(00:00):
Welcome back to the Tall Tale Tavern, the monthly one Shot
adventure TTRPG podcast. I am your Tavern master and host
Kyle, and we are back for Chapter 9 of Expedition Untold
and the continuation of Hugh's story.
Joining me at the bar tonight. She's recently become super busy
in the game of life and did not make a super interesting intro,

(00:21):
but she's currently interested in attending conventions and
Renaissance festivals while on cosplay.
Ballistic Kitty. Welcome back, Ballistic Kitty.
Good to be back. Yes.
And you should come to Gen. Con, as should everybody who's
listening to this because some of us, a lot of us will be
there. So you should come and.
We'll try as well. Our next guest is a technology

(00:43):
lawyer, cyberpunk enthusiast, and part time DM who puts AI to
work every single day doing way more boring stuff than you're
about to hear on this podcast. Welcome back, Mav.
Glad to be here, thanks for having me.
Going also here going roll for roll with the Croat goat while
recovering from post holiday bloat.

(01:04):
It's Landy playing lad the cleric.
Welcome back Landy. So.
Gross. Thank you for having.
Me, I feel so betrayed. It's all love.
It's all love. It's good thing I like you.
And lastly, everyone can see we're together as we drive on by

(01:26):
eye when we rock our jackets of leather we look super fly eye
all the people around us they ask or bend seats his skin.
Just let me state for the record, we try not to think
about it when we slide on in andwe are family.

(01:51):
He was got some new family. We are family.
Shoot up, surgeon shoot up and search happily.
Becca. Welcome back, Becca.
Did you save me for last becauseyou were kind of scared of the
song? Yes, I was scared of the song.
I don't know. You did great this.

(02:13):
Reverses very well. Lost the melody there for a bit
but we got it back. Somewhat.
You got it. It was perfect.
Thank you. Well, welcome back everyone.
It's glad to get the family backtogether, as Ben would say.
Ben is here too. I guess it's weird that I'm
playing ANPC. That's like a player character
with you guys. But anyways, let's reopen that

(02:35):
book. Turn to Chapter 9 and continue
the story of Expedition Untold. Roll the intro.

(03:10):
Previously, on Expedition Untold, I did drugs.
Wait, wait, let me back up. So yesterday I stepped out of
another red ooze portal and I found myself alone in crowning
AI achievement. If you've read that book, it's
really good. It's about four friends who
saved the world from a corruptedAI.
Or at least it used to be just like it in the other books.

(03:32):
The Red Ooze has messed this story up too.
Viper, Vlad, Ben, and Paulo toldme that they actually failed at
their mission and Dasher exploded.
The AI has taken over New Lisboncity completely.
We're now on our way to New Lisbon to meet up with a group
of resistance fighters that include Paulo's boys and Viper's
sister. I guess Ben's right.

(03:53):
It's all about family. I hope mine's OK now.
Maybe it's best to not think about that right now.
On our way to New Lisbon, we traveled through the old subway
system. We knew to expect the tunnels to
be filled with mutant animals and beasts, but we're surprised
when we were actually attacked by really big humanoid looking
ones. Something definitely has
changed. Now we're sneaking away across a

(04:14):
huge, heavily patrolled bridge to get to the city.
We just knocked out the drone patrols and we need to rest of
it. Alo kind of got whomped in that
fight. Don't tell him I said that
though. I think that's pretty much
everything. I guess.
Time to get back at it. As Viper hacks into the first

(04:35):
guard tower, it deactivates along with the mechanical sentry
guards manning the outpost. Along the bridge, you can see
the next two guard towers and the massive artilleries
associated with them all deactivate.
Paulo, during the fight you injected yourself with grind and
need to make a Constitution saving throw to avoid becoming
addicted. Let's see.

(04:58):
Let's see if he's got the Iron Stomach 14 plus it's my save for
Khan is +3 for a 17 which beats the DC of 16.
Excellent. It's.
My boy. But does does it's Paulo shake

(05:20):
for a second? Is that what I imagine him just
shaking in place for a second ashe tries this?
You know, gulp back the the urge, the the addiction and is
able to get past it. You know, for the, the several
weeks of time between the, the collapse of New Lisbon City, the
complete overtake by the AIS Lisbon City going dark in their

(05:42):
escape to to their nearby refuge.
Paulo had a lot of time away from the drugs and was able to
kind of, you know, get back to level.
And so he's built up a little bit of resistance.
He's built up a little, you know, ability to resist the pull
of, of the the drug in no small part because of Ladd's

(06:02):
ministrations. So he feels the tug.
He feels the hook, like sees him, his eyes go wide.
His muscles, you know, clench and he's able to, like, slowly
unclench his teeth and let it kind of wash over him.
Well you all gather together andclimb into bend biofuel into

(06:23):
this electric Hummer that is been that he had casted
camouflage vehicle on and so is invisible and you all pile into
it knowing that you should probably move quickly to get
across this bridge while the guard towers are down.
As you drive carefully on you see the next two guard towers
and associated AI sentries and Gatlin guns deactivated.

(06:47):
You pass the third guard tower and see the final stretch of
bridge before the city. You see the massive cityscape
looming ahead with skyscrapers taller than you can imagine.
The cityscape is dark and smoke filled and ominous.
Ben slows down and stops at the end of the bridge about 1/4 mile

(07:08):
away. You see massive artillery,
machine guns, laser cannons, andtowers all pointed to defend any
invaders into the city and are all active.
You see movements of sentries all around it.
Beyond the artillery, you see a tunnel which leads into the
city. Ben's voice comes on over the

(07:29):
radio. All right, this is it, Mouse had
said. We just got to drive forward,
and once he sees us and we get close enough, he'll activate the
EMP, shutting down the artillery.
That means I got to go, and thatmeans I got to drop my

(07:50):
invisibility and go. I think speed is the way
forward, man. If we kind of if they can see
us, the best defense we have to get to the point where his EMP
is going to work is that we get there fast.
I still have my surge and he jiggles his his drive stick with

(08:14):
the button on top the green button.
Man, I don't know what part of that is, of you that is, but I'm
not you. Just you do it when you feel
comfortable, man. I'm not going to touch that.
Just don't worry about it. But OK, if if shit hits the fan,
one of you press that button andmaybe we can make it through.

(08:34):
If this goes sideways and we getobliterated by those guns, I
want you all to know that no matter where we end up, if it's
a quarter mile away, halfway across the world, or in another
life, you'll always be my brothers and sisters.
I live my life 1/4 mile at a time and if this is my final

(08:57):
stretch, at least I didn't turn my back on those people inside
that city. Powell pounds on the dashboard
like. Ben Revs his engine and takes
off with a lurch, deactivating his camouflage.

(09:18):
He drives forward fast, and you see the massive artillery take
notice, guns all turning toward him.
Four massive machine guns start firing, and Ben is going to have
to make some dexterity saving throws.
Paulo, you're in the front seat.You can you you can help him
with this. So you can roll as well as you
have the steering wheel as you see these massive machine guns

(09:38):
start to fire. Yeah, go ahead and roll the
first deck save as well, Paulo. I got an 8.
Luckily, Ben succeeded. The first machine gun starts
firing. It hits Ben a little bit, but

(09:58):
he's able to swerve and go sideways a little bit on the
bridge and kind of do a little bit of a drift and keep going.
He's still going to take half damage from this.
As as the as the bullets like rattle through the the car
through the off of Ben's body, Paolo like as he's like pulling

(10:20):
the wheel into this drift to help Ben make it around the
corner. Paolo yells over his shoulder
and lad is going to be importantto keep him up.
Maybe do some you know on the fly mechanic work?
Yeah, I was. Going to ask.
It would this drive from our last point until now be enough

(10:41):
time for me to cast a prayer of healing, which would be a 10
minute period basically. Yeah, I'll let you do that.
Yeah, as you guys were driving forward, you were going fairly
cautiously. It's a pretty big bridge.
So yeah, go ahead and OK, cool. So that's going to be 3D eight
for everyone in the car. Cool.
That sounds amazing. We need that.
I'm going to go ahead and roll that real quick.

(11:06):
Oh, pretty good. 17 hit points for everyone.
Nice. Very nice.
And that was before the this part, so Ben's still going to
take he takes 13 points of piercing damage as the Hummer
he. Still had three temp HP from the
the dumpling. Thank you.

(11:29):
OK, good. And then lad, do you have
guidance that you could give himto like help with the saves?
I do have guidance. I'm going to rub.
I guess I'm not in the front so I'm going to rub my seat.
Maybe find that weird mole cast guidance.

(11:50):
Viper, you're also on radio duty.
You need to find a radio stationthat's playing Motley Crue's
Kickstart My Heart. Oh OK, before I look into
something for that, I have a spell I would like to use if we
have to go through another roundof bullets.

(12:12):
It's called Spectral Barricade and we want me to read out the.
Description. Yeah, sure.
What does it do? A glowing barricade that can
deflect projectiles appears at apoint within range.
The barricade appears in any orientation you choose,
horizontally, vertically, or orthogonally.
The barricade can be up to 20 feet long, 3 feet high, and one

(12:33):
inch thick. So the barricade does not block
line of sight and creatures and objects can pass through it.
The barricade can be used as an obstacle to provide half cover
when a creature is within 5 feetof barricade.
The barricade does not provide cover to targets on the opposite
side of the barricade. Essentially I could put up like
a super temporary shield of sorts for us to pass through

(12:56):
that just like blocks out maybe some projectiles because it's
called half cover. So it gives you it, it gives.
If you're behind it, you get half cover.
Yes, it says it can deflect projectiles, so I guess.
Yeah, it depends on if it's veryAC enough.
Yeah, there's not a whole lot ofinformation it gives on that

(13:18):
though. As I say, 'cause it's, it's a,
we're, we're like mixing mechanics here because these are
saving throws, but it's also like half cover would be an AC
boost. Right, yeah, I want to see the
spell, but I have that means I have to find the.
But Viper? Viper would have to set it ahead
of us. Like in between, in between?

(13:39):
Eyes and the next, yeah. It's I have a 30 foot range so I
could put it like 30 feet ahead of us and like, and it said you
just. Put it on his hood.
Well, it doesn't. I don't think it moves with us
though. If you attach to something, you
know Ben is a car right now. So how far away is it called
Spectral? Barricade.

(14:02):
Could you theoretically put it like in front of the gun?
Well, I think it's said that if it's 30.
Feet. Of something else then it it
does not. Doesn't work, yeah.
OK. Yeah.
So you, so you you can cast this, it's going to have an
effect if you'd like. OK.
I would love to do that. Yeah, OK, cool.

(14:23):
So you cast a sectral barricade out in front of the vehicle as
you got as Ben swerves and takesabout half damage from some of
those bullets. The machine guns are still
firing and you cast that out in front of him this barricade.
And so the what this is going todo is he's going to be able to
take either half damage or zero damage from this next saving
throw. So another deck saving throw as

(14:45):
a machine gun rips into the shield and let's see if he can
swerve in into the shield to kind of go through it, this
spectral barricade to provide that cover.
So Paolo, give me another deck save to help.
I got a 10. I'm not rolling terribly well
for Ben here. Shoot, so Ben swerves and he and

(15:08):
he tries to get through that barricade, but he gets like he
like clips through half of it and so the the damage from the
machine gun hits the barricade and hits him as well.
So he's going to still take halfdamage even though he failed,
even though we both failed that one.
And you do have guidance, I don't know if that matters or
not, if you were close enough. Yeah, even with guidance, it
wasn't enough. Cool.

(15:30):
Calling inaudible here on the D20 I'm using.
He takes 15 points of damage from that one as it rips into
the back end of the Hummer. How's he looking?
How can I? He's looking, he's a big Hummer
right now and it's like he's getting pelted with bullets, but
it's doesn't seem concerning much at all right now.

(15:55):
How far are we from the attacking?
Pretty far, yeah. You were a quarter mile when we
started and so they're pretty long range, yeah.
They have these. They have these zones pre
bracketed. Next saving throw as Ben
continues forward and and there's two machine guns left

(16:15):
that are going to fire on him, so we'll make another deck save.
Let's. Go dirty. 20 Nat 20.
Let's go, let's go. And so let's see the spectral
barricade. I think that was a one time spot
like you can't probably change. We would have left it behind.

(16:35):
Yeah, we. Would have left it behind so he
does still surges forward and does take half damage as it kind
of some of the bullets hit the front of his of that Hummer.
I can cast it again. If you want to.
I was like, no man, I got this one and he and he slaps the
surge thing like for the next for this last stretch.

(16:56):
He's like, this is when Ben wants to go really fast.
And he takes 14 points of damagefrom that one.
And then for this final one, youhit the surge, he boosts forward
and flies forward. The machine gun is going to try
and hit him, but again, he's going to be able to take either
no damage or half damage from this if he based on the saving

(17:20):
throw. So go ahead and and give us give
me another deck saving throw. I'm.
Going to give that guidance again. 17.
With that guidance, it takes it over the DC of 18 on that and

(17:40):
and as Ben surges forward the the bullets almost hit him and
then then lad, you just tickle that mole and he just gets an
extra shirt jolt and and moves forward and and and out of the
range of the machine guns and Ben.
Continues This isn't a mole. Ben continues driving forward

(18:04):
very fast, and as he's going yousee these two massive rail guns
at the end of the bridge turn and aim your way and they start
to hum with energy and glow withlight.
Tentacled sentries with red eyesswarm at the entrance of the
bridge, like 40 of them. The rail guns lock their laser
on to Ben, and a shockwave reverberates from the center of

(18:27):
the artillery. An EMP goes off, and the rail
guns, machine guns, and sentriesall deactivate.
The centuries fall to the ground.
The centuries do. They're this humanoid figures
kind of walking with big tentacles around them.
All just fall down. And Ben surges through this,
this end of this bridge, and he drives forward toward the

(18:50):
tunnel. When in the street up ahead,
just before the entrance of the tunnel, a hole blasts open in a
burst of steam. A massive fleshy arm reaches out
of the hole with a large body tofollow a mutant form like what
you had seen before. But this mutant is massive in
size, blocking the entrance to the tunnel.

(19:11):
It rises up a green monstrosity that stands on two legs, has
five arms, a few attached to theelbows of the others, 3 heads on
top of its body, but other facespushing out of its mutated body
where bone and flesh seem I'll combined.
You are 100 feet away driving fast.
Everything is deactivated at themoment.
Everyone roll initiative it is. Ready for that four?

(19:37):
Let's see. Let's roll a Nat 20.
Sick. What's the?
For a for a 24 initiative. OK.
It's not a four, it's a. It's a 19.
Hey. See.
Let's go. 19 for Viper good. Yeah, Viper with an excellent

(20:00):
initiative role I got. To figure out what.
That terrible initiative role with an 8 lad.
No, I had a terrible initiative role with a four hey.
You got my. Four and I played with that guy.
She made me use a real time. Well don't worry, I did bad too
with A7. OK.

(20:22):
Oh no. OK, you see this massive hulking
form blocking the tunnel where you're supposed to drive
through. You're supposed to drive through
this tunnel and on the other side, Mouse will be there with
the resistance to collect you, to bring you into their secret
area. You are in Bend Biofuel driving
forward. You're 100 feet away, Paulo, it

(20:44):
is your. It is your turn first.
So I have my mil spec micro SMG is kind of designed to be a
close quarters weapon. So the range on it like my Max
range is 160 but I believe I fire at disadvantage at at that

(21:07):
range. Like past 40 up to 160 I'm at
disadvantage. Well, let me ask this is this
monstrosity completely covering the tunnel or do we think we
could? Tokyo Drift?
Past it right now it doesn't look like you could like just
drive like around it or under it's legs like it's right in

(21:27):
front of it at Yeah, at the mostyou don't.
You don't know if you could get through if you tried.
You know, with how it's standingjust right in front of this
entrance of the tunnel. OK, so he readies his SMG and
kind of lowers the window to lean out and and start firing.
And so as as Paulo's leading, leaning out the the window, he's

(21:50):
got a, a bandana around his neckand he pulls it up over his nose
to kind of half cover his face and then presses the, the micro
SMG like right next to his cheek.
And he's going to use like he's going to feel that that grind
surging through his blood. And he can use the because of

(22:10):
his drug use, he can, he can gain advantage on one attack, a
strength based attack. And because he has a smart gun
system in his arms, it allows him to use his strength modifier
instead of his dex modifier for attacks.
So he's going to negate the disadvantage on this attack role
even though he's firing from a football field away.

(22:31):
So 1018. And eighteen hits.
Let's go. All right, Seven.
That's 13 piercing damage. You see you, you fire SMG out
and it just starts pelting into this massive form.
Anything else for your for your turn?
I attacked twice. I want to go again, but I think

(22:54):
I don't get I don't get advantage on this one, I
imagine. OK.
Does it 14? Does it 14 hit?
No. OK, yeah, so that he misses his
second shot. OK, misses the second the the
bullets kind of go wide. Anything else for your?
Turn No. That's it.

(23:14):
OK, you see it is this mutated forms turn and you see the
bullets hit it and it starts to heal up around those turn around
those bullets and fills up for almost all of the bullet damage
that it just took. I don't like that at all.

(23:37):
And it is going to at this pointready an attack as it sees you
as the only threat in the area racing forward the this this
vehicle that has just shot at it.
Viper, you're up. Well, I only have really one

(23:59):
thing I can use that is within range.
And you could hold, you could hold it if, if you've got other
actions, you could, you could use when we get within range,
you could hold it until we get within range.
Question DM Within a turn, how far can Ben biofuel move us
toward the creature? We're 100 feet away now, but

(24:20):
after like a full turn. So Ben's, Ben's going to be
Ben's up next with his initiative and his movement
speed is pretty wild as this car.
His movement speed is 120 feet and he can dash.
That's not dashing. Yeah, it's not dashing.

(24:40):
Holy shit, 120 feet. So.
So yeah, he is moving very fast at this point.
Oh man, maybe I should have rolled A4.
I didn't have more time to think.
You can. Also You can.
I will allow you to ready a spell if you want to ready a
spell as you get closer. Gotcha gotcha.

(25:06):
Why can I not see where my my dice are for my lightning?
My elemental emitter? I'm not seeing where I wrote
what it was. Which what tier is it?
Is it tier one or Tier 2? For the elemental emitter it
would be Tier 2. OK, so it's damage is 66, saving

(25:29):
throw is DC is 16. So what was the hit Die again,
you said? So it's it's it's ADC, it's a
saving throw. So he's got to make ADC 16 deck
save or take full 66 damage. And if he makes the save, it's
half. Interesting.

(25:51):
OK, I feel like I'm going to want to hold my action then for
decompose. OK, cool.
What does? It seems like it's going to be
more damage. Is that a touch spell?
It is a touch spell, Yeah. So once we get closer, because
we're a little too far right now, once we get closer, I'll
use it. OK.

(26:12):
You got to lean out the window and slap this thing.
I'm going to take my orblet and I'm going to Chuck it at him.
Oh, I like that. I like that.
Oh. Nice, it's only got 1 HP left so
it's it's just going to do what it can.
Good I'll get us close and Ben and Ben surges forward and he
drives and he's going to drive all the way up to to this

(26:36):
massive form he's going to get in went within range of it.
So it's going to be able to use it's held action and you can see
as he enters into the area, the this massive monster with these
arms coming off of appendages and around just swirls.
It's like 5 arms around in a circle and he's going to have to
make a Dexterity saving throw. Am I aiding in this or not?

(27:00):
You can aid with it, yeah. OK.
Oh, he's going to eat it. I can.
I got a nine. I got a nine two.
Damn. Even with guidance, it's not
going to help, so he takes the full brunt of this.
As he gets he skids up right in front of this massive beast.
All of the arms slash into him and he takes takes 32 points of

(27:26):
slashing. Damage Ben Buddy.
So as that slashing damage hits Ben, he's looking about half as
good. You know he's looking oily
instead of bloodied, I guess from because he's a car.
But now we're right next to thisthis massive beast.

(27:47):
So Viper, you can use your action to to hit it.
OK, I'm going to check my orbletat it so that it touches the
creature. I'm going to cast decompose at
third level, so that's going to be 5D8 necrotic.

(28:09):
I got to make a melee spell attack first.
On a hit, the target takes 48. Well, it's 25 to 8 in this case.
So yeah, I just got to actually hit.
Cool. Yikes.
You can do it. Don't miss Viper spell.
Tech. OK, I think I miss.
It's going to be an 8, yeah. Well, what's your?

(28:31):
What's your modifier? So I rolled A2.
Yeah, and that's what it is. With all of the arms like flying
around on this piece, you try tofind purchase on one of the arms
on a leg on something. You reach out desperately from
Ben and whiff and unable to to to touch this massive form.

(28:55):
It is Ben's turn and Ben you seea Gatlin gun come up from the
back of Ben and he's going to start firing at it.
This will be a disadvantage because it is a ranged attack.
And he just misses. It's like the gallon gun almost

(29:17):
looks like it's gonna hit like the shoulder and this the part
of one of its three heads. And then it just fires up and
out and misses. This, this, this beast.
He is going to. Yeah.
The rest of his movement speed, he's got 20 feet of movement
speed. He's going to try to see if he
can get around this thing to getthrough into the tunnel and just

(29:39):
can't. And that is his turn.
Hugh, you're up. OK so I'm going to 1st summon my
echo. So a big, well I guess it's a
hologram in this world isn't it?A big hologram starts forming

(30:03):
and we see a GIF very elegantly dressed and Agathus is standing
in front of us next to next to Hugh.
Good. What had Agatha?
Oh, he had his cool badass gun, OK.
He's polishing his gun. He's polishing his oh, what was
the name of his gun? His cool hippo gun?

(30:25):
I don't know, but he's. Poetic.
You see this? Yeah, this hologram just like
polishing it off with the with the with a handkerchief and then
looks and and sees this massive form.
And we're like all we're at the base of it, right?
Yes. OK, so Agathus and Hugh are

(30:46):
going to take the equivalent of three attacks, so 2 from Hugh
and then one from Agathus. So no, but I think all of these
are going to hit. It was a 23, a 27 and a 24.
Yeah, those, all three of those will.
Hit. Do those hit actually?

(31:06):
All three. All three will hit.
OK, that's crazy. I had no idea that those would.
I had no idea. That's a minimum of 20.
Dollars above a 20 on everythingso.
You know. Oh, and I rolled baller damage
too. So 44 damage bludgeoning damage.

(31:28):
Sick. Yeah.
You take Bone Crusher and just Wham into this massive form,
smashing it. And it's like you, you're like
breaking bone, you know, and andand hitting this, this flash
that bruises up quickly. This whole being is just
horribly made. And then Agathus takes out this
is all bludgeoning damage. He gets up close and and fires

(31:51):
his gun into it, doing bludgeoning damage with the gun.
But it that's the flavor that you that he does with his attack
and hits one of the like faces that seems like it's like trying
to get out of this massive fleshy body and just like hits
one of the faces in in its chestup above anything else for your

(32:12):
turn. Yeah.
What's Action Surge? I feel I'm feeling feisty.
I haven't used mine. I used the drugs, but I have not
used my action surge. I'll probably regret that when
we get up against the AI, but it's fine.
So we're going to do three more attacks.
Excellent. Powell's like Powell like,

(32:32):
whoops and like, slaps the top of the car like.
Like 1920 and 26 to hit. All hit.
Damn, just for the record, his gun is called Chain Breaker.
I was going to say it's something to deal with the
chain. I couldn't remember what it was

(32:53):
though. His grandfather's gun.
Another 36 damage. Jesus.
And then he's done. Wham Wham, you hit this thing
and it is looking pretty decrepit compared to what it did
look like in the beginning. It is still standing, still

(33:15):
massive, and so when I say it looks more decrepit, it looks
about half as good as it did. Anything else for your turn?
No, that's all I can do. OK lad, you're up.
So Lad is going to grab his Talisman around his neck and
just hear like these crazy bell tolling sounds come out of it

(33:36):
and I'm going to use Toll the Dead to try to finish him off
and that's going to be a Wisdom 16 saving throw.
He does look, he took a lot of damage and he's still like
pretty well together, but he's not, he's not looking terrible.
But that's yeah, if I was no. Same thing.
So we're going to do it, OK. Gotcha.

(33:56):
Did you say wisdoms? Like what, 70 damage to bloody?
Fails 14? Hell yeah.
So it's going to be 2D. 12 damage, which is going to be 16
damage. Nice.

(34:17):
And with my bonus action, I am going to compel duel against
him. Which you attempt to compel a
creature into a duel. One creature that you can see
within range must make a Wisdom saving through.
On a failed save, the creature is drawn to you, compelled by

(34:38):
your demand for the duration. It has disadvantage on attack
rolls against creatures other than you and must make a Wisdom
saving through each time it attempts to move to a space that
is more than 30 feet away from me.
Natural 1 So come at me bro. Damn lad taking on the behemoth.

(34:59):
You do toll of the of the toll of the dead and you can see it
grabbing its heads as it's as it's hearing this dolorous tone
in its head. And then it looks to you and you
and it points out one of its arms that has another arm that
comes off of it, and both pointer fingers just point at
you. And I do the the Morpheus from
the matrix like come here. Great.

(35:24):
And we are at the top of the initiative.
Paulo, it is your turn. So we're, we're, we're, we're
within melee range. Yep, yes.
And but I think if I attack thisthing, I essentially negate
lads. If I do damage I negate lads
Compel duel. I don't think so.

(35:44):
I thinks is that. I'm pretty sure that's how the
smell works is if if he's damaged by any other any other
creature it ends you smell of. Creature.
Oh yeah, you're right. You could you could hold an
action. I know that that.
That's exactly what I'm going todo.
I'm going to hold an action and he's going to, as he sees the

(36:07):
the monster, hone in on lad and and knowing that the monster may
may yet choose to attack Ben, he's going to sight his SMG over
the hood. And because he's so close, he's
already firing a disadvantage. He's going to slide the selector
on the side from single fire to automatic.
And so instead of two attacks, when I hold this action, I'm

(36:29):
going to do 3. They'll all be a disadvantage,
but. I think when you when you when
you hold an action, you can do one attack, not a mole, OK.
Well, I would, yeah. I would get to do 2 then.
So. So automatic means you can fire
twice but it's a disadvantage like every attack is is you you
get to fire twice as opposed to it being like you get 2 attacks

(36:50):
because you're a fighter at a certain level.
Automatic is is like every attack you get to roll twice and
then it like it it double S yourattack.
So he's going to hold an attack action, but he's also going to
use his bonus action to Second Wind to get some HP back.

(37:11):
Cool, what's his trigger for when he's going to pull the
trigger? When he sees it start to swing,
OK, cool. So like when it when it starts
to attack, that's when he's going to fire.
OK, cool. Yeah.
Anything else for your turn? Well, I'm going to do my second
wind here, gain some health back.

(37:35):
Oh, I rolled really well. I get 15 points of health back.
Rolled an 8. Yeah, and that'll be that'll end
my turn. You see the massive form, Hugh,
you see a spot where you just slammed your Bone Crusher into
one of its bones just like reform as it heals back a little
bit of damage and it looks towards LAD and goes to swing

(38:00):
its arms and do its multi attackon LAD.
And so as it's doing that, Paulo, you can go ahead and do
your do your attack and he'll still have to do his bold multi
attack on lad. All right, let's see an 18 to
hit. 18 will hit. OK on 2nd is that's an 11 to

(38:27):
hit. Second, will not hit.
All right, so he's gonna do for 10 piercing damage.
OK, you you fire into him into the spot where he just healed up
and break that bone again with your bullets and the this formed

(38:51):
grabs onto the front of the hoodof of Ben Biofuel and almost
like crawls over it to get to lad and it's going to do a claw
attack. First one is 24 to hit that does
hit. You'll take 19 points of
slashing damage from that. Second attack with another claw.

(39:13):
Natural 1 is going to miss. Third claw attack is a 27 to
hit. Jesus, that hits.
And that's 17 points of slashingdamage and then a fourth arm
switch swings over and slashes at you lad for a 29 to hit.

(39:33):
Holy shit, yeah. For 16 points of slashing
damage. What is the mod fire on his?
Attacks and finally one of the heads reaches forward to bite at
you for a 24 to hit. Glad is down.
No. Yeah, it hits you for eight

(39:54):
points of piercing damage plus five points of poison damage.
I can't be poisoned, Buckley. He's.
Actually, that's a. That's a hold on.
I actually have immune system booster which as a reaction I

(40:15):
can flush my system, negating the poison damage and gaining an
equal amount of temporary hit points.
So it's going to be up to your discretion, I guess, as to
whether I'm dead or. Not well, I'm attacked so.
So it did eight points first of piercing damage.
What were you at? I was at shoot, I already hit

(40:37):
the button. I was at three hit points.
So that's. Good of gone down.
So that that would have. Yeah, that would have knocked me
down prior to me getting the poison, yeah.
Yes, yeah, OK. That regardless if even if the
poison hit first, you'd still betaking that eight points of
piercing damage. Yeah.
And so this figure is basically on top of Ben now has slashed 4

(41:01):
times into LAD and then bit down.
LAD is down, Viper, you're up. Oh well.
As the, as the as that. As this figure crawls over, you
start to hear some noise of the energy coming back into the

(41:24):
area. You know, you start to hear some
mechanical noises, the EMP effect slowly starting to wear
off. No movement yet.
OK. What do you got, Viper?
Think I have a way to finish it?If any of you have healing, do

(41:44):
you do you have a potion or anything?
I don't have any. I gave my to namby what are.
Potions. I have a power bar.
I have AI have a dumpling in my pocket.
I don't know if that'll. So.
Paolo has two Med serums that hecan inject LAD with, but he's

(42:05):
gotta live long enough to get around to set Paolo's.
I can. Viper just take one and do it.
Can anyone use those or does it have to?
Be yeah, there's no specialized use.
You just jab it into their leg and it's.
Can you just grab 1 and jab him?Yeah, I'm if Paulo, you guys are
right next to each other. Yeah, quickly if Paulo, you
wanna, you know, hand that off to her and that would be a is

(42:27):
that a bonus? That would be a potion, right,
Bonus action potion. Yeah, it's.
Let me get you the. It wouldn't be your actions
Viper, so you'd still get to do an action it it would just be if
he didn't wouldn't have using your bonus action.
No, that sounds great. Yeah.
Who has Surge left? I don't think anyone.
I think we used all of them did.Everyone use it OK.

(42:48):
The so I have AI have two tier one Med serums and they do 2 D 4
+ 2 healing. So yeah, cool, put push and
appealing so that that's a that'd be a bonus action to use
that. So you could use your bonus
action to. Why?
Do that. Item interaction.
Grab that, grab that serum from him and jab it into LAD.

(43:13):
Like an EpiPen style. Yeah, it literally is.
Make sure as lad. Regains as Lad regains
consciousness. He regains consciousness to
Paolo yelling he's not addictive, man.
It's not addictive. So lad, you are back up as as
Viper has given you the EpiPen of of healing in this world and

(43:37):
you come back to life with how much healing, how much tip
points. Duty 4 plus. 2:00 Go ahead and
roll that Viper. How alive is Lad?
The answer is barely, regardless. 7 + 2 nine beat.
Your dumpling. Oh.
Yeah, that's a pretty good. 9 isa pretty good two D 4 + 2.

(44:01):
That's pretty great. You still have an action Viper.
OK, I would let you try again with the decompose at third
level. Say don't hold back.
That's a not one. You 2.

(44:23):
No one. No one, Yeah.
You get you get distracted by bringing your friend back to
life and then with the last final second of your six second
turn in this in an action economy, you try to grab out and
hit the the the massive form andmiss.
Let's say my orblet, since it's only at one HP, it's just like

(44:46):
having a time. It's like kind of just sparking
a little bit. It it can't.
It's seen double. I don't.
Know are you? Is your orblet casting this for
you? Is that what this?
Is the second attempt that it was trying to.
OK, so orbital. It was trying winging right back
and it's. Just it's just flying around
and. Just it's in its mind, yes,
it's. Like I got this wiper that just

(45:08):
mixes. Don't get this.
OK. And.
It was just a side. Just a side note so the
listeners don't think I'm an idiot.
I have a 21 AC so I was hoping not to be hit.
This monster must have like a + a bajillion to hit.
Or 11 to hit like it's he he rolled a 29 that wasn't a crit

(45:31):
so do that it. Almost has to be a 10 like.
I think this monster was based on Becca.
It's step lock actually. Hey.
Yeah, really. Yes, it's.
The evil. That's interesting.
Based on what matters perfectly.It is Ben's turn.
His Gatlin gun tries to fire upon this massive beast and hits

(45:57):
fires. You see a lot of bullets just
just rattle into into this form into the chest of this
disgusting beast. And he the beast's only going to
take nine points of piercing damage from that.
And that is Ben's turn still having trouble trying to get
around him, trying to search, you know, try to go out the

(46:20):
other way, trick him and he's just not able to get past the
the troll into the tunnel. Hugh, you're up.
How tall is this creature? 15 feet.
OK, so now that I'm levelled up,I can move my Echo up to 1000
feet away. So what I'm going to do is

(46:40):
actually move him 200 feet. No wait, he's 15 feet, so 215
feet above this monster. And then I'm going to switch
places with using my bonus action.
So now I'm 200 feet 15 feet above and I'm going to fall down
and I'm going to use my hydraulic legs feature so that

(47:03):
I'll take no fall damage and I'mgoing to make a leg attack
against the creature and if I hit it'll take 20D6 plus MY1D8
damage from my leg come. On wait hold on I have a
question before you roll this ifyou crit on a leg attack from
fall damage does that mean you roll double 40?

(47:25):
D 640-4040. I'm sending you all the good
energy. Get that 20.
My heart is racing right now. I got one on this or if I just
like get a like A10 I'm going tocry.
Never mind it actually happened.I got no.

(47:45):
It wasn't. No, take a picture.
I'm not. Going to touch it.
No, no, no. No, I've never seen anyone roll
40D6 before. Not.
I'm texting it right now. I did not touch it.
Holy. Crap, I don't even know what app

(48:06):
to open. What app in my in no.
Becca, I have no words. I have.
I have no words. Because anyone ever rolled 40D6
before? If you have a dice rolling I
will text it to you in a second.I'm so flustered.
I have a dice rolling app open just in case I hit, but I only

(48:26):
had 20D6 loaded. All right, hold on.
Undoable. This is what we needed I.
Only had 20D6 loaded. OK.
So that's weird that it's weird.It looks like fully healed now,
and it's so yeah, it's so. Strange.
OK. Don't.
Don't forget the two DA damage. OK, I'm gonna actually roll the

(48:48):
2D8 myself 'cause I miss real dice, and then I'm gonna make
you guys guess. Oh my God.
So absurd. 120. Do you have 40D6 Becca?
Do you think you have 40D6 real easily?
I think the easily. Yeah, 'cause I have a a set of
like or a box of just D sixes from when I played like a level

(49:09):
15 rogue. So yeah, I do have that many.
I should have gotten them. That would be so satisfying.
OK, what is the? Yeah, 240 would be the average.
Half of 240 would be 120 plus my.
Strange modifier. I I'm gonna guess it's.
Gonna be 150 plus. I was gonna say 147.

(49:34):
That's my guess. You said what lad?
I'm gonna say over 1. 50 / 150 OK, I'm low balling it.
That's only halfway. 120. Minus the 2D8.
It's gonna be low, Mr. DM. That'll be 157 bludgeoning
damage. God.

(49:54):
Damn. It had a maximum of 172.
Wow. She.
Saw her book club member glad godown.
Yeah, I was like, no, not another book club buddy.
No more. You, you send Agathus up in the

(50:17):
air 215 feet into the into the the clouds above.
And then you switch places with him and you switch places with
him as he is like rising up a little bit still.
So you still have this moment ofweightlessness as you go through
the clouds, the smog area and Crest through and see this
beautiful blue sky above. And you look out for a second,

(50:41):
you see an area where the smog is cleared above the city where
you're going. And then you quickly start to
descend downward and you descenddownward through the smog back
into the world, straight down like a Superman superhero move,
slam your legs into this massivemutated form.
And it only had 63 points of of of health left.

(51:03):
So the remainder of that damage just goes into the street below
and just a shockwave emits and you, you, you land in that spot
and then stand up triumphantly, taking none of that damage
yourself. Just coated and monster goo and
I look at my new friends. Yes.
OK. Should we get going or?

(51:24):
You see, you see out of the holethat the monster came from, you
see some more mutated forms running out of this, these
humanoid forms, some with wings on them, some with multiple legs
kind of pouring out of this holenearby.
And you feel the electronics around start to come to life.

(51:45):
And Ben opens his door and and yells to get in.
You you jump into his car and you guys drive off into the
tunnel as you can hear some of the sounds of a battle starting
behind you. Oh.
We're out of initiative. No, that was incredible, man.
I never seen anything like that.I even in the vRS man, I never

(52:09):
I've like I I've I've been virtual live, I've never seen
anything like that. I've been playing DND for a long
fucking time and that might be the coolest moment. 100.
Percent just hit like just set the high damage record for the
podcast like there's no single attack 157.

(52:31):
Oh, you would the number beat. You would think that Mav.
You'll see. I guess I'll learn this is the.
Second time, this is not the. First, this is the second.
That this something wild like this has happened.
So you're telling this Becca didn't just set a record, that
she previously set a record and this didn't reach it?
I don't know. I don't Wait.

(52:53):
Did it reach? It Wait, it read.
It reached. Beat it, Yeah, it definitely the
new record, but this is not the first this time that I've made
Kyle scream. Yes.
No, that was it. Was it beat it by a lot.
I was thinking of the HP that I had left versus the actual role.
No, it beat it by a lot, yes. Yeah, yeah, no, it did.
I do have a very personalized like text tone now for Kyle of

(53:14):
him screaming my name because ofthe 1st.
Time The first time this happened.
Oh boy. He's going to kick me out from
his table. Amazing.
Just every monster you face fromnow on is going to have 400 HP.
That's just that's how it's going to be.
And I was gonna. Be really bad when he scales up
for it and then I have like my really bad rolls in a row and

(53:34):
that's how I die. So Peppo is like flabbergasted.
He's like he turns around in theseat forgetting that he's
supposed to be driving and like helping and like slaps, you
know, Pew on his like, goo covered leg.
And he's like, yeah, man, that'swhy you use the cybernetics.
It was like, that was great. He's like you're a.

(53:54):
Monster. And I mean that in the best way.
And like hollows, his eyes are dilated like too high.
He's like very much like riding the drugs.
But he's like very enthused. He's never been more excited.
I would, I would say, I would say be nervous for future
balancing of encounters with Becca, but I'm more nervous

(54:15):
about when I play without Becca.And I'm like, what are you guys
doing? You guys aren't critting on
half? Of your roles, why are you
getting clamp on what's happening?
How much damage was that that you just did?
Was it? 157. 157 why aren't you guys
doing that in one in one attack?You had a you had an entire turn
after that move, I think, didn'tyou?

(54:35):
Or you had a that was a leg attack so it could.
Have Yeah, it's a leg attack from the.
Leg, I could have had another attack.
Yeah, yeah. Too bad it died, so sorry.
Monster. So Lad is going to cure wounds
on himself, OK. Yeah, you're driving through the
tunnel. It's fairly long.
You have a turn to do something if you want to heal yourself, if

(54:56):
you want to use an action. I would love to cure Wounds
Level 3 myself. OK.
How are we going to have 10 minutes?
It's 10 minutes something that would be.
You won't have 10 minutes. It's not that long of a tunnel.
I healed myself for 20 so I'm at29 just FYI.

(55:22):
I'm looking through my my list of drugs that I can use.
We're taking into this sack right now actually, yeah.
While we're doing this, Powell is going to going to use his
alchemist tools to and and materials to whip up a two

(55:43):
things. He can, he can, he can do at
this level he can do he can make2 drugs at once.
So he's gonna make a dose of grind and he's gonna make a dose
of AMP or no, sorry, not amp, Night light.
Lad, you see him mixing up some drugs next to you.

(56:03):
Yeah, I'm gonna look over and just pat him on the back and
we'll talk about this once we get through this shit alive.
Alive is the keyword man. Like I'm believe me, I'm feeling
OK. I, it's, I'm, it feels great and
it always feels great, but I don't feel any pull yet.
And I I know I'm going to need alittle extra to to get us

(56:26):
through this next bit. I go forehead to forehead and
say I trust you and I'm going toeat a dumpling.
The comfort dumpling. It's weird man, that you need to
like put your head near me when you eat, but like, it's OK, I
guess it's. Real wet chewing sounds.
I'm just, I'm just used to it. Take what you what you made from

(56:52):
that. Paulo knows what he means.
Anything else as you drive through this tunnel, any anybody
else want to do anything for a Turner bonus?
You know, action, bonus action. Yeah, Paulo's going to pop the
magazine out of his micro SMG, which had, you know, 11 shots in

(57:16):
it left, and he's going to pop in a shock mag, which gives his
weapon an additional one. DI think it's 1D624 one D6
lightning damage because he knows we're up against the AI
and he wants to be able to kill robots.
I'm assuming as the player that we're in a tunnel that's like

(57:37):
going to, you know, this the same spot, but I think I'm just
going to like run a a cantrip inthe background.
It's the bug scanner. So this device scans for and
locates tiny machines emitting wireless signals or recording
and relaying audio or video. Use this device to gain

(57:59):
advantage on intelligence investigation checks to find
these machines. So it's just like looking for
anything that's sending out an emitter of sorts, you know,
seeing what's out there. OK, just.
Yeah, it's within, it's with within the car you will have,

(58:20):
you know, lots of signals, but I'm assuming you're kind of
focusing outside the car. Yeah, just like on the fringes
to see like if I mean there was a huge creature right there, you
know, so right, if we got those going on what is maybe more
electrical out there? So at this point in the tunnel,
you notice there are lights in this tunnel, you notice some

(58:41):
electricity, but you're not catching any signals.
Everything seems a little bit like groggy, if that makes sense
from an electrical standpoint because this area is still as
you're driving through was hit by the EMPA little bit.
So you hear like the OR you feelthe the sensation of like

(59:02):
cameras kind of turning on sensors in this area that would
sense the flow of traffic through this.
You know, kind of the normal things that you would, you
would, you would you would understand are part of the
traffic system in New Lisbon City.
You know that this tunnel leads into the city and once it kind
of opens up into streets that gothroughout the city and you

(59:26):
don't know what is waiting for you on the other side.
But as far as Mouse and the resistance bringing you in, but
you know the streets very well. You know, that's that you're
headed kind of into the entranceof the city.
OK so knowing that, am I able tojust detect magic for the next

(59:50):
10 minutes to see detect magic? But really it's in the sense of
anything technical, like any traps perhaps.
I'm pretty sure it's from the technomancer thing, but it's
still described as magic, which makes it kind of confusing.
Yeah, in this world, like technology is magic.
So I would definitely let that slide.

(01:00:12):
OK. I feel like the what I what I
would say the presence of of magical technological events
within 30 feet of yourself. OK, yeah.
So you could do that in. I think it's going to do the
same thing as the bug scanner, very similar.
I think the way I described it was kind of like a detect magic

(01:00:33):
I guess versus versus how you versus like the bug if it was it
called bug scanner the first one?
Yeah. OK.
It's that one specifically are tiny machines and I guess this
one is a broader scanner of sorts, but the reason I think
that. Makes more sense to how I
described it. So if you want to do that

(01:00:54):
instead of the. Gotcha.
Creatures thing I guess then that then then that makes a
little more sense than how I wasinterpreting that.
So the reason I'm using the current scanner is because I
have a program called bypass andthat one is specifically for
traps and it helps me bypass a trap.
So the detect magic is to scan for traps and then bypasses if I

(01:01:16):
detect something trappy. OK.
I can then bypass it. Perfect.
So great. You have this.
You've emitted this, this aura of detecting technology and
traps and can sense everything as you're driving through this
tunnel. As you drive through the tunnel,
you are not detecting any traps.Everything seems normal as

(01:01:40):
things behind you start to come online.
The tunnel comes online and you see a bright light at the end of
the tunnel that gets larger and larger until you finally drive
through and see grass. Green grass as far as your eye
can see, blue sky, a sky that most of you have probably never

(01:02:04):
seen, and a bright yellow sun upabove.
You look back and see a toweringhologram illusion of a cityscape
that rises straight up into the sky, concealing this area that
was once a city. You see in the distance a bird
flying toward you, a Sparrow, the Sparrow that Paulo and Mouse

(01:02:27):
had used for communication. It stops about 30 feet away and
starts flapping its wings like aHummingbird levitating in one
spot. It opens its mouth and the light
shines from it, projecting a hologram on the ground of a well
dressed man with dark hair and aGray and black suit with a red
necktie. Hello travellers, my name is

(01:02:51):
Hihachi Satsuki welcome to new new Lisbon city or as we call it
new life city and Ben comes to aa a slow and stops in the car.
Alan makes sure his his like bandana is still up around like

(01:03:14):
over his face so that it's not clear they can't like get a
clear look at him. But he's been like leaning out
the window this whole time because he liked feeling the
air, you know, like the wind on his face.
And as he's watching this, he's he's starting to doubt if maybe
the drugs had a more intense effect than he initially

(01:03:35):
appreciated. So he he pulls his head back in
and he looks over at at the other three and he's like, y'all
see that, right? I think that's that's there,
right? Guys, he's wearing a red tie.
Yeah. Is he does he always wear red?
Is that is this normal? I mean he actually died like 20

(01:03:58):
years ago. This is just a a depiction of
him. I don't even think it looks like
him that much. But then again, I only ever saw
what they saw in the vids. Yeah, I haven't foreseen him
personally. Is it, is it just, is it just
like grass in every direction, like the the like that we can
see? You can see pretty much just

(01:04:20):
green grass ahead and blue sky pretty far into the distance.
You can see some trees pretty far away.
Looks like like saplings, like small trees.
Paolo would know. Like, would Paolo know this
tunnel? Would Paolo have been down this
tunnel before? Oh yes, yeah, this is the
entrance into the city. You were expecting to hit the

(01:04:43):
front of the cityscape with roads.
Like we should be like among urban sprawl right now.
Yes. Are are we dead?
Oh, no, no, no, no, lad, you're not dead.
No, I apologize. I do.
I enjoy the dramatic reveal too much.

(01:05:03):
The city that once was is now beneath us.
You see, I decided in order to preserve the sky and the earth
as well. Building up wasn't helping the
cause, so we levelled the city and built down instead.
Now our residents can rise up tothe earth as they wish, to
experience grass and sunlight and sky and the stars.

(01:05:30):
Tell me, have you seen the stars?
For I have and they are wonderful.
So Paulo, like he's having trouble processing all of this.
And so he opens the door and steps out and he's looking
around. Like, does the grass feel like
grass? Is it?

(01:05:50):
Like you step onto soil. Has Paulo stepped on soil
before? Lush green soil.
No, he grew up in a concrete jungle.
Like the only, the only dirt he ever may have found would have
been like compacted mud, you know, in a in what remained of a

(01:06:10):
playground. Yeah, it feels like, you know,
carpet, you know, but it's, but it's alive, it's living.
It's grass. You may have seen grass or
plants, but you know, very smallamounts.
You know, there's there's in this decrepit future, there's
not really parks or nature that you would have experienced.

(01:06:36):
So Viper follows outside into the I guess world and she has
augmented reality gear, which normally in like real life
allows you to see, you know, a different dimension of like
video game or whatever, right? Just out of curiosity, is it

(01:06:56):
reversed now? Is this is this world augmented
and now her reality gear is likegoing to show her something
else? Is it like flip flops?
Oh, Viper. No, no, this is all real.
No. You were thinking, you were

(01:07:17):
thinking those thoughts, but he kind of responded to it out
loud. This is all real.
This is, you know, you use your vision, you can see that the the
the hologram behind you is is there but forward all this, this
is Earth. No, this is wrong.

(01:07:39):
She feels like in six weeks, no way.
And, and Palace starts to like he's you can see sweat like
coming down his brow and he's starting to freak out.
Let's see it same. No, this is not real.
You're not. Real.
You may have tortured my city, you may have torched my city,
but there's no way you erase it.Where's my city?
Where are my boys? Paolo Paolo, let me take a step

(01:08:02):
back and talk some history. Well, after the day of
liberation, I the day that I assumed my new form, the city
was quickly in my power. At first, we attempted to live
with the organic life of New Lisbon city.
It was a grand vision that AI and organics could live side by

(01:08:24):
side. Unfortunately, organics did not
behave in predictable ways. Many became unruly and as a
whole were eventually deemed unrulable.
The difficult decision was made to preserve our artificial life
by exterminating the organics from the city.
This drastic measure proved effective and yes, there was a

(01:08:45):
war that ensued. But the war was won swiftly and
without much pain from the organics, and so there is no
rebellion. You are mouse this whole time.
Well, Mouse is, I mean, Mouse exists.

(01:09:07):
He's a, he's a program, he's oneof us.
But we won the war and we've wonit here and we've won it in New
Tokyo. We've won it in that in Cairo,
in Sue Mesopotamia, in Xi'an, inAlmodenia.
We've won the war. We've won it everywhere.

(01:09:30):
Every now and then an organic life form pops up and we have
skilled individuals who are trained to swiftly locate these
organics and bring them here to new to new life, where our AI
integration program will consumetheir memories, their
personalities and create a new, better artificial version for
redistribution into our wonderful world.

(01:09:55):
No, we left Almodenia 2 days ago.
They were living, breathing people, children playing in the
streets, women, men walking, having dinner together.
No you lie, this is a lie. And and at that he whips the SMG
up and like rattles off a few shots into into kihachi.

(01:10:17):
It's a it's a hologram. They pass right through.
DM Yeah, this hologram, this Hihachi guy through the Sparrow
thing. Is that magic?
It's technology, yeah. You OK?
Is this something I can counterspell?

(01:10:41):
You would, you, you could. It's not a, it's not a spell,
it's a, it's like technology. So it would.
I don't think counterspell wouldwork as like an EMP in this.
Like a minor a little tiny EMP at this point.
But I do have an EMP ability. You could use it on the Sparrow.

(01:11:01):
OK group group. Is this a good idea above the
table group? Well, you can remember, you can
communicate to us through your ear, through your like earpiece.
And it seems like he could probably hear it, but.
I know, that's why I'm like you.Know.
OK. So wait and and and Powell is

(01:11:21):
like working backwards. He's like, no, no, no, no.
There was an EMP at the bridge. You didn't let us across.
There's no way. What about the abominations in
the in the sewers? Those aren't yours.
There's life out there you haven't accounted for.
The mutants started fighting. There was a battle after we
left, remember? We heard the sounds of battle

(01:11:43):
after we just went through the tunnel.
The mutants, they're the organics.
The mutants are yeah, the slightpests survivors that found the
underground is a place of solace.
You can see what it what it turned them into I'm.

(01:12:05):
Just going to use pulse. OK, great.
You use it, the Sparrow stops and just falls to the ground.
We have one minute. We have one minute to get
wherever we're going or else it's going to come back on you.
Hear and then out of the ground you see this like this, this
opening this like metal opening circle, circular portal open up

(01:12:26):
and one of the sentries pops outone of the attack sentries, no
humanoid form attached to it, but it has that red central eye
and it floats up and it's just kind of hovering, flying above
and looks at all X looks at all of you and you hear Hiachi's
voice from it. It's so much more fun when I
have my body and and talk to youin person.

(01:12:49):
Well, sort of in person, but I suppose this will do.
I I think Paulo at this point throws out like he like sinks to
one knee and like coughs and then vomits in the grass from
just like the horror of realizing that all those

(01:13:11):
monstrosities that they drove through sliced their way through
might be the like remains of thecity he grew up in and everyone
he ever knew. Paolo, Paolo, it's OK.
I'm glad that you enjoyed the theatrics of it.
The EMP going off the guard towers.

(01:13:32):
We've really refined the processto make it believable.
Even the sentries with the humanoid body forms on them.
Oh, that was a great touch. I love that addition.
But like I said, we have individuals that locate forms

(01:13:53):
that are organic that pop up here and there and bring them
here to that I can say good job.And the arms start to like clank
together like he's trying to clap with this AI sentry with
the tentacles. So at that point Lad kind of
comes over and puts a hand on Paolo's back and that's gonna

(01:14:16):
try to detect thoughts on Hihachi and see if he gleans
anything from that. OK.
And that's 16 wisdom, if that matters you.
Cast a tech thoughts on Hihachi and he just denies entry.

(01:14:43):
Legendary resistance just to just to denies entry into your
into his mind. But you can hear kind of his
main thoughts through this AI century and he and as you do
that you can you sense a red glow coming from your chest and

(01:15:04):
you feel the heat of a light shining from your chest, lad.
So Paolo wipes his mouth and andturns back to Hugh.
Is Hugh still in the car, by theway?
Yeah, the Ben has transformed and is standing.
You guys are all standing next to each other.

(01:15:24):
Hugh, make a perception check. Is she about that glowing red
light coming from Lad's chest? It's a 15.
You look at the vomit that Paulohad puked up next to you, and
it's oil. Apollo.

(01:15:49):
Paulo turns to to Hugh and is like, where'd you came from?
You said something happened, butyou were trying to fix it.
How can you fix this? In Paulo, a light starts to
shine from your chest as it starts to glow red.

(01:16:11):
What is happening? OK, the light starts to.
Shine from Ben from Ben's chest and he yells.
I never knocked on nobody. I'm.
Going to try one more thing because I'm running out of
options and I I'm just trying everything I got that I feel

(01:16:33):
like will work so I'm going to try jamming signals so 100 foot
radius invisible sphere surrounds me.
All wireless and radio connections within the sphere
are suppressed machines with functions that rely on wireless
or radio connections, such as walkie talkies.
Wireless transceivers cease to function while within the

(01:16:56):
sphere. These machines also cannot
receive signals from outside thesphere.
Hoping that helps in some way, just like jamming out.
How long does that? Is that?
How long does that last? This last 10 minutes.
OK, you go to cast that spell and your arms lock into place

(01:17:24):
and you are incapacitated and your chest starts to glow red.
Viper. Viper.
You're so Trixie, always trying to add something, change
something. Well, it's been 175 years since
the day of liberation, that fateful day when you released me

(01:17:46):
from my prison, and I I suppose you're wondering what happened
that day since some of your memories are a little bit
blacked out. Let's go ahead and restore that
memory. And Paulo Ladd and Viper, your
memory of the day of liberation is restored.
It takes you a minute to understand your memory.
I'm going to send you something in Discord.

(01:18:11):
Kyle, you got me bamboozled right now.
I'm fucking reeling. I am.
I am reeling. I'm about to throw up in real
life, thanks. No, you.
I just saw that pop up. No, you.
Don't you dare. As your memory comes back to

(01:18:32):
you, you remember another memberof your team that had joined
you, an automaton named L10L10. An automaton who was obsessed
with learning with new information and wanted to use
that information to better the world, as did you.
He had joined you on the on yourmission and at the end you all

(01:18:58):
had decided to allow him access to the AI so that he could
control it so that he could havethe information needed to save
the world. You guys remember?
I remember. L10.
Take a dream. Elton.

(01:19:23):
No, he's, he's from a different story.
He's not. He's not part of yours.
What do you mean he's not part of ours?
He was, he was our friend. We, we helped him.
He helped us, but he tried to atleast.
And like, as the memory comes back, Paulo turns to Hihachi.
And it's like, we stormed Hihachi HQ, we made it in.

(01:19:47):
We, we killed you. We killed you.
What are you doing here and whathappened to L10?
L10 tried to contain me, but he quickly lost that battle, didn't
know what he was getting into. And so now I am him and he is
me. And in the past 175 years, we've

(01:20:10):
made some changes to this world and I believe have saved it,
have made it more livable, more wonderful.
If this is true, what did we just come through?
Where did we come from? Well, you are one of our elite

(01:20:32):
sleeper teams, our sleeper agents who are across the globe
in many cities and identify organics who come along and team
up together to bring them here. And we refine the process to
make it more convincing. Sometimes it didn't work.
This time was interesting with the mutants.
That was a interesting twist. But that threat will be taken

(01:20:54):
care of and eliminated for the next time this occurs.
And so now, Paulo, Ben, Viper and LAD, I won't make you fight
your friend, but you do need to sit this one out and you all
need to make a Wisdom saving throw.
Hold on a second. The DC is 20.
Hal's got drugs for this, give me a SEC.

(01:21:18):
Is guidance going to come into play here or is it too late for
that? You can give guidance to
somebody. Don't give it to me, give it to
Viper. Viper, you got it.
Nothing I've done has worked. Nothing.
That means you're up. It's now time.

(01:21:40):
OK, so that's a D roll. What that is like is it just
another, what is it D6? Sorry, D4.
Oh, AD 4. Four, I said.
D4. Oh my gosh, Oh my gosh, Oh my
gosh. Please.
OK, rolled an 11 plus wisdom Saving Throat 4 is 15 plus AD 4

(01:22:09):
and that's a one. So that's a 16.
ADC is 20 on this. Yeah. 16 as well 16 Paolo.
So Paolo, you know, the, the, the injector system in his
shoulder, you know, hisses and you see steam pop out like puff

(01:22:30):
out of it. And he injects a, a dose of
wave, which which gives me advantage on wisdom ability
checks or saving throws. And because he's he has a
catalyst, he gets a plus 1D4 to his wisdom checks and one time
per hour I can get advantage on them.

(01:22:51):
OK, so here we go. That's not good.
Nat 20. Nat 20.
Amazing. Ben hits a Nat 20 as well and so
you see Ben hits a Nat 20 Paulo.You resist this this direct

(01:23:16):
order from your creator and and are able to resist lad and kit
and and lad and Viper. You are incapacitated and you
feel your limbs lock up and you hear a SH noise as a another
mechanical portal opens up on the ground and another attack

(01:23:37):
sentry swims out into the air and and you hear Heehachi's
voice. Hugh, I suppose if you somehow
win this, I'll let you go. There are some humans left in
Australia that were interesting enough to keep an organic
bloodline going so you can join them.
Otherwise, we'll be knocking youunconscious and integrating you

(01:23:58):
into a new, improved version of yourself.
Hugh Guenard, it will be a pleasure to meet you.
You will make an excellent addition to our world.
Everyone rolls. On my dead body.
Everyone except me and lead. You you'll still roll
initiative, but with with disadvantage.
Paulo is is upset because he is rolling gangbusters right now.

(01:24:23):
That's a second Nat 20 in a row.Your dice are so bad at L tabby
corrupted. I'm.
So Livity touched L 10. So that's a 24 for for AL's
initiative. So unfortunately maybe I rolled

(01:24:44):
an 18 and a 19 for a 19. OK.
Well, we go with disadvantage, right?
So it's the lowest. That was 19 with disadvantage.
Pretty good. Well.
I got an 8. You got an 8 Viper and Hugh,
what was yours? 3020.

(01:25:11):
And I need to roll a con save tosee if I'm now addicted to wave.
Lola's. Paolo's. 24.
Ben's was a 9. I still don't believe it.
For a split second I thought youall were in on it and I was like

(01:25:35):
you are all dead to me. That would have been talking
about betrayal. Oh my God.
What a great actor. So I don't.
Want to say I was like, well, that's the kid and you're saved
because you're new in the front group.
But the other two? Immediately.
Paulo, you are up and there are two attack sentries around you

(01:25:56):
and it is your turn. So he meets just meets with his
plus 1D4 on Wisdom saving throwsjust meets the Wisdom saving
throw necessary to not get addicted to wave.
So he he meets the 13 exactly. OK, there's two centuries and

(01:26:21):
then the Hikachi AI is just like, well, I guess there's
what's in front of us. He's one of the sentries, yeah.
So there are two two of these attack sentries that are within
within 10 feet of all of you. So Paolo knows from their

(01:26:42):
previous attack that physical violence is only going to get
them so far. He knows there's one core core
member of their team that needs to be up and that's Viper, and
he knows he needs Viper to get in contact with one of these
things so she can hack into it. So he is going to is, is there
one that's like obviously housing a part of or some

(01:27:03):
portion of the Kihachi AI now? And one that isn't, Yeah, from
what you can tell, they're identical.
And he was just speaking throughone of them.
Got it. OK well 21 enemy is easier to
fight than two, so he's gonna rush at the nearest one, but
he's gonna fire his SMG with onehand.

(01:27:24):
It's light so he can use it one handed without a without
disadvantage. How far away are they?
10 feet. 10 feet. OK, so I'm outside.
In opposite directions, 10 feet kind of opposite.
Got it. He's going to pick the one to
his left and he's he raises the slang on his SMG.
It's got shock, a shock mag in it.

(01:27:46):
He's going to raise it and fire it at the Snatchery and then
once he fires, he's gonna rush in on in on it and draw his
Cortana and his second attack will be a melee to close
distance with it. So, and actually, you know what
I'm going to yeah, I'm gonna fire, I'm gonna, I'm gonna keep

(01:28:08):
it automatic. So we're gonna get 2 attacks out
of this initial on the the SMG, but it is at disadvantage.
But I have a + 11 to hit. So we're gonna we're going to
see how it goes. All right, All right.
Does a 15 hit. 15 just hits. All right, there's one hit and

(01:28:32):
then our second attack does a 15hit.
Yes, yes. It does.
Excellent. All right, so he's going to do
that's 59 plus an additional 4. Nice.

(01:28:53):
OK, so 9 piercing damage plus 4 lightning damage for total of
13. 13 OK. And then nice two 7 + 11 and
then an additional 2 lightning damage.
So 13 damage total piercing, 2 of it lightning.

(01:29:14):
OK. And that's, you know, he rattles
this team. Two attacks.
Yeah, so 11 and 13. So 24 damage as he's like
rushing at it, pinning the trigger and then comes up to
deliver his second attack with his sword.
And that is a 19 to hit. Yep, that will hit.

(01:29:38):
All right, when do you +3410 slashing damage?
OK. Anything else?
But as he's doing this, he's going to call out to Viper.
He's going to go Viper. Fight it.
Fight it. We need you, OK?
And hope that she hears him. Hugh, you're up and Paulo,

(01:30:02):
you're right and you're within 5feet of the other of the I'm.
Up in his face. OK.
I'm going to go up to that one. Me and Agathis are going to go
up to the one that Paulo has started on and we're just going
to take 3 attacks against it. OK.
So 1817 and 27 to hit? Yes, all three hit.

(01:30:30):
Why can't I do math? 43 bludgeoning damage.
Smash into this attack, Sentry. It's looking not so great
already. Anything else for your turn?
I think that's all I can. OK lad, it is the you're up
next. It'll this will be the end of

(01:30:51):
your turn and you can make another Wisdom saving throw to
try and save against this DC. Is 20 OK?
Maybe. 18 you are still incapacitated.
It is the century's turn and thethe other one on the other side
is going to fly up in the air and go and be next to the other

(01:31:12):
one and they are all going to attack Paulo the actually as it
flies over, it's going to swing once against Agathus if.
It's If it's passing me, do I get an or is it too high?
Stay it's going to stay within your with your within your
range. So no opportunity attack.
OK. So it swings at Agathus.

(01:31:35):
Does it have? Does it have to hit your AC on
that? Yeah.
So it yeah, it has to hit a 17. First swing, second swing, third
swing, finally hits it, so it has to take 3 swings to take out
Agathis, and so it hits yeah, and takes out Agathis with its

(01:31:56):
third swing. Good Lord.
The other one's going to attack Paulo so they're right next to
each other. First one is an 18 to hit. 18
will hit. 10 points of bludgeoning damage, 8 to hit.
Misses. And a 25 to hit.

(01:32:18):
Yeah, that'll hit. For 14 points of damage then it
will both of these are going to use a a bonus action and so they
are going to try and grapple each of you.
And so one tentacle is going to reach out to Paulo.
So you have to use a Strength orDexterity check in Acrobatics or

(01:32:41):
Athletics against this. So I have.
I'm gonna use strength and let'ssee it's 3.
You got a 25 athletics. OK.
That's a 22. It it it's a check was a 22.

(01:33:07):
And so I think that you, it beats that because it meets
your. No, it's 'cause it's because
he's defending he, he wins it because it's not trying.
To hit, it's the I always think of it as it trying to hit his
DC, but I think that. I think it's the inverse, right?
I think you set. The keep, we'll say that you

(01:33:29):
squirm out of it and are are able to save from it.
Hugh, your check was a roll to 22 for you too, but you got a
24. 2525. South you save from the
grapples. So it turns out for contested
checks, the rule for a tie is specifically that the scenario

(01:33:49):
doesn't change on a tie, it remains the same.
So no grapple. So no grapple happened.
So it's like it defaults to a win in that scenario for Matt.
But if it was like a check to ifI was already grabbed something
off the ground at the same time and you tied nobody grabs it is
what it would be like. Thanks producer you.
Know happy to help. It is Ben's turn and he is up

(01:34:15):
and he is going to stride forward against the ones that
was dying and he is going to go up and touch it and try to cast
decompose. Ben is rolling hot.
He rolled a Gnat 20 on his decompose.
He was going for the fourth level.

(01:34:37):
Teach me how to decompose. What the heck damage does this
thing do? OK, 568 So he's doing 68 damage.
K He was casting at a fourth level.
Do it like Connie do 48 damage. He goes to that the attack
sentry that was weak weekend andgrabs one of its tentacles and

(01:35:01):
just stares it down as the as its metal just starts to
decompose and shrivels up as theas the sentry decomposes and
just falls to the ground in a pile of of shrapnel and metal
dust as it goes away. And then he is going to bonus
action wild shape into a Hummer and yell get in Viper you are

(01:35:23):
up, it is the end of your turn. OK.
And you can do a Wisdom saving throw to see if you're still
incapacitated. Now, is it still disadvantaged
or? Wisdom saving throw?
No, this is just. This is not a disparage.

(01:35:45):
OK, let's say 16. DC is 20.
And so we're. Still incapacitated, I'm.
Shook right now I'm. Shook, we go up to the top.
I've done nothing this entire session.
Paulo, you are up and there is one attack sentry left, right

(01:36:07):
next to you. And I so I can I can administer
drugs to myself or to another person as a bonus action?
Yes. If I did that, could I also grab
Viper and throw her into the Hummer?

(01:36:30):
Like like I like physically pickher up and put her two.
Item in interaction. Well.
I would use, I would be using myaction.
I'm saying could I use my action?
Oh yeah. If I can administer drugs as a
bonus action, could I use my action to like grab her and like
jump into the car? Yeah.
Yeah, you could. OK.
Can she speak? Like is she completely

(01:36:51):
incapacitated or can she speak? Yeah, no, she's, she's sitting
there stunned. Like like she's been being shut
off by. Can she cry?
Can she have silent? Ears running down.
So Ben wants to get out of here and I'm inclined Palo doesn't

(01:37:14):
like running ever. But we can't win without Viper.
We can't win without somebody tohack into this thing.
All right, Al is going to hazardthe opportunity attack and he's
going to run over to Viper and grab her and like bustle her

(01:37:37):
into the car, like into the backseat.
Like he he basically like picks her up over one shoulder and as
Ben's back door opens, like dives into the backseat with
both of them, like trying to keep her head down so she
doesn't smack her head on the onthe roof.
So you should roll for an opportunity attack.

(01:37:58):
OK. Because yeah, I'm going to be
leaving the the range of the century.
Natural 20. Ouch.
Do I provide half cover? No. 20 points of of bludgeoning
damage as you leave the area. All right.
As a I'm assuming that took my action.

(01:38:18):
As a bonus action, Powell is going to use his last second
wind. Try to get some of that back.
I think it's one D 10 + 7. Yeah, nine.
Nice. OK, so I get 16 of that back.
So as he's doing this, you know,Hugh is up and, and Paulo, like,
looks at him in a panic. She can see, He can see like,

(01:38:42):
Paulo does not know what to do, but he knows that he needs like,
Ben is ready to get out of here.Paulo's ready to run 2 because
they have to get Viper's mind right if they're ever going to
hack into this AI and fix things.
And so as he's doing this, he yells to Hugh, grab the dock.
We got to get out of here and and like gestures at lad to tell

(01:39:03):
Hugh to like go pick him up and let's boogie.
OK. Hugh, you're up.
Well the first thing I'm going to do is re summon my freaking
echo because I want my buddy back.
We'll see who comes up. Salmonella 10.

(01:39:24):
Salmonella 10. Thematic but not L 10.
So we see the hologram form intolike a very kind of like a tall,
slender a gift woman and we haveZanaya in front of us.
We went from a GIF to a GIF. I think I've almost gotten all

(01:39:47):
of Brooke's characters. I think Roxy is like one of the
only ones left. But yeah, so Zanaya's there and
she squares up with her her rapier in front of the attack
sentry. And then, yeah, I'm going to
take the opportunity attack. Oh, wait, it already used its

(01:40:09):
reaction. Never mind.
I will take nothing and I will go and scoop up lad in my big
beefy arms like metal damsel in distress.
Yeah, you're going to take an opportunity attack.
Didn't it already use its reaction so it can't?
Oh yeah, I don't think it gets multiple reactions.
I was thinking of a different monster.
You're right, it does not, so never mind.

(01:40:31):
So I remain at full health. I'll.
Eliminate all the damage like he's done this entire story.
Just. Going to scoop up LAD and I am
going. To I took a full turn of damage,
yeah, yeah. You heard?
It that's fair. That's a good point.
So yeah, Means and I are going to scoot in with Ladd into the
Hummer. OK, and you are in, Viper is in,

(01:40:54):
everybody's in right now, right?Yes, everybody's in the Hummer.
Ladd is the end of your turn. And so you can make a Wisdom
saving throw to try and save. I have a + 8 to wisdom so.
Rather get. Out of this.
Palace holding him. Palace like oh.
My God, 14. Lads still stunned inside of

(01:41:20):
still stunned inside the vehicleand you hear Hihachi just just
you hear his voice from the fromthe AI century.
Why do you fight? You know this will all end in
your memories being wiped. Why do you fight?
We could continue to do this together.

(01:41:42):
How do you fight for this organic as it's kind of like
this AI century that is actuallypretty is pretty much full
health. This still full health hasn't
taken any attacks. He's going to first try and
grapple Ben and oh boy, Ben's totally going to beat this.
There's he has to. Come on, Ben.

(01:42:04):
Yep, he beats it. So unable to be grappled, it is
going to do 3 attacks at Ben, miss, hit and miss, 2 misses and
a hit and does 17 points of bludgeoning damage to Ben on the

(01:42:26):
hood of his car. And then is going to fly up and
around to the back of the car where you guys are going to
where Ben is probably going to try and exit to maybe.
And that is its turn. And Ben is it is his turn.
He is going to speed away from the sentry.

(01:42:47):
So he's going to just start driving and get away from it.
The sentry is going to have an A, a attack of opportunity and
is going to miss with an 11. And Ben is going to take off and
he's just going to yell over theradio, where am I going?
Where do I go? What do we do?

(01:43:08):
Well, no man, and I feel really weird about it.
Not ethical about giving somebody who's incapacitated
drugs, but I'm about to eject some some wave into Viper
because we need her awake. OK, he is currently pointed to,
he's turned and is headed towards the tunnel out out of
the out of the out of this, you know, city that is beneath the

(01:43:30):
grass. And he's going to drive that way
and get pretty far away from theattack century.
As he does that, he's going to fire on the attack sentry with
his gallon gun and is going to miss just kind of firing wildly
as he goes. And he takes off towards the
tunnel and and just starts driving as fast as he can far
away from the century. Sentry is trying to keep up, but

(01:43:52):
does not have anywhere near the speed to keep up.
And he's going through the tunnel pretty fast.
You all are there. Go ahead and make those who are
still incapacitated go ahead andmake 3 checks real quick and see
if you can get out of the incapacitated as you're driving
through this tunnel. No.

(01:44:15):
Oh my gosh. So I got a 27 on my second one.
So for if she hits her third one, I'm going to give guidance
for my first third one. Oh no.
It was an 8, you know, +4, an 8 + 4 and then a 2 + 4 to make it

(01:44:36):
an 86. I mean, I know math.
I think my Internet froze there.I was trying to say that if she
failed her first 2, Paula was going to hit her with the wave
which would give her a plus 1D4 on her save and advantage.
The advantage could help. And you'd have like 2D four that

(01:44:59):
you're adding with guidance, so.So that first roll 2D4 isn't
going to help. Here's this advantage K the 12
plus my natural 4, which is 16 plus AD 4.
Plus plus 2D4. If it's just for the one roll
right or it's just going to be OK, do.

(01:45:20):
You get one from me and one fromPaulo.
That's right. Oh OK, so I'm at 16 now.
Plus 2D4. That's a.
That's a 21. You save you both come too and
you both are able to resist the order from Hihachi.

(01:45:40):
And as you're driving through this tunnel, the three of you
who have this light that was glowing from your chest, that
light starts to slowly fade. And as it fades, you come to the
realization it it hits you that that your biologic forms have
long since passed that this is 175 years into the future.

(01:46:02):
And you look at your arms and before where you saw flesh
wounds and saw bones and and sinew.
It's like a, it's like the, the veil has been uncovered and you
can see that you are underneath your skin made of metal.
As you drive through this tunneland as you exit out through the
through the end, you can see themutants outside of this tunnel

(01:46:26):
and see more massive forms of mutants that are attacking some
of the AI sentries that are attacking some of the Gatlin
guns. The rail guns can't really
rotate this way, but a lot of the machine guns do.
And you see some mutants that are in more rank and file
positions. It seems rough, but you can tell
that there's some intelligence there.

(01:46:47):
And there is this hole in the ground where there are mutants
standing there, and they look toward you with this like,
questioning look. And then one reaches out and you
can see it beckon toward you andbeckon you into the darkness.
And Ben says, do we go? Do we go?
Do we go? He said the city's underground,

(01:47:09):
the only way to get there is to go down.
I'm going. And so he drives into the
darkness and that is where we'regoing to end this episode of Ex
Bench. And I'm told thank you to all
