Transcript

Last time on no latency. Usually screams bad. We might want to run away. It's valid. What's this about sleeping? We need Abbott. It's. Not pissed them off. I know who you are. You're not an. AI And where is Frog? The beasts. Wait a minute, The Beast. We should go. You have a relic ship. It's a safe state for your brain. Like anybody really has a fucking. Relic ship, we're going, we're going. We're going, we're going. You never know when somebody's going to be injured and you need

a quickie. A room full of ammo and goody like you do before you go into a big battle. OK, we're going. Huh. Jump in. Hurry, hurry. Come on, I'll grab your hand. Reaching my other hand out to grab Iona. Oh, I mean, we are storming the castle. We are storming the castle, yeah. I kicked the door open. Well, looks like we're going to have to totally fuck you up, you get it? Cause 'cause he's a frog. Not not that frogs or toads actually them are different, but

I don't think you get the point. In case you were wondering, frogs have long legs, longer than their head and body, which are made for hopping. Where toads on the other hand, they've got much shorter legs. They they kind of just crawl around rather than hop. So if if they hop, they're a frog. And you know, if they don't live there, they're toad. Because what toads got them big booties? Toads walk, Frogs hop. What are you saying? Toads. Toads can hop a little bit. Yeah, yeah.

But they, you know, they just kind of like kind of crawl around, but but frogs, they they got super long legs made for Hawking. So we're here to see just kind of how you know. There's a sketch. Yeah, what VB said. Also VB. Could you say that a bit louder? A bit quiet. We're here to kill. Yeah. Sorry, sorry. Sorry. And then and JP does the thing where he takes the the, the drum out of of the revolver. Nice. Just. Just so you can put that sound effect in there. Go for initiative.

Right, right, right. Yeah. Yeah. Go. For initiative. That's my life this week. Hey, fuck you. Whoa. Oh, yeah. Let's go, Bendel. All right. OK, Time for you to figure out what Bendel's going to do. Well, I I think I mean, I guess I, you know, I'm. Here in a while be. Back here. Do you do you still have a a shield wall? No, I just have a shield. Like a a body 1/2 body shield or. I have a bulletproof shield, but I don't have the shield thingy

anymore actually. Not the one that slams into the ground. That I have. You do? Yes. Oh, I thought I had that. Oh. Well, hopefully someone has it, because that would be really nice. I thought that was one that was in my arm. Oh, that's yours. That's not anyone else. 'S Yeah. Vivi had one. I had one. And then you lost it. You should have put your name on a VV You got to write your name and and I have. A lot of things I need to keep track of.

I've got medical gear. I've got a hoverboard. The hoverboard is sick. The. Hoverboard does take up a lot of memory space. I didn't get you like. Some tile tags? Isn't it some tile tags? Yeah, that's a good idea. Should put one on my hoverboard. Well, I'm, I'm still going to stand out here in, you know, the open while the rest of you hides. Take advantage. Go ahead and do that. I I I am going to take cover, if

that's all right. I mean, I figure I'll just start shooting and then if if you see, if you see that I'm getting kind of targeted by everybody, maybe you guys come out and like grab me or otherwise extract them. But I figure I I go out there and I start shooting, what else am I good for? Sounds like a plan. Sounds like a pretty, pretty good plan, Jeb. I think Combat should probably be starting soon. I look at how much. Yeah, I'm. Going. To go first. Oh, oh, well, I'm going to go

1st. I'm going to do it. I'm going to, I'm going to join VV in the other room because it feels mean for them to be alone. Thank you. So I'm going to, I'm going to move out into the into the room. All right, and. Say fuck you, reptilian, reptilian. Fuck you. Shut the fuck up. Oh well, you don't want to be so rude. Oh. I'm right here with you, Vendel. Hell yeah. So you're pretty far though. Vendel Vendel, could you please activate your Shields? Oh yeah, no, I'll do that.

Thank you. Before you go out, All right. OK And then Vendel is just gonna, let's see if we destroy these tanks that gives frog less power. Is that correct in thinking these people tanks? The the you? You'd have to find out. You don't know. You don't know. Is. But I don't know. They're they're people. I'm just kidding. They're just batteries. They're like AA's. Exactly, it is GM. Is there a a spot with an access panel on the tank? Vendel's only moved three

spaces. I I see that they've moved into the room and I believe their move is 6, correct? La La La La true. Yep, OK, so in theory they could shoot or punch twice and do like a bonus action. So if your bonus action if you want, you can role perception to see if they can see any. Final role perception. Oh God, now you have to roll for this game. Wow, I thought this was a role-playing game.

So we just pretend to, right? We just pretend to roll, don't tell the audience, but we've never actually rolled. Yeah, it's all just this is all just improv, baby. Perception 13 Vendel looks around and there's not a lot in here. On the north and the South side of the room, there are these large transformer like machines that you've seen all through this facility and they're glowing green like a lot of the rest of the room.

In front of you is Frog standing in front of a pod that he must have been sitting in recently because it's still steaming. As he steps forward and they're in two lines. On either side of him are these pods with people suspended in fluid. Now these people might as well be skeletons. They're so gaunt. And in front of each of the lines is a round, circular port

on the ground. But in the heat of the battle, as it has just started, with Vendel only rolling a 13, that's pretty much all they can discern. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. I know. I wish I could see more. I know. Oh, and there are two drones in here too. I've definitely seen there are two. There are two cloud drones. Well, Vendel, I say take out the the people tanks, because if Abbott's using them, so is Frog. OK. Bang Bang Bang Bang. Bang, bang. So we That's 25 feet away.

Which is like, literally what I rolled. Hell yeah. It's 15 feet away, and Vendale shoots this tank to the South. He blows a hole through the side of the glass and it pings around inside and you hear this husk of a human start to scream as it steps out into the space covered in this. Fish. Sticky fluid that you've only ever seen seen in sci-fi movies. EW Gross. That is uncomfortable,

uncomfortable. The second shot, however, blows a hole through the side of this husk and Bendel blows their left arm off. What did you do it I can't see? It it let it out. Now there are more of them. Oh, maybe we don't. I don't know. They must mean they must have less power though, right? I mean, look, that's that's one whole AA out of their system. What Fucking who? Who is not Iona? Vendel also said that there were green generators.

That's also probably bad. And and it looks like there's a big AI core at the bottom of the room too. Not shit. Right there. I can't see. I got a wall. I also can't see I'm not in there. OK, I'll actually actually now I gotta be honest, I have no idea where y'all are, but actually they're they're that AI core. I'm taking tactical cover. Tactical cover. I like that. Yeah, that's good. So should I also shoot the creepy husks or? Maybe you should be an Angel of mercy and just.

Or an Angel of death. Your choice. Oh, I like this, these choices. Remember, if you want to discover something, you can roll something esoteric and ask me a question. If I shoot the generator do does VV feel confident it will do something? The object behind frog is not a generator. That's the AI core. Yes. All right, let's not shoot that it's also. Like a good? Lot of feet away. It's far so the one here these are. Are these all like generators for?

You've you've seen this kind of design before because you've been in this facility but they they are fairly tough. OK, I see. All right. Well, I mean, I guess I can kill this husk. I will shoot. I will shoot at the husk that came out of this pod thing with my Sandru. Hello, cutie. Ultracate Salt Pistol. Nice. 19 Very good. Yeah, that hits for sure. That's that's 10 feet away You you gave me that.

Definitely hits for 14 damage. You watch your bullet rip through its flesh like it's sealed, and they fall to the ground in a wet mess of diluted blood and groans disturbingly soggy. Yes. That's pretty gross. Left him too long in the milk. Why does this sound wet in there? The husks are very soggy. EW, yeah. At least you didn't say moist. No, we have 12345. 6. We have 14 more to go. Oh joy. All right, does. Anybody have like a grenade or

like a rocket launcher? I haven't seen the area rounds that might work. I got I got a Electro Electro rounds that's. You've got one more shot. What are you going to? Do. Shit. Sorry. I'm going to shoot the other one. I guess I'll just shoot at this one up here, OK? So that's yeah, no, you hit it, but your damage not great, is not a lot. It's enough to free the husk from the pod. Another pod Pistons open. It shuts down as this guy steps down of it and he turns to you

and groans. But your crit fail on damage means all you did was damage the pod, not the husk. So he's at full health. Damn, that's. It. For me. Well, oh, you have come to my lair, says Frog as they step forward. You have entered my little doping. I can fight Abbott and you and they jump down from the podium. Over like a tiny step. There's no need to do this jump. It is an overtly dramatic moment. At the same time. Is he? Is he hopping or is he crawling?

Is he a toad or a frog? I'm putting 1 foot in front of the other. Oh, he's a toad. He's just named Frog. Jab. Oh yeah. I hear you can dodge bullets. I mean it's been done before. It's not it's not really like a for sure thing. You know, it's kind of, it's a little bit of the science. Well, and he looks at VV and he looks at Vendel and he looks at Jeb and unfortunately rolls 6:00 on that D6. And that means he shoots. Jeb pulls out A Arasaka waa Bull Pup assault weapon.

You watch them flick this little switch on the side of it and they pointed at Jeb and pull the trigger. All right, so just to be clear. Jeb. This is a humanoid AI man, not a frog man, no. He's glowing green though, all right. Just wanted to make sure everyone's on the same page what this guy looks like. And apparently he's sponsored by Arasaka. B16 18 The bullets fly across your left hand side and into the darkness behind you. You hear that ricochet around and and miss.

Oh shit, you something. See. So it can't happen. It's just a cool. I mean, look at listen, it's stressful either way. I. Can't see that dodge this. And he shoots you again, BA17. OK. And you duck and they go straight over your head. Whoa. Fuck yeah, I mean, are we gonna just, are we gonna keep doing this or? Yes. You decided to shoot the one that can dodge bullets Frog. I mean, that's not you. You're. Not the You're not the smartest villain. Frog looks at you.

It gives you this look. I did not hear that you were good at quits. Well done. On the clipping or on the dodging? He was complimenting me. Oh, sorry. He's got. He's got like, frog eyes, so they look on both sides. Oh, sorry. He was looking at you, were looking at me. Behind Frog, a drone cloud moves forward and it hovers beside frog menacingly going towards VB. Can you explain how something can hover menacingly? It's got a really menacing noise, yeah.

And also it flashes red with its tiny beady eyes from all this little Swami things. Oh. Yeah, that vibe, man. That vibe is not. He's just standing. There, it spells scary vibes. The words in the air? Scary vibes. It smells like clove cigarettes. Oh man. Nothing is scarier than just directly telling us that. It's scary. I mean, I get it. I do the same thing. I go, oh, oh, right, right, right. Bang. And I I. Shoot the from there, yeah. 5. 10152025 that's 30 way, It's not so bad.

I guess I can move and then move back. That's the thing I can do. So I'll move up here and then take it. Take a Pew Pew. Hi, Jeb. Oh, OK. Bye. Bye, Jeb. That. Was great. Is that twice? Yeah, it's twice. Yes, it was first. Shot. I'm assuming the first shot you're shooting. I was shooting for our both jams actually. All right. OK. So your first shot is 24 and frog. He gets to dodge because he has a high reflex. OK. Damn it. All right, so he tries to dodge the first bullet and it flies

towards him, causing 8 damage. A crit fail on damage. My guy, that is. It happened twice actually. You see his armour complete. Well done. And then your second bullet flies forward, a crit failed, goes flying over his shoulder and sticks in the wall. I didn't even need to dodge. That one the the the you see, the key to to dodge a bullet to see is to is to imagine a a little lion coming out of the barrel with a gun.

That way you can kind of guess where it's headed and then you can kind of dodge away from it. So yeah, so you did it there that time. That was good. That was good. Is that how you do it, Jeb? I just do it with like skill. No. So it's all about. It's all about a real quick trigonometry are. You going to move back before it's the next person's turn? Yes, mountains a day right here. Yep. Thanks. Right. Behind me. So I'm your cover. Cool. Great. You just right there.

Right. Good. I owner at Tilton. I owner at Jeff 10. That's what you sound like. I'm activating my half shield and my upside down half shield, so I am fully childed, 5234. All right. Just checking. Checking how far things away are. Oops, sorry. I didn't mean to shut the door on you. Remy. What? All right, I'm going to shoot Frog Froggy Years with this Remware IP Edition handgun, but I'm going to pop in a couple incendiary rounds. How? Many of those do.

I got left enough, enough. OK, I don't have any quips for you. Bang your. First shot is a crit fail and misses. Oh, sorry, I I banged the gun against the side of my hand. I haven't used this one in a while. Bang. 24 Nice, Very good. That's Now you're rolling with the Benjamins. That's a three, so that's a 10. That's not enough. They try and dodge your second bullet and it hits them pretty hard in the chest causing 11 damage. It is an incendiary round so.

You ignite the target until the target spends an action to put themselves out. They take two damage directly to their HP whenever they end their turn. Oh, so they are on fire. So take an extra 2 HP damage I believe. So your bullet hits Frog and various pieces of his actual flesh that have been grafted on to his cyberwear starts to ignite. You know why is pain such a requirement? And it's part of being human, baby. Fuck. Oh, oh, and I'm going to move back. Coward.

A little bit. You're very scary. I don't really like frogs. Are you looking for an adventure? Then join the full misfit adventurers to save the D8 epic in their quest to find their way back home. There's Haven, the Paladin. Or I rip off the flesh arm and I beat you to death with it. Giddy the Barbarian. That could be my blood. It probably will be in the future. I'll take it. Brash the Bard. Hey, wait, I these were. Different cards. I I I swear. And Shelley the Sorcerer.

Man, if we get put. In jail again for this. I'm going to be real upset. Join their journey as they roll the dice, dice, battle, fearsome monsters. I roll the natural 10 no my spirit. And outsmart their foes. This party's great, by the way. We're like, cool. I'd kill it. TuneIn to save the D8 Epic, a live play D&D podcast that will take you on an epic adventure of a lifetime. Oh no, Vivi. The husks that got released from the pod by you it it's shambling towards you in a very gross way

there. We go what? The fuck? What the fuck did? You. Just. Do leave you don't die. Leave you, Don't die. That's the opposite of what you first rolled. So that's a crit. This is it. It's a a crit. I just. Want to say that it's been really fun. It's been. A pleasure playing with you, Tracy. Yeah, it's. Been great. It's that's it. That's it. But it's not crit damage, so all it does is hit you. It's also a very shit enemy and he great damage to you with his fleshy soggy hands.

And it's more gross than anything else, but it does cause 4 HP damage because melee damage is halved. You're right. And it gives you. This is the worst part. So really is. No, it's just. It's just damp, it's very unpleasant. They're all clammy. Just. But because of that, you do get moved back towards Vendel. It follows you one more step, attacks you again for 20. Roll evasion all. Right. Nope. 14 No, it hits you again for for damage. What? Oh, just thinking about what it just said.

Can you speak Husk Retro? Yeah, yeah. The husk was actually saying. I'm so sorry I have to do this. I'm being forced by a control uncontrollable need that I can't seem to put past, but unfortunately that's not. Wow, I expected what they said to be a lot shorter because. It's a very complex language. Each syllable is an actual like word. OK. Well, I mean, I'll think about that on my turn. It's your turn now. Oh oh shit.

I've been sitting here the whole time and I haven't thought about anything to do. Well, I'm just gonna have to do this the retro way, 12340. OK, so that's what it looks like out here. What's that right there? That's a dead husk on the ground. Oh, OK, Retro's gonna go ahead and pull out their camera shotgun, turn the barrel into rocket launcher mode. I'm just so tired and so sick of all of this. So now you're going to have to suffer from my hip penis and fire my rocket launcher directly.

Like in the middle of where I can right there hit and frog the drone and the hopefully the husk at the same time. Just all splash damage this is going to. Nice. Roll for it. I mean, I should just be able to do it. That's just a retro thing. 20. 4. Excellent. That's a 10. Oh, so that's their reflex is 8, so it's 18, which is not enough yet not enough 20. Even with a crit role, they

still did not manage to dodge. The others don't have the the reflex of eight because one's a cloud drone and the other one's a husk. Sorry, a soggy husk that just attacked VV VV while experiencing the aftermath of the willies. You're looking at yourself, and as you look up, a rocket flies right past your right ear, right past you, zooms past you, and hits frog while he's on fire and explodes around him, causing that's crit failed damage too. No, it's not. It's not crit 3 33 damage.

The the husk is blown back and parts of his body fall off as he dissolves into the ground in a mushy pile of diluted blood. The drone cloud is vaporized as this rocket explodes and you watch it fizzle in the air like those crackly fireworks that you enjoyed as a child. And Frog takes one big step back and his armor is heavily ablated.

Holy. Shit. And you can just see a retro and they they've straddled that shotgun up against their pelvis for extra support as they pull it back, you know, spinning around the the trigger guard into their hands. Yeah. And then takes their hand and then rubs their pelvis because it really hurt from the shock. Holy shit, retro. That was, I didn't see what happened. Feeling froggy? Let's jump. Oh, I assume it was that. There you go, That's. Wow, Retro, you really fucked him up.

It's my turn to fuck something up. How about it? 12345. That's right. Bang, we're not Bang Bang shin shin. We're going to slice and dice here with our not slice and dice. We're going to use our Glass sword, our excess Glass sword. One of the things I love about my glass Sword, you stupid frog AI. Whoa. Do. You know what it is. Do you want to know is that it's called the XS Glass Sword? Because when I use it, I use it to XS. And they swing it out and they attack this guy.

Oh wow. And that's only A2, which means he rolls A10 to dodge and gets hit by this sword and it slices across his armour, only doing 7 damage, but you know, a blading the armour by 1. Do it again. Good now. I'm going to do it again because I can do it too. Excess, yeah. Fuck you. Nice. Oh, did you try and dodge? Did you roll an 8 and only have an 8 and have 16? But I roll a 20? That's right. Stab, stab. That's my new that's my new war Cry stab. See. Fuck you.

Good work, Bendel. Hell yeah, and you're on fire. Get fucked. I've got a bonus action, and just for fun, I'm going to kick you. All right. OK. All right. It's. Not going to cause damage. Hold on, let me We're just going to, we're just going to do this. Bam, get kicked. Fucking rolled Taekwondo. I knew there was a reason. I trained in that. They kicked this guy. Where'd you You can now make Frog move one square. Where do you want to move him back?

Diagonal just back one. OK, and Frog does that back step that only ever happened in Power Rangers. Whenever they get hit, they can. Arms waving there's. Definitely somebody listening who's like, yeah, I know that bit, yeah, Power Rangers. There's just spark sparks going off and. I think I'm just going to stand here and say fuck you unless I have some movement in which in case I probably. Movement. I got one more moment. Blink. So in reply to watching Frog do this silly back step, Vendel

mocks them as they do it too. Look at me. You sound like. That's right. That's what you'd see. Dick, I'm watching a little bit. About what is the size of one of these drone clouds? Like, would you say they're the size of a softball or baseball? No, I'd I'd say, I mean in terms of mass, yes, but in terms of cloud about a beach, ball beach. Ball. I was thinking of trying to pull up my baseball bat and hit it into frog. Yeah, that could work.

Can you think of a way to trick them into becoming a bit more centralized? By centralized you mean like? Like dents. Yeah, can you think of a way to bring them to make a ball And then if you can make a solid ball, you can smack them like a ball? Maybe I can so these. Could I place something in it? Yeah, to make it go. Yeah. What do you want to do that would make them do that? What can I have? Maybe some gauze?

That's amazing. So you're going to, you're going to try and like wrap them into mummify the. The the drone. Yeah, V sees the drone cloud and makes out the line of fire between the drone cloud and frog. And in her mind she sees a perfect home run and she goes in her bag and pulls out some gauze and goes to the drone cloud and starts wrapping it. It might be a little difficult at first.

Like, damn it. And then she takes it and takes out her baseball bat and smacks it down the line to frog. Yeah, charge. Charge. What? Charge it. Baseball bat. Plus 17. Yes, you smack this drone. You roll me something to wrap them up. Yes. Oh, no can. Do you have? I'm going to use my inspiration from the previous Gisner Ale comments and try to reroll this. All right? Yeah. All right. All right, what am I going to roll? Oh, that's a three. That's not enough.

So as the drone was actually thrown back by this explosion, it's still a little dizzy. And you take this opportunity to wrap it into a ball and it tries to float a little bit, but you do a little throw up and you smack it towards Frog. That's a lot of damage. The ball flies across the room, hits Frog, who is on fire. It sets the gauze on fire, which

like a fuse unwraps the drone. The drones blindly as they come out of their confinement, try and attack Frog and in in the confusion you cause Frog for damage. You're not doing great with the whole dodging thing. You know, I tried to tell you how it works, but you're just not paying. Yeah, you think there's a frog, they would actually be able to jump or hop or do some kind of dodge? You would think you would find. Where did the name Frog come from?

Yeah, Do you do you have a Do you want a monologue for a bit? What's the inspiration? The programmer who originally created me. Well, just it was funny. Just like. Frog in your throat. No. Sounds like it I. Was helping them with a fraction program for children. That's actually pretty cute. Fraction. Revolving, oscillating. Not an anagram.

I was an animated frog and I'm pissed off about it, Says Frog as they grab the drone mid air and crush them into a sparky mess and throw them on the ground. All right, little hop along, Calm down. They say as they take two damage from being on fire. On fire as he burns, and he burns to the speed of light. And he walks over to one of the lines of of these drones and steps on that port that Vendel saw earlier. He charges frog charges. Energy comes up from the ground.

He passes the deep. He does not pass the DB, but he can do it twice. So he does it again, rolling at 15. He gains 6HP as you watch the energy course into him. Two of the husks behind him burst into a green flame. You can hear him scream as the energy is pulled out of their body and they die. So he does use them to charge. Yes, I do. And they. Are not main. Actions, he says as he pulls out his gun, points it at retro and

pulls the trigger. Oh, Crip. Fail. The bullets fly past you, Retro. Woogly woogly. Watch out. Oh, I think I made somebody hopping mad. Well, listen, you know, real helpful figuring out how this guy ticks. But did we decide that we wanted to to just shoot them directly or try to take out the batteries? I mean, both are very viable options. Kill him. Kill him. Yeah, I figured just going head first might be the right way to go here. So anyway, thanks. Bye.

Good luck dodging frog. What do you mean? Oh shit. And the bullets come towards. Him the first one rolling a 29, he tries to dodge. Rolling a 7 + 8 is not enough, and that first one hits him hard. Yeah. I'd say so. With your first shot, you pull him under half health. Finally, and he tears a muscle, causing -2 to melee attacks. 17 + 8. That's enough. Look at that and he surprisingly dodges it as he clutches his torn muscle.

He takes the two pieces on his leg and he tries to push them back together, but he's run out of actions this round. Jeb, do you do anything else? No, I'm going to go ahead and just reload. Sounds good. I take a few steps forward and I I take a a note out of Remy's book and I fire from the hip for 22. 22 Now I'm going to say there's this beautiful moment where you fire this bullet and it flies across the room and it hits him square in the middle of the body, right in the middle. Of the.

Body, but as he looks down he notices that it's just his armour that's damaged, but he is still on fire. Oh yeah, that's right, I'm on fire. That's OK. I was just preparing for my next shot which is a 27 and. He does not dodge that the bullets hit him, this time actually causing him damage. Bulls. It's all in the hips. It's all in the hips. I like it. I like it a lot. Shooting from the hip, it makes makes me feel powerful. Go ahead, Remy. Oh shit, it's my turn again. Oops.

OK, so we saw the frog charge up by sticking something in a port. Yeah, that round dot on the ground is a port that they can charge from. And they're they're in that they're in that port I would like to roll to see if the system OK hold on 1st 1st. I'm going to say this just for the for the our our our game master. I'm about to pull some in real life electrical bullshit on you, so I'd like to check to see if the system runs off of a regular

three phase ABC configuration. This entire pod is its own loop. If it disconnected from the building, it would run off its own, off the power of this these people, whatever else he's got stored inside of this building specifically. Right, right. I understand that. But what I'm asking is, is that is it's running off of a three phase system. This is I'm assuming AC 'cause you need a certain amount of power cause DC can't go that much. So I'm I'm assuming that it

would be off of an AC system. Which would you? Tell me, man, the electrician. I don't. Know well, I've been looking here, you got 4 ports which would be A, A phase, B phase, C phase and a neutral. And I'm going to run up to Frog, get right up behind them and I'm going to take some of that junk that's in my trunk and jam it right in between those two ports. That's causing a cross phase over. Sure, but you have to roll for it. OK, so I automatically get Advantage because this is all

true life bullshit. Correct. Who thought my job would actually help out? Fantasy who? 31 Yes, you place a piece of scrap metal across two of the ports on the ground. This long, long piece of metal that you quickly just twist together as you run over and throw on the ground because it has to be 5 feet long. You throw it on the ground and with your 31 in electronic security tech you cause a short in the system and the electricity shoots up. Frogs back causing 1D6 damage 5 damage.

Bullshit. Bypassing their armor too. And while the electricity courses through them, they kick the piece of metal across the room and it slides away to the other side. Is that all you do well? I'm well, I'm right up against them, so shotgun to the face. Shotgun to the face never goes wrong. Can't go wrong with shotgun the face. 20 Does he dodge? Well? No. You rolled A20. The bullet flies towards him and you can see he's very low on health right now.

Like very very low. And he he is twitching with electricity and misfiring. Survey. You got silence us. Yeah, but I can get you to croak. Get him. Get him. End this Fendel. Fendel is going to do it again, but better stab him with the excess sword. Bam. Dodger 14, bitch. That's a 10. You've got to be fucking kidding me. He put Dodgers the first shot. Dodge again. Please. Fucking hit. Please fucking hit. That's a two.

Fuck you. Episode goes right through his neck and they twist it and you see this black sludge spurt out of his neck like you're in some kind of X-rated anime, and he starts to. Convulse. And he puts his hands on the ground and prices it against the port and tries one last time to charge, rolling a crit fail. It doesn't work. That's only an 8 and an official crit fail. I made my own macro for Frog.

He does his own thing. That's cool, because that crit failed me means he fucking explodes. Oh. Shit and his body convulses and he falls to the ground. Retro. You get thrown back. Roll evasion. Vendel also roll evasion. Yeah. That's enough. You both dodged the explosion as he turns into a pile of scrap on the ground, but you swear you can see it breathing as the flesh attached to the mechanics pulses back and forth and tries to assimilate more of the pieces. I'll put this.

Out the end of the room you see the big AI core light up a little bit and a big progress bar starts. Oh. Fuck. Wait, what? Downloading. Well, what? Downloading. What we need to run the CAD system right now? Download. Otherwise we're going to be re croaked. Why don't we just blow up the AI core 'cause then he can't. Back. Yeah, actually that's that's a great plan. OK, VV VV hit it with your back. All right, with a baseball bat. I'll I'll take a shot at it or two.

All right, you take a shot and then I'll finish it. Off bang and then a bop and then a bang and then a bop. Yes. All right. I'll start with the bang. Bang Bang. Bang. Bang. And one more. Downloading. And now with all the internal damage, it starts to give off a bunch of errors. Warning Husk battery failure. Warning Data storage A damage detected a warning A possible data loss. Warning Download aborted. Warning Full data loss. Warning Disposal Creature

control a error A warning. Disposal Creature Control Connection Loss Sporting Unable to reestablish connection. And another spark comes out of Frog on the other side of the room, Sporting. What does that mean? What does what mean? What does it say? Disposal creature error. What I. Don't. I don't know. I'm. Sorry, someone's gonna have to spell this one out for me. I I'm not getting it. I mean it's it means it's a trash creature, disposal trash.

You know, we already, we just took out the trash. So I don't know that that's probably nothing to worry about. Let's just get the fuck out of here. This place is really starting to grind my ears. Well, now that we've beaten Frog, I suppose we probably can relax a little bit, right? I guess. That seems like a trap. Yeah, that that does seem to be our downfall, doesn't it? Typically when we're like, oh, we beat the boss, we're good, you know, we're fine.

Just to like, trigger whatever's going to happen, let's do like a group high 5. OK. You just want do we like you want to countdown or? And we can all jump. Jump in the air. Yeah, I I like your idea, Jeff. I'm gonna. I squirt the latex onto my hand to form a glove. Nice all. Right. Ready. Ready. 00321. Hooray go. And you hear the beasts outside. Groan. 2. Yeah, yeah. There it is. I want to call it. Next time on no latency. Time that we blow this bitch up.

Or yeah, I've been saying that. Well, we just have to go back down to the Abbott lab and get the chip. Oh fuck yeah. Wow, that's a good old man of Eddies right there. Get the relic chip. Sorry, Abbott. Is everybody high? And then we go down, we run the Cads, and then we leave. Yeah, we're going down, down. Oh, Pirate should pick us up down there, yes? Oh, grip it and rip it, my guy. Last touch, their nose goes. Not it. OK, touch notes. I'm not doing it. That seems morally OK. Great.

So this is where we would run the CAD system. That means that the CAD key is here. Oh, what's in these lockers? Is there stuff in the thing has anyone seen? LJ. I mean, this is kind of dangerous. Y'all hear that? No solicitation please. Oh, I I do. I hate it now. I feel like you're in charge. You're about to cause a lot of anguish, but let's go.
