Trash Planet contains themes of desperation and
poverty. We portray a comedic, absurd and violent
world. For a full list of content warnings, please
see the episode description. You see three people
in black flak armor. They are holding guns, they
are holding batons, they are ready to fucking
rumble, and you go, oh fuck, this is Johnny Law.
You see that the biggest one of them has like
a really, really small mask where it just goes
into the nostrils and it's like a tube into the
mouth so you can totally see his face. He walks
up real slow and he has a huge, um... He has
a brand on his face. It's wings. Like somebody
hit him with a brand that is all the way on the
side of his face. This is the Johnny Law faction
and there are three of them and now there are
four of you and three of them and one Jim Bob
Marz Capone on the floor. This guy's walking
up real slow. He actually like nods to you as
he walks. He's like, hey. Is he one of the three
or in addition to the three? He's one of the
three, yeah. He just says to you real slow, looks
over, bald guy, big brand on his face. Hey! Hello?
Lottie, he doesn't give a fuck about you. He
just walks right by. You see the two people with
him. They are not paying a lot of attention to
what's going on. You see that their weapons,
their eyes are pointed on Jim Bob. And you just
immediately are like, uh -oh, the game has changed.
Keeps walking. Is the action over there? Yep,
the action's over there. He's just walking real
slow. The two are up front, they moved Anya,
but he's just gonna continue. Where would you
like to send the action, Connie? Oh, God. I think
at the moment, Enla's the only one of us who's
safe and able to act. Yeah, Enla, what do you
do? Yeah, so Enla has just watched Tank and Connie
take down, or at least attempt to take down Jim
Bob, and then have watched... and narrowly avoid
Johnny Law hitting Connie in the head. Like,
oh, fuck. Like, we're in over our heads. Yeah,
real quick, does anyone have experience with
Johnny Law? So as soon as Enla sees the all -black
uniforms and the wings, she starts to panic.
Fuck, not a big Johnny. Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck.
Guys, we gotta get the fuck out of here. I think
we're in too deep now. Shit. Honey, you twist
over and you see a dude with, like, flak jacket,
big scary helmet, and a baseball bat, like, over
you. Like, you are kneeling on the ground, and
this guy is on top of you, and you and Tank are
on top of Jim Bob, and it's like, oh, shit. Yeah.
And look, what do you do? Fuck, I got rid of
these guys one time over in Pig Beach, but. So
I'm gonna try to get back on, get the high ground,
so I'm gonna try and get back up on the roof.
Okay, if I can so that's I know it's gonna most
likely be a role of some kind and was gonna cost
a flashback Okay, so guys what happens if we're
in like a crowded place when we get this guy
like I feel like we need to have a tactic so
I mean, I don't know I I met this magician the
other day like within my performance artist class
and He had this really cool like smoke bomb thing.
I'm thinking that might help. I don't know. I
just help us get away if we need to. Cause we're
not killing this guy. So we're gonna. Yeah. That
sounds so cool. Tank, please don't touch these.
Okay. They're really expensive. And I, I, I don't,
I, we only have like two of them. Okay. When
Enzo's not looking, I grab one. Fuck yeah. Okay,
if you want to use your flashback, also, we're
putting a real big fucking pin in endless performance
art plans. Are you kidding me? Okay, okay, that's
the whole next arc. Anyway, I would allow you
to not use a flashback because this isn't really
a complicated thing. It's just like, I thought
I'd bring smoke bombs, so I brought smoke bombs.
But I will say, if you were light load, and I'm
gonna say this is your whole load. Even though
Tank took one of them? Oh, okay. This is two
of your loads. Tank, this is one load for you.
Okay. Well, I used it immediately. Oh, it doesn't
exist? There's only one. There's only one. Yeah.
Okay. No, no, no. This happened in the screaming
slice and Petra is like chopping vegetables and
then the cameras just on her as smoke is like
rising in the building. Tank? What the heck?
Incredible, all right. And let you have one smoke
bomb, it costs you two load. Thank you. All right,
and we came up with some sort of exit phrase
for when we needed to bail, or try to bail, I
guess. So I throw down the smoke bomb and I say,
night pigs, night pigs! All right, now we have
another clock that exists. And it is at three
out of four ticks, and it is Johnny Law executes
Jim Bob Marscapone. Just FYI. Yeah, sorry, y
'all walked in on something crazy here. You know
what? I think what you're trying to do is escape,
right? Okay. That is the goal, yes. I'm gonna
say if you're successful on this, you will give
everyone here a bonus dice. Like, I don't know
that you're gonna fill out a clock right now,
but I think like... How about you roll for me
here, roll a touch, and then what you're doing
is like a setup for your buddies, right? Like
it's the smoke bomb, it's the getting a higher
vantage point. It's a one. Okay, they're gonna
execute Jim Bob unless you resist. Do you want
to resist? I mean, yes. Okay. I mean, that's
our target, one. And two, I don't want more violence.
I don't want more death. Death is no good. Okay.
So you see one of these little guys, I say little,
they're big, they're in flak armor, it's crazy.
You see one of them is leveling a gun down at
Jim Bob Mars Capone. He's on the ground, he's
face down on the ground. Connie, he smashes his
head to the side and he says, help me, help me,
help me. And the gun is pointing down at him.
What do you do, Emma? Or how do you resist this
situation? I don't know, roll your stress, right?
You're gonna resist with prowess. Sick. I wanna
say it to Tank. this is outside of my pay grade
so uh let's go and i flip this switch back on
okay all right is your intent here to like hurt
the two guys that are near you guys or this isn't
something that like can be really targeted, right?
Yeah, this is gonna hurt you and Connie and the
two guys that are on top of you. I'm gonna give
a heads up to Connie before I do it. Okay. Alright,
so I think that you guys would know the range
on this thing. You would have to duck and roll
to get out of its area, which would put you away
from Jim Bob. Is that the move? Maybe I would
McTwist away. Ooh! Yes, well you have the yeah,
I'll give you the bonus dice on that and then
also I think Enla gave you a bonus dice with
the smoke bomb So I would call that some kind
of physical thing. What do you want to argue
for here? I give it a touch or a fight maybe
okay Yeah, I'll do fight like a combat maneuver
cool situation. Okay, so I get two bonus dice.
Yep So the listeners at home he's levitating
is an impish grin That is a six. Fuck yeah. What's
it look like? Uh, there is a one though, so I
do encourage juice burn. Incredible. Yeah. When
you roll four dice, you know, you're bound to...
Okay, uh, Maddie, please roll for me 1d12. Oh,
sorry, yep. Oh, it goes to Maddie. I forgot.
It's Maddie's problem now. It's a three. It's
a three. Inflicting juice burns upon others.
Okay. You've rolled three, disfigurement. Something
visually crazy happens to your body. So this
can really be whatever you want it to be. And
then roll 1d6 for duration. Okay. And it should
be McTwist related, whatever you choose here.
Okay, so, okay, yeah. That's a five. That's a
five. Incredible. Okay. Oh, so you can think
about it if you want what happens. Yeah. Fielding
ideas here. Copper wire wishbone ball joint corkscrew.
Yeah, I mean you're gonna succeed here. This
is just deciding what your juice burn is. I think
in his arms all of the joints turned the other
way so his fingers bend this way, his hands bend
the wrong way, his elbows bend the wrong way.
That seems really punishing. Why did you have
to say that? You still have very mobile hands.
It's just all backwards. It just looks real bad
and probably hurts. It makes me feel so deeply
uncomfortable. Hey, so one of us here likes body
horror. I do not. We don't have to stick to that.
That was my pitch. What about just like his torso
is just twisted like a corkscrew. You know, that's
the static. The top half of you turns 90 degrees.
Nihar is all about body oil right now. It's a
screw. We could roll you another juice burn if
you don't want a body oil. It's also like, it's
called disfigurement. Let's roll another one.
Yeah. Cause disfigurement's hard. Let's do a
nine. You cannot be healed by conventional means
only by further juice usage. Oh, that's perfect.
Right? That plays in that's so brutal, okay Okay,
um, so what does it look like you deploy the
flash shield you get out of there on a six I'll
let you well, you didn't get a six. Never mind.
I'm gonna get a six. Oh, we did. Okay The one
was the juice like one of the other ones you
could get Connie out of there too If you want
on a perfect success, I'm gonna go for it. Yeah.
Okay. What does it look like? Just like I'm just
doing like back handsprings full on gymnast mode
and I'm gonna get to Connie and I guess I can't
do gymnast moves with Connie but you could do
the crazy thing of doing like a backflip grabbing
me with your feet it's like the pro wrestling
moves yeah yeah yeah like yeah between between
the calves incredible okay fling backwards Blast
Shield goes back up, the two Johnny Law people,
oh, like they flinch backwards. Cool move. Good
stuff. Where do you want to send the action?
I'll send it to Connie. I think I land okay,
right? Yeah, yeah. Sort of practice move. On
Tank's success, you just perfectly just like
flump to the ground just outside of the blast
radius. There's two cringing Johnny Law guys
near you, very close, and there's a third one
walking up confidently. What do you do? I think
first I want to maybe do two things here. I do
realize that they are Johnny Law and they are
scarier than that because my initial idea was
that, oh, they're other muggers and they're just
trying to, like, they have the same mark as us.
So I think I'm going to use an item that I have.
I'll use one load for a squaller, it's called,
and regular A -State, but for me it's a tape
recording of a prophet of the Jews from another
religious faction and it is it emits a horrible
loud cacophonous sound when it's activated. I
throw it into the the crowd towards the the Johnny
Laws trying to get them to be even more distracted.
Do you want to start a clock here of like defeat
Johnny Law? Like are we I think I'm trying to
make our escape even easier. Okay, okay, so we're
gonna call this, let's call it a six clock on
escape, right? So if you succeed, this would
be some ticks on the escape clock. So you have
endless plus one. You have a negative one because
these guys are like flacked, armored up and ready
to go. And it's a plus one from the item though,
so you get plus one to whatever you're gonna
roll anyway. What would you like to roll for
this? it sucks there's not really like intimidate
mechanics like i mean you're not really like
commanding them maybe i would accept like a sneak
or a i was thinking sneak yeah i think we are
trying to cause a lot of distractions and and
get their attention elsewhere so we can get away
okay so you have the gun clunky under your poncho
and you have the tape recorder in your pocket
and you go for the tape recorder that's cool
um we're gonna call this desperate standard actually
Desperate sounds right. Mm -hmm. That is a fail,
but I do level up my prowess with the desperate
roll. Okay. Sorry, we're checking in on clocks.
So we have one, we have a six clock called escape.
We have Johnny Law executes Jim Bob. Were they,
were they unaffected by the pull shield going
off? I don't think it caused harm on the first
round. I think it sustained contact, but like...
Yeah. Like, it knocked us back when Jim Bob activated
it. Okay. You know what? We're gonna start a
clock called Defeat Johnny Law and we're gonna
call that 6 o 'clock. So I think, yeah, unless
you resist, they are gonna shoot Jim Bob. Do
you want to resist? Yes. Okay. Yeah. Is it prowess
resistance? Yep. That's a 5. Nice. Where are
you at with stress? I was good earlier, so I'm
at 4 stress total now. okay cool so our escape
clock is still um i think enla probably gave
you one right um with the smoke bomb i don't
think i'd formally set up a clock yet but we
have a clock that is at one out of six right
now well and then i turned on the thing and i'll
give that another one so you're you're at two
out of six on escape was the only consequence
that they were gonna gonna shoot the guy well
i think actually um Okay, so the camera cuts
across to this big guy with the wing on his face
Turns to Lottie and he's like, what's your story
our story? What do you? There's a gunfight going
on over there. Those are your guys What are you?
Are you here? I don't have to tell you that Pulls
out big old Bowie knife just sort of has it just
looking at you hasn't moved forward yet there's
a consequence coming your way unless you would
like to resist he's gonna hurt you uh yeah i
think i want to resist the big bowie knife okay
all right um this is going to be a physical resist
so prowess three okay all right increase three
stress where are you at on stress i'll be at
five now five stress he has not made a move on
you it's neutral Where would you like to send
the action? This was kind of Connie's failure,
but Either one of you is welcome to send it somewhere.
I'm gonna make this this decision I want Lottie
to act because even yeah, there was something
I wanted to do with any turnaround I kind of
missed my window there, but he's got a big scary
knife and his two buddies are like not out But
they're like kind of dealing with Jim Bob's machine.
Yes. This is a rough spot for Lottie She's going
to reply to him. It's like, what are you pointing
that at me for? We're clearly after the same
guy. Nice. Nice. OK. Why don't you roll either
charm or command? What's the vibe here? I think
it's charm or persuade. Oh, charm or persuade.
Sorry. Yeah, yeah. If you'll allow charm. But
I feel like I'm trying to be trying to get him
to think I'm on his side, I guess. And this is
risky standard. Two twos. What a day for Natalie's
luck to fail us he Looks at you kind of smiles
and then he is going to stab you in the shoulder
So that is the consequence that is coming your
way. You have not ticked escape And you have
not ticked defeat. This was a failure. That was
a resistance role, right? Yeah. No, that was
an action. That was an action. Yeah. That was
me trying to charm him. Remember, y 'all can
always do flashbacks and stuff if you want to
set up things in the past. And we do have trust.
So if like you want to hop in to protect. Yes,
you can actually shuffle off your consequences
onto somebody else. Oh, yeah. What would happen
if I did that? One of us would get stabbed, is
what would happen. Yeah, but he's not near you.
It would happen in the universe. Honestly, Connie
has trust with Halbert. You can literally shuffle
off consequences onto Halbert and she will have
a bad day somewhere else. It's so funny to imagine
you're trying to avoid being stabbed to death
and Halbert is on a beach and is like, my mimosa.
I'm not doing so great on stress, so I don't
know if I should, but harm is also really bad.
I'm gonna take the harm because Lottie's not
that physical, so I think I can chance it. All
right, take a level one harm. Stabbed. You have
been stabbed. So the way that this works is...
It's when it's happening. It's like stupid like
I don't know if you guys have ever been mugged
or anything Like it is the moment of like well,
this isn't happening to me What it's happening
really slowly. Oh my god, huh? You know, like
it's that sense of just like oh like he's walking
forward. Oh the night Oh okay okay like you just
look down and you have been like slowly stabbed
and he is just maintaining close eye contact
with you and he just like looks at you like cocks
his head like he's like waiting to see what you're
gonna do now that you've been stabbed what am
i gonna do so obviously there's a streak of pain
um so i do hope that if that is at least heard
by my teammates um i think ladi's gonna realize
that she's in danger and just Very quickly like
try to hit a vile juice. Oh Okay, that'll be
the end of your turn. You were just Slapping
it down. We can pull on your next turn. Where
would you like to send the action? I want to
see what endless doing after the smoke bomb that
you're still up there, right? Yeah She popped
off, man. I think this is the time to decide
if you want to fill the defeat Johnny Law clock
or if you want to aim for the escape Johnny Law
clock because it's gonna be tough to do both.
Have we done anything to try and defeat them?
No. Inla's heavy in the escape the Johnny Law
category. She's had tangles with them in the
past and zero desire to do this again. She was
hunting in a place she wasn't supposed to be
hunting. Alright, so from Endless View on top
of the roof looking down on the scene, she's
just watched the shield reactivate, knocking
the little Johnnies over, and has watched Lottie
get stabbed. I used my one smoke bomb. I am just
trying to figure out the best way to get everybody
out of there safely. I don't give a shit about
Jim Bob anymore. So I'm going to take a flashback
to talk about our escape plan in case something
goes wrong. We zoom in on a beautiful cork board
covered with red yarn. Tank is wearing a visor.
Alright, so there's an alley near his house that
if we get caught in a pinch, we cut through the
alley and there's a sewer grate we can disappear
down to. Okay. Okay, and and and have the smoke
bombs. Um, so I can I can use that to kind of
as our cover, right? But I mean how what if we're
like all engaged in other what happens if you
guys are distracted? We're not together. So is
your flashback to create a sewer grate nearby
or like, I guess that's a question. Yeah, I don't
know. Yeah, I thought it was I thought it was
to create a plan to get escape. I think that
you can make something exist. I think you can
say, like, there is a grate where I want one
to be, you know? We need some way to disappear
really easily. Yeah. Okay, so we can just stop
with the sewer grate. So, Enla, you are creating
a sewer grate. Where is it? In relation to where
we are right now? So in terms of where the sewer
grate is in relation, based off the maps that
we had with Tank to our current position, it's
actually right underneath Connie. So we need
to make sure that we all kind of converge on
Connie. So the signal has been met. So Enla's
going to do her best to get to that super great
as fast as possible. Cool. OK. So I would roll
a sneak or a touch or a fight if you want her
to confront. But it sounds like sneak or touch
to me. Yeah. And try to get in position to get
out of there. Yeah, because I'm still on the
roof. So yeah, I'm gonna say touch just so that
I can get down off of the roof and get over to
the sewer. I'm gonna call this desperate standard
because you're going towards a fight. Well, you
know, it's a one. So that's that's a great reason.
That's a great way. This is absolutely crazy.
This has been the worst lock. You've rolled like
four ones today. You gave them to me. You've
given me these cursed dice. I think that one
of these little johnnies is going to swing the
baseball bat on you and you're going to take
harm from it unless you roll to resist. I would
like to resist getting harmed, yes. Okay, yeah.
So this is going to be Browess roll. Browess
resist. Still not great, but we'll work with
it. It's a two this time! We're rolling so bad
today. Except for when we're rolling really good.
I feel like I'm rolling really bad today. It's
beautiful. Where are you at with stress? I got
two. You just got four more. I just got four,
so six total. Yeah, okay. All right, so and let
you hop down. Life and easy and do a cool combat
role right into one of these dudes Like swings
the baseball bat right over your head cool dynamic
shot. We spent a lot of money. The stuntman was
injured, but it's okay He was injured in real
life. He's fine. We paid his insurance payout.
Where would you like to send the action, Enla?
Also, we tick no you did you know you rolled
a one you did not succeed Yeah, you're just sort
of in the fray. You're just like in the mix So,
I'm still harmed though, yes? No, you resisted.
It's just that I think you're in a worse position
now, I would say. Where would you like to send
the action? I want to send it to Connie. Connie,
you're still kind of on the ground, you're near
the blast shield, tank through you with his powerful
calves and thighs. I'm right by this sewage grate.
So, I think I'm gonna... Yeah, I'm gonna lift
it open, but, uh, it's time to even the playing
field. Uh, I pulled out the gun. And pointed
at them, and, oh gosh, what do I want to say?
Our fight's not with you, Johnny! Let us go!
Fuck yeah. Okay, so you're not actually rolling
for combat here. This is a, like, don't fuck
with me. Yeah. Like a command. Yeah. Command
or persuade, I think that's more command. There's
gonna be a bad gunfight here. None of us want
that to happen. Come on now. Okay, okay. We're
gonna call it desperate standard. Do I get a
plus one because I'm pulling out a gun? Actually,
oh you're right. It should be desperate limited
because reward is lowered when there's a gun
in play. Oh my god. So you made it work. You
just brought a gun to a gunfight and now it's
worse. So good job root lawyering. Unless you
wanted to go bigger, which you could push yourself,
take stress. Did you ever use your plus one from
the smoke bomb? I think I did. I think the only
person, the only people who still have it are
Enla and Lonnie. Yeah. I think I'm 100 % gonna
push myself. Yeah, you gotta. Yeah, pushing myself,
too stressed to take another dice. Thank God.
That is a six. The other was a one. Yeah, that
could have been so bad. Okay, damn, perfect success.
Okay, so your goal was to get everyone to freeze,
right? Yeah, I want them to stop moving and reconsider
their actions and let my team scramble out of
there. Okay, all right, so are we... With your
success, I'm gonna let you take two on escape,
if you want. Okay, so everyone you pull out the
gun. I think you do the cool guy one -handed
rack like the You know Looks good. It looks great
You're you know, your juice burn is shining in
the twilight. You're like fuck. Yeah. All right
looks good You see the big guy turn away from
Lottie. He leaves the knife in your shoulder
Like he doesn't even pull it out. He just like
let's it go looks over Cox's head Pulls up one
fist and everyone stills. Jim Bob coughs and
he stands up. He's wobbly on his feet. His shield
is still going. You are ticking two on escape
Johnny Law. So now we are at four out of six,
I believe. Fraught situation, cool move. Where
do you want to send the action? Tank. Yeah, so
Tank tried to help Jim Bob the best he could,
but like at this point it's either Escape or
defeat Johnny law like we can't save Jim Bob
without Killing these three Johnny law people.
So these three Johnny's So I think Tank is gonna
make a break for the the sewer great like there's
not much else he can do. Okay Would you consider
this a touch roll to like, lively flip and flop
your way? Just had a terrible image of you sliding
like a greasy hot dog just to like... I mean,
there is. One of the verbs of the McTwist is
sliding. Okay. So yeah, I will slide on the ground.
You just hit the deck like a fucking penguin
and just... Please give me a roll with your plus
one for the juice and it's gonna be a touch roll.
All right. We're gonna call this risky standard
also. Touch is such a weird description for like
dexterity. Yeah. When it's... It's like this.
Yeah. Yeah. I touch the ground with my body when
I slide like a penguin. Yeah. That's a six. Perfect.
Okay. So like a putt on a putting green just
right into the hole. Okay, I think on this second,
on a sixth, something, you get a little something
extra, which is you're still up close with Jim
Bob. And I think with your perfect success earlier,
the concussive shield is still going off and
it's not really affecting you. Like the fire
inside you was hotter than the fire around you.
And so you're close enough to Jim Bob that you
feel his hand moving in your clothes and he...
put something in your pocket that's what happens
and then you are away and so you just um we are
gonna tick one on escape johnny law i think if
you want you can be out you can be fully in the
great like on a six you can choose whether you
want to just you know i think when you go down
you're gonna be down you're not gonna be like
oh i pop back up you know it's like uh it's like
a not like at a ladder down it's like a shoot
this is a drop yeah for sure okay so with a six
you can choose if you want to drop or not or
you can just be like positioned at the the spot
i don't want to abandon everyone but someone's
got to be the first one to go down i'll say uh
just out loud seeing you abandon jimbob like
it's sort of telling to all of us like he's a
lost cause we're out of here yeah yeah yeah i'm
i'm just gonna go in If it wasn't the Lost Cause,
it would be once we realized that Tank's not
helping anymore. Alright, I think you just right
down the hole. Hit pretty hard. You're McTwisting,
so it's cool. You get cool three point landing,
Black Widow style. Where do you send the action?
I'll send it to Lottie. Alright, Lottie. Knife
in your shoulder. Big guy's not looking at you
anymore, though. What do their masks look like?
I think the other two, big guy has like the little
nose mask, but I completely forgot that was a
dune thing, whatever. Like hoses and stuff? Um,
the other two have full on like, you know, like
a SWAT uniform or it's like a helmet and a thing
on it. So they're pretty self -contained like
head units. Okay. I think I know what I want
to do. Cause these, he's kind of like between
me and them. I have to get past him somehow,
but his back's turned. So I kind of want to go
for his... Like, I have a big knife now. I don't
want to go for those tubes in his mask and stuff.
Kind of like, cripple him on my way past him.
Also, I hit the juice when he stabs me, so I
still need that. Yup, okay. So you're gonna get
your plus one. Fourth of meat, houndstooth. The
verbs are running, relaxing, and interweaving.
And the grist is a ratchet wrench, intercourse,
subway tile, and gloves. This rules. The juice
deck always fucking hits. The juice deck, baby.
The juice deck. We love it. OK. So you're going
to get a plus one, and please use the juice as
you see fit. I think that you see he's got that
little tubing. and it goes all the way around
the back of his head. Would this be like touch?
I would accept touch. I would accept touch or
fight and on a success, I would let you like
hit him and then run for it. You know, so whatever
you want to go for. Those are both the same.
So it doesn't really matter. I also want to use
my bonus from Enla. OK, absolutely. So I think
I have it would be to take the lower and I think
it's to take the higher because I have juice
and Enla. Cool. Yeah. Five five. Okay. All right.
What does it look like when this works as soon
as like he turns? That's when like the effect
of the juice starts hit and lot is just kind
of like thrumming a little bit like like if you
look at her She's like a little bit hazy. She's
like shaky and she kind of just like yanks the
knife that she got stabbed with out of her like
and As she like runs past him She just kind of
like does a quick flick of it across those tubes
and says enjoy the glitter and then keeps running
past Oh, okay. I think that you inflict a level
one harm on him and he doubles over, he's coughing
immediately and you just scoot past. Are you
gonna just head for the hole you're going all
the way? Yeah, if I'm allowed. Okay. Okay, I'm
gonna say that your consequence will be that
you just fall down a fucking hole and take one
level of damage on the bottom. So unless you
wanna resist. I already have one harm. I should
probably resist that. Okay, fair. this is prowess
resist it's not great i think i just got traumatized
yeah can i share some of that oh you can it's
um it's gonna be some of that yeah five is it
because i have one total i can take two I can
take three and be okay. Okay. Oh my god. This
is really beautiful because what happens is that
Tank has his cool three -point landing and then
Lottie lands on it. As if you've done it a hundred
times. Incredible. Okay. Perfect. We're uh, what
do you say to each other? You just landed Tank's
arms. Actually, no, it probably is just like
bowl me over, right? Because we both - Take some
trauma. Yeah, I feel like. Well, you don't take
the trauma, but yeah, I mean, you don't take
the stress. You take the stress of having your
cool landing completely ruined by me. Incredible.
Like for the camera, not even a second passes.
Three point landing. Bam! It's like you do a
pro wrestling back breaker on it. We're both
just both like groaning in pain, like picking
ourselves up off the ground. All right. Where
would you like to send the action? Probably Emma.
Okay, I am still out haven't gone down yet. My
thought is that I will be the last one just because
I like to make sure everybody's okay before I
go down. So, but my goal is to grab something
from the Johnny Law, some piece of their armor
to use as part of my armor. So I'm going to the
closest one, I want to use touch to try to Snap
some piece of metal or off of their uniform before
I run down and hide inside the ground scrounge
Closest to you is baseball bat guy. All right,
give me baseball bat You're gonna get a negative
one because he has a baseball bat on you, but
I'm gonna use my extra dice Incredible have to
accomplish this beautiful. Okay, I got three
Um, you're going to get a harm unless you resist.
Can you feel that or no? I won't resist this.
Okay. Yeah. Okay. So you reach out you see like
so tantalizing there's like this little shoulder
pauldron on this guy and it looks like you could
just unclip it and then you would have it and
it would be yours and what happens instead is
that you are bonked with a baseball hat it wasn't
like a full force baseball swing but it's oh
like knocks you pretty good you're gonna take
a level one harm that is going to be bonked he
just has it on his shoulder and he like Turns
and just accidentally smacks in the face Incredible.
Okay. Yep. You got a harm status effect bonked.
Where would you like to send the action? Connie
you're holding a gun The bald guy is looking
at you head cocked and let's just been lightly
bonked. Your friends are disappearing down a
hole What do you do Jim Bob looks at you with
panic in his eyes? That sits with you. You're
like When I leave, he will die. Yeah. I think
we make eye contact, and I look at him regretfully.
I gotta save my own people. I try to get us both
down the grate, and maybe look for a way to lock
the grate in place so we can't be followed. At
the same time, the gesture of looking at Jim
Bob, I'm sort of showing Johnny Law, like, we
don't want to fight you. So what do you want
to roll? I will accept pretty much damn near
anything for this like it doesn't have to be
touch What do you want to roll to get Enla out
of there? Okay, so my thinking is getting Enla
out and and sealing our exit I kind of want to
do a group action. Oh, okay, but I don't know
with who And I imagine this is a thing we also
planned, but we don't need to flashback. It's
just part of the escape plan, part of the previously
discussed escape plan. So I'll open it up to
the group for like blocking off our escape. Do
we like destroy something? Do we just like seal
the grate? Do we? What do we do? Do we set up
a trap at the bottom? I like that one. Oh, that's
cool. Yeah. Up for debate. But maybe we put some
type of flora or on the bottom that like if anybody
touches it or like fall like there's like a big
loud noise or some sort of explosion. What about
like if there is like a big door? Like a lockable
door? Yeah, like slides over to block for like...
Like diverting? Yeah. Oh. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. I
think that's going to have to be a flashback.
Like that's going to cost you something for that
to exist, you know. So, building upon the previous
flashback, I think a couple of us, whoever wants
to be in the scene, scout out these tunnels and
we discover a way to do this thing. Can we do
a group flashback rule? I'll take the stress
for the flashback. Yeah, sure. Why not? Yeah.
Fine. Sure. Ooh, yes. Okay. And, Ella, I think
you have a bonus on that. You have a plus one
when you're in new territory. Yes, I do. Oh,
hell yeah. I would accept that for sure. Okay,
who's on the scouting expedition? I am, for sure.
We're basically just building on the previous
flashbacks, scouting out the sewage tunnels.
Okay, so you're taking the stress for the flashback
and for the group action? Mm -hmm. Okay. I'm
not gonna be there. I am not. I think you guys
are max, right? I have one find. I can't take
stress, but I don't think I would, right? You
wouldn't take stress. It would all be me. Sure.
Yeah, why not? In the middle of all this carnage
and chaos, we just flash back to a happier night,
the night previous, when y 'all were just bumping
around and just having a great time in the fucking
tunnels. You see a fox finger just... They make
like little yips. They're like a little bit bioluminescent.
It's running down a tunnel in front of you. Lottie,
it's really beautiful. It's nice. Would you say
it's green capped? I would, in fact, accept green.
Oh, I mean, there's still a little green here.
Fuck it. Yeah. Cool. There's stuff growing in
the sewers. Yeah, this is great. I think that
means we got a plus one, doesn't it? Hell yeah.
OK. Another plus one? Mm -hmm. Give me this big
juicy roll. Why not? OK. So I think just to set
the scene a little bit, while we're walking down
there. Because this was the time before when
we just thought this was a quick little like
grab him by the collar shake him down and leave
Like I don't even know why we need to plan this
much. I mean Escape routes and everything like
I get that the middle chips are a little more
dangerous But we're also dealing with a federal
like a person who works for hell like a federal
like That just makes me nervous Hopefully his
bodyguards will just want to protect him and
not try to chase down any assassins his bodyguards
I assume he has a couple. See, this is why we
plan. Give me that roll. Oh my god, guys. I got
a crit. That's a crit. We crit with our perk.
Awesome. Yes! Okay, how would you like to spend
your crit? Okay, so we are looking for an exit
like while having these discussions. Again, thinking
that this is going to be a fun little outing.
Not a fun little outing, because I did buy a
gun for this, but thinking this is going to be
an easy job. And we come across just a little
bit away from discovering this big sewage grate.
There is a giant lever on the wall that when
we pull it, it moves like a floodgate pretty
much. It makes it impossible. It can only be
controlled from the opposite side so that it
completely blocks off the path. You'd have to
find another sewer grate to get down to where
we are. Perfect. Okay. So all of you, well, you're
grabbing Enla. Like, what does it look like when
you get out of this situation? Yeah. I think
it is, again, very fraught, very tense. Like,
my hand is shaking with my gun, even though I
don't try not to make that very known. And just,
like, do the, like, standoff thing of just, like,
sort of helping her up a little bit. And then,
like, just walking back and then... And so the
two of you Slam down into the hole. I'm not gonna
make you take harm on impact Like it was a perfect
crit you hit the lever and then you are running
you are running your feet are splashing It smells
so bad. You have masks on you are hurting a lot
of your shoulder is bleeding Overhead you hear
impacts you're crying out you hear one gunshot
and you are running and you are still running
and you are sweat in your eyes, blood in your
ears, sprinting into the dark. You're listening
