Hey, Nerf Herders. Adi Thomas. Yes. This is just a little disclaimer before we go into the episode of Scruffy Nerf Herders today. We recorded this episode in the middle of November. Okay. It was actually November 15th, so I just want to give you a little disclaimer. We did not copy a moment at the very end of this episode from the Last Jedi. It is amazing that, like, what is it, three weeks after the Last Jedi released, this moment happened. You'll recognize it when it happens. Obviously, if you haven't seen Last Jedi yet, somehow I don't want to spoil a big moment in the Last Jedi, but again, we did not intend to copy it. It's incredible that there's this kind of big moment at the end that is very similar to a moment in the Last Jedi, but go ahead.
00:52
And the episode is still fun. We got all sorts of crazy shenanigans that you expect from our Scruffy Nerf Herders in this episode too. So enjoy. Hey, Nerf Herders. I'm Matty Thomas.
01:10
I'm Ben Milton. And I'm Corg Putnam. I'm J. Mike Folson.

01:15
And I'm Case Aiken.
01:17
Thanks for joining us for another session of the Scruffy Nerf Herders. We've got more craziness along with our Scruffy Nerf Herders and their adventures in just a second. But before we get to that, just wanted to let you know that you can follow all of our podcasts on our website, certainpov.com we have another pass. You have certain point of views, news and reviews, and all sorts of other fun stuff soon. Well, if you haven't, by this time, actually Ben will have eaten a shoe because of a bet he made. So we're looking forward to that.
01:48
Yep, I will honor the so called bet.
01:51
It was a gentleman's agreement.
01:53
Yeah, at best. At best. But I will still.
01:56
But it was still your hubris that led you to eating a shoe. That's the point. Either way, all of those shenanigans you can follow on all of our podcasts and you can find them at certainpov.com be sure to rate, review and subscribe those podcasts again. Certainpow.com let's go ahead and let's introduce everyone who's part of this D20 game. I am playing the Force Adept, Kel, Dor, Fosho and Ben.
02:25
I am playing Foulis Vazkiller. I'm a human fringer, of course.
02:29
Awesome.
02:29
And My name is Huflung Dung and Misa Gangan, and I'm actually a soldier. Failed pop artist, joined the Rebellion.
02:37
And then J. Mike.
02:38
My name is Stenvolt. Tenure. I'm a Zabrak tech specialist.
02:42
And then Sean and I play Fendir pickup Ithorian scout. I am brown, tall, and nothing but ball.
02:49
And then of course, we also have the all seeing, all knowing deity that binds, you know, holds this group together case.
03:00
And as your dungeon master for this evening, could I have everyone roll a D20 for me for the recap? 7, 3, 11, 12, 18. Well, Sean, I guess you've got the recap. Yes.
03:14
All right. So if I remember correctly, Reggie and I stayed out of range onto Cosmopolitan Swift hanging out. Everyone else went into the graveyard of Alderaan to find a group of diplomats who survived the destruction and came back to pay their respects. Now, the nerf herders boarded the Krillin Corvette. And failure to disguise himself as one of the crew snuck up to the office of what fuck up Dragon.
03:44
Falcon.
03:45
Falcon Dragon. Falcon Dragon.
03:47
Right.
03:48
I think that's it. And convinced him that the Rebellion wasn't behind the destruction of Alderaan. Not sure we're buying that. But then meanwhile, everyone else was hiding out in the crewman's room. And then the crewman came back to play video games with his friend, and Stembolt and Hoof were going to kill them. To spare their lives, Foe used the power of friendship and the Force and got most of the crew involved in a major video game tournament. Meerfalius and Falcon Dragon came out to find them. And that was when. When the ship was boarded by these armored warriors dressed in red and black and. Can't wait to see what that's all about. Kids are about to find out. And yeah, I think that about sums it up.
04:37
Stembo, you are first to act. You do not know what is directly around the corner. You just see the trepidation that comes across the face of Fosho. As far as you can tell, given his weird metal prostheses attached to his face. Kill the monster. Something's there. You don't think it's a full. You're not seeing blaster fire and you're not seeing. You're not hearing, like, a ton of people. What are you gonna do, Jay White shoe ball? Don't have any. Actually. Don't you have a blaster? No, he didn't. You didn't bring a blaster? You couldn't fit one on his suit, Right. Can I slide a van a Blaster off somebody else. Yes, you may. Okay. 22. Okay, you pull out a really nice heavy blaster off of one of the guards there. Like it was actually in their hands, but somehow it just wasn't anymore.
05:34
All right, all right. Zadbrark's got tricks. So the heavy blaster does 3D6 damage when you fire at someone. Kill them all.
05:41
J Mike.
05:42
Kill them all. Suppressive fire. We don't even know what it is. Roll the die. 20. So you took one. If you want, you can try to steal a second one. Okay. Oh, no. 26. Yeah, you steal a second heavy blaster from another guard. So now you've got two heavy blasters, one in each hand, dual wield. And you've readied yourself that pretty quick action. But now you're ready for whatever's about to come around the corner. Yay. All right, wait.
06:16
So quick thing. So with my far scene like this, you said red armor. Red armor. You know, black mesh, red armor plates. Do they look like stormtroopers or Imperial? Or do they look like mercenaries?
06:28
Like it's. Give me a. What knowledges do you guys have? Or rather, what knowledges does Phil have?
06:43
I got Jedi lore. That was it.
06:46
I'll let Jedi lore count for this.
06:48
Okay.
06:48
Give me a roll.
06:53
17.
06:59
Yeah. This is Imperial Guard. You know that while obviously that this is the attire they wear when they're out in field missions, not when they're like in their formal wear guarding the emperor himself. You know that often they take potentially force adept children and raise them into being the most elite guard possible. They're not being taught Jedi or Sith ways, but they are basically being focused into being the best human guard or best human guard that they could be, not knowing the extent of their force powers that they could have had they been otherwise trained. Okay. And that they are proficient in dual vibro blades, which are what the one is. And also quite good shots.
07:57
All right, we're fucked.
07:58
We all die. Use your friend thing. Where's your friend magic now?
08:05
Yeah, where is it foe?
08:06
Where's that one?
08:07
I mean the more the Merrier Pod Racing League. Maybe I should offer them lifetime membership. You guys want to join Ivana's fancy Pod Racing League?
08:19
Lifetime membership fails. I got a blaster, so I'm going to blast him. So you're going to pop around the corner and blast. Yeah. Okay. Blast now, ask questions later. What's your defense? That's what I did to his mom. What? What's your defense? Oh, I don't have any. 14 Take four points of vitality damage.
08:42
Farewell.
08:43
One of them had readied for someone to come around the corner. Of course he did. But you are able to get a shot off.
08:48
Pew, pew.
08:49
Do I hit him? How do I know? Roll an attack. Roll. Range. Attack. Roll. 16. That hits. Awesome Blaster 2D6. Eight. All right. The second one in the group. The first one is the one who shot you. The second one, sort of the middle one is the one you actually get a shot off at. Awesome. What the hell are those guys? He drops his blaster. Yes. Do you just stand there? No, I ducked back around the corner where I'm safe. I'm not gonna stand there and get shot again. All right. Okay. So. Yeah, you did that. Foe, you're up. And he just was shouting out a question. I just shouted, what the hell are they?
09:51
Those are the elite Imperial Guard when they're in their special forces mission. So we got a serious problem. We got one. We gotta get out of here. But I don't let.
10:05
I'm sorry, did you say Imperial Guards?
10:08
Yes.
10:08
Yeah.
10:08
Imperial.
10:09
That's what's around the corner there.
10:10
Yeah.
10:11
We've been boarded by Imperials.
10:12
Yes. And considering how they entered, I don't think anybody here is safe.
10:17
Oh, God. Their mission must have been to kill me. All along. They must have thought that were. Man, they. The Empire has betrayed us.
10:27
I know you guys just met us, but I think we're all in the same boat here. And I'd like to think that this past few hours that we've been playing video games have really meant something.
10:41
Give me a diplomacy roll on that one. But I don't buy that one. Come on. Diplomacy Addie. Come on, Addie.
10:52
Probably not. Go to 15.
10:53
Oh, that's not bad. There's a half hearted hurrah from people.
10:59
Please don't say Christmas Day. But it'll work.
11:03
This is a breach. Just once more, you hear what starts off as a mutter and then turns into a repeated chant of Remember Alderaan. Remember Alderaan. As you start to work up the people there with Lieutenant Commander Dragon. Sort of like helping to sort of rally people. Two of the guards are like, hey, where'd that gun go? They're all getting excited. Do you do anything else or can.
11:32
I use a force power real quick? I got Battlemind to inspire the group, all. Everyone around us to.
11:39
Yeah, yeah. Go for it.
11:40
Get a little bit more professionality.
11:44
Do it. Do it. 14. You are able to incite everyone to be more. More in sync with each other. It's not the strongest link you could possibly make, but it is successful link. Everyone's sort of now starting to kind of like, have this tack mentality to them without even knowing it. Like, they sync up in unseen ways, but you see movements and positioning. Yes, just like that. Exactly. Act analogy. That's exactly what I was going for. Thank you. That's 100% the exact thing that I was trying to set up by this. I wasn't trying to make any sort of analogy to sort of like hack hunters or anything. No, no. I was trying to make a joke. Menstruation. That's. That's where you nailed it. Nice.
12:46
Blood.
12:47
Like the Imperial Guard's capes. No, but that was a successful sort of, like, pump up. But you do take four points of vitality damage, and poof, you're up. Boom. Well, I have two blasters too. Now, I already had them, so I got them drawn. What are we shooting at? The guys in red and black, they're around the corner. All right, I'm shooting. Okay, You've been pumped up, so you actually get advantage when you come around the corner, but you probably will draw an attack of opportunity from someone when you do. Okay. Okay, so what's your defense? First question. Defense is directly under. It's just straight defense. You just give a straight defense. It's just a number. Yeah, plenty of.
13:33
Yep.
13:33
All right, thanks. Now, how to use defense. So now give me an attack. Or. Oh, give me. Well, if you're doing two shots, give me two shots with advantage for your ranged attack rolls. Plus whatever the ranged. Yeah, cool. Is plus whatever that is. 13 And 17. Okay, one shot hits, but you also get shot. So give me a 2D. Six. Six roll for your blasters, but you take nine points of vitality damage. Just a flesh wound. Seven, four, and three. Okay. That center one takes another hit. His armor seems to absorb most of the impact, but he's definitely been targeted and is not the implacable foe that might have been otherwise. Pew. Pew. All right, Stimbolt, what are we doing? You've seen blaster fire come from around the corner. You have a strong suspicion now that Fosho has said something.
14:40
But what do you do? Can I fire too? Yeah, yeah, you can come around to Glenn. You should run away. I could.
14:48
This is your chance.
14:49
Say, Mike, run and get shot in the back anyway. If I lead around the corner, I'm gonna get shot too, right? Yeah, that's what's gonna happen. Just shoot. Yeah, I'll take a couple shots. Okay. First off, your defense. 14. Okay, so you do take a hit when you come around the corner, but take four points of vitality damage. That's nothing. You're fine. Bump it off. Oh, wait. Sorry. The blaster was knocked out of that guy's hand, so he actually couldn't make that shot. So no one. No one shot you. Just kidding.
15:24
Sorry.
15:25
You're welcome. There are three of them, right? There's three of them, but the first one, the one who's taking the damage dropped his blaster. Yeah, I shot the blaster off. Thank you. You're welcome. That's what I do. Yeah, because you're doing welcome.
15:40
Nice.
15:40
Ignore that.
15:41
Even 16 with your. With your attack modifier. Oh, the random 19. The 19 hits. So give me a 3D6 roll. Really? Ones? Yeah.
15:55
Did you shoot a.
15:56
Did you get him three points? No, you got four. Four points. Might as well have been three. It would have done the same thing. Which is nothing. It would have done nothing.
16:05
And you were criticizing forced friendship, sir.
16:07
Yeah, that's fair. That's fair.
16:10
You got the big guns.
16:12
I don't know what happened.
16:14
Sort of dual wielded me.
16:17
All right. And do you do the hide back behind the.
16:21
Yes.
16:22
Yes. And you should. Shame.
16:25
Is everyone on the same side of the same corner? Yeah.
16:28
You're all packed in.
16:30
We're the only ones shooting.
16:32
You're actually kind of blocking the crowd of people behind you.
16:35
Exactly. That have all been motivated to fight. And everyone's, like, pumped up and just not able to do anything.
16:42
So the first of the guards is ready to act. He draws his blaster up and fires at a fire extinguisher against the wall. It starts hissing gas and smoke. Or not smoke, but mist out, obscuring your vision from where you guys are positioned. Using our trick against us.
17:04
No, no, it's perfect because we can have everyone move into better position so we're not all in the same corner and taking turns popping out. That's not effective.
17:15
So you guys have your vision obscured by this mist coming off of a fire extinguisher from the mist beyond your field of vision. Two shots ring out from the. From the mist. Well, it's been nice knowing you guys. Take 10 points of vitality damage. Oh, you're. And then give me some positioning here. I'm kind of picturing it as foe being the closest to the corner, but how are you actually sort of lined up?
17:43
Well, since these guys have been taking shots like, I think they would be.
17:46
Close to being okay, so probably okay. I've been taking A shot? Yes. Okay, so probably Stembolt's the closest because he was the one who took the last shot. Okay, so in that scenario, it's Stimbolt who then failures. Is the sequence there? Okay, quick question.
18:05
As far as positioning, is the hall that they're coming down? Are there any other hallways accessible to their path? Or are there any other doorways or anything? Or are we the first pass them.
18:17
As the other airlock if they went straight from where they were facing? So we got to get by them to get to our airlock to get correct behind you. So you could go in a square around because they're coming. The way you were positioned is there was airlock hallway ran along and then around the corner there. So you could actually go in a square to get around them to where they came in from. Okay, but I have an idea. Coming out of the mist, the one whose armor had taken a couple of hits leaps out and attacks. Hoof. Bring it on. I've always loved you, flesh wound. Hoof, your defense is 19. Okay, you take five points. Points of vitality damage. Barely avoiding a deep cut from. From his vibro blade. Whoa, that was close.
19:25
He's now standing right there in the midst of you all spinning this vibroblade around. All right, I am going to shoot this guy spinning his vibro blade at us in the head. You're calling the shot? Yeah. Okay, roll with this again as you try to shoot him in the head directly. 17. That hits. Give me a roll 2D 6. 7. The helmet itself is clearly cracked by the shot. He's still standing there. Damn it. But you shot him squarely in the face. His armor just took the hit. You're not sure how good his visibility is now. Heroic surge. Go for it. I'm gonna grab his vibro blade from his hand. Grab his vibro blade out of his hands. Sorry. Repeat that. I'm going to grab his vibro. As he stuck his head snapped back. I can see his defeat. So he can't.
20:28
I'm not sure he can see very well. So I'm just gonna grab the vibro blade and pull it out of his hands. Okay, Disarm it. Give me an opposed strength check. What does that mean? So give me a strength check and I will. He will oppose it to see if he holds onto it. 11. He is not. You're not able to wrestle it free from him, but you are engaged. You're holding it and you're struggling with him.
20:55
Okay.
20:57
Okay, foe, it's your turn.
21:00
Knock him the fuck out.
21:01
Addy,.
21:04
Can I use enhance ability to help Faileous grab the blade from him?
21:11
Yes, but it will be on his turn that he gets the benefit. Can't you just hit him or shoot him? You got a gun.
21:17
You're in my way. I don't want to shoot you. Shoot him again. Like, I don't think like it shoots. Wait, so it'll help him on his next.
21:26
Yes. Okay.
21:27
Okay. Yeah, Let me do that.
21:31
Or he'll have a turn before then, though.
21:33
What?
21:33
He'll have a turn before then. So I'll have to hold. Held on to that.
21:38
I'm actually. So I actually want to instruct people to get around. And since we have all these guys here just like in a corner one to get to both sides of this hallway and to whatever doorways are available so they can take. So. So we have a lot of different people who are able to take shots and to send a group of them also around to flank him and get behind him.
21:58
Okay.
21:59
So, I mean, that's just. I'm yelling the instructions to them, I guess.
22:03
Yeah, that's fine.
22:05
How many people are in the room with us?
22:08
30. A good chunk of the crew.
22:10
I wasn't sure if we're all 30. I mean, I knew were the place to be.
22:14
It's a solid 15 at this point, if not more, plus your group. So you've got a good chunk of people. It's filled up the hallway, and they could definitely alert the remainder.
22:23
I want Stembol to take. Actually, I'm gonna have Move. Take a group. Let's just split us in half. And so half of us are gonna stay here at this position and hold it. And he's gonna take the other. Like, he's gonna take another. He's gonna take, I'll say seven people to go around and. And get it behind him.
22:45
Okay. Do that as a diplomacy rule, I guess, to sort of convey this information.
22:52
16,.
22:55
You convey that information. Boom. Woo. You seven, follow Mesa rebels.
23:03
Alderaan.
23:04
They're moving. For Alderaan.
23:05
For Alderaan. Guys, where's everybody going?
23:12
The crowd responds, and they're starting to break off. Lieutenant Commander Dragon hits an alarm panel on the wall. And so there's people you can hear. There's the people who are not already here. The actual guards are starting to rush in the general direction of you guys. He patches into a common. He goes, this is lieutenant commander Dragon. We're being boarded by imperials. The Empire has betrayed us. The Empire has betrayed us. Repeat, the Empire has betrayed us. Guards, we need you at the airlocks. Hoof, you're up. All right, so we're headed towards to flank them. Yes. So what do I see right now? Where are we at? I'm peeking around the last corner. Okay. Yeah, you're rushing around the corner. So you. You've made your full square here. Yeah.
24:08
Okay, So you're spotted as you come around and they get a shot off at you. You take nine points of vitality damage, But you're able to shoot the guy. He's not close enough for you to physically reach, but you could shoot him if you wanted to. Yeah. Let's do it. I'm aiming for the head. Okay. With disadvantage. Attack him. That means roll twice and use. Take the worst. Yeah. Because you're aiming for a specific spot. That's awesome.
24:45
Really? Is that what I think it is?
24:46
Yeah.
24:47
Oh no.
24:47
The first one was a 22nd one was a one and plus eight. Well, so the good news is you don't somehow hurt yourself in this situation. But. But the shot flies past his head.
25:00
So close. I got so excited the first roll. I was like, yes.
25:03
Oh my God. 2. No, because you were moving. So you just had the time to get the one shot up. So close. So I'm gonna hide back behind the corner. Then you're standing right there. Like you just moved into position and so you fired off the shot and he's just fired off at you. You don't have time to get back yet. Like you. Okay, we're moving on to the like in the moment. Like when we come back to you won't have had a chance to move yet. Okay. Okay, Stembalt, you're up. I'm still in your room, right? Yeah, you're still on the other side of it. Fire extinguisher is spraying in your face. You're having trouble seeing there's all this obstruction, but you do see Phelius locked in with this Imperial Guard, Mortal Kombat. Is there a way I can. There's several. Yeah. Woo.
25:55
Can I knock him?
25:56
One of Thomas. You can try and hit him. Get. You're gonna try to like pistol whip him or something with your melee attack roll. Come on, Jay. Mike, help me. You try to swing at him, but it's unsuccessful because actually no, you would actually have the advantage because he's grappled right now. So give it a second roll. The with advantage. Or rather if the second roll is higher, you go with that 14. So 14. See, you miss. But you have two guns in your hand so you can try to Pistol whip with the other one with advantage, please.
26:35
J Mike.
26:37
J Mike. 17, You smack him across the head with your pistol whip. So give me a D6 plus your strength modifier. Okay? You can say it out loud, Jay. It's important for the game. It's a two. The helmet starts to break off, actually, because he hit him across the face where it had already been shot. It's a not remarkable face behind this. It's just a human, but he's partially exposed and he's taken another hit. He's still standing, still struggling with failures. But yeah, you got him. I got him. Yeah. All right, Corey, give me a reflex save.
27:43
16.
27:44
You take two points of vitality damage. The Imperial Guardsman tosses a grenade, and you're able to leap forward towards him, away from the blast radius. But now you're in melee, right inch of him, and he spins his blade around, but he misses you. Boom. You're now right there with it. And the crowd that was coming with you have all pulled back, but they're about to recoup and sort of come back towards you. But you're alone for this moment. Okay, draw both of my blasters. It's not your turn. Oh, yeah, the one who is struggling with Ben. Ben, give me another strength saving throw. Or rather. Rather a strength check. 15. He's able to slam you up against the wall. He doesn't wrestle you free, but you take two points of vitality damage as your back hits the wall.
28:47
The guard rushes in and flashes a J Mike with his vibro blade. What's your vitality looking like?
28:58
12?
29:01
He. He gets you and impales you in the stomach, and you fall to the ground. You're now wounded. You're. You're now. You're at zero vitality right now. You're still. Still functional. You have not started to take wound damage yet, but you are actually.
29:25
Can you imitate Luke yelling?
29:27
No, I've already used my heroic moment. He's standing right over you with his dual vibroblade and more like you're on the ground prone. Cool. Okay. Okay.
29:38
Don't die on me, J Mike. Don't you die on me.
29:41
Don't worry. I'll take you guys foe. You're up. Pardon me, failures. Sorry, failures. Give me another strength check. 14. Okay, you are able to shove him back. Now you can slam him against the. The other wall. Yeah, so he also takes some damage. He's starting to get weaker. He's like really starting to. Starting to hurt there. Suck it up, buttercup. You're Going down. Now it's Foe's turn.
30:11
All right, so we got one guy who's engaged with.
30:15
Around the corner, there's another guard who's engaged with Pouf and that crew. And there's two right by you right now.
30:22
One is. That's all three of them.
30:24
Yeah. Okay.
30:25
The one that just impaled him. I'm in a rage. I am gonna go with force lightning, and I'll actually try to electric.
30:35
Okay.
30:37
Power with checks and balances, but yeah.
30:47
19. You blast him. It wracks him with pain, but he is able to resist it somewhat. I mean, think about who his boss is. Yeah, Yeah, that was a poor choice. Should have went with ticket. No, it was an express. He notes you with surprise and turns his attention your direction. The crowd behind you, however, has started to rally. And they're shouting, remember Alderaan, the ones who are still there. And in fact, you're starting to hear more guards coming this way. Blaster fire is coming from the opposite direction. Actually. Some's whizzing past, but one actually hits the guard that is entangled with phelias. Yes. And he actually dies.
31:40
Yes.
31:41
Woo. One down. All right, Alderonis.
31:47
Rebels. Rebel rebels.
31:51
Poof. It's your turn.
31:53
That's your. I'm being stabbed twice Now I need.
31:55
To take both my blasters out, and I'm to blast him in the chest. Okay, so right there. Yeah, give it two rolls. Are we playing off tables? All right, 21 and 25. Both of those shots hit. Boom. Boom. All right, so let me describe how this happened. You avoided his grenade and, like, tumbled on the ground and landed on your back, aiming up at him and fire off both shots right at his chest, just like I imagined it. So give me two. Two. Two D. Six rolls. Eight.
32:39
All right, two.
32:42
Okay. No, that's good. He staggers back. You just shot him twice in the chest. His armor has taken the hit. You haven't hurt him. Hurt him, but you damaged his armor. Oh, and he's surprised. It's the only armor in all of.
33:03
Star wars that actually does anything.
33:06
Well, it's the best for the guards of the Emperor, I guess. Yeah. Yeah, it's good to know they put.
33:11
Plenty of money in the bed.
33:12
Yeah, that makes sense. He throws another grenade back at the people who had been following. It goes off. It looks like most of them avoid it, but a couple people die, and he starts to make a retreat towards the airlock, firing shots. He shoots another one of the people, and that person goes down. The guy who had the high score actually in the pod race. So he's taken a defensive position.
33:45
Oh, Craig,.
33:51
Great. Then there's the one who looked up to see. Foe. Foe. He takes a swing with his vibr blade at you. What's your defense? 15. He misses you, but he lets the momentum of the spin whirl around and takes out a guard that rushes up at him and then. Spins the blade and does five points of wound damage to Stimbolt. And then as he spins his blade around one more time. Sorry, what's your defense? One more time. Foe. Fifteen. Fifteen. He hits you. I'm gonna kill him so bad. And you take five points of vitality damage. It's game time with this. You know,.
35:00
Can I make a move or.
35:01
It is Phelias's turn Right now. I am grabbing that vibro blade off of the dead guard and I'm going to go kick some dick. Okay. Is he like. Is he like. Okay, he's only a few feet away from me. Okay, but is he facing me or. No, he's paying attention. So greater threats. Okay. I'm gonna put a knife in his back. Okay. Plus four is 23. That is a hit. Give me a D6 plus your strength mod. Only one. It's not a real vibro blade. Oh, you get the bonuses, right? Yeah. Cause I have two dice. Six plus one on my sheet for vibro blade weapons. Yeah, yeah, that's fine. 10. Okay. You slash into his armor. It takes the hit, but he recoils back. Clearly he's realizing that he's surrounded by a much larger force. You do. I did not expect.
36:18
You can imagine everyone to be huddled right at the airlock where they're making.
36:21
Their.
36:24
Surprise bitch foe. You're up.
36:31
I want to use force strike. So it would just basically an aggressive force push.
36:36
Okay.
36:37
Against him.
36:39
Push him into my blade, I think. Yeah, that would be ideal actually. Describe what you. What direction you're going to try to. Well, make the attack first and then describe how. Okay, cool.
36:48
Because he's.
36:48
He's.
36:48
Right now he's engaged in a fight.
36:50
Yeah, I just stabbed him in the. Fairly surrounded. Clearly he was able to spin his. As he was like spinning his blade around, he was hitting multiple people in this buzzsaw of doom 18.
37:02
And so yeah, I want to push up closer to the airlock.
37:07
Okay. So just. Just to clarify, there is the airlock that they came in from and there's the airlock over by where Susan has just docked. Yes. So which is where you guys came initially. You are Pushing him to the one where Susan's docked or the one that they entered from to the Susan.
37:28
Because I want to finish. I want him to be dead. I'm not let. We don't want him to.
37:32
You shove him up against the airlock, and he is momentarily pinned by you up against the shut doors of the airlock. All right, the crowd is rallying. They are starting to try to pile onto this one guy. The other group that was with Hoof are starting to deal with the casualties in their group, but are also starting to amass themselves. Hoof, you're up. So the guy's running away from me. Has he gotten into his airlock yet where they came from? No, he just took up a defensive position. He's taken cover around some of the burst open door, but he's not running for co. All right, I'm gonna jump out and I'm gonna shoot him again with two pulling in the air. All right. All right, John Woo. There you go. He has cover, so make those shots with disadvantage because he has cover.
38:40
All right, 4 and 10. So you got a 15, and you got a 4 for the two attackers. Okay. Okay. Oh, plus. Yeah, so 23 and. All right, so you. You shoot him once. Give me an attack roll or the damage roll. Pardon me. 2D. 6. 7. All right. Yeah, he takes some more. He's not dead. Like, get a shoulder. Boom. No barrel roll. Is there anything. He drops the gun, you whistle him. Nice. No, that was good. That's it. You were prone, so I'm guessing since you described jumping, you do like a kip up. And on your way up, you fire off the two shots. Ooh, fancy. Yeah, it's got that. Like that frog rabbit agility. That's right, Stimbolt, you're up. Or rather, you're down. But don't you die on me. You're capable of functioning. You're just wounded.
39:42
Is this still. Is he still impaled on it or is.
39:44
No, he's just got a gash in his stomach. Okay.
39:51
How much vitality do you have left, by the way?
39:53
Zero. I have zero.
39:54
Okay, you're getting into wounds now.
39:56
Yeah, I've been in wounds. Okay. Yeah.
39:59
Need to know.
40:00
Wounds are where you die, J. I was out of vitality when I got stabbed, and then.
40:05
All right, you're fine. Let's move on.
40:07
Just walking off, man.
40:08
Need to know for my own information.
40:11
Yeah. I don't need a. I don't need to hear another history of your life. I'm still inside the room, right. I'M like by the door by the room. Yeah. Can I move further into the room so I don't get hit by anything else to hide inside the bunk that you. Yes, you may. You coward. Everyone to take. Let's see. I should have hide 2. Yeah. Everyone clearly sees you ducking back into this. But I'm going to use inspire to.
40:38
Have a Running by himself with no weapons. Nice.
40:42
We're going straight. But you're back there. Do you want to do a heal check to see if you can sort of try to close your wounds or anything? Hold on. There's a. No, sorry. Treat injury. Yeah.
40:59
Do we have med packs?
41:01
Don't say there's a med pack in the room. Let's just say there is. Yeah, we'll say there is. It makes sense.
41:07
Yeah.
41:07
Yeah. It could be.
41:08
There was a first aid station near the alarm that, you know.
41:11
Yeah. You're able to get to it. Put a band aid on. So give yourself a treat. Injury check back to band aid. Back date five. All right. You are just looking at it and just being like, there is so much blood coming out of me right now.
41:27
Saving Private Ryan. How long are these things? He goes around looking for his arm.
41:39
I'm bleeding. All right, so you're hiding and you're not doing much for yourself at the moment. The worst, J Mike, the Imperial Guard that is over by Hoof, having been disarmed of his blaster, leaps out around the corner, blade drawn, and dives into the crowd of Alderaanians. And let's do it this way. Should have inspired him wrong. And with his spinning blade of Doom, kills five of them. I think that covers the entire group that was over there, actually. So that crowd. He leaps in, blade spinning, and just like cuts through. It seems that as he slices through one, he then is propelled to leap and cleave into the next one. And then draw his blade and just continue this flurry of death as he then turns around and locks his visor on. Hoof. Lun dun. It was that guy. Whoa.
42:58
The other guard who is pinned against the wall. He seems to struggle against your powers and pushes back. Give me a lul Save.
43:19
15.
43:20
You are taken aback by the force of this guard's will. So much so that you actually take two points of vitality damage. As he pushes back at you. He throws a grenade into the crowd on your side. Everyone except for Hoof give me a reflex save, including Stimbolt. But Stimbolt gets advantageous on his because he's in across a room. 10:19 All right. Pizza was involved.
44:01
There might have been some in the room where they were playing video spinball.
44:04
You're fine. Foe. You take three points of damage. Wait.
44:09
With a 19.
44:10
Yes. You made the save. And failures, you take six points. Points of damage. All right. And a good chunk of the crowd takes the shot. Lieutenant Commander Dragon is clearly injured by it. And with that, it's failures turn. Nobody makes me bleed my own blood. Who's closest to me? Which one of these bed guys. Guys is closest to me? There's only one close to you. The other one's around the corner fighting with.
44:44
With the.
44:46
All right, well, I'm going to kill the one that was closest to me with my fiber blade. Okay. It's a double blade, so you can try to make two attacks. Okay. Eight. Sixteen. Second one hits him. Four. Okay. All right. He. He takes the slash. His armor is still clearly protecting Laudanu, but the. The force of the impact is starting to wear on him a little bit. Foe, you're up.
45:37
Just looking around and I'm.
45:38
I'm.
45:38
I'm. I see all these dead. Elder audience and I'm a little.
45:41
It's like the scene off a private. Right. Everything goes mute.
45:45
Right. I'm starting to doubt my. My ability to command this group a little bit.
45:50
Yeah, you should just killed everybody. Lieutenant Commander Dragon's hurt.
45:56
Exactly. I know he's fishing critical. So get him. I want to use heal on him.
46:07
Okay.
46:09
So heal another. Do I have bed packs?
46:16
You guys had some? Yeah. You can do treat injury. Okay.
46:19
Yeah, I'm gonna do treat injury.
46:21
Okay. I saw that roll.
46:29
I know it's like, great. It's gonna be okay. It's gonna be all right. J Mike, it's 11. I'm not treating. J Mike.
46:38
I know it's 11. You're having trouble. Like there's.
46:45
Well, I had some stuff.
46:46
You're not making it worse, but assessing the damage. There seems to be a lot of, like, small bits of shrapnel in him, but not deep. You don't think he's gonna die from the wounds he suffered so far Foe. You can do one more thing with your turn.
47:02
I'm just gonna take a shot at.
47:04
The remaining guard with their blaster.
47:07
Yeah.
47:08
Okay. Dear God. Oh, 12 completely misses him. The crowd is in chaos. More guards have come, but they seem to be just getting cut down by these two Imperial guards. But there seems to be a sentiment of like, this was not a big crew and now a good percentage of them is dead. Like, they're freaking out. And kind of want to get out of here. Poof. You're up. Do I have a clear shot at you? Okay, he's standing right in front of you. Okay, that was jumping in trash. Yeah, well, he turned and faced you at the end. Yeah, well, I'm going to shoot him again. Yeah. Give it two attackals. Two. My God. Ten. Ten ring content. The shots just go right by his head on both sides. He doesn't even seem to flinch. Having flashbacks of the arena. Stumble. You're up.
48:22
No, you're down. Yeah. Go for a tree injury. Here we go. 2017. All right. You are able to start like kind of gauzing the crap out of the. Not for that. Oh, okay. Yeah.
48:44
Oh, sorry.
48:45
It was. Sorry.
48:46
It was the modifier.
48:47
Sorry. Never mind. Yeah. Oh. Yes. Yes. Cuz he's bad at treating injury. He has several minuses. Cuz his stats are terrible. The worst sabreck in the universe. But he's able to start gaussing the crap out of you. You're not bleeding out or anything. You're able to move freely despite your wounds. This is a step forward. Yes. So you've not healed yourself. You still have those wound points, but you are not impeded in movement. It hurts like hell, but you are able to move around freely. You can fight now. Jayba is what he's trying to tell you. Please, please fight now. J Mike. You have two big guns. Or run. Or run. You could run.
49:33
You could run.
49:34
Where is Slippery Jim? Have they not heard the explosions and stuff going on?
49:39
But Slippery Jim doesn't get into fights.
49:42
There's something, somebody who could help us. The airlock door starts to open up. Nope,.
49:55
This seems like the wrong place.
50:01
And from that airlock blaster fire starts popping out. Slippery Gem is standing there as is Pgo. They're both letting off shots, but they are not leaving their defended position. Is Reggie there with him or is he still in the other ship? No, Reggie is on a different ship. This would have been his moment.
50:24
He's lived a whole life of my.
50:25
All right. The. The one guard charges at. At.
50:31
Poof. Kill him.
50:33
Matrix. I did the matrix move again. Oh, no reason. Yeah, he's like 15ft away from me, but I'm still like. Tell you what, I am going to give you a tumble. Check to actually do that for no reason. 17. He swings his blade at you and you handspring just out of his reach. So the blade just flies over your chest and you find yourself 10ft away. Actually much closer now to the airlock. Out. And as blaster shots from Slippery Jim and P Go fly past your head in his general direction, but don't hit anything. But it looks really badass when you do it. That was a cool move.
51:23
That's worth it.
51:24
Totally.
51:24
It's worth it just to look good.
51:26
Where are the doves? We need doves to fly out, right?
51:29
But we got Minox. We don't have doves.
51:33
The other guard throws another grenade into the crowd. How many grenades is this guy? Yeah, all of them. Well, and also this. This is his second one that he's thrown. Not the other one had thrown the others. And everyone give me reflex saves.
51:51
Jesus.
51:52
You're still in the other room, so you get advantage on yours. 18, 17. Oomph is not doing the reflex save. No, I just dropped my dice. Okay, so Stembolt is fined. You guys each take two points to the vitality damage.
52:10
Oh, well, you know, I'm in wounds damage.
52:12
So you're in wounds now. So shrapnel flies out and like, pelts you.
52:18
What the hell's wrong with you?
52:20
Guards are coming up from behind. And he leaps past you and impales his vibroblade into one of the guards who's coming up and rides the guard down to the ground. So he's now facing away from you, but has just killed another member of the crew. Felius, you're up. Kill the one closest to me with my vibro blades. Okay, so you're going to have to move to get up to him. So you can only make one attack me do. Oh, man. All right. Hey, do you guys have the lieutenant commander? He's with you, right?
52:55
Yeah.
52:56
This does not look like looking good. You should. You should evacuate. Yeah, yeah. Get. I'll hold them off. You guys get. Get on board the Susan. Go. Okie dick. Come on.
53:09
Yep.
53:10
So 16 plus four is 20. Yeah, you. You hit him. Seven. Oh. You slash into his back. It doesn't go deep, but you're in his armor foe it's on you. Are you gonna try to get the lieutenant commander off the ship?
53:39
Regime and Pico right now.
53:41
All right, as you're pulling him off, he's in one of those little hand com units being like all. All men evacuate. Abandon ship. Abandon ship. All personnel to the airlocks. Abandon ship. But be cautious. And people start rushing. The last stragglers, like the couple of people who are still up on the bridge start making their way down. Hoof, you're up. Are you gonna try to get off? You're still facing off against a guard as well. Yeah, I have no choice. I have to fire because he's right in of front of me. Okay, are you gonna like do like a back off firing two shots or. Exactly. Okay. Yeah. As I'm backing off. 24 17. Okay, both of those hit, so give me two damage roll. 10, Eight. All right. Die, die. You get him twice in the stomach.
54:51
He winces in pain but has not gone down. Why won't you die? Why won't you just die? So, Stimbolt, you're up. Just past you to the right is where Thales is engaged with the Imperial Guard. To your left outside the room is where the airlock out to the Susan is. Can I give foe some suppressing fire so he can get the lieutenant Commander to safety?
55:21
What were you suppressing the fire at?
55:23
The other guy who was fighting. They're already coming around the corner. So they're Ghosts took a swig at it. I told the guy he was fight.
55:32
That well, but he's.
55:33
He's already made the escape. And you don't actually see them, their engagement. I just go towards the ship. Okay, so you make the ball.
55:39
Just kidding, just kidding.
55:41
All right. Stimul is just kidding. I want to help out. No, just go to the ship. No, go to the ship.
55:49
You have to be noble. You're going to get yourself killer burners, man. We're good to go.
55:54
Never leave a man behind. Take a couple shots at the guy he's fighting. So you come out and you take two shots. Yeah. Okay.
56:03
Utility gonna wildly disinfect you.
56:09
Oh, 18 and 22. Both of those shots hit. Boom. Nice. So it's 3D6TW. You gotta add it up. All right, all right. He's not down at the. Oh my God. This guy. This armor is unbelievable.
56:44
Maybe this is the new Imperial project. Good armor.
56:52
Both Phelias and Stimbolt give me fortitude saves. Okay. Stembolt is hurled back 10ft, putting him right by the hallway at the airlock. Thaleas resisted a. They forced the shove. That's right, I did. That's what a badass I am. I'm not messing with.
57:26
Don't get cocky, kid.
57:28
The guard turns to face Faileous. Clearly he is able to manifest some force powers, although he's not necessarily trained to do more precise ones. Faileous, you're up. All right. I'm used to this because I've been fighting with this goofball the whole time. All right, here we go. Both Vibro blades. Attack. Okay, 15 hits was 19 and seven and four is 11. One of those hits. Okay.
58:09
11.
58:11
Okay. You can't tell. His armor is looking pretty ragged, but he doesn't seem to be moving slower as a result.
58:23
Okay, he's a machine.
58:25
He's alive. Guys, get off this ship. It's your turn. You've made it to the airlock with. With Lieutenant Commander Hoof and Falius are still face to face with guards, although Hoof has a little bit of distance between him.
58:41
I've got to the airlock, but the commander saved me on the ship. I could rejoin the fight, right?
58:45
You could, yes. And Stembolt is on the ground, but right in front of you, having been.
58:51
Forced him on the ship.
58:54
This one before he dies on us.
58:56
How much wound damage do you have? Eight.
58:59
Oh, jeez. Get him on the ship before he dies.
59:03
I'm gonna pull Stone onto the ship.
59:04
I can stand and shoot for cover, guys. All right, can you? Yes. So you pull him onto the ship. The remaining crew from the vessel are pouring on. And by pouring on, I mean that's like, at this point, maybe four or five people. It's not a lot of people, but they're getting on there. Hoof, you're face to face, but you could easily back up just a little bit and be on the ship at this point. Yeah, I'll go ahead and get on the ship. Okay, so you're backing off. Firing off two shots. Yeah, firing off two shots. Okay, so give me two attack rolls. 10 And 18.
59:46
Are we about to abandon failures?
59:50
One of the hits. One of those hits. Boom. I'm on the ship now. All right. Yeah, you're on the ship. He's. I mean, give me a damage roll. Oh, Ben. 2. 2D. 6. Oh. 3. 3 Total. 3 Total.
01:00:08
It's not okay if you just, like, leave your clothes in a pile because you don't have force power. That's how you know that.
01:00:13
Stimball. You're on the ship and wounded. I guess you try to find, like, a more specific, sophisticated med pack. Yes. All right, Alias. What's your defense? It is 14.
01:00:42
And then run away from the pile of clothes.
01:00:49
It's 14. Yep. Oh, God. What's your vitality? 29. What?
01:00:59
You're taking some damage.
01:01:00
I mean, Yeah, I got 40. I started with 43. Exactly.
01:01:06
I told you. What have you been eating?
01:01:08
I'm ready to go, baby. You take 19 points of vitality damage.
01:01:11
Oh, there goes that.
01:01:16
Okay. Yeah, you're blocked. In combat with this guy, it's dual vibro blade to dual vibro blade. Just. Yeah, I'm dueling the Fates of this. I'm going down in the blazing glory. Everybody go get on the ship. Hey. Sir, we see we cannot abandon you. Short tongue, you have been. Get on the ship. We're on the ship. You need to come on the ship. And Slippery Jim, like, pulls around the corner and is, like, firing off shots, but is trying to get the guy, but you're in the way. Just go. I'm gonna attack. That's a 16 and a 25 both hit. That's 13 and a 9. You the first shot, he, like, just, like, leans back and you, like, get him on the stomach and you spin around and you slice his throat open. Get on the damn ship. Shut up and bleed.
01:02:37
Does anybody have any grenades on our side?
01:02:40
There's only one person out there at this point.
01:02:43
It's just me.
01:02:45
You hear the Imperial coming or the other Imperial coming up? He's firing off shots into the Susan right now. But he hasn't actually made it across towards the end airlock. And he is about 10ft behind you. Do I get to that another? Can I do another attack? You can make a run either to attack him or to try to get into the Susan before. Get into the. Get in the Susan, grab the pod, Right. Is he between me and.
01:03:12
No, no.
01:03:13
He's not quite between you. He'll be if. If you give him a second, he'll. He will be in between. But you could make a dash and get a. Get past him.
01:03:22
We got require from Piggo.
01:03:26
All right. I'm gonna make up my break for the season. All right. Give me a reflex save to get through there.
01:03:34
12.
01:03:36
Okay. You. You jump past him and the airlock doors shut just in time as this guy is, like, up against the airlock, like, holding the blade, looking at you as the Susan departs. And you start to take off outside of the asteroid field of Alderaan. As you exit the asteroid field, your shields light up and hit. Smash. Smash. You guys feel shakes you? Whoa. He's a Star Destroyer. They are here to kill us.
01:04:19
Vader's on that ship. Drink, you son of a bitch.
01:04:24
Another shot. Arsa's shields cannot handle another hit. We still need to get out of here. The Star Destroyer's cannon began charging up for another salvo when a blast of energy pelts its side. Isa Reggie and Phindir. You boys got what you needed? We got it. Then make a break for it.
01:04:45
No.
01:04:45
No.
01:04:46
We're not leaving you.
01:04:48
We've got this. Go. You said it, my flat face brother. You know what? My carbon copy compadre the computer can't calculate a safe route, you're gonna have to jump blind.
01:05:04
We've got a plan.
01:05:05
Now go. No. You can't do this. I'm a ship. Do not mourn for us, my friend, for we are already dead. But my ship. We gotta go. Come on, Slippery Jim.
01:05:18
We gotta go.
01:05:19
It's gonna be a blind jump. Punch it, Finn dear.

I'll punch it, but, Reggie, there's something I need to tell you first.
01:05:28
What's that, my friend?
01:05:29
Well, man, that one time I folded you that special towel and I handed what's most special? Well, remember how you were wondering why I was so stiff and crusty and I said I just used extra starch?
01:05:44
Well, yeah. It's special treatment for your special friend. Yeah.
01:05:47
That wasn't extra starch, my friend.
01:05:50
Oh. All right, let's punch it. With that, Fendir accelerates the Cosmopolitan Swift to faster than light speed, directly in line with the Star Destroyer. You see the shields of the Star Destroyer light up and rupture just as Slippery Jim hits the acceleration himself and sends the Susan into hyperspace, making a blind jump. Yeah. We end the session.
01:06:16
No.
01:06:17
Are you shitting me?
01:06:19
I was expecting more of like, a Luke.
01:06:21
No.
01:06:26
Oh, my God. Are you kidding me? Yeah. I can't believe we.
01:06:31
Did that Just happen?
01:06:32
We just lost Fendir and Reggie.
01:06:35
Oh, my God.
01:06:37
And I'm definitely gonna need some time.
01:06:40
This is way bigger than losing Glenn on the Walking Dead for me.
01:06:45
Well, there's no magic dumpsters here, so these guys are most assuredly dead. So remember, you can find links to this and our other shows. While we're processing this, you can refresh yourself with past episodes.
01:06:59
I need Chris Hardwick.
01:07:01
So, yeah, we'll have talking Scruffy Nerf herders after this. No, we won't, because our other shows are another Pass Certain Point of View news.
01:07:08
But until next time, stay scruffy, my Nerf herders.
