WEBVTT 00:00:03.519 --> 00:00:06.719 Welcome to Roll 4 Heresy, with Walton playing 00:00:06.719 --> 00:00:09.400 Chet, Cliff playing Francisco, Tim playing Swiggs, 00:00:09.619 --> 00:00:13.220 and Kevin as the GM. Last time, the group's information 00:00:13.220 --> 00:00:15.119 gathering attempt was interrupted by a surprise 00:00:15.119 --> 00:00:17.640 attack on the outpost. Having survived the fight 00:00:17.640 --> 00:00:19.620 with Vicious Kraz and Beast, they took their 00:00:19.620 --> 00:00:22.379 last safe rest before heading deep into the jungle. 00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:28.239 We've had minor attacks on the base before, but 00:00:28.239 --> 00:00:30.600 never something of this scale. They're getting 00:00:30.600 --> 00:00:34.960 more bold. Don't know if you saw but I don't 00:00:34.960 --> 00:00:36.539 think they were running here because they were 00:00:36.539 --> 00:00:38.340 attacking us looked like they were running from 00:00:38.340 --> 00:00:45.560 something That's disturbing Well, there's always 00:00:45.560 --> 00:00:48.240 something bigger in the jungle you never just 00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:50.799 dealing with the baddest thing in there always 00:00:50.799 --> 00:00:55.060 a bigger fish damn it Think of Star Wars now. 00:00:55.359 --> 00:01:01.780 Haha suck it nerd Good very well. Well, I guess 00:01:02.659 --> 00:01:08.079 Yeah, squigs listen take a few hours stay here 00:01:08.079 --> 00:01:15.400 rest up you both to Stop by the mess hall grab 00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:21.400 grab some rations and When you're ready, you 00:01:21.400 --> 00:01:27.379 know where the exit is I'm glad you're feeling 00:01:27.379 --> 00:01:29.930 better. I just won't let you know I told our 00:01:29.930 --> 00:01:32.390 buddy here, Francisco, but if you are feeling 00:01:32.390 --> 00:01:36.530 weird and you need to maybe have me take you 00:01:36.530 --> 00:01:38.569 out back and put one in the back of your head, 00:01:38.590 --> 00:01:43.849 you let me know. You know, I appreciate that. 00:01:44.730 --> 00:01:48.689 I really do, surprisingly. I'll let you know 00:01:48.689 --> 00:01:52.450 if I need you to shoot me. See, Francisco, everybody 00:01:52.450 --> 00:01:54.530 doesn't take this kind of thing so personal. 00:01:56.349 --> 00:02:03.140 Uh, yeah, OK. Sure. And I just saw him, like, 00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:06.900 slump against the wall. You hear coughing in 00:02:06.900 --> 00:02:13.060 the background. Boy. Francisco. Immediately throw 00:02:13.060 --> 00:02:19.080 the grenade in there. Kobe! In the back of the 00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:21.639 tent, you hear Grim calling you, Francisco. I 00:02:21.639 --> 00:02:29.840 go over to him. Let me look into your eyes. Yeah, 00:02:31.340 --> 00:02:35.159 the jungle steals that didn't since doesn't it 00:02:35.159 --> 00:02:46.259 boy I I just sort of shrugged my shoulders and 00:02:46.259 --> 00:02:57.419 I like leave the tent I Mean I can go back and 00:02:57.419 --> 00:03:03.949 shoot that guy Yeah, so squigs will get up as 00:03:03.949 --> 00:03:11.629 this is grim as being weird And put on a set 00:03:11.629 --> 00:03:20.550 of the flak armor Kind of adeptly set it Size 00:03:20.550 --> 00:03:23.889 it without anybody else's help and poor make 00:03:23.889 --> 00:03:27.240 sure his Robes cover it back over again. So he 00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:32.180 just looks a little bulkier than before All right 00:03:32.180 --> 00:03:37.060 nice You what you have equipped? Black armor 00:03:37.060 --> 00:03:39.979 we'll say for now since we're gonna keep playing 00:03:39.979 --> 00:03:42.900 I don't know if you If you can just add a knife 00:03:42.900 --> 00:03:44.840 to your combat sheet. It looks like you have 00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:48.840 one. I already have one. Yeah.

We'll say for dramatic purposes 00:04:33.319 --> 00:04:36.060 after like Grim starts laughing at me I see the 00:04:36.060 --> 00:04:37.600 sword on the ground and I just sort of like grab 00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:41.860 it but I like just like drag it on the floor 00:04:41.860 --> 00:04:48.100 out of the tent.

I kept 00:04:53.980 --> 00:04:57.199 dragging it to your character sheet, and it wasn't 00:04:57.199 --> 00:04:59.399 updating, and I was like, what's going on? I 00:04:59.399 --> 00:05:02.100 still don't see it. I can delete two of them, 00:05:02.100 --> 00:05:05.040 because if I go into combat now, oh, it just 00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:09.040 isn't in combat. Oh, it's not equipped. Yes, 00:05:09.040 --> 00:05:13.540 it's in your gear section. Quantity one. All 00:05:13.540 --> 00:05:16.360 right. There it is. There you go. Unequipped 00:05:16.360 --> 00:05:22.079 knife. Yeah. And now I will chop somebody. There 00:05:22.079 --> 00:05:25.279 you go. We all need somebody to chop. Whoops. 00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:30.120 Okay, I need to do better at sorting. Sword test 00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:34.100 failure. You swing at the air and you drop it. 00:05:35.079 --> 00:05:37.000 It flies out of your hand and now it's sticking 00:05:37.000 --> 00:05:46.040 out of Grim's torso. I always knew you'd kill 00:05:46.040 --> 00:05:51.540 me. You killed me, boy. You killed me. Your innocence, 00:05:51.639 --> 00:05:58.000 boy. The jungle turns you into a murderer! Alright, 00:05:58.680 --> 00:06:01.980 so you take a few hours, you recover, you collect 00:06:01.980 --> 00:06:06.439 yourselves, the smell of roasting Kasdan beast 00:06:06.439 --> 00:06:10.000 tickles your nostrils. It's kind of acrid because, 00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:13.519 like, the venom is being cooked in the fire, 00:06:13.620 --> 00:06:16.300 but, like, it's not toxic to breathe, but it 00:06:16.300 --> 00:06:20.480 does not smell good. It's just burning fur and 00:06:20.480 --> 00:06:27.589 chemical bullshit. Yeah and chemicals Very smoky, 00:06:27.730 --> 00:06:34.850 you know the once Everyone's a little more on 00:06:34.850 --> 00:06:38.649 edge now The tension like there's a low hanging 00:06:38.649 --> 00:06:41.370 like smoky fog. That's like hanging over the 00:06:41.370 --> 00:06:47.449 tent the whole camp and You feel like if you 00:06:47.449 --> 00:06:50.410 want to you could probably leave now unless there's 00:06:50.410 --> 00:06:53.720 anything else you want to do Nope. I grabbed 00:06:53.720 --> 00:06:56.100 like a granola bar or something from the mess 00:06:56.100 --> 00:07:00.459 hall. Was Tenor killed by any chance? Were we 00:07:00.459 --> 00:07:06.620 that lucky? Tenor left. The doors are just locked 00:07:06.620 --> 00:07:08.699 on the truck and he's got his feet up reading 00:07:08.699 --> 00:07:13.600 space pornography. Completely ignoring the pitched 00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:18.800 combat next to it. He wakes up, he goes, what 00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:22.279 happened? No, no, he's gone. He's anybody guys 00:07:22.279 --> 00:07:29.939 off me left. Yeah Come on Chet it's time for 00:07:29.939 --> 00:07:35.180 you to go oh My god you did this he's gonna be 00:07:35.180 --> 00:07:40.259 an awkward recurring kid you Chet did this I'm 00:07:40.259 --> 00:07:47.180 sorry No, you're not don't lie. I'm not All right 00:07:47.180 --> 00:07:50.680 The jungle path is narrow almost swallowed by 00:07:50.680 --> 00:07:53.560 the vegetation that encroaches from both sides. 00:07:54.199 --> 00:07:56.720 Towering trees form a tangled canopy overhead, 00:07:57.459 --> 00:07:59.579 their twisting branches letting only fragmented 00:07:59.579 --> 00:08:02.819 beams of sunlight filter through. The air is 00:08:02.819 --> 00:08:04.980 thick with moisture, and the ground beneath your 00:08:04.980 --> 00:08:08.040 feet is damp and uneven, slick with mud and scattered 00:08:08.040 --> 00:08:10.339 with roots that threaten to trip you underway. 00:08:12.220 --> 00:08:14.399 Binds dangle like serpents from above, brushing 00:08:14.399 --> 00:08:17.959 against you as you pass, and massive leaves rustle 00:08:17.959 --> 00:08:21.529 ominously with each faint breeze. The colors 00:08:21.529 --> 00:08:24.910 are a ride of greens punctuated by vivid bursts 00:08:24.910 --> 00:08:28.069 of flowers in fiery reds, orange, and purples, 00:08:28.069 --> 00:08:31.250 yet even their beauty feels treacherous as if 00:08:31.250 --> 00:08:33.870 the jungle itself is warning you to stay alert. 00:08:34.889 --> 00:08:37.610 The soundscape is alive with constant activity 00:08:37.610 --> 00:08:41.789 and almost oppressive cacophony. The ceaseless 00:08:41.789 --> 00:08:45.190 drone of insects weave a background hum broken 00:08:45.190 --> 00:08:48.450 by the high -pitched calls of birds and the occasional 00:08:48.649 --> 00:08:51.629 gutter growl or distant roar of an unseen predator. 00:08:53.009 --> 00:08:55.789 Every crack of a branch or rustle of a leaf would 00:08:55.789 --> 00:08:58.850 signal the approach of danger, keeping your senses 00:08:58.850 --> 00:09:05.350 on edge. Alright, well, I guess I'll start scouting 00:09:05.350 --> 00:09:08.370 forward unless y 'all got some other ideas of 00:09:08.370 --> 00:09:12.710 what you want me to do. Should we move through 00:09:12.710 --> 00:09:16.210 the jungle stealthily? I have a decent stealth 00:09:16.210 --> 00:09:22.039 role. Probably not a bad idea like if you head 00:09:22.039 --> 00:09:25.620 -to -head Check goes ahead. I can we can just 00:09:25.620 --> 00:09:28.120 kind of try to follow without making too much 00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:33.159 noise or we make a lot of noise We're not really 00:09:33.159 --> 00:09:35.639 on a time limit here, so if we just go slow and 00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:41.559 quiet we should be I'm gonna try and roll stealth 00:09:41.559 --> 00:09:47.759 and just see what happens. My god. Wow, that's 00:09:47.759 --> 00:09:52.879 a lot of stealth die. Prepare to be well. Nice! 00:09:58.379 --> 00:10:03.019 Amazing. For you listeners, that was three fails. 00:10:03.179 --> 00:10:05.100 Three critical failure rolls. Oh, you can shift. 00:10:06.419 --> 00:10:09.299 Can I shift mine? Uh, do what you want with that 00:10:09.299 --> 00:10:12.039 complication. You can shift yours. Let's uh, 00:10:12.179 --> 00:10:16.049 let me roll it, let's see what it says. I like 00:10:16.049 --> 00:10:21.169 this. Past problem. As you're stealthing, as 00:10:21.169 --> 00:10:24.429 you're stuck in this jungle, something from your 00:10:24.429 --> 00:10:28.169 past creeps into the back of your head. This 00:10:28.169 --> 00:10:31.929 feeling, this danger, this ominous threat, this 00:10:31.929 --> 00:10:40.129 ever -present entropy of the jungle creeps into 00:10:40.129 --> 00:10:44.580 this old wound and flares up. By this distracted 00:10:44.580 --> 00:10:54.899 memory And so Chet and Francisco you guys are 00:10:54.899 --> 00:10:58.399 doing great you guys are you're moving flawlessly 00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:04.519 And then you see you see squigs He starts good, 00:11:04.519 --> 00:11:08.539 but then just like as he's going it looks like 00:11:08.539 --> 00:11:12.559 his eyes begin to just kind of fade in the background 00:11:12.559 --> 00:11:14.879 like he's not paying attention and then he just 00:11:14.879 --> 00:11:18.399 kind of begins to step on like twigs and stuff 00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:22.340 and like just kind of not being stealthy anymore 00:11:22.340 --> 00:11:28.179 hey hey squigs squigs what what damn it oh first 00:11:28.179 --> 00:11:30.340 of all you failed the test i already i already 00:11:30.340 --> 00:11:33.019 told you if you hear your name in in the jungle 00:11:33.019 --> 00:11:35.899 you did not hear your name i said your name there 00:11:35.899 --> 00:11:38.120 and you answered i ain't was gonna get you you're 00:11:38.120 --> 00:11:43.169 gonna get a well, you said it wasn't your voice 00:11:43.169 --> 00:11:47.629 I know what I said, Squigs but, second of all, 00:11:47.870 --> 00:11:49.610 you're stepping on twigs, you're making all kinds 00:11:49.610 --> 00:11:53.029 of noises you're trying to get his A out here 00:11:53.029 --> 00:12:00.789 oh, sorry, sorry, I am I'm sorry gotta tighten 00:12:00.789 --> 00:12:03.710 it up, tighten it up it, yeah, okay, alright, 00:12:03.730 --> 00:12:09.700 I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it was, um yeah okay yeah 00:12:09.700 --> 00:12:15.100 the uh feels odd out here just a little little 00:12:15.100 --> 00:12:21.059 uh doesn't feel normal out here it's the jungle 00:12:21.059 --> 00:12:24.200 yeah if it was supposed to feel right it wouldn't 00:12:24.200 --> 00:12:29.500 be the jungle i guess i guess that's true i mean 00:12:29.500 --> 00:12:36.200 you're the expert it's just yeah okay just feel 00:12:36.200 --> 00:12:43.269 like Okay, we're good.

He's going through the 00:13:23.750 --> 00:13:26.850 motions of being stealthy but he's not particularly 00:13:26.850 --> 00:13:30.529 good at it and he's not paying attention like 00:13:30.529 --> 00:13:36.320 the train's guardsman would.

I will say, Francisco, you're kind of looking 00:15:22.850 --> 00:15:27.789 around, and you don't necessarily see anything 00:15:27.789 --> 00:15:32.750 particularly... interesting it's dense it's hard 00:15:32.750 --> 00:15:39.529 however Francisco being put I'm sorry not go 00:15:39.529 --> 00:15:45.330 however squigs being put on such edge before 00:15:45.330 --> 00:15:48.149 just like being in this place it kind of made 00:15:48.149 --> 00:15:55.889 you a little hyper vigilant and you see what 00:15:55.889 --> 00:15:59.549 appears to be vines moving on their own on the 00:15:59.549 --> 00:16:03.110 ground, and Chet is heading straight for them. 00:16:05.029 --> 00:16:09.389 Oh! Chet! Vines! They'll just snap up and point 00:16:09.389 --> 00:16:14.690 right ahead of you, and uh... Vines! Dead ahead 00:16:14.690 --> 00:16:17.129 of you! They look like they're moving. Did you 00:16:17.129 --> 00:16:22.169 say Chet's name? Yes, I did. Nope. Nope. That's 00:16:22.169 --> 00:16:24.110 the jungle. Nope. Not gonna fall for that. You 00:16:24.110 --> 00:16:30.519 ain't gonna get me. Then as you say that, as 00:16:30.519 --> 00:16:34.580 Chet is distracted by the radio malfunctioning, 00:16:34.620 --> 00:16:38.860 and as he is determined not to fall for the jungle's 00:16:38.860 --> 00:16:43.360 trick, a vine... He falls for the jungle's trick. 00:16:44.899 --> 00:16:50.139 You see a vine quickly snap around and wrap around, 00:16:50.299 --> 00:16:52.519 coil around both his legs, and drag him into 00:16:52.519 --> 00:16:56.519 the brush. Oh shit. How'd the jungles got me? 00:17:04.779 --> 00:17:07.779 Can I see the vines at all? Can I take a shot 00:17:07.779 --> 00:17:10.599 as he's getting dragged off to try to pop the 00:17:10.599 --> 00:17:14.579 vines? Yeah. All right. Go ahead, give me a shot, 00:17:14.599 --> 00:17:17.940 but it's going to be difficult because the jungle 00:17:17.940 --> 00:17:19.960 is thick and you don't really have a good idea 00:17:19.960 --> 00:17:22.660 of where he went. Yeah, I was just trying to, 00:17:22.700 --> 00:17:24.839 like, you can hear him. I assume you're screaming 00:17:24.839 --> 00:17:28.720 or saying something. Yeah, he's just like, damn, 00:17:28.859 --> 00:17:32.680 ain't trying to get me up. Just in trouble, just 00:17:32.680 --> 00:17:41.890 having problems. That's funny. Alright, what 00:17:41.890 --> 00:17:46.309 difficulty do you want? For your shot? Yes. So 00:17:46.309 --> 00:17:50.630 we'll say, I'll start it at a DN2, and then I'll 00:17:50.630 --> 00:17:53.710 penalize it, because it's got to be an aimed 00:17:53.710 --> 00:17:56.289 shot, because you're specifically aiming for 00:17:56.289 --> 00:18:01.710 these moving vines, and you're in melee, because 00:18:01.710 --> 00:18:05.099 you don't want to shoot Chet. So DN4. Alright, 00:18:05.200 --> 00:18:09.900 I will take a DN4. Hopefully I don't fail and 00:18:09.900 --> 00:18:11.900 shoot Chet in the face. I feel like that would 00:18:11.900 --> 00:18:15.380 be bad. That would reduce some of our rapport 00:18:15.380 --> 00:18:18.019 we've started to build. Yes, I would like not 00:18:18.019 --> 00:18:23.720 to be shot. You know what? I want to spend a 00:18:23.720 --> 00:18:26.380 glory. Give me a sec. I want to try something 00:18:26.380 --> 00:18:30.359 with the glory. Oh, you want to spend a glory 00:18:30.359 --> 00:18:32.720 to alter the scene. I do want to spend a glory 00:18:32.720 --> 00:18:35.180 to alter the scene. So this is something that 00:18:35.180 --> 00:18:38.440 you guys should also consider. Which is very 00:18:38.440 --> 00:18:41.839 cool. You can spend your glory. I can spend my 00:18:41.839 --> 00:18:45.259 ruin to ruin your day. If I set a scene and you 00:18:45.259 --> 00:18:47.960 want to make some reasonable change. Ah, so it's 00:18:47.960 --> 00:18:49.779 a wrath point. I can spend one of my wrath points, 00:18:49.859 --> 00:18:52.960 not a glory. I have two wrath points. I'm gonna 00:18:52.960 --> 00:18:57.579 spend a wrath point. What I want to do is... 00:18:57.579 --> 00:19:01.839 Looks like there's some... So, yeah. Minor narrative 00:19:01.839 --> 00:19:06.559 element. to the current scene. So... Yes, please. 00:19:06.559 --> 00:19:09.759 He's getting dragged away and it looks like there's 00:19:09.759 --> 00:19:15.819 a dead log suspended by some non -predatory vines. 00:19:16.079 --> 00:19:19.099 And I want to shoot the log so that way it would 00:19:19.099 --> 00:19:21.759 drop on the vines dragging Jedi away. Awesome. 00:19:22.460 --> 00:19:27.539 Do it. Alright, I will say it is DN3 because 00:19:27.539 --> 00:19:30.400 it's still difficult but it's not moving and 00:19:30.400 --> 00:19:33.329 you're not shooting in the melee. Okay, DN3. 00:19:34.630 --> 00:19:40.009 Then I am going to... And I'm going to spend 00:19:40.009 --> 00:19:42.170 one glory to increase my dice pool, if you're 00:19:42.170 --> 00:19:43.690 alright with that. If everybody's alright with 00:19:43.690 --> 00:19:54.809 that. Spend it. Yes! And a critical hit. And 00:19:54.809 --> 00:19:58.970 a critical hit. And I will shift one of these... 00:19:59.369 --> 00:20:04.769 right back into uh into glory unless unless you 00:20:04.769 --> 00:20:06.569 think damage would be appropriate for the effect 00:20:06.569 --> 00:20:10.250 i want no no you're gonna shoot the like it's 00:20:10.250 --> 00:20:13.509 a it's a vine you'll shoot it and uh it's a critical 00:20:13.509 --> 00:20:20.690 so all right yeah beautiful so you see as chet 00:20:20.690 --> 00:20:26.049 is you see vines lash out snake around chet's 00:20:26.049 --> 00:20:29.410 limbs grab him like a vice start pulling them 00:20:29.410 --> 00:20:34.589 away but you were quick thinking you aim your 00:20:34.589 --> 00:20:37.309 pistol at where Chet is but you're like I don't 00:20:37.309 --> 00:20:39.769 want to shoot Chet and something catches your 00:20:39.769 --> 00:20:43.109 eye above you and you see that hanging log you 00:20:43.109 --> 00:20:46.789 fire with amazing precision and hit every vine 00:20:46.789 --> 00:20:52.190 through the log as each vine explodes into a 00:20:52.190 --> 00:20:55.369 plant watery mist from the heat of the laser 00:20:55.369 --> 00:21:00.890 piercing through them The log falls and you hear 00:21:00.890 --> 00:21:05.589 a distinct squishy wet thud as it sticks into 00:21:05.589 --> 00:21:10.369 the mud of the forest and then you hear a thud 00:21:10.369 --> 00:21:14.349 as Chet is pulled directly into the the log but 00:21:14.349 --> 00:21:19.329 can no longer move and He is now he's now stuck 00:21:19.329 --> 00:21:21.849 in the vine, but he's not moving anymore I'll 00:21:21.849 --> 00:21:23.829 then run up with my brand -new sword and try 00:21:23.829 --> 00:21:27.579 to chop the vines away now that he's not So we'll 00:21:27.579 --> 00:21:31.099 say and I just want to get back like 15 feet 00:21:31.099 --> 00:21:33.700 Yeah, I'm gonna keep my eyes on the swivel for 00:21:33.700 --> 00:21:41.759 more vines come to grab people right So As you 00:21:41.759 --> 00:21:46.619 like run up you begin cutting him you being cutting 00:21:46.619 --> 00:21:51.759 the vines And you you manage to cut him free 00:21:51.759 --> 00:21:57.349 and then as you look up You see a mass of, like, 00:21:57.589 --> 00:22:00.789 writhing sinewing vines that almost seem alive. 00:22:02.309 --> 00:22:06.049 The tendrils are a deep, glossy green, and they're 00:22:06.049 --> 00:22:11.069 dripping with, like, a strange sap. And they 00:22:11.069 --> 00:22:14.269 twist and coil with an unsettling purpose. At 00:22:14.269 --> 00:22:17.490 the center of this plant is a gaping maw lined 00:22:17.490 --> 00:22:21.250 with thorn -like protrusion, pulsing faintly 00:22:21.250 --> 00:22:25.599 as if it was breathing. you can smell a sickly 00:22:25.599 --> 00:22:30.579 sweet aroma that feels like it would attract 00:22:30.579 --> 00:22:36.960 certain prey to this this position and almost 00:22:36.960 --> 00:22:42.700 kind of masks the danger of the situation you 00:22:42.700 --> 00:22:45.000 know actually we have a down tree right here 00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:49.799 I'm just gonna move everyone and we'll say It 00:22:49.799 --> 00:22:51.940 actually happened right here because that's kind 00:22:51.940 --> 00:22:55.279 of how it worked like that. Makes sense to me. 00:22:55.660 --> 00:22:58.599 General, I say Francisco and Chet are there and 00:22:58.599 --> 00:23:02.599 then Squigs, you can be somewhere in that vicinity 00:23:02.599 --> 00:23:04.839 where that's fine. Yeah, I'm fine with that. 00:23:05.819 --> 00:23:08.019 This thing is on the other side of the fallen 00:23:08.019 --> 00:23:13.119 tree. Good, good, good, good. All right. And 00:23:13.119 --> 00:23:15.000 I'm just going to I'm going to point at that 00:23:15.000 --> 00:23:17.299 and be like, that does not look like a normal 00:23:17.299 --> 00:23:24.099 plant. You can you can hear like the squelching 00:23:24.099 --> 00:23:29.880 and the pulsating wetness of it as it rides around 00:23:29.880 --> 00:23:34.039 and as you're cutting it it like it almost looks 00:23:34.039 --> 00:23:37.640 like it's in pain if it if it can be and it like 00:23:37.640 --> 00:23:43.059 it retracts the vines very quickly and Chet you're 00:23:43.059 --> 00:23:48.000 now free Well damn I appreciate that I almost 00:23:48.000 --> 00:23:50.220 got eight I don't mind talking about getting 00:23:50.220 --> 00:23:53.000 eight Here I am almost being the first one to 00:23:53.000 --> 00:23:55.380 get eight. That's the worst case scenario I recall. 00:23:56.119 --> 00:23:58.140 That is correct. You did say you getting eight 00:23:58.140 --> 00:24:04.259 was the worst part. I'm glad that you chose for 00:24:04.259 --> 00:24:07.000 me not to shoot you in the head yesterday. Was 00:24:07.000 --> 00:24:10.599 that yesterday? It was, might have sold a few 00:24:10.599 --> 00:24:16.839 hours ago. It has been a day. That it has. We 00:24:16.839 --> 00:24:18.880 should probably deal with whatever that nightmare 00:24:18.880 --> 00:24:23.190 is. Watching it like tendrils whip around and 00:24:23.190 --> 00:24:27.289 making wet hungry plant noises Yeah, I suppose 00:24:27.289 --> 00:24:36.509 so Did one of you save that grenade maybe I'm 00:24:36.509 --> 00:24:39.490 not carrying it. I don't think I took anything 00:24:39.490 --> 00:24:43.230 There was a grenade do you want me to use my 00:24:43.230 --> 00:24:47.420 grenade? You can throw that grenade. You can 00:24:47.420 --> 00:24:49.140 use the grenade or we're all just gonna stand 00:24:49.140 --> 00:24:50.660 in the line and shoot it like this is office 00:24:50.660 --> 00:24:59.380 space. What does a grenade do in Wrath and Glory? 00:24:59.740 --> 00:25:02.160 Is it like designed as an AOE or is it designed 00:25:02.160 --> 00:25:04.059 as like a... Yeah. Oh, then I might want to save 00:25:04.059 --> 00:25:07.539 it for multiple targets then. Right, so let's 00:25:07.539 --> 00:25:19.799 look at a grenade really quick. Frag grenade 00:25:19.799 --> 00:25:26.599 yeah, so it's um Specifically it's a blast weapon 00:25:26.599 --> 00:25:31.880 and blast as a certain rule set where you can 00:25:31.880 --> 00:25:35.619 hit multiple enemies and They have a chance to 00:25:35.619 --> 00:25:37.819 like dot they can they have a chance to dodge 00:25:37.819 --> 00:25:41.339 out of the way of AOE attacks It's the same thing 00:25:41.339 --> 00:25:44.180 with like a shotgun can hit like an arc. You 00:25:44.180 --> 00:25:45.579 can actually hit more than one person with a 00:25:45.579 --> 00:25:48.279 shotgun or like a flamethrower can hit more than 00:25:48.279 --> 00:25:50.980 one person in a line, so there are different 00:25:50.980 --> 00:25:57.099 rules for like an AoE attack. Alright, in that 00:25:57.099 --> 00:25:59.599 case, yeah, we might just save it for when we 00:25:59.599 --> 00:26:02.059 have multiple Vine Monsters. But yeah, if we 00:26:02.059 --> 00:26:04.220 want to just take turns shooting it, I'm totally 00:26:04.220 --> 00:26:09.000 down for that as well. Pump some laser into it. 00:26:10.579 --> 00:26:15.130 We definitely should shoot it. I don't like that 00:26:15.130 --> 00:26:17.589 it tried to eat us. Also, then I don't have to 00:26:17.589 --> 00:26:22.190 put it on the map as a hazard. Here there be 00:26:22.190 --> 00:26:26.910 plants. But I'm not the jungle expert. If we 00:26:26.910 --> 00:26:30.589 leave it go, that's not my... I'm here to draw 00:26:30.589 --> 00:26:35.410 the map. Yeah. I will say that as you're deciding 00:26:35.410 --> 00:26:38.130 what to do with it, its vines are slowly coming 00:26:38.130 --> 00:26:42.230 back towards you, but not at a speed that wouldn't 00:26:42.230 --> 00:26:44.380 allow you to run away. if you wanted to just 00:26:44.380 --> 00:26:47.000 move past it. It clearly is more is meant more 00:26:47.000 --> 00:26:50.980 to be a trap than it is a like an ambush threat. 00:26:51.059 --> 00:26:54.799 It's an ambush predator plant. Correct. Yeah, 00:26:54.799 --> 00:26:58.000 if we can get past it, I would just go around 00:26:58.000 --> 00:27:01.619 it. All right, then we should go around it. I'll 00:27:01.619 --> 00:27:04.400 make a note of it like angry plant thing here. 00:27:04.599 --> 00:27:11.259 OK, I'll just put you guys around it and then. 00:27:11.400 --> 00:27:20.849 Yay. All right as you continue your way You pass 00:27:20.849 --> 00:27:26.829 multiple Down trees trees stuck in vines you've 00:27:26.829 --> 00:27:30.609 crossed little spotties of water teeming with 00:27:30.609 --> 00:27:35.230 life everything looks amazing and terrifying 00:27:35.230 --> 00:27:41.490 at the same time and then I need and another 00:27:41.490 --> 00:27:50.250 awareness test from each of you. Awareness test... 00:27:50.250 --> 00:27:52.549 Hey, that's a little bit better. Yeah, there 00:27:52.549 --> 00:27:58.369 you go. Pass. Hooray! Am I aware? Am I sentient? 00:28:04.650 --> 00:28:15.599 Oh, okay. So... Francisco and Swigs you both 00:28:15.599 --> 00:28:18.619 are you know you both are keeping your eyes on 00:28:18.619 --> 00:28:21.720 the plant this this crazy plant vine monster 00:28:21.720 --> 00:28:24.559 thing you're like I don't want it to like attack 00:28:24.559 --> 00:28:26.440 us from the back so you've got your eyes behind 00:28:26.440 --> 00:28:31.339 you Chet you've you know you've already you're 00:28:31.339 --> 00:28:33.319 seasoned you've already you've already gone beyond 00:28:33.319 --> 00:28:34.599 that you don't care about that thing anymore 00:28:34.599 --> 00:28:36.559 you know you're past it you've got your eyes 00:28:36.559 --> 00:28:44.009 forward And you begin to see leaves, Russell, 00:28:44.250 --> 00:28:50.829 in the canopy above you. And you hear a low clicking 00:28:50.829 --> 00:29:01.150 sound. Chet raises his rifle and looks like Squicks 00:29:01.150 --> 00:29:04.130 is behind him. So they like pat, you know, pat 00:29:04.130 --> 00:29:07.150 Squicks on the on his hip. You know, he's short. 00:29:07.359 --> 00:29:10.440 and he's like raised his rifle up looking towards 00:29:10.440 --> 00:29:14.400 the canopy and see if you can see what it is. 00:29:16.079 --> 00:29:20.619 So as you raise your weapon and you look through 00:29:20.619 --> 00:29:25.880 the scope to see, you can see the leaves rustling 00:29:25.880 --> 00:29:28.299 but you can't really see anything but you think 00:29:28.299 --> 00:29:32.119 you're looking in the right spot. Hey, looks 00:29:32.119 --> 00:29:35.480 like there's something in the trees up ahead. 00:29:36.409 --> 00:29:39.289 I can't see what it is, but there's definitely 00:29:39.289 --> 00:29:41.930 something in there. Can I take like a pot shot 00:29:41.930 --> 00:29:45.069 at it? Should we hide? Yeah, you can take a pot 00:29:45.069 --> 00:29:48.970 shot at it. Let's take a pot shot at it and see 00:29:48.970 --> 00:29:51.829 if anything comes out. Sure, I'm not going to 00:29:51.829 --> 00:29:54.029 tell you the DN, just roll it and then we'll 00:29:54.029 --> 00:30:02.150 see how many successes you get. Okay. Only two 00:30:02.150 --> 00:30:09.940 successes. Six? Yeah, two successes. Yeah, four, 00:30:10.000 --> 00:30:13.539 five, and six are successes. Yeah. One, two, 00:30:13.539 --> 00:30:19.339 and three are not. Wow. So you got the one -six 00:30:19.339 --> 00:30:21.420 on your... You got the one -six. The rat die. 00:30:21.460 --> 00:30:24.700 It was just the rat die, but no critical because 00:30:24.700 --> 00:30:30.480 it's not a success. It wasn't DM -3 anyway, so... 00:30:30.480 --> 00:30:33.519 So you look into the canopy, you hear this low 00:30:33.519 --> 00:30:39.150 clicking sound. You fire and you see your your 00:30:39.150 --> 00:30:44.809 your your shot pierce the canopy and then leaves 00:30:44.809 --> 00:30:47.450 that you've shot the branches down begin to fall 00:30:47.450 --> 00:30:55.390 and the little pieces of burning Leaf plant matter 00:30:55.390 --> 00:31:01.049 kind of like stick to something and They kind 00:31:01.049 --> 00:31:06.450 of look like they're floating in air and as you're 00:31:06.450 --> 00:31:11.869 looking you can see a faint glimmer a sheen outline 00:31:11.869 --> 00:31:16.430 of a creature and it looks like something brushes 00:31:16.430 --> 00:31:22.589 these leaves away and then you watch as it the 00:31:22.589 --> 00:31:24.589 leaves begin the branches and leaves begin to 00:31:24.589 --> 00:31:28.470 shake violently and it and that motion rockets 00:31:28.470 --> 00:31:32.430 off into the distance through the canopy I don't 00:31:32.430 --> 00:31:38.720 want to sound like I'm being paranoid, but I 00:31:38.720 --> 00:31:43.000 think we might be in a predator situation. What 00:31:43.000 --> 00:31:49.140 in the hell was that? I don't know. I think the 00:31:49.140 --> 00:31:53.299 sign of the Aquila just double wings in front 00:31:53.299 --> 00:31:57.960 of my chest like, uh, shit. That is definitely 00:31:57.960 --> 00:32:03.900 something I never seen going west. It looks like, 00:32:04.559 --> 00:32:06.420 uh, like would I, would I know if it's some kind 00:32:06.420 --> 00:32:09.440 of like cloaking ability or would I know anything 00:32:09.440 --> 00:32:12.319 about that or would it just be some? You can 00:32:12.319 --> 00:32:15.819 reasonably assume that it's got to be some sort 00:32:15.819 --> 00:32:18.859 of camouflage or cloaking. Like, you know, you 00:32:18.859 --> 00:32:21.220 were looking in the right direction, but you 00:32:21.220 --> 00:32:24.740 couldn't see anything. I'm, uh, I don't like 00:32:24.740 --> 00:32:27.200 to brag, but I'm a pretty good shot and I usually 00:32:27.200 --> 00:32:29.319 hit whatever I'm shooting at, but I don't know 00:32:29.319 --> 00:32:33.769 if that thing had some kind of cloak. Camouflage 00:32:33.769 --> 00:32:40.549 or what? I know I'm not crazy. You guys saw what 00:32:40.549 --> 00:32:44.990 I saw, right? Yeah, but at the same time it didn't 00:32:44.990 --> 00:32:50.809 attack us though. I saw something. It ran off 00:32:50.809 --> 00:32:53.950 deeper into the jungle. I know that's the way 00:32:53.950 --> 00:32:56.730 we're supposed to be going, but if we're gonna 00:32:56.730 --> 00:32:59.190 run into whatever that thing is again, we might 00:32:59.190 --> 00:33:05.609 need to be better prepared for it. Yeah... What 00:33:05.609 --> 00:33:10.569 if we fill the sack full of sand? If we see it, 00:33:10.730 --> 00:33:13.450 we'll throw the sand on them? Or flour? Flour 00:33:13.450 --> 00:33:19.930 would probably be better. Could I... could I 00:33:19.930 --> 00:33:23.990 roll a... roll a scholar check? See if I would 00:33:23.990 --> 00:33:28.329 have known anything about that. Sure. Just... 00:33:30.160 --> 00:33:32.539 You know, just like, uh, that seems familiar, 00:33:32.740 --> 00:33:34.819 or I have never come across a report dealing 00:33:34.819 --> 00:33:36.920 with any of this, ever. Because I was thinking, 00:33:36.960 --> 00:33:40.220 oh, this is the part of the play where we get 00:33:40.220 --> 00:33:46.400 the surprise, Tyranids. This is actually a hive 00:33:46.400 --> 00:33:50.759 world. This is a secret hive world. Congratulations. 00:33:51.779 --> 00:33:54.660 It's, Nurgle has infected the Tyranids. Congratulations, 00:33:54.900 --> 00:33:58.220 Tyranids. No, it's not. You won the lottery. 00:33:58.440 --> 00:34:02.700 It's space across the head. It's Slaanesh. Slaanesh. 00:34:02.940 --> 00:34:08.719 All the Tyranids look like the car from... It's 00:34:08.719 --> 00:34:11.179 the car from Idiocracy. Everyone's got a giant 00:34:11.179 --> 00:34:16.480 floppy dildo on their heads. Exactly. Oh my god. 00:34:16.719 --> 00:34:19.500 I'm gonna exterminate us this whole segment then. 00:34:20.500 --> 00:34:23.539 Welcome to the jungle. Have a lictor. Exactly. 00:34:23.659 --> 00:34:28.440 Gross. We got fun in games. Yeah, I'll say for 00:34:28.440 --> 00:34:31.539 your scholar tests that that's gonna be no you 00:34:31.539 --> 00:34:34.639 you don't you don't you've never heard of anything 00:34:34.639 --> 00:34:38.860 That has poking in this region, you know of things 00:34:38.860 --> 00:34:43.099 that have poking but not specifically here I'll 00:34:43.099 --> 00:34:47.679 say with two successes There have been rumors 00:34:47.679 --> 00:34:53.980 of Increase like the increased dangers that like 00:34:53.980 --> 00:34:58.340 in the jungle so Maybe the two are connected. 00:34:58.739 --> 00:35:02.579 Maybe the jungle is just dangerous. Makes sense. 00:35:05.659 --> 00:35:09.139 I've never really heard of anything like that 00:35:09.139 --> 00:35:12.260 before, so we've got that going for us, which 00:35:12.260 --> 00:35:26.000 is great. And it knows we're here. Well, like 00:35:26.000 --> 00:35:27.260 I said, it didn't attack us. The only thing worse 00:35:27.260 --> 00:35:33.500 than a lictor is when it's not a lictor. I mean, 00:35:33.679 --> 00:35:37.599 I guess we keep going. We gotta go that way. 00:35:38.079 --> 00:35:40.059 I mean, whatever we find, we gotta go out and 00:35:40.059 --> 00:35:41.820 keep going anyway. We can't turn back and be 00:35:41.820 --> 00:35:44.320 like, we saw something scary. Just get executed. 00:35:44.699 --> 00:35:45.820 Yeah, I don't want to hear that now. Here, you 00:35:45.820 --> 00:35:47.239 guys will get executed, and then you guys send 00:35:47.239 --> 00:35:52.840 me back off to count flashbacks. Fair enough. 00:35:53.159 --> 00:35:58.940 All right. You guys press on? Uh, yes. Okay, 00:35:59.300 --> 00:36:03.059 first? Trying to be a little more aware since 00:36:03.059 --> 00:36:05.599 suddenly there's extra weird shit in the jungle. 00:36:08.360 --> 00:36:10.699 First, I want an awareness test by everybody. 00:36:12.619 --> 00:36:17.420 So, let me see. Alright, so we have... Yeah, 00:36:17.420 --> 00:36:27.440 no. Not that. Not that one!

You're keeping your eye out 00:36:40.239 --> 00:36:45.760 But squigs now your radio is being to pick up 00:36:45.760 --> 00:36:49.380 static and start popping and just as that does 00:36:49.380 --> 00:36:54.710 it Francisco You say you think yourself like 00:36:54.710 --> 00:36:57.010 what the hell is going on with the radios and 00:36:57.010 --> 00:37:00.849 all of a sudden you feel on your leg a little 00:37:00.849 --> 00:37:04.789 rope and it goes snap and You hear a creaking 00:37:04.789 --> 00:37:09.829 in the distance as a giant pointed log begins 00:37:09.829 --> 00:37:15.070 to fall down an arc at you and It's coming straight 00:37:15.070 --> 00:37:35.400 for you.

He literally 00:38:24.030 --> 00:38:38.360 trips and like falls I don't know if I can do 00:38:38.360 --> 00:38:40.579 that, if that helps my agility or something. 00:38:40.820 --> 00:38:45.980 I don't know.
