Tidefall E7 (3/3)

from Des Moines and Dragons · host Paul Privitera

Last time on Tidefall... After the long and tense journey to the Tortoise, Flip had a plan. He was going to make a new gang in remembrance of Salt. #Saltgang. He started with Joe and Uriah. But things took a twist after their arrival. Not ten minutes after docking, Flip just casually ran into Salt. Queue the biggest kid grin from Flip. Turns out, Salt just fell into the ocean. He made a good Shark snack, but thankfully some fellows known as "The Children of Yantis" happened to find him. They thankfully kept our boy alive, and even gave him a replacement arm (not a nice one... but it works). While stationed with them, Salt ran into an old friend of his, Maximus. Now to people who don't remember, Max was the first Revenant Salt ever met. He was also someone that Salt left for dead. So skipping forward, the Children of Yantis tasked Maximus, Nell the thief, and Salt to find out what the Brass Guild is doing. So our heroes got pulled into this cultist plan. So it's stakeout time. Hera went in sneaky, Salt kept lookout, all while Flip and #Saltgang were ready to be a distraction. Hera listened in, found out about some dastardly plan that happens in 2 weeks. Leah (the lady who threw a bomb at Flip) was also there, overseeing everything while looking for our trouble making heroes. After Leah left, Maximus got cold feet and enacted the distraction plan. A few explosions and one knocked out Maximus later, Hera ran at Leah and revealed herself as a potential ally to the Brass Guild. What will happen next? Find out, now.

Final part of episode what seven six whatever at episode heavy. It's yeah. Yeah, seven so you guys are at the table You've offered the piece branch Like I slept on a metal floor and it was cold and it was hard And I just love beds I think I love you guys Yeah, keep the audience So so grabs be good. He's like sorry.

I tried a man handling don't give that to me The gestures over to flop. I think you owe him a little bit more than you want me But he just starts devouring others to our right sphere Herad kind of like she stands up and she doesn't say anything and she kind of walks over and She just kind of like ultimately she kind of claps her hand on his shoulder and then she just says nothing and walks away Okay, like it's understood that you've given your approval. That's yeah. Yeah Ultimately like in the non-words like it was clearly like a good job kid And it's just understood as like yeah, if you're paying attention, you see just like the smallest here Also because night past everyone strain is knocked out It's probably good because there's maybe some strain is anyone missing health No surprisingly no, which is pretty incredible actually Yeah, everyone strain clears out and how long is this breakfast and is there any discussion as to what happened because at some point here?

I'm assuming you're gonna tell them more what's going on But when I guess when does that happen and is it during breakfast or what? Someone laid the scene what's going on so or if it's just a quiet half hour of you guys just eating that's fine too I think it's a quiet half hour of eating. I think flip makes this famous. I love bed speech The bed speech turned around the world and I think eventually kind of they congregate up in like I think people start like talking after that And like salt gang starts kind of moving around and things kind of start to go back to normal And I think eventually salt at some point Maximus and no would come down and they would probably They would grab a bit of the food if you're willing to give it to them when they show up I was like think fast and he throws both of them like a croissant.

Okay, I just want to see if they catch it I'm gonna do just a basic one of them is a dog person. So probably yeah, and the other one is a robot So my god, Nell fails. This is the good. This is what's wrong with ice.

Nell fails and Maximus succeeds So I think Nell's just not being done. It's like oh, it just hits him in the forehead. I said think that I'm sorry I'm not it's I have a coffee again. Oh, okay.

You some coffee So yeah fast forward to breakfast, you know, just sort of calm I think they take their food and then they go over another table. They're not pushing it with you guys But they know that some stuff's been going down. So they're kind of they're letting you guys do your thing with the screaming a little bit a little bit So yeah, what what happens how long how long you know half an hour of talk and it's a point of detail these guys more about what's actually I think at a certain point like salt and flip and hair I kind of go off to a corner And you're like quite like a professional section, you know, so they have kind of a moment. So here is it's down And says so Lee and I had a talk Um, it was not necessarily what I would say wait wait wait wait wait wait wait Wait wait wait wait wait wait wait who wait is here?

Lee is looking for us flip grabs his revolver Just spin it just like I'm ready. I Think I owe her a bit of metal and like Hera kind of like cuts him off and like puts her hand on a shoulder because now they're like Now she's assumed their relationship is totally repaired. She's like look we all do Hera is like okay Like of course because she was completely embarrassed but like no beside the point So she just kind of puts her hands on flip shoulder and it's like yeah, we all do but like I think salt interjects quickly If you want to hear it later, I got an interesting story about this tuned up hand arm And Leah the camera quickly like pans on her in hospital bed Just like Stuff and she's like pass out bloody like mess up and point me and para kind of introduction like Her leon I had a quick conversation before you know should happen with the arms Guns and words words were not enough apparently well conversation with the attender and with bad stuff happening right after well It didn't so the only thing that I got from her before things went south is that there was something happening in two weeks And that's it Think about that to do with those chasky bombs I mean, that's the only thing we have unless we're totally missing information. I mean which is possible That's what this whole place is for right as far as you know But leah was our only source of information so far and no offense to Asshole and other asshole but like you know, that's the only information that we have and that's the only information we are gonna get Unless we go off on our own and figure something out, but I don't know that we told no I'm sorry I said asshole and other asshole was that not clear normally when you say asshole and ask we talk about these other two guys And she's just like come on keep up asshole another asshole.

I still think she's talking about us Both assholes, right? So I think this whole time like Why we're the only same people so I think self-entaking whatever pastries are left and like Flapping just like as a pastry because you feel really fucking bad He can go off his diet for a while. Okay. It's diet of trash food He deserves it.

That's fair So, so are we not telling them I Hera kind of feels bad, but she doesn't want to like destroy the new truth But she's like she thinks so she kind of like looks over to salt and she's like Salt I hate to tell you this but I think your friends are assholes. I don't trust them Well, we're kind of all assholes, right? That's not really enough of a reason to discount somebody other than the fact that they're weird freaks who like are in a weird cult You called me a freak not like three days ago. Am I wrong?

No Look, we don't know anything more than one freak at this table now. Hey, so that's just one arm Mr. Get over it. Yeah, some of us here have been freaks for much longer than that.

See that hurts. What do you do that? So here I just kind of makes a frustrated noise and she's like look okay. Here's what we've got two weeks It's the brass gilled.

I'm completely out of the brass gilled apparently and Leah is in the hospital. That's all we've got. Is that enough to go on? Okay, she's in the hospital Let's just say this nice little tuna bar or too much.

I would get in my arm might have really far. Hey, here's the deal Maybe she's dead. We don't know flip-reaches his hand across the table for a fist bump Yeah We've got nothing Yeah, well they're evil Evil is super relative. It might be worth trying to see what they do have people call me evil Hera just kind of like makes a with throws her arms up.

Fine. Whatever. Let's see what they know Lips. I mean we don't have any information.

So something's better than nothing. Let's see what they know and Who the hell can pull and she just gets flustered Okay, I think at that they You guys have started talking about her and they come over and it's like so asshole everyone's an asshole We and they look maximus looks to salt. He's like so we we get welcome to asshole gang It's uh, I need to not expect it. Let's go talk and then they head back towards the room where all this started Everyone goes um to salt gang join you guys.

Yeah, okay Just like as soon as they walk in she just like she bites her tongue ultimately, but like oh man She's pissed. I keep no secrets himself. Okay. So we got our heroes.

We got the cults as we got We can just say our heroes. Okay Everyone is so hero now that I think about it Every time I use the word heroes describe you guys we did just put a gun at a dog It gets harder and harder every time throw a ante on the front of it Let me pull up flops character sheet because it still says here. Oh, oh, oh, so The protagonist this whole time here. Oh, yeah, here.

Oh, so back in the room. I think maximus. It's down like crossing things. Okay.

So What's going on? What do you know? I would like to know what you know. Let me let you know who we know.

Yeah Roll me a persuade check. You've got two blue dice because you got two people helping out difficulty to do that a deception Uh Is that a leadership? I I'll I think I could really rack a leadership negotiation Everybody pick a different scale. It sounds like a negotiation.

Yeah, you're trading info for info, but you've got two blues get your helpers Against two purtle We are looking at one disadvantage for advantage and one success. Okay, so it's a net three advantage and success Yes, what's that advantage if you first off? Oh boy? So you know looking at him like he hasn't got that asshole shit eating green like he usually has and I think they're guard lowers And they start to share information.

Okay, and they're like more more forthcoming just you know meet us in the middle sort of okay? So yeah, he crosses arms like okay. So here's me. No Our uh our leader father Richard.

He sent us out here to try to figure out what's going on They know that something is happening. They don't know when and they don't know what it is but there's been rumors of I don't know. There's there's talk that there's something happening. What is uh, what is uh, what is What does father Richard know about this vessel and what the braskill they're doing?

Kara just like can't keep it together and she just sits down with her like face of hands like oh my god I can't do it with us. So I think they look at they look at flippin they give him this weird like what is this kid? What what's going on on the tortoise? So The tortoise as far as we know is just one of the larger brass gill chips They Have a pretty big following here.

I don't know if you can tell but there's a lot of them So when assault here can't happen. There's too many of them ships. We can handle ships We can sneak in but here all we can do is gather information maybe blow some things up here and there But this is not we're not gonna win here. This is just a place.

It's a this is the breast city Basically, but what are they doing here? We're not sure we just know whatever they're doing here is big because there's a lot of them How can I do like an insight to see if they're hiding anything sure? Yeah, or whatever perception I think it is. Oh, yeah, go for it Is awareness once per I think it is blue and as to pointable.

All right, we're looking at two successes That was one disadvantage Oh, thank god. Yeah, that wasn't really bad two successes two advantage against three threat. Okay, so it's one threat to success Okay, so I think the threat is Um, they're they're giving you and I think this is a follow-up from you trying to sound cool and tell they they just they give you this look And that look sort of under view and I'm gonna be black dice sure so they're like they're staring down and they're like but You're trying to get triggered with how much information they're trying to see if they're withholding. Okay, they're not as of right now They are kind of in the dark and the big thing that you're realizing is they are regretting sending hair in instead of sending nail or maximus in They put a little bit more trust in you guys than they initially wanted now They're like they're trying to give as much information to give as much back because they know that's like, why did we not send one of us in there?

You know, a story of our lives. Yeah, so flip sort of gestures back to the group So that's what we know what do you know other than Leah's looking for y'all hair just blirts out two weeks There's something happening in two weeks. We don't know I fucked up and we didn't say anything, but I heard her say something and whatever two weeks. That's all we know two weeks And she just kind of starts mom like they like being down two weeks.

Okay. Okay, two weeks That's a question. I know guys super helpful. You're welcome.

I know it's my fault and then she just yeah She just starts muttering in the corner. Okay, so we've got two weeks to figure out what it is and then well stop it Quick question though. Yeah, does it really matter? Like why can't we just you know who gives a shit?

It's the weird tortoise boat like what are really the consequences if we just like pack up and leave now? I got a ship. I stole it. It's mine.

Like can't we just leave and forget about it? I mean, yeah, but then whatever they're doing is gonna just happen and the brass guild is dangerous So the brass guild is the brass guild and sometimes they get a little bit above their heads But it's fine. They'll figure it out and really though. Are they any more dangerous than say, I don't know You or you know I think at first they're like playing like when you say you they like their eyes narrow and they just they look at you and they Before this I'm going any further.

They're making bombs, but bombs Carriage's rolls her eyes Show them the bomb. She pulls like she plays along. I think she feels really bad So she just is she's doing what you can to like kind of get flip on her side a little bit But like she's gonna she wants to get on flip side I think so she pulls out her little horse chotchky and she's had with and she she kind of like tosses it like dangerously like Yeah, she kind of like she's like think fast and she like tosses it to now Like they grab it. They like what the fuck yeah, and then she's testing now a little bit She's like okay weird freak dog boy who we don't know anything about Tossing it and inspecting it.

Don't blow yourself up like this is a bomb. Oh, yeah I mean, I guess technically we don't really know how to do residual burns on you from last time No after my visit with Bill Bobby Supposed we could find some more like and she gets halfway through like saying like innocent like people to throw bombs at and she just kind of stops Okay, so they're making bombs and something's happened in two weeks. That's what we know. That's what we know.

Look grabs at his arm Okay, I think we need to message back to base figure out what's going on, but we can't we can't leave we gotta figure out more we gotta I mean we could leave here like that's still an option. I'm just saying I think they look down and they look back up to Assault Technically what was tasked with you guys really you was to help us figure out what's Figure what they're doing and what they're doing is they're trying to react a plan in two weeks If you want to leave And he like he chronic like you know wipes his hand like you want to leave fine you guys can leave Consider great done. I'm out consider your death to us repaid if you want to stay and help us figure what's going on We would greatly appreciate it, but something's happening here something big Here's got her hand on the door like great. Come on guys.

Let's go. We don't have to get involved in this anymore than we already are We already are I'm pretty deep Are you serious now if you guys want to stay on the tortoise believe these guys that's also an option You just like blow everybody up. That is an option. I think that might be what they're trying to do Hair looks at so there who I think the brass killer looking to do something Big yeah, that's what we're here for is to try to stop whatever they're doing if they're making bombs that look like toys That fuck does that?

I think this is the part where you guys definitely know who initially started doing this was like the old Guy who ran that factory from you know a few weeks back at this point for the key rose but 20 million up is yeah, it was I mean yeah, I was Less baker was the name of that foreman and he disappeared a few months be here. No a few years back he disappeared Harry groans and is like fine What I mean, I guess we could go see Leah and see if maybe she's a little bit more talkative And maybe she was before when I maybe tried to talk to her and maybe gave her brain damage Maybe gave a very good But she might say if we gave her if we gave her over to the guards, maybe she still had some sort of public hospital I guess we could maybe well it was it was specifically brass guild guards. It wasn't like So she's probably got a brass guild hospital and you guys would know that they've got their own hospitals so of course they do Because they're efficient and good at running things they are there we go. You've been pretty quiet over there salt Yeah No one has no one has anything against the brass guild as much as you do you're ready Where where are you at on this?

I agree they need to be stopped. Yeah, but I don't know that I'm on board Undoing it like basically doing the same thing And they look at you like what do you mean? You just said assault interesting for a science group. You just said we'll have to blow some stuff up There's a lot of civilians nearby Brass guild or not.

There's still people. Yeah, whatever they're doing to be worse. It'll be a lot worse. Good being I just hope you're right Ships coming in There's an airplane.

Yeah, so In case it's not audible on the actual recording right so where's that leave us all? Shits going down We do nothing something happens. We do something something happens You enter out And he looks to salt he looks to Hera looks to flip and this is all Maximus Nell's kind of in the back Just mostly staying quiet at this point because he's kind of done like most of those people with Maximus because Nell's kind of like He was just talking about he's trying to keep calm. That's what he say I think everybody looks to salt he holds his hand out to shake in or out Do the children of Gantis make revenants?

Well, that's a random question Hera is kind of like what the fuck do the children of Gantis make revenants salt? Saw some stuff and That sounds familiar to what dr. Bill Bobby was talking about and okay if I Here's the deal kid. Roll me a persuade jack Damn it.

I can't give it to you for sure. I think like I think uh salt's gonna like answer again. I'm gonna upgrade one of those dice All right, is that there's some pretty persuasive salt? There's not a persuade there's charm coercion deception leadership negotiation.

Yeah Which one of those? How what is it you're doing? It sounds like you're just it sounds like coercion. It sounds like you're like tell me okay And salt is over there like glaring at him too.

Yeah, it's all good at helping with coercion So I see take a blue from him. Okay, we'll do two so two purple but I use a story point to upgrade one of those. Yeah You know red okay when I activate my special ability to steal another one back. Okay, I'll upgrade Okay, so you're upgraded so two yellows a red upper bowl blue and a black okay We actually had every every die until I upgraded the green.

Yes lots of chance recruits here. Let's see if it works We're on we're gonna robot knuckles. Okay, okay, so that's three failures in two successes Bummer and one advantage in two dissipators. So what a disadvantage in two in one failure.

Yeah, so just advantage Here's the deal good You stick with us see this through Answer any questions you want to get about joining ante some revenants for now Much more important things on our hands than who does it does not make revenants Heron the background just makes like a huge like oh like I can't believe That would like that's such a bullshit answer and she looks at oh yeah It's a hundred percent of a flip and she like specifically makes like an effort to use like the name flip as opposed to like dumbass kid Or like whatever and she's like flip is this one of the first times you've actually called him flip I think it might be And that's that stands out to flip. Yeah, I think it's like flip Like You gotta know that this is bullshit. Like if you really want answers like salt and I we would be here if we didn't want to help you get answers Like but like there's no way in hell you can't believe this bullshit. They're clearly feeding you a line Yeah, okay I mean, yeah, that's a line, but we got shit to do.

Sorry kid. I think salt looks at him And take sand we're in but if you don't give the kid your answers you'll pay for it I know you punch me enough. I know what's gonna run out talking function hair last Hair is like very uncomfortable in the back. Yeah, yeah, yeah Just it just to stare down for a few seconds of you know salt and max was just like anime stairs Yeah, which flip like raises his right hand and looks at it and then makes eye contact and then It does like the little stand out a little bit and you like crank it up.

Yeah, hair is not one of these weird freaks that has like You're just like a person. Yeah, she just like crosses her arms and like leans against the door And just is like she just shrugs like no no fucking fight me Okay, so we got just not two weeks something's going on you guys are gonna stay and you're gonna help us What uh what now I'll be perfectly honest and he's looking at salt when he says this I don't know if I go on missions out with you. I kind of just want to Every I don't watch anymore. Just do your thing.

We'll be here. We'll do our stuff. You do your stuff We just you know hold his hands out independent that we're working together. I'll share my information.

Show your information works for me Sounds good. Okay. Good for everyone else. No one's gonna fight or shoot each other or Drunken brawl or oh well Says the kid Youth and horrible horrible influences and sad families.

That's kind of our game. Yeah, it's sort of our thing. Okay Well, so you guys in a few days You like nods what do you guys do? What's what's next?

What's the plan? There is no plan I feel like at this point our only lead is going to see if we can find yeah I mean you got lea and then you also know like where the factory is but the factory is deep in enemy territory, right? Right after the riot like I'm sure is really riled up right? Yeah, so I think it might and like you could give it a few days But again every day you wait like there's a block on block right?

Well, it's was too easy yesterday. So it's you know, you know, just and I'm tracking days now in the calendar. So Lea's not the only one that knows what's going on, right? I mean, she's the only one we have no where have access to so there was at that meeting was lea and then there was that boss man And boss man had a bodyguard.

Do we know anything about how we would follow them? Say we don't have any we don't know you know what they look like I could train something up So you've got you got names so you know that they were referring to boss man as Name And then his bodyguard was uh borbert dand over big dude with the black jacket so you've got cob and borbert I guess What's our like complete motive like our ammo at this point is like let's find a bar And drink until we're dangerously incapacitated and then so I think it might be worthwhile for gear up a little bit Flip if I can interest you and modify my arm a little bit more. That sounds good. I've got some ideas for my own cool I think here I kind of like interjects at this point and says hey, do you want one?

Fuck off. No shut up. Uh and then she just kind of I think this conversation happens as you guys are like leaving this room to go to one of your own Personal room so they're not talking with yeah again. They just want to fuck out do your thing We're back in a couple days so here at like guys are getting out into the hallway like heading back towards you know Whoever's in this closest probably sawed and she's like okay look so this is the point where normally I would be like hey I'm gonna go talk to people but I think There's a chance that with lea and everything I think kind of all of the contacts that I have at this point Maybe a little bit burned so I don't know that I have a lot to contribute at this point Normally I would go and see if I can scrunge up some some brass guild Kind of information points, but I think this close to somebody who was actively hunting us.

Yeah, I think I'm kind of Less useful than I would be. Well, I got access to to former brass guild who no one knows about They're not being hunted. They're stupid though. They did get you 82 credits last time.

You guys are you guys stupid? I don't know anymore. She keeps calling a stupid. They just been there the whole time.

I don't know she's so mean She's so mean, but that's it's okay. I think she means it's good by it I have a very dirty ship Joe and Uriah go and clean it. We cleaned it twice last week. Sorry.

It just needs to be done again. Go Do we do we have to listen to her? Just for now. I'll come get you.

Okay. Just go. It's okay. If you hear anything at the port Remember it be useful.

She like just call it up. It's like gotcha one of us will clean the ship and other will be lookout The one of you get out of it. It's a strong one. They're smart.

I'll let you figure out which one later and the two of them take off They're good. They're good kids. Anyways, my point is I'm worthless and I have nothing to contribute and I don't know I can't help at this point. There any nobility in island like this?

This dumb fuck bum nowhere like I doubt it I mean I guess I can like is there like a mayor or something? I mean or like some sort of like Constantly, basically there isn't a huge governor presence here Yeah, it's one of those towns that it was a very small town that the brass guild sort of built up So normally there would be a mayor, but the brass guild kind of push out any of the normal government bodies here So if the mayor is probably that honestly, it's like a real cop guy, right? But he's you know one of the targets, right? So yes and no to answer that question Because yeah, you've seen very very few guards very few anyone that's either either either a normal civilian or their brass Is there like a rich part of town?

Oh, definitely You could start their hair and maybe drum up away from anything to that hospital. I think her is like, okay Hera first of all is good. I'm very sorry for herself. She's like, I'm just I'll go shopping or whatever I'll go look for dumb pretty things and like I don't know.

She's like maybe buying costumes is a thing you could definitely do. Yeah, hera is just like Fine. She's gonna go Go buy pretty things and see if she can find somebody you got 82 credits. You didn't have before so yeah All of a sudden she's feeling rich, but man, only she had known Okay, so it sounds like throughout this day.

Hera is gonna go buy things to is it mostly just disguises or ways to I mean I feel like to be real here. It's mostly just retail therapy. Okay Like are you doing anything like drastically change your appearance like her cut or nothing like that I think it's mostly just like looking for like maybe some basic supplies and then also maybe you know Some clothes and some general disguise or things that you can just whatever does he want by just give me a hand I mean you gotta suffer like some tea. Yeah, you know sometime in the afternoon.

Okay. You got some relaxing time. Take the do you want to take flop with you? Yes, he's got a carrying bags.

Yeah, and she's like she's like it's like kind of a second where she's about to say no Like don't be ridiculous like I don't need flop and then she just kind of pauses and she's like Yes, come with me flop. Let's go. Okay, and then yeah flop is off. Yeah, okay, and then what is it that salt and flipper doing during this day?

Now she's got you on do arm stuff arm stuff arm stuff. They wrap like robot knuckles gross Okay, so we don't need to get into the rigmarole of what all that looks like we can roll dice off screen about that What is it that you were doing like from a very high level? Is it modifications to the arm? Yes, okay?

Arm stuff arm stuff. Yes. Okay. Okay.

Cause uh in the last episode Flippin actually put expansion modules on it instead of because it was a choice of between a hydraulic upgrade temporary or Future expansion modules to modify the arm. Yep. So arm stuff Okay, so we deal with that off screen. We can reveal it later down the road as whatever happens, but that day happens So most of the day is just upgrading buying relaxing.

This is you know, this is kind of the we just got done with a fight Let's chill out be happy be good, right? Right. So end of that day happens everyone's good and chill Day two comes. What do you do?

Do you group up? What's what is I guess? What is the plan now that you've relaxed calm down? Where do you go?

What do you do? Hera first of all likes so she comes in the night before she's got like four whole like crates Of things that she was able to purchase and like she had somebody she's feeling great because she had like a servant like whole Creates back and all of a sudden she's like great. Yep powers back on like i'm in charge like i can yell at people Fuck was it black Friday? Yeah, she's just she's very excited.

She's got all sorts of things that are meaningless and worthless but like still a bit better All right, so we still haven't found out about it get to leah and somehow we got to drum up some leads on cob and No, what's the bodyguards? Yeah, I was just like I mean, I don't know dend over over Well, I imagine the bodyguard would be easier to access probably easier to see in a crowd too What if we just like and this is crazy, but like flip just throw the grenade at the factory and see what happens? Okay, I think I've gotten enough for that. I think that'll be planned f if a three fail No, but like seriously, I don't have any more grenades Well, that's a problem.

I mean, yeah, we'll figure that part out But like what if we just you know poke at the hornet's net hornet's nest a little bit and see what comes out like I mean really though We've got two minus three days or whatever weeks at this point Like why don't we just see if we can like cause enough shit and you know, you want to just disrupt it worst case scenario We blame the asshole and asshole here. I don't know that hornet's nest is already pretty live from our west couple of days That's something that's necessarily wise. I mean, what are other options at this point? We find leah I mean, yeah, you've got three names.

It's gonna be in the hospital. You got bodyguard and you've got you know So let's find those and just like come on guys. This is this is supposed to be our big thing You know, we go we get together. We blow things up like come on and then the fourth name would be if you can't get the factor You know that that's probably where less is who's the bomb maker that you've been right maker.

Yeah, the iron trist of the desk guy So those are four names those are four leads. Where do you want to go? Well first things first where we can even consider the blow up thing with the empty's right? It's got a very mo We gotta get one first huh like explosion.

Yes, if you blow stuff off If you want to say that on your day of shopping, you just quietly grabbed a couple grenades Oh, absolutely She stopped at like like a couple of armories like she definitely like bought a couple of like really nice I think she finally gets a pistol. She has no like actual like there's no practical reason for Hera to have like she has no like skills in like Ranged light. I think that would be but like damn if she didn't get like a really nice like ornate like Yeah, mother of pearl. How much money do you have?

She had like I think probably close to 90 credits. Okay, so clockwork grenade cost 50 Oh god damn She had a lot of clothes though. Yeah, and if you're getting a rotor I'm probably like food for the Cosmo than what you're looking for because a rotor pistol cost too many a hand can It's kind of fake Like to look yeah That's a different story, but you have to make a role for that Nice out of town if she was on the bad side of town she totally would have been You want to say you bought grenade you could have bought a grenade I think she might I think she maybe saw like it saw it like a little shop like in a dark corner And she's gonna walked in and was like It got grenades out like the apples apples stands. Yeah I mean It's the drug really goes in I said honey.

Yeah, it's you know It's so she I think she kind of like sneaks by and like amidst all of her like impulse like clothes and food and whatever purchases I think she does pick one up. Okay, so when flips says I don't have any grenades over the last one does hair Just like with it out. Yep. Just like I have a surprise for you Mine the bin Alright, so that's an idea.

We'll keep that in back pocket, but I do I don't know if it'd be good to go in your back pocket You sit on it Yeah, you die. It's not as bad I'm curious to see where this cob and both over guy disappeared to every night Might be interested see if we can find where they live might be easier to get info from that probably on the rich side of town too And Hera just looks at both of them like oh my god guys finally you're speaking my language I think we should use salt game. I mean they proved they were jodid tragram and he or they are stupid But they are also turns out Joe is like some sort of like Earl four times removed It's like oh shit like you know And he's like seriously scrubbing the decks and cleaning it for us time While your eye likes to thumb a deck like stunning himself, yeah, he's keeping a look Sounds like you guys are keeping an eye out to look for Dan and or I imagine they don't move independently of each other pretty much Dan would but whenever and this is kind of basic information whenever Gabriel loud in public Dan's Bodyguard now when he goes to a place he may then leave him there and they go out on his own So roll me someone roll me is there like an investigation check or a street line? I could say streetwise Yeah, what is natural to again natural check yeah, we roll one per session or it's one session Yeah, so if you want to roll that with your natural before I say that I've only got one rank in it I have to so okay, so it sounds like and then you get to blue dice because they're helping I see both of you guys are helping them Oh, yeah, okay, her has nothing to contribute in streetwise, but you know emotional support or whatever Okay Still carrying that arm touch Bigger rate of that to purple so you're and you're just trying to find out where they live like what are you looking for?

So I'm trying to find I guess hangouts for them places They frequent and if we can get some sort of like movement patterns for the both of them, okay I will let you you can get some basic information for two purple if you want to upgrade it to three You can give much more specific information basically how deep do you want to go in? All the way all the way I think this is an upgrade. Yeah, that's a good green Alright success success one failure sets to so it's a net one success. How many advantage versus disadvantage?

We have one to five advantage versus two threat. So you've got a net one success in three advantage What does that advantage do for yourself? Oh well, you know Obviously come on Oh, I don't know I think it happens quickly we stumble upon it fast Like before we even get started we walk down the street we see bulverts big frame It happens like right away. Okay, let's just like let's go get pastries and like we're on our way to get pastries And it's like oh shit, so yeah, I can't track people down on empty stomach So he doesn't even notice them first thing the next morning after shopping day the first thing in the morning is you find You know damn this big old monster man walking Pastry place like it's a very good pastry place.

So Yeah big town big you get lucky and you just So what you see is Actually Dan went to the same pace your places you guys do and he got a bunch of stuff and then he went and picked up You know boss man, right? Okay gave him his goods and then walked him throughout the town. He goes to a few different places He definitely stops by the warehouse or the factory. Okay once in the morning once in the afternoon There's a place he goes around lunch time and then another place in the evening That's the same place back tomorrow.

So you presume that that's where he lives. You now know where boss man lives cab. Yeah, so you know where you know where Gabriel cobb lives You know that he was the factory at least twice a day and he goes to various places presumably for lunch So he spends a good chunk of his day at that factory and when he's at the factory sometimes Daniel stays around other times he takes off it kind of depends on what's going on So you know that you've got you've got good chug information You know where the one guy lives, you know what his schedule is in this schedule is basically, you know You have some stuff in the morning go to the factory get some lunch go back factory go home So that's the information you've got how was it going to enact on that or do you want to I guess you guys will report back to Maximus in them first or do you want to go a bit deeper? This took pretty much most of the day.

It's an evening time. Do you want to do a second day of this to confirm these findings? You want to just go see Cobb in his home? Hell yeah, kind of like that night that first night.

Yeah, why not? Let's see time is up Yes, and the other options going back to asshole and asshole and fuck that okay I really want to follow up on Bolger, but that's okay. We can do Cobb so that night night night falls Who is in charge of this stuff operation? So it's flip is the one that roll like and see him be having a better lay of the land.

Yeah Okay, so describe to me what this is everyone going inside or like latest thing out I just want to kind of visually picture this you know what he's at you know It's it's hair and salt standing across the street being like okay kid like go to your thing be a dirty favorite Yeah, well, we'll be watching right here, you know in case anything happens, okay I'm going to scare the ever-living piss out of this guy, okay nice So I'm going to see kid I'll check them go for the knees. Okay, and now it's gonna be three purple because he's got security Yep, and I'm gonna give you one of these story points and I'll be one of those purple red Obviously you're the one who can like fit into small space or something. Here we go. It's not good.

I guess I got it I mean it's a straight even roll as is now That's three failures one success Dikes, I think you get in the door So you get to advantage what does that do for you first? Well, let's see how I fail First okay, I'm going to roll Do you want to see how quickly into the stealth operation you get found immediately because you've got the two advantage Mm-hmm higher the number that I roll in this the faster you get found out 48 probably better that you like halfway in yeah, so yeah, so from the outside you guys see him sneak inside Everything seems good. He got in he nearly avoided guard walking around the outside of this house You get inside and once you get inside you realize oh shit This is a bigger deal than I thought because you thought you have like one or two guards He's got a lot more guards inside than you thought so you're you're going from like hallway There's there's kind of guards everywhere right and you're sneaking through my first question is one is flop with you Or you and solo I know you go in so I like with us what second question What is the oh shit call like if you get caught what do you do I cry you cry is there a way to signal them or you Trying at a very loud level just crying it really loud level. Okay.

I I actually thought that went to the wrong place. Okay. My house here. Okay, cool So I think at some point you you're going through and you realizing fuck fuck and there's just there's people everywhere You're like hiding in closets and going down hallways.

Do you deep in deep? Yeah, I think you walk by a window and At that point you hear someone behind you and then you start like rushing forward because you hear someone coming around the corner And then as you turn a corner you run into a guy and then he sees you and you see him and then you cry loudly Where's my house? I think of that we'll find out what happens in a time Mr. Policeman take me home So yeah, find out if flip Probably they probably won't kill a kid right oh 100% okay like they will slit that kid throat and dump his body in an alley Have fun flip I'm trying to give positive reinforcement and you're just like they'll kill like it don't worry That motherfucker is dead not even like they'll kill a kid Broly violently murdered here is like like talking to salt like they're getting pastries outside with flop and she's like oh yeah No, no, they'll totally fucking murder him like trust me.
