Let's get it.
Let's get it.
Let's get it.
Let's get it.
Let's do it.
All right. Let's do it. Alright. I'm going to get the We missed the cutoff on that one.
But that's okay.
Listen, we're gonna jump right into it.
Thankfully, we have the incredible Eli with our recap for this week.
So Eli, please, please take it away.
The COA, Cah-Uhane Field-Bog, number 396. Current location, Massachusetts, residential home of Virgil and Poet Lincoln status in
progress.
Fiving members of the organization, formerly known as Orpheus, continuing under the name
Crucible-12, have made their way to Boston through several research points
and an unfortunate informant. We rallied the name Virgil, his next of kin, Poet, and an address
to their home in West Baltimore. Virgil had an answer that could clear the names of the living
members, knowledge about a man named Duroff and his place amongst this mess. After a lengthy discussion on how to
proceed, we went with the knock on the door method, consisting of Livinia Viv and myself,
with a skin-logant attempting to find an alternative entrance. Mia and Collette are on standby in
case things escalate. The home was outfitted with level of security, fortitude, and organization,
whatever was on the inside
was preparing for a fight. Upon contact, we discovered Virgil and his team holding
out waiting for the inevitable. These men picked aside, and that side was again stir-off
who in his greed staged a coup d'état on next-world. Success brought the violence that took the lives of many at Orpheus.
Note, Duraav is a player in the game but not the head of the snake. Perhaps this bishop is, look more into it. Virgil agreed to give us a statement that we can use as evidence. In exchange,
we must help him survive the next few moments. Not long after our arrival, next world had finally come to settle things.
I hope that there was enough time to exchange the possibility of its outcome.
Personal notes.
I wish I could see a better future at this current point, but I cannot find one at
and I don't have the means to tell them that they'll have to hang on a bit more.
I only hope that I can lead through, lead them through it enough because I believe in them.
My two two ones told me that everyone paddles the canoe together, bales and paddles,
paddles and bales and the shore will be reached. We're going to get through this together.
the shore will be reached. We're gonna get through this together.
Beautiful, amazing.
And with that, when we last left off, the next world mercenaries were storming the home of poet and Virgil Lincoln. There was some confusion on my part on how numbers work. So I'm gonna try this again
There are 12 of them total
Four teams of three because four times three equals 12
So that's how that works. Yeah
Incredible math. Thank you so much. Of course. So
two teams are going to the front and two teams are going to the front,
and two teams are going to the back.
Now, Logan, with you keeping an eye out,
with your dead eyes ability, you recognize
that at least the two teams that you've seen so far,
or at least you've seen all four
because you saw two split off to go around the back.
There was one
projecting to living per team. So at least one per fire team who ostensibly can use horrors. Yes.
Is... how do I phrase this? With dead, am I able to see if anyone is like,
it's not possessing, it's skin writing. Skin writing.
If anyone's like skin writing any of the meat sacks.
Not typically.
So with the dead eyes ability, they would have to
either make themselves known through some other way
or actually vacate that body.
But you don't after kind of taking a moment,
what's your wits at?
Two, I'll give it to you.
Judging by the way these men are moving and dressed,
they're all civilian clothes,
but they're all also wearing body armor,
carrying rifles in the way they move.
They don't need to be skin-rid.
These are people who know what they're doing. Which is scary because now they are descending upon that home and you in there.
So we're not in an initiative yet but these, everybody, this is going to be a kind of a free turn
for everybody to figure out what they want to do and get ready for this assault because I do
believe you've called down to everyone. Yep. Okay.
What's the plan?
Yeah.
Media reaction is to assume that they'll be on us pretty quickly.
So I think Levinia will take a position close to probably one of the most likely entrances.
It seems like maybe I think she will go to like whatever window she suspects they might come out of.
Okay.
Is it?
Yeah, you, oh, go ahead, Collette.
Is it worth it for me and Poet to make a run for the car and get out of here before the bullet starts applied?
Do we think we could manage that before they see us?
Because I'm pretty stealthy, I don't know know about poet, but if we can make a run
Dive in the car and then peel out then you all can handle the whole mass murder
Couldn't you storm wind to the car I could but my body when it come with me
God ghost God told me I can't do that in corporeal point.
Um, also the, the team that we're with, um, you said two of
them are sleepers, correct?
Correct.
And they're going to drop bodies out here.
They, as you, as you kind of look around and take stock of what's
happening, you notice that they're taking bumps of pigment.
And oh, okay.
Nine-night. Yeah. First transmission, baby.
Just wild to think that we're all talking and three people just suddenly start doing
heroin a couple of feet away.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Everybody get ready.
She's going to get.
Like she's going to get stunned looking at that.
Like, oh, shit.
Yep. This is what they want you to do.
Yeah. I know. I'm very aware for you.
I've been to parties like this.
For you, Collette, looking around.
So the and as well for you to live in here, the two main ways in it out are gonna be a back door
that leads out from the kitchen to the back porch.
And then, of course, the front door that you all came in.
There are side windows, but with what Logan has told you,
you assume that they can probably have every corner covered,
it's gonna be tough to get out of there.
Yeah, I think Livinia would leave the front door available so she's not going to block it.
I think she might go to the back door and with her strength like I don't know I almost
want to like climb up into the corner of the wall or something in the ceiling but I don't
know if I can do that.
Oh fuck you, Livinia! You hulk out so much you are the wall or something in the ceiling, but I don't know if I can do that. Like, hold on to the middle of the wall.
You Hulk out so much you are the wall.
I don't have that much to say,
I've got stamina and I've got strength.
So, yeah.
But it means in that regard,
if it seems really hard to get out of this place,
is there any way I could do like a vibe check to see if it would be even a worth
the try to the car
Sure, yeah, you know what sort of knowledge. Yeah, let's do that. Let's go with wits plus
Let's do awareness
What's awareness? Okay, it's not a bad pool for me
Successes over five. Yeah. Over
five. Correct. Yeah. I have four
successes. Beautiful. Easy peasy.
Yeah, it would you would have to
without someone covering you and
causing these guys to take cover.
It's going to be really hard because you're gonna have to run past at least two teams that you could count.
And that's at least four guns pointed at you and poet.
So is it possible then
for you all to cause a distraction in the front
as soon as that pops off,
I'll run poet into that car.
I'll take a drive.
We're just, yeah.
That was kind of my intention,
but aren't we just gonna be blocking,
clogging the exit with like a bunch of bodies?
And yeah, I mean,
I mean, the other option is that I hide
or you have me pick up a gun.
Unless you can hold for me to whale the front door,
like free enough for you guys to make a break for it.
Okay.
Or I can do that.
And I can pop into my body and ask them from behind.
If we wanted to.
Can you get baby one before I turn around?
Yeah, that's the thing.
Is it the car?
That's where we go, but I don't know if you can.
Yeah, yeah.
Logan's body is on the car.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We could do something like that.
Random.
Random.
Random with the car or something. I could hit them with the car.
If they don't know you're in there, it's a surprise at least to keep the headlights off.
I call that idea.
It's cinematic effect.
Okay, turn it on.
Is that nice or is it in morning?
That's nice.
That's nice.
Okay, okay.
Yep.
Hey, but the only thing is I hit him with the car and I fuck the car up.
We're screwed
We've got 60 more seconds a plan
The house I can I can drive it
It's basically there it's basically driving
Parking lot so car
I don't think we need to crash the car. Let's just attack what will kill the most over guys which is the front
We got a video we get we're five
We have some one halted out we're fine. I mean I mean that's an option to is vinges hulks through the front door
And draw-
I don't know if I'm that Hulk, but I think I'm good for soaking damage and I'm good for drawing attention.
Vince, I can use unearthly repose on people who mean me harm, right?
Yeah?
Yeah?
Oh, I can only use it on other spooks, right?
Unless I manifest.
Correct.
I think we should.
Oh, I could also like calm them down with an earthly reposer to strike them with whist
form and then you all strike while they're looking at.
We want me to go down.
You just have to hold before until we have a clear opening.
Yeah.
Find out. Okay. The front door explodes inward.
Oh cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool. Yeah. Let's go by, not by a battering ram. It seems like
based on the sudden change of pressure in the room and the shower of wood and plaster is some kind of breaching charge, blows that door inward and off its hinges,
and like water, these men flow into the room, six of them total, led by the projectors.
The back door, another explosion, as another breaching charge is that's detonated and the next six flow in with that collette
your first up. What do you do?
I sing.
Yeah.
Can I look at you?
The safest place to drop my body?
Absolutely. Make, go ahead and make a perception or wits plus alertness.
Okay.
Four successes.
Okay. You could probably duck into a nearby closet or a little half bath.
Okay, so I'm going to do that. Get as low as I possibly can, you know,
whatever, and then drop immediately. Yeah, having been in some pretty sketchy situations
before you, you be lying for that half bath before bullet start flying and you immediately
drop into the tub and get fetal and, and you zero out. Okay. Now when ghost, that doesn't kill my turn, does it?
You can take another action.
Yeah. Okay.
I'm gonna zip into the front room manifest,
and then go immediately into unearthly repose.
Excellent.
Collette, you know, sifts through the wall, becomes corporeal, real, and then eliminates
entirely from being a human being, coalescing into this beautiful blue cyan light that then
combines and then dances into these like million different fireflies that then build the room blindingly.
And I'm going to spend five
vitality.
Oh damn, okay, that going.
Well,
Yeah,
yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It means the victim continues
following the whisp to
exclusion of all other
concerns,
including personal safety.
If stopped,
she fights to free herself to follow the light.
Even if she cannot see the light,
she walks in its general direction
until the whips chooses to terminate the effect.
Okay.
So it's a difficulty eight not to follow me.
Okay.
And I'll just stand,
sort of in Levinia's,
I wanna lay a trap essentially and I'll just stand sort of in Levinia's,
I wanna lay a trap essentially where I am just past
the big ass Levinia so that they are compelled
to follow into me and then go straight into Levinia's arms.
So for this one, for this effect,
it's mainly going to, the effect that's mainly gonna
take place is their initiative, your rating is going to drop by one so it's gonna drop down to a six. And it is going to add to the difficulty that's merely in a take place is their initiative drove rating is going to drop by one so it's going to drop down to a six.
And it is going to add to the difficulty of any violent action they try to
take against you.
Right, which gets raised by my vitality rating for indeed.
Okay, cool.
So five vitality is still going to make sense to expand here.
Yep.
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
Just want to make sure I wasn't overdoing it.
Definitely not.
Okay.
That is your turn. LaVinia. What do you do?
Lavinia is going to totally be in line with this plan
and come from, like, through these lights and stuff,
and just surgically.
She has no skill whatsoever in brawl or anything like that.
She just has a lead pipe for an arm and just starts smashing down on these guys, trying
to break collarbones and skulls and kneecaps.
She has the exteriority of two.
So she has two turns or one, yeah, two turns total or two actions total.
Okay, so I think I think honestly just two attacks
against these guys.
Okay, go ahead and so you're gonna do Strength Plus Brawl.
Yes, my strength set of five, so I'm rolling five dice.
I have nothing in Brawl.
Okay.
And five is a success?
Anything five and above, yep.
That's four successes. Beautiful. Okay, yeah, you
definitely land that first series of blows on the first guy through the door. Go and your strength
is five, you said? Yes. Yeah, he does. You do five damage and in fact, the first one you get your
hands on, it looks to be one of the projectors and you you see their gods start to rend as you just pummel the living shit out of this projector.
And it's almost like entire chunks of cotton
are just flying off of this thing.
Go ahead and make your second.
Lavinia is not a big person.
She has not like hulked out in the sense.
She's still exactly the same small frame.
So her little arms are just like slicing and dicing these people.
That love that.
That's three successes.
We're gonna go yeah go ahead and with that five you hit the you hit the one behind
them. This one living and you can kind of feel
a different sort of resistance as you bring it down onto flesh and muscle and
bone and something breaks something and in their collarbone just completely fucking pulverizes.
And they scream and pain and they actually let loose a burst of gunfire into you but it just kind of
goes through your form. And yeah, you did some damage there, so that's good.
He did some damage there, so that's good.
Yeah, that's awesome. Friendly's are up next.
So we've got a bunch of guys so bear with me.
Poet Linkin has one of these AK-47s with him
and he just opens up spraying on these guys
as they come through the door.
So with that, I'm gonna go ahead and roll for him
as Dex Plus Firearms.
So we're gonna do, yep.
Yep, he gets three successes
and with that damage, he does.
Oh, pretty good, seven.
Yeah, that one guy you hit,
his fucking head evaporates in a shower of bone
and brain and blood. One guy you hit, his fucking head evaporates in a shower of bone and
brain and blood.
As one of the bulls just right above that left eye and just takes off the top of the scalp.
And he drops like a marionette with its fucking strings cut.
Next up, and then he with that was the first first one and I think he did it on burst fire.
The other one gets catch as a bullet but he's still standing. So that's Poet.
Next up he's got Paul who is a haunt her. What is he gonna do?
He can go to the house and then grow legs and walk away.
Oh yeah no he's gonna do some witches and imbist action. Yeah, he's gonna let loose a charge of witches and imbist,
which I'm going to refresh myself on how that works.
So he's gonna spend about, yeah, he's gonna spend four vitality,
he's gonna hurl that shit and he does lethal damage
to one of the team manifests and deals lethal damage to one of the shooters in front of them.
And they almost like catch fire with this like crackling blue and purple light that he just lets loose. Next we've got Virgil who is a skin rider.
He doesn't have much in the way of abilities other than trying to possess what you know
from experience doesn't tend to work well with other projectors, but he does have juggernaut.
So he's going to take a swing kind of like Fallet, Levineas lead, and start taking swings. He actually goes to the back, because right now,
looks like everybody's focusing on the front. He turns and makes his way back into the kitchen
to start taking shots at guys, and he does... Yeah, he fucking hell, yeah, he crushes one of the projectors and just you see that
gauze go flying back there but not enough to take him out but it's enough to
leave a dent for sure. Next up we've got man. Another poltergeist so with poltergeist we've got congeal okay, yep
Vivo's this shit
he
One of the projector one of the poltergeists one of the sleepers turns both hands into these these bladed jagged frickin
just
Absolute instruments of death and starts slicing and icing
So let's see what he does absolute instruments of death and starts slicing and dicing.
So let's see what he does.
He does plus melee for this guy.
Oh, that's a critical success.
All right.
Yeah. And we let these guys do the work for us.
Honestly, can we have like a moral combat fatality, right?
Like a finishing.
Right. Yeah. Can we have like a moral combat fatality right? Like finishing like at this.
Right. Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Um, one of them, one of the ones who previously caught and
grazed by one of the rounds from, uh, poet, you catch is one of
those blades across the windpipe.
And there's just a shower of blood, uh, as they drop the hands
clunching at, at their now rendered neck. Um, and there's just the shower of blood as they drop. The hands clunching at their now rendered neck.
And there you go, that's fucking too down already.
I need to make this harder.
Yeah, okay, you're not doing it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's so cool.
Yeah.
And last but most certainly not least,
we have Steve Hill, one of the other poltergeists
kind of swing around to back up
Virgil in the back also this time one of his appendages turning into this giant fuck off hammer
And he actually he does miss he misses on this one no successes on that turn
But that's it for the friendly so we've've got two down, two in the front, which leaves you with four remaining,
four still standing, including two.
Okay, Jack, I'm sorry.
Mia, I believe you wanted to disseminate some PPUs.
Yeah.
Well, yes, as right now,
I think everyone is in spooky form
that's, or heading that way.
It's just better if I believe there was, you said there was like a couch, like I take cover.
Also, they had some really good guns nearby. Are they since two of them dropped?
It looks like they're not using them. I'll say the team or the defective mercenaries that
had taken shelter inside this home.
They had a Whitney of firearms with them.
You're able to quickly grab yourself a shotgun.
That's what I wanted.
Yep, perfect.
Okay.
Yeah.
So I'm going to probably hold up
in the front area for right now.
Okay.
Who is the closest one in near-me-fime
by the couch, like using that as cover?
These are pretty tight confines,
so you're gonna be able to nail at least one of the living ones, for sure.
Good, I would really like to.
Okay.
Take really in the upper region.
Love it. Go ahead and roll your Dex plus firearms.
Okay.
It's close to the eyeballs is possible right?
That's that that's that's the whole yeah, that's what I would like to do
That's a little squishy boys squishy
Wishy.
Uh, two successes.
Yep, that'll do it. Roll 8d10.
Okay.
She got enough Amanda.
I think I do.
Did. Wow. Okay. Oh, wow, okay.
There's a success, success, success.
Okay, okay.
Oh, yeah.
Fuck.
Math, hold on.
Sorry.
No, you're okay.
Everything above the five a five well this is
damage too right so no it's the number of successes you roll oh thank god okay
because they would have been paced then that would be five successes fuck Five successes. Fuck yeah, yeah, you Squeeze off that shot and there's this you all are fairly confident. You're not gonna hear anything for the next few days
That boom just shakes the fucking marrow in your bones and
You he catches some of that buck shot and he is not in good shape
He is as you all know, you know,
we're living people have eight levels of health and you just took away five so he's not doing so hot.
So there you go. You've got he's bleeding from the scalp. Blood is running into his eyes. He's screaming for a medic.
Can I tell I'm gonna say like this drop your weapon. No one will see if you actually does it.
Oh, yeah, no, he doesn't though.
Okay, that's what I figured.
Yep, but that's okay though.
It's nice try.
I'm with you.
So that's your turn, Nakoa, you're up.
Where am I in relation to the six coming from the back?
From the back, yep.
I'd say unless you decided on otherwise, everyone was kind of
sentry located in that center living room, so you could go either front or back.
Okay, then I'd like to hold off Yeah. Yeah. I'm the first one.
So just empathy.
Yeah, it's manipulation.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's three successes. Excellent.
Okay.
Yeah.
You wail and they, you,
you can see that even the living ones are affected.
You see some of the gauze go flying off this one projector in the front that Virgil has been hammering on.
And even a few behind him staggered
and you've inflicted, you said three successes?
That three successes?
Three levels of lethal damage to all of them.
So as a reminder, anytime you sustain lethal damage
as a ghost, you essentially lose twice
the number of vitality.
So, yeah, he's fucked up real bad, but that was good.
It's a good role.
Yeah. Yeah, you all listen.
You thought the shotgun blast was loud,
and then COA gets to a ribbon.
And that shriek just rougher.
Is that what it is? Is it a shriek?
Are you shrieking at this point?
Yeah, it's just a giant like yellow straight through like an almost like an impact shot. I think it's
gonna rattle the wood and everything around with their general area. Yes. Yeah. The glass and the
window panes is shaken. At least a little bit if you can see behind the sandbags, the
walls, yeah, this is good stuff.
Viv, what's your doing?
My hand is a nail gun, a pneumatic nail gun, and that's number one.
This is the action we came here for, yes.
I am going to spend four vitality.
The nail gun is flavor.
It's mechanically sort of a shotgun,
which means plus five,
bashing plus four lethal,
and I get a three shot burst.
So I got a bit going to do
aim her hand and then hit that little clip because you
can't, it's a, it's a safety nail gun. You have to hit a little clip first. It doesn't want you
shooting to the air. Okay, okay. And then fires three times into, if there's any baddies in the
opposite direction of the whale that just occurred. Okay, see, towards the front yeah you still got four standing. Yeah. I will aim, I mean we'll do one
in each huh and then one just sort of free one. Cool. Yeah whoever wants a little extra. Okay whoever
looks the sweetest out I won't shoot. I'll shoot everybody else. Spoiler none of them. Okay.
none of them. Okay. We close this then. Yeah, there we go. Um, that, oh, it's not any sweeties in the house. Any sweeties? One, two, three, six, six, six, six. All right.
If you, what is a crit? Is that all of them? It's a, no, a crit is a 10. Okay. I have two of those.
No, a crit is a 10. Okay, I have two of those.
Okay, yeah, that's a crit, yeah.
Okay.
Do with that information what you will.
Yeah.
So, I've rolled a six.
Get for damage on just on one die.
Yeah, right?
No, you have a four vitality large objects right full heavy revolver shotgun wore hammer, etc
damage dice pull
My god, okay, then I'll keep that six while I add
All right
Five successes six Six successes. One critical.
Yeah.
One of the projectors just fucking drops or just dissipates completely as one of those ghostly Ectoplasmic nails just rips through what's left of his gauze. It's in fact the one that Livini has been hammering on and just
Frickin takes him out. He
screams in that that scream just kind of
Fades off as their ghost just floats away like
God just like smoke on the wind
and
Then next you've got a couple of living dudes they take rounds like one in the shoulder shoulder, one in the leg, they're screaming, they're not looking right, they're fucked up.
And they kind of, it looks like they're looking to see one hit them, but of course it's your gauze.
And they don't see it, they're in human form or in their meat sack still. So yeah, that's a good run. Oh, and last but most
certainly not least, we've got Logan. Okay, so we've got three at the front, five at the
back. Yes. Okay. There's enough firepower at the front. I'm gonna, I'm gonna loop around to the back. And I think I'm also going to do a quail.
Ooh, excellent.
I have to look at it for a quick second
because I'm usually just human shields.
No problem.
Oh, a human battery, yup.
Yeah, I'm either a battery or I'm trying to punch people.
I'll do a four vitality whale.
Love it.
Um, I have to burn a willpower to get enough.
Okay.
So good to know.
I'm down to four willpower.
So you're only gonna have two vitality currently?
I had two vitality.
Okay.
And then I actually only have one vitality right now,
because I had put some in COA and VIN,
and then the role is,
I haven't wailed in so long manipulation of empathy.
Okay.
Two. That's a question. Yeah. I haven't wailed in so long manipulation of empathy. Okay, two.
That's a question.
Yeah.
Can I, if Logan is coming down towards where I am
to hold the back, can I use my forebode benefit
to lower the difficulty of their horror?
By two.
Absolutely, go for it.
So anything three are above now?
Yep, our four. Oh, oh, oh, oh,
I bless you.
Or four of them. Thank you.
Above three, four
were above. Give them
how? Okay.
Oh,
one, two.
Oh, that's all successes.
Five successes in total.
Damn. Okay. Yeah.
So thank you. I wouldn't have
been without you. So thank you.
Yeah. Um, that is, uh,
so there was six at the back still I miscounted, but that doesn't matter because now there's five.
Um, because another one of the projectors that just just fucking cannot withstand this onslaught of,
of energy and they just dissipate, um, and a couple more of the living one stagger back. So yeah, we've got yeah go ahead and Logan
Logan's gonna just kind of put themself toward the front in between Koeh and the rest of them. Okay excellent.
And then I'm also going to burn another willpower so I have four vitality now. Okay. All right. That's one.
So I was reading something real quick.
Okay. So far so good. Yep, yep, yep.
Let's see.
We will not let Koa's vision come true.
It cannot be.
In a way, it kind of is.
There's a lot of bodies, good-ish.
We still have our real.
We do it on our terms.
That is true. Exactly. He's not our real. He's still our real. We do it on our terms. It's the difference.
That is true.
Exactly.
Our bodies.
Deb, our chim.
All right.
Here we go.
Okay.
I'm not gonna get fucks, guys.
No.
No.
No.
All right.
I love my tally spent. Okay. Here we go. No, no All right, love I tell you spend okay
Here we go
So first up we've got one of the projectors well thankfully we only have a couple
At this point so cuz you took two out so far
one One of the individuals in the front, one of the remaining projectors blazes
with that same crackling blue purple energy as one of the friendlies had and is going to spend 4 vitality and hurl a blast of which is an
invistor directly for Lavanya.
It's almost point blank and that's going to be 2 successes so they do 4 levels of lethal
damage total.
Am I able to soak that or no?
You are.
You need to because so it's 4 levels of lethal lethal damage times two is eight that's eight damage here vitality double
That's right. So I added difficulty of unearthly repose. Yes
That's why they only had to that because they had two successes as opposed to yeah
The ability I have a stamina of five
so I can roll five dice to try to soak this.
Sure can, yep.
If there anything above five is success, I have three successes.
Okay, so, you soak, so that was four total, you had three successes.
Yes.
So one times two.
See, I only take two levels of vitality damage.
Okay, I'm at two, but I'm still up.
Okay, excellent.
One of the, these got these poltergeists love their congeal, and so the blade start coming out. And they go direct, one of them in the back goes for Virgil
and starts swinging. He thankfully misses,
but the one remaining Poltergeist in the front is going to
go after Collette, but
is gonna have a real tough time doing that with your unearthly repose active.
So, there is me as a lover.
Yes.
So let's see what they do here.
What is that light?
Yep.
Yep.
They get one success.
So it's enough to hit.
But they only do one level of bashing damage to you. So the only was one point of vitality.
All right now for the meat sacks. The meat sacks are going to start fucking shooting.
One of them lets lose Savali and it looks like they're actually aiming for
those that are living which aren't which, which is really just me, but me
is behind cover. So we'll see how they do. They get through. So they actually shoot
through the couch and with two successes there. It would been more of it, they rolled a couple ones. So with that,
for an assault rifle damage on that, the dice pole damage on that is going to be
eight. Oof, Oof, so yeah. Eight, D10. So that's only not in body
me and we have that's three successes so that'll bring you down so if you look
on your character sheet and you've got your health you go from you go your
bruise hurt you're now injured okay that's not the worst, guys.
It's not the best either.
No, I'm injured all the time.
You'll be fine.
Hey, stop!
Wee!
I am calm about it.
Well, sadly, this brings like flashbacks literally for me.
Who wasn't the fire?
Oh no!
So it's like...
Unfortunately, one of them opens fire on Poet
and actually succeeds with five levels of lethal damage
and Poet takes a hit.
Oh no.
And they are mulled brutally by this volley of gunfire.
Oh, shoot! they are mulled brutally by this volley of gunfire.
Oh, shoot!
Yep, and you've got more in the back,
and they open fire as well.
And in fact, on the prone,
they can kind of catch sight of the prone bodies
of the sleepers who are kind of propped up
in one of the corners.
Yeah, and they open up and they do four levels and three levels of lethal
damage, specifically against against their bodies.
So the bullets kind of rip into them, but they're still from what you can
tell up in it.
It looks like their spectral forms are still intact and still present.
But they have have they effectively taken seven levels of lethal damage or no?
One took four, the other took three.
Oh, gotcha, gotcha.
Yeah.
Yeah, so one popped one, one popped the other.
So with that, you're back to Collette.
Um. your back to Collette.
Okay, I'm gonna try for some weird shit. I'm just gonna announce that it's weird shit before I do it.
Love it. I love weird shit.
So part of unearthly reposes that they're compelled to follow me and at this level
It goes against their instinct of containing bodily harm
Is there one closest to the kitchen?
I'm looking I'm reading this right now
So they got to try to break the spell.
Okay, got it.
Okay, victim continues falling the whisk
to the exclusion of all other concerns,
including personal safety.
Yep, okay.
And to break it, they have to make a will power that is.
Five plus a number of vitality you spent,
which was four?
Yes, no, I spent 5.
I'm not shit.
Okay, so difficulty 10.
I'm damn.
But I'll be in there.
Okay.
And that goes for everyone in the room.
Yeah.
Okay.
But in specific, I'd like to see if I can go over
and turn on the oven, throw down the door,
and then sit on the burners and convince one of them to climb inside.
Inside the oven.
Yeah.
Okay.
I told you it was the weird shit. Listen, I'm
insulin retelling this shit. Yeah, insulin and girdling this shit. So I think we
established last session they have a giant baker's oven right? You can fit about
six guys. Hey, so be a plap and fit in one oven soak in there, right? Are you
conscious? Which one are you trying to cut? Are you trying to get somebody from
the front or somebody from the back? Whoever's closest to Mia, whoever opened fire on Mia. One of the guys in the front. Yeah.
They start, they did world zero successes on that and start kind of following you.
So I did think let sort of manifests from out of the whisk for a second,
those millions of energy balls become this spectral form of herself still manifested.
But only at the halfway point,
half of her body is still climbing out of that whist.
And she's like full on siren, full on Jenny of the woods,
holding them through.
And in his mind, he hears music.
But of course out here, we can only hear koas, screams, and the sound of gunfire and everything.
But for him, the world has focused entirely to the blinders
that brings collette to that oven.
Yeah.
He, his jaw is slack.
His rifle hangs loosely at his side as he follows you, his eyes glassy and
glazed and just fixated on your form. And just shuffles, can't even muster it seems, the strength
of will, to lift his feet more than a couple of centimeters off the ground and shuffles towards you.
And sticks his head into the fucking oven.
Shuffle's towards you and
Sticks his head into the fucking oven
Okay, cool. Yeah, I've just got to crank the burner for all intense purposes We're gonna take him off the off the the fucking board a little busy. These a little busy get baked
And then let's just gonna sit there, you know Chris cross applesauce on the top of the oven to make sure he
Yeah, he's not going anywhere.
He starts screaming though and you can smell it.
And let me tell you, there is no smell like the smell of burning flesh.
The fanfiction that's going to be written off of his app and Kalis going to be the star.
Oh my god.
It's the cottage core.
It's there.
It's in pie.
You have?
You love me so much, you'll stick your head in the fucking oven for me.
I'm great.
I'm right.
We all know Logan Wood.
But speaking of names begin with El,
Avenilla, you're up next.
I'm enjoying this combat.
I need to...
If I'm looking out the front door,
is there a clear path or men still blocked them?
No, there is a clear path at this point.
Okay, I see Mia get shot
and I can't have her take any more damage.
So I'm going to scoop her up in one arm
and I'm gonna basically like spend two actions
tackling my way through this space and getting her out.
Okay, we're gonna Superman now do it. Got it.
Yeah, but if I can manage to like maybe chuck somebody in
cool wall with my shoulder, I'd be willing to do that.
But I heard it's so good to be able to tell.
I mean, I've been willing to kick as well to give an extra
own stuff that gives him, like, you know, gives an extra
role. I'm all in.
What we're gonna do, like, so just do Strength Plus Brawl.
Since you're trying to strong arm your way through,
and we'll see how that works out.
That's four. One of them is the 10, four successes.
Fucking, hey, yeah, two successes from these guys.
Okay, yeah, you fucking bull rush your way through,
and you knock one of the
living off to the side and one of the remaining projectors off and they you
barrel right outside. Can I get to the threshold of the door within that one
action? Oh yeah, I'd say easily. Yeah, toss Mia out the door and then
return around and then and then sledgehammer the back of the head of the guy
closest to me.
Okay, yeah, let's go ahead. Well, let's see it's picking up Mia. Yeah, you probably would have sacrificed your action at this point.
Pick it up, but you got her out. That's fine. Okay.
The friendlies are up next. So I'm just gonna I'm just gonna make some rolls here.
Poet is fucked up but he's standing. He's got
at this point with the amount of damage he sustained because he's mulled. He's at negative 2
to his rolls. So we're gonna see how well he does.
Oh yeah, no successes on that one. He just, he tries to get off another round of fire at the few remaining at the front and
of course misses terribly.
But then up next we've got the Haunter who is going to take a swing at the remaining projector in the front with is, which is an
imbis active, that's gonna do some damage. It's gonna convert his melee damage
in the lethal, which can fuck up some gauze. So we're gonna go with that and
okay, two successes. So, and he does two two damage so that's four vitality yeah
they're not looking great so I'm kind of like talking to myself at this point
yeah yeah all right next we got our skin rider who's who is a juggernaut it up
and he's gonna take on the one of the guys in the back.
Go get him Virgil, what do we got? Success plus three damage. Okay. Not looking good and
clasp him, not least we've got two more poltergeists. They're gonna take swipes at.
two more poltergeists, they're gonna take swipes at...
Okay. Javier, one of the poltergeists that you know
and the other sleeper seems to have taken issue
with the fact that his body was shot
and so he goes for the guy who shot him
and starts essentially prison-shanking him
with one of his bleed of hands,
just fricking sewing machine and then his ass up and down.
He's not, he's still standing,
but he is bleeding pretty profusely.
It's pretty good, right?
The idea of an ass going through a sewing machine
really got me, just a booty,
just like a butt crack big like,
boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop.
Sorry, sorry
See you live a shot not what I meant not what I meant. Thank you for taking the piss out
It's not intentional taking the piss. It's me taking things literally
There's this this cascade of this dark red blood running down the front of his body at this point as he has opened up
The remaining poltergeist the, the one with the fuck off hammer, takes another swing at one
of the living dudes and belts him for about three levels of vassion damage and just brains
a shavon.
He's up but dazed, not looking great.
But Mia, you're up next and you're out front now. Question, did Liberty actually still toss me or am I still wrapped up in their arms?
Up to you, Olivia. I wouldn't have thrown her to hurt her. I probably would have
like almost like you know if she's in a if her stomach is facing down I would have
kind of flipped her up so that she would have laid her down. Fire minkry. I would totally love a fire minkery.
But we will say we face to face or in my like ass fate. How's this working?
Oh, fire minkry is over the shoulder.
Yeah, that's right. We're over the shoulder.
Yeah, yeah.
If it's over the shoulder, then I would have basically kind of like tossed her under her feet.
Right.
Okay.
Okay.
right okay okay warning next time and I'm gonna aim the shotgun that I still have and I'm just the the person that shot me are they still in the ground was at the
one out of three uh no they're still up I'm going for that. I'm shooting. Got it. Go for it. I'm pissed. I'm gonna piss.
Next plus, uh, arms.
Shockens are amazing.
Yeah!
Let me success.
Okay, I got two.
One's a critical.
And I have a one, so it takes away one.
So.
So, one success
Could it be one critical you could take the other successor way no success is a second. There we go
Yeah, go ahead and roll 8010 for your damage. I'll take it
And we just combine my successes and make it critical. That's that's a new one
and we just combine my successes and make it critical. That's a new one.
Yeah.
I mean, that's not the worst question ever.
You can have one crit success or how many success
did you roll total before the one?
I had three.
No, no, no, I'm sorry.
I had a critical and a one.
So tech isn't critical to successes technically?
No, this is a vampire.
This is the real vampire rule.
Where if you get doubles in the world? Oh, my getting vampires mixed up. But no, so this is the old vampire. This is the old vampire rule. Where if you get doubles? Oh, am I getting vampires mixed up? So this is the old world darkness. So I think one 10 counts
to critical. One 10 is a critical. It's in vampires that two 10s. There you go. Got it. So I do have
a critical. That's like, let's drop the, I think we're breaking one. I keep the one canceling. One
cancels out the other success. So if you only have a 10 and a one you have a nothing
Yeah, but if you have a 10 or one and a success, then you have a critical
Thank you. Thank you Caleb. Yes, that's Willie Wonka. I'm a fucking you get nothing
What a you
Drinks
So you get nothing.
So I get nothing.
You miss.
I'm fine.
Wait, if I had two successes and a one,
so you had one success?
Oh, no.
No, Mia just had a 10 and a one.
Mia, say the numbers you have.
Well, you mean the bulls that I have.
To say them all.
Did you remember?
I used them. OK, snack. Thank you so much for giving me the credit to think that my brain has
I am so sorry to disappoint
No, I do remember hold on this could be played bad later on but fuck it
I remember a critical and I had
Yeah, cuz I had one one.
So a 10.
And another success.
A one.
So it was, I'm sorry, it was a six and a 10.
And then I had a one.
So it's a critical.
We have one success.
So yeah, we have one.
What critical success.
One crit success.
It's like a while there folks, but we got there.
That's important.
It's a good one. It's a good match.
It's a good match.
It's a good match.
A good match.
A good match.
A good match.
Now you can roll 8d10.
There we go.
So I actually did the, so this match, I only have three successes.
That's enough to, that's enough to ventilate them.
I'm going to go it because I'm a little mad. So the one remaining, so the one remaining human mercenary in the front is now fucking
paced, leaving you a projector there in the, at the front.
But you still got a good number in the back there.
Um, with that, the coa, you're up and you're in the rear, uh, holding off the rest of this
team as they, as they make their way in.
Yeah, they are.
Thank you so much for saying it. I got to pick my words better.
You can pick them. You still thought them up. That's right.
The way. We'll find a way.
It finds a way. I guess I want to keep defending this line, hopefully, that we can work to get poet out, but I think
every blow of the culmination of people still there is the biggest threat.
So, I'm going to expend the vitality to get my, or expendable power to get my vitality
back up, and then I'll do another four vitality whale.
Excellent.
Empathy plus manipulation.
Please, and thank you.
Three successes.
Okay, alright. Yeah, so you do, I believe, three levels of damage against these guys, and it's lethal because you spent four, right? Yeah. Yep. Yeah. Not looking good. And it bypasses armor.
And so yeah, they are.
Oh God, yeah, they're fucked up.
I just want to kind of keep pushing them back.
You know, like I'm taking a step and they're taking a step back.
Every time I use this,
you're definitely pushing them back.
Steadily out back the door that they they they came through.
I almost said fucking penetrated, I'm glad I did.
What's going on with you today?
Oh, man.
They're the Europe with the nail gun.
The two that shot at Mia in the couch,
how are they doing and where are they?
One's in an oven and the other's fucking paste.
Yeah.
That feels good.
Then I'm so is there anyone else that's in a body in the room that's alive?
In the back of the house.
Three at the back of the house.
Perfect.
I'm going to.
Interesting. I'm going to interesting.
Um, I probably wasn't back to this and be like Vince got all the like,
he lost track of everybody who was dying and everything and I'm like,
I'm gonna give a fuck. We're just having fun.
This is so fun.
If we've got three in the back.
Vampire's flashbacks.
What's that?
I'm getting vampire flashbacks. Yeah. Can I... is there a kitchen
between us? Do they have to come through a kitchen of some sort? They're in a kitchen, so the
back door actually opened into a kitchen. Lovely. Then I'm going to spend three vitality for Helter Skeletor.
Okay.
Which is your vitality looking?
It's fine.
I'm going to burn once so I get five at the end.
But I'm just going to have some sort of be our guest moment
and have three forks just sort of be parked into their next.
If that's all right
Of course it is great. Let me see what damage we can roll for that
Because I believe in order to manipulate them first like to your attack rolls essentially going to be
probably like decks plus
They're melee
Yeah They're melee. Yeah.
Right?
It's strength or decks.
This one is, yeah, decks plus melee, which is a score I have for sure.
There is a score.
There's a score you have.
For the weapon, we'll probably go with something suitably.
Let's go with like a knife, which is, which knife which is the damage is going to be your
strength plus one. Okay, yeah.
Fuck yeah, one of these living guys catches a fork right in the carotid and
drops just because you don't know how hard you hurled that thing and they
could even hurl something that hard but it buries itself up to the frickin
like halfway point and his neck. Um, and he just need drops.
He's back on the menu.
The other works are just like spilling around.
Love that.
That's okay.
All right, Logan, you're up.
Okay.
I can I I've lost track of who the fuck is where?
Sure.
So we have a witch's nimbus guy out front who's fucked shit up?
Yeah, then
Yeah with Vin we have
What how many living people are up front again?
Zero they're dead. So it's just witch's nimbus bitch. Yeah, and the back has two
two
Poltergeists polterge, and how many meat sacks?
Two. Two meat sacks, two poltergeists.
Yeah.
Which is an ambister what we got.
See, we have five total left.
Okay. And are the anybody hurt in the back?
Some, some are injured, right?
Yeah, the sleepers sacks are bleeding profusely
from the gunshot wounds.
And Virgil has had some gauze taken out
but he's looking okay.
He's looking like he can withstand a few more hits.
For sure.
And how it's like on last breath.
Poets fucked up.
Yeah, he's not dying, but if he takes
another hit, he could be in real bad shape. FYI, I don't think poet is a priority. I think
virtual was the person to be left alive. Listen, Labinya, some of us like when the good people live,
damn it. We don't super need poet.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Oh, I think so.
I think so.
I think so.
I think so.
I think so.
I think so.
I think so.
I think so.
I think so.
I think so.
I think so.
I think so.
I think so.
I think so.
I think so.
I think so.
I think so.
I think so.
I think so.
I think so. I think so. I think so. I think so. I think so. I think so. I think so. I think so. I think so. I think so. I think so. I think so. I think so. I think so. I think so. I think so. I think so. I think so. I think so. I think so. I think so. I think so. I think so. I think so. I think so. I think so. I think so. I think so. I think so. I think so. I think so. I think so. I think so. I think so. I think so. I think so. I think so. I think so. I think so. I think so. I think so. I think so. I think so. I think so. I think so. I think so. I think so. I think so. I think so. I think so I get that if everyone of his companions survived. And we need to be more of there, especially if you're here.
Exactly.
Okay.
We are the emotional people living.
We are the emotional people living.
Okay, exactly.
Just think fast and furious.
It's all about the family.
It's all about the family.
Okay, okay, okay.
I have more questions before I make my decision.
I'm not the flak I'm gonna do.
Sure.
Okay, okay, so we have, okay.
All this in love is just gonna ask somebody, watch.
I'm thinking about it.
So we got Steve and Javier and Virgil and Poet out front.
Poet, so Poet is in the living room,
focusing on the front.
Okay.
Or was before everybody got pasted.
So in the front, you've got Levinia, Mia, Poet,
and the one remaining Haunter.
Okay.
In the back, you have got Virgil, Steve, Javier,
and then,
Koeh, Viv now,
Collette sitting on the stove with the gingerbread man. Right.
And like the three meat sacks,
or the two remaining meat sacks,
and then two poltergeists from the look of it.
So the meat sacks are in the kitchen.
They are in the kitchen.
Okay, the meat sacks of the people who zoomed out of their bodies,
who's looted themselves and got out of their bodies, where are they?
Steve and Javier?
Yes.
They're in the living room.
Bless, thank you.
Okay.
So, which is Nimbus bitch is out front?
And he can hurt anyone not just ghosts, right?
Correct, because he's manifested.
Okay.
This isn't a really good map.
This isn't really a map.
This is a really good map.
This isn't really a map.
This isn't really a map.
This isn't really a map.
This isn't really a map.
This isn't really a map.
This isn't really a map.
This isn't really a map.
This isn't really a map.
This isn't really a map.
This isn't really a map.
This isn't really a map. This isn't really a map. This isn't really a map. This isn't really a map. This isn't really a map. name bitch also. What is an image? Wish is Nimby?
That's more than one.
Well, there are more than one.
Because there's about to be three.
Logan, seeing all of these people catch fire
and this person who has done such significant damage to Lavinia
is gonna start running straight at the Witches Nimbus guy.
And as they go, their gauze starts to turn from like a smoky
kind of watery texture to almost kind of like an inferno
blazing behind them as they rock it toward the guy that is Witches Nimbus.
And I'm going to, for the first time,
try to use Witches Nimbus.
Hell yeah. I love it. I love it. I love it.
Here we go. All right, so with this,
is this a fair narrative point for us Vince?
Absolutely.
Okay, I wanted to make sure I wasn't
fucking around too much.
I also just needed to know who was where
You don't really have to make a role
So let's see
Yeah, you could just spend three vitality and essentially do three levels of lethal lethal damage automatically at anybody touch
Yeah, I think I think I
Yeah, I think I think I think Logan is gonna in classic Logan fashion burn too bright too hot too fast. Love it.
And hit four vitality without really intending to which means I'm gonna burn into their willpower. But Logan, as they go, like the speed of them running kind of ignites, you know how like
you blow on a fire to pull it up more. And I think just the speed of them running kind
of builds this fire behind them. And they just form tackle this other witch's nimbus
person and they collide in this like bonfire basically.
Love that.
I'm totally cool taking damage, obviously.
Yeah, you do take three levels of lethal damage,
so three times two is six, so you lose six vitality.
Okay, one, two, three, four, five, six.
So I've got a solid three vitality left at all.
How many will power do you have?
I have one will power left and three vitality. So I technically have six vitality. I will tell you're laughing and everyone's serious.
Yeah, because because that doubles. I mean to take sex Why no I took I took the six. Oh, I took I know I took the six so I have I have six in total left
I think I have burned the fuck out of this motherfucker. You scared the shit out of me. Okay. No Logan's not that stupid
Well, no, that's live there. They are that stupid, but I'm not that stupid
There is this. You're gonna fly, I am.
Yeah, there is this scream that you don't even realize
you're letting out as you, it's of both rage
and just unbridled fury and pain as this electric fire
just courses through your gauze.
If you were in your body, it would be like every nerve ending on fire simultaneously.
But being that you are not in your body, it's like every fucking surface of your form is just burning at this time at this point.
But you do realize that your scream is joined in chorus by that of the man beneath you and
His gauze is completely rendered by the force of your of your nembus and he is gauze fades
Disappades
fucking cool. Ow, fuck, ow. With that, we are up to the remaining next world mercenaries, beginning with the two poltergeists who are going to be taking swings at the other poltergeists,
as well as Virgil Lincoln, our Juggernaut, our skin writer. Sorry. So I'm gonna start making some
rolls and we're gonna see what happens, kids. Buckle up. All right. So goddamn. Yeah, Virgil takes
takes five levels of lethal damage total. You see some of it heal, implying that maybe he's tapping into a little bit of his own willpower to stay up and in the fight. But you can see chunks of
his gauze just being ripped and rendered asunder and scattered as it dissipates
around him as this Polar Dazs is slicing and cutting into him.
The next one is going to take a swing.
I actually love Vinnie, not Levinia, at Collette sitting on the stove, all calm, with the and that is going to be one.
No successes.
They rolled a 10 and then a one
canceled that out.
So Collette, you kind of you
kind of feel them coming and you
duck just enough for the hammer.
This this gauze hammer to collide
into the wall next to your head.
But that leaves the meat sack mercenaries to open up and unfortunately
you watch as Steve suddenly vanishes as his he just dissipates as a folly of gunfires fired into his chest and a final bullet and it was
head. Javier likewise is looking like he's having a very difficult time keeping
his form together as his body withstands another three rounds, three rounds of
damage. But with that, their turn is over because you're killing everybody and so collect you're up
I can just like rip back into my body, right? Sure can okay, but you'll take a level of bashing damage
I believe
Not not to kill me right no not enough to kill me. Let me let me see. Let me check
It's just what if you snap back is just one just want to be bruised
Yeah, I do it literally every time
This is true. Yes, you know, yeah
Wait quick question Steve. I know Steve died
But the human side of him died is the ghost ghost still there? No, the ghost had moved on
Got him. Yep, that's quick
I am going to meet and go back to my tight tight body
Climb out of the bath and my
climb out of the bath. And my hope here is to stealthily move across the room, get to poet and drag him towards the car away from the frame.
Love that. All right, I'll say you're able to, you snap back into your body, you take
that level of bashing damage, see your bruised, nothing awful, but I'll allow you to get to try to get to Lincoln and or to Poet and to stealthily get him out.
So for you, because we're kind of combining two different things here, we're combining a little
bit of strength, a little bit of stealth, let's do, let's do strength plus stealth. Okay.
Okay.
Three successes. Yep, good enough.
And he's with it enough to be of some assistance
and kind of wraps an arm around you
and kind of lips with you out towards the front.
Okay, cool.
We're gonna go for the car.
And if I can get to the car inside the car,
that's where I'll be in the driver's seat.
Okay, real quick, make a perception plus
where this one is.
Oh no!
Three successes.
You hear sirens.
Well then, if I have enough in the turn,
well, me is right there, right?
More towards kind of like on that front porch. Well, Mia's right there, right?
More towards kind of like on that front porch.
Yeah, Lavini is out there.
Okay.
We're gonna call to Mia, because Mia's really the only other meat here.
Hey, get in the car we gotta go.
Silence.
This is it.
Already hop-skipping.
Oh.
And then it's my interpretation that as soon as is me is in there. I'm gonna drive away
Okay, he's enough
Right with any a euro
So the only other bodies that matter to me in there would be Virgil
Virgil just he's just a spirit, right?
Or a...
He's a skimmer.
Or a skimmer, okay.
So he does have a body.
I think it's maybe worth the trouble of trying to get him out.
So I will spend my two actions if I have to going back in, grabby him and trying to get
as close as I can to the card to get outby him, and try to get as close as I can
to the car to get out with him.
With his body?
With his body.
Okay.
His body is up on the second floor.
Then Virgil's saying, I will yell into the house time to go, and I will make my way to
the car.
Okay. Well, the car is gone at this point.
They've already sort of leaving.
Where I thought Mia wasn't in it yet.
Because Mia is in the car.
I was going to see it. I know it wasn't my turn.
Exactly. But my attention was to run towards it.
Yep. Good boy.
But you'll start making your way towards the car.
Okay. It's pretty noticeable. I'm walking towards the car.
I love you, it's Ian.
Roll intelligence plus law for me, live video.
Okay, standing by, just wanna check,
because I think I have law,
but as usual, there we go. We got two in law.
So that's, there we go.
That's three successes.
Okay.
The cops are coming.
They already have reason to look for you
because of the whole, you know,
orpheus thing that you're connected to.
This will give them more ammo to chase you even more.
Yeah, that's true.
I mean, I guess I spend my turn trying to reason out what to do next.
Like, I might even say to Mia, like,
they're coming, running will make things worse.
Maybe one of us needs to say behind. I'm not really sure
of Sergio the player knows what to do, but if it's going to make a bigger fuss than we might as well.
Actually, because I can involve people if someone had to be arrested, I think I would have a
better shot than because I can just call
Potentially, I mean here's a thing. Did anybody really do anything illegal here other than the guys that are lying dead on the floor?
Well, there's a the big ass shoot out. I'm sure that hit one noise complaint. I did put a dude in an oven
In self-defense
You didn't we don't know you did it. I'm gonna need a saw for that one.
There's a lot of things working in ghost world. I actually think this might be good for us like we'll be able to you know stand in a positive light that we saved as many people as we could
and these dudes just attack the house. If Vin is telling me not to drive the car, then I'm just going to sit there.
Yeah, I think we just ex-fill everybody, but we get to a safe distance.
So that leads to the cops.
With Vin telling me to do that, I'll still wait for me up, but the intention now is not to drive away, but instead to park somewhere where the assault rifles can't get me.
Perfect.
You know, like a house down or something like that.
I want to yell into the house, try to keep somebody alive.
OK.
Speaking of which, it's the friendlies turn.
So Virgil goes to work on the projector.
He's been kind of going toe to toe with.
And manages to completely fucking destroy what's
left of his
gauze. And that projector is now down. The other two go to work on the remaining mercenaries
and one misses but one does a couple points damage, he brings him to immobilized. So he's
on a negative five. He's not quite incapacitated yet, but he's fucking close. And so that brings us now to
Nakoa.
Or Mia. Mia, sorry Mia.
Well, the thing is to keep someone alive to show for evidence.
Should we take one?
Lastage? Oh, LaVidia? Should we take one? Lastage? Oh, LaVidia? Should we take one?
Okay, um
Can you just like I was gonna like can you just like hog them really tightly? I can on my turn
Well, we have an idea now
I can on my turn.
Well, we have an idea now
Amazing Did you mean type stay out of the firing rate? I'm I'm whole I'm gonna just hold the action a little bit around because I feel like I'm
Just hold any right action
Beautiful Koeh you are up
So who who is left alive?
Cuz one one projector and two mercenaries.
And how much time left do we have with the sirens closing in?
Two to three minutes.
That's a long time.
In game terms, yeah.
I mean, considering this this whole engagement has probably been many five minutes. Yeah
Shit probably like to
We want to keep people alive
I keep people alive because what I do does not keep people alive.
Um, no, I do.
Well, no.
Yeah, whale can, can, can, can sue the calm, right?
Yeah. So that's what I'm going to do.
Instead of, instead of wailing them very loudly.
I am going to use whale instead to try to convince the remaining people to stand down and wait
for the cops to arrive.
Because there's no way out of this except through violence.
And next world is not going to save you once they come and, you know, was the cops arrive here?
They're going to leave you out to dry.
So, do you really have loyalty to Duraav?
Or were you just doing that out of fear?
And you could help, you know, help a lot of people out of this time, not allowed to rob to keep doing this. All right, roll your manipulation plus empathy.
Asila was saying that their hat was covering their eyes,
it looked like an anime character kind of.
This is the last, like, cherry cool.
You really want to do this.
Now, I've trained my whole life for violence.
I'm so sorry, I have to do this to you. It's raining five successes but two of them were
tens. Oh fuck yeah okay. Let's fucking go. The two remaining meets Axe and people get in eat it on you. Stop fighting, we don't have to do this.
They're rifles drop to their size.
And with that, Viv, you've got the one remaining projector.
I'm gonna mail them to the house.
Okay. Go ahead and roll.
Thanks.
Thanks.
You only needed some, not all.
Okay, work.
That's the three successes.
Okay.
Which rolled that beautiful damage.
I need to make a crucifix out of them on the wall.
There's gauze. Well, there will be four, there will just be four nails.
Okay. If I rolled three successes, remind me of how many dice I have to roll. That's... Oh, so if you roll three successes, so it's the baseline damage for your nail gun as I believe
eight, nice pull-vade. Right. Yes. Yes. So, 80-10.
Okay. Okay, wait, I just roll... And then the number of...
The number of... Yeah. So I roll three successes from the 80-10 and then what do I add to that?
Oh! Oh that's just the number of damage you did. Okay, great.
Okay, three lethal damage. Okay, great. Yep. Which is enough. Which is enough to- so tell- so
you know what described to me how you can nail this dude to the wall? This is the man in the living room.
I think the kitchen has been cleared out, yes.
One remaining projector in the kitchen.
In the kitchen.
OK, then I think I just hit him like quick one, two, three,
like one of these shoulder and one in the center of the head.
And it is next to a live laugh love sort of portrait wall.
And as I, yes, one goes through the live laugh love falls from the wall.
And this person replaces it.
And that's yeah. Yeah.
As you, as you drive that final nail in, and there's the clatter of the
live laugh love, Hobby Lobby signed clattering to the kitchen tile below. The
gauze just seems to just become more liquid and essentially almost
drains and while behind it until there's there's nothing remaining and with that I think it's a good place to take a break as we
have wiped out this fucking next-world team save for the two meets Zack
setters so remaining I forgot how powerful a crucible of six could be you
don't recall how we like immediately wasted that bad guy from last the you know, you know, that's that's on me. That's on me 1.0% 2.0% 2.0%

and fluidly.
It was fun.
It was fun.
It was fun.
It was fun.
It was fun.
It was fun.
It was fun.
It was fun.
It was fun. It was fun. It was fun. It was fun. It was fun. So, in this house of death, that smells like burnt meat, gunpowder, blood, and the
voided bowels of the recently deceased. We, as our ears are still ringing, some of
us can make out the sounds of approaching police sirens.
Close enough to where if you were going to leave,
it would have to be now.
You have Virgil who's turned to his body,
as well as Steve, who has, or Javier,
who has snapped back to his,
and has taken care is
essentially trying to resuscitate the body of Steve and
Oh it
I think it behooves us to stay it looks good in our favor
Yes, I don't know how any of this shit looks good, but I'd trust you, Ben.
I mean, we'll try and take the guy out of the oven first, but if this can go well for
us, I mean, we got evidence.
Now we can say that we were being chased, that we were the victims and all this, and how
they might even have to believe us this time.
Well, me is going to point to the gunshot moves on it and like,
well this is good, Ed.
This does go in our favor.
Buzz.
I was gonna say is if Virgil's talking, I'm gonna ask those...
You have cameras, right?
We did yeah
Okay, then we have we have our confession and we have tape of everything that happened
We can expect it to want to do it. It works until it doesn't
Yeah, they can we can expect for them to detain the livies. So I think that we just have to go with them and we need to be on guard because
they could send another squad. Yeah, yeah, my biggest concern is that whoever they take us to
might be working with, you know, the private military court, but that's, that's the big guy. I mean, that's the thing we have to worry about but you don't really have a chance
With or without them so we might as well take a gamble that maybe the US government has our back for just this once
well should
how about
one
Where maybe you and Logan can be in hiding and we keep your location quiet.
I don't think it's throwing you to the dogs.
No, I'm already. I want to need to get something for this.
I mean, I have first aid stuff in the car.
If we feel like running.
I don't know what it gains us besides for we can be detained
and I do we have enough to be detained in a hospital and if you run it's conscious
of guilt they don't know what we haven't done yet let's just set it out.
Perfectly with first aid. I'll follow, I'll follow what you guys think. I'm just
muscle here. Vince. Yeah. The guy I subdued with whale. What's he doing right now?
Am I still have like influence over him? Yeah, between you and Collette.
They're kind of zombieed out.
Because they'll collette with the unearthly repose
then you with the whale further nullifying their more aggressive emotions
or just kind of present.
Then I want to go up to him and I wanna ask him,
what were you supposed to do as soon as you've completed
this mission?
Where were you supposed to go?
Return to next world headquarters.
And answer back to who authorized this?
Derov?
Derov and Tyler.
What else are you guys up to, I'm planning? White belt the rest of the Orpheus survivors. Any defectors?
That's all I know.
What did you gain by doing this?
A paycheck.
Is that it?
They can tell that to the police regardless.
I'll probably come back into the house and try to strong our mouthside.
When Nicole was doing that, I, um, I don't, I don't know, because this is backpedaling,
but early is going forward.
Me is going to record that because that was good info.
Okay.
Is, is there anything we can do to send back the next world?
I mean, they're going to send another team, right?
Could we get these fuckers to, you know, send them as is that we're dead or something?
Anything that will be the next world off our backs? Tell them to call it in, tell it in mission success. That's it.
By his time.
Virgil kind of looks a little bit like he's going to use them. Verde will kind of look at you, Levine says.
This might be enough to put the nail in the coffin.
Get some federal law enforcement attention on them.
Dura obviously, I'm going to have any place to hide.
Okay.
This is good.
Well done.
Do you have like a pair of hearing cups or something we can put this guy in.
So there's two actually you've got two of them.
I absolutely did it.
Italy have handcuffs.
Not going to do a Ferric Ambrum.
Ferric oil hands hands hands you a packet of zip ties. Zip cups.
I take the Flores and Pink Hand Cuffs from Mia and all the
cuff one of them.
Perfect.
Yeah.
Pat it for his comfort and your closure.
Logan's going to zap back to their body.
Okay.
And just kind of lay in the back of the car for a second.
You're the first one then to see as these multiple squad cars squeal to a stop
outside of the home,
and
four police officers rush up to the door, guns drawn.
I don't wanna surprise these stupid motherfuckers.
Can I keep the situation cool and calm and collected?
Yeah, absolutely.
There's no one can see me.
Collette adopts a form that she knows well
from being arrested as many times as she has.
She immediately goes to her knees, hands up,
head down and waits.
Perfect, yeah.
Yeah, we'll follow suit. Okay. Whatever you guys do,
don't reach for the guns. They hate that. In the interest of time, we'll say that everyone is
rounded up and taken into custody. Mia, you are given medical attention and will by a nearby ambulance.
The police essentially don't interrogate you on scene. They bring you back to one of the
Baltimore Police Department precincts. And you are segregated. Unfortunately, there are not enough
interview rooms for all of you. So a lot of you
are left to stew and kind of public holding until you're brought in one by one.
Can we start Levinia goes with them like just as a protection?
Absolutely. Oh, that's right. Yeah, because you're not all you're all living. So really they just arrest Logan and Collette and Mia and Virgil and Poet and
Dust and who's the one I said died again? Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve it up, but the ghost, yeah, you can absolutely follow with.
And eventually, oh, go ahead.
I think I would just make sure that at least one of us is with each pair or each person.
I love that.
You go with me to the hospital with anything.
Okay, yeah, they mea, you're definitely brought to the hospital with that gunshot wound.
So what level are you currently at mea?
I am oh shit. Yeah
I am injured injured. Okay
So it's gonna take one week to recover from completely
Yeah, but I was shot that makes you were shot you were shot
Mechanically, I'm also technically injured from popping back to my body. Oh, that's true. Yeah. Oh, you're injured too
Technically, yeah
Amazing amazing just just just on a technicality. I'm a little bit hurt
Okay, I'll get back to you all with the roles on healing and first aid and the like.
But we'll start with, I should start with Logan this time.
You're in the interview room with a, who's with Logan?
Spear was.
Viv.
Okay. Viv is with you Logan
And you are really hard not to stare at the corner where Viv is hanging out. So look at me. Just look at me
You're here. Just look forward. Just here
Yeah, yeah, for sure for sure and so I'm guessing I'm guessing the video is with Collette then yeah, and
Co is with Mia, so we'll kind of do this around Robyn's style.
Logan, you're being interviewed by two
Baltimore detectives, Torrance and Smith.
And they essentially just, so it tells
what happened in that house.
Twelve people...wait hold on I don't have a lawyer. I'm not gonna tell you anything.
The phone. No!
There you go. Which is how Logan says that loud love that to everybody while you're up. I don't
Okay I've always been told you don't say anything without no
You're not gonna know
Don't know we kind of need them to know things because this is we're trying to cooperate. Yeah, we're kind of trying to cooperate
The video can be your lawyer
Actually, I have a look at it's staring at a corner like two dots in the law.
Yeah, Zach.
I have two dots in the lawyer.
I say, yeah, real quick, let me just Kenny.
I'm probably.
Yes, you don't have to tell me anything.
You just and don't eat or drink anything.
I said this earlier to Collette, I hope we should remember. You just and don't eat or drink anything.
I said this earlier to Collette,
I hope we should remember us.
I don't put your fingerprints on anything,
but we do want them to know that we were there
with next world that we got attacked by them.
That's it.
Oh, so I can tell, so I can tell that.
So if you could just say next world of bunch,
what are you talking to?
What are you talking to?
Cause that's myself, I'm talking to myself.
Thinking, look, look, people thought you're so full of thoughts.
And just drop next world as much as you can.
It's not like I'm trying to get you
or say it.
You know, next world.
No, you don't just say next world.
Yes, we know next world.
They're one of those other spooky ghost firms, right?
Yeah, they're in there we
Next world next world
Next world came after us
Okay Maybe you guys they stop mouse
They okay, so fucking there were there were there were be clear, are you waving your right to legal representation?
Uh, no.
Well then I can't talk to you, because we gotta get you a lawyer.
Well fuck, I don't know, I've never done this before.
Okay, you have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say can will be used against you in a court of law.
You have the right to an attorney.
If you can't afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you by the state of Maryland.
What is this exhausting? Yes, yes. Do you want a lawyer? So yes, a real question.
Darden, I over to Viv. I technically you have one and it's me, but I that feels like it's going to shake
everything up.
And just saying you have the ambience check her out. I have one. I have a lawyer.
So do you need to call them? Do you want them here before we talk to you?
I look at them. I just need you to know. Can you get
to go a glass? I think you may be
we're gonna get the
paramedics in here to
check you out. I think you
maybe can cost.
I definitely am can
cost.
I've been
can go.
Oh,
what?
Collette.
Hey,
since you guys went so
great.
Do you guys have anything to drink in here?
Probably eat. Yeah, we can get you something for So great! Do you guys have anything to drink in here? How many?
Yeah, we can get you some for a venting machine in your quest. Ah, just coffee. Coffee.
They come back with very, very old tasting coffee.
Oh, this tastes like snot.
Yeah, you're telling me.
Curious to tell the one how to collect and try to be honest.
I gotcha.
So, nice to meet you.
My name's Collette Sawyer.
A long time ago I was an artist, then I was a ghost
hunter and an artist, then I was a ghost hunter and a terrorist for a brief second, but I'm about
to tell you how that's not true. I used to work for Orpheus, or, well, you know, you watch the news,
I'm sure. And afterwards, I'm sure you know,
we were points of interest, you could say,
in what happened there.
And I'm here to set the story straight
if you're willing to listen to me.
I don't know if you got to take that.
I've somewhere up the road.
I'm sure there's somebody in a very nice suit
that would like to hear about this,
but the fight that took place took place
because a group of
private military corps
folks from the higher sector, the other spooky people, tried to kill all of us and we were defending
ourselves against our group of survivors from Orpheus and a group of detractors from next world,
who were fighting for the good of the world.
And that's who you have in the other rooms.
What?
Homey, do I have to say it again?
They heard you the first time, Collette.
I know.
I'm just processing.
It's just guys not even listening.
We go to Mia.
You've been stitched up.
You're out of surgery.
You're flying pretty high on painkillers.
So unfortunately, the police can't really talk to you
because they can't talk to you while you're high.
Or at least they shouldn't talk to you while you're high.
And while we're on the topic, everybody asks for a lawyer.
It's your constitutional right, not talked to anybody.
Yeah, well, that's right.
It's not admission of good.
Asking for a lawyer is not admission of guilt.
So anyway, do you do anything during this time?
You're kind of hanging out with COA, but the detectives
are like, let us know when the painkillers are out of
a system and she's a little more coherent.
We'll talk to her then.
I think you're muted.
We won't be here for a while, or for a moment,
very least, just sitting in the chair next to them,
just like.
Is it on your mic?
Good catch. Hey, boy, boy, boy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I do it all this time.
You know, I'm saying, uh,
oh yeah, me is just like,
co, they almost amputated my arm.
It was gone.
It was almost gone.
No, they had to take remove a few bullets.
It wasn't as bad as you think.
But yes, you were in surgery
like an hour or so ago.
I ever tell you, you were in surgery. Like an hour or so ago. I ever tell you, remind me fish.
You remind me of fish a lot.
You're just...
Yeah, these drugs are great.
These drugs look great.
You remind me of Nemo.
That's what it is.
You just remind me of Nemo.
Okay. Okay. All right. Can I go now? I don't want to be here.
I want to call somebody.
You have to wait for the drugs to wear off, and then you have to talk to a few detectives.
And then we can probably leave.
I don't fucking wanna talk to,
I don't wanna talk to cops, no, fuck that.
Someone has to tell them about what happened.
Wait, can I talk to Layla?
She's a cop, that'll count.
I don't think Layla has jurisdiction here.
She's definitely got jurisdiction somewhere.
But a corroboration of stories does help get all three of you out faster than anything.
Diction, more like.
You said a bunch of words, but they were a lot of, they were big.
What?
You need to tell your side of the story before somebody else tells another story that puts you
in the wrong.
Okay, so what do I say?
That next world broke down the doors of a home you were at and decided to try to kill everyone there, including you, which is why you have multiple bullets through your chest and shoulders.
That's right, that's right, that's right, that's right.
Okay, next world, pew-pooed, not us, defended, and then hospital.
That's what happened.
Pretty much.
In the grander's payment things.
Wait, do you have my phone?
My phone? My phone?
I didn't...is it not on your persons?
Get my clothes?
Because there's stuff on there.
Don't look in the photos.
It's the recordings of the remember the
the guy is me is close is me is close in here and are we alone? They have been seized as
evidence. Yeah about your phone. Go get it. Go get it because I have stuff in it that we need that I need
That we all need as a group, but it's evidence still in the building
Now what is is the evidence still the building?
Say again now is the evidence still here in the building. You know what? Yeah, let's say let's say you're gonna try to steal it back. At least the phone, but it does require me to
finesse something. Yeah, because you can't remember what goes phones they don't go
ghost with you. Yeah, okay, so where is... Yeah, where is the evidence? We'll say it is currently secured in the trunk of one of the patrol cars while
they wait to get relieved from the hospital. Are they in the... Are they in the... The police are in
the hospital. So the cars... Outside the garage. Outside. Yep.
It's going to be real hard if we got that. I mean, that's got the confessions.
It gets that'll help.
I mean, eventually they'll listen to it.
It's not like they're not going to listen to it, especially
if you pointed out.
Yeah.
But there are some other private stuff on that phone
video wise that maybe I don't want out
The other is let's just say there might be an anonymous only fan to count created
You don't know you don't know me as life at like that
So do I need to try to finesse this phone out of this thing or are we gonna hold it for evidence?
You're asking me, I'm high.
You're gonna be the one to make the call.
I just want to make no one moves.
I need to start making.
Do you really want me to do that or?
I mean, it will help us faster, because then we could show them in the room.
Just have it like already there. Okay, express the
delivery. We could wait till I get in to jail. That's fine.
That should we can just enjoy this jello and then whatever.
I mean, it's how can I finesse this phone out of the police car and bring it back to me?
Let's give it a shot. Go for it. Let's do dexterity plus stealth. Fuck it.
What do I have in that?
You got nothing do you? I have three.
No, better.
Two successes.
Okay, yeah.
You're able to, it's easy enough to get into the car because you can stay in corporeal
at that point.
To get the phone, the issue is that it's in the trunk.
So now if you manifest, you're in the trunk with the phone.
You got to try and get out.
Can I instead manifest inside the car so that I can pop the trunk and then go out the back side and just reach in and grab the phone and then just
walk away manifested. Sure with two successes yeah we'll see you're able to do
that. Yeah and then I am going to walk into the hospital like a normal per like a normal everyday citizen live in person like a normal citizen
love that yeah I'm a way to like at least the whole way is clear to walk back
into me is to get it you got it put the phone next to her on the on the night's fan and sit back down. You know the passcode?
Why would I know the passcode of your phone?
Because it was the day we met. Oh, I mean, I would I know that impression. No, it's joking. It's not the day we met. I was just messing with you.
I'm going to basically go through the phone as best as I can.
Be like not deleting, but it's like, don't go past this photo.
But here you go.
You want me to tell them about this?
I don't think I'm supposed to be in this room. Oh, that's right, you're stealthy.
Okay, I'll be right here and I'll just wait.
Well, at least we know that no one's going to steal it just in case and wipe it out.
Fair.
Just send it directly to the detective that's helpful.
Who is that again?
I don't know the name of the man yet.
Oh, he's been in here a couple times, but he hasn't really disclosed his name. Who is that again? I don't know the name of the man yet.
He's been in here a couple times, but he hasn't really disclosed his name.
I'm going to still send this to Layla though.
It's smart.
See, it's your highness on here too. as best as me it can, slowly send not really a message just sends the video.
Okay, might startle, but...
Love it.
Yeah.
With that, we've got...
With me a recuperating, and Ko- trying to wrangle her, especially
can't in the hospital. We have
Collette and Logan, you were eventually
brought into a conference room.
And I'm assuming Levinia and Viv you go
with them.
Actually Levinia now that she's in a
police office, do you think she could attempt to hack a computer and
get an idea about like what the police force thinks of us?
Like, are we, like, did they get warned that we're terrorists
or something like that? Like, what is the whole temperature
there that she's trying to read? Yeah, that's, so you'd have to
manifest, like that's the so you'd have to manifest like that's the thing you have to manifest. You'd be hanging out in the open. Yeah.
Could I attempt to find a quiet office? I don't want sure. Yeah, I'd say I'd say easy enough.
Roll, uh, roll perception plus awareness or investigation, perception plus investigation.
Okay. Hopefully I get some successes here. That's one success. Perception plus investigation. Okay
Get some successes here. That's one success
You you it's not quite secluded, but you find you find it back office that you may be thinking maybe able to get on the computer and get get access to their local network
Yeah, I suspect it's it might be worth the risk because I can just disappear. I think I will appear in front of a computer and try to
worth the risk because I can just disappear. I think I will appear in front of a computer and try to see what I can find. I'll search Collette Logan's Mia's name specifically. I'm
trying to get more than anything just a gauge of like, are we in a ton of trouble? Is there any room for?
All right, roll intelligence plus computer. Safety can get access to it because it is going to require user name password and all that good stuff.
Yeah, standby.
Three.
That's four successes.
Okay.
Yeah, you're able to get access easily.
And from what you can see, you have been, you are identified as persons of interest
and the investigation into the Orapheus attack,
not quite suspects, but still need to be brought in
for questioning and possibly evading law enforcement.
So-
The Viniya feels that at least like,
although the police aren't after us, they're not,
there's no secret messages of, you know,
make sure to take these people out or anything like that.
No, nothing from what you can tell.
From what you can, from the, what they call the be on the look out,
the below notice, just simply that you, you may be arm to dangerous,
but, you know, not, you're not currently suspects in the crime,
the one for additional questioning
Yeah, but in this conference room eventually a man and a suit enters
It's been about probably two or three hours at this point. So nobody recognized live any it certainly isn't cross
It's an older older guy probably in his mid to late 50s.
Seems to be well put together, almost kind of uncle-ish,
endomiener, and energy, not creepy uncle,
Lev with that one.
No, I just don't trust anyone who tries to be nice here.
Fair enough.
But he sits down at the table and says,
collect and logon, right?
Logon is standing hovering behind Collette.
Are your friends with us?
The ghosts? Yeah.
Okay.
You'll be pleased to know me's recovering quite well from surgery? The A-R-E-A-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L- I can ask them, but there's just no guarantee. I mean, we have some level of influence, but I don't want you to think it's a show thing.
Fair enough.
OK.
Then this.
She.
You know, I think you heard.
OK, that's fine.
We have to establish a foundation of trust.
I understand that.
My name is Deputy Director Matthew Gibson
with the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
I'm technically Mr. Warman's boss, but...
He's a little over his illness, I think,
in some of his applications of the law.
But from what the Texas was telling me, you were saying that next world was responsible
for the attack on Orpheus Group.
And a fact responsible for the attack at the home this evening?
Yeah.
Yes.
Yes to both.
For sure.
Infatically.
Aggressively.
Tell you what happened.
I think that's a good spot. Send it for this evening.
We will pick up with your interaction with Deputy Director Gibbs in next go
Ram. Yeah we go. Excellent. Excellent. I have blasted. I hope you all did too. Watch at home, but in the meantime
Leave a comment leave a like subscribe on a good stuff. Hope you had a good time stick with us
We're getting to the probably midpoint of this arc
Yeah, yeah, this is what session four yes
This is where the campaign turns into a legal drama. We go to the court.
That's right.
We did the law, and now we're doing the order.
Well, we have other elites to pursue too.
We sell the blasphemers and potentially cross as well.
So we'll see what happens next.
We will get the quayote.
We'll get the quayote into a nail gun.
Love that.
Can we get a mic, because in any court scene?
No.
We can't.
But thank you all for joining us.
Hope you have a great rest of your day, evening,
wherever you may be.
