Hello hello hello everybody and welcome back to the latest mission of campaign may cry mission
16 like I just up earlier on you all hear that recording but this is mission 16 die hard the
last mission the group went through they were dealing with their feelings about the fallout of
Derek becoming possessed by nine he contacted them when they were on their way to the Crescent
Hotel in Eureka Springs Arizona consider one of the most haunted locations in all of America and
there they had found a cult who was honoring demons the summity demon and the group fought
and defeated it and informed them that it the day that even the underworld does not want to see
the broker succeed and so with that in mind the group the the demon told the group to head to
demons gate in Wyoming I'm sorry devil's gate in Wyoming the group so y'all awake in your bedrooms
and you are a little slow putting your gear on you all feel a little sluggish today because in all
of your time in DMC you never thought you'd actually go to hell because I don't believe in any of your
backstories any of you have been to the underworld that correct no I believe in it okay you will
face the demonic horse but of course there are terrible things here so we will cut to you
probably have all faced you probably all faced no no I would never you've done anything with
them but regardless so we're back at DMC North America and Katie Winston and Zolpha all have
battle gear on they are preparing for ultimately going to what would be considered their first hell
gate no for anybody who is not play everybody here was not play devil may cry for
in there we experience a lot of what's called a hell gate and a hell gate is this black obsidian
obelisk like structure that connects to the demon world that is not what this is when Katie does
the rundown she goes well we've done some research and it turns out that demon didn't lie to you
actually it turns out and she opens up a board this holographic image comes up of the
Wyoming's devil gate which is stereotypical horror gate it is a bunch of stone blocks that come up
in an arch that defy the very structure that they stand and it's like the event horizon effectively
yes so she says you're gonna go there we've got a couple teams there right now alpha team from
Great Britain is also there to lend you guys support this is the team that you reported to
when you were over in Great Britain they have these are the people who have experienced dealing
with hell gates so she says get prepared and bonus you have two requisitions to use so let
Winston know and just get ready you're all going to hell wait no one foot everyone cue my
comic romance many of you do you think about it it wasn't somewhere so you guys you all do have
two requisitions to use so there are a couple things there is one thing I'm opening up and I
really really hate that I'm gonna say this explosive weapons are also for grabs hey so
when is it oh really I'm saying you can take a grenade launcher and a full magazine a rocket
launcher with a single shot I've been wanting this since the beginning of the cap paint why do
you do this or explosive ammunition so explosive ammunition how it works is it is to it is two
requirements and you get a half magazine of each of your weapons Jane for you it is six arrows
have got explosive tips and what they do is they they add one d6 worth of damage to the roll and
if you explode on the roll it adds an additional d6 on top of how many explosions you get very
nice if you roll a one however on your hit roll the magazine explodes entirely and you will suffer
a amount of dice of a fixed-eye roll that I know equal to how many shots are left in your magazine
so for example you could kill yourself if this goes off you would also kill anything within a
decent range to probably y'all are going in the hell like I wanted to be clear that random
encounters are a thing here usually I'm pretty set in how the encounters are gonna come out for
the session but I will be rolling percentiles there is a huge chance that you will just randomly
come across demons who are not okay with the fact that mortals are down in the underworld
I'm gonna tell you this Dante had an easy time because he was a half demon and the son of a
very powerful demon y'all are not at all by any stretch of the imagination Joe Schmose your
five random assholes who swandered into hell hey listen as long as I see me from the shoulder out
I think I think I passed the vibe check so with that you folks can choose to take your
requisitions as you want you each have so so as a total for a group you have to but if your
character wants to request specific stuff for themselves that is a free ask it would just
require a percentile plus a check on your end well Cody I had a disadvantage as a church as a
priest in hell no we will talk about how hell affects you when you go down actually
oh you might have you might not want to bring that sword to hell Cody are you are you bringing
the blade of riker to the underworld they not I've been doing pretty cool my pistol
a yeah you've been a you've been like boondock saints so go ahead and do what you're gonna
do I am just getting the next I'm I'm reading through my notes and making sure I have the
description for what happens to you guys settled in so go ahead and talk to amongst
yourselves what you would like if you have any questions please ask so well I'm an explosive
ammunition right team wise you have two requisites you can use those two requisites and get a rocket
launcher with a single shot or a grenade launcher that has a magazine which is six shots in it
they are explosive rounds only hey guys I got a great idea hmm okay put all your weapons and
shit on the table I'm gonna bless them they're already blessed ahead of time oh they're blessed
they'll be blessed before you go out on your mission okay with the fact that you are a
priest you would probably personally handle it to be to be frank but sorry I was like wait
what was my last edge it was that okay yep anyway you did not level up you will probably
level up at the end of this okay cool can I get a holy water yeah I mean yeah do you
have any holy water on you now no okay okay I'm gonna need holy water and a squirt gun
the one I give you a squirt gun you you as a priest would know that holy water is only
available to you I will give you four vials of it and you do know it actually does affect
demons and can I get a squirt gun we can't stop at the dollar store real quick no you
cannot stop at the fucking dollar general excuse me do you have the demon killers oh yes sweetheart
that's right here in the back no you gotta go to bed bath beyond it's in there beyond
section water gun it's no water gun no you you would cannot use a water gun because the
grade of holy water that you use would actually melt plastic and shit it also I also wanted
to be clear and let it be known that it will also do damage to dr. Freeman okay Freeman
you've been hit by holy water before and it fucking burns so I would like a flask hold
with holy water I don't intend to use it you cannot get it only only holy members of DMC
can get their hands on holy water brother yeah I need you to keep a flask of holy water on
you just I've already got four he's getting four vials of it yeah and I'm not sharing
my listen listen it's the only thing that's gonna really actually kill me let me take
a swing no all right is anybody is everybody have their things settled in I mean I know
what I want to I just add it to my character so what do you want I want the grenade on
cheese that is the group requisition so you have to clear that with the group oh go for
it yeah does anybody want a favor that is not in the book what you talk about favor yeah
I mean to Katie Winston and Zulpha and they may be able to do something for you that that
would you not get my joke no I got it I got it honey okay
he does not I think that's I think I did that very fairly to you for you so what about can
I get it being instead of a Winchester can I trade it out what did you want instead of
a Winchester the M16 from what I had before if you are taking the grenade launcher no
okay then I'll keep my Winchester is that fair yeah okay because you get one requisition
per person and the group use both of theirs on you so brother Reinhardt add four vials
of holy water to your to your inventory Xander Xander Freeman and Connolly what do you all
want take whatever's left there's the rocket launcher no you use you used all the requisites
on the launcher
can I get armor to Freeman yes you can get the experimental armor for free Xander I do
apologize the two requisites would be used to give everyone explosive ammo so you either
spent it on a big weapon or spent it to support the whole squad how much armor what do you
think would be better I think I think I think yeah Shannon huh higher low oh god I put this
in my fucking notes mark in your sheet that one of those grenades is a holy water grenade
wait what the holy hand and grenade of Antioch it's literally a holy hand grenade okay so
you have five explosive shots and one one holy water shot because the grenade launcher
is just like like a stock rifle grip with a tube on the end of it and like after you
fire the shot you'll cut like you cannot fire this gun twice in the same turn well I would
hope not holy yeah well so what's the range the same as the grenade launcher in the book
oh I don't fucking know what that is there just weapons they're in alphabetical order
then I'm gonna look for a launcher nope there should be a grenade launcher let me square
them I don't want to come up for stats for this too bad yeah I guess I'm gonna get up
think about what y'all want while I go look for this wait so what all is there again what
else is left so you can take experimental armor which is that armor that you guys have been
taking gives you the plus one armor but if you take a wound with it on there's a percentile
roll and there's a possibility that it stops offering you an additional plus three so it's
only a plus two armor okay so better than how much total armor is the experimental armor
I kind of I'll take that it is a grand total of plus five of which you all normally have
plus four so it's effectively plus one to what your current thing is I'm stepping away for
just a second I mean there's a stun gun yeah yeah I don't see grenade launcher in the weapons
yeah they have a missile launcher all ready modern we've got
but
juristic vehicle mounted hell no you think I am stupid
we're gonna go with I can't I can't I can't find it so here's what we're gonna go with
we're gonna go with 12 2448 damage is gonna be 3d6 and is gonna be a medium blast template
okay so do you want me to add it to your sheet for you yes please okay I could do that
because I'm I'm dumb dumb you're not dumb dumb you're just okay maybe you're dumb dumb
change the world you're not dumb dumb you're just dumb dumb
I have a very high IQ but at least it's above 100
and grenade launcher that nope that that should be an L
sounds like a plan this will be
be oh I know I'm strength d6 which I believe you meet that yeah
day
three c6
5, 1, notes, medium, blast.
Plates, all ready.
All good.
So Vivian, it should be added to your sheet right below your cult, 1911.
Could you click damage for me and see what happens?
Shannon?
Huh?
What?
I said it should be added to your sheet.
Could you click the word damage next to it and see what happens, please?
Susie, do you copy?
Damage.
There we go.
Oh, you know what?
I did not do hold up.
What?
Uh, there we go.
Uh, it is a shooting skill modifier, none.
There we go.
Perfect.
All right.
Now go ahead and click the button again and we'll see if I got that right.
Yeah.
Fun.
And then you roll damage.
Fantastic.
All right.
So with that out of the way, does everybody have everything ready to go?
Yeah.
Freeman, is there anything you wanted?
I took the experimental armor.
The experimental armor?
Yeah, I won armor.
Toughness of 13 days.
Do I have to add that armor?
Uh, just remember that your toughness is one higher.
Is that, is that acceptable?
Okay.
Alrighty.
So with that, where toughness is.
The group gets on the plane and as you go, you have time to sit there and Katie Winston
and Zolfa go with you and they're talking amongst themselves and then Zolfa speaks up.
She goes, are you all doing all right?
This is a lot.
Would I be lying if I said we're okay?
Wait, is our armor supposed to be four because mine's already five?
Oh, it should be four, but if it's already five, then leave it.
Oh, okay.
I don't know.
Would would would Dr. Freeman be lying if he said he was?
No, boy is like, what if I don't come back?
Am I okay with that?
I know death was inevitable.
I'm like this feels right.
At least you know you're sure to go to heaven.
No.
Well, if you die, you'll just stay there.
Let a punch in the middle that he just hands me house keys.
So as you as you all get there, you are greeted by this large stone structure, as I explained
before this large stone arch and there are generators hooked up to it because as you
all approach your semi triggers start to glow, whatever respective color of emotion you're
feeling if you're sad or you're depressed about where you're going, it shines a blue.
If you are happy or elated, it shines a white, but most of you at this situation are probably
nervous.
So for all of you who are, it shines an iridescent purple.
So depending upon your emotion that you're feeling your color, your color matches there.
Honestly, I want to say it's white.
Okay.
I'm ready.
I'm stoked.
Alpha squad sees the five of you and goes the squad leader, the gentleman you all spoke
to before goes, you're all right.
As wherever gonna be.
We're ready.
How it happened to your, your later.
Sorry about that.
This is someone is never easy.
Well, we have to avenge him somehow.
Oh, yeah.
He puts on a helmet and he has Alpha squads got you back.
They lock and load weapons and the gate as soon as the last room completes up top as you
approach it flares to life and this black and purple mass of energy flows in between
the stone blocks of the archway.
Katie comes in over your radio and she says, okay, you should be good to move, but there's
no telling what's going to happen.
Good luck out there and please make sure you come back.
Before you all start moving, you hear clicks on your belt line as Alpha team links to the
five of you and goes, we won't be a pro.
We won't be going in right away.
You'll be walking through the gate.
Make sure you got a good foothold.
Tug of the line twice if you're good once if you're not will pull you back in if you're
not feeling well, right back in from hell.
So hope they take a step and as and as they what was that Freeman?
Welcome to hell sniff the air the vibes off one tug get me out of here.
They take a stance and you actually watch as their as the leg armor that they're wearing
is massive and shoots out these two spikes and drive into the ground and then two wires
shoot off from the back of their belt and anchor into the dirt and they go.
All right, good to move.
It's like stranger things going into the upside down.
Chrissy wake up.
I don't like this.
So have not watched it at all.
I have all over ticked off.
I don't watch it.
My alarm.
Do y'all walk in?
I don't really have a choice.
We got a roll 20 way to update.
I see it too.
Right.
Yeah.
The model shows up above the roll now.
Hey guys.
Your character sheet on the page.
Great out.
When your character sheet and then just click away from your.
Why are we doing shooting?
I know I was seeing I was testing to see like my to come in.
So I'm like, yeah, I assume you all step in with no issue, right?
Yeah.
You are greeted by your DM screwed up again.
I apologize.
So I'm going to theater of the mind.
This is best I can remember that second map I created for during the during that live
stream Jasper.
Oh, God, that too.
It's OK.
We're going to theater of the mind.
As you all step in, you are actually greeted by a site that is absurd to you.
The site of a town.
You walk through this purple and black energy and what you expect to walk into is a desolate
wasteland.
But no, there's a street here.
There's buildings.
There's cities.
There's people.
But the air here is thick.
It feels like a blanket on your body.
It's hard to breathe.
Your footsteps feel heavy.
And you see people and demons moving about almost in complete synchronicity.
In complete synchronization.
Uh, it's secret synchronization or synchronization is not the correct word.
You see them moving like you see them moving about with no issues whatsoever.
Like when you step through the portal, they are you, but nothing's strange.
They're just like, oh, another expected more of a soul for us now.
To me.
Who would want to learn Starbucks within line of sight?
Well, who would want to live in a show?
You all are fine.
Does anybody tug on their cord?
Tug, tug, tug, what?
What?
You got a cord attached to the back of your belt so that they could pull you out quickly.
It's two poles if you're okay.
One pole if you're not.
Oh, two poles.
Can I have an insight check?
This was attached to you beforehand, both before you went in by Alpha Squad.
No, I met like notice about my surrounding.
Oh, yeah, sure.
Why would we not be okay?
Like immediately like started to like pull draw guns on us.
19.
Okay.
So.
I will give you this.
Some people are eyeing you here because they're like, oh, that portal and you hear whispers
on the wind of like, the portal hasn't opened in decades.
That's weird.
And the last one who came through with some old dude in a red coat.
And they keep talking about what not.
And they look and they go, oh, palers approaching them.
They're in for it now.
What do you want?
You see an individual walking towards you.
He's in tattered brown robes effectively.
And he's just got layers and layers of these different.
Dirt and soot colored clothes.
The area on the ground around you is blanketed in like redstone colored sand.
And you all see this gentleman approach you and he goes, hello, I am paler.
I will I could be your guide through the underworld.
They're all well armed.
So I fear you're not here.
Do you have an immediately opened fire?
So I don't think you're hostile.
His face is covered completely by the hood.
Not hostile without given proper reason.
And one thing you do notice is that the demons are clothed kind of normally or not wearing
any clothes at all.
They just got their demonic bodies revealed.
But all of the what you assume are just basic humanoid or people all have hoods over their
heads like deep hood so that you cannot see their faces.
Right.
Well, I'm not just going to really nearly trust a stranger down on these parts.
Is why I introduced myself again, paler.
Vivian, nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you as well.
I mean, I don't know anything else about you.
You're still a stranger to me.
Fair enough.
How about some information of the town around you?
Do you want?
OK, so why don't y'all give us a history lesson as they say.
But of course, paler goes on in that same exact tone.
I just used to explain that this town is called anchor.
And the reason it's called that is because it's actually a city that is an anchor point
between the human and demon worlds, which is why there are both humans and demons that
live here.
And they get along actually fairly well.
What was that, Jane?
You weren't.
So the thing is, you cannot confirm that anybody dying in this day and age goes to a stereotypical
hell.
This is just the underworld.
The only lessons that we know from from DMC North America is that the underworld is effectively
the same is the is a different side of the same coin.
So they are like the underworld and and the mortal plane are effectively just two pieces
of a puzzle that are together.
They are linked at certain points, which is why sometimes demons cross over and humans
can cross over.
But an entire city being in the underworld is something unheard of.
No books mention this at all.
None of the reports of the famous cities that would be represented that would be represented
in the games.
Nothing mentions a city in hell.
I'd like to ask him why there's a city here.
He I run Brimstone.
Right.
So he goes on to explain that the reason why there's a city here is that during the Redgrave
incident two years ago, when a when the Clifoth, a demonic tree that connected the human and
demon worlds together, this city was close enough to Wyoming's Devil's Gate that it
actually got sucked into it and completely nothing was destroyed.
It effectively flipped like a vacuum like a Baldur's Gate.
Right.
So situation effectively.
Yes.
For anybody who's played D&D, El Troll would be a very good example.
However, none of the humans died coming here.
They were so closely connected to the mortal plane that this area is actually livable.
The rest of the underworld unknown.
But for funny enough, as Taylor explains to all of you, crops can grow.
There's actually water and irrigation.
You can see people getting water from wells.
They're living.
Not the best, but they're living nonetheless.
Oh yeah, they're not living the best.
There's no toilets.
You sure about that?
I would hope so.
The plumbing here works out.
Where does it all go?
No one knows.
Though they do mention.
With that, he jokes around.
He's like, no one knows.
However, we did lose a child to a toilet once and I wish I was kidding.
So he explains that when a child stuck their hand down the toilet, his arm was wrecked
off.
It's style.
Taylor has said that if you give him a reason why you're here, all the demons will remain
completely friendly to you in this city.
But if they don't make the reason.
You won't know unless you tell them.
Looking for.
Or no, we're looking for an arm or like the.
What's the exact name of it?
The are you were told.
You were told you were looking for a devil arm.
But specifically, the person told you that you need to find.
A specific demon that is not a fan of the broker.
Looking for the hell place devil.
The hell place devil that does not bring any bells.
I apologize.
You see a demon that is like muscular, but kind of large start to like trample over.
He seems to be like.
You get the sense that he's acting almost like this guy's bodyguard.
Like in case you try anything on him, he will leap into action.
He starts speaking in a demonic tongue to the person and he's like, yes, yes, yes, we're
all fine here.
Currently are you here seeking someone, something or some information?
There's a very different things down here.
That's a bit of all three actually.
I assume news of the broker has made it down here.
What he's doing to the broker.
Does he have a real name?
Yeah.
Calvin Coolidge.
No, no, I'm no, I'm giving the eye to Jasper.
Does nobody remember the broker's real name?
Real demonic name.
wrote it down somewhere in our chat log.
Hector Ponce Alto.
Alto.
For a second, I thought Cody Tefano was like what?
So when you say that, you see the demon who showed up.
I is the five of you.
And he says something in the demonic tongue.
He goes, my friend here wants to know if you're allied with him.
Oh, fuck no.
Oh, quite the opposite.
My by the way, tomorrow I'd bake us all like, let's just say we don't like him.
And he doesn't like us.
And yes, I said, oh, fuck no, as a priest.
Oh, no.
Do you should do do you think I should relay to him what he's done?
He says he has.
Oh, you're the ones Rola Gorth said to be on the lookout for.
Sorry, Rola Gorth.
I'm sorry.
Who?
Rola Gorth.
He's in the next town over.
He's our leader, so to speak.
It's town over.
If you if you gave one tug, if you give two tugs, which says you're OK, the rip cord
rips off of you and repels back through the gate.
OK, yeah, so all your rip cords come off and the thing and you do get a connection.
It's very choppy, but Alpha Squad's going.
We're going to stay.
Keep the gate open.
And if you need assistance, let us know.
And then the commission and the communication cuts out.
So.
Taylor offers to be your guide through the waist.
If you're not comfortable with him guiding you, he will give you the directions.
The directions take the directions.
I'm taking the direction.
Not entirely.
Like inside him.
Can I inside him?
What's the worst that's going to happen?
He's going to try to kill us.
Oh, like no one's ever done that before.
Can I like do a notice check on him?
Give me a spirit roll.
I am genuinely not afraid of anything here.
Wait, how do I do that?
And 10.
Okay.
He's being genuine.
Like effectively the thing that tips you off that he's actually genuine about like wanting
to just lead you there is the fact that he said, ah, Rola Gorth is the one.
These must be the ones Rola Gorth said to look out for, which means was it?
No, see that.
See you you get that as like the.
Ah, they were expecting you.
And I don't like to be expected.
Right.
I'm like, I say we take the directions.
Mainly because the layout of hell is anything but consistent.
Well, so would you like me to be your guide or would you like directions?
We're never in terms of sure.
Take you.
Sheen says guide.
I guess you can be our guide, but no funny business.
You hear me?
Of course.
Except for like maybe a single dad joke.
I'm just saying he does.
He goes, I just need to prepare myself and he walks away.
I'm a child and a breeze blows his hood down.
And you get a look at his face for a hot second and you now realize while the humans
here wear hoods, the underworld has mutated them so that they can survive here, but they
don't look pretty.
He has it basically the right side of his face droops down completely.
You would assume he has a normal voice like your typical average like voice that you think
you might hear among everyday people, but it's been distorted due to where he is currently.
I.e. he's in the underworld.
His eyes are yellow and bloodshot like crazy.
And he has when you realize when you see him walking away, you realize he's got a little
bit of a gate.
His hair is very patchy.
He's very gaunt despite everything, even with like flabs of flesh hanging in certain
locations.
They're not wearing these hoods to seem cool.
They're wearing them because the average person would come here and think they're freaks.
You see him come out with a suit of armor on and a sword tucked onto his side.
And he goes, now if you'll follow me and he starts walking out of town.
Before I go to follow, I'm just going to like look down at my hands and be like, Oh, do
you actually check yourself out?
Yeah, discomfort.
Freeman, how much of your.
How much of your body does your arm recover?
Basically everything from the elbow up, shoulders, chest, then like legs and torso.
On your arms that are exposed.
You get a horrible image as no one has paid attention to it besides Pailer, who brings
out the, oh, you've been down here before, haven't you pointing at you?
When you all look at Freeman, Freeman, your experiments on yourself come to life.
You all see this stitching like design that takes up his arm and different sections of
his arm are in hand are all different colors and are all of different flesh types.
Some are leathery, some are scaly, others look like they're smooth as a baby's bottom,
while others look like they're scarred beyond belief.
You look like a puzzle put together by a three year old for a puzzle that's designed for
adults.
Down here.
Something like that, you could say.
Well, who are we to judge?
Time to anchor.
And he starts heading off in a particular direction.
I'll follow.
That's better than how I spelled it.
That's now how that's steady spelled.
I'll follow after trying to do my best to push those thoughts from my mind.
I leave here.
My arms go back.
I need a spirit roll from you, Dr. Freeman.
Hey, guys, you thought I wasn't going to get to your story, bitch?
You guys want to see me roll double ones?
Oh, please roll double ones.
Nope.
Why don't you go to I bought a beer?
So close.
I tasted it for a hot second.
I tasted it.
Thank you, Wilde.
I always always looking at you when you realize that your friends have actually your teammates
have never actually seen you this way before.
You start to lose your composure.
But I think ultimately it's right hard who would speak up and say something to you.
What would I say?
Realistically something along the lines of like, we're all different.
It's OK.
You can see that he's losing his nerve.
Hey, it'll be all right.
Just you know, don't touch the holy water.
Right.
That's just like, let's not lose him.
Let's go with a brother Reinhardt.
High majority or low majority?
The high majority.
High majority is 26 to 100.
Low majority is one to 75.
I'm going high.
Hey, all right.
Let's go.
That is a 51.
Now let's go with a gene Connelly.
High majority or low majority?
What'd you say?
Low.
OK.
And then finally, Dr. Freeman, because Xander and Vivian already got one.
That's why I'm doing this three.
I'm currently through my voice mods to see if I can find one.
It sounds like the one on.
OK.
Well, you said low majority, right?
Yeah, low majority.
You all make it to the next town with no issues.
So I'm going to tell you this right now.
If you just took the directions, it was low majority to high majority that you would
be attacked.
But the guide, Pailer, is able to steer you around demons and specific nests.
Yeah.
That's all right.
Y'all were this close to having a lot of combat this session.
Welcome.
You all make it to the next town with no problem.
And this town is very different.
It's set up like a giant circle.
A singular building stands out and the rest of the area looks like cottages, small cabins
built from very shoddy into crepit looking wood.
There's no windows in any of them.
And you see people and demons moving about consistently in this as well.
Pailer walks up to one of the demons and in the demonic tongue says something.
And the this guard looking demon, a this big, muscular red skin tone, two large horns coming
out, looks at you as you wield a golden spear in one hand and bronze in armor.
He looks at you and goes.
He looks at you, looks back at Pailer and Pailer says something and shrugs.
And Pailer looks back.
He goes, do any of you speak the demon tongue?
Sorry, didn't take that as a partner.
Sorry, didn't take that as elective university.
He looks back and he says one word cork.
And the demon just goes.
Follow me.
And he turns around and he walks into this large stone structure.
Y'all follow.
Yeah.
Ryan, you're muted.
Fuck.
I was taking a video.
Sorry, you're good.
I follow.
I have no reason not to.
What?
Bye, Cody.
How'd that happen?
They are using chrome because chrome crashed on me as well.
I'm on fire.
Yeah, no, I'm on fire.
So we're good.
I'm back.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What the shit happened?
As you as you all walk into the stone structure, you realize what the stone structure is.
It's a coliseum.
Son of a bitch.
Sitting upon a large stone throne is a demon who has red and gold skin and has holes where
his eyes should be.
He is massive and muscular.
Cool.
Like the guy from Jeepers Creepers.
And he says, I am roller.
Who do I have before me?
Hmm.
How to answer that?
I guess you can say we're enemies of alto.
What do you know about alto?
The contract king.
Aside from that, he's an asshole.
He wants to sleep, basically rule the world.
He's just done a typical douchebag that we will have to stop.
He smiles real big showing rows of jagged, sharp teeth.
In his left hand, he has his head on his under his left hand on the pommel.
He's a gigantic club sitting next to him.
His wings are actually wrapped around him.
So this, like what you thought was textured to his body are actually his wings.
Oh, Jesus.
And as he sits back on the throne, he looks at all of you, goes, alto is more than just
the contract king.
The reason he earned that title was because he is able to offer lower powered demons anything
they could desire.
It seems enticing and every time he makes a deal, he gets a little bit of their strength
in return.
This applies to both mortals and demon kind alike.
Okay, I'm sorry.
Just the way you said that made like the reason he's called the contract king.
It says he offers low price.
He has heart deals all the time.
It's hard to resist.
I just, I mean, I mean, he's a low one.
His are 1.2 APR financing.
I would have you seen his model.
He looks like the kind of guy who would be like a used car salesman.
That's the point.
Thank you for finally getting it.
Oh my God, we finally understand.
It's like he's a shitty used car salesman.
Like that.
That was the point of that character.
That's the that's the archetype.
Okay, session.
Thanks for coming on my show.
It's been a lovely game.
How do I get it?
Oh, you want to see the brokers model?
Yeah, I forget.
Let me put him on the table for you real quick.
I clip this moment.
This is hold on.
I'm enlarging him.
That is alto or the broker totally used car salesman.
Yeah.
Thank you for finally getting it folks.
Come down to alto's lot.
We got cheap price and I will tell you this.
We buy any car.
I can also relay this.
He has gained power down here as well as on your side.
Of course he has.
Defeating him won't be easy.
Is that anything ever given our fights with him?
Yeah, no, we know.
My master did send the instruction down to give you an artifact that he desperately needs
way to bring to him.
No, I am merely the second in command.
So, but I want to be made sure that he chose the right mortals for this job.
I mean, you want us to fight question.
I like you question.
Because I have a feeling fighting is inevitable no matter what we do.
Who is your boss?
Like, do we know the name of your boss?
No.
And he snaps his fingers.
He goes, I can assure you it is not Moondis.
Which all should make you feel much better.
So what happens is he stands up and the five of you are stand.
I need you to put your five models here in the middle, please.
So he stands up and he raises up his hands and as he does this magical energy surges
up past him.
It cackles a red and gold and surges out to the ground.
As you do these barriers raise up around you to heights unimaginable 30 feet in the air.
You see these chain link like fences surround you pulsing with energy.
As he lifts his hands up a second time benches and seating rise up and demons and humans
start cheering.
You see paler in this corner.
I did not make him a model.
Lean up against the wall and he just goes best of a lock to all of you.
You're going to need it.
And he he just leans up against the wall.
Jane I need your model here in the middle, please.
As he does this, he says your fight.
Rolligarth speaks up and says your fight will not be an easy one, but you've tangled with
alto himself.
This should seem trivial if you're smart enough.
He snaps his fingers.
This now brown and gray energy surges over the walls of the barrier into the ground and
cascade along it.
And as it pulses through you watch as it sits like a fog and then sucks into the ground.
You watch as malls open up in the earth around you and suck the energy in.
And as it does statues rise up.
Oh no, my greatest fear.
Ha ha ha ha.
Demons and their statues man.
They love them.
Don't you know all masons go to hell?
This is why Jesus was a carpenter.
Hello there.
Okay, there we go.
By the way, the phobia of statues is called megalophobia.
But it did it did it did it did it did it did it.
I don't have your statues.
I just well technically the fear of technically it's the fear of large objects.
No, no, no, he started it.
Yeah, did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it.
So these statues rise up around you and you can scroll in closer to see what they look
like.
But they are hunched over statues on top of pillars.
They sit about seven to eight feet in the air.
And let me ask you a question.
Which one are you looking at?
Each individually.
Which one are you looking at?
Let's start with the let's start with Zander.
Okay, Freeman, you're looking at this one.
Zander, you're looking at that one.
Yeah, Jane, it's auto Montenot phobia.
Jane, which of the which of the statues are you looking at?
You see Freeman looking at this one and Zander looking at this one.
Vivian and Reinhardt same question to you.
Is this a people here for that?
You're looking at that one.
Perfect.
Okay.
That one.
Looking at that one.
So, okay.
Perfect.
All right.
I like that one.
I need everybody to draw initiative.
Hey, folks, it's Will.
I hope you're enjoying the episode.
If you're enjoying this, please find all of our socials down in the show notes below.
And now, for the rest of Campaign May Cry.
I totally forgot that it was drawing that role.
I draw from my deck.
We're good.
A pot of greed, but let's me draw two additional initiative cards.
No, that card was cancelled from tournament.
Yeah, we're trying to figure out as well.
We're drawing.
Did we ever draw before?
Right.
Do you have an Easter?
No, I haven't had a club.
No, it only draws for me.
I have an eight.
I have an eight on this card.
I never, how do I click?
Okay.
There we go.
Oh no, I got it.
I handle it.
Nobody click it.
I wasn't gonna.
And boom.
Oh crap, where's my deck of cards?
It was right beside me.
Should've been on the table.
Aw man, I gotta fight.
I can't see Cody's.
Refresh.
Do it.
I would have to refresh the whole thing.
Never mind, I just saw Julie's card.
My five cents seems a bad thing.
How's everybody doing tonight, huh?
Oh, we're doing just dandy.
Who's got a phobia of statues?
Not me.
I know what happens in Doctor Who.
Who's seen Doctor Who?
Ah, they're like they're the Weeping Angels.
Yeah, you don't fucking blink.
Yeah, I started watching it on HP.
You don't blink, you don't turn your back on them or anything or they'll kill you.
It's like the one SCP, basically you turn your back on it and it'll snap your neck.
I only know SCP from YouTube games.
The Weeping Angels will teleport you.
To a different timeline.
They'll teleport you to a timeline where all your family is not born yet or and it is just
the perfect amount of length of time that they cannot find you again because you will
be dead.
Hey, don't spoil Doctor Who for people.
Sorry.
It came out forever ago.
I'm making a joke.
Y'all should be looking at this up in a villain for like years.
So I'm making a joke.
I'm going to run through this again just to make sure I have this correctly before we
go to initiative.
Freeman, you're staring here.
Xander here.
I believe I had Brother Reinhardt there.
Correct, Cody.
I was looking at this guy.
You were looking at that guy.
So then I need Jane.
I believe you were looking here.
Yep.
And so then was it Vivian who was looking here?
No, I was looking over here.
Perfect.
Okay.
I need highest initiative on your side.
Ten of clubs.
Ten of clubs?
Yep.
Ten of clubs is first.
Okay.
I mean...
I need you to take a spirit check.
Okay.
I was going to say we're looking at just statues, I'm understanding.
Am I right?
Mm-hmm.
Oh, that was a six and you fucked your Rolls-20.
Okay.
I need you to make an opposed spirit roll.
Rolls-20 has been my enemy this week.
Jasper and...
Jasper, Cody and Julie can understand that.
Xander.
Never the bad week.
You realize something.
You cannot see out of your peripherals right now.
Hmm.
It's like I'm focused on that.
You are deadlocked on that one statue.
You can look at other statues but you need to tell me where you're looking.
Yeah.
I was going to say that look, it's kind of...
It's not human.
It's mostly...
Definitely not human.
Yeah, so pacifist doesn't kick in.
Effet, here we go.
This is what the things look like by the way.
Yeah, I zoomed in on them.
Oh, they're lovely little handsome little boys.
Dude, Heroforge is...
Crazy.
Oh yeah, Effet.
Balls of the Wall shooting at it.
Go ahead.
Damn.
Why'd you get a 10?
I roll my dice exploded.
No, but it's showing a two on the screen but it gave you a four.
That's weird.
Yeah, because I...
It's whatever.
Hit.
Don't need to roll damage.
What happens is you hear the shot, hit it, but you see nothing but the bullet shatter
against it.
It does no damage to it at all.
That's one shot taken.
So okay, so now make sure I'm following.
The bullet made contact from what I can see.
The bullet absolutely 1,000% made contact.
Square between where its eyes should be.
And it just, you watch as it shattered, hit it and just...
Okay.
All right, that gives me an idea.
Can I take a notice roll to look a better...
Maybe get a...
I'm so focused on this one.
Yeah, go ahead.
Cool.
I give you something worth 20's lagon.
There it goes.
That's a four, probably nothing.
Just looking at it.
Nice statue.
Or creepy statue.
Yeah, you're so focused on trying to figure out why that didn't work.
Hey, what the hell I got?
I know I'm doing next turn.
Next highest card.
Nine of clubs.
Nine of hearts, actually.
Nine of hearts, really.
Nine of hearts.
Oh, 50, no, that's not...
Oh, that's me.
I need an initiative off.
Reverse alphabetical war.
Oh, so...
Agility.
What's that?
Rolling agility check.
I don't think I ever know.
Is that because the stone statue's agility is zero?
We roll.
Oh, fuck.
You're up.
I roll the one again.
You gotta figure these are probably not all of ours.
Vivian, I need a spirit check from you.
Ten.
Ooh, nice.
Oh.
Are you kidding me?
Oh, Vivian, you cannot see out of your peripherals.
Great.
We love that for me.
Oh, me too.
Which statue were you locked on?
You...the one...
Bill, I think to help you out, dude, it might...
No, no, no.
Are you...I literally...literally this one.
Bill, can I make a suggestion?
Got it, okay.
For the third time.
Because you can on the creatures like...
Yeah, I know.
Color code them.
So...
So Dr. Freeman, there's this one.
I did not want to do...
Vivian is red.
That's the one Vivian's looking at.
This is the one Dr. Freeman's looking at, which is orange.
Which one is Jane looking at?
She's looking at this one, right?
Also, if you shift hold the ruler button and then let go, it leaves the ruler on screen.
Okay.
Oh, does it?
Vivian is pink, so we'll put that there.
Uh...
And then...
Oh, cool.
Vivian, one more time, I'm so sorry.
You were looking at this one.
This one.
You were looking at that one.
Okay.
Green.
We will take off the red.
And then so Jane, one more time, which one are you looking at?
You were looking at that one.
Which means I need Brother Reinhardt.
Which one are you looking at?
One on the left.
Got it.
Okay.
And you are blue.
Okay.
Dope.
Vivian, you have eyes locked on that one.
You cannot see out of your peripherals.
So, question.
Yes?
Do I know what would happen if these angels would look at each other?
You have no idea what these things are.
They just look like statues.
That's fair.
That is player knowledge versus character knowledge.
Vivian has no fucking clue what she's looking at.
Yeah, I know.
Doctor Freeman wants to...
Doctor who doesn't exist in this universe.
Fuck off.
How?
I think Freeman's favorite part would have been like the 10th Doctor.
Well, duh.
Probably.
Actually, no.
Wait, what the hell?
What?
There's just an eight of clubs sitting here.
We'll get out of there.
I hope you didn't delete that.
What?
Delete what?
Oh, you can play the cards from your hand.
Oh.
That was me.
I think that was me.
All right.
Anyway.
I clicked the cards when you said to draw the cards.
I was confused.
Oh, Xander.
You're all...
Xander, okay, you're red.
Got it.
Okay.
You can stop doing the measuring thing.
I should have marked everybody's by this point.
Sorry.
I'm thinking what to do.
I can change my color if you want.
No, that's fine.
Well, no, she's red on the die, but her circle's green, so that's why I just marked her green.
And what did...what happened to the bullets with Xander?
Nothing happened?
Yeah, he shot it and it shattered.
Like the statue shattered?
No, the bullet shattered against the statue.
And do...would I make the assumption of what the...I have the same bullets as him?
Yeah.
Okay.
You do have a grenade launcher.
I do, but I don't want to waste the Holy Water one right away.
I would not, yeah, save the Holy Water one, but you have five other ones.
You do have five explosive shells.
Um...
The downside is that you can only shoot the one you're looking at.
Well, I was hoping to.
Go ahead.
Um, so I mean, I guess we'll try the grenade launcher.
Might as well.
A medium blast would be that one as well.
Now...
Just missed that one, thank God.
So I wouldn't be able to get this one and this one at the same time?
No, you get those two.
You do not get this one.
Okay, well, okay.
I was just...yeah, I might as well just...
You do not get this one.
Even though I'm primarily aiming at this one, I would love to hit that one.
Which I mean, it would be cool.
Not going to lie.
Um...
I close out my character sheet like a dumbass that I am.
We love that.
Way to go.
Yep.
Still love you.
Mm-hmm.
Yep.
Y'all ready for one of the what I think is the coolest fights I've ever designed?
No.
Oh.
Can I...
Just gonna say that.
Benia?
You can?
Yeah, so it's not a double one.
You can Benny that.
So you could Benny that.
You should Benny that.
Okay.
I can tank a grenade.
The person to my left and right would be...
Um, no, I will get plus two.
That is correct for Elon.
Yeah.
Elon is like...it's a bit...so...
Six.
Six?
Hits?
Dead on.
You fire...you open up the grenade tube, pull out one of the explosives grenades, shove it down the tube, click it back up.
Badass here, you hold it out with one hand.
Click the trigger.
It fires off, streaks of the air.
A soda can sized grenade strikes a target, explodes.
The dust clears.
Statue is completely unharmed.
Okay, so it's...
I need it.
I need it with 10 damage.
Oh, it doesn't even do anything to it.
There's not a scratch on it.
It's just...so, okay.
Out of character.
Xander's kind of also working on this in his head.
Okay.
This is not your typical...
Can I do a notice check?
Is it for reaction?
I will allow it, but you suffer a minus six to the roll.
Why?
Because of the fight mechanic.
This is not your typical just shoot, run, and gun fight.
Yeah, I know, but like...
This is a thing.
I want to roll as a reaction to that result.
You seem...
How do I explain this?
You seem drawn to just look at this one.
No, but I want to see, like...
Can I make any insight to what to do next if the grenade launcher didn't do anything?
That's why I want to roll...
No, only because you don't know what's going on.
Okay.
You're like, I fired a grenade launcher at a statue.
It should be destroyed.
Like Xander's bullet, sure, but a grenade?
Is there any roll to figure out what's going on?
You...
Give me a smarts roll.
At a negative or no?
No, this will be normal.
Okay.
Six.
If you could figure out what kind of demon this is, if it is a demon,
then you probably have a better chance of fighting them.
Okay.
Like I said, this is not your typical just running gun, shoot it, until it dies.
Well, duh.
In every single... everything else.
It's almost like this is a gladiator match.
You're supposed to prove yourselves.
Obviously, you have to punch it until it dies.
Then we have...
So that was nine of hearts?
Yep.
I am going to give you that as your one free action for the turn, though.
If anyone wants to make an occult roll or something, please...
Not me. I couldn't unskill, but I'm the fourth.
However, on a nine, the...
Nine of hearts.
Yep, nine of hearts.
One, two, three.
One, two, three, four.
And two of them, you don't even catch it.
Spring to life, extremely quickly, fly to the two of you,
and there's going to be an attack roll against Xander and attack roll against Jean.
Save your time, my parry is six.
No, it's not. You're not looking at them. It's minus two.
Same thing with Jean.
Right, that's what my parry is for.
They prey on the periphery, huh?
Parry is going to be six.
So, basically...
Xander, just a hit.
They basically... they try to like... they want you to like...
Jean?
There's some type of magic going on here.
Jean, what would your parry be minus two?
Six.
Oh, so close. Just a hit.
Xander?
Not bad.
14 damage, AP four.
Woo.
And then Jean?
Oh, you got the opposite look of Xander there.
11 damage, AP four.
As Xander, you're not looking at the one that rushes you,
and you feel the sharp claws get injected right into the side
and slip right through the segments of your armor.
Jean, it's kind of close to the same thing,
but it slips through your peripheral vision,
comes up and just slashes at you.
Xander is using a Benny. How much damage is this over by?
Seven.
Seven? Wow, really?
Oh, he could put it on your gate, your armor doesn't he?
He gives me one armor.
Oof.
Yeah, when you said AP four, I'm like, well, fuck.
Yeah, these hands...
AP four.
I give no fucks.
Xander, you're fine.
What's the AP four mean?
It means however much armor you have minus four off that armor
when calculating your total toughness.
So, you're only going to get one armor.
So, you have the experimental armor, so you have an armor of five,
so you only have an armor of one.
So, one plus your toughness.
Eleven.
Incorrect.
Your toughness, that's your toughness, your armor together.
So, if your toughness is in total out of the parentheses as eleven,
your same toughness is me at the moment,
which so minus four off of that is seven.
So, seven minus eleven from the damage you took,
because of the AP four, you took four damage that's a flat wound.
Yeah.
So, you took four damage above, which is a wound,
so you can either choose to take the wound,
and then there's a percentile chance that your armor fails
and gets reduced to armor just plus two,
or you can roll up any here and see if you can reduce the armor.
Reduce the damage.
Okey dokey.
Go ahead and roll.
Should be able to click the thing that says soak roll.
Vivian.
What?
Just remember for the Elon edge, using the Benny for the soak roll
does not get a plus two.
Okay.
So, what do I take note of?
You're good.
You account as a scale check.
Correct.
Then like it said, if you use a Benny to re-roll a soak roll,
however, you will get plus two then.
So, that was them.
You do notice that the red ones seem to want to move.
This one, shuttered.
It wanted to move, but it couldn't.
Nine of clubs are nice.
I hate, I hate the fucking rule I have for these.
That I will tell you guys about afterwards.
Nine of clubs.
Nine of clubs up.
I'm going to tell you this right now.
I have an ace of hearts.
Because of their special rule, it can't see two of hearts.
So, go ahead and take your turns.
I can't see this one, can I?
You cannot, because you're not, is it your turn?
Yes.
Nine of clubs.
Okay.
If it's your turn, I need a spirit roll from you.
Oh boy.
Your peripherals are working.
You can see this one.
I'm going to hit it.
Do you check, do you look at it to hit it?
I mean, it makes sense that it would look at something that I'm punching, right?
Go ahead and roll me an attack roll.
I haven't felt I'm going to get punched.
Ten.
You hit dead square as soon as you look at it and your fist makes contact.
It's like striking steel.
You do nothing to it.
Left hand.
Why'd you roll two d8s?
Oh, because you rolled damage.
Oh, my bad.
You rolled damage both times.
You did.
I'm going to tell you this right now.
No need to roll.
You hit on both of them.
22.
Tongue.
Nothing.
And Xander, guess what?
You count as grappled, my friend, because it's frozen stuck in your skin.
What, you mean Dr. Freeman?
No.
I mean Xander.
Because it attacked him.
These rules mechanics, my boys, my good friends and girls.
So I figured I had to beat this fight.
Okay, Jasper, you and me on the same wavelength here.
Splash damage without looking.
It's going to be a little tricky because I don't have any splash weapons.
Just, no, just do it like you're in a nineties action movie.
Throw a grenade behind you and then don't look at it.
Okay, so that was nine of them.
Nine of clubs, right?
Next card.
Would be five of spades.
Five of spades is up.
Is that Jane or three?
No, are the angels locked on us in terms of seeing us?
What are they looking at?
What?
You don't know that.
You don't know.
What do I not know?
The one you're looking at seems to be staring straight at you.
It has no eyes.
Did you see what they looked like?
Do you want me to enhance the model real quick again?
What do I do?
Whatever you want.
Do what you, it's your turn.
So that's what they look like.
I'll pull out a bag of popcorn.
We're going to call the seam.
Let's see.
Brother Reinhardt, maybe if you knew what you were fighting,
you would know what to do.
Oh, wait, are these motherfuckers in the, uh, the tomb of Ken?
Oh, uh, do I roll a nine?
Do I roll a nine?
Do you have knowledge of Colt?
Do you have the Colt skill?
Just the Colt skill.
Go ahead and roll that.
When did I also roll that?
Uh, we're already past your turn.
Fair enough.
My turn now.
Six on the Colt.
So, you got it.
Real quick, I want you to roll a spirit check.
Okay.
I mean, Cody is the one, what the hell?
Uh, dude, my computer.
Yeah.
Okay.
Sorry, my discord crashed.
Oh.
Did you have insurance?
I missed everything that was said there for that recording.
Oh boy.
Okay.
My discord crashed or?
Discord itself.
Discord.
Discord itself just hard crashed.
I didn't have any.
Well, this is why Will has backup.
So, let me just say this.
The part I missed.
Did you pause your recording?
No, I didn't have a chance to.
No, that's fine.
I can just upload my audio as well as long as we're in sync.
It won't matter.
Yeah, I think we should be good.
The only, so the only part of the,
the only part I missed was when Cody was rolling his spirit
for his stuff and everything.
Like, that's when discord said,
hey, I'm a piece out, I'm out.
Okay.
So we didn't miss much.
We can, we can just rewind back to that.
And then this way I don't have to use my audio at all.
Yeah.
But I don't know yet.
I don't know.
I call it, everything's been called.
Like video wise and everything.
It's just audio went.
No problem.
All right.
We'll, so restarting the music.
Three, two, one, and start.
Okay.
So Dr. Freeman, need a spirit check from you.
Need to write it hard?
That's what I meant.
I was about to say like, what?
I meant, Reinhardt, I said Freeman accidentally.
No.
Four, you cannot seem to get the results stuck.
You cannot seem to take your eyes off of this one,
but for your knowledge of cult or your,
your, your, your idea for your occult skill,
you do know what these demons are.
They are called statuettes and effectively they are demons
that have impenetrable skin while you're looking at them.
Anyone you're not looking at can move around and attack
normally and you actually know that they're quite strong.
But when you're, when they are being looked at,
they are completely invulnerable.
No amount of damage on earth can hurt them.
And no one brought a fucking mirror.
Anyway, I really, really stand for one else.
All right.
How?
I just, I just tell you, he just says it.
And I'm do one thing I can only think of.
Okay.
Freeman.
Can you see Freeman?
Yeah.
Okay.
I'm about to do something very risky.
Just do it.
No, no, no, no, no, I need you to guide me on this one.
Okay.
While I'm looking at this guy,
I need you to point my arm with the gun in it.
With the gun in it.
At the demon.
I mean, my friend, my friend, my brother in Christ,
lovely plan except for one issue.
What the?
To properly aim it for you.
I need to look at it.
Unless I close my eyes.
Well, no, no, if I'm not looking at it,
look, just point it and get out of the wreck and then look away.
Brother Reinhardt.
I'm sure I did.
We're going to pause the music real quick.
Just point my arm.
Okay, everybody, everybody.
Brother Reinhardt, you hear a voice in your head.
Use me.
I can kill them without a second thought.
No one can escape.
I thought he didn't bring it.
Did you bring the blade of Riker?
Yes, I did.
Oh my God.
You know what?
I didn't say I left it behind.
That's perfectly true.
Just tell me that you left it behind.
I forgot.
Will called me out on it.
So this is entirely normal.
I wonder why you're all thumbs.
So the blade speaks to you and your mind goes,
use me.
I can shut them down without a second thought.
I just need your body.
Oh no.
No.
Sorry, dude.
This is more like a test of my skills.
Look, look, I'm sure we'll run into the broker and I'll use you later.
All right.
This is just a test.
I'd feel like I'd be cheating.
That's me.
The boom.
You want to give it to Dr. Freeman?
No.
That's a bad idea.
Look, Freeman just at the point my arm.
I'm going to be a little tricky.
No, I'm going to say no for one reason and one reason.
Because we're all laughing at it.
No, it's because he chose to swing both fists for his attack.
Oh, gotcha.
Next time though, I'll got you.
So in all fairness, wait, wait, wait.
Using both hands.
You're right.
I would just, I can't just ask him to yell at me because then I might accidentally
shoot him.
Do you want to try to shoot at the thing that you think might be to your right or left?
Fuck it.
Let's use the sword.
Yeah.
Oh no.
What do you do with it?
That's it.
Hey, if you can hit these guys while not looking at them.
Yeah.
Riker says to you, the only way I can do that is I need your body.
I'm feeling right hard going to die.
Can we not do the body thing?
That sounds very incredibly invasive.
Because he's very painful.
There's no other way.
I don't believe you.
He's actually being, take an insight, take a spirit check.
Tell me why you need my body.
Explain to me.
I can't.
But what if I have a bad reaction to a demon because he is a priest?
I can't use my powers.
I don't have the insight skill.
No, no, no.
No, spirit check.
Spirit.
Insight's not a skill.
Yeah, insight skill.
I'm just going to.
He's actually being genuine.
He explains to you that he cannot use his powers himself unless he is inhabiting a body.
In the blade, his powers are usable, but only by the person who wields it.
I wouldn't, Coney.
I would.
It's your character.
You're reckless.
It's two parry opinions.
I wouldn't.
Followed immediately by the I would.
It's your character.
You do what you want.
What if, okay, I have watched Evil Dead recently.
What if you give me the hand with the gun in it and if you try any shit, I'd shoot myself?
Fine.
I'll shoot you for you.
Well, now you're being a dick.
Well, do you let him take control?
I am assuming control.
I don't let him assume control.
He sounds like a real dick.
Talk about it.
He won't explain his reasoning.
He said, I can't use my powers in this form.
I need to be inhabiting a body.
Wait, this is one channel floor.
Well, I mean, on the good side, if he inhabits your body, you're not looking at it.
Okay, wait.
Would this technically count as us proving ourselves, though, if he did this?
Hey, quick question.
If he gets possessed by a demon, which one of us is going to perform the exorcism, if not him?
Not it.
Yeah, no, that's true.
Scott, just hand off the sword to someone else.
Here, give it to me.
I can take it.
You know what?
An exorcise me.
You know what?
No.
I'm just going to shoot wildly.
Are you going to shoot with that looking?
You're going to shoot wildly?
Uh-oh.
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
Wait, no, you might shoot one of us.
I need you to take a shooting roll at minus 10.
Okay.
No, no, please don't do that.
Okay, hold up.
Hold up.
I'm reconsidering.
You said no.
You said you were taking a shooting roll.
You can't go back just because you know the negatives.
No, he was considering.
He was considering.
He said, and I quote, I shoot wildly.
No.
He caught me.
Yes, no, he did say that.
Negative seven.
So I'm going to roll a D six.
Please hit me.
Just hit me.
Yeah.
I mean, just end me.
It's fine.
You shoot Dr. Freeman.
Go ahead and roll damage.
I mean, I mean, Freeman has the one that has the best toughness.
Explode like 18 times.
This is how I need right hard to get like 56 damage.
Because boy, do I have something special.
Freeman goes down.
Oh, six.
Seven.
That's not bad.
Six damage.
Yeah.
No, you're fine.
You know, you hear you feel a Glock plug into your back.
Like, what the fuck?
I thought I could aim it.
I could see her.
Oh, wait, wrong team.
I thought I could.
All right.
You're.
Wait, wait, wait, I want the sword to go.
Yeah, you shouldn't have let you can let me do it.
Yeah, look how that worked out.
I got a healing power.
I'll check him later.
That's not good.
Jane, you cannot take your eyes off of this one.
Storyteller.
Can I do like an occult role on it to see like.
So brother Reinhard let you know that these are demons called statuettes.
And so when you're looking at them, they're completely invulnerable but cannot move.
However, when you're not looking at them, they're actually pretty fearsome demons.
They're very strong.
And then I tried to then you saw me try to aim while looking at one of the not looking
and like, OK, I think you can shoot them.
And then you see me completely fuckers my thing.
I would feel like you'd be like, you know, I'll shoot over the back and you shoot straight
to the back of Freeman's head.
No, I shoot in the arm or something.
He's like, ah, I'm the strongest part of my body.
The only parts that get me milk.
No, no, no, I think you know there's something fighting you in close combat.
You can choose to swing wildly.
I feel like a great Freeman or fight while not looking to stick damage to Freeman seems
pretty OK.
Go ahead and roll your demonic demonic ability skill.
What is it called?
Demonic power skill, please.
Oh, God.
It goes off.
What does protection do?
A myth, low heart and skin, ethereal armor and a myth.
You get plus two armor.
OK.
Makes sense.
Anything else you want to try to do?
You do have like free actions, but besides that, not really much.
I would swinging wildly be considered a free action, probably.
No, no, no.
I'm still in very unsure about these things.
Not a problem.
The force before gray ones.
Maybe I'll take a sip of my liquid courage.
How about that?
Fair enough.
The four ones that are that are all being looked at do nothing.
OK.
Their initial will be skipped and we will do initiative again.
Xander.
Six.
Yeah, six.
All righty.
And dealing the cards out to the rest of you.
Here we go.
We've got a king.
Boom.
And boom.
Is that next?
I'm a king.
That one was for it's like that is unfortunate for you guys.
Great.
It's like an IP safe.
Ash Williams.
All right.
I discard.
King of Hearts.
King of Hearts is up.
Oh, so it's me now.
Yes.
Freeman spirit check.
I mean, Reinhardt.
Reinhardt spirit check.
Yeah, he's saying Freeman, dude.
I know I don't mean to.
In Cody aren't that kind of couple.
You cannot take your eyes off the statue you're looking at.
Yeah, I'm just Jasper's generic with this great friend.
You almost said boyfriend and you know it.
It's on recording.
You son of a bitch.
I was just generic boyfriend is what I wanted to say.
It's like, oh man.
No, that's a little too on the nose.
All righty.
What would you like to try to do?
Like I look at the sword is like fuck it.
Let's try your way.
My way clearly didn't work.
Oh, no.
Okay, so power of grace.
But if you try anything, I will excite your ass from inside my own soul.
So you watch you all watch as Reinhardt lifts his hand high.
The blade of riker in it ignites and brother Reinhardt gets sent into his semi trigger.
However, he looks much different.
He no longer has a head.
His face is contorted and twisted on his torso.
The coat tails that he has are now large feathery angel wings and the sword has taken
on a prismatic shard like glow.
And all of a sudden you see Roligarth go.
Riker.
He lifts his blade high into the air and let's see brother Reinhardt.
What is your let's pull open your character sheet real quick.
It's a very serious one.
So I turn the music off.
Go ahead and roll me a spell casting roll plus six to the roll.
Okay.
So that'd be just be a wait, wait a minute.
Just the spell casting skill.
Yeah, right.
I was about to click bolt and I would be stupid.
The plus six.
You are going to take a full wound that is not ignore.
Okay.
Sure.
However, he lifts his blade up.
He lifts his weapon up into the air.
A white light shines and Riker says this is all like it all fire.
You see the steel like structure of their skins fade.
He literally removed their invulnerability feature.
All the statues are damageable until the end of the current round.
Yeah.
And Riker is a fucking greater demon.
What do you want from me?
And unfortunately he did not take away where they can't attack if you're still looking at them.
So if you're looking at them, they can't move, but you can hurt them.
And it's the start of the round.
It is the start of the round.
You can hurt them when you're looking at.
Wait, can I attack?
Yes.
No, that counts as your action.
Oh, all right.
He did kind of eliminate an entire feature.
Okay.
All right.
You do count as in semi trigger for any roles moving forward for the rest of the round.
However, I now have a king of clubs.
Does anybody have higher than that?
No.
The red ones are now going.
Music.
Yep.
I'll kick that back on.
So with that, we've got combat roles.
Reinhardt, what is your?
Oh, no, wait, your.
That's right.
No, that's Riker.
So never mind.
I know what his parry is.
Hold on.
Yeah, that demon sure shit didn't hit the one demon facing Xander is being looked at.
So it cannot attack him.
And then I've got one attack against Jane and one attack against Vivian.
Tech and Jane, Jane, what is your pair?
No, don't worry about it.
Vivian, what is your parry?
Don't worry about it.
They missed.
Yup.
Me's ribby.
Alrighty.
The DM says, don't worry about it.
Who's next?
Jack of Spades is up.
Now you see this and go.
My cat is sitting right now.
We're going to move here.
Look at her.
Punch one.
I am the night.
Alrighty.
I am as we lose you.
Oh, sorry.
I accidentally pressed the back.
I am the night.
Alright, so semi trigger.
Go ahead.
Plus two to the roll, correct.
Lord don't fail me now.
Eight.
Actually, it's going to be a 10 hit and a raise on this one.
Oh, you're not in semi trigger friend.
You just transformed into a demon in the realm of the demons.
Yeah, Jasper basically did what I was going to do.
So that is 26, 30 damage.
So this one is destroyed.
Other guy on my left.
Give me a spirit check before you do that.
Oh, God damn.
Five.
Well, no, just a three.
What was the result for that table?
You are currently battling for control over your own mind.
You can take no more actions for the rest of the turn.
Oh, yep.
I mean, it makes sense I tore the one guy at top piece.
But your semi trigger is even stronger than it normally would be as you take on even more demonic features than you normally would.
I also have that one thing where I super charge my trigger if I stay in it too long.
So I'm going to drop out at the end of my turn.
You don't get that choice.
There's also no blood points in here.
So you can say semi trigger as long as you'd like.
Getting reprimanded?
Huh?
Without reprimand?
No, there's going to be consequences.
There will be consequences, my friend.
Next highest card.
Man, I was about to go into devil trigger. Thanks for doing it for me.
Who's next?
Should it be Shan or...
You see a roligarth who's already standing up like surprise at riker and you just see him like...
I have a 10 of spades.
10 of spades is up.
Fuck, I was going to do my devil trigger now, I don't know.
Wait, so if I do my devil trigger, I can't get out of it?
You will be taking spirit rolls.
Hey everybody.
If I want to get out of it?
If you want to do something.
Basically you have to do...
Basically you are battling for your own mind when you enter into your trigger here.
Not that you would know that.
You just see that freeman looks a bit more demonic than usual.
Normally he's got blue flames coating his arms and his runes all over him are blue.
And he's got two goat horns.
These are now two full size horns.
And he roars as he sends his fists through.
I'm Illidan Stormwind from World of Warcraft Burning Crusade, baby.
And I was not prepared.
Jane, you flare to life in your semi-trigger form.
But instead of riding a wolf, you now take on the features of a wolf.
You now have a snout, you have large claws.
And while you're holding your katana in one hand, you feel like your claw is even sharper.
Go ahead and roll an attack roll against your first target of your choosing.
I'm staring at it.
You're swinging at this one and you're staring at this one now?
The same one.
Okay, it's far.
I'm going to tell you this right now.
You're a little under out of control.
You'd only be making close combat attacks.
Oh, okay.
Then can I turn and look at this one?
There's your right.
Oh, this one.
Yeah, absolutely.
So I'm going to go ahead and unmark this one.
And go ahead and mark this one.
And what do I do?
A fighting?
Yeah, just while you're fighting.
Well, we would take the first roll because.
It's weird to make sure you roll twice.
It's so weird.
When I click it, it doesn't nothing happens.
So plus four is a nine.
That is a hit.
This roll for damage is also plus four.
Do I roll for damage?
Roll for damage on the katana.
I assume you're swinging with your sword.
Yeah.
Go ahead.
All right, just hit roll damage.
Yeah, hit roll damage, please.
Oh my God.
I'm an ominous.
So 13 will destroy it.
I legit thought that G12 was about to go like, oh God.
And now, Jane, I need a spirit roll from you.
You know what, Jasper?
I forgot you were supposed to roll a D6 after you failed that spirit check.
I apologize.
So I actually give you the best result you could get.
Jane, you retain control of your mind with the best.
Yeah.
The worst is I take control of you for your next action.
That is the exact reaction I wanted from the five of you.
Wait, what?
Oh, I wait.
So do I stay?
Can I stay in double trigger mode?
You rolled high enough.
You may choose to drop out.
OK, I'm going to drop out while I still can.
You feel like you actually feel like you're wrestling against someone and then you're like,
no, this is my body.
And then you revert out of your semi trigger, but you feel like kind of exhausted.
You don't take a level of fatigue, but you feel mentally drained compared to like physically or emotionally.
Hang on.
But that's your turn.
We may be in trouble.
We got things.
I can't insanity roll this next.
Next up would be sharing with an eight of what?
Diamond eight of spades is up first because they're not all being looked at the deck normally.
One, two, three, four.
But that's literally all that could be done.
The rest of them are being stared at.
It's really unfortunate.
So then Vivian, you're up.
Oh, OK.
They can only move so far.
I'll explain the mechanics to you to you all after the session because I think this fight is actually really interesting.
I've kind of done it.
Am I no longer looking at this one because this one is in front of me?
A spirit roll.
OK.
We'll see.
Oh, unfortunate.
You are still locked eyes with that one.
But what did I know if something's in front of me?
It's the mechanic of the fight.
Trust me.
Whatever.
But OK.
Hear me out.
If I try to shoot at the one that I'm eyes locked on, wouldn't it hit the thing right in front of me?
Not necessarily, but you do also know though right now that their invulnerability is not up.
So if you shot at this one, it would damage it most likely.
So yeah, if I shoot at the one that I have locked eye, that's whatever.
OK.
Riker uses ability to end their invulnerability for a round at the cost of Reinhardt's life.
I'm sorry, what now?
Well, some of his life.
He took an unignorable wound.
No, I just think the mechanic's stupid if I can't see what's right in fucking in front of me.
It's the mechanic of the fight.
It's all right.
It's like stop looking at that one and look at the other one like I did.
Not having a mechanic is stupid just because it's a spirit roll.
It's the power of the demons.
It's like there's magic in the world.
It's like they have selective invisibility, kind of like the silent.
Those bitches.
Well, I'll shoot at that one, but I'll absolutely really going to shoot at this one.
You don't have to do that.
I took off the coding.
But you didn't take away the.
No, she failed the spirit roll Cody.
So she still has to shoot the one that she was looking at first.
Oh, OK.
That's the issue.
But let's say that she can see.
Yeah, I'm going to use my cult.
Use your cult.
You can still use the grenade launcher.
I'm not wasting that.
I'm kind of guaranteed that it fucking dies.
What?
I literally don't use my cult.
OK, go ahead.
And because you're using a pistol, you do not suffer the negatives of firing a weapon in close combat.
Go ahead and roll me a shooting roll.
So that is a hit and a raise.
Oh my god.
What are these?
That's right.
It's a.
I took off their arm.
Nine.
Maybe you see the bullet strike it and it shutters, but doesn't fully move.
Gotcha.
Is there anything else you'd like to do for your turn?
No, two guns, bitch.
OK, I will say though.
Can I can I can I can shoot with my other hand, but I would be at a negative.
But I would have to say that.
I will allow it this one time only because it's cool.
OK, sure.
But it has to be the grenade launcher because you already had that out.
Oh, no, it's fine.
That's my turn.
All right.
I have a six of clubs bill.
So if you're going before me, you're up.
OK, my cards are done.
OK, so all the rest of them are done.
Spirit roll.
Didn't work.
Three and three.
I got a two.
All right then.
You're up.
You can take your eyes off of your current one, but which one are you looking at?
I don't want to. I mean, I don't want to stay looking at this one.
I'm trying to.
Yeah, I'm trying to think what would be the smarter move here.
Not to be unconscious.
No, you I'm going to do I'm going to deal with one and two right here in a minute.
I look at Cody's character and all of a sudden you hear me go.
Kakerot.
I'm moving down to here.
Freeman, Romeo spirit roll.
Fuck, I'm going to feel you view Zander as an enemy.
Please give me an attack roll.
11 Zander, Perry six.
And that is a hit.
Please roll damage.
And back.
Wait, what's your Perry, my guy?
Six.
That's a raise.
Oh, God.
I dropped out.
I didn't have a choice.
Oh, man.
Unfortunately, Sammy trigger here gives you a shit ton of benefits.
Also a massive ton of negatives.
Listen, we weren't going to find you unless somebody did it.
Despite all my rage, I am still correct in the cage.
Okay, so taking your seven and six is a wounded shaken.
A wounded shaken is not too bad.
A wounded shaken is not too bad, especially because if you enter your semi trigger after that, you just ignore the shaken.
Oh.
Fuck that.
No.
What, not a fan of the semi trigger after what just happened?
Oh, no.
Zander's not a superman.
And he's like, nah, fuck that shit.
The semi trigger DX.
I'll take the wound and shaken.
I'll roll the shake, shake roll now.
What's that one you give a series called GX?
Fuck it.
You can still act.
So I got shook in mid turn.
Oh, I know you can select.
You would take the shake roll before the wound modifier would apply.
So it would be a four and you would still succeed.
Does that make sense?
Yeah.
That's all that's all it is right now.
Oh, that was it.
Oh, that was so close.
20 go fuck yourself.
I mean, you still got a hit and a raise.
This game is just taunting me today.
Hit and a raise on the on the statuette.
Go ahead and roll your bonus damage.
14.
And that kills.
The AP two doesn't matter when they're invulnerable.
When they're not invulnerable.
They don't actually have armor.
That's everybody.
So we're going to go ahead and deal.
But now the problem is they're back to being invulnerable.
That was exciting.
Oh, deal.
Shit.
Cool. I'm actually going to use that time to recall.
I recalled the card so they're not just like you're not overloaded with cards.
Oh, I thought you were in the deck.
Never mind.
Yes, sir.
Chuck it.
Jesus Christ.
Ryan.
Chuck it.
It's so annoying to have to do the one to zander.
I got to keep it.
Okay.
That's fine.
No, not another one.
I'm going to go with zander.
Okay, please give me the Joker.
All right.
And deal out the rest.
And I still got two batches of here.
I'm sorry.
I know I took out three of the low cards.
I'm sorry guys.
I did what I could.
No.
Fuck.
Jasper, what you guys can't see your card.
Will, do they get their layer back?
It depends on who is first.
Xander, I will take a notice check from you.
Oh, Xander, which one are you staring at now?
I guess this one.
Okay.
Right.
Oh God, I can barely see that, but it works.
Okay.
I had the worst situation happen.
Jane, which one are you looking at now?
I think you're muted.
Sorry.
I was having Damian bring up my commission work.
I have to have it.
I have to have them do something with it.
I guess this one.
Okey-dokey.
Yup.
Was hoping you weren't going to say that.
Why?
Basically, I can explain afterwards.
What?
The mechanic that they have to them.
This is a very mechanic.
The only one left.
The reason why I'm upset is they got a fucking Joker.
Oh, effectively, if all of a single color are being stared at.
So if you were staring at all four red ones or all four gray
ones, instead of whatever card they get, they get the lowest
possible card in that thing and matching that suit.
If I get a king of clubs and you're staring at all four
gray ones, they have a two of clubs instead.
So you got a red Joker and a black Joker.
Basically, you would get in this case, the two of clubs
or the two of diamonds.
I get the two of spades in this case.
So for this one, I get the best suit, but I get the worst
number still.
Ah, okay.
But they were still getting the benefits.
So if anybody stops staring at one of the gray ones when they
get to and they get to act, they will still get all the
benefits of the Joker.
It's a really, it's a really interesting mechanic.
I thought this was a lot of fun.
All right.
Who's up first?
Probably for even Lord, you're up.
They're currently invulnerable now.
Every single one's being stared at.
How much is a blind fighting?
What's the deduction?
Are you just closing your eyes and swinging?
It's minus six.
I mean, for me, it's minus two.
Wait, you have blind fighting as an edge?
No, no, because I have a plus four from that semi trigger.
So it's a grand total of minus six.
Oh, you are at a grand total of a plus one for blind fighting
because you are plus three normally for your fighting roles
and plus four for semi trigger currently.
So you can blind fight in or at a plus one.
Do you just shut your eyes and start swinging?
Wait, I'm plus one up blind fighting.
Okay.
Yes.
You're okay.
Yeah.
Accept it.
Love it.
Pop it.
Well, all right then.
11.
No, grand total of a nine.
Nine, right.
Wouldn't it be a 12 because it's a plus one?
No, so he gets plus three from his edges
and then plus four from the semi trigger currently.
So grand total plus seven.
So he should be at a 14.
However, he is minus six due to blind fighting
because he's just shutting his eyes and swinging.
So he's at a grand total of a nine.
It's hit and raise.
No, no, I'm sorry.
Just hit.
Plus semi trigger stuff.
Destroyed.
Jesus Christ.
What I missed.
Sorry.
He punch.
He shut his eyes and swung big and destroyed something.
I need a spirit check from you.
I just see from.
Wow.
No, Freeman, go ahead and roll me a D six.
Oh, no.
Who's he going to crack?
Oh, I got the four built also just real quick for honesty.
Shake.
Got a shake.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, okay.
Freeman, you suffer a full wound.
If you use it, Benny, there's no need to roll.
It is auto soaked.
I'll take that wound.
Oh, okay.
You take the wound.
Oh, but I then move towards this guy and use my other hand.
You have to look at him because it vulnerable.
Plus my crack.
I am going to say you're at a minus an additional minus three for this role though.
So you're at a grand total of minus two.
Is that fair?
Let's go.
The Lord.
So hold up.
He gets a 13 minus two is a lot of the fucking race.
God damn it.
Oh, my God.
He catches one break.
Riker is staring at him.
So he's currently invulnerable.
I just realized that looking at the dot on him.
Son of a bitch.
Oh, wait a minute.
Hold on.
What is it?
Rule doesn't count towards full demons.
You're not a full demon.
No, okay.
Next highest card is probably me with a 10 of diamonds.
Okay.
Queen of diamonds is up.
Wait.
So can I still make sure it's a trigger?
It.
No.
It's okay.
It's a ball.
It doesn't matter if it's a problem.
It doesn't matter right now.
We lost our DM.
Yeah, he'll be back.
All right.
I'm going to figure something out.
Ladies and gentlemen, I am quickly becoming a problem.
Yassink.
Huh.
I wonder.
Yeah, he's like, okay.
So here's my training thought when I was playing before Cody did what he did, which
wasn't.
Oh.
Silly hit the thing on my mouse.
I'm here.
I'm back.
I promise.
All right.
So all right.
We start that music track.
This is tricky because they're currently in vulnerable right now.
Just do what I would do.
I shoot, dude.
That's the problem.
I'm a ranged fighter.
Do you want to blind shoot at this one?
Fuck no.
You can also hold your turn and see when Riker goes.
So I was thinking it was a little cheesy because like, oh, I'm looking at him up.
I'm not making eye contact with him.
Look at the legs with that count technically.
Yes.
Yeah, I figured.
It's anywhere in there.
Yeah, it's basically it's anywhere you're looking at.
Any pieces that you see, it is just again, it's just like the Weeping Angels.
It's just like the SCP.
You make eye if you break eye contact with that, you're basically fucked.
So all right.
So what would you like to do?
You could shut your eyes and blind fire.
Fuck no.
Holding action.
Next highest card.
Seven of hearts.
I have a seven of hearts.
Seven of hearts.
You're up.
Would you like to act or would you like to wait for Riker?
I'm holding action for now.
Actually, you're staring at one, right?
Yes, you are looking at one.
I need a spear check from you.
I'm so sorry before you hold your action.
Give me a second.
My character sheets be douche.
Well, then.
Oh, he's very spirited.
Not high enough as I got a 16.
So you cannot take your eyes off of that one.
That's why I'm so.
I'm going to roll.
Okay.
So any spear check from you?
13.
You may look anywhere you'd like.
I'm going to Bob this motherfucker.
Are you going to?
Oh, he's.
I will give you a round of Ryan is looking at him.
Since you're looking at the rest of them, they're all currently invulnerable.
That's why your action is where I could go.
Oh, okay.
Well, then I'll.
You're going to hold your action.
Yeah.
Okay.
Up next.
It's three of diamonds, which is Cody and it's a spades.
I don't understand why they're invulnerable because we're all looking at.
The original one is being looked at.
If they are seen, they are invulnerable until Riker can remove their invulnerableness.
And that's if he chooses to do that.
If he chooses to do that.
I can do that one, but then.
Ripple.
Honey, you got to speak to your microphone, please.
Well, so since I passed the spirit, couldn't I see you in my peripherals and like go like bang bang.
I mean, like.
No, but Ryan is staring at it.
Oh, so I'm looking at that one.
But if you look away from that one, that one becomes in that one.
So you could do it the other way around.
You could stare at the one that's in front of you in combat and try to shoot at the one you were looking at previously.
Oh, it's a minus 10.
It's a minus six.
Right.
She can also fire a grenade launcher and just hope it doesn't go too far off target.
Yeah, right.
It's fine.
I've already been hit once.
I'll just hold my action then.
You'll hold your action.
Yeah.
Riker is going to move up.
He's going to make a combat roll.
He's going to hit in four raises.
Next character I'm going to fucking make in this.
I'm going to just make a guy that big ass, big beefy guy.
He doesn't hurt people, but he just grapples people and then fucking chucks them across the field.
He destroys that one.
You watch as his blade effortlessly shatters the one he swings at.
Greater demon bullshit.
Doesn't work on full demons.
Jesus Christ.
He got another one.
Yeah.
Could you imagine if it worked on full demons and we had spectators for this fight?
Yeah, no.
Oh, we'd be fine.
So the magical thing around them, you do actually have spectators.
There are humans and demons sitting in the seats.
The problem is the magic barrier that's up keeps them from keeps their eyesight from working on it.
He destroys this one too.
So we just get the one left.
Great.
Cody spirit roll.
You regain control.
Would you like to drop out of this out of this semi trigger?
Yep.
You drop out of it.
Right.
Hard returns back to normal.
Right.
Hard.
We're going to talk about what happens to you after the session because I'm going to tell you right now your body suffers massive repercussions.
The only thing I can tell you right now is I'm going to tell you this right now.
Add to your hindrances one armed.
Your arm is broken from the swing from Riker.
Oh, so he's Austin now.
Okay.
Oh, no, this is like it's like Devilman crybaby except that he doesn't maintain the healing factor.
Don't watch Devilman crybaby.
No, it is.
Who is next would be Julia for two of spades.
Wait, would you like to act?
This is just you have not acted yet.
You know what?
Yeah, there's only one body left.
Yeah, I'll try to shoot him.
Okay, would you like to blind shoot?
Because remember if you stare at him, he's invulnerable.
Yeah.
Okay.
Then I will take your sight off of him.
Go ahead and roll at a minus six.
But what are you shooting with?
I would not shoot the grenade launcher.
I'm not shooting the grenade launcher.
You're shooting the grenade launcher?
No, I'm not.
Here's the problem.
Blind firing is pretty inaccurate, but blind firing grenade launcher, you actually stand a chance to hit still.
Okay, okay, but I think doing the grenade launcher is pretty dang useless against one opponent.
She's got a minute.
He's the only opponent left.
I'm not wasting a shot on one person.
Hell no.
Take the cult.
Yeah, I'll do the cult.
Minus six to the shooting roll.
Okay.
And obviously, I thought somebody was going to ask it.
Thank God nobody did.
No, you cannot take the aim action in this.
It's a blind fire.
Would my lock-on ability technically help?
No, it's not.
Nine.
Three.
One on the shooting die.
One on the action die.
So auto miss.
Even with a nine, it would have missed either way.
Minus six.
Would you like to Benny it?
No.
Your minus would only be four because you get a plus two because of a line.
No, I don't want to Benny it because we might, are we going to fight things later?
Who knows?
I can't answer that question.
Not right now today.
You never answer that question.
Yeah, me.
All right.
Then I'm not.
I'm holding my action still.
Big fat zero.
Typical.
Balls are warm and a tender blind shot.
Okie dokie.
Minus six.
And no, your lock-on would not work.
No, I knew it wouldn't.
Missed.
Would you like to Benny?
No, because I would.
I have one.
It's funny.
If you entered semi-trigger, that would hit.
I'm not doing it.
Okay.
Who's next?
I think that's everyone.
Uh, wait, doesn't Jane, Julie have a two?
Yeah, Jane does have a two and it currently it had a two.
Jane, do you want a blind fire at it with a bow?
Yeah, she's got a fucking hit.
She is a second.
If anyone would.
I don't miss.
It now gets to take its turn.
Come at me, motherfucker.
I will eat you and then I'm going to kill you.
It's going to move here and it's going to attack Brother Reinhardt.
No, no, no.
Uh, no, it won't.
That one.
Okay.
Nice.
Alright.
New round.
Fuck it, I'm going to give you all a round before it goes.
Who wants to try to do something?
Me, because I have no choice.
Go ahead.
I have room in the actually he's not wrong.
You blind swing it.
Hey, yo.
Alright.
Fucking hit and raise.
11.
Plus four for the semi trigger.
Gone.
As for Freeman.
Yep.
Please take a spirit roll.
If there's ever a time you needed to explode.
Would you like to Benny?
This is round six.
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
You made a mistake.
Oh my Lord.
Would you like to Benny again?
There we go.
Thank you.
You regain control.
Some of us got to go to work tomorrow.
That's funny.
Come on.
Yeah.
Alrighty.
I'd like to drop out of semi trigger.
You do.
I'd like to drop out of this plane of existence.
So, um, Roligarth stands up and claps.
I did not expect tricks like that.
Well done.
The arena around you starts to fall and fade away.
And he steps off of his throne and he's massive.
He's about 11 to 13 feet tall.
It's tough to tell.
Thank you.
Freeman, you drop to one knee because this feels awful.
And we will talk about the hindrance you have after the session.
Alright, if you go six rounds you have a hindrance.
So, he hands to Vivian, because she's the one that's closest to all of you, from all
of you, from where his throne is up here.
He hands to Vivian this necklace.
What is this?
Give it to my master in the mortal realm.
It will allow him to move around better.
And who is y'all's master?
A demon by the name of Nine.
Son of a bitch.
Oh, we don't like him right now.
Let's call that coming.
But okay.
Also, if you prove yourself my master has informed me to offer our forces.
You have demonic assistance against the broker.
Also, I know where he is.
Well, you should have led with that.
He's at the Ohio State Reformatory.
Why is he there?
It's abandoned.
It's the cosmically worst place in the universe.
It's Ohio.
What do you want?
Sorry.
Don't worry.
He lifts his hand and a gate opens up.
The same purple and black energy you saw before you.
Here is your way out.
You have three days before the assault on him begins.
Gather your army.
Get your forces.
He still needs the held place.
That's why we came here.
The held place was told you to come here.
Is that what it is?
Yeah.
I thought we could get the held for the held.
Freeman's confused since he was...
Since he still hurts.
So, he opens up this gate.
This shall send you back from whence you came.
Cool. Can someone help us, Freeman?
I got him.
I only got one wound. I can take care of myself.
You're on your knees.
So, y'all, do you...
Does everybody go through the gate?
Absolutely.
Yeah.
Yes.
As you get through the gate, you know, you have people scanning you,
running tests, putting healing salves on you.
Vivian.
What's up?
The necklace pulses red in your hands.
Nope.
We love that.
You hear a voice in your head.
Uh-huh.
No.
Dammit.
Is this thing on? Can you hear me?
Hello?
Nothing. Testing.
Is that who I think it is?
It is.
It's Derek.
Derek?
He's back.
Where the heck are ya?
I'll send you my coordinates later.
I'll, um...
Don't worry.
There's something we have to talk about anyway.
Are you safe? Are you okay?
Yeah. Yeah. Don't worry.
We'll talk later.
Okay.
But, uh, I need that emulet that'll allow me to travel around without being detected by DMC.
Hmm.
Uh...
Do I tell him the scoop of what's happening or are we just talking later?
How do we know that we can trust him right now?
We helped nine.
He hates the broker.
Uh-huh.
Yeah, I don't think we have any...
The enemy of my enemy and all that stuff.
Yeah.
That'll... that Jack.
He also is grateful to us because we did free him.
Because if he... we didn't free Aikama.
Again, I would kill him.
I mean, don't we all?
Alrighty.
With you all back at DMC North America, Katie says,
I hope everybody's ready because this is it.
We're gonna get ready.
So you all need to contact Naomi, contact the DMC branch in Italy to make sure they're
gonna still lend you the supplies and, uh, contact anybody you would know.
This is it.
In three days, we take on the broker.
Oh, that's just great.
Hey, you want to hear the sound of one-hand clapping?
A door opens up at DMC North America where he's completely pitch black and a humanoid
figure walks in and says,
Well, well, well.
I'm off on your back.
Y'all should really learn how to change the fucking code on the door.
I taught you better.
And it walks Derek.
We're the one who said it to one, two, three, four.
What do you mean?
I literally left.
Learn to change the fucking codes.
Talk to our new commander.
Vivian.
Change it to four, three, two, one.
Give me the emulet, please.
Howdy, partner.
I throw it.
Winston cocks a shotgun and pushes it against the side of his head.
What?
No, I'm supposed to follow rules, Derek.
Yeah, I know.
Vivian, quick.
What?
Do you give him the emulet?
Yeah, she said she would.
Yeah, I throw it.
As soon as it touches his palm, he teleports.
You get a screen that has coordinates up on it to a location to an abandoned house.
And he says, Meet me here tomorrow, 3 p.m.
We'll have one last final chat.
All of us are just my just silo squad.
Gotcha.
And that is where we will end the session.
Thank you, everyone.
I really appreciate you all coming out, my players.
Thank you so much.
And I will say that for this mission, you will get three experience.
Should put up to 35.
What about the grade?
We've been playing with a cat though.
Your grade is an A very well done.
Yeah, yeah.
So with that, your next mission, Mission 17 is taking stock and kicking ass.
Thank you everyone for joining us for campaign may cry.
