May I finish the night? Hello everybody and welcome to Nebula's Nights episode 21. I am your GMJ And we are here with an entire rowdy crew of space Buccaneers about ready to set sail into the galaxy I'm gonna introduce a one by one first of all playing the dog man from outer space Logan Hey there, what's up? Who's your character?
What they look like the kid a yama is a dog man On outer space he does the punch real good. We have Robert playing sham. Hi. I'm sham and sham is a Treeperson who's lost most of his species playing mirage Eli Hello, hit me playing mirage as previously stated She is a catwoman space mob boss person Thanks blob.
I just woke up. I'm still trying to be all here You sound like you're about ready to go immediately back to sleep. I mean Hell yeah brand new to the show are I guess what I say our newest patreon supporter, you know, I'll just like introduce yourself Hey, I'm Zach. I'm playing a character who hasn't shown up yet Well, I guess we'll have to get to that when we get to that now just to be sure you are not the Zach from Generation Justice, Brad No far less attractive Take that own playing the forager her name is G So I am a six foot off person in a set of combat armor and I'm very glad to be here And finally bringing up the rear Jesse is playing whoever Negotiate for interest music with Alex Yeah, I was gonna I was gonna jump right in like talk about episode 21 and now that we can drink My phone went off The power interesting There's another one just blow it up all over the place Zordon needs me But I'm Jesse.
I'm playing quiver. He's a he's a lost space boy shoot narrows. He's a human being he is He's a human being a real being We're on one early today. I've been up for like three hours and I've had like four cups of coffee and I've already pooped So let's do this.
Oh, no, why is that like a warning or something? I'm just letting you know how a roll Just to recap the last episode. We don't have to it's not canon. What do you think about that?
Muster man the game of thrones continues. Oh boy. Just kidding everybody the nights went to flip in prison prison cube Essentially a big open air prison with a bunch of other criminals from throughout the galaxy I guess you guys are technically criminals now. Congratulations.
We got pardoned You made a couple of plans to get out of the cube. It didn't go so well. There were some awkward sexual encounters some uh some some Random violence a large man to Ray But you eventually got the opportunity to face your jail air the warden an enormous Four-armed mutant alien man terrible leader of this prison and although you don't beat him in a fight You do manage to combine fist cuffs with fruit juice and get in there good enough to get your shit back and escape The only problem is there's only one escape pod you're all stuck in it and you're not really going anywhere in particular Drifting in the space, which would suck pretty bad. I think so we're gonna pick up from there y'all have been stuck in this little escape pod for the last couple of days and Bones stars been orbiting you to keep you warm at the very least.
I think mirage started 99 bottles of beer on the wall But kept increasing the starting number So at this point I think she's at probably a hundred thousand or so But you know probably eventually just curled up at everybody's feet and just slept for most of the trip All right, love that so I'm gonna say that after those couple of days you actually come across a ship a ship comes to rescue It's it's not a ship that you've seen before but after it approaches your escape pod You see the carcass coming on the horizon as well. You can tell from the ship approaching that they don't mean any harm They're not coming aggressively and when you get closer you can see it's your plant friend is me Is Sean your girlfriend came to save us? I would like to say you know before we go board on that ship go up to sham and be like hey man You know things are kind of tight back there on prison world. I may have said some things that you know may not have been very appropriate No means no, you never really should you know trade sexual favors for prison sentences So I just want to I want to bury the hatchet wait, which I know I you know bury the hatchet maybe a threatening thing to treat people But it's a very legit thing where I'm from that's appreciated just careful what you say between us because Else this could go very wrong No, yeah, I you know, I'm I'm here stranded you guys are doing me a favor So I apologize and I mean now your girlfriend's here So I mean you can you get down with her instead of a magic man back at prison.
I'm just gonna let that slide So she um she takes the pot aboard She has like a big crane arm that sucks into the the butt end of the ship and you get cracked open you finally get some breathing room Eventually the the carcass comes up and docks onto the side of her ship Which is called the melody and you folks can go back and forth wherever you would like I will thank his may You know what also do that? Yeah, Sean's gonna twits my I'll find some food You're gonna want to run to the carcass get the bag of Halloween candy. Oh, yeah, I do Yeah, we're gonna eat those stale Reese's How about you for it? I would like to Sink is me as well and I will go over to a sick artist to see if my spare power armor is there Okay, so everyone that goes to is me you you approach her when she's in the pilots chair And she kind of spins around and sees you and goes whoo rough couple of weeks, huh?
Telling me are you the one to thank for procuring our ship? Yeah, absolutely And it's got all your stuff on it too. I rated a giant corporation warehouse Nice. Thank you for both Saving us and getting our ship.
I understand that some of you might be mad about everything that went down back on Colosseum World you need to understand that that giant corporation was coming for you anyway, okay They won't be a problem anymore. Well, that's funny. You mentioned that are you any of you aware about what's happened in this space sector since you were locked up? Nope She turns on a vid screen and shows you that just the last four weeks have been Murder of CEOs after murder of CEOs after murder of cops after murder of cops Entire planets being taken over by a crime cartel The universe is in total chaos.
She looks over and says the giant corporation is no longer run by a CEO looking for profit It's run by that psycho fucking sheriff that came to kill me and he hasn't forgotten that you got away You wanted to put a bullet in you. This is not good. Yeah, this sucks as of right now We are all outlaws and if that's my fault I really apologize, but you know, I've looked into your reputation a little bit some tells me it ain't my fault Now break out was newsworthy you see your breakout on the list of news events that happen You know you breaking out kind of made news because no one's ever broken out of the wardens prison queue before I'm gonna walk over to sham and just kind of like clap him on the back. Hey, you're more famous now right The bad news is that that includes everybody that escaped so everybody's famous now You know she brings up another website You're essentially on the giant corporations equivalent of the FBI what most wanted list for you know like murder They blame you for the murder the CEO.
They blame you for what happened on Gampel tropolis You've been charged with corporate sabotage just the highest possible crime in the space sector at that moment I wander into where they're at with my bag of Halloween candy candy guys Oh, yeah, thanks Get my mind off this Quiver when you went into the car she saw that it was being piloted by forager's husband Michelle is a fox right a tiny fox Oh, I'll wave at him. I'll give him a little jawbreaker to put in his tiny hands. He jumps up and down. He's very excited.
I Love candy you show up at that bag of Halloween candy You're basically gonna be looking at the same news headlines that they are while she's going over You know all the stuff that's happened. She says I also got something else to show you come with me And she kind of just as you to the back of her ship So she brings you to a side room and she shows you this enormous mirror It's incredibly ornate mirror seems to be carved out of some prismatic gemstone and she says I think you were looking for the divine Lendens right yes, probably I've forgotten that Yes, I'm saying this is it the one and only also stolen from the giant corporation by the way nice They have so much cool shit in their warehouse and I took a lot of it and I broke a lot of it This allows us to know the existence of every source of divine energy in the galaxy and beyond beyond the galaxy anywhere We want she touches it traces it you can see magic pouring out of her fingers under the lens She shows you this entire space map. She points off to one little corner of it and goes Do you see the blip you see the do you see the big blob with hundreds of lips on it? That's earth Then she points on the other side of the map and goes now down here.
There's about six or seven of them And that's like a day away So I don't know what's going on with this god stuff beyond Beyond everybody being in different places on it But if we're looking for gods and we're looking to hunt down gods, I think this plane is where we go And she reaches out to sham it says Sean It's it's a it's a decayed son and a planet temple planet I mean, I don't know what we're gonna find there But if there's any reason why there's that many blips here and then she points to the rest of it You can see that the gods are pretty sparsely spread out throughout the galaxy other than this planet and earth She goes, I mean those are all weeks and cycles and years away if we drive there But this one's right in our backyard. This is what I'm up to right now But you know what I brought your ship you can fly away from this you can do whatever the hell it is you people do but This is just too much for me. This is the species that come from and their old planets and their old culture I have to do this I have to I vote pillaging. I mean exploring your civilizations old world Thanks for the support my Raj sorry old habits.
I mean anything's fine with me Okay, I'll take the melody there if we want to if everyone's okay with it We'll take the carcass there too. It might not be a bad idea to have two ships It's and if so, we'll just gonna set off now you can go relax in the carcass Michelle and I will just take over we linked up after Michelle yeah, Michelle Michelle's in the carcass you know Immediately run out of the roof wait. She goes so just you know do your own thing It's gonna be a day or so to get there and I'm not gonna be doing anything much but driving Maraj is already gone and come back to her quarters. Okay, though head to his quarters and throw away his finds from the prison planet Nothing to say to the crew but just kind of like internal monologuing Remembering somebody somebody on a robot wrestling world told me that there are gods and Devices that can get me to travel quickly.
So just kind of thinking to myself. I need to go find one of these people So what are you gonna be doing with your day off then? Still looking for good food because I've listened to all the episodes. I've been out and I realized I haven't actually eaten yet So how do you react all this info everyone else is gonna have to get out of the room She's looking at the lens peering and over Charms going to approach is may and ask so are you okay with everything that's happened like this doesn't seem like How you were when we first met I mean a lot's changed You didn't know me before I was famous either when you grow up without the home you you learn how to survive True.
I realized that like you guys were just gonna sit there running in prison unless I did something now You got out before I managed to figure out where you were but it all worked out. Yes, and thank you so much for finding us like Did another few cycles on that pod with those? I'm the one that should be thanking you. You didn't have to come and get me from those cops I mean, I don't know what you were doing there.
I don't know what you're coming to talk about but crack in the morning guns in my face What am I gonna do? Apparently there's some issue with the giant corporation and and my manager I don't get it, but they wanted me and they wanted me captured They wanted me throw that it went from me in that damn cube to if you show you're right Then I think I'm gonna go and get some rest she goes okay But as you turn to walk away she puts your hand her hand on your shoulder and says hold up a second I need to show you something please close the door She does a little slight whistle by putting her fingers into her mouth And when she does you can see that she's swirling with this bright blue energy and out of the big energy plumes Walks a bird band about six-foot-tall and he's got a huge flute and he's just fucking going to town on that thing He's going wild. He's going out of his mind with that flute. He doesn't even look at you He's just doing a big old dance and she goes I know all this stuff cuz I find a guy on and We're not on the same team Sean.
Okay, but there's not many of us left so regardless of teams I Think we're gonna have to find a way to work together I don't want to fight anybody this guy's cool as hell She points at coke a pelly and he does like a huge flute for ill in response and she goes He's he's the god of music and then and then like him it. He's helped me really throughout these last couple of weeks But we're just gonna have to deal with the fact that that might happen at one point in time I don't think I don't think the godwars at all more important than saving our people you deserve to know what up front I just don't trust don't trust your team that to go to blows in me over it. I mean, I guess a key is on my side But whatever, you know what I mean, right? I'm afraid I can't beat you up.
It's my if you need me I'll be there for you Damn, it's got wool. She puts her hands out to you like a handshake and chamel shit Okay, when you do you feel this big swell in your brain and your sense of shared consciousness has increased You know generally speaking where each other are at all times. You can speak through the link in your head This makes sense to you this shared consciousness used to happen between every member of our species All of us together, but without physical contact we can't do it This handshake's enough for you and I but those those thousands of people that are supposedly out there the top Yeah, I was talking about they're just gonna be cut off until we go find them So once once we are free from these gods and their wins, let's find them I just I just want you to let you know no matter what goes down. I trust you and I trust you Before you're rushing back after that conversation to go talk to Michelle So Michelle's in the pilot seat.
How do you react to that? Run to him me and I scoop him up and I cover his body and ten he kisses. Oh, thank you I've been driving a shit for a long time. I'm so happy to see you I'm happy to see you.
Do you look safe? Thank you I have been in prison. I was terrible. That sounds horrible.
Would you like to cook in celebration of your release? Oh fuck? Yes, whoever that's what you walk another room. Hey your chef, right?
Hey, I'm on a me. Would you like some food? I am so hungry Yes, I will go down to the galleons. See what I can prepare here There's a fully set kitchen.
Oh, it just doesn't use it. Oh fuck. Yes All right, I will do my best to make a fine ratatouille Nice all right, so quiver you're watching a space mouse go buck while in the kitchen. Can you give me a roll for craft forager?
All right, I quiver this is a hell of good fucking bucket of super here awesome. I'm so excited I made a ratatouille. Is that is not a soup? What other attitude is a soup?
No, dear. Did you not watch the movie? Little piece sorry Okay, describe to me your ratatouille then in detail, please Okay, it is like a casserole, but it is made with finely chopped layers of Root and spring vegetables. Okay, that's pretty good.
Yes. So is it pretty good then? Like your version of his forager version with a ready to be good. Yeah, are you happy with it with the two?
Yes, it is possible You're not going too hard on yourself for making it only a two No, there's this kitchen it is shit F of this stuff is canned. I don't know I can only do so much with this Quiver do you get forager access to your Halloween candy? Sure. Yeah, I mean I offered it up to everybody forager Do you have any interest in making a dessert?
Yes? I will make a fine moose with some milk does This is not very good. It is only a one So the milk dad's moose doesn't turn out unfortunately, but I mean it's fine. They'll get me wrong.
It's sweet I think it probably tastes better than raw dogging the milk buds milk does I would not brought dog anything But Any dear for the meal this could be in you pull into the planets orbit And this may says communication doesn't really work to create on this planet We're gonna need to figure out where to go in first. I just recommend we split up try to follow these leads It could be absolutely nothing, but then she points out on the map, but Sean that's that's an inverted shrine That's likely where we're gonna find anything about our old culture. It's like a mausoleum or something I would like to go there if you're willing to come with me Sean I think we're gonna need both of us to use the book. Yeah, I'm up for coming there Mirage yo, would you consider going with us?
I'm going to look at Sean Are we going to have any issues with me going with you? As long as you don't do anything unexpected everything should be fine Define unexpected. Let's play this way. Don't intentionally upset I mean I can't make that promise you realize that right like just try It's making a leans and goes look look You how are you want a team together good lord?
It wasn't really a choice. We're looking for someone to just help us with the gods Okay, I know you can fight the gods. I know you can hold yourself in one-on-one comment and I can't all right Okay, that's all I want. I just want your muscle really you can do whatever you want Oh my god, we have stuff to do So she kind of makes a drop zone around the shrine for that she looks and says there's a couple of like isolated blips So a key to do you want to take one of those?
Sure. Hey, well There's two that are rather close together. She kind of points out different part of the planet because for a journey I guess bone starship go, but where's bone star? Did anyone what's he up to?
He was with you guys, right? No? Yeah, he was Okay Well, I'm sure he'll turn up and as soon as she says that he kind of stumbles out of the bone room. No clothes on completely nude Feels good to be back these old boys Forger my man.
Yes, you'll go down and meet some gods like the old days you and me tag team Alright good. I want to meet some gods. Everybody's good gods. Why get a post-star get a god Have you met you?
Yeah, I'm great right. I'm delightful. I bring up the quality of conversation worry bone, sir I'm sure nice god will pick you up And she kind of points out that the drop sites are all kind of pretty separated from each other But she's gonna park the ships at the inverted shrine So if you have any problems just go back there unless anyone has any protestations You are going to be pub jean or fortnighted or whatever into your drop zone where we drop it boy Let's go Whoever the place that you get dropped into is it looks like sort of a ruined downtown area Ton of buildings made out of stone that have kind of been overtaken by roots A lot of this planet's covered in petrified wood kind of stone like but the coordinates that you have is making you are a couple blocks down And what looks like a larger more intact building just to make sure I'm clear the blips that were on that mirror We're specifically gods not just artifacts divine energy specific Okay, I'm just gonna start making my way there But I'm going to be cautious to make sure that I'm moving with stealth just in case there's things here that are unrecognizable or threatening Go ahead and make me but they still throw in the notice roll Stealth was a four notice was also a four this stuff went really well You were super sneaky and you're almost positive no one's like okay or anything There doesn't seem to be wildlife here So kind of eerily quiet the thing that you notice is that unlike the second floor of that building where the where the coordinate was There's like a really slight pink glow coming through looks like to be a window or a viewport or something You said it's in a building going through the window is that this is like a tall building like high up like multi stories or just like ground level It's about four stories if you were to take a guess It looks kind of fancy like maybe a courthouse or a museum or something I'm gonna get close to the building and use one by grappling arrows and try to get to the roof and look for an entrance point up there So that way I can kind of sneak down rather than go through the front door That's fine I'll let you get up to the roof about a problem, but go ahead make another stuff to make sure you can get the building Okay You managed to get down okay out of the second floor You notice that when you're going down the stairs you can see glimpses into the other floors It's actually does seem to be a museum There's like exhibits and weird pieces of clothing and jewelry and stuff that you've never really seen before looks really weird Wait, looks valuable. This is Sean's people.
This is like a museum for Sean's people You can tell just from looking around. I guess yeah, no this stuff really interests me When you could start scanning the floor you eventually start hearing someone say help help me help me help help I'm gonna continue That way then but try to stay stealthy Wait, I want to sneak up on whatever's making the noise Nice Oh, look at those pluses So that is a five yeah You absolutely are not being seen when you step onto the floor You can see it's kind of an open floor and the light is coming from what seems to be a little glowing ball of energy in the corner The room if you ever was played Zelda 64. It's very Navi Okay, I gotcha. Does it look like it's confined in anything or it's just kind of sitting there It's kind of like dolly glowing on the ground and you can still hear it say help help me help I'm going to approach it and like kind of whisper.
I heard you. Please I'm people. They forgot me There's no one to remember me. I'm dying.
I'm dying. So you're just stranded here. There's no there's no threats around Nobody's holding you here. I used to have followers, but someone killed them all and now I'm just I feel weak and faint I just if someone would believe in me, anyone Well, I mean you're standing right in front of me.
I know you're real. You know, I'm real. I mean I'm looking at you So obviously who are you? What are you?
Well, you snap your fingers three times for me. This is fairy magic. I'm a fairy god I was just gonna say are you like Tinkerbell or some shit. What's going on?
I'm a fairy god. I'm a fairy god, okay? Belief magic is very powerful for me. I mean Sure, there you go Okay, as soon as you do that the ball kind of like solidifies into a tiny little squid Okay, and then shoots a big glob in your face and starts laughing hysterically like Trick you in big my herald What the hell bitch?
Oh Start like wiping my face like kind of throwing it at the hound all like pissed off and gross. That's a God wad buddy The God wad you know it. I'm gonna be dripping you up and down for the next couple of weeks if you know what I'm saying Look, my name is Kuan I am a trickster god for the mock domain people and I was just waiting for someone to come by it's so boring I feel like you can't find all this fucking trick in the book. Oh You're gonna be in the God war now, dude.
Is it really a trick when you just like throw something at somebody's face? I mean I mean it works on you Yeah, I guess so well the guy just gonna stare at you And then you'll hear like from a looney tunes cartoon noise of like an anvil falling through the sky and then crashing into the ground Does it it's not like hitting me. It's just like coming. No, there's not even there.
It's just a noise Oh, this thing is fucking annoying Do I have a do I have stink bomb arrows? Yeah, you do I'm gonna shoot one like at the ground in front of it Okay, I'll go in a few sure okay, oh six you do hit it with a stink arrow And then you see it immediately like slowly saunter up to you sexy little squid, okay, and breathe it all back in your face This is why I'm very happy to meet you because you're like great at this Okay, so so what's the deal now? You're just gonna follow me around huh great. Oh, yeah, okay What the hell is that?
What is this whistling? I'm a I'm livening up the environment. It's quiet. So you're just a giant cartoon That's that's it right.
Yeah, I mean except that you're gonna fight and die for me. I don't know about dying for you Yeah, fair. Okay, maybe we can negotiate on that. Maybe I'll keep you alive.
What do you want? I just don't have some fun I'm just trying to get back to earth. Oh, that's all yeah, really really I was gonna do that anyway I don't really know anything about these gods this war people keep getting sucked into it is what I kind of keep hearing wait Why is this even happening? Who are these gods that are going to war?
Why is this even important to you who I was shrink it to be about six inches tall then sit there and plop on your shoulder Wrap their tentacles around your back your neck like you're holding your loved one at the movies and says you know There's a lot going on there buddy, but if I were you I'd probably be more worried about Come on points out the window nice try fuck off. I'm not looking out the window so you can slap me with some shit again Come on goes. Okay. I'm not gonna slap you with some shit.
Just come and look I don't want you to die. You're very fun. They fly over to the window and point out goes I'm about that guy if I get hit with something again because you're trying to play if prank on me I'm just walking out of here and you can fuck right off go ahead make a notice roll You notice that half of the room was like a fake wall that was painted to look like the rest of the room as if you were Running towards it you would smack into it, but you found the creases and realized that like there was a gap left in there On purpose and then you made it I told you stop doing the shit with me look you just play your part Don't make sure you stay live okay, beige you'll end up at earth. It'll be fun.
You'll go find the God war anyway Look at that guy look at him. All right. I'll look at the guy It is the sheriff that I'd arrest you he's I should say he's walking down the streets He's nine foot tall big old rainbow man star child same sheriff funk master. Is he after you is that what he's looking for?
Oh, no, he's after you. Oh, okay, perfect He's been following your friend is may ship ever since she broke out of the warehouse. She's not she's not exactly an expert Do you know how he's tracking us? I don't probably just tracking your your engine in some way, but now that I'm here the Check Corporation does have ways to source divine energy They retronge your different lens probably saw you come in here and figure they could kill tubers with one stone We have like general communication devices between the team you do but on this planet the reception is extremely bad Okay, I'm gonna give it a test just to see if anybody hears me and just say like quiver calling out to anybody anybody hear me great awesome We have mirage shaman is may all docking their ship and approaching this inverted shrine Interesting architecture you have here.
Yeah, so they bury all the dead and put all their you know their worldly possessions and stuff I don't know. What do you think? I'm sure we just go in or think we should be careful They would protect against crave roughing. Yeah, there's a lot of traps I mean that's why I don't want to go alone and then she kind of leans over a ranch link Yeah, I'm not gonna be the expendable one here So don't even think about it.
Don't you have like brain stuff you can do? Yeah, but I'm just saying if you're all's playing is to leave me behind I'll know about it No, I'm just saying here. We could probably use your brain stuff to avoid traps easier than we could our hands Yeah, that's fair So you go down and you know the first floor of the pyramid is pretty non-descript you can keep going down the staircases Robert and Eli both make notice rolls and make them three times I got a zero a three and a four I got a zero a zero and a two on your descent down to third flight of stairs the steps themselves collapse into like a slide and Neither of you see it coming is made does but she kind of just jumps down after you Mirage you actually managed to see that there's an alternate pathway out So you slide off to the left, but Sean you miss that and so you slide off to the right Sean you're going down the slide it's taking you up from what you can tell about five or six floors down You can see is my behind you going. I'm sure Mirage can handle it You get emptied out into a room in this room.
There are walls on each side and they are slowly closing in on you I want to look around the room to try and find a trigger or switch or something. Okay, go and make me notice or Or investigate roll you do it fine. Okay, we'll investigate That is a three There seems to be a mechanism buried underneath the ceiling But by being able to spread your roots out you're able to kind of get in between the cracks of the brick and the wood and managed to turn off the Switch as many looks in those. Okay, that was I was pretty slick you're going down Look we can just like try to get to the bottom of the pyramid.
I think that's where all the good stuff is Yeah, okay, let's keep going down She actually pulls out the book of spring and shows you like a diagram of an average trying and you can see that what she's pointing towards It's like a lot of the rooms are essentially for holding bodies But the bottom three floors are all sort of ceremonial rooms and churches and stuff like that She kind of walks aside you down the hall go ahead make me three more notice rolls That's three on the first one two on the second and a one So you see a spike jut out of the ceiling down towards her Are you actually managed to push her out of the way when you see it coming even though she didn't and she's okay? Yeah, thank you. Thanks. God this place sucks.
Yeah, we'll cap for each other. Okay. Yeah. No, you're right.
You're right. Thank you She goes to the book the book seems to be glowing the farther we get down So think around something and I should have see says that you see an enormous tree trunk Come down the other end of the hallway like it's on coming train Akita you're dropped into what looks to be like a wide open field It's fallow. There's nothing growing there. Just dirt or whatever But your coordinates sort of leads you to trek off across this field and into a nearby forest somewhere in this general area So go ahead make me a couple of notice rolls What you pick up is that there seems to be One blip of energy but multiple humans across the field doesn't seem like they've noticed you yet Humans or And you can see that they seem to be like tearing up the ground looking for something when you're about 50 Say about 50 feet away from them.
They still have it noticed you you get a little blip of your communicator come in I'm it's pretty staticky, but you can hear Quivers voice. It's cutting out every other word One thing that's super loud and crystal clear though is at the end of his message is an incredibly large horn noise That sounds like auga and that part definitely got the humans attention So you could you basically heard like quiver do you remember what you said exactly? I just said this is quiver to say anybody hear me. Okay, so you heard this is quiver hear me I'll try your responding go.
This is a key to and yeah barely The sheriff is here repeat the sheriff is here get away stealthily as you can get back to the ship if you can I've got some humans here They just noticed me but I don't know if they're hostile or not yet. I'm gonna call out to the humans um hello there Look, I'm I got a blip on this divine thing And apparently you guys also found it so they both stand up from what they're doing They're digging they appear really sick and emissated like like they haven't eaten in months They're both dressed in superhear costumes. One's got sort of a all black head to toe look kind of militaristic and the other person is Sort of like a supermodel She's wearing like a really fancy dress and some big shoes both look at you and they both speak at the same time Knowledge pantheon scum more food for brain spore Okay, you guys want food the one in the all black quick draws two pistols and shoot you What way was the sheriff going? This is coming towards you.
I mean it doesn't seem like he notices you but he's coming towards you Okay, I'm going to try to find just like a window on the opposite side of the building to slip out and Then just start taking off towards where a key to was going to be noticeable Oh, what's my notice? So that's a plus two what you notice when you're jumping out of the window Is that the air seems to be moving like when you're looking at it? It's weird It's almost like this one's painting the wind while it's going past. Okay, so not just normal wind No, no, no the wind seems to be swirling around the sheriff and the more it keeps going it seems to be encompassing him Can I make a stealth roll and instead of taking off right there kind of observe what's happening and just try to stay hidden?
Yeah, make a stealth roll a You don't get noticed at all cool. Yeah, I just want to see because you said it's kind of like encompassing like almost Coss wallowing around him. I just want to see what happens with this wind if you can have a troll 4 okay, you notice Juan is slyly trying to climb into your quiver Well, I mean this dude's just got stuck with me and following around anyways, so I'm gonna kind of just whisper to him I'm like what are you doing? He's like oh, I'm I think there's something useful here There's a lot of useful things in there.
I know that fan. You're right and then he like pulls up an arrow Okay, it goes try that one on who on the sheriff like I will kick the shit out of me like we barely got out as an entire team Oh, I would worry about him too much all that white stuff is uh, it's gonna be a problem for him. Yeah, screw it All right, let's do it. Oh, yeah, let me know the moment go ahead and make me another reaction roll.
Okay Same for this unfortunately go on roll better. Come on blows a big thing of dust in your face Okay Like glowy pixie dust. Yeah, yeah, and says hey, hey, hey, look I know you're new to this whole space thing But this stuff is incredible. You're gonna be able to keep your calm so well This is the benefit of hanging out with a god all the time, buddy And you immediately feel superhuman.
I feel like I got drugged basically. Yep. Okay Space-coke It is kind of like space-coke actually have a ton of energy you feel powerful as fuck no anxieties no worries And I actually feel stronger not just stronger like you feel like you could be lifting cars and throwing shit and all that stuff Well, all right. I'm kind of a revenge dude I'm gonna pull an arrow and take aim at the sheriff.
I'm gonna take a shot Whatever you roll add six to it. Jesus Christ. Okay. Wow.
So let's say plus 12 and As I fire the arrow, I'm gonna jump wait I'm doing a jumping shot coming out of the shadows jumping off of this building and I'm just going to yell surprise motherfucker Because I'm feeling hyped. I feel good. Let's roll The arrow you shoot just splits straight through his forehead cracks it open like you broke an egg He's screaming but all of the little the white swirls that were forming around him are kind of filling in the crevice and He as soon as this happens he kind of raises his head while it all cracked open and points up even goes oh Whoever I've heard so much about you. My name is brains for what I thought no, okay So, okay, I get it.
I got you. I'm a little wired right now, but yeah, all right So the club's talking not the sheriff's talking. Okay. Yep.
All right. Yeah, what's up as soon as he says that there are three portals that open around him and Three human superheroes step out rather to human superheroes in one robot. You recognize them as your old team You have omnipacts the Roman superhero You have backpacks a gadget here with an infinite amount of pockets and you have crunchy the human robust or is What's up guys? Looks like they're all covered in brain spores as well.
Oh shit, okay Well, I'm gonna ask my little trickster friend guy then I was like, hey, man I don't know what that stuff was that you gave me, but it was good Do you know how to get like whatever it is out of these guys? These are my bros like fun When you look behind to talk to him who on his pouring bat St. Pixie does into your quiver like a giant bag of sugar, okay Then he says well, I don't know if you want solo brain sport buddy. These are like five of him He's an elder god there are millions of him.
All right. Well, I mean I just I took out a dude that our whole team just had trouble with with one shot I don't know. I feel like you might be tricking me again. I think I might be able to do this.
I'm feeling real good buddy He kind of like scoops his back way back into your bag and blows another thing of Pixie does that even goes Yeah, liquid courage or what is it solid courage whatever go for it slugger? I'll make sure you don't die no matter what happens I don't know what else I'll do but I'll make sure you don't die. It's pretty hard for me to die anyway So I mean let's let's get it going he gives you a high five All right, yeah, high five, but then when you get when he gives you a high five more Pixie does flies off his hands Into your face. Yeah, this is what I like.
Yeah, I didn't like you're trying to trick me But now I'm feeling you know, you're you're the life of the party we can we can do some stuff Yeah, man, you know what whoever I couldn't do without you you're the life of the party now Come on out there and shoot your best friends. Yeah, I mean, I like them, but they look like they're infected stuff I mean that's their fault for getting infected. So I mean they probably shouldn't have done that they're bad they're bad man I mean look you got the first shot your reflexes are incredible I you decide what you're gonna I'm just gonna hang back and watch and then you can kind of float next to you and have a little lawn chair and sunglasses and they're sitting out of a coconut all right cool. Yeah, all right, so It's hard to keep that energy level up I thought you had four coffees motherfucker.
I did I did I shit it all out I'm going to use my Uncanny accuracy skill to get a big old boost and Because they all just stepped out of the portal at the same time I'm going to go for an angle to that if I get any kind of like low-through damage that somebody is behind them I'm gonna say that you can like ricochet your shot off of a building or something. Okay, cool Do I get another pixie dust plus you could plus 12 What the fuck all right cool. You're a lot of drugs right now. Yeah, feel good.
It doesn't even matter what I roll but 22 So you shoot an arrow and that arrow goes right through Omni packs his heart He looks a lot like Superman He's like a roman centurion Superman and he instantly just kind of lays on the ground and goes why you also managed to shoot a hole in Backpacks backpack which spilled all this shit all over the floor and they're like frantically scrambling on the ground to pick it up Sweet for his turn cruncho is Lunging from the ground towards your window and you are gonna need to make an athletics really get out of the way Okay, so it's an attack at me Okay Athletics roll so normal rolls three unless there's any bonuses to these drugs. No, you can absolutely no defensive bonus So this guy he looks like a about a seven or an eight foot tall version of a robot dinosaur like a T-Rex So he jumps up to you and he tackles you and he's standing on top of you and opens his mouth to breathe fire in your face Oh, so go ahead and make me another athletics roll. Okay, I got a four a four. Okay.
You managed to roll out of the way By how much did I beat him one? Ha all right, I get a free shot at him then so oh shit Okay, so I'm going to do like a look up backwards somersault like out from him and mid somersault fire and arrow at him so it is a Natural six whoo you put a hole right in the back of cruncho's head Okay, he's not dead, but he's a robot so he's kind of like doing the weird movement and trying to get a shit together I'm gonna say to my little god tell him like why did you say I should sell all these guys guys are chumps The sheriff is gonna go ahead and make his shot. Can you make me a mid-air athletics? Yeah a Four you take six damage.
Oh shit. That's why I hurt I'm gonna say you come crashing to the ground cool on your god kind of goes. Oh, you took one rough there But he should go back to the ship. It's just the sheriff standing.
All right, or is there one more? You wanna make me a notice roll? Yeah Oh then if you have a flex roll, okay One no a two a two you take seven Omni packs who you blew the whole lot of his shots Flies out of being knocked down you can see the inside of his chest is filled with the same type of like white wispy energy And as he lunges to Superman punching the side of the head you can hear him say bring sport feels what my heart used to be I Took six and then I'm taking seven. Yes.
I'm I'm still up. I'm still feeling real good though I feel real confident. I mean I only got hit twice I mean is that what you put his got let's keep rolling guys because I'm rolling I feel real good I want to spend another big point and do uncanny accuracy again and fire at the sheriff. I make me roll That was disgusting.
So without any drug bonuses. I got a 10 Okay, I mean you not the sheriff down he is big a hole through his chest now He's got one through setting this chest. Yeah, look at that bring her turn backpacks empty so they're backpacks by throwing it into the air And you there's a big swarm of like robot bugs. They're coming for you go ahead and make me another athletics roll Athletics is a three you take nine oh no That would feel everything I will spend the last faith point to heal a box and say not today bitch and Fire off a couple other shots at them just so I can keep fucking with them until I do get KO'd You eventually go down from another punch from on the packs In your last moments You can see the kuwan's actually creating like a bubble around you and is Partunically trying to drag the bubble away as if it were tied to them with a rope Mirage you slid off to the sides with your enhanced perception and your scientific abilities It's pretty easy to get out of the trap.
You don't like to worry about you kind of a visual map of this place already But you kind of get down into a big old anti-chamber filled with coffins You can see there's a lot of coffins they all look like you know like Fessimalese's of what sham look like Just from looking around the room This is like a very lavish place. I would like to use telekinesis to remove the tops of one of the coffins And just check out what's inside. I mean obviously a corpse of some kind of course with an amulet I'm gonna grab the amulet and Gently remove the amulet so as not to disturb the corpse more than I have to because although I may be a grave robber I promise shawm I would be respectful When you hold on to the amulet the zixxis your god astrid man appears in front of you. Holy shit I Wish now you see why I wanted you to go with your friends.
So places a storehouse Ancient artifacts are king goods like this whole room. I'm in this whole planet fucking hell. Yes Now that I have the coordinates my men can kind of loop this thing dry nice that amulete you're holding there that that's sold Emulate from the solid eight people it's worth upwards of six billion creds on the black market Does it do anything cool? What's important?
Mirage is that our market likes those things we sell to the warmongers and the warmongers enjoy these brief flights of combat They show no deference to those who operate the war you understand completely understand however if there is a God war to come. I think I should outfit myself with stuff that then we can sell once the wreckage is cleared Who's to say I won't be out fitting you myself Fair enough Take what you can find here. You must understand you have a greater place and things You know that a god horse coming yes, I've heard what you think will fire the first shot I'm assuming our side You're correct or at least it's a future I've defined Whatever happens Whoever dies in battle whoever finds courage in war we will be left afterwards want to make money. Well, we wait I can curve.
I have no interest in going to warn myself. I've got soldiers for that. I feel like you're similar You're not designing blood on your hands. Do you I have no desire unless it's absolutely necessary Who makes that call I suppose the fate or Situation or however you wish to define it our actions have plunged the space sector into chaos or dozens more The more we kick up the more we loot the more we raid the more powerful we become our faction breathes and feeds on strife Are you willing to have that be your life?
For the next couple of weeks You've shown that you've been willing to help me with my endeavors. It's only fair that I return the favor Gather what you can't hear. I will come to liberate you soon together We will truly win the godful. I start looting the rest of the corpses and coffins Respectfully, I'm also going to return the coffins back to closed You know just as soon as I'm done that way if Shum and ease may comes in this room.
It will look like nothing happened You can you're like you're no wizard or anything, but you can feel a lot of these things have a lot of magical energy inside nice But you're you're feeling powerful just holding them I'm going to put a lot of them into my bag slash Coquets and I'm going to put the first thing that I found around my neck But like I'm going to tuck it down into the clothes Shum you've got an oncoming trap. It looks like a big tree trunk heading down the hallway Can I try to grow a vine wool to stop it? Absolutely. Go ahead.
Maybe roll under will just be careful. That could be a grandfather Plus five oh yeah, you absolutely stop it and in fact you can just basically stop it cold and then move on You know it's it's no stress at all. I'm gonna say you eventually you know you don't you do a few more traps But you eventually get down to the root of the pyramid in this room You can see there's a very very large what looks like a tree root coming down in the center of the room is may holds up the book You and says look at this thing look at it's glowing She kind of points it towards the group she flips up in the book and shows you that there's kind of an illustration of a room with a big Root in it, but she goes. I don't know any of this means can I investigate the book to see if I can figure anything out?
Yeah, sure go ahead make an investment Okay, you can see that in the book itself There's not a lot of information But the handprints on the back part of the book that are normally just sort of like a blank paper outline are glowing a break Green the closer that you hold it to the root can I put my hands on to the hand into the back sure as me goes Me too. I'm gonna put my hands on it The book flies out of your hands top you appears big green man He's covered in leaves and burns and everything and says you found it you found the shrine. I knew you could it's incredible It's a very dangerous plan. How did you get here without you know dying a lot of luck?
That looks things you know, what's up on the surface, right? Not really Why what's up there? Nothing good. I need your help to perform a ritual What ritual is it?
I'm gonna bring this plan up. I'm okay. I'm helping is me. Yeah, of course She goes what are we doing top you just looks at you both solemnly nods and says both of you place your hands upon the root I will do that she follows and top you begins to sing as soon as this may pick up the song She begins to hum and then she kind of nods at you Do you harm as well?
Yeah, I'm alone you see life slowly return to the root and not just the root But everything the vines that are hanging from the roof that were once dead and withered or filled with life now They're treated into the right back into the stone He says this planet died because the gods neglected it they neglected your culture and they neglected your people I know I told you I was going to ask you for anything But I have to ask you for something now, Sean what put you need I need a herald. I need somebody who I can channel my power through There's certain things God's can't do that that you can't and I thought I could sit this wore out But I mean why decide to join now if you could sit if you had the option to stop full Maybe this can help and he picks a grasp at nothing and then pulls what looks like a part of reality away And you see him a large man walk through that portal About nine or ten foot tall elephant head Forearms he's writing a rat and in each hand he's holding something different He's a tough skin wand a lotus and another plate full of snacks and in the third and for the fourth He seems to be holding a city in a bottle. He emerged from the portal and says hello. My name is Ganesha I am top you are trying to stop this work from getting started in the first place I'd like to introduce to you my herald and then our Lou steps out of the portal our Lou Can you give the crowded description of what you look like and what you're doing?
Our Lou is a Perpily skinned humanoid alien I'm kind of lavenderish fairly short jet black hair wearing a cloak Kind of made out of white fur with a good kind of like a hood cape their eyes are solidly blue like a sky blue Ganesha brings one of their arms over to you and gives you your city. You want to put that back on its chain? It's pretty small probably about the size of my hand It's just like a classic ship in a bottle type model a little corking it Shum Ganesha says to you. This is our Lou Our Lou's planet was eradicated.
It was well there their entire species host to a horrible plague I wish to bring them back as well and Tobi I wish us to do the same for you Unfortunately, there are many bad gods many bad gods that want this war and As such we need people who are willing to try to stop it I don't want to sit in some of the sanded throne and rule over others. I wish to remove the obstacles in your life Shum we need people like you that we can trust to do the right thing And this may says don't look at me if we can stop what is going on from happening then sure I'll do everything I can't help He nods and says I know that this was not a decision that you made about serious thought and I appreciate that Allow me to show you something that I think will bring you hope He waves his hands around into some magic and he shows you a planet And as the planet kind of comes into focus it zooms into the surface of the planet and you can see about a thousand Sanne Working in a gray concrete labor camp Seems like they don't talk to each other dead behind the eyes It's moving boxes from here to there. That B.O. says to you you wanted to know where the rest of you people were right?
Yes, they're there It was doing this to them. This is the regular corporation the regular corporation goes from planet to planet Galaxy to galaxy scooping up entire civilizations and bringing them into the for-profit model Your people have likely been part of this corporations for hundreds of years generations have passed They would remember nothing but they're clearly sounded and we can liberate them together. Yes Yes, let's let's do that as soon as possible His may looks up and goes me. Okay.
Arlo. Ganesha turns and looks at you and says are you prepared help as well? Yeah Super prepared. Yeah.
I do you need anything. Would you like a snack and he puts a tray of food underneath your face? I grab a handful Oh delicious dates and then Ganesha while he's eating kind of looks up at topio and nods and topio says I can I can give you the coordinates just get back to your ship before something bad happens You don't want brain sport to catch you. Do I want to know what a brain spore is a brain spore is an ancient god an elder god Happens to be a part of our pantheon, but that's the point I'm making I can't work with Monsters and brain spores a monster an elder fungus god that can nestle inside the brains of others stitched them back to life Write them around like marionettes when I say stop the god where I don't mean make sure our pantheon wins, Sean I mean Defeating monsters like this.
We might have to even fight the Valkyrie that gives us our orders I've already agreed to it. It's not like you can go back on an agreement with a god. So Just go up to the top be safe. Okay, do we need to go?
Kita looks like he just shot you with what you would not recognize it but a normal human gun That is minus one on the dice. So plus four he managed to dodge out of the way you see him as dray shoots instantly reloading I'm going to because I would have the sort of a matter of suit with me I'm going to slightly open that see if I can summon her if you slightly open it She'll kind of like float above your head and just go like yes, what do you need? These guys called me wisdom pantheon scum. I Assume that's got something to do with the god war.
Yeah, I guess technically we're part of the wisdom pantheon Whatever brandy we've been given but our goal is simply to ensure that humankind survives and lives in an orderly and lawful fashion It's all we want. Yeah, um, you know who these guys are they are not friendly. You need to get out of there Kita. Yep I'm on that.
This is a sentient fungus god Even your your breathing is not safe He's gonna turn around and just book it the woman dressed in supermodel clothes She stretches her arms out after you like mr. Fantastic or plastic man And as you see her stretching out you can see her legs are also stretching out She's kind of becoming large and spindly like a spider. She's walking on all fours coming after you That's horrifying. I'll turn around I'll switch to my offensive stance and I will try to grab one of her limbs and just like whip it So that she falls over go ahead and make me a physical and then a fight roll It's a plus four for physique And a plus six for fight not only did you grab her and whipper?
She was super light because it seems like she can't adjust her own density So you kind of threw like a frisbee across the field the guy in the ball of clava and black outfit takes out a sniper rifle and dicks A shot you but rolls horribly and it totally goes best. I'm gonna do something Strangely stupid. I'm gonna pull out the professor perfect. It's going I'm gonna try and shoot at him.
Make me a shoot roll Zero Okay, he wrote the zero as well. So it hits him but he doesn't get hurt But the back splash of energy lights the field on fire Oh, cool Sorry, shan And he's gonna start booking it again. Go ahead make me a nose roll Is a plus two you can hear the guy that you shot with the gun His name is black side. He's choking and hacking and coughing from the smoke So even though it sounded like you know, you weren't really talking to a human being seems like the flesh is still kind of frail Just gonna keep running ignore him go ahead and make me two athletics rolls Uh Four minuses said be a minus one.
It's a bit better that be Plus two You're trying to get away, but your ankle gets snagged by the ultramodel the stretching lady She grabs your ankle and starts dragging you towards the brushfire and trying to throw you in it Go ahead and make me a physique roll to break out of her grip There's a plus two Okay, you managed to break her grip. Although she's still kind of like tied around you for history The black site is too busy coughing and can't do anything. So it's right back up I'm going to try and wrestle her over to the fire and try and see if I can get her to start coughing packing up Physique and then fight Plus five per physique That would be a plus nine for fight Holy shit You slip out from under her grasp and then judo throw her into the fire And you notice that she's made out of a polymer. So she's melting Again, that's horrifying You can hear from the blob that used to be ultramodel a really gross voice saying this is just you know This is just cosmetic a key to it's just cosmetic your friend quiver thought he did a number two What the hell did you do to quiver?
I'm reunited with some old friends. Do some of his old friends too. What do you care? He's my teammate.
She starts rolling over to you when you're talking. It's like a big blob that's on fire He says brin spore is coming for you. I can I can feel my spores in your lungs. It's only a matter of time, okay?
Loving arms Yeah, how about no you lunches for you the big flesh blob lunches for you. I've got an acrobatics plus two Yeah, you men are just successfully rolled out of the way I'm gonna ask him out to rass you if she's still out She said I've been watching the whole time you're fighting bravely, but I don't know why would there be any way to kill these spores No, he says all this time, kita And he's I guess i'm just gonna start running I can't do anything then screw it Shaman arlo you're making your way out of the temple on the second floor the first floor and arlo you feel a big spike in magical energy before you get to that first floor There's a lot of magic up there any idea the source is it godly or oh, there's godly magic all over this planet It's all got stuff be careful. We don't really know what that brain spore can do Probably nothing good. Yeah, it'll all get worse if we wait, right?
Sure Things just get worse than their own Is makes us if we're not comfortable. We can just leave the planet. I think we got what we wanted rich on I'm not a fan of our arch, but everyone else. I don't want to just leave them here Well, she goes.
Why don't we just like climb into the ship then? Maybe we can get a better calm signal or something Can I do magic stuff to see through walls? Oh, make me a magic stuff role, which is well That's a plus seven so you can cast a spell and then see through the walls I'm gonna look through these walls. See if I can see anyone else in this pyramid The only brother person you see is mirage who is currently climbing up a large ventilation shaft They think I've the sandaled Say, uh, there's a cat person in the event over there Yeah, that doesn't surprise me.
So All right. Yeah, let's wait on the ship. We can try and get in touch and pick up anyone who needs it Roger and bone star you two get dropped off in a big grove. There's a lot of petrified flowers petrified trees When bone star lands he kind of looks around and does a big sniffing noise Once there would use now my friend.
It smells like radiation right here. You know, I mean Just like radiation. I like lassa Mmm. Mmm.
Delicious. Mmm. Mmm Radiation just delightful. It is right that way any points to the east and you recognize that that's towards one of the coordinates you're good Does this does not seem so good But the we are here for this purpose to check this out.
No, you have rad stuff in your suit right for it I mean I do but no one ever wants to use that kind of thing, you know, well put the red pants on Let's go see what's going on, man. Well, how often do you get to wear special pants? Okay, okay? I will put on my bread pants.
You got the rad helmet. You got the red So it's basically just like a mode in your suit bone stars. Just like I'll follow the way How are you feeling about all this stuff or it is like pretty while right? Let's got ship it is I mean, I've seen many unusual things in my travels, but nothing quite like this.
Yeah, man I don't know it's all fucked up. It's been fucked up from day one Then he kind of looks over and he goes right there And he points to what seems to be like an invisible part of the grove You can't see it because it's radiation and you have to turn your specialty visors on Okay And engaging the visor You realize that you're probably seeing something different than bone stars. You're seeing what looks to be like a little infant baby That's a fuck Formless and shapeless, but it's got arms and legs and head It's just glowing with this divine energy So does someone unusual thing to find? One star are you seeing this?
What are you talking about? What? I I think I see a pretty bebe but it is made out of light What in the radiation cloud? Yes, it just looks like a big old cloud to me.
Don't see no baby Okay, I see you So I will go over to the bebe Do you get close enough to touch it? Yes, so if my suit is not throwing up the alarms Your suit is throwing up the alarms, but not like you're gonna die soon alarms But more like wow this suit is kind of stressed out right now. Okay. I will proceed with caution I will speak to his baby.
I say hello to the bebe What are you doing here by yourself? And the baby just goes But when they make that little noise your brain reverberates Ah my brain You feel flooded with magical energy? The baby just then kind of looks up at you I feel uh There's a warm chemical sift sift Sift love my brain and I feel great love and affection for you, baby You can hear Michelle inside of your suit saying uh they're all divine energy for a dirt It's all like divine like I know it looks like radiation, but that's just pure baby power Wow, this is baby is very powerful What is he doing? Like what are we why is there a baby?
I don't know I presume that there is a person or a pie, but uh, I do not know this This is the first powerful baby god that I've ever met, you know The baby makes another noise to you And you can see you get like flashes of history You see the the way that the god was born. It's like born from a god seed That leaves out and forms into some sort of humanoid shape That essentially just happens spontaneously randomly like no sense of reason to it But you know why the baby it was born. It's just it's a naturally occurring thing There's not there for any purpose or reason and you feel comfortable you want to keep the baby safe Want you This is an untriable event I I will pick up the baby You feel that sort of like magical warmth everywhere over your body I think also I hope this is not radiation Michelle says it doesn't look like it in fact all the radiation specs have gone down since you picked up the baby Oh cool. It's the baby.
It's nervous. It's the radiation Well, it just seems like maybe the baby was scared and now it's not Okay, well, this is good. I do not know what I will do with the baby But uh this seems better than leaving it by itself, no? Michelle thinks about it and says I have always wanted to raise a child with you Michelle Oh, we not talked about this before.
Oh, I thought we did or were you worked up on food again? uh But uh Regardless of circumstance, but I would be very honored to have a baby with you Because the love of my life and this would be the most passionate project of my entire life Primal and I think we should keep this baby safe Yes, I agree With that the baby forms a harness like a harness spontaneously forms around you these bonds of cosmic light You carry the baby close to you. It's kind of wrapped around your suit and crossed across your chest From uh, see baby beyond Your entire field of vision is filled with light for 10 15 20 seconds. You can't even see anything But then it comes back down and you notice you're carrying the baby on your chest and you can see bone star He's about a hundred feet away from you and he's stood perfectly still That's it's unusual for him There seems to be a large black snake Curling up his legs up in through his chest cavity He is whimpering and crying and you can hear him say Forager help friend.
You're a friend You're a friend Shit And then you can see the snake rear up and take a huge bite into bone star sun Thank you The sun becomes flooded with a black shadow And it collapses into a black hole Oh shit The snake is wrapped inside of his skeleton and the serpent raises above bone star's head and says I knew someone would take the bait And I was very hungry for a son now. I'm hungry for a baby I'm going to charge my rocket boots and try to get too far out of here You can see the bone stars head has become a black hole. It's sucking in parts of reality around it Go ahead and make me an acrobatics world to get away Uh, so that is a five You managed to dodge the gravitational pull of a new spring off But you noticed that he's still shambling towards you as soon as you fly away from me starts walking towards you I regret everything but uh, I must leave him behind him. I must go The snake is screaming at you to embrace the void embrace the void embrace the darkness Give me the child give me the child.
Oh, thank you. Goodbye They go ahead and release an enormous laser from the center of the black hole go ahead and make me roll, uh to dodge Okay, yep, you managed to dodge As you're rolling out of the way you can hear him talking saying I am a pep devour of light killer of sons and raw here's no prayers in space Run run While you're running you see a vision in the distance Kind of on the horizon sun setting see a figure standing against it She's tall with multiple arms hearing swords in each one She gestures towards you. It says forage or come Uh, all right. I will go with the unusual woman.
What should you get up here? You see she's blue skin six arms sword in each hand demonic teeth And she says you I do not know how you have discovered the new child the 12th throne But you are now or it's protector And I am here to protect you Should you agree To help me? I do Is this baby is no my son? I am bound to him She says you'll have nothing to worry about And you disappear You know you are actually fighting and running at the same time But you eventually make it to where you can see the ship on the horizon I'm gonna try and reach whoever's on the ship over the comms So we got trouble down here.
There's this brain sport thing. It's attacking me Been fighting it for like the past hour. It's just been keep chasing me I think I might be infected. I don't know what to do about that Mirage, I'm gonna say you get this community.
Even though you're about Five minutes from getting out of that get to the ship. We'll deal with it then All of you can hear that crystal clear It's plugged into the ship Oh this? Okay Yeah, so both you and his making here as well And she goes Is he giving guns on the ship? Can we shoot it?
Uh whether they're guns, I can't really do that. I'm not good Okay, well, shit. All right. Well, I'm gonna go out and try to help him then I can't just sit here.
She kind of runs out the door And I will follow after All righty Mirage, enough time passes that you get up You're kind of up at the same time that you see as me and Sean exiting the ship and running towards the Gita I'm gonna yell at them. Why not use the weapons on the ship? Can't use them Like actually personally unable Fine, fuck and I run towards the ship to get it powered up and to be able to use the weapons to provide cover fire Okay, as soon as you walk in you are confronted with Arlo Who the fuck are you? Why do we keep picking up strays?
Every time I get on the ship, there's a new person on this fucking ship You're coming straight. You're the one that's a cat You weren't originally here. Therefore we are picking up strays also Pull out a gun and just like and point it directly at you Say that again and I will fucking shoot you in the face And then I just run past towards the cockpit of the carcass and I turn it on because I don't really know the other ship too well Yeah, it's gonna take you a minute or two to get it up and running Arlo What do you do while you this grumpy cat goes to operate the ship? So it's the brain sport thing like within visual of us Like or is the key to far off still?
From your perspective his magical energy is like everywhere It's like a bust the figures you're looking for are probably a couple of seconds behind the key to and there are also several figures Similarly a couple miles away I think we're getting surrounded There is also one tiny signature You really it's really unusual it seems to be divine but a weird divinity chaos magic slowly scraping its way across the ground I think I would run outside. I'd be following Sean Sean is may Arlo you're heading towards a key then you all meet up together You're probably a good 500 feet from the ship Right behind him. You can see what he's talking about There seems to be a stretchy plastic human who is melting and bubbling all over the place As well as a human in all black like special ops gear carrying weapons And they both look like they have had the living ship beat out of them But don't really care don't care at all completely unperturbed I'm gonna try and time bend them to slow them down like slow time around them Go ahead. Make me a little roll.
Oh, that's just a plus four Go ahead and tell me what does it look like when you cast magic? Much of the lights and stuff shoot out from around my hands multiple colors Think time stuff probably blue So everyone else can see the two humans that have been approaching you are suddenly slowed in time By this mysterious blue energy pouring out of Arlo's hands The blue or forms around them that basically stuck in time. There's not really much more to do So then run Yeah, just start heading back to the ship thing quickly. All right.
That was cool. Who the hell are you? We have to get out of here All right, my name's Arlo. All right.
Nice to meet you on Makita. Let's go On your descent back to the ship You can see that the melody is parked right next to it as well a portal opens over the melody And the large sheriff that had detained you on Colosseum world falls out of the portal along with a large robotic dinosaur What looks like a Roman centurion and a inventor lady surrounded by gadgets with a large backpack He kind of screams out to the rest of you. Why did you think you would be able to escape brain spore? And then starts attacking the melody trying to tear it apart with his bare hands.
Can I use the ship's weapons yet? Oh, yeah Okay, I'm going to point it at the sheriff directly and just shoot him in the face That's a plus six total. I'll make a roll for him. How about a critical failure?
Yay So not only do you shoot him you basically vaporize his ass and whatever he was doing to the ship is No, plugger happening. It seems like the ship that he was on the melody is may ship is probably too beat up to fly But mirage you kind of just say the day. All right. I'm gonna get on the columns Does anyone have eyes on the other one the human?
No, I haven't seen quiver and we still haven't heard back from bone star or far. I got a tech by these guys. I don't know what happened to him Morage go ahead make me notice roll three There's an instrument on the ship. You can use to track the comms Forgers and bone stars comms have completely disappeared Quivers comm seems to be like 50 feet away from the ship in a field Is it on the way of the others or is it in the opposite direction?
It's in the opposite direction. It's like it's avoiding the fight entirely Roll me a piloting or driving roll Sure, holy shit. That's a critical success. Oh my god The AI says to you mirage would you like to take control of the ship?
Yes You manage to get the ship lifting off the ground and you can use the tractor beam on the ship now that you know It's there that you're using the piloting bones there never will want anyone else getting near the controls You can just track or beam these people up into your ship. Oh, I do that. Okay So you track your beam everybody up including quiver when quiver is tractor beam down to the ship you can see his shirt's been taken off his pants been taken off He's got googly eyes drawn on him with permanent markers And he seems to be completely knocked out. I don't even want to know one last view of this planet You can look down and you can see that one of these superheroes omnipacks is trying to fly up into orbit to prevent you from breaking free Go ahead and make me a pilot rolling roll in a shoot roll.
I'm gonna do shoot first two And pilot that is also a two so you actually managed to dart him in the head with a gun He goes down like a fly or an ant or something falling out of this guy Just as you escape orbit you can see up in the sky This whole place is on the ship people are warring or openly fighting their spaceships warring each other You just got caught in the middle of an intergalactic war and that's a click here here on episode 21 of nebulis nights Now my name is jay.
