00:23

00:24
Ben
And I am Ben Milton.
00:25
Addy

Review the show. All of that is on our website, certainpov.com do you want to tell us a little bit about Patreon and how they can be part of the show that way?
00:44
Ben
Yeah, it's real easy. Just head to our webpage like we've mentioned, certainpov.com and click on the support page. You'll see a video there that describes in detail what Patreon is, how it works, how you can help support the show. They do a much better job than I can possibly do at this stage of the game explaining this to you. Let's get started, man.
01:02
Addy
Yeah. All of that again is@ certainpov.com today. We are continuing a brand new series that has gotten everyone at this table really excited. Star wars rpg. This is officially session one. We had our session zero, which was our character creation. Just a quick introduction of everyone around the table. Corey.
01:22
Cory
Hey guys, what's going on? Thanks again for having me on the show. Super excited to be here. And if those listening, if you can just pray for me that I don't get bit by a mosquito this episode or hurt myself slapping a mosquito off my face. That'd be great.
01:36
Ben
Since Corey has like the lowest constitution score roll possible, then. Yeah, that makes sense.
01:42
Cory
It's gonna be interesting.
01:43
Ben
Good luck, sir.
01:43
Addy
Yes. And then we've got Sean with us.
01:45
Shawn
Hi, I'm Sean and I'm here.
01:49
Ben
That was a little straightforward.
01:50
Addy
I like that. And then of course, Case and I.
01:56
Case
Will be your dungeon master tonight, sweet tits. Actually, on that note, so we're gonna get started with doing the. The official first session. But let's kind of recap, as we said before was session zero, which it's not. It was mostly character creation. A little bit of fleshing out some of the. The relationships. So, Ben, why don't we have you start off by describing who your character is and how you relate to everyone here.
02:21
Ben
My name is. My character's name is Phelous Voshkiller. I am a fringer. A human fringer. I'm kind of an asshole.
02:35
Cory
Kind of.
02:35
Ben
A little bit. It was a bad day.
02:39
Addy
There's a reason you're a Fringer.
02:41
Case
Was it a bad day? I mean, I feel like everyone's still alive. When the Death Star was supposed to kill everyone.
02:45
Ben
It was a bad day for me, all right. It was a bad day for me. Private reasons. I have a. I have a rivalry with Addie, or I'm a little bit jealous of Addie or have some sort of rivalry going on with Addie. I don't really like him a whole lot, even, because I'm trying to beat him at something I'm not sure what.
03:02
Case
Now, we understand that in the real world, but in the game, you also.
03:04
Ben
In the game, too, like, yes, I'm kind of an asshole, and I have a rivalry with Addie. I went for real hard role playing.
03:11
Addy
Yeah. We're easing you in, apparently.
03:15
Ben
Yeah, yeah.
03:15
Case
Also, I'll note that we all had everyone roll the classic Dungeons and dragons style of 3D6, and that was your stat going down the list. Yeah, you. I think you actually came out pretty well.
03:26
Ben
Yeah, I did good.
03:27
Case
You're generally pretty on point for average with a few overs, right?
03:31
Ben
I have a couple overs, and I'm. I have one under, which is dexterity. It's a seven. Strength is above average. Constitution is above a little more than above average. Intelligence is a little bit more than above average. Wisdom is slightly above average, and my charisma is average.
03:49
Case
And you're playing a Fringer, right? Yeah. So you're kind of like a survivalist.
03:52
Ben
I'm a survivalist, yeah. I'm out from, like, the Outer Rim and have come in to help the rebellion with all my. My knowledge and skills.
04:00
Case
So kind of like a brilliant redneck.
04:01
Ben
Yeah, I'm more of a gambler. I got some. I put some of my points into gambling and those kinds of, like, spy elements. Because part of my story is also that I believe that there is a secret project, and I want. I have to get to the bottom of the idea of this secret project, even though I don't really know what it is. And I have all sorts of crazy Alex Jones conspiracy theories.
04:20
Case
The best part is, like, clearly there was a secret project. Everyone just found out about it. And you're like, no, there's another dude. All right, all right, let's go around the table then. Sean.
04:31
Shawn
Yeah. So I am Fendir Pickup. I'm Ithorian. I am a scout. And my character is. I have this religious connection with Addie's character, whom I met on fuglyaliensmeet.com.
04:49
Cory
That'S a really good website, by the way.
04:51
Addy
Seriously, it's done wonders for my social life.
04:54
Case
It's about friendship, not hooking up.
04:57
Shawn
Absolutely.
04:58
Ben
Then why do you go?
05:01
Addy
It's like meetup.com.
05:03
Shawn
Exactly.
05:04
Cory
Exactly. Not that we would know.
05:05
Shawn
And I'm an excellent pilot, but I do have a fear of hyperspace that I need to confront. And at some point, as far as the numbers, my abilities, that's all Japanese to me. I don't know a goddamn thing still. Which means I'm going to live the longest in the storyline, most likely.
05:23
Case
Yeah.
05:24
Shawn
So, yeah. And I'm. I'm male.
05:29
Case
Does that mean shot at Snoke, maybe? He might be.
05:33
Ben
Oh, that would be the best.
05:35
Case
That's what the scars are.
05:36
Ben
Cutting off his hammer.
05:37
Case
So from someone who's probably going to live the longest to someone who, spoiler alert, probably won't.
05:42
Cory
Yeah, I figured.
05:43
Case
Then why don't you go, oh, cool.
05:46
Cory
So I am hu. Flung Dong. And I am a Gungan who left Nabili.
05:50
Case
Yes. He voluntarily chose to be a Gungan.
05:52
Cory
I had to. It's my only chance to live past the first episode. But, yeah, so I left, you know, my planet and my family to pursue my dreams as a singer. But along the way, just ended up enlisting. And, yeah, my. My hit record, Opaque Style did not go well on the radio.
06:10
Case
I'm sorry, I was just. Say that again.
06:12
Ben
What was your.
06:14
Shawn
Say that?
06:15
Ben
Gun.
06:15
Cory
Gun style. Yeah, it was not a hit record. So I ended up enlisting and had a couple things, you know, go from there. So as far as my.
06:26
Addy
I don't want to see this music video.
06:28
Case
I'm envisioning it now.
06:29
Cory
It's like hidden archives.
06:37
Case
Man.
06:38
Ben
Well, we got something to do this.
06:39
Case
Weekend.
06:42
Cory
So stat wise, I think I'm pretty average, which we established last episode is. The average is not, you know, a bad thing. And.
06:51
Ben
Yeah, but it isn't good either.
06:53
Cory
Just. Yeah, right. But I'm a good shot, so hopefully I can hide in a tree somewhere without falling off and help you guys out.
06:59
Ben
You don't get in a tree now. You stay behind the tree.
07:03
Addy
Yeah.
07:03
Ben
Shoot around the tree, coming down that tree.
07:05
Addy
I can't guarantee you to get down safely.
07:08
Cory
All right, done. I'm just going to follow you.
07:11
Addy
So I am Fosho, the from Keldor.
07:15
Ben
And you changed your name. Let's be. Let's put that out there right now.
07:18
Addy
Yeah, you can go back to the episode.
07:19
Ben
Yeah, yeah, I know. I'm just letting everybody know because they were confused because they were like, wasn't he she? Or one of those, like, one of those, like, new sexless pronouns that Abby.
07:32
Shawn
Thomas.
07:35
Cory
Yeah.
07:35
Addy
No such Thomas. If I was going for the serene.
07:42
Case
Nice session zero were. Everyone's allowed to kind of refine their characters after that.
07:47
Addy
So anyway, so Fosho the Force. So I'm a Force adept. Figured I was looking. Looking a little bit at the Keldor and apparently they've been Force users even before, like going way back. They're like more shamanistic and sages.
08:00
Case
Makes sense.
08:01
Ben
Yeah. Yeah.
08:01
Addy
They believe more like the forces wind and not necessarily like this thing that binds everybody.
08:07
Case
So you could have been like a kid who would have been a Jedi but ended up being homeschooled because the Jedi Academy was gone.
08:13
Addy
Yeah, pretty much. Yeah.
08:15
Ben
We know the Jetta.
08:15
Addy
We know the Jedi failed. So we decided to go for alternative methods of education.
08:20
Ben
Hashtag alternative facts.
08:23
Addy
For my stats. There's a lot. There's quite a few that's below average, like stamina, dexterity and charisma. My constitution and intellect is kind of average, but my Wisdom is at 17, so I've got some Force powers to use here and there.
08:38
Case
Cool.
08:38
Ben
Cool.
08:38
Case
We ended the last session with Foshou and Huflangdong both up in their guard towers. And Adi successfully was able to spot a little bit of twinkling in the distance before alarms started. So Phelias and Finder, please give me an initiative roll. Fender, you were still awake. You were up like you were dressed and just like reading or something to that effect. Faileous. Yeah, I'm leaning towards. You still had your pants on around your ankles, but that was about it at that point.
09:23
Ben
Damn it, Addie.
09:27
Case
As you thought of better times.
09:28
Addy
Do I have to roll if I can detect? What do you think? Not down there.
09:34
Ben
I'm not the one who's in love with you.
09:36
Addy
Oh, I know. That's why I'm trying to sense it.
09:40
Case
As you try to think of better times into that trash can.
09:43
Ben
Oh, all right.
09:45
Case
That's awkward because then the alarms start going off and people start going crazy and I got finished.
09:51
Ben
I gotta finish.
09:55
Cory
Five more minutes, but.
09:56
Case
So the alarm's going woo.
10:00
Ben
Pick up the face.
10:01
Case
You guys are each in private chambers. You're not sharing barracks. You both get up. What do you do? Head out to the hall.
10:08
Ben
Put my pants on.
10:09
Case
Okay.
10:10
Ben
Head out to the hallway.
10:11
Case
Wait, do you finish or do you have the stiffy?
10:14
Ben
How close was I?
10:15
Addy
How many actions does this count as.
10:19
Case
You were in the vinegar strokes. But it was probably a little bit of ways.
10:23
Ben
This is a tough choice.
10:25
Case
Like, it was like a little bit of whiskey dick from the fest, like, the festivities earlier today. So you're like, it's so close, I can't stop. But it's not.
10:31
Ben
But that.
10:32
Case
That.
10:32
Ben
That alarm is so annoying. And there's no way I could finish with that.
10:35
Case
Whoop.
10:36
Shawn
Okay.
10:36
Case
Whoop. Take A. Take A minus 4 temporarily to your dexterity modifier for the next few minutes while you've got the chubby. Prevent from. Damn it. This is like real life. You've got some restrictions and. Fender, what are you up to?
10:55
Shawn
I mean, so I was in the middle of a mystery novel.
11:02
Addy
Agatha Christie.
11:04
Shawn
No. Come on. This is far away from Agatha Christie space.
11:07
Case
Agatha Christie.
11:09
Shawn
Yes. And let's see. So I'm thumbing through the pages, hear the alarm, and then, like, must finish this chapter.
11:19
Ben
I'm almost there.
11:20
Case
Who did it?
11:21
Ben
Oh, I know you feel.
11:25
Shawn
Who killed the Wookiee prime minister?
11:26
Ben
I don't know. Whatever you call it, dude. Whatever you call it.
11:30
Case
Fender, you take a minus two to your intelligence for the duration because you can't get your mind off the chapter.
11:37
Addy
Nice.
11:39
Case
All right, so. So the. The alarm's going off. You hear a commotion. Everyone. You start hearing announcements, like, all personnel to evacuate. Evacuate essential personnel. Flight crews to their ships. Everyone else to escape vessels.
11:56
Ben
I don't remember where we're supposed to go. Did anybody find out where, like, the backup base is?
12:01
Case
You're in your room alone. Shit.
12:02
Ben
I'm thinking. I think out loud.
12:05
Case
Fender, are you thinking out loud to yourself?
12:08
Shawn
I'm thinking I know exactly where the backup base is because I wasn't out drinking with the rest of the rebels. And jerking off says it like it's a bad thing.
12:19
Case
So you're pretty sure you know, like, where to go?
12:21
Shawn
Actually, I'm the designated security monitor for this.
12:26
Addy
The ra.
12:28
Shawn
I need to go out, and I need to get everyone out of the barracks. And to where? To the backup base.
12:33
Case
All right, so. So what do you do? So you run out. You run out.
12:38
Shawn
I run out.
12:38
Case
Like, you're fully dressed.
12:39
Shawn
You're.
12:40
Case
You're ready. A lot of people are asleep. Some people are, like, throwing their clothes on. Other people have restricted pants.
12:44
Shawn
And luckily, as an authority. And I have a very loud vocal cords, and I sound like I go.
12:51
Case
Get out.
12:53
Shawn
Oh, get out.
12:55
Addy
Oh, my God.
12:55
Ben
Is this place haunted?
12:58
Case
So you're up. You're on your feet. You're knocking on the Doors. You're pounding on it, right?
13:01
Shawn
Yes. Whatever your name is.
13:08
Case
I know.
13:09
Shawn
I took improv class. I'm sorry, is it.
13:15
Case
I go to failures.
13:17
Ben
Failures.
13:17
Shawn
Failures. Yeah, f. There. Yeah, get out.
13:21
Ben
All right, where. Where do I go? Where do I go? I don't know where to go.
13:24
Case
Just get out. Go.
13:26
Ben
All right, F. Do.
13:27
Case
Do you come out the door? Yes. All right, so you. You. You w. You waddle your way out and then Fender is leading the charge being like this way to the escape, right? Yeah.
13:36
Ben
Follow the big guy.
13:36
Shawn
Follow me. All right, we're going to stairwell 13.
13:41
Ben
Oh, okay.
13:42
Case
All right, so you guys start running off now. You two, Faux show and hu. Fengdeng, you guys are up on the. On your towers. Now the alarms start going off and then almost immediately ripping through the trees, these massive cannons that had been concealed rise up and fire off shots into the sky. Now, like, hoof. You haven't. You still haven't seen anything. You just heard the alarms and hope or foe.
14:07
Ben
No, you got it right.
14:08
Addy
My friends got me home too.
14:09
Case
How you just see this, like, faint twinkling in the skies. The shot goes off and it's like there's a solid second or two in between before like this thunderclap of the air hitting you. And you see the light, like, disappear into the sky. And then there's almost like a pregnant pause when a shot comes down and tears the floor right in front of you. Like maybe 25 yards in front of your tower, just completely apart in like, say a 15 foot, like, circumference. It's just ripped a hole in the forest there. And then there's a few more seconds and another shot rips down and this time it hits the base and you see this like a chunk of the building, like, start to collapse on the inside. Who, like, what? How are you reacting to this?
15:07
Cory
I'm looking around. I'm looking for.
15:08
Ben
For him.
15:09
Cory
I'm looking for it.
15:10
Case
Okay, you guys both see each other, cuz you're both on towers elevated up above the. The base. What. What are your reactions? Like, where do you want to do? Like, what do you guys want to do? Like, you hear the alarms, you hear evacuations, and as far as you know, you can't do that's you should. Space is attacking.
15:25
Addy
Yeah, well, I. I want to figure out who. I'm assuming it's the Empire, but I mean, can I identify them or are they way too far out?
15:33
Case
They're way too far out. You can't see anything. You see like the faintest Glimmer of lights.
15:37
Cory
We need to find our commander. We need to find where he's at. We need to go to him now.
15:41
Addy
Yeah. Report for duty.
15:41
Ben
Yeah, yeah. Remember the commander who screwed you?
15:45
Case
Okay, so you guys march down the. Down your towers, right?
15:49
Cory
Yes, unless there's safe stairs nearby. I'm heading for the stairs.
15:54
Case
You guys are at the top of these, like, individual towers. Like they're lookout towers. So there's like, ladders for you to climb down. It's not like there's easy stairwells. You're not on, like, climbing down.
16:03
Addy
You're having to climb down and head towards the temple base.
16:07
Cory
Yeah, I'm suspicious but brave. I'll go ahead and take the ladder down. Get down to the ground.
16:12
Case
Suspicious.
16:13
Ben
It's the way you got up there, dumbass.
16:14
Cory
I know, but it's not the way I want to go down.
16:17
Case
You're a little primitive.
16:18
Cory
It's not the way I want to go down. I'm going down.
16:23
Ben
That's what she said.
16:24
Case
All right, you guys. You guys both climb down. There's all this clamor of people running around screaming like it's the Empire. How did they get here so fast? How? How? And people are just all confused. Who. A Gungan soldier runs up to you and it goes like, hey, Husa Misa. You. You, sir, need to make our species proud. These humans, these short tongues, Yusa try to talk like them, but Wisa need to make a stand now.
16:56
Cory
Misa.
16:58
Case
Yeah, Misa. Fight. Alright, Musa. I will fight. Shotgun. You, sir. And you. You. Gas face. Come on, we need guns. The Empire is coming.
17:12
Addy
All right, I'm ready.
17:15
Case
And he leads you out of the building that you guys were towards. What you know are. Is the armor.
17:25
Ben
Hold on. What the hell out of you.
17:34
Case
What?
17:35
Ben
All right, I guess we'll just do that.
17:38
Case
That's what broke you.
17:41
Ben
Oh, my God. After like the whole like, Gungan tongue battle, then I get out of you go. Yeah, all right, whatever. Just to go do that.
17:58
Shawn
Less is more, right, Addie?
18:03
Case
So you guys are running out into the like the open quad towards the armory. You see X Wing's ships already starting to take off. None have gotten very high, but they're starting to like, gain some altitude. And all of a sudden you hear this rumbling sound and that the moon appears to be like a little bit darker. And that's when you realize that there. It's not a. It's not enough to be sufficiently like, blocking out light, but it is starting to get in the way of the Natural light that was coming down on the quad, and it's just high fighters. If you look really closely, just high fighters and blaster sharp, like, smaller blaster shots than the big ones that have been hitting. Start peppering the ground, and people next to you start getting hurt.
18:43
Case
And you guys are just running as fast as you can towards the armory. Give me reflex saves, guys. So take D20 and then add the reflex roll.
18:57
Cory
So in this case, it would be the 11 and 3.
19:01
Case
Yep. So that's a 14.
19:03
Addy
14, 19.
19:05
Case
Okay. You guys both successfully make it through this field where, like, it's not a lot of people are getting hit. It's a very early rush of it, but it's just this roaring sound as they're still coming closer, like they're up in the upper atmosphere and firing down. And you hear another thundercrack as a shot from the sky shakes the base. It hit directly against the side of it. It doesn't look like it caused anything to collapse, but part of a wall started to peel off. And you guys run into the armory, where you each find padded flight suits. If you want to write this down into your inventory, you find a heavy blaster foe. You find a stun baton. All right, so you guys take a few minutes to get your flight suits on and get geared up.
19:55
Case
All right, so we are back to the To Defender and to Failius trying to get free. So you guys are running down the hallways.
20:04
Ben
You.
20:04
Case
You know where the escape pod is, right?
20:06
Ben
The.
20:06
Case
The ship to get off. All right, so you're shouting for people to come and join and. And get out of here. All right, so you guys are moving. You. You hear people shouting. Like, how did they. How did they find us so fast? And you hear people whispering, like, they. They must have been on their way already. Like, what's going on? What's. This is crazy. I can't. Human soldiers, Failures. What are you doing? While you're. While you're running there?
20:40
Ben
Looking for any kind of weapon I can grab along the way in any kind of room. Like, if I see any kind of, like, storeroom or weapons room or anything like that, while I'm kind of, like, just following along in the crowd, you.
20:51
Case
See a small cutting tool that could be used as a knife. Okay. But right now, you're just wearing regular clothes.
20:59
Addy
Okay.
21:00
Ben
So I find. So I put that under inventory.
21:02
Case
Can I put that in gear? Yeah, well, you can put under weapon on the front page.
21:10
Ben
There it is.
21:10
Cory
I found it.
21:12
Ben
I'm just go right.
21:13
Case
Knife.
21:15
Ben
Okay.
21:16
Case
Path.
21:16
Shawn
Okay.
21:17
Case
Okay. And fender because you were. Because you decided that you were the, like, the hall monitor for evacuation attempts. You have a blaster pistol.
21:28
Shawn
Glad I had that.
21:30
Case
Sweet. Oh, cool. Well, have. Or look at the stats while. While we're doing this. All right, but. So you're escorting people away. All right, so we're gonna cut back to hoof and to foe. All right, so you guys are. You guys are dressed up, right?
21:50
Cory
We're dressed up, right.
21:53
Case
The Gunga, the older Gungan, who also, like, geared up. It's like, all right, now we sa. We go defend our troops. The Empire is coming. Let's go make Naboo proud.
22:08
Cory
I'm in. You ready?
22:11
Ben
Sure.
22:13
Addy
I mean, it's fine if the Naboo want to be proud. I'm not from there, but I'll come along.
22:19
Case
Issa, not about Naboo. Issa, not about the people. Issa, not about the length of your tongue or the weird gas face that you have. Issa, about the cause. Purpose. You here?
22:39
Addy
Yes, I'm here.
22:44
Case
Now. We said no. We got people who are trying to get off. Because if we go down here, like this guy, everyone, everything we fought for, every giant Death Star, we blow up. Issa, don't matter now the troops are coming, so we got to make sure that they get off okay. You understand?
23:06
Addy
Yes, sir. So.
23:21
Case
So he. He ushers you forward, and you guys chase after him. You march down some stairs and get to a tunnel, and you see all these people sort of flocking. You realize this is one of the evacuation routes, so you're following them to get to escape pods and to make sure that there's guards just in case anything really gets in the way. So you guys come to this clearing, and they sort of had met up with you at this point, you guys are probably. By you guys, I mean Fender and Thaleas. You're probably maybe 10 meters ahead of them. Okay, great. In this march, you're all running to the same ship, because if you remember from Empire, they've got these, like, big escape ships. They're not, like, generally small pods and, like, people are trying to get ushered on.
24:03
Case
But, you know, the passageways aren't very big, and so only, like, one person could get on at a time. And that's when there's this loud or, well, this roaring sound as this very wide cylinder thunks down into the ground just outside the base, near the landing or the. Pardon me, near the launch pad. And out from it, stormtroopers and AT STs start to pour out, firing shots. People are starting to go Down. What do you guys do?
24:34
Ben
Well, I got a knife, so I'm running.
24:37
Case
You're gonna keep going for it. All right, you've got about 50 meters to get to the. To the launchpad.
24:44
Ben
What else is around?
24:45
Shawn
What's around inches?
24:51
Ben
How far away did that tube thing land with the troopers and ADATs ATSTs?
24:58
Case
Probably about a kilometer away.
25:00
Ben
Oh, I could totally make that.
25:01
Case
Yeah, they're like. They're getting shots off. That's a little too far. Half a kilometer away, they're starting to fire shots off in your direction, but it's only because you're such a big crowd of people trying to rush.
25:13
Ben
They're not going to just pick people off. Is he still ahead of me?
25:21
Case
You two are about with each other.
25:23
Ben
Okay. So I could.
25:24
Case
You're kind of waddling a little bit behind him, but he's not very. Come on.
25:26
Ben
It's been long enough. There's enough going on.
25:29
Case
If anything, all the rush.
25:33
Ben
Not. I did not take a Viagra before I whacked off.
25:36
Case
Rightism, the end of the rebellion.
25:40
Shawn
So I would imagine this platform would have some sort of large cannon for defense.
25:46
Case
Yeah, there are, like, turrets on the side that currently are unmanned. People did not expect this thing just to hit the ground for launching people off.
25:57
Ben
Okay, yeah, I'm making my way to that. Definitely making my way to that.
26:00
Case
All right. And you guys were 30 meters behind them. So what are you doing?
26:03
Cory
We can see them, though, right?
26:04
Case
Oh, yeah. No, you guys have all cleared out of the tunnel, and now they're. You're only, like, just leaving the tunnel. They're just a little bit ahead of you. They're only, you know, 30 meters.
26:12
Addy
Yeah, I want to get to another turret as well, so.
26:15
Case
Okay, so you rush on up. All right, so we're going to start what is a thing from 4th Edition Dungeon and dragon called a skill challenge. So the. The nature of this is that everyone can use the skills that they have. Or if in lieu of a skill, you could do just a stat roll or some sort of, like, explanation of a role concept, but basically think about what you're capable of doing and make an explanation for it, and I will tell you if it's a valid skill use for this. You guys collectively have to win a certain number before you fail a certain number. And I have the DC set. You cannot repeat a skill yourself. But anyone else can do that skill, although they may not do it directly after someone else has done it.
27:03
Case
So for a scenario, if you're in a skill challenge where Someone's trying to beat you up in a bar, and you try to use diplomacy so they wouldn't punch you. The next person can't also use diplomacy, so they don't punch or get punched either. So you got to switch it off each time. So everyone give me an initiative role. So roll a D20. Add your initiative modifier. All right, so, Ben, you're up. All right. Oh, so you've got to pick a skill from the list that you have.
27:29
Cory
This is awful.
27:29
Case
Balance. Also, you can. If you wanted to use one, that would determine information. I just freely gave you guys. You're welcome to do that roll and just sort of. We'll retcon that part.
27:40
Ben
All right. All right, I'll do that. Yeah. All right. Gather information.
27:43
Case
All right, so give me a D20 roll and then add that skill.
27:47
Ben
17.
27:48
Case
All right, that's a success. So you actually. You look around and you assess the situation. You see about how far away the stormtroopers are, how far away those at STS are, how close you are to both the way you came back inside the temple, and then also how far away you are from the launch pad and that they have defense turrets on it that you would be able to potentially use to defend yourself. Okay, so that's a success. So next up, Sean.
28:16
Shawn
So I have survival, and I have search. Hide. I'm not going to hide.
28:25
Case
Survival or search. You could both do things with that.
28:27
Shawn
I'd say I'm going to go with there's nothing I'm searching for. We found the turrets. We're running for the damn escape ship. I'd say. Right. I'd say survival.
28:39
Case
All right, I'll let you.
28:40
Shawn
Yeah, survival mode here.
28:41
Case
Yeah, so we'll say that you're ducking and weaving in ways that can avoid shots and, like, positioning yourself so you're not the most obvious target as you run. All right, so give me a D20 roll and then add that survival skill.
28:54
Shawn
Seven plus eight.
28:58
Ben
Eight total.
28:59
Shawn
Well, I have eight right now, so it'd be 15.
29:01
Case
Oh, yeah. Fifteen is a success. Wow.
29:03
Ben
Congratulations.
29:04
Shawn
Thank you.
29:05
Case
Yeah, he has an awesome survival skill, apparently. So. Yeah, so that's a success. So you're able to. To sort of position yourself. Like, it's not, like, perfectly flat terrain. You're not, like, sitting ducks as you're. As you're rushing across, so you're able to, like, sort of position yourself. Like, the small imperfections of the land give you additional cover as you go and sort of go in, like, an arc that makes it difficult for them to like get a direct beat on you.
29:30
Shawn
And I look like a natural tree branch.
29:34
Case
Oh yeah. You're like throwing the mud on your face as you go. And they're like, get to the chop up. No, Addie, you're up next.
29:42
Addy
All right, so. So I was gonna use heal another to see if there's someone who's injured that I can get dirty.
29:52
Case
Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
29:53
Addy
To come along.
29:54
Case
Oh man, Jedi stuff is gonna be crazy for skill challenges because those are all skills. Yeah.
29:59
Addy
So yeah.
30:00
Case
Okay. Yeah.
30:01
Addy
That way. So we have someone else to come along with us to. To help defend.
30:05
Case
Yep.
30:05
Addy
So what do I gotta do?
30:08
Case
Okay, so give me a roll. So roll a D20 and then add the ranks that you have in that skill.
30:15
Addy
So that's 12.
30:17
Case
Okay. That's a success. So you guys. Or so you see that there are people that are injured and you're able to sort of rush to them and like use your like very weak but still there force powers to sort of mend some wounds and like strengthen some hearts that have been, you know, like have fallen into despair as they are getting shot at. And you sort of rally people and get them up and going. And like, it's like, people like take note of this. It's like really impressive because you are altruistically, watch out.
30:49
Ben
Always showing off this asshole.
30:51
Case
And I'm going to award you a force point for that.
30:54
Addy
Oh, sweet.
30:54
Ben
Damn it. Nice. Way to go, Addie. So happy for you.
30:59
Addy
Oh, you'll be. You'll be happy with some of the other powers.
31:02
Case
Corey, you're up.
31:04
Cory
All right, so I already saw them get to the turrets.
31:06
Case
Yeah.
31:08
Cory
So are there any left? Because I want one too.
31:13
Case
Yeah.
31:14
Shawn
So it's a.
31:16
Case
It's a. It's a square platform and there's one at each corner. So they've gotten to two of them, but you could get at one. It's not the closest to them or to the. To the oncoming Sith anymore. Or not.
31:27
Ben
This is how he dies anymore.
31:29
Case
But you are able. You. You're pretty sure you can get shots off it. Cuz it's elevated enough. You're not going to have an issue.
31:34
Cory
And then I'll use Computer use skills to make sure there's anything else I might be able to tap into while I'm at the platform. Is that good?
31:41
Case
Master skill computer use.
31:43
Cory
It's not good.
31:44
Case
No. I'm going to be honest. I was just kidding, guys.
31:47
Ben
I was totally kidding.
31:50
Case
You're like, I'm going to get you a gun. Computer, Computer.
31:53
Shawn
Use.
31:54
Case
Yeah, it's gotta kind of make sense.
31:56
Cory
What if it's a high tech gun? All right, never mind.
31:58
Case
You could automate the guns.
32:00
Cory
Dang. Wow.
32:01
Addy
Do you use? Computer use?
32:02
Case
Yeah, you could use that.
32:04
Ben
Try.
32:07
Cory
He didn't sound very happy about that one.
32:08
Ben
No, I like it.
32:09
Case
That's a good idea because you're like, I'm gonna get to the gun turret because I'm a soldier and I'm a good shot. Computer use. Like, I'm gonna take out my sword and I'm gonna cut off his head. Diplomacy.
32:23
Ben
Diplomacy. It's the Trump way.
32:31
Case
Demolitions, you're a tough nut to untie. Gordian knot, that is.
32:35
Cory
I'm going to do demolitions.
32:36
Case
Demolitions. Okay. All right, so give me a roll.
32:39
Cory
All right. 20, right?
32:41
Case
Yep.
32:44
Ben
Six.
32:45
Case
Plus your skill.
32:48
Cory
Which one?
32:49
Case
Demolition skill.
32:51
Cory
Oh, okay, that's four.
32:54
Addy
Ten.
32:54
Case
Okay, ten. Unfortunately you. That is not a success. You.
33:01
Shawn
Oh.
33:04
Case
You. Okay, you get to the platform and you think that you can use. You can like jury rig like a fire extinguisher to be like an explosion. So you chuck it out there. You only have five health. You fire a blaster shot at it and all it does is it creates this like foamy goo spot like on the ground, like 10 meters away from you. It's not that far and they're nowhere near you at this point. So it's just like a little bit of foam on the ground and you're like, That did nothing.
33:37
Cory
Hope nobody saw that.
33:39
Ben
You're like.
33:39
Case
Misa have an idea.
33:42
Ben
What the.
33:43
Case
He's not taking Issa. Looks just like the front of your pants. Hey, sir Husa usa. You sir not doing good. You sir needa use your brain. Hu vondang. Use our poor example to the Gungan people. Mr. Triton, that. But that is one failure.
34:24
Ben
Yeah, yeah, that's one way to put it.
34:27
Case
You are not.
34:29
Cory
Bringing.
34:31
Case
All right, Ben, we're back to you.
34:32
Ben
Oh, oh, back to me. I got to come up with another one. All right, I'm going to do.
34:37
Addy
Let's see.
34:38
Ben
Did I make it to the gun yet or. No, I'm still.
34:39
Case
Yeah, you got to the gun.
34:40
Ben
Oh, I made it to the gun.
34:41
Case
Yeah.
34:41
Ben
We're going to move silently.
34:42
Case
No. Or you're almost to the gun like.
34:47
Addy
Now.
34:48
Case
You managed the gun. You made it to good.
34:49
Ben
All right then I'm just survival to kind of like make sure that nobody shoots the gun while I'm sitting in it and it blows up on my face. Cuz well, look at it.
35:05
Case
Well but It. Yeah.
35:06
Addy
Aren't you the one using the gun?
35:08
Ben
Yeah, but, like, if I see, like. Because I know there's been some big blasts coming down, not just blaster fire.
35:15
Case
I'm looking out for something where. Because it's kind of a fixed gun, so it's not like you can really. Like, what you can do is you can kind of shoot at the people who just happen to get close enough to fire off at you.
35:25
Ben
And so I'm drawing a line in the sand. It's not really survival, though.
35:31
Case
That's more marksmanship, right? Yeah, but he's not a Martian subskill.
35:35
Ben
Let me work on this.
35:38
Case
Do you have spot? Oh, I do a spot check. Whoa.
35:43
Addy
I was gonna ask. Are they, like, are they running?
35:45
Case
Is. It's.
35:46
Addy
Well, it's a platform, so it's kind of like an open plane. So we have the woods of yavin around us, right?
35:51
Case
Yeah. So you could. It's really atst that you can very clearly see walking through because it's not very tall trees at the spot that you're at.
35:59
Addy
But there's, like, cover around the. The imperial troops that are advancing at us.
36:03
Case
Yeah, but you can. Like I said, it's. It's not. It is neither very tall nor very thick. So you can see a little bit of the white of their armors moving through, and you can see their blaster shots definitely coming through.
36:17
Ben
9.
36:19
Case
Okay, that is also a failure.
36:22
Ben
Yeah.
36:23
Case
Nice with you.
36:24
Ben
Solidarity.
36:25
Case
So you fire off, but all you successfully do is just hit trees, and it doesn't even really, like, clear out the space. In fact, if anything, it makes it worse because the trees that fall down now provide cover for the troops at the. At like, height level or like. Or personal level. Great. Sean, you're up again.
36:41
Ben
I didn't even hit Addie. That's the problem.
36:44
Shawn
All right, so after survival mode, I actually get to the escape ship, Right. I think I'm going with pilot, and I'm thinking of actually getting these escape. Escape ship, bringing it to the escaping rebels. Instead of them trying to get to the platform, try to actually maneuver closer.
37:05
Case
I'll work with you on this one. So you can't.
37:07
Shawn
Please.
37:08
Case
You wouldn't be like. It wouldn't do you any good. The big problem right now is the slowdown and getting people on. But give me a roll first. And I have a way for this to work.
37:20
Shawn
Nine plus. I think that's gonna be 12.
37:26
Case
12. Cool. That is a success. So, Sean, you get to the ship and you realize that one of the things that's the holdup is that no one knows how to operate it. None of the designated pilots for it have made it to there. So you realize that you at least know enough about ships to get it started and get it running and open up all the doors, because right now, everyone's coming in through the one emergency hatch.
37:51
Ben
But.
37:51
Case
But there are other ways on. Like, there's, like, cargo passages on it. So you get on there and you open it, and actually, people start rushing on. And that's great. Everyone's able to get on except for those that are sort of holding off everyone, like, the troops back. But you. You get to the point where everyone is completely on from that group. Like, the ship's, like, full up, and it needs to take off. And you shout down to the others, like, hey, everyone, we. We need to go. We need to go. And you guys now noticing that, yes, everyone's gotten clear that anyone else who's coming gonna have to get on a different ship. And there are other ones being mounted, load up on the ship. And that was a successful skill challenge, guys. You guys got through it.
38:37
Ben
Hooray us. Joan. Well, I messed up, too.
38:43
Cory
Wasn't fire extinguisher, though.
38:45
Ben
Yours was way worse.
38:46
Case
All right, you guys all rush onto the ship. You brace yourself into secured positions. You strap yourselves in.
38:52
Ben
I'm already strapped in, if you know what I mean.
38:54
Case
Sean, give me a pilot check.
38:58
Shawn
All right, the gauge thruster, left force. Damn it. I don't know how to use this. Wait a minute. Nope, I got it. And check navigation. Set.
39:10
Case
A stewardess walks down, goes, is anyone a healer in the room?
39:16
Ben
I think our pilot's having a heart attack.
39:19
Addy
I'm ready.
39:22
Shawn
I know a guy.
39:26
Case
All right.
39:26
Shawn
All right, setting coordinates. Set. Check everyone's on board. All right, Everything's looking good. Air cond. Yeah, air conditioning's good. Movie of the week on. Okay.
39:41
Case
No, seriously, give me a roll overall.
39:45
Shawn
That's all I need to do.
39:49
Case
No, that was fantastic.
39:53
Shawn
17.
39:53
Case
I was hoping, like, you'd be like, oh, I rolled a one, by the way.
39:58
Ben
No shit.
40:00
Case
All right, cool. You engage the thrusters, and it starts to take off. There are windows that you guys are able to look out and see. Ships are starting to take off. X wings are swooping by, and there's now, like, actually, like, a dog fight that's, like, dipping down below you now. It's like they're, like, circling around your ships with TIE fighters as you start to leave the atmosphere. But then three shots come down. You see one vessel from a Distance get taken down. You see another strike. A TIE fighter and an X wing together. And then you hear a burning, slashing sound into the hull of the ship. And you start to, like, gravity starts to kick in as you're pulled down faster and faster. Brace for impact, guys. Addie, you come to first. Your body is in a lot of pain.
41:00
Case
You have no vitality points. Oh.
41:04
Shawn
Oh, geez.
41:05
Case
And you have taken one point of wound damage. There's nothing broken. The supports held you all right, but you're definitely hurting. Everyone else is either dead or unconscious.
41:20
Ben
Please don't rape me.
41:23
Case
The ship landed bottom down, so you're not in a weird angle. You're not being support, like, held in an awkward direction. But the windows have broken. There's just glass shards everywhere, and part of the roof has burned off. It looked like the blast hit it and then heated it so much that the layers of it eventually burned through. And then the metal of the ceiling of the chamber you were in poured in and actually poured onto some people, and they are frozen in these metal postures of screams of agony.
42:00
Addy
Holy crap.
42:01
Case
What do you do?
42:04
Addy
I'm looking for the. The door and just running out.
42:08
Case
Okay, so you still strapped in, and you're a lot of pain. Dick.
42:11
Cory
So what happened to that healer on the battlefield?
42:18
Case
You dick.
42:21
Ben
You giant. Giant dick. Damn it, Addie. It's all right.
42:29
Case
Is that what you do? No.
42:31
Addy
I'm gonna look around and see who's alright, since I have.
42:34
Case
Okay, so describe.
42:35
Ben
Sentry just ridiculed you for five minutes. I was never gonna do that.
42:39
Case
See, this is how you play with a paladin, guys. You have someone who doesn't want to be a paladin. Played the paladin. And then you just berate him for every curse he makes the entire time. All right, so you just describe how it goes. So you wake up, you're still strapped into a seat up against a side wall.
42:56
Ben
There's a.
42:58
Case
It is partially lit lights coming in through the broken windows and through the gaping hole at the top. But there's a lot of shadow, and it's very still.
43:08
Addy
I mean, so first I'm just kind of struggling to get myself together, and I feel obviously the pain from my wound. So, you know, I'm checking myself first, and I see the. There's the dead people over in the other side of the ship. And I'm gonna look around and see if they're. If there's any survivors and if I can get up.
43:36
Case
Okay, when you unhook your strap, part of Your mask comes loose. It had been sort of locked into your strap a bit, and when you woke up and tried to take it off, you jerked your head. And so now all of a sudden, gas is starting to pour in through this chunk that's missing in the side of your mask. What's your reaction to that?
44:07
Addy
I'm panicked right there. I need to find something to cover it up quickly.
44:10
Case
Give me a spot check.
44:12
Addy
Okay.
44:14
Cory
Four.
44:15
Case
It's a good roll.
44:17
Addy
Yeah. Oh, what do I combine your spot?
44:20
Case
4.
44:21
Addy
Oh, sorry, sorry.
44:22
Case
D20 plus.
44:22
Addy
Is it spot? So with spot, do I. Can I use 4 sense, or is it just spot on its own?
44:30
Case
Give me both rolls. So give me spot first and then four sense.
44:33
Ben
So panic and use the force.
44:39
Addy
Nine would spot. Enhanced senses is what it is. It's another three. Is three.
44:51
Case
Oh, okay.
44:52
Addy
Is that different?
44:53
Case
No, that works. All right, so you see that there is a life support sort of like an ER station at one end. And you think that it might have certain survival things for different or species of different environments. You think that's like standard procedure for ships that have like, a mixed set of races that can survive in different conditions? Okay, so give me a constitute. Give me a fortitude save. Pardon me?
45:22
Addy
Three total.
45:24
Ben
Yeah.
45:27
Case
You take one wound point, you start making your way. But between the pain and everything, it's hard for you to not breathe in some of the toxic fumes. And it's starting to make you feel you're having trouble breathing. Like you still have some flow of the properly filtered atmosphere, but you're getting some just like raw yavin air. And for you it just. It hurts a lot. So you start making your way to. You get over to the ER station and you start fumbling through. Give me a search check. Do you have search or if not, give me a spot, please.
46:06
Ben
Let him just bleed out right here. Just be the funniest thing ever.
46:13
Addy
17.
46:14
Case
Okay, so you find like canisters of like, I forget the exact composition of your atmospheric gases, but you find those that are meant for, like, species like yours. You also find a fresh mask and give me another fortitude save.
46:33
Addy
Nine total. Yep.
46:36
Case
You take another wound point. You're. You're able to fit it on. But like, the. The pain when you. When you take off the mask causes you to gasp and you take another, like a gulp of air and it really burns. Like your. Your eyes are. What is it? Like acid tearing up. I don't know what your species does. Are you the aliens? You're aliens.
47:05
Cory
Okay.
47:06
Case
Your face huggering. Up, and then you're. How many.
47:09
Ben
How many. How many points do you have left, Daddy?
47:11
Addy
Seven.
47:12
Ben
Oh, he's good.
47:14
Case
Okay, but you're in a lot of pain, but you get it clicked into. Into place and you're able to. To breathe again. So now what do you do now that your immediate survival is covered?
47:25
Addy
Well, now I'm gonna check for any other survivors.
47:28
Shawn
All right, condition.
47:31
Case
Give me a spot check. And because of your Force powers, I'm gonna say you have advantage, which is to say you roll the D20 twice and take the better of the two results.
47:42
Addy
Oh, okay, so I use Exorcist 7. Sorry, so. So I'm gonna add spot. Do I. Do I add enhanced senses to that too? Or is that totally different?
47:53
Case
Whatever you thought that was the. Wait, this is your fourth skill is the enhanced senses power.
47:58
Addy
Yeah.
47:59
Case
Okay, that is a power you have to activate. So, no, just give me spot. Okay, but like I said, give me advantage because you are doing this with the Force as well to, like, find life.
48:08
Addy
Okay, so my higher roll was just 16.
48:11
Case
Okay.
48:12
Addy
Plus five. So. Oh, 21.
48:16
Case
You see, hu flung down. He is positioned right near where you. Where you were because you guys came in together and like, clicked into your. Your seatbelts, relatively close to each other. You see him back across the way near where. Where you'd passed or had, like, woken up. He is lying there. Come over to him and do you have heal the skill not Heal Cell or Heal Others. But he'll.
48:43
Addy
No, there's. I have a choice between Heal Another or Heal Self.
48:46
Case
No, not in the four skills. In the regular skills, there's Heal.
48:51
Addy
I don't see heal on the list.
48:52
Case
Never mind. Give him a heel self check.
48:56
Addy
Oh, so just roll.
48:57
Case
Yeah, just give that it and. Oh. Or Heal Others. Pardon me?
49:01
Addy
Oh, oh, heal another. Yeah, so that is. Hold on. 17.
49:07
Case
Okay, so you're able to determine that he's alive, he's unconscious, and you're able to revive him. All right, Hu Fengdong, you just woke up. You've taken in the scene. You've taken in the scene that I had described to you guys. What is your reaction?
49:29
Cory
I'm looking around and where's my gun? It's the first thing I had before the hit.
49:34
Ben
Like the way the soldier thinks.
49:38
Case
Your gun is across the way a little bit. It looks like the handle is buried in the skull of a rebel who's locked into position in their seat. It appears to be in perfectly good shape. It's just that the.
49:56
Ben
This better not be my head.
49:58
Case
Flew out of your hand and like landed inside someone in the force of the impact.
50:03
Cory
Not a good time to use one's head.
50:04
Case
As an aside, you also have no vitality points and you have taken four points of wound damage in the fall.
50:16
Ben
How many did you start with?
50:17
Cory
I had 10.
50:18
Addy
10?
50:19
Ben
Oh, yeah.
50:23
Addy
Remember, he added to his constitution.
50:26
Ben
Okay.
50:26
Case
Yeah, he took toughness, which gives you increase in wounds. Okay.
50:30
Ben
I was like, how am I?
50:32
Cory
Only I'm doing a body check now. So my arms are moving okay. And my legs moving okay.
50:39
Case
All right, so you're. You're able to get free of your. Of the safety harness and you're up. You're clearly in a lot of pain. Like a lot of bruising all over your body, but you seem to be okay. You're alive. Okay, what do you guys do now?
50:59
Addy
So we want to, well, one, we want to make sure. We're to check outside the ship to make sure there aren't any stormtroopers approaching first. Before we go and check the others.
51:11
Cory
Before we do that, I just want to thank you for saving my life. My life flashed before my eyes and you healed me.
51:20
Ben
You're welcome.
51:20
Case
Hooflog dog Miter recommend that Hoof, who is a soldier, would make the most sense to be checking outside for the perimeter. And yeah, boy, you stay inside. Who is the. The Force adept healer would make the most sense to be checking on the bodies.
51:36
Cory
All right, I'm ahead. Yeah, I'm gonna head towards the door first. I gotta get my blaster, so I'm gonna go ahead and just pull it out the guy's head.
51:41
Case
Okay. Yeah, you yank it out. It's pretty gross. There's a lot of blood sprays in your face and it's disgusting. Your clothes are definitely not fit.
51:54
Ben
No.
51:56
Case
I want to go home single. All right.
52:01
Cory
God damn it.
52:06
Case
So you go outside, you're holding the bloody gun that had previously been wedged into one of your comrades brains. Meanwhile, Fosho continues to look over the people inside the cabin. Inside the main cabin, you don't find anyone except for one person. It's a human. And it's someone, well, who you have strange conflicted feelings about.
52:32
Addy
Oh, no. Is he still erect?
52:36
Ben
Yes, I am.
52:37
Case
He had gone down, but actually the force of the impact has left him with a chubby.
52:44
Ben
I have one right now just thinking about it. So.
52:51
Case
He had apparently been flung free of his safety harness, but. Or rather not free so much as partially free. His foot got caught and then he landed over other people who then were impaled by metal shards from the impact that came up through the bottom of the ship. So he was spared of it because other people were in the way.
53:17
Ben
As the good Lord intended.
53:18
Case
He's unconscious. What do you do?
53:22
Addy
So I see him and.
53:24
Case
Do not rape me. Do not rape me.
53:28
Addy
Well, I turn him over. I want to turn him away from me for a second. Clouding my field of vision and my focus. Hetty.
53:37
Cory
Soldier.
53:38
Addy
So I can figure out if he's alive because I wouldn't want anything harmful to happen to him. And check to and heal him.
53:49
Case
As you look him over, he farts a little. So you infer that he's alive.
53:55
Ben
Or I just shit myself in my mortal death coil.
54:02
Case
No, it wasn't even a full on shard. It was. It was just a little bit of a fart. It was a little toot. Yeah, it's a little too. You're pretty sure he's alive.
54:10
Cory
You gotta go.
54:13
Addy
So I'm gonna just set him up and heal him.
54:18
Case
Okay, so he. His leg was definitely broken when it got yanked by the safety harness. So what you're gonna have to do is a proper heal self check, which includes a cost because you're using a force power.
54:36
Addy
I should have just left the one.
54:38
Ben
That I got before.
54:39
Case
All right, so this will cause. This causes costs. You a vitality point?
54:48
Ben
Me?
54:49
Case
No, Addie. So what I'm saying. I know you're at zero. So what I'm going to say is that it will cause you to be fatigued afterwards. Okay, well, he's a big guy.
55:01
Addy
To heal. Oh, sorry.
55:04
Ben
Thanks for noticing.
55:06
Case
So give it a check. Give it a roll.
55:10
Ben
He's talking about the dice heading, not my dick.
55:14
Addy
Oh, that's a four with the dicer.
55:19
Ben
Eleven.
55:21
Case
All right, he's stabilized. You set his leg.
55:29
Addy
Second leg, not third.
55:31
Case
Geez. You set his leg and even though you're not gushing with the power of the force right now, especially not now because you're so drained, the bone sort of clicks into place as if it was meant to be that way. Because it was like you just sort of make things shift into the proper position the way that they want to be. And his. So his legs now mended, but he's still unconscious. But he's alive. You made sure that he's okay.
56:00
Ben
Hashtag thanks Obama.
56:02
Case
Yeah, yeah, that. Very affordable healthcare worked out pretty well. Yeah. All right, so he's unconscious. And you don't think you can. You have it in you to like force them awake right now, but you can still survey and see if there's any other survivors.
56:16
Addy
Yes, I'm gonna. I'm gonna look around. I'm gonna spot.
56:18
Case
All right. There's no one. Again, there's no one in this cabin. But the. The ship has more than one chamber. Oh, okay.
56:23
Addy
Sorry.
56:24
Case
I.
56:24
Addy
All right, so I'm gonna go ahead and check on the cockpit. In the cockpit to see if the. The pilot. Any of the pilots are alive.
56:31
Case
All right, you head on in. And on your way there, you pass through a sort of computer terminal that looks like it's for longer term charting and message communication. There's no one in there except for a broken droid. And then as you continue your way through, you come to the cockpit. There is just Fender. He is alive, but he's lying down on the cockpit control computer, and he's unconscious. Well, first, give me a will save 15. Okay. You find it in you to use your Force powers one more time to sort of revive him. Give me another. Heal. Another. Check. Yeah, thanks.
57:26
Ben
20.
57:27
Shawn
23. No.
57:28
Case
Oh, wow. Okay, so, Fender, you just grew a third arm. You actually have six vitality points left at the moment, and you're at five full wound points. He healed you both a little bit of your vitality and your wounds. He did a really good job invigorating you, so you're actually feeling okay. Like, you sort of come alive and you're. You're definitely freaked out. You were unconscious, but you. You don't have any, like, particular spot. You're like, Heart's racing. You definitely feel like you're in a state of agitation, but there's no, like, direct pain. There's no exact wound. All right, so how do you react? Last thing you know, you were starting to take off towards the atmosphere.
58:30
Shawn
Force. Damn it. What happened? Is everyone. The ship, is it still operational? Must check. Everything's shot, Everything's fried. What the.
58:44
Case
For sure. What do you say to him?
58:46
Addy
Will we ever. We have a few survivors, but we need to.
58:49
Case
We're.
58:53
Shawn
Spit it out, man.
58:59
Cory
It's like.
59:00
Ben
It's brain damage.
59:03
Cory
He's in character, guys. He's been healing all day.
59:08
Addy
Oh, come on.
59:09
Case
He's been through an accident.
59:17
Shawn
Are there any survivors? Where.
59:21
Ben
Where are.
59:21
Addy
Where exactly are we? Can you. Do you know where we are?
59:24
Shawn
The last. No coordinates. It's got us somewhere in sector 27B31. About 10.
59:32
Case
He's making up right now.
59:35
Shawn
We gotta be 10 clicks from base.
59:37
Case
You guys are pretty much. You guys are pretty much flying straight up and got shot down and then came down at some sort of arc so you have no idea which way you guys fell?
59:47
Ben
10 click said so far.
59:49
Case
He is clearly gibbering.
59:51
Shawn
I know. I'm pretty sure it's 10 click.
59:52
Ben
I thought he was doing good.
59:54
Case
He's making a very convincing argument. But he also, like, no reason for knowing any of this. The computer systems are all down, by the way. Like, everything's on operational.
01:00:06
Ben
Yeah, so much for that throw.
01:00:08
Case
So we're gonna cut over to hoof flung dung.
01:00:12
Cory
All right, so I've made it to the door and I'm activating my night vision goggles.
01:00:16
Ben
In the daytime.
01:00:17
Cory
Is it daytime still?
01:00:18
Case
It is still daytime.
01:00:21
Cory
I'm still dazed.
01:00:25
Case
I do see a Gungan running out in the stall. No, it's daytime when you got. When you woke up, remember? Oh, like light was coming in through the.
01:00:34
Addy
Well, I haven't been out of the ship yet.
01:00:36
Ben
Right.
01:00:36
Case
Oh, no, but it was like.
01:00:37
Shawn
Yeah, there's no roof.
01:00:39
Addy
Yeah.
01:00:40
Case
Yeah.
01:00:41
Cory
Well, apparently my four wound points were towards vision.
01:00:44
Case
Well, he just runs out and he, like, puts the goggles on.
01:00:47
Ben
It's like,
01:00:50
Shawn
Exactly.
01:00:51
Case
What happened.
01:00:52
Cory
All right, so what do I see? I'm, like, looking around into the distance.
01:00:57
Case
Okay, give me. Do you have spot?
01:01:00
Ben
Because there's one burned into your eye now.
01:01:05
Cory
Negative two.
01:01:06
Case
Give me that roll.
01:01:08
Cory
Giving you the roll.
01:01:09
Ben
Come on. Big money, big money. We're looking for high numbers. High numbers.
01:01:13
Shawn
12.
01:01:13
Case
So total 10. All right. You don't hear or. Pardon? You don't see anything immediately around you. You're deeper in the forest than where the temple is. And so it's. Do you have listen also? Give me a listen check. You can do that without.
01:01:31
Cory
Okay. It says. Okay.
01:01:34
Case
What is it?
01:01:35
Cory
Well, it says zero initially, but then there's a two, like, right next to it.
01:01:40
Case
It's a two and a negative two. Yeah. Yeah. So it's zero. You have. Yeah.
01:01:47
Shawn
Five.
01:01:48
Addy
Five.
01:01:49
Case
It. It's silent. Like, you think you hear some, like, small animal noises, but you think that's it. Like, there's. You don't hear any Imperials near you. You don't see any, like, interaction between the sky and down on the planet. Like, it seems that, like, the firefight has kind of ended.
01:02:11
Cory
Okay.
01:02:11
Case
As far as you can tell. All right.
01:02:13
Cory
And then I'm gonna turn around. I'm gonna look for other survivors, too. I didn't do that first. So now I'm making sure everyone's okay. I know I'm safe now you.
01:02:22
Ben
God, you really aren't smart, are you?
01:02:27
Cory
Guess not.
01:02:27
Case
You walk. Once you've surveyed the outside you look back into the ship in the, like towards the. The main, like, rear sections, like, where there's like back, like turrets on the backsides for defense. And you see that older Gungan lying there in. At one of like the gun turrets dead. Like, clearly, like there's. There was like a lot of like, fire and like he's been fairly burned.
01:02:59
Shawn
Up.
01:03:02
Case
From damage on the inside of the ship. And the. The. There's two gunner chambers. The other one, there's just a human. You don't know that human, but he's also dead. In this case. It looks like that chamber specifically was punctured and he was impaled by just shards of glass as they collapsed onto the earth. All right, all right. But you walk back into the. The main chamber where there's the majority of the passengers. At this point, Fosho and. And fender pickup have walked back into there, and Filius Voskiller is. Is lying there still farting. What do you do? Any of you? Not Philly. She's unconscious.
01:03:54
Ben
I can't do anything.
01:03:55
Shawn
Okay, fair.
01:03:57
Case
Let's give me a will Save.
01:04:00
Ben
I will save. I failed.
01:04:07
Case
4. You are still unconscious.
01:04:10
Ben
Yes, I am.
01:04:13
Case
All right, he's still lying there. He lets out a rip.
01:04:16
Addy
Moving to the other side of the cabin. Because I don't want to endanger myself with more vile gases.
01:04:25
Cory
I can see them. I'm clearly in the same room now, right? Yeah, yeah. I checked outside already. Coast is clear. We're good. Is everybody okay in here? They're not okay in there.
01:04:34
Addy
Well, I wanna. Should I go. I want to go into another cabin and check for any more survivors because.
01:04:40
Case
We'Ve already checked the control room with what he's checked. That's everything at that point. But yeah, you. You've looked around pretty well at this point.
01:04:50
Addy
So right now I want to find any additional weapons we can so that we. And get any supplies so that we can to see what we have.
01:04:59
Shawn
What?
01:05:01
Case
I'm good.
01:05:01
Ben
Don't worry about me.
01:05:06
Case
All right, so you guys look around. All right, so you guys find a pair of macro binoculars, six med packs.
01:05:17
Cory
I'll also give you the med pack.
01:05:19
Shawn
Sure.
01:05:21
Addy
Well, you carry the med packs in case I can. Like, I'm out. Can't use it since I already have heal.
01:05:30
Case
A Vibro dagger.
01:05:34
Addy
Yeah, I'll grab the dagger.
01:05:35
Cory
Yeah, I already have a gun. I'm also looking around.
01:05:38
Addy
Well, oh, wait, no, I have a stun baton. So you take the. The dagger.
01:05:42
Cory
I already have a blaster. I'll Take the dagger.
01:05:45
Case
Hold on. Just. Just note it in your inventory. And that's it. Of usable material. A lot of stuff has been damaged in the fall. It was impressive that his gun survived. And Fender's gun is still okay because it was in the cockpit with him, and it just, like, locked into a position wisely. But, yeah, a lot of damage happened. Like, people are. Clothing is torn. Not a lot of stuff really remained intact in the fall.
01:06:16
Cory
Is there a window I can look out of?
01:06:18
Case
There are several broken windows and a giant open hole in the top of the ship.
01:06:24
Ben
That he can look out.
01:06:25
Case
Of.
01:06:27
Shawn
Physically look out of.
01:06:33
Case
The exit holes are at about the bottom of the treeline, so it's a little bit higher up than if you were standing outside when you're looking out.
01:06:40
Shawn
About 10 clicks.
01:06:41
Cory
About 10 clicks.
01:06:42
Shawn
Right.
01:06:43
Case
You counted, and you can look straight up into the sky. Give me a spot check.
01:06:49
Shawn
Seven.
01:06:52
Case
Okay. The sky just looks clear to you?
01:06:57
Cory
I'm walking over to his character because he's still unconscious. So how do we wake him up?
01:07:03
Addy
I'm gonna try another heal on him to see if that'll finally get him. Get him awake.
01:07:08
Case
Okay.
01:07:09
Cory
And I have med packs if we need it.
01:07:12
Case
Yeah, that could work, too. Which one?
01:07:14
Cory
Try your heal first. So let's save the med packs.
01:07:16
Ben
Wait, isn't he still. Isn't he fatigued?
01:07:22
Case
He is, but I. I'll say that he could take some time on this one. Like this.
01:07:27
Addy
Now that we've checked everything.
01:07:28
Case
Yeah, you've checked everything. And you seem secure. Now. This is going to take a little bit of time for you to do it, however, before you feel strong enough. So like, maybe, like an hour or two.
01:07:35
Addy
Okay.
01:07:37
Ben
Or you could use the med pack.
01:07:39
Cory
I'll just use one of the med packs.
01:07:41
Case
He uses one of the med packs.
01:07:42
Ben
Thank you.
01:07:44
Case
Thank you.
01:07:44
Cory
Do I need a roll for that?
01:07:46
Case
I got it.
01:07:46
Cory
All right.
01:07:48
Case
All right, Ben, you are awake, and they've healed you back up to full wound points. Okay, nice. But you have no vitality points at the moment. Okay.
01:07:58
Ben
Hey.
01:07:58
Shawn
Hey.
01:07:59
Cory
You all right? You feeling good?
01:08:00
Ben
Much better. Thank you.
01:08:02
Cory
Get your pants on real quick, big guy.
01:08:04
Ben
Wait, why aren't my pants on? Was that freaky little force user near me again?
01:08:12
Case
Let's just say give him a bluff. Check. Eight to.
01:08:22
Addy
Okay, what do I add? Bluff.
01:08:24
Case
Bluffs of skill.
01:08:27
Ben
Under skills.
01:08:28
Addy
Oh, it's even worth seven.
01:08:30
Case
It's a seven.
01:08:31
Shawn
Yeah.
01:08:32
Case
No failures. Give me a sense motive.
01:08:36
Ben
Check. 14.
01:08:51
Case
You know that he was, like, all up on you when he was trying to heal you. And stuff. Definitely not. Damn it. Like awkward. Like. Oh, no. I. I know. This can't even work.
01:09:04
Ben
I can't even see your face.
01:09:05
Case
What are you doing to me?
01:09:07
Addy
Wait, so you are reefed that you've thought enough?
01:09:09
Ben
You know what?
01:09:10
Addy
Bob has to see the face.
01:09:12
Ben
Oh, I hate you so much. Why couldn't you been melted in one of these seats? Creep.
01:09:21
Case
All right, all right.
01:09:22
Ben
What's your status? What's going on?
01:09:24
Cory
I checked outside, everything's clear. Looked out the window, it's just clear skies.
01:09:28
Ben
How can it possibly be clear? That was like an entire 4 seconds.
01:09:32
Cory
Can't explain it. It's just for where we. Wherever we are. I think we're 10 clicks.
01:09:36
Ben
I'm not sure. What? What makes you think we're 10 clicks?
01:09:40
Cory
Someone clicked 10 times.
01:09:41
Case
That's what vendor said.
01:09:43
Ben
He's crazy.
01:09:45
Addy
He's never even been on a full insane.
01:09:48
Ben
He's. He's a pilot who's afraid to fly. You're taking math equations from this guy? All right, listen. What are our supplies? What's our. Like, what do we have?
01:09:59
Cory
All right, we found a. A dagger. We have six med packs. Five med packs now.
01:10:03
Ben
Thank you.
01:10:04
Case
You're welcome.
01:10:04
Ben
You're welcome. Thank you. And.
01:10:08
Cory
My flight suit is still on, correct?
01:10:10
Case
Yes, it is.
01:10:11
Ben
All right, somebody likes to show off. All right.
01:10:14
Cory
Okay.
01:10:16
Case
But like the arms would come off like the. So that you kind of look like a flight suit version of Jar right now. But you're showing off your like your lack of guns because your strength is so low.
01:10:27
Cory
Sorry.
01:10:29
Ben
Man can dream how you even hold that suit up. All right.
01:10:35
Case
Foe, we gotta figure out.
01:10:37
Ben
How to work together, man. Like, I don't really like you. You don't really like me in the same way. We gotta make this work though. We gotta survive this.
01:10:48
Case
Hey, everyone give me listen checks.
01:10:51
Cory
I'm still propped up against the window too.
01:10:53
Case
Yeah, in fact, you get advantage on this one because you're actually looking out. Okay, so roll yours twice and take the better result.
01:11:01
Ben
22.
01:11:02
Case
All right.
01:11:03
Shawn
Am I supposed to roll here?
01:11:05
Case
Yes, please. Roll and then hit a list and.
01:11:07
Ben
Then do your listen adjustment.
01:11:09
Shawn
18.
01:11:10
Ben
18 plus.
01:11:10
Shawn
So 18.
01:11:12
Ben
Oh, it's listen. Zero.
01:11:14
Case
Okay, so 18, 17. Oh, wow, you guys all hear it in the distance. You hear. It's a. It's a bunch of small noises, but together it's a very loud. Like.
01:11:32
Cory
Those damn dirty apes.
01:11:34
Ben
We're in Planet of the Apes.
01:11:37
Case
But again, it's a lot. It's. It's this rumble of like all Those sounds together, it's. You think there's like a. A herd moving through of something, Some kind of arboreal creature? I'm going say, here's something.
01:11:51
Ben
All right.
01:11:52
Case
Okay, let's.
01:11:54
Ben
Is everybody. Is everybody ready? Like, can we. Can we get out of here? Can we just, like, get out the other side?
01:11:59
Addy
Yeah, we do.
01:12:00
Case
We need to get out.
01:12:00
Ben
All right, let's get out of this thing and let's find some cover about another 10 clicks away.
01:12:05
Shawn
So is it just four of us or do we have. Do we notice the four of us? Just the four of us.
01:12:10
Ben
It's just the four of us. We can make it if we try.
01:12:14
Case
It's a pretty sad time to be singing. You're on a ship of maybe, like 60 people.
01:12:19
Ben
I like those odds.
01:12:23
Case
The train went off the rails and no one survived except for one person. Miraculously was unhurt.
01:12:29
Cory
All right, where's the nearest exit?
01:12:31
Case
All right, so you've already been outside, so it's just. It's a door back.
01:12:35
Ben
So.
01:12:35
Case
Yeah, next door back.
01:12:36
Ben
Let's go.
01:12:36
Case
Emergency exit.
01:12:37
Ben
All right. Okay, let's go, let's go.
01:12:41
Case
Everybody. Out of here.
01:12:41
Ben
Out of here. Out of here.
01:12:42
Case
So you guys come out, you don't see anything. There's no, like, visible creatures, but you're in amidst the treeline right now. And actually, that's kind of the problem. Like I said, you're in a denser section than where the. Where the rebel base was, so you don't have really good visibility. Where do you guys want to go? You can't really see that well around you. You can really only look straight up or see trees.
01:13:04
Cory
We need to find another escape pod.
01:13:07
Ben
Okay, that's a good idea.
01:13:09
Shawn
Yeah, but I know these sounds. My scouting experience. These are the emerald walker creatures that live east of our base. We want to.
01:13:18
Case
Hey, give me a knowledge nature check so I can give you real information.
01:13:21
Shawn
I have a lot of actually. Minus one.
01:13:25
Ben
All right, roll your die.
01:13:26
Case
Minus one. Wait, your knowledge nature is not minus one.
01:13:29
Shawn
Knowledge. Nature. There's knowledge. Knowledge, knowledge.
01:13:36
Case
It's a seven.
01:13:37
Shawn
Where is it? Oh, nature. It's a seven.
01:13:42
Ben
So roll your die. Plus seven.
01:13:43
Shawn
Okay.
01:13:45
Case
It's like that's your second highest skill.
01:13:47
Ben
Plus seven.
01:13:47
Shawn
23.
01:13:49
Case
Okay, so you have identified those. The noises as woolamanders. They are native arboreal creatures out of game. They look like parrot monkeys, like monkeys with, like, bright colors, but specifically for, like, I guess more peacock monkeys. For.
01:14:13
Ben
This is my kind of monkey.
01:14:19
Case
Yeah, so you don't. What.
01:14:19
Ben
You know, about them, long arms.
01:14:21
Case
These are native creatures to Yavin 4, but you don't really know. Well, you know, actually, I'll say this. You know quite a bit about them. You know that they are generally fairly harmless. They are about the size of. Well, they're like given sized out of game. So you know, a small creature, but big enough that it could do some damage if it tried to attack you. Especially a bunch of them. And that they. Like I said, they're for the most part harmless except for when like, riled up. And they move in these big pods of like 40 or 50.
01:14:58
Shawn
What's the name of these creatures again?
01:14:59
Case
Willamanders.
01:15:00
Shawn
So the Willamanders, they're known for living east of our base. The second base is three clicks west. So we want to head that way, away from the sound.
01:15:10
Cory
Are they dangerous?
01:15:11
Shawn
They are dangerous in numbers. You do not want to.
01:15:14
Case
With these bad sand people. I'll say this. So, yeah, so you got. You know that you landed east because that was where the predominant sightings of these creatures were. So you want to go west if you want to get back to your base. I do.
01:15:27
Ben
No, I do not think we should go back to the base. The Imperials are going to be there searching that place for any kind of.
01:15:32
Addy
We also want another ship.
01:15:34
Shawn
We want to go to Outpost 7, which was to the west.
01:15:38
Ben
Further west? You want to go further west? Is there an outpost? Anybody ever heard of an Outpost 7?
01:15:45
Cory
I haven't.
01:15:45
Ben
This guy took a blow to the head. He's making shit up.
01:15:49
Cory
What does he know? He's afraid to fly. He's never seen anything off the ground.
01:15:52
Shawn
I've scouted. I have scouting skills.
01:15:57
Case
There is no Outpost 7. In fact, since you only have a vague concept of that, you are east, theoretically, of the base. You don't have a perfectly clear understanding of how far or what the layout of everything between where you are and there is.
01:16:12
Ben
Can I see above the tree line at all? Except for the guys.
01:16:16
Case
Not where you're standing.
01:16:17
Ben
Is there anywhere where I can climb.
01:16:21
Case
To the top of the ship? Yes. Yeah.
01:16:23
Ben
Do you need a roll?
01:16:25
Case
Yes. Give me a climb check. Give me a climb check. He says you guys are allowed to help him out, by the way. Everyone can do climb, even if you're not proficient in it. And if you roll above a 10, you can give him a plus two to his check to sort of help.
01:16:39
Ben
Because I need help to help lift.
01:16:41
Case
Him up, you know, I'm at an 8. Got an 11.
01:16:44
Cory
Whoa, whoa. You already had your fun.
01:16:47
Addy
I'm first one up there I just rolled already.
01:16:49
Ben
Get your hand off my ass.
01:16:51
Case
You guys are allowed to help him.
01:16:54
Ben
You rolled an 11.
01:16:55
Cory
I rolled an 11.
01:16:56
Shawn
15.
01:16:58
Case
Okay, so all of you help him sort of like hoist up to the. The side windows, which were too small to climb through. Like, you could see out, but you wouldn't have been able to, like, go out through those windows from the inside the ship. So you're able to grab onto those and pull yourself up as a natural handhold. And you pull yourself up to the top of the ship, and you can see that the damage to it is atrocious. The blast that hit it, like I said, superheated everything and melted inward. So it almost looks like I've seen.
01:17:34
Ben
Anything like that before.
01:17:35
Case
For. Yeah, you've seen this in and in damage from Imperial ships. Like, this was just a really big cannon from a Star Destroyer.
01:17:45
Ben
Gotcha.
01:17:46
Case
Okay. This wasn't like some sort of super weapon or anything like that. It does kind of look like a whirlpool, though, of, like, the melted metal pooling inwards into the opening. It's pretty fucked up looking.
01:17:58
Ben
Okay, nice. All right, can I. If I. Can I survey above the tree line? Yeah, yeah.
01:18:03
Case
Give me spot checks.
01:18:07
Ben
17. 24.
01:18:15
Case
Okay. You see what looks like a few of those cylinders that you had seen before? Yeah. A little bit southwest of you. Okay. It looks like a cluster. So you think that might be where, like, they did sort of like a landing zone and like, have set up sort of like a temporary base outside.
01:18:32
Ben
Okay.
01:18:34
Case
You also see Imperial ships landed all around the base. I can see the base. Yeah, you can see it in the distance. So you know, like those, like.
01:18:45
Ben
Would you say we're east of the base?
01:18:47
Case
You are east of the base.
01:18:48
Ben
Oh, wow. Hey, way to go. You got one, right?
01:18:51
Shawn
I'm just waiting, man. I'm happy to be here.
01:18:53
Case
In the distance, you can see two of the. The rebel escape ships that have not taken off.
01:18:58
Addy
Okay.
01:18:59
Case
And you can also see the tops of a few of those Imperial transport ships that are closer to those cylindrical areas or like that Imperial camp.
01:19:07
Ben
Gotcha. All right, I'm gonna do it. Can I do another spot check and just look to see if I see anything else that catches my eye.
01:19:15
Case
Yeah.
01:19:17
Ben
While I'm up here, because I don't want to climb back up.
01:19:20
Case
11 There is to the. It's northwest of you, but not like it's barely west. It's mostly north at this point. It's not. So if the rebel base I'm making great radio right now is here. That is the direction. You see an outcropping of a. A temple looking structure. It's much more overgrown than the one that the rebels had used.
01:19:52
Cory
Okay, I'm looking towards the noise of the Apes.
01:19:57
Case
Not far from that temple. You see a little bit of smoke coming up. Oh, odd.
01:20:06
Ben
All right, I'm coming down, guys. Help me down.
01:20:11
Case
I'll say you carefully let yourself down.
01:20:14
Ben
Thank you.
01:20:15
Case
Looking at you, creepo.
01:20:18
Ben
Okay, here's.
01:20:19
Case
Although as you climb down, it almost feels like some sort of force is like making yourself just slowly.
01:20:26
Addy
I just want to make sure you gently get it to the ground.
01:20:29
Case
It feels nice. It does.
01:20:30
Addy
Do you really want to take more wound damage?
01:20:33
Ben
Not the way you're planning on giving it to me.
01:20:35
Shawn
He's forcing you down.
01:20:39
Cory
It's okay to like you. Shh.
01:20:41
Ben
Let it happen. Okay, here's the situation, guys. We are in fact east of the Temple. A little bit east of west of here.
01:20:52
Case
Yeah, you guys are west or you're east of it. A little west of it of you is the.
01:20:56
Ben
Is the Temple. Yeah, is our original location. There are still some rebel transport ships that are there. There's also some Empire transport ships that are there. And a bunch of those tubes are in a landing zone nearby. Closer to the Empire ships, Sort of like an outpost. Looks like a landing. I would call maybe a landing zone.
01:21:20
Case
Yeah, that's closer to you by the way.
01:21:22
Ben
The LZ is closer. So we're have to get around that or through it somehow to get to the other ships to get out of here. Also, anybody remember hearing anything about like some temple looking place? Has anybody heard of that?
01:21:36
Addy
All over the planet, including the temple that we have the base at.
01:21:40
Case
Give me either a knowledge lore religion check or a knowledge nature check. Who. I don't think you can do this role. I have scores.
01:21:54
Addy
I've got a lot.
01:21:55
Ben
Because I don't know what my knowledge skills are.
01:21:57
Shawn
I have the knowledge nature, but I think we.
01:21:59
Addy
I have knowledge of Jedi lore.
01:22:01
Shawn
So.
01:22:03
Case
Yeah. So what was yours?
01:22:04
Shawn
23.
01:22:04
Case
And yours 11. Okay, so you know that there were Temple or foe. You know that there were Temples established on this planet. You know that there was some sort of activity during the drag ulch period on this moon, but you don't even really know the specifics of it. It's just not something you're really taught. And for Fender, you know that scouting teams which would have might have included yourself when you guys were all maintaining the base and surveying to make sure it was like A safe place to be. You know that there was reports of certain structures found in the area that might have been one of them.
01:22:49
Case
You don't know that much about it specifically, but you do know that it's not weird that this landscape is sort of, like, peppered with them, but there is one in particular that's, like, really well preserved. So it's like very overgrown, but it's not like, clasped in on itself or just like rubble. And that might be what he's seeing.
01:23:10
Shawn
Yes, this temple is very overgrown, where were unable to get through to actually survey the area. But if we follow the river along, at least straight to that temple, we can get a closer look.
01:23:28
Cory
While they're talking, I'm looking towards the direction of the noise, the ape noises. Do I see anything at this point?
01:23:33
Case
No, you don't see anything. And it's kind of all around you. It's hard to really say. You can be in one direction, just out into the trees.
01:23:40
Cory
Got it.
01:23:41
Case
All right, what do you guys want to do?
01:23:43
Ben
All right, do we head to the temple or do we head for a ship?
01:23:46
Addy
I want to head for a ship.
01:23:47
Ben
I don't know if we can, says the religious guy.
01:23:49
Cory
We just got shot out of the sky. You think it's gonna happen again now that they have more ships on the ground? We gotta find out something. We got to find out what's going on.
01:23:56
Ben
I mean, if we take off on a rebel ship, yeah, we're gonna get blasted out of the sky. But if we could get one of the Imperial ships, We might be able to use the codes to get through.
01:24:05
Cory
Who here is not afraid to fly?
01:24:13
Ben
Oh, everybody but the pilot flies slowly.
01:24:18
Addy
Yeah, we're going to need an Imperial.
01:24:19
Shawn
I'll get us there in a good amount of time. Slowly.
01:24:23
Cory
All right, I said we do that. Did you see anything?
01:24:26
Case
Well, here's the thing we got to figure out.
01:24:28
Ben
Are we going to go around the Imperial landing zone? We're going to try and not, you know, set traps. And I'd like to go around it.
01:24:36
Addy
And scout it so that we can see what we're. What we're dealing with at. At this base.
01:24:41
Ben
I mean, this is pretty thick forest. Like, I don't know if it's going to be much better until, like, you come into it, you know, step out of the growth into the clearing. Like, I don't know that it's gonna. I mean, obviously we don't want to walk right into their base, but we're gonna get lost in that. That brush.
01:25:00
Case
All right, it Sounds like you've got someone who is a scout.
01:25:03
Shawn
Yes.
01:25:04
Ben
All right. Scout.
01:25:06
Case
All right, great.
01:25:06
Ben
Why don't you go ahead and we'll follow.
01:25:11
Shawn
All right, I'm going to roll.
01:25:13
Case
All right. Which way are you going?
01:25:15
Shawn
West. Correct.
01:25:18
Case
Towards what? You have a little bit. Okay. You have a little. Basically, if you think of it as maybe if you think of it as a clock for north, south, east, west. At 11 o' clock is that overgrown temple that Ben saw. At 10:30 is that plume of smoke that Phalias saw.
01:25:43
Ben
I forgot to mention that, but whatever.
01:25:45
Case
Right.
01:25:46
Ben
I thought it was associated with the temple.
01:25:48
Case
No, it's not exactly. It's like out in the trees, but it's nearby it. At 9 o' clock is the rebel base and at 8:30 is the Imperial landing zone.
01:26:02
Shawn
I'm gonna go 10:30 with the smoke. One we met fellow rebels that might need help and it could be a work of ship. You can't go towards the base because it could be overrun with imperial troops.
01:26:15
Ben
I mean it most certainly is gonna be overrun.
01:26:17
Shawn
The temple. We're not Taurus here, we're not sightseeing.
01:26:20
Case
I'm not sharing that plan with everyone. Or are you gonna like walk into the woods and then lead them towards it without them realizing it?
01:26:29
Shawn
I'm gonna take a vote and go towards the smoke. You can go back to rebel base and hope that has been overrun by Imperial troops. Or go towards the temple where there's nothing there. That's a temple smoke.
01:26:42
Cory
Yeah, but does anyone know has anything that we can use to get off this? This?
01:26:47
Ben
It might best just to lay low for a while.
01:26:49
Cory
Yeah, lay low.
01:26:51
Case
Let's be clear. Rebel base versus temple. Those are two different things, right? Or smoke. Yeah, or smoke. I'm just. So we're not saying temple and base like. Right, right.
01:26:59
Ben
I. I say we go. Go to the smoke.
01:27:01
Shawn
I was heading for smoke.
01:27:02
Case
Going to the smoke.
01:27:03
Cory
Yeah.
01:27:03
Case
All right. It looks like it's about a half a day's walk through this brush. It's not super far, but because it's so dense, it's going to take a little while.
01:27:10
Ben
Like seven clicks.
01:27:11
Shawn
Seven clicks I say.
01:27:12
Case
Yeah, 7.2 clicks give or take. So as you're getting close to it, everyone give me an initiative roll please. Okay, so leaping out on top of Fender.
01:27:33
Ben
He is in the lead.
01:27:36
Case
Comes this creature. It is a. It's fanged and buck toothed. It is about the size of.
01:27:48
Shawn
Sounds like Kearson dunst.
01:27:53
Case
It's about the size of a pitbull.
01:27:55
Ben
Yeah, you got it right.
01:27:58
Case
And it leaps right at fender and. All right. So it slashes at you with its claws. It's a centaur or staul. It's sort of. It is, as with most creatures in on this world, because it's so heavily forested, it is somewhat arboreal, although it. It prefers to be on the ground. Very large. It's kind of a rodent like creature. And this one looks particularly famished.
01:28:29
Shawn
Startled.
01:28:30
Cory
I drop to my knee and I point my weapon since I'm the only one with a gun.
01:28:33
Case
Well, hold on.
01:28:34
Shawn
Oh, I have the blood.
01:28:35
Case
So, Sean, you're first up. This creature is on top of you. So if you try to shoot it, you would provoke an attack of opportunity because raising its gun, it would. It would be enough of an opening for it to attack you again.
01:28:52
Shawn
So let's see what I have here.
01:28:54
Case
You can try to get away from it. Yeah.
01:28:59
Shawn
Push a skill.
01:29:04
Case
So it is a grappling check.
01:29:07
Shawn
Okay, well, I'm at minus one. I just rolled the 15.
01:29:12
Case
So 14. All right. Yeah, that's. That's sufficient to shove it off. So that I'll say shoving and sort of backing up. That was your move that you can do like your movement action. You would be able to draw your weapon in fire. However, so you took a, like a. A two meter step back and drew your weapon after you shoved it. Four plus your shot, which I think is not very zero. So four. You miss it?
01:29:44
Ben
No, badly.
01:29:47
Case
But mainly you sort of like shoved it and like in the panic to pull out your gun, you sort of just hit the ground next to it. Next up is Corey. You're. You're a go.
01:29:57
Cory
I'm a go. At that point, I had already dropped to my knees to point my weapon. Now I'm thinking I should shoot, but I'm assessing the situation if I would hit him or. What's the angle?
01:30:13
Case
He's clear. He's clear.
01:30:15
Cory
All right, I'm gonna go ahead and take a shot.
01:30:18
Case
Okay. Give me an attack. Right.
01:30:21
Cory
All right.
01:30:21
Ben
Six, please miss.
01:30:24
Shawn
Hit.
01:30:24
Ben
Sean, what am I.
01:30:30
Case
You also miss with that shot.
01:30:32
Ben
Oh, me too.
01:30:35
Case
Okay, next up is Phelius.
01:30:41
Ben
How far is this thing from me?
01:30:44
Case
It's. It's about 2 meters away from you.
01:30:45
Ben
You're.
01:30:46
Case
You guys were all like relatively close together when it left out.
01:30:52
Ben
Knife attack. I'm just going to jump on it with my. And with my knife.
01:30:55
Addy
Okay.
01:30:55
Case
Did you pick. Did you get that vibro blade from them or. Nope, they never gave. So you just have the knife. Okay.
01:31:00
Ben
I only have the knife.
01:31:01
Case
All right, now, you're also pretty good with a.
01:31:03
Ben
With a.
01:31:03
Case
Your fist also. Do you want to hit him? Try to fisting him. Yeah. You've got martial arts, so you should have third row down. You should have unarmed strikes.
01:31:18
Cory
Now he's thinking it.
01:31:19
Addy
Now he doesn't want to do anything else.
01:31:24
Case
Where is this at? Third weapon down in your list of weapons. You should have unarmed strike written in.
01:31:31
Ben
I do not have anything written in my weapons.
01:31:35
Case
Sure. Let me see.
01:31:35
Addy
It was. It would have been typed in.
01:31:37
Ben
Oh, there it is. On arm strike. Yeah, it is.
01:31:39
Shawn
Okay.
01:31:39
Case
Got it.
01:31:40
Ben
Okay. Yeah, I guess. Yeah, because I do better damage with that. Barely then with a knife, which doesn't make sense, but. Okay.
01:31:47
Case
That is weird. Wait.
01:31:49
Ben
I'm really good at unarmed strikes.
01:31:51
Case
Wait, but you're.
01:31:52
Ben
I do more damage than a knife.
01:31:54
Addy
Clumsy as you are, stupid.
01:31:59
Case
It's not true.
01:32:03
Ben
Lower than my intelligence.
01:32:04
Case
Ben, they are the same.
01:32:06
Ben
Well, then why do you have one die? Four plus one.
01:32:09
Case
Your knife should do the same also. Because it's plus, adding your strength.
01:32:12
Ben
Oh, it adds strength.
01:32:13
Case
Yeah. Okay, but I'm saying you could actually slash and, like, punch it. If you wanted to do some kind of thing, you would just take a minus to both your.
01:32:26
Ben
I feel good about just knifing it.
01:32:28
Case
Okay.
01:32:28
Ben
I just want to knife it. I'm a simple man. I'm not a smart man. Oh, I'm also a clumsy man.
01:32:38
Addy
Don't you have handle animal?
01:32:40
Ben
I got a four.
01:32:42
Shawn
Bringing a knife to a gun fight.
01:32:44
Cory
That's not a knife.
01:32:46
Ben
Smacks it out of my hand.
01:32:50
Case
It's sort of like when you try. When you try to knife it sort of hops away. And so you, like, try to stab it, but instead you, like, stab at the ground.
01:32:58
Ben
Great.
01:32:59
Case
All right, Addy, you're up.
01:33:01
Addy
All right, so I want to fear Adam so that it'll run away.
01:33:06
Case
Okay. You have ranks and fear.
01:33:08
Ben
Yep.
01:33:08
Addy
Okay, so that's. It's just a D20 and that and the skill, right?
01:33:15
Case
Yep.
01:33:16
Ben
Come on, Addie.
01:33:17
Shawn
Foe.
01:33:18
Cory
We choose you Use your fear attack.
01:33:20
Addy
16.
01:33:22
Ben
I used your Fury.
01:33:25
Case
Wow. It makes it nice. Yeah. It makes it safe. Yes, it makes it safe.
01:33:32
Ben
It's not afraid.
01:33:34
Case
No, no, guys, I. I rolled a 20.
01:33:37
Ben
That thing's not afraid of your Fear attack.
01:33:41
Cory
Not effective.
01:33:44
Ben
You know what? We changed our mind about choosing you.
01:33:46
Case
You. Yeah.
01:33:48
Ben
Take it back. Our bad.
01:33:48
Addy
Take it back.
01:33:49
Ben
Our bad.
01:33:50
Cory
Back in the ball.
01:33:51
Case
Yeah. So it resists. Yeah, it. It does look diffused for a second, though. It. It's not Fully.
01:34:00
Addy
So stop. We've stopped it for a second.
01:34:02
Case
It's like thinking, but it doesn't run away.
01:34:04
Addy
So do I have time for another action?
01:34:06
Case
Yeah, well, actually, what it does is you delay it so it. It's confused for its round. And now we're back up to Sean. Yes.
01:34:12
Ben
Kill it, Sean. Kill it with your blaster rifle.
01:34:17
Shawn
All right, here we go. 16.
01:34:24
Case
That was to shoot him. Yep, yep, that hits. So roll for damage. I think the blaster was what, 3D6? That actually kills it.
01:34:33
Shawn
Yes.
01:34:34
Case
So it goes down.
01:34:35
Shawn
Murderer.
01:34:37
Ben
Animal.
01:34:38
Case
So describe what it looks like when you shoot the thing and it dies. Remember, it looks kind of like a large monkey combined with a rat.
01:34:48
Shawn
So this looks like something I've seen out of side a ghetto yummy restaurant on the back alley.
01:34:57
Ben
What the hell is he talking about?
01:34:59
Shawn
Who's hungry, right?
01:35:04
Case
He's not afraid for flight.
01:35:05
Addy
You've been all over the place.
01:35:06
Shawn
Galaxy yum. Eat him up.
01:35:07
Case
I feel like his authorian's like some sort of like, crazed Cajun.
01:35:12
Ben
Crazed Cajun, slash.
01:35:13
Case
It's like that gumbo that mama always served down in the back alley. I better not be flying today.
01:35:18
Ben
Like Cliff Clavin met the chef.
01:35:21
Shawn
Oh, Creole cooking tonight, boys. Yeah.
01:35:28
Case
Like he is the Budweiser frogs.
01:35:32
Shawn
I think I found my character now.
01:35:34
Case
Back in the bayou.
01:35:38
Shawn
Why?
01:35:41
Case
All right, Cory, you're up. Oh, sorry. It's dead.
01:35:45
Ben
Kill it again, Cory.
01:35:46
Cory
Kill it again.
01:35:48
Case
So you guys. You guys kill it and do you want to look over the body or anything or.
01:35:56
Shawn
No, I'd rather just walk on.
01:35:58
Addy
Okay.
01:36:00
Case
So you keep on walking and you come to a campsite that the. It looks like there was. It was clearly a man made fire, but it's been put out and it's still smoking a little bit. But it. There's no direct signs of any sort of equipment or anything. You can't tell who did it, but it was definitely like. Like people.
01:36:27
Addy
So I want to check to see if there's any food or anything left over nearby, since we didn't grab anything.
01:36:35
Case
You find the remains of some animals, but there's no salvageable meat or anything off of it. But definitely one or two creatures, like those rodents that you just fought had been killed and then feasted upon.
01:36:50
Ben
Like, it looks.
01:36:51
Case
It's like body parts are, like, strewn about. Like, the ribs are in one section. Most of them are over by the. Or like by the fire, like, but you see some remaining, like, clean bones.
01:37:03
Cory
I'm scouting behind us where we just came from. Just watching our Back. Do I see anything?
01:37:08
Case
Give me a listen check.
01:37:13
Cory
I gotta get a new app.
01:37:16
Case
4. You don't hear anything back that way.
01:37:22
Ben
Blaster rifle shoots right through your head.
01:37:24
Case
The end. Yeah, you can't really see very much like that far. You don't see any disturbance. You don't really hear anything. So everything seems clear.
01:37:34
Addy
Cool.
01:37:36
Case
You guys want anything in particular? Excuse my knowledge, you have track as a feed, I believe. So you are able to use track and give me a survival roll first, and then you can do track as a. An ability.
01:37:52
Shawn
The D20 for the survival.
01:37:54
Case
Yep.
01:37:55
Ben
12 plus what is on your.
01:37:59
Shawn
Initially it was 8 plus 8. Yeah.
01:38:04
Case
But you go with what? What?
01:38:06
Shawn
Well, earlier I rolled the 15.
01:38:09
Ben
That was.
01:38:09
Case
That was the roll that you were doing.
01:38:11
Shawn
Okay, so I was going with the eight.
01:38:12
Case
Yeah. That this category here is actually for temporary things, so don't even worry about that.
01:38:19
Ben
So 12 plus 8 is 20.
01:38:22
Case
Okay. You are able to figure out, based on sort of like the. The tearing of foliage around you, which way whoever set this went and which way they came from. You can infer that they came from the direction of that temple and that they went to the west, like going directly west. So they would be heading parallel to the line that is the rebel base.
01:38:50
Shawn
So during my scouting days, I've learned of this indigenous tribe, cannibals. It's very. They were here not too long ago, but it's very possible they were.
01:39:02
Ben
Wait, wait, did you say cannibals?
01:39:03
Addy
Are you sure they're just not other rebel soldiers who like us?
01:39:07
Shawn
No, no, they're indigenous to moon, but.
01:39:10
Addy
They'Re cannibals that ate them.
01:39:12
Case
Give me a knowledge. Give me a knowledge nature check.
01:39:16
Shawn
Okay. It's going to be very high. 16 plus knowledge, nature. 7. 23 again. Okay, so listen up.
01:39:27
Case
Or rather you guys stop listening for a second. So earmuffs, guys. Yep. Okay. You're entirely right. There are cannibals. Okay, guys. Yeah, you can take your earmuffs off.
01:39:48
Shawn
So my advice is that they were probably attracted to the disturbance to the west, and they're probably headed for the smoke right now to see if there's any bodies left over or any injured rebel that they might be able to feast upon. But. But it's very possible that they've left some not too far away to kind of to stay behind.
01:40:09
Case
What's he talking about?
01:40:11
Addy
Yeah.
01:40:13
Shawn
These are indigenous.
01:40:15
Case
Everyone give me sense motive checks.
01:40:16
Shawn
Okay.
01:40:19
Case
Not Sean, not me.
01:40:20
Shawn
That didn't count.
01:40:24
Case
He wants to bank it for later.
01:40:26
Cory
12, 23, 20.
01:40:29
Case
Okay, so hoof you absolutely do not think he's saying anything that makes sense. You think he's just like full of shit right now. Meanwhile failures and fosho. You actually think he's right, but I'm going to emphasize that hoof. You completely think he's crazy right now. Like 100% like. You cannot change your mind.
01:40:58
Cory
He's talking about cannibals. We've lived here for a long time. We've watched the wall together. We can't listen to that. Have you ever seen a cannibal?
01:41:06
Shawn
You think I might be right though.
01:41:08
Cory
It's like the Tooth Fairy.
01:41:10
Addy
I know we've never seen cannibals here. It's easy for me to think he's crazy.
01:41:14
Shawn
All I'm saying is, either way, we're still heading to the smoke. But we just need to be careful.
01:41:19
Case
Because give me a spot check with advantage. So take the best of two D. 20 rolls.
01:41:25
Addy
25.
01:41:26
Case
25. Cool. You see down by the fireplace, a spearhead. It's broken off, but it is clearly a primitive spearhead that has been like carved into place. And definitely, you know that no matter how long you guys were passed out, that no one has had time to make a weapon like that. It was from the rebel base, so.
01:41:50
Addy
So, guys, we have the spearhead here. I. I do think Fender is. Is right.
01:41:57
Ben
I hate to say it, but I. I trust the hammerhead.
01:41:59
Cory
Why do you hate cannibals though? You believe him?
01:42:02
Case
Look at you.
01:42:03
Ben
I don't know if it's cannibals, but it's something.
01:42:06
Addy
Yeah, it's another race that's been here.
01:42:09
Ben
Something is big enough to take down these animals and eat a lot of them.
01:42:14
Addy
So should we.
01:42:15
Ben
It took all four of us to kill that one.
01:42:16
Addy
Should we still be heading towards the smoke?
01:42:18
Shawn
Well, if.
01:42:19
Case
What he smoke? Oh, this is. The temple is nearby. And then you could go. Or you could go southwest to the. To either the rebel or the Imperial base.
01:42:30
Addy
Well, I think we should avoid the temple. I think.
01:42:32
Ben
I'm guessing whatever this is lives in the temple. Yeah, it's great shelter. It stays hidden. That's maybe why we haven't seen it.
01:42:40
Addy
Yeah, we didn't use that temple, but maybe we should just go back towards the base and you know, scout around the base a little bit. See where we can maybe get. Steal an Imperial ship and get off the planet.
01:42:51
Shawn
I'm thinking we go towards the Imperial base because the rebel base is going to be overrun with Imperial troopers. They might not be as heavily guarded with the Imperial base and it won't be expecting us to go there. That'd be the last place. What's that?
01:43:04
Addy
The landing zone.
01:43:05
Shawn
Right, the land zone. That'd be the last place they expect us to go.
01:43:07
Ben
And that's where. Is that where the Imperial ships are at the landing zone or a little off?
01:43:11
Case
There were some both over by the landing zone and also a couple landed at the pads that had previously been rebel escape pads. What's closest to us at this point? It's about equidistant. It's slightly different angles for the two.
01:43:27
Ben
All right, let's think about where are we most likely to find the least amount of resistance?
01:43:31
Shawn
Landing zone.
01:43:33
Ben
Yeah, I agree.
01:43:35
Case
I'll agree.
01:43:36
Ben
All right. All right, let's head that way. Scout, you lead the way.
01:43:41
Shawn
All right.
01:43:44
Case
You realize that something's coming.
01:43:47
Ben
It's not me this time, guys.
01:43:49
Case
I swear it.
01:43:52
Shawn
Everybody, blasters out if you got them. I hear something coming.
01:43:55
Case
Anybody got a. I think it's probably pretty big. You think that. You guys might want to take cover. I fell.
01:44:02
Shawn
Hey, everybody take shelter. Quick, hide. Something's coming.
01:44:08
Case
Can everyone give me high checks, please? Okay, you guys all made it. You guys take cover behind a close group of trees that it's a little hard to see through. A pair of AT STS move through. They're knocking over some of the smaller trees as they rush through. Clearly on, like, a patrol, but they move on and continue on. They clear the way a little bit if you wanted to sort of follow that path that they're on, but you can't be certain that it goes straight the whole way. And if it may not be a wise choice because it is kind of clear now, I'd rather avoid that.
01:44:49
Addy
So just keep going through the woods just in case another patrol comes right by.
01:44:53
Ben
Go behind it.
01:44:54
Case
Yeah, I agree.
01:44:55
Ben
Let's stick to the. Stick to off the beaten path.
01:44:59
Case
Okay, do you guys want to keep that in sight, or do you want to just stay really far away from it?
01:45:05
Addy
I say keep it in sight.
01:45:06
Shawn
Yeah, keep it in sight.
01:45:07
Case
Okay, so give me a survival check as you move. All right, you continue on your way. You think it's looking pretty good. Give me one more. Still looking pretty good. And another.
01:45:22
Ben
Keep rolling until we're lost.
01:45:24
Case
All right, you guys have traveled for a good chunk of the day. It's almost nightfall now, and you are coming up on a cleared section. A lot of this looks like it was done destructively, like they were using explosives, blasters, or just the impact of these, like, landing pods, like, slamming into the ground. But it's cleared away a decent chunk of foliage around it. So you guys can come sort of to the edge of the tree line with it still being in dense cover, but you've got a solid like 20 to 30 meters before you get to this sort of like loose knit Imperial base. Some of it looks like sort of makeshift structures, like instant put together structures, and others are like parts of the landing pod that is sort of like detached or the pod itself.
01:46:19
Case
In the center of the first group, the closest group to you is one of those transport ships. And a little past it, you see two more and more of this Imperial camp right there.
01:46:33
Cory
I'm looking around for guard towers. How many guard.
01:46:39
Case
You don't see any towers. You do see some automated guns on the landing pods themselves. You also see guards doing patrols.
01:46:53
Cory
Which ship do we take? Well, closest sounds like a good plan.
01:46:59
Addy
I want to use far scene to see not just the guards around. Well how, one, how many guards we have and if there are any like active pilots like any, any other manned Imperial ships already so that we don't get one that already has them.
01:47:20
Case
Give me a farseeing check.
01:47:25
Addy
16.
01:47:26
Case
You're able to infer the overall pattern of the guards patrols. And also you see that the closest ship, there's no one in it, but there are people nearby that you'd have to sort of do some ducking and weaving to stay out of their line of sight. The automated guns are not motion activated, but you do see that people are seeing through cameras that are built into it.
01:47:58
Addy
And how many guards are there are near that ship?
01:48:03
Case
Near that ship in particular? There's about 10 spread out between everything thing.
01:48:10
Addy
You guys think we should try to take a. Take them out or with what?
01:48:16
Ben
I got a knife. I got.
01:48:18
Addy
Well, we want to be quiet.
01:48:19
Ben
I got a pocket knife.
01:48:21
Addy
Yeah, but we want to be quiet. We've got a scout and, and a Fringer, so I imagine both of you guys could probably sneak up on him and kill him. I have forced lightning. Yeah.
01:48:32
Ben
If I don't know, I had a vibro weapon that would be really helpful. Not a knife.
01:48:35
Cory
Then we can take their suits.
01:48:37
Shawn
I do move silently. Grappling come into play here.
01:48:41
Ben
All right, how many are we talking about?
01:48:44
Case
10 total, but that's total. Between the roving guard shifts, the ones that are watching the cameras, the ones that are in close proximity of it, you probably have about four dedicated to guards and then six sort of in the vicinity, but not all. All right. On top of each Other.
01:49:00
Ben
All right, our biggest problem is the cameras, right? Like, we can probably easily subdue one or two troopers or guards. Jesus Christ.
01:49:11
Case
Does your brain come out? It's like what you found on the handle of your gun.
01:49:18
Ben
Holy.
01:49:19
Cory
I was hoping never to see that again.
01:49:23
Ben
You've seen it before.
01:49:24
Cory
You've seen it before.
01:49:29
Case
Out of the dude's head.
01:49:29
Cory
I don't need to see any more fluids coming out of people's heads.
01:49:34
Ben
You okay, buddy? What were we? I don't know. I have no idea what were talking about.
01:49:41
Cory
We forgot it all.
01:49:43
Shawn
So we have to take out these cameras.
01:49:45
Ben
Oh, right, the cameras. So we gotta either deal with the.
01:49:47
Addy
Cameras and the camera. You said the cameras are manned?
01:49:50
Case
Yes.
01:49:50
Addy
How many?
01:49:51
Case
Again? The cameras are covering about. It's about four cameras. Each one covers about 45 degrees, making up the 180 degree, sort of like wall of the perimeter. So basically there's a small overlap between each, but for the most part, each one has one fourth.
01:50:18
Shawn
So they're making a circle or perimeter.
01:50:21
Case
Well, not. Not a circle. Like, I'm saying, if the. Like, if you think of the turret.
01:50:25
Shawn
Yeah.
01:50:25
Case
So I guess it's 360, but it's.
01:50:28
Shawn
But together.
01:50:29
Case
Yeah.
01:50:29
Shawn
The four together kind of COVID 360 perimeter. Guys, I really wish you'd take this seriously.
01:50:38
Case
We've lost Ben. He's just walking around chuckling.
01:50:44
Cory
He almost spit his drink out.
01:50:45
Ben
That was not cool.
01:50:46
Case
It almost went on you. You've got a gaming laptop in front of you, my friend. I don't. I know. I don't think you want to spit your drink on it.
01:50:52
Ben
I tried. Oh, it was close. Oh, man.
01:51:00
Shawn
All right, so if we think about it, you have four cameras, 45 degree angles, facing outward with a 360 angle. All we have to do is get past two of them. You get past two of them, the other two are facing the other way.
01:51:11
Case
Right.
01:51:12
Shawn
So we just have to worry about two cameras.
01:51:14
Case
Okay.
01:51:15
Shawn
So I can.
01:51:17
Addy
I can. Can I drain the energy? I've drained energy. Can I drain like the power from the. The two binoculars or.
01:51:25
Case
One? Yes. Using that ability, calls upon the dark side. Just so you know.
01:51:32
Shawn
Okay.
01:51:32
Ben
Do it.
01:51:33
Case
Okay.
01:51:34
Addy
Yeah, I picked a couple. Dark side.
01:51:37
Case
All right, so you're gonna drain the energy from it?
01:51:39
Ben
Yep.
01:51:41
Case
All right.
01:51:42
Addy
Nine.
01:51:44
Case
Wow.
01:51:45
Ben
Aggressive.
01:51:49
Cory
What side are you on?
01:51:51
Ben
The dork side.
01:51:52
Case
Nine is your total?
01:51:53
Addy
Yeah. Oh, wait, hold on.
01:51:55
Case
Sorry.
01:51:57
Addy
Yeah, it's nine.
01:51:59
Ben
It's embarrassing, remember? Embarrassed for you.
01:52:03
Cory
Dishonor to your family, dishonor to you. It's honor to your Cow.
01:52:10
Case
Wow. What?
01:52:13
Shawn
You don't know that.
01:52:14
Ben
No, we.
01:52:15
Cory
L. Whatever.
01:52:16
Ben
Didn't.
01:52:17
Case
I've never seen. Oh, this is a weird safe.
01:52:19
Ben
Yeah, I know. I need to see it.
01:52:21
Case
I've want.
01:52:22
Ben
It's weird that I haven't seen that movie. I got Kubo this weekend. I just got Kubo.
01:52:28
Case
I'm looking forward to seeing that.
01:52:29
Addy
I need to finish it.
01:52:30
Ben
Cannot wait to watch it.
01:52:31
Case
It looked like Legend of Zelda, the movie, but looks amazing. But better than Legend.
01:52:35
Ben
You hope my kids cry.
01:52:37
Case
Okay, so, Addie, I got bad news for you.
01:52:40
Addy
Yeah.
01:52:40
Case
Erase that Force point I gave you.
01:52:42
Shawn
Before.
01:52:45
Case
And that's it. Like, unfortunately, you did not successfully drain the energy from the cameras. Rather, you feel drained, and you feel drained of that, like, that sort of, like, positive feeling that you had surging through you before. So, yeah, you. Yeah.
01:53:04
Ben
You've lost that loving feeling.
01:53:06
Case
Basically. Yeah. I mean, you want to bring back that loving feeling. It's gone.
01:53:12
Addy
But that's because I use a Dark side.
01:53:13
Ben
Right?
01:53:14
Case
You use a Dark side ability.
01:53:15
Addy
So because as I'm using more Dark side abilities, I'll keep on going on that skill scale in that. In another.
01:53:20
Case
Yeah, basically. Yeah.
01:53:21
Addy
But then as I use more, like, heal, I would go positive with the Force points.
01:53:26
Case
Right, Right. And there's certain penalties to having a lot of Dark side points and certain pen. I mean, and certain restrictions. Having a lot of good Dark side or good. A lot of light side points. But yeah, depending on what you want.
01:53:38
Addy
To do, I'm being balanced with the Force.
01:53:41
Ben
I'm proud of you, man. You and I have always had a side winning.
01:53:45
Case
I don't think we mentioned this, and it's not. It hasn't come up yet, nor should it. You guys all started with one Force point each. And the thing is, Force points are not something you just get all the time or that you can do a lot of stuff with specifically. They are sort of get out of jail free cards that you get once in a while.
01:54:05
Addy
Wait, so does that mean I have one now?
01:54:07
Case
You have one now. Okay. Yeah. So everyone else has one. Usually you can use it for, like, to boost certain saving throws or to. You can use it for a couple of things. We can go over the rules more on the side, but it is something that you get for really cool things or for really good actions or things like that.
01:54:29
Shawn
So if I use, like, illusion, I can almost, like, set it so the camera thinks or whatever is seeing something.
01:54:36
Case
If you had Force powers.
01:54:37
Shawn
But I don't.
01:54:38
Case
You don't.
01:54:38
Shawn
Okay.
01:54:40
Case
But you can use the force in other ways, it feels like luck to you, or it feels like good fortune or it feel. You know, it. The most useful way to do it is just to either get a reroll or to get a bonus on a throw of some kind or like a. Either a shot or a punch or a skill check, something like that.
01:54:59
Ben
So if I have four skills, that's something.
01:55:01
Case
Four skills are separate, and the. The checks are separate on top of that. And Addie, because he's a force adept, has a whole lot of things he can do with force points that are in addition to the layperson, but the layperson basically gets to use it like luck.
01:55:15
Shawn
All right, so I do have a disabled device minus one. Could that possibly come in handy?
01:55:21
Case
Close enough. Theoretically, at some point we gotta get.
01:55:24
Ben
Close enough to you.
01:55:25
Case
Yeah, we'll go over that later. I was just mentioning that you guys all have one force point. That was the big takeaway.
01:55:30
Addy
Well, I guess back to the cameras, though. Can we use disabled. Can you use disabled device then?
01:55:38
Case
If he could get close to it.
01:55:39
Ben
Okay, we got to get him close.
01:55:41
Addy
So it'll be like move silently and.
01:55:42
Shawn
Then it's more about being seen.
01:55:45
Ben
Is there anywhere where it's obvious that when the soldiers are on their patrol that they're not seen on camera? Like if they walk into a blind spot.
01:55:59
Case
Give me a spot check. Faileous and foe.
01:56:08
Ben
21, 22. Not better than me.
01:56:12
Case
So the cameras move. They adjust themselves about 30 degrees, 15 and 15 from. From center, and it sort of increases the range of vision. You can infer based on the camera's movements and the patrol's movements, that there are two positions where the guards will be off camera. And it happens about five minutes apart. And then 30 minutes before the next time it happens again.
01:56:45
Ben
Okay, I understand. Okay, so there's a spot where we can jump. These guards was there like two. So two guards?
01:56:56
Case
Yeah, it's pairs of two.
01:57:03
Ben
So they're kind of. Kind of doing this.
01:57:05
Case
No, no.
01:57:06
Ben
There.
01:57:06
Case
It's like a pair moving in patrol. Because there's a. There's way more guards out there. I'm saying that any given time, there's only about 10 close to the closest ship. Because these guards are all moving along the perimeter in groups of two about equidistant from each other.
01:57:22
Ben
All right, we got. We got to take out these guards.
01:57:26
Addy
So we got to take out the pair.
01:57:28
Ben
First pair.
01:57:29
Addy
Yeah, hopefully get that silently, then get. Still get close enough.
01:57:33
Ben
No, we got to take.
01:57:34
Case
Cuz they're. It's 2 and 2.
01:57:35
Ben
So they're. They're together, right?
01:57:37
Case
Well, it's a pair that goes through, and then about five minutes later, there's another pair that will also be off camera. They're not at the same spot, but they are both within reach of you. And then 30 minutes later, the cycle will start over. Where the cameras don't match up with.
01:57:52
Ben
The guard movements, Cat will catch the last. The second pair.
01:57:57
Cory
I have a dagger.
01:58:00
Ben
Anybody got a vibro weapon? I'm really good with vibro weapons.
01:58:03
Addy
Yeah, we have a Viber dagger, right?
01:58:05
Cory
Is that a Viber dagger?
01:58:06
Addy
Did we.
01:58:07
Cory
Yeah.
01:58:07
Case
Is that what you call. You guys did get a Viber dagger?
01:58:09
Addy
Yeah.
01:58:09
Cory
Dagger.
01:58:10
Ben
Yeah.
01:58:11
Case
Yeah.
01:58:11
Ben
You mind if I have that?
01:58:13
Case
Wait. I thought he was being a dick, but I guess he just didn't know that. I thought he was doing great. Rp. When. While you were trying to metagame. But in fact, he just didn't.
01:58:27
Ben
Make the check. Not even gonna look, that guy.
01:58:30
Addy
That's why the dagger has a button on it.
01:58:35
Cory
It's my first day. All right. I'm gonna give that dagger over to him.
01:58:40
Case
Gosh. Okay, so the. You watch the guards kind of move through it. Is the. That first group is coming up, like, where the. The camera's gonna be off sync from them. What do you guys want to do? Like, they come close enough to the. The trees for you to get to them quickly. You've got maybe a minute and a half before anyone else would see them. Either the other patrol is kind of coming into view or the cameras coming back online at that spot, maybe so maybe 90 seconds.
01:59:13
Addy
I say we move silently there, kill the two of them, and just quickly drag him out at a. Out of sight, and then make our way. See what the next obstacle is.
01:59:25
Cory
Is there a place where I can play dead? And then when they come over to investigate, you guys jump them. So, like a tree with a good amount of bushes around it, baby. I'm gonna do that.
01:59:37
Case
You could also try to distract them away from their perfect route if you want to get them, like, super into the trees.
01:59:42
Cory
I have demolitions, but that'll be too loud.
01:59:44
Ben
Nor do we have explosives, dumbass. Somebody fart on them.
01:59:48
Cory
Hey, you got enough gas for both of us?
01:59:52
Addy
I've got illusion. So I could try to make the illusion of. Of a rebel soldier run by them and distract them and. And have them run into the. Into the force with them.
02:00:02
Cory
Oh, that's even better.
02:00:04
Case
Okay, you guys, by the way, have all sort of rested, even though you haven't been like resting per se. This. This whole time you guys have like, caught your. You've caught your breath enough that you guys have all restored two vitality points.
02:00:18
Cory
Sweet. Wait a minute.
02:00:26
Case
Which gives me a grand total of two.
02:00:30
Addy
I was.
02:00:30
Case
We were.
02:00:32
Cory
Oh, so I just put two.
02:00:34
Addy
Yeah, got cuz remember we lost all our vitality with the. The at the crash.
02:00:41
Ben
Oh yeah.
02:00:41
Addy
Do we all lose it?
02:00:43
Ben
Except for.
02:00:44
Case
Okay, Addie, using this check is going to reduce you back down to zero vitality points.
02:00:49
Addy
Okay.
02:00:50
Case
Okay.
02:00:51
Addy
Now is this an illusion that the entire. Every. All ten of those soldiers.
02:00:55
Case
No, just the two.
02:00:56
Addy
Okay.
02:00:59
Case
And you have to make the check first.
02:01:02
Ben
Oh, miss it.
02:01:04
Addy
Wait, wait, which check?
02:01:05
Case
So you roll a D20 and add your illusion skill. Okay.
02:01:08
Addy
Okay.
02:01:08
Case
And then. And then that sets the difficulty for the two soldiers to get through it.
02:01:14
Addy
Okay, it's 15.
02:01:17
Case
Okay, perfect. They both fail it actually. So they. What? What do they see?
02:01:28
Addy
Well, I was attempting to make this. This a rebel soldier. What looked like a rebel soldier run past him. So I guess. I guess it's randomly this random. I don't know, like, because I fail at it. Should it be like a. A weird mutated rebel soldier?
02:01:47
Case
No, no. What? I mean, they fail to save. If they had succeeded the save, they would have seen through the illusion. Oh, sorry. Okay, so they succeed or you succeed? They fail is what I had said. Oh, okay.
02:01:58
Cory
Okay.
02:01:59
Case
It set. You set the difficulty for them to see through it. So, all right, so they see a rebel soldier run past them.
02:02:07
Addy
Yeah.
02:02:07
Case
Like into the forest.
02:02:08
Addy
Yeah.
02:02:09
Case
Okay, so they draw their weapons and start shooting into the woods and like running, like slowly marching into the woods, like laying waste to it. And they're actually starting to cut down trees. They're like shooting so many holes through like all the woods. Were you guys standing in this direction?
02:02:26
Addy
No, I mean, I. I'm having.
02:02:28
Case
You wanted to run. All right, so you guys are all clear of this.
02:02:34
Ben
Why would you have them chase him away from us?
02:02:37
Case
Well, because if he had chased them towards you guys would actually all have been. Been shot at.
02:02:42
Ben
That would make sense. Like, that would be the plan. Like.
02:02:45
Case
Well, so they shot. So they're now into the woods and like letting off. Letting off shots. So they're in the woods. However, people noticed that they were firing, so you've got some time where they're fully in the coverage of the woods, but you don't have that much time. What do you guys do?
02:03:04
Shawn
Run like hell?
02:03:04
Addy
Yeah, make a run for it. We have, you know.
02:03:07
Ben
Run for what? You run for what?
02:03:09
Case
Though ship.
02:03:11
Ben
Fuck it.
02:03:12
Cory
Let's do it.
02:03:12
Case
Blaze of glory.
02:03:13
Cory
Come on, Glory.
02:03:14
Case
Okay, you guys, run.
02:03:18
Addy
Well, I mean, there's no one else in between us, right?
02:03:20
Ben
Yeah, there's a little fucking.
02:03:22
Case
Well, now there's. Now there's a. You got the guards.
02:03:26
Addy
I thought the guards were the only thing in between us.
02:03:28
Case
No, no. There was a bunch of people over by the ship itself. The guards were just on a patrol that were walking by.
02:03:33
Cory
Oh, they're already making noise.
02:03:34
Case
So you guys.
02:03:35
Addy
I'm sorry.
02:03:36
Cory
All right, are they hitting distance?
02:03:37
Case
So they are now in the. All right, they're now in the woods. They've made some noise. So other people are alerted to it.
02:03:43
Ben
I.
02:03:43
Case
But they can't be seen by out there. You guys have about 30 seconds to do something to them before other people come to investigate what happened to them.
02:03:53
Ben
Kill them.
02:03:53
Addy
Yeah, we need to kill them so we can get their armor.
02:03:55
Case
All right, so for their guns, give me initiative rolls, please.
02:04:03
Shawn
Have to bring my charger next time you need one.
02:04:07
Case
We got iPhone and 18.
02:04:12
Cory
A new app. Eight.
02:04:16
Ben
One.
02:04:18
Shawn
Nine.
02:04:22
Ben
We're so dead.
02:04:24
Shawn
Survivor.
02:04:25
Ben
No.
02:04:26
Case
Initiative.
02:04:26
Addy
Initiative.
02:04:27
Ben
Up at the top. Right, right here.
02:04:31
Shawn
Zero. Okay, roll a nine.
02:04:35
Case
Okay, so before they're able to react. Who had the 18?
02:04:43
Ben
I.
02:04:43
Shawn
Do.
02:04:45
Case
You like you, Donnie Yen. Clock one of them on the head, like with your staff. Kind of like. Take him out with the other one, however, is alert to your presence because he was walking in with his guns drawn, firing. So he is able to. He gets a shot off at you, and he hits. How many points do you have?
02:05:24
Addy
Two vitality and seven wounds.
02:05:27
Ben
Not anymore.
02:05:30
Case
He. He blasts you and you take. Well, you. You. Well, you already lost your vitality points because you lost that for using the force power.
02:05:42
Addy
Oh, right, right.
02:05:43
Case
Yeah.
02:05:43
Cory
But he gained two.
02:05:44
Addy
Oh, yeah.
02:05:48
Case
So you take five wound points, and you. You are like. He zapped you hard, and your stomach is just like blasted into the flight suit that you were wearing and burned up a chunk. And there's clearly a singed area of.
02:06:07
Ben
Your stomach as you mark Addie.
02:06:09
Case
And you're on your knees. Everyone else, what do you guys do?
02:06:13
Cory
Shit, I'm going to shoot at the guy with my blaster.
02:06:16
Case
Okay, give me an attack roll.
02:06:17
Cory
Attacking 13. Come on, 13.
02:06:22
Case
You hit?
02:06:23
Cory
Yeah.
02:06:24
Case
So give me a damage roll. And that would be three piece.
02:06:29
Cory
Eleven.
02:06:29
Case
Okay, you kill the guy.
02:06:33
Shawn
Boom.
02:06:33
Case
Wow.
02:06:34
Cory
All right, now I want to go. Now that I know he's dead, I'm going straight over to him with the med pack.
02:06:39
Case
Okay.
02:06:44
Ben
Okay.
02:06:44
Case
Addie, you are Healed. Three vitality points, or, pardon me, three wound points.
02:06:49
Addy
Nice. Thank you.
02:06:51
Cory
Yeah.
02:06:52
Case
Do you have a positive constitution modifier?
02:06:56
Addy
No. Zero.
02:06:57
Case
Okay, so that's it.
02:07:00
Ben
Were these troopers Stormtroopers?
02:07:04
Case
Yes, these were Stormtroopers. Okay, probably should have, but he's dead yourself. But.
02:07:10
Cory
All right, so I grab both of their weapons too, and then hand them to the guys that don't have one.
02:07:17
Case
Okay, they.
02:07:18
Ben
The second body is still in the clearing though, right?
02:07:21
Case
They're both dead in the.
02:07:23
Ben
They're in the jungle.
02:07:23
Case
In the jungle. Okay. All right, good. He took out the first one and then he got shot by the second one. Right. But then he shot the other one. All right. Okay, so you've got two or two guys, one who you can kill now that he's been knocked out. Or let's just say you can cussed him to death when you hit him so hard before you got shot in the stomach. So you got two sets of armor. You've got at this point now like 30 seconds total to figure out what to do. Like, I'd advise out of game for you to drag him away before anyone comes looking.
02:07:58
Ben
Yeah, drag him away and then start assessing sizes of like, well, obviously fit in the armor. Yeah, Hammerhead's not going to be able to fit. Actually, I'm the only one who can fit in the armor, guys.
02:08:07
Addy
Well, I. I can too, cuz I'm humanoid.
02:08:09
Case
It's close. One is. Yeah. One is tall and gangly enough that either of these could actually fit theoretically with. There's like, there's like a padding inside the helmet.
02:08:22
Ben
Never saw there's anything other than a human Stormtrooper.
02:08:27
Case
How many humans, aside from clones, which were all the same person inside the Stormtrooper outfit, how many humans did you see, period?
02:08:34
Ben
All of them were definitely humans.
02:08:37
Case
You saw like maybe like what, six actual faces underneath the Stormtrooper?
02:08:41
Ben
No, but it's because I didn't see. But their body types were all human.
02:08:44
Case
Well, yeah, but Fosho has a very humanoid body type.
02:08:47
Ben
Yeah, he does and he does, but this one doesn't.
02:08:49
Case
He's got kind of a gangly feet.
02:08:52
Ben
Those big, huge feet. How are those going to fit in Stormtrooper boots?
02:08:55
Case
They're flexible. It could also be kind of amusing.
02:08:57
Ben
No, no, I'm not.
02:08:59
Case
I love you.
02:08:59
Addy
Because we understand the Authorian camp.
02:09:01
Ben
I want a saving roll versus your bullshit illusion.
02:09:06
Case
I would say that he just would get disadvantaged on all his checks if he tried to put the armor on because like his ears would be like dangling out and it Would like it looked like a bobblehead.
02:09:14
Cory
So I say you two put on the outfits, and then we're your prisoners because we got 30 seconds to play this stuff.
02:09:19
Shawn
All right, so.
02:09:23
Addy
Yeah, what do we.
02:09:24
Case
Okay. So you guys have dragged the bodies away. Yep. Scout, give me a. A survival check to see if you find a good position to be hidden from them while you're doing it.
02:09:36
Ben
All right. Not that kind of position.
02:09:39
Shawn
Addie 20.
02:09:40
Cory
Oh, he was getting ready too.
02:09:41
Ben
He was 28.
02:09:42
Case
All right, so you find a. A chunk of trees, like one's like knocked over, and you. You able to drag the bodies away from there. You can hear troopers coming to, like shouting like, call in.
02:09:54
Shawn
Report.
02:09:57
Case
Do you see anything?
02:09:58
Ben
Grab a helmet and put it on.
02:10:00
Case
Okay, you got. You put the helmet on. You don't have the rest of the outfit on yet. Yeah, that's fine. Just so I can communicate. Okay.
02:10:06
Ben
Because the microphone would be in the helmet, right?
02:10:11
Case
Give me.
02:10:12
Addy
Because the. When he checked the. The bike, it's. Yeah.
02:10:16
Case
Odds are evens.
02:10:18
Ben
Evens.
02:10:21
Case
The microphone is damaged because the helmet you throw on initially is the one that Addie clocked with his staff. Side note, you're still really wounded and, like, kind of bleeding out while you're trying to get this armor on. So it's moving slow for you. All right. But however, you could see them if you looked up over this tree, see them like the troopers. Oh.
02:10:45
Addy
So if you just put the helmet on and just like reach out and just do the. I think everybody knows this works now. That's the, like, lead over out of the tree line and hit twice the international side.
02:11:02
Case
So you rise up over the knocked over tree trunk and you, like, poke at. At your helmet, try to make a shouting sound. All right. So they. They see you tapping your helmet. They're like, oh, okay, give me a bluff check. Actually. Boom. They believe you.
02:11:24
Addy
Nice.
02:11:26
Shawn
Cool.
02:11:26
Ben
All right, get back down. All right, we gotta. We gotta stabilize him. How many more med packs do we have?
02:11:31
Addy
4.
02:11:34
Ben
We need him really badly.
02:11:37
Case
All right, use another one.
02:11:38
Ben
Let's give him another med pack. We got to stabilize this guy.
02:11:43
Case
All right, Addie, you heal four points of damage.
02:11:46
Addy
Nice. What does that put you up to be at?
02:11:49
Case
9.
02:11:50
Cory
3 left.
02:11:51
Ben
What did you start with?
02:11:52
Addy
10.
02:11:52
Cory
So that.
02:11:53
Addy
That's where I.
02:11:53
Case
Okay, you're doing okay. You. You feel too drained to use the floor force right now.
02:11:58
Shawn
Okay.
02:11:59
Case
Aside from spending a force point, that's the only thing you can do. Okay.
02:12:03
Ben
All right, we got.
02:12:05
Addy
Yeah. Cuz I use the force point for the illusion, right?
02:12:07
Case
No, it's a different you. You burned your vitality using. Oh, okay.
02:12:12
Ben
All right, I'm going to put. All right, let me. I'm going to get this stormtrooper outfit on. What's your name? Addie Foe.
02:12:21
Case
Fo.
02:12:22
Ben
Fo. You put the other uniform on. We're pretend that we captured these two guys, and we're going to march them into base and we're going to make a. You know, we're just close to that. One of those ships as we can, and we're going to make a run for it.
02:12:35
Addy
I like it. Let's do it.
02:12:37
Cory
Now, I don't have any demolitions on me.
02:12:39
Addy
Correct.
02:12:39
Cory
It was not part. It was not part of my original outfit.
02:12:41
Case
No.
02:12:42
Cory
All right, just checking. We never checked.
02:12:44
Case
Yeah, you didn't. You did not have any grenades for your guard detail.
02:12:48
Cory
Yeah.
02:12:51
Case
Anyway, all right, so you guys get dressed up and you are marching out your two prisoners. A couple people who are over at the main base, like, are clearly, like, calling into their mics. Okay. So you get the. The head tap again. Okay. And they're like, oh, okay. And as you. As you get closer, one comes forward. It's like. Where'd you catch these?
02:13:22
Ben
Just outside of the perimeter, sir.
02:13:25
Case
All right, well, we've got orders on high. We want anyone who's left or left on the planet alive. Take them over to the holding block.
02:13:33
Ben
Yes, sir.
02:13:34
Case
All right, you guys start walking one direction. It's like, what are you doing? Holding blocks. The other way.
02:13:39
Ben
Oh, sorry, sir. He caught me with a. With a good shot. I'm a little. Little dizzy right now.
02:13:44
Case
You point to the helmet and show the crack, actually, on the helmet. It's like. Oh, well, make sure we take out those alien scum after this. But for the moment, they're supposed to be kept alive. But you can get a lick in if you want.
02:13:57
Ben
Thank you, sir. And then I give Fender a heavy push in the back.
02:14:06
Case
Okay. So he shoves you in. All right, so you guys walk around the corner of this pod to sort of like. Now, what's sort of a more clear area? There's fewer guards. The ship is docked not too far from you. There's still people around, but it's not being like a patrolled area because this is inside their sector of control.
02:14:32
Addy
So do you think we should. Let's go to the ship or are we gonna.
02:14:37
Ben
No, I think we should lock these two up and then you and I go to the ship.
02:14:40
Shawn
Hey.
02:14:40
Ben
Oh, no.
02:14:42
Addy
That's what I've been thinking.
02:14:43
Shawn
All.
02:14:49
Ben
No. Yeah, we need to. Let's just get them. Yeah. Let's just march to the ship.
02:14:55
Addy
I got.
02:14:56
Ben
I got a plan. I have an idea.
02:14:58
Addy
All right, so we try to. We board the ship.
02:15:02
Case
Okay. Yeah. So you guys, you're able to get in the ship? There's no one on there currently. It looks like there was some supplies that are still on there that people may have been taking on and off. So there's no one on there at the moment, but there's an open, like, cargo door that has opened up or, like, landing door that you have walked up and. Yeah, it's like, some, like, barrels. Space. Barrels of things. And you're not sure how long before people come back.
02:15:35
Ben
I'm.
02:15:35
Cory
I'm not shackled, right at this point. I was never really shackled. Handcuffed.
02:15:42
Addy
Yeah, we. We never really.
02:15:44
Case
You didn't lock it? You sure?
02:15:46
Addy
We don't really.
02:15:47
Shawn
You sure?
02:15:48
Ben
I was. I totally locked in mine.
02:15:50
Case
Yeah. All right. He's all right. So you add.
02:15:52
Addy
I just assumed we brought him in without.
02:15:55
Case
Well, yeah, the illusion work pretty well when the guards came close, so actually, both Hoof and Fender give me reflex saves. Okay. You guys actually both prevented them from accidentally, like, clicking the lock in, so you were able to get free. Nice of your shots.
02:16:18
Cory
I'm looking for the button to shut the doors that we came in. Actually, wait. He needs to know if we can fly this thing out of here.
02:16:27
Shawn
Oh, I could fly it out slowly. Very slowly.
02:16:29
Cory
Keys are. Are in the. In the dashboard.
02:16:35
Case
Little thing up there where the keys are always at in the movies.
02:16:40
Ben
And nobody in the history of time has ever put their keys in the sun visor, ever.
02:16:45
Cory
Every movie has it.
02:16:47
Case
He's able to start it. It's not like there's a key. All right.
02:16:51
Cory
Oh, well, I'm closing the cargo door.
02:16:53
Case
Okay. You hear some voices being like, hey, what's going on over there? As the cargo door starts to rise up. Well, Fender, I guess you should give me a pilot check to see if you can get the ship up.
02:17:09
Shawn
Well, that means roll.
02:17:11
Ben
That does mean.
02:17:12
Shawn
Doesn't mean give you a whole dialogue.
02:17:14
Case
Oh, it was great, though. And actually, the better your dialogue, the lower I will set the dc.
02:17:21
Shawn
Oh, four.
02:17:22
Case
Oh, so give me some.
02:17:24
Ben
Shit.
02:17:26
Case
He's all of a sudden again.
02:17:28
Cory
I knew he shouldn't.
02:17:29
Shawn
Oh, force. Damn it. Again. What's wrong with this thing? Oh, the Kerber booster fiber.
02:17:40
Case
Wait, someone give me a bluff chick. Okay, so you clang on the intercom, and, like, the speakers from the thing are, like, Conveying what he's saying. He's like, sorry, our pilot, he's just, he just shut the door. I don't. Sorry. He doesn't know what he's doing. And people actually believe you. So like they don't like raise their guns. They're just like. And they like go and call the mechanic to come over here. All right, so you're having trouble, but you've alerted suspicion, but they're not directly hostile to you. Give me another pilot check to get this.
02:18:14
Ben
Please, dear Lord, fly this thing.
02:18:16
Cory
Get us off this ground.
02:18:21
Case
I'll say it was the other number, not the six.
02:18:26
Ben
Jesus Christ.
02:18:29
Case
All right, you.
02:18:31
Addy
We are so dead.
02:18:33
Shawn
It looks like everyone wants to kill.
02:18:34
Ben
Well, this is the way the game ends.
02:18:39
Case
You set off the thrusters enough that you like spin in place and knock over the person who was just going to call the mechanic and he's like hey. And he like looks up and sees your Ithorian face in the. Inside the dashboard. He's like oh God. It's rebel scum. And he like starts shouting into his mic in his functioning helmet. And you see gun turrets that were faced outward. Some of them are rotating.
02:19:11
Addy
Well I guess it's gonna be session.
02:19:13
Shawn
One and only is there.
02:19:16
Ben
Is there an escape pod on this?
02:19:18
Case
Give me one more pilot check please.
02:19:21
Cory
Get that off the ground.
02:19:26
Shawn
12.
02:19:27
Case
What.
02:19:29
Ben
I'm going to say.
02:19:31
Addy
Yeah, you're right.
02:19:31
Shawn
It looked again, you're right.
02:19:33
Case
19, 21.
02:19:34
Ben
21 y more like it.
02:19:36
Case
So you're like oh that's what I'm supposed to hit. And you press the red button and it sent like the. The thrusters kick off and you like rise up real ass fast into the space.
02:19:51
Ben
To the space.
02:19:53
Case
And as you are starting to clear the atmosphere of Yavin 4, you guys can look down, you can see that the Imperials have definitely like claimed a lot of that territory. Looking up out into. Into space, you see there's actually still a dog fight going on. It's really hard to see because or from the ground because you're getting light from the sun, but there are still ships up in the air. You think that this might have been some sort of. It took a while to get some of the ships up and there's now sort of a protracted battle as they're kind of all navigating, trying to get locks on what the best faster than light route out of the system is. But there's still part of the fleet up in space and we're going to fade from that to find out.
02:20:43
Case
On the next episode, One of the Star Destroyers a tractor beam is locking in or bringing in something into their bay. Scraps of metal, parts of ships are all brought on board. As air fills, the chamber opens up and crews run in Be like system saying that someone's still alive. Someone's still alive.
02:21:09
Ben
How?
02:21:10
Case
How is that possible? Computer pinged a heartbeat. This thing. This is from the Death Star. This life support would have run out days ago. These aren't meant to stay out so long. Wait, hold on. Is that a normal TIE fighter? Is that a hyperdrive? Can't be. What it was one, but it looks slagged. They start carrying, carving into the side of this slag TIE fighter and pull out a black armored figure. All the mechanics stare down at the at this figure on the ground as they slowly process who they're looking at. It's silent for a moment and then at first they hear. And the figure of Darth Vader sits up. Any who attempt to flee, capture anyone left on the planet I want alive, I would have words with them. And were in session there.
02:22:18
Ben
What?
