Thank you.
Rolling start!
Finally, the crew is what they need to make sure that Flutterplume does not win the race.
And in return, get that hot tip on butt radar from crime boss Illo Vanden.
They have the bike, they have the spot in the race.
Now all they have to do is not lose.
Let's see what Pash McKenzie is made of, or how Sergeant Turbo will surely manage to cheat.
Is there anything else we want to go over?
Because it's been like three weeks or much, much longer.
Where exactly are we at the start of the scene?
I don't remember exactly how we left off.
Okay.
Yeah, we'll talk about that because I think I'm going to take us back a little bit.
Because we went a little bit ahead and I didn't really have a plan.
So I'll take it back a little bit.
There is one small retcon I want to do, unfortunately.
But it's just got to be done.
Time travel.
Yes.
You guys are now related.
So stop kissing.
Okay.
I'm going to take us back to when you guys got the call.
You know that you have a spot.
You've agreed to let Mac take the speeder.
And you went down to the path of coins.
You're just entering the race.
And you notice on the odds board or the scoreboard or whatever that it says Pash McKenzie.
Which is bad.
Which is very bad.
I don't know.
I don't know why.
And to be honest, I haven't prepared what that is.
So we could play with that.
I don't have.
I might come up with it on the fly.
Yeah.
It's bad.
Wait, what's bad?
Sorry, I was looking at something.
What the hell?
Wait, you son of a bitch.
Okay, fine.
All right.
I was looking at my book.
Okay.
All right.
I'm sorry.
I flew off the handle.
I'm a little tense lately.
No, you guys walked in.
And on the.
Are you still there, Andy?
Your camera went off.
Oh.
All right.
You're back.
You guys went down into the path of coins underneath to the race.
And.
You've just seen on the scoreboard that at one of the positions is a person named Pash McKenzie.
Pash McKenzie.
Which you now know is Mac.
And Mac has said, that's not good.
That's really bad.
Uh-oh.
That's really bad.
I don't know why that's bad.
Nobody.
Nobody knows yet.
Uh, I, I don't know.
Uh, I'm not sure if Mac knows.
Um, or I'm, I'm sorry.
I, I don't know if Boo knows.
Mac certainly knows.
But, uh, I'm not sure we tapped into that yet.
But.
All I keep saying is that's bad.
That's really bad.
And I'm starting to, I'm kind of a panic right now.
Well, why?
Well, I think.
This is in character.
Oh, okay.
What?
This is in character.
All right.
Joey.
I'm asking you as SAR.
Why do you keep saying that this is really bad?
Before, before, before we.
If we're lucky, you won't need to find out.
All right.
Before we start, I just wanted to make sure that there were no other questions before, before
we started.
I don't know.
Okay.
You guys can, you guys can go narratively if you want.
Well, so what are we doing now?
Um, you guys, you guys have just walked in and just noticed that, uh, your name is on
the board.
Um, you guys.
I'm imagining you're, you're pulling the speeder on like something like I would say
a cart, but it's not a cart.
It's like, you're just pulling it with you.
Like a horse.
Yeah, exactly.
Exactly.
Like a horse.
Did we fix it up?
Um.
We have training.
Yes.
Yeah.
No, you guys had the training montage and you guys worked on it before that.
So it's in racing shape.
Okay.
Right.
All right.
So, um, Max panicked.
Um, I don't know what, uh, this is really bad.
Um, sorry.
We need to get on our bikes and figure this out really quickly and get the F out of here.
Hopefully nobody will have noticed that.
Why?
I just, I just, it's, I can't talk about it right now.
Let's just get on the bikes and get this over with.
I mean, should I be looking out for someone?
Yes.
Everybody now run.
Uh, and, and, and, and as you, you walk in, you see, um, in the area where like the racers
garages are, um, you see like a handwritten sign on it.
Kind of like, you know, like when limousine drivers hold up the sign with people's names
on it.
There's like a, a stick and on the sign it says Pash McKenzie.
So you know that that's your, your assigned garage for the day.
Okay.
I walk up and I tear it down and I stop and rip it apart and throw it aside and keep
walking.
All right.
And, and as you guys are, so now you're, you're standing over by the garage and, uh, this man
comes up to you.
Um, he's a bald man.
He's, um, he's, he's impeccably dressed.
Uh, and he comes up to you and he's like, uh, you, you Pash McKenzie.
Yes.
Yes, I am.
Boy, you've got a, uh, good friend.
They pulled a lot of strings to get that.
You, this spot, you must be some important son of a bitch.
Yeah.
Listen about the name.
Do you think we can put up my, my, my Pash McKenzie?
I don't really go by that anymore.
Can we put up a different name or is, you know, uh, no, uh, I go by Pash McKenzie.
The whole thing, all the bets have been taken under Pash McKenzie.
This is not, this is a train that's not stepping.
And you know what?
There, there's actually a lot of action on you.
A lot of bets being made both for and against you in this race.
Uh, it turns out it's very unusual for a newcomer.
What are the odds?
Uh, the odds are, uh, four to one against.
Oh God.
Four, four, one against winning.
Oh, okay.
Do you take bets?
What?
What do I look like?
Go to, if you're going to make a bet, go with the droid.
And he points over to, uh, this, it, it looks kind of like a, um, like one of those betting
machines at the horse races with arms and legs.
And he's just kind of walking around, um, taking bets from people.
Um, and the guy says, all right, you'll have a few minutes to get ready here.
Uh, but you'll be right.
Then you'll be racing.
You'll be, and he points over to, uh, where you'll, you'll line up and, uh, walks away.
And I, uh, I'm going to go place a bet on Pash McKenzie.
Okay.
You're going to, you're going to bet on me.
Uh, I will, I will remind you, you've already bet $300 or 300 credits on Flutterplume to not
win at three to one odds.
Oh, that's pretty good.
Yeah.
I like that.
Mac, did you ever pay me back for your bail?
He did not.
Right.
Cause I get half of the purse, right?
Um, you guys didn't, you didn't exactly talk about the bail.
Uh, but yes, you guys are splitting the winnings right down the middle.
Uh, it will be a thousand credits.
Each.
Because I love you.
No, not each.
And I think he did say that.
No, you said it was 2000 credits.
Uh, I, when I re-listened, I had a thousand.
All right.
Well, then you still owe me for your bail.
Mac knows the price will be about a thousand credits is, is my note here.
Um, and, and to set the scene a little bit, you guys are down there.
Um, you've been there before, so you know what it looks like, but you've never seen it packed.
Uh, this is like, uh, I, I don't know if it's Friday or if they even have a Friday on this planet, but it's basically like a week, a week night when this is when people come to see the race.
Um, it's some big names coming up in this race, uh, including the person that you're trying to make lose, which is Amy Flutterplume.
She's the rising, uh, crowd favorite.
Uh, but people are starting to file in.
Um, the stands kind of look like, do you remember the demolition derby?
Yeah.
It's like that.
It's not quite as big as that, but it's that sort of, um, atmosphere.
Okay.
Are we underground or are we at, is that open sky?
You are underground.
I, I have a map.
I was going to bring it up, uh, narratively.
Uh, so I will show you what it looks like.
You are underground.
Uh, but there is a part of the track that is outdoors.
So the, the, the grandstands face like this hallway and the hallway has some windows in it to the outdoor parts of the track.
Uh, but half of it is underground.
Imagine something like, um, the, the underground, like a, like a road on top of a road, an underground road.
Yeah.
I remember you saying before that you pictured it like, um, that scene in the dark night.
Exactly.
Where they're shooting rocket launchers at each other in the underground street.
It's whacker.
It's very whacker.
It's a whacker, hardly newer.
That's lower whacker.
All right.
I'm putting a hundred credits on Mac or, uh, Pash.
Beep, beep, beep, beep.
Please.
Do you like to take a bet?
Yes.
One hundred credits on Pash McKenzie.
Pash McKenzie.
To win.
Well, wait, can I do to place?
No.
Yeah.
Um, and this is, so you look up at, and he says no, and you're confused.
And, uh, the robot says, uh, please take a look at the racers for tonight's, um, event.
And he pulls it up, uh, showing you that there are four racers for the event.
Um, this is where I'm retconning.
It used to be eight, but it's going to be too hard to manage.
So I, I took it down to four.
Okay.
All right.
What are the names?
Uh, the names are Amy Flutterplume is the favorite.
Um, grinder is, uh, third and, or not third.
The second favorite.
The anvil is third.
And in the last, the long shot is Pash McKenzie.
All right.
A hundred credits on Pash McKenzie.
Okay.
To win?
To win.
Are you, is, um, is, is, is Mack within earshot when you make this bet?
I don't think so.
Okay.
Because he's, he's probably still in the garage.
Okay.
He's in the garage.
Oh, I'm in the field.
In the field position.
Okay.
So, uh, all right.
So he's in the fetal position.
Uh, okay.
So he, he, he won't want to make a comment on you going over to the gambling bot.
Um, as, as you're laying in the fetal position, um, you, you hear a familiar face, but not that
you don't hear a familiar face.
You, you hear, you hear, you hear, you hear a familiar, uh, a familiar voice.
Pash, my boy.
Is that you?
Are you doing that?
Are you doing, are you doing okay?
I recognize you.
I recognize you by the sound of your face.
Yes.
It's quite a memorable face.
Does he know?
This is, you know, yeah.
I, you know, it's kind of, it's kind of like old times, huh?
Although.
Yeah.
Uh, I wish you hadn't posted my real name.
Uh, I don't know.
I don't really go by that.
Uh, hopefully nobody, uh, of note notices that.
You've always raced under this name.
And not recently.
I've been going by different names.
I, I got a million of them right now.
I think I'm Max Skyblade, but you should, you should be proud of your, your heritage.
I am proud.
It's just, uh, the Empire doesn't really have, think fondly of the, uh, of the, uh, of the McKenzie's right now.
The Rebels don't really think fondly of the Rebel, of the McKenzie's right now.
Nobody really wants to know about us right now.
So the family just needs to remain dead.
And I just need to walk away from it.
Family's dead.
My family, the whole Alderaan's gone.
Just need to, I need to, I need to go.
I need, it needs to be gone.
So I'm going by, I'm going by Mac, I think.
I want you to give me a thumbs up when I can come back.
Cause I kind of want to keep this a surprise.
Oh, well.
I think it's kind of, it's kind of late.
Not really.
Oh, okay.
All right.
Well, how did you know what I said then?
All right.
Give me the thumbs up.
All right.
Oh, hold on.
Uh, uh, that's all.
Okay.
All right.
Um, it's a little late now, uh, but we'll just have to make sure that you get out of here
right after the race.
Right.
I need to race fast and quick.
Like, and get this done with no messing around.
Isn't that the idea always?
That, you know what?
I always, I always miss you pointing out all my little flaws and how I say things.
Uh, it really makes me really appreciate you coming back into my life and possibly putting
us in danger.
I, I like to think it's made you who you are.
Uh, and, uh, as, as he says that, um, Sarn, Sarn starts rolling back in and he says, Oh,
you must've been who I talked to on the phone.
I don't think you guys have met yet.
Right.
Uh, no, I don't think so.
Okay.
I think I just answered the comm when he called.
Okay.
Uh, you must, you must be the, the person I talked to on the telephone or on the comms.
I'm Sarn Turbo.
Hi, Sarn Turbo.
And, uh, you guys are partners?
Yeah, you can call it that.
Partners.
This is my partner, Sarn Turbo.
Bounty hunter extraordinaire.
And assassin.
Pronoun, Sarn.
Huh.
That's, uh.
Nailed it.
Cumbersome.
Uh, but you look like you got, you sound like you guys are really getting along.
Uh, that's, that's good.
You guys are going to really need each other in this race.
Uh, we're very cumbersome together.
When we get together, just all, nothing but cumbers.
Great.
You've got that, uh, charm.
That, uh, it's good to see.
Uh.
You want me to roll?
I'm not sure for what, though.
Um.
I hope you guys, you guys need, uh, you'll need this, this time, this short time you have
before the race to, uh, get a game plan.
Okay.
Hey, you know, why is he so nervous about, uh, Pash McKenzie being up there?
I'm going to leave that between you two.
I'm trying.
Uh, you could just ask him.
I, I did.
And then he curled up into the fetal position.
It was really awkward.
Huh.
Interesting.
Huh.
It was like, it was like immediate.
Yeah.
I, I said, Pash, and then he just fell and curled.
Huh.
That's.
It was like one move.
It's like he's done it so many times.
That's it for the floor.
He's, in some ways, he's stayed exactly the same.
In some ways, he's much different.
All right.
But your home planet blowing up will, uh, do that to you.
Right.
You know, he's from, you know, we're from Alderaan.
Yeah.
The planet formerly known as, the debris formerly known as Alderaan.
Yeah.
I mean, the former planet known as Alderaan.
Yeah.
But thank you for making a joke about that, uh, that genocide.
Oh, yeah.
Genocide.
No problem.
Definitely.
Okay.
Well, this has been really, really great.
Uh, you guys, I will leave you to strategize.
Do you have any tips?
Well, uh, I can give you this map of the, the location of the racetrack, the entire thing.
Oh, that would be extremely helpful.
Yeah.
Well, you didn't ask.
I assumed perhaps you knew about it already.
I honestly don't know how long you've been here.
I kind of thought it would come up eventually.
You know, someone give me a map sometime.
Yeah.
That's past.
Just assuming everything's going to work out for him.
Remember what I said?
You're right.
Yeah.
He never changes.
He's been like that.
There are some things that say the same.
There are some things that say the same since he was a young boy.
I got lied.
Ugh.
Okay.
So, uh, I've deleted the picture that was over the racetrack.
I think you can see it now.
No, I can't.
I still see the openings.
Oh, no.
I didn't activate it.
Fuck.
I've been talking this whole time.
You guys have not been, uh, on the map.
All right.
So did you see the pictures of Eno and, um, the, okay.
Professor Lex Luthor.
I was hoping you didn't notice, but yes, it is a picture of Lex Luthor.
You know why?
I thought it was, I thought for a second it was Xavier, but Xavier doesn't have green eyes.
Thank you.
Thank you for pointing that out.
Uh, the rate, the race master does have a striking resemblance to one Lex Luthor.
Yeah, I guess he does.
Okay, and he, he hands you the map and, um, you take a look at it.
Um, I think you can see it now, right?
Yeah.
Okay.
Um, and you guys are, I don't remember.
Can you, you can see my cursor, right?
Uh, like me pointing around.
Barely.
There used to be a plugin that I had that made it bigger, but, um, I'm not going to try and
figure it out.
So, um, in this right here is where you're at.
This, this garage here, it's on, uh, the right side, the rectangle, Andy, your, your cursor
is very close to it.
You're circling it.
That is where the garages are.
You're in there.
All the races are in there.
Um, there's only four racers, as I mentioned already.
Um, that is what don't stop.
Oh yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
You can be there.
Uh, yeah.
Yes.
You, you have, you do have to, and we'll get into that for the, for the race.
Uh, so I guess I can say it now.
Um, this, this icon all the way on the left, uh, I'm going to use this as not maybe like a
scoreboard or something like that.
Basically it correlates the person to their speeder.
So, you know what the speeder looks like.
Um, the speeders stats, um, will affect the race.
So I just put a token and then right under it, there's speeder.
Uh, you can click on it.
I think if you double click on it, you should be able to see the stat sheets for each token.
Does that work for each, uh, speeder?
You guys can't open it.
Is it because it's paused?
Uh, I don't think that's why.
Uh, let me see if I have to.
I can pull up my own stuff.
Right.
Let me see if there's a token disposition.
No, I can't pull up anything.
Okay.
Vision.
But one speeder has four yellow or orange triangles around it.
Four orange triangles?
Oh, yeah.
I can change that.
Okay.
I can, I can take them off.
I can't, I can't see anything about them.
I don't know how to make this available to you.
Um, so we'll, I'll just have to tell you when there's something you need to know about the particular vehicle.
Okay.
If we do it that way, um, it must have something to do with, with permissions or something.
And I do not know how to change it.
Okay.
My, uh, display bars.
I don't think that's it.
Advanced options.
Yeah.
Well, good to know.
But at least you get to see what they look like.
Um, uh, the, the, the different speeders and you can see, uh, Mac under yours.
That is the speeder.
Um, I have an issue.
Like, yeah, I can't, I'm having a hard time.
So many, it's a lot easier.
If, uh, if, uh, with a mouse, uh, there is a setting to make it easier with touch pads.
During the break, I can look for a mouse, but I don't have one available.
Okay.
So you're just having trouble zooming in.
Like zooming and moving the map around.
I'm like stuck.
Like.
Yeah.
Cause in order to, so I think you can use the arrows to move around or is that just to move
your character?
That was only moving my character.
I think if, oh no, it doesn't.
I was going to say, if you don't have any character selected, you might be able to move around.
Configure controls.
I don't know.
I'm not sure why I don't take my control.
I don't know.
I've had this problem before.
Oh, you can use.
No, it doesn't do it for me either.
W A S D.
Does that slide you around?
What's W A S D?
It's like if you've like, those are the letters on the keyboard, like a first person or like
a video game.
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
W A S.
No, that doesn't do it.
Okay.
Maybe it's because it's, I don't think it would be because it's pause.
I tried on pausing it.
Does that work?
Does that, I unpause it.
Does that help at all?
Oh, I might try.
Can I exit and come back in?
Sure.
Sorry.
Pan zoom mode.
I don't override.
I can't do anything.
Was it two fingers?
It's fucking weird as hell.
I don't know what's going on.
All right.
Well, I'm here.
I can see the whole thing.
Kind of.
I don't think I can move around.
I can, I can move my character.
It looks like.
Just have an issue.
It's moving.
I know some track pads.
If you go all the way to the right and that's like a scroll bar kind of thing.
I just got moved over.
Did you move me over?
Yes.
See, that was.
I'm not sure what's going on.
Maybe I click.
Nope.
Does this.
Can you, can you go to settings maybe?
Settings?
Where's that one?
It's the gear.
Yeah.
Okay.
Then what?
Then configure settings.
I don't know what you can see.
So I, if you go to configure settings, is there a module settings tab?
Yeah.
If you click on that, if you go all the way to the bottom, there should be a section that says zoom and pan options.
It's a header.
Do you see it?
Yeah.
There should be a pan zoom mode drop down.
Yeah.
I would suggest changing that to touch pad.
Oh, okay.
That's perfect.
That, that might help.
I don't.
Uh, let's see.
So if you change it to touch pad, pan with two finger drag.
Okay.
So everything works better now.
Yeah.
Okay.
All right.
Thank you.
I didn't realize I had that setting.
So.
Yeah.
I, I didn't.
Uh, I know I had it.
I didn't know if anybody else had it.
So.
I thought, I, I don't remember having an issue.
So.
Who knows?
Cause I may have updated since last time and things may have changed.
Um, I'm going to keep it paused cause I don't want you guys moving around right now.
Um, and just so you don't accidentally do it.
Um, all right.
You guys are in that garage.
Uh, the other races are in there.
Uh, I don't have the tokens over there, but cause I don't want to move them from where they're
at.
Um, but they're, they're in there and they're all working on their own, their own bikes.
Um, you know, is standing there and he takes a look at your bike and he's like, Oh, that's
your bike.
It looks rather familiar.
Uh, I think the guards around here used to have a bike like that.
Yeah.
They used to have two of them just like that.
And then what?
Now they don't.
Oh.
Um, okay.
Uh, you know, it's customary to name your bike with a nickname.
Um, whose bike is this?
Mine.
Uh, do you have a nickname for it?
No.
Uh, you want to give it one.
It's good luck.
They say.
I think we should call it the Kahuna splash.
The big, the splash.
The splash.
All right.
The splash.
That's good.
I like that.
I like our beach thing.
We're going now.
Yes.
Beach theme.
Star Wars.
All right.
That's gotta be something.
The splash.
Okay.
Uh, I've changed it on there.
You guys can't, you guys can't even open it.
So you won't be able to see it, but, uh, you'll just have to trust that it's there and it's
super cool.
Uh, okay.
Well, all right.
So, and then he goes over with you with the map.
Uh, I don't, I'm not, I don't really want to do his voice.
So, uh, where you're at now, these round circles, and you can see those from where you're
at the round circles.
They're huge pillars.
You guys are underground.
These pillars are holding up the, uh, the, the casino, the casino district above you.
Um, it's also points of jewels, coins.
Yeah, you're right.
The path of coins.
Yeah.
Uh, it points up here that, uh, so this, this area here, these, this is a drainage pipe and
it, yes.
So they call here where we're at now, uh, is the pillars, the pillars of the path, uh, is
just the name of this section of the race.
The pillars of the path.
Uh, up above us is this drainage ditch.
It goes outside.
Uh, it's called the pinch because it gets rather narrow there.
Then you go over this, this water here.
It's the drop that goes into the razor blades.
They call it that because these, these plants are rather dangerous.
You do not want to slide into those.
Uh, so fair warning.
You then will go into the gent curve, which is a little switchback area, uh, around this,
this dilapidated droid here, or a machine.
Uh, that comes back around into the switchback where you come back up to grade, turning and
going into a long stretch.
They call the long run back into the start or the finish line.
Um, right under here is where you can see that it's kind of a roof.
It's like a gray.
You can kind of see some, some shingles on top of it.
That is the stands where you can see the people, uh, eating space hot dogs and shit like that.
So just so we're clear, this is not a loop.
It's just a one path.
No, it's a loop.
So it goes, it goes, so you would start.
So at this yellow line is where you would start.
Uh, we will line up the bikes there when it is time.
Uh, the, the lights will, will indicate when you are to go.
Then you will go out, turn around into the pillars of the path, uh, zigging around the
poles.
Oh, I see.
Turning into the pinch.
Dropping down the drop into this, into a rocky area, turning quickly, being sure to avoid the
razor blades, turning down the, the geneth curve or the, the genth curve.
Genth curve.
Long run.
Then turning down the switchback.
Switchback.
And right back to the long run to the finish line.
The race in total is three laps.
Uh, you will need to work together as any race does.
I assume you guys have comms for each other.
You don't share.
Yes.
Okay, great.
Great.
That's excellent.
Do you want to, you can join the call and, and help us out too.
This is your journey, not mine.
Ah, you know, that's typical of you.
Right when you need you, you go off and piss off.
I'm not even sure why you're racing.
You never really told me.
You said it was a long story.
I believe.
We're tracking somebody down.
We're, we're bounty hunting.
Yeah.
Well, I don't want.
Hunting bounty.
I don't want to.
I don't want any.
Named butt radar.
Yes.
That sounds very important.
As he starts to giggle.
And.
Oh, don't giggle.
I'm a very important man.
Now I have my own ship and crew.
He's so important.
He has several aliases.
I have several aliases.
Some, some of them are diplomat.
Other.
I'm thinking of a colonel.
Most of them.
Diplomat.
Even here.
I'm supposed to be a colonel.
Named Darren Macklin.
Right.
I am doing very well for myself.
I can, I can see that.
You're very calm.
And collected.
And confident.
I am very agitated right now.
And very nervous before a big race.
All right.
Well, I will leave you.
With my very real name.
I am going to leave you two to prepare.
And relax before the race.
You have approximately 15 minutes.
Oh my God.
Oh, that's just enough time to get a hot dog.
I'm sorry.
No, you can't leave.
All right.
Zarn, don't go anywhere.
Zarn stops his stroll.
As he's walking out of the garage and turns around.
Zarn.
Why not?
Because I am going to barf.
Don't barf.
I'm going to barf.
And I haven't eaten.
You need those fluids.
I haven't eaten anything.
And I'm going to barf.
What, you think I'm just going to go buy a space hot dog for me?
All right.
There's going to be a check.
There's going to be a check here.
I'm not sure which.
A cool check.
That will be for Mac.
For barfing?
Yeah, for barfing.
Oh, God.
What do I do?
So it's normally average to be able to hold your barf.
However, this is a stressful situation.
So I'm going to set like a two setback die.
So two black and two purple against your cool.
Is that in the book?
Vomit?
It's average for barfing check.
It's average to hold in your barf.
So what was it?
Two difficulty?
Two purple, two black.
Black.
You want me to barf?
That's all there is to it.
He didn't.
No, I didn't barf.
He's got three threats, though.
Yeah, I am definitely crouched over.
Buster just hanging down.
Just like, oh, my God.
You don't understand, Sarn.
There's one dry heave in there is the threat.
You don't understand, Sarn.
Why don't you understand?
Because you haven't told me anything.
All right, listen.
The McKenzie's, we're not liked by very many people.
I was trying to take out how many names is because.
Wait, so Cash McKenzie is your real name?
Yes, it is one of my very real names.
No, no, no, no, no.
Your birth name.
Yes.
They're not very popular.
We're from Alderaan.
We supported the Empire.
And then the Empire blew us up.
I'm not very, they're not fond of any of us, right?
The Empire hates Alderaanis.
I mean, you can ask Eno.
Eno?
No, Eno is left.
Oh, of course.
Eno is left.
You're going to call my bluff?
Yes.
You're going to call my bluff on my discrimination.
Are you serious?
Are you gaslighting me?
Maybe.
If I knew what gaslighting meant.
Do you want to hunt for you trying to light me on fire?
Trying to get me, like, a riled and get a fire lit, you know?
Yeah, I am.
All right, listen.
It's not a good idea that my name's out.
Hopefully nobody on the wrong side of things has seen that name.
We just need to get this race done and get it out of here before any trouble, you know, any trouble shows up.
By the wrong side of things, you mean the fucking Empire?
Empire?
Rebels?
They don't like my people.
They don't like my family.
What on God's green earth did you do to the rebels?
My family supported the Empire, all right?
I didn't.
Dad sold ammunition still.
What was I supposed to do?
I was a kid racing in my high school.
My dad's selling fucking ammunition.
This is the five-minute warning for racers.
Five-minute warning for racers.
Oh, boy.
We better get you up there and, I don't know, put a space hot dog into you somewhere.
You got any real?
No.
I will remind you, you do have some real methadone.
Oh, yeah, but I thought you were going straight.
You're trying to go straight.
You're right.
You want some methadone?
No, I'm good.
I'm just joking.
I just need to focus.
We just need to focus.
Nothing bad is going to happen.
Sarn just pours all of the real methadone into his eyeball.
Oh, my God.
Into Sarn's eyeball.
Into Sarn's eyeball?
That's going to do something to me.
Wait.
You didn't just pour the drug into your eyeball?
All right.
So, real methadone.
Yep, this is going to cause some setbacks.
Oh, boy.
Would you like to undo that?
No.
Good.
Thank you, Andy.
You must now live with your consequences.
I said it.
You must now live with Andy's consequences.
Thank you.
I'm not the one racing.
You just poured methadone on my eyes.
Three-minute warning for the racers.
Three-minute warning.
Onto my eyeball.
Oh.
I thought you said you poured it onto my eyeball.
Well, no, no.
I said his eyeball.
But then I remembered Sarn is non-binary.
So, I replaced it with Sarn's eyeball.
So, you did.
Okay.
So, I'm not Kai right now.
No.
We're not gaslighting you.
What?
We're not gaslighting you.
Tiger, is that what you thought I meant, too?
I was confused.
I thought you poured it into Mac's eyeball forcefully.
No, no, no, no, no.
Oh.
Okay.
I would not have allowed that unless Boo had said that was okay.
But, moot point.
Yeah.
All right.
Let's.
All right.
Let's drag the bike up there.
All right.
Cash.
All right.
As you guys cart the bike up to your polling position, which is fourth, by the way, you see
in front of you Amy Flutterplume, the one that you're talking about that needs to lose.
And she comes up.
She's clearly the crowd favorite.
As she walks by, the crowd is going apeshit.
They love her.
She's dressed in basically like a wrestler's uniform.
She's got like a professional wrestler with a crazy collar.
She's got a face mask on with leaves from a Flutterplume.
The Flutterplume is this beautiful peacock vulture animal.
And she's totally embodying it.
What do we call it?
The pleagle?
Oh, you're telling me I'm underdressed?
The peri-eagle.
Yes.
The peri-eagle.
If I had known I was supposed to dress up, I would have at least put on a mask.
It's atypical, but it's totally working for her.
Is it?
Is all the other two guys dressed up in costume?
So you see the other two.
One is a gran.
That's the name of a species.
You've seen it before.
He looks like this.
Oh, yeah.
And the other one is a somewhat overweight Celestin.
Oh, I love those guys.
So you can see just based on some of the context clues.
This is the anvil, which seems obvious because he's a big honking, just real piece of nut.
You can tell that he is, you know, he's kind of yelling at his crew.
He's not a very nice person.
And he's just big and somewhat imposing.
And as we walk by the flutter plume, I ask her or I tell her, I was like, or I guess it's an ask too.
I didn't know you really like bookies that much.
And as you as you try to talk to her, she's her head is just it's it's completely focused on what she's doing.
She looks at the crowd a little bit and makes her gesture.
But she's just looking down and guiding her her her her rig to the first place position.
And she's not paying any attention to you.
Well, then I yell it louder.
She's she still is is is not paying pay.
It looks like she's not paying attention.
You roll a perception check.
It's like that scene from The Office.
Louder, but liquor, but liquor prices have never been lower.
Difficulty.
Average.
Yes.
OK, I don't.
So you can see that she's trying to ignore you.
And because this is just this is her pregame sort of thing.
But she's doing one of those things where she's like looking ahead.
But her eyes, you know, like you did when you're on TV that one time.
For the restaurant show.
And you just did that.
You did the side eye.
You can see that she's side eyeing you.
And that.
Can I remember what the picture said?
I assume Sarn does, but I don't remember.
The picture said said pay up or else.
And it was a picture of a family and a young young woman.
It was like a mom and a dad and a young woman.
Oh, there were no names on it or anything.
No, the the writing on it was it was written by someone.
Pollard told you that the script or the dialect or something suggested that it was written in a threatening manner by a gang that calls an area of town called Rusty Reach their home.
Rusty Reach.
Rusty Reach is, yeah, the name of it.
Then as soon as Sarn sees her like.
Doing the fake ignore.
Yeah, doing the fake ignore.
He goes, man, I cannot wait.
Wait to get back to Rusty Reach.
And this gets her attention.
She looked.
She just she turns and just stares daggers at you.
And then I turn my head and walk away to back to our place.
All right.
She is clearly agitated.
She you got under her skin.
It's exactly what I wanted to do.
According to plan.
My well, well thought out plan.
OK, you have lined up.
People are starting to fill back into their seats.
And you're you know that there's only like a couple moments before you have to jump on the bike.
Anything you want to do right now?
I don't know.
I don't think I need to do anything other than.
I don't think you need to do anything either.
But if there was one last helmet on.
Oh, yeah.
I put my helmet on since I left the garage.
OK.
Everyone knows me as the you know, I was still trying to play up Darren Mackler.
And you do notice that people are kind of whispering to each other and pointing at you because they recognize the helmet and they recognize you as the guy from the net.
So.
Wow.
But no one's quite sure.
So they're all kind of talking to you.
Is that the guy from the net?
And such a better name for our bike.
The guy from the net.
No, just the net.
The legend.
You mean the legendary racer Darren Macklin is actually Pash McKenzie?
Yes.
Kind of crazy, right?
Crazy how rumors get started.
Who would have known?
Who could have known?
Who would have known his name is not actually Declan Macklin?
Oh.
Could you imagine that Mike got popular as a fake racer named Darren Macklin?
The fake brother.
That's how I got to my fame.
He.
As the fake brother to Jared Adler.
He is the master of deception.
What?
Jared Adler.
What about Jared Adler?
What happened to him?
Who knows?
It's really not worth writing right now.
All right.
So you jump on the bike.
You make one last nod to Sarn.
Sarn sort of like just trying to play it cool.
Shuffles off with all of the other crew.
Back towards the garages.
No, no, no.
Sarn walks in front of one of the other bikes.
Very slowly.
And goes to the stand to get a hot dog.
A space dog.
Okay.
So he's.
So Sarn is walking pretty cool.
And he starts to follow the.
The.
The crews back to the garages.
And at.
At the last second.
He peels off.
And he sees a hot dog vendor.
Peels off.
Flips.
A credit.
Let's say they're five credits.
So take that out of your inventory.
And he flips.
He flips five credits to a.
A hot dog boy.
And like the first.
The first row.
And.
The hot dog vendor.
Throws.
A hot dog towards Sarn.
And.
I'm going to do it.
You got to roll a.
Coordination check on this.
It's.
It's an average.
Oh.
Wait.
I have two boost eyes.
For coordination.
Oh.
Why?
I don't remember why.
Because stalker.
Stalker.
I have two.
Two things of stalker.
And.
Stalker adds boost to stealth and coordination.
Oh.
Interesting.
All right.
So it's.
It's average.
I would think.
Catching a hot dog.
And I guess you get two boost eyes.
All right.
You succeeded.
All right.
It comes with.
It comes with mustard and onions.
All right.
That is disgusting.
I'm going to put that.
I'm going to write that down too.
Just in case.
Mustard.
Sarn does not like mustard.
And onions.
No.
It's advantages.
All right.
And then.
You.
Rejoin everybody walking back to.
The.
The shed.
And that's where you are right now.
I'm going to.
Unhide some stuff for a second.
As we talk about the mechanics of the race.
Hold on.
Oh come on.
Oh I know why.
All right.
You should see some shapes have appeared in the map.
I have labeled everything.
Each one of the.
Parts of the race.
The pillars of the path.
So what we're going to do.
And I don't have this quite figured out.
I'm making this up as we go.
So if you have some suggestions that are fair.
Let's.
Let's do that.
But.
You.
We were going to.
We're going to race through each one of these stages.
Doing a check.
Along the way.
At the pillars of the path.
It's a streetwise check for the racer.
Which would be.
Mac.
And an assist.
For that check.
Would be underworld.
Um.
I'm thinking that.
Um.
You would do.
Uh.
The check.
And it would give a boost.
To Mac.
When he does his check.
Um.
Okay.
Each one is going to be.
Each.
Um.
Each stage.
Will have its own difficulty.
Based on the speed that you're going.
Okay.
You can change your speed.
Uh.
As you're going.
But.
Basically.
The faster you're going.
The harder the check is going to be.
And if you're going the fastest.
Then you will be in first.
Okay.
We're going to.
Yeah.
We're going to.
We're going to have to develop this as we go.
I just have a loose idea.
I didn't have time to actually run through it.
Um.
So.
Hopefully it works out.
Now.
The assists.
Aren't always going to be something that.
Um.
You can do every time.
So it's not just going to be each time.
We're going to be rolling both.
I'd like to connect it narratively somehow.
And be like.
Okay.
Well you can't assist every single time.
Because.
For instance.
In order to do razor blades.
The assist is perception.
In order to assist in that perception.
You're going to have to be.
Close.
Or seeing it.
So you might need to take some time.
To go see it.
So maybe you can only do a check on every other one.
Or every second one.
Depending on how much of a.
Action you would have to do.
Does that make sense?
Yes.
Okay.
We'll go through it.
Because again.
We're.
We're kind of developing this as we go.
So.
Um.
Hopefully it gets.
A little bit more clear.
As.
As we go along.
Um.
I tried my best.
To make these all different.
And also.
To make some logical sense.
So we're not just rolling.
Planetary.
Piloting every time.
Yeah.
Um.
And.
If you have a.
Better idea.
For the assist.
Or the.
The check.
Let's talk about it.
I don't.
Uh.
For the.
The.
The racers check.
These I feel pretty good about.
The assists.
I'm a little bit less.
Um.
Good about.
So.
If we want to.
Change that.
Um.
Let's.
Try not to just.
Min max it.
We're.
Just trying to do what.
We're the best at.
Uh.
To try and.
Yeah.
Win.
No.
Let's try to keep it.
Narratively interesting.
All right.
Okay.
This shall be interesting.
All right.
It's going to go in order.
As if it were combat.
So we will roll.
For initiative.
Um.
Each.
Bike has its own.
Top speed.
Um.
So when we.
Uh.
You will have.
Where's my.
Shit.
I think it's funny.
That like.
Boo didn't want the real.
Or Mac didn't want the real.
Porn into his eye.
Then boo's over there.
Smoking.
I'm not driving.
Wait what.
Yeah.
All right.
Um.
You can do.
An action.
And a maneuver.
On each turn.
Basically.
Each leg.
Of the race.
Will be one turn.
Um.
Yeah.
And.
I did put in the PDF.
For vehicle maneuvers.
In here.
I don't know how much.
This is going to.
Is going to apply.
So above.
Where all of the characters are.
There's a little.
Like note.
Uh.
I sent you the PDF.
So you can take a look at it.
Uh.
But if you close it.
And come back to it.
I think a lot of what we'll be using.
Is.
Under vehicle maneuvers.
Excel.
Accelerate.
Decelerate.
Fly.
Drive.
Evasive maneuvers.
Stay on target.
I don't know about stay on target.
Punch it probably.
And.
Where can I find that again?
That's it.
I don't need to know anymore.
Punch it.
Okay.
I'm going to keep punching it.
That's it.
Where can I find that again?
Okay.
On the left.
I popped it out.
But.
Then something happened.
All right.
On the left side.
You see where all the different racers are?
Yeah.
Above it.
There's the little.
There's the little note.
I see you're.
You're right by it.
I can see your cursor.
I don't see anything.
Oh.
Okay.
Um.
You may have to.
Remember when we have to show notes.
Like on the left.
There's all the little chiclet buttons.
There's the bookmark.
Yeah.
Chiclet.
If you click on that.
Bookmark chiclet.
And then the pin.
It should show all of the notes.
It's called toggle notes display.
You don't see it?
No.
Uh.
If you can send it to me again.
Not to be a pain in the ass or anything.
No.
Too late for that.
Oh.
No.
Okay.
Um.
Yeah.
I'll remind you too.
That you've done some rigging.
To your.
Um.
To your speeder.
Beforehand.
Mac.
And.
For one of your checks.
You can activate the turb.
We called it.
Um.
To allow for two boost dies.
Um.
That's only good.
What's that?
I was going to ask.
How.
What's.
How many times it's good for.
Um.
I think.
Originally I said.
Once per race.
So.
Once per.
Like.
This whole race.
Or once per.
Um.
Circle.
Uh.
Once.
Today.
So.
Once for the whole race.
Um.
I'm curious how this goes.
When we're going around.
I had considered.
That.
Um.
You guys will have like a pit stop.
In between each round.
I think.
Maybe we'll do that.
Uh.
I also set it for three.
Um.
Hopefully that doesn't take too long.
I don't.
I have no idea what to expect.
I'm baffled.
Okay.
Yeah.
I know.
This is going to be tough.
Uh.
Yeah.
You look confused.
Andy.
Or maybe you're frozen.
Oh.
He's frozen.
He's frozen with the confused face.
Oh.
He's back.
No.
I'm still confused.
Oh.
Okay.
That was funny.
All right.
Are you still confused?
Always.
Okay.
Um.
All right.
Let's.
I.
I've used.
So what I'm planning on doing.
Is using this down here at the bottom.
All these different.
Marks here.
For.
Um.
To keep track of who's in first.
And stuff like that.
Uh.
I did.
I was just about to ask.
That girl.
Yeah.
I just deleted her.
That was.
I.
I went from eight.
To.
Uh.
To five.
To.
Um.
It's only four.
Because I'm gonna have to roll for the other players.
And I'm gonna.
I'm gonna have to roll for three different players.
So.
All right.
Each one of these has a different.
Um.
Difficulty.
The difficulty is determined by.
The speed that you're going.
So let's say you're going speed of four.
Well I don't think you'll be going speed of four.
Because your bikes are only.
Oh no.
Your bikes do go a speed of four.
If you're going four speed.
Then.
It will be four difficulty for every check.
Um.
And.
Even the assists.
The assists will get.
Get you boosts.
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
And he.
And also the assists.
So you would roll against four difficulty for the assist as well.
Gotcha.
Um.
Each one of these.
These.
Uh.
Stages.
Has their own.
Difficulties.
Um.
Or not difficulties.
Setbacks as well.
So for instance.
Uh.
The long run.
Uh.
Has one setback.
Because you'll be going.
Really fast and really straight.
Um.
It has good visibility.
But any skill checks made to catch up.
Oh no.
No.
It's very simple.
And it has good visibility.
But any skill checks made to catch up.
Or to overtake the leader.
Suffer.
Setback due to terrain.
Uh.
That's just for.
For that.
For instance.
All right.
So I'm going to add everyone here.
Not.
Um.
All of the racers into.
Um.
Combat.
It's not combat.
Combat.
But.
That is.
It's.
We will be keeping track.
Basically as if it were.
That's.
Basically as if it were combat.
So.
All right.
And a gentleman.
Start your engines.
Get the.
Get my racer going.
Bow.
Uh.
Does anything happen as you start it up?
Hey.
Matt.
Yeah.
Start your engine.
Oh.
It's start.
Well yeah.
You're right.
Shit.
You can't hear anything in this helmet.
I knew you'd forget something.
All right.
It's.
It's out.
Okay.
It's punched.
I'm punching it.
All right.
Um.
So.
The race starts.
Um.
We get a roll for initiative.
So.
If you go to the combat tab.
You will see.
All of the.
Uh.
Racers in there.
You should see your own.
You should be able to click on that.
The dice there.
To roll initiative.
Uh.
We will be rolling.
Cool.
Because everybody knows this is coming.
All right.
And let's roll.
I'm just going to roll everyone here.
Oh wow.
The anvil is first.
Um.
Waterpool.
But did not go.
Get a good start.
No.
She did not.
All right.
Um.
She will take her.
Maneuver.
To.
Uh.
Punch it.
Um.
You guys are starting at zero.
Um.
So.
Wait.
Hold on.
What is the.
You mean the anvil.
Yeah.
Sorry.
Uh.
The strain.
Okay.
So you're not going to be able to take that strain.
So he's going to accelerate.
He's going to accelerate too.
Um.
Oh no.
Accelerate.
Increase or decrease your speed by one.
As normal.
You cannot exceed your pod's top speed.
All right.
So he's going to go to speed of one.
So I moved him up one.
And then action.
Uh.
Action and maneuver.
Or two maneuvers.
And an action.
Okay.
So he's going to get two maneuvers.
So he's going to move two.
So he could.
Again.
You either get two maneuvers.
An action.
And a maneuver.
Or.
Two maneuvers.
And an action.
For.
Two personal strain.
And system strain.
Um.
System strain being your bike.
Okay.
I'll repeat this as we go.
Because it's going to be hard to remember.
Um.
So he.
He's going to take two maneuvers.
To go.
Two faster.
So now he's going at a speed of two.
Um.
This.
This here.
Where we restarted that.
Is speed of zero.
Um.
Grinder.
Who is next.
Will do the same thing.
And he is going.
He is also going at speed of.
Of two.
Uh.
That brings up.
Mac.
Okay.
I'll go at speed of two.
Okay.
How do I do that though?
What do I roll?
Um.
I'm honestly.
I.
I know you're trying.
You're explaining.
And I.
I know we'll go over it.
But I'm just going to try to listen.
To what you're telling me to roll.
Okay.
And so I don't make my decisions.
Based on that.
After each character.
Is acting in our initiative.
All racers.
Okay.
Um.
Yeah.
I think.
I think that's.
I think that's okay.
I guess there's no checks on maneuvers.
Um.
How about.
All right.
So.
The.
The person who had the first initiative.
Sorry.
I'm retconning this.
The.
The person who went first.
Which was the anvil.
He got to go.
If you're going to.
If you're going to tie.
Or go past him.
With your maneuvers.
Or actions.
You got to roll the difficulty.
If.
If you don't.
Succeed.
You cannot.
Meet or exceed him.
Okay.
So what do I roll.
Um.
Well I will roll for.
Grinder first.
It'll be the same thing.
Uh.
We are in the long run.
So it's going to be.
You're at a speed of zero.
Uh.
Having a difficulty of zero.
Doesn't make sense.
So.
Um.
I will do.
One difficulty.
And.
Uh.
It's.
One.
Setback.
If you're trying.
To catch up to.
Or overtake the leader.
And in this case.
They would be.
Um.
So.
On the long run.
It's athletics.
Check.
So I'm going to do.
An athletics.
Uh.
And I said one difficulty.
And one setback.
Uh.
Because if I'm successful.
Then I will go to.
If I'm unsuccessful.
I will go to the one.
That's.
Just one.
Just one last.
And.
They succeeded.
So they will match.
Um.
This person.
Uh.
The anvil.
Okay.
So.
Uh.
Repeating again.
Um.
Your difficulty is set.
By the speed.
At which you're going.
You're going at zero.
Uh.
You can't roll zero difficulty.
So I'm just rounding that up to one.
So it's going to be one difficulty.
If you're successful.
You will catch up.
With the leader.
Um.
So that means.
You will have one setback.
As well.
What am I exactly.
Am I rolling athletics?
And you would be rolling athletics.
Because we're in.
The long run segment.
Okay.
So.
Set up athletics.
One setback.
You said.
Yeah.
Um.
Sarn.
Do you want to assist in this.
Somehow.
I mean.
I would just tell him to punch it.
Okay.
Really.
If.
However.
If you punch it going from zero to four.
Um.
You will.
Sorry.
Yeah.
You will suffer.
Four strain.
Uh.
Which your bike cannot take.
Your bike can take.
Uh.
Four strain.
So.
Did.
Yeah.
I didn't.
I didn't mean.
Punch it as like.
Zero to four.
I just.
Oh.
Okay.
I mean.
You just like.
Encouraging me.
Yeah.
Try to.
Yeah.
Okay.
I'm going to say.
Unless it doesn't make sense.
Sorry.
You're not going to be able to do every one.
You can do every other one.
So you have to take a rest off after an assist.
So that you can set up for the assist on the next leg.
Gotcha.
Okay.
Well in that case I'm not going to say any.
I mean you could say stuff.
But it's not going to get a boost die.
Oh.
What's.
Okay.
What's my difficulty?
Your difficulty is going to be one difficulty.
One difficulty.
One setback.
All right.
You failed.
I did not catch up.
Okay.
You did not.
You did not catch up.
So you did not.
Yeah.
You did not catch up.
But you still are going to get to go.
One space.
So you can't go the full two.
Because that would mean that you're catching up to the leader.
But you can go as max as you can until catching up.
All right.
I think.
I think we're making sense.
Oops.
All right.
Flutterplume now.
She's going to take basically the same role I think.
Right.
Athletics.
One difficulty.
And.
One setback.
Okay.
So Flutterplume takes it up into a tie.
All right.
So you're.
You're one.
You're one behind.
Um.
Moving up to the next.
The next stage.
The anvil.
Uh.
Is going to increase his speed to two.
Um.
His speeder bike.
Just for reference.
Has a top speed of three.
Um.
He's going to go two.
And.
Trying to think.
Does he have to roll for that?
I don't know.
He's got to roll.
Otherwise he just gets it for free?
Yeah.
All right.
Fuck it.
Make him roll.
Do it live.
We'll do it live.
All right.
He's in the street.
Uh.
The pillars.
The.
The pillars of the path.
Um.
He's going to roll his streetwise check.
Because that is the check for this.
Um.
It is.
He's going two.
So it's going to be two difficulty.
And.
Piloting.
Or yeah.
Skill checks made in the pillars.
Suffer two setbacks.
Due to terrain.
Uh.
He succeeds.
So the anvil.
Is now in the lead.
Not for long.
Uh.
The.
Uh.
The grinder will go next.
He'll do the same thing.
Uh.
Streetwise check.
Uh.
Two difficulty.
Two setback.
Uh.
Due to terrain.
Uh.
He also succeeds.
So now.
They are both tied for the lead here.
Uh.
Mac.
That makes it you.
All right.
What am I rolling in?
Athletics again?
Yes.
Uh.
Sarn.
You can.
You can assist here.
Yeah.
I want to tell him to go to the left.
Because I think it's a clearer path.
Okay.
After seeing.
After seeing the other two go to the right.
All right.
So.
Um.
He's going zero.
So it's only going to be one difficulty.
Um.
You need to roll an under roll check.
Okay.
Do I roll now or do I wait for him to roll?
You got to wait.
Because if he's successful you'll get a boost die.
And one difficulty?
Uh.
It's going to be one difficulty.
And let's say if you get a.
Oh.
No.
That's fine.
All right.
So.
It failed.
Oh.
All right.
Uh.
Bitch.
Mac.
Don't go to the left.
Mac.
It is now you.
It is now your turn.
Yeah.
Um.
If you want to.
Oh.
All right.
You are successful.
So.
You take two.
Two spots.
Uh.
You're now in the middle.
Yeah.
Um.
This is.
So this was zero.
Right.
So one.
Two.
No.
This was zero.
So one.
Two.
You're going a speed of two right now.
Your bike.
Your bike is a maximum speed of four.
That's so.
Go on.
Speed of two.
Well.
You.
Should we just.
Yeah.
Let's just multiply it by a hundred.
So it sounds faster.
A hundred.
You're going two hundred now.
And your bike.
Your bike has a.
Has a maximum speed of four hundred.
My God.
All right.
Uh.
Amy Flutterplume.
Is.
All right.
She is going to.
Uh.
Roll.
To catch up to everyone.
So.
Again.
Street wise.
Um.
Two difficulty.
Because.
She is going.
Well.
She is going one.
So it would be one difficulty.
And.
Two setback.
Because of terrain.
Bitch.
And she succeeded.
So she.
She caught up to.
Get out of here dice.
I think she's cheating.
She might be.
And.
I'm going to put in here.
Because otherwise I'm going to.
This is good.
This is zero.
No.
It's not zero.
It's the next one.
She's a big fat phony.
All right.
Right.
Because you're going one.
Are you going to.
Boo.
Two.
Two hundred.
Because I was laughing about it.
I'm going two.
I'm going.
Going a speed of two.
All right.
So I put.
I put a number on here.
So I don't forget that this is zero.
Um.
And there's no bike that's higher than four.
So.
Um.
All right.
And.
Rock and roll.
All right.
We are now on.
The pinch.
Oh.
Can I move.
This little orange.
I'm using this to keep track of where we're at.
All right.
Uh.
The pinch.
Piloting.
Skill checks made to navigate.
In a pinch.
Suffer.
Three difficulty due to the extremely tricky terrain.
In addition.
No.
I'm not doing that.
Okay.
Um.
So it's.
This is three setback.
And your difficulty is set by how fast you're going.
Uh.
So.
The anvil will go first.
He's going to try.
Let's see.
What is his bike?
His bike is a max speed of three.
So he cannot go any faster.
Um.
But he still needs to make the check.
So he doesn't fall back.
Um.
All right.
And it's a discipline check.
Bishop.
What?
No.
All right.
Uh.
Three difficulty.
If he fails this.
I'm going to have him drop back one.
Uh.
Three ability.
That's just.
And then three difficulty.
No.
It's not three.
Oh yeah.
Because he's going three.
And it's three setback.
Failed.
Uh.
He did fail.
So he will drop back one.
He is.
No longer tied for the lead.
Um.
Next up is.
Uh.
The grinder.
Uh.
The grinder.
Uh.
Discipline.
Eh.
Uh.
He's going three.
So three difficulty.
Uh.
One set.
Or three.
Three setback.
Uh.
And he was.
What?
Why is it?
Oh.
I rolled the anvil again.
That's not what I wanted.
Okay.
I rolled the wrong guy.
Discipline.
Three setback.
Uh.
Three difficulty.
Uh.
He failed too.
So he drops one back.
Uh.
Mac.
That makes it you.
All right.
What's the uh.
Um.
So.
Uh.
The pinch.
Uh.
You are going.
A speed of two.
It's going to be a difficulty of two.
And.
What's the uh.
What am I rolling?
Three.
I was.
I'm going through it.
Uh.
It's a difficulty of two.
And it's a setback of three.
Because it's a very narrow area.
A what?
What's the.
What am I rolling?
I just said.
Two difficulty.
And three setbacks.
One athletics.
Oh.
I'm sorry.
Yeah.
Uh.
It's discipline.
Discipline.
Yeah.
Uh.
I.
And.
And just so you know.
It's.
It's up here too.
Um.
Sorry.
I did not.
Catch what you were asking.
Uh.
The pinch.
Check discipline.
And the assist would be vigilance.
Okay.
I'm sorry.
I.
I had it really as far zoomed out.
I didn't see.
Oh.
It's okay.
It's all right.
All right.
Um.
What was so.
Two difficulty.
Yep.
And a.
Two setback.
Three.
Not gonna go good for anybody.
Yeah.
I fail bad.
Okay.
So you.
Um.
Just do not advance.
Um.
Uh.
Flutter plume.
She needs.
All right.
Flutter plume will roll.
Her.
Discipline.
Um.
She's going up.
Oh.
She's going at a speed of three.
She will be going up to speed of four.
Uh.
Three setback.
I think that's it right.
Okay.
Uh.
She falls back as well.
So now everyone is going at speed of two.
Dos.
Okay.
Uh.
Sarn.
This is the.
This is the every other one.
So you can take.
You can take an assist here.
You can save it for the next one.
Um.
I will let you know that this.
The drop.
Is.
Uh.
One setback.
Okay.
Then I'm.
I'm going to wait.
Okay.
It's one setback.
Uh.
And I will let you know that the razor blades.
Are two setback.
Um.
If there is a.
Uh.
If.
If there.
Let's see.
So it would be.
We'll say if it's three threats.
On the razor blades.
Um.
You will.
You will get.
Like.
Damage.
You'll have to roll for a critical.
So I think it might be a good idea to wait.
Yeah.
Uh.
All right.
I'm going to wait.
All right.
I will roll for the two.
NPCs.
Uh.
The anvil.
Is.
Anvil.
He's going to roll his cool check.
The anvil.
Ladies and gentlemen.
The anvil.
Cool.
Uh.
He is going.
Two.
So difficulty of two.
Uh.
Ability.
Uh.
The drop is.
I said one setback.
Right.
One setback.
Due to terrain.
Rolling.
Uh.
Check failed.
Uh.
So.
Uh.
Since he is tied for the lead.
He's going to move back.
One.
Uh.
Who is next?
The grinder.
Cool check.
Yeah.
Uh.
He's going to speed of two.
Difficulty of two.
One setback.
Uh.
Check succeeded.
Um.
So he moves ahead one speed.
Uh.
And.
Goes along.
Mack.
It is your turn.
So.
It's going to be.
Since you are going a speed of two.
It's going to be your.
Cool.
Against.
Two difficulty.
And one setback.
Sarn has neglected to help you.
That's right.
I succeeded.
All right.
You move ahead one.
You are tied for the lead.
All right.
Flutter plume.
Will.
Um.
Go now.
She.
Is.
Cool check.
Against.
She's going to.
So two difficulty.
One setback.
Uh.
She succeeds as well.
Uh.
And we're in a tie up here.
Uh.
Moving on to.
The.
Blades.
The razor blades.
Um.
So.
Uh.
Just going narratively.
You guys have.
Like.
Gone through the pinch.
Uh.
You've tied up again.
Going down the drop.
You guys have dropped.
Uh.
I don't know.
10.
20 feet.
Down onto.
Is a hard landing.
Onto this asphalt.
And you're starting to go into a skid.
To turn around these razor blades.
You do not want to hit these.
These plants.
They don't call them razor blades for nothing.
Um.
Sarn.
You do want to set him up.
To help here.
Right.
So.
How are you.
How are you going to help?
Um.
I'm.
Going to tell him that.
He should break harder.
And turn a little bit.
More.
Not steep.
But more sharp.
Okay.
In order to get the spit.
It is.
It is perception.
Uh.
I believe you have some type of.
Hunting goggles.
To.
And to perception.
I don't know.
I don't know what they do.
Didn't you have.
Don't you have some binoculars or something?
I do have hunting goggles.
Grant's boost.
Die.
To discipline.
Oh.
You could have used that in.
The.
Uh.
The pinch.
Bank.
Uh.
Grant's.
Oh no.
It says.
Grant's boost.
To any.
Perception check.
Okay.
Made to locate prey.
Okay.
You are locating your prey.
One max skyblade.
Or patch mckenzie.
Depending on.
Uh.
The time of year.
You will get a boost die to your roll.
Okay.
Um.
Your roll.
Is equivalent to.
Max speed.
Which is three.
Dos.
Three.
And setbacks.
Uh.
Because of this.
The setback.
Is.
Razor blades are two.
All right.
So.
Matt.
You will get a boost.
On your roll.
Um.
Sergeant Turbo was able to.
Scope out.
And.
Uh.
Give you very good advice.
To help you avoid the razor blades.
Thanks.
Darn.
You.
You will have the same.
Difficulty.
Which is three.
Uh.
A boost.
And two setback.
When it's his turn.
Oh yeah.
Remind me.
Oh.
Yeah.
So we skipped.
We skipped everybody else.
Huh.
Okay.
The anvil.
Is going to roll.
Uh.
His.
Survival.
Um.
It is a difficulty of one.
Uh.
Setback of two.
Two.
Uh.
He succeeds.
So he's moving up.
He's moving up one.
Um.
That brings it up to.
The grinder.
Who will have.
His discipline.
Uh.
He is already going three.
So difficulty of three.
Setback of two.
That is discipline.
It's survival.
Oh.
How did you know I clicked discipline?
Oh.
Did I say discipline?
You said discipline.
Okay.
Thank you.
Survival.
Thanks for paying attention.
Uh.
Three difficulty.
Because he's going three.
Uh.
Two setback.
Uh.
No boost.
Uh.
No boost.
Because he has no friends.
Uh.
He checked.
His check has failed.
So he will fall back.
Uh.
That brings it up to Mac.
So it's you.
Survival.
And then what was my.
Uh.
I was one boost.
You said.
You get one boost.
And two setback.
Two setback.
And don't.
And three difficult.
Yeah.
Three difficult.
No.
He's going three.
It's going to be three.
Because he's going three.
Okay.
That's it.
Yep.
This is not going to go well.
All right.
So he.
He does move back one.
Um.
Okay.
I.
Come on.
I gave you great advice.
And you completely ignored it.
I didn't ignore nothing.
Okay.
I like the way.
You only had one threat.
So.
I'm not going to.
Have you.
Slide into the.
Into the.
Into the blades.
If you had three threats.
Um.
You will suffer a critical injury.
Uh.
Sliding.
What about the grinder then?
The grinder did not have enough.
Holy.
He had five threats.
Okay.
So he's.
He.
He did.
Wait.
Hold on.
You got to redo that.
He didn't have any green dye.
Is this survival zero?
Oh.
That's because I picked the wrong.
I had the wrong thing highlighted.
All right.
Sorry.
I fucked that up.
Waypoint is that orange thing on there.
That I'm using to keep track of where we're at.
So.
I.
I rolled the wrong person.
All right.
So let's delete.
Waitpoint.
All right.
That's why he had no green.
Because he has no attributes at all.
All right.
So he was.
So.
General skills.
Survival.
Um.
Three difficulty.
Two setback.
Nothing else.
Right?
No boost.
Because he has no friends.
All right.
He still fails.
Uh.
Did not get.
Five threats.
Did not get five threats.
All right.
Uh.
Now.
We're coming up on.
The gentth curve.
Flutterplume.
Oh.
Did she not go yet?
Okay.
She did not go.
Flutterplume is going to try and.
Um.
I'm trying to think.
How we would do it.
If you're not trying to accelerate.
You're not trying to go up a place.
I guess you would just pass.
And not have to roll.
Um.
I would think she would still have to roll.
To go through that.
Okay.
But what's her speed?
Her speed is three.
And I think she should.
Yeah.
She'd still have to do that.
Okay.
What would she.
What would she have to do.
If she wanted to just keep her speed.
Like what's the difference.
If she tries to go up one.
Or tries to stay.
Um.
Maybe one.
One less.
Difficult.
Or two less.
One or two less.
Difficulty.
But still keep the setbacks from.
The razor.
The terrain.
Okay.
All right.
Yeah.
We could do that.
So.
There's no way that's how you're supposed to do it.
But I like that.
So.
We will say.
If you're.
If you're in a place that you'd like to stay.
Uh.
You can go one less difficulty.
Okay.
Unless you're at.
One.
I guess.
Then you would have zero difficulty.
I guess that's fine.
You can just do zero difficulty.
Well.
I don't think.
If you're at one.
Because you're not going to stop.
You should.
You should stay where you're at.
Okay.
You should try to go faster.
All right.
She's still going to try and go faster.
So.
Because she's just.
Fucking crazy.
So.
She's going three.
Right.
So.
She will have three difficulty.
And two setbacks.
We said.
She's trying to go up to four.
Kind of hope she succeeds.
She succeeds.
Huh.
And only two threats.
So she's two ahead of everybody.
Yeah.
But.
She also has a bad thing on her bike.
We don't.
She doesn't.
She goes too fast.
She doesn't know that yet.
Well.
That's what I'm saying.
She's going to speed of four.
She is.
Okay.
That might.
Overheat the bike.
It might.
Who knows.
We're making these up.
As we go along.
Okay.
Um.
Now.
Getting into the gent curve.
Um.
We're coming back around.
A couple people have dropped back.
Uh.
Including Mac.
Mac has dropped back.
But he's in a bunch.
Of.
Um.
Of racers right now.
As he comes around.
Um.
So first will be the anvil.
The anvil will make his coordination check.
He's going two.
So he has a difficulty of two.
The.
Uh.
Gent curve.
Is.
It's going to be.
It's going to be one.
One setback.
And.
For.
Two difficulty.
Okay.
And he failed.
So he's moving back.
All right.
The grinder will also.
He will do the same thing.
It is.
Coordination.
He's going to.
So difficulty of two.
One setback.
Uh.
He succeeds.
You rolled the anvil again.
Oh.
Thank you.
I got to keep changing these people.
I don't know why it doesn't change when I.
Do this.
Okay.
Grinder.
Coordination.
Uh.
Two difficulty.
Two.
Or one setback.
Uh.
He does.
He succeeds anyway.
And he is now going three.
And let me check his bike.
Oh.
His bike can only go two.
So he stays at two.
Good.
All right.
I think he's.
I think his bike is only one that.
Has a top speed of.
Two hundred.
Um.
That's right.
All right.
So he just doesn't fall back.
Um.
Mac.
It is now your turn.
All right.
Um.
Is it just.
Uh.
Am I.
Still at three difficulty?
No.
You're at two.
Because.
You fell back last time.
So now you're at a speed of two.
Okay.
And then is there anything else I need to add before.
One.
One setback.
Failed.
Okay.
So you move back one.
Wonderful.
I know I didn't give you the option.
Uh.
But.
But we had said last turn.
If.
So.
What you were rolling for.
If you had won that roll.
You would have moved up from two to three.
Oh.
If you would like to have stayed at speed of two.
At uh.
Two.
You could have just rolled.
One less difficulty dice.
Which would be one.
I see.
Yeah.
That.
That was a new roll.
We literally made up on the last stage.
Um.
Okay.
And we'll.
We'll see how that.
That goes.
Um.
As such.
Uh.
Flutter Plume will go.
And she will roll her.
Uh.
What do you call it?
Coordination.
Um.
She can't move up.
So it will be.
Three difficulty.
Not four.
And one setback.
Because of uh.
The terrain.
Uh.
And she succeeds.
Meaning only that she stays at four.
Moving to the next.
Next stage.
The switchback.
Uh.
The anvil.
Going first.
He's at a speed of one.
Uh.
It's a resilience check.
Uh.
Like I said.
One difficulty.
Uh.
The switchback.
Is a.
It's no difficulty.
Or not.
No.
I'm sorry.
No setbacks.
Uh.
The anvil does succeed.
Moving up one.
Uh.
The grinder goes.
Uh.
His bike only goes.
Two.
So he will not be.
Trying to go faster.
So for him it will be.
One less difficulty.
Which would be one difficulty.
On a.
Resilience check.
And no setbacks.
Uh.
He succeeds.
Staying at two.
Um.
Mack.
It is now your turn.
If you wanted to stay at one.
It would be.
I guess no difficulty.
You'd be rolling at zero difficulty.
To stay at one.
If you'd like to move up.
You have to roll at one difficulty.
Against your resilience.
Uh.
Okay.
And then.
Just one difficulty.
And.
And no setbacks.
For this.
This.
This like.
Do you.
I.
Can I say.
Anything.
You can help on this one.
Because you did not help on the last one.
Well.
Not to give boost.
Okay.
Yeah.
If you just want to help him as a player.
Yeah.
I mean.
I'm.
I'm thinking you should.
Try to move up too.
Since there are no setbacks.
Okay.
So.
How do I do that?
Just.
Just go one difficulty.
Um.
If you were to move up too.
It would be.
You're going one.
It would still be one difficulty.
Um.
I'm going to say.
It will cause a strain.
To your bike.
Okay.
I don't want to do that.
Your bike.
Your bike can handle.
Four strain.
That's the first lap.
Yeah.
If you wanted.
If you wanted to go two on this.
You would have to.
Risk doing a strain.
Um.
And you can do that four times.
There's only three laps.
And.
There's only three laps.
I guess I'll do it once.
Well.
I.
I think.
Maybe it's worth trying to see what.
See what happens.
If.
If you get burned.
Then maybe be a little bit more conservative.
Next time.
Yeah.
Okay.
So what do I do?
Um.
It's still the same.
So it's going to be your resilience.
Against.
Uh.
One difficulty.
Because you're at one.
Um.
And no setbacks.
And then nothing else.
That's right.
Okay.
I just.
I had it ready.
I just wanted to make sure.
Yeah.
Succeeded.
So you succeeded.
You move up two.
Uh.
Your bike does take.
One system strain.
It's fine.
It can take it.
It.
It can.
Uh.
By my estimate.
It can take about four of these.
Four or four hundred.
It can only handle three more.
Okay.
So you zoom past the.
The other two racers.
Even though.
Like the anvil.
It gains them.
Um.
You still.
You just zoomed right past them.
Um.
Uh.
Although it is Flutter Poon's turn.
And.
Uh.
She will.
It's her resilience.
Um.
It would be four.
Although she's not moving up.
So it's only three.
Uh.
No setbacks.
And I think that's it.
Right?
That's about right.
And she succeeds.
So she stays.
She stays in.
At speed of 400.
And you guys come around.
We're going to do the long run twice.
We're going to do it.
At the beginning.
And we're going to do it.
At the end.
So this will end.
The first lap.
This.
This next turn.
Um.
All right.
The anvil.
The anvil is going.
He.
This is the athletics check.
Um.
I think that was.
Two setbacks.
No.
So he's going to have.
He's going at two.
So it's two difficulty.
Um.
On the long run.
Any skill checks made.
To catch up to.
Or overtake the leader.
Suffer one due to.
Terrain.
So he saw.
He saw Max.
Suffer one.
Suffer one setback.
Yeah.
One setback.
Okay.
Let's see.
He can.
He only has a speed.
Oh.
That's just on the long run.
I was thinking.
Yeah.
Anytime.
You wanted to.
To catch up to the.
The leader.
You would suffer one.
But that's just on the long run.
I think.
I think I might have said that.
But.
I'm going to.
Slightly amend it to be.
Just on the long run.
Just.
Just how we kind of fell into.
How we're doing this.
Um.
I think that makes sense.
Um.
His bike only goes three.
So he.
Actually cannot catch up to.
Even if he.
Because he saw what Mac did.
And he was like.
Oh man.
That's a pretty good idea.
That guy's got some.
Some fucking guts.
So he was going to.
He was going to take on some strain.
Uh.
To bunch up two.
Um.
But.
His bike can only go.
Three hundred.
So even if he wanted to go.
Up.
Two.
He.
He can't.
His bike can't handle it.
So.
He will go at.
Difficulty of two.
Or I mean.
Um.
Move up one.
Being a difficulty of two.
Because he's at two hundred already.
Um.
He's not going to.
Overtake the leader.
So it's going to be no setbacks.
Not.
He's not going to catch up.
Or overtake the leader.
So it's no setbacks.
The terrain itself doesn't have any setbacks.
Only if you're trying to overtake the leader.
Gotcha.
Okay.
Um.
And he falls back.
He failed.
Uh.
Grinder is next.
And he's.
He's just going to coast.
He's not going to try.
He's not going to try and catch up.
So.
He's going to do his athletics check.
And it's going to be one less.
Difficulty.
He's at.
Two.
So it's only going to be one.
Um.
And if he's successful on this.
He will stay where he's at.
If he fails on it.
He will move back one.
He succeeds.
So he will stay at 200.
Uh.
That brings us to Mac.
Max.
You.
This.
This will be.
Uh.
A difficulty of three.
If you want to.
Play it safe.
You can roll.
You can roll two.
Which is one less than.
Three.
Where you're at.
If you're successful on that.
You will stay at three.
You can.
However.
Roll at three.
To try.
And overtake.
And catch up to the leader.
I'm going to.
I'm going to stay.
Okay.
If you stay.
It's going to be.
No.
No setback.
And.
Too difficulty.
And I'm going to tell him.
I think.
Staying is a good idea.
And.
Thank you Sarn.
Also.
Sarn.
What's my.
Role for boost.
Your role for boost.
Would be leadership.
Um.
Yeah.
No that's it.
Because you had not used your.
Your boost.
Last turn.
So.
Difficulty.
So.
Sarn.
You will roll first.
Your difficulty will be the same as booze.
Which is three.
All right.
Your leadership is great.
You're giving him some good pep talk.
Um.
Mac.
You will have a boost for this role.
Again.
It's only going to be two.
Uh.
One less than.
Your current speed.
And.
Against.
Your leader.
Not your leadership.
Your athletics.
All right.
So.
I got two difficulty.
One boost.
Yeah.
Rolling.
What?
Oh.
No.
That sucks.
So.
You drop back one.
How did that even happen?
I have three green to the two.
Oh.
That's so bullshit.
That's bullshit.
This game's rigged.
One boost.
And three green to two purple.
And I don't win.
I.
I'm pissed.
Uh.
And.
I was just playing it safe.
And you were just playing it safe.
That's.
Yeah.
All right.
Uh.
Flutter plume.
Athletics.
And.
Uh.
She will be at three difficulty.
Because she can't move up.
Um.
She also has no setbacks.
Because she can't move up.
And.
Because she's already in the lead.
Because it doesn't.
Catch up to.
Or overtake the leader.
Okay.
And.
I believe that's.
That's it.
So.
She fails.
And she moves back a little bit.
She's still in the lead.
As she crosses by.
Um.
The first lap.
Uh.
The crowd is going wild.
Uh.
She.
They love to see.
Amy Flutter plume.
In the lead.
Um.
It.
It's still anybody's game.
At this point.
Uh.
The anvil's kind of dropped back.
Uh.
But there's a little bit of a bunch.
Around.
Uh.
Mac.
And.
Um.
The grinder.
I think this would be a good.
Point to take a break.
Okay.
Um.
Yeah.
I'll.
Uh.
Maybe I'll wait till after the break.
Yeah.
Let's.
Let's take a.
A short.
A short break.
Thank you.
I'll be right back.
It was Purito inspired?
Yeah.
Work really screwed me the past six weeks.
Why?
The whole time that I've been dual rating?
Yeah.
They've been paying me $7.75 an hour.
But that's to be expected, right?
No.
I should be making $22 an hour.
Oh, so you just got to get that strained out, right?
Yeah.
I told you.
I told you today.
I told you today, but still, it's not going to come for two more weeks.
The back pay.
No, that sucks.
But thankfully, you don't have to fight anybody.
No.
I emailed them.
She called me like 10 minutes later.
I was like, yeah, that's not right.
So I got to get it all settled.
But she's like, well, I'll do all the math and get it out to you on the next check.
I'm like, I got rent due today.
And we're like, soon.
I can't be without that.
I know this is $700 yesterday.
I know this isn't why you brought it up, but if you need some help to flow, I can do that.
No, I'll be fine.
I just got to get some ramen.
Schmooze your landlord.
Bridget's got something going on.
So you know how we caught COVID right before our vacation.
So she had to take off time.
She put it on for sick days.
But for her first like week of vacation or something like that, like they gave her leave instead of sick days.
And that wasn't correct because she was actually on vacation.
And she had a pretty plan.
Someone fucked up.
But like because they didn't do that, they paid her back.
But they didn't take the money out for her insurance.
And so today she got her paycheck and they decided to take it all out in one go.
She lost like $200 for when she was in one paycheck.
It's bullshit.
No, it's bullshit that she lost $200.
And she actually wrote a complaint to the payroll department because this was, you know, a fuck up on their part.
And she's the one who caught it.
And she's the one who tried to do the, you know, the right, you know, to fix it.
And now she's paying for it.
That just sucks.
That does suck.
Yeah, it's fucking bullshit.
I don't know.
I don't know if you heard, but I was when I was training for the past six weeks.
Yeah.
Not when I was training for the past six weeks.
They were paying me $7.75 an hour.
Wow.
That's kind of bullshit.
So, yeah.
Like the first two checks I got, I was like, okay, well, it's because I was training.
That's $12 an hour.
You know, it goes down to minimum wage.
But now, the one I got today, I was like, that's when I was like, no, something's not right.
Yeah, that's bullshit.
That sucks.
And then you actually had to do math.
They have to.
Oh.
It just sucks because Bridget's supposed to get off my, she's going to get on my insurance eventually because my insurance is better than hers because she's on a PPO and I'm an NHMO.
And it just, I got a better deal than she does.
And like, we can't, one last thing this place kind of screwed us over with, you know.
It's always something, right?
Yeah, insurance sucks.
Insurance is a pain in the ass.
Yeah, it's a fucking worse.
Yeah, you shouldn't have to have it.
What?
I said you shouldn't have to have it.
I mean, I don't mind having insurance.
It's just.
I mean, it's mostly good, I guess.
But like, you know, well, you shouldn't have to have it.
I mean, well, I mean, now we're going to get into a.
It's good when you use it.
Now we're getting into a political debate.
The goal is to not use it.
I don't know why I find it so amusing to watch Boo take a bite of a sandwich, but I do.
He just takes such healthy bites.
And look, he's so happy when he takes a bite of a sandwich.
It's going to squirt out of his nose.
Yeah, I appreciate the finer things.
Before the next lap.
All right.
So this is what I.
You in or out of character.
In.
Okay.
So I've changed.
I've decided.
After this.
After this lap.
They wave the flag.
It is going to be a pit stop for everyone.
So this type of pit stop.
They keep track of where you're at in the race.
And you're allowed to go back to your.
Your garage.
Talk it over with your team.
So you guys start to slow down as you.
As you cross the finish line for the first lap.
You go back into the garage.
Sarn, you're in there waiting.
For.
For Mac.
Mac.
You pull in.
What is your disposition?
What is.
Like are you.
How are you feeling?
I'm panting.
I'm panting like I've been running.
Which doesn't make any sense.
I offer Mac.
Half of a hot dog.
A what?
Half a hot dog.
With mustard and onions.
You got any water?
I think there's water in the mustard.
Oh my God.
Give me that hot dog.
I take it.
I take a big healthy bite.
And Sarn just looks.
Oh I didn't think he'd actually take me up on that.
Mac.
Mac gains.
One wound.
This is not by rules.
But I've.
Just I feel compelled.
He gains.
One wound.
From eating that half a hot dog.
It's not because of the hot dog.
It's just.
It was just the right thing at the right time.
I would have given him strain.
That makes way more sense.
But he has no.
I mean he's already at no strain.
Which also doesn't make sense.
So maybe I should.
Oh he.
Oh.
He gained.
No he didn't get hurt.
He recovers one wound.
Yeah.
Poor phrase.
He recovers one wound.
Because.
Yeah.
Like a hot dog doesn't really give you health.
But.
Whatever reason.
It's just like the right thing at the right time.
Exactly when he needed it.
Right.
I mean.
Isn't that.
Isn't that what a hot dog is?
The right thing at the right time.
It helps you from not starving to death.
Yeah.
And GBA.
Unlike other foods.
All right.
Now what?
Okay.
I want to.
Before it picks up.
After the pit stop.
You have some minutes.
Okay.
Well.
Once the race starts going again.
Sarn wants to sneak over.
And hide behind that.
Robot.
Or that mechanical.
Like.
Yeah.
All right.
So this like.
On the jet curve.
Okay.
Let's.
To give.
To give Sarn a better.
Observation of the field.
Okay.
Yeah.
I'll allow that.
It's.
Gonna be.
A stealth check.
I haven't.
I haven't mentioned.
But I anticipated that you guys would.
Try and pull some chicanery.
So there are some security guards stationed around.
I would say.
They're.
They're not quite security guards.
Because this is an underground race.
They're.
Some kind of security detail.
That.
That's kind of standing around.
Making sure that.
People aren't trying to.
Game the race.
Sneak onto the field.
But.
I will allow you to make a.
Stealth roll.
To get you there.
I.
I think I would also say.
Once you're there.
Your.
Your bonus.
Like.
Or not your bonus.
What did I call it?
Assist.
Your assist checks.
You're going to get a bonus.
For when you are.
Um.
For the.
The assist checks that are close to you.
All right.
Do you want to make it a bonus?
Or do you want to make it.
Two out of three.
Instead of one out of two.
Uh.
Explain the one out of two.
Two out of three thing.
So.
Instead of.
Every other one.
I can.
Assist.
Okay.
I can assist.
Two out of three.
Um.
I will amend that slightly.
To say.
You can do two out of three.
In the squares that are close to you.
Okay.
So.
Let's say.
Like.
So.
You're going to hide.
You're going to post up here.
Right.
By.
By the robot.
So.
Let's say.
You can do two in a row.
In ones.
Either in the drop.
Razor blades.
Um.
Or the jenth curve.
I'm going to say.
Okay.
The switch back is too far.
Okay.
So if you.
You did.
Let's say.
You did the razor blades.
And the jenth curve.
Because you can do two in a row.
Um.
But you would not be able to do the switch back.
But then you could also.
But then you could.
Or the drop.
Well.
Uh.
Yeah.
So let's say.
You did the drop.
And the razor blade.
That.
I couldn't do it on jenth.
I allow that.
Then you would not be able to do it on jenth curve.
But then you could do it.
Again.
On the switch back.
Okay.
You just have to take one off.
So.
Yeah.
As you said.
Two out of three.
I'm just.
Repeating it.
Yeah.
That works.
Well.
Yeah.
Maybe we're counting our chickens before they hatch here.
Yeah.
I don't know.
It's good to talk through it.
Yeah.
Um.
I would say.
Maybe two.
You two.
Might want to take a look at your dice rolls.
And see.
Where.
Your advantages.
Or where you might want to do the most boost.
Yeah.
And.
I think.
Um.
Those would be where.
Your ability is rather low.
Mac.
So.
Yeah.
Maybe look at your character sheet.
And see.
Like.
For instance.
Is your discipline particularly low?
Is your cool low?
Is your survival low?
Coordination low?
You know.
Some of these other ones.
Oh yeah.
His discipline is really low.
Okay.
Yeah.
My discipline's low.
My cool's.
I got a three.
Coordination's three.
Athletics is three.
I mean.
That's decent.
It's not great.
But it's not.
Yeah.
Well you're.
Yeah.
Your discipline's the only one that's lacking.
Yeah.
And.
I mean.
I could.
They could.
Oh.
That's below your three.
Let me go through.
And I will put.
I.
These texts are kind of.
It doesn't let me do multi-line texts.
So.
I'm going to go through here.
While you guys are talking about it.
And I'm going to put asterisks.
Little stars on here.
For.
The one.
For how many setbacks there are.
Due to terrain.
In that.
Oh.
In that leg.
So.
For.
Path.
Pillars.
So you should see now on.
Pillars of the.
Pillars of the path.
There are two stars.
That's two setbacks.
Where would I see that?
Oh.
I see.
Okay.
Do you see it now?
So it's.
As the title.
It says.
Pillars of the path.
Check.
Streetwise.
Assist underworld.
Then two asterisks.
Okay.
Unfortunately.
It was like.
Right behind the chat.
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
Unfortunately.
I would put it on a separate line.
But I can't put in.
Enters on there.
All right.
Text.
The pinch.
So what I was going to say.
Is that the pinch.
Is actually three setbacks.
So.
If your discipline is bad.
And also.
You're getting three setbacks.
You might want to keep that in mind.
For something to help out on.
And.
Also.
Or maybe not.
Try to get ahead on that one.
Yeah.
Anyway.
Just.
Just an idea.
That's all.
I'm listening.
I'm figuring.
Yeah.
I'm pondering.
Meditate the situation.
All right.
Yeah.
But.
My vigilance is pretty good.
Well.
It's a.
It's a yellow and a green.
So.
I've always said your vigilance.
So good.
Andy.
Yeah.
If I knew.
Exactly what vigilance was.
When you're always vigilant.
That helps.
Exactly.
Zero percent.
That.
That being said.
Andy.
As we talked about.
If you're going to do your stealth check.
Maybe try and get close to the pinch.
Yeah.
But I think the robot.
Or.
Not the robot.
The mechanical thing.
I think it's.
I think it does say droid.
When I was putting it on there.
But.
It doesn't look like a droid to me.
No.
I don't know what the hell that is.
Um.
I don't.
I don't know if there's really anywhere.
I could.
Be.
For that.
You know what.
This might take.
Two turns.
And maybe a trek through the.
The razor blades.
Um.
What are these two little floaty things out here.
By the.
Underneath the drop.
So.
That is meant to be.
So.
The.
The drop comes over that drainage pipe.
And it's a little bit too far.
To make it all the way to those rocks.
So that just helps you.
In case you come a little bit short on the drop.
Okay.
But.
Are they on the same level as.
The.
They're.
They're meant to be the same level.
As the pavement.
Okay.
There goes that idea.
I think that.
You can find a place to hide over there.
Um.
And you can hit.
You can hit.
Let's say.
Three of these.
These legs.
The pinch.
The drop.
And the razor blades.
Yeah.
I was thinking.
Yeah.
And I think if you hit over by the.
Uh.
The mechanical thing.
You would hit.
The drop.
The razor blades.
And the genth curve.
Yeah.
So that.
That would change it.
That.
Just a little bit.
Okay.
Yeah.
I'm going to try to.
Hide in these.
Weeds in the water.
Then.
Instead of the robot.
Weeds in the water.
Okay.
Or whatever those.
Are.
All right.
So.
Let me.
What I'm going to do.
I'm going to.
Move your character.
Just so I get what you're talking about.
You're like right here.
You're saying.
I was thinking right here.
Okay.
Now.
If you're there.
Okay.
Let's just do that.
With the understanding.
That it's going to be the pinch.
The drop.
And the razor blades.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
So like my idea would be like.
If.
If those two gray things.
Were like.
Pillars that were like.
Underneath.
Like a highway.
No.
Like.
And they suck up a little bit.
I was going.
I would want to hide.
There.
So like.
Right behind that little gray thing.
Yeah.
They're not.
They're not pillars.
They are boxes.
They're like concrete blocks.
Yeah.
And.
The same level as the asphalt.
But the same level as the asphalt.
Just to give a little bit more.
So people don't fall in the water.
You would be in the water though.
Well it makes me scared.
That they're going to try to make people not go in the water.
And then I'm going to jump in the water.
No.
They're not.
They're just trying to make the speeders not go in the water.
They don't give a shit about people.
I mean.
And it is.
Okay.
Fair enough.
It is sewage coming out of those pipes.
It's about people.
Oh.
It's just sewage.
That's fine.
Okay.
I'll hide there.
Okay.
Um.
I'm.
I did say it's.
Um.
It's an average with one upgraded.
So it's going to be one purple.
One red.
Okay.
For my stealth.
Against your stealth.
Oh.
That's.
Oh.
I do have to do this.
You have.
Yeah.
Okay.
You already knew.
I was going to say.
You.
You have some kind of ability.
All right.
Yeah.
I got.
Just stalker.
It's.
Stealth.
And.
But no advantages.
So.
Hey.
I succeeded.
That's all I care about.
Okay.
He's right.
My advantage is that I had.
I was wearing like.
Plastic booties.
So.
Sewage doesn't get in my shoe.
My.
I.
But yeah.
But you don't have the advantage.
But I would like.
A small.
Um.
Narrative piece.
Before you try to sneak over to.
The.
Uh.
What.
What you're trying to do.
So.
I.
Mac doesn't know what you're trying to do yet.
I would like a small.
Explanation.
Or like.
How you want to handle that.
Before you.
Sneak over.
All right.
So.
You know.
It's still the.
Um.
The pit.
Pit stop.
Yes.
You're right.
You're at the.
The middle of the pit stop.
Yeah.
And I just look at Mag.
All right.
I'm going to sneak over.
So I can help you out a little bit more on the.
The difficult parts.
We.
The pinch.
The drop.
The razor blade.
So I can be better.
Close.
Or I can be.
Uh.
Obviously more assistive.
But also.
Know it a little bit better.
So you.
Get back out there.
You do your best.
Damn it.
And Mac.
I want to remind you that.
When you went over.
The pinch.
So you went out the pinch.
Down into the drop.
You went over that water.
And I'm going to say.
That.
You noticed.
That.
That was sewage.
I don't know how.
Maybe you smelled it.
Maybe you saw it.
Um.
I feel like that's something that Mac would.
Bring up as.
He was talking about going to hide in it.
Oh.
It was stinky.
It was a stinky jump.
It can't be any stinkier than those.
Damn Wookiee pelts.
No.
This.
Those Wookiee pelts are pretty bad.
But this is.
You might want to put your.
You might want to put some booties on.
Sit your booties on.
You got any booties for me?
No.
Get some plastic bags.
There's a garbage.
There's two empty garbage cans over there.
Just take the bags out of them.
I take the little paper thing that the hot dog came in.
And shove it down my boot.
Okay.
That'll work.
Don't forget that you have a robotic toe.
Yeah.
But it doesn't work.
No.
I don't know.
It doesn't work in ages.
I was hoping.
It's just there.
Okay.
Um.
So.
Sarn.
Makes a salute.
And.
With his.
His hot dog.
His hot dog paper foot.
Yeah.
He salutes.
Hot dog paper foot.
They can't.
I don't think they can move it like who?
No.
I.
With his hand.
All right.
With.
With Sarn's hand.
And.
Uh.
Sarn scales down.
Super.
Super stealthily.
And.
Uh.
Sneaks across here.
Kind of like Jim Belushi in Animal House.
And.
Uh.
And just gets in the sewage.
Do you make any.
Acknowledgement at all that it's sewage?
No.
You're just.
It's just a thing that.
You're used to.
You're a bounty hunter.
Sarn's scowl gets a little bit more.
Sorrowly.
But.
Let's not forget.
He's got money on the line here.
Not only.
You bet that Sarn.
Or that Mac's going to win.
You also bet that Flutterplume's going to lose.
So if Flutterplume wins.
He's going to be out 400 credits.
Is it 400?
Yeah.
It's 100 for the Mac bet.
You're right.
No.
You're right.
Yeah.
Okay.
Um.
Right.
A lot of writing on this kid.
Racers.
Please.
Return to your stations.
Nothing.
That's you, Mac.
I said I got to go.
And I got on my bike.
Oh.
I didn't hear you say that.
Oh.
Oh, no.
I filtered it out.
I didn't hear it either.
Okay.
Let me.
Uh.
Let's see.
Wait.
I thought the switchback was.
Was zero.
Setbacks.
It is.
I don't know why it says two.
Let me fix that.
Yeah.
I don't know why I put two there.
Okay.
This is very triumphant music.
All right.
As the racers start to get up and go.
The.
Oh, boy.
The.
You.
Everyone.
Everyone lines up.
And.
I think.
You know what?
I think we should re-roll for initiative.
What do you think?
Yeah.
I like that.
That makes sense.
Yeah.
All right.
There's a pit stop.
Everyone's.
Stop.
Everyone's.
There's something.
All right.
Some of them may even got hot dogs.
Half a hot dog.
All right.
So.
I started a new encounter.
When you are ready.
Go ahead and roll.
Oh.
You did better than the last one.
Sure.
Oh.
Okay.
That's better.
Uh.
It's only.
Yeah.
It's better.
Well.
The grinder's only got a speed of two.
So.
Yeah.
You can't even go up.
Yeah.
All right.
Uh.
Yeah.
That is better.
Yeah.
I mean.
I don't really know if it matters.
None of this matters.
Words are all just like made up.
They're just like.
Yeah.
Um.
This song sucks.
Uh.
All right.
This is triumphant.
This is.
This.
This should have been the beginning.
I should have listened to these songs before.
Yeah.
Probably.
Yeah.
So I'm a bad GM.
What do you want from me?
This is not going to work either.
To be a better GM.
No.
This is way too slow.
Hmm.
All right.
We're going with this one.
Okay.
All right.
Okay.
It's like fucking wacky wasters.
Okay.
Now.
Whose turn?
Why does this say?
It should be the grinder's turn.
Should be grinder's turn.
I want to let me go back.
Oh,
begin.
All right.
Grinders turn.
All right.
The.
He can't take the lead.
So he's only going to be.
This can be athletics.
One difficulty.
Cause he's not trying to take the lead.
And no setback.
He's not trying to take the lead.
Check succeeded.
So he will stay at two.
That brings up Mac.
Okay.
So we're at athletics.
It's going to be athletics.
If you're trying to take the lead,
which unless you're trying to play it safe,
you will be trying to take the lead.
That will be one setback.
Okay.
I'm going to try to take the lead.
Okay.
So one setback.
You're going to match.
Take the lead.
So if you're going to try and jump.
Or advance.
Whatever.
Yeah.
Cause remember,
if you wanted to take two,
that would be a strain.
Yeah.
I don't want to.
Okay.
So you're only trying to take one.
So it's all.
You,
you're at,
you're at 200.
So it's going to be two difficulty.
One setback.
Um,
that's it.
And the star and want to help me boost or no,
I can't.
Uh,
I just,
I just did it on the last one.
Oh,
okay.
So you succeeded.
You succeed.
So now you pull up into a tie with a flutter plume.
Uh,
the anvil is going to try and athletics.
And one,
Oh,
it's going to be one difficulty.
Uh,
no setback.
Uh,
cause he's not going to be taking the lead.
Oh,
fuck.
I rolled max sky blade.
God damn it.
All right.
Oh,
dare you.
How dare I?
Indeed.
One difficulty.
You know what?
Fuck it.
He's going,
he's going to take a strain and he's going to me.
No,
not you.
Uh,
Oh,
he's going to take a strain trying to try to take two.
Um,
I believe his,
yeah,
he's got a top speed of 300.
So he's going to,
he's going to go for 300 and that would put him in the lead.
So that's going to be one setback.
Uh,
he failed.
So,
uh,
he does not,
but he also takes a strain on his bike.
So one strain on his bike.
Did I already put a strain on your bike?
Mac?
One strain.
All right.
Moving into the next.
That bike told a really bad pun.
Did it?
Yeah.
That's why I got the strain.
Oh,
no.
It told one bad pun.
Oh,
it just told a pun.
So it's redundant.
All right.
Redundant.
Flutterplume.
A one.
Uh,
it is.
She is going three.
So it's going to be three difficulties.
She's going to be trying to move ahead.
Um,
to,
to catch up to or overtake the leader.
Do you think she gets a setback because she'd be overtaking the tie?
I would think so personally.
All right,
let's do it.
Failed.
Moves back one.
Yeah.
And all of a sudden she fell into those razor blades.
All of a sudden because she had three threats?
No,
that's not how it works.
And everyone starts gasping because now Max Skyblade is in the lead.
Pash McKenzie.
Oh,
Pash McKenzie.
Sorry.
Pash McKenzie.
He looks incredulous.
I'm incredulous.
All right.
Uh,
that brings up grinder who is still in second place is going to do his
streetwise check.
Uh,
one difficulty because it's not moving and,
uh,
two setbacks.
That's it.
Did I not change it again?
God.
Oh no,
no,
no.
No,
I rolled for fucking waypoint.
God damn it.
My bad.
God damn it.
Streetwise.
One difficulty,
two setbacks.
Succeeded.
Oh,
he just stays.
He can't go faster than two.
Um,
Mac,
that's you.
Streetwise.
All right.
So if I'm just trying to move up,
uh,
am I just trying to keep going?
So I just keep it down to one difficulty or is it two?
So you're at,
you're at three.
If you want to maintain,
it's going to be one less than your speed.
So it'll,
it would be two.
Okay.
You still got two setbacks,
two setbacks.
yes,
because of where you're at.
I'm going to,
I'm going to fall back after this.
All right.
Oh,
I won.
Fall back.
Wow.
So you stay,
right?
Wow.
Good job,
Mash.
I'm so bad.
Did you call me Smash?
I'll do Mash.
Oh,
wow.
Oh,
I like it.
I don't know what to call you anymore.
Uh,
Mash.
It's really a problem.
I can call you Pack.
Okay.
So you,
you stay.
Uh,
I like,
I like Pack better.
The Anvil.
Um,
he's going to try and move up one.
and it's street wise.
Um,
he's going one.
So it's only going to be one difficulty.
Uh,
two setback.
Succeeded.
He's moving up one.
Hey,
what happened?
What?
The,
uh,
the ambience,
the duration track.
Oh.
I guess I lost all of it.
And the most dangerous race music makes me think of like blazing saddles.
Weird.
All right.
Uh,
and,
oh,
Amy Flutterbloom.
She's going for street wise.
She's going 200.
So it's going to be 200 or two difficulty.
Two setback.
She failed.
So she will fall back.
And now she's in last place.
Bringing us up to the pinch.
Uh,
grinder.
He's going to take his role.
Discipline.
Uh,
one difficulty.
Nope.
I'm in the wrong one.
grinder.
Discipline.
That's no,
not deception.
That doesn't make any sense.
Discipline.
One difficulty.
And it's,
it's,
it's two setbacks,
right?
Oh,
it's three setbacks.
Oh,
glob.
Three setbacks.
Fuck.
Oh,
glob.
All right.
Uh,
grinder failed.
So he has fall.
Fallen out of 200 for once.
Uh,
Mac,
it's up to you.
Uh,
you can maintain.
Well,
I'm going to,
I'm,
I'm going to use my boost here.
Unless if Matt wants,
you just want to maintain.
Yeah,
I'm just maintaining.
Keeping it cool.
Um,
I still want to use my,
I'm going to tell him,
Hey,
just keep straight.
It's getting,
it's going to get a little bit narrow,
but you just got to keep adding straight forward.
You got it.
Let's see how good this advice was.
Uh,
the difficulty would be three then,
right?
Yep.
Cause he's going 300.
And three setbacks.
Wait.
Yes.
Yeah.
You get setbacks too.
Four threats.
Oh no.
Four threats.
Oh no.
Mac.
My hot dog bun or my hot dog wrapper is soaked.
It's so,
it's so soaked in sewage.
All right.
So no boost.
Oh,
your vigilance is not that good.
I mean,
it's better than my other ones.
Cause I get the proficiency.
Yeah.
All right.
So I just roll for discipline and it's just regular,
uh,
three,
three difficulty and three setbacks,
three difficulty.
No,
no,
two difficulty.
Cause he's not advanced.
you're right.
You're right.
So you should have rolled two difficulty,
Andy.
You want me to re-roll?
Re-roll because if,
cause look at you,
you had two failures on that.
You would have,
Oh no,
you would have failed anyway.
So don't re-roll.
Nevermind.
Cause it would have cast,
it would have canceled out.
Um,
so it's two difficulty,
three setbacks,
three setbacks.
Yeah.
The pinch,
the pinch is three setbacks.
All right.
So you,
you,
you fell one back.
Uh,
the anvil is going now.
He is going to take his discipline.
Discipline.
Um,
and he's at 200 and he's going to go for the lead.
Duh.
It's the anvil.
Uh,
he failed.
So he dropped back.
Mac is now in first place again.
Um,
flutter,
boom.
We'll now take her discipline.
Our discipline role.
Uh,
and she's at,
Oh shit.
She's at one.
So one difficulty.
And three setbacks.
Wait.
Right.
Okay.
Yeah.
I was just thinking,
um,
if she was trying to get,
but you're right.
Um,
I,
I don't think she goes to zero,
right?
No,
I wouldn't imagine she stalls out or anything.
Right.
Uh,
but she does not move ahead.
That means Mac is still in the lead as he goes off of the pinch into the drop.
I'm pinching it.
He,
well,
no,
you're dropping it.
Now he done pinched it.
He dropped that bitch.
Yeah.
This is a little anticlimactic though.
This music.
No,
we already did this one.
All right.
This is what we're going with.
Oh,
fuck.
All right.
Um,
Oh,
so it's grinder.
Sorry.
Uh,
grinder is going to try and move back up to his one spot.
He is going to roll.
Uh,
it's the drop.
What is the drop?
Cool.
Well,
yeah.
Uh,
he's at one difficulty,
one setback.
And I believe that's it.
Check failed.
So he stays at one.
Uh,
no,
no.
Redo that.
Cause you're at the way point.
I did it again.
God damn it.
That's what I get for trying to move the way,
the way point.
Um,
cool.
I mean,
as much as I would like that failure,
we all,
we all had a gentleman's agreement to make it fair.
We did.
I didn't hear anything about gentlemen's.
All right.
He succeeded.
Wait,
no,
I rolled.
Why did I roll fucking Mac?
Why did you roll Mac?
That doesn't stop it.
I'm going to get this sooner or later.
This is going great.
one setback,
right?
One second.
All right.
He moves back up to two.
Grindr is now tied with Mac Skyblade.
Mac Skyblade or Pash McKenzie is now your turn.
Oh my God.
Sorry.
Are you going to help?
These are your three that you can do in a row.
not on the,
not,
not on the drive.
Okay.
Cause he's so cool.
All right.
Well,
no,
because the razor blades can hurt him.
Yeah.
Can I,
so if I'm trying to advance,
what do I put?
What do I put down?
it's going to be two difficulty.
Um,
one setback
and that's it
against whatever
to advance.
Uh,
cool.
if you wanted to stay,
it would only be one difficulty.
If you want to advance,
it'll be two difficulty.
All right.
I'm going to do it.
Everybody watch.
six.
He moves up to first.
Mac is now no longer tied for first.
He is first.
First is the worst.
All right.
Uh,
the anvil.
What is he?
Okay.
He can take three.
All right.
The anvil is,
it's now the anvil's turn
and it's going to be his cool.
His cool is three.
He's at one.
He is going to,
um,
try and go for the lead.
Uh,
he's got one setback,
one difficulty
and that's it.
Cause he's only going a hundred.
He's taking a strain.
The anvil zooms up to first
or tied at first.
Oh,
it's off anvil.
His bike does take a strain.
He's the one that already took one too,
right?
Yep.
So he's,
he's two of three.
If he maxes out the strain,
uh,
that will be one,
um,
one damage.
And each strain after that would be a damage
and he only can take three damage
before his bike blows up.
Oh,
how much can we take?
You can take four,
I believe.
Four strain and four damage?
Four strain,
three damage.
Okay.
So on your fourth strain,
you'll take a damage
and each,
for each strain after that,
it's an,
it's a damage.
Uh,
it's not even ours.
No,
uh,
but if it blows up,
you can't win.
So you can't win if your bike done blowed up.
Oh,
well,
yeah,
there,
unless it,
unless it blew up on the long run.
the last,
the last leg.
And it's skidded.
Yeah.
Uh,
flutter plume is going to do the same thing.
She's going to try,
she's going to try and take two spots.
She's going to,
she's going to eat a strain.
on her cool check.
Oh,
actually,
no,
she's not going to do that.
Uh,
just looking at this check.
Uh,
she's going to stay.
Yeah,
she's going to try and gain one,
but she's not going to take the strain.
And it's one set back.
Uh,
she failed.
So she stays at one.
All right,
moving to the next area.
The razor blades.
Uh,
grinder is up.
Grinder is going to
try and stay.
so he will
roll survival.
Um,
it's at 200.
So one difficulty
and
two setback.
And he fails.
Um,
but
no threats.
So he does not go into the blades,
but he does fall back.
Uh,
Mac,
that brings it to you.
I'm going to use,
I'm going to
perceive.
I'm going to try to perceive
something.
Okay.
Uh,
you do get a boost on perception
because of your hunting goggles.
Oh,
yeah.
Two
boost
and
two setback.
Uh,
difficulty
three.
he's going
300.
So,
yes.
Oh,
no.
Yes.
Three advantages,
though.
Okay.
How would you like to spend your advantages?
Um,
um,
I'll hear,
oh,
I,
I point out where the razor blades are.
So he knows to avoid those,
um,
like the most prominent.
Here's a,
here's an idea I have here.
Just a list of somebody else's ideas.
Uh,
three advantages.
Move up one step.
the initiative track.
Okay.
Yeah,
I guess I'll do that then.
Um,
how would we explain that?
Uh,
okay.
Okay.
Um,
after the drop,
he slowed down a little bit,
but he was able to turn to put himself into a good position.
Okay.
To be able to not go faster,
but to make a,
a better first move after the drop.
Okay.
So Mac would just have to do this manually.
You are now going to roll ahead of grinder,
uh,
because of the ex expert scouting of,
uh,
Sarn McSewage.
Oh,
but thankfully he's got that hot dog wrapper.
Uh,
it's soaked.
It's just so,
okay.
So it offers nothing anymore.
They do nothing.
All right.
Uh,
it is your turn though,
Mac,
you do not get a boost.
He was not successful.
Oh,
and then the stars,
you just remind me again,
the stars are two setbacks.
That's right.
Okay.
And then I'm just trying to do,
uh,
where am I at the race?
Let's see.
Um,
I'm going to maintain,
I think.
Okay.
So that would be two difficulty.
All right.
Two setback and two setback.
Hooray.
Threats.
Oh,
but he got more threats.
All right.
So you do succeed.
Um,
so you do not,
you,
you don't lose your place,
but you do slide into the razor blades.
Um,
you still are able to maintain,
uh,
able to maintain speed.
Uh,
however,
you do need to roll for a critical injury.
Oh,
all right.
What do I roll?
Um,
I don't think I can send this to you,
but I will,
I'm going to,
I'm going to roll it right now.
Sarn is winded.
Now,
I mean,
Mac is,
Mac is winded until the end of the encounter.
The target cannot voluntarily suffer strain to activate any abilities or gain additional maneuvers.
Oh shit.
That actually is very applicable.
Yes.
So,
yeah,
if you remember,
in order to take two spots,
you have to suffer strain.
Um,
all right.
Anvil.
General skills.
What is it?
Survival.
And he is going 300.
And two setbacks.
Check failed.
All right.
Uh,
the anvil falls back.
Uh,
Mac is in first place,
although he has been torn up by these razor blades.
Um,
causing him to be winded.
Going to flutter plume.
Again,
again.
Flutter plume is survival.
And she's going to try and go for two.
Um,
so that
just causes a strain.
Two setbacks.
One difficulty.
She succeeds.
Jumping up neck and neck
with,
um,
Mac.
Where's her strain?
Her bike does take a strain.
She,
her bike can take three strain.
And this is only two.
Or one.
This is the first one.
Yes.
Uh,
but they are neck and neck right now.
Are you two are neck and neck?
Uh,
going to top of the initiative order as you go into the genth curve.
It is Mac's turn.
You can turn.
Coordination.
Can I do another one?
Because I didn't use it on the,
on the path.
Or pillars of the path.
You can do two in a row.
These are your three here.
Yeah.
Can you help me?
No,
my three were the pinch,
the drop in the razor blades,
but you use it on the razor blade.
So you cannot do two in a row on this,
on the genth curve,
but you can't go on the switch bike.
That's right.
If you,
if you,
if you hit somewhere else,
drop razor blades and genth curve would have been your three,
but your three are pinch drop and razor blades.
Yes.
I was just thinking since I didn't use it for the pillars of the path,
whatever.
You're right.
Right.
I'm just going to roll and stay in my same place.
Okay.
So two difficult team,
one set back.
And you fall back one.
Flutter plume is now in the lead.
I hate this guy.
What's his name?
Yeah.
Sorry.
Grindr.
Is rolling.
Coordination.
Um,
he's trying to move up.
So it's going to remain one difficulty and one setback.
Succeeded.
Now everyone is bunched around max sky blade.
It was falling back.
Uh,
the anvil is going to try and move up as well.
Uh,
and coordination.
Um,
one difficulty,
one setback.
The anvil has tied into the lead with flutter plume.
Flutter plume is going to try and take a lead.
On coordination.
She is at 300.
So it's going to be three difficulty.
Um,
one setback.
Check fail.
So she falls back.
Now the anvil is in the lead.
Interesting.
Moving to the top of the order.
Mac.
Uh,
Sarn,
you do have the ability to help here.
Um,
is there,
there's no setbacks on this one.
There's no setbacks on the switchback.
What do you want to do?
Mac?
I'm trying to just debate if I want to go ahead.
Do you think I should advance or not?
I think you should.
I think you should try to advance.
All right.
So what do I do?
Do I add another difficulty to that?
Or do I just,
uh,
it would be still,
it'd just be two difficulty.
If you wanted to agree,
if you wanted to play it safe,
it would only be one difficulty.
All right.
I'm going to advance.
Okay.
So two difficulty,
no setbacks.
And are we doing any help?
Any boosts?
No.
Who,
me or him?
It would be from Sarn.
You know what?
I am.
Well,
hold on.
I want to check out good.
My discipline.
Um,
uh,
no,
I don't.
No.
How's your leadership?
Three.
It's one more,
uh,
green.
All right.
So you're not getting a boost on this one,
Mac.
Bitch.
All right.
So,
yep.
Hey,
at any point in time,
you can tell me that you want me to help try to boost.
Uh,
I mean,
this one would be a help,
a good boost because like,
um,
this one doesn't have any setbacks on it.
And if you did it on,
if you're saving it for the long run,
you would get a setback because you're trying to overtake the lead.
Unless,
unless somehow you're in the lead,
which everybody would have to lose.
no,
you can't because,
uh,
the anvil can't fall back to.
All right.
Yeah,
I can.
Yeah.
I'll try to do the discipline.
Okay.
Difficulty is three.
Uh,
difficulty is two.
Two.
No setback.
All right.
Boost.
All right.
Boo gets boost.
Hold on.
And I won.
All right.
And you move up one.
You are tied for the lead.
All right.
Uh,
grinder is next.
Uh,
grinder cannot move up.
So he's only going to do,
this is his resilience.
And it will be one difficulty because he's not moving up.
Uh,
no setbacks.
Grinder succeeds.
He stays,
he stays where he is.
Uh,
the anvil is next.
He cannot move up either.
So his coordination,
no resilience.
Uh,
is going to be,
where's he at?
Three.
So it's going to be at two difficulty.
No setback.
He failed.
So,
uh,
anvil moves back,
putting Mac as soul in first place.
Um,
flutter poom is going to try and,
try and advance on her,
uh,
resilience.
Um,
she's at two,
um,
no setback.
She succeeds.
She is now tied with Mac.
Mac and flutter plume are now tied going into the long run.
All right.
This is to end the second lap.
Um,
go ahead,
Mac.
All right.
Athletics.
And then I don't,
what?
What?
I was going to say,
and one,
um,
how do I maintain my speed?
Do I just,
uh,
do I,
I can't,
I'm sorry.
I can't remember.
Is it adding one or less than one?
So it would be less,
it would be less difficulty.
So you would do two difficult team.
Um,
and you would have no setbacks.
Oh,
no setbacks.
Right.
I want to just maintain.
If you wanted to maintain.
So you,
you succeed in maintaining.
I'm maintaining.
Uh,
grinder is going to take his athletics.
Uh,
one,
uh,
one difficulty.
Cause he's not moving up.
Uh,
no setbacks because he's not catching up.
And he stays where he is.
The anvil.
Uh,
he's going to try and move up with athletics.
He's going to have a setback because.
Yeah.
He would be moving into the lead.
Uh,
two difficulty.
Cause he's at 200.
He,
he succeeds.
So now we have a three-way tie for first with flutter plume going.
She's going to make,
an athletics check.
Uh,
she's going to be taking the lead.
So that's a setback.
And.
She's going three.
So it's three difficulty.
Uh,
no,
that's on the anvil.
Ow.
My bad.
I know.
I got to stop fucking up.
three difficulty.
One setback.
She does fail.
So Mac,
uh,
Mac and grinder or not grinder.
And anvil come in tied for first.
Um,
if it were to end now.
So let's say that was the last,
that was the last lap.
Mac would have won because he,
he came in first,
first.
And that's,
what's so important about being at the top of the initiative order.
Okay.
Um,
and flutter plume would have lost.
And you would have won both bets.
And also flutter plume would have been,
would have,
would have lost.
So you would have won both bets and you would get your,
your tip.
Um,
you guys decided to only do two laps tonight.
No,
we,
we decided on three and a big one,
a big,
but no,
no,
no.
only one big,
but no,
that's mine.
And okay.
You guys are moving in.
You do have a quick pit stop.
Uh,
Sarn at this point,
you can move if you wanted to move.
Moving.
Um,
moving,
moving.
Sorry.
Yeah,
I do want to move.
Okay.
So I want us to move.
So I want to move right by this light post here.
Okay.
So that would give you gent curve switchback in long run that you could do two in a row.
One of them,
or I mean,
yes,
two in a row.
And let's see what else.
Um,
let's,
what if you fail your stealth check?
Then you,
I think you,
uh,
either will fight the security guards or you have to stay where you're at.
Well,
let's cross that bridge when it comes.
All right.
Let's just hope you,
you,
you succeed in your stealth check.
all right.
What's the difficulty?
Um,
difficulty is average.
Holy crap.
Jesus.
Uh,
but only,
only two advantages.
All right.
So you move over.
All right.
It's paused.
So you're not gonna be able to move it.
I have to move it.
And you're in the bushes.
Uh,
right.
No,
right by this lamppost.
Okay.
You're blending in with the lamppost somehow.
All right.
Let's,
this is your final lap.
This is your final lap.
All right.
Then,
uh,
let's see.
Hold on.
I'm going to change the music here.
I'm going to go make another turn.
All right.
Don't you even.
He's a pisser.
Oh,
He's a pisser.
Ooh.
He's a pisser.
Thank you.
This is the song she's been using the entire time.
Yeah.
That's right.
No energy drink today?
What?
No energy drink today?
Oh, two of them.
Two.
Yeah, I gotta quit that shit, but it's hard.
It's like, I hate coffee.
Well, I don't hate coffee.
I can drink a little bit of it, but it gives me an upset stomach if I have too much of it.
Oh, okay.
I was gonna ask, do you just not like the taste?
It's just, if I have, I'll normally have a cup of coffee, like sometimes in the morning
when I first get up, but I'll never almost ever finish the cup.
And I'll also like overload it with cream.
I can't drink it black or else it makes my stomach even more upset.
It's just, if I have more than one cup, I'll like, if I end up having like two cups of
coffee, I'll end up having to get up, I'll get an upset stomach and, you know, kind of,
you know, have to use the bathroom.
I just, but that doesn't happen with energy drinks.
I don't know what the deal is.
Yeah, that is weird.
Yeah.
Might change your mind if you get kidney stones.
No, yeah, probably.
Did you, uh, did energy drinks give you kidney stones?
Yeah.
Really?
Yeah, Kepner got them.
Oh, really?
Well, he got it from Mountain Dew.
Oh, wow.
But I know he also used to drink a lot of Monster, and he got kidney stones.
This isn't the right song.
Yeah, mama.
Got me.
All right, now this shit is getting fucking serious.
We got the last lap.
The crowd is fucking hot.
You guys keep jumping back and forth on who's in the lead here, and the, the, the, uh, the
favorite, the crowd favorite, and the racist favorite.
So I, I'm making favorite.
Is technically tied for last place?
Is that how you say it?
I guess you could be tied for third place too, but, um, also technically tied for last place.
Um, Sarn, you do have a minute.
Uh, the, the second pit stop is a little bit shorter than the first pit stop, but you do have
a minute to, uh, radio to Mac, if you have anything to say.
No, I just think that we should be closer to the end, the last three, the, the gent curve,
the switchback and the, the long run.
You got to push that bike.
Are I pushing the limit?
Yeah.
I got to punch it.
Oh shit, he can't.
Oh, he can't.
Wow.
Cause you're winded.
Um, so, uh, you can try and heal the critical.
All right.
Don't I do that?
Even though I'm not anywhere near the, the garage.
Um, right.
I guess you'd have to, let's call it one more stealth check.
Okay.
And we'll call that there and back.
And let's see what the, uh, do you remember the healing for criticals?
Recovering from critical.
It is important to note that even if, what the hell you should be treated.
Oh, it's winded, right?
Yeah.
Average.
It's going to, it's going to be an average medical check.
Well, if I succeed the stealth.
You're going to have to succeed the stealth to get you there and back.
I don't, I just don't want you to have to roll twice.
And winded, it's going to be average and it's going to be a medical.
So I'm going to have to roll twice.
You're going to have to roll two twice.
Once for stealth and one for medical.
Just, I don't want to make you roll twice for the stealth.
I don't think that's worthwhile.
All right.
I get there.
Okay.
So you snuck back.
Um, so, uh, I, so, so Sarn, he just senses like what's going on.
He knows the stakes.
So Sarn, Sarn sneaks up against the hill.
He climbs up the cliff in through a window in the garage.
Mac didn't even know there were windows in that garage and he pops through the window,
uh, scaring Mac.
And what does, what does Sarn say?
He was winded.
What does Sarn say?
Uh, Hey, I heard you're breathing a little tough over there.
You scared me.
How'd you get in?
Oh, I am very, very sneaky.
I didn't know stealth was a part of your skill set.
I'm an assassin.
Oh, I guess.
That's like the major point of being an assassin is stealth.
No, I guess you're, I guess that makes total sense.
Okay.
So you can help me from being winded.
Yes.
Sarn's snapping to the moment.
Uh, yeah.
He, he just fucking throws it out there.
You're definitely not a doctor.
Yes.
Um, but you do have an advantage.
So, uh, I'm going to say, I guess technically you can name the advantage, but I'm going to
give you an idea.
Um, your advantage is you can do it once you do, you do have four strain available or three
strain available.
Um, I, I will say that the critical is not healed, but you do get one extra strain or one
extra attempt at the, um, at doing maneuver for strain.
Catch my drift.
No.
Okay.
So the critical injury says you cannot take a strain to get an extra maneuver.
Okay.
Right.
But I'm saying, uh, you can do it one time.
Oh, okay.
But not any other times.
Okay.
All right.
Yeah.
No, I'm fine with that.
Because you had two advantages, you do get it.
So it's critical technically isn't injured, but it's, or isn't healed, but it is healed
for one time for like one exception.
Or do you want to make it, if I do it, or if he, if he decides to go for the extra maneuver,
it's worth two strain.
Hmm.
He's really, he's really pushing the biker himself.
I mean, yes, but he's not going to be able to go do it, do it twice.
So you're saying every, every, it's the same, it's kind of the same thing.
Kind of the same thing.
Cause you wouldn't do it twice.
So it's the same thing.
And I'm not going to penalize you an extra time.
So, so what I'm saying, boom, to catch you up is that you can take extra strain to try
and get two spots instead of one, but you're only going to be able to do that once.
If you didn't, if you didn't have the critical injury, you could do it more than once, but
I'm saying you can only do it once.
Oh, should I try it?
Well, I would have behooved me to do that on like a part of the track that like, like I
have a better chance of doing like the discipline track or whatever.
Um, that's kind of up to you.
I guess the way I see it, not that I'm an expert in this game we made up literally today, but
my, my sense would be to use it when you have the best chance, uh, either you're far behind
and you need it or you have the best chance of succeeding, which may very well be the switch
back or the long run.
Okay.
That would be my natural sense for when you should use it.
But again, I'm not an expert.
I just made this game up today.
Sorry.
May have a different, different opinion.
Oh, that's exactly what I was thinking.
Okay.
And also let's push it in at the switch back and Sarn is right there.
Now he can get you the boost.
Yeah.
The boost, the boost pirate.
Okay.
Now racers, you have, they have gone back up to, uh, the start here and, um, time to go.
Uh, re-roll initiative, huh?
Yep.
All right.
I'm rolling for the NPCs on cool.
All right.
Oh man.
Look at all those dice.
All right.
So Mac is at the top of the initiative order.
This helps you out a lot at the end, especially with flutter plume at the bottom.
So if you, if you finish first, that's, uh, that's pretty good.
That's something.
It is.
It's something.
That is a lot of credits for, for Sarn.
Yeah.
Okay.
It's like 1300 credits.
Yeah.
I didn't really do the math.
All right.
I did.
Okay, good.
Uh, you must be some kind of odds calculator.
Right.
Payout calculator.
They did.
Oh, you can't see it.
I got the, the rose ice in there.
All right, Mac, you are first.
Oh yeah.
I forgot.
Oh yeah.
Right.
Oh, you're right.
God damn it.
Come on work.
And then, uh, I don't put a setback down for this one, right?
Is that what your little note says?
Uh, you are.
If you want to take first, you take one.
Right.
Yeah, but I don't, I don't.
Or you can try to play it safe.
I'll, I'll try it.
One setback.
Roll.
Ah, ruff, roll.
Okay.
I hate this.
I'm just kidding.
Blacks.
How did you know?
All right, Mac.
Back.
Grindr.
Grindr cannot move ahead.
Fuck Grindr.
Uh, one.
If Grindr ends up winning this, I'm going to be very mad.
Oh my God.
That would be awesome.
I mean, you guys would still kind of win.
Yeah.
One difficulty.
No setback.
Slow and steady wins the race.
Says Grindr.
Probably.
The anvil still in first.
He's going to cruise into the next leg.
Uh, so he's not going to try to get ahead.
Um, athletics.
Uh, so no setback.
Cause he's already in the lead.
Um, two difficulty because he's not trying to get ahead.
Oh, he's going 300.
He's going 300, but yeah.
Uh, but he failed.
So he moves back and now everyone is fucking bunching.
And flutter plume.
And flutter plume, uh, is going to try and get ahead.
So.
Athletics.
And, and she's going 300.
200.
Um, and one setback.
Cause she would be taking the lead.
And she takes the lead.
Going into the next.
The next leg.
Uh, Mac.
Attack.
Did you just yell attack?
I said Mac attack.
I think you just said attack though.
Mac attack.
All right, Mac.
It's when you're, uh, into the big max.
Okay.
You are going, you're going 200.
So if you wanted to maintain one difficulty, if you want to move ahead, two difficulty.
Uh, two setbacks.
Oh no.
I'm just trying to maintain for God's sakes.
And you have moved back.
Uh, grinder.
This game's rigged.
Rigged.
I thought you rigged this game, Sarn.
What happened to her ship overheating?
I tried to get it on the first round.
It didn't work.
Okay.
Uh, this is streetwise.
I thought you had good streetwise.
Three.
Yeah, that's not bad.
Two setback.
Uh, and he's going to be at one difficulty.
Uh, grinder maintains.
Anvil.
Streetwise.
Uh, he's at two, 200.
So two difficulty.
Two setback.
There's like no yellow dice being rolled.
Uh, he moves ahead.
Flutterpoom.
She's going to take a streetwise.
Two setback.
And she's going 300.
So three difficulty.
Failed.
She moves back.
This puts Anvil in first again.
Did you just laugh?
No.
Oh.
All right.
Moving into the.
Angry part.
Moving into the pinch.
That puts, uh, Mac first.
Oh, I'm definitely giving him a boost.
You can.
You may.
I'm going to.
You may.
I will.
Go for it.
You can.
Just watch me.
I will.
I am.
How fast is he going?
Uh.
He's going one.
Uh, 100.
100.
These boosts have not helped.
Not at all.
I don't think they do anything.
They're stupid.
We need force powers.
There's only like one time.
The razor blades.
And then he still failed.
And got five, five threats.
No.
All right.
So if I want.
Three advantages.
Oh.
So if I want to advance.
I just got to keep it at two difficulty.
Right?
Yes.
You will advance one.
Um.
Wait.
Hold on.
Two.
Three.
Three setback.
No.
It's only one difficulty actually.
Right?
Because you're.
You're going.
You're going 100.
Yeah.
All right.
Didn't even need the boost.
Yeah.
But it would have helped.
Would have.
I mean.
It wouldn't have hurt.
I guess.
All right.
Uh.
Down to.
The grinder.
And.
When I.
When I say the grinder.
I think of that.
What was the.
That TV show with D.
No.
With.
With D.
She had that.
Oh.
It was the.
The.
Yeah.
That's not even.
I always think of the gut grinder from Adventure Time.
Oh.
Is that a burrito?
No.
That's.
The everything burrito.
Yeah.
All right.
And he's going.
Two.
But he's not.
Gonna.
Go ahead.
So one.
Three setback.
God damn it.
This is a tough stretch.
Check.
Failed.
So grinder falls back.
The anvil.
Is up next.
I have a feeling his.
Fucking discipline is terrible.
It's a real bitch.
Okay.
He's.
Fat.
And he's going.
You're saying.
Fat people have no discipline.
Yeah.
Okay.
Three.
Based on like.
Personal experience.
All right.
So three setbacks.
Three difficulty.
Because he's going 300.
He fails.
He falls back.
So now we got.
A three way tie.
For first.
Flutter.
Pull him coming up.
Her discipline.
And she's going to.
She's going 20.
So it's two difficulty.
Two ability.
Three setback.
She succeeds.
So she pulls into first.
All right.
Moving into the drop.
Mac.
You are first.
Drop.
Sarn.
This is outside your.
Your purview.
So you can't do two in a row here.
Fuck.
We're getting fucked.
The drop is kind of easy though.
Isn't it?
Seemed like it last time.
It's one setback.
Mm hmm.
And I think.
I'm going to try to go.
Can I go.
Can I try to advance again.
Or should I.
Should I stay.
What do you think?
I think you should try to advance.
All right.
See.
That's why I like you Andy.
You're always got my better interests.
Yeah.
Are you talking to Andy.
Or are you talking to Sarn.
I'm talking of Sarn Andy.
Sarn Andy.
Uh.
Sarn Andy.
All right.
So do I bump the difficulty up to three then.
Or do I keep it at two.
It's going to be at two.
And then one setback.
One setback.
Yep.
Oh.
I hope this works.
I don't know.
Moan.
Oh.
Fuck this game.
Wow.
He's losing it.
Okay.
Grinder.
Is going to be.
You know what?
I want Grinder.
He switches.
He doesn't care if Mac wins now.
One difficulty.
One setback.
Right.
Yeah.
One setback.
God damn it.
I rolled Mac Skyblade.
Thank you.
Go back to Mac Skyblade.
That he failed.
Mac Skyblade now and last.
Hate this game.
All right.
Well.
It's been wonderful.
The drop was my cool.
That was my.
That was my time to shine.
All right.
Hey.
As long as you don't.
Get hurt on the next one.
To.
Get winded again.
Oh.
We're fucked.
Wait.
Hold on.
The grinder only rolled one.
So he's not moving up.
Oh no.
He's moving up.
Sorry.
Okay.
Two.
One setback.
The anvil fails.
He falls behind.
Flutterplume is going to move for two ahead.
Cool.
And.
She's already going 300.
Right.
So three difficulty.
One setback.
She fails and moves back one.
So still bunched.
Moving into.
The razor blades.
Or do you want to boost me?
Yeah.
I'll boost you.
Okay.
Boost me.
If you boost this one.
You cannot boost the gent curve.
But.
I can do the switchback and the long run.
That's correct.
Just getting it all out.
All out before you roll.
Before.
Fucked.
How fast are we going?
200?
No.
We're going 100.
Yeah.
We're fucked.
Boost.
Lucky it's not.
Mac.
With the three threats.
Yeah.
You can't go into the razor blades.
I mean you could.
That'd be really stupid.
Alright.
So.
I tried.
Mac.
You do get a boost.
Okay.
And then what's my difficulty?
If I want to advance.
So I just keep it at two.
If you want to advance one.
It would just be a difficulty of one.
Yeah.
Because if you do.
You can't do two.
Well you can.
But I think we should save that for later.
I would tend to agree.
Roll.
Hooray.
Woo.
Okay.
My boost.
My boost really helped.
Yeah.
Uh.
Your boost was the difference I think.
Yeah.
I think so.
Alright.
So.
Thankfully.
And Sarn helped.
Uh.
Grinder.
And I helped.
Uh.
What is it?
Survival?
Um.
He can't advance.
So he's only going to be one difficulty.
And two setbacks.
Jesus Christ.
This is difficult here.
Yeah.
These are some hard rolls.
Fail.
Grinder moves back.
And Grinder moves back.
Oh.
Oh no.
It's coming down to.
The two people I bet on.
I don't like this.
Alright.
And.
I mean I'm going to win money either way.
No.
I won't.
If Butterplume wins.
I lose everything.
You lose everything.
Yeah.
Uh.
Who am I?
I'm at the anvil.
And we are on survival.
And he needs to roll.
One difficulty.
And two setback.
Succeeded.
So anvil moves into a tie here.
Flutterplume.
Flutterplume's going to roll her.
Survival.
She's going.
200.
So two difficulty.
And two setback.
She moves ahead.
Currently in first.
Okay.
Moving into Gentth curve.
Gentth curve.
Alright.
Ignation.
Man.
I was getting so worried about the time.
Should I try to advance or.
What do you think.
Sarndy.
Um.
Should I.
Try to maintain.
I'm only one behind.
Or.
Yeah.
Uh.
With only one.
Setback.
I.
I think you should.
Try to advance.
Alright.
So keep it at two to advance tiger.
It would be.
Yes.
Yep.
I'm just double checking before I do it.
That's fine.
Yes.
Alright.
So he.
He moves.
He moves in a tie with flutter plume.
I'm black.
We can't say that anymore.
Okay.
Grindr.
Uh.
He's going to try and move up.
Of course.
Uh.
Coordination.
I mean.
I hope Grindr wins.
Uh.
Difficulty.
It's just going to be one.
One setback.
Ah.
It's not the right one.
I know.
I'm running like three characters.
Give me.
Give me a break.
Okay.
I mean.
I would give you a break.
If you rolled.
One of the.
Other three characters.
Or one of the three characters.
Look at this.
And not Max Sky.
That is.
Fucking terrible Grindr.
Grindr stays at one.
That is.
That is really bad.
Anvil.
Anvil can move up.
To tie here.
Uh.
Coordination.
Um.
Two difficulty.
One setback.
Moves up.
Moves up to tie.
Wait.
No.
Why not?
You rolled Grindr twice.
Oh.
I screwed up.
I screwed up again.
All right.
Anvil.
Coordination.
Man.
This would be all messed up.
If I wasn't actually paying attention.
Um.
Yeah.
Thank you.
But.
I.
I admit.
I fucked up.
Two.
One setback.
Okay.
Anvil does move up.
So he's.
He's tied.
For first right now.
And Flutterplume.
Is going to try.
And move up one.
Coordination.
Uh.
She's going.
Three hundred.
So three difficulty.
One setback.
She falls back.
Yes.
You are now in a tie.
With the anvil.
Going into.
The switchback.
Going back into the switchback.
All right.
I'm going to help you on this one.
Oh yeah.
There's the serious music.
All right.
Um.
I'm set up to go.
Whenever you're ready Andy.
How many.
Difficulty.
Are we at three hundred.
Going into the last.
The last leg.
The last two legs here.
All right.
So we've got.
We are going at three hundred.
So it's going to be three difficulty.
Wah wah.
Oh.
He succeeds with the boost.
Yes.
Stop.
Mac can move into first place here.
Mac.
You got.
Three difficulty.
Now.
Three difficulty.
Yeah.
You're going three hundred.
So it's going to be three difficulty.
But we don't have any setbacks.
No setbacks.
And a boost.
You know.
And a boost.
Yeah.
If you pushed.
You can't go past four.
Should we do it.
What do you mean.
You can't go past four.
Your.
Your bike is only capable.
Of speed of four.
Okay.
But if we push it.
Then we can go to four.
You're already at three.
So you're.
If you advance.
It's only one.
You don't have to push it.
Oh.
Okay.
So what do you think.
Well.
Just.
Or you can maintain.
Now.
Keep in mind.
You're the first one here.
So.
Flutterplum.
Still has to go this turn.
So.
So I say we.
We maintain.
Oh.
Down to two difficulty.
Yeah.
Not.
Not ten.
Stop.
Don't roll ten difficulty.
I'm rolling.
No.
Dude.
This maintaining stuff.
Is stupid.
It doesn't work.
Oh.
We really need the anvil.
To push up here.
Well.
The anvil.
Can't push up.
He can't go faster.
In three.
To not fall back.
You need the anvil.
To not fall back.
But you can still.
You can still.
Push up on the last.
The last one.
Yeah.
All right.
So.
Anvil.
This.
Is.
Resilience.
He's at.
300.
So.
Three difficulty.
No setback.
Oh.
No.
I rolled.
Next.
Skyblade.
No.
I rolled.
Okay.
All right.
So.
You get another roll.
I'm.
I'm sorry.
I keep doing that.
No.
That's.
I understand.
What.
How you keep doing.
Resilience.
Three difficulty.
No setbacks.
Failed.
Move back.
Three way tie.
Flutter plume.
Flutter plume really needs to fail this.
I wish I had a light side point.
Flutter plume.
Uh.
Resilience.
This is really.
I mean.
It's literally a resilience check.
This is checking your resilience.
Absolutely.
Flutter plume.
Flutter plume fails.
She falls back.
Now you're in a two way tie going into the last leg.
Mac.
And the anvil.
Someone else has to play my.
My.
My rolls.
You got.
You got to push it.
I got to punch it.
I think you got to punch it.
Where am I.
Are we in the.
Long run yet.
Yeah.
You're in the long run.
So can Sarnfield help.
You can't help me boost this one.
Oh no.
I'm going to.
You can.
I.
Absolutely.
Can.
Uh.
Only two difficulty.
Right.
And.
And one setback.
It's one setback to take the lead.
Yes.
All right.
So.
Sarn is going to boost.
To.
To Mac here.
I'm.
We're on the long run.
Right.
Yeah.
Uh.
Yeah.
We just did the switchback.
You're right.
Yeah.
Or you didn't.
I just.
I just moved.
I just moved it.
Yes.
I was making sure in my mind.
All right.
So I got one boost.
And then I got a.
I got a.
I got to go past him.
Right.
Um.
So then what do I do.
What do I do now?
Andy.
You said punch it.
What does that mean?
I think you got a.
You.
You got to go for.
Taking the lead.
How do I do that?
Because.
Just advance.
Just to.
You got to advance one.
Yeah.
So.
Two difficulty.
And a.
Uh.
Setback.
One setback.
Yes.
Because you'd be taking the lead.
And a boost.
Okay.
So two difficulty.
And.
Are you okay with that Mac?
I think so.
I mean.
And.
Last time we can go.
And.
If.
If you do this.
It's for the win.
I think.
Right?
Yeah.
If we advance.
Then we win.
Yes.
If we fall back.
Then it depends on.
The rest of the roles.
Anvil and.
Flutterplume.
Yeah.
We're fucked.
With your role so far.
Yes.
You should maintain.
How fast is Flutterplume going?
Flutterplume's going.
A hundred.
Flutterplume.
So she can do two.
And take a strain.
And take the lead.
Not if you.
Not if you take the lead first.
Yeah.
But if we.
If we maintain.
Then she.
Yeah.
I was.
I was kidding when I said maintain.
Oh.
Okay.
Yeah.
I think you got to go for it.
Two difficulty.
One boost.
One setback.
Two difficulty.
Yes.
You're going 20.
One boost.
And one setback.
Because you'd be taking the.
Taking the lead.
And I want to.
And I want to advance.
That's too difficult.
I just want to make sure.
Before.
Okay.
You succeed.
Yes.
We win.
And Mac.
Takes the win.
Let me.
Let me finish.
Let me finish these roles really quick.
Grinder.
Is.
Athletic.
Because the.
The anvil can push past.
No.
Nobody can push past.
Because you're.
You're already finished.
I just want to get these.
So we get the.
The standings.
Oh.
Okay.
Difficulty.
Is.
He's going one.
Uh.
No setbacks.
He's not catching up.
God damn it.
Athletics.
Uh.
One difficulty.
No setbacks.
Failed.
Grinder stays back.
Anvil.
Grinder never stood a chance.
Anvil is.
Athletics.
Uh.
I'm going to say.
It's a setback.
Even though.
Technically.
He can't take the lead.
Um.
It is still two.
All right.
So he succeeds.
But he's not.
He's not ahead of.
Of Mac.
Because of the initiative.
Right.
He would be ahead of anybody else.
Who would tie with Mac.
Uh.
Moving up to Flutterplume.
Who senses what's going on.
Or senses that Mac is about to win.
So she's going to punch it.
Oh no.
Uh.
She's taking a.
So this is athletics check.
She's going to take a strain.
A setback to get up to the.
Ability.
Difficulty.
Oh.
It's only going to be one difficulty.
Because she's.
She's taking a strain.
She fails.
Uh.
When she takes that extra strain.
And punches her bike.
Her bike.
Explodes.
And.
Her.
Maven and murdering.
Her bike.
Her bike explodes.
It stops floating.
And it just grinds to a halt.
In third place.
Behind.
Mac.
Um.
Anvil.
And then grinder.
And.
So.
As.
Mac.
Takes the.
Takes the turn.
Guns it.
Past everyone.
And.
Flies through.
First place.
What is.
Sarn do.
When he sees him fly through.
Um.
Runs over to the garages.
I think.
Does he run up into the window again?
Yeah.
Sarn runs through.
Ways for the bike to park.
And then.
Jumps through the window.
And jumps through the window.
And.
And Mac.
Mac.
Flies through the.
The thing.
He does a donut.
Throws his hands up in the air.
Uh.
No one's really cheering him.
But.
He is so.
And then.
Excited.
Then he slides over.
Into the garage.
And.
I'm cheering me.
And then Sarn.
Sarn goes.
Goes to the fridge.
And grabs a.
Nice.
Big old thing.
Of blue milk.
Oh yeah.
Like a.
Like the.
The race.
Yeah.
All right.
What.
And he.
And Sarn walks over.
And hands it to Mac.
What were you saying boo?
I imagine everyone's cheering me.
No you.
No.
Absolutely.
Mac is imagining that.
One hundred percent.
But there are a lot of upset people about.
Uh.
That.
Flutterplume did not win.
Yeah.
But I'm an underdog.
You are an underdog.
And also you were the guy that.
Uh.
Was in the net.
So there are.
There are people there.
Mostly contrarians.
Who are excited that you won.
But.
You were the underdog.
But it's.
Now you're the top dog.
I'm the best there ever was.
Well.
That's not.
I get carried away.
I will get carried away.
This is the best day of my life.
So.
Sarn hugs Mac.
Not hugs.
Pat's Mac on the back.
Mac hugs.
But Sarn.
And not Pat's.
And I just.
Sarn has his arm.
As.
As Sarn's arms out.
And Pat's.
Mac's back.
Awkwardly.
And then immediately disengages to go collect.
Uh.
The winnings.
As.
Sarn peels away to go get his winnings.
Um.
Eno.
Comes around the corner.
And said.
And sees Mac.
And.
I.
Says.
Boy.
You still got it.
Your.
Your father would be proud.
He would be if he was still living.
If he did not get blowed up.
Blowed up.
Um.
And.
He gives.
We should probably get out of here.
Oh yeah.
Before people find out that.
Patch McKenzie was racing.
Uh.
He shakes your hand.
And he.
And uh.
He says to you.
I'll see you around kid.
It was good to catch up.
You too.
You know.
You too.
All right.
Um.
And.
Um.
Sarn.
You go over to that.
That um.
That robot.
And.
You're not very delicate.
And you grab it by its.
Um.
Its sides.
To get it to pay out.
And.
It does.
It pays you out.
It's.
It's a robot.
It is.
Operating according to its programming.
And it gives you the money you're owed.
Um.
Which I don't want to do the math.
Now I'll do it later.
And.
Um.
It's 1300.
Okay.
1300.
Credits.
You get for Flutterplume losing.
And.
Which is.
It was a three to one bet.
Yeah.
I had 300.
So that's 900.
Yeah.
Mac winning was a four to one.
And I put a 100.
So it's 400.
Okay.
So 1300.
Okay.
And.
As.
As you.
As you collect your winnings.
Then you walk by.
Uh.
Flutterplume.
Whose bike is just skidded through.
Uh.
The finish line.
So it did skid through.
So she did.
Do well enough to come in third place.
And.
Um.
She's sort of walking by you.
Um.
And.
She sort of looks at you.
With some recognition.
Um.
Sarn.
Your.
Your curiosity.
Gets the best of you.
Um.
You're.
You're very interested about this photo.
I know you were razzing her before.
No.
I was.
Just to get into her head.
Yeah.
Darn was doing that.
But.
Oh.
Shit.
Goku fell over.
Oh.
Um.
Wrong.
Interactual property.
I.
Uh.
Yellow haired.
Super guy.
Um.
I want to ask her how much she still owes on the.
On her family's debt.
And so.
So she stops.
And.
Or she.
She.
You guys are walking by each other.
And you stop her.
She.
She kind of looks at you.
And she's downtrodden.
Obviously she lost.
And you guys got in her head.
So.
Um.
She's having a bad day.
And.
And you stop.
I just want to.
Like.
Hey.
Um.
I.
Uh.
How much do you.
Oh.
On your debt.
For your family.
And.
And she turns to you.
And she said.
I.
I needed this race.
And.
Uh.
I just needed this one.
And.
And one more.
Um.
You know.
That.
This was a thousand.
The next one was two thousand.
And.
Yeah.
I was going to have to go to those slavers.
Uh.
My family was sold into slavery.
She says.
Um.
It's been.
It's been a few years.
And.
I was making some progress.
That doesn't answer my question.
So.
Two thousand.
So she needed to win this race.
And she needed to read the.
Win the next one.
Which would have been.
Um.
Two thousand.
Credits.
So she needs.
Two thousand more.
Right.
Okay.
I gave her two thousand credits.
And she looks at you.
And she's like.
What?
This is for.
For me?
What did.
No.
It's for your family.
What did I.
What did I do.
For this?
I don't even know you.
Um.
As you may or may not know.
Twi'leks are.
Often.
Sold.
To slavery.
Or.
Uh.
Well.
Slavery.
Or sex work.
Basically.
Um.
My sister's in it.
And.
This will help you.
Get out.
Help them get out of it.
I.
I don't.
I don't know what to say.
If I ever call.
And ask for help.
Come on by.
You.
Yeah.
You.
This is.
I.
Sorry.
Just walks away.
And she.
She.
So as you walk away.
She kind of watches you walk away.
And.
Is a little bit.
She's in disbelief.
She can't.
She can't believe it.
I mean.
She went from the lowest low.
Losing this race.
Basically.
For her family.
Because not winning this race.
Might mean she's out of the circuit.
And.
Two.
Basically winning two races.
You gave her 2,000 credits.
So she kind of just goes.
Goes along.
Like walking by.
With that.
With that going on.
We go back to.
Eno.
And.
Mac.
And.
He's.
Sort of bonding with Mac.
Hadn't seen him in a long time.
It was nice.
You know.
It was.
It was nice to see you race again.
You still got it.
You still got that.
Just that energy.
I remember seeing you as a.
As a young.
Young boy.
Um.
Or a young.
Young man.
Racing.
Um.
It was.
It was something else.
Um.
Thanks.
And.
He gives to you.
Um.
He makes.
He makes like a.
A motion on his wrist.
And it beeps on.
Like your calm.
Or.
Your.
Your communicator.
And he says.
These.
These are the coordinates.
For the.
Uh.
The last known.
Place that I've known.
Where.
Carnage was.
And.
Uh.
I think he'd like to hear from you.
All right.
I'll.
I'll look into it.
And I take it kind of casual like.
And just.
Think about it.
And.
Uh.
You know.
Shakes your hand.
And.
Walks past.
Um.
As you guys are finished.
Uh.
You guys are.
Like.
Walk.
Walking out.
You guys are just.
You're.
You're beat.
It's been.
It's been a long day.
It's been an emotional roller coaster.
Um.
There were some times.
When you were racing.
You didn't know.
You were going to pull it off.
And you didn't know.
It was going to happen.
After that.
Like.
What.
What is there even to do.
After that.
Um.
But.
You pulled it off.
At the last second.
And.
It was.
It was literally.
The last roll.
It was the last roll.
And.
And you guys are.
Walking away.
And.
Somebody has somebody's arm.
Around the other.
Who.
Who is it?
Sarn.
Sarn's putting his arm.
Around Mac.
Uh.
Sarn's putting Sarn's arm.
Around Mac.
Okay.
And.
This is an.
This is like an emotional thing.
That like.
You guys didn't know.
That you would get to.
Um.
Sarn's not an emotional person.
It's very hard to bond.
Bond with Sarn.
And.
It was just something about this.
This teamwork.
That.
Uh.
Really brought you together.
And.
As you guys were walking back.
Presumably.
To the Kahuna.
And.
Um.
With the bike.
That.
Mac managed not.
To.
Um.
Rack.
Even a little bit.
We.
We didn't even use the double.
The booster.
You didn't even use the double turb.
You guys.
Yeah.
And I'm pretty sure.
You guys completely forgot about it.
I had my gun the entire time.
Why didn't I blast somebody.
I don't know.
Uh.
You guys were just wrapped up.
You did it.
You did it fairly.
I mean.
Using the term.
Probably would have been fair too.
But.
Um.
As you guys are walking out.
You guys are pulling the speeder behind you again.
Like a horse.
And you guys are going to go back to.
The Kahuna.
And as you guys are walking.
As you guys are walking out.
Uh.
This.
Uh.
Lex.
Lex Luthor looking fuck.
Comes up to you.
Uh.
By the way.
His name is Jid.
And.
He hands you.
Uh.
And.
He comes up to you.
And he says.
This is.
This is for you.
And.
He hands it to you.
And inside is a.
Um.
It's an envelope.
With a.
A data pad in it.
And.
You guys look at the data pad.
And.
It says.
Um.
Now I fulfill my part of the bargain.
Finding the butt radar.
Is easy.
All you need to do.
Is follow her heart.
Or rather.
Or rather the heart of her lover.
Yet.
Yes.
She.
Even she.
Craves companionship.
In this case.
She keeps company.
With a bounty hunter.
Named.
Michael Torval.
Torval is completely smitten by her.
Majesty.
But there is one thing he doesn't know.
Which is liable to make their romance with her on the vine.
The butt radar.
Intends to kill him.
But not until.
He delivers her.
A bounty.
Which I think you will find.
Very interesting.
Interesting.
Yeah.
.
