Hey, we are here. It is Des Moines and Fallout episode three and we are back Okay, yeah, so let's bring this into pretty brief cuz we want to jump into the action with with mr. Keith so Starting off man. What are we doing these interests?

It's been so long. Right? Yeah 2020 has been weird so I guess We're back we will have our little narrator walk us in but before we get into that But just like a really really quick like what do people been up to mostly because I want to share that I'm moving to Iowa and that is super exciting and I got to call like an hour ago So I don't know most people here. I'm moving up to Johnson.

So who is a exciting life milestone. Yeah Yeah Superb in Iowa. Oh, yeah There's I'm sure as much going on there isn't downtown Iowa right now with covid so you're right. Yeah, that would be correct There's nothing all of the best venues are closing Everything's getting canceled Ripfod ville muse.

Oh god heartbreak Yeah, what is that I heard about it? I don't know what oh it was really great and nostalgic venue in town a really great old building with me just resting divey floors is it at all similar to the social club Yeah, it's more so it's just a venue Okay, I think every people I hear about something like that closing down and I don't know if that's just because covid or just because It's changing and yes, probably both yeah, yeah, I mean most lot of covid. That's it. Yeah, I'm very curious what the world looks like a year From now god.

I hope we're done right and rice. I hope you're here good good question Yeah, what's closed what you know, I've heard You know, yeah, who made it through and then what new businesses are starting which I have getting bought out by who is my question There's a lot of these venues Things getting bought out Bethesda who makes fallout and stuff I'm very mixed feelings. I it could be really really good. It could be really really bad I'm leaning towards good because I've heard interviews from other developers that are under Microsoft like the day that the Xbox leak happened Phil Spencer was messaging some of the wasteland I think it's wasteland the wasteland guy's about a bug that Phil Spencer found and this was the day of the Xbox leak So it's telling that they give a shit right?

Yeah, I'm good stuff So my hope is it's good. I mean it gave worse than fall. It's gonna be real But that that game was not good. That was an extra hot and turd.

I kept meeting to like pick it up Just to see how bad it was just cuz I mean it looked I tried it. It was fun for a night or two Yeah, the most impressive thing the best thing about that game best thing by far It's no one else has ever talked about this as far as I know but the radio was synced with every player at the same time So I was walking through the world with my friends on discord I'm listening to one of the radio stations And I didn't know he was listening that same radio station And he started like melding the words to a song that I heard and it made me very very happy And that was the only truly happy moment I think I had during that game because everything else is very bland and blah and whatever and I heard it got better But I never went back. Yeah, that was a truly and I'm sure I don't know how technically complicated that is because it's just audio files getting synced between Multiple users, right? That was cool thing everything else was sort of meh, right?

So but yeah, it can't be worse than follow 76. Yeah, I hope it's good. There's no time to play mediocre games Yeah, no, not anymore not with everything that's been yeah too many good games to play I've been playing a shit ton of among us which I don't know if that counts as like a crappy game It's a simple game, but I don't I don't know it's really fun I it's like I imagine it's gonna be like a lot of things and kind of face out quickly But I was kind of like a friend of mine was like oh yeah, let me show you how to play it I'm like this is gonna be silly, but it's like okay. This is this is kind of cute like I understand I understand where this would be kind of fun.

I don't really like playing online very much, but yeah I've seen various people to play online and it doesn't look great. I'm playing with friends is awesome I played with some co-workers at the end of a workday one day when I was cool But you know it's it's a cute party game. That's not Like a jack box or something like that. Oh, it's actually one you have to think a little bit which I enjoy yeah, you're thinking Yeah, I've been playing also.

I guess Crusader Kings three came out. So I've been playing Crusader Kings two a Lot and so I got three things three. It's fun But it man it is a lot I I'd never played a single Crusader Kings and like three days before I came out I was messaging a friend like hey, are these any good? And it's like yeah, this is my like number one binge hour game I would definitely play two and then wait a year before you play three so So far that has been a great plan.

I'm excited to play the third one which looked very pretty which is why I was like yeah This is great. Should I play but I look forward to playing that in like 2023 my first lord died My first like real lord. I did a couple test one figure things out. He died when he was 49 his son died when he was 40 And my I'm currently playing as my first year as granddaughter because my second one didn't have any boys And she's in her like mid 30s and I just want to hope that I can at least make it to his all this appearance Yeah, because everyone else I know they're getting like their characters are dying of old age in their 70s And my guys are dying as like they're dying of leprosy in their 40s or like cancer at 40 and it's like Yeah, it's yeah.

I enjoy the punishment of the game. I think that's yeah Failing is just as fun as succeeding sometimes I've definitely sent several texts to the spend being like all of my concubines are pregnant and my favorite one cheated on me And I'm very upset about it and now I don't know what to do and it's like that's just a normal sentence What a fantastic bit of information that whole set yeah It's and it's just like I cut out my eye and now it's oozing weird puss and my rival is gonna challenge me to a duel The FBI agent reading your text like yeah, yeah, don't worry about it and then yeah just murder and mayhem and yeah It's it's super fun But it like it definitely takes like 64 hours to be like to kind of know everything about what's going on Oh, yeah, I'm sure my next wife who's gonna be very very different than my current one. Yeah, so Okay, I think we're gonna let our narrator play us in so we will be back for episode three follow The nuclear winter mr. Midwest don't worry.

I'm sure our mutual love for each other will keep us warm and the radiation gets to be too much But anyway, what you're really here for is for more stories about that robot and that cool dr. Midge Well after uh not falling for the deathclaw attack of the infamous stumpy a while ago They happened to stumble across an interesting doctor named dr. David Now that name might sound familiar to some of you people because he's the local coupe that thinks that he can uh Unferal some ghouls a little crazy I know But it seems that our heroes have fallen in league with this gentleman and uh I hear that they found a willing volunteer for his experiments I think he was the name Well, that's the case. I'm interested to see how this blaze out But once we get done, I will be retiring ladies and gentlemen.

Yes, it's been great these years serving as your DJ Once this adventure wraps up. I think I'm gonna go somewhere warm Like new Vegas maybe what a great way to expand on life savings, but anyway folks stay tuned Let's see what these two get into this week Boy men fall out episode three under my skin trigger warning folks for sci-fi body horror Okay, so we are in the winter of Des Moines and as often these things start with you know So music playing the background some very fall out themed, you know music Uh like as one does sort of like bluesy old school whatever and we're at like the edge of Des Moines And it's sort of like super zoomed out and we just seeing the ruins of the you know the destruction of Des Moines Uh after you know the bombs fell Right and then we're gonna slowly zoom in as this song is playing towards this little workshop and there's a little smokestack going out the side And then eventually the camera, you know goes through one of the blasted out windows and we see midge we see sully We see dr. Dava and then tied up on this workbench when I say tied up It's not just regular work tied up. It's like there's a feral ghoul that's been brought into town That has like all sorts of these like big chains wrapped around its arms and legs and you know every normal Strap that dr.

Dava would have used for people has been added on to sort of hold this creature down Okay dr. Dava just sort of like looks around and he's got this you know strange sort of yellowish liquid in a syringe he's like well, uh, I guess uh, I guess it's time and He looks to the two of you and what are you guys doing to this like what's the screen on sully's face or how's midge reacting? midge has got like one hand on like the Keith's shoulder and she's just kind of like patting it up and down like proudly like yep This is friend Keith like totally normal I think for sully look over at his screen and his uh, I guess avatar has just got z's coming out of it Okay. Now I forget he was asking for a volunteer.

Are you pretending that this is a normal guy that you've got to volunteer? Yes, okay Yes, because I think it's pretty clear to most people that this is a feral ghoul but uh, yeah I mean, yeah, it's one of those things where he knows and you know, but you're both not saying the words that you're saying He's he's really agitated, but don't worry about it. He's 100% Absolutely able to give consent to this treatment. This is definitely a definitely 100% Good to go medical experimentation Okay, let's uh start a stabbing He uh, he inserts the syringe into Keith's shoulder and uh sort of does one last look around the room And then he injects this liquid in and there's an immediate reaction on the arm where there's just this like you can sort of Because their skin is you know essentially not there or it's like sort of rotted away So when you put injections into these things a little bit of it probably like leaks out and then like you can see this stuff running through their body Okay, and i'm going to have uh, Keith make a couple of checks if you guys want you can use story points to either help or hinder these checks Uh, but you only have two story points and it kind of depends on you know, they're a valuable resource.

I think that we should see how this happens I don't know enough about what's happening to I have faith keeps it strong boy I keep keep this on its own. Okay, so it is going to be there's going to be a resilience check first off Which is your like general and prettiness And we're rolling it as if the green dice the good dice that's like you guys that's him trying to resist whatever thing is happening, right? So first things first Uh, we roll and he got one success and three disadvantage So he actually it was it was a pretty difficult role actually So from that there is going to be a discipline check And a discipline is based off of your willpower. Is that correct?

Can one of you guys check on your skills? Yep. Uh, oh there you go It's okay. Yeah Okay, so it is a Unfortunately, several ghouls are not very wise.

Oh, he's got a fairly low chance to succeed on this one. Yeah, but I would I will say Uh, he succeeded on that one the four dissed the three disadvantage. I'm going to give him a penalty on this one as well So this is going to be a very difficult check to make I believe in your teeth. Yeah, you will see strong boy I mean this was not about strength this one's about strength of mind not strength of body.

All right and he How in the good gravy? I'm dropped but look at all those disadvantages though. Okay, so he was rolling two green dice four purple dice and a black dice And he rolled overall two successes, I believe in him and six disadvantage You might have to sleep for the next month. Yeah, that is not at all what I was expecting to be honest there.

Okay So that means is so this this Injection is put into him and then this liquid and you guys can see this thing pulsing through his body and it goes through It goes directly to his left arm and you see it sort of like go down his arm first and then you see it going into his you know chest area and When it travels through the rest of the body, it's not like a regular Circulatory system so he doesn't like get rotated through the heart area and then go out from there It just sort of uniformly spreads throughout the entire body So it's not necessarily going through the blood because you don't know necessarily what the again organs are like for a imagining it's like a like a gel or like a goo exactly like Something very strange and weird and also any science that's been explained in one of the video games I'm not using here because that 100% CDC approved. Yeah Right, this is round one of the vaccine. Yeah, yeah Don't worry about the color or the consistency just find a wild animal and pretend it's a human and inject it and say it happens Right. It's fine.

How medicine works. It's fine. No, I think at that You also like kind of you know, but he's been sarcastically asleep. It looks like you'll meet bags always with your goo Okay, that's what makes it beautiful So this liquid spreads throughout the body, right and it's uh, it's much more focused in that like upper left arm area And but it does spread through the rest of his body But by the time it gets to probably his like upper leg it starts to like fade out It doesn't really go through all of him just because it's what it probably does But it just makes a point we can't see it through the like, you know rotten flesh bits on him It was concentrated up on that arm.

Is that where the ghouls get? Uh, she uh she just kind of like shush is him like she like puts her finger up to like his screen Shush watch watch the magic And the doctor is over in the corner is like he's got his nose Uh his nose and he's just like taking notes like you're saying you just hear like the pencil scratching on paper Just the you know, that's constant, right? And something's a few minutes goes by and it's it's very tense and you're expecting you're expecting something big or crazy and Five minutes goes by 10 minutes go by and eventually starting on his in that upper left shoulder area Uh Some of the the flesh is starting to fall off Uh, like yeah Some of this runs flesh is just sort of like falling off and immediately doctor David comes over and like has this some sort of instrument to like grab it and pick it up and inspect it and is looking all over And everyone's sort of looking at this, you know, this fleshy Especially with him starting to fall off and then the you know, camera pans back to Keith And you see the reason why it's falling off is underneath it is actually human looking skin is starting to like grow Rapidly underneath this you don't know how functionally it works because again, there is no real circulatory system Something really is happening here, but he's regrowing at least skin Uh, remind me was he did you guys knock him out or did you bind him or how did you do to the create? Did you try to knock him out?

Do you remember? I just held him in place I think I just had him dead and that's right. Yeah. Yeah, okay So and as you as you look to the rest of him This you know fleshy bit only seemed to go in like the shoulder and then maybe a little bit of the upper arm and then like maybe a Very small amount of the like chest heading towards like the heart area It's sort of stopped there And but you see the the creature is still like sort of like trying to look around but struggling It's still acting similar to how it was beforehand.

What do you guys do? Clearly? Something has changed he's still looking around and at this point doctor David is just taking notes and like, you know Keeps looking at things. They're probably you know, they've got this, you know prodding device that they're like sort of like picking off a little bits and pieces near where the flesh has grown.

He's like pulling more of the dead skin off and seeing other reactions, but during this do you guys do anything? So what do you do? Mitch immediately like jumps over and starts pestering him and like asking him scientific questions about like dosages and formulas and like asking like about like expected prognosis and She's just like wanting to get as much information as possible because this is fascinating and it's something new Uh, yeah, but you've never seen something like this before. She is.

Yeah, she is over over the moon About her good friend Keith and finding new ways that she can potentially torture information out of him probably because I'm sure Keith is having the time of his life Yeah, medical science being what it is. Like I'm sure this is like a really fun forced injection transformation scenario, but okay Okay, so at the same time, so we like rolls up to Keith and just starts looking at him and uh, I don't know meatbags could do that. Okay. Do you understand what I'm saying?

That's he respond. Yeah, Keith is just like he's looking he looks at you Uh, but you can't tell immediately if he's looking at you because you got close or because he's understanding your words Uh, and then uh, midge. Let's have you roll up a medicine check to see what's kind of he's gonna talk unfairly specific techno Uh, he's gonna give you very technical information. Uh, but I'm gonna have you do a roll to see how well you understand said information Damn, so that is three successes a critical success and a threat uh, so with the threat, I'm gonna say that uh, just gain a point of stress as you're like trying to comprehend all the information you're being given and Dr.

David goes into uh, really integral into the like what he's in this uh, divide You're what was in the the liquid that was injected in him It was like, you know, ex milliliters of this ex milliliters of that I started to talk about the scientific process of you know What is it supposed to do? It's supposed to essentially bring the flesh back to life and reinvigorate, uh, the dead Uh, you know, he probably at some point mentioned reading in old books about necromancy and you can't tell uh as an audience We don't know if he's talk if he's talk about like actual people trying through necromancy or if it's some old Like some old dnd book or something where there was a you know, a necrom an evil necromancer in the fantasy world We I think it'd be really funny if soli almost turns around and he's got a an avatar of gary gags because why not? Roll for initiative. Ha that's great Uh, yeah, he talks about this.

Yeah necromantic magic that was told by the tombs of old and when you you know, when you've got the right Old tombs buried in Des Moines right Yeah, uh, it's way flint cemetery actually There's probably yeah, there's a buried necromantic tome there. I'm totally yep. That's came now Yep, we accept So from your understanding what i'll give you from the critical success is you may understand what he did a little bit better than he did So you know that whatever he did Probably would could potentially if it works and it clearly it did at least a little bit Could bring life back to something it it somehow found the various compounds from this thing and that thing and pulled them together and created life In some way, but that doesn't finally did but it yeah It doesn't fix the fact that the internal organs are all gone or turned to mushy doesn't change the fact that the brain As far as you know is just gone now there hasn't really been intricate research on the social workings of ghouls because they're just eventually they're from crazy No, um, anthropological. Yeah now there's probably been research on going one way going from normal to feral But no one has after something is feral.

It is feral. There's nothing going the other way as far as you know That is impossible. Maybe it's a thing but from what you can tell uh, this guy probably didn't cure him of ghoulism Or I don't know what the technical term is but Probably at least in some way changed this creature and clearly it's not done, but it was it was a partial success, right? Fastening and he sort of like you know puts his papers down and goes well, uh, I think we need to Well, this is only a partial success.

You see it's only only fact of the shoulder So I think we need to we need to continue with your a friend Keith be okay with continuing or or would you? And she cuts him off and she's like no Keith is so dedicated to the science that we're doing here doctor. Uh, yeah sign Keith up He does good. Uh, he's just over overwhelmed.

You see with the science. So, uh, don't don't expect him to to maybe vocalize that But trust me he's thinking it right when we brought it up to him people these chains on himself We didn't so excited so overcome with emotion and intelligent thought about the science. So yeah, yeah, stab him some more I think maybe more about work poop Formulaeically, I think that's probably key right you need some one of those more hats we can get some uh, yeah Which would be some we'll come up with some things and yeah, let's uh, let's keep going for round two. Yeah, yeah He sort of nods to him.

He's like, okay, what's uh, let's He goes over to a drawer pulls out another one of these uh, these syringes and this time he pulls out one It's probably 50% bigger. It's a definitely a larger syringe this time It's got more of the the liquid goo in it and it comes up and looks again back to the two of you Sicks it in and then you know depresses the plunger Once again, uh, and this time he went into his right shoulder, uh, different side Uh, the liquid spreads through the body similar to sort of thing where it just sort of uniformly goes throughout his system And we are rolling another resilience check Uh, the difficulty is one last time because he's already had he's already succeeded once at this operation In case it's important I think at some point midge has grabbed like an old lab coat off of like a hook somewhere and has like pulled out her own notebook and is like taking notes And he's pulled out like a pair of glasses from somewhere like so I think she's gone like full scientist cosplay Yeah, but it's only doing anything during all this or is he just I think uh, he's just gonna back up and For some reason decides to peruse the nearest bookshelf because he's just killing time This is this is useless meat bag stuff, but you know, it's getting me into places. I can't go anywhere. Okay More necromatic tomes So on that roll he was rolling three green versus three purples was a 50-50 and once again keep succeeded on his resilience check Two successes and four threat so four disadvantage so passionate about the science kind of percent Uh, so this time what I'm gonna say all that disadvantage, uh is keep passes out He just whatever whatever's going on with his body just overwhelms him and he just falls asleep essentially I think silly like sees it and goes, you know, he doesn't pass out robots He can be bagged and then he goes back to his just meandering Uh, and then we're gonna roll another uh, what's the next one not resilience.

It was war power So he's got two versus he succeeded that one. Yeah, so two versus three again And this time he does not have the black guys because he's not like stressed out. He's just falling asleep. He's just sleeping on this Okay So, uh, what we got was two failures and two disadvantage, but Keith is currently asleep at the moment So we don't necessarily know what that means yet But what the success is on the other role means is he injected much more of this mystery formula into Keith and A lot of his like it takes again probably five or ten minutes But eventually a lot of his ghoul surfaces just start to like fall off And it's it's actually quite like at first It was just like a little piece here and there but this so because then so much was added to him at once And it's happening very rapidly.

This like is really like sort of gnarly nasty Just like you know, Pete bits and pieces of him are just like falling off it You know every single like plop plop of this dead flesh falling from his body onto the ground That is not the sound effect that I wanted. No, it doesn't do that robots I mean if a robot's arm falls off it'll clank, but it definitely won't plop That's not a gross noise. Yeah, it's not gross. Yeah gross It's just yeah, it's it's better squish, but it's it's close for those of you at home If you want an actual like kind of a simulation of a givest bunch and then drop it repeatedly Yeah gross Dishes now just throw them all out.

Yeah, so these yeah body part You're not body parts But you know bits of flesh and things fall off and there's probably like on his especially on his head Where it's like really like around his like facial features ears nose those fall off And they still even have a little bit of facial form to them and those yeah, they just they you know fall off And you know there's times where it's almost comical almost just discussing We're like an ear falls off and sort of like falls and if the camera just looked at this like half dead ear on the ground It would look like oh someone got sick and cut off an ear, but it's just like this you know mound of flesh, right? So because uh, so he knows how to get a rise out of mid kind of like picks it up gingerly goes image I think she kind of rolls her eyes and continues taking notes like as fast as she possibly can like so yeah, probably 20 30 minutes of this goes by and not all of him but probably 90% of Uh his body was transformed during this period There's still like bits and pieces of like just dead flesh, you know in random spots around like his chest And then his lower legs are still sort of dead and fleshy, but otherwise it looks humanoid You know his face grew in under his other face now You know there weren't like large bone structures, so you know like he doesn't have any hair So you know his face is you know, perfectly smooth. No eyebrows Um where like the nose and ears would be is just like little little doublets, right? Uh, there's I mean he still has eyes um Mouth and lips are getting like sort of shorter and not quite fully there but not gone.

It's not like you know He's got his lips ripped off. It's more just like It kind of reminds me of the dead bogey where he's like got little baby hands but not quite like that Because that's more comical but it's similar to that where it's new. It's small. It doesn't quite fit in but it's there and it's it's humanoid But then there's just certain parts of him that you know it didn't regrow like there's a piece on his you know Like on his belly that's still sort of dead flesh and uh dr David went up to it instead of like poked and prodded and like probably peeled a little bit of it back and underneath the peeled back was not You know humanoid flesh.

It was just more of the nasty, ghoulified corpse Okay, fascinating So yeah an amount of pure amount of time goes by but as far as you guys can tell Keith is mostly normal What do you guys do during the journal? Is it just quiet fascination absorbing all this information? I think midge is continuing to ask questions about the research. I think she is really interested to know like So is he she's her line of thinking is like is he still gonna be a ghoul when he wakes up or like as anything she like Because I think midge definitely is going like huh this is interesting like I wonder how this could be applied to maybe other ghouls or maybe more specifically midge ghouls Um, so she wants to know like hey is this guy still immortal like if this guy had a brain Would it still be attacked in some capacity?

Uh sure. Yeah, let's roll another medicine check This one's gonna be a little bit harder because it's going less into the biology and more into the like I guess the brain part is still biology but it's a different kind of biology. So it's a little bit tougher. Um, yeah Roll me basically.

Yeah, exactly. Roll me that check Medicine. Okay rolling which you are really good at by the way Okay, so Four successes a threat and then another critical hit so she sees the face of God in this work and she she begins To puzzle together the the shape of the universe. I think in every episode of tide fall and then fallout I don't think we've ever had two back-to-back quits like this so midges apparently a You know medical genius right?

Anyone was gonna discover the secret of human life. It was gonna be midge right So you're talking to this guy and you're trying to figure out more about the again the inner workings of this right and I think you're a man Yeah, so when when discussing this I think he actually pulls out a scalpel and sort of goes to one of midges like arms and asks you Are you okay with me? Uh, well cutting into see what's going on beneath and she kind of like rolls up her sleeves like hell. Yeah Maybe that he like he asked for your assistant to like help with you know, he's like essentially using like a nurse even though you're at this point Probably better than him at this.

Oh, okay It's like asking you to hand over this this thing or that thing I don't know anything about medical devices because I'm at computer not a medical nerd But they you know they asked for you know, scalp holes and whatever else that's the only medical thing I know Yeah, so he he cuts away at probably like a bit of the like fleshy bits on one of the arms, right? and he cuts and it it bleeds and it's it seems normal and then he looks at you and you give him a nodding advance and then he you know cuts a little bit deeper and beneath that initial layer of skin when you get down to where the muscles would be Uh, it it goes much easier normally, you know, there's that initial resistance from the skin and then there's again The muscles and then you know, obviously, you know deeper down to the bone When he cuts in there's that initial resistance and then it becomes much smoother and as you cut and as you get inside You see that the internals of this thing is still uh much more Uh, gully is the best way I could describe it. So it's there. There isn't really a hard bone structure No, there's something that keeps them upright, right?

They've got you know, but it's a lot of muscles and not necessarily like it's very gooey less organs and more just like a general Regidity, right? Yeah, and as it cuts into it, you see that the inside of this creature looks closer to a ghoul than to a human cool Uh, and you sort of understand that and I think he is very Uh hopeful that more of these injections will convert things but you know with that critical success, you know that Creating skin and creating a heart and brains and lungs are two drastically different things and people don't really know exactly how ghouls work They know that you know, they live and they survive and a ghoul like you is pretty much a humanism dead Flashing outside a little bit of minor radiation damage to the inside But as they become more and more feral just the body parts just start to go and it's dead and they don't necessarily need to eat Because they don't need to you know, some system calories and resources. They just they just sort of Exist right and you know that there's no way whatever whatever those ingredients were that made that you know Bound together dead flesh to create this skin-like surface. It's definitely not something that is going to Uh Create again a heart a brain all those things.

So you know that while It seems like he's turning into a human this thing is almost definitely not a human now Who you know who knows what else could happen, but it's still very much not normal Gotcha and probably half an hour an hour of this goes by and I think he's ready for Another injection. I think he like pulls out another one and is ready to go again And at this one Keith is still out the entire time is there anything else you want to do during this time Or are you just helping with the various procedures and testing and all that that he's doing on it? I think midge is uh, so I think he's like kind of gone over general stuff and and been you know gotten into a lot of detail I think midge is like ferret it ferriting around and like she's writing in her notebook. I think she's copying the formula Like I think she's kind of like trying her best to like recreate it as closely as possible Okay, just in case she's just taking taking good notes Okay, sounds good.

So he pulls out one final uh so rin she's probably got a couple more in his you know Tested with he pulls out one last when he looks he looks at it looks at Keith Does that little you know doctor square where they shoot a little bit of the liquid out of this wrench to make sure it's good to go And then he instead this time goes to the other side of Keith down to his foot and he injects it directly into the you know The base of his foot to you know do this theory final injection and I'm going to use a gm story point to make this a bit more interesting We're gonna do once more a resilience check and then a Will part check to first the test of the body then the test with the mind So since he has been healed a bit he sort of doesn't have the like the extreme before difficulty But I'm upgrading one of those purples so we will see what happens with the first one That is three failures. No successes. Correct And then the next one is going to be the resilience check or the resilience that will part check And that is going to be a bit more difficult because of the previous role Man Wow even two greens versus five purples. He still he didn't succeed, but he also didn't fail.

So he net zero is a failure So he got zero failures zero successes and two disadvantage So I think with this injection once again, you guys see this uh injection go through this liquid goes through the legs Or it goes through one of the legs. It's not they're not connected obviously So it's one of the legs. Yeah, and you see this liquid sort of you know Go through the body up into the you know the knee and then upwards But then once he gets past that you can't really see it going through the body because you know the skin itself is not near as Translucent because it's not you know dead and falling off right and uh at the end of this he uh Keith sort of moves a little bit, but he's still out He's still tied up, but he's like starting to have a little bit of you know of movement and the doctor like looks at it And like looking at the legs like hmm. I wonder Why did that work and he's looking very frustrated the fact that this one just didn't seem to work for whatever reason right?

I think he looks over at uh Selly and she's like hey selly hit him a little bit see if it see if he moves. Yeah, all right Just yeah, just punch him on the arm or something All right, so I think selly rolls over and just like pulls his talon arm in so it's just flat like the gun hasn't popped out It just gives him a whack Okay, with like more squishing noises. I'm sure uh really me Romingo athletics check just to see there's no difficult end to squeeze how well like how Okay, how squishy how squish uh so you only have one success in three advantage So you give him you give him a whack But you don't go too hard because you're afraid of either you know, you're you're a big strong robot You don't want to break this thing in the middle of their experiments, right? And you hit it it's sort of like squishes a bit and I think Maybe you notice it the others don't but there's like a little indent of uh where you're gun You see a little bit of indent of your gun on his arm where you hit him and A body doesn't do that normally Um, and then like after a few seconds it like yeah normally after a few seconds, it's sort of like depresses back out Um, but it didn't seem didn't seem he's like so he's like sort of moving around but he's not waking up But he's also not you know, he's not eating anyone Yeah, he's not trying he's not yet.

He's not freaking out yet, but again He's so kind of he's still knocked out from earlier and I think it this the doctor's gets frustrated and he's like Okay, well, we'll try another any pulls out another syringe and goes to the other leg this time And does another injection This time it's gonna be another one of those rolls So we do that And that was uh wow three versus five he is a resilient bastard is what to say Uh, because once again, it was three greens versus five purples and he succeeded one success versus one disadvantage so A little bit of his uh, his right leg this time starts to solidify his left leg still kind of stays where it's at But it solidifies a bit so again we go through this process of the Uh, what am I trying to say that the skin and flesh sort of falling off and then squishing bits, you know sort of growing out from it Uh, and then we're gonna roll a willpower check If roll 20 will roll the dice It's pausing for dramatic effect. Yeah Uh So uh, and yeah while while we're waiting for this you just see more of this again Flesh bits falling off, you know, and like especially the toes are really weird and nutty because the toes fall off But then there's like these little like little like points, right? They're not bones such as these little points of like where toes would go And I can only vamp for so long while waiting for the stupid roll to go Mitch Does he have any more I think midge is kind of like looking over how many more syruentes does he have like on him or like visible? um Let me roll That guy is on not roll 20 to see So he's got Another two and one of them is that like really really big one.

Oh Uh Mitch uh Is so is it like in his his pocket? Uh, so no he's on there's a desk and on the desk There's like this drawer that he opened up that had a bunch of them and he initially pulled one out close the drawer Pulled second on close it up, but now he's starting a frustre. He's just the doors open He pulled all them out put them on the desk grabbed one walked over injected and there's still two more on the side of the table Cool, uh, may just gonna go and sit casually on the desk and like on top over like just next to those Well, yeah next to the They're not stabbing you but you're close to Hiding them from view and she's gonna maybe try and take one take as in Okay That would be advised. I'm guessing Potentially yeah squishing sounds uncomfortable squishing does sound uncomfortable So remember to sponge out that Yeah, okay, and I think what we're gonna do is uh dr.

Dava is like so at this point just like Staring at this fleshy bit that you know he was injected with it starting to heal and you know The doctor is just sort of like looking and like sighing in for like like it's just noises right? They're like they're happy they're sad they're angry frustrated and then I think from there we're going to go to break So we'll be right back and then we will continue on with the story of Keith the ghoul Tell me the ghoul Stay tuned Okay So last thing we saw was dr. Dava, you know injecting the stuff freaking out about it while all mench was sort of in the corner by the other ones And in the break we were able to get our dice rolling system working and Keith did not roll so well on his sanity check there Burn him up. So So What that means is he he was asleep and then I think after a minute or so of this His now his right foot did heal a bit right, you know He rolled well on that check so really all of him is now fleshy in some way except for his left foot up to probably his just under his knee Right Um, but then he starts to like shake a bit and like he opened up his eyes and he's looking around the room What is your guys's immediate reaction because when that happens the doctor did something but I'm curious about you guys first I think midge like sees this from across the room and like jumps up like in shock like holy shit Uh Because I don't think she was expecting him to wake up quite so soon or maybe at all.

I don't know right Uncharted territory Okay, and uh, sully I think uh Cell is watching, you know, he's back to me Hell of a back's questions, uh, but one of his hands has or I guess claws right there as a Retreat it back and he's got the laser barrel pointed out one of them, you know, just in case Yeah, doesn't hurt. Okay cool so Uh, the doctor like cries like yes, yes, it worked. It worked. This is this incredible.

Um only well one foot left Um, and I think he turns around and approaches you midge with the two other syringes Um, you were gonna try to steal one of them. Let's uh, let's do that check now. So Is I mean is thievery a thing in this? I play too many damn games.

Now we forget what's what uh Scaldugger he is scaldugger. He is the check Uh, it'll be a skullduggery check. I need to check this guy's perception to see How if he's wearing glasses, that's gonna be a problem. So right?

I mean yeah that you black dice, right? I mean, it would be a black dice for her. Yeah. Um, so let's go to humans I got a one scaldugger.

I'll call him that Okay, so you have a one. Okay. Nice. Oh, not one green but like one rank That's the right negative one.

Okay. Uh, I have it set up on my end. He's got a cunning of three Oh, well, okay. Actually me too, but all right.

So let's roll this And you have three story points at any point you want to use one of those. We'll see how we go. I think this goes Okay, so you got And nothing zero successes zero advantage zero disadvantage Uh zero failures as always if you want to you can use a story point to buy a single success Otherwise he's going to see now. It's not like it's a bad figure.

It's not like you're like scrambling It's just like one of those like it'd be a smaller failure because it was such a close role We uh, let's go ahead and use that story point. We've got three of them at this point. Okay, so let's turn that into a success Okay, so what i'm going to say since you you did not succeed You didn't like you just barely succeeded. I'm going to say that you were unable to hide the giant one So you just took the little one.

Okay, so I think he looks like I thought I okay, whatever and then he grabs the big one Yeah, and then he turns around with this really big syringe that last time he did that like two thirds of this guy's body got converted over He's like this this will be fine. This will finish him up for sure Uh, and he goes over go ahead. I think uh, I think midge sees that and she's like wait, holy shit What if I need that, uh, because I don't think I don't think she wants him to use any more of it on and like waste it on keys So I think she she kind of walks up to him again and she's like oh wait But doctor no wait hold on and she trips and she tries to like knock it out of his hands maybe Okay, I like it and I think she's she just tries to like distract him or like prevent prevent her from further purely for keys benefit of course Yeah, uh, um, you're gonna critical. I get the credit.

Yeah. Yeah, that one. Yeah, so let's call this It was need to be a performance, but that isn't a thing here. Um, I will let you choose I don't think skill-dagger because you're doing more like you're trying to fall and do an actual thing.

Well, maybe Coordination check okay. I got a zero in it. I'll do it because like you were trying to follow the way that works So yeah, do a coordination against his agility. Yeah against his agility.

So we'll do that Okay, okay Okay. Oh, that was that was cool Oh, uh, well No, it's not hold on. Okay, uh, yep. All right.

This should be the correct one. Yeah, that's very different role But actually you didn't do that much worse. No, uh, so you got one success, which is good You got four uh threat or four disadvantage So what does that look like? Is it just a bunch of stress points or is there something else going on here that like is messing with you?

Uh, so I think she Distracts him so like he doesn't uh Like put he doesn't inject Keith anymore So I think she kind of like is walking towards him quickly and she's gonna like kind of trip and distract him Uh, but I think she kind of is is walking towards him. Oh, oh no. No doctor I wanted to talk to you about something and she uh, she trips and she knocks the the large syringe out of his hand Uh, and it falls on the floor. Okay.

Uh, I'm going to roll a general d100 roll Um, I'm always good. Hi is bad. I'm curious what will happen here because you did get four disadvantage here And you succeed. You know, you you knocked out his hand what you did with it uncapped Uh, it's it's a syringe.

It's also old so it may potentially break is the problem Oh, yeah, um, you've got a bunch of success. I would let you like grab it But because you just got the single success and then you have a bunch of threat there's a possibility here It could it could either break or it could inadvertently inject someone. I'm just gonna roll and it's kind of see what happens So what was good? Hi is bad.

That is a 73. Okay, so you trip sort of intent You intentionally trip it then you know part of you you get a little bit too into it, right? You trip fall he drops it and then it hits the ground. I'm just gonna roll a d2 to see if it uh If the thing starts to break or if it inadvertently injects someone else, um So a one is it uh, the syringe gets damaged two, okay, so You do this trip in tumble and you know, you just again a lot of things are happening the syringe falls onto 2 one is you one so you You fall on this thing.

Um So so what do you do? It's not like you maybe have a little bit of it in your system, but not much Uh, what is what is your reaction to this and I think when dr. Davis sees this he just looks up at you and like he just like gets his grin And what is your immediate reaction? I think midge immediately like freezes like like she doesn't want to like inject the or like push the plunger in anymore So like I think she she like freezes, but then she also starts screaming at sully like uh sully sully uh help Do I do?

Oh, I think I think here's what we're gonna do because I know what he wants to do I know that what he wants to do is not what you want to have happen. Yeah, so we're gonna roll initiative Oh, no, yeah, this is going for science. He's he's looking at you with a grin and Okay, so roll me a It would be cool if you're expecting this, but this is definitely not expect. No, so roll me a uh vigilance check Yeah, okay.

I have zero that was yeah, both of your own vigilance Nice And then vigilance is based off of willpower. He's got a will of two He's got a vigilance. Okay. So he's rolling actually the same as sully So we do that Sully we're gonna roll again.

So i'm gonna roll And now you roll Go back check vigilance Seriously, what is this that's a second time of row? This is the epic as roll off There's just like this moment of tension where it's like an old west like standoff 100 because they because they were also faster than you mentioned So there's just like yeah stand off between the doctor and sully and they're both looking at the syringe and looking back to the syringe and the doctors third role fails So uh the initiative is going to be player Doctor So this wasn't even for like anything one. Yeah, so here's a thing This was just pretty Sully won the role sully could do first, but if instead midge wants to go first you guys could do that It's kind of it's up to you. I think Okay, that's kind of what was saying was me just kind of like uh, uh, so sully what is it that sully?

So sully already has one of his laser rifle hands out and he aims at the doctor and he uses hamstrings shot Okay, uh, audience can you say what hamstrings shot? So the verbatim description is once per rounder character may use this talent to perform to range combat check against a non-vehicle target within range of the Weapon if the check is successful have the damage inflicted by the attack before reducing damage by the target So the target is immobilized until the end of its next turn Okay, cool. Do you know So basically what that's normally used for is to like keep them from moving but they could still shoot their gun or take actions Um, so you can do that he won't be able to move but he'll still be able to like because the two of them are basically going to top each other right, uh So does that change anything? So he's still he's an engaged range then he would be like right next to her.

Yes So yeah, the pro You if you want to go that you could but then he could just reach his hand out like he'd go out and then move up and you're not move But just reach his hand out and then now to do that he's going to have to it's not gonna be it's not like a free action He's gonna have to make essentially a role against her because if you don't want it to happen He can't just do it for free because he'd be too initiative, uh But that will keep him from getting away and it also again will do start doing some damage to him Which is important because right things may be getting dicey because there's also a pissed off ghoul on a table Right, I guess I should also place uh because that could happen at some point. Oh, Keith would never betray us. Oh, surely Keith They're your friend. Uh my best friend.

He definitely didn't kidnap from his friends and family Oh, he put himself in those chains. We just picked them up after you absolutely He's so excited about the science science Okay, so you're doing hamstring shot and see I say try it Yeah, why not maybe he'll cry and stop what he's doing? Okay, so I'm trying to remember what is it the weapon role I need to do or the ranged heavy role Um, let me do you have a page on hamstring? Uh 73 is the page number Um, so yeah, you would essentially make an attack role against them if the attack is successful you just have damage So you would do it's going to be a difficulty one purple so we're not cleared on my end one purple So it's fairly easy shot, but you're gonna do half damage So now you can use the weapon like a tack rule thing And uh, see that's the dice by the weapon spot, right?

Uh, yes Yeah, the dying in the middle of the like critical and encumbrance buttons. All right, here we go Okay, so man the dreaded double X is that is a failure. I'm not drunk Yeah, by the way, uh, Do you did you guys use this right when at some point? Device test one of you in your uh player sheet hit the use right button or wait?

Is it two one for you guys? Oh, yeah, because we had three when you upgraded that purple I think something got out of sync. Let me just fix my end. Okay, sorry about that I'll see if you want to if you want to again use a story point you could to buy a success here if you Yeah, it's up to you.

No, let's do it. Okay, make it interesting Okay, so you buy success you hit with your weapon. Oh, what is the damage on it? Let's see.

Let's flip back to it. Um, it is Trying to oh, I didn't put a modifier. You just might um damage eight eight damage. Okay, and the damage is cut in half because of that Right, so you shoot him.

Um, he's he's uh Doesn't have four so that's for sure. This is a not quite what he is. Okay, uh, so he does get a little bit of a singe on him But before damage isn't a whole lot because people naturally have you know two or three brawn But he does take at least a little bit of damage because he's a nerd. Yeah, nerd strikes Okay, so he he takes a little shot.

He's like it's singe But it's more of a like he like falls a bit and like holds his hands over the arm He's like wow And uh, he's yeah, he's like looking back and forth to interview with like this pain But there's this this moment of you know potentially like he still is eyeing that syringe. Uh, do you have another action you want to do? So I'm gonna turn if you move or now because I have another like I can't do a second attack or can I? It's been a long Jeff We haven't got any combat in a long time.

I do not think it's a second attack on the turn you can Know you get you get like an action that I think I'm an over to so it's like yeah, go ahead right point of point of order Keith Won't attack us first right or at least historically has not attacked the robot and the other ghoul So you guys essentially well, okay, you kind of so when you walked into camp, right? You were sort of peaceful and you guided him out. Yeah, and then you captured him and tied him up So he may see you guys as enemies he may not keep hands on the situation But it could be that if we just as a suggestion if we like caught him loose If we needed to and then just got the fuck out of the way he may be more attracted to the squishy human It is it is possible. Yes.

Okay. I did look it up You get on your turn one action one maneuver and you can spend stress to take an extra maneuver So maneuver will be aiming your gun moving a range band opening a door getting out an item It's any other thing you would do besides taking your action So conceivably so like could move spend a stress and remove midge out of the way yes, um I'd be worried about the Give it two options. You can spend spend your first maneuver to like move into position with him Right, right and then you've got two options. You'd have to spend I think it's too stressed to do it You spend too stressed to either a throw her out of the way Or be you move you and her but that's gonna require a check because carrying someone You don't have to do it check to make sure you've got you know the speed of maneuverability to grab her move and keep moving As you go, right?

She's sort of like locked in for right in that syringe is currently in her It's currently in her. Yes, and it's it's really you can pull it out But that's not again That's not a simple thing because you don't want to inadvertently in a room with it don't have hands Right, so I think he's just gonna position himself in the way, but he's got you know because he's taller I feel like the laser pistol bear or laser rifle barrel is at head range for the doc like don't Okay, try it and then do you do anything else and be like throw her out of the way or you just try to stay there because it's like The threat of force. I'm hoping will deter after I've shot you once I'll do I'm scared of selling so He switches from the street tough to try and make it and he's got the soldier icon on the screen nice Roll me a coercion check and it's going to be against his willpower which Is there it is. Sorry neither is my coercion All right, um just because hold up but for them because I uh, I got two store points and I want to share the story points I'm gonna go ahead and use the story point to uh, good.

Did that not do anything? It didn't Okay, well, I moved over there. Uh, I use the story point to uh upgrade this check Perfect. So boom boom.

Okay. Go for it. Stop for Dramatic pause. Did it break again?

That would be unfortunate too many people at night. Yeah, uh, try one more time Okay, so that is not working and that is a pain in the ass So I am going to go and I'm gonna fix it real quick. Uh, so real quick during all of this I want midge to sort of tell me the thought process going on in your head right now. Okay, so the The first thought is panic.

Uh, so I think midge is just like Hearing sirens in her ears like uh real bad because I think she has some idea of like the potential of this serum And she's definitely like, uh, wow, holy shit like this could change everything like this has so many potential uses Uh, but I think the other half of that is uh, holy shit. Uh, I don't want to be a dumb brain zombie. Uh, I've made it this long Like, uh, definitely Don't want my brain to like melt out my ears or like go permanently insane or like uh Like all of my flesh to fall off and like turn into something even worse Uh, so yeah lots of I think panic and uh immediate bad vibes Uh, so I definitely don't think she wants any more of the serum is anything like happening At this point. So you there was a little bit that got In you like like there's like again with a syringe just a little bit this sort of like sticks out and you know sort of going and any activation of the formula x I think it's something as simple as the You you just feel kind of funky, right?

It's like if you wait if you wake up in the morning and it's not like you feel sick But it's like you wake up in the morning. You just feel kind of off, right? And you've got this like centralized like something is just feeling strange and it's like you're fine for now But if any of this gets into me, something's really gonna start changing. Uh, and you need to you need to handle the situation Yeah, uh, midge just kind of like panics and shouts to sally and she's like I like being immortal I like being not dead like I'm technically dead, but she just kind of babbles on for a second like But like I want to keep being not technically dead Right that makes no sense to me Okay as she just like Uh And I think she just kind of like nods to to sally like and like like slowly moves her arm out to like uh Like just like show like sally like and put like points to the syringe like fix it Oh Not dead.

Uh, don't like it. Uh, please fix not a fan Do not like so you guys are having this like quick sidebar while sally is like aiming this gun at this dr Deva uh roll me that uh coercion jack coercion Well, I tried nope it worked Well, so are you tried. Uh, oh, uh, so that's two failures. So he's doctor is intense.

He apparently Uh, so he just he just looks at you and shakes his head. Oh, no, and then he uh I think yeah, he he like lurches towards midge He sort of like falls down a bit because his leg is shot and he's having hard difficulties moving But he moves to her image and tries to essentially grapple with her to like grab this syringe and plunge it into you, right? And uh, I'm gonna have you guys roll, um in a posed athletics check so it'd be him rolling versus rolling So first off, uh, there's gonna be no purple dice just you roll what suits you get an owl roll for him Okay, and yeah, this is his action to try to inject you. Okay So I got one success for the doctor Your athletics is pretty good.

That's yeah Uh, okay, just in pretty good shape for like a 238 year old Yeah, it does immortality that for you, huh? Yeah, great cardio because she probably doesn't have a beating heart question mark Yeah questions for another day. Yeah, what what are cardio workouts when you don't have a heart for you in the audience? Goals, do they have a heart?

What does that mean? Okay, so you got uh one success into advantage and he gets no Three successes into advantage. So he like he looks at Sully and he just like shicks head and it's like no, I need to do this and he like goes towards her Um just for clarity sake. He has he was shot.

I'm gonna roll at black dice Just to see that's gonna move from this because he should have black eyes. I didn't even think about that Right. I don't think it matters but it's I'm taking one advantage So it's three successes versus one success. He still wins Um, but I wanted I want to double check because I would change the potential humor He like moves towards you trips a little bit like it stands up and like he's got this like pain in his left leg And he like looks up to you and like he's like four science.

Yeah, he's like I have to And he grabs on to her and you guys are struggling and this You know older man just there's some And I think I think it's kind of like When a mom has their kid trapped on her car and she gets this like superhuman strength It's like that but it's for science like I have to do this It's it's my life's working. He like grabs you and he's he's surprisingly strong and you're you're strong But you're not like the strongest one out there, but you're fairly athletic for your build right? But he's just raw luck and science and it's essentially it's like nerve-riging and embodied right and he pushes this syringe into you So you need to make a couple checks for me. Uh, uh, you're going to make a resilience check first thing Against science not looking forward to that.

Uh, and you do have you do have two story points And if there was ever a time to story point now is that time? Okay rolling that resilience Uh, so that's a failure and to threat Yep, okay. That's a failure to threat And then the next thing you're gonna roll it is a it's not just a willpower check It's something else and I need to reopen those notes. It is a discipline check.

Okay And let's make this one Uh, difficulty three. Okay, roll that up Okay, so that is a yeah net net zero if you wanted to buy a success you could restore a point Uh, yeah, zero success is zero failures. Uh one disadvantage I'm gonna use that story point. Okay, so we're back over to two of me one on you guys Okay, so this this stuff is injected into you into your gut, right?

Do not like and there is and like you sort of felt queasy before again. It was like weird like morning like grossness Uh, I believe I've had a hangover or two in my life. Yeah, it's like it's like that hangover is much more heady Where's this is like like gut like yes? Um, when this stuff gets into Right you suddenly get this immense pain and almost like burning as something is like spreading throughout your body Okay, and you you feel this and something and again, this was this was the big one right?

What he had yeah, so the big syringe goes into you and you just feel this like presence inside of you And it's just essentially growing and spreading throughout you. Uh, it is Uh, probably the most pain you've had since becoming a ghoul you became a ghoul when the bombs dropped is that correct? Yeah, I think so. Okay, so this is probably the most pain since whatever radiation sickness caused that whether you were you know Like and even that is in much slower process as far as I know It's not like a nuke drop and you came out unscathed when I'm but a ghoul It's more of a over time.

You became gofied because you were just so radiated Uh, this is it's all of it's that whatever a month six months long period It's all like burst into one giant like burst of you know energy failures like it's all very very quickly happening Okay, so you failed the body check and then you succeed on the dis one check. Okay, perfect. So failure on the resilience check Um means you you suddenly there's this like energy within you and you feel the your cells and you may or may not know what cells are You're a doctor But I don't know if doctors this will know what cells are but you feel the pieces of you trying to bind to each other to create Skin or bodily it tries to create something but there is something different about your biology compared to the pharogol and things just don't connect properly and After a few moments like it's it's just extremely extreme extreme pain and it's spreading throughout your body You know going up and down, you know your arms your legs and then eventually it comes up to your head and when it reaches your head It's just like it's the worst microphone you've ever had in your entire life It's just like and you probably haven't had a migraine since becoming a ghoul. So this is a old old distant memory Okay So you get this like very very very focused like and it's just like it's like growing and it was the worst pain you probably ever had Or in like the first minute and then it just becomes worse and worse and worse It's like if you've ever done like the one chip challenge or like one of those like super super spicy foods where it seems bad And then it just gets worse.

Yeah, it works and worse, but it's like it's internal So there's nothing you can do about it. It's not like it's in your mouth or you can like again drink some milk It's like inside of you at your core. It's like your brain. You're like your forearms.

You're gut. It's like everywhere. Okay, and then Um you effectively your entire turn is just reacting to this This process because you're essentially stunned for this as this you know, you're just your body is changing go undergoing extreme extreme change Okay The next round as this transact is this is occurring do uh you want to go or do you want to let Sully go? I'm not gonna go.

Okay, that's what I kind of figured but I want to double check So this guy injected midge and she just spends her entire time just like and from Sully's one of you You just see her like looking at what she's just like looking at her body like looking at things that you can't see Like you can see a little bit of it because her skin isn't quite as dead as their circles It's not as much but she's like looking at because she can feel like going through her and she's looking at it But she's almost looking at nothing but she's like utter horror on her face. What do you do? Well, I think you know I'm on the avatar. It's you know, it's the grizzled soldier avatar I just see like the teeth bite down on cigar and he aims his gun at the doctor Which I'm sure is prone because he fell over yeah, and I go for science and then uh he shoots It takes the opportunity to aim which gives accurate one.

Yep. Wow So I will add that one in um and one note if you are shooting when you're engaged It goes it turns out to a purple suit basically it's a little difficult because you're aiming up close But again, you're aiming to sort of kind of wrap that right um real quick because we have to hop around you can do this But I'm gonna roll a d100 to see what happens with Keith Um you wanna go here? Yeah, the key is still here. So you want a low number here?

That's a 94 Oh, okay, so and I think it's not something going to happen immediately But you and maybe you're like doing this little monologue and then you hear um the cracking of chains across the room Maybe like out of the corner of the corner of your eye, but you're a robot Um at the corner at the edge of your sensors you hear these these chains breaking and you see Uh, Keith's slowly starting to break free from the chains on his table And then you aim your gun and this bear and does your gun have any sort of like burst fire? I forget no it's No Okay, so But you can do a wheelchair laser rifle. That's what you can do. That's a difficulty to the check Right, but i'm gonna get one side not both Oh, yeah, okay, so you're not gonna like go okay for a lot of one.

Well, not for a lot of but shoot both You just shoot in one okay cool in his head his head What i'm gonna do since you're so close and he's on the ground um him in the ground he goes to blue dice And then because he's essentially helpful so i'm getting another blue dice you've got a bunch of dice You've got a bunch of extra dice here just because it's a bunch of little blue dice which aren't super helpful, but they may have a mana so He says like uh for science and then here's the change cracking and his sensors were like You're gonna need to meet chills on so could i persuade you jeff that at last many switches back to the claw and he's gonna grab and toss the doctor at keef Uh, yeah, why not i'll let you do that. Um, yeah, improvise weapon. So yeah, let's uh, it'll be an athletic check instead. Okay, um, so he's got a He's got a brawn of three, but you're starting to have all those blue dice because instead of aiming to Aim to your gun you're going to like you're like you're hovering over him Yeah, so you still worry blue dice it just uh a little bit more difficult because you're throwing him at a certain location But it works it keeps things distracted.

All right, so uh, roll that up. I've got it up on my end Oh damn Three successes three advantage no failures no disadvantage. So yeah, very the scene you get full control So he hears the change cracking going oh shit, so at last minute, Sully's like you're gonna you know his uh, Soul dramators are good. I need to meet you also so he switches back to his talons grabs the doctor kind of like flips him around in the air like a lasso and tosses it right at keef and uh Yeah, you grab him where he's right in the chest of keef.

Yeah, he's he's lands on the chest of keef And I think right at that moment is when Uh the the last chain like falls and there's it's like you hear a couple chains happen But then there's that like that final like sound of like like change like do do do as it like falls to the ground and like You know hits like round and there's you know crack crackle boom because it hits his heavy chain is broken and then uh the doc the doctor screams like as uh, well I will real quick no he doesn't really show up. He's just gonna he's just gonna come out um because he's an enemy Uh, so we'll do what see An enemy in pc. Well, he's an NPC. He's not one of you guys.

Um, because again, I guess He's your friend. Yeah, so I'm choosing to have him go next basically His enemy he's not one of you guys. So uh keef is gonna go and keef just to start Never betrays us keef just starts tearing at this guy. He was tied up by him Well, he's tied up but you guys but This is the guy that I'm injecting him with as as you know mid know knows this shit's painful.

So Keith is angry Uh, so he's going to roll A clause attack against him so that is going to be Ba ba ba for all one so it's going to be a yellow and two greens versus Two purple and boom Please work. Let's do good game It's just the final thing. It's seven fight music exactly. Yeah Wait, not that for you.

Yeah. Yeah, that part's gonna wait. Um, why oh why This is API hate me. Um, okay.

Can one of you guys Roll me a braw check. Yep Ouch, maybe I can't I don't know. Can I reach my mouse? Uh, okay Okay, so here's what I'm gonna insert.

I'm gonna reset that again. Oh, it worked. There we go. Okay Well, that's a great role.

It added what added a bunch of stuff on it. Um, no, no, it's a great role exactly as it is Uh, okay That wasn't cool So can Why did it do that? Okay reset that Roll one two three one two three And roll there we go. Okay.

So wow So actually kyth failed to claw at this guy So I think what happens is you throw the doctor over and then kyth goes to claw at him But it's like weird and awkward and I think at the force of your throw He just like falls over on the other side of the table falls to the side of kyth And then kyth jumps off the table or actually no he jumps to his feet So he's standing on top of the table and then he looks around the room, uh to everyone And he looks at the doctor and then he looks to the two of you guys and I want Uh midge to roll me a charm check Absolutely, I'm giving you a black dice because you are in a state of shock Uh, but yeah, roll me up that charm check. Uh, yeah, I will charm the shit out of kyth Uh kyth one second. Oh, hold up. I need to give you purple dice, huh?

No, okay. Now you can roll it All right. Oh fuck. I don't have free many social skills.

Do I okay? Let's try this Yikes. Oh man. That is unfortunate.

Yep. Okay. So that is a failure. So I think he looks down to the doctor And the doctor just like on the ground like crying and then he looks over to the robot Um actually, yeah, let's Yeah, let's make let's make it a roll off.

Let's do it that way. That's a fun way to do it. So it's only roll a charm check Okay. Oh, yeah, so to turn the robot.

Okay And now I'm gonna have this guy roll a charm check and he also is not super charmful one two Oh, you shouldn't have had that black guy, but it didn't roll anything so it was there blank it's it's no nothing Um Actually the doctor the doctor gets a success So I think he looks around the room and then he sees the big robot man And he sees you as like the biggest challenge on the room and he jumps at you and he just like He like runs at you and he's at you essentially. I think this kind of snaps me out of it a little bit and then she's like No, Keith. I mean, soly so Uh, it is your turn and you still have this at all times immediate extreme pain. Okay.

It is Everfully it's not growing but it's become this like constant Stained still at if you were to go on a pain skill like one to ten. This is like a 12 at all times Okay, yeah, so this would also be a bad thing to have for eternity as well. I think it's correct But there is there is there is one other thing as you're like at yourself and like looking at your hands and your arms You're realizing that your your hands are starting to like emanate a little bit of color. They're starting to glow a bit Uh, oh, yeah As far as you know from your medical background, there has never been a Non-feral glowing one but that appears to be what's happening right now.

You are glowing but you still have your mind to you Uh, romy just a general knowledge check. I'm gonna have you Uh, let me it'll be a difficulty too. So romy knowledge check. I want to see if you know this piece of information.

Okay, um What I will say it's not three advantage. I'll give you a success to advantage Uh, you now know why you've never met a non-feral glowing one because this level of pain will turn anyone crazy within a week Great So it is your turn. What do you do now? I'm going to give you the glowing template.

Uh, so For that not players boom boom. So now what that means is your mean radiation You've got a bonus you're straight and won't threshold and whatever you attack something you radiate them essentially. Yeah Cool. Also because you're a ghoul you've got an ability where you can spend a story point and you can heal equal to your attack So you can effectively once per day use a story point and then heal yourself for a free attack Okay, uh Cool.

So I think the first thing that may just gonna do Uh is she is going to I think she's so she's looking at uh sully and Keith But I don't think she's particularly worried about sully long term because being a robot. Yeah, he's fine Um I mean she's probably more sad about keith, but I think she turns to the doctor And I think who is you know lying in a pathetic heap Uh, and I think she like runs to tackle him like you son of a bitch. How dare you You have betrayed the science that we definitely had no part in kidnapping any Creatures who definitely consented to the whole idea, but we're gonna put that aside because she just tackles him and uh, definitely like Are you like calling out? Yeah, it just holds him and is just calling at him and like irradiating the shit out of him Okay, cool.

Uh, roll me just a general braw check And it would be great, but like yeah, what are you gonna do exactly? Yeah, and i'm gonna give you blue dice because he's on the ground Um, and also I am a giant. Yeah, you're now blowing exactly. Yeah Yes, i'm not giant, but Man, that is a net zero.

That's zero. What you could buy a story point. I can use a story point Yes, i'm using our last story point because okay, that is ridiculous. I am glowing dammit I do something So, uh, what is your uh, bran?

It is pulling up this second table to To okay. Um, so you aren't super strong Um, but you are yeah, you're you're reading so basically essentially any damage you do you can do the damage of the radiation damage Effectively double your damage for this type of attack double. Um, yeah, exactly Well, it's damage radiation damage which for someone like him it's this kind of damage. So um, brawling I think it does it's either your bran or it's your bran plus one.

I'm gonna say it's your bran plus one So you like claw this guy squeeze him tight squeeze him for yeah three points of damage Um, but he resists a little bit of that but then the radiation damage ignores all of his bran rating So he he he gets a little bit of a scratch but much more of a you just start to like burn him with your radiation um And yeah, he he's like immediately just starts to like wimper and like and he's like like on the ground like please don't I just wanted to See what happened and and look at you. You're you're you're glowing and he's like it's sort of a joke But also sort of be like oh look what happened um And uh, that is man. We sort of lost an issue, huh? Okay, let's uh, let's make it a new round because it was Yeah, yeah, so a new round um if you want to go again You could take essentially the last and the first one if you want to go all out on this guy Yeah, go all out murder the Um, what'd you do?

Uh, I think she like punches him in the face like three more times Okay, like she's just like wailing on him like like an elementary school bully Okay, uh what I'll let you do if you want either a you can like Aim and get a higher chance to hit him or you can just attack multiple times and I'll let you it'll increase the difficulty But if you succeed you can do damage multiple times. I'm gonna this is not a uh an aimed attack I think it's definitely just wailing at him. Okay, so it's gonna increase the ability from two to three But if you succeed you're gonna really talk them up. That's the goal You get to roll whenever yep, okay, roll again.

Yep, bro. Oh, I see him Okay, beat the shit out of that doctor So you do you do take some stress, but at this point, uh, you're just running on rage at this point So it's not that big deal. Yeah, but you do it's so it's you hit him twice Um you get uh so just three damage base, but then plus one because you got an extra success there So it's four damage twice Um, and each one's also doing four radiation damage to him. Okay, because essentially you're essentially your damage is though Because you're yeah, because I think it's let me check with going to get excited.

Is it your or any blister stuff? Oh, what is your willpower? Oh, um good question. It is Two two okay, so it's not double damage.

It's gonna add to all of your attacks basically you do two rad damage per attack So you're gonna do it's a four damage hit and then two damage radiation and another four damage hit and then another two damage radiation Okay, so the radiation is going to go through all of us, you know, brawn because it's radiation damage Um as one does when you're already a radio player each of those reduced minus So this dude is very battered and beaten and like he just looks sickly like he you're beating him But he looks like he's dying mostly due to radiation and as a ghoul with a lot of experience with radiation This guy he's pretty much on death's door, but just from being sick. He's like coffee Just stop. I tried. I just wanted help and yeah, he's like coughing up blood and like yeah He's just he's sickly and he's doing bad It is NPC's turn so i'm gonna have the ghoul attack mr.

Sully So I think he's gonna do the exact same thing against you. He's just gonna claw at you a couple times. So Uh, he is going to do Uh, he's got one yellow one green versus three purple and i'm gonna upgrade it because you guys need some story points Uh back so there you go. Enjoy the story point Uh And we'll upgrade that and roll so that was one six wow in three purples rolled no Okay, so he hits you and then force stress so the four or the fourth threat is going to uh, Whatever you do next to this thing he essentially has to go like a lot in rage rage out at you and he hits you he hits you for uh one two three Uh four points of damage before you're brawn So does anything damage you?

I don't know what i'm saying. You're so sorry my soak is five your soak is five Okay, so he goes all out claws at you does Oh, sorry. No, it's not it's sorry. It's six damage.

You take one point of damage Sorry, I looked at the wrong thing that he's got actual claws claws instead of just fists like midge Right, uh, so he claws at you. He does a point of damage after your soak Um, this guy's not glowing so you don't take any radiation penalties, uh, but uh when he does this He like has to go like all out rage and like he trips himself. He effectively is gonna give you a blue dice whatever you do next to him Cool And that is his turn Uh, on the doctor's turn. I think he's just gonna run Yeah, he's just in pain and he's he's running.

Uh, what I will let you do It's not a rule in genesis, but it's a fun rule from dnd if you want to take an opportunity attack because he like balls Like runs out of there. I will let you do that because he's like in your clutches essential. I actually know you grabbed him No, he's got he's got a break free nevermind. He can't run because you grabbing him and clawing him like you're everyone in clawed at the other right Or how are you how are you actually hitting him?

I guess it's my question Mitch oh, uh with a fist See what you were just punching. Okay. Just punch. So yeah, if you were just punching him Yeah, he he goes to run away when he does that.

I will let you make another brawl attack against him as an afternoon attack because he's he's Very sickly and he's not running cleanly. He's just running. Yeah, you know all out. Uh, yes.

We'll do that Bam. So for can I like kick him instead? Yeah, sure. Yeah, it's never ever makes sense.

Yeah, just to trip him on his way out. Yep. Makes sense What is that still brawl? Yeah, yeah, okay.

Okay. Oh, so yeah, he tried to kick him and I think he's just too like spry and he's like, uh And he's just scared and he runs and he I think he gets to the door and he opens the door and he's like looking back at you guys And that is his turn. Uh, I think we're gonna do one more turn and then we're gonna take a break So uh, sully you're up. So his creature is on you, but the doctor is escaping.

What do you do? So he thought that monster doctor He's on the ground, right? Uh, yeah, the the cool actually yeah, he's on the ground. I throw Keith at the doctor Oh, I love it.

I love you throwing things. Oh, yeah, you definitely can do that. All right. Let's do it.

Let's see what happens I will say it is a slightly because you're throwing it's a decent ways away. I'm gonna give you a black guy's because that's kind of awkward But because he's on the ground you saw that blue dice, right? And I'm gonna aim Keith Throw that cool. I love the idea of you picking up Keith and doing that like holding it up to the eye and be like, uh, okay Good.

Also, that'll give you another blue dice. Cool. Uh, so I've got a set of mine if you want to roll it And that's a athletic check I athletics unless there's something else that you think makes more sense. Um, dude, that are brawl.

Hey, I'll let you roll either one What would you say ranged heavy? I know he's not that heavy. Damn it Also not aerodynamic enough. That's fair.

Uh, so right brawl. I think uh, yeah, either I thought I'd make some more sense. You want to do? Yeah, I'm a brawl brawl seems meteor.

That's like a bar fight move. Right Look at there. Nice. Okay.

Um, so let's say You will do, uh How about this? What's the brawn of the ghoul plus one? Isn't that the damage you do? Um, the ghouls furlable romar brawn of three plus one to make sure that's okay.

So you do four damage to him. Uh, so he takes He only takes a point of damage, but he's already very close to death. Uh, so yeah, and I think that that it also trips him up. So he falls on the ground with this ghoul on top of him Who I'm sure is not very happy about anything right now.

Yeah, no, this ghoul has been, you know, just people just keep an app. Uh, yeah, I think And I think I think well, this final shot will be like we like see Sully do that aim shot and then he throws it and then the camera follows Keith as he just like lands on the doctor and pins him to the ground and then he's just like Growling as we cut to black and we will be right back to see uh, the outcome of this uh, doctor room brawl. Good. So Look up Camera, you know fades back in on this ghoul landing on top of doctor, uh, data Uh, and that essentially is the end of the round.

So one of you guys can go. What do you do? There's only really one door to this place. Um now there's a window if you guys just want to say bucket and get out the window Uh, but also midge you're in like this like in chitons level of like, yeah, um, you're not taking damage from it yet.

Uh, but it is something That's for sure. Uh, I think midge so it takes a couple of seconds is the Process like changing it all like is it like coming to an end or is it like so like she's like fully transitioned into like a glowing one Fall out, right? But is she like still like in agonizing pain or like What's so what's the deal with like the chemical process and did all of it end up getting like the whole syringe? So he got probably two thirds of it.

Um, there's a lot of there. So he got a good chunk of it in you. Um, and What's the best ever put it it is not getting worse? You're not taking like damage from but you're at this like at all times You're just like feeling it and it it's not even really physical anymore.

It's more like a mental like just like yeah extreme Yeah, but to an absolute extreme and it's there at all times no matter what Uh, so You guys again you could try to leave but you also know that if there's any way to undo this potentially this is the place to do it Yeah, um, also, I'm sure the rest of town is not gonna be super happy with uh with their doctor being potentially killed Not well. I mean, yeah, and the glowing one walking around town is probably not gonna be super Oh, yeah, I mean, yeah glowing there's never been a non-feral glowing one so and yeah, and yeah, on the physical on the physical end Uh, you definitely it's not like your entire body is like glowing bright green yet But it's definitely like on your like hands and then like like anything that's like uh like a surface like your eyes a little bit Your ears a little bit like any any you know orifice is just like where it's like anywhere but this skin's a bit thinner It's just sort of like glowing a light green cool. Uh, all right Uh, so midge is gonna go over it the doctor is dead or dying, right? Uh, he's on death story.

He's not dead Uh cool. She's like he's still he's still struggling as his creatures on top of him, but again the creature is on top of him Cool. Uh, so this is gonna make this extra great. She's gonna go over and kick him in this stomach nice.

Okay, uh, uh, uh Uh, roll me a brawl See if it actually kills him and i'm gonna give you, um, you don't have the black dice Uh, i'll give you a blue because he's being grappled by keith. Oh, yeah, should i forget about keith Uh, okay, I hit roll. You did? Yes, I did.

You didn't know what to do with anything. Okay. Did it just not like you guys? No, that's that's that's the least um Oh, man this this Went but it went after I got rid of the purples.

Okay, let me add the two purples and the blue and then i'll roll that manually Um, wow. Okay So, uh, you got a net of two successes and one advantage. So what is your bran? Two, I think two.

Okay, so you do uh three damage to him. Um, Lord by his he you do it a little bit of damage. I mean i didn't want to do damage. I just wanted to kick him Uh, and yeah, are I guess i had so this wouldn't really you're not gonna do radiation damage because you're just kicking him.

Um, so yeah, you give him a kick Uh, and then what else do you do? Uh, is keith reacting to it all? Uh, keith is trying to eat the doctor He's like on or even like, uh, he's like that like fangs bear and he's ready to devour this man So i'm gonna just kind of take a take a uh, Total risk here. So I think she just kind of walks over and like puts puts a hand on keith's shoulder Like she's done a couple of times before and I think she just kind of is like, okay, buddy I how you doing?

It's okay. We're gonna be okay buddy and just yeah, see what happens Okay, I think she's kind of diluted herself into thinking that he's fine. Yeah, roll roll me a charm check Um, it's gonna be difficult. No, no, people have me don't worry about it Okay, so you failed because it was a difficulty five damn near impossible Uh, but you failed to charm him but at this point, I'm gonna have him.

I'm gonna roll at d 100 Um, unless this rule is really really really high. He doesn't care about you and he's ready for his next meal. He's hungry. Damn I swear i'm really i'm not rolling a d like, you know, a d 20 plus 80 I swear i'm actually rolling a d 100 every time it just happens to always be in the like 90s Uh, but I think he looks up at you and just sort of snarls and like pushes down the doctor Uh, and I think it just kind of makes sense that uh, well, he'd he claws Um, so he's gonna claw at you for the first time.

I think in the entire fight, right? Yeah, okay, uh, so he claws at you Um, but before actually sorry one last thing before that happens at the end of your turn. I need you to roll me a uh, dis one check Oh fair, uh, okay Um Okay rolling it. Hmm.

Let me stop for dramatic emphasis. Yep. This is where the uh, this game hates us I did it twice. So maybe that's gonna help question mark Man I do physically have genesis dice.

Should I just roll those? Oh, oh, yeah, just do yeah if you got genesis dice Yeah, if you have them handy, that would actually be super helpful have them handy handy would be Yeah, give me a second Okay, and be fam. Yep. Um, i'm gonna real quick go ahead and refresh this dice roller as well because it's being something We can fix it in post right guys.

Yeah, uh, you see you say that Paul didn't get his chair and then he would just give us a hardy laugh No, but Paul will laugh his uh new dad years are tingling Somewhere in the end either should enough they'll be changing the thermostat on me Okay, I Finish converting tokens to tags. Okay. Let's try this again I think in future games we may need to find something other than real Tony or some way to roll these things different because this is It's failed like five times tonight and it shouldn't be doing that. Uh, I know Funky so these dice on steam that you can make little pug nice.

So I think that was the great five dollars spent So I'm sure you could make genesis anyway. Okay. So what am I rolling? I got physical Um, so you're making a dis one check.

Okay. Uh, okay So, uh, what is your two purple lace? Okay, so that's two purple and then my discipline is, uh, it's a career scale. So it's too green Do you mean?

Okay, you don't have any rings in? No, okay. So yeah, just to green All right. So that is for those of you who aren't physically in front of me two successes one Uh, failure and two threat so net that's that's that's right.

So net one success. Yeah and one threat. Yeah, okay. Uh, okay So you're good.

Nothing happens. Oh, that is good or bad possibly. All right. Carry on Yeah, uh, okay.

So this creature is now going to claw at you with his claws Uh, it'll be One yellow to green. Yeah, I guess he's not even really a ghoul any Uh, he's a ghoul thing. And that's the thing is he's he looks like a human, but he's acting like a ghoul Like a weird one is I don't have like a naked human token. Um, and I did not want to google no, that's not Yeah, no, not not not what I want to do.

I'm gonna drag in there's a yeah, there's a lot of lists. I think that you end up on Yeah Naked fleshless. Oh, yeah. Nope.

That's bad. Nope. They all know to that one. Uh boom swing that Uh, wow three successes.

So that's gonna be eight damage before your wound threshold or your soak value Cool And what's your soak? Good question. It's three three. Okay.

So you take five points of damage as this guy just claws into you Heath bad boy Eve Not not hurts people And that is his turn Got a rubbish nose in it like a puppy. Yeah, although I think that's been like widely disproven. You're not supposed to do that Well, so I've had a puppy. Yeah, I feel like I've heard that too.

Okay, uh, the doctor is gonna try to escape Uh, but he's currently being like one hand is you know, he's being kind of held down by Keith and you know, well, Keith's also He doesn't essentially find it goes to get this one. He's holding down his next food while clogging you with his off end Uh, so he's gonna roll this is he can escape And he's there is to escape. So yeah, he's like trying to struggle and at this point. He's almost you know, like he's still pretty sickly in near death Uh, but he's he fails to escape.

Uh, so like you're up So There's only one door, right? Uh, yes, just one door that they were pretty much hitting it. Okay I think uh he levels one of his laser rifles at Keith. No Keith You know it takes time to aim.

Oh And uh, it goes through the shot Okay, it's gonna be difficult the two right you're at medium range. Yeah. Oh, you said you're aiming right? Yep.

Okay. I've got those dice set up All right, here we go. Hopefully it works Damn Is one two three four four hits and a crit and two advantage On that weapon is No, my baby. I've grown so attached Yeah, what is the creating three?

Okay, so if you want, uh, you can use that critical in general to Uh, you basically do any of the things Um, so if you want to do something vital upgrade upgrade something do bonus damage. It kind of depends on what it is you wanting to do Uh, but yeah, what is it go first off? What's the base damage of the attack eight? The base is eight.

Yeah, and then you got next show four successes. So that's 12 damage before the crit Oh, no So here's what i'm thinking Is we need to get out, right? Yep, and i'm thinking the laser bolt like it hits him But the crit is he actually blasts out part of the doorframe and the doorframe falls in on the doctor and Keith Oh my god. I love it.

Okay. Uh, I mean yeah with that much damage. Yeah, I'll let you do that So first up first things first you do is eight 12 damage before his brawn or before his uh, soak So he's got a soak of that so he takes 12 so he takes seven points of damage So he is immediately he has a bit of a hit despite he's immediately bloodied and then the door falls on the two of them Um, i'm just gonna have them both make a resilience check So the ghoul is rolling Uh three green dice Um I'm gonna call it difficulty two purple. So boom.

Yeah, he's strong Uh the other guy not so strong He fails so uh the doctor is going to take an extra four points of damage Wow, he hasn't left No, he's dead. No, he's he's definitely dead. Uh, so i think Uh, so Keith like steps to the side like pushes the door down and when he pushes the door down i'm making visual things in my room And i'm realizing that literally no one can see me. It's just for me Uh, he pushes the door down and it gets pushed down even further and the doctor just goes squish nice Mm Um, um, squishy medicine.

Oh, yeah, uh, and then uh, the ghoul just sort of like looks at the looks I think it's when he's looking at sully for sure sully just shot the ever living shit out of him Right, uh, and it's one of uh, you guys know something new initiative. So if you want to just take another shot you could You have an idea midge of how i'm taking it. Yeah, i'll take a shot All right, uh aiming again and be like, well, sorry Keith.

Okay, roll it up. All right here we go Don't do this to me right on the end. I mean I need results All right, monica. You get your dice.

Yeah Okay, um, what what is it that you got for your uh, your check? So i see i got a blue for it. Oh, there it goes. It was slow.

Um With all those with all those dice you still have success. We got two success for the advantage So it's eight plus one is nine damage, right? Yep. Um, so nine minus Five is four Okay, so he is on death story.

Uh, yeah, he charges the crap out of you Goes to claw you um, definitely gotta be upgrading this check and Boom boom boom rolling Yeah, he just runs at you like both claws Why just at this one he just dives at you and like tries to put his hands into your television screen No, not my CRT And he hits you for seven points of damage. Was that with soak? Oh, that's before your soak So, uh, if you've got soak you take two such a tank Ah There's like a tank noise like kind of maybe thinks about scratching Uh, and midge you're up He's made to armed good lord.

He's just he's still having a chain signing off of him Off of oh no, it doesn't know they're all like they were all basically destroyed at the table I think uh midge goes to I think she's she's still got of all of her science equipment So I think she's got a scalp longer I think she just kind of pulls it and then moves to uh do a quick stab of the the neck to see if Nice. Okay comes out of it.

So okay. Cool. Let me pull up What is that? But that's I feel like I I started out like thinking that I would use these as weapons and then we just avoided fighting Uh, that would be a melee roll.

Yeah, which you are really good at Never use it, but sure you've never used it, but it's you know, it's a point So three, uh, okay, I'm gonna go ahead and roll it Yeah, you should be good use the dice rolling game. Yep. Uh, I'm gonna go ahead and roll it physically No, no, just kidding. I suppose I say it didn't work Uh, that's the thing.

Do you need to be ready to roll dice and roll turns like no, bitch You can roll on my system and that is okay, uh, so that is two successes and two threat. Uh, what's the damage on that? Uh, weapon? Uh, that's a good question.

Uh, I'm gonna check for you. It is Damage of three. Yeah So three plus one is four Um, um, is it really only three that seems really blow. I mean it is just a little stabby thing Yeah, I guess that is true.

Um, so, uh, but the qua- oh, it's got peers. That's the important thing. Pierce ignores, uh, his armor. So, uh, wow Um, he's got three health and you did three damage and ignore his, uh, run.

So you come up and how do you do this? You kill him. What does it look like? Is it like the study of the throat stab directly in the neck?
