Other Dying Worlds RAW
Straight from the Patreon in time for this holiday season, it's a Blades in the Dark test game in pure, uncut form (mostly, I do truncate silence in the raw mixes). Have you ever wondered how many ums a group can cram into a show? We smashed the theoretical limit long ago and have improved since then, but there's still a lot more of them in this than in the fully produced episodes. Um... Enjoy!
1
00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:06,400
Yay.
Mine might be a a a a split
2
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:09,000
second early, but I think it's
good enough that.
3
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:14,840
Should be OK.
It's easy for me to say I'm not
4
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:18,080
the one, you know, doing this,
so.
5
00:00:19,240 --> 00:00:22,600
Yeah.
It's usually pretty easy, yeah,
6
00:00:23,080 --> 00:00:25,120
other than that one time where
for some reason one of the
7
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:28,640
tracks was going at 90%, so I
had to readjust it over and over
8
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:30,200
again.
Oh my goodness.
9
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:34,320
That sounds.
I ended up just restarting.
10
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:37,360
The whole thing a nightmare,
understandably.
11
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:47,440
Yeah, that's no bueno.
OK, so Blades of the Dark.
12
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:52,480
Blades of the Dark.
Now I'm guessing we have at
13
00:00:52,480 --> 00:00:54,760
least one person who needs to go
through playbook creation.
14
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:57,200
That'd be Renee.
How's yours sitting, Nathan?
15
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:06,240
Basically done.
Yeah, I not a problem.
16
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:10,080
I had to watch a bunch of videos
for training I had to do today.
17
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:13,000
So while I was doing that, I had
time to make my character.
18
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,760
I would normally have to sit
down and make it, but.
19
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,560
That is pretty straightforward.
You get 2 free dots, one dot
20
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,960
from your heritage and one dot
from your background and.
21
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:26,440
That's that.
You get 2 more to spend.
22
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:29,120
Yeah, you get a total of four
dots.
23
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,560
Yeah, you get 2 free dots and
then one from your heritage and
24
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:32,880
one free back from your
background.
25
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,040
OK, that made it sound like OK,
never.
26
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,800
Mind in addition to the three
that's already on my character
27
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:38,920
sheet, right?
Yes, yes.
28
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,600
OK.
Well you said you get 2 free
29
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,600
dots, one from your heritage and
one from your background.
30
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,520
Makes it sound like the two.
Free dots you get are.
31
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,120
From your heritage and your
background, but in.
32
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:51,880
Fact.
You see at this point, yes, OK.
33
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:57,400
OK.
Horizontal tracks are your
34
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:02,200
ratings in a particular action.
Vertically is your ratings in
35
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:07,160
the corresponding category.
Usually used for resistance.
36
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,560
Let's prowl again, Stelsey.
Sneak around.
37
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:17,600
Sneakery.
Yeah, so as a sniper, I'm taking
38
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:21,000
some of that.
And as a reminder, you can have
39
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,120
a maximum of two in any action
rating at playbook creation.
40
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:31,680
Yes.
Oh my God, what are they doing
41
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:35,200
over there?
Just just smacking stuff around.
42
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,840
You also choose a ability from
your playbook.
43
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,520
Don't know which one to pick.
Pick the top one.
44
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,560
Honestly, not bad.
Yeah.
45
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:54,320
That's what I did with my
character.
46
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,320
You have a character.
Well, yes, because of the entire
47
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,800
conceit of this, I need to have
some character in the fiction,
48
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,800
even if I'm not playing them in.
The yeah, but we're you're not
49
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:06,840
doing it right now.
No.
50
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,040
OK.
I have tried DMPC's once or
51
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,600
twice and I found it very
difficult for me.
52
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:16,600
Yeah, they can't stick around
for the whole time.
53
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,000
Usually I kill them off
immediately.
54
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:20,840
Yeah.
Like first room.
55
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:32,120
I mean I have to have sub show
up to give cryptic pieces of
56
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,560
clothes but.
Clothes say.
57
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:38,320
Clothes, yes.
Clothes.
58
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:45,440
I've had a long day.
I found out that a big report
59
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,960
that I have to have ready well,
I thought I had to have ready at
60
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,400
the end of three weeks.
I have to have ready by Thursday
61
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:56,360
so well.
Thursday is a lot closer than
62
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,840
three weeks from now.
Three weeks is Christmas break.
63
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,480
I had to have it done right
before Christmas break, I
64
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,160
thought, but it said I have to
have it done by that.
65
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,240
So I'm putting I put a big sign
on my office door that said
66
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,360
don't ask me for anything, don't
talk to me, I'm working.
67
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,040
Fair enough.
Also worth mentioning that clues
68
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:17,720
are what make up revealing
outfits.
69
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,920
Yes.
What?
70
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:28,960
What do you guys not have?
Like I have one one dot I don't
71
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,080
know where to put because I
think at 2 skirmish and two rack
72
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:37,600
and two command I'm good.
I have two consort 2, sway 2
73
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:41,720
finesse 1 server.
It sounds like you, Renee, will
74
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:45,000
only have one for any of your
resistances, so you might want
75
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,040
to put a dot to just increase
one of those.
76
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,960
OK, I'll do pro.
That's actually one of the
77
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,880
things that kind of colored how
I spent my.
78
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:04,760
Wonderful time for vices.
Everybody got a vice and a
79
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:08,400
purveyor.
Oh yes, that's what I still need
80
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:34,840
to.
I like spicy food and I get them
81
00:05:34,840 --> 00:05:38,640
from a gang called the Weasels.
You know, normally that would be
82
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,760
just sort of a weird thing to
have for a vice, but I imagine
83
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:43,640
that would actually be really
hard to come by and.
84
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:45,760
Exactly.
It's a luxury.
85
00:05:45,840 --> 00:05:48,440
It's a luxury.
I mean, I just want really good
86
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:49,760
food.
But I think in particular the
87
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:53,880
thing that I am totally
searching for is not bland
88
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,120
fungus.
Fair.
89
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,760
Well, you could always go for
seaweed or.
90
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:03,480
E Oh boy, oh boy.
Get your gristmill going.
91
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,040
Got to at least I got some
spiced eels.
92
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,080
You know what?
I think I'm actually going to go
93
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:21,640
rather plain with this one.
Their vice is booze.
94
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:23,640
There you go.
Nothing wrong with that.
95
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,000
If I was still a full time
barkeep I'd be able to help you
96
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:39,320
out with that, but.
So is this in the same reality
97
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:44,840
as the smokers?
No, that world blew up, I
98
00:06:44,840 --> 00:06:48,560
believe.
I mean time is what flexible.
99
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,160
This will be the updated setting
from Deep Cuts.
100
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,040
Duskwell is expanding.
There's some new inventions.
101
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,040
Yeah, it has changed, but
everybody hates that.
102
00:07:02,280 --> 00:07:05,320
I did I I only looked at the
rules that moved on.
103
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,120
I'll have time to read lower
documents right now.
104
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:10,600
Hey, welcome to the subreddit.
Same thing for them.
105
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,000
Yeah, I bet.
Apparently.
106
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:17,560
Yeah, apparently Arubia is a
city, not an entirely separate
107
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:21,680
country.
Or not Arubia.
108
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:25,360
Tiger Rose.
Oh, you know, it's just a city
109
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,240
full of mutants.
Yeah.
110
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:34,560
OK, so the purveyor is a bar
called the Rusty Knob All.
111
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:39,840
Right.
You have to know how that
112
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,960
sounds.
Oh I 100% know how that sounds.
113
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:45,320
OK.
Just making sure.
114
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,480
I mean, I made made myself Blair
Winky, but I'm making sure
115
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,360
people don't call me Winky.
Just call me Wink.
116
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:55,880
Smart.
You know I'm going to call you
117
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,880
Winky.
I mean, yeah, that's obviously
118
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:00,640
that is what I've set this up
for.
119
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:11,360
Renee, you got a vice.
I'm honestly, I honestly just
120
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:15,400
wanna Tyler Durden this a little
bit.
121
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:20,240
And my, my vice is like
violence, I think.
122
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:22,720
Fight clubs?
Hell yeah.
123
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,240
Fight clubs?
Who's the purveyor?
124
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:32,919
Purveyor.
How about Chael, A vicious thug?
125
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:35,799
Is that one of your?
Yeah.
126
00:08:35,799 --> 00:08:36,679
Friends there.
Yeah.
127
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:41,240
All right.
You just don't fight him
128
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:47,480
regularly, don't weigh on each.
Other he runs an illegal Fight
129
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:54,400
Club and one of his champions.
All right, Nathan, what does
130
00:08:54,400 --> 00:09:00,240
your character do to unwind?
I'm waffling between drugs or
131
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,640
women.
Women.
132
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:09,120
He drugs women.
Oh, that's a whole Jesus AC
133
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:12,040
Nathan hates women.
What?
134
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,680
No, no, Dan, no.
OK.
135
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:22,080
All right, I'm, I will say
pleasure.
136
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:29,600
And my character's vice is women
brothels.
137
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,720
I I have to come up with a name
for a brothel now, don't I?
138
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:33,720
Yep.
Yep.
139
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:40,600
Funky Winker beans.
The Cloister.
140
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,320
The warm blanket.
Beautiful I was.
141
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:46,640
Going to say you should do the
Velvet Room.
142
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,440
Well, for legal reasons, we
can't do that.
143
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:54,600
Who am I kidding?
I was on a Kingdom Hearts
144
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:56,760
podcast.
As if legality has ever meant
145
00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:02,800
anything to me.
Yes, I I use that name as a
146
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:06,120
brothel of my old podcast
because it's it's a good name.
147
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,960
For a brothel.
It is a good name for a brothel.
148
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,840
All right, so everybody want to
introduce the character.
149
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,840
Let's start with Daniel because
his name's on the podcast.
150
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:18,920
Yeah, probably we're not going
to use much of that there.
151
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:22,560
But hi, everybody.
My name's Daniel Fernandez.
152
00:10:22,560 --> 00:10:24,920
He him, My name's on the
podcast.
153
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:30,360
I'm going to be playing Mr.
Wink, technically birthday Blair
154
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:37,120
Winky, who is a slide, meaning
they are a a talker.
155
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,400
They're kind of sort of an
average bill, but they're always
156
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:44,440
very well dressed and noticeable
is their big black mustache.
157
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:49,120
They are a former barkeep and
their fam.
158
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:54,480
They come from a family of the
courtiers of the Imperial City.
159
00:10:54,680 --> 00:10:58,600
They were very, very important
at one point and I am not very,
160
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:00,320
very important anymore.
All right.
161
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:01,760
Good stuff.
Yeah, Nathan.
162
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:12,640
Hi, I'm Nathan, regular around
these parts and the character I
163
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:22,320
am playing is Selene Cell Nix.
She prefers Cell because who the
164
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:26,400
fuck wants to be named after the
moon when moon's haunted?
165
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:34,640
Fair enough.
And she is a lean but muscular
166
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:39,080
burdened like, you know,
burdened looking woman and is a
167
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:40,480
hound.
I don't know if I said that
168
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:48,720
already.
Who tracks and hunts and snipes
169
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:52,120
in her case?
All right, I see Renee is still
170
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:56,960
writing, so let's go to Damien.
Oakley Doakley Hi, I'm Damien
171
00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:01,760
eBay.
The character that I will be
172
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:07,560
playing is Severian.
Nope, I'm not going to use that
173
00:12:07,560 --> 00:12:11,120
as an accent.
Severian Von Silkbelt.
174
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:19,080
They are a whisper.
They're also an engineer and
175
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:22,640
they're not from around these
parts.
176
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:28,360
And I've decided that they
haven't let on to the rest of
177
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:30,520
the crew that they are a
stranger by the side.
178
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:39,120
They're an engineer and their
their their goal is they want to
179
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:43,400
to make their own halls.
I think is the best way to put
180
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,640
it within the contacts of Blades
in the Dark.
181
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:53,200
And what is that?
A a hull is essentially A golem
182
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,520
powered by a ghost.
I think is the easiest way to
183
00:12:57,800 --> 00:12:58,840
describe it.
OK.
184
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,480
OK, that sounds about right to
me.
185
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,880
Yeah, right.
Renee, you got your character
186
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,560
finished.
Yeah, hi, I'm Renee Shide
187
00:13:08,560 --> 00:13:11,320
pronouns.
I'm going to be playing Eldeth M
188
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:15,280
Keen.
Her alias is thunderclassed.
189
00:13:15,560 --> 00:13:19,520
Her pronouns are she her I am
Akarosi.
190
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:25,800
So I'm from Daskwall and I'm
basically I'm I've always been a
191
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,200
criminal.
I've always been a a muscle.
192
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:34,760
I'm a mountain of a woman
basically look like Princess
193
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:35,720
Fiona.
Could I say that?
194
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,720
Which one's Princess Fiona?
The Ogre.
195
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,840
The Ogre, Yes, I basically look
like Princess Fiona in ogre
196
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,080
form.
Are you from Shrek?
197
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:52,360
No, I'm I'm very much human.
OK, maybe maybe a bit pasty, but
198
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:57,040
then again, everybody is.
All right, so it's it's not
199
00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:00,720
Princess Fiona in ogre form,
it's Shrek in human form if you
200
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:05,200
were female.
No.
201
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:06,960
No, OK.
No.
202
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,600
I'm still a woman.
I'm just.
203
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,320
No, no, no.
But Shrek in human form is sort
204
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,800
of a big pasty guy.
Can you stop interrupting me,
205
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:21,320
please?
I'm still a woman.
206
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:25,320
I'm just a lot of woman and a
very, very strong woman.
207
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:33,000
All right, and I will be running
the plates in the dark parts of
208
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,520
this I I need a character for
the other parts of it.
209
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:42,000
So I am playing Goth who goes by
gramps the whisper around
210
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:43,160
spider.
Great.
211
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,280
I'm great at this.
Try.
212
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:46,880
Try it again, try it again.
All right.
213
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,920
I'll be playing the spider goth
who goes by Gramps.
214
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:55,120
They use any and all pronouns
because a spider cannot be tied
215
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:58,760
down.
They're from Akaros and they
216
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:02,160
used to work at the Ironworks I
guess looks a little understated
217
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:06,000
and trying too hard to look at.
Might be patchwork clothes, but
218
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:07,640
all the patches are really nice
material.
219
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:15,680
It's the style, yeah.
It's like ripping holes in your
220
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,320
own jeans.
OK, I believe Damien had an
221
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:21,200
invention that I completely
forgot about before we started
222
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:25,680
recording.
That's OK, I wrote down most of
223
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:33,680
the relevant stuff.
So for the what is it and what
224
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:38,280
is it do question that I'm sure
you are preparing to ask.
225
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:45,040
It is a cell phone that
transmits through the ghost.
226
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:49,240
OK.
Or communication device.
227
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:51,080
Cell phone is just the easiest
way to describe it.
228
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:56,960
Pardon me.
And what is the minimum quality?
229
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:04,120
Four that is more advanced than
the current radio equipment that
230
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:10,720
is in rare use.
That is entirely fair, and what
231
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:15,200
makes it rare is, well, three
things.
232
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:18,440
Considering it's higher quality
than the radios currently used,
233
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:25,160
it has an expensive power source
and the connection is made
234
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:31,600
through the user.
So for example if my character
235
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:36,840
was calling Renee's type deal,
the the connection would go
236
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:41,920
through my character, which what
I wrote down for.
237
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:45,680
Mechanically it would require in
a tune roll to be able to use.
238
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:54,200
And that also opens up the door
for you to come up with some
239
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,360
drawbacks.
All right.
240
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:01,560
I would just say we probably
want to like put this at like
241
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:03,000
the end of the episode or
something.
242
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,200
I don't know if this is what we
want to start off our episode
243
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,079
with.
No, that's fair.
244
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:09,200
OK.
I just think we need to
245
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:10,920
establish this because we need
to know how the cell phone
246
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:12,280
works.
But I don't know if this is.
247
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:14,720
Yeah, yeah.
For this to just appear in
248
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,160
episode, it'd be kind of weird.
Yeah, yeah, just to.
249
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:21,880
Yeah.
I think that there can be
250
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:25,119
different drawbacks to that
depending on the situation.
251
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:33,080
Situational drawbacks.
I think it just in general you
252
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:36,480
could damage yourself since
you're attuning with it if
253
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:40,560
you're trying it in an extra
ghosty area, other things.
254
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:48,600
So damage, ghost fuckery.
Yeah, that's about what I was
255
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:50,280
figuring would end up coming
from that.
256
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:52,680
That's one of the reasons why I
added the whole.
257
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,760
You need to attune to it in
order to be able to use it.
258
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:01,840
All right, that works.
And with that, we'll continue
259
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:05,040
on.
Welcome to Duskwall.
260
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:09,080
Duskwall N Hook, the city of
trade, progress, industry, the
261
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:12,560
city of the Imperium.
The days are cool, the forges
262
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:15,640
are hot, and the ghosts are you.
Get used to them.
263
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,440
Another lightless day in a
godspited rock.
264
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:21,520
Everyone's holed up in your base
of operations.
265
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:26,680
Far a far cry from what it once
was, or was rumoured to be, for
266
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,960
fresh faces like you, but still
cozy enough to talk business in.
267
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:36,880
What are you all doing?
What's our crew?
268
00:18:37,120 --> 00:18:40,720
What crew are we in?
We are a crew of Bravos.
269
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,880
OH.
I'm absolutely arm wrestling.
270
00:18:44,120 --> 00:18:46,720
Purveyors of violence.
Yes.
271
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,760
I am arm wrestling whoever will
arm wrestle with me.
272
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:57,200
Important to note in Blades in
the Dark the crew exists beyond
273
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,600
the player characters, so that
doesn't have to be 1 of the
274
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:01,760
people talking.
Yeah, yeah.
275
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:06,280
I I want to participate, but I
don't think my character would
276
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:10,600
be getting into an arm wrestle
or if I would be arm wrestling,
277
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,600
I would be cheating somehow and
I don't think I would do that to
278
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:19,560
you yet.
And I, I, I think you're not
279
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,880
alone because I have a fearsome
aspect.
280
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:25,760
It's my special ability.
When I intimidate threat nor
281
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:27,520
commit violence, I am
terrifying.
282
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:32,600
So yeah, I don't think you'd
you'd be alone.
283
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:34,000
Who chickened out?
Yeah.
284
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:44,120
I think I am waiting for the
next sort of job to come in, as
285
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:47,120
it were.
It's a bit of downtime right now
286
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:50,240
though, not Capital D downtime
where there's specific rules for
287
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:50,760
that.
Yeah.
288
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:54,560
And I'm, I think I'm just mixing
up some drinks.
289
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:57,960
I'm trying to make something
nice with what we have but we
290
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:02,200
don't like have anything.
Roach get yeah.
291
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,680
Toilet wine.
Something like that.
292
00:20:09,120 --> 00:20:13,080
I'm trying to do a I'm trying to
do a Tom Cruise cocktail with
293
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:16,120
like throwing the stuff around,
but all we have is just like the
294
00:20:16,120 --> 00:20:20,360
worst ever booze.
So be being fancy.
295
00:20:20,360 --> 00:20:22,400
It's not creating actually good
drinks.
296
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:25,600
It's only toilet wine if it's
from the toilet region of
297
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:31,240
Aruvia, OH.
My God, yo Winky, give me
298
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:36,120
another pint of that.
Absolutely darling.
299
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:43,240
And I slide it down the bar.
I catch it without raising my
300
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:46,720
like, without looking.
I'm completely focused on
301
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:52,120
breaking this poor fellow's arm.
Would you like to roll something
302
00:20:52,120 --> 00:20:56,920
for that?
Sure, I'm a roll wreck.
303
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:02,440
That makes sense.
What's your rating of that two?
304
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:04,920
OK, you're.
Going to break this person's
305
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:07,640
arm.
I wrote the five all.
306
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:11,640
Right, you thoroughly trounce
this person and their arm.
307
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,280
Victory.
No, wait, that's a Russell
308
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:24,200
thing.
I I just sort of start banging
309
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:28,080
my fist on the on the bar
counter, like encouraging other
310
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:33,680
people to join in having a grand
old time.
311
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,720
Yeah.
And Nathan or Damien, what are
312
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,680
your characters up to?
I do not know your aliases yet
313
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:43,720
because we just started this.
Yeah, I'll go.
314
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:53,040
So Severian is sitting off just
kind of off to the side a little
315
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:59,080
ways, and they're taking
something apart.
316
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:02,840
You're.
Not is there a whisper and an
317
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:04,520
engineer?
Is this a living thing?
318
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:09,800
No, not this time.
OK, not.
319
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:14,640
This time.
You weren't around.
320
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:18,480
For my last member.
Oh God.
321
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:28,320
Anyway, continue.
It's it's something mechanical
322
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:39,000
of some sort there it, it almost
looks like an old, like broken
323
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:43,200
radio and they're just trying to
tinker with it to see if they
324
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:46,280
can get it to work again.
It's not being very successful.
325
00:22:49,120 --> 00:22:51,520
I can roll for it, but I don't
expect.
326
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,080
You can if you'd like.
This is free play.
327
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,560
Dice rolling is more for fun
than anything.
328
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:09,520
OK, so it's you.
Every now and again you hear a
329
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:13,960
little bit of swearing coming
from beneath the mask.
330
00:23:14,120 --> 00:23:20,560
I rolled A3 by the way, and you
can tell from like across the
331
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:27,640
room that it's not going as well
as they would hope.
332
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:35,960
Possibly broken beyond repair.
Well, these things happen, yeah.
333
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:46,760
It is best of all, after all.
All right, one person left.
334
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:52,560
What's she doing, Nathan?
Cell is doing weapon
335
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:56,040
maintenance.
It is an art, right?
336
00:23:56,400 --> 00:24:02,240
You've got to be very careful,
you're trusting this thing with
337
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:06,760
your life, so it's got to be in
constantly the best shape it can
338
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:10,480
be.
So she is currently cleaning and
339
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:15,000
touching up her rifle.
Is she doing this on the bar?
340
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,480
I think it would be funny if if
if she was.
341
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:25,080
You know what she is doing this
on the bar and she was in
342
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:30,240
between Wink and.
Thunderclast.
343
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:34,560
Thunderclast.
And so when the drink was like
344
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:37,480
slid across the bar, she just,
without looking, lifted up her
345
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,600
rifle so it could pass right by
and then went back down to
346
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:44,080
working on it.
We've got this stuff figured
347
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:48,640
out.
Love it.
348
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:51,960
I passed.
I passed the drink back like the
349
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:56,760
empty mug another.
And once again, lift just as it
350
00:24:56,760 --> 00:25:02,600
slides underneath.
I time it so that the new one
351
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:06,920
that's coming towards Thunder is
going under and like passes
352
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:09,080
right at the same time as the
empty 1 is coming back.
353
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:11,160
Beautiful.
Yeah.
354
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,600
All right.
With that, your whisper enters,
355
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,840
boisterous as ever.
The Waterbell and this
356
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:25,000
apparently functioning Tavern
rings.
357
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:30,000
Nathan, you had a question.
You said our our whisper enters.
358
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,960
I thought Damien was.
Fucking saying whisper spider,
359
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:36,520
your spider enters.
Try it again baby, or do it
360
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:37,680
again.
I don't know if we need to do it
361
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:39,960
again or call out the fact that
you got it wrong.
362
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:45,880
That's fine, I can fuck up.
You're allowed.
363
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:48,560
This is a podcast, not a
fucking.
364
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:53,440
I don't know a place where
people can not fuck up.
365
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:55,800
Do you want to take that again
or are we going to leave that?
366
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,120
Welcome to fuck ups fuck up
tales.
367
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:13,800
I've been called worse.
All right, if you want a
368
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,240
paycheck, gather round, I got
something for you.
369
00:26:21,120 --> 00:26:27,160
I Are you coming to the bar for
this or are you or should I
370
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:30,600
abandoned what I'm doing?
I'm coming to the bar, talking
371
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,400
as I go.
It's it's sort of a walking
372
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:35,400
gather round.
Gotcha, gotcha.
373
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:37,080
So you're just walking around
the bar?
374
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:37,840
Yeah.
Yeah.
375
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:40,520
So and.
We and we all follow you.
376
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,240
I I wanna be clear, I wasn't
imagining that this is like a
377
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:47,880
quote UN quote real bar.
This is just like a like, this
378
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,720
isn't a place where people are
coming in to get drinks who
379
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:53,360
aren't part of the crew.
This is just like we have a
380
00:26:53,360 --> 00:26:56,280
little bit of a bar in our in
our hideout.
381
00:26:56,920 --> 00:27:00,160
Absolutely, I'm imagining the
same, but also that you actually
382
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:05,440
have to pay for drinks here.
Oh yeah, that's actually a scam.
383
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:11,560
That I started.
But I'm saying, you know, it's
384
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:13,600
the bosses.
They say I got to do it and I'm
385
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:22,840
just pocketing it anyway.
All right, some big wig with the
386
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:26,400
brasses, not too happy with the
superior and thinks it's time to
387
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:28,120
give the chain of command a
rattling.
388
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:31,560
Might not be the easiest job
around, but the payouts worth
389
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:36,120
the text.
They they they're bad words.
390
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:42,760
Let's leave that one in too.
Maybe might not be the big,
391
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:47,120
might not be the easiest job
around, but the payout is worth
392
00:27:47,120 --> 00:27:49,360
extra trouble in a note.
No bells.
393
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:53,200
Client just wants you to put the
fear of whatever a military man
394
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:55,640
believes in into the subject and
get out.
395
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:57,720
No payday, otherwise non
negotiable.
396
00:27:57,720 --> 00:27:59,840
You all know the sort.
Where they at?
397
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:03,640
Oh, the subject it's.
That might be a bit of a
398
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:09,440
problem, Admiral.
Atop the Covenant up there,
399
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:16,280
Gramps gestures upwards.
The Covenant doesn't airship
400
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:18,280
currently stationed above dusk
well.
401
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:23,400
Ah, huh.
Belonging to who?
402
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:29,960
The Imperial Navy, ah.
Well, last time I checked, goats
403
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:33,960
don't fly.
So unless you're providing any
404
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:37,920
way for us to get up there?
I mean there's there's ways.
405
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,440
Keep going.
Darling, people go in and out of
406
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:44,960
it all the time.
It doesn't just float there with
407
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:49,640
nobody manning it.
We'll just need to all get us in
408
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:54,960
and then you can break the legs
and you could, you know, shoot
409
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:58,320
anybody who gets it our way.
And I'm not quite sure what you
410
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:00,600
do, but with the technology and
stuff, it's, it's lovely.
411
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,200
I'm sure.
I just want to interject here.
412
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:08,000
No bells that that's no deaths.
Keep the shooting to a minimum.
413
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:11,320
Oh no, I don't.
I don't need a gun to do some
414
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:14,200
damage.
OK, well, well, you'll shoot the
415
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:18,880
gun into the air and be like
wooee and scare them off.
416
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:21,600
They don't need to know that
we're not trying to kill anyone.
417
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:27,080
I don't think you know me very
well, do you?
418
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:34,840
I mean, I'm pretty sure any
event, I mean I'm pretty sure
419
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:38,800
you can shoot somebody's kneecap
out and not have to worry about
420
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:39,840
killing them.
Kneecaps.
421
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:43,840
Kneecaps are absolutely as
vulnerable as the rest of the
422
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:48,640
human body.
However, there will be no we, as
423
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:53,400
it were.
Well, if you screw up the
424
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:57,600
payday, I guess you'll have to
find your own, but leave it in
425
00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:01,080
your capable hands.
OK, I just thought maybe we
426
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:03,840
could do something, do the sort
of distraction thing.
427
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:06,680
If you're not, if distraction's
not really your game with the
428
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:09,880
gun, that's fine.
I get my own flair gun, that's
429
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:12,320
fine.
You know me.
430
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:15,280
I'm not.
I'm not a big fan of violence
431
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:18,400
myself.
I'm just more of a man who
432
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:23,120
implements violence.
I I generally prefer to have a
433
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:26,760
simple conversation with 1000
different people and set things
434
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:28,360
up and that's how I solve
problems.
435
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:34,000
Yes, yes, I find things and I
shoot them from very far away.
436
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:38,240
And you're very good at it and
we appreciate it.
437
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:45,200
Now when you say put the fear of
God into this, I guess you
438
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:49,200
didn't say that as it were.
And this is man again.
439
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:52,160
You don't want this one dead
either.
440
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:54,480
Correct.
OK.
441
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:59,880
We're we're not assassins.
Maybe they would like to get
442
00:30:59,880 --> 00:31:03,520
this job, but OK, OK, all right.
This just seems a little bit
443
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:07,840
more fancy than normally what we
do, which is get to the street
444
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:09,200
and beat the shit out of another
gang.
445
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:14,640
Well, if you'd like to drink
something better than Roach gut,
446
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:23,800
maybe we ought to branch out.
I do like a challenge from time
447
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:25,760
to time.
I take a look at the bottle,
448
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:28,680
it's like, makes sense.
It's still crawling.
449
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:33,880
All right.
With that, I think we move in to
450
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:35,840
gather information.
OK.
451
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:40,400
Plays in the Dark is a game of
just get into it, so we don't
452
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:46,640
want to plan out the entire
thing in advance for gather
453
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:50,160
information.
You tell me an action rating you
454
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:53,440
want to roll with, and what sort
of information you're trying to
455
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:56,560
get and how.
I'm sorry, whose phone is
456
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:58,520
pinging?
Mine.
457
00:31:58,680 --> 00:31:59,520
Sorry, not.
Carrying the phone.
458
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:00,720
OK.
Oh.
459
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:03,320
That's sweet.
Mine pigged once but I silenced
460
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:05,760
it.
Now mine is silenced as well.
461
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:13,440
OK, OK, sorry, I wasn't, I
wasn't trying to, you know, stop
462
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:15,040
pinging.
No, it's just.
463
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:24,880
Yeah, I want to use my consort
skill to figure out how can I,
464
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:29,760
how do people get up and down
from this blimp?
465
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:31,760
All right?
Or is it a blimp?
466
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:34,760
Or is it a different sort of
airship like I was imagining?
467
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:38,480
Sort of like a a blimp, But I
suppose it could be like it's
468
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:40,120
fucking a helicarrier.
I don't know.
469
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:44,440
I'm I'm sort of imagining like a
sailing ship but powered by
470
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:47,880
ghosts and electricity.
So spell jammer.
471
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:51,600
Not familiar with it.
How big is it?
472
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:54,360
Big OK.
OK.
473
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:57,840
Like city sized?
No, not that big.
474
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:00,120
Not that big SO.
Like, are we talking like a
475
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:03,480
galleon?
Oh boy, I would have known this
476
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:07,320
at some point.
Big.
477
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:08,720
OK, it's fine.
Big is fine.
478
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:12,160
Enterprise, Oregon Voyager.
Like the the Crew compliment is
479
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:15,680
something that would be revealed
in Gather Information check, so
480
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:16,920
let's get that done.
OK.
481
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:19,600
I rolled a six out of two, so
that's a six, right?
482
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,600
Correct, unless you have 0 dots
in consort.
483
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:24,520
I do not have no.
I have two dots in consort.
484
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:27,880
So, all right, so you, you know,
get.
485
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:30,280
Around how people get up and
down and who goes up and down,
486
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:34,400
Yeah.
Well, as it happens, you share a
487
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:38,160
couple drinks with a couple of
the sailors.
488
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:41,520
Sky sailors.
It's a new technology, the
489
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:42,480
terminology.
Skylers.
490
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:44,520
Like cut out.
Sure.
491
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:47,760
The Skylers bucket Diamond.
Yeah.
492
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:55,040
Every fucking time.
For the most part, up and down
493
00:33:55,040 --> 00:34:01,200
is just other Skylers and that
happens irregularly.
494
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:05,680
Once a week they bring the ship
down for maintenance.
495
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:09,159
There's a bit of a skeleton crew
at the moment though.
496
00:34:09,159 --> 00:34:12,080
It's friendly skies so they
don't need the full complement
497
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:13,280
up there.
It's over 100.
498
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,560
Over 100 when everybody's on it.
But right now it's it's a
499
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:18,880
skeleton crew.
Hang on, did you say it's
500
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:21,960
screwed by skeletons?
No, that's silly.
501
00:34:22,199 --> 00:34:27,199
We're about ghosts here.
This one, I just want to ask, I
502
00:34:27,199 --> 00:34:30,040
know this is to gather
information, how high up is it?
503
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:35,000
Like is it a sort of thing where
like it is about the same height
504
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:39,920
as like a really high like
steeple around here or is it
505
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:42,520
higher than that?
Is it in a stratosphere?
506
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:44,880
Not no.
It's not in the stratosphere.
507
00:34:46,159 --> 00:34:50,040
Yeah, it's it's about this high.
I don't.
508
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:52,480
You can't do that.
Yeah, I know not.
509
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:56,239
Fair.
It's not helpful here.
510
00:34:57,280 --> 00:35:00,400
Well, it needs to be above the
buildings of Dusk Wall.
511
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:05,600
All of them.
But it's not, you know, just a
512
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:09,520
dot up in the sky.
Is dusk fall on a hill at all?
513
00:35:09,720 --> 00:35:12,520
Is there like a higher part of
dusk fall that would maybe
514
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:15,320
overlook this and I could take a
glider down into it?
515
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:18,560
Well, it's on the sea, so I
suppose I could slope towards
516
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:20,760
that.
OK, no, probably not.
517
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:23,120
OK, never mind.
We should gather more
518
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:24,200
information.
Not too much.
519
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:27,080
We should probably just do it.
But I do have AI do have a
520
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:29,600
disguise kit that I could use a
fine disguise kit.
521
00:35:30,240 --> 00:35:37,080
Fantastic, I.
Would like, I don't know how
522
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:42,040
much in how much this is going
to get me, but I would like to
523
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:47,440
study any available knowledge
that I can find on the covenant.
524
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:51,160
Interesting.
Do you have a contact who might
525
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:57,160
be able to help with that?
Does anybody have a contact who
526
00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:01,360
might be able to help?
With that, how much do you think
527
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:07,200
Lord Scurlock would know?
Scurlock's been around, so he's
528
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:12,880
not really about the new stuff.
My friend is Steiner, an
529
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:16,120
assassin.
Would they have anything we
530
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:19,720
could work with?
It seems doubtful.
531
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:23,880
Yeah.
I know an extortionist.
532
00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:28,480
Drug dealers, OK.
I know an extortionist.
533
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:29,760
Punching above our weight class,
huh?
534
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:30,640
Yeah.
Yeah, A.
535
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:32,320
Little bit.
Yeah, it happened.
536
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:37,320
That's OK.
Oh, I'm not saying you can't do
537
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:39,720
it, I'm just saying I could have
given you better information.
538
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:45,960
Oh OK, hey, rolled a pair of
five.
539
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:50,880
All right, cool.
And of course, I closed my
540
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:55,040
notepad with the information on
it.
541
00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:58,280
Your subject, Admiral Bomar, ran
into some sort of trouble in the
542
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:01,400
Death Lands that led to his
current assignment.
543
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:04,240
That's about Oh, you can really
find out.
544
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:07,000
Ran into some trouble in the
death way.
545
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:10,640
Yeah, it's kind of weirdly
difficult to find information on
546
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:12,120
what that trouble was.
Well, why?
547
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:15,640
Don't we ask him?
It's not all that weird.
548
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:18,480
It's been redacted.
That is 1 theory.
549
00:37:19,240 --> 00:37:21,120
We can ask him personally if we
need to.
550
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:26,080
Pimp her them.
I haven't decided yet, OK?
551
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:29,120
No, OK.
OK, Yeah.
552
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:31,400
I will have passed the rest of
the group.
553
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:35,480
OK.
And while you guys are like
554
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:40,240
gathering information, I think
I'm just hitting a punching bag.
555
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:45,040
It's like I can't, I can't
assist in any in any matter.
556
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:47,120
What would you like to roll for
that?
557
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:50,720
I'm a roll skirmish.
OK.
558
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:56,520
I got 2IN skirmish I hold a
four.
559
00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:00,040
When you hit a punching bag, it
makes a funny noise.
560
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:03,960
That is the information you
gather, Nathan.
561
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:07,480
Any ideas?
Sorry, Sell.
562
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:12,040
I'm getting it.
Well, maybe I can't get anything
563
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:18,400
from our about our target, but
if I'm a tracker it'd be good to
564
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:20,240
know about the place we're
going.
565
00:38:20,240 --> 00:38:23,120
So I'm going to try and find out
everything I can about this
566
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:31,880
ship, lay out crew, etcetera.
Patrol route, Yeah.
567
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:34,920
All right.
And what rating are you going to
568
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:37,640
roll with there?
Good question.
569
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:43,320
The most fitting would probably
be survey study would.
570
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:46,440
Be which I do have two dots in,
so yeah, probably that.
571
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:50,640
All right, just I guess Hunt
makes sense too.
572
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:56,040
Which I also didn't so OK a
three into 6.
573
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:01,560
You take the higher number, so
that'd be the six.
574
00:39:02,240 --> 00:39:06,440
Yep, I got a six.
Yes, you did.
575
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:08,920
I wrote down some potential
information.
576
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:10,600
I'm trying to figure out where
the hell I wrote it.
577
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:16,680
OK, the covenant More is for
maintenance once a week.
578
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:21,360
It's might seem like an ideal
time to, you know, hop aboard,
579
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:24,800
but actually bringing it down to
the ground is such an ordeal
580
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:27,640
that this is the most guarded it
ever is.
581
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:32,600
That's.
It not many people getting on or
582
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:34,320
off.
Yeah, it makes sense.
583
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:37,040
I.
Mean we could theoretically
584
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:41,360
during the chaos of that we
could try to sneak on side of
585
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:46,040
it, but if all the but not do
anything until it ascends.
586
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:48,880
But that would require us to
stay hidden for quite a while.
587
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:54,240
All right, everybody.
And then there's the matter of
588
00:39:54,240 --> 00:40:00,880
getting out when we're done.
How do you make a lifeboat for a
589
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:02,880
sky ship?
Yeah.
590
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:05,560
Do they have parachutes or
gliders or any sort of escape
591
00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:07,680
thing?
Roll me a luck check.
592
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:11,280
Just AD 6.
Who's doing it?
593
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:16,200
Whoever you'd like to.
I'll do it a rolled 5.
594
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:21,160
You sure hope so.
Cool.
595
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:22,680
They've definitely been testing
them.
596
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:26,560
How those tests have gone up in
the air so far.
597
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:31,120
So is the thing fully up in the
air?
598
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:34,720
There's no like chain or
anything that's keeping it like
599
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:37,880
anchored as it were.
No, it moves around.
600
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:40,280
That would do a lot of damage to
the city.
601
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:45,240
OK, yeah, OK.
And there's no how do people get
602
00:40:45,240 --> 00:40:47,080
up and down when it's not
landed?
603
00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:52,320
Are there smaller like air
dinghies or like do people only
604
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:55,560
really get up and down when it's
landed?
605
00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:01,880
Mostly when it's landed, there's
no, you know, lifeboats or
606
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:05,640
whatever.
I suppose a spark runner rig
607
00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:10,840
would do some good there, but
then you're at the whims of what
608
00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:12,840
structures actually exist in the
ghost field.
609
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:17,000
You know, climbing gear if you
got real ambitious.
610
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:23,120
Anybody got a balloon?
A climbing gear it could be
611
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:25,520
found if that's the way you want
to do it.
612
00:41:25,720 --> 00:41:30,960
I mean, it would be
unfortunately rather obvious if
613
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:34,200
a balloon just sort of came up.
Yeah, very too.
614
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:38,160
Obvious.
Unless there was a balloon
615
00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:41,360
parade.
Well, the annual balloon parade
616
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:44,120
is coming up.
That's what I thought.
617
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:54,400
They they release a whole bunch
of balloons on Princess's
618
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:57,360
birthday every year.
Princess.
619
00:41:57,360 --> 00:42:00,680
No, the Emperor is sterile.
Extra sterile, in fact, they
620
00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:01,360
call it.
Huh.
621
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:05,640
Extra sterile.
Oh, they just release, they
622
00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:08,600
release a bunch of balloons.
I was thinking like floats like
623
00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:10,760
the Macy's Thanksgiving Day
Parade or something.
624
00:42:12,240 --> 00:42:16,920
Well like we can just steal a
Goku balloon and they use it to
625
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:20,080
sneak on.
If one starts floating away,
626
00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:24,560
somebody's going to notice.
You're right.
627
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:25,640
And what are they going to do
about it?
628
00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:28,080
Yeah.
I mean.
629
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:32,400
It might be a little, it might
be a little much.
630
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:37,840
You are correct.
I mean, I think we just got to
631
00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:40,040
go in when it's being guarded,
right?
632
00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:43,040
I mean that sucks, but that's
just got to be it because it's
633
00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:45,640
on the ground unless any of you
have wings.
634
00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:51,120
Not yet.
So here's what we do.
635
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:54,960
If people are OK with me saying
this, I'm not the Spider.
636
00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:57,720
But the Spider doesn't get to
make the plans right now because
637
00:42:57,720 --> 00:43:01,640
they're they're the GM we.
Spider sets things up.
638
00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:03,160
Spider doesn't go on the
missions.
639
00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:11,120
We go in either in disguise or
just hidden.
640
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:15,720
We lose ourselves.
Perhaps we even find one of the
641
00:43:15,720 --> 00:43:19,160
vendors or something that helps
do the repairs, smuggle
642
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:21,200
ourselves in with some of the
equipment, sneak in.
643
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:25,440
However we managed to sneak in,
we get on board, we don't do
644
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:30,440
any, and we just stay chill on
the ship for a little while
645
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:33,800
until it ascends.
Then we beat the shit out of the
646
00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:41,920
guy and then we get out.
How about we don't wait until it
647
00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:44,440
ascends?
I just worry with all of the
648
00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:45,960
guards that that might be
dangerous.
649
00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:49,680
But you're right, getting out
becomes also extremely
650
00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:52,360
dangerous.
Guards can be dealt with.
651
00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:54,520
I crack my knuckles.
All.
652
00:43:56,680 --> 00:43:57,880
Right.
There are a lot of guards
653
00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:00,200
though.
I have a lot of knuckles.
654
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:06,320
So it sort of sounds like we're
going for a deception engagement
655
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:08,440
here.
Yes, I think, I think it's
656
00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:11,480
deception is deception is our
approach.
657
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:14,600
What happens after that?
Who knows, but our approach is
658
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:16,920
deception.
So the detail we need is the
659
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:23,640
method of deception.
Disguising our skies as workmen.
660
00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:28,440
Yeah, OK.
And I did need to know, you
661
00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:32,880
know, whether you're disguising
as workmen or soldiers because
662
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:35,440
that would probably be two very
different levels of scrutiny.
663
00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:37,960
Yeah.
Indeed.
664
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:43,600
All right, now I need a whole
bunch of D sixes maybe.
665
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:51,960
All right, one die for luck.
Major advantage.
666
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:55,720
It is on the ground, however, it
is the most guarded It it was
667
00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:58,120
going to be during the week, so
no die there.
668
00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:04,440
Another die for unknown factors.
That unknown factor being we
669
00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:07,440
need to get the game going, so
I'm putting a dice there.
670
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:13,400
Yeah, another die for another
unknown factor.
671
00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:17,440
All right, Now, where can I roll
where it's not going to
672
00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:42,120
absolutely destroy my waveform
5 risky.
673
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:46,600
OK, makes sense.
Yeah, Track, Yeah.
674
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:55,720
All right, so let's see.
Actually, quick break.
675
00:45:55,720 --> 00:45:57,800
I'm going to grab some water
while I think about what this
676
00:45:57,800 --> 00:45:59,240
should be.
OK.
677
00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:02,920
Yep.
The door kicking nature of
678
00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:07,040
things means that you're in and
the situation is risky.
679
00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:13,960
OK, so we've already gotten in.
You've gotten past the gates
680
00:46:13,960 --> 00:46:15,560
anyway.
We've gotten past the gates.
681
00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:18,120
All right, let's get on to the
ship.
682
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:20,520
Everyone's back.
Yes.
683
00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:25,400
OK, you arrive on the scene, you
make it through the gates
684
00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:28,280
without too much question.
Everybody's credentials look
685
00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:31,960
more or less how they expect.
The problem is just the sheer
686
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:36,720
number of people around.
It's also exceedingly noisy.
687
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:39,800
OK.
Noisy is good.
688
00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:43,600
It can be.
We have the cover of all this
689
00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:45,000
noise.
Certainly.
690
00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:49,800
I was supposed to use Sway to
convince people that we need to
691
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:55,320
get onto the ship for, you know,
various repairs and whatnot.
692
00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:57,600
Does that seem reasonable for
folks?
693
00:46:58,000 --> 00:46:59,760
Makes sense to me.
Yeah.
694
00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:03,480
OK.
Now, is this the thing where
695
00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:06,320
everybody would need to make
that we think, or do you think I
696
00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:08,880
could just do that?
I think you can do that on your
697
00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:10,360
own.
Do that on my own, OK.
698
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:14,320
I could assist.
You'll you will be sort of
699
00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:18,160
establishing yourself as the
face of this group that you're
700
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:22,240
leading around, yes.
Which I guess that's what slides
701
00:47:22,240 --> 00:47:26,520
are for, yeah.
Yes, but because it will
702
00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:33,480
probably matter at some point.
I am taking load 6 but the extra
703
00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:38,200
load is going to be in a what
looks like a toolbox all.
704
00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:39,360
Right.
Fair enough.
705
00:47:39,560 --> 00:47:44,120
I'm bringing 5 load.
Do you just choose that?
706
00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:47,200
That's my normal.
Normal or heavy?
707
00:47:47,240 --> 00:47:49,480
Yeah, I said 5 but normal I'm
bringing normal mode.
708
00:47:49,720 --> 00:47:50,880
Yeah, OK.
Yeah.
709
00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:55,480
I'm gonna go with heavy my my
heavy weapon, however, is a
710
00:47:55,480 --> 00:47:58,080
sledgehammer.
OK, Andy.
711
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:00,880
What are you about?
You.
712
00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:03,920
Oh God, it wasn't Luna.
Cell.
713
00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:07,040
Name cell.
OK, sorry.
714
00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:08,480
I'm sorry remembering everyone's
names.
715
00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:11,520
Yeah.
I'm going to use, but Oh yeah,
716
00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:12,520
go ahead.
What are you?
717
00:48:12,520 --> 00:48:17,920
Doing I'm going, I think light
for now, OK.
718
00:48:19,920 --> 00:48:23,000
Well, you have to establish what
it is before the thing.
719
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:25,640
Starts because this is
infiltration.
720
00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:31,000
I can't think of a good excuse
to, so I will not be bringing my
721
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:32,880
rifle.
I'll be bringing a pair of
722
00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:35,080
pistols.
OK.
723
00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:37,840
You don't need to establish what
you're carrying.
724
00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:39,880
You just need to establish how
much you're carrying.
725
00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:40,600
Yeah.
Yeah.
726
00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:45,080
I always do.
I do appreciate that also, it's
727
00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:45,840
been a long.
Yeah, it's pretty.
728
00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:47,800
Neat.
It's been a long fucking time
729
00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:49,760
since I've played Blades.
I've done it before.
730
00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:52,440
It's been a while.
My confidence earlier was not
731
00:48:52,440 --> 00:48:59,800
earned all right.
So I am just going to I'm going
732
00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:03,520
to walk with a purpose leading
us all just like onto the ship
733
00:49:03,520 --> 00:49:06,480
itself.
I assume I will be stopped at
734
00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:11,400
some point and I will lose.
I will use my sway of just like
735
00:49:11,400 --> 00:49:16,040
body language and also my fine
disguise kit and documents both
736
00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:19,200
equipment that I'm bringing that
should increase the effect of
737
00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:20,880
what I am doing.
Certainly.
738
00:49:21,320 --> 00:49:24,120
You're actually stopped pretty
briefly into the gate, so you
739
00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:26,240
don't make it quick to the ship.
I'm going to call this a three
740
00:49:26,240 --> 00:49:28,720
tick clock to get it on.
This makes sense.
741
00:49:28,720 --> 00:49:34,320
This makes sense.
I'm going to do my sway.
742
00:49:34,640 --> 00:49:38,400
What's the risk here?
What's our What are we feeling?
743
00:49:39,240 --> 00:49:42,840
Position will be risky effect.
Sounds like it'll be great
744
00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:45,440
effect given all the equipment
and specialty you have.
745
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:47,600
You know what?
I'm going to push myself.
746
00:49:48,520 --> 00:49:55,840
OK for position.
Effect effect.
747
00:49:56,040 --> 00:49:58,000
I want to just get on
immediately.
748
00:49:58,120 --> 00:50:01,520
Extreme effect, OK.
Yes, I do.
749
00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:04,880
You know who I am sort of shit.
Absolutely.
750
00:50:07,560 --> 00:50:11,800
The most renowned repairman.
Yes, this ship's going to
751
00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:14,760
collapse if you don't have me on
it right here.
752
00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:18,280
I mean, it's not me necessarily,
but my team is the best.
753
00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:24,240
I got a 5.
All right, it's going to be two
754
00:50:24,240 --> 00:50:29,360
ticks on the clock, but your
blather has convinced people
755
00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:32,760
that what you're going to be
doing is an absolute spectacle
756
00:50:32,760 --> 00:50:36,240
that they'll want to behold.
Oh shit, God damn it.
757
00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:43,560
You know, because God forbid
anything goes smoothly 100%.
758
00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:47,280
I mean, I got 5, it's fine.
Of course you can't resist the
759
00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:51,080
consequences, but that just
seems like it fits really well.
760
00:50:51,680 --> 00:50:53,440
No, I'm fine with this.
I'm fine with this.
761
00:50:54,240 --> 00:50:55,680
I already used some stress
already.
762
00:50:55,680 --> 00:50:57,000
I don't want to.
I don't want to resist.
763
00:50:57,000 --> 00:50:58,640
I can't.
I can't have all the stress in
764
00:50:58,640 --> 00:51:00,640
the world.
There's only so much good spicy
765
00:51:00,640 --> 00:51:05,480
food out there.
Yeah, somebody else roll.
766
00:51:06,920 --> 00:51:08,760
Somebody.
Else can I resist?
767
00:51:11,360 --> 00:51:16,680
In what way?
Can I just stand there and look
768
00:51:16,680 --> 00:51:21,960
super intimidating?
So people cower and decide that
769
00:51:23,240 --> 00:51:24,720
they're going to mind their own
business.
770
00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:27,440
I don't know that that's
necessarily resistance.
771
00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:30,760
It could be its own role.
OK, fearsome aspect.
772
00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:34,480
And that does what exactly?
When you intimidate, threaten,
773
00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:36,080
or commit violence, you're
terrifying.
774
00:51:36,080 --> 00:51:38,680
Ask the GM who flees or
surrenders, who backs off
775
00:51:38,680 --> 00:51:42,440
slowly, and who hesitates.
Well, this would definitely be
776
00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:43,960
intimidation.
What are you rolling?
777
00:51:48,160 --> 00:51:49,760
Command.
Probably command.
778
00:51:50,040 --> 00:51:51,280
Yeah, I have two in.
Command.
779
00:51:52,760 --> 00:51:54,000
All right, I have two in
command.
780
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:56,880
I'm going to push myself.
For position or effect.
781
00:51:57,720 --> 00:52:00,000
What's the position like
Position.
782
00:52:02,040 --> 00:52:05,920
Let's, let's, I'm not going to
say it's desperate, although
783
00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:10,600
there are a lot of eyes on you.
I'll call it risky standard
784
00:52:10,600 --> 00:52:15,640
effect.
Effect.
785
00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:25,200
OK, great effect.
I got 2 fours and A1.
786
00:52:26,360 --> 00:52:31,120
Success with complications, you
are on the ship, somebody flees
787
00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:33,160
Absolutely, because you used
fearsome aspect.
788
00:52:33,160 --> 00:52:36,840
It has to happen.
I think other workers flee.
789
00:52:36,840 --> 00:52:39,480
The military men are made of
sterner stuff.
790
00:52:39,960 --> 00:52:42,640
OK.
Well, we can work with this.
791
00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:46,480
Yep.
So you're on the ship.
792
00:52:46,840 --> 00:52:49,360
The problem is people are
watching you on the ship.
793
00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:51,000
Yeah.
You have.
794
00:52:51,400 --> 00:52:56,320
You have guaranteed it was so.
We're on the ship, guys.
795
00:52:56,840 --> 00:52:58,440
This is great.
OK, I thought.
796
00:52:58,440 --> 00:53:01,480
I thought I just rolled to have
people not watch us.
797
00:53:03,160 --> 00:53:05,800
They didn't stop you was the
outcome.
798
00:53:05,960 --> 00:53:08,840
Oh, OK.
And that's how you made it on
799
00:53:08,840 --> 00:53:13,080
the ship.
There are less people watching
800
00:53:13,080 --> 00:53:15,680
us than before you did that.
However, there are still people
801
00:53:15,680 --> 00:53:18,560
watching us.
Yes, I think if I'm
802
00:53:18,560 --> 00:53:20,440
understanding correctly.
They're not watching
803
00:53:20,440 --> 00:53:23,320
aggressively, they're watching
with much interest.
804
00:53:23,720 --> 00:53:29,600
So that's going for you.
So I guess you guys better fix
805
00:53:29,600 --> 00:53:35,080
some stuff.
I'm.
806
00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:44,800
I wonder if I could use this
chance to break away 'cause I
807
00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:47,840
can.
I've got good Prowl and I've got
808
00:53:47,840 --> 00:53:51,760
good Hunt, so if I can break
away from prying eyes I could
809
00:53:51,760 --> 00:53:55,400
probably find our our guy all
right.
810
00:53:56,040 --> 00:53:58,000
So be more fitting for breaking
away.
811
00:53:58,040 --> 00:53:59,560
Hunt would be for chasing
someone.
812
00:54:01,280 --> 00:54:02,640
Nathan.
Dammit.
813
00:54:02,920 --> 00:54:03,880
Yeah, that's me.
Do you?
814
00:54:04,320 --> 00:54:06,200
Do you mind if I do something
first?
815
00:54:06,280 --> 00:54:11,360
Because what I had in mind that
I was gonna do if it works would
816
00:54:11,360 --> 00:54:12,640
probably help you out.
But.
817
00:54:13,040 --> 00:54:15,280
Go ahead then, yeah.
So.
818
00:54:16,160 --> 00:54:20,600
I'm gonna.
My character is going to
819
00:54:20,600 --> 00:54:25,720
concentrate for a couple of
moments as we're kinda walking
820
00:54:25,720 --> 00:54:33,720
onto the ship.
Now, as I mentioned earlier,
821
00:54:34,760 --> 00:54:42,760
basically Severian here pretty
much always wears their spirit
822
00:54:42,760 --> 00:54:46,760
mask.
Does it seem like there is
823
00:54:46,760 --> 00:54:54,080
anybody who is like strong
spiritually, like who has a
824
00:54:54,080 --> 00:54:57,920
strong spiritual presence on the
ship after we get on the ship?
825
00:54:59,080 --> 00:55:01,280
Roll me a luck rock.
Luck roll.
826
00:55:05,840 --> 00:55:08,800
That's a four.
All right, there's, you know,
827
00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:13,800
some people who are a little
more inclined towards the ghost
828
00:55:13,800 --> 00:55:15,640
field.
Nothing as special.
829
00:55:16,120 --> 00:55:19,760
OK, yeah, that was more
information gathering than
830
00:55:19,760 --> 00:55:23,640
anything else.
So now to the thing that I
831
00:55:23,640 --> 00:55:30,000
wanted to do, I would like to
attune to the ghost feel and
832
00:55:32,120 --> 00:55:38,200
essentially make, even if it
doesn't actually make it darker,
833
00:55:38,240 --> 00:55:45,920
make it seem like to everybody
in like the vicinity that it is
834
00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:53,640
darker in this area.
OK, this is going to be
835
00:55:53,880 --> 00:55:58,240
desperate reduced effect because
there is already so little
836
00:55:58,240 --> 00:56:07,280
light.
I mean I would think there would
837
00:56:07,280 --> 00:56:12,640
be more light inside of a ship
but.
838
00:56:16,200 --> 00:56:20,280
Oh, I'm imagining you're on the
deck at the moment.
839
00:56:20,280 --> 00:56:21,120
Oh.
OK, see.
840
00:56:21,120 --> 00:56:24,200
Yeah, that.
Just setting foot on the ship.
841
00:56:26,280 --> 00:56:30,080
OK, so change that just a little
bit.
842
00:56:33,840 --> 00:56:37,400
I would like to make us less
noticeable now.
843
00:56:37,400 --> 00:56:38,920
Fuzzing.
Yeah.
844
00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:46,760
All right, still desperate
because there's people staring
845
00:56:46,760 --> 00:56:48,120
directly at you as you're doing
this.
846
00:56:48,320 --> 00:56:53,880
Yeah, that track normal effect
OK or standard I believe is the
847
00:56:53,880 --> 00:56:54,840
phrasing.
You know what?
848
00:56:55,640 --> 00:57:01,720
I'm gonna push myself for a
fact, and I still get the dice
849
00:57:01,720 --> 00:57:04,840
for that, right?
Yes.
850
00:57:05,400 --> 00:57:08,000
You get too stressed and you get
too stressed.
851
00:57:08,600 --> 00:57:13,440
Everybody gets too stressed.
I forget, take the dice.
852
00:57:18,960 --> 00:57:23,680
That is A5 all right.
So it's not so much that you
853
00:57:23,680 --> 00:57:30,160
become harder to notice.
You, for some unpalpable reason,
854
00:57:30,520 --> 00:57:35,120
become less pleasant to look at.
Nobody sort of turns away
855
00:57:35,760 --> 00:57:37,840
uncomfortably.
Nice the.
856
00:57:39,160 --> 00:57:41,640
Desired effect.
Go hide.
857
00:57:43,040 --> 00:57:47,080
Yeah.
Wait, sis, go hide.
858
00:57:47,080 --> 00:57:50,960
Everybody scrambles.
I'll fix it.
859
00:57:54,320 --> 00:57:59,480
I've got some prowl I can hide.
I've got like a monkey wrench
860
00:57:59,520 --> 00:58:02,920
and a screwdriver and I'm just
looking at them just.
861
00:58:08,600 --> 00:58:10,760
Shall I?
Shall I bonk some stuff with my
862
00:58:10,760 --> 00:58:14,680
sledgehammer?
To weapon I don't.
863
00:58:15,400 --> 00:58:18,320
Know fix quote, UN quote, fix
something.
864
00:58:18,800 --> 00:58:22,160
Eyes are off of you.
Save the Save the sledgehammer
865
00:58:22,160 --> 00:58:26,440
for the Yeah.
So now we can we can do real
866
00:58:26,440 --> 00:58:29,640
work.
OK, you know it's good work.
867
00:58:29,800 --> 00:58:35,680
That's fine then, motherfucker.
Yeah, I have good hunt.
868
00:58:36,600 --> 00:58:41,800
So I would like to I would like
to try and track this guy down.
869
00:58:43,320 --> 00:58:45,600
OK.
And did anybody have a military
870
00:58:45,600 --> 00:58:47,200
background, by the way?
I do.
871
00:58:48,840 --> 00:58:53,720
Oh, all right.
So I think that'll probably help
872
00:58:53,720 --> 00:58:56,600
with your role for figuring out
where an Admiral would be.
873
00:58:57,040 --> 00:59:01,920
Yes, probably.
Now I don't really like to get
874
00:59:01,920 --> 00:59:05,320
my hands dirty.
Imagine that I have just like
875
00:59:05,320 --> 00:59:07,200
looking at my nails as I'm
saying this.
876
00:59:08,160 --> 00:59:14,960
Should I stay here and like look
like I'm fixing stuff or should
877
00:59:14,960 --> 00:59:18,640
I come with you guys?
Is it, would it be useful for me
878
00:59:18,800 --> 00:59:23,720
to be out here diversionally or
should I just come with you
879
00:59:23,720 --> 00:59:24,600
guys?
What do we think?
880
00:59:28,560 --> 00:59:31,440
What do you guys think?
OK, OK, you got this.
881
00:59:31,640 --> 00:59:32,960
I'll, I'll stay out here and fix
it.
882
00:59:33,560 --> 00:59:34,680
Oh, I think we should go with
them.
883
00:59:35,120 --> 00:59:36,720
Oh, I'll go with them.
OK, I'll go with them.
884
00:59:36,920 --> 00:59:38,280
That's fine.
Might as well.
885
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:42,000
Says this the spider from the
middle distance.
886
00:59:43,840 --> 00:59:45,200
No, no, that wasn't my character
voice.
887
00:59:46,120 --> 00:59:48,040
You should go with it.
Pardon.
888
00:59:51,080 --> 00:59:55,400
All right, well, we better go
fix that stuff over there.
889
00:59:57,600 --> 01:00:01,240
Fix, fix, fix.
Fix Nathan, you were going to
890
01:00:01,240 --> 01:00:04,400
roll Hunt.
I will give that a position of
891
01:00:05,480 --> 01:00:08,000
controlled effect.
Great because you have a
892
01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:09,800
military background.
All right.
893
01:00:10,800 --> 01:00:13,000
You can probably find some
captain's quarters.
894
01:00:13,360 --> 01:00:16,040
So I just rolled 2 twos.
Jesus.
895
01:00:16,320 --> 01:00:19,080
All right, you cannot find some
captain's quarters.
896
01:00:21,440 --> 01:00:26,280
You do find, however.
A big fat load of nothing.
897
01:00:26,400 --> 01:00:32,840
Yeah, yeah.
About that much I will say, You
898
01:00:32,840 --> 01:00:35,000
know, you've been on ships
before.
899
01:00:35,600 --> 01:00:40,440
Not Sky ships, obviously, but
this one seems a lot quieter
900
01:00:40,440 --> 01:00:42,800
than you'd expect.
That's people wise.
901
01:00:42,800 --> 01:00:44,840
It's actually cacophonously
loud, yeah.
902
01:00:45,400 --> 01:00:51,320
That makes sense.
I guess all the they said there
903
01:00:51,320 --> 01:00:55,320
was a skeleton crew and I guess
that makes a sort of sense.
904
01:00:58,000 --> 01:00:59,760
No one's come to bother us yet,
have they?
905
01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:02,120
If not, I will just continue to
follow along.
906
01:01:02,360 --> 01:01:04,600
I'm in charge of handling things
if people bother us.
907
01:01:04,840 --> 01:01:07,440
You are unpleasant to look at at
the moment, right?
908
01:01:07,440 --> 01:01:11,840
Of course this is.
Truly my worst nightmare.
909
01:01:14,120 --> 01:01:18,400
You are able to roll with the
same action rating if you'd like
910
01:01:18,640 --> 01:01:24,680
with a reduced effect or
position, or you can just try
911
01:01:24,680 --> 01:01:30,320
something else.
OK, so my idea, the only way I
912
01:01:30,320 --> 01:01:33,040
can help is grab somebody and
command them to tell us where
913
01:01:33,040 --> 01:01:36,680
the captain's quarters is.
Severian, do you have anything?
914
01:01:38,880 --> 01:01:43,640
Well, I would like to try and
magic my way out of this, even
915
01:01:43,640 --> 01:01:47,160
though magic of course doesn't
work in blades.
916
01:01:47,160 --> 01:01:48,880
But that's neither here nor
there.
917
01:01:52,080 --> 01:01:57,760
I would like to, since, you
know, the ship is at least
918
01:01:57,760 --> 01:02:00,760
partially run by ghosts.
Or powered by ghosts, I should
919
01:02:00,760 --> 01:02:03,480
say.
Yeah, run by ghosts would be
920
01:02:03,480 --> 01:02:06,360
scary.
We just make batteries out of.
921
01:02:09,520 --> 01:02:12,920
Jesus, that's so much worse.
I so much worse.
922
01:02:13,000 --> 01:02:16,320
It's.
Kind of like horse glue.
923
01:02:16,880 --> 01:02:19,400
So yeah, I have two options.
I'm going to go with the
924
01:02:19,400 --> 01:02:24,280
potentially less dangerous
option and I would like to
925
01:02:24,280 --> 01:02:29,840
attune to the ghost feel to see
if that could give me slightly
926
01:02:29,840 --> 01:02:34,800
better bearings on where the
captain's quarters may be.
927
01:02:37,400 --> 01:02:45,080
Maybe ask a, you know, a goat.
Huh.
928
01:02:45,080 --> 01:02:50,320
All right, Risky standard.
OK.
929
01:02:52,920 --> 01:02:55,240
I don't.
Know actually you know what
930
01:02:57,320 --> 01:02:58,640
let's.
Make it more dangerous.
931
01:02:58,800 --> 01:03:05,360
Can I trade position for a fact?
Christ desperate.
932
01:03:05,960 --> 01:03:11,400
Great.
Or I could just like, or I could
933
01:03:11,400 --> 01:03:18,360
just throw 2 hunt again and you
know, for for at a less safe
934
01:03:18,360 --> 01:03:20,720
position.
That was what?
935
01:03:20,720 --> 01:03:22,960
Man, I don't know my way around
this ship.
936
01:03:23,080 --> 01:03:31,000
I guess I'll summon a ghost.
Up to you guys.
937
01:03:31,760 --> 01:03:36,840
I I'm down to do the roll.
Of course you are.
938
01:03:38,080 --> 01:03:42,120
I mean, do it.
I I think it is a bad idea, go
939
01:03:42,120 --> 01:03:45,840
ahead and do it.
Sell too busy trying to find the
940
01:03:45,840 --> 01:03:49,960
Admirals, Gavin.
Everybody else lost on their own
941
01:03:49,960 --> 01:03:52,040
world.
Well, I rolled A4.
942
01:03:52,520 --> 01:03:55,840
All right, so success with
complication, yes, you have
943
01:03:55,840 --> 01:03:59,520
someone to ghost.
The complication being you have
944
01:03:59,520 --> 01:04:03,160
someone to ghost.
When this happens, everybody
945
01:04:03,160 --> 01:04:07,720
needs to freeze or needs to roll
a resistance to resist freezing
946
01:04:07,720 --> 01:04:12,640
or fleeing.
Yeah, I can do that resolve.
947
01:04:12,840 --> 01:04:14,080
I might resist.
Yeah.
948
01:04:14,240 --> 01:04:16,440
Prowess.
All right.
949
01:04:16,760 --> 01:04:20,880
How are you resisting?
What is your resolve or prowess
950
01:04:20,880 --> 01:04:22,680
resistance look like in this
situation?
951
01:04:23,120 --> 01:04:30,280
I summoned the damn ghost like
hey motherfucker, tell me where
952
01:04:30,280 --> 01:04:35,560
I will, you know, I want to go,
and then you can go back to
953
01:04:35,560 --> 01:04:37,560
doing your own ghost thing.
Come on now.
954
01:04:37,800 --> 01:04:42,400
Well, messing around with the
undead is very clearly dead.
955
01:04:42,400 --> 01:04:46,280
In this case, I suppose is
somewhat of a traumatic
956
01:04:46,280 --> 01:04:48,520
experience, and even experienced
mysteries have.
957
01:04:48,520 --> 01:04:53,560
Trouble Oh yeah, but I mean,
that's basically how how my
958
01:04:53,560 --> 01:04:58,080
character is justifying.
It's like look just and also
959
01:04:59,080 --> 01:05:03,560
characters not 100% from this
world so they'll have some other
960
01:05:03,560 --> 01:05:08,120
hangout, you know, hang ups from
their previous existence.
961
01:05:09,400 --> 01:05:13,200
I will say I will use resolve to
not be afraid because I think
962
01:05:13,200 --> 01:05:15,000
that lines up.
That's what resolve is.
963
01:05:17,040 --> 01:05:19,880
That makes sense.
And I rolled up five for my
964
01:05:19,880 --> 01:05:23,760
resistance, by the way.
So one stress.
965
01:05:25,320 --> 01:05:27,360
I actually rolled A6 for my
resistance.
966
01:05:27,800 --> 01:05:30,640
Zero stress.
You ain't afraid of this ghost.
967
01:05:30,920 --> 01:05:33,240
I ain't afraid of this ghost.
Remind me how?
968
01:05:33,240 --> 01:05:36,680
Say about other ones.
Resistance stats work please.
969
01:05:37,760 --> 01:05:43,240
You have 3 overarching
categories and the vertical
970
01:05:43,320 --> 01:05:46,120
before the line there is the
number of dots you have to roll
971
01:05:46,120 --> 01:05:50,080
for your resistance.
So kind of how many skills you
972
01:05:50,080 --> 01:05:54,800
have total in that category?
Is your resistance for resolve
973
01:05:54,840 --> 01:05:55,720
prowess or?
Yeah.
974
01:05:56,240 --> 01:05:58,320
And.
So for example, I have three
975
01:05:58,320 --> 01:06:00,640
skills in prowess.
I have prowess, Skirmish, and
976
01:06:00,640 --> 01:06:02,480
Rex.
So I'm going to roll 3 dice and
977
01:06:02,480 --> 01:06:07,160
resist with prowess.
I will resist with insight then
978
01:06:08,760 --> 01:06:13,720
'cause I have 3 in that.
All right, So what sort of thing
979
01:06:13,720 --> 01:06:15,960
do you know about?
Yeah, yeah.
980
01:06:16,600 --> 01:06:22,080
It's, it's logic, right?
I know it's a ghost, but it was
981
01:06:22,080 --> 01:06:27,360
summoned by an ally.
It is going to be objectively
982
01:06:27,360 --> 01:06:31,960
helpful.
I can like I can reason my way
983
01:06:31,960 --> 01:06:34,640
through this.
I I know that it is just brain
984
01:06:34,640 --> 01:06:39,080
chemicals.
More people are killed by Blue
985
01:06:39,080 --> 01:06:41,200
Coats every year than ghosts.
It's a nihil, Rita.
986
01:06:41,200 --> 01:06:43,640
There you go.
Yeah, pretty much.
987
01:06:44,000 --> 01:06:46,400
So I rolled one of those is a
six.
988
01:06:46,400 --> 01:06:49,240
So that's pretty great.
Zero stress.
989
01:06:51,040 --> 01:06:56,200
Oh me, now I punch myself in the
face and that snaps me out of
990
01:06:56,200 --> 01:06:59,240
being scared.
OK.
991
01:07:00,240 --> 01:07:06,080
Hey, whatever works.
Shit, highest roll is 4.
992
01:07:07,080 --> 01:07:08,800
That's still only two stress.
OK.
993
01:07:09,800 --> 01:07:11,400
Punching yourself in the.
Face.
994
01:07:13,000 --> 01:07:17,800
Yeah, apparently.
All right, the machinist, right?
995
01:07:17,920 --> 01:07:19,840
Or was it the mechanic?
The mechanic.
996
01:07:21,320 --> 01:07:25,520
All right, the mechanic as the
ghost fills you with images of
997
01:07:25,520 --> 01:07:28,360
its final moments.
It also points towards the
998
01:07:28,360 --> 01:07:30,840
Admiral's camp at Admiral's
cabin.
999
01:07:30,840 --> 01:07:33,920
So that'd be the success part of
the success with complications,
1000
01:07:33,920 --> 01:07:35,960
Yeah.
Thank you.
1001
01:07:37,000 --> 01:07:40,440
It's pretty obvious and it's
kind of a fluke that Cell didn't
1002
01:07:40,440 --> 01:07:45,200
know where it was.
Yeah, this is this is a great
1003
01:07:45,200 --> 01:07:52,960
start for great.
I I smack who I think of as the
1004
01:07:53,000 --> 01:07:57,160
new kid, 'cause you've recently
arrived at the back of head.
1005
01:07:58,000 --> 01:07:59,920
Did you need to summon a ghost
for that?
1006
01:08:01,600 --> 01:08:04,480
Hey, bud, you, you don't want to
be hitting me like that.
1007
01:08:05,080 --> 01:08:07,320
But it got us what we needed,
didn't it?
1008
01:08:07,680 --> 01:08:12,680
Do not summon ghosts is
extremely dangerous to summit
1009
01:08:12,680 --> 01:08:19,000
ghosts, especially when you have
eyes and I just give it like an
1010
01:08:19,080 --> 01:08:25,439
irritated scoff and sulk towards
the the Admiral's chambers.
1011
01:08:25,960 --> 01:08:27,680
Bold of you to assume they have
eyes.
1012
01:08:28,720 --> 01:08:32,880
Yeah, as you're, as you're
saying that, I turn to you and
1013
01:08:32,880 --> 01:08:39,040
you just see like a white
featureless mask as they still
1014
01:08:39,040 --> 01:08:43,279
have their spirit mask on like
no eyes, no nothing.
1015
01:08:45,920 --> 01:08:48,359
I wasn't afraid of the ghost.
I'm not afraid of you, darling.
1016
01:08:50,000 --> 01:08:54,240
I start lumbering towards
Admiral's quarters and as I as I
1017
01:08:54,240 --> 01:08:58,399
go, I sort of give a friendly
noogie to sell.
1018
01:08:58,960 --> 01:09:01,439
And it happens.
Happens to the best of us.
1019
01:09:01,960 --> 01:09:07,479
OK, this is itself very clearly
did not enjoy that, but is going
1020
01:09:07,479 --> 01:09:12,160
to remain professional.
All right.
1021
01:09:13,439 --> 01:09:14,040
We find this.
Out.
1022
01:09:14,720 --> 01:09:19,680
Yeah, Whose knees am I breaking?
Well, you found the quarters,
1023
01:09:19,720 --> 01:09:22,479
the doors locked.
I grabbed my hammer.
1024
01:09:22,479 --> 01:09:26,240
Yeah.
I was going to ask if anybody
1025
01:09:26,240 --> 01:09:31,120
has any tinker still if not.
I mean I can try.
1026
01:09:33,040 --> 01:09:36,800
Yeah, but the hammer would
probably be faster but louder.
1027
01:09:37,200 --> 01:09:40,359
It is noisy on the ship, but
yeah, I'm gonna, I'm gonna.
1028
01:09:40,920 --> 01:09:43,279
Yeah, You go ahead, Siberian.
Extremely noisy on the.
1029
01:09:43,520 --> 01:09:46,319
Ship, Yeah.
Go ahead Siberian if you wanna
1030
01:09:46,319 --> 01:09:47,800
if you wanna try and lock pick
this.
1031
01:09:49,319 --> 01:09:52,720
Yeah, so I'm gonna try and open
the lock.
1032
01:09:53,080 --> 01:10:00,360
Quiet like using my tinkering.
Sure, there's some.
1033
01:10:00,560 --> 01:10:04,720
I'm going to use my spider
ability Foresight, because twice
1034
01:10:04,720 --> 01:10:09,880
per score I can describe how my
careful preparations add +1 T to
1035
01:10:09,880 --> 01:10:15,400
a teammate's role.
My lock picks are better than
1036
01:10:15,400 --> 01:10:17,520
yours, give them a shot.
That works.
1037
01:10:24,120 --> 01:10:25,480
That's a 5.
Nice.
1038
01:10:27,360 --> 01:10:30,200
All right.
With every sound and click the
1039
01:10:30,200 --> 01:10:32,000
lock opens.
And.
1040
01:10:32,520 --> 01:10:33,240
OK.
Yeah, well.
1041
01:10:33,240 --> 01:10:35,080
The lock might open, but you
gotta open the door.
1042
01:10:37,200 --> 01:10:39,920
Yeah, yeah.
So I kinda just back away from
1043
01:10:39,920 --> 01:10:41,760
the door.
My job done.
1044
01:10:42,640 --> 01:10:44,280
You're up.
No, it's Dusk Wall.
1045
01:10:45,360 --> 01:10:47,160
Oh boy, says.
Fuck off.
1046
01:10:52,080 --> 01:10:59,120
After I.
OK question Hello I have a rage
1047
01:10:59,120 --> 01:11:03,480
essence what does it do?
Makes you angry.
1048
01:11:04,800 --> 01:11:08,320
At everything.
At everything.
1049
01:11:08,320 --> 01:11:11,160
Do I need this right now to look
even scarier or no?
1050
01:11:11,800 --> 01:11:14,680
I don't know.
Wait for us to know if the guy's
1051
01:11:14,680 --> 01:11:17,720
in there before you go crazy,
'cause if you go crazy, if the
1052
01:11:17,720 --> 01:11:20,280
guy's not in there, you might go
crazy on us.
1053
01:11:21,240 --> 01:11:25,520
Yeah, that's fine.
I I have my hammer and I I tank
1054
01:11:25,520 --> 01:11:29,000
my way in.
All right, everybody else.
1055
01:11:30,600 --> 01:11:34,680
I mean, I'll cover the hall, all
right?
1056
01:11:35,160 --> 01:11:37,160
I'll I'll slip in behind.
As will.
1057
01:11:37,200 --> 01:11:40,480
I so cover me.
OK, Yeah.
1058
01:11:42,360 --> 01:11:46,760
Suppressing fire.
Now I'll let you know that we
1059
01:11:46,760 --> 01:11:49,000
have the babysitter for 20 more
minutes, so this is going to be
1060
01:11:49,000 --> 01:11:50,320
the last bit here.
OK.
1061
01:11:51,920 --> 01:11:54,920
Is the guy in there?
Technically.
1062
01:11:55,440 --> 01:11:58,160
Technically, what the fuck does
that mean?
1063
01:11:58,480 --> 01:12:01,960
He's dead as shit, isn't he?
No, he's not.
1064
01:12:02,360 --> 01:12:08,280
However, the room fills with
something that immobilizes this
1065
01:12:08,280 --> 01:12:11,000
character's name.
This one.
1066
01:12:11,040 --> 01:12:12,760
Thunderclast.
Thunderclast.
1067
01:12:13,240 --> 01:12:15,520
Yeah, Thunderclast is
immediately mobilized.
1068
01:12:15,760 --> 01:12:19,760
Soldiers pop out a who the fuck
knows where and have weapons
1069
01:12:19,760 --> 01:12:23,040
pointed at you.
Immediately a man in the room.
1070
01:12:23,040 --> 01:12:27,120
Oh, I guess I've decided the
Admiral's a man now beckons
1071
01:12:27,120 --> 01:12:31,400
y'all in.
Oh my gosh, these three were
1072
01:12:32,000 --> 01:12:35,480
murderous people.
The whole time I had no idea.
1073
01:12:35,960 --> 01:12:37,840
Hey can I can I still talk or
no?
1074
01:12:38,880 --> 01:12:40,480
Sure.
You're son.
1075
01:12:41,040 --> 01:12:47,200
Of a bitch.
Wink, Do you actually think
1076
01:12:47,200 --> 01:12:51,400
anyone's going to buy that?
No, but I was.
1077
01:12:52,560 --> 01:12:56,760
It's worked before.
How many crews have you
1078
01:12:56,760 --> 01:13:05,040
abandoned with that method You.
Know what?
1079
01:13:05,480 --> 01:13:06,880
Correct.
Let's just keep going.
1080
01:13:06,880 --> 01:13:08,120
Let's keep going.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1081
01:13:08,120 --> 01:13:10,480
No, that's a crazy idea.
Abandoned by.
1082
01:13:10,480 --> 01:13:11,600
I've never abandoned my crew.
I.
1083
01:13:13,080 --> 01:13:16,080
Suppose the rational thing to do
would be to walk up.
1084
01:13:16,640 --> 01:13:18,640
Walk in, hands up for the
moment.
1085
01:13:20,920 --> 01:13:25,120
As the mechanist enters, wards
in the room deactivate their
1086
01:13:25,520 --> 01:13:27,720
fuzzing.
Everybody seems a little
1087
01:13:27,800 --> 01:13:30,680
relieved when that happens.
Yeah, that makes sense.
1088
01:13:31,840 --> 01:13:36,360
Yeah.
Can I resist the immobilizing?
1089
01:13:37,480 --> 01:13:42,160
This is fiction immobilization.
It's required for the story.
1090
01:13:42,400 --> 01:13:44,000
OK.
I see this is plot.
1091
01:13:44,000 --> 01:13:47,440
I figured as much, but.
OK, you can't just phoenix down
1092
01:13:47,440 --> 01:13:49,400
Earth back to life.
Yeah, OK.
1093
01:13:49,920 --> 01:13:51,520
Magical darkness.
Exactly.
1094
01:13:51,520 --> 01:13:56,760
OK, congratulations.
Oh, go ahead.
1095
01:13:57,040 --> 01:14:00,680
I was just going to say, are
there any nice chairs in here?
1096
01:14:01,840 --> 01:14:03,600
There's the one the Admiral's
sitting in.
1097
01:14:03,880 --> 01:14:05,880
No other chairs.
No.
1098
01:14:06,680 --> 01:14:11,240
OK, in that case I lean on my
cave.
1099
01:14:12,680 --> 01:14:15,440
If you guys had rolled a crit in
the gather information, I was
1100
01:14:15,440 --> 01:14:18,200
going to suggest or put in there
that it seemed like you're with
1101
01:14:18,280 --> 01:14:25,280
your spider was setting you up.
OK, Don't worry.
1102
01:14:25,280 --> 01:14:29,480
It's it's fine.
Congratulations.
1103
01:14:30,320 --> 01:14:33,840
What I'm about to tell you is
classified as veiled as none of
1104
01:14:33,840 --> 01:14:35,720
you are cleared to see behind
the veil.
1105
01:14:35,720 --> 01:14:39,800
I must insist on utmost secrecy.
If you cannot promise that here
1106
01:14:39,800 --> 01:14:41,280
and now that our business is
done.
1107
01:14:41,280 --> 01:14:45,080
And I'll bid you all a good day.
Still with me?
1108
01:14:47,160 --> 01:14:52,280
I look around at all the guards.
And I know what bit of good day
1109
01:14:52,280 --> 01:15:01,880
means in this situation, yeah.
You've given us I love an
1110
01:15:01,880 --> 01:15:07,280
illusion of a choice.
I like that end to that line to
1111
01:15:07,280 --> 01:15:10,560
end on actually.
Oh, I love the illusion of a
1112
01:15:10,560 --> 01:15:16,600
choice.
Welcome to Duskwall, the city
1113
01:15:16,600 --> 01:15:18,760
jewel in the ragged crown of the
Imperium.
1114
01:15:21,040 --> 01:15:24,640
It's a clear day, so no clouds
obscure the hateful moon,
1115
01:15:25,040 --> 01:15:29,240
glaring down so close you could
almost touch it, nor be touched
1116
01:15:29,240 --> 01:15:34,040
by it.
Across the sky, remnants of the
1117
01:15:34,040 --> 01:15:38,120
ruined sun flicker infinitely,
illuminating nothing and nobody,
1118
01:15:39,440 --> 01:15:44,640
which works just fine for you.
The things you're about are
1119
01:15:44,640 --> 01:15:48,560
better left unseen, unheard,
unsaid.
1120
01:15:51,000 --> 01:15:54,000
Aside from the hateful moon and
the corpse of the sun, one more
1121
01:15:54,000 --> 01:15:57,600
feature dominates the sky above
the city, and indeed all the
1122
01:15:57,600 --> 01:15:59,720
lands and cities of the undying
Emperor.
1123
01:16:04,720 --> 01:16:08,120
The black and fathomless skies
devoid of stars.
1124
01:16:09,040 --> 01:16:13,360
They're dead and gone.
Their absence is fell, whether
1125
01:16:13,360 --> 01:16:18,240
they know it or not, by every
inhabitant of this doomed world.
00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:06,400
Yay.
Mine might be a a a a split
2
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:09,000
second early, but I think it's
good enough that.
3
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:14,840
Should be OK.
It's easy for me to say I'm not
4
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:18,080
the one, you know, doing this,
so.
5
00:00:19,240 --> 00:00:22,600
Yeah.
It's usually pretty easy, yeah,
6
00:00:23,080 --> 00:00:25,120
other than that one time where
for some reason one of the
7
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:28,640
tracks was going at 90%, so I
had to readjust it over and over
8
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:30,200
again.
Oh my goodness.
9
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:34,320
That sounds.
I ended up just restarting.
10
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:37,360
The whole thing a nightmare,
understandably.
11
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:47,440
Yeah, that's no bueno.
OK, so Blades of the Dark.
12
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:52,480
Blades of the Dark.
Now I'm guessing we have at
13
00:00:52,480 --> 00:00:54,760
least one person who needs to go
through playbook creation.
14
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:57,200
That'd be Renee.
How's yours sitting, Nathan?
15
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:06,240
Basically done.
Yeah, I not a problem.
16
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:10,080
I had to watch a bunch of videos
for training I had to do today.
17
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:13,000
So while I was doing that, I had
time to make my character.
18
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,760
I would normally have to sit
down and make it, but.
19
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,560
That is pretty straightforward.
You get 2 free dots, one dot
20
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,960
from your heritage and one dot
from your background and.
21
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:26,440
That's that.
You get 2 more to spend.
22
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:29,120
Yeah, you get a total of four
dots.
23
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,560
Yeah, you get 2 free dots and
then one from your heritage and
24
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:32,880
one free back from your
background.
25
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,040
OK, that made it sound like OK,
never.
26
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,800
Mind in addition to the three
that's already on my character
27
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:38,920
sheet, right?
Yes, yes.
28
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,600
OK.
Well you said you get 2 free
29
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,600
dots, one from your heritage and
one from your background.
30
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,520
Makes it sound like the two.
Free dots you get are.
31
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,120
From your heritage and your
background, but in.
32
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:51,880
Fact.
You see at this point, yes, OK.
33
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:57,400
OK.
Horizontal tracks are your
34
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:02,200
ratings in a particular action.
Vertically is your ratings in
35
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:07,160
the corresponding category.
Usually used for resistance.
36
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,560
Let's prowl again, Stelsey.
Sneak around.
37
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:17,600
Sneakery.
Yeah, so as a sniper, I'm taking
38
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:21,000
some of that.
And as a reminder, you can have
39
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,120
a maximum of two in any action
rating at playbook creation.
40
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:31,680
Yes.
Oh my God, what are they doing
41
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:35,200
over there?
Just just smacking stuff around.
42
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,840
You also choose a ability from
your playbook.
43
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,520
Don't know which one to pick.
Pick the top one.
44
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,560
Honestly, not bad.
Yeah.
45
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:54,320
That's what I did with my
character.
46
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,320
You have a character.
Well, yes, because of the entire
47
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,800
conceit of this, I need to have
some character in the fiction,
48
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,800
even if I'm not playing them in.
The yeah, but we're you're not
49
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:06,840
doing it right now.
No.
50
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,040
OK.
I have tried DMPC's once or
51
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,600
twice and I found it very
difficult for me.
52
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:16,600
Yeah, they can't stick around
for the whole time.
53
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,000
Usually I kill them off
immediately.
54
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:20,840
Yeah.
Like first room.
55
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:32,120
I mean I have to have sub show
up to give cryptic pieces of
56
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,560
clothes but.
Clothes say.
57
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:38,320
Clothes, yes.
Clothes.
58
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:45,440
I've had a long day.
I found out that a big report
59
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,960
that I have to have ready well,
I thought I had to have ready at
60
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,400
the end of three weeks.
I have to have ready by Thursday
61
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:56,360
so well.
Thursday is a lot closer than
62
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,840
three weeks from now.
Three weeks is Christmas break.
63
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,480
I had to have it done right
before Christmas break, I
64
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,160
thought, but it said I have to
have it done by that.
65
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,240
So I'm putting I put a big sign
on my office door that said
66
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,360
don't ask me for anything, don't
talk to me, I'm working.
67
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,040
Fair enough.
Also worth mentioning that clues
68
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:17,720
are what make up revealing
outfits.
69
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,920
Yes.
What?
70
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:28,960
What do you guys not have?
Like I have one one dot I don't
71
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,080
know where to put because I
think at 2 skirmish and two rack
72
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:37,600
and two command I'm good.
I have two consort 2, sway 2
73
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:41,720
finesse 1 server.
It sounds like you, Renee, will
74
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:45,000
only have one for any of your
resistances, so you might want
75
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,040
to put a dot to just increase
one of those.
76
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,960
OK, I'll do pro.
That's actually one of the
77
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,880
things that kind of colored how
I spent my.
78
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:04,760
Wonderful time for vices.
Everybody got a vice and a
79
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:08,400
purveyor.
Oh yes, that's what I still need
80
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:34,840
to.
I like spicy food and I get them
81
00:05:34,840 --> 00:05:38,640
from a gang called the Weasels.
You know, normally that would be
82
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,760
just sort of a weird thing to
have for a vice, but I imagine
83
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:43,640
that would actually be really
hard to come by and.
84
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:45,760
Exactly.
It's a luxury.
85
00:05:45,840 --> 00:05:48,440
It's a luxury.
I mean, I just want really good
86
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:49,760
food.
But I think in particular the
87
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:53,880
thing that I am totally
searching for is not bland
88
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,120
fungus.
Fair.
89
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,760
Well, you could always go for
seaweed or.
90
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:03,480
E Oh boy, oh boy.
Get your gristmill going.
91
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,040
Got to at least I got some
spiced eels.
92
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,080
You know what?
I think I'm actually going to go
93
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:21,640
rather plain with this one.
Their vice is booze.
94
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:23,640
There you go.
Nothing wrong with that.
95
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,000
If I was still a full time
barkeep I'd be able to help you
96
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:39,320
out with that, but.
So is this in the same reality
97
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:44,840
as the smokers?
No, that world blew up, I
98
00:06:44,840 --> 00:06:48,560
believe.
I mean time is what flexible.
99
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,160
This will be the updated setting
from Deep Cuts.
100
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,040
Duskwell is expanding.
There's some new inventions.
101
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,040
Yeah, it has changed, but
everybody hates that.
102
00:07:02,280 --> 00:07:05,320
I did I I only looked at the
rules that moved on.
103
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,120
I'll have time to read lower
documents right now.
104
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:10,600
Hey, welcome to the subreddit.
Same thing for them.
105
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,000
Yeah, I bet.
Apparently.
106
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:17,560
Yeah, apparently Arubia is a
city, not an entirely separate
107
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:21,680
country.
Or not Arubia.
108
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:25,360
Tiger Rose.
Oh, you know, it's just a city
109
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,240
full of mutants.
Yeah.
110
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:34,560
OK, so the purveyor is a bar
called the Rusty Knob All.
111
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:39,840
Right.
You have to know how that
112
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,960
sounds.
Oh I 100% know how that sounds.
113
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:45,320
OK.
Just making sure.
114
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,480
I mean, I made made myself Blair
Winky, but I'm making sure
115
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,360
people don't call me Winky.
Just call me Wink.
116
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:55,880
Smart.
You know I'm going to call you
117
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,880
Winky.
I mean, yeah, that's obviously
118
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:00,640
that is what I've set this up
for.
119
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:11,360
Renee, you got a vice.
I'm honestly, I honestly just
120
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:15,400
wanna Tyler Durden this a little
bit.
121
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:20,240
And my, my vice is like
violence, I think.
122
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:22,720
Fight clubs?
Hell yeah.
123
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,240
Fight clubs?
Who's the purveyor?
124
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:32,919
Purveyor.
How about Chael, A vicious thug?
125
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:35,799
Is that one of your?
Yeah.
126
00:08:35,799 --> 00:08:36,679
Friends there.
Yeah.
127
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:41,240
All right.
You just don't fight him
128
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:47,480
regularly, don't weigh on each.
Other he runs an illegal Fight
129
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:54,400
Club and one of his champions.
All right, Nathan, what does
130
00:08:54,400 --> 00:09:00,240
your character do to unwind?
I'm waffling between drugs or
131
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,640
women.
Women.
132
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:09,120
He drugs women.
Oh, that's a whole Jesus AC
133
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:12,040
Nathan hates women.
What?
134
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,680
No, no, Dan, no.
OK.
135
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:22,080
All right, I'm, I will say
pleasure.
136
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:29,600
And my character's vice is women
brothels.
137
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,720
I I have to come up with a name
for a brothel now, don't I?
138
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:33,720
Yep.
Yep.
139
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:40,600
Funky Winker beans.
The Cloister.
140
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,320
The warm blanket.
Beautiful I was.
141
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:46,640
Going to say you should do the
Velvet Room.
142
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,440
Well, for legal reasons, we
can't do that.
143
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:54,600
Who am I kidding?
I was on a Kingdom Hearts
144
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:56,760
podcast.
As if legality has ever meant
145
00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:02,800
anything to me.
Yes, I I use that name as a
146
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:06,120
brothel of my old podcast
because it's it's a good name.
147
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,960
For a brothel.
It is a good name for a brothel.
148
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,840
All right, so everybody want to
introduce the character.
149
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,840
Let's start with Daniel because
his name's on the podcast.
150
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:18,920
Yeah, probably we're not going
to use much of that there.
151
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:22,560
But hi, everybody.
My name's Daniel Fernandez.
152
00:10:22,560 --> 00:10:24,920
He him, My name's on the
podcast.
153
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:30,360
I'm going to be playing Mr.
Wink, technically birthday Blair
154
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:37,120
Winky, who is a slide, meaning
they are a a talker.
155
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,400
They're kind of sort of an
average bill, but they're always
156
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:44,440
very well dressed and noticeable
is their big black mustache.
157
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:49,120
They are a former barkeep and
their fam.
158
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:54,480
They come from a family of the
courtiers of the Imperial City.
159
00:10:54,680 --> 00:10:58,600
They were very, very important
at one point and I am not very,
160
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:00,320
very important anymore.
All right.
161
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:01,760
Good stuff.
Yeah, Nathan.
162
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:12,640
Hi, I'm Nathan, regular around
these parts and the character I
163
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:22,320
am playing is Selene Cell Nix.
She prefers Cell because who the
164
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:26,400
fuck wants to be named after the
moon when moon's haunted?
165
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:34,640
Fair enough.
And she is a lean but muscular
166
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:39,080
burdened like, you know,
burdened looking woman and is a
167
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:40,480
hound.
I don't know if I said that
168
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:48,720
already.
Who tracks and hunts and snipes
169
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:52,120
in her case?
All right, I see Renee is still
170
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:56,960
writing, so let's go to Damien.
Oakley Doakley Hi, I'm Damien
171
00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:01,760
eBay.
The character that I will be
172
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:07,560
playing is Severian.
Nope, I'm not going to use that
173
00:12:07,560 --> 00:12:11,120
as an accent.
Severian Von Silkbelt.
174
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:19,080
They are a whisper.
They're also an engineer and
175
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:22,640
they're not from around these
parts.
176
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:28,360
And I've decided that they
haven't let on to the rest of
177
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:30,520
the crew that they are a
stranger by the side.
178
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:39,120
They're an engineer and their
their their goal is they want to
179
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:43,400
to make their own halls.
I think is the best way to put
180
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,640
it within the contacts of Blades
in the Dark.
181
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:53,200
And what is that?
A a hull is essentially A golem
182
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,520
powered by a ghost.
I think is the easiest way to
183
00:12:57,800 --> 00:12:58,840
describe it.
OK.
184
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,480
OK, that sounds about right to
me.
185
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,880
Yeah, right.
Renee, you got your character
186
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,560
finished.
Yeah, hi, I'm Renee Shide
187
00:13:08,560 --> 00:13:11,320
pronouns.
I'm going to be playing Eldeth M
188
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:15,280
Keen.
Her alias is thunderclassed.
189
00:13:15,560 --> 00:13:19,520
Her pronouns are she her I am
Akarosi.
190
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:25,800
So I'm from Daskwall and I'm
basically I'm I've always been a
191
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,200
criminal.
I've always been a a muscle.
192
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:34,760
I'm a mountain of a woman
basically look like Princess
193
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:35,720
Fiona.
Could I say that?
194
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,720
Which one's Princess Fiona?
The Ogre.
195
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,840
The Ogre, Yes, I basically look
like Princess Fiona in ogre
196
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,080
form.
Are you from Shrek?
197
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:52,360
No, I'm I'm very much human.
OK, maybe maybe a bit pasty, but
198
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:57,040
then again, everybody is.
All right, so it's it's not
199
00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:00,720
Princess Fiona in ogre form,
it's Shrek in human form if you
200
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:05,200
were female.
No.
201
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:06,960
No, OK.
No.
202
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,600
I'm still a woman.
I'm just.
203
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,320
No, no, no.
But Shrek in human form is sort
204
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,800
of a big pasty guy.
Can you stop interrupting me,
205
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:21,320
please?
I'm still a woman.
206
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:25,320
I'm just a lot of woman and a
very, very strong woman.
207
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:33,000
All right, and I will be running
the plates in the dark parts of
208
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,520
this I I need a character for
the other parts of it.
209
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:42,000
So I am playing Goth who goes by
gramps the whisper around
210
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:43,160
spider.
Great.
211
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,280
I'm great at this.
Try.
212
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:46,880
Try it again, try it again.
All right.
213
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,920
I'll be playing the spider goth
who goes by Gramps.
214
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:55,120
They use any and all pronouns
because a spider cannot be tied
215
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:58,760
down.
They're from Akaros and they
216
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:02,160
used to work at the Ironworks I
guess looks a little understated
217
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:06,000
and trying too hard to look at.
Might be patchwork clothes, but
218
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:07,640
all the patches are really nice
material.
219
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:15,680
It's the style, yeah.
It's like ripping holes in your
220
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,320
own jeans.
OK, I believe Damien had an
221
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:21,200
invention that I completely
forgot about before we started
222
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:25,680
recording.
That's OK, I wrote down most of
223
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:33,680
the relevant stuff.
So for the what is it and what
224
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:38,280
is it do question that I'm sure
you are preparing to ask.
225
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:45,040
It is a cell phone that
transmits through the ghost.
226
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:49,240
OK.
Or communication device.
227
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:51,080
Cell phone is just the easiest
way to describe it.
228
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:56,960
Pardon me.
And what is the minimum quality?
229
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:04,120
Four that is more advanced than
the current radio equipment that
230
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:10,720
is in rare use.
That is entirely fair, and what
231
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:15,200
makes it rare is, well, three
things.
232
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:18,440
Considering it's higher quality
than the radios currently used,
233
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:25,160
it has an expensive power source
and the connection is made
234
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:31,600
through the user.
So for example if my character
235
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:36,840
was calling Renee's type deal,
the the connection would go
236
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:41,920
through my character, which what
I wrote down for.
237
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:45,680
Mechanically it would require in
a tune roll to be able to use.
238
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:54,200
And that also opens up the door
for you to come up with some
239
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,360
drawbacks.
All right.
240
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:01,560
I would just say we probably
want to like put this at like
241
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:03,000
the end of the episode or
something.
242
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,200
I don't know if this is what we
want to start off our episode
243
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,079
with.
No, that's fair.
244
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:09,200
OK.
I just think we need to
245
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:10,920
establish this because we need
to know how the cell phone
246
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:12,280
works.
But I don't know if this is.
247
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:14,720
Yeah, yeah.
For this to just appear in
248
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,160
episode, it'd be kind of weird.
Yeah, yeah, just to.
249
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:21,880
Yeah.
I think that there can be
250
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:25,119
different drawbacks to that
depending on the situation.
251
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:33,080
Situational drawbacks.
I think it just in general you
252
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:36,480
could damage yourself since
you're attuning with it if
253
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:40,560
you're trying it in an extra
ghosty area, other things.
254
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:48,600
So damage, ghost fuckery.
Yeah, that's about what I was
255
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:50,280
figuring would end up coming
from that.
256
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:52,680
That's one of the reasons why I
added the whole.
257
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,760
You need to attune to it in
order to be able to use it.
258
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:01,840
All right, that works.
And with that, we'll continue
259
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:05,040
on.
Welcome to Duskwall.
260
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:09,080
Duskwall N Hook, the city of
trade, progress, industry, the
261
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:12,560
city of the Imperium.
The days are cool, the forges
262
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:15,640
are hot, and the ghosts are you.
Get used to them.
263
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,440
Another lightless day in a
godspited rock.
264
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:21,520
Everyone's holed up in your base
of operations.
265
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:26,680
Far a far cry from what it once
was, or was rumoured to be, for
266
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,960
fresh faces like you, but still
cozy enough to talk business in.
267
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:36,880
What are you all doing?
What's our crew?
268
00:18:37,120 --> 00:18:40,720
What crew are we in?
We are a crew of Bravos.
269
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,880
OH.
I'm absolutely arm wrestling.
270
00:18:44,120 --> 00:18:46,720
Purveyors of violence.
Yes.
271
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,760
I am arm wrestling whoever will
arm wrestle with me.
272
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:57,200
Important to note in Blades in
the Dark the crew exists beyond
273
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,600
the player characters, so that
doesn't have to be 1 of the
274
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:01,760
people talking.
Yeah, yeah.
275
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:06,280
I I want to participate, but I
don't think my character would
276
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:10,600
be getting into an arm wrestle
or if I would be arm wrestling,
277
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,600
I would be cheating somehow and
I don't think I would do that to
278
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:19,560
you yet.
And I, I, I think you're not
279
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,880
alone because I have a fearsome
aspect.
280
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:25,760
It's my special ability.
When I intimidate threat nor
281
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:27,520
commit violence, I am
terrifying.
282
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:32,600
So yeah, I don't think you'd
you'd be alone.
283
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:34,000
Who chickened out?
Yeah.
284
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:44,120
I think I am waiting for the
next sort of job to come in, as
285
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:47,120
it were.
It's a bit of downtime right now
286
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:50,240
though, not Capital D downtime
where there's specific rules for
287
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:50,760
that.
Yeah.
288
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:54,560
And I'm, I think I'm just mixing
up some drinks.
289
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:57,960
I'm trying to make something
nice with what we have but we
290
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:02,200
don't like have anything.
Roach get yeah.
291
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,680
Toilet wine.
Something like that.
292
00:20:09,120 --> 00:20:13,080
I'm trying to do a I'm trying to
do a Tom Cruise cocktail with
293
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:16,120
like throwing the stuff around,
but all we have is just like the
294
00:20:16,120 --> 00:20:20,360
worst ever booze.
So be being fancy.
295
00:20:20,360 --> 00:20:22,400
It's not creating actually good
drinks.
296
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:25,600
It's only toilet wine if it's
from the toilet region of
297
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:31,240
Aruvia, OH.
My God, yo Winky, give me
298
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:36,120
another pint of that.
Absolutely darling.
299
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:43,240
And I slide it down the bar.
I catch it without raising my
300
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:46,720
like, without looking.
I'm completely focused on
301
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:52,120
breaking this poor fellow's arm.
Would you like to roll something
302
00:20:52,120 --> 00:20:56,920
for that?
Sure, I'm a roll wreck.
303
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:02,440
That makes sense.
What's your rating of that two?
304
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:04,920
OK, you're.
Going to break this person's
305
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:07,640
arm.
I wrote the five all.
306
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:11,640
Right, you thoroughly trounce
this person and their arm.
307
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,280
Victory.
No, wait, that's a Russell
308
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:24,200
thing.
I I just sort of start banging
309
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:28,080
my fist on the on the bar
counter, like encouraging other
310
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:33,680
people to join in having a grand
old time.
311
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,720
Yeah.
And Nathan or Damien, what are
312
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,680
your characters up to?
I do not know your aliases yet
313
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:43,720
because we just started this.
Yeah, I'll go.
314
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:53,040
So Severian is sitting off just
kind of off to the side a little
315
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:59,080
ways, and they're taking
something apart.
316
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:02,840
You're.
Not is there a whisper and an
317
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:04,520
engineer?
Is this a living thing?
318
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:09,800
No, not this time.
OK, not.
319
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:14,640
This time.
You weren't around.
320
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:18,480
For my last member.
Oh God.
321
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:28,320
Anyway, continue.
It's it's something mechanical
322
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:39,000
of some sort there it, it almost
looks like an old, like broken
323
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:43,200
radio and they're just trying to
tinker with it to see if they
324
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:46,280
can get it to work again.
It's not being very successful.
325
00:22:49,120 --> 00:22:51,520
I can roll for it, but I don't
expect.
326
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,080
You can if you'd like.
This is free play.
327
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,560
Dice rolling is more for fun
than anything.
328
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:09,520
OK, so it's you.
Every now and again you hear a
329
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:13,960
little bit of swearing coming
from beneath the mask.
330
00:23:14,120 --> 00:23:20,560
I rolled A3 by the way, and you
can tell from like across the
331
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:27,640
room that it's not going as well
as they would hope.
332
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:35,960
Possibly broken beyond repair.
Well, these things happen, yeah.
333
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:46,760
It is best of all, after all.
All right, one person left.
334
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:52,560
What's she doing, Nathan?
Cell is doing weapon
335
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:56,040
maintenance.
It is an art, right?
336
00:23:56,400 --> 00:24:02,240
You've got to be very careful,
you're trusting this thing with
337
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:06,760
your life, so it's got to be in
constantly the best shape it can
338
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:10,480
be.
So she is currently cleaning and
339
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:15,000
touching up her rifle.
Is she doing this on the bar?
340
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,480
I think it would be funny if if
if she was.
341
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:25,080
You know what she is doing this
on the bar and she was in
342
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:30,240
between Wink and.
Thunderclast.
343
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:34,560
Thunderclast.
And so when the drink was like
344
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:37,480
slid across the bar, she just,
without looking, lifted up her
345
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,600
rifle so it could pass right by
and then went back down to
346
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:44,080
working on it.
We've got this stuff figured
347
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:48,640
out.
Love it.
348
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:51,960
I passed.
I passed the drink back like the
349
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:56,760
empty mug another.
And once again, lift just as it
350
00:24:56,760 --> 00:25:02,600
slides underneath.
I time it so that the new one
351
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:06,920
that's coming towards Thunder is
going under and like passes
352
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:09,080
right at the same time as the
empty 1 is coming back.
353
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:11,160
Beautiful.
Yeah.
354
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,600
All right.
With that, your whisper enters,
355
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,840
boisterous as ever.
The Waterbell and this
356
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:25,000
apparently functioning Tavern
rings.
357
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:30,000
Nathan, you had a question.
You said our our whisper enters.
358
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,960
I thought Damien was.
Fucking saying whisper spider,
359
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:36,520
your spider enters.
Try it again baby, or do it
360
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:37,680
again.
I don't know if we need to do it
361
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:39,960
again or call out the fact that
you got it wrong.
362
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:45,880
That's fine, I can fuck up.
You're allowed.
363
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:48,560
This is a podcast, not a
fucking.
364
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:53,440
I don't know a place where
people can not fuck up.
365
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:55,800
Do you want to take that again
or are we going to leave that?
366
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,120
Welcome to fuck ups fuck up
tales.
367
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:13,800
I've been called worse.
All right, if you want a
368
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,240
paycheck, gather round, I got
something for you.
369
00:26:21,120 --> 00:26:27,160
I Are you coming to the bar for
this or are you or should I
370
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:30,600
abandoned what I'm doing?
I'm coming to the bar, talking
371
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,400
as I go.
It's it's sort of a walking
372
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:35,400
gather round.
Gotcha, gotcha.
373
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:37,080
So you're just walking around
the bar?
374
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:37,840
Yeah.
Yeah.
375
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:40,520
So and.
We and we all follow you.
376
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,240
I I wanna be clear, I wasn't
imagining that this is like a
377
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:47,880
quote UN quote real bar.
This is just like a like, this
378
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,720
isn't a place where people are
coming in to get drinks who
379
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:53,360
aren't part of the crew.
This is just like we have a
380
00:26:53,360 --> 00:26:56,280
little bit of a bar in our in
our hideout.
381
00:26:56,920 --> 00:27:00,160
Absolutely, I'm imagining the
same, but also that you actually
382
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:05,440
have to pay for drinks here.
Oh yeah, that's actually a scam.
383
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:11,560
That I started.
But I'm saying, you know, it's
384
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:13,600
the bosses.
They say I got to do it and I'm
385
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:22,840
just pocketing it anyway.
All right, some big wig with the
386
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:26,400
brasses, not too happy with the
superior and thinks it's time to
387
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:28,120
give the chain of command a
rattling.
388
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:31,560
Might not be the easiest job
around, but the payouts worth
389
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:36,120
the text.
They they they're bad words.
390
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:42,760
Let's leave that one in too.
Maybe might not be the big,
391
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:47,120
might not be the easiest job
around, but the payout is worth
392
00:27:47,120 --> 00:27:49,360
extra trouble in a note.
No bells.
393
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:53,200
Client just wants you to put the
fear of whatever a military man
394
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:55,640
believes in into the subject and
get out.
395
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:57,720
No payday, otherwise non
negotiable.
396
00:27:57,720 --> 00:27:59,840
You all know the sort.
Where they at?
397
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:03,640
Oh, the subject it's.
That might be a bit of a
398
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:09,440
problem, Admiral.
Atop the Covenant up there,
399
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:16,280
Gramps gestures upwards.
The Covenant doesn't airship
400
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:18,280
currently stationed above dusk
well.
401
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:23,400
Ah, huh.
Belonging to who?
402
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:29,960
The Imperial Navy, ah.
Well, last time I checked, goats
403
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:33,960
don't fly.
So unless you're providing any
404
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:37,920
way for us to get up there?
I mean there's there's ways.
405
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,440
Keep going.
Darling, people go in and out of
406
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:44,960
it all the time.
It doesn't just float there with
407
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:49,640
nobody manning it.
We'll just need to all get us in
408
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:54,960
and then you can break the legs
and you could, you know, shoot
409
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:58,320
anybody who gets it our way.
And I'm not quite sure what you
410
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:00,600
do, but with the technology and
stuff, it's, it's lovely.
411
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,200
I'm sure.
I just want to interject here.
412
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:08,000
No bells that that's no deaths.
Keep the shooting to a minimum.
413
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:11,320
Oh no, I don't.
I don't need a gun to do some
414
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:14,200
damage.
OK, well, well, you'll shoot the
415
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:18,880
gun into the air and be like
wooee and scare them off.
416
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:21,600
They don't need to know that
we're not trying to kill anyone.
417
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:27,080
I don't think you know me very
well, do you?
418
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:34,840
I mean, I'm pretty sure any
event, I mean I'm pretty sure
419
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:38,800
you can shoot somebody's kneecap
out and not have to worry about
420
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:39,840
killing them.
Kneecaps.
421
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:43,840
Kneecaps are absolutely as
vulnerable as the rest of the
422
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:48,640
human body.
However, there will be no we, as
423
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:53,400
it were.
Well, if you screw up the
424
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:57,600
payday, I guess you'll have to
find your own, but leave it in
425
00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:01,080
your capable hands.
OK, I just thought maybe we
426
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:03,840
could do something, do the sort
of distraction thing.
427
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:06,680
If you're not, if distraction's
not really your game with the
428
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:09,880
gun, that's fine.
I get my own flair gun, that's
429
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:12,320
fine.
You know me.
430
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:15,280
I'm not.
I'm not a big fan of violence
431
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:18,400
myself.
I'm just more of a man who
432
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:23,120
implements violence.
I I generally prefer to have a
433
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:26,760
simple conversation with 1000
different people and set things
434
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:28,360
up and that's how I solve
problems.
435
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:34,000
Yes, yes, I find things and I
shoot them from very far away.
436
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:38,240
And you're very good at it and
we appreciate it.
437
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:45,200
Now when you say put the fear of
God into this, I guess you
438
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:49,200
didn't say that as it were.
And this is man again.
439
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:52,160
You don't want this one dead
either.
440
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:54,480
Correct.
OK.
441
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:59,880
We're we're not assassins.
Maybe they would like to get
442
00:30:59,880 --> 00:31:03,520
this job, but OK, OK, all right.
This just seems a little bit
443
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:07,840
more fancy than normally what we
do, which is get to the street
444
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:09,200
and beat the shit out of another
gang.
445
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:14,640
Well, if you'd like to drink
something better than Roach gut,
446
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:23,800
maybe we ought to branch out.
I do like a challenge from time
447
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:25,760
to time.
I take a look at the bottle,
448
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:28,680
it's like, makes sense.
It's still crawling.
449
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:33,880
All right.
With that, I think we move in to
450
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:35,840
gather information.
OK.
451
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:40,400
Plays in the Dark is a game of
just get into it, so we don't
452
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:46,640
want to plan out the entire
thing in advance for gather
453
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:50,160
information.
You tell me an action rating you
454
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:53,440
want to roll with, and what sort
of information you're trying to
455
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:56,560
get and how.
I'm sorry, whose phone is
456
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:58,520
pinging?
Mine.
457
00:31:58,680 --> 00:31:59,520
Sorry, not.
Carrying the phone.
458
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:00,720
OK.
Oh.
459
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:03,320
That's sweet.
Mine pigged once but I silenced
460
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:05,760
it.
Now mine is silenced as well.
461
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:13,440
OK, OK, sorry, I wasn't, I
wasn't trying to, you know, stop
462
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:15,040
pinging.
No, it's just.
463
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:24,880
Yeah, I want to use my consort
skill to figure out how can I,
464
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:29,760
how do people get up and down
from this blimp?
465
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:31,760
All right?
Or is it a blimp?
466
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:34,760
Or is it a different sort of
airship like I was imagining?
467
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:38,480
Sort of like a a blimp, But I
suppose it could be like it's
468
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:40,120
fucking a helicarrier.
I don't know.
469
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:44,440
I'm I'm sort of imagining like a
sailing ship but powered by
470
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:47,880
ghosts and electricity.
So spell jammer.
471
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:51,600
Not familiar with it.
How big is it?
472
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:54,360
Big OK.
OK.
473
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:57,840
Like city sized?
No, not that big.
474
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:00,120
Not that big SO.
Like, are we talking like a
475
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:03,480
galleon?
Oh boy, I would have known this
476
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:07,320
at some point.
Big.
477
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:08,720
OK, it's fine.
Big is fine.
478
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:12,160
Enterprise, Oregon Voyager.
Like the the Crew compliment is
479
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:15,680
something that would be revealed
in Gather Information check, so
480
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:16,920
let's get that done.
OK.
481
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:19,600
I rolled a six out of two, so
that's a six, right?
482
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,600
Correct, unless you have 0 dots
in consort.
483
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:24,520
I do not have no.
I have two dots in consort.
484
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:27,880
So, all right, so you, you know,
get.
485
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:30,280
Around how people get up and
down and who goes up and down,
486
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:34,400
Yeah.
Well, as it happens, you share a
487
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:38,160
couple drinks with a couple of
the sailors.
488
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:41,520
Sky sailors.
It's a new technology, the
489
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:42,480
terminology.
Skylers.
490
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:44,520
Like cut out.
Sure.
491
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:47,760
The Skylers bucket Diamond.
Yeah.
492
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:55,040
Every fucking time.
For the most part, up and down
493
00:33:55,040 --> 00:34:01,200
is just other Skylers and that
happens irregularly.
494
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:05,680
Once a week they bring the ship
down for maintenance.
495
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:09,159
There's a bit of a skeleton crew
at the moment though.
496
00:34:09,159 --> 00:34:12,080
It's friendly skies so they
don't need the full complement
497
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:13,280
up there.
It's over 100.
498
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,560
Over 100 when everybody's on it.
But right now it's it's a
499
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:18,880
skeleton crew.
Hang on, did you say it's
500
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:21,960
screwed by skeletons?
No, that's silly.
501
00:34:22,199 --> 00:34:27,199
We're about ghosts here.
This one, I just want to ask, I
502
00:34:27,199 --> 00:34:30,040
know this is to gather
information, how high up is it?
503
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:35,000
Like is it a sort of thing where
like it is about the same height
504
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:39,920
as like a really high like
steeple around here or is it
505
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:42,520
higher than that?
Is it in a stratosphere?
506
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:44,880
Not no.
It's not in the stratosphere.
507
00:34:46,159 --> 00:34:50,040
Yeah, it's it's about this high.
I don't.
508
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:52,480
You can't do that.
Yeah, I know not.
509
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:56,239
Fair.
It's not helpful here.
510
00:34:57,280 --> 00:35:00,400
Well, it needs to be above the
buildings of Dusk Wall.
511
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:05,600
All of them.
But it's not, you know, just a
512
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:09,520
dot up in the sky.
Is dusk fall on a hill at all?
513
00:35:09,720 --> 00:35:12,520
Is there like a higher part of
dusk fall that would maybe
514
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:15,320
overlook this and I could take a
glider down into it?
515
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:18,560
Well, it's on the sea, so I
suppose I could slope towards
516
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:20,760
that.
OK, no, probably not.
517
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:23,120
OK, never mind.
We should gather more
518
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:24,200
information.
Not too much.
519
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:27,080
We should probably just do it.
But I do have AI do have a
520
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:29,600
disguise kit that I could use a
fine disguise kit.
521
00:35:30,240 --> 00:35:37,080
Fantastic, I.
Would like, I don't know how
522
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:42,040
much in how much this is going
to get me, but I would like to
523
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:47,440
study any available knowledge
that I can find on the covenant.
524
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:51,160
Interesting.
Do you have a contact who might
525
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:57,160
be able to help with that?
Does anybody have a contact who
526
00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:01,360
might be able to help?
With that, how much do you think
527
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:07,200
Lord Scurlock would know?
Scurlock's been around, so he's
528
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:12,880
not really about the new stuff.
My friend is Steiner, an
529
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:16,120
assassin.
Would they have anything we
530
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:19,720
could work with?
It seems doubtful.
531
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:23,880
Yeah.
I know an extortionist.
532
00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:28,480
Drug dealers, OK.
I know an extortionist.
533
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:29,760
Punching above our weight class,
huh?
534
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:30,640
Yeah.
Yeah, A.
535
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:32,320
Little bit.
Yeah, it happened.
536
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:37,320
That's OK.
Oh, I'm not saying you can't do
537
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:39,720
it, I'm just saying I could have
given you better information.
538
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:45,960
Oh OK, hey, rolled a pair of
five.
539
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:50,880
All right, cool.
And of course, I closed my
540
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:55,040
notepad with the information on
it.
541
00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:58,280
Your subject, Admiral Bomar, ran
into some sort of trouble in the
542
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:01,400
Death Lands that led to his
current assignment.
543
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:04,240
That's about Oh, you can really
find out.
544
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:07,000
Ran into some trouble in the
death way.
545
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:10,640
Yeah, it's kind of weirdly
difficult to find information on
546
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:12,120
what that trouble was.
Well, why?
547
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:15,640
Don't we ask him?
It's not all that weird.
548
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:18,480
It's been redacted.
That is 1 theory.
549
00:37:19,240 --> 00:37:21,120
We can ask him personally if we
need to.
550
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:26,080
Pimp her them.
I haven't decided yet, OK?
551
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:29,120
No, OK.
OK, Yeah.
552
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:31,400
I will have passed the rest of
the group.
553
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:35,480
OK.
And while you guys are like
554
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:40,240
gathering information, I think
I'm just hitting a punching bag.
555
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:45,040
It's like I can't, I can't
assist in any in any matter.
556
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:47,120
What would you like to roll for
that?
557
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:50,720
I'm a roll skirmish.
OK.
558
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:56,520
I got 2IN skirmish I hold a
four.
559
00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:00,040
When you hit a punching bag, it
makes a funny noise.
560
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:03,960
That is the information you
gather, Nathan.
561
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:07,480
Any ideas?
Sorry, Sell.
562
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:12,040
I'm getting it.
Well, maybe I can't get anything
563
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:18,400
from our about our target, but
if I'm a tracker it'd be good to
564
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:20,240
know about the place we're
going.
565
00:38:20,240 --> 00:38:23,120
So I'm going to try and find out
everything I can about this
566
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:31,880
ship, lay out crew, etcetera.
Patrol route, Yeah.
567
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:34,920
All right.
And what rating are you going to
568
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:37,640
roll with there?
Good question.
569
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:43,320
The most fitting would probably
be survey study would.
570
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:46,440
Be which I do have two dots in,
so yeah, probably that.
571
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:50,640
All right, just I guess Hunt
makes sense too.
572
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:56,040
Which I also didn't so OK a
three into 6.
573
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:01,560
You take the higher number, so
that'd be the six.
574
00:39:02,240 --> 00:39:06,440
Yep, I got a six.
Yes, you did.
575
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:08,920
I wrote down some potential
information.
576
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:10,600
I'm trying to figure out where
the hell I wrote it.
577
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:16,680
OK, the covenant More is for
maintenance once a week.
578
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:21,360
It's might seem like an ideal
time to, you know, hop aboard,
579
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:24,800
but actually bringing it down to
the ground is such an ordeal
580
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:27,640
that this is the most guarded it
ever is.
581
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:32,600
That's.
It not many people getting on or
582
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:34,320
off.
Yeah, it makes sense.
583
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:37,040
I.
Mean we could theoretically
584
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:41,360
during the chaos of that we
could try to sneak on side of
585
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:46,040
it, but if all the but not do
anything until it ascends.
586
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:48,880
But that would require us to
stay hidden for quite a while.
587
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:54,240
All right, everybody.
And then there's the matter of
588
00:39:54,240 --> 00:40:00,880
getting out when we're done.
How do you make a lifeboat for a
589
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:02,880
sky ship?
Yeah.
590
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:05,560
Do they have parachutes or
gliders or any sort of escape
591
00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:07,680
thing?
Roll me a luck check.
592
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:11,280
Just AD 6.
Who's doing it?
593
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:16,200
Whoever you'd like to.
I'll do it a rolled 5.
594
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:21,160
You sure hope so.
Cool.
595
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:22,680
They've definitely been testing
them.
596
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:26,560
How those tests have gone up in
the air so far.
597
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:31,120
So is the thing fully up in the
air?
598
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:34,720
There's no like chain or
anything that's keeping it like
599
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:37,880
anchored as it were.
No, it moves around.
600
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:40,280
That would do a lot of damage to
the city.
601
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:45,240
OK, yeah, OK.
And there's no how do people get
602
00:40:45,240 --> 00:40:47,080
up and down when it's not
landed?
603
00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:52,320
Are there smaller like air
dinghies or like do people only
604
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:55,560
really get up and down when it's
landed?
605
00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:01,880
Mostly when it's landed, there's
no, you know, lifeboats or
606
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:05,640
whatever.
I suppose a spark runner rig
607
00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:10,840
would do some good there, but
then you're at the whims of what
608
00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:12,840
structures actually exist in the
ghost field.
609
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:17,000
You know, climbing gear if you
got real ambitious.
610
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:23,120
Anybody got a balloon?
A climbing gear it could be
611
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:25,520
found if that's the way you want
to do it.
612
00:41:25,720 --> 00:41:30,960
I mean, it would be
unfortunately rather obvious if
613
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:34,200
a balloon just sort of came up.
Yeah, very too.
614
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:38,160
Obvious.
Unless there was a balloon
615
00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:41,360
parade.
Well, the annual balloon parade
616
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:44,120
is coming up.
That's what I thought.
617
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:54,400
They they release a whole bunch
of balloons on Princess's
618
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:57,360
birthday every year.
Princess.
619
00:41:57,360 --> 00:42:00,680
No, the Emperor is sterile.
Extra sterile, in fact, they
620
00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:01,360
call it.
Huh.
621
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:05,640
Extra sterile.
Oh, they just release, they
622
00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:08,600
release a bunch of balloons.
I was thinking like floats like
623
00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:10,760
the Macy's Thanksgiving Day
Parade or something.
624
00:42:12,240 --> 00:42:16,920
Well like we can just steal a
Goku balloon and they use it to
625
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:20,080
sneak on.
If one starts floating away,
626
00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:24,560
somebody's going to notice.
You're right.
627
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:25,640
And what are they going to do
about it?
628
00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:28,080
Yeah.
I mean.
629
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:32,400
It might be a little, it might
be a little much.
630
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:37,840
You are correct.
I mean, I think we just got to
631
00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:40,040
go in when it's being guarded,
right?
632
00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:43,040
I mean that sucks, but that's
just got to be it because it's
633
00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:45,640
on the ground unless any of you
have wings.
634
00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:51,120
Not yet.
So here's what we do.
635
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:54,960
If people are OK with me saying
this, I'm not the Spider.
636
00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:57,720
But the Spider doesn't get to
make the plans right now because
637
00:42:57,720 --> 00:43:01,640
they're they're the GM we.
Spider sets things up.
638
00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:03,160
Spider doesn't go on the
missions.
639
00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:11,120
We go in either in disguise or
just hidden.
640
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:15,720
We lose ourselves.
Perhaps we even find one of the
641
00:43:15,720 --> 00:43:19,160
vendors or something that helps
do the repairs, smuggle
642
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:21,200
ourselves in with some of the
equipment, sneak in.
643
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:25,440
However we managed to sneak in,
we get on board, we don't do
644
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:30,440
any, and we just stay chill on
the ship for a little while
645
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:33,800
until it ascends.
Then we beat the shit out of the
646
00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:41,920
guy and then we get out.
How about we don't wait until it
647
00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:44,440
ascends?
I just worry with all of the
648
00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:45,960
guards that that might be
dangerous.
649
00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:49,680
But you're right, getting out
becomes also extremely
650
00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:52,360
dangerous.
Guards can be dealt with.
651
00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:54,520
I crack my knuckles.
All.
652
00:43:56,680 --> 00:43:57,880
Right.
There are a lot of guards
653
00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:00,200
though.
I have a lot of knuckles.
654
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:06,320
So it sort of sounds like we're
going for a deception engagement
655
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:08,440
here.
Yes, I think, I think it's
656
00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:11,480
deception is deception is our
approach.
657
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:14,600
What happens after that?
Who knows, but our approach is
658
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:16,920
deception.
So the detail we need is the
659
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:23,640
method of deception.
Disguising our skies as workmen.
660
00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:28,440
Yeah, OK.
And I did need to know, you
661
00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:32,880
know, whether you're disguising
as workmen or soldiers because
662
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:35,440
that would probably be two very
different levels of scrutiny.
663
00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:37,960
Yeah.
Indeed.
664
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:43,600
All right, now I need a whole
bunch of D sixes maybe.
665
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:51,960
All right, one die for luck.
Major advantage.
666
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:55,720
It is on the ground, however, it
is the most guarded It it was
667
00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:58,120
going to be during the week, so
no die there.
668
00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:04,440
Another die for unknown factors.
That unknown factor being we
669
00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:07,440
need to get the game going, so
I'm putting a dice there.
670
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:13,400
Yeah, another die for another
unknown factor.
671
00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:17,440
All right, Now, where can I roll
where it's not going to
672
00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:42,120
absolutely destroy my waveform
5 risky.
673
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:46,600
OK, makes sense.
Yeah, Track, Yeah.
674
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:55,720
All right, so let's see.
Actually, quick break.
675
00:45:55,720 --> 00:45:57,800
I'm going to grab some water
while I think about what this
676
00:45:57,800 --> 00:45:59,240
should be.
OK.
677
00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:02,920
Yep.
The door kicking nature of
678
00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:07,040
things means that you're in and
the situation is risky.
679
00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:13,960
OK, so we've already gotten in.
You've gotten past the gates
680
00:46:13,960 --> 00:46:15,560
anyway.
We've gotten past the gates.
681
00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:18,120
All right, let's get on to the
ship.
682
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:20,520
Everyone's back.
Yes.
683
00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:25,400
OK, you arrive on the scene, you
make it through the gates
684
00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:28,280
without too much question.
Everybody's credentials look
685
00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:31,960
more or less how they expect.
The problem is just the sheer
686
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:36,720
number of people around.
It's also exceedingly noisy.
687
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:39,800
OK.
Noisy is good.
688
00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:43,600
It can be.
We have the cover of all this
689
00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:45,000
noise.
Certainly.
690
00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:49,800
I was supposed to use Sway to
convince people that we need to
691
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:55,320
get onto the ship for, you know,
various repairs and whatnot.
692
00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:57,600
Does that seem reasonable for
folks?
693
00:46:58,000 --> 00:46:59,760
Makes sense to me.
Yeah.
694
00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:03,480
OK.
Now, is this the thing where
695
00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:06,320
everybody would need to make
that we think, or do you think I
696
00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:08,880
could just do that?
I think you can do that on your
697
00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:10,360
own.
Do that on my own, OK.
698
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:14,320
I could assist.
You'll you will be sort of
699
00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:18,160
establishing yourself as the
face of this group that you're
700
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:22,240
leading around, yes.
Which I guess that's what slides
701
00:47:22,240 --> 00:47:26,520
are for, yeah.
Yes, but because it will
702
00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:33,480
probably matter at some point.
I am taking load 6 but the extra
703
00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:38,200
load is going to be in a what
looks like a toolbox all.
704
00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:39,360
Right.
Fair enough.
705
00:47:39,560 --> 00:47:44,120
I'm bringing 5 load.
Do you just choose that?
706
00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:47,200
That's my normal.
Normal or heavy?
707
00:47:47,240 --> 00:47:49,480
Yeah, I said 5 but normal I'm
bringing normal mode.
708
00:47:49,720 --> 00:47:50,880
Yeah, OK.
Yeah.
709
00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:55,480
I'm gonna go with heavy my my
heavy weapon, however, is a
710
00:47:55,480 --> 00:47:58,080
sledgehammer.
OK, Andy.
711
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:00,880
What are you about?
You.
712
00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:03,920
Oh God, it wasn't Luna.
Cell.
713
00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:07,040
Name cell.
OK, sorry.
714
00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:08,480
I'm sorry remembering everyone's
names.
715
00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:11,520
Yeah.
I'm going to use, but Oh yeah,
716
00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:12,520
go ahead.
What are you?
717
00:48:12,520 --> 00:48:17,920
Doing I'm going, I think light
for now, OK.
718
00:48:19,920 --> 00:48:23,000
Well, you have to establish what
it is before the thing.
719
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:25,640
Starts because this is
infiltration.
720
00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:31,000
I can't think of a good excuse
to, so I will not be bringing my
721
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:32,880
rifle.
I'll be bringing a pair of
722
00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:35,080
pistols.
OK.
723
00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:37,840
You don't need to establish what
you're carrying.
724
00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:39,880
You just need to establish how
much you're carrying.
725
00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:40,600
Yeah.
Yeah.
726
00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:45,080
I always do.
I do appreciate that also, it's
727
00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:45,840
been a long.
Yeah, it's pretty.
728
00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:47,800
Neat.
It's been a long fucking time
729
00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:49,760
since I've played Blades.
I've done it before.
730
00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:52,440
It's been a while.
My confidence earlier was not
731
00:48:52,440 --> 00:48:59,800
earned all right.
So I am just going to I'm going
732
00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:03,520
to walk with a purpose leading
us all just like onto the ship
733
00:49:03,520 --> 00:49:06,480
itself.
I assume I will be stopped at
734
00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:11,400
some point and I will lose.
I will use my sway of just like
735
00:49:11,400 --> 00:49:16,040
body language and also my fine
disguise kit and documents both
736
00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:19,200
equipment that I'm bringing that
should increase the effect of
737
00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:20,880
what I am doing.
Certainly.
738
00:49:21,320 --> 00:49:24,120
You're actually stopped pretty
briefly into the gate, so you
739
00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:26,240
don't make it quick to the ship.
I'm going to call this a three
740
00:49:26,240 --> 00:49:28,720
tick clock to get it on.
This makes sense.
741
00:49:28,720 --> 00:49:34,320
This makes sense.
I'm going to do my sway.
742
00:49:34,640 --> 00:49:38,400
What's the risk here?
What's our What are we feeling?
743
00:49:39,240 --> 00:49:42,840
Position will be risky effect.
Sounds like it'll be great
744
00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:45,440
effect given all the equipment
and specialty you have.
745
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:47,600
You know what?
I'm going to push myself.
746
00:49:48,520 --> 00:49:55,840
OK for position.
Effect effect.
747
00:49:56,040 --> 00:49:58,000
I want to just get on
immediately.
748
00:49:58,120 --> 00:50:01,520
Extreme effect, OK.
Yes, I do.
749
00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:04,880
You know who I am sort of shit.
Absolutely.
750
00:50:07,560 --> 00:50:11,800
The most renowned repairman.
Yes, this ship's going to
751
00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:14,760
collapse if you don't have me on
it right here.
752
00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:18,280
I mean, it's not me necessarily,
but my team is the best.
753
00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:24,240
I got a 5.
All right, it's going to be two
754
00:50:24,240 --> 00:50:29,360
ticks on the clock, but your
blather has convinced people
755
00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:32,760
that what you're going to be
doing is an absolute spectacle
756
00:50:32,760 --> 00:50:36,240
that they'll want to behold.
Oh shit, God damn it.
757
00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:43,560
You know, because God forbid
anything goes smoothly 100%.
758
00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:47,280
I mean, I got 5, it's fine.
Of course you can't resist the
759
00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:51,080
consequences, but that just
seems like it fits really well.
760
00:50:51,680 --> 00:50:53,440
No, I'm fine with this.
I'm fine with this.
761
00:50:54,240 --> 00:50:55,680
I already used some stress
already.
762
00:50:55,680 --> 00:50:57,000
I don't want to.
I don't want to resist.
763
00:50:57,000 --> 00:50:58,640
I can't.
I can't have all the stress in
764
00:50:58,640 --> 00:51:00,640
the world.
There's only so much good spicy
765
00:51:00,640 --> 00:51:05,480
food out there.
Yeah, somebody else roll.
766
00:51:06,920 --> 00:51:08,760
Somebody.
Else can I resist?
767
00:51:11,360 --> 00:51:16,680
In what way?
Can I just stand there and look
768
00:51:16,680 --> 00:51:21,960
super intimidating?
So people cower and decide that
769
00:51:23,240 --> 00:51:24,720
they're going to mind their own
business.
770
00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:27,440
I don't know that that's
necessarily resistance.
771
00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:30,760
It could be its own role.
OK, fearsome aspect.
772
00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:34,480
And that does what exactly?
When you intimidate, threaten,
773
00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:36,080
or commit violence, you're
terrifying.
774
00:51:36,080 --> 00:51:38,680
Ask the GM who flees or
surrenders, who backs off
775
00:51:38,680 --> 00:51:42,440
slowly, and who hesitates.
Well, this would definitely be
776
00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:43,960
intimidation.
What are you rolling?
777
00:51:48,160 --> 00:51:49,760
Command.
Probably command.
778
00:51:50,040 --> 00:51:51,280
Yeah, I have two in.
Command.
779
00:51:52,760 --> 00:51:54,000
All right, I have two in
command.
780
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:56,880
I'm going to push myself.
For position or effect.
781
00:51:57,720 --> 00:52:00,000
What's the position like
Position.
782
00:52:02,040 --> 00:52:05,920
Let's, let's, I'm not going to
say it's desperate, although
783
00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:10,600
there are a lot of eyes on you.
I'll call it risky standard
784
00:52:10,600 --> 00:52:15,640
effect.
Effect.
785
00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:25,200
OK, great effect.
I got 2 fours and A1.
786
00:52:26,360 --> 00:52:31,120
Success with complications, you
are on the ship, somebody flees
787
00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:33,160
Absolutely, because you used
fearsome aspect.
788
00:52:33,160 --> 00:52:36,840
It has to happen.
I think other workers flee.
789
00:52:36,840 --> 00:52:39,480
The military men are made of
sterner stuff.
790
00:52:39,960 --> 00:52:42,640
OK.
Well, we can work with this.
791
00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:46,480
Yep.
So you're on the ship.
792
00:52:46,840 --> 00:52:49,360
The problem is people are
watching you on the ship.
793
00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:51,000
Yeah.
You have.
794
00:52:51,400 --> 00:52:56,320
You have guaranteed it was so.
We're on the ship, guys.
795
00:52:56,840 --> 00:52:58,440
This is great.
OK, I thought.
796
00:52:58,440 --> 00:53:01,480
I thought I just rolled to have
people not watch us.
797
00:53:03,160 --> 00:53:05,800
They didn't stop you was the
outcome.
798
00:53:05,960 --> 00:53:08,840
Oh, OK.
And that's how you made it on
799
00:53:08,840 --> 00:53:13,080
the ship.
There are less people watching
800
00:53:13,080 --> 00:53:15,680
us than before you did that.
However, there are still people
801
00:53:15,680 --> 00:53:18,560
watching us.
Yes, I think if I'm
802
00:53:18,560 --> 00:53:20,440
understanding correctly.
They're not watching
803
00:53:20,440 --> 00:53:23,320
aggressively, they're watching
with much interest.
804
00:53:23,720 --> 00:53:29,600
So that's going for you.
So I guess you guys better fix
805
00:53:29,600 --> 00:53:35,080
some stuff.
I'm.
806
00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:44,800
I wonder if I could use this
chance to break away 'cause I
807
00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:47,840
can.
I've got good Prowl and I've got
808
00:53:47,840 --> 00:53:51,760
good Hunt, so if I can break
away from prying eyes I could
809
00:53:51,760 --> 00:53:55,400
probably find our our guy all
right.
810
00:53:56,040 --> 00:53:58,000
So be more fitting for breaking
away.
811
00:53:58,040 --> 00:53:59,560
Hunt would be for chasing
someone.
812
00:54:01,280 --> 00:54:02,640
Nathan.
Dammit.
813
00:54:02,920 --> 00:54:03,880
Yeah, that's me.
Do you?
814
00:54:04,320 --> 00:54:06,200
Do you mind if I do something
first?
815
00:54:06,280 --> 00:54:11,360
Because what I had in mind that
I was gonna do if it works would
816
00:54:11,360 --> 00:54:12,640
probably help you out.
But.
817
00:54:13,040 --> 00:54:15,280
Go ahead then, yeah.
So.
818
00:54:16,160 --> 00:54:20,600
I'm gonna.
My character is going to
819
00:54:20,600 --> 00:54:25,720
concentrate for a couple of
moments as we're kinda walking
820
00:54:25,720 --> 00:54:33,720
onto the ship.
Now, as I mentioned earlier,
821
00:54:34,760 --> 00:54:42,760
basically Severian here pretty
much always wears their spirit
822
00:54:42,760 --> 00:54:46,760
mask.
Does it seem like there is
823
00:54:46,760 --> 00:54:54,080
anybody who is like strong
spiritually, like who has a
824
00:54:54,080 --> 00:54:57,920
strong spiritual presence on the
ship after we get on the ship?
825
00:54:59,080 --> 00:55:01,280
Roll me a luck rock.
Luck roll.
826
00:55:05,840 --> 00:55:08,800
That's a four.
All right, there's, you know,
827
00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:13,800
some people who are a little
more inclined towards the ghost
828
00:55:13,800 --> 00:55:15,640
field.
Nothing as special.
829
00:55:16,120 --> 00:55:19,760
OK, yeah, that was more
information gathering than
830
00:55:19,760 --> 00:55:23,640
anything else.
So now to the thing that I
831
00:55:23,640 --> 00:55:30,000
wanted to do, I would like to
attune to the ghost feel and
832
00:55:32,120 --> 00:55:38,200
essentially make, even if it
doesn't actually make it darker,
833
00:55:38,240 --> 00:55:45,920
make it seem like to everybody
in like the vicinity that it is
834
00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:53,640
darker in this area.
OK, this is going to be
835
00:55:53,880 --> 00:55:58,240
desperate reduced effect because
there is already so little
836
00:55:58,240 --> 00:56:07,280
light.
I mean I would think there would
837
00:56:07,280 --> 00:56:12,640
be more light inside of a ship
but.
838
00:56:16,200 --> 00:56:20,280
Oh, I'm imagining you're on the
deck at the moment.
839
00:56:20,280 --> 00:56:21,120
Oh.
OK, see.
840
00:56:21,120 --> 00:56:24,200
Yeah, that.
Just setting foot on the ship.
841
00:56:26,280 --> 00:56:30,080
OK, so change that just a little
bit.
842
00:56:33,840 --> 00:56:37,400
I would like to make us less
noticeable now.
843
00:56:37,400 --> 00:56:38,920
Fuzzing.
Yeah.
844
00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:46,760
All right, still desperate
because there's people staring
845
00:56:46,760 --> 00:56:48,120
directly at you as you're doing
this.
846
00:56:48,320 --> 00:56:53,880
Yeah, that track normal effect
OK or standard I believe is the
847
00:56:53,880 --> 00:56:54,840
phrasing.
You know what?
848
00:56:55,640 --> 00:57:01,720
I'm gonna push myself for a
fact, and I still get the dice
849
00:57:01,720 --> 00:57:04,840
for that, right?
Yes.
850
00:57:05,400 --> 00:57:08,000
You get too stressed and you get
too stressed.
851
00:57:08,600 --> 00:57:13,440
Everybody gets too stressed.
I forget, take the dice.
852
00:57:18,960 --> 00:57:23,680
That is A5 all right.
So it's not so much that you
853
00:57:23,680 --> 00:57:30,160
become harder to notice.
You, for some unpalpable reason,
854
00:57:30,520 --> 00:57:35,120
become less pleasant to look at.
Nobody sort of turns away
855
00:57:35,760 --> 00:57:37,840
uncomfortably.
Nice the.
856
00:57:39,160 --> 00:57:41,640
Desired effect.
Go hide.
857
00:57:43,040 --> 00:57:47,080
Yeah.
Wait, sis, go hide.
858
00:57:47,080 --> 00:57:50,960
Everybody scrambles.
I'll fix it.
859
00:57:54,320 --> 00:57:59,480
I've got some prowl I can hide.
I've got like a monkey wrench
860
00:57:59,520 --> 00:58:02,920
and a screwdriver and I'm just
looking at them just.
861
00:58:08,600 --> 00:58:10,760
Shall I?
Shall I bonk some stuff with my
862
00:58:10,760 --> 00:58:14,680
sledgehammer?
To weapon I don't.
863
00:58:15,400 --> 00:58:18,320
Know fix quote, UN quote, fix
something.
864
00:58:18,800 --> 00:58:22,160
Eyes are off of you.
Save the Save the sledgehammer
865
00:58:22,160 --> 00:58:26,440
for the Yeah.
So now we can we can do real
866
00:58:26,440 --> 00:58:29,640
work.
OK, you know it's good work.
867
00:58:29,800 --> 00:58:35,680
That's fine then, motherfucker.
Yeah, I have good hunt.
868
00:58:36,600 --> 00:58:41,800
So I would like to I would like
to try and track this guy down.
869
00:58:43,320 --> 00:58:45,600
OK.
And did anybody have a military
870
00:58:45,600 --> 00:58:47,200
background, by the way?
I do.
871
00:58:48,840 --> 00:58:53,720
Oh, all right.
So I think that'll probably help
872
00:58:53,720 --> 00:58:56,600
with your role for figuring out
where an Admiral would be.
873
00:58:57,040 --> 00:59:01,920
Yes, probably.
Now I don't really like to get
874
00:59:01,920 --> 00:59:05,320
my hands dirty.
Imagine that I have just like
875
00:59:05,320 --> 00:59:07,200
looking at my nails as I'm
saying this.
876
00:59:08,160 --> 00:59:14,960
Should I stay here and like look
like I'm fixing stuff or should
877
00:59:14,960 --> 00:59:18,640
I come with you guys?
Is it, would it be useful for me
878
00:59:18,800 --> 00:59:23,720
to be out here diversionally or
should I just come with you
879
00:59:23,720 --> 00:59:24,600
guys?
What do we think?
880
00:59:28,560 --> 00:59:31,440
What do you guys think?
OK, OK, you got this.
881
00:59:31,640 --> 00:59:32,960
I'll, I'll stay out here and fix
it.
882
00:59:33,560 --> 00:59:34,680
Oh, I think we should go with
them.
883
00:59:35,120 --> 00:59:36,720
Oh, I'll go with them.
OK, I'll go with them.
884
00:59:36,920 --> 00:59:38,280
That's fine.
Might as well.
885
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:42,000
Says this the spider from the
middle distance.
886
00:59:43,840 --> 00:59:45,200
No, no, that wasn't my character
voice.
887
00:59:46,120 --> 00:59:48,040
You should go with it.
Pardon.
888
00:59:51,080 --> 00:59:55,400
All right, well, we better go
fix that stuff over there.
889
00:59:57,600 --> 01:00:01,240
Fix, fix, fix.
Fix Nathan, you were going to
890
01:00:01,240 --> 01:00:04,400
roll Hunt.
I will give that a position of
891
01:00:05,480 --> 01:00:08,000
controlled effect.
Great because you have a
892
01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:09,800
military background.
All right.
893
01:00:10,800 --> 01:00:13,000
You can probably find some
captain's quarters.
894
01:00:13,360 --> 01:00:16,040
So I just rolled 2 twos.
Jesus.
895
01:00:16,320 --> 01:00:19,080
All right, you cannot find some
captain's quarters.
896
01:00:21,440 --> 01:00:26,280
You do find, however.
A big fat load of nothing.
897
01:00:26,400 --> 01:00:32,840
Yeah, yeah.
About that much I will say, You
898
01:00:32,840 --> 01:00:35,000
know, you've been on ships
before.
899
01:00:35,600 --> 01:00:40,440
Not Sky ships, obviously, but
this one seems a lot quieter
900
01:00:40,440 --> 01:00:42,800
than you'd expect.
That's people wise.
901
01:00:42,800 --> 01:00:44,840
It's actually cacophonously
loud, yeah.
902
01:00:45,400 --> 01:00:51,320
That makes sense.
I guess all the they said there
903
01:00:51,320 --> 01:00:55,320
was a skeleton crew and I guess
that makes a sort of sense.
904
01:00:58,000 --> 01:00:59,760
No one's come to bother us yet,
have they?
905
01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:02,120
If not, I will just continue to
follow along.
906
01:01:02,360 --> 01:01:04,600
I'm in charge of handling things
if people bother us.
907
01:01:04,840 --> 01:01:07,440
You are unpleasant to look at at
the moment, right?
908
01:01:07,440 --> 01:01:11,840
Of course this is.
Truly my worst nightmare.
909
01:01:14,120 --> 01:01:18,400
You are able to roll with the
same action rating if you'd like
910
01:01:18,640 --> 01:01:24,680
with a reduced effect or
position, or you can just try
911
01:01:24,680 --> 01:01:30,320
something else.
OK, so my idea, the only way I
912
01:01:30,320 --> 01:01:33,040
can help is grab somebody and
command them to tell us where
913
01:01:33,040 --> 01:01:36,680
the captain's quarters is.
Severian, do you have anything?
914
01:01:38,880 --> 01:01:43,640
Well, I would like to try and
magic my way out of this, even
915
01:01:43,640 --> 01:01:47,160
though magic of course doesn't
work in blades.
916
01:01:47,160 --> 01:01:48,880
But that's neither here nor
there.
917
01:01:52,080 --> 01:01:57,760
I would like to, since, you
know, the ship is at least
918
01:01:57,760 --> 01:02:00,760
partially run by ghosts.
Or powered by ghosts, I should
919
01:02:00,760 --> 01:02:03,480
say.
Yeah, run by ghosts would be
920
01:02:03,480 --> 01:02:06,360
scary.
We just make batteries out of.
921
01:02:09,520 --> 01:02:12,920
Jesus, that's so much worse.
I so much worse.
922
01:02:13,000 --> 01:02:16,320
It's.
Kind of like horse glue.
923
01:02:16,880 --> 01:02:19,400
So yeah, I have two options.
I'm going to go with the
924
01:02:19,400 --> 01:02:24,280
potentially less dangerous
option and I would like to
925
01:02:24,280 --> 01:02:29,840
attune to the ghost feel to see
if that could give me slightly
926
01:02:29,840 --> 01:02:34,800
better bearings on where the
captain's quarters may be.
927
01:02:37,400 --> 01:02:45,080
Maybe ask a, you know, a goat.
Huh.
928
01:02:45,080 --> 01:02:50,320
All right, Risky standard.
OK.
929
01:02:52,920 --> 01:02:55,240
I don't.
Know actually you know what
930
01:02:57,320 --> 01:02:58,640
let's.
Make it more dangerous.
931
01:02:58,800 --> 01:03:05,360
Can I trade position for a fact?
Christ desperate.
932
01:03:05,960 --> 01:03:11,400
Great.
Or I could just like, or I could
933
01:03:11,400 --> 01:03:18,360
just throw 2 hunt again and you
know, for for at a less safe
934
01:03:18,360 --> 01:03:20,720
position.
That was what?
935
01:03:20,720 --> 01:03:22,960
Man, I don't know my way around
this ship.
936
01:03:23,080 --> 01:03:31,000
I guess I'll summon a ghost.
Up to you guys.
937
01:03:31,760 --> 01:03:36,840
I I'm down to do the roll.
Of course you are.
938
01:03:38,080 --> 01:03:42,120
I mean, do it.
I I think it is a bad idea, go
939
01:03:42,120 --> 01:03:45,840
ahead and do it.
Sell too busy trying to find the
940
01:03:45,840 --> 01:03:49,960
Admirals, Gavin.
Everybody else lost on their own
941
01:03:49,960 --> 01:03:52,040
world.
Well, I rolled A4.
942
01:03:52,520 --> 01:03:55,840
All right, so success with
complication, yes, you have
943
01:03:55,840 --> 01:03:59,520
someone to ghost.
The complication being you have
944
01:03:59,520 --> 01:04:03,160
someone to ghost.
When this happens, everybody
945
01:04:03,160 --> 01:04:07,720
needs to freeze or needs to roll
a resistance to resist freezing
946
01:04:07,720 --> 01:04:12,640
or fleeing.
Yeah, I can do that resolve.
947
01:04:12,840 --> 01:04:14,080
I might resist.
Yeah.
948
01:04:14,240 --> 01:04:16,440
Prowess.
All right.
949
01:04:16,760 --> 01:04:20,880
How are you resisting?
What is your resolve or prowess
950
01:04:20,880 --> 01:04:22,680
resistance look like in this
situation?
951
01:04:23,120 --> 01:04:30,280
I summoned the damn ghost like
hey motherfucker, tell me where
952
01:04:30,280 --> 01:04:35,560
I will, you know, I want to go,
and then you can go back to
953
01:04:35,560 --> 01:04:37,560
doing your own ghost thing.
Come on now.
954
01:04:37,800 --> 01:04:42,400
Well, messing around with the
undead is very clearly dead.
955
01:04:42,400 --> 01:04:46,280
In this case, I suppose is
somewhat of a traumatic
956
01:04:46,280 --> 01:04:48,520
experience, and even experienced
mysteries have.
957
01:04:48,520 --> 01:04:53,560
Trouble Oh yeah, but I mean,
that's basically how how my
958
01:04:53,560 --> 01:04:58,080
character is justifying.
It's like look just and also
959
01:04:59,080 --> 01:05:03,560
characters not 100% from this
world so they'll have some other
960
01:05:03,560 --> 01:05:08,120
hangout, you know, hang ups from
their previous existence.
961
01:05:09,400 --> 01:05:13,200
I will say I will use resolve to
not be afraid because I think
962
01:05:13,200 --> 01:05:15,000
that lines up.
That's what resolve is.
963
01:05:17,040 --> 01:05:19,880
That makes sense.
And I rolled up five for my
964
01:05:19,880 --> 01:05:23,760
resistance, by the way.
So one stress.
965
01:05:25,320 --> 01:05:27,360
I actually rolled A6 for my
resistance.
966
01:05:27,800 --> 01:05:30,640
Zero stress.
You ain't afraid of this ghost.
967
01:05:30,920 --> 01:05:33,240
I ain't afraid of this ghost.
Remind me how?
968
01:05:33,240 --> 01:05:36,680
Say about other ones.
Resistance stats work please.
969
01:05:37,760 --> 01:05:43,240
You have 3 overarching
categories and the vertical
970
01:05:43,320 --> 01:05:46,120
before the line there is the
number of dots you have to roll
971
01:05:46,120 --> 01:05:50,080
for your resistance.
So kind of how many skills you
972
01:05:50,080 --> 01:05:54,800
have total in that category?
Is your resistance for resolve
973
01:05:54,840 --> 01:05:55,720
prowess or?
Yeah.
974
01:05:56,240 --> 01:05:58,320
And.
So for example, I have three
975
01:05:58,320 --> 01:06:00,640
skills in prowess.
I have prowess, Skirmish, and
976
01:06:00,640 --> 01:06:02,480
Rex.
So I'm going to roll 3 dice and
977
01:06:02,480 --> 01:06:07,160
resist with prowess.
I will resist with insight then
978
01:06:08,760 --> 01:06:13,720
'cause I have 3 in that.
All right, So what sort of thing
979
01:06:13,720 --> 01:06:15,960
do you know about?
Yeah, yeah.
980
01:06:16,600 --> 01:06:22,080
It's, it's logic, right?
I know it's a ghost, but it was
981
01:06:22,080 --> 01:06:27,360
summoned by an ally.
It is going to be objectively
982
01:06:27,360 --> 01:06:31,960
helpful.
I can like I can reason my way
983
01:06:31,960 --> 01:06:34,640
through this.
I I know that it is just brain
984
01:06:34,640 --> 01:06:39,080
chemicals.
More people are killed by Blue
985
01:06:39,080 --> 01:06:41,200
Coats every year than ghosts.
It's a nihil, Rita.
986
01:06:41,200 --> 01:06:43,640
There you go.
Yeah, pretty much.
987
01:06:44,000 --> 01:06:46,400
So I rolled one of those is a
six.
988
01:06:46,400 --> 01:06:49,240
So that's pretty great.
Zero stress.
989
01:06:51,040 --> 01:06:56,200
Oh me, now I punch myself in the
face and that snaps me out of
990
01:06:56,200 --> 01:06:59,240
being scared.
OK.
991
01:07:00,240 --> 01:07:06,080
Hey, whatever works.
Shit, highest roll is 4.
992
01:07:07,080 --> 01:07:08,800
That's still only two stress.
OK.
993
01:07:09,800 --> 01:07:11,400
Punching yourself in the.
Face.
994
01:07:13,000 --> 01:07:17,800
Yeah, apparently.
All right, the machinist, right?
995
01:07:17,920 --> 01:07:19,840
Or was it the mechanic?
The mechanic.
996
01:07:21,320 --> 01:07:25,520
All right, the mechanic as the
ghost fills you with images of
997
01:07:25,520 --> 01:07:28,360
its final moments.
It also points towards the
998
01:07:28,360 --> 01:07:30,840
Admiral's camp at Admiral's
cabin.
999
01:07:30,840 --> 01:07:33,920
So that'd be the success part of
the success with complications,
1000
01:07:33,920 --> 01:07:35,960
Yeah.
Thank you.
1001
01:07:37,000 --> 01:07:40,440
It's pretty obvious and it's
kind of a fluke that Cell didn't
1002
01:07:40,440 --> 01:07:45,200
know where it was.
Yeah, this is this is a great
1003
01:07:45,200 --> 01:07:52,960
start for great.
I I smack who I think of as the
1004
01:07:53,000 --> 01:07:57,160
new kid, 'cause you've recently
arrived at the back of head.
1005
01:07:58,000 --> 01:07:59,920
Did you need to summon a ghost
for that?
1006
01:08:01,600 --> 01:08:04,480
Hey, bud, you, you don't want to
be hitting me like that.
1007
01:08:05,080 --> 01:08:07,320
But it got us what we needed,
didn't it?
1008
01:08:07,680 --> 01:08:12,680
Do not summon ghosts is
extremely dangerous to summit
1009
01:08:12,680 --> 01:08:19,000
ghosts, especially when you have
eyes and I just give it like an
1010
01:08:19,080 --> 01:08:25,439
irritated scoff and sulk towards
the the Admiral's chambers.
1011
01:08:25,960 --> 01:08:27,680
Bold of you to assume they have
eyes.
1012
01:08:28,720 --> 01:08:32,880
Yeah, as you're, as you're
saying that, I turn to you and
1013
01:08:32,880 --> 01:08:39,040
you just see like a white
featureless mask as they still
1014
01:08:39,040 --> 01:08:43,279
have their spirit mask on like
no eyes, no nothing.
1015
01:08:45,920 --> 01:08:48,359
I wasn't afraid of the ghost.
I'm not afraid of you, darling.
1016
01:08:50,000 --> 01:08:54,240
I start lumbering towards
Admiral's quarters and as I as I
1017
01:08:54,240 --> 01:08:58,399
go, I sort of give a friendly
noogie to sell.
1018
01:08:58,960 --> 01:09:01,439
And it happens.
Happens to the best of us.
1019
01:09:01,960 --> 01:09:07,479
OK, this is itself very clearly
did not enjoy that, but is going
1020
01:09:07,479 --> 01:09:12,160
to remain professional.
All right.
1021
01:09:13,439 --> 01:09:14,040
We find this.
Out.
1022
01:09:14,720 --> 01:09:19,680
Yeah, Whose knees am I breaking?
Well, you found the quarters,
1023
01:09:19,720 --> 01:09:22,479
the doors locked.
I grabbed my hammer.
1024
01:09:22,479 --> 01:09:26,240
Yeah.
I was going to ask if anybody
1025
01:09:26,240 --> 01:09:31,120
has any tinker still if not.
I mean I can try.
1026
01:09:33,040 --> 01:09:36,800
Yeah, but the hammer would
probably be faster but louder.
1027
01:09:37,200 --> 01:09:40,359
It is noisy on the ship, but
yeah, I'm gonna, I'm gonna.
1028
01:09:40,920 --> 01:09:43,279
Yeah, You go ahead, Siberian.
Extremely noisy on the.
1029
01:09:43,520 --> 01:09:46,319
Ship, Yeah.
Go ahead Siberian if you wanna
1030
01:09:46,319 --> 01:09:47,800
if you wanna try and lock pick
this.
1031
01:09:49,319 --> 01:09:52,720
Yeah, so I'm gonna try and open
the lock.
1032
01:09:53,080 --> 01:10:00,360
Quiet like using my tinkering.
Sure, there's some.
1033
01:10:00,560 --> 01:10:04,720
I'm going to use my spider
ability Foresight, because twice
1034
01:10:04,720 --> 01:10:09,880
per score I can describe how my
careful preparations add +1 T to
1035
01:10:09,880 --> 01:10:15,400
a teammate's role.
My lock picks are better than
1036
01:10:15,400 --> 01:10:17,520
yours, give them a shot.
That works.
1037
01:10:24,120 --> 01:10:25,480
That's a 5.
Nice.
1038
01:10:27,360 --> 01:10:30,200
All right.
With every sound and click the
1039
01:10:30,200 --> 01:10:32,000
lock opens.
And.
1040
01:10:32,520 --> 01:10:33,240
OK.
Yeah, well.
1041
01:10:33,240 --> 01:10:35,080
The lock might open, but you
gotta open the door.
1042
01:10:37,200 --> 01:10:39,920
Yeah, yeah.
So I kinda just back away from
1043
01:10:39,920 --> 01:10:41,760
the door.
My job done.
1044
01:10:42,640 --> 01:10:44,280
You're up.
No, it's Dusk Wall.
1045
01:10:45,360 --> 01:10:47,160
Oh boy, says.
Fuck off.
1046
01:10:52,080 --> 01:10:59,120
After I.
OK question Hello I have a rage
1047
01:10:59,120 --> 01:11:03,480
essence what does it do?
Makes you angry.
1048
01:11:04,800 --> 01:11:08,320
At everything.
At everything.
1049
01:11:08,320 --> 01:11:11,160
Do I need this right now to look
even scarier or no?
1050
01:11:11,800 --> 01:11:14,680
I don't know.
Wait for us to know if the guy's
1051
01:11:14,680 --> 01:11:17,720
in there before you go crazy,
'cause if you go crazy, if the
1052
01:11:17,720 --> 01:11:20,280
guy's not in there, you might go
crazy on us.
1053
01:11:21,240 --> 01:11:25,520
Yeah, that's fine.
I I have my hammer and I I tank
1054
01:11:25,520 --> 01:11:29,000
my way in.
All right, everybody else.
1055
01:11:30,600 --> 01:11:34,680
I mean, I'll cover the hall, all
right?
1056
01:11:35,160 --> 01:11:37,160
I'll I'll slip in behind.
As will.
1057
01:11:37,200 --> 01:11:40,480
I so cover me.
OK, Yeah.
1058
01:11:42,360 --> 01:11:46,760
Suppressing fire.
Now I'll let you know that we
1059
01:11:46,760 --> 01:11:49,000
have the babysitter for 20 more
minutes, so this is going to be
1060
01:11:49,000 --> 01:11:50,320
the last bit here.
OK.
1061
01:11:51,920 --> 01:11:54,920
Is the guy in there?
Technically.
1062
01:11:55,440 --> 01:11:58,160
Technically, what the fuck does
that mean?
1063
01:11:58,480 --> 01:12:01,960
He's dead as shit, isn't he?
No, he's not.
1064
01:12:02,360 --> 01:12:08,280
However, the room fills with
something that immobilizes this
1065
01:12:08,280 --> 01:12:11,000
character's name.
This one.
1066
01:12:11,040 --> 01:12:12,760
Thunderclast.
Thunderclast.
1067
01:12:13,240 --> 01:12:15,520
Yeah, Thunderclast is
immediately mobilized.
1068
01:12:15,760 --> 01:12:19,760
Soldiers pop out a who the fuck
knows where and have weapons
1069
01:12:19,760 --> 01:12:23,040
pointed at you.
Immediately a man in the room.
1070
01:12:23,040 --> 01:12:27,120
Oh, I guess I've decided the
Admiral's a man now beckons
1071
01:12:27,120 --> 01:12:31,400
y'all in.
Oh my gosh, these three were
1072
01:12:32,000 --> 01:12:35,480
murderous people.
The whole time I had no idea.
1073
01:12:35,960 --> 01:12:37,840
Hey can I can I still talk or
no?
1074
01:12:38,880 --> 01:12:40,480
Sure.
You're son.
1075
01:12:41,040 --> 01:12:47,200
Of a bitch.
Wink, Do you actually think
1076
01:12:47,200 --> 01:12:51,400
anyone's going to buy that?
No, but I was.
1077
01:12:52,560 --> 01:12:56,760
It's worked before.
How many crews have you
1078
01:12:56,760 --> 01:13:05,040
abandoned with that method You.
Know what?
1079
01:13:05,480 --> 01:13:06,880
Correct.
Let's just keep going.
1080
01:13:06,880 --> 01:13:08,120
Let's keep going.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1081
01:13:08,120 --> 01:13:10,480
No, that's a crazy idea.
Abandoned by.
1082
01:13:10,480 --> 01:13:11,600
I've never abandoned my crew.
I.
1083
01:13:13,080 --> 01:13:16,080
Suppose the rational thing to do
would be to walk up.
1084
01:13:16,640 --> 01:13:18,640
Walk in, hands up for the
moment.
1085
01:13:20,920 --> 01:13:25,120
As the mechanist enters, wards
in the room deactivate their
1086
01:13:25,520 --> 01:13:27,720
fuzzing.
Everybody seems a little
1087
01:13:27,800 --> 01:13:30,680
relieved when that happens.
Yeah, that makes sense.
1088
01:13:31,840 --> 01:13:36,360
Yeah.
Can I resist the immobilizing?
1089
01:13:37,480 --> 01:13:42,160
This is fiction immobilization.
It's required for the story.
1090
01:13:42,400 --> 01:13:44,000
OK.
I see this is plot.
1091
01:13:44,000 --> 01:13:47,440
I figured as much, but.
OK, you can't just phoenix down
1092
01:13:47,440 --> 01:13:49,400
Earth back to life.
Yeah, OK.
1093
01:13:49,920 --> 01:13:51,520
Magical darkness.
Exactly.
1094
01:13:51,520 --> 01:13:56,760
OK, congratulations.
Oh, go ahead.
1095
01:13:57,040 --> 01:14:00,680
I was just going to say, are
there any nice chairs in here?
1096
01:14:01,840 --> 01:14:03,600
There's the one the Admiral's
sitting in.
1097
01:14:03,880 --> 01:14:05,880
No other chairs.
No.
1098
01:14:06,680 --> 01:14:11,240
OK, in that case I lean on my
cave.
1099
01:14:12,680 --> 01:14:15,440
If you guys had rolled a crit in
the gather information, I was
1100
01:14:15,440 --> 01:14:18,200
going to suggest or put in there
that it seemed like you're with
1101
01:14:18,280 --> 01:14:25,280
your spider was setting you up.
OK, Don't worry.
1102
01:14:25,280 --> 01:14:29,480
It's it's fine.
Congratulations.
1103
01:14:30,320 --> 01:14:33,840
What I'm about to tell you is
classified as veiled as none of
1104
01:14:33,840 --> 01:14:35,720
you are cleared to see behind
the veil.
1105
01:14:35,720 --> 01:14:39,800
I must insist on utmost secrecy.
If you cannot promise that here
1106
01:14:39,800 --> 01:14:41,280
and now that our business is
done.
1107
01:14:41,280 --> 01:14:45,080
And I'll bid you all a good day.
Still with me?
1108
01:14:47,160 --> 01:14:52,280
I look around at all the guards.
And I know what bit of good day
1109
01:14:52,280 --> 01:15:01,880
means in this situation, yeah.
You've given us I love an
1110
01:15:01,880 --> 01:15:07,280
illusion of a choice.
I like that end to that line to
1111
01:15:07,280 --> 01:15:10,560
end on actually.
Oh, I love the illusion of a
1112
01:15:10,560 --> 01:15:16,600
choice.
Welcome to Duskwall, the city
1113
01:15:16,600 --> 01:15:18,760
jewel in the ragged crown of the
Imperium.
1114
01:15:21,040 --> 01:15:24,640
It's a clear day, so no clouds
obscure the hateful moon,
1115
01:15:25,040 --> 01:15:29,240
glaring down so close you could
almost touch it, nor be touched
1116
01:15:29,240 --> 01:15:34,040
by it.
Across the sky, remnants of the
1117
01:15:34,040 --> 01:15:38,120
ruined sun flicker infinitely,
illuminating nothing and nobody,
1118
01:15:39,440 --> 01:15:44,640
which works just fine for you.
The things you're about are
1119
01:15:44,640 --> 01:15:48,560
better left unseen, unheard,
unsaid.
1120
01:15:51,000 --> 01:15:54,000
Aside from the hateful moon and
the corpse of the sun, one more
1121
01:15:54,000 --> 01:15:57,600
feature dominates the sky above
the city, and indeed all the
1122
01:15:57,600 --> 01:15:59,720
lands and cities of the undying
Emperor.
1123
01:16:04,720 --> 01:16:08,120
The black and fathomless skies
devoid of stars.
1124
01:16:09,040 --> 01:16:13,360
They're dead and gone.
Their absence is fell, whether
1125
01:16:13,360 --> 01:16:18,240
they know it or not, by every
inhabitant of this doomed world.
