Last time on no latency. A pint. A pint of blood for this pass. You smell that smell, The hint of Iona's blood boiling. I I think someone's given blood. Why wouldn't you do it while I was passed out? Clearly, Iona wants to be awake for this whole idea. Whoops. How do you audit the building? What kind of audit is? It. I was just here for the company. No, you you should come with us, Ted. Yeah, that's what I'm doing. I'm smoking another cigarette. It feels like I'm missing a pint
of blood. Boom, nailed it. I can get down. Yeah, if only we had a way to, like, find someone to fly up there and hit the lever. Girl, did you hear that? You want to be useful again. That's. Fun. Yeah, I'm so sorry. I don't have one story. I don't. Love people leaving. I forgot it was tonight. Thank you for reminding me some. Cool underground place at midnight. Well, Choo Choo motherfuckers. Let's go. I just. I just. Honestly I'm I'm feeling bad about about Sloan recently.
You know and I I think what it is is that we had such a strong companionship when I was out in the when I was out outside the the city walls because we only had each other. But ever since I met you guys, I I feel that as my relationship grows with y'all, my relationship with her diminishes and I just know that she's not feeling, you know, neglected and all. She's just an animal. She's a bird. She She understands. I mean, you know, birds can have feelings too.
But they do. They're usually quite smart. But she. Understands I I'm Do you think so? Yes. All right. I mean, Jeb, let's just really look at it this way. We were stuck upon a tower just hours ago with no way down. And who was it that came and saved us, Sloane? True. I just don't want her to think that I only, you know, hang out with her when I want something from her. You know what? I mean, every time. That's not true. Sloane's hanging out with us.
It's a good point. It's a good point. Do you need some like one-on-one time with your bird? I just think I might just have to call on her a little bit more often, you know, and and show her that I care for her and not just her ability to fly and see the the battlefield from a different vantage point. It's a shame that they won't be useful for this mission though, since we're going underground.
I know Which. Anyway, let's go for that plan again, the one that we already for sure have locked in and we're now just telling each other again, just to make sure that we all remembered it. Right. So Domino said that there was a safe and that there were security measures. What did Sky say? They said that only two of us can get in the room, so. Besides me. Yes, besides Iona. So that I'm assuming that means that whoever doesn't go in the room will have to do something else.
And because we're underground, that means that you can't pull like a a midnight market and get under the vault. But we might be able to get around the vault, depending on where this is. If it's been like if it's like a reused old station, then that means that it wouldn't have been built with that kind of security in mind. So maybe there's a way around it? How? How does anyone feel that wink? Does anyone feel that it? Was like it was like it was like God himself. That's so strange.
Right. Domino said that we can catch the midnight train to anywhere from this station. Just just over there. Jeff park the van. Oh, OK, right, right here. Oh, hold on. Damn it. That car just took my parking spot. You son of a bitch. And you hear them honk back, and he flips you off and drives away. Yeah, yeah, fuck you.
Roll drive like land vehicle. He drives away because although you thought he was taking your space, when he moves, you realized he was parked illegally next to a hydrant. However, you rolled 23 and find a space around the corner well lit one. Because you rolled high enough, it's very unlikely that anyone's going to mess with Vanna White.
As you step out of Vanna White, though, you notice that the front has been crushed and you've lost the headlight because you crashed it earlier today into Sky's car. Yeah. I I I Jeb purposely doesn't look at the front of the car, just. Oh fuck. That's so hard. OK, All right, let's all head
into this station. So you head down in to this station and you see that there's a a billboard up and it's got a few different trains going to different parts of the city, and then it flips and there's one that says anywhere. That's it. Oh. That's the one. Wow, this is quite literal. It was crying in front of us the whole time. Wait, what time is it? It's it's about 11:30. Oh. We got 30 minutes. Not too much longer now, hopefully.
I mean, I mean the Midnight Marks market starts at midnight, so I think it the the train arrives at midnight, so it could be here any. And a train just comes right by in the midnight. Wow. Fuck. God damn. It. Fucking. Hate trains? Now do we get do we do we get tickets or just is it public is is public transportation free in next? No. When we walked through the gate, they deducted 5 eddies from each of us. Sort of. Oh, all right. It's one of.
The fishing. And the train stops, and you find yourselves in front of the doors. Damn, there's a spacious train. There's a a few other people sitting in this train car. There's a guy asleep in the corner, there's a chick playing on a BD in one of the chairs and it looks like they've been sitting on this train for a few hours. So, and you step onto this train and it disappears into the tunnel, chugging along. Oh, I I I it's really dirty in here. Yes. I will say though, that the
motion is extremely smooth. I can barely feel it moving. Is this magnetism? Yeah, magnet rail. Magnet rail. Pretty great technology, except if we hit a bump. Everyone roll Athletics. Oh no. Great. Yes, Anding into that I was. Just going to close, freshest stuff because I assume fresh didn't come with us. He did not I. Don't think I've ever taken. Oh, that's not true. I have you. You know it is canonical. That Jeb and Iona, you fall into each other as the train takes a left turn.
Oh. Sorry about. That you guys are right. And now, Iona, you kind of smell like Jeb. Oh, I don't want to have a freak out before we get to the market now. You gotta smell like meat. Shut up. Shut shut up. Just shut it. Let's not have any. Injuries before we get to the market. Well, I mean, they fell in each other's arms. I think that. Oh. God don't. Oh. I mean, you don't cut each other in a loving embrace of oh. Yes, you're fine.
You sanitize yourself and as you're sanitizing yourself. I've got to do it one more time. Oh, you'd rather nine? You feel great. You have enough sanitizer to sanitize the chair. A. Seat if you would. Like I would because I was good. I was just going to stand here. But if we're going to hit bumps like that, I don't want to bump into jab again, Sorry, nothing against you if. You do not want to have to take an athletics check. I'm sitting. I see that makes sense. You can.
See. Yeah, grab a seat. What do you? Say, just sit away from Jeb. Sorry, no, no offence to you. Oh no, no, I'm taken. Retro stands as the train comes to another stop. Everyone roll athletics. Sorry, retro. Roll Athletics. I was like, what? 15 Yes, you managed to keep your footing and the train stops at a different station and on get. 5. Gangers from Maelstrom. Gangers Gangers act. Normal I that's. Probably not a good idea. What? What do you mean? I don't know.
Just like act like we belong here. It's a public transit everyone belong. Here. And the doors close and you disappear into the tunnel Once again. They've all sat there. We're going to get to this fucking place, blow the door down and steal their fucking hearts. Phoebe's Phoebe's eyes widen, and she looks at the rest of the group. Guys, did you hear that? Yes, I did. OK, no. What what did they say? Foot. Sorry, I'm listening to music. What's going on that? Thing.
Just never mind. All good. Phoebe and Vendel writes on their tile. Like those guys are going to try and steal the heart. And they show it to retro their little arrow over. There we probably have to stop them, but. Those assholes. Yeah, those. Those assholes. Yes, the ones who. Have to stop them or can we use them? Oh, we could make them do the work for us. Exactly. And then we jump them. Sure, yeah. Not a bad idea. Oh, VVVVVVVV you are, you have progressed within the group.
You are. You are reaching heights. That are inspiring me now. It's truly an honor. You know, you're you're right. I've never been like this until I started hanging out with all of you. And isn't it just so much better? I don't know. I. Retro rolled an athletics check as the train takes a right. Retro, why don't you just sit down? And retro does a really cool three-step thing and doesn't
even move. Yeah, It's just kind of like, you know, being able to digit digital surf when you can, when you're brain dance. Yeah, this is actually pretty good. This is like almost as about as close as you can at the moment. So are we going to take them out now or? You kicked the Cam. That's so gross. I'm sorry, I didn't. Will you will you sanitize me? I'm sorry, I. Touched it? Yes, I will. Oh great, now there's a spilled beer everywhere.
Oh, no. Oh no. Van Del puts their hand out and nothing comes out of Iona's sanitizer container, which means now Iona has no sanitizer. Oh no, we forgot to get sanitizer. Yeah, it will. I'm. Just a Biotechnica. I mean, now I really needed some alcohol and I could figure, Oh well, you spelled it all over the ground. Damn. Are you OK, Iona? I'm OK. I can just be dirty. Phrasing. No, no, no, no, no, no you cannot. Could you could you just move a seat away?
Well, I mean, look, there are vending machines in this train, but you'd have to walk past the Maelstrom people. Oh, that's fine. I Why? But what I I get up, I start walking all right. Get up. Walk past them. Do do do you excuse? Me just roll athletics. Oh God. Oh, as you walk forward, the train doesn't turn, but one of the maelstrom guys sticks his foot out to try and trip you, and you step over it and he starts to laugh at you. I don't even look.
I continue walking. I'm at a vending machine. The vending machine has a sanitizer canister in it, but this is an on the move vending machine, so it costs 75 Eddie's. Man, they're really jacking those crashes. It is a convenience fee. Yeah, well. I am going to think about what I'm going to do. I'm What is cryptography? How's your accounting? My accounting's pretty good. 'Cause then you could just, you know, make it a What's it a business expense?
Oh, yes, but my criminology is There we go. All right. From all of my time watching Retro and Jeb Fonzay things, I am going to, without turning around and looking at anybody for reassurance, I'm going to take a nail file from inside of my bag and I'm going to pry open the keypad and do what I think it is that Remy does when he hacks things and cross some wires here. And do you want to know the DV before you roll? Yeah, sure. Great.
You're trying to imitate retro. You've known him for years now. So I'm going to say that this is a difficult task, not a professional task. OK? And it is a 15. All right. I'll put some luck into it. After all, you want to be level headed for this midnight market? OK, I'm going to use three Luck then. Oh shit. Well. 15 You you meet the DV, but then get an extra 3 on top. Because of that luck, the machine also spits up 10 eddies.
I collected, very nonchalant and turn around and just walk back. Why are they standing up now? Why are they standing up now? Do you load the canister into your arm before you leave the vetting machine? No, because I turned around and I have the canister in my hand and I see that they're standing up. I just put it in my bag. See, little Missy, you stepped onto our side of the train. Oh goodness we. All side of the. Train. It's public transportation. No, no, no. She can sees it.
This is ours. We sit here, the vending machines. All of this side of the train is ours. Now you're stuck in this train as it goes to wherever the fuck anywhere is, and you have a problem. Oh. And it's me. Oh sure. You know, this is very elementary of you like cordoning off your own section of transport. I was so graciously letting you sit here because in fact you are on my train car and I look at the rest of the team and I'm like, stand up, stand up. Oh my God, I'm so sorry.
Sir. Sir, please. You you you didn't mean it right. Didn't mean it. Now you're stepping onto the. Side No, no, no. Cece, I I own a they they didn't mean it. They didn't mean it. Please, please, you don't. Want to fuck with Maelstrom? Because you're really close to all king with Maelstrom.
And as soon as he says that, you know, Remy's just been dancing to his music, listening to that, and as he's been dancing half paying attention has, you know, started hacky sacking the can that was on there and kicks it directly into the face of that maelstrom guy. Oh, cool. Yeah, that is that is genuinely A1. I just rolled and it spanks into the back of his head and cuts to the side of his head and he loses 1 HP spank. Fuck. And now he smells like spilled
beer. Probably is an upgrade going. To be a bitch. To clean out of all of my cyber tech that I'm going to fuck you up with. Like I said, you are on our train. Sorry, I wasn't listening. What'd you say? I. Said roll for initiative. Are you looking for an adventure? Then join the four 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, these were different cards. I I swear. And Shelly the sorcerer. Man, if we get put in jail again for this, I'm be real upset. Join their journey as they roll the dice, dice, battle, fearsome monsters. I rolled a 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. Nobody talks to my boss like that. Vandelle, what is your? Speed. I. Never know if you never. Know which is 6 boxes. 6 squares you. Can move one. 2345 Yeah, Bam Vandelle is going to come up behind the scaver and put him in a chokehold. Oh, damn. OK. Why not? Rope rolling. Yeah, sure. Oh. That's fucking one. That's crit.
Fail that again and that's six. That's minus. 6. So they rolled 10 because they got a crit fail -6. 35. 35 versus 10. So yes, then they'll grabs this Maelstrom goon from behind and causes them to be ensnared by Vendel. They now can't use a move action, and they'll be dragged with the attacker when the attacker moves, and the attacker can end the grapple at any time. So when we choose to let go of them, are they choking them? No, just holding them. OK, so they've now got this
ganger held. Does Vendel do anything else? Yeah, do I do anything else? Maybe intimidate them a little bit. You feel this metal against your neck? That's a gun. Don't move. Does that work? That's perfect. Great. One of the guys at the back of the train panicked and he moves to the back of the vehicle and hides behind a chair. Fuck, don't hurt me. You're all right. We're not here for you. Oh, what's going on? And one of the guys actually walks forward and starts to
watch the fight from afar. Cool, it's. Cool. Yeah, you never see. I mean, you never get to see a fight up this close the city normally. Please stay back. Stay back. This is dangerous. Can I? Can I take pictures? Sure. Really. Oh, I expected most people to say no. Cool. I'll take evidence of this fight. Of these gangers attacking innocent people on the train? Yeah, you should. Yeah, that's right. This is this is an atrocity. Show that the maelstrom are causing problems.
We're causing problems. Publicly embarrassing. We're a problem for. You you should be embarrassed. I kind of hate this guy. It's your turn. Oh, I'm I. Thought you were narratively doing stuff too. Busy talking. Shit, yes, I will get out of my seat finally and walk over and you know I'm going to swing this guy in the face with my bat. Sweet. Well, I rolled to hit them and I rolled well, but my damage not so well all. Right. Well, they get to roll evasion,
so we'll see 16 Not enough. And you hit them in the side of the body with a baseball bat. 7 damage minus their armor, which is not a lot. Yeah, sucks, doesn't it? Yeah, maybe. You should sucks at. Least three months, right? Man, I told you. I told you not to not to fuck with Iona, and you did it. I don't want to tell you. Wow, fuck, that's. Winning the baseball bat. Again, I rolled it. I only rolled it two. You hit him for 14 damage. This. Time much better. Yeah. Hurts, doesn't it?
Sorry, but I don't know why I'm saying sorry to you. That's below half health. Oh no, look at this person who's attacking us, I say to the camera. You. Yeah. He puts his hand out and you smack his hand so hard it clicks off at the wrist and he fucking loses it as it skirts across the whole of the train car and slides in front of the guy who was taking photographs. And he starts taking pictures of this like hand on the IT is a cyber tech hand but you have
removed dismembered hand. The dismembered hand is gone. They drop any items in their hand immediately and their base save death penalty is increased by 1. To fix this is a surgery DV 17. You know this as a medical expert and you know it's going to be expensive and timely to get that thing back on with how you ripped it off with a fucking baseball bat. That's rough for you, my friend. I can tell you that is not going to be easy to get back on and
it's going to be expensive. Yeah, you maelstrom. You know, if you weren't so bogged up. Whoa. You know. Maybe you wouldn't have any problems. Yeah, I mean they're more machine than they are person, so. Yeah, but we're really going to use the B word like that. That's. What? They are really. OK, You know what? Fine. No, I agree. You should embarrass them, baby. You. Have you used all your movement? You've used most of it. Cool. Do you want to this is the end of the turn?
Do you want to move away? Yeah, I'll make a step that away from them. Vivi, you step slightly away from this guy as he stares at his now stump of an arm. All right. A missing hand guy. Don't worry. Don't worry. This will be over soon. And I I have Black Gladden as as we say in the biz. You pull your gun out and you point it at him at fairly close range on a. Train. You are 10 feet away from this guy. We're not allowed to shoot on tries. Do you know how loud that's
going to be? The bullet could maybe also ricochet and fly over. He's already said it. He's already. Pulled the trigger. Listen, guns are always. I know, right? I have tinnitus. Had it since I was a kid. Been shooting Grand Pappy's guns ever since he was still alive. God rest his soul. Which makes sense why Jeff didn't hear you say that as they cocked the trigger back and fire. As I blad blad him.
Two shots, a 25 and a 26. This person's this person's reflex is not above 8, so both of those hit them. Since they are only 10 feet away, you hit them for 9 damage and then you hit them for 15 damage. And in the process of shooting them twice, you kill them dead and they fall. Yes. Yep. Told you. Told you. All right, We don't have to do this anymore. I I would prefer we not kill these gangers. You wait your turn. Whoa, this. 1. Yeah. Well, it's a good thing. It's still our turn.
Go ahead, Retro. That's good music, yeah. Retro, it's your turn. Retro. What? What's? What's going on? Why are you guys interrupting? We're in a fight, Retro. It's your turn. Fuck, God damn it. Who are we fighting? Nelstrom. These fucking LED heads. Yes. Yeah. All right, hold on. Let's see here 4. I'm going to move the four defeat. What is that guy right here that's right in front of me? He's looking, well, pretty dumb looking.
Hey man, I'm I'm just, you know, I don't really want to do anything, but like, I'm just going to give you to the count of two to just sit down and shut the fuck up. He flips you off. All right. And then I shoot his finger. What? Fuck you, is. That a name shock. Yeah. Oh, OK, so that's no fucking way. What happened? He did an aim shot. That's minus 88765, which means he rolled A-15 with this 23. Retro, shoots the tip of this guy's finger off, shoots him in the hand, causing 14 damage.
And that guy's finger, the top two links of it are gone. You can still use his hand. There's just one finger, But he is now missing a finger because you shot it and you made the aim shot. Wow. Yeah, why don't you get a piece of metal and shove that on there for you? Fuck you. They. Are if I had two, if I had two rounds of fire on this, I'd shoot that other one off. Oh, you guys. Fuck you. Big words come from the from the guy who just lost a friend and a
finger. Is that the end of your turn, retro? I would like to hold the rest of my turn for a certain event. Sure. The boss of this crew finally gets his turn and he looks at Jeb. Cowboy Yep. After killing his dear friend, fuck and shoots you with his gun. Take this. Jeb beat of 13, that's what it's compliant towards you. Sure thought. 20 watts. Nothing. Then do it. The bullets fly past you. He has a red fire one with that gun and they zoom past your head
and fly behind you. I now have to roll for the person directly behind you taking photos. Oh shit. Hey, sorry buddy, I didn't know. He did not roll high enough. He also doesn't have a reflux above 8, so he does get hit for 19 damage and that guy only has 20 health, so he is now on the ground. He has very little health and he has. Yeah, yeah, I did tell him to stand back.
The dismembered Cybertek hand on the ground gets hit with an errant bullet from the assault rifle and shoves itself into his stomach, and he is now bleeding with half a hand sticking out of it. Oh. Hey, just smile. That's definitely not. I mean, that's not on me. I just dodged the bullet. OK? You don't don't get mad at me. That's all I'm saying. Don't. Oh God, at. Least this fight is funny. My endless guess sucks. You suck. He takes a few steps forward. Well, you.
Suck and he shoves the the dead maelstrom guy onto one of the chairs so he can look directly at you, he says. One less to pay. When I steal that heart, I'm going to be a fucking rich man. Oh. Wait, what? What? No, no, no. It was more of a realisation that we may be aligned in some ways. One of the maelstrom scathers on this train looks at VV I've. Got a baseball bat 2 beat this. Beat in 18, not enough. You get hit in the side for 17 damage minus your armor. Oh, OK. Ow, owie.
Owie. At least you must. Be really hard if that's. How you say OW? I really hate this guy. I am. That's a. Good thing I have two attacks. Get what? B at 17. I'm going to put 2 lock points into this one. True. You. You meet, you meet, and you glance his baseball bat off with your own and it makes a cool, like, sword fighting noise, Yeah. I guess is it wooden or a metal baseball? Bat They're both metal. OK. So it does go to chain, yeah. You were saying? Yeah, I didn't think so.
The other Maelstrom goon comes over to Iona and tries to hit Iona with a baseball bat. BF 15. You dodged the first shot. Oh fuck I. Didn't know Colbert could move. It. Is your perception. Of corpus. That's a crit 20. That was a 19 + 1 roll evasion. If you can. Beat 20. I'm just going to take the hit like a champ. Oh, all right. And he smacks you in the body because he didn't call a shot on your head and you take 8 damage.
Still hurts. Yeah, listen, if you want to hurt us, you're going to have to try harder than that. But I advise you not to, and I pull out my gun and point it at this person's stomach. Do you press it against the stomach or do you take a step back? Oh, wow. OK, I get in closer. Oh, shit. All right, roll for him. For what? Are you going to shoot him? No, you're. Just trying to try and intimidate. You're going to shoot a gun on a train? I'm not a maniac. You're not Chad it? Was so bad.
Listen, listen, if you could, I'm pointing the gun directly at them, pressing it pretty heftily into their stomach. I'm just. Heftily. I know. I really wish that your boss hadn't moved, because this should be him on the other end of my gun. What is your name? I'm talking to the boss. My. Name is Joe. Oh, good. I'm glad that you just gave us your name. This is really good. Opsec does. It. Matter, since you know it does because I'm going to use, you use. Me. I don't think so.
We want the same thing. We do. We want the same. Thing all right. We do, we do, and I think we can help each other roll. Persuasion. I would love to roll Persuasion. This is your turn in combat. That's what you want to do. That's. What I'm doing, that's what I want to do. I'm going to fuck fuck it. I'm going to use lock try to take two lock. Get crazy. Get crazy with 2022. Oh, I just wrote very high. Oh no. I just wrote very, very high. Oh dear.
Please I used. Luck. No. I know, I know, I know. I just. I just rolled a nine. So I'm having a look at his stats, 171717 that is A7. Holy shit, OK. Don't you? Don't you still have an inspiration? I do, but I'm going to wait to see the result and. Then they have a higher persuasion than you base 14 + 9. What? Base 14 + 9 seven cool 7 persuasion. 23 and I got 22. Yep. Motherfucker they're. Also like Ganger, so the the the likely. This makes sense to me.
The likelihood of them wanting to join you randomly meeting you on a train is very low. But I'm trying to be so intimidating. You are being intimidating. It's close enough that he he is far away from you and you have intimidated this one guy in front of you. You've got a gun in his, in his, in his stomach. But the dice said no. That's fine. That's fine. So what does he say?
I'm not here to work for Corpus. I'm here to take your shits and then charge someone else too much for it and make a fucking fortune. Well, if I include you motherfuckers, I've got to cut in five bastards. I got. I got proposal. Hi. You might know me. I'm. I'm Jeb. World renowned. Or at least city renowned. Racer. Notoriously cash flush. And if you steal with the heart for us, I will pay you double what whatever mail strim he's offering. I already failed on persuasion, my guy.
If you want to do that, you have to where you turn. Well, that's there. Carry on. Ayanna, do you do anything else with your turn? Can I elbow this guy in the face? This is. Front of me. Rob Brawling, OK? Fuck. Embarrassing. You, you very much miss. I'm going to have them roll evasion just in case. Yep, they beat that. They dodge, and they managed to step back from having the gun pressed into their stomach Dick.
All right. Vendel is grabbing on to this maelstrom scabber, holding them from behind, and they try and struggle free. They're all A2, so unless you roll A1 they get away. I'm sorry if you roll the one, they get away everything else and they stay stuck. Oh amazing. Yeah, Bendel holds on for an 18. Don't. You fucking dare. Get off me. Fuck.
One of the other passengers at the back of the train starts to panic with all the blood and runs back towards the back hiding behind some of the chairs. Oh God, please don't hurt me. I don't want to get shot like that guy hand in his stomach. Oh. God, I've got like 1 HP like fuck. No. Then it's the guy who's dead, and everyone just looks at him. He's just dead. Sitting in a chair with a hand missing, huh? Yeah, and. Then it's Vendel's turn.
Vendel's just going to keep holding on and what do you? Want me to hurt him? I could. No. To punch him for being a Dick. It's a body we can use. I mean, I guess. I mean, just because the boss doesn't want to join us, doesn't mean that if we don't kill the boss that they have anywhere to go, right? But I could shoot someone else. Oh sure, do you want to shoot the boss? Yeah, Yeah, Joe. Yeah. I get to shoot you now because my boss said yes. Wouldn't wouldn't that be fun? Wouldn't that?
Doesn't that sound just? Lovely. They can only shoot once because they have to hold on to this guy. It's OK. It's only got to write a fire at one anyway. Oh my fucking God. They They miss I. Don't play this game anymore, guys. Oh, he. Seriously, Wendell? Wendell rolls a crit fail -6 and instead of shooting Joe, they blow this guy's ear off in front of them. Oh my. God. Which you can imagine may de incentivize them from working with you. And that person takes 16 damage.
They also go below half health and been hit in the head. And this guy, the ringing in his ear, you watch his eyes roll into his back and he faints in Bell's Vendel's arms a little bit and then comes back and it looks like he's got a pretty bad concussion. -2 to all actions paramedic DV13. Vandal. Sorry. Fuck, he's just really close and kind of a Dick. There's a guy at the back who screams at the sound of the gun
shop. The man with the hand sticking out of his chest continues to scream in the background. I'm going to, I think I'm going to help that poor, that poor guy. That poor guy. Sounds like a good plan. That's right. Yeah. Happily zoom. This guy, this guy is moving. Oh, back there. I'll be able to reach him. If you don't shoot and run to him, you can actually do W movement. OK. I will run to him. All right, All right. You can like knee slide and try
and help him. OK, all right, all right. Let me let me help you real quick and I'm going to try to get the hand out of him and cauterize the wound. I guess sounds good. Be aware that you are be aware if you fail this, he will die. Here's more. Why? You know he's gonna die anyway. Just remember that. Ignore it. I just rolled. Bribery. That was a misflick. Someone's nervous? No. No, you're just gonna you're just gonna convince him with money to get better?
Here's a few idiots. All right, this is as I this is really bad. Just just to hold still, this is this you're we're going to patch you up. You're going to be OK. I. Took some great photos. You're older than 18. And you pull the hand out, and then with your other hand, you just very quickly cauterize him and then smack a Med pack on his chest. You roll tight enough that it only cost you about 50 eddies in terms of materials, which is
pretty great. But you stabilize him and get to give him because you're stabilizing just one D6 in a fight. HP five. Holy crap, yeah, you do a really good job. There's two very good roles. You're. Going to be all right, buddy? And next time, when a doctor tells you to get out of the way, get out of the way, OK? You help me get into this chair so I've got something to cover. Yep. Yeah, and you push him into a chair which is behind a part of the bulkhead, so he now cannot
see the fight. But he also probably can't get shot either. Nice, Jeb. Well, there's really only thing that can be done of the situation like this. And Mr. Boss Man. Mr. Boss Man. Yes, great. I just wanted to take a look over here and see who's going to shoot you twice. It's it's me. Oh. We'll suit you once and at least. One bullet goes errand.
It does fly across the room. You rolled high enough that you don't accidentally shoot Iona. You do however, break one of the vending machines at the end of the groom and it ceases to function. Will break or open. It fizzles and everything inside gets filled with safety foam and is ruined. You're on a crypto don't get anything fuck from the fire suppression system because it's on a vehicle. You are the bullet.
However it does hit him. He doesn't have a Reflex of over 8, so he doesn't get to dodge this and you cause 9 damage. Nice. Nice. You know, I feel like it's it's very appropriate for a cyberpunk vending machine to destroy the product as opposed. At. Any point that in instead it might be stolen. Instead it's just let's just destroy it. Like if if you're not going to pay us for it, then we're going to just lose money but also destroy the product, yeah. Right.
Do you do anything with your turn? Anything else with your turn? No. Ever Enroll Athletics? So since you're saying that this is the meant, this is the event I was looking for, all right, right. And I was wanting to use the rest of my turn to help use that forward momentum to get towards here and help use the forward momentum of the train to help me slide across towards the boss. OK.
Are you shooting as you do that? No, what I'm doing is I'm sliding with my dominant foot, right foot up and kicking him in the testicle area and then using the momentum of my leg as he's falling down to lift myself up, crushing his testicles with my boot as they come down. Sounds like an aim shot to me. Good luck. I'll put three points of luck into that. Everyone rolled high enough on Athletics and you don't lose your footing. I. Call brawling.
Nico brawling. I'm kicking him in the balls. Yeah, works for me. 19 + 3, right? And that's minus. Remember, he's got a higher vision. Be 14. He rolls. He rolls in 11. Well, I have above 11 because I have 14. You have 14? Well then. Remember I put three points of luck into that. Yes, you. Did he?
He did not roll high enough. Right, so I use the form of momentum of the train, slide across, kick him in the testicles, use the momentum of him falling over to propel myself up, crushing his testicles at the same time under my boot, lifting my rifle up to his face and whisper to him, suck on this and then fire right and directly into his face. Oh. His bitch. Heavy melee weapon is oh, I'm gonna attack melee weapon. I think that's what 3D6? I think VV you have a heavy
melee weapon, right? Is it a heavy? I don't think it's heavy A. Very heavy pistol. No, the melee weapon. Sorry. The Media Melee. Yes, media. Yeah, heavy kicking. Some of the balls IS3D6, I've decided. OK, 3D6. Oh, that's a six. And that's 11 damage to this guy right in the nuts. You rolled well enough that it goes past his armor. You managed to avoid that by kicking in the nuts, because you did all of that business.
That's good. The one place that they didn't Chrome up. And then you shoot him, correct? Yeah, directly in the face. Cool roll for it. That's not very. Good. I'm going to use my point of inspiration. Fuck off. I put too much cool into this. I got a. 24 Yes, he does not have an evasion. You are literally point blank. You shoot him in the head, even as an aim shot that is high, causing 15 damage to his head, causing a critical injury to his head.
Or does he get a critical injury to his nuts too? Since I. No, because it wasn't a crit and he didn't go below it. Was an aim shot. It was an aim shot, but he doesn't know he gets. He got more damage and then OK, cool, that's the wrong one. I need another. All right, you crack one of his cyber eyes, you kick him in the nuts and you caused 15 damage. Yeah, he is now on the ground. He's got whiplash, but he also now has lost an eye, so he's got -4 to all ranged attacks.
Sucks for him. And it's his turn, and he looks at you and tries to shoot you, rolling a nine. He misses. Whoa, easy, buddy. What are you getting so angry about? You. Motherfucker. For you, you shot us in general. One of the other maelstrom who's right next to you, Retro tries to hit you with his baseball bat. Roll. Evasion. Beaten 18. Oh. No, no. You get hit for 11 damage and it hurts. Oh. Man. And I just put more pressure on my foot.
That's crushing his ball sack. And I'm going to roll 1D four, see if he gets any more damage. He takes one more damage. I cut the tip on that one. And then another he the a guy tries to swing the baseball bat at you. The train moves ever slightly, not causing anyone else to jostle, but enough for his baseball bat to fly out of his hand and fly across the room and land next to the the maelstrom scabber. Who's looking at Iona? Fuck. Shit swinging a miss on that
one, bud. That's that guy's turn. He looks at Iona, pulls out his pistol. Fuck you and shoots you. Fuck you. Hitting you for 10 damage that. Fucking sucks. I really shouldn't have done that. Again. Rolling a crit. Success, he calls his five damage. Fuck out. Out. Not my shoulder. Yeah, he shot you in the shoulder. Breton scar that you hate. I really didn't want to have to do this. I pull out my room where IP edition handgun and I shoot What? Fuck you.
Shoot him for 12 damage, running a six and A1 and A5. Nice. How about another one? What? No another one. You shoot him for seven damage, causing him to go under half health. He also takes a body injury dismembered leg. You've shot through the tendon near his hip and his left leg goes limp and tears slightly off and gets the Cybertek starts sparking and he falls to the ground. Yeah, it hurts, doesn't it? Yes. We don't have to do this.
The guy who's struggling to get out of Vendel's grass but rolled A1. Man, this dice sucks. Rolled A1 and like actively sprains his own ankle trying to get out of this grasp and causes himself three damage. Oh. Fuck, that's me. That's me being dumb. That guy's having a bad day. Yeah, he's not doing too great. Vendel tightens their grip. Yeah, that's right. Take that bitch. It's my turn. I should shoot Joe, right? That guy sucks. We should kill him.
Yeah, definitely. OK. Hey Joe. Fuck you. And Vendel tries to shoot Joe. Oh. My God. Crit failed. Oh my God. It's the guy that they're grappling again now. Now the other ear. They tried to shoot with the other hand, failing miserably, causing this guy 14 damage, and they blow a hole through his head because that's more damage than he has. And now Vendel's just holding a dead guy. You can you can drop him, It's all right. Oh shit. Fuck. Sorry. Sorry everyone.
I didn't. I actually didn't mean to. That was my bad, I know. Drops him to the ground. Does that kind of a red of fire of two? No. Yeah. No, it doesn't. You're also holding a guy, so. No, not anymore. He's dead. I dropped him on the ground. He's right there. See. No, no, it's just one. OK. And some of the people at the back of the car move around and it's Phoebe's turn. Do I see anybody from where I am that's still alive that I can maybe shoot? Yeah, you'd be up to.
Yeah, you can see that it's far. You'd probably want to move back. Yeah, I'll move 1/2. 30 feet there you. Go. All right. I'll take a I'll take a shot. Yes, with my Sanru. Hello, cutie. Ultra K8 Assault pistol. I take a shot. And you cause a crit 25 causing 10 damage to this guy. Let's. Take the. Hit. Plus. More damage. Taking him under half health, causing him to take a body injury. You break his leg, he now has -4 to move. Oh shit. Oh. Thank God you're going to shoot me once.
Wait, no. That's. That's how. Cute, isn't it? It is Oh. Fuck. And as he says, fuck. I'm assuming you pull the trigger. Yep, hitting him for eight damage. That guy is very worse for wear and is almost dead. It's not going to last too much longer. Listen, I told you, I told you and I'm. I'm going to go ahead and finish you off. Don't worry about it. We'll be quick and finals. Bye bye are. You shooting the guy who was just shot? Yeah, yeah, I'm finishing him off.
OK, yes, your first shot finishes him off. Ah well, the second one. Hey big boss, it's coming at you. What? That's fine. That's 26. So here's The funny thing. Including armor and stuff, he only has seven health left, so he dies. Yep, there it is. There's a 2 Fer. And there's only one Maelstrom Scava left and he has broken leg and he's lying on the ground in front of Iona and I'm going to take that as combat being over. Here, you want to get out of here. You want to take.
The next stop is this. Oh, oh, look at that. Is this your stop? Oh man, that felt like the longest train ride of my life. It was only like 18 seconds. Give or take. Oh, I robbed Joe. Feel free, Vivi, could you could you patch me up while we? Yes. I guess throw this guy off the train. Yeah, let me let me take a look. Unless, unless you want to tell us what you were going to do, steal. The thing was on the. News. Yeah. Did did you have did you have a plan? Guns. All right.
Are. You checking out the window, He flies into the distance and you hear him squelch on the tracks. He hits the third rail and he gets filled with electricity and his wailing screams as he dies echoes through the tunnel as you disappear into the distance. The train comes to a stop and you arrive at station 0. I didn't think it was going to be this gruesome. I mean, if we're going anywhere, there's going to be blood on the ground if I've ordered anything
magic. Too. Hey, at least I can mark off defenestration on our bingo card. Now what? Was that word you just used? Defenestration. What was that like? When you throw somebody through a window, oh. You say this to Jeb. As you step off the train onto this platform, the people in the train look at you kind of unknowing as the doors close behind you and the train leaves. Listen nice. I hope they're OK, Phoebe, it was good of you to patch that guy up. Oh yeah.
He was. He was pretty close to death there. Yeah, he. Could have died. Perhaps you? I appreciate you that for that. Yeah. Also, thank you for patching me up. I got shot in the same fucking shoulder. Well, in. The same spot. Guess you're just unlucky. I might have to go to physical therapy. That does help. Well, Iona, you always love seeing sore tooth. Right, Great. Next time on no latency. We go shopping. Gisner snaps. All right, let's check out the vending machines.
Those those are canonically sweet, right? The important thing is I got this plushy but there are some other useful things in here is. There a show off button it's. Government mandated. Oh God, I don't know what the hell you doing. I mean, I I think that it was fantastic. My heart's racing right now. I mean, I mean just. I'm here for the market. We are. What? Yeah, don't go to the one all the way at the far, right. I blew that sucker up. Iona Popescu.
Oh no, Van Dale's the one with the robot. Like I think they should do it. I mean, that doesn't make sense. Staff doesn't knock. A lot of big suits here. Retro I would. Love a Chiz Narea. Nice. Green Glow Martini. I feel a little out of my element being so fancy. I am satisfied. Oh oh shit, I missed the last like 30 minutes of the string. Jeb, can you read lips? Yeah, I would like to just examine this dead body, basically the message I relay. Is that I think you can get in
through the bathroom. All right, hopefully you nobody heard that. Thank you for joining us on our adventure once again here at No Latency. Don't forget to follow us on Twitter at No Latency Pod, check out our website at nolatencypodcast.com.
