Hello and welcome to another episode of Amberville City Heroes. I am Alex, aka the Game Mustard, aka the Game of Stardow. I'm here today with four lovely, we've done it before, I'm going to do it again, condiments. First we have mayonnaise, James playing, phalanx, elements all the way.
We have Miracle Whip, Geezel playing wayfarer. Cool, another thing that I hate that I also am. Isn't that how it goes? We all hate what we am.
I am what I hate, I am. We have dill flavored mayonnaise, Jake playing. I'm playing. It's all mayo.
People see me as dill flavored mayonnaise. I just, 2019 is the year I'm going to become Cranchup or whatever the fuck that's called. Cranchup. Oh my god.
What is that? Is that like ranch ketchup? Yeah, cranchup. Ee.
Because they made the mayo chup, right? Yeah. Cranch. Cranch.
Cranch. Cranchup. Cranchup. Cranchup.
Cranch. That's the worst name. And we've got Cranch. Shannon playing.
Oh, playing obscurity. Almost right here to name, but I didn't. And we are a real play-based podcast about superheroes canonical with everything else on this here feed with one of our lovely players who was here last time like to tell us what happened in the last episode. Yes, he's jumping for joy.
Oh, I forgot. James always does it. You forgot. It's just you figuring at him.
I don't know. I've got a bad memory. Oh, geez. All right.
We had summoned Dionysus. We started up a drunk party. I had some oil on my abs. They were epic.
We tried to get him to release free, but he says that the air elemental has free in life as harbor. So we debate whether or not to help out. Dudeg calls Frosty cop to warn them about clear because I think clear was just going to do it on their own. Dark Blades is in critical condition in life as harbor.
That's true. Frosty cop is transferring him to us. Wayfare checks on Bosemvetta and company. This one seems weird.
Oh, and I'm a tiny compass. Yes, band is playing the Chris. The Santa. The French Santa basketball.
The Bryan. The branch on my brain now is Bryan. It's Santa. Scaredy is meeting riot girl at a coffee shop near the festival to bury the hatchet.
I believe Dudeg and I went to the festival. Apparently I write this music is lit. Everyone is enraptured. A riot girl wants to make nice.
Blair Solomon is in town, but seems off. Scaredy tries to grab, get her attention, but gets attacked instead. Seems Blair is possessed. Yes.
Scaredy shouts at riot girl to run, but Iroman who is possessed Blair, someone's a hulking monster to stop her. Does that get that name right? Yes. Wayfare is approached by a god as he patrols.
I wrote on allerun. Yes. Allerun. Oh, yeah.
Whatever the GM decides. Of Scaredy stun guns Blair, riot girl is getting taken over by a god. The concert is lit though. I don't think we did anything.
That's what I got. Yeah. I got over to Wayfare. Wayfare, you were just leaving the area in which you were talking to Allerun.
Correct? Where you have to go? No, I think we left off there. He has vanished here on the park bench.
What do you do? I guess that was a weird experience. And I will go find out what my friends are up to before I do anything else. How do you do that?
Do that? Call me, beat me if you want to reach me. I'll use our team communicator to try to figure out where everyone warmed up at. All right.
Everyone gets a communique from Wayfare. I just met a god on a park bench. Are you guys okay? How enraptured are we?
You can still answer. Okay. You just think it's good music. Really?
This concert is pretty awesome. What god did you meet? Allerun. Do I know who that is?
I don't know. Roll me a lower. One. You've heard of Allerun.
He's a god from Africa. Okay. Good, bad, neutral. Usually you consider pretty good.
All right. Does he bless the reins down there? That's not his job specifically? Okay.
No. He's known to be prophetic. Yeah. That's not a bad one to meet.
Yeah. Obscured here. You can answer it all. Do I hear them?
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You totally do.
Guys, we have a problem. There's a really big monster. A what? Monster.
Where are you? By the coffee shop. Whatever the coffee shop name is. Beans and dunks.
What is that a play on? Dunk and donuts. Good. It doesn't have to be.
Not everything has to be a play out something. It does. Yeah. You're at beans and dunks.
I'll be right there. And I will start flying towards her as quickly as I can. All right. Do dad and phalanx.
You're at the concert, but you do hear that bit of information. You're not so enrafter that you have to stay here. You just dig the tunes. I guess I'll just try to find phalanx and ask him if he wants to take off.
Yeah, we probably should. It's a monster. That's pretty low stress, honestly. Could you use it with a workout?
I could beat up him. I could use beating up a monster right now. I would feel all right. Can you hear the music from here?
Do I still hear this over my headset? Yeah. Oh God. Seriously guys.
I'm glad the music's great. Can you hear the music? Yeah. In the distance.
Yeah. Kind of maybe. Nice. It's great.
Sure. All right. So we're going to go over to obscurity. What do you do?
You see Riot Girl being kind of taken over by some by something. Something has been shoved into her. She's kind of screaming and being taken over. It's just the one of her.
Can she multiply? No, it was just the one of her. Did I see? Did I physically see something under her?
Yeah. Vormonger shoved something into her. Oh, oh, jeez. What's the monster doing?
The monster who is Vormonger shoved the phalanx? Oh. Shoved the thing into her. Oh, sorry.
Apologies. There's so many names happening. So many. So many.
So what do you do? I'm going to attempt to rocket boot my way to their faster. Okay. You can get there pretty fast.
What are you going to do when you get there? Does he have a face? Yeah. He has kind of more than one face.
He's got like he's got a face kind of on a head that's kind of on a big thick neck but also like down his body. He has a giant maw. How many eyes does he have? It looks like two.
You go into that you can see. You're going to hit him where his eyes are. I'm going to poke him in the eyes. All right.
Roll me a fight to poke him in the eyes. Three. Okay. He rolls two to defend.
He gets poked in the eyes. Blair Solomon who's obviously possessed grabs right girl and they hop through a portal and they vanish. The big monster tries to eat you. He got a five to bite you with his giant chest mouth.
I got a three. Okay. You take two damage and you're being chewed. Wayfarer.
You get there and you see obscurity getting mawashed by a giant before manga monster. Oh, what the fuck? Yeah. He's gross.
Okay. I'm going to hit it. Okay. Go for it.
That's a three. He doesn't even seem to really try to dodge. He kind of just takes your hit. I'm going to say for the sake of expediency.
Phalanx and do that you get there right after. Oh, perfect. I guess it goes first. I think phalanx usually goes first.
I think so. Yeah. Which way is he facing? You're coming up from behind.
All right. So I'm going to throw my spear at him. All right. And then you jam spear deep into a spine.
Nice. Dr. Can I try to make a stealth roll to sneak up and pour something into his mouth? Which mouth?
The one she's me. Yeah. The one chewing chan. I'm going to try to like see if I can slip in some epic hack or something which will make a nauseous and kind of vomiting.
Okay. Okay. Romy that. Negative three on stealth.
Okay. Do you want me to even roll for the other one? You can. He doesn't seem to care though.
I mean you're sneaking up and you definitely know that he notices that he doesn't seem to care much. Okay. Well, I got a two on my role to administer the epic. Okay.
Let's say I've just created an advantage maybe. Yeah. That's totally successful. He does not seem to be defending at all.
Mmm. Bad. Okay. So you created an advantage of noisious.
For his turn he spits obscurity out. Oh. Plans. Sorry.
He spits you out and he seems to grow a little bit and he gives a big belly chuckle and he kind of growls and chuckles and he's just kind of making like he's very pleased with the situation. And then he starts climbing up the building just to get like pretty casually. I'm going to say obscurity. Okay.
So he's not fast. I'm not building. No. He seems like he could go fast.
It just seems like he's not giving a shit. Taking a sweet old time. Can I still get to his mouth? Yeah.
You can rock a boot up there. Okay. I'm going to go intangible. Okay.
Is his mouth open? Yeah. He kind of uses it to climb like he's using his arms and legs but also the mouth is kind of moving and the teeth are stabbing to the side of the building and also kind of propelling him up. Kind of like the mini sharp teeth in his giant stomach maw are acting kind of like caterpillar legs.
Did I see anything in his mouth? Um, when you first like got into there you saw like a bunch of giant or a whole bunch of rows of like a shark's teeth and then like a couple different gullets. Okay. So there's not like a tongue.
No. Does he have like a uvula? Yeah. You saw a couple uvula.
Okay. I would like to go intangible. Yeah. And reach in trying to avoid his teeth.
I would like to make my hand, can I make just a body part? Unintangible. I would want you to roll a skill for that. What skill would you roll for that?
I don't know. I don't know. What skill would it fall under? If you can't pick one I would say will.
Okay. All right. What did you get for will? I got a one.
Okay. You can make a body part intangible for now. Okay. Basically I'm trying to grab a stupid uvula and yank on it.
Okay. All right. Roll fight. Right.
I can say that. Roll fight. So I got a five. All right.
You yank on his uvula. He gags because he's already nauseous. Um, he gags because he's already nauseous and then he vomits up a acidic bile all over the side of the building. It melts and sizzles and it's gross.
Does this mean my hand is on? No. Well, you know what? I'm going to have you roll an athletics real quick.
Um, let's see. That would be a two. Okay. You're able to pull your hand out just in time.
Okay. Or at least make it, um, intangible. Yeah. If I notice I'm getting her.
Yeah. Yeah. So he pukes us all to the side of building splashes and slides down and windows melt and bricks crack. Uh, wait fair does your turn?
Gross. Gross. Yeah. Um, I'm going to stop trying to punch him directly because I don't really want to touch that dude.
I am going to fly up and try to shoot some weird energy at him. Okay. Go for it. Hey, that is five.
All right. You blast him with weird energy. It slows him down for a second, but then he continues to climb. Uh, failing since your turn.
Your spear is still jammed in his back. All right. Is the portal still open? Uh, no.
That portal is good. Okay. Anyone else? Was there anyone else?
Uh, it was just your whole team. Okay. It was just Solomon and then, oh, Solomon and Rygrove. They're gone now.
Okay. Uh, I mean there's a coffee shop attendant who seems reluctant to run, but he doesn't want to be nearby. Poor beans and donks. Yeah.
Beans and donks is real fucked. How high is my local business? Uh, he's about halfway up the building. Jeez.
Oh, hi, it's this building. Uh, it's not a super high building. It's like, uh, oh, seven stories. Oh.
It's not like a skyscraper, nothing. Okay. I guess I will find a door to find some stairs. Is there a fire exit?
Yeah, there's a fire exit. I'll start climbing. All right. We're all mean athletics to get up the fire exit.
Minus one. All right. So you're climbing it, but it's kind of slow. It's not as fast as a, a parkour boy would be, but you're climbing up and on the beginning and next to me, we'll be at the top of the building.
Dr. Deude had what are you doing? So is he's still trying to get up the building or no? Yeah, he's still climbing.
Okay. I'm going to see if I can use my mucus arm to try to like grab one of his arms and bind it or grapple it. Okay, go for it. Okay, I got two.
All right. He does not seem to be slowed down by your strength and like you googled with your goop arm and as he's climbing like you're sliding across the ground and like because he because you're being slilted towards where he's climbing you're being slid towards the big pool of acidic gross vomit. Okay. So like you're not quite in it yet, but if you keep holding on you're probably your feet are going to be jammed in it real quick.
Okay. Do I have time to like maybe use the noticing this using the goop arm to like slingshot myself onto the side of the building? Sure. Roll me off looks for that.
Sure. That's three. Yeah, totally. You're able to slingshot yourself slingslop.
Slingslop. You've been slingslop to the side of the building and you are there. Okay. I'm going to try to just like hang up a couple of stories of both him and Spider-Man style and try to prepare for him climbing up.
Okay. On his turn, he does in fact climb up and will reach the top of the building. What are you trying to? Are you at the top of the building too, right?
Do that? I'm trying to prevent him from getting up there, but if he can power through it in enough time, there's not much I can do about it. Okay. Yeah.
He's like climbs around you kind of. Okay. Yeah. I'll fruitlessly try to punch him or something.
Okay. Yeah. But he gets up to the top and then he speaks in like kind of a low grumbly voice, but it's really loud. And it's kind of hard to hear what he's saying because it's remotely the right way I read it.
But then he blasts what looks like a puke cannon towards the building adjacent and splashes through the building and you hear a bunch of people screaming because they were in the building. Oh. And I will go to obscurity. There's a big building with a big old pool of acid acid vomit and people inside are screaming and running away.
I will rock it myself over there to make sure that people are cleared of the. Okay. Yeah. So you're rescuing people?
Yes. You fly over there. There's a bunch of people in danger of being puked or the puke getting on them. It's like alien.
Remember alien the movie where the puke goes to the floor? It's like that. It's like eating through shit pretty quick and people are not prepared for it. So you are saving people.
Wayfare it is your turn. I am going to fly over to the pukey part two and see if I can try to convert it over to like water or a more benign substance. Give me a weird energy roll. Okay.
One of them bad boys. That is another five. All right. Yeah.
You're you spend a turn and you're just starting to turn the acid into water. Good job. And like the airbender. Yeah.
Except that's not what they better. Water. Air. Puke.
These are the four elements. Oh man. Remember that show there's the bloodbender? Yeah.
Yeah. That was that was dope as hell one to do that. That bloodbender must have been able to be that puke too. Yeah.
Yeah. That's what I was going to say. Yeah. I like it.
All right. Before he was vendor. Yellow bile black pile. Blood.
This area. Or cone. So we're going to go over to the feelings. What are you doing?
I'm at the top of the building. Yeah. Okay. See off the ground.
What do you mean? How do they? How does he stand? He's got these leg things with big claws on the end of them.
Is this stomach off the ground? It's slightly off the ground. Dinosaur. Yeah.
Yeah. Okay. It is raised off the ground a little bit. I'm going to try and do a running slide underneath them and jab my sword up as I slide.
All right. Roll me an attack for that. Three. All right.
You slide. You give him a big little slice. Okay. Dr.
Dude, is your turn. How big is this mouth? It's a pretty big thing. He's about a little under elephant size.
Okay. And the mouth runs from like what you think would be the base of his neck to like where you think his taint would be. Oh, good. I was thinking about that a lot by the way.
So is there like a nearby billboard? Yeah. There's one on a nearby building advertising like breath mints. Okay.
It's like, can I try to use my like laser surgical tools to peel the big sticky part off? I'm going to try to wrap it around his head so we can't puke all over the place. All right. Go for that.
Okay. So what do I roll under that? Roll a fight because you're trying to wrap him up. Okay.
Four. All right. He doesn't really defend you. You wrap him in the sticky billboard on his turn.
He says another low grumbly thing. Everybody roll me a notice. Three. That's one.
Wait, is it a sound? Yes. So one. Okay.
One. Wait, what did you get? Dr. your dad?
Two. And you got three. Yes. You get one.
All right. So obscurity, you notice that he is saying words, but he's saying them really slow. So it's like if you were to take like a recording and slow it down a shit ton, that's kind of, he's talking that slowly and grumbly. Okay.
Does that make sense? Yeah. So like if you were. Yeah, he's chopped and screwed to a point.
It's unrecognizable. Okay. So now noticing this, can I understand it or it's I just know that he's saying something. You just know that he's saying something.
But it's like it's slow, so slow and grumbly and fucked up that it's like you can't hear it without doing some sort of post production to it. Okay. Can I record please? Yeah.
Yeah. Also, you do know. Let me know what you notice. It's three.
Okay. So you do know that Dr. Dude had pretty much records everything we do. Oh, that's right.
So you probably already have recordings of all of it. Okay. So then on Vormonger's turn, he seems to get a little bit bigger and start floating up towards the sky and then vanishes. Just hoof.
Yeah. Kind of. Or he gets so high that we can no longer see. He just kind of kind of poofs.
Poofs. Uh huh. He does it. He does a poofs or he fades.
He poofs. Well, not like a poof of smoke, but he does kind of pops. Yeah. He just he totally pops.
It's very. Yeah. He's just like a bubble. Like a bubble.
He's gone. All right. Dude, dad, he is saying something just very slow. Yeah.
Yeah. Did you happen to catch any of that on video or otherwise? It's automatically me look at it. We're just thinking if we speed it up.
Yeah. I'm trying to make it play out of my mouth and then like project the thing on a holo screen. Yeah, sure. Okay.
So whatever it is, I'm trying to find a speed where you can see what it or you can hear what he's trying to say. Okay. Yeah. You mix it up a little bit.
You have to kind of play with the settings, but eventually you hear stuff. He's saying things like how dare you challenge we are. There's no way to defeat me. I'm the endless.
I'm the beginning. That kind of like weird got shit. Mm. I suppose after I do all that I'm gonna be like.
So pretty pretentious for guy that just pukes everywhere. Um, everybody does anybody have lore? That's a lore. Alright.
Anyone that wants to can roll me a lore role. Sure. It's a four. Okay.
That's plenty. You do know that we are all is the mowery God of darkness. Okay. Just basically the embodiment of evil.
So. So. The more you pull it. Got a people.
Did I recognize that it was kind of a similar vibe to the other like Wolf Cop and. Oh, yeah. Totally. It's totally like whatever that monster was wasn't initially that but was taken over by a we are all we are okay.
I'm gonna say out loud. So that's a death God guy. I guess. Anyone know anything about we're oh anyone?
Nope. They like something you're kind of a guy. Uh, flipping a card. Nope.
I haven't encountered that one yet. This is too much God shit. I agree. Especially when it comes to vomit.
A lot of patience for a lot of stuff. I go into people's bodies. The vomit is gross. It's gross.
It's like a. It's a darkness or death embodiment of evil and darkness. Yeah. Well, that's not happy at all.
Is that a group of guys? Is there one of these evil guys? Are they friends? What's going on?
Oh, I'm gonna tell them about the whole Blair and Riot girl disappearing to a portal. That seems bad. Yeah. And that monster guy like shoved something in Riot girls mouth before they left.
That disappeared. Sounds a lot like what happened to Wolf Hop. Oh, remember? Yep.
Fendrier. Yeah, somebody just ran on and ran in there. Well, I mean, this is clearly going to keep happening in our city. I mean, who can we talk to get some information about these guys?
I'm going down. Well, I don't know. Yeah. If no one has any answers to that or any other actions, what's anybody going to do?
Shoot. Is my spear gone? Yeah. Shit.
You can get a new spear. I know. That one though. Across the street from the beans and ducks, there was an Imperial imports and there's a nice game going there.
They have some all spears. Mals spears. Yeah, you know like small spears, mall swords. Like that's where the mall ninjas get all their weapons.
Felix is entire costume comes from one of the guards outside of a pf chain. I'll just make my own. You're going your franchise on. You know what?
From the tiger, sleepy tiger importance. This is a real kind of guanos spear. Thank you. It's a replica one.
Yeah. Exactly. Oh boy. Okey dokey.
All right. Well, sometimes sometimes goes by anybody going to do anything as time goes by. I'm going to try to bug my cactus and see if he'll talk to me about the death gods. Okay.
You do get response from your from your deity. I got to get back into his voice. What is it that you want? So are you associated with his what's his name?
What was his name? Willow. No, we're not at all. Okay.
Does that mean you're fighting him? Yes. All right. So let's say we wanted to go shut him down.
Where would we go? I'm not sure if I if I do that. I would send you there anyway. Okay.
There I guess he is aligned with the apocalypse. Bad. Yes. That is what we're fighting against.
All of us are your team in mine. We want something left at the end. Then we have that much in common, I guess. You think this partnership is one sided, but I'm fighting for you as well.
Okay. Look, I don't know what the fuck you're talking about half the time. Do you know anyone else that's associated with this guy? Maybe we can track on some leads or something.
I'll look into finding something if you want to be that proactive. I do. He's going to start killing people in my city. He's going to start killing people everywhere.
Then we might as well get up to it. Okay. I'll let you know what I find. I will then water his cactus and give it some nutrients in the soil.
Okay. The weird fleshy skull that popped out of your cactus turns back into cactus. Mm-hmm. This is a good idea.
Clean the lab is clean. The cactus helps with air quality. It's very soothing. He's disgusting, but at least we have something.
Yeah. Totally. Is anyone else doing anything over this time? I guess I want to do a thing.
Yeah. What do you want to do? I am going to go to my room and shut the door. And basically say out loud, all the room, and are you listening?
Your radio turns on. And you hear the static. And then you hear a real pleasant smooth voice come through. He's like, yes, I'm always listening.
Well, I knew that you'd be calling. I figured as much. I did think about what you said. And I think that if you know as much as you know, you also know that I would want to do this on my own terms and that I would hope that you would respect that.
Absolutely. Okay. I agree to your proposition. It's nice to have you on board.
And while I do see possible futures, I hope that one of them is beneficial to all of us. If I can help so. All right. The radio turns off.
Okay. You can do anything else other than that. Mmm. Just going to sit here for a while.
