe. I mean, he disappeared. Maybe that's why he's not around. Robot disappeared. Maybe.
I'll take my payment now. Oh. I'm kidding, I'm kidding, kidding. But those guys we totally just avoided for now. Right. He's waiting for you to give the- Yes. Um- So it's repair and- Repair [01:10:00] and... It'd be int, right? 'Cause- It is intelligence. So that's a 14 and a 12, so that's a one. Meeting is passing, right? Yes. Yes.
'Cause it's a 12 I have to hit. Yes. So... I don't think this is a difficulty one to fix an... This animatronic. You want an action point? It's pretty advanced. I'll take an action point. Do you want an action point? Like, a Mr. Handy is one thing. You've seen those before. This is a- Are you serious? A 14 again? This is a unique piece of equipment.
All right, yeah, yeah. There's a lot of, uh, advanced circuitry that goes into making Salamander Slim smoke that cigarette for real. So, so sentient ro- so sentient robot chill, but- But, but Disney animatronic. Oh. So legally distinct park animatronic. Oh. Yeah, you think you're gonna make Salamander Slim stand up out of the chair?
Do you know what that took? Hey, hey, hey pal. I do.
Hey, pal, we've all seen a Kevin Perjurer video around here. You're not gonna go, uh, acting like you know more than me. [01:11:00] We- I've seen the hand witches. Oh, God. All right. I, I got, yeah, so one. So I guess I failed. Yeah, no. I'm sorry, it's advanced circuitry. It's like nothing you've ever seen. Um- I mean, to be fair, all we've actually seen you do is make a robot work worse.
You've broken a robot. Yeah, you have broken a robot. You're not wrong. Anyway, what... I, I, I go, I go, "Ah, it's FUBAR."
Uh, so you need anything? We're just passing through on the way to Infinite Town. What's- The InfiTowns. What's- No, the o- the Millennium Park. Millennium Park. Oh. Well, what's the Croc Experience? I shouldn't have asked. It's okay. Hmm? I don't think you would- What's the... I look at them and I go, "Hmm." We took
all this time in getting here, which you bought. Look, there- I have time ... [01:12:00] I got a couple folks here that were talking about the park themselves. They've been lodged upstairs. I step forward. What's the Croc Experience? Ooh, well, it's 20 caps if you wanna go. I killed a man for you. Oh, uh, it's closed right now.
Oh. Maybe I- If I, if you wanna look at the croc experience, I'll let you do it for free this one time. Okay. But you can't lob anything at it, that costs extra. Lob anything- My eyes, like, open wide. What? You can't lob anything at it, that costs extra. What about a gentle toss? Anyway, if there's some g- There's some people upstairs that were talking about the park.
You might wanna, like- Okay ... talk to them. Okay. All right. He will walk over and unlock the croc experience for you. Um- Well, we'll go check on them in a second. We got some crocs to experience. We got [01:13:00] some crocs to experience. You are let into what is, uh, ostensibly General Dre's backyard, where he has dug a large trench.
Amazing. Uh, in the center of the trench, surrounded by a sort of moat, uh, there's a large cage- Oh, no ... in which is, uh, a creature that's sort of like a, sort of like a gator, if you will. Am I looking at a bunch of gator claws in a pen? There is, there is one gator claw- ... in a cage. I look at it and I go, "Oh, okay."
Oh. Well, the last guy really didn't like it. Humans kept, like, great apes in zoos. It's, it's a totally different species. Well, the last one got real upset about it. What do you mean the last one? You've seen how the death claws like, like Xeric over here? It... Wait, like me, or? I mean, he's upstairs. You can go talk to him if you want.
Wait a second. I lit- like, I literally throw- I, I, I throw this old man on the floor and run inside. You might need [01:14:00] a bigger enclosure. They need at least... They, they, they... Uh, yeah, uh, you head upstairs. Again, uh, General Dre will sometimes just, like, rent out rooms to people that are trying to get close to the park.
Um, usually that's ill-advised, but you know, he makes money off of them. Um, yeah, you head upstairs. There is, um, in this area, two individuals. Uh, one is a death claw. Like, a death claw, death claw? Or just- Yeah, it's a big guy ... a death claw? Okay. Oh, good. Big guy. Do I recognize him? They don't, you don't all know- Well, they don't all know each other.
No, but like, there's like eight of them. Like, there's not many intelligent death claws around. Where are you from? I'm from Utah. Utah? No. Okay. You recognize him. Uh, and he is with a kinda wiry person who's wearing just kinda, like, robes. I, I, I don't know how to approach this situation. Travis sees the other deathclaw, is like, [01:15:00] "Ah, another deathclaw.
Good friendly creatures." Uh, hello, fellow travelers. Oh, oh. Uh- Is this just not absolutely insane to anyone else in this room? It's kind of gotten... I've gotten used to it. No, this is, uh- He's part of the- ... this is very odd. Um, he- hello. It's weird for me too, to be fair. I'm Oxys, it's nice to meet you. S- Sarek.
Where are, where are you from? Utah. Oh. Where are you- There are a lot of you out in Utah? That's where we're from, yeah. California. Well, yeah, but nearby. So you're from California? Yes. Oh, okay. Um- It's, uh, interesting to meet you. Very odd, yeah. Ooh, um, I... No, I'll talk to him a bit more first. Is he, is he- Never mind
probably bigger than me, I imagine? He, he looks older than you. Oh, okay. He's been around for a bit. You guys heading over to Millennium Park? Kinda, yeah. [01:16:00] Or- Do you have a reason for going there? I, I've heard tensions are high. You heading over there for any reason? Well, I... It's really not of any concern to me, but my friend who I escorted here was very adamant about going.
Um, she's probably poking around over there right now, actually. Um- Oh, they went without you? Well, she, I don't know, scuttles about in the tunnels. Mm. I've advised her against it, but... Do you know what brought her here? Yeah, I don't know. Uh, she was a friend of mine for some time. Uh, she has had some information about the Infinatown for quite a bit.
Uh, got it in her head she wanted to make the trek. I was worried about her. That's quite a long way to travel, so I came with her. Uh, I don't know, she has some information about the town, and she wants to investigate it for herself. [01:17:00] I show the postcard, um, to Oxys you said? Yes. I show the postcard to them and say, "Does this, uh, look familiar to you?
Does it s- uh, do you know anything about this?" Chances are that this is f- from Eve, I would imagine. From Eve? Yeah. That's the name- That's my friend. Okay. Uh, I don't know. She's been making a lot of big moves since we got here. She's very interested in studying the park and seeing what she can do with the information she has.
Okay. It might be good to talk to her. What part of California are you from?
Uh, hold on. Yeah. I know this. Uh, uh, uh, Bakersfield. Bakersfield? Bakersfield. Oh, okay. Uh, how'd you meet your friend? Uh- Usually human settlements don't really mesh with deathclaws. No, sorry. Wait. Oh, I'm suddenly very old. I've been sent forward in time. Hey, manoon, deathclaw. Oh, old[01:18:00]
man noises.
No, Bakersfield. Um-
Well, I don't know all of the details of how I got there because I was an egg at the time, but I was raised by some of the individuals in the area. Ghouls mostly. Oh, okay. Oh, so your friend's a ghoul? Oh, yes. Oh, okay.
I don't, I don't actually know every ghoul Uh, you... Hmm. Well, I might. This would, this would be a really difficult check. Okay. Uh, you could roll a- I'm gonna see if I can- God, they don't have a lot of good, like, mental stats in this game. 'Cause it's for shootin' stuff. It's for shootin'. It's Fallout, with guns.
Like, no history or a- so I guess, like, a survival and a intelligence? Okay. Survival and intelligence. Oh, well, intelligence has only one, [01:19:00] but survival c- uh, those same thing. If you have an argument for something else, feel free, but. No, um. I think this is a difficulty- You're welcome. What? This is a difficulty- Sorry, I'm having a brain bleed
three check. A difficulty three check. So I'm gonna- Which you would like to make it ... I kinda wanna buy a couple more. If I use, spend three, that's two more dice? Or- Uh, yes, that's two more dice. Do we feel like we are, we're plenty- You also, s- survival, one- Survival's a tag skill ... yeah, so each success counts for two.
So should I just buy one? Do- In, in case? Why not? Do you- Right. We've been getting them back recently. Oh, we're, yeah, we got 'em. Yeah. Okay. Go for it. I'm smoking them 'cause I have them. As, as one would say. Yes. As Salamander Slim would often say. As Salamander Slim would say, I am smoking them because I've got them.
Uh- And it makes the voices stop. Inside. So I'm rolling four? Get Jackson out of here. Four, right? Yeah. Bonk it. Okay. I'm Jackson, I bonk. And I, oh, um- I am Doris, listen ... survival is four, intelligence is five. Smoking. So I have to roll below nines. Now you're on. Or nines or under. Three nines. Come on. [01:20:00] Two, nine, and a 10.
But that's two, still four successes, right? Yep. Ha! Oh. Woo-hoo-hoo. Let's go. Um. Yee-hee. Wait, what was the difficulty? Three. Three. So we get one. One action point. Ooh. Yeah, um. Wait, tag s- tag skills are double successes when you succeed once, but- We can't go back in time, David. Sorry. Asking a rule for- But yes.
Yes. Yeah, tag skills are two successes. So I could have prepared that Salamander Slim. Argh. You got in your own head. Argh. Um. It's not power gaming if I'm terrible at the game. It's just being okay at the game. Now suck. Like getting extra stars in Mario Party. Um- Yeah, so with that, you're like, "Eve, Eve, um, you remember back in your time as Salamander Slim."
Okay. Uh, there was a young [01:21:00] girl that was- Special drop for us. You don't know it. Sorry, what? Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. Uh, in your, in your time- In my time at the park. As a mascot. No. An unrelated- You don't know it. No, sorry. In your time at the parks- Uh-huh ... for no reason. For no reason. For no reason. Um, so you really liked Salamander Slim.
Not of
any importance to you. It's really hard to dance around this. I know. It's okay. Um, at this point. It's been two episodes. It's been two- Might as well know ... we're halfway through the show. I used to be Salamander Slim. Um, this was, uh, Donnie Millennium's daughter. Okay. Evelyn. Uh- Okay. Good to know. Uh- And I would have known I, Donnie- Yeah
Millennium? She would, like, come bug you a lot. Perfect. Uh, 'cause she liked Salamander Slim. Yeah. Her dad designed him, so. Oh, love that. Um, but yeah, you stopped seeing her after [01:22:00] a bit. You heard that her and her mom moved to California- Okay ... after some sort of falling out with Donnie. Okay. Which means I might, um, I, I'd have trouble recognizing her 'cause she would be a grown woman and a ghoul at this point, but Maybe she'll recognize me.
That's, that's good to know.
Um, okay. Dang, I like, I was not expecting you to get that lore drop, but you did. Lore drop. Uh, Eve, uh, Donnie Millennium's kid. Huh? Okay, that's fine. Uh, okay. Well- It's been a while ... they headed to- how long ago did they head to the park? Donnie Millennium? Uh,
I mean, she's been going in and out. She found some tunnels. She's got some sort of, like, some sort of information on her Pip-Boy, maps of the park, diagrams of things, stuff that [01:23:00] I assume other people don't have. She's been mostly poking around those tunnels that she thinks no one else is gonna find. Do you know where the entrance to those tunnels is, when she's heading back here?
Uh, I think that, uh, Oxys and the other person who you've- Who I've not interacted with ... have not talked to at all. They're wearing a robe. That's- Yeah, she will, like- She'll take out, like, a little, like, scrap of paper, and she'll draw you, like, a shoddy map of, like- Perfect. Eve's got- Eve's got an office down in the tunnels.
Used to belong to Ollie. Oh. She's been doing... Oliver Millennium. Okay. Sorry. Um, she's been doing a lot of work down there. I'm not entirely certain what she's up to, but- Good ... she says she's just researching the park We'll check in on her. I mean, um, if she's, if she's the one who's been sending us- It seems like she's asking for you.
Yeah, if she's the one who's been sending these messages, then that's who we're, we're here to see. [01:24:00] Right. Thank you. Well, be careful. The tunnels are, uh, not the most secure on this side of Arcadia. Good to know. All right. Do you have any other questions for these fine NPCs? I tip my hat- I just- ... nicely to the, um- Do you know- No.
how they've been sending these messages? Who are these, like, uh, they've just been appearing? You've made a lot of friends since she got here. She's a pretty charismatic lady. Probably someone around slipped them to you for her. Hmm. Probably got eight or nine points in that charisma. Sorry.
Dang, girl, you look like you have eight to nine points in charisma. I'm using it.
I just feel like there's more efficient ways to kinda get these to us, but, you know, just do the most obvious- Well- ... intimidating thing you could possibly do.[01:25:00]
Nothing wrong with that She's an eccentric lady. She- Can't wait to meet her. Despite crocodiles' impressive grip strength- Bite strength, their jaws can easily be clamped shut. Wow, thank you. All right. Again, do... Oh, no, they're not wearing a hat, never mind. Yeah, there's- Is the one, is the person in a robe wearing a hat?
The person's wearing a hat. I, I, I guess I point, I go, "Who's your other friend?" Oh, uh, I- sorry, this is my friend Hope. They've been traveling with us for a bit. Since when? Uh, I think, uh, Hope will kinda like pipe up. Oh, Oxys was nice enough to allow me to travel with him and Eve. Uh, I'm, I'm Hope. I guess you knew that already.
Um, it's nice to meet you. I am, uh, a member of the Followers of the Apocalypse. Uh, I'm on a mission to investigate other regions of the [01:26:00] wasteland. Uh, I'm quite interested in this park for myself. It sounds like maybe there's something of use there. Okay. He's very interesting to me too. The ones that tell us that they work for free.
Oh. Oh, well, I, uh- No, I'm not very interesting. I'm pretty normal. Well, I guess. Mm-hmm. Oxys says he hasn't met a lot of people, you know, like him. Is people a good word for you? Yeah. I, I would say people's a good word. Good. Yes. Well, Oxys hasn't met a lot of people like you. I don't, I don't really like, you know, the implication that it wouldn't be a good word since then we wouldn't be people.
Oh, I'm sorry. Yeah. Uh, did... And I, I look at Oxys and I go, "Do you not grow up in like a big nest or?" No, like I said, I hatched amongst the ghouls from Vault 12. Oh. They raised me, you know. We sort of had a camaraderie in that sense. Uh, I've known Eve since I was young, so I just didn't feel comfortable letting her travel the entirety of the United States by herself.
Okay. You know, I don't know [01:27:00] that she's... I don't know exactly what she's up to or if it's a great plan, but she's been there for me. Why did you decide to stay here while she's tunnel creeping? She likes her space sometimes. Okay. And I try to, you know, respect that. The tunnels are also, you know... Oh, you're gonna have to duck.
Well, yeah. Yeah, it's... I'm pretty small. I can fit in places, so I'll be all right. And, uh, Hope, what are you, um, hoping to find, uh, Elise? That's funny. Oh, thanks. Well, uh- I lift my hat and then don't remember what that means, so just... No. No? Uh, don't, don't worry about the robot. Uh- Okay. Just- Um, right. Anyway, uh, these things that Eve has, I haven't seen all of them, but they're bits and pieces of information about the Infinitown [01:28:00] project, which is novel.
It's something we haven't been able to really study or understand. It might help people. Yeah. I don't know that, but I think it's worth looking into while I'm on this mission to Florida. I don't really know what else I would be looking into, if I'm being honest. No. Okay. Are there a lot more followers of the apocalypse around here?
Not around here, no. I'm kind of the only one out here. Oh, wow. That's gotta be- Yeah. You, you're out a pretty long way. Yeah. Uh, we've been doing missionary work lately. Oh. I'm one of those. Where, where, where'd you guys, like, meet? Like, cross paths, I guess. Well, like- Nevada? Around those parts? Yeah, those parts.
Okay. Okay. Um, well, it was, it was nice meeting you, uh, sir. And I, like, I bow very awkwardly and, like- Oh, uh, you- ... back out slowly. Okay. And, like, I bump my head on the, the doorframe on the way out- But- ... and I go, "Ah, sorry." Yeah, you are, you are gonna have to [01:29:00] duck. My bad. I, I, I very sheepishly walk downstairs. All right.
Travis follows. Cool. All right, this feels, this feels good. So the Molotovs call those people the med bags. Why do they call them the med bags? 'Cause they're walking bags of medicine. Oh. Yeah. How helpful. But we don't need a- Are we still... Are you still in the room? What? We're walking down the stairs. Are you still in the room?
No, no, no, no, we're walking away. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I, I, I look at you guys and I go, I go, "Well, she's an idiot." And I walk down the stairs. Dang. All right, I think that is a good spot to take our break and wrap up this conversation. What if I disagree? Well, I guess then maybe you should- This table's a democracy.
Who else disagrees? Overruled. Raise your hand. Well- Raise your hand. Uh, I think we're gonna take a break. Uh, we'll be right back. Don't go anywhere. I want a recount. Don't worry, don't worry
You know little toe [01:30:00] cat[01:31:00] [01:32:00] [01:33:00] [01:34:00] [01:35:00] [01:36:00] [01:37:00] [01:38:00] [01:39:00] [01:40:00]
And welcome back to Fallout. Uh, we are still kicking around General Dreis' fun crock experience here just outside of beautiful Arcadia, Florida. We just had a discussion with, uh, some other wasteland wanderers, a, uh, intelligent deathclaw. What a strange, interesting, unique thing. Uh- ... named Occus, and his sort of compatriot, a missionary from the Followers of the Apocalypse, Hope, who told us that our weird postcards probably came from their friend, Eve Awesome.
Uh- As we're leaving, I, I say to you guys again, "Yeah, no, she's stupid." Who's stupid? The, the follower lady. Why? 'Cause she's a follower. You know the follower of the apocalypse? Yeah. They're obsessed with giving everybody a bunch of information about things, and they're the reason, they're the reason some dork started cosplaying as Julius Caesar and crucifying people back out west.
Well- Really get- ... cults, cults be culting. I, I mean. What the [01:41:00] heck is cosplaying? Uh, dressing up as something you're not. Jerick has some hot takes about the political climate of Nevada. So, like, you, you and a bunch of- What the hell is a Nevada? So you and a bunch of friends put on football gear, and then start calling everybody, uh, a p- a, a pros- profligate, and then you, you put them up on a big...
So you take two planks of wood, and you- You dress up in costumes. Yeah. Okay. And you pretend to be something you're not, and it can be dangerous upon a large scale if it's in a cult. Yeah. Okay. So yeah, until we imagine- Is there anything else you wanna do at General Dray's before you try to find this- I, how long has it been?
Do we need to, like, rest or anything? You could stand to rest, I suppose, if you'd like to. Um, all right. Am, are we, are we hungy? Yeah, you're hungy. All right. You're not starving, but you're hungy. Well, we should eat something- You should eat ... and then take a break. You should eat some food. I've still got that mirelurk meat and iguana bits and dirty water.
Iguana. And food paste. And... Oh, I have food paste. A lot of food. [01:42:00] Fresh from the reader. Is there just a whole pressed up there? Um. No, this is a mark, or this is like a- A calligraphy ... this is a brush. Uh, he's gonna charge- I stole your coin flip ... he's gonna charge us to- Okay ... stay in the room, but we can take a break to, um, eat.
Yeah, you have a little snack. Yeah. I'm gonna eat. Or I'm gonna drink my dirty water, which won't affect me 'cause I'm a ghoul. Yeah. Right? Okay. Uh, still no. No? 'Cause it's ra- it's radiation. Yeah, I was gonna say you could still roll to see if you- Oh, do I, he does heal me? But it's, that was my- Oh ... two seconds of thought process.
Sorry. I'm so sorry. No, I will share with the class. Um, ghouls gain an HP if they take three radiation damage, but on one die, you can't take three radiation damage. Oh, okay. So that was my- New ... uh, like, thought and then sub-thought. I've, I have some damage to me, so I'm gonna actually ask General Drayus if he's got any irradiated food or anything that could help.
That I could eat. Take off his hands for him. Uh- He's standing with a crocodile. We might. Hold on. Let me get back to this food scavenging page. [01:43:00] I'm gonna maybe buy it. I don't have a lot of caps, but I, 'cause I got this cool hat.
I should probably bookmark this page. Did I bookmark this page? No, I wasn't that smart
You know what? You get, uh, more iguanabits. More iguanabits. The irradiated kind, just for you. Irradiated kind. I found the food page as I said that. Yay. Yeah, so, uh, the mistake I made is, is, um, the- Will that possibly heal me? Uh, if you eat it and chug the dirty water at the same time, you will immediately heal.
Per- I'm gonna... Uh, I think they heal you anyway, but- Perfect. ... you can try to get some extra radiation healing off that. Uh, let me go to the other page- I have three damage, oh ... that explains the amount of radiation and healing that iguanabits give. Can I just... Can you not get, like, medication? Like, can a medicine [01:44:00] check not work on you or- I, I don't know how.
We've never tried to heal each other. Yeah. Um, so dirty water- I can heal you. I, um
Dirty water does two healing, and then iguana bits do three. Is that all your HP back? Honestly, we might not wanna do this, 'cause I'm realizing that two of those hit points were from our well rested. Oh, okay. So I've only been at, I can only gain one back. Oh. Yeah, so- I'm gonna just drink my dirty water and then- Yeah, you are probably thirsty at least.
Okay. I'm gonna try to heal myself back to full. Everyone should probably... You had a beer, so you're good. I was gonna say, yeah, the, the... I didn't realize that the beer doesn't heal you at all. It has no benefit besides being alcoholic, which has no benefit. Uh, it makes you not thirsty, I think. Yeah, yeah.
That's the only thing it really- Yeah, so that's cool. Well, I'm not thirsty anymore. I'm not thirsty. I'm going to try a first aid check on myself. Sure. I think the difficulty goes up by one if you do it on yourself. Yes, so... And it's one damage, so it's already... So it's a two difficulty, and I have four. Yeah, you don't have any injuries, so- [01:45:00] Yeah, bleh.
You have Travis do the first aid check on you. Oh, how, how's your medicine? Don't worry about it. How are we gonna ask him? I didn't ask. We can't ask anything. We have to try this stuff. Okay, well, that's a pass and a fail, so... Oh. No, they have to- Is first aid a tag skill? First aid is not a tag skill. Okay.
It's just a regular skill. I think the difficulty is just one, isn't it? No, it's... Well, no, it's, uh, it's... I think a difficulty one- Oh, wait. Yeah, 'cause you're doing it yourself. Bleh. And then so, it's... Yeah. Okay, yeah. You fail to dress your wound. You just, like, you're really struggling to, like, get the bandage off the roll with your claws.
Oh. You death climb it. I do actually have some points in medicine. He's gonna shred it up. Do you wanna try? Do you think you can signal it to them, that, that, that you need help? 'Cause he can't hear you. Are you guys taking, like, a full proper rest? I don't know that it's, like, nighttime yet. No. No, I don't think so.
I'm just, I'm just getting a medicine kit. Okay, okay, okay. I, I, I just write it on a note card. There you go. Show it in front of his [01:46:00] Subaru tailgate eyes. Oh, Subaru. I looked them up after that. I love- There's one for sale nearby that's like- Oh my God ... marked as salvage. Completely unusable. Yes. All right.
Thank you, Lord. Do you think we could expense that as, like, a, a stream advertising clause? Yes. I'm sure I can get you patched up right good here.
Perhaps. Man. That is one success. Okay, that's what you need. That's, that's all I needed. A number of HP equal to your rank in the medicine skill. Do you have any medicine skill? Um, oh, I have, uh, three. Okay, yeah, so you can heal back that one. Okay, so I'm back to 15. Give you like a slap on the back with my- Ow
pincer arm There, there you go. All patched up. Should have no more troubles. Oh, thank you
Now [01:47:00] No. Gotta go check that out. Okay. Do you want the hat? No, I did both the, I did both this and this- Oh ... with my goggles and I got the same thing, so. Oh, that's not good. But here, hold on. Give me your hat. Here. It's fetching. No. No. Okay, you're bringing it back. All right. You got this. Is there anything else that you can- I, I go, I flick it up.
Yes. You try. Yes. Let's see. Did I do it? Dip it. No, dip it. Now. There you go
Did we get it? I think so. All right. Did you have a snack? Do you need a snack? I, I'm, I'm content. Okay. But 'cause we just need to eat for mechanics purposes, correct? You do need to eat. I- You don't need to eat yet- I have no food I don't need to eat yet. But it will become- Okay ... it will become a problem at a point.
Um. Okay. That's fine So there's a mechanic for drinking alcohol. I get addicted to beer in [01:48:00] one drink. What? Yeah.
So- I'll, I'll never drink a beer. Yeah. You heard it here. You're gonna kick your body- The, the, the developers of- It's, it's very real ... the developers of this game are the Amish, I guess. I- You should never drink a beer. Beer is a gateway drug. To more beer. To more beer. To more beer.
Do you actually get addicted to it immediately? So- Is there a check? Many... Yeah, so there's a check. Okay. I'm just trying to, trying to clarify this. Many of the beverages listed in this section are alcoholic. All alcoholic drinks have the same effect. At the end of the scene, you may re-roll 1D20 on a strength or charisma check, but increase the difficulty of intelligence checks by one.
In addition, alcoholic, alcoholic drinks are addictive. After drinking the alcoholic beverage, roll a few Pip-Boy dice equal to the number of alcoholic drinks you consumed this session. If two or more eff- Okay, so I need two. If two or more effects are rolled, you are addicted. You have two mics on, just like-
I got the good life. So what's funny is I was going to drink my vodka [01:49:00] to- You shouldn't, dude. I- No. They can say. I kinda wanna do it just to see if I get addicted. Oh, it's so funny. Come on, you gotta. I gotta do it. Yeah. Let's follow. So there's this really fun Russian beverage. It's called Borscht. Okay? And all it is, is it is a b- a drink where you mix beer and vodka, and that's exactly what it tastes like.
So I'm going to do that. Okay. Um- Great. Yeah. So I'm going to roll to see if it will be equal two. So if I roll two or more effects- You wanna make a statement on behalf of Tabletop, uh, Gaming Center Connecticut? Don't drink a single beer. I got one. I got scared. Okay. Oh my God. I heal- Okay, great ... I heal from my vodka Okay, are we done?
So you're quenched, hungry, not addicted to beer vodka. Doing pretty okay. Yep. Anything else you wanna cover here, or are we moving on? We talked to the guy, we had that crock experience. Should I talk to the- Hmm? Should I go back and talk to him? You- I don't know, it felt really awkward. I, I [01:50:00] don't- I think you did great.
I think I did terrible. Why? I haven't talked to a deathclaw in years. And nobody died, nobody got of- I don't think anyone got offended. They seemed very nice. I don't even know what we'd get offended by. Do you want to talk to them more? I feel like I should, right? Well, I mean, why? 'Cause you're this g- you're not the same.
You're your own person. You're not even from the same area. They don't even know any other deathclaws. Well, we don't know how many deathclaws they know. They were an egg and raised by ghouls. Yeah, that's the other thing. They were an egg, which imply, or which to me, the place they grew up makes it sound like they grew up like where intelligent deathclaws come from.
And, and for us, the, like those guys are like, kind of, uh, like, uh, like really important, and I feel like I should a- Do you wanna know more? Oh, please. We could go up there and talk to them. Ask Pal more about the thing you know she's gonna know about. That sounds really fun, and not like a quick time event for me.
How about this? It sounds like we're gonna come back- You watch me like stand up all, like [01:51:00] my ba- I go like this, I go, "No." So in 2241- I don't- In Vault 13, what... We, we're gonna come back this way. Welcome back to What's That Deathclaw? Oh. With your host, David. G- there's Goris. Ivan. There's Goth, G- Gor, Gursith, Gursith.
Gurs? Are you just gonna say Gurs? The leader one. Gurs. Gurs. That's the name of a leader if I've ever heard one. It's Gurs. So we hear- His name is not Gurs. It's Gurs now. Gurs Brooks. Gurs Brooks. Gurs- Gurs Brooks. Oh my God. Oh my God. That's all I'm ever gonna know about intelligent deathclaws from now out-
is there's one named Gurs. Brooks. Yeah, there's Gurs. He's a venture capitalist dog. It's, it's like, it's like Grot, like it's like Grug or something, like it's like Gurg. Not Grug. He's not Grug. His name's Gurs, David.
Oh, man. Oh my goodness. Can I scroll down f- all right. It's Gruthar. Well- Gurther, okay. You absolute fool. Girthir. There's a list right here. It's [01:52:00] on the page. I know. I read it a lot. So then why did you mess up and make it Girth? This is what I meant. I don't- That's exactly what I meant ... mess up is different than...
Not what happened. It was Gold, David. Gold. They can rewrite the lore. So do I. I found it. That's, that's great. Do you wanna go talk to them and see if, if you can get a name of a location if, when we're done with this you can- No, no. It's just- ... backtrack out to California. No, no. I think you should convince them to come along with us.
They don't wanna come along with us. But then I want- They don't wanna talk ... two death claws. Ooh, hold on. Nope. Stop. Don't like that. Half? Yeah, in my party. Nobody owns Z, all right? Your party. Yeah. They're with us. You're the leader. Well, it's- And- ... i- if, if, if you're in a party, it's your party. This is... I'm equally your party.
Yes. So- Okay. Let's just... No, l- let's move on. All right. And no, they don't want... I don't wanna interact with any other death claws. We're fine. [01:53:00] Okay Uh, thank you for your hospitality, General. We're, uh- No. We'll be on our way. Yeah, I mean, uh- ... if you find that Mr. Handy I'm looking for, you, you let me know, all right?
We will do so. What, uh, how'd you lose him? Well, the thing was pissing me off. He was like, "What do you want me to do, General?" And I said, "Go find me 10,000 snake skins." Okay. And I haven't seen him since. I guess- Have you thought that- ... he's probably working on that ... I was gonna say, what if he comes back with 10,000 snake skins?
Probably make something cool out of that. That's a lot of jackets. Probably a fun gator experience you could get out of that. Yeah. You could make a new Salamander Slim. Oh, that's true. With snake skin. Considering you couldn't fix it for- Snake Skin Slim. Snake Skin Slim. Very legally distinct. Legally distinct.
I can make him a jacket, you know? You know what kids always said about Salamander Slim? It sucks his skin isn't real. [01:54:00] I wanna touch it. I wanna touch. But he does feel like- Bring me the mouse. If it doesn't feel like mouse skin, I don't want it. Mouse? There's no mouse here. During Millennial Park. During Millennial Park we only have a Dillo.
During the Dillo are carrot cakes. It's fine. During this kinda goodbye conversation, Travis is gonna try and, like, sneak and, like, empty the snake skins he has already, uh- acquired- The smelly, horrid bags of snake skins ... um, and just, like, empty out his bag, um- Which is like, like- And like, if General, if Dray has, like, an office or something Is there stealth in this game?
No, there isn't. Where? It's under agility. Sneak. Sneak. Yeah, there's just- Um, you just- Wiggling the sticks ... we, we're, like, talking to him and, and in the background you just hear like, as, like, all this goop comes out of his bag. Uh, I think that's my... I think I'm gonna say this is straight up a luck check. Ooh.
Ooh. Luck plus sneak. Okay, yeah. 'Cause I don't know what else this would qualify as. Um, [01:55:00] that is- I don't know if I'm allowed to, like, declare a luck check, but I'm doing it. I like it. Um, yeah, that is six for me. Like, plus something or just? One number six. Uh- Six ... I have three in sneak, and... Oh, oh, wait a minute.
Sorry, no, that's 10. Oh. Okay, that's really good. Oh, you're a lucky boy. Sorry. Yeah, I was looking at the amount of I've added to my luck- Okay ... not the base. Um, so yeah, so it's a 10. Okay. Yeah, yeah. Woo-hoo. Uh, and that is one success. Cool. Yeah, uh, as you're just like, General Dre's listing off things you could use 10,000
saint points for- ... you just... Yeah. Horrific sound. Indescribable. Yep, I just leave the pile there. The, like, SpongeBob foghorn is
playing in the background. Oh, while we're on the topic, what... How do luck points work? Uh, yeah, so you can use luck points for [01:56:00] the things that luck does. Hold on. Mm-hmm. Misha. We have a- Got a little handy guide. The, um... Are there, there should be more somewhere. Uh, there are four things you can use them for.
Okay. You get them back, uh, when I deign to give them to you essentially. This task. Uh, but you can use as many as you have luck. Oh, yeah. You can add a detail to a scene. You can swap, uh, a different attribute for luck during a skill test. Oh. You can interrupt turn order to just, like, bump yourself up in initiative.
Oh. Or you can re-roll a die. Yeah. But that's, uh, yeah. Three. And you have the number of luck points you have as your luck. Yes. And then at some point I will choose to grant them back to you- Okay ... as I see fit. We haven't spent any though. So add a detail to a scene is just like- Don't think you have. No ... it's just like a fate point.
Yeah, it's just a fate point. Oh, that's sick.
All right. Travis is done with [01:57:00] his purpose. He knows what he needs to do. All right. Um, yeah, with that you can use, uh, Hope's sort of crude map of where to find the tunnels in Arcadia, and then where to kinda go from there. It's not a, it's not a bad map, but it's a hand-drawn map of a place you don't know.
Right. You know? Um. Okay. All right, so we- You got anything you'd like to share with the class? No. Yeah, we, we hit the road. All right, hit the road. I say we hit the road. Um- But, uh, when we get the chance, we duck somewhere to repair the robit. Okay, I'll, I'll do that. Okay, yeah, back into the tall grass. Oh, my God.
Do I have to re-roll, or? Yes, please. Oh, my God. Give a multi one. You can do it. Come on. You did this. You couldn't fix Salamander Slim- 14 ... but you can do this. So that's a four and a 16, so that's, uh, one success. Well, technically two successes, 'cause tag skills count as two successes. They do. Really?
Interesting. Yeah. That, isn't that interesting? Isn't that- Isn't that interesting? You [01:58:00] learned that in the audience several times in the first session. Yeah, it's kind of- My character's- ... intelligence. Me?
Um, yeah, you take, like, the, the, the cotton back out of, uh- ... uh, Travis' like, auditory- Cotton out of his ears ... ports. Wait, that's what they did?
All right. It went really well, I think. Um- Wonderful. We, uh... And you, you did a good job. You, you delivered your s- your skins. I... It really means a lot hearing you say that. You did a great job. You did. I, I don't know if I've said this before, but I see you as something of, of a father figure for me. You've made me so proud.
Oh, I might have, I might have hit something in there. That's, you know, it's... Keep it. I can put it back. Keep it. Keep it, keep it. Um, so we're heading to, we're heading to Arcadia. [01:59:00] We got a place to go. We met another death... You saw the death claw. Uh- Have we learned anything? We're taking a vote, sorry. Oh, oh good.
Oh good. Great. Do you wanna, do you wanna give it a minute? I do wanna give it a minute. I'll give it a minute. Sorry. Yeah. Am I not taking... Am I a part of this vote? You, yeah, no, it's passed around the whole table. Cool.
What? Place your ballot. Place your ballot. It's democracy. Don't. Okay. I'm gonna hand that back to David, I think. There you go, David. That's a little special mystery mouse gift for later. For later. Great.
There's a dead hamster on the back of your head. It's just a regular hamster. You okay? We're heading- Ugh ... we're heading to meet with a ghoul named Eve. They think they've been giving us the postcards. Um, and we're, we got a map. Uh, does this mean anything to [02:00:00] you? You've, if, if perhaps you've ever been inside Millennium Park.
What? Ooh. Um- I, I know, they've been cagey about that in the past, which is why I'm attempting to word that in a way that would make... If per chance. I think there is something- deep in there somewhere where there, you've got schematics of this place. Mm-hmm. Uh, and you're like, "Oh, yeah, I know-" Well, that's concerning.
"Didn't know there was, like, an access tunnel there, but yeah, I guess, you know," you kind of know where you gotta go on the outskirts of Arcadia to get into this, like, little tunnel. You're patching it into your map. Yeah. Okay. Like, ugh, yeah. No, that's definitely under the park. Um- Yeah. These tunnels didn't exist in the mental map you have.
Right. Like, ugh, man, you know, if someone wanted to, like, dig out the bottom of that park and tunnel in, like, yeah, that definitely would be how you would do it. [02:01:00] Did you- That seems to be the goal of our perhaps friend who's been calling us here, is go into those tunnels, so we- Do you know somebody who's trying to dig out the bottom of the park?
I, I mean, that sounds pretty rad. You know, just take the whole thing down. Gross park. It's, like, lame. It's for babies. Yeah. Hey, so he mentioned... Were you gonna bring it up? No, no, no. The old man. The old guy mentioned that you got dropped off by somebody else, so you're not his. So who's Mr. Handy are you? Does the name Sam, last name- Slim?
do you need to see? I think you only called him Sam or Samuel. Mechanic Slim. Mechanic Slim. Mechanic Slim. Mechanic Slim. Does the name Sam- It's Sunday, Sunday. I don't know where the L came from. I don't even know- Slim, Salvager Slim, Salvager Sam. We're really just- It's Sunday. Come on ... this is rough for us.
Watch mechanics fight. I mean, Sam, Sam Berry. Uh, he, you know. Sam Berry what? R- Sam. No, that, that's his name. Oh, okay. Um, he, uh, like, revived me. [02:02:00] Oh? Like, a... Like, you know how sometimes, like, people die and then they come back? Well, not all the time. Well, that's not revival if he's just putting- Well, I guess-
turning you back on. Oh, okay. Well, except... It doesn't matter. But yeah, he, he made me- Did you die? ... who I am today. Okay. Which I like being. I like who I am. Can I tell if he's lying? Uh... I know we don't have a lot of... Like, that... I don't know. Can I- But it feels like lying ... was this weird when I went digging in the, in the, under the hood there?
Anything going on back there? I got, I got- Perception and speech, I guess ... yeah, let's try that. And then- What would I roll? Can I, can I have a dice, please? I- Ooh, I've never tried- To figure out if he's lying? ... never tried. To know if there was anything odd inside the robot. Oh, when you were poking around? I think there was a lot of odd things.
Yeah, but like, but, like, particularly odd. I think I'd- Have to roll less than a nine. [02:03:00] Just gets hands deep in this guy's- Perception ... noggin. Perception and repair? I did not. I have a luck point though. Could I- That's a, that's four successes. Okay, dang. Um, yeah, you know, it really didn't seem important at the time I guess, but when you took off the back plate, um, there's like a Millennium Park and then like a serial number.
Okay. Hey, so really quick. Mm. I thought it might have been junk, but I don't think it's junk somebody found. Were you made in the park? I mean, like- What even is the self, man? Um, like was this form, he's like gesturing with like his flamer arm and his pincer. Uh. This form, you know, was the metal [02:04:00] forged and purposed for the park?
Maybe, but is that who I am? Son- Who are you? Son, do you mind if I call you son? Go for it. The park means a lot to me too. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Let's not go that far. I... A- Monster trucks mean a lot to me. I used to be Salamander Slim. Nobody knew this until this moment. Nobody knew this until this moment.
Because that's how games work. I used to work for the park. I was in the costume 12 hours a day, smoking so many cigarettes. Smoking cigarettes. That's why you're like this. I'm not even really a ghoul, I[02:05:00]
just am- I'm
just a person who smoked way too many cigarettes. You just have mesothelioma. You smoked in a commercial. I used to talk like this, it was fine. But I smoked so many cigarettes. Um, the park means a lot to me too. Sorry. I like- It means a lot in negative ways, it means a lot in ways that are confusing to me.
Is that racist? What? I was a skinny salamander, what do you want from me? That I was a human being pretending to be a salamander? That you were a human being wearing- Cosplay. You know what cosplay is ... yeah, but that's other human being. I, I'm thinking about I am a lizard and you got in a big costume and paraded around like a lizard.
So you never met people who cosplay as other, as animals and other anthropomorphic things? I haven't yet. Tell me about it. Well- I... You just ripped off my old friend's arm while they blasted the other one's chest open. Are you really worried about this right now? Why in your mind do violence and social justice have to exist in separate worlds?
Uh, I'm just gonna have an [02:06:00] existential crisis in real life, in- Oh. Oh, man. All right. Um- That was heavy. As you're all like- Oh, yeah. And then I pull out my pipe and, and, and smoking hat. As you're all kind of... you're like, you know, kinda going through at this point, uh, you spot the, like, sewer grate you're looking for.
We should blow that up. God. I just, I just grab it and rip it up. Yeah. Is it a strength... Do I need to check for this? 'Cause it'd be funny. Now, yeah, you have to. Yeah. Strength and athletics, I'm assuming. Yeah, go for it. So it's four- Go, go, go. Sewer grate, sewer grate, sewer grate. Do I need to add- Uh, that's a one and a 20.
Ha.
Okay, uh- Mal, look at me. So you generate an action point from that. Yay. I think there's too many people. Um- Just women ... you drop it into the, like, sewer, and you just hear, like, the clatter echo through the tunnel. [02:07:00] I thought you were about to say, like, a, like, a scream and a squish. What? "I'm a tiny man who lives down here."
"I had a lot of lore to tell you, but I'm dead now." "I have a house made of acorns, and now it's crushed." "And my tiny wife." Hi, Jerry. "No, my tiny wife." "This is where I went to." "Now I, now I'm in hell." No, but yeah, it just sounds like- Oh ... you hear it just echo- ... and then echo. But you get it down, honestly. It's pretty easy.
Real sneaky. Oh, oh, like you would've done any better. No. No, I wouldn't have. Yeah, you wouldn't have. Now get in the pit. I... I'll go first. Cool. Yeah, you get in the pit. Yeah. Let's go. All right, you are in the vent. You're in the vent. So did you smoke the, the cigarettes in the costume, or were they a part of the costume?
It was a constant. So, and then- It was all a part of- It was all ... where did Salamander Slim begin and end? They made [02:08:00] extra large cigarettes. These are real, real tobacco. With real tobacco. They lost too many guys to dying of the head erupting into flame. Oh, don't worry, that was made of asbestos, so it couldn't- You're just, you're j-
that couldn't be a flame ... you're just constantly hot boxing
nicotine in the head. Oh. It was honestly easy to do those 12-hour days. I get to do 17-hour days. More like a hallucination than a day. I did 23-hour days. Huh? Never mind. How do you use ladders?
I float. Oh. You descend into these tunnels. Um, it's like
not really a sewer. It's just got a very... Um, it's a, it's a tunnel. It's an access tunnel. Um, it's pretty worse for the wear at this point. You know, I don't know how tunnels hold up to this amount of time, but it's got vines and grass and such to indicate that [02:09:00] many years have passed since these were very accessed.
This is clearly not, like, a main portion of the tunnels under Arcadia. Um, you are traversing along your way. Um, I think at some point, uh, the map sort of gets a little bit unclear. Like, there's just sort of a, a fork that you weren't entirely, like- warned of by Hope. Yeah You know, she, she perhaps forgot in her little sketch.
Um, yeah. All right
Yeah, the map isn't making any sense anymore. What do you think? I think this would not be the optimal place to set off an explosion to cause maximum structural damage to the park. Okay. I mean, I'll bank it in my, uh, I'll keep that in mind. [02:10:00] Uh- But how cool would it be- We got... ... to see the whole thing just up in flames?
You're getting dark, Drastu. I like it. Deckard. Yes. As this conversation is happening- Mm-hmm ... they're discussing the ins and outs of, um, exploding the tunnels- Yes ... I think, uh, at the fork, you see your friend. My, uh- Your, your good friend. My good friend? Your good friend. I see them. Yeah, you see them. Okay. As happens to you.
Yeah. Um. Oh. And sort of just mid-conversation, they'll just sort of like- Yeah ... nod towards one of the tunnels for you. I'll go, uh, "All right, guys. Uh, looks like, uh, Lady Luck's smiling on us. Let's... I'm just gonna go this way." All right. Yeah. That, that doesn't make any sense. I'll follow you. Yeah. And then, uh, you can check, like, feel the walls.
Feel the walls. Okay. And I'm gonna rub my hand against the walls. See that? And I'm... People walk this way. All right. Yeah. Um- Yeah. And we're gonna walk down, and [02:11:00] I'm going to, uh, take one of the cards, and I'm g- just gonna tuck it into, into somewhere on the, in the, in the tunnel. Yeah. Yeah. Do I see you do that?
Or do, or do you do it somewhere else? Yeah, you can do, you can do it. What, uh, what you doing over there, pal? I w- what if we get lost? Okay. Yeah. Now I'm suspicious. About what? You, like- We don't have a map anymore, yeah ... you, like, squint and went, "Yeah." Yeah. Yeah. Which doesn't reassure me. Yeah. Okay, I guess- Well, it's not a bad idea if we know we, this is the way we came and the way we can go back.
Anyone wanna sing a walking song? A walking song? The, uh... Pull out one of those- Hey, everybody ... pull out one of those circular, like those pipe harmonicas to help you find the note. You go, "Hey." You see, you see, friends, sometimes you just have, like, a very good sense of where things are, and, you know, it's something you learn out in the wasteland.
I can tell, you know, dealing with sandmen or slim for so long, your brain might go a little off the wires and, you know, not having the true- Yeah ... predatorial sense, you know? Whoa, okay. This one, I guess. [02:12:00] I don't know. Hold on. Uh- That felt judgmental. It needed some level of- Speaking of predatorial sense. You detect an enemy before I do, I get stabbed.
Yeah, as you're like... Uh, you... You know what? Yeah. It's hear- You hear, um- I get stabbed?! You get stabbed. No, you hear a, a sort of a, I guess a loud-ish breathing followed by, and a sound of like, a sound familiar to you, claws on concrete. I, I like, I'm... Am I behind the group? I assume you're in the back. I put my hand on their backs and I go, "Go.
Go, go, go. Go, go, go." And I, like, start mo- I, uh, I push. Ah. Oh. Now you know which way to go. Just move. Uh, all right. Yeah. So, um, let's do some initiative for this. This'll be fun. Oh boy. Oh. Hey, remember that thing you saw at General Trey's Fun Croc Experience? Would you like to have a fun croc experience? A gator claw?
They had to get them somewhere, you know? Uh, it seems- Locally sourced ... with your loud arguing [02:13:00] and/or singing, um- And/or the- The sewer grate? The sewer grate. Yeah, the thing in the other tunnel probably, like- ... figured out you went down the other tunnel. Like, you're on the right path, but there is now a- Oh, wow ... a fun croc experience to be had here.
I, I, like, I turn around. Uh, yeah, it's a big old, uh, it's that gator thing. Cro rat baskets. Um Oh. Yeah. No, these aren't fun. This is a gator claw, if you would like to view at home. It's like a death claw, but if, if it were- A gator ... a gator. Well, it's a gator. Why not? Um, 'cause David said to me, I believe, "If you don't put at least one- Don't blame me
gator claw in this, you're at least a little lame." Hey, you hear that? It's your fault. I think he'd say that. It wasn't my cocky, boastous, like- But it's all good ... antics. It's your fault. Mm. Maybe your hallucination brought us down a pathway. Uh, gator claw. How could it possibly be my fault? Deckard, Charlie.
Yes. Uh, you went first la- well, you're, I feel like you're down. [02:14:00] Oh. 10. One. 14. Oh, you go first. All right, I go first. All right. Um- It seems like you have random number generators right in front of you. Travis, you still go first. Um. Uh, this thing is pursuing you. Y- you could probably get to where you need to go before it catches up to you, maybe.
Maybe. So it's coming up behind us? Yeah, yeah. Okay. I can take it. Oh my God. Um, can I get into close range with it?
It's kinda like snake skin, right? Doesn't appear, it actually doesn't, doesn't appear to be covering its eyes. Go away. Yeah. It's in medium range. You could just, like, use your minor action to get within close range. Great, let's do it. Okay, you do that. Um. I have to actually- Going for the flamer. Take it from my hands.
They have no energy resistance, so that's good. I hope it [02:15:00] doesn't. Great, I didn't look any of that up. For the record, I'm just saying that 'cause I don't. Oh. Oh. Uh-oh. No, Matt, that might be a bad idea. I'm just reali- Sorry, I just, uh, actually looked at this. So really quick, okay? Mm-hmm. Things I know about death claws.
Uh-huh. They love radiation. Uh-huh. So maybe... My thought is maybe the flamer's not a great idea. It's not radiation. It's energy. It's energy, but I'm worried- It's not radiation ... I'm worried that that's worse based on that. Based on that. Audience, audience, based on this, based on this. No, that's actually- Everything going on over here
that's actually- Based on, "Oh." Based on the ooh. Sorry, I actually looked at this thing's damage resistances for the first time. For the first time. Tune in for the second and last episode of Five- I kinda thought this would be, like, a fun chase scene, you know? You want to sur- We can run. No, no, no, it's fine.
You can fight it and take it. Can we? Yeah. We've got a Molotov cocktail. We're good. Yeah. Okay. So out of- Yeah ... really quick, guys ... we can take it. In, out of character. Out of character. Okay, out of character. Um, Travis needs to at least give this a shot. Well, sure. [02:16:00] Yeah. Of course. Okay. Of course. Of course. Um, fair.
Fair. Shots are usually ranged. If, if he... Go on. If he gets one flamer burst on it, gonna put all the resources I can into one attack, and then he's good to move away. Maybe aim for its legs, like, so it can't- Here's, here's my thing. Here's my thing ... run. So when it comes to dealing, killing those raiders, they dropped food and ammunition.
Oh, sure. This thing will drop teeth and nothing else. Maybe a claw. There's no reason- Maybe a claw ... we sh- I could theoretically punch with nine on arm damage if we... But that's for a d- that's a different plate of cookies for a different glass of milk. All right? Now, listen, I understand we all have our differences.
Yeah. But I'm just saying- I'm just saying ... this thing is gonna hit like a truck. Yeah. And we're not gonna get anything out. Before we start the death claw stuff. I'm just, I'm just a- In this situation- Biggest target is all I'm saying ... I'm Terry Treville. That's not even the right character for that. No, it's not.
It's perfect. I was just saying it. Ben Loveless death claw. You know, [02:17:00] I was saying his famous catchphrase.
All right, uh, Travis, what are you doing? Um, yeah, I'm gonna use, use the flamer. Yeah. Um- Sure. Send it. It's gonna need those. I'm gonna need, I'm gonna need dice. Um... I thought that was a die. This thing has a special ability. It's big. Can I, can I, can I play toys? It- I can play toys? Easier to hit. Oh. Yeah. It's so easy.
Oh, that's fun. Can I... So I messed this up last time. Using my action points doesn't trigger this, so I want to give you an action point- Oh, thank you. Yes ... for this. I'll take that. Can I also spend our action points to get another die? Yeah, I don't see why not. Okay, great. Do I have to spend two for my second die or- Yes.
Okay, great. Yeah. I'm taking them. Yeah. Oh, gosh. Um, all right, so I got- What are you saying to me? Why am... I'm not being weird. Four dice. I'm just researching your funny guys. My funny guys. Your funny guys. Look, [02:18:00] I'm the one who makes this. Oh, oh, oh. The others. Oh my God, okay. The others. Yeah. Just- That's- Yeah
four successes. Four successes. Four successes. Yeah, that'll do it. Four successes. Um, oh, actually- That generates three action points ... um, I do get to re-roll um, I do get to re-roll one of these, so I might get an extra success. Um- Woo-hoo. Yeah, that's six successes. Uh, yeah, that would generate five action points.
Woo-hoo. Uh, it's easier to hit. Skara's making action points. You're doing great. 'Cause it's big. It's a free action point generator at this point. All right. Um, and then- Watch us convert health into action points ... all right, my attack is... So normally this would do- Free real estate ... three- Free real estate
three attack, um, three dice. I'm going to spend four ammo to get that up to seven. Um, plus, um, the damage you deal using fire-based weapons increases by one die because I have [02:19:00] pyromaniac. Love that. Um, so that's gonna be eight dice for this. What is this, what is this, this demon you've become, Skarl? Um, I'll just...
Like, you're just saying words at me, and I'm here for it, but yeah, sure, all right. Okay, that's- Two boys. Two boys. Two boys and a hit, plus...
Another boy, so that's- Seven and three boys. Yeah. Seven with three boys. Um, and I'm using my flavor 'cause it has things that activate on boys.
Oh. No one clip that. No one clip that. I love when I activate on boys. Oh, don't clip that. Oh, man. The vibe in here is so odd. So what is your effect on the flavor? Um, so my effect is, um, doo, doo, [02:20:00] doo. Uh, I want to get specifically the, um... It's going to have persistent- Fantastic ... um, but also spread. So, um, for each att- for each effect rolled, attack inflicts...
I don't know about this. Um- Yeah, I can help. No. Um- There's just one guy ... the burst. It has, it has spread and burst. Um, burst, I believe it's one additional hit. Oh, my God. It has spread and burst? No, no, no, no. Um, I- No ... it's one that hit, lets me hit additional... Yeah. So it's the burst lets me hit an additional, like, hit on it.
Someone have, like, the actual sheet with the- Yeah. I guess I could've been looking at that instead of- Well, it's garbage ... sort it. Uh, may hit one additional target. Um. Me. It seems like- It's me. It's me ... he's kind of just let you hit additional targets. No, so [02:21:00] sorry. Spread is what I want. For each effect rolled, attack inflicts one additional hit- Yes, on the target
on the target. Um, each additional hit inflicts half the rolled damage on the- On a random location. Okay. Um. So I guess we should figure out the primary location. So I had... Yes. All right, so I had seven damage total. Okay. Right? Was that? Mm-hmm. Yeah. I can't wait for this. Seven damage. The primary is on the right arm.
Sure. I had three effects. For each effect rolled, the target... Blah, no, yeah. Um, yeah, additional hit on the target. Each additional hit, half the damage. So it's then three times going to take four... No. Three. Three damage. I think rounded down, right? On different locations. Rounded down, yeah. Yeah. Okay. So, um, [02:22:00] yeah, you, like, light this thing up.
Uh, it kinda like... Oh, like, like, chills about it? Yeah, like, it's on fire. It doesn't seem really, like, bothered or injured about it. Um, for what it's worth, the other hits were two more on the right arm, and then one on the head.
Yeah. Uh, it kind of stops for a minute and, like, regards the fact that it's on fire now. Okay. Great. It's a on fire alligator.
Uh- Is that the end of her turn? Yeah, it's its turn. Good. Um- Yeah. Great. It is going to- Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool. Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool. It's just gonna go for Travis 'cause Travis is right there. That's fair. I see no disagreements. You wanna, do you wanna get in there, Belle? Anyone? He... I gotta- Gnomex tools release.
It's [02:23:00] a hamster tool in this case. It's armadillo tool. Armadillo tool.
Imagine... So, okay- I'll take a gnomex band. No, it sounds like a, like a, like a parody of a Far Side comic, cow tools. Cow tools. No way. That is a poll that I will gladly accept. Should we take an official stance on Cow Tools? Should we take an official stance on Cow Tools? Pro. Pro. Pro Cow Tools. Pro Cow Tools.
Um- I think Cow Tools is the best piece of art America has ever conceived. For, um, okay, not bad. Best piece of art. Well, you know he named the end of a stegosaurus, the stegosaurus' tail is called the thagomizer because of a Far Side comic. It's, yeah, it's his thagomizer.
It's- I don't know much about stegosaurs. Uh, cool. Um- Well, you know, now you know about thagomizers ... you take four physical damage. Okay. You are also stunned. Great. Great, great, great, great, great. Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool. Uh, which means you cannot- Cool, cool. What are you doing there
uh, take your normal action. You could spend AP on your next turn, but you are stunned. [02:24:00] Okay. As it just kinda smacks you. Anyone wanna pick me up? Well, it's okay. It's not really that great.
Um, shortly. Okay. Um, I'm gonna- Father, please. Of course, my son. Um, I will- Do it. Do it. Okay ... try and shoot it. We're gonna have a conversation. 'Cause it didn't do, it didn't seem to care about being on fire, and I've got Molotov cocktails and- Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay, guys. Yeah, that sounds good. Go ahead and just shoot it.
You want me to, okay. I feel like I'm not supposed to shoot it. Do it. Do it. Um, all right. No, I'm gonna go for it. It's like a lot of times in Fallout games when you're, like, kind of, like, towards the beginning or even say, like, the middle of the game, and you see a deathclaw. That's sort of like a environmental, like, huge heap.
At that point- I'm, I'm picking up some things. [02:25:00] And I think instead- Fallout 4 taught me that deathclaws are chumps that can easily be dispersed- Of sh- ... in the first 30 minutes of the game ... instead of shooting this- I'm kinda sipping on that John Fallout ... this alligator, I'm going to... You're very heavy. I can't- Am I?
I, I, I- He floats. But he's stunned. Is he still floating- Oh, yeah ... or no? Um, I feel like he could be kinda, like- He could be pushed? ... hit as, like, you know, one might- ... like a pinball or something. Could I, could I grab him and just kinda run? You could kinda, like, shove him. Okay. Um-
Uh, oh, I've got a tire iron to, like, pull him along with me- Sure, yeah ... with a tire iron. Um Yeah, so I would say make a strength plus
Ah. A- athletics? Strength was athletics? Yeah. Okay. Um, so I have to beat a six, [02:26:00] 'cause I don't have athletics. And I do, five and a one, so that's two successes. That's three successes. Three successes. That's perfect. Cool. Um, cool. Now, you can use your minor action to, like, wa- walk. If you'd like to run, you could spend an AP to take a second action.
Okay. You could even spend two AP to take a minor action and a major action and just, like, straight up book it. Just- Can I, can I knock him forward with so he comes with us? So like- Yeah, run away. Okay. Sure. Yeah, I will book it. You just kinda like- So how much AP am I spending to book it? Yeah, you get- Three?
You go from being in medium range of this thing to being extreme range. Okay. I've, uh, I've done that. Cool. Did I use three AP or did I generate any AP with the crit? Um, yeah, your crit would've generated two, so you could just immediately spend those two to do what you just did. So it's- I'm gonna do that
works out in the wash. Okay. Washed. Uh, you're very fast and good at, uh, wrangling- I think we should go ... Mr. Candies with crowbar. I think we should go, I think we should go, I think we should go. I think we should hurry. Okay. Do [02:27:00] I... It, it... I mean, how fast is this thing? Um, that's not really a thing in this game.
Alligator fast? It's as fast as you are, 'cause that's just how this game works. So it can keep up with us- If- ... if we run, run ... if you just, like, did a normal amount of running, yes. If you, like, real- if you really put your, like, all into it, it- I, um- ... you could outrun it ... I think as you, like, grab and, and go, um, I, I look at you and I go, "Go.
We go, we go. We should go." Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. All right. Uh, Decker, it's your turn. Um, I am going to, uh, I'm gonna, I'm gonna run, but I'm going to just... I know it's probably not gonna do anything, but Decker's stupid. Um, I'm just gonna throw a Molotov cocktail at it as I'm running away.
Like, I'm just, just gonna light up this- So you only have to spend your action, instead of sprinting, throwing a Molotov cocktail. Or you could spend an action point to do both, if you're feeling crazy. I'll spend- Let's go ... oh, one action point for a whole nother action? That's insane. Yeah, I'll do that. Yay.
Well, they're called ac- So you're not [02:28:00] gonna believe this. Oh, yeah? Yeah. Yeah, okay. Yeah. Um, yeah, I will Molotov- Mm-hmm ... run. Uh, okay. Go ahead and r- roll for your Molotov. Whee. On the thing that just got Sam thrown to- I'm not smart. Okay. Yeah, no, that's a good character decision. Um, look, we've got the smart half of the party-
and the other half of the party. And the cocky half of the party. Smart half of the party. And the light things on fire half. Yeah. Hey, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ryan, the player, the smart one. We've got the lizards- David, the player. The real big fish. Bowling for soup. The bowling of soup. Bowling for fish. The bowling of soup.
Bowling for fish. Of real big fish. The Dave Matthews Band of that one s- bridge in Sicily. Yeah, I got a success. I got a, I got a seven. And I'm- The gold bridge ... explosives, I imagine? Uh, explosives plus what was it for perception? Perception? Yes. Uh, my perception is six. So yeah, my, my total's nine. Cool. Yeah.
Um, all right. You, uh, [02:29:00] hit it at least. Yeah. You can roll the damage for it. Ooh. Can I ask you something? Yeah. That could be a creeper. For, for, for the character here with nine charisma, you sure have been suggesting murdering things a lot. Nine charisma? Yeah. Hey. Well, maybe- It's almost like maybe you got-
he's, like, very charismatic about suggesting murder. Yeah. It's almost like- Hey, guys You look like a guy who got- How's it going? Uh, do you have the Molotov sets- ... eight or nine
charisma ... before I spend these? Uh, I do. Third one down. Thank you, my friend. You're welcome. Ooh. Uh, that's a lot of damage. Hey, and you look like you got eight or nine points in charisma. I got one- Eight or nine sexiness. I got one boy and I got four shots. Okay. What is the boy for cur- for Molotov?
Persistence. Persistence. Okay, yeah, he's more on fire, it just is... He really doesn't seem bothered. Flaming death claw. He really doesn't seem that bothered by it. Weird. He's kinda chill. He's kinda so chill about it. So when you use an AP, you can do another- You can do another action and another minor action.
You can only do that once per turn, though. Okay. But you can essentially go up to double of both. Okay. [02:30:00] So I'm gonna do two things and then burn a, an AP to do it. Okay. So you book it, you throw this. Uh, it, it's just more on fire now. Yeah. And it's like, all right. I will check to make sure this is a valid thing I can do.
Um, you're slightly behind these two, but not enough that it's, like, an issue. You're less extreme than they're extreme. We're just p- strategically fleeting. Altering course. Love it. Okay. Hold on, I'm gonna double-check to make sure this is a valid thing I can do with this.
Okay. Um-
Understanding, learning I'm doubting. I'm doubting Knowledge Uh, okay
If it says I may not move or sprint on the same turn as this, does that mean the AP doesn't matter or the action point doesn't matter? I think that sure sounds like you can't move or sprint on the same turn as this. Okay. So then instead- ... what I'm gonna do is, um- [02:31:00] You're gonna, like, pain train the thing? I was gonna pain train it and then book it.
Just like, "Eh." Oh, no. I can fully knock it down. I think. But it's bi- it's big. Oh. Oh, it's big. It's got the ability big. Oh, let me see. Yeah, it's big. Wasn't there whole... It's big. Uh, especially large sturdy creatures. Oh, yeah. Okay, there it is. It's big. It literally s- I'm... Nevermind, I'm stupid. Uh, at the D- at the GM's discretion, especially larger, sturdy creatures cannot be knocked prone by this action.
Oh, the thing with the ability literally called big. So I... Uh, here's what I'm gonna do. I am going to book it, and I'm gonna try to book it really fast using my very high athletics, and I'm going to try to sneak under Decker kind of like a horse and, and get Decker on my back. Oh, okay. Okay. Yeah, yeah. Love it.
And you know, the sneaky horse- ... that just picks you up by surprise. It happens sometimes. I love it. You're walking down the street. That was my original plan was to grab on, but you weren't running yet, so. All right. That's, uh, two successes. Uh, to just [02:32:00] run? That I, I rolled athletics. Two. Just my thought was- To horse.
To horse. Yeah. To horse. My, my thought was that was the, the thing to roll. Yeah, I think horse is a difficulty of one. D- uh, yeah. Yeah. So you generate an action point from- All right ... horsing out. You know the, the action. To horse. Yeah. To horse. Mm-hmm. Or not to horse. To horse. That is the question. Great. Um, you at this point are just running down this tunnel.
Mm-hmm. Um, eventually, um, you would see the, the door you are looking for. Ooh. I'm gonna just, I'm gonna just burst through it like battering ram. Well, battering ram sounds bad. You just break the door down? Yeah, like with my head. Well, we want a door that we can close behind us. No. No, no, no. I mean, I know you...
I can't talk to you. Are you sure about that? Oh, like, like Z has gone in full panic mode. I mean, do you wa- I... Out of character. No, well, uh- Out of character. Out of character, I think that this is probably a vault... not vault door, but it's probably a heavy duty door, and we may want something we can close be- Yeah, it's a nice big metal door that perhaps- Behind us so that the gator claw [02:33:00] doesn't come in behind us.
Okay. I think we're also in a dark tunnel. So you bonk into it then. I was gonna say, that, that is- I think we're also in a dark tunnel, and we're scared. That's, that's very possible. Oh, shit. Oh, shit. What would I roll? Unarmed, athletics. I'm, I'm definitely scared, 'cause you're scared. Strength and unarmed. And you're also on his back.
Yeah. Strength and unarmed? Yeah. Difficulty two to break a door. So that is- Oh, boy. Uh, this is an unarmed attack, so then that's four successes. Yeah, uh, you destroy this door. Oh, my God. Uh- I, I like, I like, I... And there's sentry turrets behind it. I come through- And I like steel ... and I like fall over, and I go, "I found the door."
Uh- Make a save. Yeah. Yeah. I, I hate to punish myself, but- No, yeah. Um- You're horsed right now. I am horsed. You're horsed. If a horse just ran into a wall. Agility n- and athletics. [02:34:00] Oh, my- Come on, charisma ... two favorite stats. Come on, charisma. Uh, where's that sheet about how luck works again? Uh, you can spend a luck to replace luck as a stat, or you can re-roll a D20.
You got options. Okay. Do I have to declare it before or after I roll? I think it's a before, right? If you wanna re-roll. Or no, it's after, 'cause you wouldn't know if you failed. Re-roll- Yeah, but that's the thing ... yeah, um, that's misfortune. Re-roll a 1D20, um, per luck point spent. Oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah. I will probably be doing that.
Oh, that's a, a two, and my agi is five, and my athletics is one. Okay. Uh, uh, you manage to sort of, like, psst. Duck and roll. Yeah, maybe duck. Yeah, duck and roll. Yeah, not get slammed into- Um, I think- ... a wall smith ... you know, you still drop off of your large horse. Yes. Horse. Dog. Horse. It's- Man ... who's to say? Uh- Who's to say?
Oh, great. You take [02:35:00] one damage from that. Zerrik, dog, horse, man. One damage. One physical damage. Just let me make you a hat. Uh, yeah. So you burst into this room. Um- The person in this room, uh, screams. Of course. "Ah! Jesus." Uh, w- Get her clock! Get her clock! Get her clock. "Oh, okay. Um, come on." She's gonna, like, throw open another door.
Air locks. Emergency second door. Emergency second door. Come on now. In case the first one gets horsed. The pot door. Yes. The pot door. Come now, follow Pot. Or as we refer to it, the horsin' door. The horsin' door. Uh, you know, nice office here. A lot of, uh, old-school works of Ollie Millennium, Armadall- You're not looking at it.
You're running out the door. Y- right. Um- This is really nice. Secret office. Yeah, like, secret office. That was where you were going. Yeah. Um, you are running, uh, [02:36:00] this person you have barely seen in the dark is just kinda, like, leading you down more of these tunnels. Um, you're going off book here, Travis Two.
This is not tunnels that you were aware of. Um, eventually she'll kind of just, like, run out of tunnels and energy. "Okay. You broke my door." "I think I have a concussion." "You do?" "Yeah." Apologies, ma'am. He's not house trained. "You're n- "I'm not a dog." "You're, you're not Oxys." "No. My name's Eric. Hi." "Hi." "I'm from Utah."
"I'm sorry to hear that." "Oh, it's okay. It's a tragedy I've grown to bear." Eve, I presume. "Yeah." "Ah, this is, this is Slim Jim." S- Salamander Slim. "Charlie, yeah. I know who you are." Charlie. Travis. Travis Two. Hey, we [02:37:00] brought your robot back. That's cool. And, and, like, you watch as, like, Eric, like, walks over to a wall, puts his hand on it and goes, "Ah!"
Decker? I, I- I'm, I'm, I'm not paying postage on these. I just dump my cards. I'm not paying postage. Oh, no, that's o- Yes. And you're... I was expecting a Brotherhood of Steel paladin. Why do you need a paladin from the Brotherhood of Steel? Those guys suck. Well, I suppose we can talk. Let's, um, let's continue along, I guess.
Oh, and anyone have a water? I drank it. An ice pack? I got pasta bits. Can... I guess I should be going a little more gluey with this voice, but- It's okay ... I had a dry cough afterwards. Oh. Whoa. Oh, no. Uh, it's all right. It's all right. I, um, I guess it's good that you made it here, data gloves notwithstanding. Hi.
Have we met before? [02:38:00] I tried. I might've messed up your robot, sorry. I'm not certain. It would've been a very long time ago. I've been around a very long time. These two of us- Well, the nature of the self is complicated. I don't have to get into it. Did you engage, like, like some weird version of transcendence on this one when you picked their brain?
No. No? No, I, I, I, I pulled- The wiring on these things gets faulty. Yeah, I, like, pulled a thing, and then I, I waited. And then, and then they stopped talking, so I put it back, and then I pulled again, and they said, "I can't see." And so I put it back. And then I pulled a different thing, and eventually we landed on hearing.
So then I just went back in and put it back, so. Okay. Well, I appreciate you coming out. I wasn't sure that you would. Um, yes, I- When you get a bunch of postcards- I sent you the- ... from a random [02:39:00] stranger, yes. I had the postcards delivered to you, and also Paladin Jerry. I'm so sad he couldn't make it. He, uh- I was really- He died valiantly.
Uh. You know, we could've really used a, a strong set of muscle here, but I suppose C- C- He exploded into a bunch of pieces ... C- sees- a bunch of pieces That's pretty great. There was no Paladin Jerry. It was me piloting a suit. You were in the suit? No. It seems very- No, I was the dog. No. I was- In the suit? Sure, yes, that's- I was leashed to the suit.
I'm so thankful. Okay. Well, we're, we're glad to have you, Tirich. Z's proven quite useful in, uh, in this group. Yeah. I'm sure that he will be... Uh, what do you need us for? Oh, yes. Well, um, I have interest in seeing the park, understanding a bit more of it. This is about as close as I can get on my own, though. I think there are a [02:40:00] lot of people in there that would- Have a level of interest in what I have that I am not prepared to deal with on my own.
So I had to look around for help, and you know, some people that know the park. Paladin Jerry. Some people who perhaps know the lay of Arcadia and its people. Seems like a good enough crew. So you harass us instead of offering us money? Well, I can offer you money too. You didn't mention why you picked me, though.
Why did you- You have a lay of the park
I, w- I mean, like, sure, I guess. Like, in my data banks- Well, um- ... that's technically my memory ... and she'll kind of, like, walk over and, like, poke at, like, poke at you. Yes, only Millennium Park models have this here, and this is your- So yeah, technically I know the [02:41:00] park. And you're so much more than just the park, all right, Travis Tickle?
Yeah. Like, I do cool stuff, too. Have I mentioned monster trucks? Loves them. But yes, I have some interest in understanding the park, m- more namely the, the town beneath it. Um, I think if I were to just waltz in myself, it wouldn't go very well. So perhaps I could send some scouts ahead of me who might be able to talk their way into the park.
Um- Hopefully ... the Infinites are not fans of mine, but, uh- Well, they don't know that you're you, do they? You're not exactly in the zoo- That's true ... smoking a cigarette. That's true. That's very true. I've got just one question for you. Sure. [02:42:00] How many snakeskins do you have? None currently. Do you need them? Very much so.
I could secure you some if that's your preferred form of payment, I suppose. I think we can do business. Great. Eve, uh, quick question for you. Sure. How long have you known me? You? Yes. Well, I've only been here a bit. I've had, you know, eyes and ears around the area. I've heard things. You've heard, oh. I, I understand that you've been dropping off these...
Well, not you personally, right, have been dropping off these- No, my friends ... yeah. Any certain particular courier you send after me?
I, I, I guess question two is- Hurrying, you say? It's a ring from the star. Vroom, vroom. And, like, the Fallout conveyer speeds away. Um, I guess a [02:43:00] very more direct question was, is, uh, how long have you been sitting in this room? Like, were you just out there? Was I just out- Like, out there. And I point to the giant...
Well, I guess not. We're in the second room, but yeah, yeah. No. No? I've been wor- Well, I was working. Now I have to see what of that remains, but that's all right, Zira, really. So you're digging a tunnel. No, I'm not digging a tunnel. I'm setting up a base close to the park that I don't think the Infinites are aware of yet, so that I can continue my research, as I've been doing for, I don't know, months now.
Research into what? The town. I- And the park, but mostly the town. I mean, how hidden was the town from you? Wasn't this guy your dad? Oh. I did, I did show that it was...
I see. Um[02:44:00]
It's complicated. I didn't really spend much time in the town. Um, my mother and I were in California by the time the town would be of any use to us. Um, we went to Vault 12. Mm-hmm. Uh, it was, you know, a source of contention between, uh, my mothers, but
Not a Val campaign without one Come on now. Come on now. I was gonna say, not a Val campaign- Come on now. We got pretty deep in. You are doing so
well. Episode two, pretty deep. Halfway. Halfway Um So you try to find the entrance? I'm t- trying to f- see what I can learn about my, my mother's documents. When she and my [02:45:00] mom split, uh, my mom chose to go to California. We went to Vault 12 instead. Um
The documents, some of them came with us to keep them here. She'll like, she's got a little Pip-Boy. Ooh, wee-zoo. It's the fun that quack. Um, uh- Hold on.
And she'll pull up, like, a little, uh, one of those fun little, like, texts from files. Like, ooh. Uh. Um, I'll just share it with you in the Fallout chat. Oh, perfect. Readings. Someone can read that one. I don't wanna- Silent reading. Someone can read it. My favorite time of e- It's silent reading time, everybody ... my favorite time, my favorite part of every table, or, like, every live tabletop thing- Is when everyone just-
is quiet reading time. Quiet reading time, please. Read all five of these paragraphs to me right now. All right, guys. Get your books. And then we'll have book club about it after, as [02:46:00] you all, like, take turns reading out loud. The Pip-Boy. Scroll, scroll, scroll. Scroll, scroll, scroll. Uh, yeah, yeah, alluding to th- th- the scary thing and science and practical.
Wow, I sure hope the device that blows up doesn't do anything bad to us here at the device that blows up factory.
Um- So is anyone gonna read it out loud? Or are we just- I can read it out loud. Yeah. I guess that's my job. Yeah. Uh, yeah, so- Can we do popcorn reading? Do we... Is that a word? That
sounds god-awful. Oh my God. I'll start first. Elaine. Oh my God. Hi. Okay, it's your turn. No, we can't do that. No, no, no, not that. No. No. All right, I'm gonna read it. I want the first paragraph. Um, yeah, this is a message from, uh, Dawn Millennium Uh, who did go by Donnie. You never really met Dawn. She kept to herself a lot.
Mm-hmm. Um, especially after she kind of fell out publicly with, [02:47:00] uh, her father when she was, like, probably around 17, 18. Um We'll get more into that lore after. Okay. But yeah, you met, like, her wife and kids sometimes, but she was, like, very well known for being kind of a recluse. Okay. Um, anyway, reading. "Elaine, I know there's nothing I'm going to do to convince you.
I still think this is a horrible idea. You can't trust Vault Tech, especially not where this family is concerned. I've sent the funds for you and Evelyn. It should cover your fees to reserve your spots at the vault. The rest, well, do with it what you will, but it'll cover it if you decide you wanna come back to Arcadia at any point.
You're always welcome here. I know you think Oliver was a basket case, and I know you think I haven't escaped that curse, but we'd be safe here, all of us, I swear. Whatever you choose, I understand, really. You've always had a better head on your shoulders. Whatever happens, I'll trust that you are doing your best to keep her safe.
If you'll suffer one more favor from me, I've included some of the schematics for the town. [02:48:00] Just pieces. Nothing that'll bring you trouble. Nothing that anyone can use without the rest, promise. But Vickery's making me nervous. A lot of talk about it being his project and his work. I'll let you know when to send them back.
Tell Ev I love her. I love you both, you know. I hope I'll get to tell you that again in person at some time, but for your sake, I'm trying that being practical thing that you were always on about. Be safe, be smart, take care of the both of you. Love always, Dawn." And that was To Kill a Mockingbird. Thank you.
I really, uh, really lusted out- Um- ... remembering I needed to write that- And, and the sche- ... in our first shoot. Have those schematics pieces been shared with us as well? No. Okay. Oh. I just wanted to be sure. We wanted to be sure. Um- Um. Oh, hey guys, isn't that the name of the... Schematics pieces? No, the crazy guy who's running the crazy guys up there.
The cr- s- uh, Vickery? Yeah. Vickery, yeah. Oh. That's his name. Yes. The Vickerys have been in charge of [02:49:00] the town for, well, ever. I don't think my mother really made it known that she was there. Most people thought she wasn't. Um, it went to Ollie's sort of second in command, Arlo Vickery, and since then it's just sort of been a dynasty.
Hmm. Have you tried knocking on the front door and asking? I don't know that that would go well. You're, like, the relative of their god. Ish. Seems pretty important. It could, it could go well. I could get a, you know, a grand entrance. It could also be that it's been hundreds of years, and the Vicaries are very defensive of this thing that they believe to be theirs.
In my experience with the Infinites, anything that messes with the- Your experience. Well, [02:50:00] I- I'm from around here. They don't like anything that contradicts their, their perception of events- They never liked Salamander Slim. They don't like anything that, uh, messes with their perception of events and with their- I liked Salamander Slim.
You were always my favorite. Thank you. Was it the skin? More so that, you know, my mom created that character, and it was sentimental to me. I- But yeah, the skin, too. I- Very realistic. And the human teeth. The human teeth, and the big cigarettes. It's to sh- Giant cigarettes ... it's to show the effects. But they don't really like anything that contradicts the cult worldview that they've created for their Infinites, and having- I think-
having Evelyn come in, I don't, I don't think it would go well. Having me exist at all when I'm supposed to be long gone is not necessarily great either. Well, you're not Salamander Slim. You're a guy who wore a costume. I think that- I know ... you lot would have a better chance of convincing them than [02:51:00] me. At least based off what I know.
I don't know much. We can try. So the, so the mutant... So the... Are they cool with, like, ghouls and super mutants and stuff, or, or am I, like, a no dice on, on these guys? I think it'll be all right. Okay. They're... They posture themselves as, you know, futurists, scientists. Yeah, a lot of groups do that. Mm. Well, that's fair.
I think it's hard to say. They're a wide sort of group of people. But-
It'd be all right Okay. Rounding. That's a rounding endorsement, or that's a ringing endorsement. I don't know. I haven't been in the park since I was 12 years old. Okay. So you've got us all here. We've gotten your creepy notes. Yes. We're here to respond. We're your kids. Thought you, you know, came out. I wasn't sure you would.[02:52:00]
We're here to respond. Mm-hmm. So what do you want from us? I would like you to go into the park for me, um, and see what you can just, just figure out. And then once you do that, once you perhaps find some more information about the Infinitown, how to access it, you know, that sort of thing, we can go-
And you'll provide snake skins when we accomplish our mission Yes. I'm not saying that we, you know, coup it, but if that's sort of the direction this, this takes us- We have a can coup attitude in this party, I think. Sure don't. Um- Let's- Look, I would hate to go any further into this park. I don't wanna get anywhere near the park or its operations or any of its controls, but if it's gonna result in me getting more snake skins, I think we gotta do this mission [02:53:00] I'm sure I can find you- Out of character, did you mean Wheatley?
Is that who this is? You know, I'm getting a Wheatley vibe from this whole thing.
Guy who's only seen Wheatley. You, you just referenced media and you go- Oh, no ... you go, "Guy who's only seen blank." It's funny. It makes you so upset. But no, I'm... You know, we, we, we scope out the park. We maybe see how open they are to me bringing my information, bringing, you know, my family's legacy back to the park.
There's a coup involved that's just sort of- Coups happen. Coups happen. And if, and if... And what is this information? Just missing pieces of the schematics, things that could get the town back up and functional. Okay. Well, why would we want it up and functional? What's the point? Well, it was like instead of a vault, it was, uh- Clean water
supposed to be a futuristic town that functioned ... clean food. No experiments, nothing crazy. No. It was just supposed to be a town that worked. Okay. That worked. So if it's a town that [02:54:00] worked, and these Infinites have been guarding it like it's, you know, some holy relic, why don't they just turn the power back on?
They might not know how. The systems failed ages ago, and these could fix them. It's... It could just be a land grab. And it also could be all... They, they just could be posturing and just using power, abusing power. They took over the park. They could be using this Infinatown as a kind of ideal. Everyone is interested in it for some reason.
That's, I think, the missing piece they're looking for. Why are the Molotovs there? Why is, why is, why, why is everyone congregating around this area now? What is the piece we're all missing here? Yeah, their means to gather us is a little extensive, but- It worked ... we're missing something. Or, and hear me out, crazy idea on this.
Yes. I have like [02:55:00] I think Xeric's whole vibe kind of shifts and he goes, "Hear me out. Crazy idea. Or-" The head of an ultra powerful capitalist company, this Kiv, who has missing components to the MacGuffin that a bunch of religious crazies are guarding, wants a group of rubes she can trick to get her into the park so that she can unlock this magic box and unleash a new hell that the wasteland hasn't seen before.
Now, I'm sure you're saying, "How do you- So that's win-win. I'm sure you're saying, "How do I know this?" I've seen it and I've heard about it happening a lot. So I'm a little suspicious, just a little bit. Um, but we'll be one of the four that are, you know, in power, we'll be trusted. So you don't, you don't care so long as you're the boot?
I mean- [02:56:00] Exactly ... if the bomb's gonna drop- This guy gets it. If the bomb's gonna drop, you might as well be in the vault. Have you thought that- It's just Florida ... have you thought that maybe- It's just Florida, guys ... have you thought
that maybe this is your failing as a civilization, right? This, this reoccurring thing you keep doing where you keep fighting over MacGuffins and, and nonsense instead of actually trying to build with what you've got. But wasn't this- What we- ... wasn't this originally a functioning town? Well- I really thought he was gonna be the paladin.
And what were you expecting? The, the Brotherhood of Steel would've come in here, blown your head off, and then taken the schematics for themselves. No. Yes. Yes. Your existence is a heresy to them. They would've killed you the same way they came and killed my mom. Whoa . You wanna talk about that? I, I think at this point Zarek's kind of, like, up in her face.
Yeah. Okay [02:57:00] I understand why you have hesitations. I'm someone you don't know asking you to deal with a great bit of politics and power and th- the future of Florida, as it were. A gold mine. But no, I, I've been sitting on this information for a while. I didn't always want to come here and bring it here, and open this whole can of armadillo.
But... Do you think they have can of armadillo around here? I d- I don't... I... I- Gift shop. I don't know, it's just, it could be something important, and maybe that's the Millennium in me or whatever, that sort of spirit of tomorrow, as my grandfather always had. But there might be something good and worthwhile and hopeful about [02:58:00] this that I can't just sit on forever.
And, you know, if the Vickerys are squandering that by just sitting on this as a sort of bastion in the center of Florida, why don't I see what I can do to make it something worthwhile again, like it was supposed to be. And if we're the ones who go in, we're the ones who- That's true ... get to decide what happens.
Do you guys wanna have a little sidebar real quick? Powwow. A little, little bit of a little sidebar over here. Perhaps don't go the way you came in. Not that- Is there another exit? Yeah. But if you need some time, I'm sure General Dre would be happy to have you. You can think it over. Just, you know. Do you have a suggested, uh, area to enter the park if we decide to go about this- Front gate.
Just walk in. Um- Well, um, you... I suppose it wouldn't be the worst to just try to [02:59:00] talk your way in. Mm-hmm. Exit through the gift shop. You guys are too chill about religious fanatics. Um, she will kinda, like, dig around her bag and take out a very, like, crumpled map of- Perfect ... uh, Millennium Park. Uh, front entrance remains an option, otherwise she'll kinda, like, mark a, you know, mark a little spot on your map.
It shows up on your little, like, quest marker. If you want to sneak in, this is the area that we've identified as the best spot to do so. Okay. Do you want to take a look at this? I mean, it's gonna be pretty familiar. Yeah. This is, you know this area. And that's the park. There's, there's probably, yeah, there's like a worker tunnel in that area that you could come up through probably- Mm
is what you get into it
Walking away from- Yeah, it, it, uh- Yeah. Well, I'm- "It was good to see you, Eve." "It's good to see you too, Charlie." You know? I like kind of puff my nostrils and I just kinda like, "Hmm," and then I walk away. [03:00:00] All right. Um, yeah. So the party has, whoa, a moral choice to make- ... in the Fallout game. What? Perhaps one that involves several factions- Ah, that's right
and several consequences. That's right. I would like Fawkes to enter the party. They can do it. They're immune to parks. I don't understand why I'm gonna have negative consequences for this. The wolves. The wolves. The wolves. Fawkes. Um, so as our party heads back to where they will to consider the information they've been given, I think that is an excellent place to leave it.
