And I am Case Aiken.

Addy
Thanks for joining us for another session of the Scruffy Nerf Herders, a Star Wars D20 story. We are just, you know, scrambling and just stumbling through the Star wars universe one role at a time. And, you know, sometimes it's, it's great. Sometimes we're left dumbfounded and other times where we quote random music lyrics that don't have anything to do with anything and just kind of confuse everybody else. But sometimes we also are able to pull off amazing shots and fix computers as we. As we fix. As we roll through the Star wars universe. Before we get into this particular episode, I just want to remind you can go to our website, certainpov.com and check out all of our podcasts, including another pass with Case Aiken, Certain Point of View with me and Ben, and Fun and Games with Matt and Jeff.
00:59
Addy
All of those again are on our website. And also while you're there, please be sure to check out one of our major supporters and new supporters is my friend Maria Monzone who is an insurance agent and she can help you as well find whatever insurance you need, whether it's home or auto or life insurance through Liberty Mutual. She was an incredible help to me just kind of navigating that world, which is. Is one of those worlds that is just one of those places I just don't want to spend time in. I just want to have someone who can, you know, find all the ways over the hurdles that I just don't want to spend the time with and explain it to. To me in normal English. She also speaks Spanish, so if that's, that'll help you as well also.
01:40
Ben
Normal English. Yeah, exactly.
01:42
Addy
Again, she's an incredible help. She's got great customer service. You can find her contact information on our website under support. Just go to. Again to our website, certainpov.com let's go ahead and get started by introducing all the characters in this scruffy Nerf herder story. I, Eddie Thomas. I am Arvis Reed. I'm a country bumpkin. I am a herder of nurse.
02:09
Ben
Into the voice already.
02:10
Addy
Yeah, I'm just going.
02:13
Jmike
To.
02:13
Case Aiken
Totally fine.
02:14
Addy
Yeah, I mean, like, if you guys.
02:16
Case Aiken
Want to do that's good. I would actually give you bonus experience points for it.
02:21
Ben
All right. Suck it.
02:23
Addy
Anyway, well, with Arvis, he's a simple feller He's a person who's always wanted to fly, to see the stars. And. And he's gotten an opportunity to do that with these gentlemen. Unfortunately, they've kind of led him into some sort of, like, weird circumstances. And these. These fellers in white have been shooting at him. And then there's these screaming birds that. That have been shooting at them. And now there's this. This unhinged redhead and all sorts of stuff. It's. It's. You know what? It's still worth it for. For getting to shoot with some of these weapons and. And. And. And getting a chance to fly. I'm hoping his dream is to be able to. To fly one of those. Those. Those metal birds on his own, too. Or these ships, as they call them.
03:08
Case Aiken
Pumpkin, you sound like you're really enjoying this whole thing. Let me ask you something. Is on this world, do you have an association called an nra? Because you sound like you're kind of doing an ad for them.
03:18
Addy
Maybe a little bit. I do think. I mean, I do. I actually do have a pair of bear arms at home.
03:24
Jmike
Bear arms?
03:25
Ben
Yeah. Right.
03:26
Jmike
To bear arms.
03:27
Addy
Because my. My bro, my brother, and I would sometimes heat each other, hit each other over the head on this planet.
03:34
Ben
Bears are everywhere, man. Bears are universal.
03:36
Jmike
Yeah.
03:39
Case Aiken
Every life form, like every galaxy, has a bear.
03:42
Jmike
They're.
03:42
Addy
They are the one constant among all universes and galaxies. They're like desm.
03:47
Ben
Yes. I didn't know that.
03:49
Addy
They're like Desmond from Lost.
03:50
Ben
He's my constant.
03:53
Addy
Go ahead, Ben.
03:55
Jmike
All right.
03:56
Ben
It's a hard act to follow. I am playing phallus vag killer. I am a human fringer from the outer Rim.
04:03
Case Aiken
On your world, were there bears?
04:05
Jmike
Of course.
04:06
Ben
We've just established that bears are everywhere.
04:09
Case Aiken
What did the bears do to you?
04:11
Ben
They touched me in my. No, no.
04:14
Case Aiken
So they were truly care bears?
04:17
Ben
Yes. Yes. A little too caring.
04:22
Addy
Panda.
04:26
Case Aiken
Oh, God.
04:28
Jmike
Oh, it's my turn.
04:29
Ben
Yep.
04:30
Jmike
Okay.
04:31
Ben
Hey, thanks for joining us, J Mike.
04:32
Case Aiken
Yay.
04:35
Jmike
I am J Mike. I play a Zabrak tech specialist.
04:39
Ben
I got it.
04:39
Addy
It's getting deep today.
04:41
Jmike
Yes, it is.
04:41
Addy
That's it. We have bears. Thank you.
04:44
Ben
Good night, everybody. We have bears, too. We got bears, too.
04:47
Jmike
We have horny bears. They're just striped horny bears.
04:49
Ben
Horny bears. I'm in. Tell me more about the horny bears.
05:01
Jmike
Yeah, I'm good.
05:03
Case Aiken
You don't give me more about these bears.
05:05
Ben
I really want to hear about. I'm curious for more.
05:07
Addy
No, we know you want to hear more about these bears. You put fur on. On anything, all of a sudden, you're into it.
05:12
Jmike
Ex.
05:14
Addy
For wookies.
05:16
Ben
That was a bald Wookie, sir.
05:18
Addy
Because it was a special experience that was more you stretching out of your comfort zone.
05:23
Ben
I like new things.
05:27
Case Aiken
And, of course, I am case. I am your dungeon master. I am doing this to myself, aren't I?
05:34
Ben
You got nobody to blame but you, buddy. You started all of this. You have nobody to blame.
05:38
Addy
The. The moment you opened us up to a. A brothel with w. Shaved Wookies, you opened the floodgates.
05:45
Ben
To be fair.
05:47
Case Aiken
Yeah, I. I did this to myself.
05:50
Addy
Yep.
05:52
Case Aiken
Like, all the nights I've spent here recording away from my fiance. Yep. Driving her away from me.
06:03
Ben
Tune in next week on a very special divorce episode.
06:07
Addy
If you get a little hairier, Ben will be.
06:11
Ben
But if you shave it and just leave patches, I'll definitely be here.
06:15
Case Aiken
That's nice to know. This is the bed that I have made. That's the bed we can lay in.
06:22
Ben
Let's get it on next to the.
06:24
Case Aiken
Air mattress down here.
06:27
Ben
Now I feel sad. I don't want to feel sad, but I don't feel anything. Oh, my kid.
06:34
Case Aiken
I wouldn't have done anything different, because you know what? I fucking love this game. Thank you, guys.
06:42
Ben
Yes.
06:43
Case Aiken
So, on that note, because I goddamn love this game and want to hear more shit about it, can I have you all roll a D20 for a recap so you can tell me how goddamn awesome were last time?
06:54
Ben
Oh, I got a 16. Yes.
06:58
Addy
I got a 6.
07:00
Ben
God damn it. I want to get the recap.
07:03
Jmike
Damn it.
07:05
Case Aiken
Benjamin, if I make the recap shaved with, like, little patches of hair, will you be more into talking about it?
07:09
Sarah
Yeah.
07:10
Ben
So, yeah, here's what happened last time. So were confronted with a gaggle of stormtroopers in town.
07:19
Jmike
Gaggle?
07:20
Ben
Yes, a gaggle. Hooch was about to flank us.
07:23
Case Aiken
Well, we know for a fact that a big group would not be called a murder.
07:26
Ben
Yes. What would you call them?
07:30
Addy
The nice direct.
07:32
Ben
Fair enough. All right, so what ended up happening was Finn force pushed Art. What's your name?
07:42
Addy
Arvis.
07:42
Ben
Arvis.
07:43
Sarah
Yes.
07:44
Ben
V. Yep. Arvis. Into the Stormtroopers to create a distraction where he knocked out three of them and started a fight with a bigger one who didn't fall down. But you felt, like you said, still.
07:56
Case Aiken
Had something to prove there.
07:58
Ben
In the meantime, get into a fight.
08:00
Addy
I want to finish it.
08:01
Ben
I hear you. Slippery. It's like a taco. Like, once I start, like, I got to get all the way through right?
08:07
Case Aiken
Yeah, it's like that song by Sticks.
08:09
Jmike
If I.
08:09
Case Aiken
If I. Someone starts it, I have to finish it the whole way.
08:13
Ben
Yes.
08:16
Addy
That slippery gym is really cultured.
08:18
Ben
He really is.
08:20
Jmike
Yeah.
08:21
Case Aiken
When you're out in space, you have a lot of free time.
08:22
Sarah
You're just.
08:23
Case Aiken
Just going to, you know, put on like Space Hulu or something like that.
08:25
Addy
I would say he's a Cosmopolitan type fella.
08:28
Ben
Space Pandora.
08:29
Jmike
It.
08:30
Case Aiken
It was nice.
08:31
Ben
I tried to just say cosm. Cosmopolitan. You just made a Cosmopolitan Swift reference.
08:35
Jmike
Yes.
08:35
Ben
I'm so proud of you. I was.
08:36
Case Aiken
I was very happy about that. I was trying to work my way through. I miss my ship. You.
08:42
Addy
I had nothing to do with that. I just want to say.
08:45
Ben
All right, so anyway, meanwhile. Meanwhile, back at the recap.
08:52
Addy
Saturday.
08:53
Ben
Saturday.
09:00
Case Aiken
Post credits.
09:05
Ben
Meanwhile, back in the recap. So he. Finn pulls Arvis back out towards us while we're shooting and laying down suppressing fire, killing a couple stormtroopers. We use a signet ring to get into House Badonkadonk's room and we're able to create like we close the door. There's a force field that comes up to protect us. While we did a skill challenge to get the communications tower on in the meantime, we also discovered that the. The town is armed with where they took like all the old guns off of the ship that crashed there and put it in the town and stuff like that. So we started taking pot shots. Our good friend Arvis over here actually blew up a TIE fighter before the Star Destroyer started raining down death upon us. So we decided to make a run for it. We ran downstairs.
10:04
Case Aiken
Only before that. You did have a small success.
10:07
Jmike
Yeah.
10:10
Ben
Oh, right, right. We called in reinforcements.
10:12
Case Aiken
Yes.
10:13
Ben
Forgot about that. Yeah. Reinforcements are on their way. As were trying to make our escape out of the building, we got cut off by a group of stormtroopers and a red headed officer who gave us the opportunity to tell her where a Kel Door force using Kel Door. We assume she's talking about Fosho in this situation because. Because he's probably the only force using Keldor on the planet.
10:39
Jmike
Oh, he's a Keldor.
10:40
Ben
He is a Keldor. Yes.
10:41
Jmike
J Mark.
10:44
Ben
Yeah. And now we're in big, big trouble because she brought with her two of the guys in red, the Imperial Guardsmen that we have originally fought back in Alderaan.
10:59
Case Aiken
Right now.
11:00
Ben
Well, we did fight. I was the one who killed them.
11:03
Jmike
I feel like it was you.
11:06
Ben
No, we all thought.
11:07
Jmike
No, no.
11:08
Case Aiken
Thank you for The.
11:09
Ben
No, no, no, no, you two. Thank you, Addie, for speaking up and speaking truth. You two sons of have been bitching about this. About the fact that I took down that Imperial Guard. You're like, no, we had something to do with it, too. No, man, we had something. Now you're trying to back out of it now that. Now that the shit's about to hit the fan. Screw you, J. You wait till I use my diplomacy to throw you under the goddamn bus, you son of a bitch.
11:39
Case Aiken
I'm curious how this is gonna play out.
11:42
Ben
And now the game.
11:50
Case Aiken
You have all been tied up, all right, in this poorly lit room. There's big windows that are letting sunlight in, but there's no lights on in the structure anymore because of the damage it has taken. And you, in turn, have all been struck at least once at this point by the two Imperial Guard. Four stormtroopers guard the room, each one taking a corner. Their guns are ready to turn on you if you apparently get away. And Mera Jade paces back and forth. Each of you have taken at least three points of vitality damage at this point.
12:45
Sarah
We tracked your ship to this mud ball. We know that the one called Fosho is on this planet. I represent people that are interested in this being. You're only making this harder by not discussing this with us.
12:59
Case Aiken
In turn, each of you is struck again.
13:05
Jmike
Each.
13:06
Case Aiken
Each of you taking three more points of vitality damage.
13:10
Addy
Sir, can you next time, can you just hit me on the other side of the face instead of on the same side? I just feel like it would be fair.
13:20
Case Aiken
The Imperial Guardsman who just struck you goes. It's better to specialize.
13:31
Addy
I can't argue with that.
13:36
Ben
All right, all right. Don't hit me again. I'll tell you everything you want to know.
13:40
Sarah
Really? Well, tell me.
13:44
Ben
I mean, yeah, he. I don't want to tell. I'm kind of scared because that guy right there is his henchman.
13:55
Case Aiken
They all turn to look at Stimbolt.
13:58
Jmike
Hey.
13:59
Sarah
Oh, is this true?
14:02
Ben
Oh, and when I tried to. And when I accidentally. Well, it wasn't accidentally, but those two guys used the Force and made me fight you guys. And I'm real sorry about that, and it won't happen again. I didn't want to, and I felt like I owe you a apology and. But they used the Force to make.
14:24
Case Aiken
Me kill your friend. Roll a bluff. Check for me, please.
14:30
Ben
21.
14:32
Case Aiken
Mara Jade is intrigued by this, and she ponders for a moment and then.
14:41
Sarah
Says, it Might be true. Tell me more. You say you were seduced and controlled by the power of the Force. By this being?
14:52
Ben
Well, seduced is a strong word, you know. I mean, hey, had drinks a couple times, but you know, I wouldn't really say seduced.
15:02
Sarah
Those gifted with the dark side of the Force can bend your will. I've experienced that before.
15:10
Ben
Yeah, that sounds. That sounds close to maybe what I experienced. I mean, I'm not a Force user, so I don't really understand what happened. I mean, you know, I'm just a simple guy just trying to make a living in the universe. I mean, I don't understand all this.
15:28
Sarah
Tell me, how did you come to be in the company of this being? Did it pick you out at random? Or was that thing already an associate of yours and then you fell under its sway?
15:39
Ben
Sure. You know, it's really cloudy. Like I don't really. You know, he just sort of was there and around and. I don't know, it's all just a fog. I can't really remember clearly. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I would gladly tell you anything I could remember.
15:58
Sarah
Maybe watching your companions suffer a little bit will jog your memory.
16:03
Ben
Oh yeah, I'm sure it will.
16:04
Case Aiken
And she leaves the room. Everyone else takes six points of vitality, damage and failures. You only take three. As they work you guys over.
16:16
Ben
Why do I get hit again?
16:18
Case Aiken
You're getting hit less.
16:22
Ben
This sucks.
16:25
Addy
I know you gentlemen are currently, you know, having torture us and everything, but I just did want to ask. Do you guys know if that lady is available? She is. She may seem a little angry, but I. I will. Will say she is. She.
16:40
Jmike
Sir, Sir.
16:43
Case Aiken
I saw her first.
16:46
Jmike
First.
16:46
Case Aiken
Oh God, you horny headed bastard.
16:49
Addy
And what about Jesse Ray and, and my sister?
16:54
Jmike
You.
16:55
Ben
It does seem like that was. Like there was a love connection.
16:57
Case Aiken
Wait, what about his sister?
16:59
Jmike
Nothing really.
17:00
Ben
Oh, no. Yeah, he. The, the horny one hooked up with his sister.
17:05
Case Aiken
Yes, don't you know. As did I. Oh yeah, that's right.
17:08
Ben
He got a little action too, from the other sister.
17:13
Case Aiken
Yeah, this might be my last sexual encounter before I die.
17:16
Addy
Speaking of which, I know you gentlemen are currently involved right now interrogating us, but you should also, before you leave the planet, check out the Reed butter. It is quite amazing. Just want to remind you that it will. It will quite literally change your lives. So.
17:36
Case Aiken
Oh yeah, you guys should definitely check it out. It's, it's. It is quite fantastic. And even if you don't feel that you can support it consistently like that. You could. Perhaps they have a funding program to develop more. I realize that you'll probably have better things to do, but you can go to patreon.com and you can go to.
17:54
Addy
Certainpov.com and you can be a part of the adventures that we are going through right now as well.
18:00
Case Aiken
Yes. They're trying all different types of ways of churning the butter and also different types of seasoning. You can do all kinds of things. Just go to certainpov.com.
18:11
Jmike
What was that again guys?
18:12
Addy
Certainpov.com I'm sorry.
18:16
Case Aiken
The force flew through me in that moment and I. The words just sort of came out. Yep.
18:21
Ben
Don't you know that's exactly what happened to me. Back to the game.
18:24
Case Aiken
Oh yeah. He is telling the truth. The Keldor as you call it, commanded him as he is now commanding many of my people. You must put him to death.
18:38
Ben
Put him down. Kill him. Set me free.
18:42
Case Aiken
Oh yeah. That would be a good idea. Many of us, none of us here are familiar with the force that like that we have merely witnessed the. The dark power of him as well as some sort of master that is. Is controlling him apparently like a puppet.
18:57
Ben
Yeah, there's another one on the planet somewhere that's even more powerful than that gas breathing jackass.
19:04
Jmike
T. Really, this isn't a nice guy.
19:07
Case Aiken
You guys each get struck again for three points of vitality damage.
19:11
Jmike
Why we're stop.
19:12
Ben
Are you getting information?
19:15
Case Aiken
Why use the. Guys, this is starting to hurt a lot. We should. I don't know if they're gonna let us go.
19:31
Ben
Hold on. Slippery Jim. We got them right where we want them.
19:35
Case Aiken
I said try. It's.
19:38
Addy
Are you saying you can do this all day?
19:44
Ben
Does that count as a reference?
19:46
Case Aiken
Are we allowing in the Patton Oswald scenario? Yes.
19:52
Ben
Drink. You drink. Well played, Addie. Well played. Proud of you.
20:01
Case Aiken
I know, I know. I love that we have started saying I'm proud of you after.
20:10
Addy
We're just trying to be more supportive.
20:11
Ben
That's right. The kinder, gentler, certain point of view.
20:21
Case Aiken
The red headed woman comes back in and she takes a blaster and puts it up to Stimbolt's face. Bye.
20:30
Jmike
Oh, hello.
20:33
Sarah
Tell me of your dealings with the Kel Dor.
20:38
Jmike
Well, I only just met him not too long ago.
20:40
Case Aiken
She takes the gun and smacks the barrel of it across your face to take three points of vitality damage.
20:47
Ben
Oh, here, let me hold. Why would you lie to her? J. Mike.
20:51
Case Aiken
You shouldn't lie to her. Out of game. How you guys doing this hurts. I'm a little scared.
21:02
Jmike
A little nervous, kind of.
21:04
Case Aiken
So Mara Jade has just smacked you across the face with the barrel of her gun and she puts it up against your forehead now and goes, tell.
21:15
Sarah
Me of your dealings with the Keldor.
21:19
Jmike
If I tell you, will you go out to dinner with me later?
21:22
Ben
Oh, my God. Oh, my God. That's the ballsiest thing J. Mike has ever done in real life. Or lies. Unbelievable.
21:45
Case Aiken
She shoots you in the knee.
21:49
Ben
So you're telling me there's a chance?
21:51
Jmike
That wasn't a no.
21:55
Case Aiken
You are.
21:56
Ben
I was hoping she's gonna shoot him in the head. I really was.
22:02
Case Aiken
So you are now crippled. You can only move at half speed, you dumb bunny. And you. I mean, you have all the issues that come with. Like you have one non functioning lake now.
22:15
Jmike
Cool.
22:16
Addy
Oh, is it at all possible for that? There may be a herd of Tauntauns nearby that I can make calls for.
22:25
Ben
I'd be really.
22:30
Addy
To help us in our time of need.
22:33
Jmike
No.
22:34
Case Aiken
No, there aren't.
22:35
Addy
I do believe I've whispered to Tauntauns before.
22:37
Ben
Yeah, good at whispering sweet nothings to tauntons.
22:40
Case Aiken
So, now that you've been shot, and I'm assuming you're either crying or screaming. One or the two?
22:45
Jmike
Maybe both.
22:46
Ben
I'll do both. Do both. J. Mike,.
22:50
Case Aiken
She goes.
22:52
Sarah
I am going to make myself very clear. The Kel Dor. I need to know everything about him. And you are going to tell me everything you know. And if you do not, I will be forced to clarify things in such a manner that you will prefer I had just killed you.
23:10
Addy
Now, Stimmy, I think that's a no.
23:13
Jmike
Shut up, Arvis.
23:21
Ben
You gonna tell her anything there, bud?
23:22
Jmike
I'm thinking.
23:25
Ben
I would tell her everything.
23:28
Addy
So I have not seen.
23:29
Jmike
What could I do here?
23:31
Addy
I have never seen this Keldorf feller ever in my life. But I do believe you. You gentlemen have said that you ran away from him at a certain point. If. If, if I. I'm trying to think.
23:42
Jmike
If I like him that much, though. What?
23:46
Addy
What do you mean if you like who?
23:47
Jmike
All right, I'll tell you everything, okay? Just don't shoot me again.
23:51
Addy
I mean, didn't you fellows say he shot at you the last time? Aren't you guys saying this guy is your enemy? Or do you still have feelings for this friend of yours?
23:59
Jmike
You.
24:00
Addy
Even though you call him names like Twilight Sparkles?
24:03
Case Aiken
Hey, hey, Pumpkin, let the grown up stuff.
24:10
Addy
I just want to make sure you guys are processing your feelings. And not just reacting to the situation at hand.
24:16
Ben
Rabbi Phil, now's not the time.
24:19
Jmike
Let.
24:20
Case Aiken
Let the big boys talk. I think I've got a Rubik's Cube.
24:25
Jmike
All right, I'll tell you what here. Go stay in the corner.
24:28
Ben
What else is happening?
24:31
Jmike
All right, I'll tell you.
24:34
Case Aiken
Go on, go on.
24:36
Jmike
We left him at.
24:37
Addy
What was your words followed that.
24:39
Ben
Tell you everything. All right, well, that's it. Good night, everybody.
24:45
Case Aiken
I'll tell you everything.
24:47
Ben
Oh, right. Oh, right now.
24:49
Jmike
Right now. Okay, cool. Oh, we left him at. Where did we leave him?
24:56
Case Aiken
Don't you know?
24:57
Jmike
I thought were at House.
24:59
Case Aiken
He. We confronted him down in the. In the Badlands, south of House Fedor. One of those House Badunkadong.
25:10
Jmike
I thought it was. I thought House Tiank. Right?
25:12
Case Aiken
Wait, we are at House Tiank right now.
25:14
Jmike
Okay, cool.
25:14
Case Aiken
South of us.
25:16
Ben
Where are we? How hard are they getting us?
25:19
Jmike
I thought.
25:20
Case Aiken
Wait, south of House Fedora. Yeah. Encountered the Dark One, right in that big old ship.
25:28
Sarah
Oh, the Dark One, is it?
25:30
Addy
That doesn't seem like it's politically correct to call him the Dark One.
25:35
Sarah
When you control the politics, you may call them whatever you want.
25:40
Ben
Damn.
25:42
Case Aiken
Just got Trump.
25:43
Jmike
That was no Arbus.
25:45
Ben
That was a no Arvis.
25:49
Jmike
He killed the other Ranger that we came with.
25:51
Sarah
Oh, did he?
25:52
Jmike
Yes.
25:53
Sarah
What is a Ranger?
25:55
Jmike
One of the guys to protects the land? I have no idea.
26:01
Case Aiken
Fen, who has been relatively quiet, is at this point charged to say I am. And the blaster of one of the stormtroopers flies out of the hands, one of the ones in the corner behind you, and it rushes. It flies into his hand as he shifts his weight topple over the chair that he's on and fires off a shot, killing one of the stormtroopers, like, directly in front of you guys, and rolls over and fires a shot, killing another. Unfortunately, there's still one more arm trooper in the room that is armed, one that isn't, and two Imperial Guards. And Mara Jade. Yeah. Can I have everyone roll initiative for me, please?
26:49
Jmike
That's how I was like, why would he do that when the Imperial Guard is sitting? But, yeah, the Royal Guard is sitting there.
26:55
Addy
14, 15.
26:56
Jmike
God damn it.
26:57
Addy
Do I necessarily need my arms if for an unarmed strike?
27:00
Jmike
19.
27:02
Case Aiken
Actually, no. That is actually interesting detail. You can use any part of your body, actually. You could headbutt, or you could use your feet, your knees, elbows, doesn't matter. Yeah. So the. This little display has inspired Slippery Jim, who has been appearing to be less and less with it from all the blows to the face to stand up. His. The. His. The binds that were holding him slipping away. Clearly having been cut by a small blade that you can see in his hand. Actually just as he stands up so quickly that the Imperial Guard in front of him who is holding his double bladed Vibro blade does not have a chance to free a hand to prevent him from grabbing the guard's blaster. And as he does so, he kicks the guard to knock him to the ground. Stimbolt. You are up.
27:55
Case Aiken
You are also crippled.
27:56
Jmike
Yeah.
27:56
Case Aiken
And we're tied up.
27:58
Jmike
Can't really do anything right now.
27:59
Case Aiken
You could try to make a strike strength check to try to break the binds.
28:02
Ben
Or you could gather information.
28:08
Jmike
What about diplomacy?
28:11
Ben
Leave that to the big guys.
28:13
Addy
I feel like I should still do my Tauntaun call.
28:15
Jmike
Yep.
28:16
Addy
Even if there aren't any Tauntauns. There might be.
28:20
Sarah
They.
28:20
Addy
Maybe there would be a service Tauntaun to help our crippled friends.
28:25
Jmike
I can heal from this right there.
28:26
Addy
Eventually.
28:28
Jmike
Or am I gonna have a limp?
28:29
Case Aiken
We'll find out.
28:30
Jmike
Okay.
28:31
Ben
You gotta live through this first. Dumb dumb.
28:34
Jmike
I'm just saying now is not the.
28:36
Ben
Time to think about the future.
28:37
Case Aiken
Now is the time to think about right now.
28:39
Addy
So are you doing the strength check?
28:40
Jmike
Yeah. I'll do the strength.
28:41
Ben
All right.
28:41
Jmike
22. All right.
28:43
Case Aiken
That is a sufficient role to. To rip apart the binds that are holding your arms back.
28:49
Sarah
You.
28:50
Case Aiken
You are able to stand. Except you are going to be at a really disadvantage. You're going to have to walk with a limp. But you are able to put like just enough weight on the bad leg that you don't take them all over.
29:05
Jmike
Exactly.
29:05
Ben
Don't worry, J Mike. You're going to be our new Reggie.
29:10
Case Aiken
So you freed yourself. But that effort has cost. Your turn. Yeah.
29:14
Jmike
Okay.
29:15
Case Aiken
Arvis. You are up. You. Your legs are free enough that if you wanted to you could stand a little bit into a kick. You could try to break free. You can do whatever you want.
29:24
Addy
I'm gonna do my unarmed strikes without arms.
29:27
Case Aiken
Cool.
29:30
Addy
17 And 22.
29:33
Jmike
Okay.
29:34
Case Aiken
Those both hit. I'm gonna say that you're trying to trip the closest Imperial Guard to you since that sort of would be what you'd want to do in that kind of situation by time.
29:45
Jmike
Okay.
29:45
Case Aiken
If that makes sense. So yeah. Those hit and give me. Actually you know what? I'm gonna use that as your. Your checks. Yeah. You succeed. And he. He's knocked over his vibro blade having fallen out of his hand and landing directly in front of pH.
30:05
Jmike
This is a lot easier than Last time.
30:07
Ben
Just wait. Just wait.
30:10
Case Aiken
Mara Jade's turn Now we're fucked. She steps back, but she also is going to shoot now. She shoots at Finn, and she actually misses. That's good.
30:22
Ben
I like Finn.
30:24
Case Aiken
Phallus, you're up.
30:25
Ben
All right, cool. This is my moment, guys. I'm gonna use my escape artist skill. Is 17.
30:36
Case Aiken
Yeah. That's sufficient to. To get free. So you're describe. Give me some.
30:42
Ben
I'm going to, like, dislocate my thumb so that I can slip out of the rope that they have. They're the bindings that they have me. And pull my arms out, free myself so that I'm in position to grab the vibro blade that is laying in.
30:59
Case Aiken
Front of me so.
31:00
Ben
So that I may strike with it at earliest opportunity.
31:03
Case Aiken
All right. I didn't have a taunt on to ride. That's the best I could do.
31:08
Ben
Where's your taunton? I need a taunton.
31:12
Addy
I know. Well, I mean, at some point, we can make a call for one, but, you know, there's no taunton Uber.
31:25
Ben
Well, now there's. There's gonna be.
31:29
Jmike
You put it out there. You put it out there, Arvis. It's gonna happen now, all right?
31:35
Addy
That's what space Tony Robbins says too.
31:40
Case Aiken
The Imperial Guardsman, who was tripped by Arvis, struggles to his feet. As he does so, he leaves himself open to an attack from. From Arvis. Opportunity.
31:54
Sarah
Get him.
31:55
Case Aiken
Oh, okay.
31:56
Ben
Sick him.
31:57
Addy
24 And 13 for another armored unarmed strike.
32:00
Case Aiken
You only get one attack for an attack.
32:02
Addy
Okay, I guess 24 is my first roll.
32:04
Case Aiken
Okay. Yeah, that's a hit. So give me some damage on that one.
32:07
Ben
It's.
32:07
Addy
I already rolled it. It's 11.
32:09
Case Aiken
Okay. Yeah. So you, like, kick him straight in the stomach as he's, like, struggling to his feet, but he. He still lunges towards Failures to try to wrestle away his vibroblade. So he's gonna begin to grapple with failures.
32:22
Ben
Yes.
32:23
Case Aiken
Can I get a strength check from you, please?
32:28
Ben
17.
32:29
Case Aiken
Okay, so you are actually. He's kind off balance and everything from being tripped and then kicked, so he's not able to sort of take control of it. On your turn. You can just fling him free right now.
32:43
Jmike
He.
32:43
Case Aiken
He is exerting no commanding influence over you. Like, awesome. Which is to say he lost the grapple, but he's still, like, engaged in you, so.
32:53
Jmike
Yeah.
32:54
Case Aiken
Okay. The other guardsman, who was standing in front of Slippery Jib but had his gun taken away, steps forward and tries to take three swipes at Slippery Gym. First one misses Second misses, they're all three.
33:18
Jmike
Miss.
33:19
Case Aiken
That's too bad.
33:20
Ben
I like slippery.
33:21
Case Aiken
Yeah, Slippery Jim is like. Is being very slippery and is like avoiding the hits as best as he can.
33:27
Ben
Slippery son of a. Slippery gym.
33:29
Case Aiken
It's kind of impressive to watch, actually. It's like it's watching this, like this bipedal beetle snake kind of just like worm his way around each hit. I don't actually have verbs that are not just animals. Like he snakes his way, he worms his way. Like wiggles.
33:46
Jmike
He shimmies.
33:51
Case Aiken
And Pumbaa. So the. The still living stormtrooper in the back corner raises his gun and starts from firing shots off. Or he fires off each shot. I should say he fires it at Finn, who activates his shield from his glove and deflects the shot into the unarmed trooper that actually kills the unarmed trooper. Nice. So you've got 1 stormtrooper, 2 Imperial Guard, and a. And marajade.
34:27
Ben
Am I wrestling with an Imperial trooper.
34:29
Case Aiken
Or a stormtrooper with Imperial Guard?
34:31
Jmike
Yeah.
34:31
Ben
Oh, I'm with one of the guards. Okay, cool. Excellent.
34:35
Case Aiken
Steamboat, you're up.
34:39
Jmike
They don't have anything on them that they can call for backup with, right?
34:43
Case Aiken
You would imagine that they probably do, actually.
34:46
Jmike
So I take Mars. She's a commanding officer. She wouldn't be able to call for anything. Right.
34:52
Case Aiken
If you get tomorrow.
34:54
Jmike
Well, she was like right in front of me, wasn't she?
34:56
Case Aiken
She stepped back when she. When the scuffle broke out. You'd have to move to her is the short answer.
35:02
Jmike
Limping right now. What is around me? Do we still have our weapons on them? They take those too?
35:10
Case Aiken
They took your weapons?
35:11
Jmike
Yeah, they would.
35:12
Case Aiken
The only. The only reason they did not take Finn's shield because they did not realize that the gloves.
35:16
Addy
Love.
35:18
Ben
His.
35:19
Jmike
He.
35:19
Case Aiken
They did take his rifle, which is why he took the stormtroopers.
35:23
Jmike
Wait, the other. The other Imperial Guard is down, right?
35:26
Case Aiken
There are two that are down that are.
35:29
Ben
So I'm wrestling.
35:30
Jmike
So.
35:31
Case Aiken
So there are four Imperial. Pardon me, There are four Stormtroopers, two Imperial Guard. Okay, so three now of the stormtroopers are dead. One of which was disarmed already. Okay, so there's still one armed stormtrooper in the room that just saw it grab a gun. Is there a gun near you? You will have to limp to get to the corners of the room to get to the two stormtroopers that went down there.
35:51
Jmike
I want to go for a gun.
35:55
Ben
Okay.
35:55
Jmike
Yeah.
35:55
Case Aiken
It's kind of a chaotic scene. So if you're. If you just start like Limping your way over. All right, so it's going to take you more than this turn to get over to them.
36:03
Jmike
Okay. What would I do for that, though? That. That just don't have to roll for anything. Yeah. Okay.
36:09
Case Aiken
Okay, Arvis, you are up.
36:11
Ben
Get him, killer.
36:12
Addy
I'm gonna go ahead and use escape artist to get out of these findings.
36:16
Jmike
I.
36:17
Addy
You know, it was nice doing one on arm strike, but I'd like to be able to just deliver a flurry of strikes instead. Okay, next turn around. So I'm gonna use escape artist. I have 14.
36:31
Case Aiken
That is not sufficient to get free.
36:33
Addy
Oh, well, damn.
36:34
Case Aiken
So you are struggling, and that's sort of taking up your turn to try to get. To get out.
36:39
Addy
But showmanship for my escape artist. It's my. For my performance today.
36:46
Case Aiken
All right, so Mara Jade is going to continue backing up to the door while firing shots at Finn, and that's. See if he deflects us. She doesn't. She shoots Finn. Yeah, she shoots Finn in the. The gun arm, and he was not able to deflect it, so he drops the gun and was clearly in a lot of pain on his arm.
37:18
Jmike
That's not good.
37:22
Case Aiken
Phallus, you're up.
37:23
Ben
Okay, let's get serious. It's about to get real.
37:28
Jmike
Is it, though?
37:29
Ben
All right, so I still. I still have the vibro blade in my hand while this guy's grappling with me.
37:35
Case Aiken
Yeah. You're gonna have to push him away to be able to use it. But because he did not succeed on the grapple, strength check will leave you with enough time to still make an attack. Okay. If you do a strength check to push him off and then.
37:48
Ben
And how far away is the other guard from us?
37:51
Case Aiken
A few feet. You guys were kind of, like, lined up, tied up in chairs, and they were. Each one was taking two of you.
37:57
Ben
Okay, I want to do. I want to use my heroic surge.
38:01
Case Aiken
Okay.
38:01
Ben
And do two moves.
38:03
Case Aiken
I want to.
38:04
Ben
I want to drive the vibro dagger into the one that's grappling with me and kill him and drive him back towards the other one, using his momentum, like stabbing him.
38:17
Case Aiken
I know what you mean. Okay, so there's gonna be three parts of this to make that work. Okay. So first is a strength check, and it's going to be a hard one to drive the blade that he. That he is grappling you with because, like, you're each holding part of it while he's, like, struggling for control. Oh, okay. So the strength check to do that. Yeah, there is the attack roll to successfully hit him.
38:39
Ben
Yeah.
38:40
Case Aiken
And then the heroic surge will be you would be doing a.
38:48
Ben
I'm gonna.
38:48
Case Aiken
Make that just a straight string check to, like, have the momentum to actually hit him, and then another attack roll. So actually four things total, but you could succeed. But I'm just, like, laying out.
38:59
Ben
Yeah.
38:59
Case Aiken
Let me rethink this, because that's a lot of rolls that I'm not likely to make.
39:08
Ben
So I gotta do a strength check to get this guy off of me and then an attack roll. Okay, I'm just gonna do that.
39:16
Case Aiken
I'm not gonna.
39:17
Ben
I'm gonna save my.
39:18
Case Aiken
So this is just him trying to push him away.
39:20
Ben
Yeah.
39:20
Case Aiken
So what I'm saying is that's an easier action to do than to, while he's still engaged with it, drive the blade into him.
39:26
Ben
Yeah, I'm just gonna do that.
39:27
Case Aiken
Okay. So that's just a straight strength check. Yep.
39:31
Ben
Okay. 11.
39:38
Case Aiken
You fail.
39:40
Addy
He.
39:42
Case Aiken
While you. While he was not able to overpower you before, he. You are not able to overpower him. You guys are still somewhat matched in strength. Yeah, you've got that sort of, like, farmer strength going for you. He's got years of military training in this particular moment. There's a lot of adrenaline coming for both of you. Okay, the guard. Can you give me a strength check yourself? He's continuing to grapple with you.
40:14
Ben
We're gonna do this again.
40:15
Case Aiken
Yeah. But it's on his end.
40:19
Ben
21.
40:22
Case Aiken
He does not succeed in, like, overtaking you. So you guys are truly locked off. Okay. The other guard having trouble hitting Slippery Jim. He is going to go for Finn now that Finn has been disarmed. So he's going to slash at him three times. So he. He goes to slash at Finn. His first swing. Finn is able to turn and blocks it with his. The shield from his gauntlet. But the double vibroblade part of the danger is that you can keep the momentum and redirect it. So blade one bounces off, but uses that momentum to drive blade two into Finn's stomach.
41:14
Jmike
That's not good.
41:15
Case Aiken
And he pulls the blade out and attempts to make another swing. But Finn, using now his failing strike strength, is able to. To get his shield up in time. But he falls to the ground, and he falls hard because his right arm is not able to carry any of the weight or take any of the weight when he lands. And he's got a big gash in his stomach that's bleeding now. And the trooper in the corner.
41:49
Jmike
Corner.
41:50
Case Aiken
He sees that Stembolt is making his way for one of the guns. What's your defense?
41:56
Jmike
Fifteen.
41:58
Case Aiken
He misses you.
41:59
Jmike
Yay.
42:00
Case Aiken
He is a Stormtrooper.
42:01
Ben
He is a Stormtrooper.
42:03
Jmike
They don't hit everybody all the time.
42:06
Ben
Not even the gimpy zabrak slowly walking.
42:13
Case Aiken
On that note, it's your turn actually.
42:15
Ben
Give him the bird and keep walking.
42:17
Case Aiken
No, you're not. You're gonna actually have to move to get to the gun still. But on this turn, you'll have gotten to it, but you'll only be able to take off one shot when you.
42:29
Jmike
That's all I need.
42:30
Case Aiken
Okay.
42:31
Ben
That's all I need. Suicide.
42:36
Case Aiken
Who are you shooting at?
42:39
Jmike
So the Imperial Guard is fighting with Finn. There's a Stormtrooper shooting at me. And Mara is shooting at Finn too. And Ben is grappling with the other one.
42:51
Ben
That's correct.
42:52
Case Aiken
Yes.
42:53
Jmike
So who isn't like, the worst? Well, I could probably should say Finn. Okay, so I'm gonna use a precise attack. Okay. And 19.
43:07
Case Aiken
That is a hit.
43:08
Ben
Yes.
43:11
Jmike
Trying to hit.
43:14
Case Aiken
You did not. Because if you had called it.
43:16
Ben
Oh, okay.
43:18
Jmike
So where did. Where did I hit him?
43:20
Case Aiken
You just shot at him. Okay, give me a damage roll.
43:23
Jmike
Six.
43:25
Case Aiken
Six, bro.
43:26
Jmike
Sixes.
43:27
Case Aiken
Oh, so. Oh, 12. Yeah, so that's not six.
43:31
Jmike
I was like, hitting six. Six. And I was like, okay, another six. So 12.
43:36
Case Aiken
Okay. Yeah, that was a good hit on that guy.
43:41
Jmike
Stay away from my friend, you bastard.
43:43
Case Aiken
You see it scorch. The plating of it. And the heat, you can see, causes it to sizzle as steam comes off of it. But when the steam clears, you can actually see a little bit of his flesh underneath of it.
44:00
Ben
He's fleshy.
44:03
Addy
Yes.
44:05
Case Aiken
So that was a great shot. Nice shot, J. Yeah. He did a thing.
44:08
Jmike
I know, right? Yay.
44:10
Case Aiken
Arvis, it is your turn.
44:11
Jmike
I'm doing things. Arvis needs a gun.
44:14
Addy
Get him a gun.
44:15
Ben
He needs to get out of his.
44:16
Case Aiken
Arvis's hands are.
44:17
Jmike
Oh, yeah, you're still tight.
44:22
Addy
So he's our little Hulk. I like to think more like a rocket Raccoon. Scrappy. Let's. Let's see. I kind of want to do, like one of those Jackie Chan style moves. And is there like a table or something that I can kick into somebody to help? Like, interfere? Maybe to help.
44:52
Case Aiken
You could do a tumble check with the chair that you're tied to spin around and hit them with the chair you're tied to. And I will say that you will get one roll, but you're throwing your whole body weight into it. So I will treat this as A single flurry. But you only get one roll for to make or break about a tumble check. So make the tumble check.
45:22
Jmike
Okay.
45:22
Addy
The Tumble check is 18.
45:23
Case Aiken
Okay, so now make an attack roll now that you're tumbling with it, because you are making sure that you're like effectively swinging it around.
45:29
Addy
Right? But it's only one attempt.
45:31
Case Aiken
You're making one attack roll, but if you do, you're throwing your whole body weight into the attack and. Sorry, who are you attacking?
45:37
Addy
The.
45:38
Ben
The guard that he's.
45:39
Addy
That he's grabbing.
45:41
Jmike
Okay. I know,.
45:45
Case Aiken
Frank.
45:46
Addy
That would be 25. That would be 25.
45:51
Case Aiken
That is a hit.
45:54
Ben
Well done. This son of a. Is dead.
45:58
Addy
Now it's 3D4. That's 13 times five.
46:06
Jmike
So.
46:09
Addy
Well, but it's only one. Aren't we doing only one?
46:11
Case Aiken
I'm saying we're letting.
46:13
Ben
You're putting it all into one. Yeah.
46:14
Jmike
Oh, okay. Oh.
46:16
Case Aiken
Holy no.
46:17
Addy
So we do.
46:18
Case Aiken
So we know the math. So this is 65 points.
46:20
Addy
Damn.
46:22
Case Aiken
He is knocked to the ground. He's on the ground and he clearly is in pain, but he has the weight of Arvis lying on him now, and he seems to be somewhat pinned. Although he might be able to wrestle himself free given some time.
46:39
Ben
Holy hell.
46:40
Jmike
Wait.
46:40
Addy
He took 65. 65 Points of damage.
46:43
Jmike
Imperial Guard dude.
46:44
Case Aiken
Yes.
46:47
Addy
Damn. Yeah, these fellows are tough.
46:50
Ben
I know. I killed one.
46:52
Addy
Yeah, they stabbed some people.
46:54
Ben
I myself out of game.
46:56
Jmike
Oh, really? Oh really?
47:02
Case Aiken
Out of game. While, say, stormtroopers are statted as NPCs which have. Which for example, don't get vitality points, the Imperial Guards are statted as if they were PCs, so they have vitality points and they are strong ones.
47:20
Ben
Now I gotta kill him.
47:22
Case Aiken
Actually, as with the previous fight, they can remain higher level characters than you guys are.
47:27
Ben
Now I really gotta kill him.
47:30
Case Aiken
That blow was. Was shockingly powerful. As you slam into him, you're even kind of surprised with like the force that you. You hit him with like the. The tumble was so perfect at getting your momentum to strike him that there's almost like this moment of silence as the room is like surprised to see something kind of crazy like that. Like this. This whole cacophony has been so big, but it's like this like loud thud, which is just like a different sound than what people had expected. That there's just enough of a pause that the noise of a horn in the distance can be heard and is not lost in the fight. Yeah. So Arvis, you are on the ground, so you're not really in A great position to, like, look out a window.
48:20
Case Aiken
But everyone else, like, looks out into the direction that the horns were coming from. Off to the east, as they see stormtroopers moving out to meet what you see two figures riding on tauntauns over a hill. They like, you see blasts coming off of them. So you can infer that these must be the other Killian Rangers.
48:47
Jmike
Both of them. Yeah.
48:49
Ben
That was great.
48:50
Addy
Is that Gandalf on a Tauntaun?
48:56
Ben
Look to these as.
48:59
Addy
No, my cousin Gandalf, he just smokes a lot of weed and rides tauntauns around.
49:05
Case Aiken
Coming over the hill. Additional tauntauns come over.
49:10
Addy
This tauntaun's name is Shadow Telegraph.
49:19
Ben
You're welcome.
49:21
Jmike
Sir.
49:22
Addy
Sir.
49:24
Jmike
Sir.
49:25
Ben
God damn it.
49:30
Case Aiken
So two tauntauns with lance wielding warriors have come over the hills. Additional tauntauns mounted by what appears to be much younger people.
49:42
Ben
They're like early teens.
49:43
Case Aiken
They look like somewhere in the range of like 14 to 16 year olds riding these tauntauns. And then you hear this like thundering sound. And coming up over the hills is a mixed herd of nerfs and banthas coming over the hill. These. The, the people riding the Tauntons are guiding them and leading them into the town. Stormtroopers start opening fire on it and you do see beasts fall, but they start charging towards this group. Yeah, it's a stampede being directed towards it. These are in my notes. These are in my notes. They've been when every time you referenced it, I was like, you motherfuckers. No, I fucking hate you because I hate me.
50:47
Addy
Can I make my tauntaun call?
50:49
Case Aiken
You may make your tauntaun call now.
50:52
Addy
Rocka rocka raka.
50:58
Ben
Oh, yes.
51:00
Jmike
This is happening.
51:01
Ben
This is happening. He said a real rock on rock.
51:08
Case Aiken
As a.
51:09
Ben
You had so much joy in your face as you did that it's like somebody just delivered pizza. It's like the ride of the rohir with Tauntaun's guys.
51:23
Case Aiken
The herd of mixed creatures charges in. Stormtroopers are letting off shots. But it's not doing enough. Like, there's just so many of these beasts of burden just charging in. Being guided by what you can infer are all the apprentices of the Achillean Rangers as well as two. You're gonna guess that one of those is probably Monty, who had spoken with Finn on the communicator. Finn goes, it's Monty and Cornyn, his apprentice. He there they came. Don't you know?
52:10
Ben
Yeah.
52:12
Case Aiken
And Mara Jade goes, oh, is this.
52:15
Sarah
Your little trump card?
52:16
Case Aiken
And the door to the room bursts open and a voice goes, no, I am. Don't you know. And you see this very aged looking person in long robes, but he seems to be like ripping or rippling muscles from his long robe. Extends out a sharp blade that you can see is attached to the barrel of a gun. And he fires off a shot at Mara Jade. She takes the hit. You can see that it burns some of her skin as she falls to the ground hurt and tumbles around to sort of like kill part of her clothing that is caught on fire. He then runs over and slashes at one of the Imperial Guards who is able or the one who was not engaged with Thalleous who is able to block the blade.
53:32
Case Aiken
But he does one of these where he likes hits with the blade and then follows it up with a hand like palm motion that sends the Imperial Guard flying back against the wall. And he's now pinned against the wall. And you hear Finn go. Lord Sphinx. Lord Sphinx, thank you for coming. And Sleeping Preacher goes, who the are you? And in response, this is the Lord of the Killian Rangers. He is the most powerful force user on the planet. And Mara Jade, shocked at the power of the individual who has just shown up, fires a shot at the window,.
54:34
Sarah
Commands open fire on the tower and.
54:38
Case Aiken
Runs and jumps out the window where I'm not gonna make you guys do spot checks. You can see that she has a chute that catches her. Or like that opens up as she's like falling down.
54:52
Jmike
Can I shoot the suit?
54:56
Case Aiken
You could if you could get to the window. Yeah, yeah you could if you could get. But you're gonna.
55:01
Jmike
You're.
55:01
Case Aiken
You're not gonna make it in time before a. A bolt from the heavens hits the tower that you guys are in.
55:07
Ben
Oh, and wanted and just bend that laser.
55:18
Case Aiken
If you had a sufficient heat source. It's actually more possible with a laser.
55:22
Ben
Laser moves with a bullet.
55:23
Case Aiken
Yeah, totally could do some like. That could actually be really crazy.
55:28
Addy
Like.
55:28
Case Aiken
Oh man, I'm excited about that idea probably.
55:31
Addy
Or if one of us holds a.
55:32
Case Aiken
Mirror, aim it right.
55:36
Ben
Damn it.
55:37
Jmike
I hear I still have my precise attack.
55:42
Addy
You don't have time to.
55:44
Case Aiken
For one thing. You never not have it. Like that's. You have that every turn.
55:48
Jmike
Yeah, I see that.
55:53
Case Aiken
This is your character sheet. I email it out.
55:57
Ben
There's a back to it.
56:00
Jmike
I just never know what to use it.
56:03
Case Aiken
J Mike, I'm going to open up with every round. You should use it.
56:07
Jmike
But you gotta use the perfect opportunity.
56:10
Case Aiken
You never Waste it. Yes. You get it once per round. Shoot.
56:15
Jmike
How do I shoot, Felius?
56:16
Case Aiken
You get it once per round. You get it every round. Okay, let's go.
56:21
Ben
You and me, gimpy.
56:24
Case Aiken
The tower is shaking a bit from the blast. It's like reverb is going off here. The Imperial Guards both take note and run as well for the window.
56:36
Addy
Sons of bitches.
56:39
Case Aiken
The. The tower seems to be in bad shape and. And Slippery Jim goes. I don't think this is gonna last much longer. We should probably try to get the power source from the basement and go.
56:54
Ben
Let's roll.
56:55
Jmike
Make sure you call the season, Autobots.
56:58
Case Aiken
I'm way ahead of you, my friend. Piggo. Piggo, can you. Can you be on your way? We are going to be needing to come out hot. Yes. Well, okay. Get here as fast as you can. And we're gonna have to move, so you should just. Just, just get here. Yes, I know. You'll have to wait. Okay. All right. Let's go get it. So you guys are going to run downstairs to what is clearly the power core of the. Of the tower. I am going to need repair checks from at least two of you to dislodge it. So good at repair.
57:40
Jmike
Oh, great.
57:41
Case Aiken
And whomever is not actively repairing it will have to make a strength check to push it free. Oh, damn it.
57:52
Ben
33.
57:56
Jmike
I want to show off today.
57:59
Ben
I'm good. I'm good at what I do.
58:06
Addy
You do any repair check.
58:07
Ben
He did.
58:08
Case Aiken
What were those numbers?
58:10
Ben
Mine's 33.
58:11
Jmike
Mine's 26.
58:12
Addy
17. For the. To push it.
58:14
Case Aiken
Okay. So they both get it disengaged, and Arvis is able to push it out. Once you start to get some momentum on it, you feel it become much lighter as this. As Lord Sphinx uses the Force to, like, draw it towards him.
58:33
Jmike
He.
58:34
Case Aiken
He starts to pull it out, and it is holding it with the. The. With the power of the Force and rushes out with you guys as you run out of the building. The. As soon as you guys come out, a shot comes down and blows up most of the herd that you guys had seen before. There's so much smoke and debris, you can't tell if there were survivors from those shots. But.
59:05
Ben
Suddenly I'm hungry for barbecue.
59:08
Jmike
All those four tauntauns and panthe.
59:12
Case Aiken
It was pretty bad.
59:16
Ben
Case with the understatement of the entire series. Yeah, it's pretty bad.
59:21
Jmike
Yeah.
59:22
Case Aiken
And that's when the Susan flies up to you guys.
59:24
Addy
Yay.
59:27
Jmike
The.
59:27
Case Aiken
The doors open and you guys are able to all, like, pile on to the Susan. It's still pretty crowded, Especially now that you've just loaded up this big power core on top of it.
59:38
Jmike
We need to get Finn to the med bay.
59:41
Case Aiken
Are you carrying Finn? Because he's.
59:43
Jmike
I don't know. I was about to ask, like, who's carrying Finn?
59:46
Case Aiken
Have a hard time.
59:47
Addy
I was hoping to get a service tauntaun, but we got barbecue instead.
59:52
Ben
Service.
59:53
Addy
I'm assuming we can't get the b. I mean, I know banta wings are amazing, but, you know, I think it's, like, Oregon trail Where we're not able to carry that much meat.
01:00:04
Jmike
The hell is Oregon trail, man?
01:00:05
Ben
That is a fantastic reference. That is.
01:00:09
Case Aiken
Hey, pumpkin. I see that you had an Apple 2 at your school, too. It was great.
01:00:15
Ben
I only like you went to school.
01:00:18
Case Aiken
Really happy for you all. We should keep on moving. Yeah, Pico, it's. It's okay. They're gonna see us no matter what. At this point, we. I'd rather be alive than have to worry about that.
01:00:27
Ben
All right.
01:00:29
Case Aiken
Yes. It's already fine. All right, let's keep on moving. You guys probably want to give spot checks for survivors.
01:00:36
Ben
Not.
01:00:41
Addy
8.
01:00:43
Case Aiken
29.
01:00:44
Ben
22.
01:00:48
Case Aiken
Phalleas. And no one else is able to spot a. A group of three of the youths that were riding tauntauns before. But those tauntons are dead.
01:01:00
Addy
They.
01:01:01
Case Aiken
They seem to be pretty burned and, like, kind of like moving their way through the bodies of all these domestic creatures trying to get themselves free, like, just to breathe, like there. It's like a suffocating pile of smoking flesh that they're, like, clawing their way through.
01:01:21
Ben
Survivors over there.
01:01:23
Case Aiken
Okay. Oh, I see them.
01:01:25
Addy
Thank you.
01:01:25
Case Aiken
Thank you, Velius.
01:01:27
Ben
That really hurt to do that. I'm not gonna lie.
01:01:32
Case Aiken
You guys, load up the. The three survivors and continue on. Yeah, this was a. This was an interesting show. So we. We're gonna need to find cover. The ship is still low power, but if once we get this installed, we might be able to take off. Downside is, boys, we've got a star destroyer in orbit that knows that we are here. So even if we stay hidden on the planet, when we try to leave, they will shoot us down from the sky.
01:02:02
Jmike
Wonderful. This is just great.
01:02:06
Ben
Well, why don't we just leave from the other side of the planet?
01:02:10
Case Aiken
We probably will need some time regardless. Yeah.
01:02:14
Ben
All right, well, let's. I always wondered that. Like, why do they always fly right towards the one ship? All right, let's.
01:02:24
Case Aiken
Sometimes it appears to be a blockade, and then when you actually go to come Back next time it's like, oh, there's the one ship.
01:02:31
Ben
You could have just went the other way and then circle back.
01:02:34
Case Aiken
We have Naboo are very familiar with those type of situations.
01:02:37
Ben
Yeah.
01:02:38
Case Aiken
It looks like so many ships at first and then.
01:02:40
Ben
And then it's just the next time.
01:02:41
Case Aiken
It's just the one.
01:02:44
Addy
Let's.
01:02:44
Ben
Is there like a. Like where is there like a forest or a cave with a monster in it that we could go hide in for a while? Like, we obviously don't want to be in the city because reasons.
01:02:59
Jmike
I mean, it's on fire.
01:03:01
Ben
Oh yeah. But I'm thinking like we don't want to go to like House Fedor because we'll get killed there too.
01:03:08
Jmike
Twilight Sparkle is there hiding.
01:03:10
Ben
Yeah. What about Sphinx? Where are you guys from?
01:03:13
Case Aiken
Lord Finx approaches.
01:03:18
Ben
Michael.
01:03:18
Jmike
Sphinx,.
01:03:24
Case Aiken
We're head east.
01:03:26
Ben
All right.
01:03:28
Case Aiken
The. The Temple of the Killian Rangers are that way.
01:03:31
Ben
That sounds perfect.
01:03:34
Case Aiken
There. Hopefully we can stay hidden any point. Or basically sort of like sight guides. Slippery gym as they fly towards. You guys approach this patch of woods. Even at the low altitude that you're flying at, it seems to be totally tree cover. And he directs Slippery Jim to bring the Susan down into the woods. Flying between the trees, these are actually truly massive trees. Like think redwoods. And the gaps are big enough actually that a ship that can carry 50 ish people is able to actually fly through them, although very tightly. And through it all. Eventually you come to this heavily shaded stone structure. It's partially covered in moss and shaped like a sort of like a boxy pyramid. Welcome to the temple of the Killian Rangers.
01:04:47
Addy
Nice.
01:04:48
Case Aiken
Here we might be able to strategize, figure out what needs to go on. Monty and Cornyn gave their lives knowing what the risk was. Hopefully we'll be able to let Finn recover. You. You've complicated our world, but we should be able to survive and grow from this. Okay. Thank you for that. Hospitality is well appreciated. I. I'm really happy for. For all of this situation. So guys, here's the deal. We've got a power source now we're going to be able to get the ship up and running. This is going to be great. But we. Yeah, we're going to need to sort of figure out how to draw some attention. Look, see, I got a little bit of an idea. They're not really after us. Like they don't like us. They want us dead.
01:05:53
Ben
Right?
01:05:54
Case Aiken
I mean they're fine crippled this man.
01:05:56
Ben
They had it coming.
01:05:57
Case Aiken
They stabbed that man. They killed a lot of teenagers. I mean, who kills younglings?
01:06:03
Ben
Only a monster.
01:06:06
Case Aiken
But they're here for Fosho. I say we try to figure out a way that we get them to play that off each other. And maybe if they get Fosho and whatever this other guy is, when maybe we able to get away after that, or maybe they ran down fire and destruction over the whole planet, who knows? But we have a better shot if they are distracted looking at someone for us to sneak past.
01:06:35
Jmike
Great idea, Slippery Jim.
01:06:38
Case Aiken
Yes, sir. I. I'm glad I thought of that.
01:06:42
Ben
You said. Sure did. All right, let's do it.
01:06:45
Case Aiken
All right, so we're gonna need to just scout out the area and figure out what they each are doing. And then we're gonna have to figure out a plan of attack. And with that, we're gonna end the session.
