0:00

They're gonna grab you , friend , and I'm sorry but

0:02

I'm not here for him and I don't know that you're

0:04

gonna stop them .

0:05

Then waste some time talking to you .

0:10

He looks like he's trying to find his

0:12

guy right , so he's coming out

0:14

of that section . So

0:24

bad , but .

0:25

I got , I got all this stuff , I See

0:30

, see man .

0:32

One GM , one player one

0:34

hour and we go to 11 . Let

0:39

me bring up my note

0:41

file jolt , number five

0:44

, right

0:47

along . I just

0:49

wrapped up my last role master game

0:52

Sunday . It was

0:54

kind of bittersweet , it was good , it was good anything

0:56

but the group is disbanding after

0:58

Five or six sessions

1:00

, like we had planned to . Uh

1:03

, I saw that .

1:04

Yeah , that game's over . Yeah

1:06

, overall , enjoy it . Yeah , I did

1:08

, I did .

1:11

I would not advise folks to

1:13

run out and buy role master to

1:15

and Play it , unless

1:17

you really really Got

1:20

a hangar for that game or you've got some experience

1:22

with it . Um , it's

1:25

not worth it for new players to jump

1:27

in . They're better games , um

1:29

, but for nostalgia , and if you have a group

1:32

of folks that are familiar with it , like I did , uh

1:35

, or you're just super excited , right , uh

1:37

, for whatever reason uh , it was good , it

1:39

was fun , and

1:42

we're back on the Jacksonville map . Yes big

1:44

Jacksonville map . I

1:47

don't have a name for this issue yet . Uh

1:49

, it could go a bunch of different ways . Um

1:52

, so I think this one gets a name after

1:54

the fact . Uh

1:56

, depending , depending on player choices

1:59

. Uh , it could go a bunch

2:01

of different ways . Uh , I don't know . Yeah

2:04

, so , like number four , we're supposed to be jolt international

2:06

, meaning I was bringing the lawyers on board and

2:08

we never saw those lawyers . That didn't happen . We went

2:10

a different way . You did go a different

2:12

way . Yeah , so I think I have to

2:14

name them after the fact , right ? Uh

2:17

, I think we

2:20

uh I

2:22

don't even know what's on the cover right ? I think we go

2:24

to the first page and I

2:26

think Nate and his family

2:28

are still at the , at the hotel , and we

2:31

named that hotel . In my head I want to say the

2:33

Hilton , because that's where I stay at , but

2:35

that wasn't it , was it ?

2:38

It was . Oh man , I got a

2:40

look now I it feels like a hilton

2:42

, but it was basically the nicest

2:44

uh , high star , expensive

2:46

restaurant or hotel

2:49

I could find in downtown Jacksonville

2:51

.

2:51

So let me do that again . Was

2:54

it .

2:54

Hilton Garden Inn . That looks pretty decent

2:56

.

2:56

That might be right . Yeah , that

2:58

might be right . Uh , because

3:01

that's exactly what I had in my head , because when I travel

3:03

, uh , it's either the Hilton or the Marriott and

3:06

I end up accumulating points . Uh

3:08

, I'm gaming the system , not

3:10

in a bad way , but yeah .

3:11

I uh , high Regency

3:14

Jacksonville Riverfront

3:17

is one that's pretty expensive . It doesn't matter . I

3:19

could keep playing like this all the time .

3:20

It's all good . Well , yeah , hilton sounds good

3:22

, all right . So , yeah , I think you

3:25

, you folks , are still at the hotel

3:27

, uh , and I think it's uh

3:29

some days from when you talk to when

3:32

you had that , that last meeting on the on

3:34

the rooftop with cherry bomb and

3:37

, uh , orange blast . Maybe it's a day

3:39

or two later , right ? Uh , as

3:41

you are working out what

3:43

your next steps are , right .

3:45

Okay , we're basically laying low and hoping

3:48

that whatever cover cherry

3:50

bomb has given us Right is

3:53

is allowing us to hang out here

3:55

without three pains showing up .

3:57

Yes , and so far so good . Right , uh

4:00

, but it's like I don't know . 215

4:02

in the morning , 222 , 20

4:05

in the morning , and your

4:07

cell phone either beeps , chirps

4:09

, vibrates , uh , on

4:12

the On a

4:14

nightstand next to the bed . Uh

4:17

, maybe

4:19

it's not loud enough to wake everybody . Uh

4:21

, but uh .

4:26

Oh well , I've been sleeping honestly

4:28

, with all this is going on , so I'm

4:31

all sleeper . Uh , yeah , I'm

4:33

up . I have the phone , I'm moving

4:35

to the balcony and checking

4:37

it before I answer it .

4:39

Yeah , yeah , yeah , it is . Uh , it's

4:42

unknown , it's not even private

4:44

. It says unknown .

4:48

First thought in my mind red

4:50

eye , open

4:53

the slang glass door , step out on the balcony

4:55

, close it .

4:59

All right , hello and

5:02

you're right , it is red eye and

5:05

he's like son , oh

5:09

, and they brought you on the team back

5:11

then . I said you was too young and

5:14

uh , and they put it to a vote and

5:16

I think I was probably the only one that said no , and

5:20

I don't want to be the one to say to everybody

5:23

I told you so . So

5:25

what made you go and dig

5:28

up citrus , climb max and

5:30

put him in a public hospital ?

5:34

You've been sitting on that for like 30 years

5:36

. That I told you so right there . Red eye

5:38

, that's

5:40

impressive man you hold on .

5:48

It's like oh , how old are you

5:50

these days ? Why are you still so damn green

5:52

?

5:54

Listen , man . Here's

5:57

the truth of it . Obey

6:00

and I , we're working

6:02

to get you the money you need to

6:04

make it right , and

6:09

that's when we found him . Somebody

6:12

had put him in a coma , stuck

6:16

him on ice . I

6:18

couldn't leave him . He

6:25

was our teammate

6:27

man . I

6:29

don't know what he's been mixed up in . I don't know why

6:31

this happened to him . He

6:34

was one of us .

6:38

Well , I'm here

6:40

to tell you your

6:44

friends , chimera

6:46

, they're

6:48

in the process of getting him that whole hospital

6:50

shut down right now . No power , that grid , that

6:53

whole block is down . I

6:56

would try it , let's let's get him out . Uh

6:59

, I'm out of pocket right now , so

7:02

it's you and ob . Okay

7:06

, I don't have to do this , but if you do and

7:08

if ob helps you , I'll

7:12

clear the slate .

7:16

See how you cared about us . That's why you did an

7:19

ace ob when he messed

7:22

you up .

7:26

When I take out a person , I like to make sure they're dangerous and armed

7:28

. Obie's

7:31

gonna kill himself . So I , you , I

7:34

don't be part of that . You man

7:36

, I just don't know how you're still so green I

7:39

.

7:41

Got good friends they help

7:43

me . Take care of stuff . I

7:45

gotta go . All right , anything else

7:47

you can throw in my way to help out ?

7:50

It's camera . They want them . I don't know why

7:52

, but they operate on rats like us

7:54

.

7:56

Yeah , thanks

7:59

for that top . That's

8:01

it I just saw your

8:04

message Now

8:13

, you don't normally do a whole lot of voices and , as and I , you

8:15

characterize people so well that you don't need to

8:17

, but you got a voice for red eye and I just love

8:19

it . Yeah

8:23

, there are some . I do this with my kid

8:26

.

8:26

When I'm comfortable with who I'm playing , the

8:32

voice effects come a little easier

8:34

and then some are locked right in and I'm like that's who that is right

8:36

there . We

8:39

were doing the Mandalorian and he had a . I think we're recorded

8:41

. He had a job , a patron , and I will slow my voice down

8:44

. I'll do staccato kind

8:46

of stuff . I was a student and

8:49

so I'll play around with things

8:51

like that rather than accents . I don't think I do

8:53

accents great , so

8:56

I'll play around with those things that I can control . And

8:58

I locked into a voice effect . That was that patron and

9:00

I kept it because I got a really good voice . So

9:03

sometimes a lot have to do is start a

9:05

scene with the voice and

9:07

everything else kind of filled in right and

9:09

just this whole body and everything . So

9:12

that's , yes , to pay off for me .

9:14

So You're right red eye .

9:15

Yeah , yeah

9:18

, I don't know . I don't know where it came from . I

9:20

don't know where it came from . I don't

9:23

know where it came from . I don't know

9:25

where it came from . I

9:27

don't know where it came from . I

9:31

don't know where it came from . But yeah , that's it

9:33

, that's him . I can see you , yeah

9:37

, and I think that maybe

9:39

from the balcony , if we

9:41

look out into the distance , we can see

9:44

the city lights , jacksonville right , and

9:46

maybe the hospitals in that

9:48

block of or

9:50

in that section of the Jacksonville

9:53

. We can see in the night sky or in the night

9:55

skyline , and we can see a section

9:57

just dark among the

9:59

sea of lights .

10:00

I'm terrified . I love it .

10:05

Yeah . So I think , yeah , yeah , you just look down the St John's because

10:07

we're like downtown .

10:09

we look down the St John's and , yeah

10:11

, guarantee we can see that . Yeah

10:13

, for sure .

10:14

Yeah , I think this is the section just dark , right

10:17

, I'm gonna

10:19

go wake up Obi .

10:20

Well , first let me wake up my wife . Hey

10:23

, hey

10:26

, I need you up for

10:28

a sec , listen .

10:31

Yeah , she rolls over and she asks is Mason

10:33

okay ?

10:35

Yeah , yeah , yeah , listen , sarah , A

10:37

friend I told you about , he's in

10:39

some serious trouble . I

10:42

gotta take off out of here with Obi . Okay

10:44

, I'll be back , probably

10:47

bringing them right here .

10:50

All right , we're kind of turning this place into

10:53

a fortress .

10:56

Yeah , we should .

10:56

We should with that safe somewhere like a halfway house and

11:01

then she says is Maggie still

11:03

with us , Meaning

11:06

she's still helping out ?

11:08

I'll make sure she will be . And

11:12

then I'm going to get OB kind

11:15

of gentle , he's

11:18

on the couch or something . Come on , man , get

11:20

up , get up , get

11:23

up . You

11:26

gotta go say man Come on .

11:27

What Come on ? What's

11:30

going on ? He does ? He gets up . I think he's all

11:32

in his clothes , right , and maybe

11:34

it's hot pulled over right , so he gets up .

11:36

He's got to get his shoes on .

11:38

It's like , oh man , what I saw

11:41

one to the balcony .

11:42

Come look out , you see that .

11:44

Yeah , and I think that's like a splash of cold water

11:46

.

11:47

What hospitals right in the middle of that man ? Come

11:49

on , we got to go stick our nose in this mess , or Jason's

11:51

done for .

11:53

All right , I'm

11:56

following you , we're going together .

12:00

Going together .

12:01

All right , my truck's not stairs .

12:05

Yeah , I don't think we have time for the truck , brother

12:07

.

12:10

How we going together . You

12:12

know how we're going together and

12:16

how are y'all going together ?

12:19

We are going to riches

12:21

dumping points from my pool to

12:24

go into super

12:26

mode on speed and I'm

12:28

going to fire and carry his old ass

12:30

with me .

12:34

Nice , that is fantastic . I

12:36

like it , I

12:39

like it .

12:41

Now this says fast travel

12:43

, regional flight , clinging . Does

12:46

that mean that I could put him

12:48

over my shoulder of fire and carry and run

12:50

down the side of the Hilton

12:53

to hit the road ? That

12:55

is what I'm going to do .

12:57

Yep , yes

13:00

, yes , because that's the way I bought that . Yes , read

13:04

the mind . Yeah

13:08

, my thought is , I

13:10

wanted the effect that I

13:14

feel like the flash is kind

13:16

of a touchstone , so I wanted you

13:18

to be able to run across surfaces , even

13:20

if they're not horizontal , right

13:22

?

13:24

It's perfect .

13:25

Yeah , and

13:30

that was the way to do that . Yeah , nice

13:33

, yeah

13:36

, so you tell me how close to

13:38

the block of darkness

13:40

you want to get .

13:44

Oh , on the way calling Maggie

13:46

, hey , problems

13:49

need you to cover . I don't

13:51

know if you had people still on

13:53

our place , but I need

13:55

them back on if they're off .

13:57

Yeah , I assume , yeah , I assume . While you

13:59

guys are staying there , she's got cool

14:02

.

14:03

Just want to make sure it's clear .

14:04

Yeah , yeah , and

14:07

so maybe there's a point of contact at the Hilton

14:09

right that you check

14:11

in with . I love it . That

14:14

sounds cool .

14:15

Inappropriate .

14:17

And that at least puts them on alert If

14:19

you're gone , right , maybe they step

14:22

up a little bit as

14:25

a plan be , just in case who knows what else is going

14:27

on .

14:27

Yeah , Well , the way I see it

14:30

, you have to get back to your question of

14:32

how far up into the blackness do I go

14:34

? Unless it's

14:36

pitch black , I would imagine

14:38

there's still cars , there's

14:41

still headlights , so I'm just

14:44

going to go all the way to the hospital . Right

14:46

, I got reflexes . I can jump

14:48

and duck and weave . If I got it , I'm getting

14:51

to the hospital .

14:52

Yeah , it seems like it's the power grid

14:54

that's down and out in any infrastructure

14:56

that needs it Doesn't have to be

14:59

cars , and you're right , cars and

15:01

well , yeah , vehicles still

15:05

have their headlights and things like that . I think , as you

15:07

get there , this situation has been there for a little bit

15:09

. People

15:12

who live in the area or other non-hospital

15:16

facilities

15:18

, buildings or whatever they may have some candles out

15:20

. Some of them may have flashlights

15:22

that are secondary light sources , things

15:25

like that .

15:25

It's like some old ladies walking her dogs . She already

15:27

had a little flashlight on the end of

15:29

her little . Yeah , how

15:32

did OB he either ? I'm just curious

15:34

just from my mental head , cannon

15:37

, how did he handle me ? Running me

15:40

Jolt , not

15:42

Jolt , he's to me

15:44

Sorry , nobody heard that right

15:47

Zipping

15:50

down the highway with

15:53

him on my back .

15:55

So my quote , my answer . My question would be

15:57

have you both

16:00

done this before in the past ?

16:02

Yeah , I think it's been 20 or more years

16:05

, but yeah got you .

16:06

So I think , yeah . So I think

16:08

at first he's like , oh

16:11

okay , I see I remember , all

16:14

right , and he , he takes to it

16:16

old man style , like you

16:19

know we're not strapping young men

16:21

anymore but I guess , right , and

16:23

he goes with it because it's not foreign or

16:26

weird , it's just it's been a long

16:28

time , right . I

16:31

think the hospital property is pretty open

16:34

, like like most hospitals . You've got sections

16:36

you can drive up into . You've got the emergency

16:38

room section folks get into . So

16:42

again , you , you will have to talk me up

16:45

to what you're looking for

16:47

, how far you go in once you're on the

16:49

property . So you're in the block and , like

16:51

I said , that whole block and maybe a couple

16:53

of blocks . I say block but it may be that

16:55

whole grid section is down

16:57

. So you passed other buildings

17:00

, other things that are down before you get

17:02

to the hospital proper and that is completely

17:04

shut down .

17:07

Man , they

17:10

went all out and

17:14

I hope that boyfriend who eats people

17:16

ain't in here .

17:18

I say to Obey , it

17:23

will be just like yeah , thanks for not

17:25

letting me eat me man .

17:28

It's things we friends do for each other , right .

17:32

You know , I'd be okay if nobody had no

17:34

powers .

17:38

Ask me again at the end of the night .

17:44

I think he looks up and down at

17:46

the hospital and he's like I

17:52

can provide a little light . It'll

17:55

be orange .

17:58

Oh love , I love orange , light

18:01

it up .

18:03

He does right . I think he's kind

18:05

of got a glow that I

18:08

guess . A hex is like six feet , so

18:11

maybe two hexes radius

18:14

all the way around .

18:15

I'm going to head to the ICU first . Okay

18:17

, I imagine they've got a backup

18:19

generator of some kind localized to

18:21

the ICU , so hopefully it won't

18:24

be too hard to see if my

18:27

buddy's in here or not .

18:28

Inside You've got a bunch of like glue sticks

18:30

, people with glow sticks , some

18:33

flashlights

18:35

, some

18:38

panic , right , some

18:42

anxiety as they're

18:44

moving , shuffling patients around . Staff

18:48

are coming in to to beef

18:50

up . Who's here to help out things like that Chaos

18:53

? Yeah , it's a lot of chaos , not

18:56

maddening riot chaos

18:58

, but it's busy and

19:00

a lot of anxiety , a

19:02

lot of stress . Let's

19:09

start with perception check and

19:15

you're going to take a minus one on this . It's

19:19

dark Well , it's not as

19:22

lit as it could be and there's a lot

19:24

of , like I said , stress , a lot of crowds

19:27

, a

19:29

lot of there's a better word but there's a lot of . The situation

19:32

is very chaotic in this hospital at

19:34

this time .

19:34

Gotcha , I'm

19:37

going to roll my target . If

19:39

it's a minus , one would be a 10

19:41

.

19:42

Yes .

19:44

Jeez , of course I roll like gang pusters with a . Oh

19:47

, did not expect that oh

19:51

how do you not expect

19:53

to have you not played a few games would be .

19:55

Oh man , you're just warming up

19:58

. It's all right , you're warming up . I see

20:00

you ward is a little bit of ways

20:02

from the front door . You guys come in , you're

20:05

fast , I should make a difference . But

20:07

, like I said , it's kind of crowded right and you have

20:09

to navigate through that space Even

20:12

fast , traveling along

20:14

the walls , right , you're

20:17

still inside a hospital , right . So

20:20

there's some stutter , stepping and some stopping

20:22

and going , I think a couple of doctors

20:25

or other staff , because you

20:27

guys have kind of lit up , they kind

20:29

of want you to help them do other things , right

20:31

, and they're pulling for your attention and

20:33

of course they're making that plea . But this is more important

20:35

, right . Kind of thing you

20:40

change your mind if you want to . I'm assuming

20:42

you're staying on task . I got it

20:44

. So , yeah

20:47

, it's all right . I think you

20:49

get to the ICU ward and

20:52

I think you're

20:54

going to go through the door , but it opens just before

20:56

. You know how you , two people are coming through

20:58

a space at the same time , but

21:01

you're faster . And Eric Jones

21:03

comes out the other side first , but

21:07

he's in scrubs and

21:15

because you're lit up , he's like I

21:19

was hoping I'd be faster than you this time .

21:25

I knew you were coming but walk

21:29

away .

21:31

I'm not . I'm not here for your friend . I'm

21:33

here because

21:36

it's crazy right now and I got another job

21:38

. You do what you got to do . You got

21:41

to , you got to mess on your hands and

21:43

I'm not helping you . I'm not in that .

21:46

Are you working for Camara or somebody else

21:48

?

21:49

No , I'm trying to stay away from them . They'd like

21:51

to operate on rats .

21:53

Yeah , they do .

21:56

They're going to grab your friend and I'm sorry but

21:58

I'm not here for him and

22:03

I don't know that you're going to stop them .

22:09

Then wasting time talking to you .

22:15

He looks like he's trying to find his

22:17

guy , right ? So he's coming out

22:20

of that section of the ICU

22:22

where you're going in

22:24

, but his job's not done

22:26

. He's still trying to find his target

22:28

because it's a mess in here , Right

22:30

?

22:32

It's bad .

22:35

So bad , but I got , I got other stuff

22:37

.

22:40

I save CC man , all right , zip

22:43

, we're out , we're moving .

22:45

Yep , yep , yep . I think

22:47

I should have a map

22:49

for this . So we've

22:51

kind of got

22:54

. I

22:56

might just throw over top

22:58

of this . Yeah

23:00

, that's what I probably have to do here . So

23:04

I think you enter the , the , you're

23:07

in this kind of free I hate to say free

23:10

play . You're in the ward area

23:12

, right , there would

23:14

have been an administrative desk . Maybe

23:16

visitors are in this section , right , maybe

23:19

there's some room for folks who are being transferred

23:21

out of ICU into another

23:23

part . But the next section is where

23:25

all the ICU beds and things like that

23:27

are

23:29

and

23:34

you can see . Let me see

23:36

if I can throw this

23:38

out here . Is it going to ? Let

23:40

me do it ? Ah , cool , this works . So

23:43

this is kind of an overlay . This is not part

23:45

of the Jacksonville map , but

23:47

if you've got oh

23:51

, what's happening , okay , cool . If

23:55

you've got this

23:58

ooh , this is horrible You've

24:02

got this section , you and

24:04

free

24:07

pane kind of crossed

24:09

at that door , right , okay , moving

24:11

through this square

24:14

area which is that , like I said , it's kind of that

24:16

halfway area , and then beyond

24:18

that is all the ICU area and

24:21

then it's broken up , right , you've got

24:23

sections where

24:26

folks have privacy . You've got these other different . It's

24:28

broken up into different rooms and sections

24:31

and things like that . Does that make sense ? Yes

24:33

, as

24:36

you walk in there you can see , especially

24:41

with OB's orange flashlight

24:43

ability right , you can see the far

24:45

end of the wall on this map , the

24:47

north end , the top end . I

24:51

want to say folks

24:55

entering from outside into

24:58

the facility through

25:00

the glass window . So they're , I don't want to

25:02

say it shatters , I want to say it's kind of

25:04

like spy cut right , precision

25:06

cut , and they remove a big old section

25:09

of the glass out and folks are just piling

25:11

in . These are Chimera agents coming

25:13

into the ICU unit .

25:16

Spy cut yeah .

25:18

I don't know what else to call it , but we see it in spy movies . They

25:21

don't want to make a mess right , they don't want to shatter it

25:23

, right , but it's kind of precision cut

25:26

just for what they need , right , and

25:28

then it's moved out of the way . Yeah

25:30

, so it's like that . And then

25:33

, yeah , the room is starting

25:35

to fill up with Chimera agents . They've

25:38

got night vision on right . While

25:42

there's a bunch of them . They're moving quiet , right

25:44

, like orchestration . It's

25:46

like a dance , like a ballet

25:48

.

25:50

Send no , be down , light

25:53

them up .

25:58

Uh , let's move

26:00

to the speed chart .

26:02

Mm , hmm .

26:07

Uh , segment one , nobody goes . It's

26:10

you and you alone . On

26:12

segment two .

26:16

I think I am going to adjust my

26:18

power pool , for can't

26:20

touch this and

26:22

multi slap .

26:24

Nice Is there is an area

26:27

effect here . Yes , it is yes

26:30

.

26:32

Yep , uh , I'm , I'm

26:34

going to move in and try to

26:36

multi slap these fools , uh

26:41

.

26:55

I got to move . I have stats

26:57

. I just need to move them from where they are , don't

27:00

over here . I'm

27:06

going to move the pool . Oh

27:16

yeah

27:23

, yeah

27:25

, yeah yeah

27:38

. All

27:40

right , it's on you . Uh , I

27:43

was just getting my head back around these area effect

27:45

rules . No hand , yeah

27:47

, and so you are

27:49

rolling to set the difficulty

27:51

for their Defense

27:55

. Check , okay

27:57

, all right

28:00

, uh , and

28:02

my some . So we're kind of theater of the mind

28:04

because we don't have hexes down here . You're

28:07

positioning yourself to get

28:09

the best , uh

28:11

, the most amount of targets

28:13

in your area . Effect , yeah , Absolutely

28:15

. Now I also have to say

28:18

uh , we know these primary agents

28:20

are hazards . Uh

28:22

, so as you engage a squad

28:24

, right , they auto because you're in the same

28:26

hex . No one of

28:29

them , not all of them , yeah

28:32

. I don't even know how that works . We

28:36

see how it plays out . It may not matter .

28:38

Okay .

28:44

All right , so you will

28:46

roll versus a DC , versus

28:49

a CV of six , because you're just

28:51

got to target the hex .

28:55

Okay , cv

28:57

of six , so just 3d6

29:00

.

29:00

Mm , hmm , um , your CV

29:03

minus six plus 11 , or however

29:05

you do the math .

29:06

Okay , where's the CV at on here

29:08

, man , I'm sorry . Oh no , sir , right , it's

29:15

just your decks . Okay , I wanted to say that because

29:17

that's what I thought it was before

29:20

, so yeah , sometimes we buy levels and

29:23

bonuses just for offensive combat .

29:28

And then it's those plus your decks , and then it's

29:30

OCV . But if you're a player , you're going to be

29:32

able to get a lot of damage

29:34

Plus your decks , and then it's OCV

29:36

. But if you don't have those , it's the same as

29:38

your decks .

29:40

All right , I just gave myself a little cheat sheet

29:43

there for future .

29:44

Yeah , no , I'm with you . I'm with you . I'm trying

29:46

to not step on the new

29:48

terms versus the old terms .

29:52

So it is six minus

29:55

my OCV .

29:57

Now it's the other way . It's your , your CV

30:00

, minus six , and

30:02

then the base is 11 . So it's always plus 11

30:05

.

30:08

So five plus 11 plus 3d6

30:11

.

30:16

No . So , and this is Ron

30:18

Edwards in my head , and I knew it's algebra

30:21

and everyone , even in old champions

30:23

, everyone always did it differently , and

30:25

then I always wanted to . Hey

30:27

, I don't want to get in an argument with how you do the math

30:30

. So the formula is for attacks

30:32

, it's 11 , right , this

30:36

is your target number , 11 . Plus

30:40

your OCV in

30:42

this case your decks minus

30:44

the DCV In this case , it's

30:46

the six for the

30:48

hex . That's

30:52

the target number that you're going to roll on 3d6

30:55

or less . Does

30:57

that make sense ?

30:58

That makes . That makes perfect sense . Thank you

31:00

for letting me write it out as a formula

31:03

, so . I'm just going to roll , oh

31:08

frickin three .

31:09

No , that's good . Three is oh no , not

31:11

in this case .

31:12

No , not in this case . It's the other way around

31:14

, because I want to set their target

31:16

.

31:17

And this is the thing that jacks me up . The math is

31:19

fine , it just doesn't feel right

31:21

, right , no eight , right Eight

31:24

, 13 .

31:27

All right . They got to roll over eight Right

31:29

.

31:29

No , so eight . So we go back

31:31

to that formula . Right , for

31:33

them it's going to be 11 plus their

31:36

OCV , minus the eight

31:38

. Right , so

31:44

they're at a . Their

31:48

CV is six . That's

31:57

interesting Because

32:00

they auto head , they don't have CVs

32:02

. What is

32:04

the base decks

32:06

? For regular old human , I

32:11

think it's 10 . All

32:19

right , so I'm going to put a star in this . I'm going to make them both six

32:21

, because that's a six two , and so

32:23

they're taking a minus two . So

32:28

for them it's 11 plus

32:30

six , minus the eight . You

32:33

see where I got the minus two from . So

32:36

I need nines or less . I've

32:39

got three squads in here , so

32:41

I'm going to roll for all three squads . If

32:44

I roll for all three squads , I

32:46

think that means you're closer to

32:48

them than you are to Ooby

32:50

.

32:53

Okay , that seems fair .

32:57

And a

33:01

squad is roughly four or five folks , but

33:06

so the baker's dozen of

33:08

these guys . Yes , there's a lot of them , right

33:10

, but at the

33:12

game level , at the mechanics level , we're dealing with

33:15

three entities , right ? Not 15

33:17

, right ?

33:18

Right , like minion rules , gotcha yeah

33:20

.

33:20

Like minion rules , yes , except

33:23

for because

33:25

they're hazards hazards of pain in the ass . A

33:27

squad of five is still as strong , even

33:30

when they're down to one guy . They're still strong as five

33:32

, Right Like .

33:33

D&D hit points .

33:34

You got to kill that dude , right , he's still a pain in

33:36

the ass . Not kill

33:38

, but you know , neutralize . So

33:41

here we go . I'm

33:53

sorry , second number kid , I thought he was coming out with , so

33:56

take care of business and I wasn't

33:58

sure what was happening . Oh

34:04

, all right , give me the slap

34:06

damage .

34:10

Okay , this lap damage is

34:13

6D6

34:16

. I'm

34:19

a , I'm a throw 66 that

34:21

you here comes , so

34:30

that is a 24

34:32

. And then when we count up one

34:35

, two , three , four , five , six

34:37

, seven , okay

34:41

, did that right . You might want to double check it .

34:43

Yep , now that's four , five

34:46

, six , seven . Yep , I

34:49

forget what kind of advantages you've

34:51

got on that .

34:58

It is a area that no

35:00

range severe . Yeah , yeah , yeah

35:02

, yeah , sphere .

35:03

Yes . So from your

35:05

hex , let's say so

35:08

. Well , you're going to have some choices here in a minute

35:10

. We got three squads right

35:12

. The damage will drop off the

35:14

further they are away from

35:16

your target square . Okay , makes

35:18

sense . I . The

35:21

damage has a severe penalty , a

35:23

severe advantage on it , and I believe

35:25

that means it will bypass regular

35:28

defenses for stun up

35:30

, for knockout , and

35:35

I think we did this before and they don't have

35:37

resistant defenses , and

35:40

these folks don't either . So

35:47

if we say

35:49

your target

35:51

square is a squad , right

35:54

, they will get the full 66

35:56

, right . But

35:58

because you're in the square with them , they

36:01

will get the auto hit right now , even

36:03

though it's not their turn . Does that make sense ?

36:07

I think so . Sorry , I was trying to

36:09

look up severe and you are correct

36:11

Knockout damage delivered by blast ignores

36:13

defense .

36:16

If there's , if they're hex away

36:19

, then they will take 5d6

36:21

, right , and they they

36:23

can't auto hit because you're not in the

36:25

same square . And

36:32

then what ? I think we could talk

36:34

about it . I think the

36:37

next two squads will be one die less

36:39

.

36:39

But that seems fair . These

36:43

hexes got to be tight and while they're they're tight

36:45

enough , I think they will be moving , and

36:47

that makes a lot of sense to me .

36:49

So I'm just catching them coming in through the window right

36:51

.

36:52

Yeah , you want me to roll

36:54

different , or so ?

36:55

what I'm going to do is I'm going to count from left to right

36:57

. Right , Because your dice are already up there , right

36:59

, and we know if it's one died less

37:01

, we'll just we'll

37:04

be .

37:04

If it's count from left to right , where the rightmost

37:07

one goes away , then it's 20 and six

37:09

right .

37:12

And so you are . You're not

37:14

engaging , you're not engaging

37:16

that first squad in their hex . That's

37:18

not your central hex . Yep , okay

37:21

, it could be . I

37:23

was the choices up to you . That just means , if it is

37:25

, they get to retaliate right now Because

37:29

they auto hit

37:32

. You get to do the 24 , but

37:34

you're going to get hit .

37:36

I don't want to do the 24 to get hit . I'll

37:38

get hit by one squad . Thank you very much .

37:42

And it's just one squad , because again , my assumption

37:45

is the other . Again we're giving Nate the

37:47

benefit of the doubt . Well , experience

37:49

right . He could ease that first squad

37:51

and then move to the other two , and that's getting

37:54

the maximum out of his range of effect

37:56

. Or he could play cautious right , and

38:00

theory effect is a square away . I

38:02

can still touch all three squads and

38:05

not get hit back , but I'm not getting all

38:07

six dice in on that first squad

38:09

.

38:10

That is a fine loss of

38:12

one die I will take it .

38:14

Yeah , I would probably play it that way too

38:16

, because I don't know what's next . Right , is

38:19

this ? All of them ? Is any more coming

38:21

in ? What else is coming ? What's happening

38:23

? There's a lot of these dudes . So

38:26

yeah , it's 20 and six

38:29

. I think we're

38:31

going down a lot of these folks . Let

38:35

me check stats real quick . Oh

38:39

yeah , oh

38:41

yeah . So

38:46

let's say we

38:52

got to spread it around . Oh no

38:54

, because the other ones will get . So yeah , you

38:56

decimate this first squad coming in . Well

38:59

, they've come in and they're trying to set up

39:01

a bullwark so the rest of them can

39:03

come in and you , you beat

39:05

that squad down all . Let's say there were six

39:07

of them there and with

39:11

their night vision they can see you right

39:13

, and they're trying to be

39:16

ready for you . In fact , I think some

39:18

of them have those telescoping sticks

39:21

and they pop those out . They

39:23

have right , they kind of have that familiar

39:25

charge running through them , that

39:28

that guy in the van

39:30

, the Buckman oh

39:32

hey , this guy , they

39:34

didn't before these sticks today

39:37

, dude , they have that little charge in them and

39:39

none of them can kind of touch you , right

39:41

. So

39:44

you decimate that first squad and

39:46

then you're able to roll into the other two

39:49

as they're

39:52

coming in and trying to get organized

39:54

, right . So

39:58

if I count the last

40:00

four right yeah

40:02

, the last four so it's 17

40:07

. What's

40:10

that integrity ? They can't use any

40:13

defense , all

40:18

right , so

40:20

you got two half squads of those left to

40:22

wow , that's crazy man

40:24

. So

40:27

six .

40:28

Somebody really knows this game . Helping out

40:31

and making my character .

40:34

But I'm like man , I may have made him too good

40:36

, no

40:38

nice . And again , these , these chimeries

40:40

, just they have tech , but they're regular folks , right

40:43

? Yeah

40:48

, so I think you have still

40:50

standing about six guys

40:52

out of 15 , right

40:54

.

40:57

All right .

40:59

And no more seem to be coming in through the window .

41:05

Oh good .

41:13

Then that moves us into

41:15

segment

41:17

three , which

41:20

is OB and the

41:22

Chimerie agents .

41:25

Oh man , it's gonna be good . Even

41:28

if it's bad , it's good .

41:29

Yeah , I'm trying to decide . What does OB do

41:32

? Oh

41:38

, light them up , light

41:40

them up . Yeah , I think he runs

41:43

in to do some hand to hand , right

41:45

, and yeah , you can see

41:47

his glow increase

41:49

right , and he's got

41:52

different effects when that happens , from

41:54

some

41:56

some limited invulnerability to physical

41:58

things , right , some increased

42:00

strength , right . And

42:03

I think he tags one

42:06

of the squads that's still standing right

42:08

. He goes in swinging

42:10

. I

42:14

guess I got to roll this , but

42:20

again , because he's hand to hand and

42:22

has to enter the same hex as they , those

42:25

three guys are also popping out

42:27

their telescoping batons

42:30

and they're trying to gauge him to . Here

42:38

we go . That's

42:41

awfully close . Now I gotta do some math . Oh

42:48

no , he's good , he's good . His

42:50

CV is 11 minus

42:52

the six gives him a five up . Yeah

42:56

, you

43:02

can see sparks kind of dance off his orange

43:05

aura , right . Yeah

43:08

, I think it plays and zaps around like

43:10

those . What are those electric

43:12

balls ?

43:13

called . Oh yeah , I know what you're

43:15

talking about . I can't remember what other

43:18

things are called Like yeah .

43:20

Yeah , you , you know what I mean . They kind

43:22

of follow around his aura

43:24

like that , so they they're not sparks that

43:26

, just dance off . They kind of wrap around

43:28

and that kind of thing . But he seems to be on phase

43:31

by it .

43:32

Oh how they're called plasma

43:34

balls plasma balls , yes , so

43:37

I think .

43:37

Yeah , it kind of plays around his aura shield

43:40

like like a plasma ball , nice

43:42

, and

43:44

he drops two of easily

43:47

, drops two of those Camira agents

43:49

, the

43:58

. Yeah

44:02

, and so then the Camira agents go at the bottom

44:04

of this segment . All

44:15

right , they

44:19

move . Actually

44:24

, yeah , they split up . Two

44:27

of them run off deeper

44:30

into the room looking

44:33

for their target . One

44:35

of them just opens up on

44:38

Nate . Can't

44:44

touch this with an auto

44:46

pistol or machine pistol .

44:49

Dang hospital man

44:51

.

44:51

Yep In the hospital . Well

44:56

, I got two options here . Yeah

45:02

, now the machine pistol , that's what it's got to be . Yeah

45:10

, the other two are like I said

45:13

, they're looking for their target

45:15

and they've run deeper into

45:17

the . Well , yeah , certainly past through you and

45:19

OB . So they're further south

45:21

than the two of you are because you guys ran up

45:23

to engage them . They're breaking away

45:25

trying to find CC

45:28

Again

45:33

. They auto hit . You're close enough . Hazard

45:38

. Suck you ready . Yeah

45:41

, I'm ready . I'm sorry .

45:43

No , it's okay . It's

45:46

okay . You're a fan

45:48

of my character .

45:50

I make his life hard , so the story

45:52

is interesting .

45:53

I may wind a little

45:56

bit , but I know in my heart what you mean

45:58

.

45:58

This is going

46:01

to hurt a little bit . This

46:04

is a 66 piercing

46:06

, so

46:12

it looks like it's only 12 knockout

46:14

, which isn't bad , but I think

46:16

piercing means all that actually

46:18

kind of sucks . That's

46:21

a lot of ones One , two , three

46:24

, four body . But

46:26

if

46:28

you've got any resistant defense

46:31

because these are just regular , let's

46:34

say , ap bullets if you got resistant

46:36

defense then you're fine . But if you have no

46:38

resistant defense it's going

46:40

to cut through your regular defense and you're taking the

46:42

body .

46:43

I think I have resistant defense . I have can't

46:45

touch this , which gave me a defense plus 20

46:47

.

46:48

Right , but it's not

46:50

resistant . Yeah , so

46:52

let me make sure that's what piercing does .

46:56

Yeah , it does body damage from blast , ignores

46:58

non-resistant defenses .

47:00

Yeah , so they're there . So

47:02

you will take that one , two

47:05

, three , four body

47:07

. So

47:10

, yes , how much shot ? How much stun ? It

47:14

looks like 12 , but it's

47:17

normal stun and yeah , but

47:21

that makes sense . These are , like I said , these are

47:23

real pistol .

47:23

These are pros .

47:24

Yeah , yeah , yeah

47:28

. Four body right there , boom , we

47:31

don't care , it's a hospital , whatever Right you

47:34

brought this on . That's

47:39

the segment . Segment

47:42

four we're back to Nate .

47:47

I'm not sure how , in this character , keeper , or

47:49

the role thing to do the knockout

47:51

I had the body at a body of 12

47:53

and then

47:56

I'm taking in D

47:58

in endurance damage with that 12

48:00

.

48:01

Oh , so yeah , so that 12

48:03

stun you're not going to take , but

48:06

that would have come off of stunned I say knockout

48:08

. But no , no , sorry , sorry , oh , let

48:11

me erase everything I just said . See

48:13

, this is me tripping over the words again . So

48:15

if you were going to take knockout

48:17

, you got KO on the

48:19

character sheet and yours is 24

48:22

is what it looks like if I'm looking at the same one you're on . It

48:25

would have come off of there , but

48:27

your defense works

48:29

and so it subtracts from

48:31

there .

48:32

We don't do enough that you're okay

48:34

.

48:34

Any knockout .

48:35

Thank you , just

48:40

a body yeah .

48:43

That stunned value is

48:45

anytime you take more knockout than

48:47

that value , then you're stunned .

48:51

Okay , okay , this

48:58

character sheet looks like there are two places for

49:00

endurance One

49:03

under utilities and one down

49:05

at the bottom under

49:10

powers . I think they're independent of each other , just

49:13

FYI under

49:17

powers , I

49:29

might be on the wrong seat .

49:30

then I see Well

49:33

.

49:33

I could be looking at one thing . Let me log over

49:38

quick , okay , oh okay , I was going to screen share , but I can't

49:40

, oh sorry , yeah , I need to go

49:43

.

49:43

We talk about this all the time .

49:47

Okay , I also have 8 XP I need to spend , so

49:50

I am not throwing stones

49:52

at this class house or whatever

49:54

.

49:55

All right , you can share it now .

49:58

It's no biggie , like we can keep

50:00

going . Oh , yeah , yeah

50:02

, yeah and then down here is another

50:04

, so I had the two

50:07

equally each other .

50:08

But yeah .

50:09

I wonder if the thought behind the endurance

50:11

down there is that you're draining in while

50:13

you use your powers .

50:15

Right , that's true . Yeah , I'll

50:18

have to go back and look at what I was thinking about there and

50:20

update that , and your , your seat , will update

50:22

when I do that . Yeah , that's interesting

50:25

. Yeah , I think one one

50:28

might be a stat and the other

50:30

is the like , the counter or the

50:32

countdown . No , because the one

50:34

at the top you can do that , you can subtract

50:36

off of there . I'm looking now to oh

50:43

, okay , I see , I see , I see , I see Underpowers

50:47

. If you put a power in there , right

50:50

, you can track how much endurance it costs

50:52

.

50:53

Oh , so that's just . I didn't fill

50:55

it out .

50:57

Yeah , you can say it costs this much when I

50:59

kind of like a .

51:00

Ooh , that could be very helpful .

51:02

Yeah .

51:03

Whoever made this , it was really thoughtful .

51:08

I just , yeah , I wanted a nice easy play sheet

51:10

. It doesn't have to be 100%

51:13

representative of the character sheet . Just what we're going

51:15

to need to play in this VTT . I

51:17

don't need everything , but I'm going to need some of it . So

51:20

that was my thinking .

51:23

I think honestly , you're the point where you need to make your own

51:25

VTT honestly .

51:29

I'm doing it . I got my UX

51:31

friend we're doing a

51:33

trade . I

51:36

wanted to pay her outright and she's like no

51:38

, your money's no good . It's not that I don't

51:40

want it , but I need your other skills . And

51:42

so we're doing a trade . She's

51:45

working on a turn

51:48

base not tabletop a

51:50

turn base RPG game where

51:54

you play an

51:56

enchanted sword , right , and

52:00

you will go through owners

52:02

and how you go through orders as part

52:05

of the player's decision . Sometimes

52:07

it's not always good , right , but

52:09

you're playing through the

52:12

game as an intelligent sword

52:14

with abilities and things like that , and

52:18

she's doing all the graphic works

52:20

and things like that . She

52:22

wants me to help set up the architecture

52:25

of the gameplay , as she describes

52:27

the gameplay , and we're having some conversation about

52:29

gameplay stuff . It's

52:33

interesting and it's making me have to think

52:35

. Like

52:38

a hard part right now is combat . She was

52:41

going to shy away from that . I'm like

52:43

no , if you're going to go turn base , do

52:45

combat . Well , I hope you figure some stuff

52:47

out . So , but she's coming on board to help

52:49

me with the VTT , and that's fantastic

52:51

because I'm not a UX guy and that that's

52:53

key . That's important for VTT

52:56

. So my working title

52:58

is simple table

53:00

. That's what it's called Nice

53:03

.

53:05

Did you see ? Sorry , we're

53:07

already breaking our own role Did

53:09

you see the Albeir Rodeo 2.0 ?

53:12

I did . It looks beautiful , it looks fantastic .

53:14

It's beautiful . It looks absolutely like . Not what

53:16

I was interested in for Albeir . Oh

53:20

, this is just another VTT . Awesome

53:22

.

53:24

I wish I want

53:26

them to be the simple table , but they've

53:28

got a lot of D&D centric

53:31

stuff and the dice killed

53:33

me . I can't with the dice

53:35

, so I'm

53:37

like , but

53:40

anyway .

53:41

And they're doing away with the first one .

53:43

They're just going to get rid of the one that was

53:45

simple and functional . Yeah , that

53:48

is sad . So

53:51

, yeah , and I will have no marketplace . I want

53:53

the tools to be simple enough for folks to do

53:57

their own thing without having to pay for marketplace

54:01

stuff . Does that make sense ? Yeah , so

54:05

I think we're getting away from what

54:07

we're supposed to be doing with these and catering

54:10

to marketplaces , different

54:12

publishers coming in and doing stuff , and that makes me crazy

54:14

Microtransactions . Yeah

54:16

, I'm like not

54:19

here . They're probably fine in other places doing

54:21

other things . I just want to play the game and

54:23

I want to . I don't want to spend my life setting

54:25

it up for something . We're going to play two or three sessions

54:27

, yes , sir , so

54:31

we're back to Nate .

54:34

Let's do it .

54:35

So yeah , obi is in some fisticuffs

54:38

with one squad that's left this

54:41

third squad split up . So one

54:43

guy is firing the machine gun

54:45

at you . You took some hits . The

54:47

other two went running deeper into the ICU

54:50

unit . One's on the left side , one's

54:52

on the right side and they're looking

54:54

for CC .

54:59

Okay . So I'm

55:03

like I'm going to keep going toe to toe with

55:05

these guys or I can

55:07

make them want to leave , and

55:10

I think the best way to make them the want to leave is

55:12

to get CC

55:14

myself . So

55:17

my plan now is hang

55:21

tight Obi Zip

55:27

out of there ahead of them to try to

55:29

grab

55:31

CC and get

55:33

out of here .

55:34

Get out of here . I like it . I like it

55:36

. I'm going to need

55:38

a perception check for you to find

55:40

CC before they do .

55:43

I think it just hands on them . It

55:46

seems fair . It's only the dice

55:48

would agree with me .

55:49

Yeah , and I'm going to get a little tricksy with this

55:52

one . Okay , I'm going to get a

55:54

little tricksy . Normally perception

55:56

roles are just your perception or

56:00

less , and or a

56:02

GM modifier on top of that . I

56:05

always hate GM's picket modifiers

56:07

. That always feels weird for me . But

56:12

these guys have stats too

56:15

and their stats are like

56:17

yours and I'm like we could

56:19

easily do like

56:21

that formula we got that 11 plus

56:24

your OCV , minus their

56:26

DCV , so we can take

56:28

and plug in your intelligence as

56:30

the OCV right and

56:34

their intelligence as the DCV

56:36

, because they're looking to right Even

56:38

it's he who spots them first right

56:41

and then

56:43

plus the 11 or less right

56:45

. Does that make sense ? Make

56:48

sense ? So they

56:51

, their intelligence stat

56:54

is a nine .

56:57

Okay .

56:59

I think yours is 12 .

57:01

It appears to be 11

57:04

.

57:05

Oh right , so you're plus two on

57:09

the 11 .

57:09

So 11 , 12 , 13 or less . And

57:12

you find them before they do .

57:14

Yes , because that's what

57:16

we're really doing . Who finds them first

57:18

and that feels better . Because , yeah

57:20

, we're using their stat and your stat and

57:22

that's a made up modifier I came up with

57:25

.

57:25

Okay , I'll use

57:28

the decks , because my decks

57:30

is 13 . So I'm just gonna roll underneath

57:32

that on roll , and I got a 10

57:34

.

57:35

Nice , nice , nice , nice , nice . What's

57:37

that look like ?

57:40

I think that what

57:43

it looks like is after

57:45

I got nailed by this

57:47

guy's machine pistol and other

57:49

folks are taken off through . I

57:52

think they hit the hallway right . They're

57:54

in there in a room . They cut through a wall

57:56

to come into the hallway

57:58

and I think I leapfrog one

58:00

of them and land

58:04

just right beside another

58:06

one of them and wind around

58:08

and zip through there and then

58:10

I look and duck in my head into a couple

58:12

of the ICU areas . We see

58:14

a few people , maybe even like a cameo

58:16

with somebody that worked on and

58:19

joke company for real and like

58:21

, but only their family knows that they just got a cameo

58:23

on our show and , damn

58:26

it , At the end the hallway because it's

58:28

always at the end of the hallway is

58:31

where we see CC .

58:34

Right , yeah , and I

58:36

think you know there's I think it's soft

58:38

walls and curtains , right ? So I don't know that there are hard

58:41

doors or anything like that .

58:42

Right , right .

58:48

And we can put you in the room

58:50

with CC . You're fast and

58:55

faster than these guys . So

58:57

even if they see where you're going , you

58:59

still have that distance and that jump on

59:01

top of them . Okay

59:09

, okay , yeah

59:12

, they'll go on five like OB . I

59:14

won't roll it . I think OB finishes

59:17

up the squad he's on . I think you

59:19

can hear Does

59:21

he fire ? No I think that third

59:24

squad is . They have , I think they're

59:26

. They have good

59:28

, I

59:31

think they have a good plan and they're following the plan

59:33

. So even the guy with the machine pistol

59:35

, he ignores OB and he comes running

59:38

toward his other two squad mates and

59:40

they're running toward where you have gone

59:42

. They it'll take them this

59:44

turn . To get there Segment five . To get there

59:46

Segment

59:49

six you get to go . So

59:52

they're coming down the hall right and

59:55

Mr Machine pistol is in that grouping .

1:00:01

I am so tempted to

1:00:03

just turn and try to break bad on these guys

1:00:05

, but this is a hospital and

1:00:07

machine pistol guy has no

1:00:10

cool . So here's

1:00:12

my plan

1:00:14

. You tell me how I need to do

1:00:16

this . My plan is

1:00:19

to run past

1:00:21

the bed because I figure I'm fast

1:00:23

enough to do this . Past the bed

1:00:26

. Fist of fury on

1:00:28

the window . Back

1:00:30

for CC , grab

1:00:32

him up and out the window .

1:00:35

Gotcha , gotcha , gotcha , gotcha . Cc

1:00:39

can't fight .

1:00:43

See , even awake .

1:00:45

No , no , they've got him wired up . He's not awake

1:00:48

, yeah , yeah

1:00:50

. So no , I think Mechanically

1:00:56

you can do it , the colors a little

1:00:59

different , but mechanically you can do it and I think

1:01:01

we see it go down just like that . Right

1:01:03

, you create

1:01:06

a exit out the window , you

1:01:09

run back , you grab CC and

1:01:12

then you book it out the window Just

1:01:15

as these guys are coming into the partition

1:01:17

area . Right

1:01:20

, you're already out the window and

1:01:22

they realize they're too late to do anything

1:01:24

, even to run over and start shooting down

1:01:26

. And I will say I think we

1:01:28

can see the machine pistol man

1:01:31

right , as empty as he is , right

1:01:33

, he's following the playbook and

1:01:35

they want to CC alive and they're not going to

1:01:38

risk shooting at you , right , to

1:01:40

get him right .

1:01:42

Nice .

1:01:43

So I

1:01:46

think , yeah , and we know you can clean and

1:01:48

run , so you can certainly run

1:01:50

down the side of the building , run up the building

1:01:52

, run around the side and back down . You're

1:01:55

easily out of the way . The

1:01:59

outside is still dark

1:02:01

, right , in fact , I think inside

1:02:03

the darkness of the

1:02:05

grid , the power being out , you can see out

1:02:07

in the city where the lights are , where it was

1:02:09

the opposite when you were on the balcony

1:02:11

looking down , looking out , and

1:02:14

I think , as you're running wherever you're going , jason

1:02:18

kind of comes around because that

1:02:20

cool night air is on his face because you're

1:02:22

moving so fast . Hey

1:02:26

, nate , what's up man

1:02:28

?

1:02:33

Hey , Jason , it's been a while

1:02:36

.

1:02:37

I think we leave it right there , right

1:02:39

yes .

1:02:43

Oh , that's too good .

1:02:47

Nice , and

1:02:50

so I think this is Citrus Climax

1:02:52

. That's what this title is .

1:02:55

Hmm , it's all about

1:02:57

him . I

1:03:00

can't believe there really was a joke called

1:03:02

Citrus Climax .

1:03:04

I know I was out there looking . What was I

1:03:06

looking for today ? I was looking for something . I can't

1:03:08

remember what it was . Oh , I was

1:03:10

trying to figure out what kind of I know it's Citrus

1:03:13

Climax . What kind of flavor is

1:03:15

that ? Right , because I'm trying to get

1:03:17

a , what might his

1:03:19

powers be right , and

1:03:22

it's like a 7-up or like a Sprite

1:03:24

. I didn't realize that . Oh , neat

1:03:27

, yeah , I'm like , okay

1:03:29

, all right , all right , I can work with that , all

1:03:31

right . So

1:03:34

, yeah , yeah , cool

1:03:39

, I

1:03:43

should have put those questions in here , but

1:03:46

I did not . But

1:03:49

I'm going to add them in here now because

1:03:52

we can run through them real quick . Open this

1:03:54

up XP

1:03:57

questions .

1:04:00

Love . You got XP . Questions man yes

1:04:02

.

1:04:04

Do we learn something new about

1:04:06

the world ?

1:04:10

Yeah , chimera , tests

1:04:13

on rats like us .

1:04:17

Very true . We get an XP

1:04:19

for that . What

1:04:24

was the other one ? Did we

1:04:28

resolve a conflict

1:04:30

using our powers ?

1:04:34

Oh , for real this time .

1:04:36

So we get an XP for that . I

1:04:42

can't remember what the other ones were . I

1:04:46

knew we had three solid ones

1:04:48

. I was working on a fourth one .

1:04:52

Yeah .

1:04:58

They have . Do we sacrifice

1:05:01

something to realize

1:05:05

our big dream ? I

1:05:09

was thinking did we learn something new about

1:05:11

Nathan ? And I

1:05:13

don't know if that's fair . A

1:05:16

fair question Every

1:05:18

session , right , I

1:05:21

think it works . If we have four or

1:05:23

five questions , it's

1:05:26

fine if we don't always hit that one , so let's add

1:05:28

that , and then I think the goal is to come up with at least four

1:05:30

. We can learn something new about Nathan

1:05:39

.

1:05:39

I think what we learned about Nathan is there's

1:05:41

much as he grouses about red I , he

1:05:43

really believes that in the end , red

1:05:46

eyes a member of the team too .

1:05:48

No , we heard that and I was like wow , I

1:05:50

don't even know what to say , and

1:05:55

I think playing red , I think I think we just

1:05:57

let that die . Right , whatever ? Right

1:05:59

, that's about you , that's not about

1:06:01

me , right ?

1:06:03

I can see him , yeah , reacting

1:06:05

that way .

1:06:06

Yeah , so let's call it three XP

1:06:08

. I will figure out two more questions

1:06:10

. So we have five

1:06:12

to pick from , and maybe sometimes we

1:06:14

hit five , but hopefully

1:06:17

we get at least two or three , and

1:06:20

then I got to spend some

1:06:22

of this .

1:06:23

Xp is burning a hole in my pocket

1:06:25

.

1:06:26

So I will tell you some inside

1:06:28

baseball for champions now , every

1:06:31

time a villain comes back that

1:06:35

you see on screen in the book in play , they

1:06:38

got an XP boost , right . They get an XP

1:06:40

boost every time they show back up , just for show

1:06:42

back up , right . I'm

1:06:45

playing that fast and loose with

1:06:47

three pain because we haven't

1:06:49

really engaged . Engaged with him it's

1:06:53

been , but we're talking up to a big thing

1:06:55

, right , and

1:06:57

I feel like I've re , I've

1:06:59

restarted him , so

1:07:02

you're the same points . right , without

1:07:04

your , without your XP's

1:07:06

, because

1:07:09

my question there is speed

1:07:11

or volume of people

1:07:13

. What wins that fight ? Right , then

1:07:15

I will see you in the week . Wednesday

1:07:18

. Our next episode will go out . I'm off , I

1:07:21

got off a week , I got . I was a little sick last week

1:07:23
