(00:00):
Oh, hey everybody! What's going on? It's your boys! We're here on the Grouch Couch, dude!
(00:07):
I am your game master, also your band manager here on the couch. I am Turrk.
Thank you so much for joining us, Camera Angle. Thank you.
Yes, thank you, thank you, thank you for being here.
Tonight we're doing some more Shadowrun Anarchy with our lovely band.
Of course we're doing a metal band campaign. It's all about saving the world!
(00:29):
Guys, please say hello, band!
Hello, band.
Hello.
Oh no, what's wrong with my chin?
I know, right, let me...
It's all pink and fleshy!
Your chin's got one over here.
Yeah.
This is a lot better.
Just poppin' in. Hi, Scott! Hello, band!
(00:51):
I'm really good at this.
First of all, Anonka being played by Children of Proteus. Hello, Proteus! How are you?
Hello! I'm good. I'm good.
That's good news. Also, Roger being played by Connor, Captain Stash, Psycho Stash. How you doin'?
I'm okay. I guess I'm doing good. You know, the other guy trapped in here, he's fine.
(01:18):
Good, good.
Yeah.
And, Emmy's not with us tonight, but that's okay. She will be back with us next week. Have no fear.
There's no trauma. We promise. We love Emmy. All is well!
Also, if you want to see a bunch of art that you've never seen before, it is now officially up on the Patreon,
(01:40):
along with a bunch of our practice sections from our new game ImprovQuest.
So, go support us on Patreon and get to check out all the stuff that doesn't ever make it to the light.
Hell yeah, dude.
Daym Steve underscore forge of lore just cheered 50 bits.
Cheer 50 F. A-M-I-L-Y. What's that spell? T-T-K.
(02:06):
That's right. It could be.
Mirra, it's unfortunate ImprovQuest is on my cable. Hey, if it ever isn't, you always feel free to come and join in.
Look, here's the deal, Mirra. It's going to be episodic, alright? Consistent characters on an episodic show.
It's going to be a lot of fun, alright? So you could always pop in. You could always pop in.
That's the fun thing about it.
And hey, maybe we can get you on as a guest star. You know what I mean?
(02:29):
That goes for everybody as well. That goes for everybody.
Sounds like fun. Yeah!
So, boys and girls, check out the Patreon. Check us out next week.
All is well, but for tonight, we're going to have a little bit of fun.
We're going to do some things. Did I miss anything? Before we run the musical intro, hmm?
Don't forget to give us a rating on Spotify or a like and a comment on YouTube if that's where you're watching us later on.
(02:55):
It really helps the algorithms and makes people know that you like the things that we do so we can keep doing the things that you like that we do.
You know, leave a comment. Leave a suggestion. Say, your toes smell like cheese, Proteus. What the fuck? Why can I smell it through the screen?
Put that in the comments, I dare you.
Or like Puberty did today, left a comment that I think just said, Roger is bae. One of our videos. Thank you, Puberty. Appreciate that.
(03:20):
We're well on our way to 1,200 subscribers, which is beautiful.
If you're watching in the future, probably more than that. But hey, it's free and helps so much. Yeah, dude!
Support your friends and support your friends' friends, right? That's right.
Your toes smell like Fritos. Fritos, Cheetos, and Alibitos. That's right.
Okay, it's musical intro time, everybody. Fucking cheers. Thank you so much for joining us. We have one episode left.
(03:43):
But it's time for some story, a story that's never yet to have been storied. Let's do it.
Cheers, y'all.
(04:19):
Oh, welcome back. Good to have you here. I still love that song. And by the way, you can check out the full album on Spotify. That's right.
And a YouTube video that we made on YouTube. It's very good. Very good stuff. It's very cool. And this whole campaign. It's very cool.
Alright. Boys and girls, it's time for story.
A little bit of a recap, I guess, is in order. Last week, the band managed to secure the fifth and final page to the song, Metal Omnicon.
(04:53):
The song that they have learned that will be able to put the beast that the Supreme Ten is trying to summon back in its slumber.
Over the course of time, their band manager or agent, Mr. Johnson, has guided them and helped them throughout all of this, trying to help get them to this point where they can save the world because he got the hint of the Supreme Ten and he hates them just as much as the band does.
(05:18):
We got pages from all over the place and we finally have all five.
Of course, we've recruited some friends along the way, like Crux the Viking, very cool guy, and our hellhound, Lucien Lucifer, who was the leader of the rebellion before they got struck by magic and turned into a hellhound.
(05:41):
Yes. So our story is going to return in a fun little place.
You guys just finished a show, all right, you just played some music for a bunch of your fans.
One last time to get out there and play some music and the show went well.
A lot of people showed up, a lot of people were talking about this revolution that you guys did, charging into a skyscraper with all of your fans and just blowing up the whole place.
(06:10):
They were excited and they were there full force to support you.
Of course, many died that day and you did or went out for them.
But now that the show has ended, Mr. Johnson has sent Eon off on our own little special mission and is now with you guys talking about where to go next.
(06:33):
Now, as you guys are walking back to your bus, how about this? We'll roleplay this a little bit.
We'll get into roleplay. Mr. Johnson is there.
And of course, Mr. Johnson used to be a complete suit.
But at this point, he's got corpse makeup on that isn't very good.
He's wearing a choker. He's got his earrings in. His sleeves are ripped off.
You guys influenced him a lot over the course of this time.
(06:56):
And he's even added some combat boots to his repertoire.
And he's walking with you, too.
And as you guys are walking, he's like.
So, and Anonka Roger, how are we feeling about all this supreme 10 business?
(07:19):
Those are the guys we're trying to kill, right?
I feel like we could be killing them more than we currently are right now.
I mean, I feel a little lost in the weeds about where they're supposed to be trying to summon whatever we're trying to not have summoned.
(07:43):
Right. This is a very good question. And I have been doing some research.
I've got some guys on the inside, including Rogers old friend Pickles.
And we believe Pickles has a lead on where they're going to be doing this summoning.
(08:08):
Well, spill it. Don't don't keep us waiting.
Spell it. All right, Ben. Well, we do believe that there is a base here, a supreme 10 base.
It used to be an Air Force base that they have turned into their own little supreme 10 kind of research facility full of scientists, equipment, you know, whatever other bullshit these assholes want to use.
(08:40):
But they've turned it into a base.
And from what Pickles has informed me with is that under this base, they have some kind of circle of magic, lava, I don't know, something crazy like that.
And they plan to summon this beast from there.
(09:09):
Oh, good.
We have a beast. Oh, yeah.
Oh, good. Love a beast.
It's a good beast to have, you know.
Anyways, Roger, you ready to kill some shit?
Yeah, just point me in the direction.
You know, hopefully that direction has a large amount of health care attached to it because it's going to need it.
(09:39):
Well, that's good.
Anonka, I also see you have new eyes now. Is that new?
It is, yeah.
One of the failures that we took down at the place where you were captured had eyes that my God bestowed upon me. So here we are with fresh new eyeballs.
I swear being able to say this much.
(10:03):
I imagine a whole new world for you, huh?
Yeah, just about, yeah.
All right, so as you guys are walking, you can see up ahead at the very end of this large parking lot because you guys have been talking for a little while.
Your van bus is parked there and you can see through the windows, it looks like crux and, you know, Bob the zombie.
(10:27):
They're having some fun, you know, dancing around. It's a good old day for them.
Lucy's even in there, you know, she's barking away. You can hear her. It's like the sun is shining on them and everything is just beautiful.
It's a great day. Your bus is in supreme condition. You guys have the pages. You have everything you've ever wanted.
But as you're walking towards the bus, this is when things start to get a little fucked.
(10:55):
You hear screams coming from up the street.
When you look up this darkened cyber sci-fi road, there are floating cars that start skidding out of place and smashing into walls.
People just screaming.
(11:17):
And you guys are looking and I want to make the first roll of the night to see how much of a jump you can get on this.
We're going to do a perception check for you guys.
Mm hmm. Scott left. Gotta get ready for sleep. Well, thanks for coming in. Codefinance has been on loop endlessly.
Also, Terk. Hell yeah, dude. I love Codefinance. Yeah, you got to beat a two.
(11:41):
Anaka got a one and Roger got a four. Copy that.
Are you still blind? I can't remember. No, I'm not blind anymore. You'd think I'd roll higher. Oh, yeah.
You should get plus two eyeballs to your role.
(12:02):
True. She's just standing in front of a staff sergeant like I don't see anything.
What's going on?
I'm overwhelmed by reality. I'm not used to having this much sensory at once.
Noticing things going on all over the place. I don't know where to focus. No shit.
(12:25):
Tyler is like, oh my God, I'm blind again. I'm blind. Your eyes are closed.
I am Steve underscore forge of low used reroll. Tyler.
Tyler reroll. I do want to say, Tyler, if you're ever interested, you know, we're kicking back up.
We're not OK soon. And, you know, I'd love to get you on as a guest star if you're interested. Let me know.
(12:50):
But back to our story here. Roger, you can see looking up the street, these cars are skating out of place.
There's like explosions. And then as your eyes come into focus, you see coming out of a sewer grate,
a huge tentacle that has grabbed a person and is now swinging the person around in the air out of the sewer grate.
(13:16):
You look below the ground at your feet and you can see another sewer grate starting to bubble with this black,
viscous nastiness that's just bubbling out of the sewer grates.
And Johnson goes, oh, no, oh, no, it has begun. We must go band to the van.
(13:39):
And to the man, as you look up to the van, you can see tentacles coming out from sewer grates and grabbing all these cars.
And tentacles are starting to come up around the van.
And I need is one of you, whatever you're going to do to figure it out. And we'll make checks.
(14:00):
Well, I'm just going to scream to Ananka, I've seen a pentide to know where this is going.
And I sprint towards the van and dive through one of the windows, breaking it.
OK, I thought he was going to drop trial.
You're going to need to make an athletics check to get to the van.
Ananka, what are you doing?
(14:23):
Oh, I'm going to sprout wings. I'm going to go into like my harpy form.
It essentially pick up Johnson with my big claw bird feet and head towards the van to try and get in.
Five.
OK, then I'm also going to need you to make me an athletics check as well, Ananka.
(14:47):
With your wings, I'll give you a plus two D6.
Oh, how lovely. Oh, hell yeah.
Oh, I could have used parkour for that.
One of my specialized skills.
Yeah, that's very true, actually. Yeah.
He could do two things. Yes. Ooh, tentacles, slappy balls, tentacles.
(15:12):
By the way, I loved your art on Instagram today.
Gangers, very good job. Shout out to Gangers.
Really? What the fuck is happening?
You got a one.
And that was with the two extra.
Guys, get your fan art pens ready. Get your fan art pens ready.
Because tentacles are abound, everyone.
Gangers used reroll, Kate.
(15:34):
No.
Oh.
I was about to be the star of my own hentai. Dreams come true.
Four. Still didn't beat the five. You still have a chance.
I'll give you better because you did better.
So as you guys are running across this parking lot,
(15:56):
your feet are like slipping and sticking to all this nasty shit
that's coming out of all of these sewer grates.
And you take off up into the air, grab Johnson.
You get away from the nasty sticky shit.
And you take off and you jump.
You're like flipping Roger doing cartwheels.
It's like super excessive. You don't need to do all this shit.
But you're like jumping through this like sticky shit.
(16:18):
Tentacles coming out. You're dodging through them.
And you make it just in time as the tentacles lift the bus off of the ground.
And the tentacles begin grabbing it and carrying it down the street.
And you get your hands right on the bumper as it's carrying it down the street.
(16:39):
And on the inside, Lucien's just going crazy, barking, freaking out.
And Crux has his axe and he's like whipped it out.
He's like trying to get these tentacles.
But they're all through all the windows of the bus, just like...
And you're flying in the air behind it, Kate, with Johnson.
Johnson's like, where are we going? What is happening?
(17:05):
You tell me, buddy, but we're going to follow this bus.
Now that you have eyes, you're going to look down to the road.
You're looking at the bus. I just want to see something real quick.
Will you make me an investigation check?
We can call this wisdom...
So logic?
Wisdom logic, yeah. Let's do that.
(17:27):
Uh-oh.
That's a two.
Two.
Fuck. That was an easy check, dude.
Somehow I got three successes on 46.
Connor, I'm not Roger.
I can't magically make numbers that are higher than physically possible happen.
(17:49):
It's just not in my way. It's the only way.
So as you're looking down, all these other cars are just being crushed.
But the bus is just moving up the street.
And you move about a block as you're hanging onto it.
And more tentacles.
(18:11):
Like, yeah.
Hit it.
Hitting it.
Four!
Four! Finally, Arnie!
As an insight, you can see that the tentacles are coming up and like,
for a second it looks like they're inspecting the cars and then smashing them.
(18:32):
And then the tentacles that are wrapping around the bus,
instead of smashing it, it's being carried forward.
What's forward?
Can I see where it's...
Is there a general thing in that general direction?
Like, what's forward?
Yeah, so like there's this super long road.
(18:53):
Like this is like...
The show you were playing was a pretty big show.
It was right off the highway.
So there's this super long road.
And at the very end of it, it looks like it goes all the way up to the coast.
Oh!
Tentacle bussy in the ocean.
Alright.
(19:14):
Good.
Okay, back to Roger.
Roger, what do?
Can I open the emergency exit on the back of the bus and get on?
I want you to make me a strength check.
There's tentacles holding it down.
You're going to try to move the tentacles out of the way and rip it open.
Strength, strength.
(19:35):
Yeah, beat it fucking zero.
Jesus.
Okay.
That's a two.
Alright, you rip it open.
And the tentacles...
God!
You jump in?
Yeah, I jump in and I run to the front of the bus and I rip Bob out of the driver's seat and say,
Let me drive!
(19:58):
You grab the wheel.
You guys are floating as these tentacles are just carrying you.
And you get behind the wheel.
You start it and the wheels are just spinning.
But I...
See, look how well I can stay in the lines, Bob.
He's like, Roger, man, man, look, like a tentacle comes in the window and he like smacks it away.
(20:23):
He's like, man, we're being attacked right now, man.
What are you doing?
Oh, you know, just driving the bus like a cool guy.
Oh, okay.
And he's going to pull out his shotgun and he shoots one of the tentacles.
(20:45):
Back to Anonka.
What do?
Yeah, I got my feet up on the dash.
Are we going are we going past my church?
Uh, roll me a D100.
We'll make a luck check and call it Heisenloh's.
Yeah.
Eyes.
(21:07):
That's a 49.
No, you're not.
Oh, god.
Get so close.
Two below what would have been high.
Yeah, that's fucked.
I don't have any luck with rules.
It's my new single for my solo album.
Good God.
(21:28):
All right.
All right.
So I guess I continue following the bus like we're not going to land on it, but we're going to continue to follow over.
All right, that's fair.
Now, a tentacle comes through the window, Roger, and it tries to grab you.
I need you to make me a defense check.
(21:54):
Oh, can you see I'm driving here?
I'm trying to drive.
That's a one.
Fuck.
The tentacle comes in, grapples around your neck.
Your hands are on the steering wheel and you're like, what?
Pulls you out the window.
And now you're in the air.
(22:17):
Crooks is on the bus.
Can Crooks come out and try to hit it with an axe before he gets pulled out?
Do you want to command him?
He might hear you in the chaos, but I need you to make me a charisma charisma check.
Well, I wouldn't be able to see it.
I would just assume he's seeing the shit happen on the bus.
(22:38):
Because he's on the bus.
Right.
And he respects me.
The thought process is that he follows your orders, so he doesn't know what to do.
And he's just like, oh, oh, oh.
So I need to see if he can hear you like, attack, Crooks.
So make me a charisma charisma.
Fucking use that.
All right, that's fine.
Yeah.
(23:00):
Got that pure raised.
You only got to be a one.
All right.
Only got to be a one.
Let's see.
I want more than a one on rolling 14 days.
Well, see a six.
Yeah, he hears you.
Oh, oh, oh.
He looks out the window.
It's all broken and shit.
(23:21):
He ducks his head down.
You can see him.
He goes, oh, hey, no, no.
You're fat folk.
What?
Defend the bus, you fat folk.
Well, I mean, I do say so myself.
I bought you that lightsaber X for a reason.
Now use it.
(23:42):
Oh, attack.
He just starts chopping tentacles in the bus.
I'm actually going to make a check for him.
He has to be a seven.
He's got a four.
So he's fucking them up.
(24:03):
But it's not enough.
He doesn't get to the Roger one.
Yeah, he doesn't get to the Roger one.
Yeah.
Yeah.
All right.
OK.
In that case, since I just I just talked, right?
OK.
Still my turn though.
Yeah.
OK.
That was kind of like an NPC turn.
Technically.
(24:24):
OK.
Another tentacle is going to try to grab you from out of the air.
Anonka.
So I need you to make it a tentacle.
They are everywhere.
They're coming out of the building.
How big?
They're coming.
Oh, a couple of arms.
There's like a couple arms together.
How do you?
(24:48):
Yeah, it's choking Roger out.
Yeah.
I got a two.
You got a two.
I got a two.
Do you want to spend your couch coin to make this attack not successful?
Sure.
Yeah.
All right.
You spend your one and only couch coin.
The tentacle comes out of a building.
It's got like an office guy who's got like this beard.
(25:12):
He's like really long gray beard.
And he's like, I told you I'm not giving you five bucks.
And then it drops him down into the mush and it tries to grab you instead.
It like sees you through its tentacle.
Mine is like.
And it misses.
And you.
Johnson, I'm going to have to land you on the bus.
(25:34):
You're going to have to go through the skylight on the bus.
I can't carry you and and dodge at the same time.
True.
But turn order.
The bus now moves forward.
Roger is out of the bus and it's about 20 feet in front of you guys.
And all of the muck below you is getting thicker.
It's a couple feet deep.
(25:55):
You can see the wizard guy that just got dropped into the muck is now like stuck like above ankle deep.
And the bus is about 20 feet ahead.
And it's Roger's turn.
Uh.
Yeah.
Uh.
(26:16):
I'm just going to.
You know what?
The tentacle is going to try to choke me.
I'm going to try to choke the tentacle and I'm going to put it in a headlock and squeeze.
You like it.
I'm getting choked at the same time.
So Roger, I'll give you a couch coin for that.
That's funny.
That's funny though.
(26:38):
OK.
Defense check from the tentacle is a two.
I'm just going to go ahead and do a strength strike.
No.
You squeeze the fuck out of the tentacle.
And I picture like you squeeze it so hard that it like pops in the bottom thick part falls off and starts flailing.
(27:00):
And you still have this like unconscious like not moving bit around your neck like a scarf like it loosens, but it's still there.
And then you drop down to the ground and you land ankle deep in this muck.
Oh, shit.
How long is the one on my neck?
(27:22):
Three feet.
Oh, well, the bus is definitely three feet away.
Twenty feet.
Yeah.
Can I can I try to like get unstuck from the muck by climbing on the tentacles?
(27:43):
I would say it's difficult terrain.
If this was D&D 5e, I would have your movement, but it's not.
So as it stands right now, you could move as normal, but just picture your feet being covered in black nastiness.
Is there a tentacle stock near me that I could hop on?
Sure.
Yeah, for sure. But I'll need to check.
(28:06):
Agility.
Parkour even.
Yes.
Beat of three.
Alright.
Four.
Alright.
Explain what you do.
Well, I want to hop out of my shoes.
They stay in the cut in the muck.
(28:28):
And I start using my three feet of tentacle as like a climbing rope that I wrap around the tentacle.
And I'm like shimming up the tentacle of my bare feet.
So I'm like digging into the tentacle with my long gross toenails.
I'm climbing up this thing like a fucking palm tree.
(28:49):
OK.
I don't know what your goal was here, but I love it.
I'm trying to get back on the bus.
OK, cool.
Here's the do.
I love it.
OK, you climb up this tentacle and it's pretty close to this bus.
Cougars layer ready to stay, buddy.
(29:10):
Cheers, man.
That's clear.
Hey, Cougar.
How's it going?
Hey, Zergo.
What do you do?
Oh, for fuck's sake, I have no idea.
I'm at a loss here.
All right.
Well, first off, we're going to try to dive forward and dump Johnson on the top of the bus.
That's that's number one.
Cool.
Cool.
So movements pretty much free in this system.
(29:31):
So you can absolutely dump him at the top.
No check needed.
All right. Cool.
Because yeah, I'm going to.
But then on the attacking tentacles of what's surrounded, I want to essentially I want to use my elemental attack, which summons vast amounts of electricity.
I imagine they're pretty goopy, so they would they would conduct electricity really well.
(29:56):
Hell, yeah.
I think that's cool.
That's very cool.
All right.
We're going to make a check then.
Yeah.
Am I going to make a defense check, you think?
Well, it does.
So I don't understand that.
So it's one of my shadow arms.
So I don't have to roll for it.
OK.
Well, you I don't know how that works.
(30:18):
Yeah.
So this is elemental attack electricity level three combat damage is six PAA defenses S plus W.
OK.
So I don't know how to roll for it or how that works since it's strength willpower.
Yeah.
Can you click it?
(30:40):
No.
Oh, I want to open it.
I want to look at it.
Yeah, that's fine.
Oh, so it's just one of these.
I think it's like you combine it with combat damage of six physical.
Nice.
Well, we can say I want you to describe how this electricity, how you use it.
(31:07):
All right.
And we'll make the attacks.
You're still going to do an attack.
I think I think in that case, we're going to do I'm going to use my conjuring for it.
Conjure up like I'm going to find the air in the like I'm going to through my wings tips.
I'm going to feel the air and pull in negative and positive from each side of me and combine them together
(31:30):
and press it outward towards all of the surrounding tentacles that are holding the bus.
Hmm.
That's cool.
OK.
Four.
Four.
Let's see here.
Four, which means you succeed.
So from your wings, the tips of your Raven wings, electricity just emerges.
(31:58):
And I picture it goes through all this muck like it goes up through the tentacles.
And that even shocks Roger a little bit.
That's not too much to hurt him.
But you feel it, Roger.
You're like, you know, holding onto a tentacle.
And you can see all of them kind of pull back a little bit around the bus and even some release.
And it looks like there's only three large tentacles left pushing the bus forward.
(32:27):
Am I on one of those three large ones?
I don't think so.
But why don't you make me a luck check?
Roll a D100.
Call it high or low.
Oh.
We'll do.
We always do high.
We always do high.
58.
Yes.
(32:48):
Yeah.
You are on one of those tentacles.
But one of the tentacles from the muck comes up out of the ground as the muck continues to get thicker on this road.
It's up probably about three feet now.
It comes up and it's going to try to grab you, Ananka, out of the sky as you're flying.
And I need you to make me a defense check.
(33:13):
I got a six.
You got a zero.
Damn.
It wraps around your legs and pulls you down out of the sky.
And you're down in the muck.
Meaty.
Meaty.
The other tentacle that you're riding, Roger, is going to whip around like crazy to try to get you off of it.
(33:38):
And I just want you to make me a strength strength check.
Ben uses his three roll, Ananka.
Oh, Ben uses.
Look, you're on it today, friend.
Thank you for joining us.
Hit it, Ananka.
I'm not going to hit it.
I'm hitting it.
Oh, that's a two.
It's close.
There was almost no way I was going to get it.
There's no way.
I just like strength.
(34:01):
You got a couple.
So you got a nine.
So you hold on tight to that tentacles.
It's whipping around like crazy.
Mr. Johnson pulls out the gun that Roger gave him.
And he goes to the front of the bus and just starts firing at the tentacle that's at the front of the bus.
And he's like, it's pee pee time.
(34:25):
And he starts shooting it like crazy.
Johnson got a four.
The tentacle moving around got a six.
A bunch of bullets miss.
Dang, Johnson.
Dang.
Tentacles like bending out of the way.
In the bus.
Crucks is attacking one of the tentacles that's left.
(34:48):
Crucks got a one.
Tentacles got a five.
He does no damage to it.
Aeon's going to be the only character left by the end of this episode.
No.
The bus moves forward.
Aeon's going to be doing the final episode by herself.
Another 40 feet fast as it rolls over these tentacles.
And you could hear the suction cups just like.
(35:10):
As it rolls over tentacles onto more tentacles as it moves towards the coast.
And as you guys have gotten further you can see this skylight.
There's like a base there.
And in the sky above the skylight there's just tentacles coming out of the coast out of the water.
As the water is slowly turning black.
(35:32):
And you hear Johnson and he's like, that's it.
The base.
That's it.
As he's riding on top of this thing.
Now before I end my game master turn.
Anonka.
Yay.
You're stuck.
Your wings are in muck.
(35:55):
You feel defeated.
You feel like all these godly powers.
And your friends are still being taken away.
For some unforesaken reason.
You feel defeated.
And in this moment I want to see if you can call out to your.
(36:16):
Gift a potion.
Miramorgus just redeemed custom potion.
A potion for Anonka that allows for freedom of movement for five rounds and she cannot be grabbed or held in place in that time.
I love that.
I do.
And you can use that.
But first.
I want you to see.
But first.
Call out to your god.
For me please.
Just make me a spiritual check as you usually make here.
(36:43):
And you've got to beat a one.
You got a three.
So you're in this muck.
Your wings are.
Destroyed.
There's a few tentacles.
There's one that Roger is on.
It's no longer attached to the bus.
The bus is just going away.
And you.
(37:05):
Feel the energy of your god.
You look up and you can see there's a raven.
Sitting on top of a building.
It's looking at you.
What do you say.
These gifts enough from you and I feel more useless than ever.
I can finally see.
And I can't even do anything with it.
(37:27):
With my new found power.
What am I supposed to do.
Your god says.
We must save the people.
If the people die.
There's no one left to worship me.
(37:50):
Avatar of the Raven.
Do you accept one more blessing.
Yes.
And he says.
Understood.
And the raven on the building flies away and like a puff of magic.
(38:12):
I'm gonna change the music here because I don't want that anymore.
It flies away and like a puff of magic.
And you're going to gain.
A new ability.
Right now in your weakest of points.
You're going to get a new shadow amp is what I'm going to call it.
And what this shadow amp does is it's like a.
(38:34):
Wave attack as you are down in this muck.
From your body.
You can explain from where if you want to.
But all of these spiritual ravens just explode and like this 40 foot radius.
Out of your body.
Just like.
And they.
(38:55):
Just kind of decimate everything around you.
And with this attack.
There's no you don't have to make an attack action but.
Things do need to make a defense save to get out of the way of your.
Attack right so all these tentacles.
Don't know what's going on.
(39:17):
And they got a two.
And I want you to.
How's this going to work.
I guess for me to make a defense action you still have to roll attack action because there has to be something to roll against.
But I don't want you to need to make an attack action because then that requires a dice roll.
(39:43):
So I'm going to ask you this.
Do you want this attack to do more damage without a dice roll or less damage.
Or sorry more damage with a dice roll or less damage without one.
Like are you going to focus on this attack or not.
I think I would focus on it if it's if it's a powerful attack I would focus on it and I would add a dice roll.
(40:10):
So you're going to make me an attack action then and it's going to do more damage than less.
And.
Has to be something spiritual we can call it double willpower.
Okay yeah.
(40:35):
Three nice nice.
So.
The song Ravens explode from your body.
All of the black shit just moves back and like a wave of 30 feet and you're left on the street.
Your wings are completely clean of all the nastiness and all the tentacles that were around you are going to take 10 physical damage.
(41:04):
All of them wither and fall to the ground and Roger you ride one down like a damn skateboard as it falls down to the ground.
You're like.
With your bare feet and everything and you guys land on the street.
There's a 30 foot circle of street full of muck around you and you just look up to the skyline as your bus is being carried to this supreme 10 base on the coast.
(41:30):
And Johnson's just up there shooting guns off like crazy.
All your friends are being carried away.
But the important thing is all of these birds just burst out from your chest and your God says I hope this helps.
Let's hope.
Are there people on the streets from where I've cleared things out or there are no people in the streets.
(41:54):
I think so yeah.
We're stuck.
There's probably let's roll a D4 here.
What is that?
Four.
Four.
Yeah there are four people that were under the muck but now are completely clear of it and they just like gasp for air.
(42:17):
Oh I'm gonna I would say I'm going to attend to them really quick.
I'm going to come over to them and be like you're safe now. Hate for the and essentially give them the address to the Temple of the Raven and be like find your sanctuary here.
Be safe.
Take any survivors with you.
Anyone you can free along the way.
Take them with you.
(42:39):
I like that.
And I'm going to run over and go the tentacles turned into regular looking people and just deck one of them in the face.
I'm not gonna make you roll Roger.
You just punch one.
His nose starts bleeding and he's like oh what the what the fuck man.
Oh never mind.
(43:00):
You're just a regular dildo.
Sorry about that.
He stands up and he's like is he with you.
Yeah I don't even care and he's going to try to punch you right back.
Oh no.
Do you want me to roll defense.
I kind of just want to roll strength so I can just stop his fist with my forehead.
(43:25):
You got to roll defense but you can say you do that if you succeed.
Beat it too.
Okay.
Yeah.
Four. You succeed.
I just want to headbutt his fist and like break his fucking hand.
Oh my fucking hand.
God damn it.
Don't start shit won't be shit bitch.
(43:48):
Don't start nothing won't be nothing.
There you go.
Bob is still on the bus certifiable correct.
Correct.
Okay they gather up their things and they climb on top of a car and they like car hop to like get through the city because there's just four foot of muck everywhere now.
The floor is lava.
(44:10):
Yeah.
The floor is tar.
You two are now alone in the city in this little circle.
What do you do?
Now if I keep concentrating on this spell that the Raven just gave me if I keep concentrating on it can I just make like a path with it like just keep walking forward path in my way for you.
(44:41):
That is super cool.
I don't know if you can do that.
We can call it a difficult we can call it a hard check.
But if you succeed, then you can cast it again and do it again.
Beat a six.
(45:04):
But it's wisdom wisdom so you have D 12.
Six.
So you succeed then.
Ben uses this used to reroll check.
Four. Nice, which means you do for sure succeed.
So you go to the edge of the line.
(45:27):
You look around.
You get down and you pull these Ravens all out of your body again.
And in a big circle.
They just all explode.
And there's another 30 foot circle that you can now walk through.
Yeah, I imagine I just kind of want to keep doing that towards the beach.
(45:51):
Okay, as much as I can but sending any people that I save to the church like being like go over there for salvation.
Just go on.
I imagine there's a lot of people too that you're going to just free from this muck that are being held down.
So I want you to roll me a D 100 and we'll see you get that many people saved on your way.
Exchange of noodles please.
(46:15):
99.
What the fuck?
99 people you save.
That's a good dice roll right there.
Story dad.
Story dad has come.
What in hell?
What in hell?
Error.
Sir Underscore Puberty used to reroll Anonka.
(46:36):
How dare you Puberty?
You bastard.
Now it's going to be night.
Yeah, story dad hi buddy. Welcome to the shoot show.
Cheers my guy.
67.
Still pretty. That's a lot.
Okay.
Too many by my standard.
While she's cleaning the streets and you guys are walking through, Roger, is there anything you want to do before you hit this Air Force base?
(47:02):
Gift of Potion.
I'm just going to be...
Certifiable Underscore Nerd just redeemed custom potion.
Bob, Essence of Mandroid. Until the next break, pouring this kind of lubricant infuses a vehicle with the essence of Mandroid.
The vehicle can now transform at the guidance of its driver.
Oh fuck.
You know how cool that would have been a couple episodes ago?
That's fucking badass dude.
(47:24):
That's badass dude.
Okay.
Good God. I'll keep that in mind.
Roger?
What do you do?
He gave it to Bob looks like.
Yeah, he gave it to Bob.
Bob's the only one in the car.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Let's see.
Could I fucking get in there with him and Alicia?
(47:45):
Yeah.
No, I imagine Alicia's back at the church probably.
Yeah, back at the church.
I'm just kind of following behind Anonka with a rocket launcher, you know, looking for tentacles that might be a little too close.
Nice.
Just exploding tentacles.
We can roleplay it so you can do that the whole way.
Anything that gets too close to you.
(48:06):
Yeah.
Hell yeah.
Badass.
Okay.
A lot of times I'm just getting scared by normal people jumping on cars and I'm like, there's another one that looks like a human, but it's not.
And Anonka has to convince me every time that.
Anonka is just coming up behind him as he jumps up.
(48:28):
He jumps up on a car and I immediately just grab his belt buckle and yank him back.
Like, it's just like, do you fucking knock it off?
Why are there tentacle people?
I'm being sure after like the sixth time it's just annoying and you're just like pulling on his belt.
Just like fucking stop.
Stop.
Get it out.
Okay.
(48:50):
After some time.
You get through the city.
You're clearing out this muck and these tentacles.
Step by step.
Feet by feet.
It takes a while.
The sun begins to set and the muck at this point is leaking out of buildings.
Just covering everything.
(49:12):
People are all on top of buildings trying to get away from it.
It's everywhere.
And you guys are down on the street and you cross this huge main road on the coast.
It's just covered in cars and the cars are covered in muck.
And eventually you get to across the street to this base.
(49:33):
This base has huge billboards on it advertising all different kinds of crap that you know that no one needs.
But the Supreme 10 are pushing this crap to the people as much as they possibly can.
Sleep aids, random mattress bullshit, all different kinds of crap that you know in your hearts.
The Supreme 10 caused these issues and are now charging the people to fix the issues.
(49:59):
It's nonsense.
Oh.
You ate too much meat?
And now you have the meat sweats.
We have pills for that.
These are all things the Supreme 10 caused.
And when you guys see these billboards you're fucking filled with rage.
But as you look across you can see this electrified fence.
(50:23):
Huge tall 20 foot tall fence.
On the other side of it is the van covered in tentacles.
And you can hear muffled screams of your friends on the inside.
About 30 feet from that there are two huge like bay doors that are latched and shut.
(50:45):
What do you do?
A locked item that can't be opened with regular mean.
I guess there's nothing we can do about it.
(51:06):
Then I shoulder my rocket launcher and start to walk the other way.
Just kidding I turn around and shoot it with my rocket launcher.
Nice.
So there's a gate in front of you first.
Do you shoot the gate?
No I shoot those big hangar doors.
(51:28):
Okay.
So I want you to roll to hit.
But your rocket has to go through the gate, past the bus and then hit the hangar doors.
Alright.
I'm going to use my special skill.
Okay.
Yeah it's heavy weapons.
And the specialization that I spent my karma on this week is called I'm just a goblin with a rocket launcher.
(51:58):
Mint Turk.
Alright I'll re-roll that shit P-Ward.
Fucking dead.
Okay I got a five, you got a five.
Which means that it hits.
What's your specialization?
What does it do?
Oh no I'm just a goblin with a rocket launcher baby.
Okay.
So you turn around and then you go just kidding and then you turn around and you fire this rocket and it goes and it hits and makes a hole in this electrified fence.
(52:28):
It goes and then it flies past the bus through a bunch of tentacles like right in between like a hole of them and it hits this huge bay door.
And it makes a hole in it and then alarms start going off.
Wee, wee, wee, wee.
(52:50):
Cool well at least they know we're here.
Anonka what do you do?
I'm going to pat Roger on the shoulder and be like good job champ.
Wait is there like a gate shack or like a guard or something that's like incapacitated?
(53:15):
Oh you know it.
Yeah 100%.
He's not incapacitated he's just sitting there like normal day job.
He's like watching like Jerry Springer.
Couch coin.
Oh wait.
Certifiable underscore nerd just redeemed couch coin.
Roger for the proper application of rocket launches.
When all you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.
When all you have is a rocket launcher.
(53:40):
That puts you up to three Roger.
Remember that.
There's absolutely a guard shack.
Sitting in that guard shack is an overweight guard with a huge beard and he's watching Jerry Springer on a TV laughing, eating something out of a bowl.
He ain't paying a lick of fucking attention.
All right well I'm just going to walk into that gate shack and I'm going to take.
(54:06):
Hello.
Hey what's up man take his hat slap him a few times.
He like spills his cereal.
Why?
Why?
Why have you done this?
You should do your job better.
Here's some candy.
Idiot.
Roger is reflecting.
(54:32):
I mean Connor is reflecting.
All right.
And as we walk past the boat like I'm going to dip in for just a moment as we're leaving and just tap the guard on the head and be like dream of horrors and just tap him with chaotic world just in their own head.
He's like.
He has visions.
He starts screaming.
(54:54):
You know the visions he has and he has visions he loves cookies and he starts dreaming about cookies and the cookies can walk and he's really happy.
I told you I took his hat.
And then all of the cookies grow fangs and whip out knives and start chasing him and he's like.
Cookie kids. Cookie wife. Cookie kids. Cookie kids. No cookie wife. No. Cookie wife. Not cookie wife.
(55:22):
Cookie wife.
You guys haven't watched final space.
Are you trying to do peppermint Larry or something from planet earth?
No.
Not cookie wife.
No.
See the head. The only thing that will save him is the head of the lardons.
Okay. What do you do Roger? You got a hat now. Did you take his hat?
(55:46):
Yeah. Yeah. I took his hat after I slapped him around a little bit.
Nice.
Yeah now my regular jagov disguise is complete.
You look down and you see there's a button that says open gate right here in the guard chat.
(56:07):
And he's still there?
Yeah but he's having nightmares about cookies.
Okay I'm going to grab his head and slam it on the button.
He's like oh no cookie wife.
And then gate opens.
You guys, here's the important thing.
(56:28):
You guys step into the gate.
When you step inside you can see there's no muck here.
But there are tentacles coming from the ocean that have snapped up the bus.
And the bus is still being riled around like crazy and your friends are screaming on the inside.
You know on the inside Bob Zombie is just holding this mandroid lubricant.
(56:51):
He doesn't know what to do with it.
He's scared. He doesn't know what to do.
Bob's just holding it. He's like I've been saving this for some good time man.
It's going to be good man.
And Crux is like can I drink it?
He's like no don't drink the lubricant. He's ready.
But as you guys step into the inside of this gate you hear the squeaking of a bat.
(57:14):
Eee eee eee eee.
And Anonka lands behind, or Eon lands beside you.
Eon has returned.
In front of you guys is a way to save the city.
You must get inside. You must play one final song to put this tentacle, Cthulhu monster to its final rest.
(57:38):
But first there's a base you must get through.
And you must save your friends.
Next time on Metal Omnicon.
There it is.
There it is.
Whapapapadadadadada.
How many tickles does it take to make Octopus laugh?
(58:01):
Ten tickles.
Ten tickles.

All is well, but for tonight, we're going to have a little bit of fun.
We're going to do some things. Did I miss anything? Before we run the musical intro, hmm?
Don't forget to give us a rating on Spotify or a like and a comment on YouTube if that's where you're watching us later on.
(02:55):
It really helps the algorithms and makes people know that you like the things that we do so we can keep doing the things that you like that we do.
You know, leave a comment. Leave a suggestion. Say, your toes smell like cheese, Proteus. What the fuck? Why can I smell it through the screen?
Put that in the comments, I dare you.
Or like Puberty did today, left a comment that I think just said, Roger is bae. One of our videos. Thank you, Puberty. Appreciate that.
(03:20):
We're well on our way to 1,200 subscribers, which is beautiful.
If you're watching in the future, probably more than that. But hey, it's free and helps so much. Yeah, dude!
Support your friends and support your friends' friends, right? That's right.
Your toes smell like Fritos. Fritos, Cheetos, and Alibitos. That's right.
Okay, it's musical intro time, everybody. Fucking cheers. Thank you so much for joining us. We have one episode left.
(03:43):
But it's time for some story, a story that's never yet to have been storied. Let's do it.
Cheers, y'all.
(04:19):
Oh, welcome back. Good to have you here. I still love that song. And by the way, you can check out the full album on Spotify. That's right.
And a YouTube video that we made on YouTube. It's very good. Very good stuff. It's very cool. And this whole campaign. It's very cool.
Alright. Boys and girls, it's time for story.
A little bit of a recap, I guess, is in order. Last week, the band managed to secure the fifth and final page to the song, Metal Omnicon.
(04:53):
The song that they have learned that will be able to put the beast that the Supreme Ten is trying to summon back in its slumber.
Over the course of time, their band manager or agent, Mr. Johnson, has guided them and helped them throughout all of this, trying to help get them to this point where they can save the world because he got the hint of the Supreme Ten and he hates them just as much as the band does.
(05:18):
We got pages from all over the place and we finally have all five.
Of course, we've recruited some friends along the way, like Crux the Viking, very cool guy, and our hellhound, Lucien Lucifer, who was the leader of the rebellion before they got struck by magic and turned into a hellhound.
(05:41):
Yes. So our story is going to return in a fun little place.
You guys just finished a show, all right, you just played some music for a bunch of your fans.
One last time to get out there and play some music and the show went well.
A lot of people showed up, a lot of people were talking about this revolution that you guys did, charging into a skyscraper with all of your fans and just blowing up the whole place.
(06:10):
They were excited and they were there full force to support you.
Of course, many died that day and you did or went out for them.
But now that the show has ended, Mr. Johnson has sent Eon off on our own little special mission and is now with you guys talking about where to go next.
(06:33):
Now, as you guys are walking back to your bus, how about this? We'll roleplay this a little bit.
We'll get into roleplay. Mr. Johnson is there.
And of course, Mr. Johnson used to be a complete suit.
But at this point, he's got corpse makeup on that isn't very good.
He's wearing a choker. He's got his earrings in. His sleeves are ripped off.
You guys influenced him a lot over the course of this time.
(06:56):
And he's even added some combat boots to his repertoire.
And he's walking with you, too.
And as you guys are walking, he's like.
So, and Anonka Roger, how are we feeling about all this supreme 10 business?
(07:19):
Those are the guys we're trying to kill, right?
I feel like we could be killing them more than we currently are right now.
I mean, I feel a little lost in the weeds about where they're supposed to be trying to summon whatever we're trying to not have summoned.
(07:43):
Right. This is a very good question. And I have been doing some research.
I've got some guys on the inside, including Rogers old friend Pickles.
And we believe Pickles has a lead on where they're going to be doing this summoning.
(08:08):
Well, spill it. Don't don't keep us waiting.
Spell it. All right, Ben. Well, we do believe that there is a base here, a supreme 10 base.
It used to be an Air Force base that they have turned into their own little supreme 10 kind of research facility full of scientists, equipment, you know, whatever other bullshit these assholes want to use.
(08:40):
But they've turned it into a base.
And from what Pickles has informed me with is that under this base, they have some kind of circle of magic, lava, I don't know, something crazy like that.
And they plan to summon this beast from there.
(09:09):
Oh, good.
We have a beast. Oh, yeah.
Oh, good. Love a beast.
It's a good beast to have, you know.
Anyways, Roger, you ready to kill some shit?
Yeah, just point me in the direction.
You know, hopefully that direction has a large amount of health care attached to it because it's going to need it.
(09:39):
Well, that's good.
Anonka, I also see you have new eyes now. Is that new?
It is, yeah.
One of the failures that we took down at the place where you were captured had eyes that my God bestowed upon me. So here we are with fresh new eyeballs.
I swear being able to say this much.
(10:03):
I imagine a whole new world for you, huh?
Yeah, just about, yeah.
All right, so as you guys are walking, you can see up ahead at the very end of this large parking lot because you guys have been talking for a little while.
Your van bus is parked there and you can see through the windows, it looks like crux and, you know, Bob the zombie.
(10:27):
They're having some fun, you know, dancing around. It's a good old day for them.
Lucy's even in there, you know, she's barking away. You can hear her. It's like the sun is shining on them and everything is just beautiful.
It's a great day. Your bus is in supreme condition. You guys have the pages. You have everything you've ever wanted.
But as you're walking towards the bus, this is when things start to get a little fucked.
(10:55):
You hear screams coming from up the street.
When you look up this darkened cyber sci-fi road, there are floating cars that start skidding out of place and smashing into walls.
People just screaming.
(11:17):
And you guys are looking and I want to make the first roll of the night to see how much of a jump you can get on this.
We're going to do a perception check for you guys.
Mm hmm. Scott left. Gotta get ready for sleep. Well, thanks for coming in. Codefinance has been on loop endlessly.
Also, Terk. Hell yeah, dude. I love Codefinance. Yeah, you got to beat a two.
(11:41):
Anaka got a one and Roger got a four. Copy that.
Are you still blind? I can't remember. No, I'm not blind anymore. You'd think I'd roll higher. Oh, yeah.
You should get plus two eyeballs to your role.
(12:02):
True. She's just standing in front of a staff sergeant like I don't see anything.
What's going on?
I'm overwhelmed by reality. I'm not used to having this much sensory at once.
Noticing things going on all over the place. I don't know where to focus. No shit.
(12:25):
Tyler is like, oh my God, I'm blind again. I'm blind. Your eyes are closed.
I am Steve underscore forge of low used reroll. Tyler.
Tyler reroll. I do want to say, Tyler, if you're ever interested, you know, we're kicking back up.
We're not OK soon. And, you know, I'd love to get you on as a guest star if you're interested. Let me know.
(12:50):
But back to our story here. Roger, you can see looking up the street, these cars are skating out of place.
There's like explosions. And then as your eyes come into focus, you see coming out of a sewer grate,
a huge tentacle that has grabbed a person and is now swinging the person around in the air out of the sewer grate.
(13:16):
You look below the ground at your feet and you can see another sewer grate starting to bubble with this black,
viscous nastiness that's just bubbling out of the sewer grates.
And Johnson goes, oh, no, oh, no, it has begun. We must go band to the van.
(13:39):
And to the man, as you look up to the van, you can see tentacles coming out from sewer grates and grabbing all these cars.
And tentacles are starting to come up around the van.
And I need is one of you, whatever you're going to do to figure it out. And we'll make checks.
(14:00):
Well, I'm just going to scream to Ananka, I've seen a pentide to know where this is going.
And I sprint towards the van and dive through one of the windows, breaking it.
OK, I thought he was going to drop trial.
You're going to need to make an athletics check to get to the van.
Ananka, what are you doing?
(14:23):
Oh, I'm going to sprout wings. I'm going to go into like my harpy form.
It essentially pick up Johnson with my big claw bird feet and head towards the van to try and get in.
Five.
OK, then I'm also going to need you to make me an athletics check as well, Ananka.
(14:47):
With your wings, I'll give you a plus two D6.
Oh, how lovely. Oh, hell yeah.
Oh, I could have used parkour for that.
One of my specialized skills.
Yeah, that's very true, actually. Yeah.
He could do two things. Yes. Ooh, tentacles, slappy balls, tentacles.
(15:12):
By the way, I loved your art on Instagram today.
Gangers, very good job. Shout out to Gangers.
Really? What the fuck is happening?
You got a one.
And that was with the two extra.
Guys, get your fan art pens ready. Get your fan art pens ready.
Because tentacles are abound, everyone.
Gangers used reroll, Kate.
(15:34):
No.
Oh.
I was about to be the star of my own hentai. Dreams come true.
Four. Still didn't beat the five. You still have a chance.
I'll give you better because you did better.
So as you guys are running across this parking lot,
(15:56):
your feet are like slipping and sticking to all this nasty shit
that's coming out of all of these sewer grates.
And you take off up into the air, grab Johnson.
You get away from the nasty sticky shit.
And you take off and you jump.
You're like flipping Roger doing cartwheels.
It's like super excessive. You don't need to do all this shit.
But you're like jumping through this like sticky shit.
(16:18):
Tentacles coming out. You're dodging through them.
And you make it just in time as the tentacles lift the bus off of the ground.
And the tentacles begin grabbing it and carrying it down the street.
And you get your hands right on the bumper as it's carrying it down the street.
(16:39):
And on the inside, Lucien's just going crazy, barking, freaking out.
And Crux has his axe and he's like whipped it out.
He's like trying to get these tentacles.
But they're all through all the windows of the bus, just like...
And you're flying in the air behind it, Kate, with Johnson.
Johnson's like, where are we going? What is happening?
(17:05):
You tell me, buddy, but we're going to follow this bus.
Now that you have eyes, you're going to look down to the road.
You're looking at the bus. I just want to see something real quick.
Will you make me an investigation check?
We can call this wisdom...
So logic?
Wisdom logic, yeah. Let's do that.
(17:27):
Uh-oh.
That's a two.
Two.
Fuck. That was an easy check, dude.
Somehow I got three successes on 46.
Connor, I'm not Roger.
I can't magically make numbers that are higher than physically possible happen.
(17:49):
It's just not in my way. It's the only way.
So as you're looking down, all these other cars are just being crushed.
But the bus is just moving up the street.
And you move about a block as you're hanging onto it.
And more tentacles.
(18:11):
Like, yeah.
Hit it.
Hitting it.
Four!
Four! Finally, Arnie!
As an insight, you can see that the tentacles are coming up and like,
for a second it looks like they're inspecting the cars and then smashing them.
(18:32):
And then the tentacles that are wrapping around the bus,
instead of smashing it, it's being carried forward.
What's forward?
Can I see where it's...
Is there a general thing in that general direction?
Like, what's forward?
Yeah, so like there's this super long road.
(18:53):
Like this is like...
The show you were playing was a pretty big show.
It was right off the highway.
So there's this super long road.
And at the very end of it, it looks like it goes all the way up to the coast.
Oh!
Tentacle bussy in the ocean.
Alright.
(19:14):
Good.
Okay, back to Roger.
Roger, what do?
Can I open the emergency exit on the back of the bus and get on?
I want you to make me a strength check.
There's tentacles holding it down.
You're going to try to move the tentacles out of the way and rip it open.
Strength, strength.
(19:35):
Yeah, beat it fucking zero.
Jesus.
Okay.
That's a two.
Alright, you rip it open.
And the tentacles...
God!
You jump in?
Yeah, I jump in and I run to the front of the bus and I rip Bob out of the driver's seat and say,
Let me drive!
(19:58):
You grab the wheel.
You guys are floating as these tentacles are just carrying you.
And you get behind the wheel.
You start it and the wheels are just spinning.
But I...
See, look how well I can stay in the lines, Bob.
He's like, Roger, man, man, look, like a tentacle comes in the window and he like smacks it away.
(20:23):
He's like, man, we're being attacked right now, man.
What are you doing?
Oh, you know, just driving the bus like a cool guy.
Oh, okay.
And he's going to pull out his shotgun and he shoots one of the tentacles.
(20:45):
Back to Anonka.
What do?
Yeah, I got my feet up on the dash.
Are we going are we going past my church?
Uh, roll me a D100.
We'll make a luck check and call it Heisenloh's.
Yeah.
Eyes.
(21:07):
That's a 49.
No, you're not.
Oh, god.
Get so close.
Two below what would have been high.
Yeah, that's fucked.
I don't have any luck with rules.
It's my new single for my solo album.
Good God.
(21:28):
All right.
All right.
So I guess I continue following the bus like we're not going to land on it, but we're going to continue to follow over.
All right, that's fair.
Now, a tentacle comes through the window, Roger, and it tries to grab you.
I need you to make me a defense check.
(21:54):
Oh, can you see I'm driving here?
I'm trying to drive.
That's a one.
Fuck.
The tentacle comes in, grapples around your neck.
Your hands are on the steering wheel and you're like, what?
Pulls you out the window.
And now you're in the air.
(22:17):
Crooks is on the bus.
Can Crooks come out and try to hit it with an axe before he gets pulled out?
Do you want to command him?
He might hear you in the chaos, but I need you to make me a charisma charisma check.
Well, I wouldn't be able to see it.
I would just assume he's seeing the shit happen on the bus.
(22:38):
Because he's on the bus.
Right.
And he respects me.
The thought process is that he follows your orders, so he doesn't know what to do.
And he's just like, oh, oh, oh.
So I need to see if he can hear you like, attack, Crooks.
So make me a charisma charisma.
Fucking use that.
All right, that's fine.
Yeah.
(23:00):
Got that pure raised.
You only got to be a one.
All right.
Only got to be a one.
Let's see.
I want more than a one on rolling 14 days.
Well, see a six.
Yeah, he hears you.
Oh, oh, oh.
He looks out the window.
It's all broken and shit.
(23:21):
He ducks his head down.
You can see him.
He goes, oh, hey, no, no.
You're fat folk.
What?
Defend the bus, you fat folk.
Well, I mean, I do say so myself.
I bought you that lightsaber X for a reason.
Now use it.
(23:42):
Oh, attack.
He just starts chopping tentacles in the bus.
I'm actually going to make a check for him.
He has to be a seven.
He's got a four.
So he's fucking them up.
(24:03):
But it's not enough.
He doesn't get to the Roger one.
Yeah, he doesn't get to the Roger one.
Yeah.
Yeah.
All right.
OK.
In that case, since I just I just talked, right?
OK.
Still my turn though.
Yeah.
OK.
That was kind of like an NPC turn.
Technically.
(24:24):
OK.
Another tentacle is going to try to grab you from out of the air.
Anonka.
So I need you to make it a tentacle.
They are everywhere.
They're coming out of the building.
How big?
They're coming.
Oh, a couple of arms.
There's like a couple arms together.
How do you?
(24:48):
Yeah, it's choking Roger out.
Yeah.
I got a two.
You got a two.
I got a two.
Do you want to spend your couch coin to make this attack not successful?
Sure.
Yeah.
All right.
You spend your one and only couch coin.
The tentacle comes out of a building.
It's got like an office guy who's got like this beard.
(25:12):
He's like really long gray beard.
And he's like, I told you I'm not giving you five bucks.
And then it drops him down into the mush and it tries to grab you instead.
It like sees you through its tentacle.
Mine is like.
And it misses.
And you.
Johnson, I'm going to have to land you on the bus.
(25:34):
You're going to have to go through the skylight on the bus.
I can't carry you and and dodge at the same time.
True.
But turn order.
The bus now moves forward.
Roger is out of the bus and it's about 20 feet in front of you guys.
And all of the muck below you is getting thicker.
It's a couple feet deep.
(25:55):
You can see the wizard guy that just got dropped into the muck is now like stuck like above ankle deep.
And the bus is about 20 feet ahead.
And it's Roger's turn.
Uh.
Yeah.
Uh.
(26:16):
I'm just going to.
You know what?
The tentacle is going to try to choke me.
I'm going to try to choke the tentacle and I'm going to put it in a headlock and squeeze.
You like it.
I'm getting choked at the same time.
So Roger, I'll give you a couch coin for that.
That's funny.
That's funny though.
(26:38):
OK.
Defense check from the tentacle is a two.
I'm just going to go ahead and do a strength strike.
No.
You squeeze the fuck out of the tentacle.
And I picture like you squeeze it so hard that it like pops in the bottom thick part falls off and starts flailing.
(27:00):
And you still have this like unconscious like not moving bit around your neck like a scarf like it loosens, but it's still there.
And then you drop down to the ground and you land ankle deep in this muck.
Oh, shit.
How long is the one on my neck?
(27:22):
Three feet.
Oh, well, the bus is definitely three feet away.
Twenty feet.
Yeah.
Can I can I try to like get unstuck from the muck by climbing on the tentacles?
(27:43):
I would say it's difficult terrain.
If this was D&D 5e, I would have your movement, but it's not.
So as it stands right now, you could move as normal, but just picture your feet being covered in black nastiness.
Is there a tentacle stock near me that I could hop on?
Sure.
Yeah, for sure. But I'll need to check.
(28:06):
Agility.
Parkour even.
Yes.
Beat of three.
Alright.
Four.
Alright.
Explain what you do.
Well, I want to hop out of my shoes.
They stay in the cut in the muck.
(28:28):
And I start using my three feet of tentacle as like a climbing rope that I wrap around the tentacle.
And I'm like shimming up the tentacle of my bare feet.
So I'm like digging into the tentacle with my long gross toenails.
I'm climbing up this thing like a fucking palm tree.
(28:49):
OK.
I don't know what your goal was here, but I love it.
I'm trying to get back on the bus.
OK, cool.
Here's the do.
I love it.
OK, you climb up this tentacle and it's pretty close to this bus.
Cougars layer ready to stay, buddy.
(29:10):
Cheers, man.
That's clear.
Hey, Cougar.
How's it going?
Hey, Zergo.
What do you do?
Oh, for fuck's sake, I have no idea.
I'm at a loss here.
All right.
Well, first off, we're going to try to dive forward and dump Johnson on the top of the bus.
That's that's number one.
Cool.
Cool.
So movements pretty much free in this system.
(29:31):
So you can absolutely dump him at the top.
No check needed.
All right. Cool.
Because yeah, I'm going to.
But then on the attacking tentacles of what's surrounded, I want to essentially I want to use my elemental attack, which summons vast amounts of electricity.
I imagine they're pretty goopy, so they would they would conduct electricity really well.
(29:56):
Hell, yeah.
I think that's cool.
That's very cool.
All right.
We're going to make a check then.
Yeah.
Am I going to make a defense check, you think?
Well, it does.
So I don't understand that.
So it's one of my shadow arms.
So I don't have to roll for it.
OK.
Well, you I don't know how that works.
(30:18):
Yeah.
So this is elemental attack electricity level three combat damage is six PAA defenses S plus W.
OK.
So I don't know how to roll for it or how that works since it's strength willpower.
Yeah.
Can you click it?
(30:40):
No.
Oh, I want to open it.
I want to look at it.
Yeah, that's fine.
Oh, so it's just one of these.
I think it's like you combine it with combat damage of six physical.
Nice.
Well, we can say I want you to describe how this electricity, how you use it.
(31:07):
All right.
And we'll make the attacks.
You're still going to do an attack.
I think I think in that case, we're going to do I'm going to use my conjuring for it.
Conjure up like I'm going to find the air in the like I'm going to through my wings tips.
I'm going to feel the air and pull in negative and positive from each side of me and combine them together
(31:30):
and press it outward towards all of the surrounding tentacles that are holding the bus.
Hmm.
That's cool.
OK.
Four.
Four.
Let's see here.
Four, which means you succeed.
So from your wings, the tips of your Raven wings, electricity just emerges.
(31:58):
And I picture it goes through all this muck like it goes up through the tentacles.
And that even shocks Roger a little bit.
That's not too much to hurt him.
But you feel it, Roger.
You're like, you know, holding onto a tentacle.
And you can see all of them kind of pull back a little bit around the bus and even some release.
And it looks like there's only three large tentacles left pushing the bus forward.
(32:27):
Am I on one of those three large ones?
I don't think so.
But why don't you make me a luck check?
Roll a D100.
Call it high or low.
Oh.
We'll do.
We always do high.
We always do high.
58.
Yes.
(32:48):
Yeah.
You are on one of those tentacles.
But one of the tentacles from the muck comes up out of the ground as the muck continues to get thicker on this road.
It's up probably about three feet now.
It comes up and it's going to try to grab you, Ananka, out of the sky as you're flying.
And I need you to make me a defense check.
(33:13):
I got a six.
You got a zero.
Damn.
It wraps around your legs and pulls you down out of the sky.
And you're down in the muck.
Meaty.
Meaty.
The other tentacle that you're riding, Roger, is going to whip around like crazy to try to get you off of it.
(33:38):
And I just want you to make me a strength strength check.
Ben uses his three roll, Ananka.
Oh, Ben uses.
Look, you're on it today, friend.
Thank you for joining us.
Hit it, Ananka.
I'm not going to hit it.
I'm hitting it.
Oh, that's a two.
It's close.
There was almost no way I was going to get it.
There's no way.
I just like strength.
(34:01):
You got a couple.
So you got a nine.
So you hold on tight to that tentacles.
It's whipping around like crazy.
Mr. Johnson pulls out the gun that Roger gave him.
And he goes to the front of the bus and just starts firing at the tentacle that's at the front of the bus.
And he's like, it's pee pee time.
(34:25):
And he starts shooting it like crazy.
Johnson got a four.
The tentacle moving around got a six.
A bunch of bullets miss.
Dang, Johnson.
Dang.
Tentacles like bending out of the way.
In the bus.
Crucks is attacking one of the tentacles that's left.
(34:48):
Crucks got a one.
Tentacles got a five.
He does no damage to it.
Aeon's going to be the only character left by the end of this episode.
No.
The bus moves forward.
Aeon's going to be doing the final episode by herself.
Another 40 feet fast as it rolls over these tentacles.
And you could hear the suction cups just like.
(35:10):
As it rolls over tentacles onto more tentacles as it moves towards the coast.
And as you guys have gotten further you can see this skylight.
There's like a base there.
And in the sky above the skylight there's just tentacles coming out of the coast out of the water.
As the water is slowly turning black.
(35:32):
And you hear Johnson and he's like, that's it.
The base.
That's it.
As he's riding on top of this thing.
Now before I end my game master turn.
Anonka.
Yay.
You're stuck.
Your wings are in muck.
(35:55):
You feel defeated.
You feel like all these godly powers.
And your friends are still being taken away.
For some unforesaken reason.
You feel defeated.
And in this moment I want to see if you can call out to your.
(36:16):
Gift a potion.
Miramorgus just redeemed custom potion.
A potion for Anonka that allows for freedom of movement for five rounds and she cannot be grabbed or held in place in that time.
I love that.
I do.
And you can use that.
But first.
I want you to see.
But first.
Call out to your god.
For me please.
Just make me a spiritual check as you usually make here.
(36:43):
And you've got to beat a one.
You got a three.
So you're in this muck.
Your wings are.
Destroyed.
There's a few tentacles.
There's one that Roger is on.
It's no longer attached to the bus.
The bus is just going away.
And you.
(37:05):
Feel the energy of your god.
You look up and you can see there's a raven.
Sitting on top of a building.
It's looking at you.
What do you say.
These gifts enough from you and I feel more useless than ever.
I can finally see.
And I can't even do anything with it.
(37:27):
With my new found power.
What am I supposed to do.
Your god says.
We must save the people.
If the people die.
There's no one left to worship me.
(37:50):
Avatar of the Raven.
Do you accept one more blessing.
Yes.
And he says.
Understood.
And the raven on the building flies away and like a puff of magic.
(38:12):
I'm gonna change the music here because I don't want that anymore.
It flies away and like a puff of magic.
And you're going to gain.
A new ability.
Right now in your weakest of points.
You're going to get a new shadow amp is what I'm going to call it.
And what this shadow amp does is it's like a.
(38:34):
Wave attack as you are down in this muck.
From your body.
You can explain from where if you want to.
But all of these spiritual ravens just explode and like this 40 foot radius.
Out of your body.
Just like.
And they.
(38:55):
Just kind of decimate everything around you.
And with this attack.
There's no you don't have to make an attack action but.
Things do need to make a defense save to get out of the way of your.
Attack right so all these tentacles.
Don't know what's going on.
(39:17):
And they got a two.
And I want you to.
How's this going to work.
I guess for me to make a defense action you still have to roll attack action because there has to be something to roll against.
But I don't want you to need to make an attack action because then that requires a dice roll.
(39:43):
So I'm going to ask you this.
Do you want this attack to do more damage without a dice roll or less damage.
Or sorry more damage with a dice roll or less damage without one.
Like are you going to focus on this attack or not.
I think I would focus on it if it's if it's a powerful attack I would focus on it and I would add a dice roll.
(40:10):
So you're going to make me an attack action then and it's going to do more damage than less.
And.
Has to be something spiritual we can call it double willpower.
Okay yeah.
(40:35):
Three nice nice.
So.
The song Ravens explode from your body.
All of the black shit just moves back and like a wave of 30 feet and you're left on the street.
Your wings are completely clean of all the nastiness and all the tentacles that were around you are going to take 10 physical damage.
(41:04):
All of them wither and fall to the ground and Roger you ride one down like a damn skateboard as it falls down to the ground.
You're like.
With your bare feet and everything and you guys land on the street.
There's a 30 foot circle of street full of muck around you and you just look up to the skyline as your bus is being carried to this supreme 10 base on the coast.
(41:30):
And Johnson's just up there shooting guns off like crazy.
All your friends are being carried away.
But the important thing is all of these birds just burst out from your chest and your God says I hope this helps.
Let's hope.
Are there people on the streets from where I've cleared things out or there are no people in the streets.
(41:54):
I think so yeah.
We're stuck.
There's probably let's roll a D4 here.
What is that?
Four.
Four.
Yeah there are four people that were under the muck but now are completely clear of it and they just like gasp for air.
(42:17):
Oh I'm gonna I would say I'm going to attend to them really quick.
I'm going to come over to them and be like you're safe now. Hate for the and essentially give them the address to the Temple of the Raven and be like find your sanctuary here.
Be safe.
Take any survivors with you.
Anyone you can free along the way.
Take them with you.
(42:39):
I like that.
And I'm going to run over and go the tentacles turned into regular looking people and just deck one of them in the face.
I'm not gonna make you roll Roger.
You just punch one.
His nose starts bleeding and he's like oh what the what the fuck man.
Oh never mind.
(43:00):
You're just a regular dildo.
Sorry about that.
He stands up and he's like is he with you.
Yeah I don't even care and he's going to try to punch you right back.
Oh no.
Do you want me to roll defense.
I kind of just want to roll strength so I can just stop his fist with my forehead.
(43:25):
You got to roll defense but you can say you do that if you succeed.
Beat it too.
Okay.
Yeah.
Four. You succeed.
I just want to headbutt his fist and like break his fucking hand.
Oh my fucking hand.
God damn it.
Don't start shit won't be shit bitch.
(43:48):
Don't start nothing won't be nothing.
There you go.
Bob is still on the bus certifiable correct.
Correct.
Okay they gather up their things and they climb on top of a car and they like car hop to like get through the city because there's just four foot of muck everywhere now.
The floor is lava.
(44:10):
Yeah.
The floor is tar.
You two are now alone in the city in this little circle.
What do you do?
Now if I keep concentrating on this spell that the Raven just gave me if I keep concentrating on it can I just make like a path with it like just keep walking forward path in my way for you.
(44:41):
That is super cool.
I don't know if you can do that.
We can call it a difficult we can call it a hard check.
But if you succeed, then you can cast it again and do it again.
Beat a six.
(45:04):
But it's wisdom wisdom so you have D 12.
Six.
So you succeed then.
Ben uses this used to reroll check.
Four. Nice, which means you do for sure succeed.
So you go to the edge of the line.
(45:27):
You look around.
You get down and you pull these Ravens all out of your body again.
And in a big circle.
They just all explode.
And there's another 30 foot circle that you can now walk through.
Yeah, I imagine I just kind of want to keep doing that towards the beach.
(45:51):
Okay, as much as I can but sending any people that I save to the church like being like go over there for salvation.
Just go on.
I imagine there's a lot of people too that you're going to just free from this muck that are being held down.
So I want you to roll me a D 100 and we'll see you get that many people saved on your way.
Exchange of noodles please.
(46:15):
99.
What the fuck?
99 people you save.
That's a good dice roll right there.
Story dad.
Story dad has come.
What in hell?
What in hell?
Error.
Sir Underscore Puberty used to reroll Anonka.
(46:36):
How dare you Puberty?
You bastard.
Now it's going to be night.
Yeah, story dad hi buddy. Welcome to the shoot show.
Cheers my guy.
67.
Still pretty. That's a lot.
Okay.
Too many by my standard.
While she's cleaning the streets and you guys are walking through, Roger, is there anything you want to do before you hit this Air Force base?
(47:02):
Gift of Potion.
I'm just going to be...
Certifiable Underscore Nerd just redeemed custom potion.
Bob, Essence of Mandroid. Until the next break, pouring this kind of lubricant infuses a vehicle with the essence of Mandroid.
The vehicle can now transform at the guidance of its driver.
Oh fuck.
You know how cool that would have been a couple episodes ago?
That's fucking badass dude.
(47:24):
That's badass dude.
Okay.
Good God. I'll keep that in mind.
Roger?
What do you do?
He gave it to Bob looks like.
Yeah, he gave it to Bob.
Bob's the only one in the car.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Let's see.
Could I fucking get in there with him and Alicia?
(47:45):
Yeah.
No, I imagine Alicia's back at the church probably.
Yeah, back at the church.
I'm just kind of following behind Anonka with a rocket launcher, you know, looking for tentacles that might be a little too close.
Nice.
Just exploding tentacles.
We can roleplay it so you can do that the whole way.
Anything that gets too close to you.
(48:06):
Yeah.
Hell yeah.
Badass.
Okay.
A lot of times I'm just getting scared by normal people jumping on cars and I'm like, there's another one that looks like a human, but it's not.
And Anonka has to convince me every time that.
Anonka is just coming up behind him as he jumps up.
(48:28):
He jumps up on a car and I immediately just grab his belt buckle and yank him back.
Like, it's just like, do you fucking knock it off?
Why are there tentacle people?
I'm being sure after like the sixth time it's just annoying and you're just like pulling on his belt.
Just like fucking stop.
Stop.
Get it out.
Okay.
(48:50):
After some time.
You get through the city.
You're clearing out this muck and these tentacles.
Step by step.
Feet by feet.
It takes a while.
The sun begins to set and the muck at this point is leaking out of buildings.
Just covering everything.
(49:12):
People are all on top of buildings trying to get away from it.
It's everywhere.
And you guys are down on the street and you cross this huge main road on the coast.
It's just covered in cars and the cars are covered in muck.
And eventually you get to across the street to this base.
(49:33):
This base has huge billboards on it advertising all different kinds of crap that you know that no one needs.
But the Supreme 10 are pushing this crap to the people as much as they possibly can.
Sleep aids, random mattress bullshit, all different kinds of crap that you know in your hearts.
The Supreme 10 caused these issues and are now charging the people to fix the issues.
(49:59):
It's nonsense.
Oh.
You ate too much meat?
And now you have the meat sweats.
We have pills for that.
These are all things the Supreme 10 caused.
And when you guys see these billboards you're fucking filled with rage.
But as you look across you can see this electrified fence.
(50:23):
Huge tall 20 foot tall fence.
On the other side of it is the van covered in tentacles.
And you can hear muffled screams of your friends on the inside.
About 30 feet from that there are two huge like bay doors that are latched and shut.
(50:45):
What do you do?
A locked item that can't be opened with regular mean.
I guess there's nothing we can do about it.
(51:06):
Then I shoulder my rocket launcher and start to walk the other way.
Just kidding I turn around and shoot it with my rocket launcher.
Nice.
So there's a gate in front of you first.
Do you shoot the gate?
No I shoot those big hangar doors.
(51:28):
Okay.
So I want you to roll to hit.
But your rocket has to go through the gate, past the bus and then hit the hangar doors.
Alright.
I'm going to use my special skill.
Okay.
Yeah it's heavy weapons.
And the specialization that I spent my karma on this week is called I'm just a goblin with a rocket launcher.
(51:58):
Mint Turk.
Alright I'll re-roll that shit P-Ward.
Fucking dead.
Okay I got a five, you got a five.
Which means that it hits.
What's your specialization?
What does it do?
Oh no I'm just a goblin with a rocket launcher baby.
Okay.
So you turn around and then you go just kidding and then you turn around and you fire this rocket and it goes and it hits and makes a hole in this electrified fence.
(52:28):
It goes and then it flies past the bus through a bunch of tentacles like right in between like a hole of them and it hits this huge bay door.
And it makes a hole in it and then alarms start going off.
Wee, wee, wee, wee.
(52:50):
Cool well at least they know we're here.
Anonka what do you do?
I'm going to pat Roger on the shoulder and be like good job champ.
Wait is there like a gate shack or like a guard or something that's like incapacitated?
(53:15):
Oh you know it.
Yeah 100%.
He's not incapacitated he's just sitting there like normal day job.
He's like watching like Jerry Springer.
Couch coin.
Oh wait.
Certifiable underscore nerd just redeemed couch coin.
Roger for the proper application of rocket launches.
When all you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.
When all you have is a rocket launcher.
(53:40):
That puts you up to three Roger.
Remember that.
There's absolutely a guard shack.
Sitting in that guard shack is an overweight guard with a huge beard and he's watching Jerry Springer on a TV laughing, eating something out of a bowl.
He ain't paying a lick of fucking attention.
All right well I'm just going to walk into that gate shack and I'm going to take.
(54:06):
Hello.
Hey what's up man take his hat slap him a few times.
He like spills his cereal.
Why?
Why?
Why have you done this?
You should do your job better.
Here's some candy.
Idiot.
Roger is reflecting.
(54:32):
I mean Connor is reflecting.
All right.
And as we walk past the boat like I'm going to dip in for just a moment as we're leaving and just tap the guard on the head and be like dream of horrors and just tap him with chaotic world just in their own head.
He's like.
He has visions.
He starts screaming.
(54:54):
You know the visions he has and he has visions he loves cookies and he starts dreaming about cookies and the cookies can walk and he's really happy.
I told you I took his hat.
And then all of the cookies grow fangs and whip out knives and start chasing him and he's like.
Cookie kids. Cookie wife. Cookie kids. Cookie kids. No cookie wife. No. Cookie wife. Not cookie wife.
(55:22):
Cookie wife.
You guys haven't watched final space.
Are you trying to do peppermint Larry or something from planet earth?
No.
Not cookie wife.
No.
See the head. The only thing that will save him is the head of the lardons.
Okay. What do you do Roger? You got a hat now. Did you take his hat?
(55:46):
Yeah. Yeah. I took his hat after I slapped him around a little bit.
Nice.
Yeah now my regular jagov disguise is complete.
You look down and you see there's a button that says open gate right here in the guard chat.
(56:07):
And he's still there?
Yeah but he's having nightmares about cookies.
Okay I'm going to grab his head and slam it on the button.
He's like oh no cookie wife.
And then gate opens.
You guys, here's the important thing.
(56:28):
You guys step into the gate.
When you step inside you can see there's no muck here.
But there are tentacles coming from the ocean that have snapped up the bus.
And the bus is still being riled around like crazy and your friends are screaming on the inside.
You know on the inside Bob Zombie is just holding this mandroid lubricant.
(56:51):
He doesn't know what to do with it.
He's scared. He doesn't know what to do.
Bob's just holding it. He's like I've been saving this for some good time man.
It's going to be good man.
And Crux is like can I drink it?
He's like no don't drink the lubricant. He's ready.
But as you guys step into the inside of this gate you hear the squeaking of a bat.
(57:14):
Eee eee eee eee.
And Anonka lands behind, or Eon lands beside you.
Eon has returned.
In front of you guys is a way to save the city.
You must get inside. You must play one final song to put this tentacle, Cthulhu monster to its final rest.
(57:38):
But first there's a base you must get through.
And you must save your friends.
Next time on Metal Omnicon.
There it is.
There it is.
Whapapapadadadadada.
How many tickles does it take to make Octopus laugh?
(58:01):
Ten tickles.
Ten tickles.
