A
Zom he like
She my name is theory. What's up? My name's sky
Welcome to the patchwork my dudes is big money involved money that we need
I pocket the credits and start heading the way we came more research regarding the crystal
Oh, that's a foregone conclusion, I'm sorry
I
Cannot be here
It's alright is going to be after us
Eric I think from from start you kind of hoodwinked no offense. You know what I do take offense
Do you think running an operation like this runs on bits and bytes?
No bad stuff happens to good people all the time
Stupid stuff happens to smart people all the time. Just have a salad and then we'll figure things out from there
What salad time it is fully salad time?
We have a spaceport helium it's a comedy club and I I I send the money out
you see
four people wearing
this
heavy green armor these people are head I
Things have been moved so of yours and so as skies and you notice there's a lot of things missing and one of the things
No crystal
Hey everyone before we continue with our regularly scheduled atomless episode
I'm just here to warn you all that at the very end of this episode there is a depiction of a group of military soldiers being
Outwardly aggressive to the party and is of course is something that a lot of people don't want to hear
so when this scene comes up, I will play this sound and
That will be a signal to
close down the episode if you don't want to listen to that and
At the beginning of next episode there'll be a previously on which will catch you up and you don't have to
experience the scene
As is if this is a thing that you just don't want to experience
I totally get it
You can skip the whole episode if you'd like or you could just
Listen up to that point since it since it is the very very last scene
so as soon as you hear the ding you can just close the episode down and
Come back for the next one. Thank you so much for being here. I hope you enjoy the show
The Aesir Sun burns
Proud of its place in the galaxy warming the soil that holds people on their little planets and
The water that sustains life that thrives in the galaxy in
This galaxy gusts of air connect smells sights feelings to all things
People going about their day to day feel I like to breeze and remember loved ones
But then there's also strong powerful winds that tell stories of seafarers and Giants
This is what we know as photo the four humors gathering together
These four things that make life in the galaxy possible
It's been
Debated what photo means what it is if when the cultivator travels to all planets
Did they do it to spread the words of hope respect love was it because they wanted to tell the world of an?
Ethereal being that created the atomless or if they just wanted people to respect the natural order
Was it for love or a sense of duty?
They talked about sativum a perfect place holy place a safe place
The galaxy asks these questions, but has the message been lost to time
Was there ever a message at all?
The Aesir sun burns proudly its light flies through the bright colors of the atomless sea
Weaving its way through purples red screens all the way to a small asteroid field a broken forgotten planet
Shattered so long ago that the remnants aren't even a name anymore
Just forgotten dust in the sky
Through this asteroid field though laughter still exists
Laughter still exists
Visited by unknown travelers making this rock feel like part of a planet again and on this rock
Sits a ship a very important ship
A ship that is a tapestry of a thousand different lives fused together to tell a new story
The light shines through a skylight of this ship
And illuminates a shadowed figure who stands and watches the sun
And they think about the soil as their mouth asks for a sip of water and their lungs breathe in the air
An asteroid slips into the sun's path blocking it from view
And the shadowy figure continues to pile the patchwork's belongings into a bag
As they do so something catches their eye in the darkness
A light shining from inside a pile of clothes
They push them aside and they see a large crystal
Crystal shimmering rainbow of colors in the darkness
They pick it up
Toss it haphazardly into the bag
As they hear a voice of the refueling droid alerting them of someone's presence
And they sneak out the window
You
All have just arrived back onto the patchwork
I believe ike and azam both noticed the
That a lot of your belongings have been
stolen and taken
Uh
Scrap is still inside the comedy club. Um
Sat and just listening to random comedians talk
Uh, but you are all
Together collected in this space as
You notice that your things are gone what is it you do I when I walk in and I notice that some of my stuff is missing
The crystal was in like the kitchen area where where theory acts like lab
Stuff is set up, right?
Yes, we know the crystal is gone, right? Because that was like you're very aware that the crystal is gone
It is not in the place that it was may I sprint to the top of the patchwork because i've gone up there
Many a time because that's my little thinking spot. It's a little easier when there's zero gravity
But can I get up there and see if I can see the crystal?
But can I get up there and see if I can?
See anybody running away a little sus. Absolutely. Give me a perception check you
Got it
24 I got a good rule. Holy shit. That's no bullshit
This docking port is like filled with ships
Every single one of them is using this as like a refueling station and there's no
No, there's not much that sticks out as suspicious you see this like deep
red imposing large battleship that
Towers almost two three times the size of the patchwork
Its maiden head is these is this huge axe that looks like it's almost embedded into the front of this ship
You know that that is the heath ship of the group of heaths which are inside of the inside of helium at the minute
You also notice out of all of these the one ship
that is like a little weird
that's not doesn't just look like a normal a normal cruiser is
a
golden honeyed
yellow ship
it's
maiden head which you can see from this angle has been torn off and
replaced
with
What looks from this distance?
To just be a bunch of just little trinkets a bunch of little weird things
There is some shadowed activity over there, but it might just be people but you do clock that the maiden head of the
golden honeyed ship is
Just a little a little just just just slightly odd
All right, i'ma do something dumb and illegal
But no one's leaving this comedy club. I want to go
to
the ships and i'm an engineer
self-taught
I know of something I could do to essentially slash the tires of these
Crafts, right?
Whoa, no, it's leaving our crystals gone
I believe they call it cracking the thrusters. Yeah. Yeah, that's exactly what it's called
You can absolutely crank the thrusters of each of the of these ships if you want to try and do this
No one steals from the patchwork
All right, so we're having a bottle episode
We're having a bottle episode
We're already out of budget i'm sorry
Yeah, so it's gang nine episodes in we've run out of budget
We're on location
And like I don't I don't need to like shut
I don't need to shut down the spacecraft. I just need to do something
Quick and clean that's gonna delay because I don't want a ship flying away from here with our with our shit
You know
Yeah, so like I just want to walk by and be like
And like just quick punch to the tire, but I know we can't do that because we're in space
I tell you what you could I tell you what you can do
So each of these ships are held here because this asteroid doesn't have any gravity
So they're all held by like this really strong magnetic strip
That connects the landing pads of each of the ships with the the ground itself
There are
I'm going to give you two two options two things that you could do which will ground the ships you can
Increase the magnetic field
Meaning that it will be way harder to take off without everyone knowing that these people are taking off
or
you can
individually try and
Sabotage each ship now if you individually sabotage each ship is going to be way harder to do and you might also do some damage
but they will absolutely not leave without your say so or you could increase the magnetic field by going to
one of the
Robot ports that they come out of the ground and go to refuel the ship and go to clean things up and and whatnot
You can hack into that and increase the magnetic field generally which will just people can still leave
But it'll be way harder and everyone will know they're trying to leave. Yeah. No, I'll do that
That one. Yeah, give me an engineering check or a computers. You can decide which one you want to do
Uh engineering that's plus 10. I got a
28
I am suddenly unstoppable. This feels pretty good. Y'all's roles now are gonna be absolutely brutal
I have sucked from like the beginning like i've gotten like eight sixes
Sevens like since this campaign started i'm glad that as soon as someone steals from me
Yeah
Fucked with the wrong crew as you like you step outside walk out go to the the like machine port as you're hacking in
and increasing the magnetic field you get a read of
recent logs and you notice that this
Bot that is right next to your ship has been tampered with it was it was very recently hacked into
All right. I wonder what the rest of the gang is up to
Inside the ship igus screaming. Yeah
I could just
Did you see anything?
happen
Uh, where do you look for?
The theory i'm well i'm assuming. Okay, are they in this like?
This kitchen lab. They're not in that area. Okay
I
I will still look for them. Uh, they were the last person that had it so
Maybe it's not gone
I will look in
like all of the main
little areas of the ship you will find well
When you when you're in the kitchen, you notice there's like a lot of like loose textbooks around
That they don't seem like thrown around someone has like looted the place
They're like just very like just scattered around
Like sort of intentionally but in a very haphazard sort of way you do eventually find theory act in in the storage
area with like
a bunch of shit on the ground and like
little puddles and there's like smoke in the room
and there's like lots and lots of like
blueprints and uh very rough
Drawings and like it looks like pepe silvia in here basically
Um
Goodness, are you are you okay?
Dr. Theory act are you okay? Did they?
Hurt you or attack you or anything or are you well?
Ike what do you what do you talk? What do you want about?
someone
Took things from the ship were you here? Was it?
Did you hear anything?
when
Well, we were inside. I don't know we came back in and our things are missing and uh,
You didn't happen to move
Spot the crystal
It's also gone
um the crystal
theory act like has a match in their hand and like it fully just like
Like gets to the end of the stick and uh
All right, um
Where where was it last?
Okay, it was by all your lab equipment in the kitchen area and um, that's
Oh, that's the last time I saw it sky
Ran out
I I don't know what well rush back out to the uh
Kitchen lab area his arms already there
His arms already there. Yeah following
Is it not is it not here?
No, it's not hold on. Can I uh do a roll to see if
Our perpetrators left anything behind to clue us into their location. I go on i'll allow a perception a tactics or a survival
Okay, these will each of these will give you different answers a perception is a very general look around
Um, which to have like a more specified look will probably have a higher dc
tactician will at
Most probably be able to tell you like how they got in and how they left
And maybe how they pulled this off and a survival
Might be more of like a
Looking at the state of the room
How does it
like
To try to piece together kind of more information
I think azam's first instinct would immediately because I suck at survival for some reason, uh would immediately
Like immediately go to profession to tactics to see how they broke in and what else they might have taken. Absolutely
So that's a 17
Very nice. You can see
There is kind of what looks like an sliding office window almost
Attached in a way that it can survive like it has so many layers of glass deep in it
It can survive in like the depth of space and space travel. It also seems like it should be
Just fused shut and probably was for a little bit, but it has been like wedged and jammed open and someone has
slipped in
you notice around the
Piles of mess that there are these like very light tire tracks
That lead in from the ramp and then lead back out again
Mm-hmm, and then these footprints that come from the window are
Exceedingly small
Like palm sized
Teeny tiny
I look at theriac and then I look back to the footprints as surreptitiously as possible
Uh very different paws. These are like little paws. See this is the reason why I looked at theriac
There you go. I have roots. Thank you
I didn't say that out loud. I have I have tiny booties. I'll thank you
I was on looks at his own gigantic feet. I'm simply a little guy
Don't make me fall in love with theriac anymore you're going evil
I don't I don't want to be the like oh we should put that on merch tabletop player
But I would kill for a shit that says i'm just a little guy
With like a silhouette of theriac in the background in their lab coat. Oh god. Okay
Can I also do that perception check? Yes, you can I will say because it's like multiple actions
The dc is going to start getting a little higher. That's okay. That's not okay. That's a 10
It doesn't seem like
They were hunting for anything in particular
Because there's a lot of like little things that have been stolen
So at least two assailants criminals, whatever you want to call them, uh, one through the window
Which we should probably close one for the ramp
Took a bunch of probably anything you found shiny
Probably yes
Okay, I guess the crystal's shiny, but I I can't um
um lose it so
uh
I I dr. Uh theriac you said um that maybe
Inside of it and I know that you don't know
Entirely but like you did say that inside of it. There was something
possibly
signs of a life
right
Possibly it could be an amalgamation of the four
Or states of matter it could be some sort of natural computer
I did manage to extract a series a set of numbers from it before
It it could be a myriad of things including a sentient being
All right. Well, i'm gonna take a chance then if that's all right with everybody. I just
Covers her big rat ears and concentrates really hard and she's gonna take a chance on sending a telepathic message
Uh to the crystal in the event that it is biological
And I can hear simple telepathic replies
It is up to a hundred and thirty feet
So i'm going to hope many things including that it is biological and that they are not
Over a hundred and thirty feet away by now. I only have ten words. Okay, um
Tell me
Where you are so I can come and get you
It takes
A beat
And you feel a very light pull against your mind and
And it just cuts off it just cuts like that it just cuts um does the pull
feel
I run I start running I start running, uh as fast as I can
Uh, in the hopes that um, i'm just I just went out of cell range and I just have to get in
To hear the last bit of the message. Okay
roll me a
a reflex save
This is just to determine how quickly you're sprinting out. Yeah, can I go in pursuit?
Because I don't want to like to run away alone. You can you don't know what direction
I'm just gonna chase after ike also i'm gonna grab like
Any weapon I can find off of any table as i'm running out just in case would this be a good time to cut back to me?
Yeah, it's a five. Go ahead
Okay
I just want to be in the middle of some shenanigans for you guys to walk walk in on yeah
So i'd like to notice that
The droid has been tampered with and then i'm gonna take my skateboard off my back
And i'm going to hold it in front of me
And i'm going to say me and you have been through a lot
skateboard
But now knowing I can talk to technology like a person
I feel like I have to
you know
Establish you as a character just in case I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate you
for all of the
Skateboard breaking defying acts that I put you through
Um, I love you
Okay, and then i'm gonna put skateboard on the ground and if they're like an oil can or something
nearby
There's one inside of the patchwork
Definitely, I just want like something to put on skateboard so that it looks like just one of the droids doing a job at the gas station
Okay, okay sure just want something anything a bucket. I'm not gonna slow it down. Yeah. No you yeah
There's like a oil thing to oil up like landing gear and stuff so it doesn't squeak
Okay, i'm gonna take the like oil can i'm gonna put it on skateboard and i'm gonna push it and tell it to
sneak sneak around and find that droid that
Is like by the patchwork because my drone is sneaky and I think we established that I have like some sort of connection to it
I don't know if there's like a camera on it
Yes, you have like a chip in in your head that connects to the to the droid
Okay, so like we can pass information back and forth. Yes, you can pass you can pass very basic information
Okay, okay. Okay. I just want them to go find the droid and then i'm gonna walk over to that
Ship you said was sus there was a there was a hef's ship and a sus ship, right?
Is what I can remember and there's a bunch of people at this sus ship. There is there there was like shadowed figures
All right, i'm gonna go over those shadowed figures my dudes
Uh, um, would you like for as sky is walking off?
I gonna zhom come barreling into them or would you like to just sky just goes off on their own?
Ideally narratively what I was hoping for is for this, you know youth to walk over to these shadowed figures and be like
Huh, dudes rough set them. Am I right?
Like then they can come out
Sky you you are able to walk off toward these uh shadowed figures you see
two
figures
a
large
middle-aged looking velka, which is a wolf person this large wolf man
Wearing what seems to be a like a trench coat
but as they talk they have like sweat pants and like a white t-shirt on and just the this this trench coat on him and
they're talking to a
19 kind of your age
tostled hair goggles on this like light leather jacket and
These like
slightly
Bulky like brown boots. They're just open. They just seem to be openly talking about something on the ship
On this this honey color ship with the maiden head being this a bunch of just miniature trinkets as you walk up
You see that they are like keychains and some of them are like phones that have been like
fused into it
There is um
Gears and watches and like it seems like a magpie like a magpie storage
Cool. I said rough set. Am I right?
The the young kid tends to you. Oh, uh
What oh are you not in the comedy club, sorry I just came out to get some air oh, uh
No, sorry, no, we weren't we went there it's dead in there. Yes. I imagine that it would be
It's this large wolf man speaks. We haven't we haven't been in do you recommend it? Oh, I'm assuming not dad
No, but anyway, I just came over here to ask. Um, we got some stuff stolen from our ship
So you guys haven't seen anyone peculiar walking around have you?
Oh
God, uh
No, we haven't um, how long ago did that happen? Oh not not very long ago
But yeah, if you could just uh, let me know because oh i'd hate to be that guy, you know
Oh beans. Yeah, that's not that good
That's bad news bears. I tell you what I saw someone earlier by the back of helium
Really? Oh in the opposite direction far from your ship
You want me to turn?
You want me to turn? Okay. Yeah. Hey listen if you want company i'm willing to come with you
Uh, maybe not company but like just to clear your name. Would you mind if I took a little look?
You took a little where in your ship?
Well, you got nothing to hide. What are you smugglers? They both do a little laugh and then look at each other
No, yeah, sorry. I'm not just gonna let a random girl just come into the ship
Yeah, i'm not random. My name's sky. Nice to meet you
Also, like there's two of you one of me. I just want to make sure that none of our shit's on your ship
And then i'll skedaddle, you know, well, I mean I guess that's fair. I'm flair. This is keelin. Hello
Yeah, I mean I guess you could have a look around if that
Appeases you at all. Yeah, of course course you can come in. Yeah, whatever. Yeah. Do you want a drink?
Oh, definitely not. I just want to make sure you don't have our stuff on your ship
And then i'll be on my merry little way. I tell you what
You can just go in I I won't even look at you
I believe that you are not this thief that you're talking about because honestly the best place a thief would hide is
By going up to other people and saying there's a thief around right?
Sure
I wouldn't I wouldn't know anything about that. No, uh, no knowledge about stealing up in this little noggin
Oh, no, not at all. You seem like an absolute just a
Super stand-up citizen. Yeah. No, I trust you. Thanks. I try real hard the ramps open you can go in. Thank you
I do that and I can't possibly end badly for me
I guess um you
Run outside of the ship as soon as you do I in such like a hurry your foot gets caught under your other foot and you
tumble onto the ground and
Even when you start going in the right direction, it's it's gone
Okay
so
I totally trip and fall and and hurt my little noggin and all of that but also
I did also realize that once I make this connection, I think I have it for 30 minutes. So can I try?
to run around and like do the
Magical equivalent of trying to find service where I just like run around and just be like hello
Hello, how many bars do you have?
Hoping that a zam has any sense of like self-preservation on on
covered for both of us because ike is
Singularly focused on this very one task
You can say a 10 word message and then for an amount of time as long as something is within within 130 feet
I have 30 minutes because it's 10 minutes per level. We're level three. So I have 30 minutes
Okay, where this connection is in place. I can get brief messages. Give me another reflex. Okay. Okay. This is this is purely how fast?
Yeah, yeah sprinting around to 22 as you are running around you go
slightly closer towards helium and you hear a
I am falling I am falling
And then it does but it but it does like click in and then click back out again as you go slightly closer toward
Okay, I run straight into helium as I imagine you follow
I'm gonna just take a quick glance because for a little while ike's just running around
Holding her magic phone up. Just running in circles in the car park
One I kind of want to figure out what weapon i'm holding so i'm gonna roll a d4
And if it's a good weapon the best weapon I can use it'll be a four
And if it's a one I just picked up a piece of trash
Oh good. It's a three. It's a pistol. Can I do a perception check to see if there's anything shady going on here? Yes
Yes. Yeah, give me a perception. I think my days of badly rolling have come to a swift conclusion
Because that's in that 20 to make a 28. Very nice. That's exceedingly good. Yes. Very good. Well done
This isn't the safest establishment
It
Is a comedy club, but even because of that that means that there is a lot of drunk people
Um a lot of people who are like tired and a lot of people using this space to
To get one up on
On people who are drunk and people who are tired you
spot
Toward what you can only assume is like the staff bins. You see like a tiny little guy
Six arms
Covered in purple fur. It's like big mouth and these huge beady eyes and they have a little sack
On their back you hear because of that 20
And then you see another one runs out say some words to one another
And they skitter off i'm going to give chase out shoot it in the head, sorry
Would you
Permit me to roll a culture
Yes, you can have advantage on it because of the nat 20 on the roll
Advantage because otherwise that would have been a nat one, uh 19
I mean total, um
You haven't been off your planet
almost ever
you haven't
You you haven't been really anywhere where there's like a whole a huge like a huge group of different races and people
but you
Have seen some of these little things before these little things
natural
travelers a little
Sh-mystervous little guys. They are called a skitter manda. They're these little furry six-armed two-legged
Little guys with these big mouth these big old beady eyes with little paws cute little paws cute tiny little paws
I'm gonna give and chase
Give and chase after giving chase cute little purple friends. I like how we've now split up the entire group
Everyone is everyone is a little separate speaking of
Yeah, wait, i'm sorry
yo
fully the oriac is like
Dumbfounded like does not know what the fuck happened how long they've been here completely lost track of time everyone like
immediately splits
Enthiriac looks around and
Okay
No group plan
Okay
um
Looks between like the kitchen
and the storage room between the lab and the sort of like ritual area and it's like
And we'll pull towards the storage area as uh, they try and
use
their
Experience with religion to try and contact this thing to see if this is somehow related to photo and I would like to use
Mysticism, okay, so they're trying to gather if this situation is related to photo at all. Yes. Yes
Yeah, okay. Wow, that's very good. That's a 24
I need to start thinking of higher dcs for sure. I'm
Having these plus 10s plus 15s ridiculous
You quite quickly
get
Go under the assumption that this specific situation doesn't
On its surface have anything to do with photo
But everything can relate back to it in some way
The four humors connects all things
You do remember a text
in the almanac a drawing
of the cultivator
And a crystal this situation is has absolutely nothing to do with the photo religion
Being robbed that is however, there are parts in play
That may
Okay, that's great that I I just we've we came across a religious artifact that's cool, um
Um, okay, I don't care how good your rolls are theory act is going full religious zealot cool
Everything is related. Everything's connected
beautiful mind type shit theory act is then
Going to
Look outside
Is anyone in sight?
How are you going outside? Are you climbing on top of the ship next to the skylights on top of the ship on top?
Of the ship and we'll lock the doors
Yeah
No one else can go in
You pull up the ramp close the window climb up the ladder. You do see each
Each of the members of the party I three of them
You see Ike running toward helium you see azam running off and you see sky
Getting aboard
Another ship. Oh my god
God theory x2. This is horrendous
I feel kind of bad. This is horrendous. We really set you up. It's really chaotic
That's the that's this game though. That's the cornerstone of this game
Cohesion in does in our quest
Do they see do they see what azam is chasing or just as i'm running?
Just as i'm running
The old man is running off into the running and a reason walking inside and my board. Yeah slowly rolling away with an oil
Oh, yeah, you also see you also see a skateboard forgotten dripping oil
Oil slowly passing it sky put some stuff on there to make it look like it's supposed to be there
And apparently that means it's like the chef boyardee commercial
It's rolling away. Yeah
there is like a family that come out of a small eatery that is connected to helium and
Go to step and then they realize there's a slow skateboard moving past and like oh shit and then they move around
Yeah, this is so normal
Yeah, oh god. Okay
Azam is chasing something clearly
Sky is going into another ship
But i guess just going back into helium
Yeah, I guess is full sprinting going back into helium. Yeah
Oh god, can I mention something? We all have coms
So if anyone wants to call someone guys want to go to a group discord call and be like, what are you doing?
What the hell's going on? Explain yourself
I'm a very independent miner
Oh, no, it's fully just a lost miner. Oh god
Now I feel responsibility
It's work sky's like there's a big golden ship and sky's just walking in it. The miner's just oh my god
You can see someone who looks about sky's age who is
Leaning against the ship leaning against the ship like some sort of hooligan on the tracks
Yeah, we're not helping at all theory actus needs to yes guys theory acts running towards sky
Did oh, okay. Did the did the teenager around sky's age just like promote theory act to shotgun parent like
I think so
So this this this teenager around sky's age one this is like a wolf person is that what you said there is a human
teenager and a
Middle-aged wolf man. Yeah, okay. No, and it's the teenager that's lounging
Yeah, is the teenager lounging in a way that's like
Hot or cute
I feel like this is entirely
It's entirely unthreatening. Yeah, if that's the if that's the vibe
Yeah, but is it like they see, you know how teen kids are like, oh i'm so cool. I'll give this
I'll i'll give this to the party, but whether or not
Anyone can see this
they are
Trying to seem cool
Okay, oh that's a terrible sign theory act runs after sky
Okay, yes sky you are walking up the ramp to get inside of pocketful of grenades pocketful of grenades
You're you're walking inside of this ship. Can you make me a perception check?
19 you saw the person who was named keelin
the wolf person outside and you also saw flair who is
This teenager. This is a sizable ship
it's
Just slightly bigger than the patchwork with the amount of things in here
there is like
seven beds
Little rolls things that have been rolled up and and
Hapdashly like thrown about there is food that definitely is for more than two people. Yeah
Is there more than two beds is what I was gonna ask
Yeah, there's more than two beds. There's like seven with a 19
You can see that although this place is is like it's kind of hapdashly like there's there's kind of like a lot of things
everywhere it still kind of has a purpose and a
Almost this is as neat as you can have with these amount of beds
But with the 19 you can tell that
There are some things like poking out from under
little blankets and pillows
And a drawer which isn't quite shut. I'm snooping what's in there?
See in that drawer. Let me see under those blankets
Let me look over my shoulder real quick and then continue to do so as you open the first drawer
There is this like a slide of three four five different new phones on top of stacks of
Older holo units and and like things that people used to call one another underneath the blankets is
These just small little trinkets just things that don't really seem like they have much purpose
These blankets are like a mix of some which are just laid out on the floor
And also there are like hammocks that are that are that are hung up
This ship is slightly bigger than the patchwork
But the patchwork is a huge squeeze with five of you and this seemingly has seven haven't found snooping
Oh, yeah, always. Where's the rest of your crew you guys phone salesman or something?
question a
No, we used to have more people and it's just us now
and for the phones I I like
It's a long story. I like dinkering with things little I don't know mechanics and stuff makes sense to me
I can kind of like sense things from it's it's weird. I don't want to
I don't want to believe it. I got somebody on my ship that can talk to machines. So do you actually?
I'm getting the sense. I shouldn't have said that so
Uh, why oh my god. No, because like yeah, I can do the same. I can kind of like talk
To them the the the thing like it's just you have someone like this on your ship
Is it you can you do these things? No, dude
Dude, this went way better than I was expecting it to yeah, you want to meet him?
I mean, we're kind of busy right now with what with the whole thievery thing, but
Oh, yeah. No. No, of course. No, totally. I I would love to though. That would be great
Yeah, sit kelly's is gonna be just like messing with the ship for a while. I I have like 15 minutes
Uh, you know, we don't because a thievery but tell you what you got like a pen or something
I tell you what I can add
Yeah, I have a number. Yeah, I wasn't asking for your number. I was asking for a pen, but I love your confidence my dude
Dude, thank you. I write my own number on his arm. I give him a wink and I uh head out
I don't try to look cool, but I do
Hell yeah
The envy of every team I've ever lived
As you as you step out you see thievery
Sky
What are you doing walking right into a trap but it turned out to not be a trap
It was actually very pleasant. We should probably go chase after one of the other two. Oh
Who were you talking to who was that teenager? I don't know
What oh, hey, you're like right next to the ship and you see this like large wolf person. Oh, um
Your friends I imagine yeah, sorry about your ship. Uh, what's your name? Sorry my I'm
I'm uh
I don't have time. Have you seen a crystal? Have you seen a crystal like ever? No, it's it's
It's got like every element or it's every state of matter. It's kind of glowy
Speaking a lot of words. No, I haven't seen any crystal. I can tell that you're upset
Do you want to have a drink? No, I have to find it and we'll just immediately just like all right you turn and just
Keep running
Okay. Well, uh, I gotta go. Thank you so much for letting me onto your ship. I'm so glad you guys aren't thieves
Y'all seem dope. Thank you. I appreciate that. I'll definitely put it on our yelp review
All right
I'm gonna run after theory act and I guess whoever theory act is running after as soon as you start running theory x hears you running and then
U-turns back. Do you are you out of your mind? I understand that
uh
organic animal
mammalian animal animals go through adolescence, but are you
Are you out of your mind? What what is going on? No, dude
I'm just from the lower decks when you get shit stolen from you you get shit done
Immediately y'all were lollygagging dude. You did what?
I searched one ship and my drone's already following a bot that's been messed with none of these ships are leaving this place
You gotta act fast theory act and you're like not keeping your cool right now, dude
Oh my god pick a person. Let's go
Will
gun
towards uh
Azam you gun toward azam. Hi
Yeah, where are we going hun going inside?
My indication was that it was I was hearing it closer to the club. So i'm gonna follow that
Uh, i'm gonna follow that instinct you bust in swing the door open
Listen a lot of like murmuring that kind of dims a little as people slowly turn to you
I laugh
Oh my god
We are a mess today
Oh
I didn't realize that was that funny and then there's another laugh. Good good good back to normal. Okay, and
No, no, keep going. Um, give me a wisdom. Okay. Okay, okay
yeah, that's gonna be a
17 you get a twinge that it's it's like it has moved since
you have you like ran into here okay I and and that it's not inside anymore
walk inside and then I laugh leave okay great and I I book it back out again and
follow just follow keep following the thread as much as I can as you leave and
turn you see as arm full booking it toward these two little guys who are
like whispering something to each other you see sky and theory act sprint down
towards his arm but then you get a small twinge another one and you see another
little guy run out of the shadows behind everyone else
so big old I go I go I go I go I go I go I go so fast
still run toward him as um what are we doing as we're sprinting toward these
guys these little pals I'm gonna try and sprint after them but somewhat quietly
okay you can give me a stealth of disadvantage to if you're full sprinting
this will like keep pace and you'll be able to run with this advantage that's a
16 you like go into like a little tiny jog like trying to how big a Zom is it's
probably just a like you know a fast walk like your grandmother's a fast walk
yeah it's a power walk you just power walk toward these little guys in front
of you I just like one of them who is like a lagging behind a little carrying
this big crystal who as they are running you spot them and they stop in their
tracks I look at the others I look at the little guy holding the crystal and I
give a clear indication with just a nod on my head I got these you've got those
you got that guy with the crystal everyone seems to like converge at the
same time to the same spot with these two little guys this one with the
crystal and then as arm this little guy with the crystal is stood like a deer
in headlights wrapped their six arms around the crystal yeah how far away is
he from us he's like 40 foot 40 but they stopped as as arm clocked them to be
fair if you saw gigantic a freight staring at you probably stop walking to
yeah pretty spooked do you think it's like a no sudden movement kind of
situation the react will load the truth their little injector there's no need for
violence on just give it back to us calm down everyone you listen hey me first
then you you stole from my ship return what you stolen no one needs to get
hurt can I roll diplomacy for this yes first
roll me an intelligence I'm not that intelligent well I'm in the eye roll
intelligence that's in that 20 again actually oh shit look at that shit that's
21 you got a friend you get the impression that this thing doesn't
speak common trade I think it's trade in this system trade yeah whatever yeah
galactic normal galactic universal language galactic universal man is the
GUL the GUL this little thing doesn't speak GUL jewel ghoul vape it can I
switch into GSL galactic sign language and see if that works yes yes sure takes
like one step back I take one big step in his direction and I shake my head in
the universal symbol for no everybody roll me a reflex okay
oh god oh god oh god should I roll the diplomacy check to see what happens yeah
you can roll that fucking actually yeah roll the fucking rule is 24 nice yes guy
we love 17 for me I got six okay okay love I'm so sorry give me that diplomacy
first 15 it and then holds it up then can you roll me a reflex 16 it seems to
hold it up toward you slightly and you hear a noise behind you a of wheels I
shoot the drone you turn around point your gun and you see that it is in fact
not a drone but this guy theory like you recognize this teenage whose large boots
have collapsed into roller skates and they are pounding towards you as you
pull out the gun they jump and throw this like tiny like flashbang everyone
who didn't get over a 15 which is literally everyone as thing aside from
theory act gets nauseated as they make a leap over you this little skitter
Amanda throws the crystal up and they grab the crystal and if everyone would
like to roll initiative as we're in a little bit of a calm little pong I knew
it was yourself in sir character you will and will this rollerblader become
skies arch nemesis or boyfriend and did we get 20 or above so I got I got a
natural 20 and I got it but it's only for a total of 22 I got a grand total of
20 not natural but I I am wondering if you're gonna if you'd let me shoot
first anyway because I did call it the moment I heard those wheels that's true
you did yes yes I'll allow you to get a surprise round off I got a 16 hell yeah
gamer sky what you get 14 okay so I could get a surprise round because you
rolled natural 20 as I'm against prize round because you call shot what you
were going to do before initiative was it okay so I could you want to do I I
want to just shout at this kid and just kind of reach up and grab at his scapes
as he like kind of like is going up over our heads and I would like to cast
incompetence make him a bad oh you're gonna make you're gonna you're gonna
ruin all of my plans so quickly okay yeah sure you can do that you I bloody
demon I what am I rolling spell save of DC of 15 okay where's my spell save it
better be high it is not that's yeah it's not that's okay I have a plus one
to this shit I just get down here right now as he jumped over you the wheels on
his skates fold inward there's this energy that pulses from them that you
can tell is like a they can use to like fly and like hover on the on the roller
blades and they immediately jump over like a cool kid eat shit immediately on
the ground just completely flubbed the trick they have a H out of horse now I'm
sorry about that but that's ours and I look at that little guys and I say don't
you go anywhere I point I point authoritatively that's it that's my arm
it's you beautiful did the kid reach the crystal no the kid is in the same is in
the same spot they are now do I have enough movement to just walk up and grab
the crystal from the little guy like if you walk through like within five foot
you're gonna take it at opportunity attack but you can definitely try yeah
absolutely I mean you could also be able just to move around the fucking flyer who
is wiped out on the ground if I if I do take the opportunity attack and I do get
hit does that mean I stop moving or can't keep moving no it doesn't know
his arm is injured but a zone doesn't care so I'm gonna walk up to my movement
speed and try and grab that crystal flair like as you walk past swipes at
your ankle as you pass by and they are gonna roll with disadvantage since they
are just down on the ground that's a 19 to hit with disadvantage with
disadvantage yes they like thrust their arm and as they do there's like a hidden
blade that comes out and they grab the handle of it and swipe at your and your
ankle for five damage five slashing damage I'll take it but then you run
along this little skitter bander has a hold of the crystal still you can try to
take it from the skitter man to the skitter man to seems like it's is going
to bounce is gonna run away it's gripped quite tightly I'm going to literally rip
it the thing from its hands as best as possible okay I'm gonna count this as a
grapple so it would be a strength or desk decks that's contested this is not
gonna work 18 yeah no yeah that makes it easy you easy clear it this little
skitter man is like as you like pull it up off the ground as it's like six arms
are still like trying to grab onto it and you like kind of shake it and it
pops down on the ground is there anything else you'd like to do in your
turn I'm gonna yell sky skateboard skateboard can't come to the phone right
now I love her so much I get you it's now normal action I see as um has it in
his hands as I'm do you look steady yeah yeah I'm like good pop it underneath
one arm tightly like a football so everyone should be able to move the
crystal as well so whenever you have possession of it you can move it with
your character I go to help the kid that I knocked off his roller skates up and I
think sorry you were robbed tonight and it kind of looked like you were going to
rob the people that robbed us they like hit their heel against the ground
confused at the fact that they can't they can't quite remember how to
roller skate and they do like a little sorry oh Jesus you should sorry I'm
sorry I'm just you're good you're good at it damn you're good at it again oh
thank you no yeah sorry Bonzo was just gonna give it to me but I do appreciate
it is that the end of your turn get his ass I just would like to re cast the
same spell and just and just like so they're like standing back up and then
just like if it costs a spell I'll allow you to just keep I appreciate that it
does the slot I would like to keep it just be like you just keep it so you
don't actually you you like flavored uncast and then recast it yeah yeah you
recast it and they what oh shit damn it okay I feel like I I feel like I may
have misjudged you and I do apologize in that maybe next time I'll think my
options more clearly in terms of whoever up is that okay
give us our things back and we'll consider it oh yeah sure no that's no
problem they turn to you and they're just gonna try and like rugby just like
pull the the crystal out from your arm with a did they get more than 20 to their
initiative whose turn is it when do I get to kick his ass on your turn thank
you very much it's a 13 to a sleight of hand you can keep grip or you can have a
dex to move it out the way so strength or dex either one oh it's savings right
you see me throw yeah you can use yeah reflex or you can use a strength check
for okay if I can use reflex 21 yeah they like go to grab it and you put it
out the way all right fine Keelan shit and then they're going to take off run
over to here we're getting opportunity attack yeah you do get an opportunity
attack on them as they leave your threat area okay shooting would be at a
disadvantage right but at the same time it's the weapon I have does a 13 hit
13 I do not believe it does actually it just hits oh nice I'm just gonna clip
him across the shoulder because I rolled a 2 for damage clip him across the
shoulder and just like fuck and they they continue to keep running although
they they've forgotten how to use the skates they are still they are still
able to run normal and they run over to Keelan and the other skater Amanda who's
down there as Zahmet is your turn fully now just drop everything and I'm going
to do total defense so that's a plus four to AC but I cannot make opportunity
attacks and I'm going to walk my whole movement away and my intentions to hide
behind those boxes as you finish up that theory I could assume okay hold on wait
up fuck can I do a sense motive check on the wolf guy yeah okay let me do that
real quick because okay not gonna lie he's just a little sassy it's a tiny
teeny bit that is a 25 with the information that you get you see flair
running toward him the skitter manders are kind of just like looking around and
just like waiting for some larger instructions you get the sense that he
is the kind of shot caller of this little group the rack is going to do a
very cool thing called spark of ingenuity which means that once per day
they can alter one of their biohacks to work in a different way and for a studio
spy or hacker they can expend two uses of their biohack ability to combine the
effects of two basic or minor biohacks into a single oh that's very uh what we
are going to do is we're both going to combine the basic inhibitor in the minor
inhibitor in this shot okay that's a 23 to hit that does it yeah that
definitely hits yeah and I'm gonna go back and I'm gonna look at my damage but
damage isn't really important part here is it so let me while I'm doing that let
me go ahead and read you off what happens with the basic inhibitor and the
minor inhibitor with the basic neighborhood inhibitor you take a minus
two penalty to AC okay you reduce the targets dr by five and you okay the
targets resistance to one type of energy by five Jesus okay is on what's your
what's your fire shit considered it's my fire shit that yeah that's just fire
damn fire damage is the one I'm gonna take I don't know if are there other
resist do I know what resistances this person has I tell you what because you
rolled high on a sense motive this is a more like Arctic looking wolf so you can
assume that they're a little resistant to cold okay then I will reduce
resistance to cold be even though I don't think we have anything related to
cold but you know that's that's it's to reduce the really get it so that is the
basic inhibitor the minor inhibitor and plus a slight hindrance of a minus one
penalty to attack rolls for a number of rounds equal to three plus my ability
score which is a total of seven rounds okay so they get minus one on attack
rolls for seven wow wait isn't there I hate I'm sorry I'm so sorry isn't very
like nauseated I wanted to double check something absolutely go for it as a
Raxolite I have plus two racial bonus against for saving throws against mind
affecting effects including paralysis poison polymorph sleep and stunning
effects would that count as any of them I believe that nauseated is its own its
own condition fact I tell you what's gonna happen I love the cool shit
you're gonna be able to do the cool shit you're gonna be nauseated on your next
turn you like your brain goes fucking a hyper hyper focused and then as soon as
you do it you know that burst of energy before you feel super sick it's exactly
what happened you had this one like super burst of energy and then you're
like oh sky okay I would like to run up to like can you see this arrow like
right where these little dudes are all right I'm gonna run up to here and I'm
gonna be like oh it's not for brains I hope you're not too attached to that arm
because you've lost the privilege of having it and I take a grenade out of my
pocket and I bite the pin to take it out and I toss it right over to them fuck
it gamer let's go okay sure thing so what do I need to do I need to roll a
like a dex I think to jump out the way so yes I need to roll a save what is
your dexterity modifier I think it's that's ability scores plus plus one so I
need to be a 12 on this to to dodge not fully dodge out the way I'll take half
damage if I if if they don't but it's each of them so flair makes it Keelin
also makes it the skitter Amanda also does everyone like dives out the way you
still roll damage they just take half when 1d6 p per 15 feet I think that means
p15 feet yeah okay what does that mean per 15 feet like just that the area 15
feet I think it's like it'll do that much damage in each 15 foot radius what did I
just what did I literally just say what 1d6 okay so
whomp sucks six okay cool so they all take they all take three as they all
immediately try to dive out of the way of this the key like gets hit as as
flares like hey we might be a little out of a little out of our range that little
Yosuke immediately made me forget entirely how to how to run on these
things yeah and I got 20 more of these in my pocket how long you want this
night to be boys as you throw the grenade and there's this explosion hit
with this inhibitor they are then like pushed out the way by flair she's cute
and scrappy and then pulls the goggles over their head and then flicks them
into place over their eyes we love a simp it is now the unless of course you
want your drone to do anything
to follow the robot that's been messed with though I am not loving not being
fast in the presence of this other fast teenager yeah it's the skitter banders
turn you after the explosion keeling yells we're flying away gentlemen
everyone grab your shit we're going and the skitter mander looks toward his arm
is like and then runs toward runs toward his arm let you just make sure that I
can make it they can they run over and they are going to use a they're just
gonna use a normal bite attack he's a normal bite attack against you what's
your KAC right now it's 17 because of that plus four that does still hit
fortunately this skitter mander jumps and out of their stomach their fur like
moves and this little like worm thing launches out and latches onto you as on
for three damage I cause you and what is your combat maneuver AC 25 so they're
gonna use their special ability where when they attack and with this little
worm thing they go into the same space as the person and latch onto them so
this little skitter mander this little worm jumps out and this six armed tiny
little guy is like scrapping and trying to get the the crystal away from you as
it's like fully attached to the side of your body this worm like a leech has
like suction cupped itself to the side of you as this little skitter mander is
trying to pull the crystal away it did use its turn biting you so it's nothing
yet these two are gonna run over to sorry this one the one in red after this
inhibitor flies out and hits Kim is gonna pop and runs toward theory act and
is going to make a contested dexterity check against you as they try to steal
the inhibitor like my injector gun yeah fuck they're like trying to grab it and
take it away as they saw something shiny and cool and they want it now so that's
a dexterity check dexterity check or dex save just a check these motherfuckers oh
my god that one your little needle gun and this skitter mander eyes grow real
wide is that like run over to you and then just grab it from your hands your
hands off that and they like they like bash it on the ground a little bit and
then point it toward you what I do want to say when theory act has the needle
pointed back at them they do realize that there is something glowing in the
like syringe in the serum that was not there before oh okay interesting these
other two skitter manders are after sky you through the grenade one of them is
going to try and grab the grenade satchel from you I got you think I'm
wearing cargo pants because they're in fashion I need a lot of pockets I'm
gonna go into your pockets and try to grab grab one that's a that's a dexterity
check from you it rolled a an 11 so you need to be in a well it's like searching
through your cargo shorts and pulls out a grenade and it's like and then you
snatch it back this other one it's fur moves and this like a worm thing comes
out it and it's just gonna try to thank you and this little it like launches
towards you you easily move aside as a role than that one as it like and then
slides behind you gets back up and is and is and tries to go back to like see
more professional it is now keelin stern keelin gets up brushes themselves off is
a little dazed helps up flair now tell me what's going on talk me through the
process of the fact that you don't know how to fucking skate anymore right well
so no yeah she has a spell I don't really know what happened and I'm kind
of a little confused because our coal kind of plan was for me to just like
skate and grab shit and then we can fly away can you get back on the ship yes
yes yes don't worry about it and they are going to use the ability cooperative
as they are going to give a plus two to the skill check of flair and them trying
to beat the check that that I put on them which didn't work again since I
rolled a four on that we move back to the top and can everybody roll me a
perception check yeah yeah yeah oh my god goodbye dice I rolled a two eleven
seven I rolled a ten with perception now have you noticed anything it's all good
this business is normal don't even worry about it I get your turn first I had a
plan but it's not gonna work so I'm gonna go over here hello
Assam and I am behind this thing and I don't really want to shoot it so I'm just
gonna look can I can I just grab it and just be like no because it's facing his
arm so I'm like coming up behind it is it is just be like I'm talking it's
currently like like attached to as um like it's the worm thing is like fully
in as I'm sorry that's right you see as arm like move and it falls off and kind
of swings along like it's fully suction cups on like a rope holding holding on
to his arm so you can try to pull it fully off I'm a little strong I'll try
it what am I what am I doing am I just doing like you can do a straight yeah
this will be a contested like a grapple essentially it gets plus four to this
now and it did unfortunately roll the 20 okay all right that's gonna be a 19 so
no yeah you try to pull it off and it kind of elastic bungee like boom like
goes back to his arm and he's still trying to scramble for the crystal I
guess that's it for now but I'm here Flair is gonna spend their action trying
to win this again and get over this spell oh my god thank god there's a
thread I that you attached to them and it almost like elastic like ping and
flies back to you and they're like oh yeah oh of course and they like click
their heels and then like turn around and they these their fly action as they
start skating toward his arm and the crystal as I'm it is you god I don't
know why they want the crystal so bad they don't even know what it is you can
roll me a sense motive if you want to find out why they want to that waste my
entire action you can roll with disadvantage for a bonus action that is
23 the way that they are treating this and the fact that they have like a bag
of other things it seems like they just think that this looks really expensive
and they don't have actually any attachment to it you just try to steal
a thing back and now we're in like this little confrontation where they don't
actually care about having it they care about saying that they have it can I
take the crystal and throw it in these crates so that they're hard to it's hard
to just absolutely you can I'm going to raise my voice you can keep everything
in a bag and leave us a crystal or I will kill all of you I'm gonna drop the
pistol grab this thing by the the worm and my hand is gonna start glowing and
it doesn't cause any damage but there is a burning sensation coming from my hand
so far this seems almost playful it's just like yeah just fucking around like
no one's doing any actual real damage to anyone as soon as you yell an actual
real threat flair stops and turns towards Kielan there's a silent
understanding between the two so be it and then flair pulls out at like an
actual gun and there's like a darkness that goes across their face
your threat has been noted
theory I could assume so I have been unarmed essentially this little skitter
is pointing this needle gun for G okay I need that's I need that so bad can I
tell that it's clearly just intrigued by like this like the shininess of it yeah
it's this is fully just like it's like basic crow style like this is a cool
shiny thing it's mine now yeah basically okay I am going to hold up my knife do
you want it and then I'm going to try and like barter for this gun back can I
roll diplomacy absolutely you can yeah what did you roll I'm interested no
can you tell me what that is total it's a seven cool I also rolled a crit fail
what what's what's the what's your crit fails total please it's one yeah it's
one and nothing is added on to it oh my god thank God you show the knife you're
like hey do you want it he's like oh drop the needle gun and the needle gun
goes lands and it shoots into your foot you can choose the effect of what
happens as the gun goes off into your foot well I'm crying I could inflict a
basic booster no no positive effect I do positive effects what's the point of me
having a gun you'd take on one negative I mean I'll take them for your booster
to do it take a minor inhibitor minor inhibitor okay good you take that as it
lands in your foot it's fully on the floor the skitter manda as soon as it
like it shoots into your foot you you drop the knife in pain and the skitter
man like and then grabs onto the onto the knife
everything under the cultivators and will use their movements to coward behind
this engine thing as you run it is going to take an opportunity to try and stab
you with a knife that you just gave it damn it it does miss though it's okay
we're already low it's like and then just study you can pick up the inhibitor
if yes on your on if you please skies your turn okay I'm gonna have the
grenade that I took from the skitter mandir in my hand I'm gonna toss it up
toss it down you know what I changed my mind you can have it I want to keep this
part though and then I'm gonna run let's let's fucking go you know what I'm gonna
roll the intelligence these fucking little tiny guys it was not clear the
thing I wanted to keep was the pay yeah you fully pulled the pin on it you give
the grenade to this little skitter mandir one of them is like the one that
tried to attack you this other one who is grabbing grenades fully picks up is
like ha and then there's the one that just tried to attack theory I could the
new knife that's like ah I'll get that but that and then the one shows the
grenade is like go to put that and then it explodes in my face you can roll that
damage for me it's three three okay they all take three damage the only thing
that you've heard them say is grenade is that it is that the end of your time
yeah I'm gonna run right right beside our our boy here drone still not doing
anything you know what yeah maybe met maybe better safe than than sorry I am
gonna be like listen skateboard I know I sent you on a very important mission but
we have been scorned by a boy we gave our number to so this is death con
alpha I need you here right now this is an emergency we cut to the little
skateboard that is it has just kind of like being sidetracked and followed the
like family of people that it almost like tripped over for some reason I
imagine the mrs. Nesbitt in from fucking Toy Story with these two kids he's got a
little like dolly hat on and there's tea and then you're like we got to go and
it's like and then shoots out the door you have specifically designed this even
in mechanical terms to be super fast so it's like fully like halfway on the
course already it's like fully almost made it to you as it like it's got like
it's got like a hundred and fifty foot movement speed I think it's like fucking
crazy these skitter manders the one that you're threatened is going to try and
just take a chunk out of your hand that's a 13 to hit you as on that's my
AC that's five damage to you as this get Amanda like and starts to bite you these
three are actually going to run back towards the ship as they are all like
burnt kind of singed there's like little flakes of embers and smoke raising from
them as they all like skitter on back not with a running away vibe but with a
purpose they are going into the ship for something
Keelin turns and and walks toward the ship from like a side like a side great
opens it up and pulls out a quite large rifle as they begin to load this large
laser rifle can everybody roll me a perception check a natural 20 27 I you
do hear this but a Zom you are possibly just keenly more aware of this noise as
there are heavy footsteps that now you clock that you've been hearing since
that grenade explosion went off the first one there is a door swing that
seems to be so far away at the time but now the heavy footsteps that come from
it seems so much louder as you see four Heth guards running out full armor these
like a large laser rifles everybody stop put your hands on your heads I would
like to roll a stealth check to hide okay that's a 21 you duck behind some
random debris that is just left there from another ship and you get the
feeling that they have missed you Flair has looked at you had some form of
intent as soon as you said you were going to kill someone looked to the
half and then got this scared look and looked back at Keelin who is staring
daggers at this this group of half Ike really does put her hands up and even I
think walks forward so sorry we can't explain put your hands on the head to
get on your ground I am gonna take a look can I try and catch the attention
of Keelin and make it more angry kind of glance towards the half and raise one
eyebrow like if you want us to fight with you for against them I can do that
it's a tiny movement but they do like a shoulder like ready check as an
indicator to you of I'm willing to open fire if you are waiting for my move come
on you're really lucky I'm not a fan of half I'm going to pick up the pistol
spin and with this little thing still attached me in the pistol beyond it and
fire one of the house because I really don't like half I'm fucking terrified of
them they're terrible people the bad people 19 to hit six damage I say
private event you're not invited you fired them and that gives the indication
of what is gonna happen it is now the top of the round you do do the hit I get
is you as arm has just fired upon these these these four heavily armed people
two of them in this bulky green armor and two others in this slightly like
nicer uniform but still you can tell is heavy is it safe to say that among these
crepes there might be some garbage for me definitely there's absolutely garbage
for you to take into your your goofy little spells you I make a little sort
of garbage I reach my hand and I pull it out I will just try to slice the part of
this one that is connected to his arm yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah 21 not
20 for a 20 hell yeah uh six slashing damage you cut this little weird little
worm attachment and the skitter mandem and then got that done poor and then
kind of falls to the ground is clearly still alive it doesn't seem to have hurt
it it's more just startled anything else for I'm done there's a yell from the
ship as Kielen yells leave the crystal to them get back in the ship so I was
like fuck I was kind of hoping we could dance a little longer and then turns on
a heel like in midair and there's this like light strip as they seemingly like
grind their roller skate and they start like shooting their way back to the
ship they're not doing any damage it's just they have like these like light
contrails that's coming from their roller skates they get inside and you
hear a of engines as they like jump into the pilot seat and start like flicking on
buttons and then you hear a bongus get back to us and the little one that's on
the floor is like and it's still swirling around you can assume the one
next to you I guess bongus and he's the only one not in the ship on this little
crew that's all for flair as armistice so clearly Kielen's not gonna live up to
the promise and shoot that wasn't Kielen's turn keen is just doing shot
calling in this so there's a lot of things that come from Keeling's perspective
how small is this little guy like one and a half foot he's teeny tiny he's like
this I'm gonna look at I you crystal I'm gonna pick up the little skitter
mander and I'm gonna rush off towards the ship myself you can move half
movement whilst carrying this little skitter mander carrying him like a
football they're bouncing like a muppet and next turn I can try and flat-out run
and see what happens before they react there is an arrival of these four guards
to arrive just looking at them is giving me stress the one in this like cleaner
armor seems to be some form of leader open fire open fire and they all aim and
they are all collectively going to take shots at a Zom since a Zom shot at them
that is a 15 to hit course it hits that is 14 damage that one's a crit fail
there's a 14 to hit that is 10 damage his arms knocked out sky it's you what
would you like to do sky loses her cool demeanor and the calm cool collected
look on her face washes off and she just looks scared and sad because I'm beside
everybody right now right I want to like run in front of them and be like whoa
whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa hands on my head they note that you have your hands
on your head the skitter mander that you were holding his arm rolls from under
you and tries to stabilize you and they do that you are stabilized so you are at
zero HP and knocked out but you won't die from the ship
Keelin grunts and fires the rifle a few times at the heath at the noise of the
of Keelin's loud raw these get him out of cop bar and runs off toward the ship
does the Sun look okay to me he said that they look stabilized what does that
look like to Ike I know normally what is he look like okay so for stabilized
does that mean I'm not awake yet cuz I still have to spin resolve to get up so
for a split second there they kind of looked extinguished all the color kind
of drained from their veins and now it's flaring back up again okay signs of life
but unconscious I will join side by side with sky and similarly hands up and is
going to say I'm sorry we were robbed we were attacked and now we were shot by
you theory I will watch as the head fully just gunned down a Zom and sees all
of these different individuals like standing up against the head and theory
act will do nothing and just continue to hide afraid the last remaining skitter
Amanda after helping as arm looks around frantic and scared but it looks back
towards the crates the big shiny object that's in the crates and as it decides
gets on all sixes and scampers over to the crates trying to push apart boxes to
grab the crystal as they reach their hand these heath guards keep firing at
the ship one of them in this cleaner armor walks toward the skitter Amanda
pushing them aside and puts their arm in and picks up the crystal it seems like
they were fighting over this what is that I don't know but it looks expensive
all right round them up let's get him aboard one of them walks over to Ike and
sky the other one walks over to his arm looks hey the one that is next to Ike and
sky raises the butt of their gun casually as they look toward this other
person calling them over doesn't this guy look like Captain
Melee's and then as sky and Ike are both hit knocked out and that's where we're
gonna end session hi there heroes I just want to jump in right before we do our
