Greetings Space Cadets to Episode 11 of N of N.V. List Knights, the actual play of fate-based podcast in the S.H.U. universe. We are a canonical podcast with the rest of the S.H.U.

a little universe of like Villanuea ground, and real city heroes, and a generation of Justice. Or Justice Academy, as some people like to refer to it as, which I don't know. We should have a reboot of that, but let's not talk about that now. Let's talk about the amazing, wonderful people who support some Patreon and are playing in this game.

But since we're 10, 11 episodes, and why do we have a little refresher of who you guys are playing, and what you like high concepts and stuff are? Let's start off with our good, good friend over the pond, over the pond, through the pond? I don't know. Hi, Robert, what's up?

OK, so I'm playing Charm. Here is a cockra, a floral creature, that my high concept is protector of kin. We have a trouble of haunted by whom he couldn't protect. I just recently checked the aspect stuff.

I looked through your aspects again and your stunts, and I was like, oh shit, there's a lot of stuff we forgot. Well, that's good. Hopefully it comes up a little bit later, maybe, in this episode or next. Let's go.

Who do you think the next closest person is, Robert? No idea. US geography is not my strong suit. To be fair to you, US geography is also not my strong suit, and I live here.

So you're good. Well, Eli, you can sense it. You might be the next closest. Why don't you introduce yourself?

Hi, I'm Eli. I'm playing Mirage, who is a V-earz, which is a space cat. So they're very cute when they're not angry. My high concept is that I am a telepathic mob boss hiding behind a facade, and I'm being chased by the giant company or corporation or whatever they are.

Also, I got a scythe. That did have a nice time. I'm a scythet. I'm not really sure where both actually go.

So I think it should have gone to Matthew, and then me, and then Jay, and then you, and then Mike. Oh, let's go to Matthew. Well, howdy, y'all. It me, it Matthew.

I'm playing Zanthrop. He's a little guard. He's about a foot tall, but he's smart as a dickens. And his race to the guard, you see, they make up for their small stature by rattin' round in the ole mix.

So he got to be ole mix. Are you making fun of the place I come from Matthew? I don't know where you come from, Eli. I come from Tennessee.

Lesson of brass. It's my grists. Mark, why don't you, or Mark, Mike, why don't you introduce your character? Mark, let me just introduce.

Hi, I'm Mike. I play Mark the G-tan. Long story short, he used to be called a gorkin, but then he is going to reveal to everyone that we'll get into it. Anyway, my high concept is I'm the Texavant of the Savage Lands, and my trouble is that nobody trusts a smart gorkin, because everyone still thinks he's a gorkin, even though he's a g-tan.

Yeah, we'll get a little bit more into that. People so speciesist. Yeah. That might pop up a little bit more.

Jay, what about you? I'm playing Bonesstar. He is an unkillable star skeleton bounty hunter with loyalty for hire. That's the high concept, at least.

He has a short attention span. He's easily bored, and even though he's technically in charge of the rest of the group, he has basically abdicated all responsibility. So it's about right. Oh, also to note, Bonesstar is spelt with all capitals, and Bonesstar is one word.

I just want to emphasize that a lot, because I love every time I read it, I scream Bonesstar in my own head. Oh, stop. It's a really amazing spot on my behalf. I feel almost bad about it.

Oh, my God. You shouldn't. Oh, I was great. I haven't gone to dad joke college, which is, you know, like it's unfortunate.

Bonesstar. I wanna. So can anyone tell me what happened last time on Nebula's nights? Mirage died.

She got better. She did. And then she got to Scythe. A bunch of gods got all up in our business, and we couldn't call the Godbusters because they don't exist.

And so who are we gonna call? I guess the manifestation of growth in the harvest or something. Yeah, so the plant that Shom planted a while ago, which Robert, we need to talk about that because you got to call on your part. Keep on your part.

Started to like take over the ship and started to crush it. So Mirage dumped everything they had into trying to psychically overload it, and accidentally had an embodiment of harvest takeover, which is where the Scythe came from. They killed it, and then two unknown beings to our crew showed up, and one of them killed Mirage, stole a baby. No, tried to steal a baby, but more stopped them.

The baby manifested out of Mirage's neck after Mirage got decapitated. It was a whole thing, and then they got away. And then I think we went to another planet. What is Point Suever remembers the name of the planet?

Oh, I lost my name. It was like Hex or something because I was making jokes about it being like the fifth planet in a solar system that was called, it was Hex or something. Yeah, what's Hex? Hex and Ari Five.

That's what it was. That's right. And we saw those same. We saw those same beings that started business with us going after another god, the god of the Quillis, who are basically porcupine elves for new listeners.

And it looked like they were either trying to kidnap or kill this local god and succeeded as we were arriving. There's a giant battle going on. Dogs were fighting cats. It was horrible at the very, very end.

It turned out that, well, the god tricked them, because they were so much more than a little bit more than they actually got captured. Because they came out of the temple afterwards and laughing after the other gods took off. I will say there's one notable difference between the god that was taken away. The god that was dragged away seemed to have a lab coat on.

And he looked fancy with a lab coat. He looked more like a scientist. And he was all 12 feet tall, big scientist person, but also being escorted by these multiple arm-figured. The other person that walked out, that's just walked out of eight tent, seems to be in lavish clothing.

They look the same, tall and everything. Same sort of facial features and whatnot. But they just seem to be in a tentacle dream coat kind of situation. Oh, so potentially different aspect of Saint God or a different god that just sold out his brother God or something.

We might figure that out right now. Isn't this anything else that we need to recap? I think we got pretty much everything. Well, maybe we should, since we are trying to introduce folks to new stuff.

The multi-armed figure that we're talking about is definitely Kali and definitely with Death Boy. And you can see those two getting up to some shenanigans over in Generation Justice, where they similarly murder a god and then create a baby from the Ted. Yep. The timeline-wise for Eli's sake was the Generation Justice stuff before the space stuff for them.

I think that came out on the feed beforehand. So I think that's what matters. OK. Although don't make me play Cannicop.

I'm so bad at that shit. No, no, no. That was just like, I'm just trying to piece together. Whenever Alex and me get together and we'll stare at each other into each other's eyes, our minds will link and then keep you in the hands of the other ones right now.

I don't mind my idea. Is it important? I mean, or is it just that it happened? I think it's important that it just happened.

It's mainly for Eli's own knowledge because Eli likes knowing when stuff happens. So it's not really important. However, Cody, I would like to request that I'm there when you and Alex do get to stare into each other's eyes. It's just fucking magical.

And I do not want to miss that. I don't want to close my eyes. Yeah. Bradabadabadabadabadabad.

So without a lot out of the way, you guys are in the ship. Sort of like you've seen all this on a little monitor screen in Bones starship. You guys haven't landed yet, but you guys made it inside the sort of dome structure that sort of wear all the air is kept in whatever space was the thing. A dome on the space planet surface.

It's a little bit biodome. Biodome. Yeah, you've been inside the bio dome. Some thunder crashes as you enter.

But yeah, what do you guys do? Mirage is going to try and find the alien, probably sure, since we are in a bio dome. Just to, you know. Oh, for Stephen Baldwin.

Was it Stephen Baldwin? It was one of the ball. Yes, it was Stephen Baldwin. They ruined the bio dome by sneaking Cheetos under something.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. I'm going to go to buy some fine Cheetos. I don't want to get into the whole plot about bio dump.

It was a lot more than just making Cheetos. I may or may not have watched that movie fairly recently. So what do you guys do? Are you guys going to land?

Are you guys going to start shooting people from the sky? Before we land, Zantrop would want to scan the surface and see if he can determine if there are more life forms around? OK. Roly?

I feel like that's a will. OK. Get it all. Oh, how is it a 6'2 for you?

6'2's fairly well, actually. You sort of walk up to bone stars controls. You sort of bring up. You dust off some science equipment, and you start making scans.

I do science. I just see like, science ads. You start scanning the area, and it seems like there are creatures down there, whenever you scan over the large figure, it sort of has some odd readings to it. Nothing.

You know, there's something there, but it can't identify species or race or anything like that. But the important thing is that the beings that came down are no longer there, that appeared or no longer there. And is now, when I see life forms, they're different than the ones that all shot themselves or each other. OK.

You sort of like a heat vision scan, some of the other tents and some of the other buildings. There are some people kind of running around in there. And there's also a few people outside. You know, it's actually noticed a few of the people that are on the ground right now aren't actually dead.

Compatriates. I have just scanned the planet. And it appears that there are several of those beings that shot themselves or each other. They're still alive.

We should probably go help them. Yeah, do some triage on them to make sure that the ones that just blew their, like, floor jaw out or blew part of their cheek off. We can help the ones that can be helped. That kind of thing.

This is space. We can do whatever we want. We can make them a metal jaw. We can make them bigger, stronger, more powerful, than ever before.

It's full science. Both stars can look over at Zantra and go, you're not a driver. Yes, I've been doing it my whole life, you see. And he waggles his arms in the mech.

Both star points at the controls of the ship and then flies through the windshield towards the god. Do you like, hold in the windshield or do you face? Oh, yeah. I like melt the hole in it so it doesn't explode into a broken glass or anything.

But yeah, he's gone. We're going to have to fix that later. Can Zantra like interface with the ship so that he can pilot it? Oh, yeah.

Just a roomy. I'm an innate pilot, Cody. OK. It's one of my things.

An innate pilot, battlesuits are built about pilot specifications and the physiology of the pilot does not make a drive roll to control the new for, oh, that's the suit. OK, well, stand by to stand by. LAUGHTER How's a negative one do on the pilot? You're a little destabilized.

Everyone else has to get their sort of balance before you can continue on. Are you dropping the ship somewhere? Or are you just observing from afar as that bone star goes down? Since bone star has left the building as it were, Zantra would feel inclined to land so that because they're not going to be able to leave with a big hole in the windshield, the space shield.

So because there's no winded space. So yeah, he would try and land it. OK. You have a very awkward landing where you kind of crash into one of the buildings that sort of crumbles.

Crunch. A little bit. As you sort of land the, oh, god. Bones are the name of your ship.

The carcass. The carcass. Oh, right, because it's made up of bones. Yeah.

Customer might be like it. It's been pretty bad. But Bones are you basically sort of eject yourself bodily from it and float down to the god. You're just going to land right in front of him.

I'm not going to tackle him. Oh, OK. Please roll me a fight. Sure.

That is a two. OK. Well, as you sort of like go towards him, he doesn't seem to notice you at all as you go to tackle him. But right as you get sort of within like five feet of him.

Wait, hold on. This is space. We have to go metric two meters of him. Damn it.

OK. You sort of crash into this weird shimmering energy. It's sort of like blue energy light kind of pops up and blocks you from entering any sort of turns. Oh, oh, hi.

I'm going to say that Buster hits the wall and then crashes into it and all the bones fall to the ground like bowling pins. I like this mental image. Is the Sun just like sort of like still floating there? Yeah, the Sun still floating there.

It's just he's a little dazed. He's kind of like looked out at the bones. That's OK. This is this is fairly weird.

I'm here to rescue you. Oh, oh, sure. Back in the back of the ship. What are you guys doing?

Morg is since we have no idea how fast we are going to need to get the hell out of here afterwards. Morg's going to work on swapping out the that patch of the whole slash vid screen slash whatever to, you know, not have a gaping hole there. Already you can probably do me a craft role. OK.

And Morg on his way over realized, huh, I forgot. I completely forgot that there's an omnitool inside of the back of my axe. You like. And so I'm going to get bonuses to craft now.

So well, Morg starts fixing that. What are you doing? You have a landed little cock eye, but landed. Zantrop would be getting like medical supplies together and just some tools, some of his tools.

And he'd be going out to try and help the people who are still alive. You sort of gather up a arm of medical supplies. Shum, Raj. Has Mirage woken up from being unconscious from dying?

Yeah, but you still have your six consequence back of mentally existed. Fair. Mirage is going to stumble out of the ship, not really sure what's going on or where they are. There's a bunch of bodies on the ground.

Some of them have blood and gore of a different species sort of plaster on the ground. Some of them have like weird guns. Most of these people are in like lab coats or sort of like similar kind of clothing jumpsuits, lots of jumpsuits. I'm going to reach out and see which ones are alive by like I can mentally reach out and whichever ones give off like a pain.

I'm going to rush to the closest one of those. Also, I did wake up next to an awesome scythe and having a vague recollection, I'm going to grab it up and run with it. Sounds good. Shum, what are you up to?

Shum's probably going out trying to use his new power to help some people. Nice. So you sort of run outside your little flower buddy is going to run a little bit. You sort of like had a small tiny conversation with this weird thing on the way over, not like a deep conversation, but probably something that you probably have with a small child.

Yeah. How good is the carcass fixed? I got a fantastic result of plus six. Nice.

You are. You seem to be very easy just to like grab this play, sort of like shape it into place. And like even as you put it on, it just sort of where you cut it around the edges, it just melts onto the onto the place that you were doing on the place that you were sort of cutting it out for. Maraj, what about you?

What's your empathy roll? So it's plus three total. You kind of get the feeling that like a few of these people are sort of still alive, but you get this general feeling of just like dread and despair, like a lot of these people that are on the ground, some of them even could get up. They just feel like they don't want to anymore.

Is it centered anywhere? Hmm, maybe we'll go back to bone star. OK, I'm going to spend a fate point to use my shape shifting power. OK, and I'm going to have the bones reform into like a quadruped.

So it's a big bull head on the front and then something resembling a bull body. Totally. The bones aren't quite right. And he'll look at the god in front of him and he'll say, well, look here, smarty pants are coming with me awake or asleep.

So it's your call and then he's going to start stamping his feet. Oh, you want me to ride you? Well, I got to take you somewhere and it's better than right in my back if I'm a dude. I always like being a dude.

Sometimes I want to be a bull. Fair, fair. OK, sure. Why not?

I haven't had a good ride in a while. And he tops on your back. OK, I'm going to start heading back towards the ship. Maraj, as you sort of think this thought, you see bone star in this weird quadrupad form, sort of looking like a what we know as a cow come towards you.

Yeah, you've found out where it's coming from. It's the guy that starts back. We probably know what a cow is at this point because bone star has giant posters of them all over the inside of the carcass. Oh, yeah, murals too.

If you work. What kind of guns are on the ground? There's a lot of guns on the ground. There's a lot of different guns on the ground for different species.

You don't recognize any of them. All right, I'm going to grab whatever the closest one is and try and figure out how to use it and then point it at the being that the immense dread is coming from and yell at bone star. Bone star, what the fuck is on your back? I'm going to say, this is the guy we're here to rescue, right?

I'm going to continue pointing a gun at them and say, what are you? Oh, me, like he said, I'm a god. You came here to rescue. Of what?

Oh, celebration. Happiness. Oh, grand displays. I'm going to try and cock the gun.

I don't know if I need to roll anything to figure out how this works. No, you're fine. You push a button randomly. And it's just like, OK, OK, I'm going to say bone star, I get a feeling of dread, just immense dread and terror and badness coming from them.

Oh, well, why don't you read it's mine like you do mine? I'm afraid to. How possibly go wrong? The creature that the god are on the back, it's just very large.

Looks at you. Are you sure you want to do that? I mean, you're probably not in good messing with things. You have no idea.

Understand. Oh, no, it's the god of mega. You don't know me. I don't know me.

Make a will roll, please. Yeah. Oh, damn it. If works repairs are done, is there a chance work would be able to show up?

I'm saying like, I think a sham and speaking for you guys, you guys the last were like helping people out. Sean is anthropoc sort of like going around helping other people. I think more is probably coming down like the ramp or whatever. I got a plus four.

Well, you look at the gun. You're thinking, no, I'm not in good at shooting anyway. I'm pretty good at shooting. No, I'm thinking that you're not.

Are you going to make mirage shoot themselves? Well, your head crew back once. I mean, Cody, can I convince them to not be named a mirage by doing something cute? They look over to you.

Why don't you just put that down? You don't know what that does. Actually, you know what? Why don't you just give it to me?

Can I roll something to resist or was the world to resist? No, no, no, you can you can not give it to them, but you're not pointing it out anymore. You don't think you're going to shoot them? I'm not going to give it to them.

Just because I don't trust them. Don't start. You said don't start right. I thought you were going to save me.

Where were we going? I love trips. How do you even get through the interviews? If you're not, how do you use a gun, Mirage?

Oh, no. How do you know how to use a gun? I just I don't know. I just I feel like, what about these other people running around?

Do they? Any even the medics, that person over there, the the the fun? Oh, yeah, they all know how to use guns. You must be confused, big guy.

You must be real confused. All these guys love using guns. They're done crazy. I know, but they're helped.

They'll look at them. They're helping people right now. Why are you guys just not made for me? And I just, you know, I'm I it's all weird.

Well, yeah, whatever. Well, we're going on a ship. So, you know, Doc, it's not a big entrance. Hey, Cody can work show up now.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. OK, like we're kind of trotched up with us acts and goes, OK, big guy. Let me ask you a question. What's your name?

Oh, I'm a man, click. Nice to meet you. Work turns to a bone star and Mirage says, yeah, that's not the God we're supposed to rescue. Oh, let me know when one star can do something.

What do you want to do? Try to fuck him. OK. Throw my back legs up in the air, jump up and down.

He's going on a mechanical bull ride. OK, what are you going to use to do that? Like a physique role or a fight role? Yeah, if you want me to.

Fuck yeah. That is a four. OK, you buck him good. You buck him off.

He's like gets shunted back and falls onto the ground. But what the fuck? You said you were here to help me. Loser God.

Where's the other guy? Oh, you mean, Stravani? He's gone now. This is this is my place now.

Look, I don't I don't know what the point of all this is. Maybe we should just go like leave this planet to its its own devices. No, no, no, no. I think we've obviously failed.

So I think the rest of you should stay. I think it's bone star and you still use. Yeah, I got to leave. Make me a will roll.

Oh, sorry. How about four plus? Is that a critical? Oh, hell.

Also, Cody, when I succeed with style, there is I get two invokes and the scene gets one in vote. Nice. Oh, call Kaboom under my stones. Right.

Well, fuck. They got pretty high, too. What is your overall will right now? Four.

I have zero will with that other side of the world. OK, I think even with that, you all see this God wave and bone star wings have existence. OK. While I'm waking up, I'm going to go cool.

Now I have the rest of you here with me. This is good. Why don't you why don't you stop doing that, Mr. Robot Man over there and stop.

What? Sorry. I stopped. Oh, you seem to be putting that person's job.

You're making a new metal job, which is cool, but not it's not necessary. Oh, it's it really is for science science. There's the thing about science will roll. You should come out for your day and will roll plus three.

You're just like, you don't think you're why are you even doing this? Like metal jaw. You can live without a job. You don't need to do it like science.

Who cares about science? Well, I can't agree with you about science. It's sort of everything I'm about. I'm all for it.

It's quite fascinating. Really, like, if I was to study these creatures more, you know, I would want them to be able to survive by consuming sustenance as they normally would, you know, that's part of the whole of science, the observation. Also, they would die otherwise, you know, that won't be right. Maybe they want to.

Do they naturally want to die? Everything naturally wants to die. Isn't that right? What's it?

Mirage, Mirage, was it? Cody. What? Okay.

So the scythe. Do I get any feeling that it wants to combat the force that this God is putting out? No. Okay.

I want to try and resist this influence again. So I'm going to roll will. I don't have any fake points anymore, right? Since I used them all last time or.

It's a while to get here. Okay. Cool. So fuck.

Actually, wait. No, that's possibly good. I'm going to invoke single minded to attempt to overcome the like just the sheer force of this will that's coming on me. So that is a plus seven total.

You look at the gun. Just like, what the hell was I thinking? Can you push the button again? Can I fire at this God?

Yeah. Cool. I'm going to do that. Okay.

Watch this be bad. I got it too. Overall. You see a shield pop up sort of in front of them sort of like a bluish wave comes up and it sort blocks the bullet from wherever it hits.

You notice that the bullet that came out is very strange. It looks like a drill. I love his tweets. Um, cool.

So, uh, Mirage is going to just keep firing, but I'm assuming they all hit the same way. So someone else can find you something while Mirage has them distracted, I guess, a little bit. What else are you doing? Morgz tired of this God's bullshit when he's obviously like, mmm, melancholy, everyone seems very depressed and doesn't want to move.

Okay, lastie time for you to go back into the well with Timmy. Morgz going to attack with his accent. You just sort of run forward and slash this guy at the rear with the shield that he's got it sort of dissipates and you slash him across his chest, this very large chest and you see part of his technical dream coat fall off and he looks very pissed. He goes, you son of a, he reaches out and grabs you by the throat.

But as this happens, he loses concentration and bone star comes back with a. All right. I'm helping. While I blink in, you can hear me finish.

Oh, everyone please make me an athletics to dodge out of the way of bone star exploding. As though everyone beat it except for this, this God who gets blasted away and he sort of like just getting across the ground and Morgz fills his two stress slot. Oh God. The God sort of like dies away.

He sort of like hits into one of the bodies that's laying in the ground and goes, you sort of bitch, you called me a loser and you should be gone for it. Thanks for cleaning my pipes out, buddy. I will wink out every single one of you stars and he grabs the person behind him and you see several people around you who were just laying in the ground like they didn't want to live anymore. Get up and start grabbing their weapons again.

Can Mirage grab the scythe and brandish it? Drop the drop the gun and Maras is going to use her new start. Hold on. Hold on.

Can we get? I want to do this notice thing. Let's go with the notice thing. What's everyone's notice?

Base notice. Do we roll notice or just our base notice? No, just base notice. Oh, minus one.

One, two. Two, four, sand throughout. Sean, what about you? One.

Uh, y'all figure out who goes first because it's currently bone star Maras, Sean and Morgz all tight for one. Nice. I'll go after bone star. I'll go after him.

I'll go after him. I'll go after him. I'll go after him. Sure.

I'll pull up the rail. There you go. I'm going to look around for Zantra. Oh, Zantra goes first.

Hi, I'm there. I didn't know if you... Sorry, Zantra up here with us or is he still out in the field with other people? It's sort of like in the same general vicinity.

Okay. So I don't need to look for him or anything. No, you guys are like still sort of next to the ship a little bit. He got the God guy.

Melancholic got blown away a little bit. Okay. Cool. So then I guess his exs turn goes first.

Cody. I'm going to use my will in place of my lore in accordance with my student to see if I can... If I know anything about this kind of power. Sure.

Like the power of suggestion. Go ahead. Pia. That is a plus one moment.

Five. A plus five. So you're more concerned about the power of suggestion more than anything else? Well, I mean, no.

I'm trying to figure out if I can understand what the power is. That was Matthew adding on that little like purple man. That's what he is. He's purple man.

Purple man. Purple man. Sort of thinking about it for a little bit. This power of suggestion, you know, some species have it.

But after getting his name, you kind of put two and two together. You know that this is... There used to be a god who was worshipped on one of the things who's basically kind of like, I don't know if you could be called this, but like the god of being spaced where this god likes to mess with people and basically make, you know, like the infotestimal things of space, he likes to put things in perspective for a lot of people. They worship him on one of the Quillis' home worlds, Amunz.

And this particular power just makes you feel Melancholic. He's a great place, Pope. Got it. So it's a...

He is an actual god. It's not a racial ability. He is an actual god. Okay.

People do worship him. But it is. It's all mental as far as I know. Yeah.

The... I'll give you this. That shield that he had before. It's not something you've ever heard of.

In fact, as you look around the rest of this place, this entire place seems to be a scientific camp. Everyone that's on the ground is wearing lab coats and whatnot. A lot of people have guns. They all have different guns.

Like all of them are different. You see some scientific experiments as you look around. There's just a lot of science here. It's very sciencey.

Got it. In that case, what I would like to actually do for my action while they're still figuring out who's going when because I don't know if they determine that yet. I would like to use my craft's ability and I would like to pull apart some of these weapons to... I assume they use some sort of ammunition or either combustion or otherwise.

And I would like to try and make some sort of explosive out of that. Cool. Romy craft. That is a plus five.

A plus five. I'll say that'll give you an advantage of experimental explosive. I got a bomb. Yeah.

Where's the antarchettic grenade from? I don't know. A lot of latheem ion laptop batteries. It'll give you the advantage of a plus two experimental explosive.

Cool. Next. Anything else you want to get going? That's right next.

I'm going to look over at the crowd full of guns or whatever and kind of like look behind me and say, you all might want to handle them. I'll go after the pick a and I'll head over towards the god. Can I get there and still do stuff or is that a... Yeah, you can get there and do stuff.

I will go ahead and just try to flame with a huge uppercut. All right. Romy a fight. That is plus four.

You land a fairly large uppercut on him. The shield that he had seems to have dissipated. You punch it. You sock him right in the jaw.

Awesome. I'm just going to focus. I'm ready to be the show. One of the ones next to him on the ground sort of like weekly reaches where one of the guns and lifts it up towards you and half hard to reset you.

Okay. But manages a four. Oh boy. I rolled a negative one to do that.

So I'm going to take two. Okay. They sort of like weekly reach up and shoot you with one of these guns. You notice that this thing shoots like an arrow.

It cracks one of your bones and then that one bone just starts melting. You broke my shit. You little... No, it's clavicle.

All right. Maraj. Seeing bones start getting hurt. Maraj will brandish the scythe and will yell, don't ever come at me or my son ever again.

And Cody, since Maraj doesn't have good control over the scythe harvest, I do want to use the ability. I can draw a life force from around me and infuse the blade with power, but Maraj would like to do so from the enemies. However, I will let you choose which creatures life force gets drawn from and my teammates. I'm sorry.

It's a fast feeler. It's okay. Go for it. This may actually be a good combo move.

Just preemptively. Okay. So do I need to roll anything to see? Nope.

You just do it. Okay. So and I'm going to charge at the God and I will roll fight. As you do that, Morgan, I'd like you to make a will roll.

Okay. That is a plus three. You take one stress of will. One mental stress.

Gotcha. And Maraj Eli, as you're running over, you notice that a few of the people on the ground sort of like shrink in on themselves a little bit. Maraj will project out mentally. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. But we'll continue to attack. Yep.

All right. Go ahead. Okay. So that is a plus two on the dice plus one fight plus two from the side.

So a plus five. You sort of slice them across the stomach with your glowing side and you see more of a technical dream code sort of like fade away. You see even him as he sort of like starts shrinking and sort of becoming pale and shrunk in and he coughs up some blood as one of the people on the ground tries to look up and shoot you, but only gets a one. That is a three.

No, that is a four. You dodge out of the way as this wire kind of spools through the air and misses you. More. He's more.

More blood is up and we seem to be knocking the crap out of this God as is. But there's a lot of these bastards that keep on trying to shoot us when the God is attacked. I am going to roll provoke to try to shout down the the cowering gun people to get them to stop bloody shooting at us. It's the attrition and also one starts out take out the weak links and he and Mirage seem to have this for now.

That is a plus four. You hear some of them whimper a little bit more a few of them sort of drop their guns, but you still see a few of them trying to get up and sort of getting things out. One of them sort of takes out like it looks like a kukri and starts like kind of rubbing their arm up. Sean.

I'm going to try and form my arm into a shield to try and give some people based on their defenses. Okay. Nice. So like running up into the into the fray.

A plus five. All right. That will give you a plus two for an aspect. Sean shield.

Nice. Yeah. All right. Back to the top of the order.

Sam throughout. You got your time. I'm gonna throw this. Okay.

Romeo shoot. Oh hell yeah. Oh, that's a plus. No, that my shoot is a plus one, but I got a plus seven because Matthew rolled three fives in a six.

Nice. We are popping off. Holy crap. Hell yeah.

So you throw this explosive towards a melancholy. He just explodes gets like shunted back again and slams into a building. As you see the rest of the the people around you sort of like drop their weapons and sort of like returns being faced down on the ground. Mount college is shrunken in like his technical dream co is all busted.

It's now not even dreamy. It's nightmarish. But as the explosion goes off, I'd like all of you to make me an athletics role to ball lock the explosion. Because I feel like you're a little bit.

So let's just let it. That's what we have. It's not the Zeke. Can he just soak with physique like a turtle up?

This is it vampire. You don't so. I ended up with a negative three. Okay.

Damn. What did Marosh have to be again? Well, first everyone had to beat like a two because I'm not gonna do the full seven. I'm gonna say you guys got caught in the blast, but I got it.

Yeah, I got it. I got it too. I got a one. Shown.
