As you skirt around this Gunk, you walk into the next area and has two connections, a left or a right door. All right. Time to roll interface, set out a probe on both doors. You get some information on the right, the DV for the door on the right, is only a TV for and on the left, there was a creature.

I filled on my butt feels so good. Just reassured higher bar. How do you do? Okay, I'm gonna go to the one on the right with the D4. All right. Fall into place.

Let's go to the next room as clippy, walks through the threshold. He can't leave the room. My guy, my best friend, our closest companion on this journey is just tired. Interface 6. Yes, inside is a wisp. Okay. Can I use, does it see me if you step in the room? It will ya.

Can I use stealth to do that? Yes, nice, sweet, sweet. Okay, wait a second. Where is it again? Oh Bryce 16. Yes you stealth your way through and come up against a password door with the beauty of seven and to be of seven I'm Gonna Roll interface interface. Yes, you pass walkthrough. And in front of you are two doors one, which looks like the iron doors to a dungeon on the left and on the right is a door with a Turret logo on it. Hmm, I'm gonna do go to the turret one.

All right. Role for it. Yes. Seven, you beat the DV which was six, you enter the room and the turret control is a big old leather. There's no encryption whatsoever. This is a fairly Deep rinette Run. You've got pretty far. You can flip that lever and turn off the turrets. I'm gonna flip in your flip, the lever. And we return to Retro in a room, surrounded by turrets and they shut down. You hesitate with your grenade because the only thing left in here.

Floating drought. Can I shoot the Drone? Yes, I'm exhausted from this bottle mostly, right Row, the biggest bullshit of them all, you ended up with Leroy Jenkins. I'm just gonna say, as I do it, I'm like, this is why I shoot you in our raids all the time. And I really shoot that drone and you really do. You rolled a 22 plus 3 crit assure the bullet hits the side of it, your old 16 which is Is actually over its HP of 15, it explodes and falls to the ground, and just put the gun in here.

This was a red right now, we'd be electrocute. Someone's not in the holiday spirit. I want to be alive for the holidays. Maybe retro. Hey, so this spring in the North Pole or we're on thin ice Deb, that was good. Shut up. I almost feel bad just like we've been having a great time through our stuff. Our side of stuff calcifer like You owe me at least three Christmas presents for the amount of heart attacks that I, you gave me from me thinking that you were going to die.

You can't tell me your secret and then die. I let you trick the secret. I'm Jazz your sadness, man. Clapton gets pushed out of the net, run the dawn in the room that you walked into, does not open but a secret door, to the South does open and you can now see Clapton and cave and the door in the room that they were in opens. Yeah, everybody get your ass. Someone's got resting Craig's face and above the door of the words. Are you ready? Well, are important Point

almost. Most now calcifer before we really got into things today, you mentioned the thing about net running and that's why you have the whole thing about the mollusks. Yes, so while you were net running you ran into. I'm not going to say the word but you ran into a large mollusk in the net. Yeah. And it attacked me. And now I'm turning into one of them and so, that's the whole, that's the whole thing, huh? Yeah, I can't remember so many

things now. I don't really remember if I had friends before this, or if I'd had a family. It's very confusing. Yeah, I get that. I'm glad you've told me and I gave him a big hug. I give you a hug and I touch your butt for, as reassurance, you know what I mirror, the butt cracks is this way, please. I didn't even care about the but to just like camaraderie, what is what a Christmas miracle? Wow, I've Never Been Kissed before. Yes. I that anymore? The sign flashes.

Okay, now we're ready. We had to have a teller touching moment. First, touching butts moment. Do you head through the door? Well, I've already got yelled at twice. I'm not going first. Okay. All right, I'll do it. And I and K view leads. The pack to the last room in this Warehouse. There's a long Corridor in front of you. I'm so proud of us. We've done so great today. Okay, gig. I have a crazy idea. What if we let loose every single one of our grenades? No, those are really expensive

and I'm planning on living. And as you walk into the room, as this Warehouse room and Faded on the walls scraped away arisaka, Prime logos. This is apparently an old arisaka Prime Warehouse on the ground has been painted. That death sweep logo there at the other end of the room standing in front of a very, very large door. There's a large man wearing an exosuit skeleton dressed as Santa Claus. Santa. Is that really you? No, no course not. I love everyone. I'm sweet and you're going to

die roll for initiative. We Gotta Throw every single one of our grenades. Again those are expensive. Night City. If you look at a map of North America, somewhere on the western edge, you'd see an Inky black top with fingers pressing into the side of the continent, that's where you find night City and somewhere in the middle of

that. Inky black dot is a giant smoking hole, like the universe itself, Drew iron and shot straight through the city, radiation turn the sky red, but our story starts a little further, south In a dive bar, the shortstop Welcome to Night City and welcome to cyberpunk edge of Extinction. And it sided dice presents cyberpunk edge of Extinction, a cyberpunk, red, actual play. Watch now at youtube.com slash at infinite, sided dice.

Catch you later, Chairman's. So, retro you've walked into this room, you see this huge mechanized Santa Claus in this weird Netrunner media guy wearing a Santa hat and if he/she is an upsetting sight, he's carrying a huge, huge gun. Yeah. There's like a cannon gun. Yeah. Big like a big minigun. Mmm. Okay. I would like if I was remember how I said, I got some stickum. Yeah, if I was a pie that stick of do, that litter grenade that I didn't get to use in the classroom because the all the

turrets dropped, right? Would that count as my bonus action, or is that a free act? It's a glitter grenade. It won't do a lot. But yeah. Okay. I'm going to paste. Stick them on that. Glitter, grenade and toss it at Santa Claus. Okay. Do Damn 18, gasps not hits and glitter goes everywhere and the Santa is distracted. I will then. Can I get to hear with my movement? Get the right hand side. Yes. And I get to be buying these boxes yet.

I like to use my music to get behind this box, has crashed down and then I want to use some of the scrap that I have and my tech ability to manufacture something. With my bonus action on the flashlight, do it with your other action. This means you won't be able to shoot. No, I absolutely know that cool role for it, and what are you making? I'm going to make a wireless connection that I can try to plug into Santa that way. Potentially calcifer could hack Santa. Yes.

Yeah. It is a human in the middle of it but he is wearing a fright, right? So we can act before him. I'm trying to find it because typically don't have to roll for it. The thing for that to roll for, can I just do my own D 10? That's your role skill tag. Yeah, Ted, you do. Okay. It won't work on this time but it will work next turn. Oh, yeah, I've assumed I had to plug it in. No, no, it's you're close enough. It won't work this time. Okay. And that's it.

You're now hiding behind those boxes? Yeah, the meantime, I'm just behind the boxes, trying to put it together and I'm like, yeah, I'm saying that that's 48, get ready to, you know, cyber guy. I've whatever I'm going to try to connect him to the Santa's body frame. Whatever he's bulking up. Don't worry. I got an idea. He's been laying off the

cookies. Yeah, I'm gonna. So I'm going to use kind of a combination of like movement and my bonus action, all right, skeletal implants, don't fail me now and I'm gonna jump up on these boxes to get a little bit of height. A little bit of a You from everyone. And I said, Blast away with bass and treble. Nice. Do it too, dude. Wow. Really 14 and 15 base. Misses the bullet flies across the room hits the wall and then hit something matter.

That's interesting. Your other gun hits Square in the frame and it rips off a piece of the metal of the frame and the frame and the Santa take damage. Well, someone's getting on the naughty list naughty naughty I was born on that list. Yeah, they get like that. That should be no surprise. I don't know why we're doing this right now. What I can do that's going till I told me about your scam, there are used too dumb to figure it out. Absolutely.

Yeah, and it's sweeps turn, whereas I've got them here. Death, sweep, Santa chimney sweeps. That's sweet. So proud of you they pull out his Constitution arms, hurricane assault, weapon and K if you're standing on top of a box. Yeah. And you're the Target and you just mocked them and they were talking to you so you're the target. Yeah, 100% And they shoot you. Off the curb appeal of bullets, and as they fire pasty, they are in Christmas colors.

They blast and hit the wall around you clinking against the concrete walls and some of them hit something metal. Yeah, that's not good. Sweep takes a few steps to the north side of the building. And it is clamped and Stern. Okay, I see his gun right. Oh, it's huge. Yes. Okay, I got a really big bump. How far away am I from retro? Oh no! Dear God, he's on the other side of the room. As you're doing this, another clamp picture appears before you feel them. This one just they want me to

become a clam. The clams want me. It's gonna happen when how far away is he again? About 100 the rooms about 100 meters. Long, can I use my movement to get over an extra retro? Yes. All right. Cool. Is there any way that I could throw the sticky grenade tactically? So it like bounces off one of the boxes and onto the gun. It's a sticky grenade so it might stick to the bottom. Hmm you're right. I guess I can just try and throw it on the joke. Yeah do it.

Can I use tactics for this one so that she can? It's a great question, go for it. All right here in a goat. Holy fuck. To. Yes. You can add sales across the room sticks to the side of the frame. Oh yeah. Oh shit. And it explodes, roll 5 D, 6 to protect note, 20. That's a lot of damn it. No, it explodes to, oh shit. All right, well, it's still 20, damn it. Oh nice. I rolled crushed fingers. So the frames hand on one side

gets crushed and the gun. Falls to the ground with a giant, thud damage the frame and to use the gun sweep needs the frame. It is too heavy to hold need to balance it on a box or do something else. And now that it essentially means that sweep can't use their massive, massive gun. They're fine, they've taken some hits, they've taken some damage because a grenade exploded up. They don't have the critical injury was taken by their frame.

Nice and that's all you can do this turn because that move was big and that grenade. It's big. Yeah, yeah those damn Sexy dude. Good job. What, what can I say? I, well, I was sitting back here. I'm just like, I'm so glad I bought things, and I'm putting the armor piercing bullets in my gun. Hey, because I am gonna fuck out and just shoot him with an armor-piercing. Bullet 22:22 +6, doing 12 damage. Excellent work. The bullets. Rip through his Duel armor. Now the frame is broken.

You see parts of his outfit. The Santa's outfit rip away. Christmas came early this year and I just hope that behind my boxes. Nice. Oh yeah. And they take more damage. Yeah. And he steps out to the frame leaving the gun on the ground. Here's the thing. You see my plan, right, right. You just went through the big convoluting. Do you think I just sit in this room on my own? Maybe footsteps, big, big metal, footsteps, and Remy, you recognize this sound and is it

comes around the corner. You are fully sure of what this is. It is Panda. Robot big red nose and Reindeer. Antlers, this was a huge minigun on the back of it and it steps forward and screams fucking Christmas and it points at Clapton because you just threw this grenade, okay? Rudolph.

The Red-nosed pain near guys later and it fires, this huge assault rifle, at you missing badly the bullets fly past Pretty freaked out at fires arikara and also missing because it only rolls a 30. It that's not right, because it wasn't assigned to the correct skill. Hold on, that's okay nine. Roll evasion. How long this I can do this, I can do this, but old gun, which is evasion, is amazing, books of fantastic this weld. Oh yeah, rolling 12, the Ripper sticks in.

To one of the crates in front of you and it whips across the room as it returns to this giant cat with a red nose Roars. Oh, sweet. Lord. I'm going to get posted up the right rope with the boxes and I'm a nun or my tetromino backpack. Hmm. My sniper rifle. I spy and going to take aim at sweeps, Left eye. Okay, hmm. And just going to line up the shot. Take a good breath. I'm going to use to luck points on. This is sued lot of points on this.

All right, you know? Actually, cuz I really want this work. I'm gonna do 55 points. Okay? Nice. And I'm just going to, once I get the point lined up, and I think I got it right there on his, I just going to take a deep breath and mutter to myself. Gonna put your eye out kid. He said that 18 plus 5 you hit Square bam I will say that the head armor was attached to the frame that I did write down so he has no armor in his head now is just wearing a shit Santa's

hat. It you know it hits him square and you also Just go for it. Go for it. You roll two sixes. Yep. So I'm Gonna Roll to D6 that's 10. The bullet goes through one of his eyes and you almost see it ricocheted through his spine and come out of his past. He looks at you Smiles. And diet the panther jumps over and you can hear it way and it jumps around above the dead body of its old master and screams at you all retro you killed sweet

taste. Oh well time to put Rudolph down and I'm going to just kind of sit down on the like I'm just kind of kind of like kneel down on the box that I'm at to get like a good steady. Shot and then bass and treble. Nice. Do it. Most of the kneeling down is just for the pose, that's fine. You're going to use any luck or anything. Nah, nah, I feel like the point of using look like, I'm not gonna outshine that shit. Now, that's for both, hit with a

19 and a 15 respectively. The bullets sail, across the room, hit this robotic flies off pieces of the armor as it loses more of its energy. You've done a decent hit you do anything else? No, I'm just gonna pose nice. It's very cool pose. Yeah. Sweet this Dad. So it's now Clapton's time. Retro, I saw earlier that you had created something to hack into the suit. Yeah. Use that to hack into the to the panther. I've if the panther in the suit or connected is a pretty good

solid chance, I would say. All right baby. Time to go for a run. Hell yeah, it's running down roll roll interface, retro throws. This device towards you and you jack into it on her face. Okay. I'm just going to use my luck for this. Why not cool. There is all my luck. Okay, yes, you jack hand and you probe the Panther and you discover it is being I would buy an intelligent piece of software and behind this door, which you can see through because of how well you roll a floating

digital. You just be like, just be like the raids. All I have to do is close my eyes only Foods, close my eyes. Okay? I'm Una. You have two actions because you rolled so well before any of it can attack. What are you gonna do? Okay. So I have to attack it. Yes. Okay. I am going to I'm going to activate killer my, my killer program. I think it's just good killer. Yes, it is. I'm gonna activate that. And then I have Jesus. I guess if I can, I have that attack twice or is it just once?

How does that work? Is you have two actions. Alright alright I am going to have it attack for the first attack. I'm gonna have Killer attack. Okay. So that is a what do I roll for killer to attach your role? Your Role interface and kill against his plus 3. Okay. 5:45. I apologize. So it's actually six and 18. Yes. Yes. Okay. Heart of the clam bursts open, the top Shell Shack. And in the center is the mind of the clam and there's this glowing Pearl.

That's glitching out every now, and again, you see the death sweep logo, Harbor, give me a second. You have one more hit before it tries to attack you. Okay? Can I use? Can I use concentration to jump on the brain at Lancaster? Try to like, merge with it to control it? Yes, you can. Okay, everybody it's time to face my fears. 22, fucking hell. Nice. And The whole thing D residence in front of you and it falls to the ground outside of the net run. All of them. See a giant panda.

Glitch out parts of its arms move in ways that really do feel very uncomfortable, the red-nosed flashes dies out and the whole thing falls to the ground combat is over, you get forced out of your net, run Clapton and three files are downloaded to your agent. They are decrypting. It's funny though. You look at this decryption and you think to yourself. Wow, that's probably just enough time for us to get out of here. Get back to the bar. Have a drink. All right, everybody.

I think it's just enough time to get out of here and go to the bar to do. One buttered nipples for everyone. Enough time to do, what? Oh Jesus let me rephrase this, I need to get my dirt. They would I need to I need to know my information. I got some files decrypting and that's just enough time for a toast. Okay guys, ever try this one more time? I said I got three files out of decrypting from the clam that's just enough. Time to go to the bar. Get out of here and get a drink.

Did that order though, okay, what we get out of here, yes, and you will head to the bar laughing at Clapton in their Victory leaving sweep and his disastrous puzzle behind your secret is safe.
