Welcome to Roll for Heresy. Last time our group
of misfits collected their meager provisions
allotted to them by Strahl's military command
and made their way to the outpost at the edge
of the jungle. While gathering information about
the surroundings from the soldier stationed there,
they were interrupted by a roar from the jungle.
You hear in the distance a guttural roar from
the depths of the jungle. Followed by the rustling
of leaves and the snapping of branches. The soul
that you can see in the tent, some soldiers,
they freeze. Their eyes are scanning outside
in the treeline. And without warning, the jungle
erupts in the chaos. Yay. All right, we're going
to have a surprise combat. We're going to die.
We'll confess I have forgotten almost everything
about combat in the last month. We're just going
to go. Yeah, I mean, let's just do it. Yeah,
we got the book. You'll be okay. We got the ball
Yeah, we got the book. We got chat who's just
gonna shoot everything on his round. We'll be
good Has anybody taken his shackles off by the
way, or is he gonna be? Let's put shackles. All
right, I'm gonna fix that All right, so let me
do the comment do the combat let me get all you
guys in there Combat. There's a war on. And we've
chained the Hobbit to the ground. Quick, everyone
run away. Legally distinct Hobbit. That's right.
The Squats. Wait. Rattling. The Rattling. Squats
are the Votan now. No, the Squats are the Squats,
the Votan to the Votan. The Squats got squatted.
Quote unquote. Okay, I'm gonna say I'm not gonna
play 45 soldiers rushing out to the edges, but
you do the guys are gonna. Yeah, you guys are
gonna engage One group and the other guys are
gonna engage the other group. That's valid That's
valid we have our we have our sector you can
always add more once we kill these last ones
I'm assuming they're basically paper, so we'll
breathe on them and they'll die and show how
weak the catatron jungle fighters really are
compared to when compared to a scribe All right,
so I'll kind of leave everything where it is
you know you've got ah you know I'm not going
to Put the NPCs in the combat Tracker, but I'll
have them engage some of the guys and I'll move
them as I see fit while you guys are thinking
They'll like go at the same time as you in the
background Makes sense to me. All right, so Let
me know I will let you guys go first. No, I will
actually I will I will go first but because it's
kind of like a surprise but The first guy attacks
the guardsman at the front gate. And they engage
in combat. Suck it, guardsman number zero. That
is this guy. Oh, let me begin combat. Yes. Let
me click the begin combat button. Never. So that
guy goes and then it's... Alright. One of you
three may begin to go. Can I go first? Yeah,
go ahead. Go for it. I activated you. Oh good,
good, good, good. All right, what I will do?
Yeah, I am going to just take my pistol and I
am going to shoot the shackles between Chet's
legs just to sever them. That's my that's my
goal is to free the catachan fighter cuz squigs
would prefer not to be We have if we have a catachan
fighter We'll say it's just like some Like a
what I'll do to make it easy is I will I believe
hang on Let me look up like very cheap armor
and see like what kind well You'd have to bypass
it and we'll give it like one wound and if you
shoot it and bypass the armor then Make sense
to me. Yeah, so I'll give it a resilience of
four. All right and I'm so wound. Okay, and I'm
going to aim Okay, so I'll get a plus one to
my die Attack so because I also don't want to
blow chest foot off. I feel like that would be
bad right So I will and just shoot this right
off So we don't have to fumble with keys. All
right, give me the shot. All right those successes
Okay Can't move make one bonus die. Hey, all
right Let's see how we do One success only need
one one six that only need one roll for damage
and See if you can beat the resilience. All right
I'm pretty sure you can probably do it. I mean,
it's seven damage with Yeah, I want to eat though
you it does. Yeah, so you shoot it not the best
accuracy like you're kind of nervous and like
you clip one of the chains near his ankle and
it melts and falls away and so now Chet you are
free to run around but you still have the ankle
locks on and the chain is still on your right
foot we'll say okay But yeah, that would that
would be my entire turn would be just aiming
to shoot that off so that way Okay, you know
Chet will say instead of moving at like less
than half speed you're now at full speed. Well,
that's great There we go that would be That would
be my action is just to immediately shoot his
shackle off since we didn't unshackle him yet
That's the end of my turn. Okay. One of the other
beasts go and they engage the other soldier at
the gate and begin scratching him and like...
So I guess let me describe these kind of look
like feathered cats. So it's kind of like if
a jaguar had feathers and Yeah, and they are
sitting low to the ground and they move very
quickly and You can tell that they like they're
like jumping on the victims scratching their
face and There I would say they're about four
feet long two feet high That's that's a mess.
I'm against all of that Well since I went you
get to run a creature unless we steal the attributes
If you want to you could probably just set all
the soldiers as one One combatant To just run
them all. Yeah Yeah, that's true I will just
pick The sergeant here. Mm -hmm, and I will make
him a combatant and When he goes all the soldiers
go works for me just to make it easier for you
So you're not like did I move that one? Did I
move this one? They all have yeah same time Okay,
um All right, so I'm just gonna say one of them
begins to just double moves into the base and
that's that's its turn so All right, if nobody
binds I'll go next if he moved right there I
think he's sprinting Okay, now we all we all
get to learn I Get the he sprints. So I think
that's Double movement or it might be triple
movement We'll say it's triple and I'll move
them right there. Oh You you go whoever's going
go and then I'll I'll adjust them Okay, cuz I
want to shoot that guy cuz he's not in melee
with anyone else. So I don't get a penalty We're
shooting at him, right? Right. Okay. Yeah, he's
the guy who just sprinted in all right. Can I
poke my gun out a window and Shoot him from here
It's a tent flap, right? Actually, it is a tent
flap. So you can Pull it back and I will aim
at him. Yeah So because I'm aiming I have dead
shot Which means that I can aim then take a cold
shot and it will double the bonus ED I receive
Alright, so nothing on them looks particularly
weak. So I think I'm just gonna try to shoot
his leg to slow him down If nobody minds so because
I'm aiming I get a plus one to the attack roll
and then if I hit him I will get one extra ED
for The called shot on the leg, but I will also
get double that because I have the dead shot
ability and I think because I'm called shotting
it get a penalty of one to the attack roll or
the DN gets a penalty so what's like a higher
number to hit by okay all right so I'm gonna
click the last gun what's the DN to shoot him
Kevin one okay so it would normally be one it's
now two because I'm trying to shoot his leg Alright,
I have a dice pool of six because that's my ballistics.
It now becomes seven because I'm aiming. I have
a wrath of one of the public roll. The damage
will be seven and the ED instead of being one
is now... Oh, that's right. It's one because
I have... He's in short range and I have rapid
fire one. So that means I get one extra ED because
he's within 12. squares of me I guess I don't
know if that's 12 yeah it must be 12 squares
yeah each square is just one okay so since he's
within my short range and I have rapid fire one
that means my ED from that is one then my ED
goes up two more because of the called shot and
my dead shot features so now I have three ED
seven damage because it's a last gun and I think
that's everything let's give it a shot okay Now
I can shift right because I have yeah four successes
and I read so I knew you have a six you have
a You needed two successes All right four successes,
but one of those success is a six which counts
as two So when you shift that one die, you'll
go down to two success, which that's play. Okay,
nice so then I'll shift it to damage I suppose
because Let's just kill this guy as fast as possible
All right, let's let's just say the glory and
ruin count is Accurate you guys have three glory.
I have to ruin so Nice if you want to use a glory
die you can as well. Excellent, then I will roll
for damage Eight okay Yeah, let me Target my
guy Apply the damage Roll and he took Two shock
and two wounds so all right, but he's still standing
That was the best I can do and I think I can't
move so I'm just going to click and I cannot
end my turn. Oh I started it and then I entered
There you go. Nice. Oh, there's the unturned
button. I saw it too late. Oh, yeah. I forgot
to click start for your turn, so. Yeah. I'm going
to send the next one in as they continue to sprint
and zigzag around the little like makeshift barrier,
the labyrinth barrier they made now. Walton,
you're up. I'm sorry. Okay. Chet, you're up.
Chet is going to drop prone and stick his rifle
in between Squeak's legs and he's going to take
a shot at this guy that's fighting with the guard.
Okay. He's going to aim, which will give him
plus one, maybe I think? Yep. And so, you said
the DN is 1? Yes. And then, so that's an idea
of 2. Now roll. 6 successes and 2 failures. Ho
ho ho! You get 2 shifts. Awesome. Can I shift
in this, or is that something you have to do?
Yeah, you click the die, that's 6. And then I
believe you right click after you click to highlight
them and you can shift them. Shift plus damage,
shift plus glory. Yeah, so you can shift to get
another glory, increase our glory points or...
Well, let's do some damage. However you're feeling.
Yeah, damage. Roll that damage to see what we
do. Nine damage. Yeah, all right. Squigs, don't
don't don't move. Yeah, I appreciate you checking
with me. You got it. As his rifle barrel is sticking
to your legs. It looks down like, OK, well, this
is this is how this is going. And then that will
be it for him. That's it for Chet. Oh Sorry,
I also have to get used to so can you click if
you click and turn now? Okay All right, I will
have the next beast go and then I will have the
soldiers go Okay, so let's try to see what they'll
do i'm just gonna do a few rolls and kind of
determine what they're gonna do okay this one
is dead and these two will shoot as well they're
gonna shoot at the one surrounding their friend
so they shooting into melee they're shooting
into melee but they're seasoned i'm sure they
are cats think they're delicious I will shoot
yep Shoot again, so This one Now this one And
then well yeah one more soldier the the other
thing you can do is just Be descriptive with
what they're doing as you're going through it
Know you're thinking right now like figuring
that out. Yeah learning the system. This is we're
still learning so So I'll say the first when
the first soldier acts he pulls out his combat
knife Chet severely wounded The beast in front
of him and he stabs it clean kill. It's dead
He turns around sees the other two behind him
and gets ready to fire The two veteran Soldiers
run out of their tent, see the two beasts attacking
the soldier closest to them. They both take aim
and fire at different ones, both severely injuring
them. And then the soldier, seeing that he had
help, pulls out his knife and kills the one in
front of him as well, but is still engaged with
the one behind him. So that is the action of
all the soldiers. So you see that two of the...
Beasts have fallen, and the two are severely
injured, and two are fresh. The final one runs
in. Oh goody, something to kill. Alright, we
go to the next round of combat. Sounds good.
Top of the round. I will use a Ruin, and I will
interrupt you. Oh no, alright. Oh no! So much
for me going first, you monster! That is right!
the one right here going to walk right up into
the tent and it's going to start attacking the
first person he sees a francisco no one delicious
francisco oops not the face so you see he's got
like a like rows of teeth like more than one
and just like claws for days and it's coming
right for your face for days Okay, so now I have
to remember how to hit you guys So Pretty sure
it's also DN one, right? Yep, whatever our defense
score is. Yeah, you have a defensive one I do.
I don't know what Francisco's got. Yeah, I can
see everyone. I also have a defensive one. Yeah.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure most things are gonna have
a defensive one right now. Because my flat armor
increases my resilience. Yeah, so yeah. So yeah,
it might not be able to hurt you if it does damage.
So I'm gonna roll against you. Oh. Failed on
the Wrath Complication die. Oh shit. It succeeded.
But we'll see what happens roll well cuz it's
just it's out of ammo Yeah, so we'll say that
just fall out just black We'll say that it like
it goes to scratch you like it jumps and it rolls
for damage It does six damage, but I don't think
that gets three resilience No, this is a flat
seven Right, so you're fine. Yeah, it has no
ED on that. Oh, uh It cannot shift or anything.
Okay. I wasn't sure sometimes they have like
ED for stuff. So oh You're right you go say ED
but you're good I'm not trying to like derail
you that's all so no, no, you're right. Um So
we'll say that that one specifically, as it scratches
you, its claws skitter off your armor and then
plunge into the tent and it kind of gets tangled
and it can't really do anything else. That's
that's it being out of ammo, its hand gets stuck.
OK. And then it has the inflict trait. Oh, well,
it didn't damage. Yes, it didn't. It didn't damage
you. But I guess you're not supposed to know.
But you know now that they're poisonous. I mean.
Yeah, we would've figured it out. We can still
figure it out. Yeah. It'll be a surprise. Surprise!
Alright. Um, that's its turn. I interrupted you,
you may go now. Alright. I will go. If you guys
don't mind? Yeah, probably. Alright, I will.
Please move me to the top. Awesome. You are active.
Good. Alright. Welp. I, um... I am going to shoot.
Because I have a pistol. Yes. You may shoot into
melee. I am going to shoot into melee. So...
Right the way it works. It'll be, uh... I will
shoot and then... I will move. I believe that's
how combat works here. Also forgot all the rules
for combat even after we did our test combat.
So first let's get this shot down. Pistol, they're
close, so it's at point -blank range. Engaged
in close combat. Oh, there's a plus two DN penalty.
Don't get a bonus for short range. All right,
but I am just going to shoot this thing anyway,
so that's gonna make it a dn3 target Go for it.
Okay? D Aha, I approve cuz I'm in my God I needed
it. Yep Damn Nine damage as I just Put this thing
to its face and pull the trigger. And then I
am actually going to move out of the way here.
Boom. Nice. You can see it attempts to swipe
at you, but it's stuck so it can't reach you.
You see me just kind of go, ah! As it close past
me like, oh shit! And it's like, ah! Bad. Whatever
you are nightmare creatures it starts gnawing
at the at its paw like at its claw And try to
like you could see it like the tent ripping as
it's freeing itself. Oh God, that's horrific.
Okay. I've completed my turn. All right Nice
now do we get to go because they tried to wrath
ruin stealing? Nope, it goes back to normal,
but we can spend a glory. We probably should
spend a glory. I think I would like to spend
a glory of no one minds to go next. Yeah, go
ahead. All right. You can always get them back
instead of shifting to damage. All right. I subtracted
a glory. Bad kitty. I will activate you. Nice.
All right. So I'm going to run away from this
guy as well. Now, if I tried to run up north.
Can't run through his square, right? I'd have
to go around and then this guy would I'd provoke
an attack of opportunity from this guy over here
then Yeah, okay, so I need to go down Mm -hmm.
All right, so oops. Oops All the buttons are
yeah, you're on the things the token controls,
okay So I get six squares of movement Is that
what your character sees them I have no idea.
Yeah, so that was one, two, three, four, five.
Yeah, I don't want you to just get dead, so I'll
just stand next to you. Well, no, I'll shoot.
Sorry. Sorry, Squigs. Don't worry. I'll finish
him off for us. But I'll also... So this is the
worst part. This is... How bad, uh, Francisco
is, uh, to his dear friends, but nice to scably
strangers. Uh, since I don't want him to run
into the med tent and just start tearing up all
the wounded soldiers, I'll just start, like,
shouting and be like, whoop, aah, aah, aah! And
I'm also just, uh, shouting one to just, uh,
to taunt them, but also shouting because I'm
terrified now. Uh... But... Alright. So now,
yeah, absolutely. Now I'm definitely going to
target him by clicking the target button. So
now when I click Lazgun, the DN1 is already filled
in. Oh, yes. Yeah, I had to target him first
because that automatically puts the DN instead
of me having to do it. Yeah, there's a toggle
targetable state in the options. Yeah, use that.
And it automatically fills in my ED, which is
both reliable and close range. I am NOT going
to aim because I moved, I'm not going to cult
shot because there's not really any reason to,
but I'm just gonna try to kill this one that
we've wounded and got stuck in the tent flap.
Let's see what happens. There you go. Alright,
and I can shift this guy to our glory to restore
it. Wait, that's... What's the die I can shift?
Oh, there's... Nope. The six. Alright, select...
Okay. Sorry, something's happening. Okay. So
if you left -click the die, it highlights it.
Oh, it went down beneath the thing, so I will
shift it to glory. Nice. There you go, your glory
auto -populated, so that's good. Excellent. And
then I'll just roll the damage. Seven. Good.
I believe this will just kill it. Haha, hey That
frees up chat to type something else in the face
Yep, so you can see as you you run past it it
begins to also like try to bite you because its
hand is stuck and it can't so it continues to
bite at the tent and then You said you start
screaming to get out to get its attention you
blast it it dies And it's like hanging from the
tent as its claw is still stuck in it nice Oh,
and then let me click and turn. Nothing happened.
Hit that down. There you go. Oh, I got it. Thank
you. All right. My turn, since you interrupted.
We can only steal. We can't just continuously
steal. Yeah, you can only steal once per round.
That's hilarious. Or once in a row, like if there
were enough of us, we could steal again. I guess
that's true, yes, once in a row. But there's
only three of us, so we can't just box you out
for playing. I will have my beast here attack
this soldier here. So the soldier in the front,
he's got one dead body in front of him, two beasts
attacking him. Oh my gosh, I'm wrong. There are
so many complications. Yay! Yeah, I think that.
Alright. He's also just gonna be I'll say this
complication. He's not gonna break away from
combat He's just gonna be laser focused on this
guy like he's distracted. Oh, there's food here
Yeah, oh This guy is in trouble. Yeah, I mean
boo All right, so if the text didn't give it
away before you see the soldier He's fighting
off, but he's surrounded. He's holding his ground.
And this thing gets a good bite. And like, its
teeth just sink in a little further than his
armor can protect. And he pulls his arm away
quickly. And you see like, like a green ooze
begin to drip from their teeth. As the soldier
like, like, like looks around and like, you can
tell he's woozy now. Well that's not ideal. So
at the beginning, so this is how inflict works.
These guys have poison. Every inflict has a condition
that it imposes on the target if it deals a wound.
So, for example, if a weapon with inflict on
fire deals a wound, the target is on fire. So
this is inflict poison. So he has been poisoned.
The inflict weapon has a number. That determines
the number of the tests needed to be made to
remove the condition. So if a weapon says inflict
poison 4 and they wound a target, they become
poisoned. They need to make a DN4 toughness test
to recover at the beginning of their turn or
they take a wound. So you guys generally have
toughness 2 -ish? So kill them faster is what
you're saying. yeah toughness three so these
guys have poison three so you need to roll a
DN of three on the beginning of your turn if
you get poisoned or you'll take a you'll take
a wound from the poison and so that was that
one's turn I completed it so I believe Chet you
are Next Yeah Chet is going to This one's dead.
So he's gonna shift over to this one and he's
gonna aim at it and he's gonna Try and take a
shot at it Yes dead shot I'm not taking that
using that shot just doing regular range. So
that gives me extra ED Let's see what we do here.
He's gonna roll. Let's see, I got one six. I'm
gonna shift that for some damage. Let's see here.
11 point of damage. Oh, okay. It just died. As
he shoots from this... How do you blow it up?
It's basically what if they made children's size
Beretta 50 calibers and he just shoots it, like,
goes through one back of its head out and, you
know, the bullet tumbles and goes out the other
side out of the one of the eye sockets, probably.
And Chet just gives like a thumbs up. It had
one wound left. You did six wounds to it. So
it is obliterated. And at some point, Chet takes
a toothpick out of his pack and puts it in his
mouth. Nice. I'll count that as a free action.
Yeah, free action toothpick. Rule of cool. OK,
I will have the final beast go. I'm assuming
that's the end of your turn. Yeah, that's it
for me. OK, sorry. Okay, the final beast goes
it's going to move its speed directly at Squigs
and it's gonna try and claw you balls. However,
it's it's been wounded and it is injured so I
know that Gives it I think everything it does
has increased the end now That tracks. I think
there is an effect Yeah, there's a system effect.
You can hit wounded. Yep Yeah, it auto got it
once it got it. Yeah, so Now, let's see if that's
true if I go to don't worry boys. I'm gonna live
forever you yeah, it has plus 1dn to all tests
as a Modifier. Yeah, I might survive I am oh
It got to it did get to it hit me And roll your
damage damage against you Seven seven. Well,
I have a resilience of three Okay You so now
and now I will Was it I'm going to try to resist
it. Yeah shock. Yeah So if you hit apply damage
for yourself it should auto Pick up the shock
window and you can determine I lack the permissions
to do this. Oh Would you like me to do it then?
Yes, we can figure out permission later. I will
apply the damage to you It is based on your determination
so you have two determinations out of four wounds
so you can turn to I will Do the thing roll out
will do the thing for you So I've converted all
three of your wounds to shock Oh, that's good.
So, unfortunately, you are now poisoned. And
I am poisoned. So you are now exhausted. And
poisoned. And wounded. This tracks. But I'm not
dead. You are not dead. Okay. So that's its turn.
The soldiers will now finish out the round. I
will say you see there are only three beasts
left alive and there are four soldiers. The veteran
steps over here and he takes out his combat knife
and stabs the one that's attacking you. Oh, thank
God. Perfect, he executes me. It's still the
same success. Let me just make sure. He's gonna
shift for damage. Execute squigs for treason.
Yeah, right. Seven damage. This one dies. Since
it does not have any more... Oh, what? No, it
had no shock left. I don't know why it did that.
It should have just died. I will remember that
in the future that I should just click ignore
shock. It lets you subtract zero from... Unless
you track numbers from zero. I don't know that's
weird anyway, um That beast is dead This soldier
will Shoot this soldier will stab The weak one
in front of it. Uh -oh. Oh wrath critical. He
is a critical hit So you see this soldier whip
out his knife and just jam it jam the dagger
into the the beast that's fighting it in the
head. Take that jungle creature. Wow. It's it
suffers an additional 1d3 wounds and it's staggered.
My goodness. So let's roll for damage. Oh, my
God. Roll for the additional wounds. Oh, it did
three. OK, so it just dies as he just it's just
like, I'm tired of this and just jams the. the
dagger through the front of its mouth and holds
it there as it slowly dies. This is why we don't
fuck with the catachan. That was fun. That's
impressive. And I think that is the end of combat.
Oh god. We did it! We're all alive. Barely. Barely.
So I will say, let's do this at least once. I
want you to roll a DN3 toughness test to see
if you recover from the poison. Can I use Medicaid
to assist this? Or is that not a... I will say,
this is like an in -combat thing. I'm saying
like like Like you want to tough this role I?
Want to tough this role you can use glory die
if you want to add die to it a dn3 don't forget
dn3 Plus wounded plus poisoned Or just base dn3
Just base dn3 okay Because otherwise I have a
DNS Yeah, well that might be a little hard. We'll
figure out all the pluses and minuses everyone
gets. Yep, yep, that's fine. This makes sense.
You can just manually reduce it to DN3. Or, I
believe. Yeah, hang on. There we go. I can just
reduce it to DN3. Will take a glory you will
have to decrement that to add one more to my
next pool. I fail you fail Poison ticks over.
Well, we'll say you're poisoned. You're actually
poisoned not you did you weren't able to resist
it during combat You have been poisoned. Oh great
and exam Yes So combat has ended I have a thing
for this Well, that was exciting. The smell of
gunpowder and mixes with the jungle's earthy
aroma, creating a pungent, almost metallic tang.
Smoke rises from small explosions near part of
the perimeter where a soldier had thrown a grenade
to deter the advancing creatures. The air is
thick with tension and primal energy of survival.
Chet's just kind of sitting on the ground. next
to his rifle, just like, oh, it's another Tuesday.
Some soldiers lie injured. Some of your comrades
lie injured, but mostly the enemies lie dead.
The sergeant comes up to you and says, oh, oh,
he's not the sergeant. What is the. What is the
leader of like a little base a forward base would
that be like a captain or? Probably like a captain
or like a lieutenant commander a lieutenant,
okay? So the I will just say lieutenant commander
so he comes he comes up to you and says Like
oh, I I can see you got bit These guys are venomous
Go go to the tent. We have the antivendum ready.
Yeah, you're speaking to To you, uh, squigs.
Oh, that sucked. Okay. Okay. Out. And then he's
gonna pick himself up rather gingerly. Um, you
can see his uniform, his clothes are kind of
messed up a bit. There's blood, plenty of blood.
And he starts shifting. Not quite, uh, he's not
quite focused. He's, he has... He has full shock
so he's just like yeah, okay. He just gets up
and shuffles off to the medical tent all right
As soon as you walk in the same field surgeon
that Was running around hectic Lee before grabs
you puts you on a bed and immediately Administers
the anti -venom and begins to bandage your wounds.
Oh good And we'll say that this is like a fully
stocked field hospital so uh in if you if you
all rest for an hour you'll all go back to full
wounds and your conditions will be cleared we
do the we take a knee yeah what's it called the
uh we do a regroup yeah you regroup is there
like an official term that it's called a rath
and glory uh okay yeah let's see let me so we
will regroup Keep going, I, uh... Mm -hmm. So
you do a regroup. Um, we'll say in this instance,
I'm gonna heal all your shock. But normally,
regroups do not heal your shock. Yeah, uh, I
would have to... I would have to spend a Wrath
Point to get rid of shock. Right. But we're good.
Okay. Yeah, like they just they just dose me
with a downer and wrap me with bandages. Yeah
Yeah, well, yeah, we'll say that in this field
tent you they they they give you the anti -venom
You immediately feel better but you still need
to rest, you know you get bandages and Then they
come over and they give you like a specific drink
and as you sip it as you're sipping of it your
hands begin to shake less and less over time
So it's healing your shot. I'm just gonna sit
there and just look at the cup and drink just
breathing just In in the background as you're
doing this the soldiers begin to pick up the
corpses of the Craston beasts and Chuck them
in a pile and light them on fire Don't want to
sound too crass, but you might want to take any
of your boys It fell from these pieces and chuck
them in that way, too Why is that? Check. No.
No, I suppose we don't. And you can see there's
One of the beds has like one of the Like a full
cloth curtain drawn on it he goes in there picks
up a soldier and if you want to do a Medicaid
test as he's dragging him out to see what's going
on you may I'll roll my Medicaid one Okay Hey
one success One success good, um he's Not in
you know, he's in like respectful Like garb he's
like wrapped up in the he's not bringing like
a naked body out. So you can't really see Much
but like as he's carrying him his like hand slips
down and you can see like on his wrist like very
distinct black veins. And that's all you get
as he drags him and chucks him into the fire.
So we'll say that is the - Nah, cheddle. He'll
kinda, uh, look at, uh, Francisco, like, see,
that's what I'm talking about. You gotta respect
the jump. You gotta follow the rules. He was
gonna turn something nasty. That's not gonna
happen to squigs, is it? I don't know, maybe.
I mean, if you want, I can go and shoot him.
uh no no no no god oh i feel terrible i feel
like i feel like it's my fault squigs got hit
i well i don't know i mean let's think about
it this way well yes it is partially your fault
it is not all of your fault it's like 60 40 60
40 oh well yes that's all right still i feel
60 % guilty then I guess still a decent amount
of guilty. I guess I was gonna say the 40 but
if you want to take the 60 that's on you You
want me to go in there and give old squigs? Yeah
What do they call the Emperor's mercy? I'll go
in there and give to him. No, no, no I I think
I'll just I'm just gonna check out him. You sure
it's just over there I can do it real quick.
Okay, I'll be out. Oh, that's that's all right
You did great in there, Chet. But also, since
your chains are kind of melted anyways, I'm just
gonna undo your ankle cuffs. I think we're deep
enough now into the jungle that, you know, don't
go too far, please. Well, I appreciate the symbolic
gesture. Yeah, there you go. So I'll just undo
the ankle cuffs just so he doesn't have a little
bit of chain dragging around him. But then also
annoying as he walked as he was walking, it was
clanking really. Also, if we have to make stealth
checks. Yeah, I assume that'll be. And like,
as you like, after you unchain him, like officially
undo, it's like he looks dangerous now. Like
he before he was just like in his prison uniform.
And now you see him, like he's got his weapon.
He's got it like there's like a glean in his
eye that he didn't have before. Like he looks
dangerous. For the sake of our new friendship
I ignore that and let you continue But yeah fair
fair, but I will go check on squigs then And
just ask like hey squigs, how you doing? Better
much better that is Being poisoned is never fun
No, I Yeah, I did not know they were going to
do that But it sounds like they they hooked you
up to the good stuff. You're gonna be okay. Yeah,
I am I think I Think I'll be okay If I'm not
okay, we gotta keep going there's paperwork never
stops Yeah, that's that's yeah, I guess that's
true. I just wanted to say uh I'm kind of sorry
about that back there. I kind of when I was screaming
I was I didn't want them to get any one of the
tent, but then they got you instead and I That's
on me. I I I promise to be I I'll say this I
saw you handling your pistol earlier, and you're
a You're a fine shot. I just I guess I kind of
forgot that you're also a you know sitting in
a Desk most of your time, so I don't know. I
don't know what I'm saying here. Just that I'm
sorry. I just You handle yourself well, right?
It's fine. We did good. I didn't die you didn't
die well We'll chalk this up as growing pains
Try try not to drag them towards me next time
if you I would appreciate that of course they
If you want to pull them towards yourself, I'm
not gonna I'm not the I'm not the boss of you
I didn't fill out any of that paperwork, but
it's fair enough I You know what maybe there's
something around here that'll help me Handle
them a little bit better and I suppose I'll look
for a sword or something Kevin just so I have
an in reason universe to have something like
that Yeah, we can go over what you get but The
soldier that Chet was talking to telling him
to burn their dead comes back and says, well,
that's done. You guys look a bit worse for wear.
Can't let this go to waste anyway. Here. And
he drops all his gear at your feet. And so we'll
say that part of his gear is whatever melee weapon
you wish to take. An extra... basic gun like
a las gun or a shotgun or something and a one
frag grenade and a set of armor in case one of
you want different armor so i was going to your
basically the armor anyway so yep so you get
flak armor um the basic flak armor that he was
wearing uh someone can take the grenade um and
then there will be a gun of your choice whether
it's a las gun a pistol or a shotgun or we'll
figure it out Then a Melee weapon whether that's
a knife or a sword or whatever basic melee weapon
we can figure it out Sounds good to me. Thanks
for Throwing it in out there guys. You really
pulled your weight happy to impress Well, we
have to get this done can't do it if everyone's
dead so Yeah, I guess so But if these are the
guys that attacked Grims' crew, does that mean
that the area they were exploring should be clear
now? I don't know. The jungle's... it's big.
We've had minor attacks on the base before, but
never something of this scale. They're getting
more bold. I don't know if you saw, but... I
don't think they were running here because they
were attacking us. It looked like they were running
from something. That's disturbing. Thank you
